The two countries are fighting each other.

It is related to the great fortune of the country.

If there is no major deviation, a battle lasts for as little as two or three months, and even more than a year, such as the Battle of Changping of Qin and Zhao, which lasted for two years and six months.

From this point of view, this decisive battle between Qin and Chu, if everything is normal, will last for a long time, however, as far as the current battle situation is concerned, the continuous missteps of the Chu State, especially the ambiguity and vacillation at the decision-making level, gave the Qin army a chance to achieve a quick victory.

Xiang Yu's misjudgment of the chasm war was an important factor.

And the next series of misjudgments of Zhou Yin, Xiang Han and even Chu Xiang Xiang Tuo is another reason, and the reason for these multiple mistakes is that there is a big problem in the appointment of talents in Chu State.

Only Xiang's decision.

Whoever has the surname is a prince.

Under the suppression of the Xiang family, mediocre people such as Xiang Sheng, Xiang Xiang, and Xiang Han were promoted, while the backbone of the Chu State such as Ji Bu and Zhou Yin were gradually excluded and abandoned.

This is the biggest crisis in the state of Chu.

Talent.

It is the decisive factor that determines the rise and fall of shili.

In the new round of competition after the princes competed for power, the Qin State was obviously ahead of the Chu State.

There is no doubt that the local tactical command ability of the overlord Xiang Yu can be called the best choice. Even Li Yuan can't fight against him head-on, because you never know when and in what state Xiang Yu will burst out with formidable combat power.

However, the part and the whole complement each other, and if the local liliang is maximized, it can also affect the direction of the whole; But comparatively speaking, if the overall layout can be comprehensively considered, then the local gains and losses are in a broader range, and it is nothing.

Resourcefulness.

It's the best strategy for dealing with bravery.

In this chasm war. The "three Li" and "one Yan" in the Qin army are all characters who are good at wisdom, and even Li Zhongxiang, who is slightly weaker among them, is also unique in the direction of wisdom, otherwise he would not have immediately decided to return to the army to rescue the Chinese army after discovering the abnormal behavior of the Chu army.

On the main battlefield of the chasm, Li Yuan and Xiang Yu tore apart face-to-face, and at the same time, the area of Chen County and Jiujiang County in the south of Chu State was also changing, becoming another focus of contention between the two sides.

San Li's pre-war plan began to show effect as the Qin army parted to the east of Chen Xian's division.

Chen Xuan, the general of the Qin army who was ordered to send troops to Chen County. was born as a small local prince, and under Liu Bang, the king of the Han Dynasty, Chen Feng also appeared as a semi-independent. After the surrender of Qin, Chen Feng appeared in the battle against Liu Bang and Yingbu, but most of them existed as an auxiliary, and Chen Feng himself did not have many bright spots.

This time, Qin and Chu fought a decisive battle, and Chen Xuan's troops were stationed in the area of Deng County in Nanjun, responsible for guarding a large area left behind after Zhang Ping's army moved west to Hanzhong. It can be regarded as being used as a local county soldier, which makes Chen Xuan feel depressed in his heart, and at this time, the order from the front line of the chasm arrived.

There is no doubt about employing people. Suspects don't need to.

This is Li Yuan's usual principle, Chen Xuan led the men and horses of his headquarters non-stop in only three days and nights, over the Funiu Mountains, which stretched for more than 400 miles, and then passed through Yingchuan County. appeared in the area of Chen County, and at this time, the Qin army, who had already received Yan Le's order, also acted quickly. began to make formal contact with the Chu general Ding Gong and lobby for the return to Qin.

The lobbyist responsible for specific lobbying is also an old acquaintance of Ding Gong, Qin Ren Zhaoping. This former melon grower has always been unable to open the situation in Yingbu, especially after Lu Jia returned to Qin, he felt that he was very faceless, and he bowed Lu Jia in diplomatic matters.

After the fall of Yingbu's Eastern Chu, Zhaoping also had a premonition that there would be a war between Qin and Western Chu, so he resigned from the official position of Qin early and traveled around Chen County and Jiujiang County as a famous traveler.

Hearing that the Qin army of 5,000 troops had been killed from Zhaoping, Ding Gong was taken aback, and hurriedly returned to Chen County to discuss countermeasures with Ji Bu, knowing that the total number of Chu soldiers in the entire Chen County was less than 3,000 people, and most of them were mainly old, weak, sick and disabled.

Originally, if Chen Xuan's marching speed was not so fast, Ding Gong and Ji Bu could still ask for help from other places, especially the Wei State was close ahead, but now that the chasm war was at a critical point, even if they shouted to break the sky, Zhou Yin would not be able to send a single soldier there.

After receiving continuous emergencies from Ji Bu and Ding Gong, Zhou Yin couldn't sit still.

To the west of the chasm, the army of the overlord Xiang Yu is being besieged by the Qin army, and he urgently needs to increase his troops to rescue him.

And the appearance of Qin troops in the area of Chen County made Zhou Yin worried. There are two main roads leading from Daliang to Chu State, one of which is along the big river to Pengcheng, this road is also the smoothest recently, it is one of the galloping roads supervised by the first emperor in the past, but it is a pity that thieves are rampant on this road, especially the Peng Yue thieves from Juyeze, after getting the secret support of the Qin army, it is even more rampant, and the baggage troops of the Chu army have been robbed repeatedly, and the losses are extremely heavy.

