Because Xiang Yu made up his mind to fight the Qin army on the plain outside the city, there were only more than 3,000 Chu soldiers left in Sishui City. They thought that even Xiang Yu's 100,000 troops were no match for the Qin people.

, they could have retreated to the city and relied on high and thick walls to resist the Qin army. But the reality was far beyond their expectations and imagination. Battle reports from the front were constantly sent into the city, and the soldiers guarding the city heard one after another.

A piece of bad news, Xiang Yu's army was defeated by the Qin army, and even the retreat route was cut off by the Qin army. Tens of thousands of Chu troops could not retreat back to the city. When they heard the news, all the Chu people in the city were shocked.

Shocked, some people proposed to defend and wait for Xiang Yu to bring his men and horses to rescue. Others proposed to abandon the city and quickly retreat to Jiujiang before the Qin army attacked. That might still have a chance of survival.

Just when the whole city was divided and unable to reach a conclusion, the Qin army, led by Fusu himself, took advantage of the momentum of victory over Xiang Yu and attacked the city of Sishui. The Chu people in the city saw the banner of Qin coming in front of them.

, when tens of thousands of troops appeared under the city, I realized how ridiculous it was to want to defend. Because most of the thousands of soldiers in the city were injured in the battles in the past few days, and their combat effectiveness was very low.

, coupled with the surrender letter sent by the Qin army into the city, the Chu army in the city collapsed without a fight.

Finally, under the initiative of several elderly people in the city, without getting the exact information from Xiang Yu, and under the coercion of the Qin soldiers outside the city who threatened to attack the city in a large scale, the Chu people in the city finally agreed to open the city.

Surrender. Perhaps surrendering to Kaicheng is the best way to protect Hecheng. In this way, after nearly a month of hard fighting and stratagems, plus some luck and Xiang Yu's mistakes, Surabaya, the choke point of the Chu land, ended up like this

Fusu brought people and horses to take it down.

After entering the city, Fusu did not harm any Chu people in the city. He just ordered people to disarm the Chu troops in the city and put them under centralized custody to prevent them from rebelling. Then he went straight to Xiang Yu's temporary residence.

Looking for further plans of the Chu people. However, Fusu searched Xiang Yu's residence and could not find his plan on what to do if Surabaya City fell. Perhaps Xiang Yu had never thought in his mind that he would lose to the Qin army.

.

Helpless, Fusu had to order the entire army to rest in the city first, and then sent scouts to follow the traces of the army led by Meng Tian, ​​Zhang Han and others to find out whether Xiang Yu was really completely defeated by his own army. At the same time,

He also sent soldiers to spread the word in the city that he would not harm the Chu people, so that the people in the city could live their lives with peace of mind. After everything was arranged, Fusu found a clean place to put on his clothes and lie down. But he

Although the person is very tired, there are countless things on his mind that prevent him from falling asleep peacefully.

First, there was the problem of Xiang Yu. Although he had already achieved such a great victory, Fusu still could not take this great figure in history lightly. He was afraid that he would suddenly turn defeat into victory and bring his men and horses to fight back to Sishui City, or retreat safely.

He went to Jiujiang City and built a second line of defense there, so that it would take a lot of effort and time to capture it. Then Fusu thought that even if he could really capture Chu Di, he would still have to completely defeat it.

Conquering the Chu people is not an easy task. Historically, the Chu people had a very strong hatred for the Qin people. But this time they brought their own troops and killed so many of their soldiers. The hatred between the two sides will only become deeper.

. But Fusu also knows that as long as he practices benevolent government and treats the people of Chu well, this hatred will fade with the passage of time, or even disappear eventually. So although this is a big problem, it is not

A particularly thorny issue. The really thorny issue for Fusu is in the north. After the south is pacified, his spearhead will be directed at the Huns on the grassland, which are not as easy to deal with as the Chu people. From the past,

Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Huns have frequently harassed the Central Plains on the borders. That's why the three kingdoms of Yan, Zhao, and Qin built the Great Wall, and Qin Shihuang connected the Great Wall after he unified the world. Looking back, the Huns also harassed the Central Plains.

For hundreds of years in the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty had no way to deal with him. Even a powerful ruler like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty could only ask the generals Wei Qing, Huo Qubing and others to expel them. In the end, they also adopted the most shameful method of marriage.

Fusu would never agree with the method of marriage, so dealing with the Huns became a headache for Yihe. Because they had no fixed abode, and because they were all on horseback, if you couldn't defeat them, just leave them.

He is still very good at it. Thinking that he will face such an enemy next, Fusu's head starts to feel swollen. How can he possibly sleep?

