A moment later, a ruthless look flashed in Xiang Liang's eyes, and he gave such an order.
"promise."
General Chu went as ordered.
Xiang Liang wanted to defend Suiyang City at all costs until Xiang Yu returned with the main force of the Chu army.
Soon, a large number of Chu troops were arresting males everywhere in Suiyang City, causing the whole city to fly and the people complained.
On December 15, when Xu Feng led the army to the city of Suiyang, Xiang Liang was already in Suiyang city, forcibly recruiting tens of thousands of men between the ages of 50 and [-].
"Order to set up camp."
After Xu Feng arrived, he gave an order.
More than [-] Qin troops camped outside Suiyang City and surrounded Suiyang on three sides.
"Feng Xiao, starting tomorrow, you will arrange for the soldiers to cut wood and build siege equipment, with great fanfare."
In the evening, Xu Feng summoned the generals for a meeting and gave Guo Jia instructions.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Wei Chen understands."
Guo Jia agreed.
Zhao Yun on the side was a little puzzled: "Your Majesty, are we really going to storm Suiyang City?
The walls of Suiyang City were strong, and Xiang Liang fled back many remnants of the Chu army.
If they stick to the city and our army attacks by force, the casualties may be huge! "
"Haha."
Hearing what Zhao Yun said, Xu Feng smiled, and then asked: "Zilong, tell me, how should we fight next?"
"Your Majesty, I think that we can give up attacking Suiyang City, go north to cut off Xiang Yu's retreat, and attack the main force of the Chu army with Han Xin from north to south.
In this way, we have a chance to eat Xiang Yu's main force in the first battle. "
"Haha."
Hearing what Zhao Yun said, Xu Feng laughed again.
Guo Jia, who was at the side, said, "What General Zilong said is actually what His Majesty thinks.
However, it was precisely because His Majesty wanted to lead his troops northward to intercept Xiang Yu that he had to act for Xiang Liang in Suiyang City from Suiyang.
Otherwise, if we head north with great fanfare, we are afraid that Xiang Liang will have to send someone to notify Xiang Yu as soon as we leave. "
"It turns out that it's because His Majesty and Lord Chang Feng have considered it carefully, and Zilong has been taught."
After hearing Guo Jia's words, Zhao Yun suddenly realized.
On the contrary, Lu Bu on the side didn't care about these.
The next day, the Qin army outside the city had been cutting wood to build siege equipment, which was known to Xiang Liang inside the city.
Let Xiang Liang firmly believe that the Qin army is preparing to attack the city.
On the tenth, it suddenly rained heavily in Suiyang, and Xiang Liang in Suiyang city was overjoyed.
"Haha, it really is God's blessing to me, Dachu, this heavy rain came too timely."
Xiang Liang was in the city, watching the continuous heavy rain, and shouted excitedly.
And when Xiang Liang was happy because of the sudden heavy rain, Guo Jia in the Qin camp outside the city was also very pleasantly surprised.
"Your Majesty, the time has come."
Guo Jia found Xu Feng excitedly and said.
"Well, I will lead the army northward tonight, and I will leave Suiyang to Aiqing."
Xu Feng nodded and said to Guo Jia.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Suiyang is handed over to the humble minister, and your Majesty is careful when going north."
That night, Xu Feng led more than [-] main forces of the Qin army, and under the cover of heavy rain, left the Qin camp and led the army northward.
Guo Jia took the remaining [-] Qin troops and stayed in the Qin camp outside Suiyang City to confuse Xiang Liang in Suiyang City.
Xu Feng led the army, braved the rain and headed north, and arrived at a small town called Tianping Town on the [-]th.
"Your Majesty, the soldiers have been marching for a day, they are very tired, and they have been exposed to rain, so they need to rest.
Otherwise, if this continues, many soldiers may fall ill. "
Zhao Yun suggested to Xu Feng.
"Well, okay, then take a break in this small town and start tomorrow."
Xu Feng accepted Zhao Yun's proposal.
"In addition, send a few scouts to the north to find out where the Chu army led by Xiang Yu is now.
What happened to the battle between the Chu army and the Qi army? "
Afterwards, Xu Feng said again.
"No, Weichen will go down and make arrangements."
After Zhao Yun left, Xu Feng looked at Lu Bu on the other side and said, "Fengxian, this time we are fighting the Chu army again.
It is very likely that you will meet Xiang Yu again. At that time, you, Zhen, and Zhao Yun will deal with Xiang Yu together. It would be best if you can keep him. "
"No, if you really meet Xiang Yu again, neither Your Majesty nor Zhao Yun will make a move, just leave it to me."
Lu Bu said indifferently.
"you sure?"
"Ah."
"Well then, Xiang Yu will leave it to you then."
During this period of time, Xu Feng was not too clear about how far Lu Bu's martial arts had progressed.
