In Qin Dynasty, the hero of the bright moon dominates the world

Chapter 732

Beside the desolate road, Xiang Shaoyu led his generals, leaning on a big rock, discussing the next strategy.

Puyang was lost, Pengcheng was lost, Suiyang changed hands, and all important towns in the Central Plains were captured by the imperial army and the coalition forces that turned to Zhao Shuang.

The loss of these big cities also meant that the food and logistics of the coalition forces of the princes outside Xingyang City were cut off.

Zhao's army was destroyed, Qi's army was defeated, Wei's army scattered, and hundreds of thousands of troops scattered in an instant. Up to now, Xiang Shaoyu has only one hundred thousand of Chu's troops left.

But Xiang Shaoyu and all the generals knew that this was only temporary.

With an army of [-], the number of people eating horse chews every day is an astronomical figure. They must find a large rear as soon as possible to be safe in the end.

"Before his death, Yafu said that even though he was defeated in this battle, it doesn't mean that he has no hope."

Xiang Shaoyu looked at the bloody map in front of him depicting cities and towns.

"Yafu said that Zhao Shuang would definitely occupy all the important places in the Central Plains as soon as possible, and then trapped us between the Jianghuai River and the Huaihe River. Now that Suiyang, Puyang, Pengcheng and other places are all lost, Yafu really expected it."

Zhao Shuang is tightening the strategic encirclement. Once the Chu army fails to jump out of the encirclement in time, they will only be trapped to death in the end.

"Now, the only way to wait for the changes is to jump out of the rope of trapped beasts arranged by Zhao Shuang as soon as possible, return to Jiangdong, and recuperate."

In the incident not long ago, many people left the Chu army, even General Yingbo.But Zhong Lizhen still followed him from the beginning to the end.

"Now it seems that the only way to return to Jiangdong as soon as possible is to go to Chen County."

The Huben army was stationed in Yingchuan, and Yingbo's Thunder Leopard Army occupied Suiyang. Neither of these two sides could be taken in a short time.In front of them, there was only Chen County left.

Although Pengcheng is lost, there are still many areas in the Jianghuai area that belong to Chu State.

Zhong Lixuan pointed at the map. Although it only briefly marked cities, mountains, rivers, the generals present were well aware of the current situation.

"Han Xin's 20 troops marched northward, separating our army from the territory of Jianghuai. But after Han Xin's army went north, the main force was transferred to Qidi, so we can only start from the weakest place of the imperial army."

Zhong Lixuan's words were clear and clear, and all the Chu generals also understood.

Xiang Shaoyu pondered and said.

"Get supplies from Chen County, then go to Chengfu, break through the siege in Qidi, and return to Jiangdong."

After Xiang Shaoyu made his decision, everyone followed the established strategy and began to implement it.

For a while, the army that had already stopped began to move.

……

Linzi.

Standing on the thick city wall of the world's giant capital, Tian Heng looked at the densely packed military camps outside the city, and couldn't help but sigh.

Qin destroyed the six kingdoms, and Qi was the last to perish, but it was not devastated by many wars. After Qin unified the world, it was the only prosperous area in Guanzhong.

But now, the scene of war has come, and the prosperity of Qidi has disappeared in the smoke of war.

"Brother Wang hasn't come back yet?"

Since the general of Jibei County rebelled, Tian Heng led a large army to attack the Jibei rebels, while urging Tian Rong to return to the army.

But after hearing that Han Xin led an army of 20 to the north, the situation has changed.

Although Tian Heng responded in a timely manner, they still lost most of the area except Linzi.

After Han Xin's army joined forces with a group of rebels in Jibei, they surrounded Linzi and sent the rest of their troops to attack Jiaodong.

Now, the only hope for the Qi army is the [-] troops led by Tian Rong who are rushing back.

However, Tian Rong returned to aid earlier than Han Xin, but Tian Heng did not see the shadow of Tian Rong's army for a long time.

The news channel of Jixia's dead soldiers was cut off by Han Xin, and now Tian Heng has lost the news to the outside world.

Han Xin was not in a hurry to attack, but surrounded Linzi, as if waiting for something.

"Xiangguo, look."

Tian Heng was reminded by his subordinates, and his eyes were fixed on a horse that suddenly came galloping from Han Xin's barracks.

As they got closer, everyone realized that this person was dressed in Qi Jun's clothes.

"Pull him up."

The Qi army guarding the city put down the hanging basket and pulled the man up.

Tian Heng knew him, this man was Tian Rong's personal guard.

"What happened, Brother Wang?"

The man was crying and talking about what happened not long ago.

"After the king received the letter from Xiangguo, he immediately returned to help. However, there was chaos in Xingyang. Wei Xiang Peng Yue suddenly led an army to attack our army, causing our army to be defeated. The king took the rest of the troops to detour and wanted to When we returned to Linzi, Peng Yue kept harassing us, so that our army moved slowly. When we reached Qi, Peng Yue joined forces with Han Xin and attacked from both sides. Our army was defeated and the king died."

