Qiang Qin

The water will come naturally, since both Chen Jun and Dang Jun have been taken by Xiang Yu, then Dong Jun will naturally not be able to hold on.Because of the momentary negligence and misjudgment of Fusu and others, Xiang Yu finally took down Chen Jun and other three counties in the shortest time. Let them once again have the determination to fight the Qin people to the death because of their hatred for the Qin people.

Xiang Yu stood on the top of the city wall of Dongjun. Although the three counties had already fallen into his hands, there was no joy in his heart.Yes, now the civil strife in Chu State has also been quelled by himself by mistake, and even the king of Chu who is the most likely threat to him has been eliminated by him, and the morale of the Chu army has been greatly boosted, but Xiang Yu knows He has more to lose. "I'm afraid that Jiujiang and Kuaiji counties may not be able to defend for long when the Qin army's soldiers are suppressing the border. Then if I take these three cities now, won't I have to fight the Qin army in the end? And these three cities add up. It’s not as easy to defend and difficult to attack as the two cities in Kuaiji. What should I do now?” Xiang Yu kept asking himself in his heart, but it’s a pity that until now he still has no clue how to solve the current situation.Now he began to miss Fan Zeng, Xiang He and Long Qie and other capable people. If one of them was by his side to figure out a way with him, maybe now they have figured out a way to turn defeat into victory.Thinking of the three of them, Xiang Yu began to try to think of himself as the three of them, and think from their perspective.

It's a pity that Xiang Yu's understanding of them is only that they are good advisers and generals, but he still knows too little about their personalities.Suddenly, Xiang Yu turned his eyes to the northwest: "Since we can't get a solution from the three of them, let's think about it from my own point of view. I, Xiang Yu, will not shrink back because the situation is not good for me. I just blindly defend. You should continue to attack." As soon as he thought of attacking, Xiang Yu had an idea, "Although I have only about [-] troops now, shouldn't the Qin people have fewer troops than me in their own land? The gateway to the Central Plains is already in my hands, so why don’t I capture a few cities in the Central Plains? In this way, the Qin army who is attacking our Chu State will be in chaos, and the crisis will naturally be resolved at that time.” Xiang Yu thought of this for himself Overjoyed at the idea, he looked up to the sky and laughed a few times, and immediately issued an order to the soldiers to leave the city and go west, but the Chu soldiers were completely confused.

But since Xiang Yu had already issued the military order, those soldiers had to follow Xiang Yu out of the Dongjun County that he had just taken down, even if they had doubts in their hearts, and headed for the Central Plains area.

The news that Xiang Yu took three cities in a row finally reached Fusu's ears, but at this time Fusu had no time to take care of this, because he had already led his troops to the city of Kuaiji, and was asking the soldiers to kill them Take it down.However, Fan Zeng, who was guarding Kuaiji, had already made preparations. Yiying had enough equipment to defend the city. The walls of the city were surrounded by the Chu army and the people in the city. No matter where the Qin army came from, there were several people with weapons. And the stones went up to them, and beat them hard.

After a few days, the city of Kuaiji was still as solid as gold. Obviously, the people of Chu put a lot of effort and painstaking efforts in establishing this as the capital. The defense ability of Kuaiji at this time is no longer inferior to that of Handan and other cities. What Su didn't want to see the most.After another failed siege, Fusu looked at the sky that was about to darken, and gave the order to call gold.After all the generals returned to their camps, Fusu recruited them all into his tent, and he wanted to hear their opinions on Kuaiji City.

"Your Majesty, it is obvious that the people of Chu are defending the city with the determination to die. As the saying goes, mourners must win. Although they cannot be regarded as mourners now, their strength should not be underestimated." The general, who had lost nearly half of his troops, sighed, with deep regret in his tone.Several other generals who had encountered the same situation as him also nodded in agreement with him, and they were even more humane: "Your Majesty, now our soldiers in Daqin are exhausted, and there is only one city left in Chu to defend, why not release them first?" Once released, lead the army back to Xianyang, and wait until the next year to fight again?"

"Impossible!" Zhang Liang objected immediately: "How can we fall short of our achievements? Now that the Chu people have been suppressed by me, only this city is left. As long as our army attacks for a few more days, the people and soldiers in the city will suffer. No, Kuaiji will naturally be taken down by us at that time. But if we return to Xianyang at this time, I am afraid that the people of Chu will stand up again, and we will rebuild all the cities we have taken down now because we are beyond our reach. It fell into the hands of the Chu people. Then the previous hard battles became useless, and the soldiers who died in the front were of no value. So I think it is the right way to continue to attack the city."

