Thinking of this, Xiang Yu couldn't help but cast a glance at the direction outside the door. It had been a while since his aunt and the others set off, and he didn't know what was going on now.

"Yu'er, it's not good."

At this time, Xiang Liang's voice came from the door.

Hearing this, Xiang Yu raised his head and took a look, only to see that Xiang Liang's hair was messy, and his fair and pretty face was also covered with dust at this time. A strand of messy hair was stuck to his side face by beads of sweat. Very embarrassing.

Seeing this, she couldn't help being taken aback: "Auntie, what's wrong with you?"

Xiang Liang calmed down for a while, and said with silver teeth, "Then Han Xin really colluded with Bai Su secretly, she is a traitor."

Xiang Yu was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help asking: "No...impossible, why did Han Xin suddenly betray me?"

You know, since she saved Han Xin on the street in the past, she has always brought Han Xin by her side, and it is hard to imagine that someone around her will betray her.

Seeing his niece's unbelievable expression, Xiang Liang smiled bitterly, and narrated what he saw with his own eyes.

How did Han Xin contact Bai Su secretly, intending to destroy the secret letter, but was caught by himself, and how did he cooperate with Xia Jun to set up an ambush? was imprisoned.

Xiang Yu still couldn't believe it: "Could it be somewhere that there was a misunderstanding, and she has no reason to betray me."

However, Xiang Liang no longer had any trust in Han Xin, so he couldn't help but snorted coldly and said: "This man's heart is in the belly. Once some people take power, their ambitions will grow. Even Goujian, the king of Yue, was not You can share adversity, but not rich people."

"If Yu'er doesn't believe it, you can ask her yourself when Long Qi comes back."

After I don't know how long.

Led by Long Qi in a panic, a group of remnants retreated to the camp of the Chu army.

After Xiang Yu questioned Long Qi carefully, he learned that it was indeed Han Xin who took the initiative to cooperate with Xia Jun's actions and led them into the ambush circle.

She clenched her hands tightly and made a creaking sound: "The person I hate the most in my life is a traitor. After I defeat that Bai Su, she will be the second person to settle accounts."

But Xiang Liang hurriedly reminded: "No... the most important thing now is not to fight the Xia army, but to take back the military power given to Han Xin as soon as possible. Don't let her collude with the old army and rebel behind us."

Xiang Yu's slender black eyebrows frowned slightly, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "Alright, let's first focus on rectifying the morale of the army. After the army is stabilized, quickly write a letter to urge Wei Bao and the others. When we are in a decisive battle with the Xia army, they will The Northern Expedition to Langya County put Xia's army into a two-front battle."

"Yes."

The dragon holds his fists and respects the leader.

......

......

Compared with the murderous look on Xiang Yu's side, the city is full of excitement.

When Bai Su returned to the mansion, he could see a group of people standing at the door waiting for him from a distance.

In addition to Chen Ping, Fan Kui and others, Xia Houying and others gathered from other places.

On Chen Ping's fair and pretty face, with a smile on his face, he walked up to him quickly: "Your Excellency forced the Chu army back in the first battle, and defeated the morale of the Chu army. It really boosted the morale of our army."

Bai Su said with a smile on his face: "This battle was not done by me alone, if you hadn't been brave enough to cooperate with my plan, how could we have won today's victory."

Fan Kui smiled sassyly: "My lord is too humble. Since the beginning of the army, the Chu army has been invincible all the way, which makes people fearful. But under the command of your lord, I just led the army and won."

"I have never fought such a good battle since I sent troops."

"At today's banquet, I must personally toast your lord. Hey, who is this behind your lord?"

At this time, she took a closer look, and there was a girl standing beside Bai Su who seemed to be about fifteen or sixteen years old.

The girl was dressed in a heroic silver skirt, and the armor outlined her body exquisitely. Her appearance was elegant and refined, and her facial features were exquisite.

But the most eye-catching thing is her eyes, which are like a pair of deep pool eyes, without the slightest emotion fluctuation, like a delicate marionette.

Bai Su glanced at Han Xin with a smile, and said, "This is a unparalleled talent in the country, even I have great admiration for her, she is our most honored guest today."

Hearing Bai Su's words, everyone present couldn't help being stunned.

You know, who is Bai Su, His Majesty's right-hand man and the pillar of the Great Xia court? It is no exaggeration to say that with a wave of his sleeves, the entire empire will cause earthquakes of several magnitudes.

However, such a big man actually paid so much attention to a young general from Chu who had just become famous.

After all, Han Xin's current reputation is not enough to convince the public.

Han Xin himself realized this.

Seeing how the generals were frowning, she subconsciously let go of her hand and said, "My lord, I'm tired, why don't you let me rest, I won't go to the banquet."

"This can't be done..."

Bai Su didn't give her a chance to refuse, and grabbed her delicate hand: "You are on my Liangshan, and you will be mine from now on. There is no reason to leave the banquet. Come, come, come with me." Have a few drinks."

With that said, he walked into the hall.

