"I passed on the order of this general to summon males in the city, aged fifteen to fifty, to participate in defending the city. Whoever dares to disobey the order will be killed without mercy."

A moment later, a ruthless look flashed in Xiang Liang's eyes, and he gave such an order.

"promise."

General Chu left after his order.

Xiang Liang had to defend Suiyang City at all costs and persisted until Xiang Yu led the main force of the Chu army back.

Soon, a large number of Chu troops arrested male soldiers everywhere in Suiyang City, causing chaos in the whole city and public resentment.

On December 8, when Xu Feng led his troops to the city of Suiyang, Xiang Liang had already been in Suiyang City and forced to recruit tens of thousands of male men aged fifteen to fifty.

"Send the camp."

After Xu Feng led his troops, he issued an order.

More than 50,000 Qin troops camped outside Suiyang City and surrounded Suiyang on three sides.

"Fengxiao, starting tomorrow, you will arrange for the soldiers to log wood and build siege equipment, and you must make great contributions."

In the evening, Xu Feng called a meeting between the group and ordered Guo Jia.

"Don't worry, your Majesty, I understand."

Guo Jia said.

Zhao Yun, who was standing beside him, was a little puzzled: "Your Majesty, do we really want to attack Suiyang City?"

The walls of Suiyang City were strong, and Xiang Liang even fled back many remnants of the Chu army.

If they defended the city to the death, our army would have strong attacks, and there would be great casualties!"

"Ha ha."

When Xu Feng heard Zhao Yun say this, he smiled and asked, "Zilong, you said, how should we fight next?"

"Your Majesty, I think we can give up attacking Suiyang City, go north to cut off Xiang Yu's retreat, and attack the main force of the Chu army with Han Xin from north to south.

In this way, we will have the chance to eat Xiang Yu's main force in one battle."

"Ha ha."

When Xu Feng heard Zhao Yun say this, he laughed again.

Guo Jia, who was standing beside him, said, "What General Zilong said is actually what His Majesty thinks.

However, it is precisely because His Majesty wants to lead his troops north and intercept Xiang Yu that he needs to act for Xiang Liang in Suiyang City on Suiyang.

Otherwise, we went north with great fanfare, and we were afraid that Xiang Liang would have to send someone to notify Xiang Yu as soon as we left."

"So that's the case. It's because His Majesty and Lord Chang Feng are fully considerate and Zilong has received the teachings."

After hearing Guo Jia say this, Zhao Yun suddenly realized.

On the contrary, Lu Bu, who was standing aside, didn't care about these things.

The next day, the Qin army outside the city had been logging wood and building siege equipment, which was known to Xiang Liang in the city.

Let Xiang Liang firmly believe that the Qin army was preparing to attack the city.

On the tenth day, it suddenly rained heavily in Suiyang, and Xiang Liang in Suiyang City was overjoyed.

"Haha, it turns out that God blessed me, Da Chu. This heavy rain came too timely."

Xiang Liang was in the city, looking at the heavy rain, and shouted excitedly.

And just when Xiang Liang was happy about this sudden heavy rain, Guo Jia from Qin camp outside the city was also very surprised.

"Your Majesty, the time is here."

Guo Jia excitedly found Xu Feng and said.

"Well, I will lead the army north tonight, and I will leave it to my dear friend."

Xu Feng nodded and said to Guo Jia.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I'll leave Suiyang to the empress. Your Majesty is going north and be careful."

That night, Xu Feng led more than 40,000 main forces of the Qin army, and under the cover of heavy rain, left the Qin camp and led the army northward.

Guo Jia, with the remaining more than 10,000 Qin troops, continued to stay in the Qin army camp outside Suiyang City, confusing Xiang Liang in Suiyang City.

Xu Feng led his troops and headed north in the rain. On the 12th, he arrived at a small town called Tianping Town.

"Your Majesty, the soldiers marched for a day, were very tired, and were wet again, and needed rest.

Otherwise, if this continues, many soldiers may fall ill.”

Zhao Yun suggested to Xu Feng.

"Well, okay, then let's take a break in this small town and set off again tomorrow."

Xu Feng accepted Zhao Yun's proposal.

"In addition, I sent several scouts to the north to find out where the Chu army led by Xiang Yu was now?

What happened to the war between the Chu army and the Qi army?"

Then, Xu Feng said again.

"No, I will go and arrange it now."

After Zhao Yun left, Xu Feng looked at Lu Bu on the other side and said, "Fengxian, we are fighting with the Chu army again this time.

It is very likely that you will meet Xiang Yu again. Then you, I and Zhao Yun, will deal with Xiang Yu together. If you can keep him, it would be the best."

"No, if you really meet Xiang Yu again, neither Your Majesty nor Zhao Yun will take action, just leave it to me."

Lu Bu said indifferently.

"Are you sure?"

"Um."

"Okay, Xiang Yu will leave it to you by then."

Xu Feng didn't know how far Lu Bu's martial arts have progressed during this period.

Anyway, more than a year ago, Lu Bu was a half-step legendary general. Now more than a year has passed, I wonder if Lu Bu has crossed that threshold.

But since Lu Bu took the initiative to say this, Xu Feng decided to believe him once.

And just as Xu Feng led the army and rested in this small town to the south.

In Xiangyi, dozens of miles north, Xiang Yu was indeed leading the main force of the Chu army to retreat.

"withdraw."

Xiang Yu rode on a horse and shouted loudly at the surrounding Chu soldiers.

A group of Chu soldiers were rushing out from the west gate of Xiangyi and retreating south.

To the north, a group of Qi troops had already attacked the city and pursued the retreating Chu soldiers.

However, the pursuing Qi army was still blocked by several Chu troops in the city.

These Chu troops were left behind by Xiang Yu, in order to block the pursuit of Qi army and to gain time for Xiang Yu to lead the troops to withdraw.

"kill!"

But how could Han Xin let Xiang Yu go so easily?

This time, Han Xin brought more than 200,000 Qi troops, and his troops were very sufficient.

Therefore, Han Xin sent out to pursue the Chu army and blocked the withdrawal of Qi army from the Chu army. At this time, there were only three troops trapped in the city.

"Soldiers, kill Chu soldiers!"

Not long after Xiang Yu led his troops to withdraw from Xiangyi, he was ambushed by a Qi army and the two sides started a war.

In the end, the two armies fought for more than an hour, and the Qi army was defeated and retreated voluntarily.

Although this Qi army was defeated, it actually won.

Because, with more than 4,000 troops, they blocked the main force of the Chu army for an hour and a half, and finally caught up with the main force of the Qi army who was chasing behind.

After Han Xin led the main force of the Qi army to catch up with Xiang Yu, the two armies fought another battle.

In the end, Xiang Yu led the Chu army to retreat voluntarily, and the losses were considerable.

In this way, Xiang Yu retreated all the way south, and Han Xin led the army to chase him desperately.

The casualties of the retreating Chu soldiers were far greater than those of the Qi soldiers who were chasing them, but now Xiang Yu doesn't care about these things.

Even more than 200,000 Chu troops had been dispersed into three groups and were quickly retreating south, with only one target, Suiyang City.

"King, go quickly, Qi army is catching up again."

Xiang Yu led his troops to an abandoned village and let his soldiers rest for a while, when general Chu came to panic and shouted.
