In Fuli County, Sishui County, Bishu's army was following the navy's support to cross the Sui River.

Bi Shu was wearing a light clothes, standing with his hands behind his back, and the cold wind blew up the white cloak behind him, making a sound. Behind Bi Shu, Ziche Shi, Xiqilie, Yu Ziqi and General Tiger Ben Jin Xiang stood proudly.

Yu Ziqi stepped forward and stood beside Bi Shu and said, "General, the army crossed the Sui River from Fuli County. Less than two hundred miles north, the capital of Huainan is Pengcheng, but the Huainan army has never been moved. It seems that King Yingbu of Huainan planned to concentrate all his troops and defend Pengcheng to the death."

Bi Shu smiled faintly and said, "This is the best, just to achieve the best in one battle."

Yu Ziqi thought about it and said, "General, as far as the general knows, Fei Zhu, Zhu Jian, and Ma Ye are all greedy villains. Should they secretly send someone to bribe them, or can they serve as internal supporters of our army?"

Bi Shu shook his finger and said, "Fei Zhu, Zhu Jian, although Ma Ye is greedy, they will never make a choice easily before the general situation is clear. Therefore, instead of trying to do something about them, it is better to use a dignified army and a downward force of Mount Tai to break Pengcheng and crush Huainan in one fell swoop!"

#############

Pengcheng, the residence of the General Feizhu.

General Fei Chi hurried into the hall. Fei Chi was Fei Zhu's younger brother. The two brothers were originally a pig slaughter. Later, the younger sister married Ying Bu and became a concubine. The two brothers followed Ying Bu's tent and became a small school. After years of hard work, Fei Zhu was promoted to general. Fei Chi naturally became the general.

"Brother, brother!" Fei Di laughed at Fei Zhu, "Hahaha, we're getting rich this time, we're getting rich!"

Before he finished speaking, Feizhu had already slapped Fei Chen twice, but he was confused. Fei Chen covered her swollen face and ate and said, "Brother, what are you doing?"

"What are you doing?" Fei Zhu said angrily, "Do you still have the face to come back?"

"Brother, what's wrong with you? You can't say anything?"

"Okay, I'll ask you, who asked you to rob Zhongli and Quyang County? Om?"

"Isn't this what you said, brother? Provoking disputes at the border to help the king make up his mind to form an alliance with Qi Han..."

"I asked you to provoke disputes at the border, but I didn't let you rob, let alone kill people. But you didn't let you rob, not only did you rob Zhongli and Quyang counties, but also slaughtered more than 20,000 people! Do you know that because of your recklessness, our Fei family's retreat to Chu State was completely cut off. Now we can only follow Yingbu Road to the dark!"

The matter has to start three months ago. Three months ago, the Han envoy Lu Jia came to Feizhu, hoping that Feizhu could beat the edge drum in front of Yingbu, which led to the Huainan Kingdom's turn. After receiving a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, Feizhu, Zhu Mai began to make greedy words in front of Yingbu, lobbying Yingbu to betray Chu and instead form an alliance with Qi and Han.

Although there were lobbying by slander officials such as Feizhu, Zhumai, and Ma Ye, Yingbu was still unable to make up his mind.

In order to "help" Ying Bu make up his mind early, Feizhu arranged for Feizhu to provoke a dispute at the border.

However, Feizhu never thought of betting all his treasures on Qi and Han countries. In addition to accepting bribes from Han envoys and lobbying Ying Bu to form an alliance with Qi and Han, Feizhu was still secretly dating with Chu. Feizhu knew very well that Huainan Kingdom was about to perish. If the Fei family did not want to perish with Huainan Kingdom, they had to seek a way out as soon as possible.

Originally, Feizhu was fighting with two-sided speculation. If Chu destroyed Huainan, he would surrender to Chu. If Huainan was annexed by Qi and Han, he would surrender to Qi and Han. But now, due to Feizhu's recklessness, the retreat to Chu was gone. Feizhu killed so many people in Chu, and Xiang Zhuang could spare the two brothers?

"You, you." Feizhu pointed at Fei Bai's nose and was so angry that he was so angry. "He is so stupid than a pig."

Fei Di flattened his mouth and said disapprovingly: "What's the big deal? Wouldn't you just kill tens of thousands of people? Xiang Zhuang's son refused to let us go. Our Fei family was not willing to join him. Humph, just say that the Huainan War, the Huainan Army and the Qi army had a total of 200,000 troops, and the troops were no less than the Chu army. I was afraid that he would be a bird."

"You know, Bishu is so easy to deal with?" Fei Zhu said, and sighed again, "But now there is no other way. We can only fight to the death with the Chu army. If Huainan Kingdom is annexed by Qi or Han Kingdom in the future, our Fei family can still have a way out. If Chu Kingdom annexed it, we will be done."

#############

Five days later, the Chu army finally arrived at the city of Pengcheng.

When the army set up camp, Bi Shu led hundreds of personal soldiers to the south bank of Sishui, standing on the banks of the Sishui River with his hands behind his back. Looking at the endless flow of vast rivers, Bi Shu couldn't help but feel a little confused. More than three years ago, he fought with Han Xin here. If Ying Bu hadn't captured the Qi army camp in the end, he really didn't know what the result would have been.

After three years, Bi Shu once again appeared on the banks of the Sishui River, but the Huainan Army became his enemy, while the Qi Army became the allies of the Huainan Army. Things are inconsistent.

#############

Bi Shu stood by the Sishui River and felt a lot of emotion, but Ying Bu cursed in the palace.

