When reports were sent to Kuaiji that there were unrest due to some rumors, Xiang Yu was a little worried, but he still believed in Fan Zeng's ability. He knew that with Fan Zeng here, he would be able to control the situation. After all, the unarmed people could not cause trouble.

A big mess came out. Xiang Yu even began to feel a little lucky for his decision to leave Fan Zeng in Kuaiji in order to fight the Qin people. Otherwise, the situation would not be so optimistic.

But within a few days, new news arrived, and this news really surprised Xiang Yu. Because the news was that Liu Bang's remnants had invaded the palace of the King of Chu and held the King of Chu hostage.

Fan Zeng could not capture the palace no matter what, and the troops left behind in Kuaiji had lost their fighting spirit. Looking at the news sent from the rear, Xiang

Yu's face turned red because of his anger: "It's so unreasonable! Even Liu Bang's remnants dare to do such a thing behind my back. It's really intolerable. What can't be tolerated!" Xiang Yu shouted angrily and put his hands in his hands.

The silk book he took was torn into pieces, and then he said: "I will now order all the troops to go back to Kuaiji and kill all the rebels!"

Xiang Ta took a step forward and said: "Overlord, please calm down first. Have you forgotten that our real enemy is the Qin people outside the city?"

"Qin people..." After Xiang Yujing was reminded by him, he suddenly remembered that he was in Jiujiang City to resist the Qin people's attack. Then he restrained his anger and asked, "Then what do you think we should do? Is it just a matter of holding on?

Do you want to ignore the crisis in Kuaiji?" He said and looked at Xiang Tao.

Xiang frowned and thought for a long time before saying: "Why don't we wait a little longer? Maybe Mr. Fan can solve these rebellions, so we don't need to take action."

Xiang Yu asked: "What if Mr. Fan is defeated? In this case, Kuaiji will fall into the hands of those rebellious people. Once our foundation is lost, the soldiers guarding the city will definitely lose their fighting spirit. Once the Qin people attack the city in a large scale, this will

Jiujiang County can no longer defend it."

Xiang Tao said with a bitter smile on his face: "But if we rush to Kuaiji with our troops, the Qin army will definitely attack the city, and then send a large army to chase us. When the city is gone, what will happen to our small number of troops?"

Several times the Qin army's opponents? Before our army can reach Kuaiji, tens of thousands of people in the city will be killed by the Qin people's swords."

When Xiang Yu heard what he said, he felt that what he said was reasonable, and he became torn for a moment, not knowing what to do. "Then what do we do? It doesn't matter whether we go to support now, and it doesn't matter if we don't go.

If this continues, when all the officers and men in the city know the news, the morale of the army will inevitably be in chaos, which will give the Qin people an opportunity to take advantage of it." Xiang Yu said with a bit of confusion.

Xiang He knew that what he just said was not a good idea to wait here. Firstly, the soldiers would soon know the news there, and then the situation would be even worse. Secondly, he also knew Xiang Yu's character. This kind of situation is called

It was unrealistic for him to wait and see what would happen. So Xiang Xiang began to think about how to rush to Kuaiji without letting the Qin people notice it. Finally he thought of a way: "If the overlord wants to lead his troops back, it is not impossible."

, but there are certain risks, and you have to go back quickly."

Upon hearing that Xiang He had a solution, Xiang Yu was cheered up and said hurriedly: "You can tell me what solution you want. As long as it can solve the current predicament, I will definitely do it."

Xiang Ta said: "We will now order the soldiers to take out all the flags and plant them all over the city, so that the Qin people will think that we are waiting for them. Then the overlord will leave ten thousand people to guard the city, while you and the other troops rush to Kuaiji at night.

When the Qin people saw our army's rigorous defense outside the city, they would not have thought that most of our army was no longer in the city. If the Overlord could put down the rebellion as soon as possible and return, the Qin people might not even know that we have been to Kuaiji."

Xiang Yu thought for a while and then said: "The method you proposed is feasible, but who will give the important task of guarding Jiujiang?"

Xiang Tao cupped his hands and said: "Since I proposed this method, leave the task of defending the city to me. As long as I have one soldier in Jiujiang City, I, Xiang Tao, can guarantee that it will not fall into the hands of the Qin people."

superior."

Xiang Yu was right when he thought about it. Among all the people here, Xiang was the only one who could stand alone. When he thought of the word "standing alone", Xiang Yu couldn't help but think of another general - Long Qie. "I was eager to withdraw my troops during the melee that day, so he and Zhong

The army was all left under the sword of the Qin people. Presumably he has...

Xiang Yu regretted thinking of this, but then his mind returned to the important matter at hand: "Since you said so, I will hand over Jiujiang to you. In addition, I will leave Xiangzhuang to help you. As long as

If you can hold Jiujiang for eight days, I will definitely come back with my troops."

Xiang Yu cupped his hands and said: "The last general will definitely defend this city, please rest assured, Overlord!" Xiang Zhuang on the side also repeated his words. Seeing the two men expressing their determination, Xiang Yu felt relieved and began to select among the troops.

