Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 531
Such a large-scale migration of Chu land was quickly discovered by the Qin army.

Han Xin, who got the news, quickly deduced the intention of the Chu army based on the route the Chu army traveled and the migration path of materials in Huaibei and other counties and counties.

Xiang Yu clearly intends to give up all the land except Jiangdong and retreat to Jiangdong!
And this is also the possibility that Han Xin is most worried about, because once the Chu army completely retreats to Jiangdong, relying on the danger of the Yangtze River and the favorable location of Jiangdong, Daqin may have to pay several times more losses and losses if he wants to pacify Chu under such circumstances. longer time.

In Han Xin's plan, the most ideal state is naturally to let the Chu army continuously weaken the strength of the Chu army during the years of onslaught, and when the strength of the Chu army is exhausted to a certain extent, the Chu army can be easily defeated. Take Xiang Yu down.

However, at this time, the Chu army was obviously walking in a direction that Han Xin didn't want to see the most.

After reaching this conclusion, Han Xin looked at the military newspaper in his hand and was suddenly puzzled.

Han Xin is very familiar with Xiang Yu, because Han Xin was Xiang Yu's subordinate back then, although he was just a doctor with a halberd.

According to Han Xin's understanding of Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu should be the kind who would rather bend than bend, even if there is a mountain of swords and flames ahead, he should not make such a decision.

There must have been an accident in the Chu army that I didn't know about!

However, no matter what made Xiang Yu make such a decision, things have happened after all.

Sighing, Han Xin put away the received military report and headed for Ziying's temporary bedroom.

Although Ziying was ordered to command the battle against Chu, the Qin army might have to make some new arrangements according to the new situation, and such a huge mobilization of troops should be reported, and it would be more appropriate to ask for Ziying's consent.

After reading the military report submitted by Han Xin, Ziying fell into deep thought for a while.

"Xiang Yu would show weakness like this. In history, this guy was so good-looking that he would rather kill himself in Wujiang than return to Jiangdong. How could he give up most of his land and retreat to Jiangdong before he reached the end of the road?"

Like Han Xin, Ziying couldn't understand why Xiang Yu made such a sudden decision when he first saw this military newspaper.

The general reported to his side.

"How does General Han think our army should respond?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Han Xin thought that Xiang Yu must not be sent back to Jiangdong, and Xiang Yu must be intercepted and wiped out before he returns to Jiangdong!" Ziying asked, and Han Xin replied immediately.

After listening to Han Xin's answer, Ziying nodded silently.

"go on."

"Previously our army intended to exhaust the enemy. In order to prevent the Chu army from jumping over the wall in a hurry, we did not cut off the Chu army's food road. Now that the decisive battle is imminent, I ask General Peng Yue to go south to Chu. .

In addition, the cavalry of our army can intensify the attack on the Chu army, and try to hold back the advance of the Chu army.

All the armies of our army also marched with all their strength, and fought a decisive battle with the Chu army before returning to Jiangdong! "

Han Xin slowly expressed his strategic layout.

After listening to Han Xin's plan, Ziying understood that Han Xin was going to completely cut off the Chu army's food road and was ready to fight the Chu army.

Although this plan will cause more casualties, it is already the best method. It would be troublesome if Xiang Yu, who did not know why he changed his nature, returned to the Jiangdong base area.

"Just follow the general's order and carry it out." Ziying said to Han Xin.

"promise!"

……

As soon as Xiang Yu sticks to Dongjiang's order, bad news from all over the country comes one after another.

Not only his own food roads were robbed, but cities all over the country fell.Moreover, Qin Jun, who had originally avoided fighting, began to block his itinerary day and night as if he was crazy.

Xiang Yu is not an idiot, seeing Qin Jun's actions and knowing his own actions, I am afraid that Qin Jun does not want to see it.

Whether a decision is correct or not can be easily seen from the opponent's performance. Now that the Qin army is doing everything possible to prevent him from returning to Jiangdong, it can also be seen that this is an extremely correct strategy at this stage.

If Xiang Yu had followed Fan Zeng's advice and retreated to Jiangdong when he was still in Qi State, Qin State would have been powerless to stop him.It is impossible for Xiang Yu, who has no division of troops, to allow Yingbo to return to Qin with [-] Chu troops so easily!

However, there is no medicine for regret in the world. If he had known that the Qin army would have this performance, according to Xiang Yu's character, he might use this to draw the main force of the Qin army to fight against him when he was strong and strong.

However, now that Xiang Yu understood that Qin Jun was afraid of returning to Jiangdong, he began to head towards Jiangdong at full speed.

However, due to the cut off of food roads, the Chu army needed to dispatch a large number of troops to search for food from the people wherever they went due to the shortage of food. The Chu army's advance speed was even slower than before.

Moreover, the main force of the Chu army and the food search team were often blocked by the Qin army, and the Chu army suffered heavy losses during the march.

The Chu army walked from Quyang City to Gaixia, but only a few hundred miles away, the Chu army actually walked for more than ten days!
When they arrived at Gaixia, it wasn't that Xiang Yu didn't want to go on, but that he couldn't go anymore. The Qin army's army directly abandoned the Chu city along the way, and rushed up to surround the Chu army in Gaixia.

After all the battle losses, the Chu army now has only 20 to [-] exhausted divisions left, while the number of the Qin army that has gathered all the troops around it exceeds [-]!
