"When marching and fighting, the most important thing is morale. As a general, you must be able to share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, sympathize with the military, and fight in all directions to plan the overall situation. Only then can you be victorious in every battle. Song Yi, with a hundred thousand armor, is stationed in the camp. The army in Anyang refused to march north to Julu, and the military food supply was difficult, but he ignored it. He feasted with his trusted generals every day and ignored the sufferings of the soldiers of the three armies. How can such a person last long?" Fan Zeng stared at Xiang Yu and said slowly,

After hearing what Fan Zeng said, Xiang Yu didn't realize what Fan Zeng meant at first, but soon, the bright color in Xiang Yu's eyes turned into excitement. If he could seize the opportunity and kill Song Yi instead, then he would be a legitimate military commander. Going north,

But then I thought about it, I had this idea at the beginning, but no one among the generals supported me. Thinking of this, Xiang Yu looked at Fan Zeng with worry and sighed: "When I went north, I also killed Song Yi. In the name of the name, I talked to the generals, but no one responded. Now that the old matter is brought up again, I'm afraid..."

Xiang Yu was so timid, which made Fan Zeng really unhappy. He was the one who was the first to object. Thinking of this, Fan Zeng replied: "Young General, don't you hear that this moment is the same as that moment?"

After saying that, Fan Zeng raised his head and laughed, and said: "I opposed it at first because Song Yi had just left the army, the morale of the army was stable, and the generals were serving his orders. But now, Song Yi has delayed the battle of Julu, and winter is approaching. The soldiers have no winter clothes, and it is difficult to transport food and grass. In a few days, they may have to dig wild vegetables to eat. Under such circumstances, Song Yi did not know how to behave and was still having a meeting with the generals. Isn't this the general's opportunity?"

"Opportunity," Xiang Yu said to himself, but soon, Xiang Yu realized what Fan Zeng meant, and he couldn't help but raised his head and laughed: "Song Yi is a common man, I swear to kill him."

At this moment, a personal attendant walked in quickly, cupped his hands and said: "Two generals, an order came from the Chinese Army. General Song invited you to go to the Chinese Army for a banquet."

After the personal report, he turned around and left. At this time, Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

,,,,,,

At this time, in the main tent of the central army, all generals and above were all sitting at the table.

His son Song Xiang was about to travel far and went to Qi State to take up the post of prime minister. Although the name sounded nice, he was the prime minister of Qi, but Song Yi knew that this was a false position specially set up by Tian Xian in order to win over the relationship between the two countries. It did not have much power, but Song Yi Yi doesn't care about these things. He can find a stable position for his son and can win over the relationship between Qi and Chu. Why not do it?

The food and wine have been served one after another. Those who can sit here and drink are all Song Yi's confidants. It is for this reason that Song Yi invited Xiang Yu to the banquet. He wanted to use this banquet to give him a show of strength and make Xiang Yu He didn't dare to underestimate himself, and he also let Xiang Liang's old subordinates know that he was in charge now, not Xiang Liang, so that everyone would be loyal to him.

The messenger had been gone for half an hour, but Xiang Yu still didn't come. Song Yi looked a little unhappy at this time. He looked at the banquet on the table, called his followers outside the tent, and asked: "Why is Xiang Yu Not coming yet,”

"General, I have already gone to invite him. He should be on the way," the attendant replied very uncertainly. Song Yi had to wave his hand and dismissed the attendant.

There was silence in the big tent. Everyone was staring at Song Yi. Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit solemn, Song Yi couldn't help but laughed and said: "No wait, let's have a dinner."

Several soldiers in charge of the banquet immediately came up and filled everyone's glasses with wine. At this time, Song Yi raised his glass and said with a smile: "For my son to go to Qi State, I would like to thank you all for coming for this glass of wine."

Everyone raised their glasses and drank it all in one gulp. At this time, one of the assistant generals put down their glasses and said bitterly: "Xiang Yu's absence for so long is obviously just for show. General, I think you should severely punish these madmen."

