Twenty miles south of the confluence of Danshui and Hanshui, the soldiers of the Qin army saw that Dankou was not far away, and they also hurried with all their strength.

At this time, a scout came to report: "General, the spies are coming to report, the place of Dankou is empty, and there is no trace of the Chu army." ”

Gan Mao's heart was relieved, and then he hurriedly asked: "Have you ever investigated the surrounding area, is there an ambush by the Chu army?" ”

The scout responded: "Back to the general, the spies have already gone to investigate, and another spy is investigating the traces of the Chu army to Danshui." ”

"Good!" He was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered: "Order, the army will speed up!" ”

"No."

Ten miles after the trip, another spy came to report: "Report... General, fifteen miles north of Dankou, a large number of Chu troops were found, and they were hurrying towards Dankou. ”

When Zhu Liji and Gan Mao heard that they had found the traces of the Chu army, the stone in their hearts suddenly fell to the ground, and at the same time they breathed a sigh of relief. The two glanced at each other, and then ordered: "The Chu army is in the north of the Han River, and it is difficult to threaten us in the south of the Han River. ”

"No."

Not long after, when most of the Qin army passed through Dankou, Yuli saw Gongsun Yan's general banner on the other side, and couldn't help but lament: "It's a pity that my 30,000 Qin warriors died in Chu State." It's a pity that the doorman Li Tong originally planned to recommend him to the king after this battle, but he didn't want to, let him fall into the Chu State, I'm afraid there will be no day to see each other again! ”

At the same time, Gongsun Yan was silent for a long time while watching the Qin army on the north bank that was rapidly moving westward on the south bank.

It wasn't until all the Qin troops passed through Dankou that Jing Que on Gongsun Yan's side sighed and said: "General, if our army advances day and night, even if it is an extra half an hour every morning and evening, the Qin army will inevitably be captured by me!" ”

Saying that, Jing Que shook his head and said, "It's a pity, it's a pity, it's hateful!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Jing Que bowed with regret on his face and said: "General, I am unwell and ask to attack Wudang County to rest." ”

There are six counties under the rule of Shangyong County of Chu State, of which five counties are west of Yunguan in Shangyong Pass, and only Wudang County near Dankou is east of Yunguan. Now that the Qin army has retreated to the upper mediocrity, Wudang County is within reach.

It's just that when Gongsun Yan heard Jing Que's request, he didn't immediately agree, but looked at Jing Que for a long time without saying a word, and saw that his face never changed, so he nodded after all, and responded: "Okay, since the general took the initiative to ask for his life, the general asked the general to lead the army of his headquarters to attack Wudang, and then garrison Wudang to guard against the Qin State, and wait for the king's edict at any time." ”

"No!" Jing Que bowed, then turned and walked away.

At this time, Zhuang Ji's face was a little unnatural and said: "General, General Jing Que is just..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Gongsun Yan raising his hand.

"General Zhuang Ji doesn't have to explain to General Jing Que, General Ben naturally knows!"

Zhuang Ji opened his mouth, but before he could speak, a scout quickly ran to Gongsun Yan's side and reported: "General, twenty miles south of Hanshui, we found an army of 60,000 led by Yin Jun and Ying Jun, and they are rushing here. ”

Gongsun Yan nodded, and then ordered: "Send the order to them, just say that the Qin army has retreated, and the general has not been able to intercept it in time, so they don't have to continue to move forward, and immediately lead the army to the south to prepare to clean up all the remnants of the Qin State in northern Han." ”

"No!"

Then, a messenger came to the front and reported: "General, I have come to report on the order of Xiangyang Shou that the 60,000 troops in Xiangyang have surrounded the 30,000 troops of the Qin State, please show the general." ”

Gongsun Yan showed a burst of joy when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Tell Xiangyang Shou that the retreat of the Qin army has been broken, and let him immediately recruit the Qin army." ”

"No."

After a pause, Gongsun Yan raised his head and looked at the east, and then sighed long: "This battle is finally over. ”

The other side.

After Yin Jun and Ying Jun received Gongsun Yan's order, they were stunned for a moment, and then showed two completely different expressions.

Ying Jun's face was sluggish, and he really didn't react for a long time.

