Liu Bang returned to the back house full of trepidation. Seeing him looking troubled, a beautiful woman asked: "Pei Gong now has three counties, why is he still frowning?" She was very beautiful,

But there was a murderous look between her eyebrows that diluted her natural beauty. She was none other than Liu Bang's wife, Lu Fei.

Liu Bang sighed and said: "Madam, you don't know something. Now the people from Chu are coming to my Sishui County. How can I be happy?" As he said this, he picked up a jar of wine and poured a full amount into the jue.

One drink, one drink.

"It turns out it's for war, so you can rest assured, Duke Pei." Lu Zhi said with a relaxed smile, "The Chu people are not going to kill us completely. We can fight a few battles with them first."

"What do you mean by this, madam?" Liu Bang put the jar that was pouring wine into the prince back on the table and raised his head and asked.

"Don't forget that our biggest enemies are all the Qin people now. I also heard that you refused the Chu people's surrender, which is why they raised troops to attack. We only need to open the city and surrender when the city is really about to fall.

Yes, Xiang Liang and others will not be disadvantageous to us in order to set an example for other rebels. So we can fight with them first. If we win, everything will be fine. If we lose, it will just be to them.

The Chu people just surrendered, so Pei Gong does not need to worry." Lu Pheasant said with confidence.

After listening to her words, Liu Bang put the wine cup in his hand on the table, nodded repeatedly and said: "Madam's analysis is not unreasonable. It seems that we are taking the initiative, so I feel relieved." He said with satisfaction.

A glass of wine was served.

Lu Pheasant looked at him strangely: "How did you know we were safe and still drink?"

"Haha, just now I was drinking because I was worried, but now I am drinking because I am happy. The two are completely different." Liu Bang laughed and poured another bottle of wine into his mouth.

Lu Pheasant rolled his eyes at him angrily: "I know you just find excuses to drink. Hey, why did I marry a husband like you?"

"Haha, if you don't marry me, who will you marry? I am the only one who can tolerate you giving me advice." Liu Bang's complaints about his wife were completely inappropriate.

Lu Pheasant walked up to him and snatched the wine baron with his hands and said: "Today I will make you regret marrying me." With that, he pushed Liu Bang down. Just as the two were about to have fun, Xiao He's voice came from outside.

Voice: "Pei Gong! Pei Gong!"

The two hurriedly sat upright and straightened their clothes completely. Lu Pheasant stood next to Liu Bang, and then Xiao He walked in. As soon as he came in, he said to Liu Bang: "Pei Gong, I have come up with another plan, so I specially

Come and report."

"What's the plan to retreat the Chu army immediately?" Liu Bang immediately became energetic when he heard the plan. He pointed to the seat next to him and said, "Old Xiao, sit down and speak slowly."

Xiao He and Liu Bang have been old friends for many years, so even though they are different now, they are very casual. They are also very familiar with Lu Pheasant, so they don't take it seriously. He knelt down on the table and said: "Although our army is not as brave as Chu's army,

But our army has a few points, we can mobilize the troops from Donghai County and Dang County, and attack from three sides, then the Chu army will naturally not be our opponent."

"Why didn't I think of this? Immediately order people to go out of the city and ask for help from Lao Fan from Dangjun and Lao Zhou from Donghai." When Liu Bang heard this, he jumped up from his seat and said.

"Don't worry, Mr. Pei, I have already ordered people to deliver messages to these two places. Now all we need to do is to hold on to Surabaya, and when reinforcements arrive, we can drive the Chu people away from this place." Xiao He also said with confidence.

At this time, Xiang Liang's army had arrived ten miles away from Surabaya. He ordered the army to stay first and wait until dawn the next day to launch an attack on Surabaya. Fusu, however, did not enter his camp, but ran to find Han Xin. During this period of march,

On the days when he had free time, he went to Han Xin to talk about military tactics, which benefited him a lot. After Han Xin was busy with what he should do as a soldier, the two found a secluded place to put a jar of wine and

Chatted.

"Brother Han, do you think our Chu army has a chance of winning this time when the army goes to Surabaya?" Fusu asked as he poured wine for both of them.

Han Xin picked up the wine glass and took a sip and said: "If it were just Surabaya, I would definitely be able to capture Da Chu. But now Liu Bang has the land of East China Sea, Surabaya and Dangjun. If our entire army launches an attack on Surabaya, I'm afraid we won't be able to capture it."

When their reinforcements arrive, they will catch us off guard, but if we preserve our strength and attack the city, we may not be able to capture Surabaya, so I am not optimistic about the Chu army's siege." Now the two have become friends, so Han Xin also has some ideas.

Just say it without hiding your thoughts.

Fusu was stunned after hearing what he said. He didn't expect that Liu Bang had two groups of people not far from Surabaya. It seemed that this expedition was indeed a bit ill-advised, so he asked: "Is there any way to do this?"

Cracked?"

