Liu Bang returned to the back house full of apprehension. A glamorous woman asked him when she saw that he had something to do in Xinzhong, "Peigong now has three counties, why are you still frowning?" It's just that there is a murderous look between the eyebrows, which dilutes her natural beauty. It is Liu Bang's wife Lu Zhi.

Liu Bang sighed and said: "Ma'am, you don't know something. How can I be happy now that Chu people are coming to my Sishui County?" He picked up a jar of wine and poured it full One jue, one gulp.

"It turned out to be for a war. You can rest assured, Mr. Pei." Lu Zhi said with a relaxed smile, "The Chu people are not going to kill us completely. We can fight them a few battles first."

"What do you mean by Madam's words?" Liu Bang put the jar that was pouring wine into the juli back on the table, and asked with his head raised.

"Don't forget that our biggest enemies are all Qin people. I also heard that you refused the Chu people's surrender, which is why they raised their troops to attack. We only need to open the city and surrender when we really want the city to fall. Now, Xiang Liang and others will definitely not harm us in order to set an example for other insurgents. So we can fight against them first. If we win, everything will be fine. The people of Chu just surrendered, so Pei Gong has to worry." Lu Zhi said confidently.

After hearing her words, Liu Bang put the wine cup in Liu Bang's hand on the table, nodded repeatedly and said: "Madam's analysis is unreasonable, so it seems that we are standing in a place of complete initiative, so I can rest assured." A glass of wine.

Lu Zhi looked at him strangely: "How do you drink after you know we are safe?"

"Haha, just now I drank with sorrow, but now I drank with joy. The two are completely different." Liu Bang laughed and poured another jue of wine into his mouth.

Lu Zhi rolled his eyes at him angrily: "I know you are just looking for excuses to drink, hey, why did I marry such a husband as you?"

"Haha, if you don't marry me, who will I marry? I am the only one who can bear your advice." Liu Bang's complaints about his wife were completely inappropriate.

Lu Zhi walked up to him and snatched the wine baron with his hands, saying: "Today I will tell you to regret marrying me." As he spoke, he knocked Liu Bang down.When the two were about to play, Xiao He's voice came from outside: "Pei Gong! Pei Gong!"

The two hurriedly sat up and straightened their clothes completely. Lu Zhi stood next to Liu Bang, and then Xiao He walked in.As soon as he came in, he said to Liu Bang: "Pei Gong, I have come up with another plan, so I am here to report it."

"What kind of plan is it possible to retreat from the Chu army immediately?" Liu Bang immediately regained his energy when he heard that there was a plan, and pointed to the seat beside him and said, "Old Xiao, sit down and talk slowly."

Xiao He and Liu Bang are old friends for many years, so although there is a difference, it is very casual. He is also very familiar with Lu Zhi, so he doesn't care. He knelt on the table and said: "Although our army is not as brave as the Chu army, But our army has a few points, we can transfer all the troops from Donghai County and Dang County to attack from three sides, and the Chu army will naturally not be our opponent."

"Why didn't I think of this? Immediately order people to go out of the city to seek help from Lao Fan from Dang County and Lao Zhou from Donghai." Liu Bang jumped up from his seat and said when he heard this.

"Don't worry, Mr. Pei, I have ordered people to send letters to these two places. What we need to do now is to stick to Surabaya, and when the reinforcements arrive, we can drive the Chu people out of this place." Xiao He also said confidently.

Xiang Liang's army had reached ten miles away from Surabaya at this time, and he ordered the army to station first, and wait until dawn the next day to attack Surabaya.Fusu didn't enter his camp, but ran to find Han Xin. During the march, he would talk to Han Xin whenever he had time, which benefited him a lot.After Han Xin was busy with what he should do as a soldier, the two found a secluded place to put a jar of wine and chatted again.

"Brother Han, do you think our Chu army has a good chance of winning this time when the army goes to Surabaya?" Fu Su asked as he poured wine for both of them.

Han Xin took a sip from his wine glass and said, "If it's just Surabaya, I, Dachu, must be able to capture it, but now Liu Bang has the land of Donghai, Sishui and Dangjun. When their reinforcements arrive, they will catch us by surprise, but if we preserve our strength and attack the city, we may not be able to take down Surabaya, so I am not optimistic about the attack by the Chu army." Now the two have become friends, so Han Xin also has a Say one, don't hide your thoughts.

Fusu was taken aback when he heard what he said, and he didn't expect that Liu Bang still had two groups of troops not far from Surabaya. It seemed that this expedition was indeed a bit ill-considered, so he asked: "Is there any way to do it?" Crack it?"