When Yin Jun heard that there was no need to chase and kill the Qin army, his expression was relieved, and he let out a long breath.

The matter of chasing and killing the Qin army was very reluctant from the moment he received the military order, not because of anything else, or because the army in his hands was seriously insufficient. The 30,000 army in his hands was half of the rout army that had retreated from the Danxi defense line, and the other half was a rabble recruited by Yingdu for the second time, and then experienced the rumor that the king of Chu had abandoned the north of Yingdu and planned to defend Yingdu.

At that time, the people in the army were panicked, and they had no will to fight, and although Yin Jun tried his best to appease, he barely managed to maintain the army without a large-scale escape.

When he received Gongsun Yan asking him to go north to pursue and kill the Qin army, the defenders of Yancheng almost collapsed directly.

If it weren't for the fact that the Qin army had really retreated before it reached Xiangyang, Yin Jun was still worried that when the 30,000 army came to Xiangyang, I was afraid that a large number of soldiers would flee.

Just thinking about it, Yin Jun suddenly heard a frightened exclamation in his ears at this time.

Then he turned his head to look, but saw that Jiulijun and the others had bloodless faces, and they were emitting bursts of sorrow.

"The rhino head didn't intercept the Qin army, he didn't intercept the Qin army, and the Qin army retreated, how should this be good?"

Yin Jun listened to Jiuli Jun and the others muttering in despair, and couldn't help frowning, isn't it better that the Qin army retreats to mediocrity, and the two armies don't have to fight?

Thinking about it, Yin Jun asked Ying Jun beside him: "Ying Jun, Jiuli Jun, why are they, even if they want to seek revenge from Qin Jun, they don't have to be like this!" ”

Ying Jun shook his head slightly when he heard this, and then sighed and said the request of the King of Chu.

As soon as Yin Jun heard that Jiulijun and they were very likely to be considered ineffective by the king because they did not break out a decisive battle with the Qin army, and the whole clan would be demoted to concubines, he looked at Jiulijun and them with pity.

They are completely finished, even if the king is merciful and thinks that the responsibility for not fighting hard is not on them, but they did not take the head of the Qin general, I am afraid that the best result is just to become ordinary countrymen.

So...

Yin Jun thought about it, and couldn't help but rejoice in his heart.

Fortunately, he ran fast at the beginning, otherwise, the fate of Yin Jun would not be much better.

At this time, Ying Jun saw Jiulijun and the others showing despair, and suddenly remembered that the 30,000 Qin troops who were still surrounded in the south came, and couldn't help but say: "Jiulijun, things still have a turnaround, there are still 30,000 Qin troops in the south, and more than a dozen Qin will be surrounded by Qu Yuan, if all these people are killed, then the Qin generals will have more than enough heads!" ”

When Jiulijun and the others heard this, their spirits immediately perked up...

Hanshui Qin Camp.

Li Tong sent Qu Yuan's envoy to persuade him to surrender, summoned all the generals over, and said: "Everyone, the Chu people came to persuade them to surrender, I don't know what the monarchs think?" ”

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other, and then one of them hesitated: "The prime minister asked me to wait for the decision, but it was inappropriate for me to surrender without a fight." ”

"No, calculate the time, the prime minister has returned to the mediocre at this time, and my duties after the break have been completed."

"If the prime minister is blocked by Gongsun Yan, then if we surrender, won't we put the prime minister to death?"

Everyone was arguing in the camp for a long time, and suddenly, a scout ran in and reported: "General, it's not good, the Chu army that went upstream on the north bank has returned." ”

Everyone was stunned, and the Chu army returned south, which showed that the battle between Qin and Chu was over, and it also showed that their task after the break was completed.

Then, everyone came to the shore and saw a large force of Chu troops returning from the north shore.

At the same time, the dense rafts on the north bank showed that the Chu army did not seem to have much patience to wait for them to surrender, but could attack at any time.

Seeing this, everyone was silent for a long time, and suddenly, one of them spoke: "General, it's better to..."

Li Tong was stunned, thought for a moment, and saw that there were already Chu soldiers on the north bank boarding the raft, and nodded slowly: "Give the order, I'll wait to surrender!" ”
