Nearly 100,000 Chu troops arrived at Wujiang day and night. Because the team was too fast, the front and back queues were opened for more than ten miles, and a large number of soldiers were separated.

Xiang Yu ordered the Chu army vanguard who arrived in Wujiang to search downstream for all the large and small ships that could be found. He also sent a small group of troops to cross the river and notify the county magistrates of Kuaiji County opposite the river to collect ships to meet the army. The rest of the soldiers rested on the spot and gathered the separated troops.

...

In the southwest of Chengfu, Liu Bang was mainly engaged in the central army's tent. Zhang Liang, Chen Ping and Liu Bang gathered together.

"Xiang Yu finally got news, and he ran to this - Yinling." Liu Bang said as he inserted a small flag on the sand table.

Zhang Liang looked at the map carefully, frowned and said, "It seems that Xiang Yu has no intention of regaining Shouchun."

"Then why did he run here?" Liu Bang asked.

"He wants to cross the river and go back to Jiangdong."

Liu Bang smiled and said, "The entire Jiangdong county has a population of hundreds of thousands. I have made various plans for Xiang Yu's next move, and this is the one I don't worry about the least."

Zhang Liang responded: "The king and his subordinates have similar views. If Xiang Yu runs back to Jiangdong, even if we cannot wipe it out in a short time, he can only be trapped in the southeast corner like Minyue and South Yue, and is unable to compete for the Central Plains."

At this time, Chen Ping, who had not made a sound, said slowly: "Never mind, don't forget that he still brought 100,000 soldiers. Even if he didn't have these 100,000 soldiers, with his military ability, he would be a problem for our great man in the future."

Zhang Liang smiled and said, "This is naturally. Keeping him is a disaster after all. I just made the worst plan just now."

Liu Bang suddenly said loudly: "This person is a thorn in the flesh. Even if he does not have a soldier, as long as he is alive, I cannot sleep well and eat well. He must be completely killed!" After a slower tone, he asked Zhang Liang again: "Then how should we wipe him out?"

Zhang Liang inserted the small flags into the sand table one by one, and said, "Let Han Xin's 300,000 Qi troops go south to the bank of the river, east to Yinling. On the other side of Moling, Liu Jia returns to Shouchun and meet Zhou Yin. The 50,000 army advances east to the bank of the river, west to Yinling. The 50,000 army of Guanying's troops advance east to Guangling, and then crosses the river to sweep Jiangdong. Our army headquarters meets the Peng Yue troops, who then arrives, then attacks Yinling. Finally, Yingbu returns to Jiujiang and then advances east to attack Jiangdong with Guanying. In this way, Xiang Yu will still be unable to escape and die in the future battle of Yinling."

Liu Bang clapped his hands and laughed: "Miao, Miao, there is a god of uterus, but Xiang Yu still can't escape the net of heaven and earth. In terms of strategy, Han Xin cannot compare with uterus."

Zhang Liang pondered for a moment and continued: "Although this new strategy is similar to the previous plan to annihilate Xiang Yu in Huaibei, various external conditions have changed greatly. The biggest difficulty is the problem of food and grass. In the south of Yinling and even in Jiangdong, the front line was extended by six or seven hundred miles. Whether transporting grain from Ao Cang or from Qi land, the journey was long. The land of Western Chu and Huai Si was already scorched earth, and nine out of ten rooms were empty, so there would definitely be no food."

Liu Bang stroked his beard and said, "You can let Guan Ying and Ying Bu learn from Peng Yue and go to Jiangdong to plunder to increase the food and grass of our army. In addition, let Ying Bu mobilize food from Jiujiang Country."

Zhang Liang took a deep breath and said, "The army of seventy or eight hundred thousand is not a small amount of food and grass consumed every day. These two methods alone are not a long-term solution, so it is necessary to fight quickly."

