There were 200,000 Qin Great Wall Corps on the Julu battlefield and 80,000 troops directly under Zhang Han. Of course, such a huge army would not be able to quickly evacuate the combat area in a short period of time. Fortunately, Zhang Han has always been good at managing the army. Wang Li, who was also a famous general of the Great Wall Corps, was a family-born food craft. Therefore, it took only one day for more than 200,000 Qin troops on the Julu battlefield to quickly prepare for retreat, and took action to carry out the retreat early in the morning of the third day when Zhang Han decided to withdraw his troops.

The retreat plan arranged by Zhang Han was very orderly. First, the Qin army of the Great Wall Corps escorted the food and grass to withdraw first. Zhang Han led the troops to rank second. Wang Li led the main force of the Great Wall Corps to rank third. The important task behind the palace was taken by Wang Li's general Shumi. At the same time, in order to prevent the main force of the Chu army from crossing the river immediately, the Qin army stationed in the sand dunes was arranged by Zhang Han to temporarily hold the troops and wait for the main force to set sail in turn before coming west to go south with the main force of the Qin army.

Of course, the Qin army's actions were discovered by the anti-Qin coalition forces at the first time, but unfortunately, because of its weak power and Zhang Han used a plan to get a vaccination in advance, neither the Julu defenders nor the other anti-Qin troops in the northern suburbs of Julu did not dare to take the opportunity to send troops to stop them, entangling the Qin army's retreat speed, not to mention the Qi army and Yan army that had even been taken over by the Qin army before.

The same is true for the Chu army. Although Xiang Yu never minded or was afraid of taking risks, because Old Man Fan, who made the wrong judgment, tried to dissuade him, and the main force of the Chu army did not take the opportunity to initiate a rush to cross the ferry. It was only after the Qin garrison in the dunes voluntarily retreated that Xiang Yu ordered the Chu army soldiers to build a floating bridge on the Zhangshui River and set out to cross the Zhangshui River.

At this time, different voices sounded again inside the Chu army. After learning about the movements of the Qin army outside Julu City through the scouts, Liu Laosan, who should not have appeared on the Julu battlefield, found something wrong and hurriedly said to Xiang Yu: "Former General, the situation is wrong. The tyrant Qin army transferred food, supplies and gave up the camp. Why do I think they are really retreating? If the tyrant Qin army was to lure us to start a pursuit, is this money too much? They are not afraid of seducing the enemy and working hard for a waste of time, so that the trapped Julu army can escape from the sky?"

"This man has insight, knows the smallest, and has a sharp mind."

The personal soldiers surnamed Han raised their eyebrows and looked at Liu Laosan, who was usually low-key in the Chu camp, and at the same time, the personal soldiers surnamed Han also hurried to see Xiang Yu's reaction. But unfortunately, although Xiang Yu was obviously hesitant, he still said: "No wonder, Julu City is solid. The army without rescuers had not been able to capture the Qin army for a long time. Now all kinds of reinforcements have gathered in Julu. Of course, the Qin army is not sure that they can break Julu. They have some money to tempt us to pursue. This is almost worth taking advantage of the Qin army."

"Is this true?" Liu Laosan was skeptical. After a little calculation, Liu Laosan simply said: "Former General, why not do this? Let me take my army to cross the river immediately to chase and kill the newly withdrawn garrisons of the tyrant Qin Sand Dunes to see what their reaction is. If there is really something wrong, my few soldiers and small targets can also withdraw immediately."

"Pei Gong, you can't take risks." Old Man Fan, who currently has a good impression of Liu Laosan, spoke and persuaded: "You have only 8,000 troops under your command. Even if you launch a pursuit immediately, it will not play a big role. If there is any accident, the consequences will still be unimaginable."

Liu Laosan is not a person who likes to joke about his direct army, but based on various enemy analysis, Liu Laosan, who is intuitive, insists on asking for orders to pursue, and refuses to listen no matter how Old Man Fan advises him. As a result, the personal soldiers surnamed Han next to him could not bear it and stood up again and said, "Former General, Xiaozhang thought Pei Gong's suspicion was right. Judging from the actions of the tyrannical Qin army, they were not as if they were deliberately seducing the enemy, but were really retreating. Our army should seize the opportunity to start the pursuit, and never miss the opportunity to fight."

