At this time, the Chu army had besieged Xingyang for almost three months.The Han army repelled the attack of the Chu army again. Hearing the sound of the Chu army's cry of gold, the Han army soldiers breathed a sigh of relief. They collapsed on the top of the city like fish that have landed on the shore, panting heavily. gruffly.

Below the city of Xingyang, there are dead bodies of various shapes and limbs everywhere, as well as rolling logs and stones, as well as the remains of ladders that have been knocked apart or burned.The coagulated, or coagulated blood dyed the city root and the soil at the city root dark red.It happened to be the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, and there was a faint smell of corpses in the air.

"What's going on here? Why did Xiang Yu's siege become stronger these two times?" Liu Bang asked after looking at Zhang Liang, Cao Can and Fan Kui.

Zhang Liang stroked his beard and remained silent, but Cao Shen said, "Your Majesty, this is because...the Chu army has enough food."

Cao Shen also followed Liu Bang's old man from Peixian County. When he entered Guanzhong with Liu Bang, he was named the Marquis of Jiancheng for his meritorious service.Later, Liu Bang sent Cao Shen into Han Xin's army, and followed Han Xin to defeat Wei, Ping Zhao, and destroy Qi.This time, after Han Xin withdrew his troops from Gaixia and took a neutral attitude towards the Chu-Han dispute, Cao Shen also led his headquarters to leave Qi and return to Xingyang.

Liu Bang frowned and said, "Didn't Peng Yue take the Chu army's rations?"

Cao Shen said: "These two times, the grain of the Chu army was transported from the south, and did not go to the north."

Liu Bang frowned and said, "Where's Yingbu? Still unwilling to send troops to help?"

Cao Shendao: "Yingbo is still the first and the second end of the mouse."

Liu Bangdao: "No, if the Chu army continues to attack like this, Xingyang will definitely not be able to defend it. Cao Can, please write a letter to Peng Yue for me, telling him to continue to harass the Chu army's Liangdao."

"Here."

After the discussion, Cao Shen went down to write a letter. As soon as Fan Kui returned to his residence, his personal guard had come over and said, "General, the interrogator has been waiting for a long time." Shi Qi had already greeted him, smiled and cupped his hands and said, "General Fan."

Shen Shiqi looks about 40 years old, with a thin face, drooping eyebrows, and a slightly bitter look.He is also from Peixian County, a fellow villager of Liu Bang. When Liu Bang entered the customs, he left his father Lu Taigong, his wife Lu Zhi, and a pair of sons and daughters Liu Ying and Liu Yuan from Lu Zhi. take care of.After the Battle of Pengcheng, Liu Bang was defeated, Lu Taigong, Lu Zhi and Shen Shiqi were captured by the Chu army and taken captive to Pengcheng.Over the years, Shen Shiqi has been hardworking and loyal to Lu Zhi, and Lu Zhi is the sister of Fan Kuai's wife, Lu Wei. Because of this relationship, Fan Kui also respects him very much.

Fan Kuai hastily bowed his hand to return the salute, and said, "Ah, it turned out to be the interrogator. Is the Queen looking for something for me?"

Shen Shiqi said: "That's right. If General Fan has time, can you go see the queen?"

Fan Kuai came to see Lu Zhi with Shen Shiqi, and saw that besides Lu Zhi, there was also a middle-aged painter present. In front of him, there was a piece of cloth spread out, and a pool of ink had already been polished in the inkstone.

Fan Kuai was stunned, puzzled, and bowed his hands to greet Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi said: "Hey, sit down both of you, we are both from our own family, so there is no need to be polite." His attitude was very cordial.Shen Shiqi and Fan Kui both sat down at the bottom of the seat as promised, Fan Kui scratched his head and said: "Sister, what is this?"

Lu Zhi's eyes flashed, and he said, "Ah Kuai, are you familiar with Han Xin?"

Fan Kuai scratched his head again, and said, "It's hard to say I'm very familiar."

Lu Zhi sighed: "Oh, what I mean is, you must be very familiar with his appearance."