The second is Chen County in the southeast, this road to the hinterland of Chu State is currently an important supply line for the Chu army to survive, once Chen County is occupied by the Qin army, the back road of the Chu army may be cut off by the Qin army, and even if Xiang Yu defeats the main force of the Qin army, there is no way to go further.

Of course, this is still an optimistic estimate, in case the battle of the chasm is unfavorable, even if the Chu army wants to retreat, there is nowhere to escape, there are Qin troops on the two back roads, no matter which one you take, you will face a vicious battle, Zhou Yin does not think that the Qin army will be like Yan Dishi, will let them go with good intentions.

After thinking about it, Zhou Yin was about to decide to send a reinforcement army back to Chen County, but he didn't want to be pushed back by the deputy general Xiang Han as soon as he gave the order.

Xiang Zhichu.

Even with the children of the Xiang family, Xiang Han is actually just a distant relative of Xiang Yu, when it comes to the relationship between relatives and relatives, Xiang Han and Xiang Yu do not have much chance of intersection, in comparison, Zhou Yin, as an old minister of Chu State, is closer to Xiang Yu, but the situation is stronger than people, and it is the Xiang family that is currently in power in Western Chu, not him Zhou Yin.

Therefore, a guy with mediocre ability like Xiang Han, just because there is a Xiang character in his name, can rise to the top, from a small county lieutenant in Huiji County, to the level of a general in charge of baggage.

What made Zhou Yin feel even more devastated was that Xiang Han was extremely arrogant, and his actions did not take him as the main general in his eyes at all, and this time it was even more important to rescue Xiang Yu, and directly refuted Zhou Yin's opinion. Most of the middle- and lower-level generals in the Chu army saw Xiang's ambition and also threw themselves into Xiang Han, which made Zhou Yin, the entire rear army of the Chu army, the nominal commander-in-chief, and the real idea was decided by Xiang Han.

It stands to reason that with Zhou Yin's ability, he would not be so easily subject to a mere Xiang Han, but Xiang Han's words made Zhou Yin completely lose his temper.

"Zhou Da Sima, don't forget, your Zhou family has an example of rebellion, how can my Xiang family do the act of letting the villain be proud again."

It was this sentence that made all Zhou Yin's ambitions disappear.

Zhou Yin, who followed Xiang Liang to raise troops across the river, and once ascended to the position of the Great Sima of the State of Chu is the uncle of the Chu general Zhou Lan, who escaped unsuccessfully during the expedition to Yan, when Xiang Yu attacked Qin, Zhou Yin and Cao Yin were responsible for the rear baggage, which can be said to have made great contributions to Xiang Chu, however, after the Zhou Lan incident, Zhou Yin was implicated and deprived of the position of the Great Sima.

Today's Chu State.

It is the world of the Xiang family, Zhou Yin can come out of the mountain again this time, or rely on Xiang Tuo's words, in other words, Zhou Yin bowed to Xiang Tuo to get the opportunity to perform this time.

After weighing the gains and losses, Zhou Yin finally gave up reinforcing Chen County, and agreed to Xiang Han's suggestion to continue to increase the reinforcement of the Chu army on the west bank, and even in order to rescue the main force of the Chu army, Zhou Yin ordered Xiang Han to be the main general of the subsequent river crossing, and led the remaining 10,000 Chu army baggage troops to meet Xiang Yu.

The Chu army abandoned Chenjun.

It also means that he chose the tactics of fighting with the Qin army in the chasm.

Xiang Han's 10,000 people were thrown into the battlefield, dragging down the pace of the Qin cavalry who were supposed to come back to help Xiang Yu, and using the cavalry to deal with a group of foot soldiers who were usually only transporting grain and straw, which made the Qin military captain who commanded this cavalry overjoyed, and this one-sided slaughter scene was the best opportunity to harvest military merits.

Encircled.

The black horse gradually closed its eyes, its body has been drained a drop of blood from Zuihou, this horse has been fighting for several years, after spending the most prominent days of its life in glory, it is inevitable to usher in aging.

Seeing the painful death of this old partner who had accompanied him on the battlefield for many years, Xiang Yu, who was as hard as iron and murderous as hemp on the battlefield, couldn't help but blush, knelt on one knee, and felt sad.

In this world, there is no general who is always victorious and undefeated.

Unless, he disarmed and returned to the field, no longer led troops to fight, but only relied on remembering the glory of the past to spend the rest of his life, the black horse died, and his career in battle was over, and his battle was not over.

On the battlefield, the shouts and killings of the generals of the Chu army and the Qin army were full of ears, familiar and unfamiliar shouts, screams, and the mournful moans of the soldiers when they were dying, which stimulated Xiang Yu's numb nerves from time to time and made him wake up from the pain of losing his partner.

All sides.

It was an ambush by the Qin people.

It is impossible to capture the flag again and turn defeat into victory.

After seeing the black Qin soldiers beside Li Yuan, Xiang Yu was actually dead, he could no longer kill Li Yuan like when the tiger was in prison, and go to behead the enemy commander with his own hands. (To be continued......)