"Bold! How dare you talk here?" Xiang Bo on the other side was furious when he heard this, and immediately jumped out and shouted: "Come on, take down this little pawn who was talking nonsense, push down and behead him!"

Fortunately, Feng Zhong, who had personally discovered the Han soldiers, was also on the scene and hurriedly stood up to plead with mercy: "Master, calm down, the former general is merciful. Han Xin had always allowed him to speak freely when he was under the tent of the general. It was because the general had spoiled him. He also asked the master and the former general to spare him this time."

Feng Zhong, who once had the same deputy generals as Xiang Yu under Xiang Liang's tent, was quite popular. For Feng Zhong's sake, Xiang Yu nodded and waved his hand to arrest the soldiers who had taken the Han soldiers to retreat. Feng Zhong was greedy and bowed to Xiang Yu and said, "Former General, the last general also thought that the retreat of the tyrant Qin army was very strange. It may be that it was really preparing to retreat south. Please allow the former general to allow the last general to command the troops to cross the river first, pursue the tyrant Qin army retreated from the sand dunes, and test their reactions."

Feng Zhong's words finally moved Xiang Yu. He liked to take risks when using troops, and his ears were very soft. Seeing that Liu Laosan and Feng Zhong insisted on sending troops to pursue immediately, Xiang Yu hesitated for a while, and nodded and said, "Okay, then let General Feng lead his troops to pursue the pursuit. Pei Gong led his army to follow him and report the pursuit to me at any time. But remember, if the situation is wrong, you must withdraw immediately. Do not greedy for merit and make progress lightly."

Feng Zhong bowed and gave a wink to the personal soldiers of Han first, using the excuse to teach him a lesson that he should not interfere casually, asking Xiang Yu to agree to bring him to the side alone. The personal soldiers of Han were also Feng Zhong's confidants. He whispered as soon as he arrived: "After catching up with the enemy, immediately form a formation and fight. Regardless of whether the tyrant Qin army divides troops to reinforce the enemy you are chasing, you will only take a defensive moment to meet the enemy. If the tyrant Qin army really intends to retreat, it will definitely not be entangled with you for a long time and will only leave the battlefield as soon as possible. But if the enemy is about to collapse and is defeated immediately, then you must not take the risk of pursuing."

Feng Zhong nodded with understanding and quickly led more than 5,000 people from the headquarters to cross the Zhang River and lightly chased the Qin army troops who had retreated from the sand dunes. Then Liu Laosan immediately brought his headquarters to cross the river and followed Feng Zhong's troops from afar, ready to respond to Feng Zhong who might encounter danger at any time.

Feng Zhong's troops, who were chasing lightly, were very fast. Before the Qin army's sand dune garrison had time to catch up with the main force of the Qin army, Feng Zhong's troops had already chased them behind them. The sand dune garrison had no choice but to turn around and fight. Feng Zhongze kept in mind the instructions of the Han soldiers and decisively let the troops of the headquarters form a round formation and take a defensive posture to deal with the Qin army's counterattack.

At this moment, the Qin army's tactical policy also showed contradictions and chaos. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Zhang Han not only strictly blocked the news that the young commander's army had taken Puyang, but also claimed in the army that retreated south to lure the enemy. Although this successfully avoided the chaos in the army, it also caused the Dune garrison, who was caught by Feng Zhong, to be at a loss. I don't know whether to take the initiative to retreat but continue to lure the enemy, or to resolutely attack the formation and kill Feng Zhong's troops, which were not strong enough, so the Dune garrison had no choice but to form a formation to confront Feng Zhong while sending a fast horse to contact the main force and request Zhang Han to make a decision.