General Pi's words aroused the dissatisfaction of many people, who accused Xiang Yu one after another. However, Song Yi pretended to laugh it off and replied nonchalantly: "There is no need to be afraid of the bravery of an ordinary man. Let's not mention him anymore."

Seeing that Song Yi had no reaction, everyone stopped talking and raised their glasses to toast Song Xiang.

,,,,,,

In the big tent of the Chinese army, there was drinking and singing, and there was a lot of laughter, but the Chu army's camps were miserable. The Chu army's food and grass were insufficient. Some of the soldiers could only eat a piece of flour cake and drink a bowl of vegetable soup. The suffering was unspeakable, but Song Yi showed no sympathy for the sufferings of the soldiers and only focused on his strategy of "watching the fire from the other side", waiting for the war between Qin and Zhao.

At this time, it was meal time for the soldiers in each battalion. Many people had already complained that the food was too poor. Winter was coming. Hebei's winter was extremely cold. Do we want everyone to freeze to death here?

Time passed day by day, complaints increased day by day, people wanted to return home, and the morale of the Chu army also plummeted. Just today, when a few people were eating cakes, drinking clear soup, and complaining endlessly, groups of cavalry rushed into the camp. , holding the token in hand, shouted: "Song Yi has no way, he has conspired with the Qi State, and stationed troops here, just to reach an agreement with the Qi State, and return to the Qi State. We are the generals of the Chu State, and we will eat the emperor's salary. How can you abandon the Kingdom of Chu? Now, General Xiang Yu has received a secret edict from King Huai to kill Song Yi and regain military power. If you have supporters, pick up weapons and follow me on the expedition."

The person who came was Yu Ziqi. He had been ordered by Xiang Yu to assemble the sergeants of each battalion. Most of the Chu troops were Xiang Liang's old troops and Xiang Yu's old troops. When they heard that Song Yi had rebelled, Xiang Yu ordered to punish the thieves and threw away the cakes in their hands and the soup in their bowls. , picked up the weapon from his side and shouted: "I am willing to listen to General Xiang Yu's order,"

"I am willing to listen to General Xiang Yu's order..." Each battalion rose up one after another, picked up their weapons, responded to Xiang Yu's call, and rushed towards the Chinese army.

It was almost dusk. Under Xiang Yu's call, nearly 70,000 Chu troops marched towards the central army. The galloping war horses were like thunder in the sky and the earth trembled. Spearmen, spearmen, shield soldiers, halberdiers, crossbowmen, and archers were all present. Following the chariot, they advanced rapidly towards the Chinese army. An unprecedented mutiny was about to happen. At the front of the team, Xiang Yu wore a helmet and carried a halberd. He looked majestic. Beside him, Fan Zeng stared ahead with a cold expression. , there was no expression on his face, a contemptuous smile flickered in Fan Zeng's eyes, maybe he was laughing at Song Yi's unwiseness, maybe he was laughing at himself, not knowing whether the path he chose was right. wrong,

In the Chinese army camp, Song Yi had just sent Song Xiang away and returned under the escort of several close and beloved generals.

The banquet had broken up, and Xiang Yu did not show up until Song Xiang left. Song Yi was extremely resentful. Xiang Yu would never avoid him because of a banquet. The only possibility was that Xiang Yu no longer cared about himself as the commander-in-chief.

Thinking of Xiang Yu's arrogance, Song Yi was filled with hatred. He drew out his long sword from his waist and slashed at the table with a muffled sound. At this time, a follower rushed towards him. As he entered, he panicked and said: "General... General, Xiang Yu has conspired to rebel."

"What?" Song Yi was shocked, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground with a "ding" sound. At this time, the follower was still talking, and an arrow had been revealed from the chest of the follower, and blood was flowing down the arrowhead// Liu, the follower fell to the ground uncontrollably, convulsed for a moment, and died.

