Famous scholars choose good trees to live in.

Chen Yu's stubbornness exhausted Zhang Liang's only patience. In a disheartened state, Zhang Liang left Chen Yu's power, which made Chen Yu, the cheap King Zhao, even less likely to turn the tables. The ignorant Gong Bi Zilong and others have some skills in internal fighting, but as for making suggestions, they are completely blind.

The balance of the battlefield evolved towards the side that was beneficial to the Qin army in a bit by bit. Under the ubiquitous attack of the Qin army's stone throwing cart, Chen Yudong hid in Tibet and still could not completely get rid of the possibility of being hit. In the end, he could only order the soldiers to set up wooden shields and strive to resist the bombing from the air again and again.

Of course, if Chen Yu could be more flexible, follow Li Qi's approach and fall into a big shot, the stone-throwing cart would have to blindly attack the Zhao army's brigade.

He was only passively beaten but could not attack his opponent hiding in the Qin army formation, which made Chen Yu, who was stubborn, fall into a state of madness. He attacked, attacked again, and defeated the opponent in front of him. This was the only clear command issued by Chen Yu during the entire battle.

Taking Liu Bang's death as the dividing line, the main force of the Qin and Zhao armies fought over Julu for five days, perhaps inheriting the bloodline of the tragic Zhao army back then. The generals and soldiers in Zhao were much more brave than soldiers in other places. On the afternoon of the third day, Li Qi, who had been struggling to support, was killed by Su Jiaozhen, and the right wing of the Zhao army also lost its combat effectiveness.

After losing the protection of the left and right wings, more than 40,000 people from Chen Yu's army were attacked by the Qin army in multiple ways. Su Jiao's heavy cavalry continued to attack the weak areas of the Zhao army regardless of fatigue. This made the Zhao army finally lose sight of one thing and could no longer support it. In the unfavorable situation, Chen Yu ordered to retreat to the city and try to defend it based on the strong city.

"Chasing!" Li Yuan let out a long sigh and shouted loudly.

"kill!"

The old Qin army soldiers who had been blocked by Julu City for several months saw the Zhao army fleeing, and the generals at all levels who were red-eyed almost rushed to the city gate without waiting for Li Yuan's order. Gan Yong and Cao Xin two Qin troops chased each other too quickly. When their troops arrived at the city, there was a Zhao army brigade close to ten thousand people behind them.

The Qin army and the Zhao army were entangled all the way into Julu City. This melee between the enemy and the enemy made Chen Yu completely lose the ability to command operations. Even if his order was issued, the messengers did not know where to find the troops that received the order. Without the command of the general, the Zhao army in the city became even more chaotic. They didn't know whether they went forward to block the Qin army or simply abandoned the city and escaped.

Compared with the at a loss of knowledge, the Qin army's hierarchy system strictly implemented by the Qin army played an important role in the melee. Under the command of their respective lieutenants, military marquis and generals, the scattered small troops penetrated the depth of the Zhao army's hinterland. The many days of war made these Qin army generals' eyes red. They had no fear or fear in their hearts. They had only the desire to win more honors.

"A man's husband, you will make achievements at this time." Chang'an City is full of everything, and the comfortable new life makes middle and lower-level officers and ordinary soldiers envious of them. They long for one day to let their wives and children live in such a place and live a happy life where they can take a bath once a day.

——.

April 4th.

At noon, the fierce battle in the city came to an end. The Zhao soldiers who had lost their fighting spirit began to put down their weapons and surrender in large numbers, which made the Qin army units busy all of a sudden.

At the same time, King Chen Yu of Zhao saw that the situation was hopeless, so he hurriedly led Gong Chengzilong and other confidants to escape from the north gate and fled towards Xiangguo and Daiguo. Chen Yu's original intention was to run to the north to meet Xia Shuo, so that he could lean on Yanguo and get a chance to breathe.

Unfortunately, his plan turned into a silence under the pursuit of Su Jiao's cavalry. On April 7, Su Jiao personally led a cavalry to chase him all the way, and finally captured and killed Chen Yu, who had escaped only a few dozen people in the plain area.

Chen Yu died in battle.

The 80,000 troops on the battlefield on the southern front of the Zhao army were destroyed in the blink of an eye. Among them, more than 30,000 soldiers were killed and injured, and nearly 50,000 Zhao soldiers became prisoners of the Qin army.

Mid-April.

The Qin army went north with Han Xin and his army to attack the remnants of Zhao's army, and finally completely annihilated the remnants of the Zhao army in Daidi. After Xia said that there was no hope of resistance, he chose to lead the remaining troops to surrender.

At this point, after nearly half a year, the offensive and defensive battles around Zhao ended with the Qin army's defeat of the Zhao army. The 60,000 Qin army who went to Zhao State died directly in battle, and another 15,000 injured were the same. The loss ratio of this battle was much less than that of the Zhao army, but it also showed from the other side that the Qin army was not easy to win.

However, few people knew about the Qin army's war damage. In this regard, Li Yuan blocked the news very closely. Yan Le's Military Information Department not only accelerated the infiltration of enemy forces during this period, but also strictly controlled the speech within the Qin army. This information asymmetry made the invincible myth of the Qin army widely circulated among the princes.

