Chapter One

Fifty miles west of Shouchun City, the central tent of the Han army camp.

The three-man group of Han generals in the tent gathered together, sanitation warriors, Liu Bang, Han Xin and Zhang Liang was holding the largest pre-war meeting. They attacked Shouchun City for many days in a row, but Shouchun was like a stubborn and hard stone under Xiang Fei's defence. No matter how the Han army bit it, they could not pry its door open. Liu Bang even made such a vicious sentence: "One day, if Shouchun is broken, Xiang Fei will be dismembered and the whole city will be washed away by blood."

"Everyone, according to the report of the Ma Lai, Xiang Yu had already brought 130,000 troops to Shouchun, but the Chu reinforcements did not enter the city, but camped in the south of the city and formed a horn with Xiang Fei in the city. When the Chu army arrived, our army tried to surround Shouchun again, but was afraid of being attacked inside and outside. Therefore, the general had just ordered people to withdraw the siege and gather all their troops west of Shouchun, preparing to fight with Xiang Yu at this Shouchun city. I wonder if you have any good plans to defeat the enemy?" Han Xin presided over the military affairs, so he spoke first.

"The King of Han, General, and the Chu army totaled 230,000, and our army totaled 250,000. As the saying goes, the power is equal, but Xiang Yu is brave and extremely capable of fighting. Therefore, the last general thinks that when fighting with the Chu army, it is not advisable to attack forcefully, and should be taken with wisdom." General Chen Wu opened the head of nonsense.

"How to get ahead of wisdom? You have an explanation." Liu Bang couldn't stand such reasonable nonsense the most. If it weren't for the pre-war meeting, he would have beaten this guy with a stick.

Chen Wu is a martial artist. When it comes to wisdom, where does he have it? He just wanted to start and throw a brick to attract jade. Unexpectedly, Liu Bang choked in front of him. He was immediately embarrassed and could not speak. His face was red, and there were thousands of ants crawling on his back.

"King of Han, General," Chen Wu's old friend Xue Ou quickly came out to smooth things over for his buddies, and said, "The last general thought that the Chu army was living in two places and was defeated by our army. Our army could attack Shouchun West Gate tomorrow and lead Xiang Yu to rescue him. Then ambush the left and right. When Xiang Yu comes out, the ambushing troops will rise everywhere, and you can defeat Xiang Yu."

"No, the Chu soldiers are also the bravest army of Xiang Yu, and the world is invincible. At that time, the 400,000 troops in Gaixia could not be surrounded by him. Moreover, today he personally mentioned hundreds of thousands of powerful soldiers, and the military strategy is about ten, five, and the attack is twice. Now our army is equal to the Chu army, how can we easily encircle him?" Li Hou Li Shang immediately retorted.

"Oh, General Li has a good idea?" Liu Bang asked with his eyes lit up.

This Li Shang is no other person, but the younger brother of the Gaoyang drunkard Li Shiqi. Li Shiqi surrendered to more than 70 cities in Qi with his perfect tongue. As his younger brother, Li Shang was not only brave in fighting, but also good at winning by skill. Maybe he had a clever plan.

"After the last few days ago, the general asked the nearby people and learned that there was a mountain in the north of Shouchun City, named Shoushan (after the early Han Dynasty, Liu An, King of Huainan and eight friends refining elixirs, so it was renamed Bagong Mountain). Although this mountain is not high and steep, the peaks are undulating and steep, and ambush can be set up. What General Xue said just now is not useless. Our army can pretend to attack Shouchun and lead Xiang Yu to help. Once Xiang Yu arrives, the entire army will return. Xiang Yu will take advantage of the victory and pursue him. You can find a person who looks like the King of Han, lead Xiang Yu to chase him on Shoushan, cut off his back and cut off his waterway. In less than three days, Xiang Yu's army will be in chaos, and the army has no intention of fighting. Even if Xiang Yu dies, the Chu army will naturally resolve without fighting. Even if there are Chu generals who raise troops to avenge, they will seek death." Li Shang looked around and smiled slightly.

"What if the Chu army comes to rescue him?" Chen Wu asked hurriedly.

After all, there are still 100,000 elite soldiers in Shouchun City. Once Xiang Yu is trapped, Xiang Fei will definitely send a large army to rescue him.

"This matter is very easy. The King of Han and the General are still worried that Xiang Fei will not come to rescue Xiang Yu." Zhang Liang, who was elegant on the side, smiled.

The king and ministers of the Han camp looked at each other and understood what Zhang Liang said. If Xiang Fei came to save him, he would be able to catch him in one go.

"The general made a decision in this matter." After hearing this for a long time, Liu Bang handed over the task to Han Xin.

Han Xin nodded a moment, thought for a moment, and said, "This plan is feasible and needs to be discussed carefully. Xiang Yu may not easily fall into the trap with Fan Zeng. Only when the Han King comes to the battle formation and leads him to pursue him can he use a seemingly person. Once Xiang Yu finds out, it is tantamount to shocking the snake. If he wants to use a plan in the future, it will be very difficult."

"What?" Liu Bang did not expect that he would let Han Xin make a decision, and he was shocked, "I'll go and lead me to it myself?"

"Yes, the King of Han must come in person." Han Xin said firmly.

Liu Bang's eyes turned, what was Han Xin's intention? Could it be that he was holding a grudge for taking his military power? He came up with such a vicious plan to let himself be bait and take Xiang Yu to Shoushan. In this way, he could trap Xiang Yu on the mountain, but wasn't he also trapped on the mountain? There was no doubt that he died before Xiang Yu. Once he and Xiang Yu died, who would have the ability to unify the world? - Only Han Xin!

"Hmph." Liu Bang couldn't help but groan when he thought of this.

"King of Han, the general must have his own reason for this arrangement. General, please tell me in detail so that everyone can advise the staff." Zhang Liang saw that Liu Bang was extremely dissatisfied, so he quickly came forward and gently covered up Liu Bang's dissatisfaction.

"King of Han," Han Xin left his desk and bowed to Liu Bang, saying, "Han Xin had already checked carefully at Shoushan yesterday. There are two ways to go down the mountain. The King of Han can lure Xiang Yu from Shanyang to the top of the mountain. When he goes down, he can quickly go down from Shanyin. Han Xin sent a large army to surround the mountain, cut off the waterway, and then use heavy troops to guard the important roads. Xiang Yu will be captured and killed by me."

"If so, please let the general decide." Liu Bang also realized that his attitude was not good just now. Now it was time to use people. He could not leave Han Xin and others. In that case, he would definitely not be a match for Xiang Yu with his own abilities.

"Fan Kuai, Xiahou Ying obeyed the order." Han Xin first called out Liu Bang's two confidants.

"Fan Kuai (Xiahou Ying) is here." The two of them came out together and said.

"I ordered you and the two of you to protect the King of Han. When our army pretended to be defeated, you two followed the King of Han and protected the King of Han back to the camp safely. If the King of Han makes any mistakes, he will definitely be killed." Han Xin called the most important task to Fan Kuai and Xiahou Ying.

"No." The two of them replied neatly again.

Fan Kuai was Liu Bang's brother-in-law, and Xiahou Ying was Liu Bang's driver. Both of them followed Liu Bang to fight in Pei County, and they were his most trusted people. If they asked them to be Liu Bang's guards, Liu Bang should be at ease. Han Xin expected that Liu Bang was worried about his own safety, but he did not expect that Liu Bang would suspect that Han Xin wanted to be independent.

"Chen Wu, Xue Ou obeys the order!" Han Xin drew out the second command arrow.

"The last one will be there."
