"Go back!"

At this moment, Li Zuoche suddenly discovered that no matter how far this war went, Emperor Huhai of Qin had an absolute advantage.

This time, the joint attack of the Shandong countries against Qin is not of much significance at all, if the coalition forces cannot break through the Hangu Pass and sweep through the pass, everything will be empty.

After all, the Great Qin Empire only has no major problems, and although the Qin army is pouring out, it is a local battle.

This means that as long as it is in the same situation, the Qin army's contribution will be about half.

Once the war stalemate, not only is there a shortage of food and grass, but also the morale of the army is weakened.

The thought flickered in his heart, Li Zuoche was born in a famous family, and his loyalty to Zhao was far above that of King Zhao.

As long as the Zhao State is not destroyed, Li Zuoche can do anything. After all, the feelings of family and country are even more important for these famous families.

"Sima of the Chinese army, ordered the army to retreat to Handan ——!" After half a ring, Li Zuoche finally made a decision.

He knew in his heart that no matter what, the whole army must be mobilized, and if the troops were divided, it would not be enough to rescue Handan's predicament.

The siege of Handan, Li Zuoche also knew in detail, and the army in the hands of Emperor Qin and Sima Qingshan together was no less than 60,000.

Moreover, this army is all elite iron cavalry, and it is also one of the best elites in the Great Qin Empire who have been on the battlefield.

This army, during his withdrawal, will definitely not defend itself, once the troops are divided, they will inevitably be broken by Emperor Qin.

Thinking of this, Li Zuoche led the entire army back to Handan with a more resolute mind.

He knew in his heart that as long as he returned to Handan, Zhao would have a chance to start over, and if he didn't withdraw his troops, after this battle, Zhao would definitely perish.

"General, the king is still in the shogunate of the Chinese army, once our army withdraws back to Handan, I'm afraid that King Xiang will be unfavorable to the king!"

Zhongjun Sima was worried in his heart, he knew in his heart that with the character of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, a Zhao army withdrawing, he would inevitably be angry with King Zhao.

"Pass my order, and all the consequences will be borne by Ben General!" Li Zuoche's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he resolutely ordered, saying.

In his opinion, between King Zhao and Zhao Guo, he can only choose Zhao Guo.

If King Zhao is not there, King Zhao can still be re-established, but if Zhao is not there, even if there is King Zhao, what can he do.

In any case, Li Zuoche was loyal to the State of Zhao, not just the King of Zhao.

"Only ——!" Seeing that Li Zuoche was resolute, Sima of the Chinese army did not say much.

After all, in war, the commanders of the three armies often have great power, and sometimes even the king of a country does not dare to take the lead!

At this moment, Li Zuoche commanded all the troops of Zhao State, but King Zhao was a bare-bones commander, and he was even imprisoned by the overlord of Western Chu.

At this time, any decision made by Li Zuoche will affect the trend of Zhao Guo and even the whole world.

.......

If the major forces are stuck today, any move will cause boundless turmoil and change the general trend.

With Sanchuan County as the center, there were countless scouts from various countries, and Li Zuoche had just withdrawn his troops, and the news immediately spread to the major forces.

......

Before Huanyuan Pass.

The battlefield was in shambles, and Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, and Wang Ben, the general, had been fighting for half a month.

Each other gave full play to their talents, and fought more than a dozen games, each with a victory or defeat.

On the battlefield, countless people have fallen, countless people have become disabled, but this war has only just begun.

Both Xiang Yu and the kings of Shandong know this. Things have developed to this point, and they are already riding a tiger.

"Your Majesty, the scouts have news that Emperor Qin personally led a large army to break through Ye County and besiege Handan!"

"At the same time, the Shanggu Qin army is moving south, breaking through Hengshan County, and is marching in the direction of Handan!"

"At the same time, General Li Zuoche led the army back to Handan, in the direction of Yangcheng, and the Qin army had no way to contain it!"

......

Hearing this, Xiang Yu's brows furrowed, and he looked at King Zhao on the side, and said to King Zhao on the side.

"King Zhao, do you want to give an explanation to this king and the kings in this matter, Zhao Guo blatantly reneged on the contract, putting the coalition army in danger!"

Xiang Yu's eyes were cold, and his tone was murderous, at this time, he was also clear that King Zhao was not to blame for this matter.

But as the commander of the three armies, he must give an explanation to the other kings, otherwise the morale of the coalition army will be unstable immediately.

"King Xiang is angry, Xiao Wang doesn't know about this matter, he just found out about ——!"

King Zhao was happy in his heart, but he didn't show anything on his face, he knew that in the position of the coalition army, he had indeed broken the covenant.

At this moment, he must give an explanation to the kings of Shandong, otherwise it is equivalent to Zhao Guo turning over the whole world at once.

At that time, not only the Great Qin Empire wanted to annex Zhao, but even the Shandong States would not give up annexation.

This is tantamount to self-isolation from the world!

"King Xiang, as well as the kings, Handan is in a hurry, the sovereignty of the three armies is all under the head of General Li, even if this king wants to give an order, he can't reach it!"

"I, the Zhao Kingdom and the Shandong Kingdoms, advance and retreat together, how can this king break the contract, which is tortuous, please also ask the kings to learn from it!"

The reason why King Zhao bowed his head was not only because of the breach of the contract. He knew in his heart that if he did not bow his head at this time, the angry kings would even kill him.

"Hoo ——!"

With a long breath, Xiang Yu's sharp gaze swept across everyone's faces, word by word, and said.

"This matter will be suppressed first, and then dealt with last, and now the Qin army in the direction of Yangcheng has lost its containment!"

"And once Li Zuoche returns to Zhaodi, the 60,000 troops in the hands of Emperor Hu Hai of Qin can return to Sanchuan County!"

"In this way, General Qin will increase the number of 100,000 elite iron cavalry, which will be greatly disadvantageous to the coalition army!"

Speaking of this, Xiang Yu's eyes moved and said, "What do you think about this matter?" ”

Nowadays, war is no longer a matter of gaining or losing a city or a place, but any war that has a bearing on a country's national fortunes will often last for several years.

Just like the Battle of Changping back then!

"King Xiang, now that the coalition forces have all been put into the battlefield, the retreat of the Zhao army has greatly reduced the strength of our army."

"If the Qin army is joining a new force of 100,000 people, the situation on the battlefield will change dramatically!"

There was a hint of madness in Liu Ji's eyes, he looked at Xiang Yu and said, "Now that Emperor Qin is far away in Zhaodi, in the opinion of this king, he should use his army to defeat Wang Ben in one fell swoop!" ”

"Once our army defeats the main force of the Qin army before Hu Hai arrives, even if it is 100,000 elite iron cavalry, it will not be able to change the outcome!"

......

"What the king of Liaodong said is even, as long as Wang Ben is defeated and Sanchuan County is occupied when Hu Hai arrives, everything is still in the hands of our army!"

At this time, Jiujiang Wang Yingbu also agreed, and he felt that Liu Ji's method was the only feasible strategy at present.
