In Bingzhou, thirty miles west of Jingxingguan, there is the Yellow Turban Army camp.

Han Xin has been standing in front of the map of Bingzhou, which is as tall as a person, for half an hour. The dark clouds between his brows still show no sign of dispersing, and he also reveals a hint of fatigue that cannot be concealed...

This time when Bingzhou broke out, he felt a sense of powerlessness that he had never felt before.

In the past, when he led troops to fight, no matter how strong the enemy was or how unfavorable the situation was, he could always quickly find a way to defeat the enemy!

The smoothness of commanding an army like an arm, with an almost incomprehensible freedom of movement, is like he possesses a talent for military tactics that others do not have, allowing him to always see the key to the battle situation and the enemy's flaws at a glance.

But this time, his talent seemed to be cast by a deep shadow. Everything seemed like flowers in the fog, everything seemed like a dense forest of thorns...

He could no longer make decisions as crisply as before. One step was slow and one step was slow. The situation that was already unfavorable to him continued to deteriorate during his hesitation, giving him even heavier pressure.

Now he feels more and more like an ant trapped in a spider's web. It is obvious that struggling will only make the restraints tighter and tighter, and will only make the period of defeat closer and closer, but he is still struggling with all his strength.

‘Is it really the King of Han’s fortune that defeats me?’

Han Xin lowered his eyelids tiredly, and asked himself unwillingly: 'Or is the King of Han really the emperor of destiny, and competing with the Han Dynasty is an enemy of the fate of Kyushu?'

This was not the first time that these two questions had appeared in his mind.

But it was obvious that he had never been able to get an answer before.

There is also no answer this time.

He picked up the canteen and swallowed a few mouthfuls, regaining his strength and continuing to study the map.

At this moment, a messenger suddenly stepped into the tent quickly, kneeled on one knee and said: "Commander, I have an urgent letter from Yongzhou!"

Han Xin frowned, thinking about it and strode to the messenger, took the letter from Zhi Yu, and opened it for a quick read.

"pity!"

He had only read half of the silk letter, which was filled with densely written small characters, when he couldn't help but sigh: "I've spent nine years on a mountain, but I've failed in one piece!"

Pheasant Yu's letter was written by Wei Liao. It briefly described how Bai Qi flooded the Han red-coated army, and strongly invited Han Xin to lead his army to Yongzhou to discuss the great cause of joining forces to fight against the Han.

Although the description of Bai Qi's flooding of the Han red-coated army in the letter focuses on "using soldiers like gods" and "successful success", it does not mention Bai Qi's failure to succeed.

But who is Han Xin?

He glanced around and saw that Wei Liao never mentioned how many levels he had beheaded, how many miles the Han army had retreated, and other important information. He knew that Bai Qi's strategy might indeed be successful, but it definitely didn't work!

'This veteran, called Bai Qi, has something!'

Han Xin casually threw the silk cloth to Shuai Gu. He did not despise Bai Qi because his plan failed to be fully effective. Instead, he was very sure of Bai Qi's level!

That was the King of Han personally commanding the troops!

What is King of Han?

The King of Han is not the touchstone of Kyushu generals, but the ceiling of Kyushu generals!

A general who can defeat the King of Han with huge chaos is enough to be considered one of the famous generals in the world. A general who can cause the King of Han to suffer such a huge loss, even if you include the generals who commanded the Youzhou Army and the Bolang Army.

Can’t be counted in one palm!

Even he himself was completely defeated in the brief confrontation between Julu and the Han army?

It is precisely because he is very sure of Bai Qi's level that he feels extremely sorry for Bai Qi's failure this time!

If Bai Qi had not failed and succeeded in flooding the 150,000 Han red-coated troops, the situation in Kyushu would have been reversed!

And the dilemma he faces can be easily solved...

"Huh?"

Han Xin suddenly stood up and walked quickly to the map of Bingzhou: "Why is the King of Han outside Hangu Pass? Where is Xiang Ji's child?"

He always thought that the King of Han was still fighting Xiang Yu in Youzhou.

Because after the King of Han commanded five thousand cavalry to go north to Youzhou, there was no news of Xiang Yu's defeat or surrender to the Han Dynasty, and the five thousand cavalry never appeared on the battlefield in Jizhou again.

Moreover, he and Xiang Yu have always been at odds with each other. Even the envoys sent to form an alliance were killed by Xiang Yu three times. Of course, he would not think that Xiang Yu would take the initiative to communicate with him about the situation on the battlefield in Youzhou.

This is important!

He strongly advocated advancing eastward based on the judgment that the Han army would not be able to determine the outcome of Xiang Yu's army in a short period of time.

If Xiang Yu's army is defeated, or even surrendered, then even if his army successfully breaks into the East China Plain, its strategic significance will be greatly reduced!

Just imagine.