"It's natural." When Liu Bang built an altar to worship generals in Hanzhong, all the generals in the army hoped that they would be worshiped as generals, and Fan Kuai was no exception. Unexpectedly, the one who was worshiped as a general in the end was the one with "hip|bottom" Han Xin in the name of "disgrace".At that time, all the generals were dissatisfied, including himself of course. Until later, from Han Xinming's repair of plank roads and secret storage of Chencang, to breaking Wei, Ping Zhao, and destroying Qi, not to mention others, at least Fan Kuai himself, admired Han Xin so much.

Empress Lu smiled and said, "That's good, tell me, what does Han Xin look like?"

Fan Kuai said: "Well, I'm afraid I can't say it right."

"It's okay, just speak slowly, if you make a mistake, just correct it." Lu Hou glanced at Shen Shiqi with a gentle gaze, and said, "It's a pity that Shiqi and I stayed in our hometown, and later became hostages in Chuying , I have never seen this famous King Qi."

"Okay. Han Xin is actually very handsome, and his face is long and round..." Fan Kui said while the artist was drawing on the paper. Look, but this?"

Fan Kui walked over to take a look, and said, "Well, the chin should be pointed a little bit, and the eyebrows should be raised a little..."

The painter made some revisions, and finally Fan Kuai said: "Well, it's almost like this."

Lu Zhi said: "Show it to me quickly."

Fan Kuai took the cloth from the painter and presented it to Lu Zhi. When he saw the portrait, Lu Zhi's eyes lit up, dazzlingly bright.

Fan Kuai asked suspiciously, "Sister? What's the matter?"

Lu Zhi smiled concealedly, and said: "Oh, it's nothing, I mean, I never thought that the well-known Qi Wangxin would be so handsome, he looks like a big girl." After finishing speaking, she handed the portrait to Examining Shiqi, said: "Shiqi, take a look."

Shen Shiqi took a look at the portrait, looked up at Lu Zhi, and nodded.

A few days later, an urgent letter from Liu Bang was quickly delivered to the Liang Palace.

Peng Yue took the silk book from the messenger, hesitated a few times, and finally opened the letter. After reading it hastily, he let out a long breath.Sure enough, as he expected, in the letter, Liu Bang wrote that due to the Chu army's current military rations were sufficient and the siege efforts were intensified, the Han army was already struggling to defend the city. Liu Bang ordered Peng Yue to go deep into the Chu territory and destroy the Chu army's food roads.At the end of the letter, Liu Bang reminded him again that the two are now grasshoppers on the same rope, one prospers and the other loses.If the King of Han was defeated, Xiang Yu would never spare Peng Yue.

It turned out that when Japan and Hanxin wrote to Xiang Yu, they proposed that the Chu army should avoid Suiyang and Waihuang, and that the army should not assemble in Pengcheng, but in Shouchun instead, and then turn west along the southern part of Chu, south of Xingyang. Fold again and go north, and send it to Chuying.

In this way, although the journey was farther and the transportation more arduous than taking the northern line of Chu State, it avoided Peng Yue's harassment, so that the military rations could be delivered to the Chu camp in good condition.

After Xiang Yu received the letter, he really adopted Han Xin's suggestion, and went to the south of Chu State for two consecutive grain shipments. As Han Xin expected, Peng Yue was afraid that his return route would be cut off, and he did not dare to go deep into the border of Chu State. The food was delivered to the city of Xingyang in good condition.

Peng Yue clutched the silk book tightly, frowning, paced back and forth in the hall.How should this be done?If you go deep into Chu to harass the grain transportation, it is really dangerous for yourself and the Liang army to go deep alone; but if you let it go and let the Chu army attacking Xingyang have enough food and grass, it will damage the overall situation.What should he do?

Suddenly, Peng Yue stood still and thought to himself, "That's not right. What the Chu army did was actually just a stopgap measure. Although they went to the south of Chu, they didn't have to worry about looting food by themselves, but the journey was much more difficult than going to Pengcheng and Suiyang. The line of Waihuang and Waihuang is at least twice as far away, and considering the food wasted by the soldiers and servants who escorted the food and grass on the road, it must not be possible to transport much food every time, and in the long run, it must not be supported by the national strength of the Chu State."

Thinking of this, Peng Yue showed a smile on his face, and called a guard to give some instructions, and the guard took the order.

The author has something to say: It seems that there are still few people who like to watch wars. . .