He gathered a group of people to stay behind, and then asked the others to prepare, and when it got dark, they quietly left the city with him to quell the rebellion in Kuaiji.

Xiang Yu and others thought that all this had been carefully calculated and taken care of, but their understanding of the Qin people was far from enough. They never even dreamed that Fusu would use the methods that had not yet appeared in this era.

They used the ancient method of flying pigeons to convey messages, so they just assumed that the people of Qin did not know the situation in Kuaiji.

But the fact is that when the scout who came to Jiujiang day and night entered the city, a carrier pigeon had already flown into the Qin army camp. That was because the spies in Chu knew the news a few days late, otherwise Qin would have

People are afraid that they will know the news about Kuaiji earlier than Xiang Yu.

When Fusu read the silk book, his face turned a little red. Of course, this was not because of anger, but because of joy. He handed the silk book into the hands of Meng Tian beside him and said: "Unexpectedly, our strategy relies on Liu Bang's old troops.

And it succeeded. Now not only is Kuaiji in chaos because of their uprising, but even their King of Chu is controlled by these people, making the situation even more chaotic."

After reading the letter, all the courtiers below raised their hands and said, "Your Majesty, the time has come for us to defeat the Chu people."

Han Xin said: "As long as the Chu army guarding the city knows about this, they will definitely lose their faith in holding on. When we attack the city in a big way, the Chu army will not be able to stop us."

Zhang Han also said: "The guilty general is willing to be the vanguard. If we don't take down Jiujiang City this time, the head of the last general will be handed over to the emperor."

Fusu saw that everyone had great confidence in attacking Jiujiang because of this news, and he was very happy. However, he found that Zhang Liang was the only one who did not speak, so he asked: "Does Zifang have any other opinions?"

?”

Zhang Liang said calmly: "This is indeed a good opportunity for us to destroy Chu, but Yichen thinks that Xiang Yu and others will not just sit back and watch their failure. They will definitely take some measures to solve the current crisis. And Xiang Yu

Bringing an army back to Kuaiji to quell the rebellion is the most likely measure."

Han Xin said in confusion: "So what? If Xiang Yu leads his troops and leaves, wouldn't it be very beneficial for us to attack Jiujiang? Without Xiang Yu and some of his troops, how can the Chu army resist the attack of our Qin army?"

Zhang Liangdao: "I think this is right, but your Majesty, please don't forget that our goal is not to take Jiujiang but to take back the Chu land. Now I am only worried that once Xiang Yu returns to Kuaiji and puts down the rebellion,

It’s a bit difficult for us to capture Kuaiji.”

Fusu thought about it and said, "Then what should we do based on the view of the ovary?"

"In my opinion, we can use a two-pronged approach this time. As soon as we get the exact news that Xiang Yu has left the city, one army will besiege Jiujiang to prevent him from leaving the city to help Xiang Yu. The other army will catch up with Xiang Yu's troops and capture them in the wild.

He will either kill or capture."

Fusu became interested as soon as he heard this: "This is a good way. It can indeed be solved once and for all. But it is impossible for us to know Xiang Yu's whereabouts. There are no spies from our Qin people in this city, otherwise we would know it as soon as he moves.

.”

Zhang Liang said with confidence: "Your Majesty, you can rest assured. I think the news brought by the Chu people from Kuaiji should have arrived. Seeing this situation, Xiang Yu will definitely not be able to sit still. He will definitely take action. Once the city is mobilized

People and horses, our people watching outside will definitely notice the changes. When the emperor gives the order, we can defeat the Chu army."

Han Xin hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Zhang, how can you be sure that Xiang Yu must have led his troops back in person? If he only sent a general to suppress the rebellion, wouldn't it be redundant for us to disperse our troops?

"

Zhang Liangdao: "Actually, this is not difficult to judge at all. Judging from the character of Xiang Yu that we are familiar with, he will definitely not take advantage of others when encountering these rebels. Moreover, those people also control the King of Chu, and only Xiang Yu can lead them personally."

Only when the soldiers go forward can the soldiers use their lives. Otherwise, those Chu soldiers may turn against each other under the persuasion of the King of Chu."

Fusu nodded and said: "What Zifang said is true. I have decided to do as he said. Han Xin, you and Zhang Han will lead 50,000 troops to surround Jiujiang City. Meng Tian, ​​you and I will send troops to pursue Xiang Yu. Once

As soon as the accurate news comes, we will send out the army at the same time." When all the ministers and generals saw that Fusu had issued an order, they all followed the order and left.

Not long after, soldiers suddenly came to report: "Flags were suddenly planted all over Jiujiang City, and many Chu troops went to the city. I don't know what the purpose was."

Zhang Liang was overjoyed when he heard this. He knew that his idea was indeed right, so he said to Fusu: "Your Majesty, to cover up the situation, the Chu people are about to move their troops away from Jiujiang. Today is the time when Xiang Yu takes his people back to Kuaiji.
