Chapter 81 Qin Chu goes to war

The people who came to the Xiang Mansion to attend the banquet today were all prominent figures in the Chu Dynasty. Of course, Liu Bang, Song Yi and Qu Dou were missing among them, but even so, they were all in one place. I heard that the Qin people actually led one hundred thousand people to the front.

Come to crusade, everyone's reaction is different.

Some of them turned out to be the old ministers of Chu when the country was overthrown. Their faces were full of fear, because they had all seen the fighting power and ferocity of the Qin soldiers before. Of course, these people were only a few after all, and most of them were already very old.

There was not much power in the court, so they only showed fear without saying anything.

Most of them were worried. After all, they had often heard how powerful the Qin people were, but they had never really seen the Qin army when they destroyed the Six Kingdoms. So although they were worried, they did not lose their courage. It was just temporary.

I heard that a hundred thousand troops were at a loss. So these people started whispering among themselves below, not knowing how to express their opinions.

Xiang Yu, however, did not pay attention to the attacking Qin people at all. When he heard this, he stood up suddenly from his seat and said loudly: "Well done, I was just about to pay tribute to the Qin people who died decades ago."

We, the martyrs of Chu, were in the hands of others to avenge us, but unexpectedly they came to our door! Uncle, we will go to the palace immediately and ask the king to issue an order for me to lead the troops to fight the Qin people!" His eyes were full of desire as he spoke.

Fusu admired Xiang Yu for not being afraid of the Qin army, but he didn't think that the current Chu state could fight the Qin army. After all, Qin's vigor was still there, even though there was a traitor like Zhao Gao in the court.

After all, the eunuch was not as weak as when he was in power. So he looked at Xiang Liang, who was sitting on the throne, to see how he performed.

When Xiang Liang heard the news, he was neither afraid and uneasy like some people, nor was he inexplicably excited like Xiang Yu. Instead, he calmly moved the wine glass he was passing to his lips and slowly drank it all.

, then looked at everyone's expressions and said to Xiang Yu: "In front of so many ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, how can you speak, sit down!" The words were full of majesty, which immediately suppressed the already very noisy scene.

Go down.

Xiang Yu was filled with resentment when he saw his uncle talking about him like that. But after all, his uncle was the general of Chu State now, so he didn't have much to say. He had to sit back on the table, angrily picked up the jug and drank the wine directly.

Pour it into your mouth.

Xiang Liang saw that everyone had stopped talking, so he looked around and said: "Now is a critical moment for our country. I hope everyone can unite as one and do what they should do. Only in this way can we have a better future."

The Qin people who invaded were repulsed." He continued, "Since there is an enemy attacking today, let's end the banquet here. I hope you will work together to fight against the powerful enemy." After that, he stood up and faced everyone.

He handed over his hand as a thank you.

The guests knew that it was time for them to go back, so they all left one after another, and there were not many people left in the lobby. Fusu did not leave with the guests, because he also wanted to ask if Xiang Liang was there.

How to defeat the enemy. After hearing that the Qin people were attacking Chu, he felt that this was an opportunity to attack Hu Hai's Qin army. It was in his best interest to attack the enemy without losing his troops in Shangjun.

Moreover, the consumption of the Chu people was also good news for him. While he was still thinking about this, Xiang Liang had already arrived in front of him: "Master Zhou, it seems that you have to rush back to Jiujiang County immediately this time. This general will not

Sent with my eyes."

Fusu knew that because the Chu people's current military strength was limited, Liu Bang's subordinates were still guarding Liu Bang's original territories such as Dang County, but their loyalty was still not enough, so Jiujiang County now became a barrier to Kuaiji.

Xiang Liang obviously looked down upon him, so he nodded and agreed: "Don't worry, general, I will definitely help Prefect Yu to guard Jiujiang County until General Xiang comes with his troops." After saying this, he handed over his hand and left.

Already.

It wasn't until Xiang Yu's two uncles and nephews were the only ones left in the lobby that Xiang Yu said with an unhappy look on his face: "Uncle, you are too disrespectful to Yu'er. After all, I am also a former general now. How can I be speechless?"

Xiang Liang patted Xiang Yu's shoulder with his hand and said: "It's not that I don't give you face, uncle, but haven't you noticed that everyone present is very afraid of the Qin people? How can you do it with only a moment of blood?"

How can you convince them? Moreover, this time the Qin people came to work with a hundred thousand troops. 6 We, Da Chu, are going to fight a protracted war. If you shout out loudly, Qu Dou and others want to see you fail.

At the meeting, the king asked you to lead the army alone to fight the Qin people. If you can't win by then, I'm afraid the reputation you just gained will be in vain. So I have to stop you first, and then I can think about how to deal with it in the long term.

Qin Jun, do you understand now?"

"But how can uncle be sure that our Chu army is not the opponent of Qin army? My nephew still can't figure it out." Xiang Yu still refused to agree with Xiang Liang.