Anyway, more than a year ago, Lu Bu was a half-step legendary general, and now more than a year has passed, I don't know if Lu Bu has crossed that threshold.
But at this time, since Lu Bu said so on his own initiative, Xu Feng still decided to trust him once.
And when Xu Feng led the army, he was resting in this small town to the south.
In Xiangyi, dozens of miles to the north, Xiang Yu was indeed leading the main force of the Chu army to retreat.
"withdraw."
Xiang Yu rode on the horse and shouted loudly at the surrounding Chu soldiers.
Groups of soldiers of the Chu army were pouring out from the west gate of Xiangyi and retreating south.
To the north, groups of Qi troops had entered the city, chasing the retreating Chu soldiers.
However, the chasing Qi army was still blocked by several Chu troops in the city.
These few Chu soldiers and horses were left behind by Xiang Yu, just to block the pursuing Qi army and buy time for Xiang Yu to lead the retreat.
"kill!"
But how could Han Xin let Xiang Yu go so easily.
This time, the Qi army brought by Han Xin was more than 20, which is very sufficient.
Therefore, Han Xin sent out to pursue the Chu army and prevented the Chu army from withdrawing. There were as many as seven or eight Qi troops, but only three were trapped in the city at this time.
"Soldiers, kill Chu soldiers!"
Not long after Xiang Yu led his army out of Xiangyi, he was ambushed by a Qi army, and the two sides fought a big battle.
In the end, the two armies fought for more than an hour, and the Qi army was defeated and retreated voluntarily.
Don't look at it, although this Qi army was defeated, it was actually a victory.
Because, with more than [-] soldiers and horses, they forcibly blocked the main force of the Chu army for an hour and a half, so that the main force of the Qi army that was chasing after them finally caught up.
After Han Xin led the main force of the Qi army to catch up with Xiang Yu, the two armies fought again.
In the end, Xiang Yu led the Chu army to retreat voluntarily, and the loss was not small.
In this way, Xiang Yu retreated all the way to the south, and Han Xin led the army to chase after him desperately.
After all, the casualties of the soldiers of the retreating Chu army would far exceed those of the soldiers of the Qi army who were chasing after them, but Xiang Yu couldn't care about these now.
Even more than 20 Chu troops have been dispersed into three groups and are rapidly retreating southward with only one target, Suiyang City.
"My lord, hurry up, the Qi army is catching up again."
Xiang Yu led the army to an abandoned village, and not long after letting his soldiers rest, General Chu came running in panic and shouted.
"These Qi troops really make people restless for a moment!"
General Chu said bitterly.
"Three thousand cavalry will stay with the king, and the rest will follow Zhong Limo and continue to retreat south.
The king will catch up with you later. "
Xiang Yu said to the Chu generals.
"Your Majesty can't, let the humble official stay, you can't stay."
"Yes, Your Majesty, you can't put yourself in danger!"
Hearing what Xiang Yu said, Chu generals spoke up one after another.
"Okay, follow orders."
Xiang Yu has made up his mind.
Rumble!
Soon, Xiang Yu led three thousand Chu troops to kill them.
The remaining tens of thousands of Chu soldiers and horses, under the leadership of Zhong Limei, quickly retreated south.
In fact, at this time in two other directions, there are still two Chu armies, led by generals Long Qie and Ying Bu respectively, also retreating southward on the screen, followed by the Qi army chasing troops.
On the thirteenth, Xu Feng finally received the reward from his own scouts in Taiping Town to the south.
"Report, Your Majesty, the scouts sent back news that several Chu soldiers are heading south from Xiangyi."
A Qin Jun said to Xu Feng.
"How many roads are there?"
Xu Feng asked.
"There are about three routes. They were pursued by the Qi army. They should have deliberately divided their troops and retreated."
"There is that way, maybe it will pass through us?"
"Returning to Your Majesty, there is indeed a Chu army all the way. If they continue to retreat south, they will go to our place. The Chu general who leads the army seems to be Long Qi."
"How many troops are there?"
"About 6 to [-] people."
"Tell the scouts to focus on investigating the movements of this Chu army and horses, and report back in time."
"promise."
"By the way, the person who sent someone to inform the Qi army has come back?"
Xu Feng remembered this and asked.
"Your Majesty, not yet."
"It doesn't matter, even if Han Xin doesn't receive the news from the people sent by me, with our own strength, the ambush can still eat up this Chu army."
On the afternoon of the [-]th, a Chu army retreated from the north to the south, passing through Taiping Town.
"Tell the soldiers to speed up the march and don't let the Qi army behind catch up."
The dragon rode on a horse and gave orders.
"Your Majesty, the Chu army is here."
At this time, in Taiping Town, Jin Da pointed to the Chu army appearing in the distance, and said to Xu Feng.