Han Xin was not an eloquent person at all, he didn't know how to refuse Bai Su's almost rascally behavior, so he had to be dragged in halfway.

Seeing this, Bai Su smiled with satisfaction, and sure enough, the three-no girl is the best, and putting it in Xiang Yu's hands is really a waste of money.

He specially asked Han Xin to sit beside him, and asked someone to distribute the fresh venison cooked for him to Han Xin.

Han Xin looked at Bai Su, who was in front of him with a face of hospitality, and felt mixed emotions in his heart for a while.

I thought that after coming to Xia Jun, Bai Su would not pay much attention to her who lost her use value, but he never expected to be treated so courteously, and he was flattered at once.

She said: "My lord, I can't believe that I'm dressed in commoner clothes, I come from a humble background, and now I'm a general without a soldier. My lord treats me like this, it really makes Xin sincere and terrified."

Bai Su said with a smile on his face: "My Great Xia employs people who never recognize their backgrounds, and only use talents. Back then, Lord Wu'an Bai Qi did not worship a general from a commoner official, and Zhang Yi started from a lobbyist who couldn't afford to drink. The official worships the position of Xiangguo, and the general's talent is not inferior to the two of them."

"As for having no soldiers, it's as simple as that. I'll give you a hundred thousand troops..."

As he spoke, he waved to Chen Ping.

Chen Ping came over with a copper plate, lifted the red cloth and looked, inside was the tiger talisman for Daxia's deployment of troops.

Han Xin's vermilion lips parted slightly, and an inconceivable expression appeared on his face: "My lord, are you really willing to hand over the soldier talisman to me?"

Bai Su smiled and said: "That's right, I have admired the general's talent for a long time, if the general is willing to help me, it is like adding wings to a tiger, soaring to the sky, I wonder if the general is willing?"

"This……"

Han Xin was at a loss for words for a while, and from the frowning reactions of Fan Kui, Xia Houying and others, she could tell that the Tiger Talisman was obviously real.

As long as she reaches out her hand, she can easily get the command of a hundred thousand troops and become the commander of one side.

You must know that when she was in Chu State, she had been following Xiang Yu for a year, and she never had the actual right to mobilize tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.

But Bai Su in front of him, because he met her a few times and admired her talent, he is willing to hand over a hundred thousand people to her, what kind of heart is this.

Rumor has it that the Duke of Zhou vomited his nourishment, and the world returned to his heart.

The Daliang Zao in front of him is not much better than Duke Zhou.

Despite the excitement in her heart, she still refused after hesitating for a long time: "Anyway, Xiang Yu is kind to me. If I seek refuge with Sir, I will definitely confront Xiang Yu. Please allow me to refuse."

Fan Kuai, Xia Houying and the others were already extremely dissatisfied with Han Xin, but now when they heard what she said, they immediately frowned, wishing to stand up and teach her a lesson.

But Bai Su stretched out his hand to stop it, and immediately said with a smile: "This is not urgent, so many things must have happened today, the general is already very tired, why not go down for a while, take a break and think about it."

Han Xin did not refuse either, and after bowing respectfully to Bai Su, he followed the maid and slowly retreated.

After she left, Fan Kui couldn't help cursing immediately: "This guy really doesn't know how to flatter, my lord, why keep someone like her?"

Chen Ping said thoughtfully: "I think that adults have never been unsure of things, and there must be other deep meanings."

Chapter 350 Public opinion war, a small piece of paper is comparable to an army of [-]

Bai Su smiled slightly: "Don't look at this young Han Xin, but she has the sharpest spirit in the world. Keeping her here will be of great use in pacifying the Wei and Han coalition forces in the future."

"Here, the aristocrats in Chu have a lot of influence. Han Xin has lived in Chu for many years, and we are short of manpower there. Naturally, there must be one more capable person like this."

"Even if she really doesn't want to serve me, just breaking Xiang Yu's arm, for us, it's already a solid profit."

Chen Ping nodded lightly: "I see."

Although Fan Kui was still a bit dissatisfied with Han Xin, but since Bai Su had spoken, it was hard for her to say anything more.

She looked at Bai Su, and couldn't help asking: "Since your lord has already thought of solving the remaining power of Chu State for many years, does it mean that he wants to take action against Xiang Yu and seize the entire Chu State in the near future?"

As soon as she said this, all the civil servants and generals present were stunned.

After all, although Xiang Yu has temporarily stopped his offensive after a round of setbacks, his morale is still stable.

Especially, under Xiang Yu's personal leadership, it was as unstoppable as a spear.

Don't look at Fan Kui's arrogant words now, she is not afraid that the Chu army will look at her in the slightest, but she really wants to fight Xiang Yu head-on, with real swords and guns, and she feels guilty for a while.

Facing such a brave and skilled army, it may not be so easy for no one to decide the winner for a year and a half.

Bai Su took a sip of his tea, and said with a smile, "No, it's precisely because Xiang Yu is too strong on the battlefield, and this is precisely the biggest reason for the Chu army's defeat."

