After Xu Feng sent troops to Nanyang County, Liu Bang's army had defeated Xiang Liang, captured Deng County, Zhuyang and other places south of Nanyang County, and headed towards Wancheng, Nanyang County.

In late July of the sixth year of Qin II, Liu Bang led 30,000 troops to surround Wancheng, and surrounded nearly 10,000 Chu troops including Xiang Liang and others, and surrounded Wancheng.

Liu Bang was still happy and felt that Nanyang County was already his possession.

Liu Bang captured Nanyang County with great significance. After he seized Nanyang, he had a barrier to the north and even had the opportunity to compete for Luoyang.

"Report to the king, there are Qin troops coming from the north, with a large number of at least 50,000 people.

The vanguard cavalry of the Qin army will be able to arrive here in half a day.”

A Han soldier rushed to Liu Bang in a hurry to report.

"What, the Qin army is here?

Damn Hu Hai, is he going to get some tricks too?"

Liu Bang's face suddenly became cold and he said angrily.

"Your Majesty, the Qin army has also sent troops to Nanyang, so it will not be easy for us to occupy Wancheng.

Once we attacked the city, we fought with the Chu army in Xiangliang in the city, and both sides suffered losses.

At that time, the Qin army will be given an opportunity.

Now, it’s no longer appropriate for us to attack Nanyang.”

Wang Ling beside Liu Bang said to Liu Bang with a serious expression.

"Well, I know this.

Even if we can't get Wancheng, we can't get the Qin army.

Even if Wancheng has always been in control of the Chu army, it cannot be taken away by the Qin army."

Liu Bang said coldly.

Liu Bang actually didn't hate the Qin Dynasty before.

But as Liu Bang suffered great losses many times in the hands of the Qin army, he gradually held a grudge against Xu Feng and Da Qin, and even surpassed Xiang Yu.

"Wang Ling, what should I do now? Do you have to withdraw my troops?"

Liu Bang still couldn't make a decision for a moment, so he asked Wang Ling, who was beside him.

"King, withdraw your troops, let the Qin army and Xiang Liang go to Wancheng. Wancheng is not of great value to us.

The main target of the future development plan formulated by Zhang Liang and the king was not Qin.

At this time, there is no need for us to go to war with the Qin army in Nanyang."

Wang Ling, who was standing beside him, tried his best to persuade Liu Bang.

Liu Bang also understood very well that it would not make much sense if he continued to stay here to besiege Wancheng.

Moreover, Liu Bang remembered that Zhang Liang had formulated a development route for him to fight for hegemony, and that the tyrannical Qin in the north was not their most priority enemy.

In the future, Liu Bang will try his best to avoid going to war with the Qin army.

So, Liu Bang finally followed Wang Ling's persuasion and ordered the withdrawal of troops.

"Retreat."

"General, has the Han army withdrawn outside the city?"

On the wall of Wancheng, a Chu soldier looked at the retreating Han army and ran to Xiang Liang with excitement.

"I saw it."

Xiang Liang said coldly.

"Strangely, the Han army besieged Wancheng with the momentum of victory. As long as they were given a period of time, Wancheng would inevitably fall.

But at this time, why did the Han army withdraw? What was Liu Bang thinking?"

Xiang Liang was also confused at this time.

It was not until two days after Liu Bang led the Han army and withdrew, that more Qin troops in black appeared outside Wancheng that Xiang Liang understood why Liu Bang withdrew before.

"General, the Overlord sent an order to give up Nanyang and retreat to Chen County."

At the same time, Xiang Liang also received news from Xiang Yu sent someone from Pengcheng at this time.

"What! Do you want this general to retreat to Chen County, Nanyang County?"

Xiang Liang did not want to obey this order.

"General, we have just fought a decisive battle with the Han army, and our strength is seriously exhausted.

Now that we are going to go to war with the Qin army, we are probably not the opponent of the Qin army.

If the general's troops are lost, it will be completed.

At that time, the overlord's troops on the Western Front will appear very weak.

If the Qin army continues to attack eastward and kills Chen County, we can't stop it even if we want to."

"Well, I will obey the orders of the Overlord and lead the troops to retreat to Chen County, and will never let one soldier and one soldier go east to pass Chen County."

Xiang Liang finally compromised and ordered to abandon Wancheng and retreat east to Chenjun.

"However, even if we withdraw, we cannot hand Wancheng over the Qin army."

"Come on, set fire!"

Before Xiang Liang led his troops to withdraw from Wancheng, Xiang Liang ordered the entire city to burn Wancheng.

On July 26, Xu Feng personally led his troops to Wancheng, and all the Chu troops in the city were taken away by Xiang Liang.

The Qin army won Wancheng without bloodshed.

"Damn Xiang Liang, when you fall into my hands, I will definitely deal with you well."

Xu Feng stood outside Wancheng City on a horse, looking at the city that had been burned into ruins by the fire. Some of the fires in the city had not yet burned out and were still burning.

Seeing this scene, it would be strange if Xu Feng was not angry.

After being burned by Xiang Liang, even if Xu Feng finally captured Wancheng, he would still be ruins. How could he not be angry?

"The whole army went to the city to put out the fire."

Xu Feng issued an order to enter the city to put out the fire.

Within the next half month, Xu Feng led the Qin army to capture most of Nanyang County, only the southernmost area of ​​Deng County and Zhu County, which was firmly controlled by the Han army.

The mountains in this area were undulating, and it was not a matter of indifference that the Qin army wanted to drive away the Han army and take them back.

In the end, Xu Feng also chose to give up here.

At this time, Xu Feng occupied half of Sanchuan County and most of Nanyang County, and compressed the territory of the original King Han Cheng again, limiting it to a small area of ​​Luoyang.

Half a month later, Xu Feng received the news that Han Xin sent troops to attack the Yin Kingdom in the east, and the troops came to Chaoge City, forcing King Yin Sima Ang to surrender to him.

Han Xin obtained all the territory under Sima Ang and expanded his power to the Wuyang area.

It was at this time that Han Cheng, the king of Han in the south, realized that something was wrong and that a small prince like him would be destroyed in the future.

Instead of living a nervous life every day, King Han Cheng of Han finally decided to surrender to Xiang Yu.

In this way, Xiang Yu naturally took Han Cheng's capital Yangdi City, and Xiang Yu also controlled all of Yingchuan County.

"Han Xin got Dongjun, and Xiang Yu also took Yingchuanjun. If I still sat and watched, wouldn't even Luoyang be taken away by the two of them?

Since that's the case, I don't have to be afraid of anything.

Luoyang, I want it."

Two days later, the Qin army arrived at the city of Luoyang, and the Han army guards in Luoyang were obediently opening the city to surrender, allowing the Qin army to enter the city.

At this point, Luoyang fell into Xu Feng's bag.

"Your Majesty, although Luoyang has been captured by us, Xingyang to the east is still a land without a border.

Your Majesty wants to send troops to seize Xingyang, which is the gateway to Luoyang in the east.

Only when Xingyang is in our hands can we feel at ease."

After Guo Jia followed Xu Feng into Luoyang City, he immediately said to Xu Feng.

"Well, Fengxiao is right. Xingyang is extremely important for us and Han Xin.

I guess at this time, Han Xin was sending people to Xingyang."

"Jin Da, pass on my order immediately.

Let Huang Zhong lead 10,000 troops and rush to Xingyang quickly, and be sure to take Xingyang in control."

"promise."

Four days later, Xu Feng received bad news in Luoyang.