After finally thinking about it, Fusu returned his mind to the present. His first task was to conquer Chu, and Xiang Yu was the key. Without him, the Chu people would lose a core and become a piece of Chu.

Humans were much easier to deal with. Thinking of this, Fusu felt an even more urgent need to know where the men who were chasing Xiang Yu had gone and whether they had really completed their mission. Worrying about gains and losses, Fusu got up from the couch and walked outside.

, looking to the south, that is where Xiang Yu fled. Will they win or lose?

At noon the next day, a horseman galloped towards Surabaya City. The knight on the horse looked very tired. It was obvious that he had been riding for a long time. As soon as he entered the city gate, he loudly shouted: "Emergency military report from the front."

!Urgent military report from the front!" His voice became very hoarse due to exhaustion.

Those Qin soldiers had already received Fusu's order to report the situation of Meng Tian and others to them as soon as possible, so as soon as they saw the scout, they quickly took him to Fusu's subordinates and asked him to face the emperor face to face.

Report.

Although the scout had seen Fusu before, it was just a few glances from a distance in the crowd. Now he was allowed to talk to the emperor face to face. He was very excited. Coupled with the hard work of coming all the way, he felt very excited.

After seeing Fusu, he just opened his mouth but said nothing.

At this time, Fusu calmed down. He smiled and said to the scout: "Don't be anxious, take a rest first, and then tell me the situation."

When the scout saw the emperor talking to him so kindly, the tension in his heart suddenly eased a lot. He licked his chapped lips and said: "Your Majesty, General Zhang led his troops to catch up with the Chu people. Unexpectedly, those Chu people

The soldiers fought very bravely, completely ignoring life and death. They actually defeated General Zhang's 50,000 troops with less than 20,000 remaining soldiers. Then another Chu army came out from nowhere and attacked General Zhang from the side. The 50,000-strong army

...50,000 troops..." At this point, he started to murmur.

"What happened to the 50,000-strong army?" Fusu asked urgently. He had a bad premonition. Could Zhang Han and Xiang Yu, a pair of celebrities in history, be going to have that drama again? And this time the loss was

But it's my own people.

"...the 50,000-strong army was completely wiped out. If General Meng hadn't arrived in time with his troops, General Zhang would have died on the spot. Xiang Yu, on the other hand, led his troops and retreated to Jiujiang. General Meng wanted to treat the injured.

Soldiers, so they couldn't catch up in time, so they had to order their subordinates to come and report to the emperor." The scout said everything in one breath, then knelt down on the ground, waiting for Fusu to get angry.

But what he was waiting for was not Fusu's angry rebuke, but his helpless sigh and a sentence that he couldn't understand: "Is this destiny? Zhang Han has never been Xiang Yu's opponent. No matter what the situation is, he can't escape.

The result of the Battle of Julu? Xiang Yu finally used his last resort and broke the boat." After saying these words unconsciously, Fusu remembered that the scout was still kneeling below, so he said: "

You can go down and have a rest. As a scout, it’s good that you can deliver the news in time.”

The scout saw that Fusu not only did not get angry, but also praised himself a few times. He was very grateful and left after saluting. Fusu stood there and was stunned. Although he could accept Zhang Han's

As a result of being defeated by Xiang Yu, he still couldn't imagine that an army that had already fled and had no fighting spirit would suddenly burst out with powerful force and completely annihilate the enemy army that was chasing him. What did Xiang Yu give these people?

What power did the Chu army have that could make them so brave and fearless of death?

Xiang Yu took the remaining men and horses and joined forces with Xiang's men and horses who came to help him and headed for Jiujiang. He was also full of surprise. Of course, the surprise in his heart was not because his 20,000 remaining soldiers could actually rise up.

In the battle, he was on par with the Qin army, but because he didn't expect that Xiang, who was clearly staying with Fan Zeng in Kuaiji, would bring his troops and appear in time on his only way to retreat to Jiujiang? But now he

I felt that I was shameless to see Xiang Ta and Fan Zeng again, because I had my own way, and because I did not let those two people stay with me so that I could use my troops more freely, that was why there were only so few of the 100,000 Chu troops left.

Centaur.

However, when the army was stationed, Xiang Ta came to Xiang Yu's tent. After meeting him, Xiang Ta said: "The Overlord is indeed the most powerful general of our Chu country. He can actually defeat 20,000 remaining soldiers."

The menacing Qin army of 50,000 will be able to withstand it and be able to annihilate them all, which really impresses my subordinates."

When Xiang Yu first heard him say this, he only thought that he was mocking his own incompetence, causing all the hundred thousand chrysanthemums to be destroyed in the hands of the Qin people, but then he heard that these were Xiang's heartfelt words, and unconsciously
Chapter completed!
