Chapter 227 The old man has three strategies
If few people tell the truth, it may not be effective.
And some lies, if more people tell them, they will naturally become the truth.
Suixian County is only three hundred miles away from Pengcheng, although various rumors began to appear in the city.
But before the situation completely got out of control, Governor Dang still sent the news to Pengcheng.
At this moment, the atmosphere in Pengcheng was slightly tense.
At this time, the position of the King of Chu was slightly embarrassing.
Xiang Liang, the king of Wu Xin who supported him, respected him but was not willing to obey the King of Chu in everything.
And his nephew Xiang Ji didn't have the same spirit as Xiang Liang. If it weren't for Xiang Liang's face, Xiang Ji would have been too lazy to even talk to the King of Chu.
In the main hall, the officials gathered.
The King of Chu sat on it like a doll, watching the ministers below coming and going, but he was speechless and could not say a word.
It's ridiculous to say that he, the king of Chu, has no right to speak on important matters related to the fate of the Chu country.
"Nowadays, Chu State is really besieged on all sides!" Gong Ao sighed and pulled everyone back from the quarrel.
"So what if we are surrounded on all sides? Since the Han army dares to come, send troops to destroy it. This is Chu country, not his Han country!" Xiang Ji looked at Gong Ao angrily.
What he hates the most is people who worry about defeat before fighting, and people who speak in eccentric ways.
The soldiers came to cover up the water and the earth covered it up. It was such a simple principle that they made it so troublesome.
"Ji'er, don't be rude!" Xiang Liang scolded him quickly.
I know my nephew's temper very well. Xiang Liang has been suppressing him all these years, so he can be where he is today.
Xiang Liang didn't even dare to think about it. If he died in battle one day, would the generals of Chu State obey Xiang Ji?
For Xiang Ji, things like today's situation are actually considered to have converged.
If this had happened in the past, or if he was not present, he would have dared to directly kick the opponent.
"Wu Xinjun, what General General said is about the current situation of the Chu country. Although it is unpleasant to hear, it also affects morale, but this is the reality! Xiang Ji is young and energetic, with great pride in his heart, and has the courage to face difficulties directly. I feel that we should not treat him at this moment.
Time is wasted on making noises, but on discussing and making decisions as quickly as possible. Every time we make a noise, the Han army will push the front one step forward. If we argue for several days, the Han army will take a few cities." Liu Ji had to stand up.
After becoming Sheriff Xue, although he lost Xiao He and Cao Shen, Liu Ji's strength still experienced exponential growth in a short period of time.
The number of his subordinates increased from tens of thousands to 100,000 in just a few months.
Now, Liu Ji is also a considerable force in the Chu army camp.
Similarly, Liu Ji's right to speak is gradually increasing.
"What Pei Gong said makes sense!" Xiang Liang nodded. The Han army was now approaching fiercely, making Xiang Liang feel a little numb and unsure of his decision.
But now everyone has different opinions and different opinions.
Finally, Xiang Liang set his sights on Fan Zeng. If anyone could solve Chu's current predicament, then this person must be Fan Zeng.
"Fan Gong, what do you think?"
Fan Zeng changed from normal and did not participate in the previous topics.
Because he knows better than anyone else that no result can be achieved by arguing.
He has been thinking, summarizing the information he knows so far, and then coming up with a countermeasure.
And all the famous people in the world have one thing in common, that is, they are diligent in thinking.
Fan Zeng has lived for more than seventy years, and this is the second time he has encountered a situation like this.
The first time was the battle between Qin and Chu. At that time, although he had some say, he was not the main person.
Then came this time.
Both times, he felt deeply powerless, faintly revealing a feeling of despair.
But when it comes to things, we have to do it.
At that time, there were other celebrities who took the lead, although they failed.
Now that no one can stand in front of him to protect him from the wind and rain, it is Fan Zeng's turn.
The pressure was so great that Fan Zeng had no intention of arguing with them.
"There are three countermeasures!" Fan Zeng nodded and said with a heavy expression.
"Please make it clear, Mr. Fan!" Xiang Liang quickly bowed his hands and saluted.
"Please make it clear, Mr. Fan!" Others immediately stopped arguing and saluted Fan Zeng.
Although some people still think that this war was caused by Fan Zeng's mistakes, this argument is becoming increasingly untenable.
Because every move of the King of Han proved that he had planned it in advance.
In other words, when the Chu State was still thinking about winning over the Han State to join them in fighting against the Qin Army.
The King of Han was already thinking about how to destroy Chu.
Otherwise, why would the King of Han have sent scouts everywhere in Chu?
It happened that at this time Fan Zeng gave him a perfect reason to go up, and the King of Han took the opportunity to attack.
Even if Fan Zeng didn't send this as a reason, the King of Han would find other reasons.
At one point, the King of Han became angry in court, which further meant that the King of Han was well prepared.
Otherwise, according to common sense, the King of Han should have agreed, and then Fan Zeng sent the beauty there. After a while, the King of Han found out that he had been deceived by Fan Zeng, and then he became angry or swallowed for the sake of face.
Fan Zeng's calculation at the time was that he felt that the King of Han would definitely like Yu Ji very much, so it was impossible for him to become angry out of shame.
"First! Resistance is constant, fortification is fortified step by step, no matter how long we delay, either Chu will die first, or Han will be exhausted and unable to fight."
"Second! With the three Han armies, we have assembled heavy troops and picked one of them to fight decisively. The other two lines have deployed key defense lines to delay the Han army's offensive and prevent its reinforcements. If we can win the decisive battle, our army's morale will be greatly boosted. I will think about it later.
There is a way to cripple the Han army on the other side, and the crisis can be resolved!"
"Third! Surrender..."
Fan Zeng directly stated his three suggestions.
Everyone frowned. There were many plans and they were very comprehensive.
Resisting one after another is a way to kill eight hundred enemies and lose one thousand. The war is fought on the territory of Chu State, so the consumption of Chu State will be even greater.
The Han State could farm with peace of mind at home, so the Han army only needed to constantly replenish its troops, while the Chu State needed to consider the issues of soldiers and food.
And if this battle can last two or three years, even if the Han army does not capture the Chu State, the Chu State will basically be exhausted first.
There is no need to consider surrendering. Even if it is too late, it is too early. In short, it is not the time yet.
Therefore, the option of gathering a large number of troops and fighting a decisive battle along the way was naturally placed in front of them.
In terms of the plan with the highest probability of winning, this is it.
With luck, as long as they can annihilate one legion, the morale of the other two legions will be lost, and maybe they will retreat?
Well, even if they don't retreat, Chu's morale should be boosted at this time. The troops with high morale will naturally not be too weak in combat power.