Song Yi was stunned by what he saw. He was originally a civil servant and had no military skills. At this time, he suddenly encountered a mutiny. Song Yi's only thought was to fight out and return to Pengcheng to make plans. Thinking of this, Song Yi leaned over and picked up the pieces. He raised his iron sword and wanted to charge out. Suddenly, a group of soldiers and horses surrounded the tent. Xiang Yu's ferocious laughter could be heard from outside: "Song Yi, I have a secret edict from King Huai to kill you and others. You know who you are." , come out by yourself, otherwise, I will burn the camp,"

"Xiang Yu, don't try to fool everyone here. King Huai didn't give you a secret edict at all," Song Yi roared outside the camp, but what he got in return was the shouts of the soldiers of the three armies: "Kill Song Yi, kill the traitor... …”

"Execute Song Yi, kill the traitor..."

The shouts of the crowd completely defeated Song Yi's bottom line. He suddenly knelt on the ground and looked helplessly at the iron sword in his hand. Going north and taking Xiang Yu with him was the biggest mistake. Thinking of this, Song Yi raised his head and shouted: "I How stupid..."

Song Yi burst into tears with a cry. At this moment, his intestines were filled with regret, and he didn't know where he went wrong.

Watch the fire from the other side, wait for the battle between Qin and Zhao, and then wait for the opportunity to move. If you advance, you can pacify Zhao, if you retreat, you can destroy Zhang Han, and go straight to Guanzhong. Isn't this the best strategy to strengthen Chu? Why, these soldiers have to obey Xiang Yu's orders ,Is it because Xiang Liang’s remaining power is still there?

'No,' a voice in his heart overruled Song Yi. It was his lack of sympathy for the soldiers and failure to plan a retreat as soon as possible that led to today's changes.

"That's it, that's it," Song Yi shouted to himself. He put the iron sword across his neck. Beside him, several confidants wanted to come forward to dissuade him. Song Yi had closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and slashed with the iron sword. Afterwards, blood burst out, and soon Song Yi fell into a pool of blood.

When several of his confidants saw that Song Yi was loyal and had no way out, Xiang Yu would not spare others lightly, so they drew their swords and committed suicide.

Outside, Xiang Yu was riding on his horse. Seeing that no one came out of the tent for a long time, he had no patience to wait any longer. He raised his right hand and waved forward. More than a hundred archers unfurled their bows and set arrows. The arrowheads were coated with lamp oil, and several The soldier holding the torch immediately lit the arrowhead, and a captain shouted loudly: "Let go,"

More than a hundred feathered arrows shot // into the tent. Soon, Song Yi's tent was engulfed in fire.

,,,,,,

On the official road of Fanyang County, a team of more than a hundred people was slowly moving forward. The leader was a young man. He was Song Yi's son, Song Xiang. At this time, he was rushing to the Yellow River ferry to prepare to cross the Yellow River. Heading towards Qi State,

Before leaving, Song Yi repeatedly told Song Xiang to maintain the harmony between Qi and Chu so that the two countries can assist each other. Only in this way can Chu become stronger in future wars.

Just when Song Xiang was meditating on his father's words and reluctant to leave, suddenly, a cavalry team of more than a thousand people came galloping over. The leading general shouted: "General Song Xiang, stop. I am following the order of the general. I want to give you something,”

Song Xiang faintly heard someone calling his name. He looked back and saw a Chu army running towards him. Soon, he heard the Chu general calling him and saying that he had something to send. Song Xiang Xiangnel stopped the war horses and waited where they were.

Soon, the Chu army came close. The leader of the Chu army raised his hands and said, "Please come out and answer, General Song Xiang."

"What do you want to give me?" Song Xiang rode his horse out. At this time, the Chu general came to Song Xiang and sneered: "Here is the thing."

He drew out the long sword from his waist and struck it with one strike. Song Xiang screamed and fell off his horse. His followers behind him wanted to protect him, but the Chu army swarmed up and killed Song Xiang's followers one after another. At this time,

The Chu general jumped off his horse, took out his dagger, chopped off Song Xiang's head, then got on his horse, turned the horse's head, and ran quickly towards Anyang.
