Things have turned, and now it is the turn of the Qin people to defend the city and the Chu army to attack. Ever since Xiang Liang died on the plain that day, the Chu-Qi coalition forces have been chasing the defeated Qin army. But because Zhang Han was there

There were many ambushes left along the way, which finally prevented the Chu army from catching up with them in time, and the Qin army was able to safely return to Chen.

County. But not long after they closed the city gate, the Chu army also arrived, and soon an army of 200,000 people surrounded Chen County. But before the Chu army arrived, Zhang Han had already sent fast horses to Xianyang.

, at this critical moment, Zhang Han had no choice but to ask for help from the court, hoping that Hu Hai could send another army to help.

Fortunately, there was Chen County to rely on, so although the Qin army was short of men and horses, had low morale, and was outnumbered by the Qi and Chu coalition forces, it still stood firm and confronted them across the city. The Chu army had to fight hard for days.

In addition, the long-distance pursuit in the past few days was also exhausting, so Qi Chu

After the coalition forces surrounded Chen County, they were not in a hurry to attack. Instead, they stood still and waited for the soldiers to recover before they could think of a solution. At the same time, Liu Bang also sent people to Surabaya to tell Xiao He who stayed there about the situation of the battle.

Let him report the victory to the King of Chu, and also ask the soldiers from Surabaya to bring the siege equipment.

But before his people arrived in Surabaya, the descendants of the Xiang family had already returned to Surabaya City. After meeting Fan Zeng, they told him the news of Xiang Liang's death in battle, but because they were among tens of thousands of troops

, so they did not find that the arrow that caused Xiang Liang's fate was shot from his own formation. They only knew that it was because of Liu Bang's unwillingness to compromise that Xiang Liang died in front of the two armies' formation. But this was enough to make them attack Liu Bang.

Holding a grudge.

"Sir, now that the general has been killed by Liu Bang, we will inevitably become the targets he wants to get rid of quickly. If we don't take action first, I am afraid that when he returns to the army, it will be like the day we died." One person said,

His tone was full of resentment.

Although Fan Zeng's heart was full of anger, he did not think that his current strength could go against Liu Bang. Liu Bang now controlled nearly 200,000 troops, and there was also a confidant of his, Xiao He, in the city of Surabaya.

Not all of the ten thousand people in the city will be willing to listen to you.

It is simply impossible to deal with Liu Bang now. So Fan Zeng sighed and said: "Now I don't have military power in my hands, but Liu Bang has great power. Even if we take action first, we can't do anything to him."

Hurt, I’m afraid your ideas won’t be implemented.”

The children of the Xiang family were angry for a moment when they said that just now. When they heard Fan Zeng's words, they realized that their strength was too far behind that of Liu Bang and they were indeed unable to avenge Xiang Liang. Everyone's faces were full of grief and anger.

Suddenly someone said: "

But General Xiang Yu still has tens of thousands of troops in his hands, why don't we go to him, and with General Xiang Yu's ability, he will definitely be able to get rid of Liu Bang and avenge General Xiang Liang." Upon hearing this, several others agreed, thinking that this was indeed true.

A good idea.

Fan Zeng looked at their expressions and knew that he could not let them compromise with Liu Bang for the time being, so he said: "Then you should go to Jiujiang to find Xiang Yu before the news comes, but you must persuade him to make a decision.

Move, don't act on your own initiative."

"What about you, sir?"

"If I leave, I will definitely be noticed by Xiao He. Then none of us can leave. Only after Xiang Yu leads his troops to get rid of Liu Bang can I meet Xiang Yu. And I can also play a role in spying on their actions here.

It works. Without further ado, you can leave the city now." Fan Zeng was still very calm and did not lose his position because of Xiang Liang's death.

So that night, these descendants of the Xiang family left Surabaya City and headed for Jiujiang. But they did not run very far. Only a few hundred miles away from Surabaya City, they met someone with a large army who wanted to help.

Xiang Yu of Xiang Liang. After listening to the accounts of these people, although Xiang Yu still didn’t know clearly

Which party did Xiang Liang of Chu die in? But one thing has been confirmed, that is, the person who killed Xiang Liang must have had a "contribution" to Liu Bang. "You said that now Liu Bang is leading an army to chase the Qin army to Chen

Did you go to the county?" Xiang, who was thinking more carefully, got to the point.

"Yes, the armies of Chu and Qi have rushed to Chen County. I think they will not be able to take Chen County for a while and drive the Qin people away from our territory of Chu?" one person responded.

Xiang spread out a map made of leather, pointed at Bi County and Surabaya County and said: "General, Liu Bang's army is now in Chen County, so there must not be too many guards in Surabaya City. Since we have to defend the city,

General Liang wants to take revenge. Why not send troops to defeat this Si?

Shuijun was also taken down. Once Liu Bang's logistics are lost, he will definitely have no intention of fighting. We can use the Qin people to eliminate part of his strength first. When he returns to Surabaya City, the possibility of us killing him will also disappear.

Bigger.”

"Yes, there must be soldiers and horses loyal to our Xiang family in the city now, and with Mr. Fan inside to support us, it will not be difficult to capture the city of Surabaya. Send an order to the three armies to march at night. I will attack them the day after tomorrow.

