Fusu was overjoyed when he received the news that most of the Huns invaded by Meng Yi had been wiped out. He ordered people to reward the soldiers guarding the border in the northern counties generously, and promoted each of them from the general level to the next level. Just as Fusu was

When he was overjoyed, Peng Hong had already brought a piece of news to the palace.

Because Fusu's attention has recently been focused on the Central Plains and the South, Fusu no longer pays attention to the situation on the Xiongnu side. The Xiongnu has indeed not sent any more troops since the failed armies were annihilated by Fusu and the others.

People came to invade, which was one of the reasons why Fusu did not focus on them at first. As a result, the news from there was transmitted slowly. But when Fusu saw the news from the Huns, he

I knew that the situation was not as optimistic as I thought. The silk book sent from the Huns recorded that the reason why the Huns suddenly attacked the border town this time was because there was an army from the Central Plains killing and plundering everywhere on the grassland, and this time

The Huns also sent spies to the Central Plains, and all the Huns' actions were written down in detail.

After Fusu read it, he said to several ministers on the side: "Based on what is written in this secret letter, this group of people who are plundering on the grassland must be the white class and him who disappeared a few days ago.

We didn't expect that they would actually enter the territory of the Huns. They also made the Huns have a strong hatred for us and provoked a war between us. Now the Huns are being asked to send spies into the Central Plains. I'm afraid they should have known it by now.

We have just conquered the world, and if the Xiongnu rulers are still wise, they will take the opportunity to send troops to attack us." Fusu said this and glanced at Zhang Han who was standing below.

Zhang Han felt Fusu's gaze and said hurriedly: "Baiban and his three thousand troops were released privately by me. I am willing to lead troops to the north to prevent the Huns from attacking our Central Plains to make up for my mistakes. I also ask for the emperor's permission."

.”

Fusu smiled and said: "General Zhang is serious. In fact, even if there are no people on the day shift making noise on the grassland, once the grassland calms down completely and winter comes again, these Huns who have been trying to attack me in the Central Plains will definitely send troops.

It's just that this gives them more excuses. So the general doesn't have to blame himself too much. Moreover, as soon as the day shift makes trouble on the grassland, the Huns will divide their troops to guard their own territory. The Huns who came to attack this time

There shouldn’t be too many people.”

Zhang Liang also said: "What the emperor said is true. I also believe that the destruction of the Xiongnu by the three thousand troops in the day shift will also cause the Xiongnu's logistics shortage, which may have an adverse impact on them in future battles."

Han Xin said: "So I believe that now is the time for us to defeat the Xiongnu in one fell swoop. Once the Xiongnu are defeated, our Daqin's rear will be stable, and then we can use all our strength to deal with Chu."

Hearing this, Fusu nodded repeatedly: "What the ministers said is true, then let's take this opportunity to send troops to the northern counties to prepare for a showdown with the Huns." When he arrived, Fusu suddenly thought of what he had ordered.

The chain horses that came out have not been used yet. He was supposed to use them when attacking Xianyang and several other counties. Unexpectedly, it later turned into a critical battle, and the role of the cavalry was not used at all. But now he went to the grassland to fight with

It's different when the enemy is fighting. There is a flat ground there, which is just suitable for dozens of horses to charge together. Thinking of this, Fusu's face showed a smile that he was sure of victory.

Now that everyone has agreed on the plan to fight the Huns, the whole country has been mobilized. Many troops originally stationed in various places have been transferred to the north, and the grain stored in warehouses in various places has also been transported by people everywhere.

When they came down to several counties in the north, Da Qin was united and decided to deal another heavy blow to the Huns.

But at this moment, the arrival of a piece of news disrupted Fusu's plans, forcing him and Zhang Liang to consider whether the war could start. That was the news sent from Chu and Qi at the same time -

After several months of violent attacks, Xiang Yu finally captured Linzi, the capital of Qi. This news immediately put Fusu and others in a dilemma.

After Xiang Yu sent out troops, he easily captured all the cities in Qi except Linzi, and then surrounded Linzi city. Now Xiang Yu sent troops to attack Qi. This is different from the last time. What Xiang Yu did last time was

He did not lead many men and horses, and Qu Dou and others were behind him to hinder him. Finally, the Zhao people found an opportunity and failed. However, this time Xiang Yu had already controlled the entire Chu country, and no one could compete with him.

He also brought all the people who were left behind to guard his territory to come. This time, it can be said that he arrived at the foot of Linzi City with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai.

However, after the Qi people sent 50,000 horses and horses to aid Chu, only more than 10,000 people came back under the leadership of Jiang Huan, they fell into despair. Now they are once again facing the moment when the city is destroyed and the country is destroyed. There is no death in the whole city.