Zhang Han was indeed very decisive. After receiving the report, in order to cover the main force and quickly withdraw from the Julu battlefield, Zhang Han decisively ordered the Shakuen garrison to launch a counterattack, preparing to bluff the main force of the Chu army first, and then withdraw the Shakuen Qin army. As a result, the order was sent to the front line, and the Shakuen garrison also attacked Feng Zhong's army without hesitation and fought fiercely with Feng Zhong's troops in the eastern suburbs of Julu.

The battle was very fierce. The Qin army in Shaqiu, which had the superior force, divided into three groups and attacked Feng Zhong's round formation from three directions, and once surrounded Feng Zhong's round formation. However, Liu Laosan, who arrived later, disrupted Zhang Han's wishful thinking. Seeing that Feng Zhong had successfully entangled the Qin army in Shaqiu, he confirmed that the Qin army did not divide the troops to pick him up. Liu Laosan seized the opportunity and immediately launched an attack, cooperated with Feng Zhongli and outside, killing the Qin army in Shaqiu to the point of being unable to resist, and was forced to withdraw hastily.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the Qin army voluntarily withdrawing, Feng Zhong and Liu Laosan hurriedly met on the battlefield and quickly discussed and decided that Feng Zhong would continue to lead the army to pursue. Liu Laosan continued to cover up. Then Feng Zhong's troops strode to pursue the Qin army's rear team led by Shema. As a result, Shema did not hesitate and immediately turned around and fought with the Qin army. Feng Zhong immediately formed a formation again and once again started a formation battle with the Qin army.

When fighting with Shema, which had a force of up to 30,000, Feng Zhong's troops faced a greater pressure. He was surrounded by Shema almost from the beginning, and was suppressed to have the ability to resist and had no power to fight back. Liu Laosan, who came afterwards, did not dare to take risks to attack. He quickly formed a round formation and slowly moved closer to Feng Zhong's military formation. However, Shema was merciless. While continuing to beat the trapped Feng Zhong, he divided his troops to stop Liu Laosan and did not give Liu Laosan and Feng Zhonghui a chance.

At this time, the main force of the Chu army, who had sufficient preparations, had already built a sufficient number of floating bridges on the Zhangshui River. At the same time, the situation of Feng Zhong and Liu Laosan was reported to Xiang Yu by the Chu army scouts, and immediately caused huge debate among the generals of the Chu army. Some people thought that troops should be sent to reinforce Feng Liu's second army immediately, and some people thought that Feng Zhong and Liu Laosan's troops should be withdrawn as soon as possible to concentrate their forces together to prevent the situation. Xiang Yu was hesitant, and while asking the main force of the Chu army to cross the Zhangshui immediately, he quickly discussed countermeasures with Old Man Fan, Cao Ju and others.

Fortunately, Chu Bawang is Chu Bawang after all. Although many of the generals of the Chu army are still worried that after dispatching the main force to reinforce Feng Liu's second army, the main force of the Qin army would give the Qin army the opportunity to take the opportunity to start a decisive battle, Xiang Yu, who was very confident in his military capabilities, thought about it and waved his hand and shouted: "Go to reinforce Feng Zhong and Liu Ji, and the decisive battle will be the decisive battle. We are still afraid that Zhang Han will not be able to succeed?!"

After Cao Ju led his troops to transport food and grass, the main force of the Chu army was still advanced westward under the leadership of Xiang Yu, and rushed to the southern suburbs of Julu at full speed to reinforce Feng Zhong and Liu Laosan. Tian An, the general of the Qi army who rebelled against Qi and joined Chu, also led the troops to follow him, risking the opportunity to fight the main force of the Qin army to approach the enemy. - By the way, at this time, Master Xiang Bo of the poor in his health, of course, found that his condition worsened, and took the initiative to ask to stay in Cao Ju's army and assist Cao Ju in leading the rear army to transport food and grass.

