Huan Chu's offensive was defused by Zhang Cang, not surprised, but he did not have the intention of retreating, but became more and more courageous, Zhang Cang was more than fifty years old, his body gradually weakened, and he immediately rode his horse back.

Seeing this, the Han army rushed forward quickly, and the Chu army was not to be outdone, the two soldiers and horses fought together in an instant, and fought fiercely for half an hour, each with casualties, Zhang Cang saw the situation, and no longer fought with it, and immediately Mingjin withdrew his troops and retreated ten miles away.

Huan Chu in case of fraud, did not pursue, this time is not Zhang Cang's weakness, but the trick of luring the enemy, so the battle is invincible, Huan Chu in Xingyang City saw that the Han army retreated, although there was no attack, but there were scouts to observe.

Around noon, Zhang Cang led the army to be stationed ten miles away, and Xiahou Ying had already been ambushed on the left and right, in Xingyang City, Huan Chu thought that he had won in the morning, and he was in a good mood, so he drank in the mansion.

But he still paid more attention to the movements of the Han army, and when he heard that a scout came to report, Huan Chu immediately invited him into the house to ask, and the scout was not ambiguous, and said very calmly: "General Qiyu, the Han army is camped ten miles away, and there is no other move." ”

After hearing this, Huan Chu just paced back and forth in the living room, thinking about it in his heart, thinking that the Han army was sleepy and lacking in the morning battle, thinking that our army was also like this, so he camped ten miles away.

Guessing our army like this, it is considered that Zhang Cang's old man knows the art of war, but there are clouds in ancient times, and he won by surprise, and he led troops to attack the Han army tonight, and the Han army will be destroyed.

Huan Chu made up his mind in his heart, and immediately instructed the deputy general: "Rectify the soldiers, make food for the second watch, and go out of the city to play the Han army for the third watch, so that they will not come back!" ”

The generals had to be ordered not to mention, until the evening, Huan Chu led 5,000 soldiers, and the soldiers who failed to fight at the time of the hour rushed directly to attack the Han army camp, but Zhang Cang had already ordered the soldiers to attack the camp within three days, but he did not expect Huan Chu to attack the camp on the first night, and he really overestimated Huan Chu's resourcefulness.

At this moment, Zhang Cang has already prepared an army in the back camp, and Xiahou Ying's 15,000 men and horses are also in ambush left and right.

Huan Chu led the troops to come at night, and he was overjoyed, and he actually explored the road himself, and when he saw the Han camp in front of him, he rushed over without doubt, but there was no horse among them.

At this moment, Zhang Cang rushed out with the army from the rear camp, just in front of Huan Chu, Huan Chu thought to himself, even if he was ambushed like this, what if it was not the soldiers in the morning, what was there to fear, so he sent troops to rush and kill him.

Zhang Cang was a little dazed on the side, and then went up to meet the battle, Xiahou Ying ambushed left and right, heard the shouting of killing, and knew that it must be the Chu army attacking, and immediately led the army over the hills.

Huan Chu was fighting with Zhang Cang, and suddenly saw that the mountains and fields were full of torches, and he knew the plan in his heart, so he wanted to lead the army to return the same way, but the matter had come to this, Xiahou Ying was in the rear, and Huan Chu couldn't escape even if he had wings.

As a result, Huan Chu and 5,000 men and horses were all killed ten miles east of Xingyang, Zhang Cang saw that Huan Chu was dead, and immediately ordered Xiahou Ying to lead the men and horses to attack the city, and he stayed here to take care of the wounded.

The soldiers in Xingyang City had all fallen asleep, and the only few Chu soldiers in the city gate tower saw a fire approaching Xingyang in the distance, and they didn't know whether it was Chu or Han.

When Xiahou Ying's army arrived, although the Chu army reacted, the cloud ladder had been erected, so that the Chu army was also more than capable of strength, and most of the Chu army surrendered to Han.

But in one night, Xingyang City was returned to the Han King, Xiang Yu had already dispatched people and horses to Chenggao at this moment, and now he had not arrived in Chenggao, and suddenly heard that Huan Chu was killed, Xingyang was lost, and he was not shocked.