Seeing that the other two were finished speaking, Chen Ping spoke. Although he was planning things with Zhang Liang, he had different directions for providing Liu Bang with advice. Zhang Liang mainly offered advice for Liu Bang in strategic terms.

His main attack direction is to use it to "think about others". To put it bluntly, he plans for Liu Bang's "intrigue" with others.

At this time, Chen Ping said: "King, except Xiang Yu, we cannot forget others. Reclaim Han Xin's military power and weaken Peng Yue, and Ying Bu's power should also be mentioned on the agenda. The subordinates believe that no matter what the outcome of this battle, as long as Xiang Yu is expelled from the Central Plains, even if he is not dead and is content in a corner of the south of the Yangtze River, the king can reclaim Han Xin's military power. The truth is obvious... "

Liu Bang interrupted him with a smile and said, "I understand the meaning of sir. I have already made up my mind."

...

Inside Han Xin’s camp at Gaixia.

Han Xin, who had just received Liu Bang Tong's order, looked blankly at the map hanging in the big tent. The Qi army still had to march southeast for nearly 400 miles to reach the edge of the river.

However, at this time, Han Xin did not think about the issue of the war, but thought about a call from Kuai Tong, a counselor under the tent, a few months ago.

"Now, the power of Master Zhen is the master of his own, and he will not reward him. If you return to Chu, the people of Chu do not believe him. If you return to Han, the people of Han are afraid: If you want to hold on to him, how can you return?"

This means that he is going to do it alone, otherwise he will have a good ending. With his IQ, how could he not understand this truth? But IQ depends on IQ, and one's personality determines his destiny. Han Xin is a person who is not sure of not taking risks. This is true when fighting and being a human being, otherwise he would not have been humiliated by the crotch back then.

Because the probability of being able to escape after maintaining dignity is too small, it is so difficult for someone to get out of the crotch.

The same is true now. If you become king alone or even win the world, which man can not dream if he has the conditions? Han Xin is of course no exception. But if he loses, everything he gets, along with his own wealth and life, will be shattered. On the contrary, if he is loyal to Liu Bang, how likely is he to be cooked by a dog who dies in the rabbit? How big is the difference between being a founding noble and becoming a king or even winning the world?

These benefits and risks are comparatively assessing the benefits and risks, which constantly tormented him. It is because of these that, like Peng Yue, he remained silent when Liu Bang asked him to send troops.

Then he learned the actual information on the Chu-Han battlefield through various channels, and with his military talent, he immediately analyzed that Xiang Yu was already in danger. He could not change the result without sending troops, which would only affect the result at most. At this moment, Liu Bang unexpectedly named himself the True King of Qi. What else do you think? Just show yourself on the battlefield.

However, when the 300,000 Qi army arrived on the battlefield, the situation changed again. Xiang Yu didn't know whether it was the luck of the collision or the fact that he noticed something in advance. He actually broke away from Liu Bang's pursuit within a few days, jumped out of the strategic encirclement formed by the 700,000 army, and completely took away about 100,000 troops. The world, which had almost been determined, had a subtle change.

Han Xin, who was watching the map, suddenly thought of something, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Because he found that according to Zhang Liang's strategy, any slight inconsistency between any of the parties would cause huge variables.

"I am the king's order, and the entire army set out to advance towards Moling." Han Xin ordered the scout outside the reconciliation order.

"promise"

"Wait, we ask all units of the army to be alert when advancing. When encountering forests, mountains, and zes, we must carefully investigate and search, and only after confirming that there is no enemy ambush can we pass." Han Xin added another meaningful sentence.

Han Xin led the Qi army to move slowly towards the river bank opposite Moling, two steps and three steps.

...

Jiujiang Army Central Army Camp.

Ying Bu threw Liu Bang's orders on the table and cursed: "You want me to pay for food? You can open your mouth for 700,000 or 800,000 yuan, and you can eat nothing left in a few days." Then he ordered helplessly:
Chapter completed!