"In my opinion, there are two ways now. One is to lead the troops back, but this will inevitably greatly damage the morale of our army, and it is a step that cannot be taken until the last step; the other is to launch a large-scale attack on Surabaya with a large number of troops. It must be

Capture Surabaya before they arrive with reinforcements, but this is very uncertain. So I still focus on retreating, so that I can at least preserve the strength of our army." Han Xin said and took another sip of wine.

After hearing what he said, Fusu stared blankly at the wine in his hand without making a sound. Han Xin asked a little strangely: "Zhou Changshi, what are you doing?"

Fusu actually thought of a way, but he couldn't make up his mind whether he should help the Chu army to deal with Liu Bang. In his opinion, the more chaotic the Chu country's old land was, the more beneficial it would be to him, but he also thought that Xiang Liang was not bad for him.

, and he couldn't bear to see them defeated, so he fell into deep thought for a while.

Seeing that Fusu ignored him, Han Xin was keenly aware that Fusu had thought of a way to solve the current problem, so he asked loudly: "Has Mr. Zhou thought of any good way to solve the current predicament?"

Fusu was interrupted by his words. He raised his head and nodded unconsciously: "Yes!" He regretted it as soon as he said the words, but since this was the case, he simply said it: "Actually, we are completely overwhelmed by Surabaya.

This goal fascinated me. In fact, from another perspective, our goal is to defeat Liu Bang rather than capture Surabaya. Therefore, we can deploy heavy troops on the only way for reinforcements. As long as they are removed, Dang County and Donghai County will become

We have everything in our bag. By then, only one county of Surabaya will be left, and Liu Bang will be defeated if he is not defeated." Fusu's idea was to learn from our own army's habit of encircling a point to reinforce the enemy. Now,

He then thought of surrounding Surabaya and attacking reinforcements from the other two counties.

After hearing what he said, Han Xin's eyes lit up: "This is indeed a good strategy. Lord Zhou, please talk to General Xiang quickly, otherwise tomorrow he will order an army to attack the city and the casualties of our Chu army will increase."

Fusu hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement. He originally wanted to give this credit to Han Xin, but he thought that if he showed up now, he might be reused by Xiang Liang, and then he wanted to take him for his own use.

His wishful thinking could no longer be realized, so he no longer shied away.

When Fusu came outside Xiang Liang's tent, he was preparing to rest. When he heard that Zhou Wei wanted to see him for something, Xiang Liang hurriedly walked out and said, "Did Mr. Zhou think of any way to break the city?"

Asking, Bian welcomed Fusu into the tent.

The coach's big tent is naturally much better than ordinary people's tents. It not only has a couch, but also several seats and a small table. There is also a small jar of wine on the table. Xiang Liang asked Fusu to sit down.

Finally, he filled a glass of wine for himself and the other party, and then asked the question again. Fusu said with a smile: "I didn't think of a way to destroy the city, I just thought of a situation that is very unfavorable to our army."

As he spoke, he stated the questions that came to his mind exactly.

Xiang Liang's expression changed when he heard this. He had indeed ignored the military strength of Liu Bang's other counties. He stood up from the stage and walked back and forth twice. Then he came to Fusu and said, "Master, since

If you see the problem, there must be a solution." His tone was full of expectation.

Fusu smiled and said, "I wonder if the general can do anything?"

Xiang Liang smiled bitterly and said: "I think there is only one way to attack by force, and the other is to retreat, but both methods are extremely detrimental to me."

Fusu saw that he couldn't think of any good method, so he told him his method of siege and reinforcements. When Xiang Liang heard this, he slapped his servants and said, "What a good idea. This can greatly weaken Liu Bang."

The strength is great, and the loss of our army will not be too great. It seems that the young master is indeed a man of far-reaching wisdom."

Fusu said a few words of humility and left Xiang Liang's camp. He didn't know what impact his helping the Chu people would have on the situation here.

The next day, Liu Bang, surrounded by Xia Houying and others, arrived at the top of the city of Surabaya, but did not see the Chu army attacking him. They just surrounded the army around Surabaya, completely isolating Surabaya from the outside world.

"What do they want to do? Why don't they attack us while our morale is at its peak?" Liu Bang asked, looking at the strange behavior of the Chu people outside the city.

Xiao He looked at the situation outside and said: "It seems that they have seen through our intentions. Instead of attacking the city rashly, they want to deal with Zhou Bo and Fan Kuai's reinforcements."

"What should we do?" Liu Bang asked in shock when he heard that his strategy was revealed by the enemy.

"Can we lead our troops out to fight them?" Xia Houying said eagerly.

"No, we are not sure of their real thoughts yet. If the Chu people just want to lure us out so that they can annihilate us, wouldn't that be playing into their own hands?" Xiao He hurriedly stopped Xia Houying.

"But it's very disadvantageous for us to spend so much time." Liu Bang said worriedly.