Immediately stationed in Chen County, I don't know where to go, so I convened the ministers to discuss, and the only generals under Xiang Yu today are Zhong Liwu, Ji Bu, Zhou Lan, Xiang Zhuang, Xiang Bo and others.

Xiang Yu was in the first place, his face was embarrassed, "Now that Xingyang is occupied by the Han army, what should we do?" Is it to send troops to Chenggao, or to retake Xingyang? ”

Ji Bu frowned slightly beside him, "King Qiyu, it seems that it is better to capture Xingyang, this is where Liu Bang is born, and at this moment, Xingyang has just been occupied, and everything has not been resolved, so it is the easiest to capture." ”

When Xiang Yu heard this, he looked left and right, "What do the generals think?" Have any other ideas? However, no one spoke, so Xiang Yu listened to Ji Bu's words and turned to attack Xingyang.

Xingyang offense and defense alternately not mentioned, and said that the Chu general Sima Long led 100,000 soldiers to the rescue of Qi, this army can be said to be the main force of Chu.

It is precisely because Long He is brave and good at fighting that Xiang Yu is willing to hand over this army to Long He to lead, and now the situation of Qi is relatively disadvantaged.

Tian Guang was surrounded in Gaomi, and the flies couldn't fly out, and now he heard that the Chu army was coming, and he was a little imposing, but he still didn't dare to act rashly.

Han Xin seemed to let Tian Guang leave, it was night, he deliberately retreated all the way to the line, thinking that Tian Guang was greedy for life and afraid of death, he would definitely seize the opportunity to leave, so Gao Mi was at his fingertips.

Everything seemed to be expected, Tian Guang heard that Han Xin had left a way to survive in Gaomi, and he was overjoyed, so he convened his ministers to discuss what to do.

Which of these ministers is not greedy for life and afraid of death, I heard that Gaomi had a way out, and immediately begged the king to leave the city, saying that he was very indignant, and he would die in the city, so it was better to go out and fight to the death with Han Xin.

Tian Guang saw that the minister was so familiar with current affairs, and he also nodded, and led more than 2,000 soldiers to discuss it outside Gaomi that night, except for some children of his own family, all the ministers almost disappeared when they left the city.

Outside Gaomi, Han Xin heard in the camp that Tian Guang had abandoned the city and fled, and he was overjoyed, and immediately led his troops to occupy Gaomi, so that three-quarters of the land in Qi was occupied by Han Xin.

The results of the war against Qi seem to be the same as those of Zhao, they are all captured by force, but in fact, the main method of Qi occupation is still modeled on Yan State, and Han Xin just captured the royal capital.

There are two relatively large cities in the Qi country, one is the royal capital, and the other is Linzi, Linzi is occupied by Lu Yan, so the king of Qi moved to the royal capital, and now the two cities are subordinate to the king of Han.

Therefore, other cities did not resist, as long as the Han army arrived, all of them were surrendered to Kaicheng, and more than 70 cities, only dozens of them were captured by the Han army.

Moreover, at that time, the Qi State had surrendered to the Han army, and all the forces could not be gathered together, which also allowed Han Xin to break through and fight separately.

Gossip is not to be said, Han Xin occupied Gaomi without mentioning, and after seeing that Tian Guang escaped from it, Han Xin did not send anyone to pursue, after all, the Chu army came, and Tian Guang wanted to recover his homeland, so he had to take refuge in Longhe.

Han Xin let him escape, and he had long expected that Tian Guang and Chu would merge together, and when the time came, he could completely break it in one fell swoop, and the province would go back and forth and cause trouble.

After Tian Guang came out, he was also afraid that Han Xin would chase him, so he led his troops to flee south, and sure enough, he met Long Ji's army on the road, and he was overjoyed.

In the Chu camp, Long He heard that the King of Qi was coming, and hurriedly went out of the tent to greet him, asking about Qi and the land, and the King of Qi saw Long Ji, he was really happy and cried, and he couldn't speak for a long time, so he had to let him rest for half an hour.