Looking at the crying man in front of him, Tian Heng finally understood why Han Xin let him come.

This is a strategy to attack the heart!

But the great thing is that there is no frills in it, and it is poked on that side so brightly that you have to face it.

Qi State now has no reinforcements inside, no allies outside, and only one city left.

In the past, Tian Dan was able to restore the country, but now Tian Heng no longer has the conditions of that year.

Tian Heng closed his eyes, feeling the sadness of a hero's end.

"Let's surrender!"

……

In the wilderness, blood filled the air.

Chen Yu looked at the sky, as if there was a mist of blood.

Just after the news of the destruction of the Zhao army and the disappearance of the king of Zhao came from the front line, the state of Zhao was in chaos.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Xin united with the Taiyuan Army and stormed Julu.

Chen Yu is not from Zhao, and the main reason why he can hold a high position in Zhao is because of Zhao Wangxie.

And now, Zhao Wangxie is missing.Relying on Chen Yu's position as a general alone, it is impossible to unite the hearts of Zhao people in times of crisis.

Seeing the heavy siege of the empire, coupled with the news from afar, Zhao Jun's army was distracted, and Julu soon broke through the city.

Chen Yu and Yu Bu wanted to find a way out.

But now, there is no way out.

There was the sound of rumbling horseshoes.

Chen Yu was very familiar with this voice, so he raised many such war horses in Julu City.

Unexpectedly, the war horse that Chen Yu took painstakingly to obtain for Zhao Guo was used as a sharp weapon against the imperial army, but now it is used by the imperial army.

With a self-deprecating smile, Chen Yu looked at the approaching figure in the distance, unwilling to wait.

Before they approached, Chen Yu pulled out his sword, laughed three times, and killed himself.

As the sound of horseshoes approached, Li Xin looked at the once prominent hero in front of him, and heard the voice of his confidant next to his ear.

"Is that how he died?"

"After all, he used to be a prince."

After Li Xin finished speaking, he turned and rode away.

……

In the city of Xingyang.

Zhao Shuang sat under an ancient tree and played chess with Zhang Liang.

Good news from afar came one after another, and now Zhao Shuang's generals are conquering various places.

Yan, Zhao, Qi, Wei and other lands were basically pacified, and the only thing left was the [-] Chu army led by Xiang Shaoyu.

Unlike the princes in other regions, Xiang Shaoyu's Chu army showed tenacious vitality.

Even now that all parts of the country have calmed down one after another, this army, under the leadership of the coach, still wins every battle.

"Your Majesty, according to the information from Chen County, Xiang Shaoyu did not stay long after he occupied Chen, but went to the city father in the east."

"Among the princes, Xiang Shaoyu is indeed the most difficult to deal with."

Zhao Shuang gently put down the chess piece in his hand, without much surprise in his words.

"It seems that the Xiang family wants to break through our army's defense line, return to Jiangdong, and regroup."

In today's situation, the Chu army has lost its base in the rear and urgently needs to regain a stable rear.

Originally, under such circumstances, the morale of the army should have gone from bad to worse.However, the strength of the [-] Chu army led by Xiang Shaoyu not only did not decrease, but even increased.

Zhang Liang naturally understood that this was the difference between the coaches.

"My lord, if Xiang Shaoyu is allowed to return to Jiangdong, it will be very difficult if he wants to crusade again."

If the [-] Chu troops are allowed to take root again, it will not be so easy to deal with them again.

Even, judging from the current combat power of the Chu army, it will be a serious problem for Zhao Shuang.

After all, Xiang Shaoyu's age has an advantage that Zhao Shuang does not have.

"I have ordered the Habayashi army to move forward, and the vanguard has already arrived in Chen County. The Huben army is now chasing after the Chu army. If there is no fight or attack, it will delay the marching speed of the Chu army."

Zhao Shuang was not interested in fighting Xiang Shaoyu, instead he used the simplest method.

The righteous way of soldiers is to bully the widowed by the crowd.

"Yingbu led an army of 20 to march east along the Huai River, Peng Yue led an army of [-] to go south from Changyi, and Han Xin led an army of [-] to surround the rear. The food and grass of the Chu army could not last long, and the army of Huben was behind. The beast's rope is about to lock."

"Where does the king want to fight Xiang Shaoyu in the end?"

Zhang Liang asked.

"Gai Xia!"

With a word, Zhao Shuang slowly put down the last key piece.

……

"General, Li Zuoche has already entered Qidi before us."

Qixian County is a large county in Chu, where sufficient supplies can be obtained.

But now, Li Zuoche took the first step and ran in front of the Chu army. It would be difficult for the Chu army to attack again.