Chen Ping, Fan Kui and others looked at each other, with a look of doubt on their faces.

When did personal strength turn into a weakness?

Isn't this an advantage?

Bai Su put down the teacup in his hand, and drew a circle on the table with the tea: "If our Xia army is like an egg, hard on the outside and soft on the inside, then Xiang Yu is a sharp arrow. force."

"Once there is any trouble, she needs to personally lead the troops to suppress the rebellion, and use one victory after another to stabilize the alliance of the Six Nations Allied Forces and at the same time improve the morale of the Chu army. Then the problem comes..."

"No matter how sharp Xiang Yu's sharp arrow is, she will eventually be useless by herself. She can only choose one direction to attack at a time, and then our chance will come."

"On one front, we may not be her opponents. It won't take long for the city that we hold on to be captured by her, but in the same way, we can also take the initiative."

"This arrow is no match, so let's shoot a few more arrows."

"Divide our soldiers and horses into several units, and constantly take turns to harass them around the Chu army's camp day and night. During the day, we conduct military exercises in front of them, and at night, we beat gongs and drums, pretending to attack them at night to harass them."

"If the Chu army came over angrily, we would turn around and run back to the city. If the Chu army turned a blind eye, we would pretend to be a real surprise attack."

"If they are on full alert, that's okay. We can take turns to replace them. I'll go on one, three, five, and you go on two, four, six."

"Just relying on the number of people to bully them."

"If Xiang Yu becomes angry from embarrassment and leads the soldiers of the whole country to fight with me, that would be even better. Soldiers and horses from other places will quickly go south to surprise Shouchun and Jiangdong, and come out to encircle Wei and save Zhao, making Xiang Yu difficult to care about."

"We have several large granaries in the Western Regions, Grassland, Liaodong, Guanzhong, Bashu, etc. Even if we fall all the way, relying on the transportation of grain and grass in other directions, we can continue to fight. It can be said that our strategic depth is far stronger. pass them."

"However, the only thing Xiang Yu can rely on is Shouchun, the capital of Chu, and the land of Jiangdong. As long as this place is lost, her logistics will be cut short, and the morale of the Chu army will also be completely lost."

"In these ten battles, we can lose nine times, but Xiang Yu only needs to lose once, and she will be finished."

"So under this premise, what we have to do is very simple. We will continue to besiege Chu from all directions. We don't want a big victory, we just want to be undefeated. As long as Xiang Yu returns to the army to help, we will retreat quickly and constantly harass them. , never give her a chance to win or lose in a single battle."

"As soon as Xiang Yu withdraws from the front line, soldiers and horses from other routes can advance quickly, gradually eroding the living space of the Chu army."

"There is only one purpose from the beginning to the end, so that Xiang Yu will always be in a state of exhaustion. Although she continues to win on the battlefield and we continue to lose, our chassis is constantly expanding and our strength is gradually increasing, while the Chu army is getting stronger and stronger. getting weaker."

"When Xiang Yu is completely exhausted, it's time for us to have a decisive battle."

After hearing Bai Su's words, everyone's eyes lit up.

This tactic is very simple, and it can be seen by individuals, but it is really incomprehensible to deal with it.

The reason is simple, this is a standard strategy of bullying small countries with the advantage of big countries.

I will never gamble on the strength of the whole country, just to prevent the entire army from being wiped out in case the ship capsizes.

Xiang Yu can win in one direction at most, but Xia Jun can win in several directions, and the overall situation will continue to tilt towards Xia Jun.

In the end, Xiang Yu may face a situation where he is obviously winning and has not lost a game, but in the end he loses inexplicably.

While Chen Ping was overjoyed, he seemed to think of something again. He frowned slightly and said, "But my lord, all of this is based on the fact that Xiang Yu is fighting alone. What if the Wei and Han coalition forces cooperate with Xiang Yu to stop our southward movement?" Soldiers, what should we do?"

Fan Kui and the others also reacted.

Yes, although the strength of the Wei and Han coalition forces is inferior to that of the Chu army, it is still possible to delay the Xia army for a while.

Bai Su smiled, "Don't worry, Wei Bao and the others absolutely don't have the energy to help Xiang Yu."

Chen Ping was stunned: "What does your lord mean by this?"

Bai Su picked up a piece of rice paper on the table and asked, "Do you know what this is?"

"This is the rice paper invented by adults. It is used to print books. Now there are many bookstores among the people, and many novels and other things are printed."

Chen Ping looked at Bai Su with some doubts as he said that, he couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Bai Su sold in the gourd.

Bai Su said with a smile on his face: "That's right, this rice paper is used to record information and facilitate dissemination. After years of development, folk businessmen have built a large number of bookstores and printed various books."

"And the source of this paper is held in the hands of the imperial court. Holding the paper mill is equivalent to controlling the lifeblood of bookstores all over the world. Do you know what this means?"

Chen Ping felt as if he had touched something, but he couldn't say it for a while.
