"Die!" Méng shouted loudly, slashed the Han Army School in front of him into two pieces, and kicked the lower half of the Han Army School's body off the city. Looking around, I saw that the Han army soldiers who were snatching the city were basically killed. There were only about a few dozen people still fighting stubbornly, but it was a matter of time before they were killed.

Losing the support of the well railing, cloud ladders, and siege cars, the Han army's offensive was suddenly set.

The heavy armor and light soldiers of the Han army, which were originally crowded outside the north gate, were even hit by the 300 heavy cavalry and the subsequent nearly 1,000 light cavalrymen, and it was difficult to organize a decent offensive.

"Woooooooooooooo..." Suddenly, a low horn sounded outside the city.

When he looked back in a hurry, he saw the Han army lined up in the distance suddenly turned back and began to retreat slowly.

In less than half a quarter of an hour, teams of Han troops disappeared completely from the sight of the Chu soldiers. Seeing this scene, Méng couldn't help but secretly complain that if the soldiers under his command were full of energy and took advantage of the situation to rush for a while, even if they could not completely defeat the three Han troops, they would be more than enough to severely damage them.

Amid the rapid footsteps, the heavy armored méngkeng also rose to the top of the city, bowed to the méng and said, "General, I am lucky to have not humiliated my fate!"

Méng slapped méngkeng's shoulder and said, "Méngkeng, good-looking!"

After saying that, Méng Wu took two steps forward and jumped onto the Duan, then raised his sword and roared: "The Great Chu is mighty!"

"The Great Chu is mighty!" First, Méng Keng and the nearby Chu army veterans, then the Chu army veterans in the distance, and then all the prisoners who fought for the rest of their lives, all of them roared hysterically. In the end, the chaotic roars gathered into a uniform sound of horns, just like thunder shaking through the sky.

The roar of the veterans and prisoners continued.

As a veteran who has experienced many battles, Méng Kung did not stop them, because Méng Kung Kung knew that whether it was a veteran or a prisoner, he would need to vent their emotions in xiong. The battle had just passed. He fought for the rest of his life, but many robes around them left forever. Others could definitely not understand their mood at this moment.

However, Méng Wang believes that after venting, these prisoners will grow completely and grow into Chu army veterans with stronger spiritual will than rocks. In the near future, the remaining more than 5,000 prisoners will become a force that cannot be underestimated. At that time, Zhou Yin, Jin Xu, and Li Zuoche will want to threaten Liyang again, which is a dream!

More than ten miles away, Li Zuochezheng led his army to retreat slowly.

Hearing the sound of tweets like mountains and seas coming from behind, Li Zuoche couldn't help but change slightly. All kinds of emotions such as frustration, helplessness, shock, disappointment, etc. suddenly surged. Where did this unknown Méng Killing come from and where did Xiangzhuang recruit it? His defense was even stronger than a rock!

Li Zuoche knew even more that after this battle, it would be difficult for the Han army to threaten Jiangdong again. Unless the Han King personally raised the army to attack Jiangdong, the Han King would be unable to leave Guandong again within three or five years. What should he do if Li Zuoche, the lonely army of his country, and Jiujiang, the Han enclave?

Li Zuoche would never believe it. Xiang Zhuang will give up.

Jiangdong has not really suffered from the destruction of war. Human, material and national strength still exist. No matter how difficult it is, it is absolutely no problem to recruit tens of thousands of elite troops to cross the river and attack Jiujiang north. Once Xiang Zhuang troops are approaching Jiujiang, Zhou Yin, Jin Xi and others are short-sighted and will only calculate their own interests. How can the Han army resist it?

To this day, Li Zuoche has to consider his future and destiny. Once Xiang Zhuang's troops are approaching Jiujiang, Jiujiang's loss will be an inevitable situation.

Once Jiujiang is lost, where should the more than 20,000 remaining soldiers under his command be gone?

It is obviously unrealistic to return to Guanzhong. Neither Linjiang nor Liang will let him go. Li Zuoche does not think that he has the ability of Xiangzhuang and can take 20,000 remaining soldiers to fight thousands of miles and fight back to Guandong.

Jiujiang cannot be defended, Guanzhong cannot go back, where should he, Li Zuoche?

On the way back to the six counties, Zhou Yin, Zhou Huan and his son were also worried about their future.

Zhou Huan whipped hard on the horse's thigh under his crotch, rode his horse to catch up with Zhou Yin, and said depressedly: "Father, have you really withdrawn your troops like this?"

Zhou Yin said: "What else can we do if we don't withdraw our troops?"

Zhou Huan said: "If you can't take Liyang and can't pull out this nail in Jiangbei, the Chu army can cross the river and head north at any time. Once Xiangzhuang's troops are approaching Jiujiang, Jin Xu and Li Zuoche are afraid that they will not join forces with us to fight against the Chu army. At that time, with the more than 30,000 troops under his father's command, how can we compete with Xiangzhuang?"

Zhou Yin sighed and said, "Let's take one step at a time."

After saying this, Zhou Yin said again: "If it really doesn't work, just cut off your father's head and go to Xiangzhuang. No matter what, my Zhou family is a clan of the old Chu family. He betrayed the Great Chu and killed the former kings. It has nothing to do with the Zhou family. Moreover, when he heard that Xiangzhuang was a human being, he was not like the former kings. As long as he died for his father, he would not pursue the past."