The courage to survive. This is also determined by the character of the people of Qi. When the Qin people destroyed the six kingdoms, the only ones who surrendered were the Qi people. In the end, almost all the people named Tian were killed. But now we see that Chu

The people slowly diverted the water from the moat to other directions. The Chu soldiers continued to fire random arrows at the city and attacked day and night. Half of the Qi people in the city decided to open the city and surrender.

The King of Qi looked at the ministers below, with sadness in his eyes. When these people pushed him to the throne, they vowed to live and die with him, and to live and die with the state of Qi. However, it has only been a few days since the Chu people besieged the city.

The conversation of these people changed and they began to persuade him to surrender. He knew very well that these people wanted to surrender, which was to protect their own wealth. After all, even if Xiang Yu captured Linzi City, he would not be familiar with the situation in Qi.

He had all the officials killed, and he still needed these people to manage the people here for him. But as the king of Qi, his fate might not be so optimistic. The best ending would be to be put under house arrest like the king of Chu.

Just when King Qi was lost in thought, a minister spoke again: "Your Majesty, the Chu army is several times larger than mine at this time. Our army has no intention of resisting at all. Why not attack the city before the war has really started?"

As for surrendering, the hatred between the Chu people and Xiang Yu will be smaller. When the Chu people enter the city, they will not kill innocent people indiscriminately. This is also a good thing for the people of Qi. Your Majesty, you can’t

Don’t hesitate any more.”

Before the King of Qi could react, another minister said: "Your Majesty, as far as I know, this Yu is cruel. If he is really pushed to the limit, he will really order the massacre of the city after the city is broken. For the sake of our country, Qi."

People, please ask your Majesty to order the city to be opened."

"Please, Your Majesty, give the order to open the city!" Suddenly, as if they had agreed, all the ministers knelt in front of King Qi and said in unison. After saying this, they all looked up at King Qi above.

King Qi felt the endless pressure they brought to him. In fact, he wanted to say that this was not the first time that Xiang Yu attacked Linzi.

How could he care about hatred one more time? But King Qi also knew very well that what these people said was for the people, but in fact the real reason was for themselves. If he did not agree to their request, there would be no guarantee that these people would not

He would first get rid of himself before opening the city to surrender to Xiang Yu. King Qi looked helplessly and sadly at the courtiers below, and finally made up his mind and said: "Then open the city and surrender to the Chu army. I only hope that Xiang Yu

Can you do what you said and not embarrass the people?"

The ministers were relieved when they heard this. Although the King of Qi could no longer make the decision at this time, these officials did not want to bear the bad reputation of seeking glory from their master until the last moment, let alone kill them easily.

Kill the monarch. So as soon as King Qi finished saying this, everyone praised loudly: "Your Majesty is wise!" But these words sounded extremely ironic to King Qi's ears.

Xiang Yu, who was waiting outside the city, was getting impatient. He regretted following Fan Zeng's advice and just surrounded Linzi City and sent a small force to attack, while the large force stayed in the camp and waited for everyone to leave the city and surrender. Fan Zeng said that Xiang Yu now

The real enemy is Fusu, who has been replaced by Ziying. The purpose of attacking Qi is to increase his own strength. However, if he attacks Linzi City with all his strength, it will lead to heavy casualties. It is better to attack the heart first and make the Qi people spontaneous.

Come out and surrender. At first, Xiang Yu thought it would be better not to fight as long as no damage was caused, but after a few days, he couldn't sit still. These Qi people were just holding on to the city and had no intention of surrendering. If they continued like this, they would not surrender.

It has been too long. Now it seems that I am attacking Linzi with 80,000 troops. It is more than double the number last time. If I have to spend as much time as before, I will lose face.

.

Just when Xiang Yu was very uncomfortable and walked out of the main tent again to see the situation in Linzi City, suddenly a white flag was set up on the top of the city, and then the closed city gate slowly opened with a creaking sound.

Under the strange gazes of all the Chu soldiers, a man walked out wearing a white robe, with long hair disheveled, and bare feet. He was the King of Qi.

Seeing this strange-looking man, the Chu soldiers were stunned for a moment, but then they realized it and all cheered loudly, because they already knew the message this man came out to convey-Qi State expressed its surrender.

The state of Qi, which had been rebuilt for less than a few years, finally surrendered to Kaicheng under the military might of the Chu people. From then on, the state of Chu completely unified the southeast.

Hearing the shouts of the soldiers, Xiang Yu couldn't help laughing loudly, "I didn't expect that Mr. Fan's strategy really worked. At a small cost of hundreds of soldiers casualties, I finally completely captured Qi!" (To be continued!)
