Qiang Qin

Hearing what Zhang Liang said, Fusu immediately looked at him. He was worrying about attacking the two fortified cities of Jiujiang and Kuaiji in succession. It would be a blessing to the Qin army if he could attack one less city. The big good thing: "If Zifang has any clever plan, just tell it. Your plan may save tens of thousands of soldiers from dying in battle."

Zhang Liangdao: "In fact, according to the news from Chu, although Xiang Yu has controlled the entire Chu State, there should be quite a few people in the Chu State who are against him. Especially the King of Chu, because the soldiers and horses are all there. Only in Xiang Yu's hands can he be manipulated by him. But if Xiang Yu loses again and again in the confrontation with our army, his prestige among the Chu people will be greatly reduced, and those who have enemies with him in the first place I will take this opportunity to do some tricks behind his back. When he is unstable internally, he will no longer be able to defend Jiujiang. He may go out of the city to fight me again in order to restore his prestige in the hearts of Chu people. Victory in one battle will put an end to these rumors, and of course he will lead his troops back to Kuaiji to secure the foundation first. This way we won’t have to attack Jiujiang City by force.”

Fusu listened carefully to Zhang Liang's words, and after a while he said: "Zifang is right, this is indeed a good strategy to make Chu Junfa defend Jiujiang City to death. And we don't need any troops, we just need to share the news Pass it to the spies in Chudi through carrier pigeons, and they can spread it there, and then the whole Kuaiji will know the news of Xiang Yu's defeat in Surabaya." Since he thought this was a good strategy, Fusu immediately sent Peng Hong called over and asked him to send a letter to the spies of Chu in Kuaiji and other counties and counties, and let them spread the news of Xiang Yu's defeat. At the same time, he had to say some alarmist words. The common people feel the threat is great, which makes them panic. This will also be a good opportunity for those who oppose Xiang Yu.

But Fusu's army continued to march towards Jiujiang, and after joining up with Meng Tian and others there, they mainly besieged Jiujiang City to reduce their own losses, and waited quietly for the emergence of internal turmoil in the Chu army.

When Fusu rushed to the city of Jiujiang with his army, news had already spread in Kuaiji County: Xiang Yu led his troops to fight the Qin army in Sishui City. After the first battle, not only Sishui City was taken down by Qin army, but also the More than half of the [-] Chu troops also died outside the city of Surabaya.Xiang Yu had no choice but to flee to Jiujiang City with tens of thousands of remnant soldiers, and could not hold on to it, but judging from the situation, Jiujiang City might not be able to defend it for a few days.Along with this news, there are some more outrageous rumors in the market, saying that Xiang Yu has already planned to surrender to the Qin people, and the reason why he is in Jiujiang now is negotiating terms with the Qin people. It was handed over to the hands of the Qin people... Wait for the rumors, it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false, and it is widely known in Kuaiji and other places. The common people have begun to feel uneasy, and even some soldiers of the Chu army who stayed in the city have begun to believe These rumours.

When Fan Zeng heard this rumor for the first time, he just smiled disdainfully, thinking that it was just the words of some people fleeing from Surabaya because they were afraid in their hearts. Seriously, Fan Zeng finally saw that the situation was not good. "Come on, quickly go to the city to find out where did the news about our army's defeat and Jiujiang's loss come from? Human heart." Fan Zeng ordered.

But at this time, no one can figure out who the person who spread the news is. Anyway, the people are spreading these words, and everyone's face is full of panic, as if the people of Qin have already killed the city of Kuaiji generally.

Seeing the fundamental method to find the originator of the rumors from the source, Fan Zeng had to order his soldiers to spread some news that was beneficial to him in the city. Seeing that the high walls and thick walls there are enough to resist the attack of the Qin people, it is not so easy for the Qin army to kill Kuaiji.But no matter how good he said, the people had already preconceivedly believed what he said before, and it was a fact that Surabaya was occupied by the Qin people, which turned his explanation into a cover-up, and the people in the city were still panicked.

Just when people in this Kuaiji were unstable, several people who hadn't moved for a long time got together again and began to discuss how to add fire to the chaos and make the chaos even bigger. It was Zhou Bo, Cao Shen and Xia Houying.

