Pengcheng is the capital of the Chu army, which is by no means generally comparable, and has too deep an impact on the officers and soldiers of the Chu army.

Only by taking Pengcheng, this Chu army led by Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, will occupy the righteousness and wake up the people of Chu.

……

With the continuous defeat and retreat of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, the people of Chu have long since disappeared, and they no longer have the vigor of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, when he divided the princes of the Eighteen Roads.

The biggest reason why the prince of Chu agreed to the suggestion of the division and the army did not take Pengcheng bloodlessly was that Pengcheng had a unique meaning in the minds of the people of Chu.

Taking Pengcheng has a different meaning for Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu.

……

Han army camp.

This war dragged on to this point, and for Liu Ji, the king of Han, it was simply a lose-lose situation. The pain in my heart is clear only to myself.

He did force his biggest enemy, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, to retreat, and he was close to the destruction of Western Chu. But in this war, the price paid by the Han army was too great.

Guan Ying died in battle, Fan Xu was killed, and the 200,000 Han army fought so far, there are only 100,000 left.

Not to mention anything else, with this alone, the Han army has already suffered heavy losses. Not to mention Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, killed Zhou Chang in Wuguan and shook Guanzhong.

The water caused turmoil in Guanzhong, and it can be said that in this war, the loss of Liu Ji, the king of Han, is probably too different even compared to Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu.

The casualties of the Han army made Liu Ji, the king of Han, angry, because he knew in his heart that Guanzhong was broken by Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, and it was a scourge, which meant that the Han state could not recover in a short time.

This was a great pain for Liu Ji, the king of Han who wanted to annihilate Western Chu in one fell swoop.

……

Because of this, Liu Ji, the king of Han, was extremely entangled in his heart at this moment, and whether to retreat or not to retreat has become an imminent problem at this moment.

It can be said that he can't think about it carefully!

……

"Ofan, what do you think of the confrontation between Han Xin, the king of Qi, and Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu?"

Liu Ji, the king of Han, has an advantage, that is, if he doesn't understand, he will definitely seek advice, and he is rarely as arbitrary as the overlord of Western Chu.

Because of this, a large number of people with lofty ideals have been brought together, and the famous name of Liu Ji, the king of the Han Dynasty, has been achieved.

……

Hearing this, Zhang Liang's brows furrowed, his gaze always stayed on the map, and he never left for a moment.

"Your Majesty, although Han Xin, the king of Qi, uses soldiers like a god, he is not much stronger than Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu."

"Besides, this is the land of Chu, and Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, has a high prestige in the eyes of the people of Chu, and occupies a favorable location and people, while our army only occupies the time of heaven."

A touch of melancholy flashed in Zhang Liang's eyes, and he knew in his heart that since Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, and Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, broke through under the wall.

The situation in the world has changed rapidly, and although Liu Ji, the king of Han, still has the trend of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, there is no longer the general trend that sweeps the world.

At this time, staying in Jiangdong is not a long-term solution!

After being silent for a while, Zhang Liang turned his head to look at Liu Ji, the king of Han, and said, "Your Majesty, Xichu cannot be removed quickly, and we must not continue to stay in Jiangdong. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Liang pointed to the map and said, "Your Majesty, please see, this is the place where our army is encamped, and it is too close to Western Chu." ”

"Especially at this moment, the coalition forces have retreated except for our army and the Qi army, which has led to a great reduction in the strength of the coalition forces."

"In this way, with Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, with his prestige in Chu, it is impossible for Western Chu to be eliminated quickly!"

"Especially the latest news that the minister got that Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, appeared in Lou Fu, killed the Lou Fu tribe, and completely appeared in the Central Plains."

"It can be seen from this that it is a foregone conclusion that Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, will go south to Jiangdong, and even if our army stops it, there is nothing we can do."

……

Hearing this, Han King Liu Ji's expression changed slightly, and his eyes turned with Zhang Liang's fingers, and his heart became heavier and heavier.

Because he is clear, with his own leadership of the army, he can't kill Chu Prince Xiang Tian at all, even if Zhou Bo leads the army, I'm afraid he is not the opponent of Chu Prince Xiang Tian.

The thought flickered in his heart, and Liu Ji, the king of Han, suddenly discovered that Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, had risen and become an existence that no one could ignore.

"Now Han Xin, the king of Qi, is being dragged by Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, and he is too busy to take care of himself and cannot support our army. Once Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, goes south, the direction of the troops will be a rout. ”

There was a solemnity in Zhang Liang's eyes, and he knew in his heart that the Han army must not have any more accidents now, otherwise Guanzhong would be unstable.

"Once our army is defeated again, I am afraid that there will be an accident in the old Qin family in Guanzhong, and it will inevitably shake the country's foundation at that time."

……

Zhang Liang's words were a bit understated, as if he didn't care about all this, but Liu Ji, the king of Han, knew in his heart that Zhang Liang's worries were not unreasonable.

He is not like Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, who has had a very high prestige in Chu for generations, he is just a lucky person in this troubled era, rising as a commoner and ruling a country.

He believes that there must be many people in the Han Kingdom who are dissatisfied with him, and in the past, because of the suppression of the Han army, it will seem calm.

At this moment, the more Han King Liu Ji thought about it, the more terrifying he felt, and even made him feel a sense of horror.

"Ofan, what do you think our army should do now?"

Raising his head and glancing at Liu Ji, the king of Han, Zhang Liang could see his unwillingness, but the situation in the world was like this, even if he was unwilling, he had to make a decision at this time.

"Withdraw the troops back to Guanzhong!"

Zhang Liang's eyes flashed with a fierce color, he looked at Liu Ji, the king of Han, and said word by word.

"Your Majesty, it has been five years since Chu and Han fought for hegemony, and at this time the Central Plains was full of devastation, and now all countries are recuperating, and we will never spend energy on Jiangdong."

"Today's Xichu is no longer the original Xichu, and there will be no threat to our country for at least a long time."

"At this time, the most important thing for our country to defend is no longer Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, but Han Xin, the king of Qi!"

……

"Boom!"

This sentence was like a thunderclap, making Liu Ji, the king of Han, realize that the biggest enemy of the Han Kingdom today is his former ally.

He is aware of the ability of Han Xin, the king of Qi, and the wealth of Qidi, in this era, the three best places, one is Guanzhong, one is Chudi, and the other is Qidi.

It can be said that whoever occupies these three places will seize the opportunity in this battle for hegemony among the princes.

Similarly, these three places are all places that are enough to achieve the cause of the emperor, and now Chu is devastated by the coalition army, and Guanzhong is a mess destroyed by Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu.

At this time, the only one who had not experienced the chaos of war was Qi Di, coupled with the command ability of Han Xin, the king of Qi, who was invincible and invincible.

Thinking of this, Han King Liu Ji's head was full of cold sweat.