It was Zhang Han's turn to complain. Originally, the Chu army pursued a large amount of pursuit, and the Qin army had the opportunity to take the opportunity to launch a decisive battle in the field, but if this was done, it would definitely completely disrupt the retreat opportunity of the main force of the Qin army. Once the main force of the Chu army could not be quickly defeated in the field, it would be delayed, so that Xiang Kang would definitely contact the main force of the Chu army. Then the main force of the Chu army would definitely bite the main force of the Qin army. At that time, the main force of the Qin army would want to successfully cross the Zhang River and Huan River to Jiyuan south, and would definitely have to pay a heavy price during the crossing of the river. So after hesitating for a moment, Zhang Han could only decide to take the risk and continue to be weak, and sent a quick horse to send a command from the Shejian to immediately lead the army to retreat south, and at any cost to get rid of Feng Zhong and Liu Laosan's entanglement, so that the main force of the Chu army could not judge the purpose of the movement of the army, and was timid and dared not pursue it to the end.

Zhang Han's move did confuse the Chu army's pursuit. The Hanma army, who was originally in an advantageous situation, suddenly retreated at the forefront. He would rather pay a certain price in a hasty retreat than quickly leave the battlefield. Feng Zhong and Liu Laosan, who were originally at a disadvantage, were inevitably nervous and could not figure out what the medicine was selling in Zhang Han's gourd. They were afraid of falling into the trap of the Qin army, so Feng Zhong and Liu Laosan simply gave up the pursuit for the time being and chose to wait for the main force to come and meet.

After a while, Xiang Yu personally led the main force of the Chu army to the scene. Liu Laosan and Feng Zhong rushed forward to welcome the Marquis and reported the pursuit to Xiang Yu personally. During this period, Feng Zhong naturally had to peek at the reaction of the Han soldiers. The Han soldiers understood the knowledge and whispered to the direction where the Qin army retreated. Feng Zhong then felt relieved and said to Xiang Yu again: "Former General, the last general thinks that we should continue to pursue. Even if we don't take the risk of attacking, we must entangle the main force of the violent Qin, so that they can't move south calmly and then act according to the opportunity."

Feng Zhong's suggestion of risk prevention was of course opposed by many Chu generals, but it was still fine. The overlord of Chu Xiang Yu always liked to risk prevention. After hesitating for a moment, Xiang Yu still made up his mind and said loudly: "Chase! Let's entangle the main force of the violent Qin Dynasty first!"

After saying that, Xiang Yu also arranged people to rush to the northern suburbs of Julu to contact other anti-Qin Yi troops, told them their decisions, and asked other anti-Qin Yi troops to go south to participate in the pursuit. Then, despite the dissuasion of many civil and military officials of the Chu army, Xiang Yu resolutely led the main force of the Chu army to go south to pursue, carefully maintaining the distance from the main force of the Qin army, and quickly following the main force of the Qin army.

The enemy was too small, and Xiang Yu's decision to pursue the main force of the Qin army with weak forces was of course extremely dangerous, but it was wrong. His decision happened to hit Zhang Han's life gate, making the retreat speed of the main force of the Qin army unable to rise anyway. What's worse is that at this time, the front team of the Qin army that retreated first had already arrived at the north bank of the Zhang River (the Zhang River surrounded Julu in a semicircle). If the front team was asked to cross the river immediately, the main force of the Chu army would definitely guess that the Qin army was really preparing to retreat rather than lure the enemy. Zhang Han was forced to have no other choice, so he could only order the front team not to cross the river and form a formation on the spot to meet the enemy. At the same time, he led the main force of the Qin army to speed up the south and rushed to the small pavilion on the north bank of the Zhang River to form a formation back and form a formation, intending to wait until the main force of the Chu army chased him near, and then cross the river calmly.

This time, Zhang Han underestimated Xiang Yu's military capabilities. The Chu army scout had just discovered that the main force of the Qin army formed a formation on the north bank of the Zhangshui River. Without asking anyone for advice, Xiang Yu decisively ordered the main force of the Chu army to stop advancing more than ten miles away from the north bank of the Zhangshui River, and immediately began to repair defensive fortifications to prevent the main force of the Qin army from launching a large-scale counterattack.

