Xiang Yu chose the road to attack Qin. He started from Xutai and attacked Zhanghan in the north. Now that he has completed it, the next step is to go west, from Hangu Pass to Tongguan, and fight all the way to Xianyang. This is what Xiang Yu originally told Xiang An. Arranged combat route.
Liu Ji's offensive route was from Xutai to Nanyang, along Wuguan Road, and towards Lantian.
While Xiang Yu's side was fighting vigorously to the death, Liu Ji's side once again recruited someone who was very easy to talk to.
His name is Li Shiqi.
Li Shiqi's identity is the same as that of the deceased Wu Ju, a strategist, but there is still a slight difference between the two, that is, experience.
Li Shiqi is over fifty years old. He is well-informed and capable. He is definitely much better than Wu Ju. Even the half-assed Pang Ze is definitely not as good as Li Shiqi.
At this point, the style of Liu Ji's team conquering Qincheng has become strange.
"The first is to attack the enemy, then the second is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the army, and the second is to attack the city." With an inexplicable smile on his face, Li Shiqi stroked his gray beard and looked at Liu Ji, who was sitting in the first place. "General, in my opinion, in a war, the worst option is to attack the city by force."
"We still have many Qin passes to conquer along the way. Is it possible that we have to conquer them one by one?"
"The quality of the Qin army in Wuguandao is uneven. Because of the existence of the violent Qin, these Qin generals have little will to resist." Li Shiqi narrowed his eyes, "As long as I let me enter the city and lobby, These generals who suffered deeply from the violence against Qin will surrender the city obediently."
"Are you...confident?" Although Liu Ji was a little excited, he still retained some sense.
"Yes." Li Shiqi nodded firmly, "A year earlier, I wouldn't have been so confident, but now..."
He chuckled and patted his leg: "Qin II and Zhao Gao have already completely blocked their retreat."
...
"Uncle Third, how much food and grass do we have left now?" Xiang Yu called Uncle Xiang and asked.
"It's enough for a three-month march. What's wrong? Do you need more food and grass?" Xiang Bo frowned and walked to the side.
He really wanted to slap Xiang Yu now.
On the eve of the Battle of Julu two days ago, the Chu army crossed the Huan River. In order to mobilize morale, Xiang Yu, after feeding everyone, burned the boats and fired the boats, which aroused the fighting spirit of the Chu army.
But in Xiang Bo's opinion, Xiang Yu just grabbed his stomach and punched him hard.
Was that the pot that was smashed? Was it the ship that sank? There were also various camp facilities, as well as the food and fodder on the boat, and various other messy things, which were all thrown into the river by Xiang Yu.
That's all money!
Xiang Yu nodded, raised his head and looked at Xiang Bo: "If necessary, if possible, let Liu Jinyu purchase more."
"A decisive battle with the Qin army?"
"Yes, I want to try to see if I can recruit the Qin army. Naturally, the more food and grass the better." Xiang Yu said, knocking on the table, "But there is no need to force it. Chu Di can't buy much food now, so I have prepared a second set of plans."
"What plan?" Xiang Bo raised his eyebrows.
Xiang Yu opened his mouth, but thought of Xiang An and shook his head.
"Let's talk about it later. The most important thing now is to fight." He shook his head, stood up, and walked out.
Xiang Bo couldn't help but let out a long sigh when he saw Xiang Yu leave as soon as possible without taking his third uncle seriously.
I don't know how long the silence lasted before I heard his voice again.
"What a fucking coward!"
...
"General! A letter from Xianyang!" The messenger rushed into Jin Qixiu's handsome tent in a panic and shouted loudly!
Jin Qixiu's eyes widened, he snatched the letter from the messenger's hand, tore it clean in a few times, threw it to the ground, and stepped on it hard.
"General..."
Jin Qixiu's eyes were red, the circles under his eyes were dark, and he was gnashing his teeth, as if he was crazy, which made the messenger standing next to him a little scared.
"Get out." Jin Qixiu stood there, his head lowered, his eyes covered by his hair, his voice cold and suppressed with anger.
"...Yes." The ordering soldier was a little helpless, so he bowed slightly and slowly exited the camp.
When the soldiers were ordered to retreat, Jin Qixiu stood there for a long, long time.
After a while, he slumped back to his seat, sat down, and rubbed his temples.
"General, what should I do now..." Jin Qixiu asked in a low voice with a sad look on his face.
Ever since he inherited Zhang Han's position as general, he has never had a good day.
Over in Xianyang, Hu Hai and Zhao Gao, the second emperor of Qin, kept urging him to hurry up and capture Xiang Yu. They had no intention of condolences for the loss, and showed no concern for Zhang Han's death. This made Jin Qixiu, who regarded Zhang Han as his teacher, feel Very angry.
But what can be done? He is still a general of the Qin Dynasty and leads the Qin Dynasty's army to fight.
However, this battle did not go well.
After Zhang Han's death, the morale of the Qin army plummeted, and it became even worse after they retreated to the north of Zhangshui River. Almost every day, they could catch several Qin soldiers trying to escape, which was almost a day compared to before.
The Chu army chased Zhangshui and continued to fight the Qin army. So far, they have fought two relatively large-scale battles. Jin Qixiu lost both of them. Wang Lijun didn't know what he was doing, and he couldn't help watching from the side. Intervening seemed to covet military power.
You are losing on the battlefield, your superiors are scolding you, your colleagues are peeking at your military power, Jin Qixiu...it is really numb now.
He also wants to win! He also wants to recreate the majesty of the Great Qin Divine Soldiers in the hands of Wang Jian, Meng Wu, Zhang Han, and those ancient generals of the Qin Dynasty! He now wants to lead his army to fight Xiang Yu's army back to Zhangshuinan, or even back to his hometown in Xutai!
But he couldn't do it.
He had this idea, but the situation of the Qin army was over.
It is almost impossible for this army to win the war.
This is not due to the incompetence of the generals, but...
"What on earth are these two brothers?" Jin Qixiu was puzzled.
On that day, Xiang Yu and Xiang An's brothers were like magic soldiers descending from the sky. They suddenly performed incomprehensible moves and smashed the Qin army's bones to pieces.
"...After all, why am I fighting the Chu army..."
Jin Qixiu lay on the table, confused and decadent.
Things have developed to this point, and he has almost become the target of a thousand people, even though he has done almost nothing wrong.
We can no longer win, so we still have to struggle?
The frontal battlefield collapsed at the first touch, and the Qin army could not defeat the Chu army at all.
Hu Hai and Zhao Gao of Xianyang were urging him to start a war with the Chu army every day, regardless of the current situation of the Qin army.
And Wang Li is even more short-sighted and stupid, and has never inherited the abilities and skills of his ancestors.
After pursing his lips, an idea quietly appeared in Jin Qixiu's mind.
