After Xiang Yu separated from Xiang An, he led his army all the way north, crossing the Huai River at an extremely fast speed. He was about to arrive at Juye Ze, which was originally occupied by Peng Yue. He planned to cross the Wen River from here and head towards the river.
.
As for Xiang An's 10,000 men, who did not carry much supplies and were riding fast horses, they have now crossed Waihuang and reached the border of Quyu.
But after Xiang An defeated Qu Yu, he never moved again.
According to the offensive route originally arranged by Xiang Yu for him, the next big city that Xiang An needs to attack is Xingyang.
but......
"Fourth uncle, Liang Ning, get ready, let's go attack Linji." Xiang An pressed the edge of the sand table, looked at his two generals, and said seriously.
Linji City is located due north of Quyu City, separated by two large rivers, Jushui River and Wenshui River, with a narrow delta area in the middle.
The water system of the Central Plains extends in all directions, with just one river branching into many tributaries such as the Wenshui River, the Jushui River, the Luoshui River, and the Yishui River. The Jushui River is even connected to another large river, the Huaihe River. It is intricate and plays a vital role in many rivers.
Military activities have a great impact, but because of this, they also leave many opportunities for many generals to make unexpected plans.
Quyu City itself is the ferry leading to Jushui North, and Linji stands on the north bank of Wenshui River and also has a ferry.
"Our Chu army is good at water warfare, but..." Xiang Lu thought for a moment, nodded, and then showed a little hesitation, "But Xiang An, are you really planning not to follow your elder brother's orders?"
"No plan." Xiang An said very decisively, "Thirty thousand versus one hundred thousand in the frontal battlefield. I don't know if there is something wrong with his brain or something. Even if he is sure, we, Xi Chu, can't afford this gamble."
"I didn't persuade him before because I can't persuade him now." Xiang An gritted his teeth, helpless and anxious, "It was like this when we were in Xutai before. He would only say some words that I couldn't understand!
"
"Our identity still hasn't changed." Xiang An shook his head and stopped thinking about the troublesome things. He glanced at the generals and said loudly, "We are still a surprise army, but we are no longer a surprise attack on Hangu Pass.
, but a surprise force that cooperates with the main army on the frontal battlefield to complete a flanking sneak attack!"
Han Xin, who was standing next to Xiang An, nodded and took Xiang An's words: "Generals, look here."
"The current situation in Zhao State is extremely miserable. Under Zhang Han's pressure, the two major cities of Chaoge and Anyang have been lost. Now they have retreated to Handan. The entire defense line has been withdrawn three times, but the overall situation is still in decline."
Han Xin drew a line on the sand table of the map to indicate the current situation in Zhao.
"If nothing happens, in another month, or even less than a month, Zhao will lose its handan, further pulling the entire defense line toward the northeast, and completely losing control south of the Huan River." Han Xin shook his head and sighed.
He said, "Not only the State of Zhao, but also the situation of the State of Yan is not optimistic now. The territories of the two countries are constantly being squeezed and driven in the same direction."
"And the general's attack route should be here."
Han Xin leaned out, picked up Xiang Yu's chess piece, and put it to the north. It was Dong'a.
Dong'a was defeated by Liu Ji before, but Xi Chu retreated and fully recovered its power south of the Huai River. The control of Dong'a is no longer in the hands of Xi Chu, but was defeated by Zhang Han.
Come back.
Now Xiang Yu has to fight again, and this is an enhanced version.
From Juyeze, to Dong'a, and further north is Wuyan, where Xiang Yu crossed the river on his march route.
After crossing the river, we arrived at the frontal battlefield where Qin and Zhao fought.
"And after we capture Linji, we will go here." Xiang An was taller than Han Xin. He just stretched out his hand to pick up his own chess piece and placed it in a city close to the south bank of the river.
White horse.
"Our route is further than the general, so we don't have much time left. We should bring less supplies. Just supply them directly from the captured city." Xiang An withdrew his hand and said with his chest in his arms.
, "There is not much time left for us, so we must use thunderous momentum! While Zhang Han's main army is on the front battlefield, cooperate with Big Brother and Zhao Jun to complete the counter-encirclement of Zhang Han!"
"I will obey the order!" Xiang Lu and Liang Ning clasped their fists at Xiang An.
...
Juyeze, Xiang Yu’s garrison.
In a huge camp, a few wooden boards were built into a simple bed frame with a straw mat spread on it. This is where the Chu soldiers usually sleep.
It's getting late now, the military camp has been set up, and it's time to sleep.
A short Chu soldier sat on the straw mat, touched his side, pursed his lips, and there seemed to be a glimmer of light in his eyes, and turned his head to look north.
That was killing intent, uncontrollable killing intent.
If...if I haven't done anything for my sister, can I still be called my sister's brother?
Zi Huai, disguised as an ordinary Chu soldier, gritted his teeth, lay back, and closed his eyes feeling slightly irritated.
Just wait, the hatred that makes my sister shed tears...
...
To the south, Liu Ji's army.
The pressure from the Qin army was mainly concentrated in the north. The pressure faced by Liu Ji in the south was, to put it nicely, reluctant, to put it harshly...what would it be called?
Anyway, Liu Ji is now winning all the way, and a large area between Rushui and Yingshui has been defeated by him. The process of advancing towards Xianyang can be said to be relaxed and comfortable.
"Hey, why didn't your Majesty come up with this idea earlier?" Fan Kuai gnawed on the leg of beef and looked at Liu Ji contentedly.
Beef was something rare, and he would have been reluctant to eat it if he hadn't happened to kill one during the siege.
"Easiness is what we strive for. It would never be so easy when we chose this path before." Liu Ji shook his head. People in the army felt relaxed, but he would not let down his guard. "The last one took advantage of Qin Chao's failure to react.
The man who chose the route to attack Xianyang is named Zhou Wen, and now there may be only a skeleton left."
"I remember Zhou Wen is... Chen Sheng's man?" Fan Kuai touched his chin and thought for a long time before he remembered who Zhou Wen was.
"I'm telling you...it hasn't been long since King Chen died, and you've forgotten all the names of his subordinates?" Liu Ji looked at Fan Kuai helplessly.
"General!" At this time, Liu Ji's coachman Xia Houying came in hurriedly, "There is someone asking to see you!"
"Who is it? Looking for me?" Liu Ji looked at Xia Houying with a confused look on his face.
"That man claims to be the Queen of Han Dynasty and the father of Yingchuan City. He threatens to...conquer the world for you, General!"