"It's all your fault, you, you, and you, you all blame you. You idiots, pigs, I have been hurt by you!" Ying Bu pointed at Zhu Jian, Zhang Mai, Fei Zhu, and Ma Ye's nose, cursed, and even Kuai Che was scolded. Kuai Che also agreed with the fact that he betrayed the Chu State and turned to form an alliance with Qi and Han.

Kuai Che did not accept the benefits of the Han envoy, he was sincerely planning for Huainan Kingdom.

The situation has become very obvious. With the continuous and rapid expansion of the national strength of Chu State, the general trend of Xiangzhuang sweeping the world has become increasingly obvious. Huainan State has become increasingly a stumbling block for the Chu army to go north to compete for the Central Plains. Based on the iron rule of getting along with far and near, it will be a matter of time before Chu State takes action against Huainan State.

Therefore, instead of waiting for Chu to tear down the alliance and being caught off guard by the Chu army, it would be better to take the initiative to abandon the alliance with Chu and turn to form an alliance with Qi and Han countries, and use the principle of losing their lips and being cold. If Chu really attacks Huainan, Qi and Han countries will definitely not stand idly by. If this happens, Huainan may still have a glimmer of vitality.

However, Ying Bu obviously would not have considered it so far. He believed that the crisis in front of him was caused by these ministers. If these idiots had not repeatedly made suggestions, and secretly instigated the Rong soldiers to provoke trouble on the border, how could Ying Bu tear up the alliance with Chu? If the alliance was not destroyed, why would the Chu army have been in a big way?

Ying Bu scolded several ministers so much that he was so angry that he sat back on the table until he was tired of scolding.

Kuai Che sighed and gritted his teeth and advised: "King, the Chu army is already at the city. It is meaningless to hold who is responsible at this time. It is urgent to act separately and consolidate the city defense. Don't wait until the Chu army starts to attack the city but we have not prepared enough materials to defend the city. That's a problem."

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, now we should assign tasks to consolidate the city defense."

"I also agree with the suggestions of the Prime Minister and General, and it is important to consolidate the city defense."

As Kuai Che finished speaking, ministers such as Zhu Jian, Xu Chai, Zhang Mai, Fei Zhu, Ma Ye and other ministers expressed their approval in a rare manner. Ying Bu thought it was reasonable. He immediately dispatched Fei Zhu to dispatch troops to condemn generals and guarded the various juntas. Zhu Jian and Xu Chai raised food, grass and weapons, Zhang Ma Ye recruited Min Zhuang to transport wooden and rocks, and Kuai Che took people to Xue County to contact the Qi army.

After all the assignments were stopped, Ying Bu's life gained the golden armor that had not been worn for several years, put it on, then went straight out of the palace, crossed the street and headed straight for the south gate. As the king of Huainan Kingdom, with a great enemy in front of him, Ying Bu had to encourage and cheer the people of Huainan and the soldiers in any case.

It has to be said that Ying Bu’s prestige in the minds of Huainan soldiers is still quite high.

Although Ying Bu has not been on the battlefield for several years and does not usually go to the military camp, as soon as Ying Bu appears, the Huainan soldiers driving along the streets immediately cheered, feeling the worship of the soldiers, and listening to their warm cheers, the long-silent blood in Ying Bu's chest gradually boiled.

#############

In Xue County, 100,000 Qi troops were heading south along the road.

The army barely advanced to the outskirts of Teng County and it became dark. Han He immediately ordered the entire army to set up camp on the spot. He ordered Cao Qi to enter the city to inform the Teng County Magistrate to prepare military food and grass. This was the agreed rule of Gu Cheng. Whenever a large army goes to war, all counties along the way must provide food and grass, otherwise it will be a dereliction of duty.

Cao Qi went there for about half an hour and then brought a short and thin middle-aged man into Han He's tent.

"Crown Prince." Cao Qi bowed to Han He, then pointed to the short and thin man and said, "This is the magistrate of Kong County, Lu County."

The short and thin county magistrate Kong quickly stepped forward and bowed respectfully, saying: "Lu County magistrate Kong Wen, see the prince."

Han He waved his hand indifferently and said straightforwardly: "Mr. Kong County Magistrate, have you brought the food and supplies needed by the army?"

"Report to the prince, the food and grass in the city have been brought in all the food and grass." The magistrate Kong said hurriedly, "Just outside the tent, please ask the prince to count it."

Han He nodded happily, and immediately with Zhao Yan and Shen Tu Jia lifted the tent, but saw more than a dozen ox carts parked outside the tent. Han He couldn't help frowning. There were only a dozen cars, and only three hundred stones were left to death. Even if it was cooked into porridge, it would not be enough for each of the 100,000 troops to drink a sip. What can it do? Han He said coldly: "Mr. Kong County Magistrate, that's all?!"

The magistrate Kong sighed and replied with a dim expression: "Crown Prince, that's all."

"Kong Wen! Do you dare to fool this prince?" Han He was furious, "Go back immediately and fight again?"

"Crown Prince!" The magistrate of Kong County knelt down on the ground and said tragically, "Crown Prince, where are the people who have no food to collect!"

"I don't care about this prince. In short, before the army sets in the future, you must remove the military rations into the camp. Five thousand stones are not allowed to be less than a stone. Hum!" After that, Han He immediately stepped into the tent. Zhao Yan, who was beside him, wanted to persuade him a few words, but he stumbled on his lips, but in the end he didn't say anything. Where is the Qi army short of food? (To be continued)
