One thing Liu Bang is right, Xiang Yu really didn't plan to stay in Chen, the current Chu army has become a lone army, as long as Han Xin, Peng Yue and Yingbu send troops, Pengcheng will be impossible to hold! Jib and his troops were bound to be crippled. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Only by retreating to the south of the Wujiang River as soon as possible, and relying on his many years of operation in Jiangdong, can Xiang Yu have the opportunity to regain his strength and fully confront the Han army. However, this lone army has no food, grass, support, and base, can they still return to Jiangdong?

Xiang Yu was stationed under Chen, but secretly summoned the army to arrange a retreat. This time the infantry went first, and the cavalry held back, controlling the Han army not to pursue. The route of the march is very clear, passing through the [City Father], going straight to the Xiaxia, and then rushing to cross the Wujiang River. As long as the Wujiang River is crossed, even if all the Han troops gather under the wall, Xiang Yu is not afraid.

The reason is very simple - Xiang Yu is either afraid that the Han army will gather, or that the Han army will be too scattered! Why? Because if the Han army is too scattered, Xiang Yu will not have the strength to break through one by one; If the Han army gathers together, Xiang Yu can rely on his combat power, tricks and courage to try to solve all problems in a decisive battle.

Therefore, shrinking the front is Xiang Yu's only choice at this time, with inferior forces, he will finish his work in one battle, which is exactly what Xiang Yu likes, is best at, and most exciting war. If we can repeat the battle of the giant deer and the battle of Pengcheng, how perfect it would be! At this time, Xiang Yu was not afraid at all, but was full of expectations for the confrontation on the Wujiang River and the decisive battle under the wall!

Everyone didn't expect that this time Liu Bang was really unpredictable, and when he got up the next day, there was not a single ghost in the Chu army on the periphery of Chen. All the Chu troops, like evaporating from the world, disappeared without a trace! Liu Bang looked at the empty Chu army camp in Chenxia City Tower, laughed, and almost didn't catch his breath! Zhang Liang, Chen Ping, Xiahou Ying, Zhou Bo, [Fan Hao] and others bowed together and congratulated in unison: "King Han is really a clever plan!" True gods and men too! Liu Bang was very useful, and said flutteringly: "Xiang Yu Xiaoer, let you fly away, and don't want to escape the net I laid for you!" Xiahou Ying was more upright, and asked ignorantly: "Boss, shall we chase or not?" Liu Bang stretched out his middle finger, snapped his fingers on his head, and said angrily: "You are stupid! If you want to chase after yourself, you haven't been hurt in Guling City last time?! We just need to march slowly and bite the Chu army! This decisive battle, let Han Xin personally command, and let Comrade Xiao Han be in the limelight! Zhang Liang, Chen Ping, Xiahou Ying, Zhou Bo, [Fan Xu] and others bowed together and praised in unison: "King Han is really clever!" Hell! ”

● Encircled in all directions, a big debate between the wolves and the tigers

October of the fifth year of the Han Dynasty. The soldiers of the world gathered along the Huaishui River. Xiang Yu continued to lead the army to retreat in the direction of Qixia, to see what happened in various parts of the Chu State during this period?

Han Xin, the king of Qi, led an army of 300,000 troops from Qi to the south, occupying Pengcheng, the capital of Chu, and today's northern Jiangsu, northern Anhui, eastern Henan and other vast areas, and the front of the troops pointed directly at the flank of the Chu army, attacking Xiang Yu from east to west; Jibu was defeated and fled, and his army surrendered.

Peng Yue, the king of Liang, led an army of 50,000 from Liangdi, first to the south and then to the west, and together with the Han army under Liu Bang's headquarters, he forced the Chu army to retreat.

Han general Liu Jia led an army of 50,000 with Huainan Wang Yingbu, a total of 100,000 troops, starting from Huaibei, launching an attack on Chu from the southwest, first conquering Shouchun, and then attacking the city father and slaughtering all the soldiers and civilians in this city! However, the Chu general Sima Zhou Yin, who was guarding the southern front, betrayed the Chu State at this time, first slaughtered the six counties, and then joined forces with Yingbu and Liu Jia, and then went north to attack Xiang Yu! At the same time, Liu Bang, who was supplemented by the soldiers of Guanzhong, led 250,000 Han troops from his headquarters to Guling and marched eastward; Pass through the city father and slaughter the city father's army and civilians! Continue to advance towards the mound.

The Han army's five-way army, totaling nearly 700,000 people, formed a situation of encircling the Chu army from the west, north, southwest, and northeast, and Xiang Yu was forced to lead 80,000 Chu troops to retreat.

In December of the fifth year of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang, Han Xin, Liu Jia, Peng Yue, Yingbu and other five-way armies basically completed the encirclement of the 80,000 Chu army in Qixia (now Lingbi South, Anhui, now Huaiyang, Luyi, Henan). Liu Bang immediately appointed Han Xin as the commander of the coalition forces and commanded the army to fight. Han Xin ordered Liu Jia and the Yingbu army to close all the peripheral routes of the Chu army from the south, and ordered the Peng Yue army to close the passage from the north, and Han Xin's army of 300,000 and the main force of the Han army of Liu Bang's headquarters were combined to launch a general attack on the Chu army trapped in the wall and start a decisive battle!

The Chu State Mansion will fall, and the army will be defeated like a mountain! Almost all the princes and generals saw that Xiang Yu was at the end of his rope! The true face of the Han army was also exposed, and wherever they passed, all those who encountered the stubborn resistance of the Chu army were slaughtered and killed!