Still afraid of fighting both sides of the wolf. When things got to this point, the main force of the Chu army still didn't know how to fight the next battle. Should we must be brave enough to fight head-on with the Qin army, or should we wait for the opportunity to cross the river to carry out an assault, or should we run away immediately when the situation is not good? In addition, other anti-Qin Yi troops on the Julu battlefield were afraid of giving the main force of the Qin army the opportunity to take the opportunity to fight to the decisive battle, and they did not dare to bring troops south to reinforce the main force of the Chu army. So let alone the generals of the Chu army, even Xiang Yu made up his mind early and decided that as long as the Qin army counterattacked in large numbers, he would immediately take the main force of the Chu army away.

By the way, the reason why Xiang Yu dared to burn his boats in history was because there were two very important objective reasons at that time. First, Zhang Han's main force was Jiyuan far away from the Julu battlefield, and was temporarily restrained by the Chu army's partial division Yingbu and Chai Wu's troops, and could not immediately go north to reinforce Julu. Second, the anti-Qin coalition forces on the Julu battlefield were strong and had many helpers. At the same time, Wang Li's army also had insufficient food and grass supply, so Xiang Yu dared to launch an attack on Wang Li's corps at all costs. Now these two objective reasons do not exist. The main force of the Chu army was alone in fighting the complete Great Wall Corps with less than 50,000 troops, and the 80,000 elite troops under Zhang Han's command. Of course, Xiang Yu did not dare to fight to the end.

Back to the topic, just as the Chu army and Xiang Yu were both worried, the Chu army scout who had sent out all the sermons suddenly escorted a young man, saying that it was a suspicious person found in Quliangting on the west side, and said that the man claimed to be the messenger sent by Xiang Kang to contact the main force of the Chu army. When Xiang Yu heard this, he was overjoyed and ordered the man to be brought to him. As a result, the man who was a deer-headed rat was brought to Xiang Yu. Before Xiang Yu could ask about his identity and origin, Feng Zhong next to him was already surprised and asked: "Weishan? Why are you?"

"Chief Feng, are you here too?" Wei Shan, who was once a soldier at the Lingting Ting, also recognized his old boss at a glance and said impatiently: "Chief Feng, good news, great news! The right general has taken Puyang and cut off the food route of the tyrant Qin army. As long as you entangle the tyrant Qin army for a period of time, the tyrant Qin army will be out of food!"

"What? Brother, he has already taken Puyang?!"

Xiang Yu's joy was of course extraordinary. He quickly asked Feng Zhong about Wei Shan's origin and identity, confirmed that Wei Shan was indeed Xiang Kang's accomplice, and asked clearly that Xiang Kang had informed the main force of the Chu army as soon as possible, and sent three secret envoys to take three different roads to the Julu battlefield. After reading Xiang Kang's handwritten letter, Xiang Yu of course cheered and shouted excitedly: "No wonder the tyrant Qin army had to withdraw their troops in a hurry. It turned out that Ah-jeong had cut off their food route. If they did not escape quickly, they would definitely be dead!"

"So the situation is so beneficial to us!" The generals of the Chu army were also ecstatic, and then they all said fortunately: "Fortunately, we entangled the main force of the tyrannical Qin army and did not give them the chance to cross the Zhang River calmly. Otherwise, we would have missed the rare fighter plane!"

When the Chu generals cheered, the Han soldiers suddenly winked at Feng Zhonglian. After Feng Zhong finally found out, he hurriedly walked to the Han soldiers casually. The Han soldiers seized the opportunity and quickly whispered in Feng Zhong's ear. Feng Zhong showed joy and changed his position casually and said to Xiang Yu: "Former General, if nothing unexpected happens, the right general will successfully cut off the food route of the tyrant Qin army. Zhang Han Mu must not dare to announce the news of the tyrant Qin soldiers. Since this is the case, we should immediately send some cavalry south to the formation of the tyrant Qin army to loudly promote the news that their food route has been cut off by us, so as to hit the morale of the tyrant Qin army. Zhang Han Mu Mu knew that we had contacted the right general, and would definitely be in chaos. Looking forward and behind, it would be much easier for our army to take the opportunity to defeat the enemy."

"Good idea! Just do it! Go and do it now!"
Chapter completed!
