"Interesting, interesting, this should be the strongest general I have ever seen in only one talent attribute, facing an opponent who is not lower than his own basic strength can add 15 points of force by relying on a talent attribute, even if he faces an opponent who is lower than his own basic strength, he can also add 12 points."

"The maximum force can reach 120 or even 121, and the lowest force is 117, which is indeed a good helper for Xiang Yu."

Liu Wei couldn't help but think that he felt that Shi Wansui's appearance could prevent Xiang Yu from being overly besieged.

Just like Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Yu Juluo, and Ju Wuba in Jingzhou attacked Xiang at the same time, as long as Shi Wansui dragged one person, Xiang Yu could completely resist the other four people.

This is Liu Wei's confidence in Xiang Yu, after all, the ten generals under him fought against Li Yuanba and let Li Yuanba escape, and his subordinates lost many generals, among which it was the white horse and silver spear Gao Siji.

Of course, with the current background of Liu Bian, not to mention the ten generals, Li Cunxiao, Yuwen Chengdu, Gao Chong, and Zhao Yun can completely win Li Yuanba, even Xiang Yu can also win it.

After finishing thinking about Shi Wansui, Liu Wei went to Zhao Feiyan's bedroom, had a spring breeze with Zhao Feiyan, and then fell asleep with Zhao Feiyan's upright and heavy sleep.

……

The next morning,

Xiang Liang recruited Fang Xuanling, Zhou Yafu, Ji Bu, Shi Wansui, Xiang Zhuang and others.

"General, you!"

Looking at Xiang Liang's appearance, everyone was very surprised.

At this time, Xiang Liang was very haggard, his face was bloodless, his eyes were bloodshot, his eye sockets were covered with black lines, and his hair was messy, it was obvious that Xiang Liang had not slept all night.

However, in later generations, this situation is normal, and the reason why Xiang Liang has this situation is not because his body is not as good as that of young people in later generations, of course, even if Xiang Liang is in his forties and nearly fifty years old, his health is better than most young people.

The reason why this is so is because he is too tired from a big battle during the day, and he is thinking and entangled all night, and his energy is too badly depleted.

"General Xiang, you!"

Fang Xuanling had already guessed the reason why Xiang Liang had become like this, and he couldn't help but be a little worried.

"No problem!"

Xiang Liang waved his hand to signal everyone not to worry.

"After seeing the damage of the army last night, I thought about it all night, it is not easy for my Xiang clan to develop so far, these brothers have all come with me, licking blood on the knife edge together, they are friends of the Xiang clan, brothers, I can't hurt them because of myself." Xiang Liang said to himself.

"Is General Xiang planning to withdraw his troops?"

Fang Xuanling couldn't help the curiosity in his heart, and asked, the reason why he asked was because he had waited too long for this news, even if he had already guessed it, he still couldn't help but ask.

"That's right, I've decided to withdraw my troops, and I don't want to see my brethren die on the battlefield for my heart's desire."

Xiang Liang's words carried a hint of repentance, as if he was really regretting his original decision.

"I don't know what General Xiang's plans are?"

Zhou Yafu asked,

"I don't have a specific plan, I have no plan, so I can only make a decision first."

Xiang Liang shook his head, this decision was made after thinking about it all night, and he had no clue about the plan to retreat.

"With all due respect, it is better to retreat sooner rather than later, preferably today, and tomorrow at the latest." Zhou Yafu said in a solemn voice.

"But the soldiers are very tired, and some of them are injured!" Ji Bu's face was a little bad, of course it was not aimed at Zhou Yafu, but he was a little worried.

"I agree with what General Zhou said, first, our army has suffered heavy losses and many wounded, and the same is true for the enemy, so our army can take advantage of the opportunity for the enemy army to recuperate and recuperate, and open the distance between the two armies in advance and get rid of the enemy army. The second and most important point is ......"