"Father!" Zhou Huan said tragically, "How can this work? Even if the child tries to die, he will never do this!"

"Good child." Seeing Zhou Huan's expression firm, Zhou Yin couldn't help but feel relieved. What else do you want to have a child like this? However, Zhou Yin's thoughts were even more firm. If the situation was really irreversible, he could only...

Before Xiangzhuang's army arrived in Wuzhong, Yingbu withdrew his troops, and the news of the Liyang victory was delivered one after another. Xiangzhuang immediately asked Jin Xiang to call Bailixian to his tent. Now, the seven coalition forces besieging Jiangdong have collapsed and the Chu State has turned danger into safety. It is inevitable that it will be impolite to come but not go, right?

To apply the terms from later generations, the Chu army should collect the war bonus next!

While thinking about it, Bailixian had already entered the tent and bowed to Xiang Zhuang, saying, "Big King."

Xiang Zhuang stood up and returned the gift, and then asked Baili Xian to join the table with a stern hand, then said: "Ziliang, Zhou Yin, Jin Xu, and Li Zuoche suffered a severe blow in Liyang and have retreated!"

"Oh?" Bailixian said happily, "Congratulations to the king."

Xiang Zhuang waved his hand and said, "Ziliang, now is a good opportunity to regain Jiujiang!"

"The king clearly understands it." Baili Xian deeply agreed. After the war, the Chu army must of course make some statements. If we do not take this opportunity to punish these princes who dare to provoke the Great Chu, what is the prestige of the Chu State? How can the Chu army remain?

Since it is a punishment, the scale of the battle must be controlled. Therefore, Huainan and Minyue Kingdom are obviously inappropriate. Huainan countries are too strong and the distance between Minyue Kingdom is too far. The hard-working expedition can easily shake the foundation of Chu. In addition to Huainan countries, Minyue Kingdom, Hengshan Kingdom, and Dongou Kingdom have been destroyed, so only Zhou Yin, Jin Xu, and Li Zuoche in Jiujiang are left.

Moreover, from the perspective of strategic situation, Jiujiang cannot let it go, regardless of whether Zhou Yin, Jin Xi, and Li Zuoche are still as loyal to Liu Bang as before. At least in name, Jiujiang is still the territory of the Han Dynasty. With such a Han enclave, it is like putting a sharp knife on the weakness of Chu. How could Chu be careless?

Xiang Zhuang mopped the thick beard of mochun Kouhiji and said, "Ziliang, how do you think this battle should be fought?"

Baili Xian shook his feather fan and said in a deep thought: "King, I think Jiujiang must be taken down, but it takes a lot of thought to take down Jiujiang in a way. Zhou Yin, Jin Xu, and Li Zuoche have at least 50,000 or 60,000 troops, and they are all elite. Although they cannot be compared with the Chu army, they are also veterans who have experienced many battles."

"Yes." Xiang Zhuang nodded and said deeply, "We must not underestimate the combat effectiveness of the Han army just because of Zhou Yin, Jin Xu and Li Zuoche's defeat in Liyang."

In the Battle of Liyang, the reason why the Han army was defeated was, on the one hand, because the defense was strong and solid, but on the other hand, Zhou Yin, Jin Xu, and Li Zuoche secretly intrigue and wanted to consume others and save themselves, which gave the Chu army a chance to breathe. If the Han army had attacked with all its might from the beginning, Liyang would have been lost long ago!

Bailixian paused and said, "Master, let's wait for the doctor to come back."

"Ziliang, your idea coincides with me, haha." Xiang Zhuang smiled slightly and said, "I have already compiled a letter and sent it to Zhuyi day and night to submit it to Shangdao. After receiving the letter, Shangdao will go straight from Zhuyi to the six counties to lobby Zhou Yin. If nothing unexpected happens, Zhou Yin will return to Da Chu."

Bailixian continued: "So, this time, the one who really needs to be attacked is Jin Xu and Li Zuoche!"

At the moment of Xiangzhuang, Bailixian stood up at the same time and strode to the screen hanging on the map. Bailixian pointed to the map with the feather fan in his hand and said, "Your Majesty, this is Jiujiang. Zhou Yin occupies the central, western and southern parts of Jiujiang. Jin Xu and Li Zuoche are entrenched in Quyang, Yinling, Dongcheng, and Zhongli in the northeast of Jiujiang, and very close to Huainan Kingdom!"

Xiang Zhuang's eyes narrowed suddenly. Baili Xian's meaning was already very clear. If the Chu army wanted to send troops to the counties in the northeast of Jiujiang, if they wanted to Hua Xiaoli to achieve the purpose of punishing Jin Xu and Li Zuoche, they had to consider the factors of Huainan Kingdom. As long as the Huainan army made a single step, many changes would arise in Jiujiang.

Baili Xian said: "King, I suggest forming an alliance with Huainan Kingdom and join forces to punish Jin Xi and Li Zuoche!"

"Associate with Huainan?" Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but fall into deep thought when he heard this. Chu State borders Huainan and is separated by a river. Not to mention the iron rule of being in a distance and attacking nearby, from a geopolitical perspective alone, the two countries are natural enemies, and forming an alliance is obviously undesirable, but for the moment, an alliance is acceptable.

Because in the next few years, Xiang Zhuang will devote himself to domestic reforms.