The Huben army is mostly cavalry, and its mobility is stronger than that of the Chu army.Now that the Tenglong Legion has been destroyed, the Chu army does not have enough cavalry to match it.

Xiang Shaoyu is a military prodigy with a keen intuition on the battlefield.He could feel that Zhao Shuang's net was about to tighten.

It is necessary to break through this encirclement before that.

However, there are opposing armies in front, back, left, and right, so he has few choices.

The Habayashi Army is in the west, following closely.

The British cloth army is in the south, blocking the waterways along the river.

Peng Yue's army is in the north, and Han Xin's army is in the east.

These hundreds of thousands of troops kept compressing the living space of Xiang Shaoyu's army, strangling the vitality of the Chu army little by little.

But seeing his sphere of influence shrinking, Xiang Shaoyu was anxious, but he didn't have many effective methods.

"Where are Zhong Lixuan and Ji Bu?"

Of Xiang's four army commanders with foreign surnames, there are only two left now, and they are distributed beside Xiang Shaoyu's army as the flanks.

They are responsible for guarding and collecting food and grass.

"General Zhongli sent the news this morning that an imperial army was confronting them head-on. The situation of the battle is still uncertain. As for General Ji Bu, there has been no news."

Xiang Shaoyu looked at the map in front of him and frowned.

Jibu's army was in the north, and Zhonglixuan's army was in the south.

As the flanks of the army, these two armies shoulder important missions.Today's abnormality shows that the crisis is approaching.

But Zhong Lixuan was threatened by the British army, but what about Jibu?
Xiang Shaoyu was shocked when he thought of this.

There is no news so far. Could it be that Peng Yuejun arrived so soon?

"We can't wait any longer."

Xiang Shaoyu knew very well that the place occupied by his [-] Chu troops was too empty at this time, and it was not a permanent place at all.Once the imperial army attacked, they couldn't hold it at all.

"General, what do you mean?"

"Go to Gaixia, at least there are enough dangers to be stationed there."

……

"elder sister!"

Looking at Linglong's figure in front of him, Ji Bu lost his mind.

Not long ago, the [-] army he led encountered the main force of Peng Yue's army and was besieged.

Ji Bu has prepared for the worst.

But the strange thing is that they surrounded the Shadow Tiger Legion, but they didn't attack immediately, but waited.

Ji Bu understood what the other party meant, and had been waiting for the other party's lobbyist, but unexpectedly, it was Hua Ying who came.

"Since the first battle in Xue Di, my sister and the eldest princess have lost news. I thought you were all killed by someone."

There was some sense of loneliness in Ji Bu's voice, but Hua Ying's answer was full of vicissitudes.

"I'm fine, and so is she."

The her that Huaying said was Mi Lian.But Huaying didn't call her the eldest princess, but only her.

Ji Bu noticed this subtle difference, but he didn't want to go into it.

Huaying won't lie to him, Mi Lian must be doing well at this time.

"Sister, I know why you are here, but I am from Chu."

"So what? The ones who have taken refuge in Zhao Shuang are now chasing you. Aren't Yingbo's [-] troops all from Chu?"

"but I……"

Looking at his sister's worried face looking at him, it was difficult for Ji Bu to say what he said.

"It's not your fault, nor is it a crime of war. The state of Chu is dead, and what you and your brothers should think about now is how to live better. Even if you don't think about yourself, you can follow your lead." What about the brothers? You have to think about them too."

Hua Ying knew how to persuade her younger brother, so following her words, Ji Bu put down the Shadow Tiger Sword in his hand and sighed.

"All right!"

……

Driving eastward, under the protection of the Habayashi Army, he slowly headed towards the target.

Inside the carriage, Zhao Shuang looked at the bound woman in front of him with a smile on her face.

"Why do you have to embarrass me?"

Gao Yue was bound by ropes all over her body, and her body was also sealed by the Yin Yang family's secret technique. At this moment, she couldn't move, and she held her breath in her heart.

"Isn't the hatred of subjugation and family destruction enough?"

"well said!"

Zhao Shuang took the time to appreciate the scene in front of him, bent his head, picked up the bamboo slips on the side, and looked at it.

Gao Yue wanted to break free, but couldn't, and finally gave up.

"You kill me, I already have a premonition of my fate."

Zhao Shuang put down the bamboo slip in his hand and said softly.

"Then did you expect what I would do to you?"

A knight, riding a fast horse, ran on the galloping road, passed through the heavy defense of the Habayashi Army, and came to the side of the car, interrupting the atmosphere in the car.

"My lord, the Shadow Tiger Legion has surrendered."

The car window opened slowly, and Zhao Shuang's voice came from inside.

"Order the generals to join the army at Gaixia."

"promise!"

After the window was opened, it was quickly closed again.

Zhao Shuang looked at the beautiful woman in front of him.The other party pouted and remained silent for a long time.
