Hearing what Zhang Liang said, Fusu immediately looked at him. He was worried about having to attack the two strong cities of Jiujiang and Kuaiji. If he could attack one less city, it would be a great thing for the Qin army.

Great good thing: "If Zifang has any clever plan, tell him. This plan of yours may save tens of thousands of soldiers from dying on the battlefield."

Zhang Liangdao: "In fact, from the news coming from Chu, although Xiang Yu has controlled the entire Chu State, there should actually be a lot of people who are enemies of him within the Chu State. Especially the King of Chu, because of the military and horse forces.

Only when Xiang Yu is in the hands of Xiang Yu can he be manipulated by him. But if Xiang Yu loses consecutive battles with our army, his prestige among the Chu people will be greatly reduced, and those who have enmity with him will be greatly reduced.

He will even take this opportunity to do some tricks behind his back. When the time comes that he will be internally unstable, he will no longer be able to defend Jiujiang. He may go out of the city to fight me again in order to restore his prestige in the hearts of the Chu people, thinking

If he wins a battle and puts an end to this rumor, of course he will lead his troops back to Kuaiji to stabilize the foundation first. In this way, we will not have to attack Jiujiang City."

Fusu listened to Zhang Liang's words carefully, and after a while he said: "Zifang is right, this is indeed a good strategy that can prevent the Chu army from defending Jiujiang City. And we don't need any troops, as long as we use these

The news is passed to the spies in Chu area through carrier pigeons, and they can spread it there. By then, the whole Kuaiji will know the news of Xiang Yu's defeat in Surabaya." Since he thought this was a good strategy, Fusu immediately

He called Peng Hong over and asked him to send a message to Chu spies in Kuaiji and other counties, asking them to spread the news of Xiang Yu's defeat. At the same time, he also said some alarmist words. Be sure to let Chu

The local people feel that the threat is huge, which makes them panic. This will also be a good opportunity for those who oppose Xiang Yu.

Fusu and his army continued to march towards Jiujiang. After meeting up with Meng Tian and others there, they mainly besieged Jiujiang City to reduce their own losses and wait for the unrest within the Chu army to occur.

When Fusu led his army to Jiujiang City, news had already spread in Kuaiji County: Xiang Yu led his men and horses to fight the Qin army in Surabaya City. After the battle, not only was Surabaya City captured by the Qin Army, but also that

More than half of the 100,000 Chu troops were killed outside Sishui City. Xiang Yu finally had to take tens of thousands of remnants and fled to Jiujiang City, unable to hold on, but judging from the situation, Jiujiang City might not be able to hold on for a few more days. With this news

There are also some more outrageous rumors in the market, saying that Xiang Yu has already planned to surrender to the Qin people. The reason why he is in Jiujiang now is to negotiate terms with the Qin people. Once the terms are negotiated, he will hand over the Chu army to the Qin people.

In the hands of people... the rumors, which are difficult to distinguish between true and false, spread to everyone in Kuaiji and other places, and the people began to feel uneasy. Even some Chu soldiers who stayed in the city began to believe these rumors.

When Fan Zeng heard this rumor for the first time, he just smiled disdainfully, thinking that it was just something people who had fled from Surabaya spread because they were afraid. However, as there were more and more versions of the rumor, things became more and more complicated.

Seriously, Fan Zeng finally saw that the situation was not good. "Come here, go to the city quickly and check. Where did the news about our army's defeat and Jiujiang's loss come from? I am sure.

These people must be rectified on the spot to calm the hearts of our Chu people." Fan Zeng ordered.

But at this time, no one could figure out who the person who spread the news was. Anyway, the people were spreading these words, and everyone had a look of panic on their faces, as if the Qin people had already arrived at Kuaiji City.

generally.

Seeing that it was impossible to find the originator of the rumors, Fan Zeng had to order his soldiers to spread some news that was beneficial to him in the city. For example, although the Qin army captured the city of Surabaya, they suffered heavy casualties. Although Xiang Yu was defeated and retreated to Jiujiang,

The high and thick walls there are enough to resist the Qin's attack. It is not that simple for the Qin army to attack Kuaiji. But no matter how good he said, the people had already preconceivedly believed what he said before. In addition,

It is also a fact that Surabaya was occupied by the Qin people, which turned his explanation into a cover-up, and the people in the city were still panicked.

Just when the people in Kuaiji were unstable, several people who had not done anything for a long time got together again and began to discuss how to add fire to this chaos and make it even bigger.

They are Zhou Bo, Cao Shen and Xia Houying.