Fusu also agreed with Zhang Liang's idea, but seeing that many soldiers had died in the past few days, but Kuaiji was still standing still, and Xiang Yu and others had cut off his retreat, which made him There was hesitation.Fusu looked at Han Xin on the other side, waiting for him to express his opinion.Because Meng Tian and Zhang Han were attacking Jiujiang and were not around, Fusu relied on them most now.

Han Xin pondered for a while and said: "Your Majesty, Kuaiji is indeed the most difficult to attack at this time, because the more than [-] people in its city have become a force to defend the city, although they are really a group of mobs on the battlefield. , is not my opponent with thousands of elite soldiers, but defending the city is enough. So if we force the city to attack, even if we can capture the city, the losses will be huge, so we should think of other ways."

Seeing Han Xin's confident appearance, Zhang Liang knew that he had already made up his mind, so he asked Fusu on his behalf, "If General Han has any plans, just tell them."

Han Dao said: "It is beneficial for the Chu people in the city to rely on the people to defend the city, that is, it can make up for the shortage of our two sides in terms of military strength, but there is also a disadvantage of using the people to defend the city, that is, they are not real warriors after all. Discipline on the battlefield is not enough. As long as we can make them confused, they will lose their fighting spirit. At that time, this state will be transmitted to the real soldiers of the Chu army in the city. There will be very little resistance.”

He understood the truth of Fusu Jing at one point, nodded and said: "This is indeed a good idea to attack Kuaiji, then we will follow this plan and destroy the fighting spirit of the people in the city."

Many generals didn't understand the meaning, they all stood there with big eyes and small eyes, and Fu Su gave Zhang Liang a wink when he saw it.Zhang Liang said with a smile: "It's actually very simple. As long as we spread the news of Xiang Yu's death to the Chu people in the city, I think those people will naturally panic." All the generals suddenly realized, and nodded repeatedly thinking that this is a feasible and good idea. plan.

After everything was discussed, all the generals also resigned, leaving only Fusu in the tent.Although Fusu had hope of defeating Kuaiji because of this method, he still couldn't relax in his heart. The news about Xiang Yu's capture of the three counties was only known to him, Zhang Liang, and Han Xin. If other people found out, the morale of the army would definitely be messed up. , so he is also eager to take down Kuaiji and Jiujiang as soon as possible. Only after taking down these two cities can he bring his troops back to deal with Xiang Yu. "Now the food and grass in our army is only enough to last for half a month. Within this half month, I must take down Jiangji and Jiujiang! Otherwise, once the food runs out, things will happen, and Xiang Yu will go further and beat me after taking down the three counties. The idea of ​​other cities, it seems that everything will be resolved in this half month." Thinking of this, Fusu couldn't help but think of Jiujiang City on the other side, and wondered whether Jiujiang City could be defended under the attack of Meng Tian and his wife. live.

Jiujiang City is currently engaged in a big battle. After receiving Fusu's order and knowing that Xiang Yu had escaped, Meng Tian knew that they could no longer just besiege the city without attacking, so Meng Tian and Zhang Han brought troops to fight against each other. Jiujiang City launched wave after wave of attacks.After coming down to the city several times, the remaining Chu army could no longer hold on.

Seeing this situation, Meng Tian and the two would not let go of this opportunity. Zhang Han felt that he would personally lead the troops to rush to the city, set up ladders for the soldiers, and head towards Jiujiang City.Because of the leadership of General Zhang Han, the morale of the Qin army was greatly boosted, and they had already reached the city several times. However, because of Xiang Ta's command and Xiang Zhuang's brave resistance, it was impossible for the Qin army to fully ascend. They went to the city, but both sides knew that Jiujiang City could not be defended any longer, and the destruction of the city was imminent.

Seeing the darkening sky, Meng Tian ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops.He also knew that although the broken city was coming soon, he couldn't rush it for a while, otherwise the losses of the soldiers would be even greater.After Zhang Han returned to the camp, he was very dissatisfied with Meng Tian's withdrawal of troops: "General Meng, I brought troops and went up from the south gate again. As long as we persist, more soldiers will go to the city. It’s broken. Why are you asking for gold at this time.”

Meng Tian smiled and said: "General Zhang, I know you are eager to capture this city to avenge your shame, but the soldiers should rest after fighting for a day. And even though you went to the city, the Chu army has already mobilized troops quickly, Our army cannot take this city in the dark."

Although Zhang Han wanted to make meritorious service, he also knew that what Meng Tian said was right, so he didn't say anything more, but went back to his tent to think about how to attack the city again tomorrow.

In Jiujiang City, the two of Xiang and He are already at their wit's end. The two of them sit quietly in the hall, you look at me, I look at you, but neither of them speaks. They know that maybe tomorrow Jiujiang will... It was broken, and now they only hope that Xiang Yu can solve the crisis in Kuaiji and make Chu State safe.