Then Surabaya City launched an attack. Since my uncle died because of the Chu Kingdom, I will take it down as a

I am the foundation of the Xiang family, so I can conquer the world!" Xiang Yu said proudly. He had always only wanted to carve out his own piece of the world, but due to the existence of Xiang Liang, he did not want to take over the Chu State.

By this time, he had changed his mind and decided to seize the power of Chu State to stand on his own feet.

This army is composed of the most skilled soldiers of the Chu State trained by Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu. Therefore, even if they march at night, their speed is not as fast as that of the day march. At the same time, because they are all trained by Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu,

They were trained, so when they heard that Xiang Liang was killed by Liu Bang, they shared the same hatred and wanted to take Liu Bang's life to avenge Xiang Liang. So the army rushed to Sishui City without much delay along the way.

When Xiang Yu's army arrived at Sishui City, the soldiers guarding the city were still dozing. When they saw the army holding a banner with the word "Xiang" suddenly launching an attack on them, those soldiers thought it was Xiang Liang who was carrying a conspiracy.

When the soldiers came to kill them, they panicked for a moment. They didn't even show their proper ability to defend the city, so Xiang Yu's troops were allowed to board the city.

It only took an hour for Xiang Yu to capture the city of Surabaya, which had blocked the Qin army for several months. Of course, this was not because Xiang Yu's army was more powerful than the Qin army. In the final analysis, it was because his attack was too powerful.

Contrary to the expectations of the defenders, and because the sergeant thought that Xiang Liang was bringing Yin to attack, he temporarily lost his fighting spirit, so he was allowed to enter the city easily.

When Xiao He heard that a team with the banner of Xiang was attacking the city, he had already guessed that Xiang Yu was attacking. This was what he could think of when he heard the people sent by Liu Bang mention Xiang Liang's death.

Yes, but he didn't expect that Xiang Yu's army was attacking just after he knew the news, so he couldn't take corresponding measures in time. He only had time to open the city gate and escape from the other side with a few cronies before Xiang Yu broke through the city.

Go out and give the news to Liu Bang, who is fighting the Qin people, so that he can be prepared.

"The minister led an army of 100,000 to attack the three counties of Chu, Dang, and Chen, and then directed his troops directly at Surabaya. Unexpectedly, the Chu people resisted to the end. In fact, a total of 200,000 people from all over the country rushed to the aid of Surabaya, and they held on even more

I didn't want to spend time with our Qin army under the city of Surabaya. In order to lead the Chu army out of the city, I falsely claimed that the imperial court had ordered the army to retreat. The Chu people fell into the trap and led their troops to pursue them in a valley.

The minister annihilated the more than 30,000 Chu troops who were chasing him and captured his general Xiang Liang alive. However, Xiang Liang's troops were just the vanguard, and more than 100,000 Chu troops came after him.

However, the traitors from Qi State came and raided the flanks of our army. As a result, our army was defeated by the Chu people. We were unable to lead the troops to retreat to Chen County. Now we can only hold on to Chen County and wait for the imperial army to come for reinforcements. The guilty general Zhang Han stopped.

"Hu Hai read a letter and threw it on the ground of the hall. He said angrily: "I thought that Zhang Han would be able to completely recover the Chu land with an army of 100,000, but unexpectedly they were severely beaten.

Defeat, how is that different from the defeat of the day shift and Zhao Changke that day? What a waste, but now you are still thinking of asking me for troops!"

After Zhao Gao received this letter asking for help from Chen County, he thought it was a good opportunity to get Hu Hai to agree to transfer the soldiers and horses from Hangu Pass, and at the same time, he could even ask Hu Hai to send more troops out to reach

At this time, he was more sure of the success of his plan. After hearing what Hu Hai said, Zhao Gao hurriedly put in good words for Zhang Han and said: "In fact, General Zhang is already the first person to use troops in the world. If it weren't for the fact that his military strength is not as good as that of the Chu people,

If there are more, I'm afraid he won't be defeated by the Chu people. Moreover, he also killed Xiang Liang, the most powerful general in Chu State, which will be of great help to us in destroying Chu in the future. If we don't take over Chu in one fell swoop now,

Come back, I'm afraid there won't be such a good chance to regain the Chu land in the future. At the same time, this will also damage General Zhang's self-confidence. I'm afraid that he won't be able to face the Chu army like he did now, so I ask the emperor to issue an order.

Then send a large army to assist General Zhang to help him completely destroy the Chu State."

Ziying also echoed: "What Mr. Zhao said this time is true. As long as the emperor sends a large army to Chu, Chu will be destroyed by me. When the time comes, I will destroy Qi and Fusu, and our country Qin will be destroyed."

Then I returned to my old outlook.”

Hu Hai looked at Zhao Gao, then at Ziying, and after a long time he nodded and said: "Then, as Zhang Han requested, I ordered the army guarding Hangu Pass to go out to help, and at the same time, I also gathered people from all counties and counties.

Get up and go to the Chu land together. I must take back the Chu land this time and kill all those rebellious officials and traitors!" After he finished speaking, he began to write the imperial edict.