When Liu Bang led his troops out, because of his alliance with Qu Dou and in order to retain his power in Kuaiji City, he did not take these three people with him. As a result, Fan Zeng's sudden attack in Surabaya City only

After killing Liu Bang and Xiao He, Liu Bang's three most loyal people survived. Later, Xiang Yu led his army to Kuaiji and only removed Qu Dou and other people who had been enemies with him, but did not embarrass Zhou Bo and the others.

Several people. Seeing that the situation had become like this, they could only protect themselves first and do what they should do at their posts. As time went by, Xiang Yu and others also moved the three of them.

They had completely forgotten about it and just thought that they had become Chu Chen or Xiang Yu's subordinates wholeheartedly. However, the occurrence of this incident made the three of them feel that an opportunity had finally arrived.

The three of them thought that they were afraid of Xiang Yu's people being suspicious, so they never met in private. However, the contact between the three of them was still constant. Now Zhou Bo proposed to meet, and the other two did not refuse. In one night, the three of them met.

Seen in an ordinary commoner's home in Kuaiji City. This family used to be Liu Bang's subordinates. Only because the male master was injured and could no longer go to the battlefield, Liu Bang settled him here. And this man knew that he could have this day.

Thanks to Liu Bang's support, he has always been loyal to him. After preparing some drinks for the three of them, the male host limped outside to let them have fun.

Zhou Bo poured wine for the other two people and said: "Since Pei Gong was killed by Xiang Yu, the three of us have never met each other in private. Think about it, you and I are really ashamed. As Pei Gong's life and death brothers, when he was killed by Xiang Yu

Not only will I not be able to avenge him, I will also have to work under the enemy's account."

Cao Shen said: "This is also a helpless move. Xiang Yu's status in Chu is too high. The three of us and the soldiers who are loyal to us cannot compete with Xiang Yu. Otherwise, the three of us will not survive."

It’s today.”

Zhou Bo spilled the wine on the ground and said: "This first glass of wine will be dedicated to the spirits of Pei Gong and Lao Xiao. I hope they can help us succeed this time." The other two people also spilled the wine on the ground.

.

After a moment of silence, Xia Houying said: "Zhou Bo, apart from Lao Xiao, you are the most scheming among us. Please tell us what we should do this time."

Zhou Bo poured wine for the three of them again, and then said: "You two must have heard the rumor. Xiang Yu was finally defeated by the Qin people. Although there are some exaggerations in it, we cannot believe it.

But the failure of Xiang Yu, who has never been defeated, is always an indisputable fact. And this gives us an opportunity to disrupt his rear in Kuaiji."

"You mean we start an uprising here? Let there be chaos within the Chu State, so that Xiang Yu in Jiujiang loses his support and is completely defeated by the Qin people?" Cao Shen asked.

"This is too difficult." Xia Houying said, "Since the death of Pei Gong, there have been fewer and fewer people loyal to us. Now we can only use one or two thousand people, but now there are only one or two thousand people loyal to Xiang Yu in Kuaiji."

If the number is far greater than this, if we cause trouble, we will definitely be eliminated by his people."

Zhou Bo shook his head and said: "I had such a plan at the beginning, but later I rejected this method. In fact, we have always forgotten one person. As long as he comes forward, even if there are 100,000 troops in the city, as long as Xiang Yu is not here,

You can make them all obey."

"Who?" Cao Zhen and Xia Houying asked at the same time. The two of them really couldn't imagine such a person.

"That is the King of Chu who has been under house arrest by Xiang Yu. Although he has not issued any edicts for a long time, he is still the king of Chu after all. As soon as he speaks, the people in the city will naturally follow

He, and those soldiers, under such circumstances, will inevitably turn to our side, and then Kuaiji will be in our hands." Zhou Bo said.

When Xia Houying heard this, their eyes lit up. They had indeed learned about the fact that there was a king in the Chu Kingdom. Now after Zhou Bo mentioned it, they remembered that this king of Chu was actually a very useful chess piece. So they all agreed with Zhou Bo's words, and the three of them agreed.

The people then discussed the details, as well as the manpower the three of them could trust and mobilize.

After the three people had discussed everything, the east had already turned white. Looking at the sky that was about to light up, the three people poured the drinks on the ground again: "Pei Gong, Lao Xiao, Lao Fan, we are all together

We fought out of Surabaya, but you were all killed by Xiang Yu. Now we will take advantage of this opportunity to stab Xiang Yu in his heart and let him taste the taste of failure. I hope that the spirits of the three of you in heaven can bless you.

Us." After saying this, the three people prostrated themselves on the ground. The sun shone on the window at this time, and the black shadows of the window lattice cast on the three people kneeling on the ground, making them look mottled.

At this time, Xiang Yu, who was in Jiujiang, also received news from Kuaiji County and knew that there was already trouble there. Xiang Yu looked at the Qin army outside the city, but his mind was full of things about Kuaiji. He didn't know