When the King of Western Wei, Wei Bao, heard that Chen Yu was defeated, quickly ordered the reinforcements not far from Julu to return quickly. This decision forced Chen Yu, who was defeated and prepared to join the Wei army, to go north alone until he was finally destroyed.

In the north, the Yan army retreated no slower than the Wei army. The Yan army had few troops. This time, the 5,000 reinforcements were the limit for Yan's troops to be deployed. After withdrawing from Zhao, the Yan army arranged defense along the Yishui River and nervously built a simple line of defense.

Among the forces north of the river, the only calm one is the troops of Changshan Hou Zhonglimei. Zhonglimei, who had escaped from Xiang Yu's independence after the battle at Hulao Pass, was disturbed by the envoys from Chu State recently. The meaning of Chu State was very clear, and she hoped that Zhonglimei would return.

Unfortunately, the ideas of Xiang Yu, Xiang Tuo and others were wishful thinking at best. After sweeping away the remaining forces of Zhang Er in Changshan, Zhonglimei basically gained a foothold and independently developed into a small force. Although it was much weaker than a great prince like Chen Yu, she would rather be the head of a chicken than the queen of a cow. After taking the first step, Zhonglimei could no longer look back.

The Qin army won a great victory.

Both Kanto were shocked, and even the Western Chu government and opposition, who had made up their minds to fight for the long term, vibrated together. The internal friction between the two factions in Chu ended with the Xiang family's complete victory.

Pengcheng.

The civil strife gradually subsided and everything returned to normal.

After purged Kuai Che's power and successfully completed the suppression of the foreign relative Yu family, Xiang's family had completely mastered the government affairs of the Western Chu State. Che was thrown into prison, Shusun Tong was demoted, and An Qisheng was killed. New forces that gave the Chu State a different atmosphere were defeated.

In terms of the power of foreign relatives, due to the existence of five Jiangnan Meiji, the relationship between Yu Ji and Xiang Yu who were distressed was gradually no longer so close. This result also indirectly affected the army. Yu Ziqi, the only remaining five tiger general, gradually lost his voice in the army.

At the same time, there was another once prominent figure in the Chu court who officially left. Ya's father Fan Zeng died of old age in Pengcheng. Compared with the depressed ending in history, Fan Zeng's ending was better, but in these last two years, Fan Zeng had actually been abandoned by Xiang Yu.

An old, rigid think tank is obviously not what Chu State needs.

After searching for many ways, the Chu regime under Xiang Yu gradually became a force group that relied on clan power.

Among this group, the most core figure is undoubtedly Xiang Yu, but behind Xiang Yu, Xiang Tuo, Xiang Sheng and others gradually supported the Chu State's support, and the young Xiang Zhuang was the one with the most development potential in this support.

"Over King, Qin and Zhao have already divided the results. Although Chen Yu was defeated, the Qin army's losses will definitely not be small. Our army has been raising energy for a long time now. It is better to take advantage of the fatigue of the Qin army and set a stable foothold in Zhao to mobilize a large army to expel the Qin thieves to restore the reputation of our great Chu." At the court meeting, Xiang Zhuang, who represented the young force, spoke loudly. His proposal was full of enterprising spirit, which made people unable to help but look at Xiang Zhuang with admiration.

"The overlord, General Xiang Zhuang's proposal is not advisable. His subordinates thought that the strength of the Qin army did not suffer much loss in this battle. Chen Yu was very happy with the achievements, but abandoned the city but fought with the Qin army in the field. This was obviously a foolish move. The Qin army had a large number of cavalry assistance, and it was easy to defeat the Zhao army, which was mainly infantry." Zhou Yin, who ranked third in the new Five Tiger Generals, frowned and put forward a rebuttal opinion.

Zhou Yin and Grand Marshal Cao Ju were both Xiang Liang's old subordinates. They belonged to the kind of experienced people in Chu. At the same time, they were not enthusiastic about forming cliques. It was precisely because of this political attitude that there was also an intermediate force in Chu led by Zhou and Cao. Of course, under the suppression of the Xiang family, Zhou Yin, Cao Ju and others had very weak ability to control the government.

"General Zhou is afraid. No matter how strong the Qin people are, they are not a bone. I, Xiang Zhuang, can guarantee that the Qin army is now at the end of its strength, and its power cannot even penetrate the white cloth of Lu." Xiang Zhuang insisted.

At the Chu court meeting, different voices appeared again on the discussion on whether to start a war with Qin quickly. After listening silently for a while, the overlord Xiang Yu grew up, turned his pupils and said loudly: "No need to fight, Xiang Tuo, please arrange it and find an envoy with outstanding eloquence to go to Qin. I said that I, Xiang Yu, would invite Li Wuhou to Chenggao for a while. If I have courage, come. If I don't have courage, I will refuse directly."

"Okay, I will make arrangements immediately." Xiang Tuo responded softly, and his face was surprised for a long time.

Xiang Yu wanted to invite Li Yuan to have an interview. This proposal made Xiang Tuo, Zhou Yin, Xiang Zhuang and others feel no sound. Xiang Yu's thoughts were completely beyond their expectations. At this time, Xiang Tuo and others didn't understand what they were good at talking about with Li Yuan, but they did not dare to come forward to inquire and question Xiang Yu's decision.