"In my opinion, there are two ways now. One is to lead the troops back, but this will inevitably hurt the morale of our army, and it is a step that cannot be taken until the last step; the other is to launch a large-scale attack on Surabaya with large troops. Capture Surabaya before they reach reinforcements, but there is a lot of uncertainty. So I prefer to retreat, so that at least we can preserve the strength of our army." Han Xin took another sip of wine as he spoke.

After Fusu heard his words, he stared blankly at the wine in his hand and said nothing, Han Xin asked a little strangely: "Zhou Changshi, who is this?"

Fusu actually thought of a way, but he couldn't make up his mind whether he should help the Chu army to deal with Liu Bang. In his mind, the more chaotic the old land of Chu State, the more beneficial he was, but he also thought that Xiang Liang was not bad for him. , he couldn't bear to see their defeat, so he fell into deep thought for a while.

Seeing that Fusu ignored him, Han Xin keenly sensed that Fusu had thought of a solution to the current problem, so he asked loudly, "Did Mr. Zhou think of any good way to solve the current predicament?"

Fusu's thoughts were interrupted by his words, he raised his head and nodded unconsciously: "Yes!" As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he regretted a little, but now that this happened, he simply said: "Actually, we were completely defeated by Surabaya. This goal fascinates my heart. In fact, looking at it from another angle, our goal is to defeat Liu Bang instead of taking down Surabaya. Therefore, we can deploy heavy troops on the only way for reinforcements. As long as they are excluded, Dang County and Donghai County will become We have something in our bag, and by that time there will only be one county of Surabaya left, so Liu Bang’s invincibility will also be defeated.” Fusu’s idea was to learn from our own army’s usual trick to deal with the enemy. He thought of surrounding Surabaya and fighting for reinforcements from the other two counties.

Hearing his words, Han Xin's eyes lit up: "This is indeed a good plan. Lord Zhou, go talk to General Xiang, otherwise tomorrow he will order the army to attack the city, and our Chu army will suffer casualties."

Fusu hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.He originally wanted to give this credit to Han Xin, but he thought that if he showed his talents now, he might be reused by Xiang Liang. By then, his wishful thinking of accepting him for his own use would be useless, so Don't take it off anymore.

When Fusu came outside Xiang Liang's tent, he was about to rest. When he heard that Zhou Wei had something to see, Xiang Liang hurried out and said, "Mr. Zhou, did you think of any way to break the city?" Wen Bian welcomed Fusu into the tent.

The coach's large tent is naturally much better than ordinary people's tents. Not only does it have a sleeping couch, but also several seats and a small table, and a small jar of wine is also placed on the table.After Xiang Liang asked Fu Su to sit down, he filled a glass of wine for himself and the other party, and then asked the question again.Fu Su smiled and said: "I didn't think of the method of breaking the city, but just thought of a situation that is very unfavorable to our army." As he spoke, he said exactly what he thought of.

Xiang Liang's face changed when he heard this. He really ignored the strength of Liu Bang's other counties. He stood up from the scene, walked back and forth twice, and then came to Fusu and said, "Young master, since If you see the problem, there must be a solution." The tone was full of expectation.

Fu Su smiled and said, "I don't know what the general can do?"

Xiang Liang smiled wryly, "I think there are only one way to attack by force and the other way to retreat, but both methods are extremely unfavorable to me."

Fusu saw that he couldn't think of any good method, so he explained his method of besieging the city and fighting for aid.After Xiang Liang heard this, he slapped Xiaoji suddenly: "Good idea, this way can greatly weaken Liu Bang's strength, and our army's losses will not be too great. It seems that the young master is indeed a man of far-reaching resourcefulness. "

Fu Su modestly said a few words and left Xiang Liang's camp. He didn't know how his helping the Chu people this time would affect the situation here.

The next day, surrounded by Xia Houying and others, Liu Bang arrived at the city of Surabaya, but he did not see the Chu army attacking him. They just surrounded the army around Surabaya, completely isolating Surabaya from the outside world.

"What are they trying to do? Why don't they attack us when our morale is high?" Liu Bang asked looking at the strange behavior of the Chu people outside the city.

Xiao He looked at the situation outside and said: "It seems that they may have seen through our intentions, and instead of rushing to attack the city, they want to deal with Zhou Bo and Fan Kui's reinforcements."

"Then what should we do?" Liu Bang asked in shock when he heard that his strategy had been thwarted by the enemy.

"Can we lead our army out to fight them?" Xia Houying eagerly asked.

"No, we are still not sure what they really think. If the Chu people just want to lure us out so that we can be wiped out, wouldn't that be in their favor?" Xiao He hurriedly stopped Xia Houying.

"But it's not good for us to spend so much time." Liu Bang said worriedly.

"It seems that we can only think of a way after our reinforcements arrive." Xiao He also looked helplessly at the Chu army who did not attack outside the city.