When Liu Bang led his troops out, because of his alliance with Qu Dou and in order to keep his own power in Kuaiji City, he didn't take these three people with him.In this way, Fan Zeng's sudden attack in Sishui City only killed Liu Bang and Xiao He, but the three most loyal Liu Bang survived.Later, when Xiang Yu came to Kuaiji with an army, he only got rid of Qu Dou and other people who had been enemies with him, but he didn't embarrass Zhou Bo and the others.Seeing that the situation is already like this, the few of them can only protect themselves first, and each of them is doing what he should do in his post.And as time went by, Xiang Yu and others also forgot about the three of them, only when they became Chu Chen wholeheartedly, or became Xiang Yu's subordinates.But the appearance of this incident made the three of them feel that an opportunity had finally come.

The three thought that they never met in private because they were afraid that Xiang Yu's people would be suspicious, but the contact between the three was still constant. Now that Zhou Bo proposed to meet, the other two did not hesitate, and the three met each other in one night. In an ordinary family in Kuaiji City.This family used to be Liu Bang's subordinates, and Liu Bang settled him here only because the male master was injured and could no longer go to the battlefield.And this person knows that he can have this day because of Liu Bang's support, and he has always been loyal to him.After preparing some drinks for the three of them, the male host limped outside to let them relax.

Zhou Bo poured wine for the other two and said: "Ever since Peigong was killed by Xiang Yu, the three of us have never met in private. Thinking about it, you and I are really ashamed. As Peigong's life and death brothers, after he was killed by Xiang Yu Afterwards, not only can’t avenge him, but also serve under the account of the enemy.”

Cao Shendao: "This is also an act of desperation. Xiang Yu's status in Chu is too high. Only the three of us and those soldiers who are loyal to us cannot fight Xiang Yu. Otherwise, the three of us will not survive. It's today."

Zhou Bo spilled the wine on the ground and said, "For the first glass of wine, let's pay homage to the spirits of Pei Gong and Lao Xiao. I hope they can help us succeed in this matter." The other two also spilled the wine in their cups on the ground .

After being silent for a while, Xia Houying said: "Zhou Bo, you are the most cunning of us except Lao Xiao. Tell us what we should do this time."

Zhou Bo poured wine for the three of them again, and then said: "You two must have heard the rumor that Xiang Yu was finally defeated by the Qin people. Although there are some exaggerations in it, we can't believe it all. But it is always an indisputable fact that Xiang Yu, who has never been defeated, failed. And this gave us a chance, a chance to disrupt his rear in Kuaiji."

"What do you mean we started an incident here? Let there be chaos in Chu, so that Xiang Yu in Jiujiang will lose his backing, and completely defeated by the Qin people?" Cao Shen asked.

"It's too difficult." Xia Houying said, "Since the death of Pei Gong, the number of people loyal to us has become less and less. Now we can use only one or two thousand people, but now the people in Kuaiji who are loyal to Xiang Yu are few. It is far greater than this number, once we rebel, we will definitely be eliminated by his people."

Zhou Bo shook his head and said: "At the beginning I also had such a plan, but later I rejected this method. In fact, we have always forgotten one person. As long as he comes forward, even if there are [-] troops in the city, as long as Xiang Yu is not here. You can make them all obey orders."

"Who is it?" Cao Shenxia Houying asked at the same time, the two really did not expect such a person.

"That is the king of Chu who has been under house arrest by Xiang Yu in the palace. Although he has not issued any edicts for a long time, he is still the king of our country of Chu. Once he speaks, the people in the city will naturally follow He is gone, and those soldiers, under such circumstances, will inevitably turn to our side, and then the Kuaiji will be in our hands." Zhou Bo said.

Xia Houying's eyes lit up when they heard this, they had indeed already considered the fact that there is still a great king in Chu, and now after Zhou Bo talked about it, they realized that this king of Chu is actually a very useful pawn.So they all agreed with Zhou Bo's words, and the three of them discussed the details, as well as the manpower they could trust and mobilize.

After the three of them had discussed everything, the east was already turning pale. Looking at the sky that was about to light up, the three of them poured their drinks on the ground again: "Pei Gong, Lao Xiao, Lao Fan, let's go together You came out of Surabaya, but you were all killed by Xiang Yu. Now we will take this opportunity to stab Xiang Yu's confidant and let him taste the taste of failure. I also hope that the three of you in the sky can bless you We." After saying this, the three of them prostrated themselves on the ground, the sunlight shone on the chair at this moment, and Ling's black shadow was cast on the three kneeling on the ground, which appeared mottled.

At this time, Xiang Yu, who was in Jiujiang, also received a message from Kuaiji County, knowing that there was going to be trouble there.Xiang Yu looked at Qin Jun outside the city, but his mind was full of things about Kuaiji. He didn't know whether he should go back, and whether Fan Zeng could help him stabilize the rear.
