At night, Liu Bang sent three lines of reconnaissance cavalry to run around the Chu army's camp for more than three times, and found that the Chu army was retreating southward in an orderly manner. After these cavalry returned to the camp, they told the news of the Chu army's retreat.

Liu Bang, Liu Bang was a little confused after hearing the news. Liu Bang, who was originally very suspicious, became even more suspicious now, so he asked Zhang Liang, who was thinking about it, about the situation.

"Zifang, do you think Xiang Yu retreated?" Liu Bang asked Zhang Liang with a puzzled expression.

"...Your Majesty, I thought Xiang Yu had withdrawn his troops." Zhang Liang thought for a while and nodded before answering Liu Bang.

"How do you say this?" Liu Bang asked still confused.

"Now that the war between the five northern countries has come to an end, didn't your Majesty realize that this war was not about military strength?" Zhang Liang's words really hit the nail on the head and spelled out the essence of this war.

"...That's true." Liu Bang thought for a while about the battle report he had read a few days ago. All parties had the same amount of troops and equal strength, but why they lost was not because of the commander's command error, but because the treasury in the rear had a huge outlay.

part of the problem.

"So, Xiang Yu must have learned his lesson, listened to Fan Zeng's advice, retired his troops, made a truce, and returned home to recuperate." Zhang Liang continued to answer Liu Bang's questions, and then his doubts were completely resolved.

Facts proved that Zhang Liang's guess and inference were correct. Xiang Yu used himself as the general to break up the rear, and safely escorted the last group of troops to retreat south. Fortunately, the Han army did not pursue him.

The reason why they did not pursue the Chu army was that if they did, Xiang Yu would definitely be the general who had broken off the rear, and the fight would definitely be endless. Secondly, there was not enough time. Even if they caught up, they would definitely enter the territory of Jin.

, you must know that Jin is now at war with Wei.

Early the next morning, Liu Bang led his army into the devastated Chong'an County. Only when he saw the surrounding environment did he realize what a real slaughterhouse was. There were corpses everywhere, the sky was filled with smoke, and the clear water of the moat had already been dyed red with blood.

"See Your Majesty." Zhou Bo said feebly while lying on the hospital bed.

"No need to be polite, take a good rest and don't think too much." Liu Bang covered Zhou Bo with a quilt. The scene around him was the one he saw most when he saw the defeat of Pengcheng...

"Here..." Zhou Bo closed his eyes slightly and lay on the hospital bed to rest.

The outcome of the southern battlefield has been decided. This war basically ended in a disastrous defeat. The national treasury spent more than 37.6 million taels of silver, more than 2.3 million shi of grain and grass, and the Han army sent out 1 million soldiers and horses.

There were more than 170,000 soldiers killed and injured in the battle.

At this moment, Bai Qi was still in a confrontation with Liu Xun in the northern capital area. When both sides learned that the war in the south had been decided, Bai Qi began to take action and occupied the east bank of Fen River as quickly as possible.

, approaching the capital of Han Dynasty.

"Order Zhao Chongguo to lead an army of 100,000 to camp on the other side of the Fen River to block Bai Qi's march." When Liu Xun learned that Bai Qi had made a move, he immediately ordered Zhao Chongguo's troops stationed outside the city to lead his troops.

Set out camp to block the east bank of Fen River.

"I obey the decree!" Taishi ordered Sima Qian to come forward and bow.

Sima Qian, as the most tragic and legendary writer and historian of the Han Dynasty, is now shining brightly in this era of gathering of stars, but back in this era, he was still the Taishi Ling and the official who recorded the history of this era.

After conveying the order to Zhao Chongguo, Zhao Chongguo, who was stationed outside the camp, immediately ordered all the cavalrymen of the 100,000 men in the camp to assemble and advance the camp thirty miles to the east bank of Fen River to set up camp to prevent Bai Qi from suddenly

Take action across the river and attack directly on the capital.

It was said to be fast, but Bai Qileng did not let the army stop. It only took him a day and a night, from crossing the river to arriving at the destination and setting up camp, which shows how fast he was.

"General, Zhao Chongguo has led his cavalry to camp on the opposite bank of our army." Meng Tian opened the curtain and walked to Bai Qi and said.

"The Han army is so fast? It's really unexpected." Bai Qi leaned on the hilt of his sword and murmured, staring at the sand table in front of him.

This sand table is a strategic map of the northern battlefield of Hongzhou. It basically restores all the terrain here. Based on this sand table, Bai Qi can infer and make decisions about where the Qin army should advance and where the Han army will attack.

Their direction is thirty miles west of the Han capital. As long as they defeat Zhao Chong's troops in front of them, the Qin army will raid the Han capital as quickly as possible.

"Order, closely monitor the movements of the Han army. If Zhao Chongguo makes any moves, report him immediately." Bai Qi took out his mobile phone and issued his order in the "Chat group behind enemy lines" he established.

After receiving the order, the generals of the Qin Army responded with a 1, indicating that they already knew the operation mission.

As soon as Zhao Chongguo on the other side set up camp, Liu Bang sent Zhao Chongguo a video call.

"See your Majesty." Zhao Chongguo said to Liu Bang seriously.

"No need, where is your current position?" Liu Bang went straight to the point. He wanted to know where Zhao Chongguo was at this time.

"The general will confront the Qin army on the other side of the Fen River on the east bank." Zhao Chongguo replied.

"Who is guarding the camp outside the city?!" Liu Bang was suddenly shocked, how could this boy Liu Xun mobilize the soldiers and horses from the camp outside the city?

"General Dou Wu and General Huangfu Banner are on guard." Zhao Chongguo replied calmly.

"That's good... I have sent the general with 500,000 troops to the Western Front battlefield to command the operation. Now the battlefield command is given to the general. Do you understand?" Liu Bang conveyed the order to Zhao Chongguo. Now the battlefield on the Western Front is not open.

Under the command of Liu Xun, Han Xin took over the war.

"The general obeys the order." Zhao Chongguo nodded. Then Liu Bang hung up the call and sent a text message to Zhao Chongguo, telling them to be careful when facing Bai Qi. He was good at using surprise soldiers.

We all know this, but we don’t know where to take precautions. Zhao Chongguo considered a variety of factors. After eliminating all these factors, it seemed that there was no big problem, but in fact there should be some problems, but he didn’t know what the problem was.

What went wrong.

At this time, Liu Bang was on the march and kept shouting outside the carriage...

"Listen, officers and soldiers of the Han army! I know you are tired, but time is money. If we miss the opportunity, we will most likely lose our home and not be able to return! Therefore, I hope that you can work with me to defend the enemy and drive the Qin army back.

They are within their borders! Xiang Yu has retreated, and facing the Qin army, we have to open up and fight!"

The strong wind is blowing and the clouds are flying. Weijia is returning to his hometown in the sea, and the warriors are guarding the four sides!

This poem was written by Liu Bang. Now that he is recalling the past, it is indeed a bit sad.

The Han army kept singing this "Great Wind Song" during the march, and Liu Bang also rode on his horse and shouted the verses of this poem. In an instant, the cold breath dispersed, and all those enthusiasm and passion were condensed under Liu Bang's leadership