When Xiang Yu's army and the Han army were in a dilemma, his Bingzhou Heavenly Army rushed into Jizhou, which was equivalent to cutting off the Han army's logistics supply line.

In this way, not only the Han army in Youzhou must return to Jizhou to regroup, but the Heavenly Army in Hezhou is also expected to open up and merge the three states of Jizhou and Qingzhou again, regaining the heyday of the Heavenly Army.

But if Xiang Yu's army is defeated or surrenders, it will be equivalent to the Han army completely breaking through the East China Plain and North China Plain in Kyushu!

Then why are their soldiers and horses so sharp-headed as they head towards the East China Plain?

Was he a bandit in the past?

Or be a street rat?

More importantly, what if Xiang Yu's army was not defeated but surrendered?

So where will Xiang Yujun be now?

Han Xin was gesticulating randomly on the map. The more he gesticulated, the more doubts he had in his heart. The more he gesticulated, the colder his heart became.

Xiang Yu has a high probability of falling!

Otherwise, with the bravery of those 20,000 soldiers and horses sweeping through Youzhou, they would not be able to get even the slightest news and be dealt with by the King of Han!

But that was also the reason why he was confused.

How could a common man like Xiang Yu, whose muscles had grown into his brain, be able to defeat a big man so easily?

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo Reading recently to catch up on books, change sources, and read aloud with many sounds, and it can be used on both Android and Apple.]

Even if you have been looking forward to joining the Han Dynasty for a long time, you should still go through the necessary procedures, right?

If you surrender without firing a sword or an arrow, who will think highly of you Xiang Yu in the future?

Han Xin couldn't understand this.

But he finally figured out why that guy Li Xin changed his mind to eating shit, and focused on leading his troops to fight against the autumn wind on the outside. No matter how he designed and lured him, he would not come to break into his own formation.

He had previously said that the boy had been taught that he was afraid of being beaten, and once he was bitten by a snake, he would be afraid of well ropes for ten years.

Now it seems that that guy is clearly waiting for Xiang Yu to lead the army and encircle him on three sides!

"You think so highly of XX, should XX family thank the King for your kindness?"

After Han Xin roughly drew a circle on the map, he realized that even if he evacuated Jingxing immediately, it would already be too late, and said to himself sadly.

The three-sided encirclement is about to be completed. To withdraw from Jingxing now is tantamount to telling Li Xin, Xiang Yu, and Chen Dao in Jingxing Pass that Han Xin has seen through their plan. I am afraid that they will force the encirclement at all costs!

At that time, the best outcome for him would be to break out of the siege with hundreds of defeated soldiers and escape with his life.

But without the army by his side, what would he do even if he was lucky enough to escape with his life?

A real man lives between heaven and earth. If he doesn’t get five cauldrons of food in life, he will also have five cauldrons of food in death!

'The world is still uncertain, and we still don't know who will win, so why belittle yourself!'

Han Xin calmed down and focused on the map again, trying to find a way out.

However, the map was placed in front of him, and even if he could spot a flower from the map, it would not change the fact that all the traffic arteries around him and the state army had been blocked by the Han army!

But Han Xin was Han Xin after all. He was in such a desperate situation with no way to the sky and no way to the earth, but he was stunned to find a glimmer of hope.

‘If heaven fails to give its time, the earth will lose its advantage…’

He stared at the map and thought to himself: "Only Renhe can still be used a little or two."

The Han army blocked the news that Xiang Yu's army had returned to the Han Dynasty in order to allow Xiang Yu's army to participate in the battle to surround him and the Tianjun army without telling him.

Now, he had an insight into the Han army's plan.

The Han army did not know that he had insight into their plan.

Can we use this information gap to lure the Han army in Jingxing Pass out of Chengguan?

Han Xin's rough fingers pointed on the map, walking along the ink line representing Jingxing, thinking in his mind: "The Han army in Jingxing Pass is not very strong, but 70,000 soldiers were killed. If they can be lured out of the pass, it may be possible to save three thousand soldiers."

Going down through the drum, the road to Jingxing happened to be steep and narrow. The Han army could not set up its formation and could not give full play to its advantage in strength...'

Advancing eastward has lost its original strategic significance.

But when we retreat, we have to face the more than 200,000 Han troops of Li Xin and Xiang Yu!

If we continue to move forward, we only need to break through a city gate garrisoned by 60,000 to 70,000 Han troops. Then the sky is as high as birds can fly, and the sea is as wide as fish can jump.

Can children do such a simple multiple-choice question?

As for how to survive after rushing into the East China Plain...

That's not an issue he should consider now.

Even in the future, this "small problem" can be completely left to Ying Zheng and the others to solve.

Presumably, they don't want to see him, Han Xin, suffer misfortune and face millions of Han troops alone, right?
To be continued...