Xiang Liang smiled and said: "When the battle starts, you will know where the gap between our Chu army and Qin army is. Now we can only defend the city, and it is not the time for a decisive battle with the Qin army. You haven't seen the Zhao people."

How did Zhang Chu and Chen Sheng get defeated again and again by the Qin people? As the saying goes, there are lessons to be learned from the past."

While the two uncles and nephews were still discussing the strength of the Qin and Chu armies, Fusu had already rushed back to the post and immediately ordered the soldiers to take care of themselves and return to Jiujiang.

"Mr. Zhou, didn't you say you were going to stay here for a while, why are you in a hurry to leave now?" Yu Ziyan, the master and servant, obviously hadn't had enough fun yet, and were very puzzled by Fusu's behavior.

"The people of Qin have led a large army to attack Chu. We must go back quickly so that we can help the prefect prepare." Fusu dropped these words and went to urge the soldiers again.

The two women became anxious upon hearing this, and Yu Ziyan began to urge Qing Ming to prepare all her belongings so that she could rush back to Jiujiang as soon as possible.

People throughout Kuaiji County began to get busy. People from several other counties were busy going back to make preparations. Kuaiji officials were busy preparing food, grass and baggage, and the generals were busy gathering soldiers, ready to rush to the front line at any time.

The common people began to be busy thinking about what they would do if the Qin people came, whether to stay here or flee further away. For a time, people in Kuaiji were panicked, and a tense atmosphere filled the court and the people.

Fusu was quite fast. Two hours later, he led hundreds of people to leave Kuaiji and rush to Jiujiang. This time, he was faster than when he came. It was almost non-stop. The two women were also exhausted.

unbearable.

The Qin people's march was exactly as Xiang Liang said. Since Zhang Han and Bai Ban led their troops to win consecutive battles a few days ago, the territory that was originally Zhang Chu and Zhao's territory has become Qin's territory, allowing them to march

The speed was much faster, and soon they arrived at Hanoi County. After all, Baiban was also a general who had been in war for a long time, so his deployment was very accurate. After arriving at Hanoi County, he was not in a hurry to attack Dang County, but sent troops first.

Dongjun and Chenjun, then together with the troops from the two counties and their own troops in Hanoi, attacked Dangjun at the same time. This time they were besieged on three sides, but in just three days, Dangjun changed hands and became the territory of the Qin State.

Then he ordered Zhao Changke to lead 50,000 troops to attack Jiujiang County through Chen County, while he led other troops from Dang County to Sishui County, in order to prevent the two counties from supporting each other.

Sishui County has still been guarded by Liu Bang's generals since Liu Bang surrendered to Chu. However, they still have a grudge in their hearts about Xiang Liang and others killing his brother Fan Kuai, but they did not dare to open the city and surrender to the Qin army.

Firstly, the Qin people are the biggest enemies of these rebels after all. Everyone knows that if they surrender, they will end up dead like Chen Sheng. Secondly, their lord Liu Bang is still with Xiang Liang after all. If it is because of his

It would be bad if Liu Bang was angered and killed due to surrender, so they decided to resist for a while and then abandon the city to preserve their strength.

Of course, the day shift didn't know what these people were thinking, so he launched a fierce attack on Sishui County with 50,000 troops. All of a sudden, the people in the city shouted to kill Zhentian. If you use the ladder, I will use the stone. If you attack the city gate, I will use it.

Bows and crossbows. After persisting for five days, the defender of Surabaya suddenly led his troops to break through the city. This was beyond Bai Shi's expectation. The Qin army did not put up a posture to prevent the enemy from breaking through. In the end, they could only watch the defenders.

The city's sergeants went to Donghai County, and they occupied Sishui County.

After entering the city, two voices emerged among the day shift army. One was to continue heading northeast and capture Donghai County before the defeated troops could gain a firm foothold and unite with the defenders of Donghai County. The other plan was to

Support Zhao Changke's troops who are attacking Jiujiang County. Just when the day squad was hesitant, Zhao Changke sent someone to send a letter asking for help. He had been unable to attack Jiujiang City for a long time and was about to be counterattacked. After careful consideration, the day squad decided to support

Zhao Changke left only five thousand troops to guard Surabaya.

While the day shift was going east to win consecutive victories, Fusu had already returned to Jiujiang City. Yu Fulong had also heard the news about the Qin people's attack, and had no time to mention the departure of his niece. He discussed it with Fusu after he came back.

How to protect Jiujiang City.

Fusu naturally would not use the tactics he used to defend Shangjun to defend Jiujiang, but after all, he had thousands of years more knowledge than these ancients, and he knew some of the methods of famous battles in history, so he relied on

With this in mind, he helped Jiujiang City block several attacks by the Qin people, making Zhao Changke unable to attack repeatedly. Eventually, the morale of the army was greatly reduced. The generals in Jiujiang City even led their troops out of the city and defeated them several times. This led Zhao Changke to write to

Day shift calls for help.