Fang Xuanling paused for a moment, and then continued to speak,

"After this battle, the gap between the strength of our army and Cao Ren's army is even greater, and it is a matter of time before we retreat, Cao Ren must also know that Cao Ren must have sent someone to monitor our army's camp, once our army retreats, Cao Ren will definitely lead his troops and horses to catch up, and the generals should understand that the retreat of the army, the morale of the soldiers, and the fighting spirit will inevitably decline, and the Cao army can completely eat away at the men and horses and morale of our army step by step with the rear of our army, until our army has no more power to resist, and then destroy our army in one fell swoop."

"Sir is right, and I suddenly found out that Cao Hong and Xiahoudun did not show up in the Cao army, in addition to the two of them, the Cao army should have 30,000 troops, if my expectations are correct, they should intercept us somewhere."

Xiang Liang also spoke at this time, to say that this night's thinking really made Xiang Liang understand a lot, and the 30,000 army that did not appear was one of them.

"Our army must retreat as soon as possible, before the enemy is still recuperating and has not yet reacted." Zhou Yafu accentuated his tone and emphasized.

"That's it, leave this matter to General Zhou and Ji Bu, you must remember to be cautious, and try not to make a big move, so as not to be known by the Cao army." Xiang Liang instructed Zhou Yafu and Ji Bu.

"I'll understand!"

Of course, Zhou Yafu and Ji Bu would not refuse this task, and immediately took the order.

……

XIANG Cheng,

"How's it going?" Wang Jian asked,

"Back to General, we have sent out more than a dozen spies, but none of them have come back so far." The adjutant general hesitated for a moment before replying.

"This is to be expected, don't send people out then." Wang Jian didn't react much, if there was, it was sad in his heart that more than a dozen soldiers had gone and never returned.

"No!"

"Is there any movement in that Cao army?" Wang Jian asked again.

"Since the defeat in the confrontation with our army that day, there has been no movement." The adjutant replied.

At the beginning, Wang Jian set the goal of rushing to Xiangcheng in five days, and he did it in four days, and fortunately he did it, because the next day, Cao Hong and Xiahoudun brought people here.

What followed was inevitably a big battle, although it was not fierce, but the losses on both sides were not small, there were thousands of injuries, and the result was, of course, Wang Jian won.

Wang Jian defeated Cao Hong's 30,000 soldiers and horses with 10,000 soldiers and horses, and Cao Hong did not react after a few days now.

"We can't go on like this, we must find an opportunity to take the initiative, not to mention destroying the troops and horses on the other side, at least let them retreat fifty miles." Wang Jian sighed.

"But the other side's strength is three times that of our army." The deputy general exclaimed, he really didn't believe Wang Qian's statement, and it was not ordinarily difficult to defeat 30,000 with 10,000.

"Don't worry, if you don't have a seventy percent certainty of the above, I won't act rashly, it's too critical now." Wang Jian said solemnly.

How Wang Jian didn't know the purpose of Cao Hong's troops and horses, it was nothing more than to intercept the retreating Xiang Liang army, although Xiang Cheng was in his hands, but the army outside the city was eyeing him, and he couldn't get out of the city, but Cao Hong could find an opportunity to intercept Xiang Liang, which was why he wanted to kill the soldiers and horses outside.

"My subordinates understand!"

The deputy general nodded, he still respected Wang Qian, so although he was surprised by the decision made by Wang Qian, he would not oppose it, unless he encountered a particularly obvious mistake or a particularly unreasonable plan.

On the other side, Xiang Liang's army also began to prepare a plan for retreat, and all this people sent by Shan Xiongxin to monitor did not find out.

Of course, it was not that they were incompetent, but for the retreat, Zhou Yafu made preparations in advance, and he also sent people to clear the enemy near the barracks, and arranged manpower in almost a radius of ten miles, which also made Shan Xiongxin's people have to retreat.

"Let's start retreating!"

At noon the next day, after the soldiers had lunch, Xiang Liang gave the order to retreat.

The movement of the retreat of the army was relatively large, but fortunately, Zhou Yafu's arrangement was very good, and it was not discovered after the withdrawal of the army.

After the army withdrew, three hours later, the group of people guarding outside the camp also evacuated, and as soon as they withdrew, Cao's men immediately approached the camp of the Xiang army.
