Chapter 822: Xiang Yu is ready to grow his brain
The moonlight shone through the gaps in the tent onto Han Xin's body, covering him with a layer of silver armor.

He slowly stood up, walked out of the tent, looked up at the stars in the night sky, and recited silently in his heart.

"Xiang Yu, you can't go far relying only on your own strength and courage."

"Let me show you what a true commander should do!"

The night breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness, but Han Xin's heart was filled with passion.

The next morning, when the dawn broke in the sky, Han Xin and Pei Xingjian were ready to go. The Jiuxiao Army and Wenzhou Army under their command were like two winding dragons. With high morale and fighting spirit, they marched south in a mighty force, completely entering the territory of Quezhou and heading straight for the two important counties in the north.

The spring breeze blows, bringing with it the fragrance of earth and the residual heat of war. As the army marches, dust flies, but it cannot conceal their sharp momentum.

At the same time, in the county town of Guangque County in Quezhou, the atmosphere was extremely solemn.

Xiang Yu sat in the main seat with a calm expression, completely different from his usual domineering demeanor.

Gonggong, Longqie, Ji Bu and other five tiger generals surrounded them, and everyone's face was full of resentment.

"Your Majesty, Han Xin is really going too far!"

"It would have been fine if they had driven us out of Wenzhou, but now they have dared to step into our Quezhou. They simply don't take our Jiangdong Chu Army seriously!"

Gonggong was the first one who couldn't hold back, and his voice was filled with anger.

"My lord, give me a group of men and I will tear off the head of that little Han Xin to vent my hatred!"

Long Qie also clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

Although he has a firm idea of ​​his own abilities, it's not shameful to brag about them in private.

Would Xiang Yu really let his "trusted and beloved" lead the troops alone to deliver a message to Han Xin?
Whether to go or not is one thing, but at least you have to show your attitude.
"My lord, this battle is unavoidable. We must give Han Xin a resounding counterattack and let those restless bandits in Jiangdong see that our Chu army is still strong enough!"

Although Ji Bu had a relatively calm personality, he could not hide his anger at this moment, and spoke in a deep voice.

The defeat in Wenzhou was still bearable because they were the invading party.

If they were attacked and had no reaction, the morale of the army would be completely destroyed.

Other generals also echoed the sentiment, and the atmosphere in the camp was full of excitement and fighting spirit.

However, faced with this situation, Wang Chao should have been more excited than the people below, but the more irritable Xiang Yu acted contrary to his usual behavior. He remained silent for a long time and just listened quietly, with his pupils empty, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Your Majesty, why are you silent? We, the Chu army, still have tens of thousands of elite troops in Quezhou. We can fight another battle. Why should we be afraid of Han Xin?"

Gonggong couldn't help but feel anxious when he saw this. He stepped forward and asked loudly.

As soon as these words were spoken, the tent suddenly became quiet and all eyes were focused on Xiang Yu.

"Afraid? When have I, Xiang Yu, ever been afraid of anyone? However, this battle is of great importance, and we need to make long-term plans."

Xiang Yu raised his head slightly, glanced at the generals, and a rare calm expression appeared on his face.

"My king, there are tens of thousands of Jiangdong men in Quezhou now, and their fighting power is still there. Our current strength is not much different from that of Wenzhou at its peak. Why do we need to make long-term plans?"

"Just lead the troops to fight and kill him without leaving a single piece of armor!"

Long Qie asked in confusion.

"Long Ju, you are brave but not strategic enough. Han Xin is as cunning as a fox, both wise and brave. If we go into battle rashly, we will probably fall into his trap."

Xiang Yu glanced at the reckless Long Qie, shook his head, and said in a deep voice. Originally, in Xiang Yu's eyes, Long Qie was the one who was most like him.

At this moment, Xiang Yu seemed a little immature. Was it Long Ju?

Or the same self as before?
Being defeated head-on by the enemy at the height of his confidence and military power made this once arrogant overlord sober up for a rare moment.

In other words, the eyes became clearer!

"What does the king mean?"

Gonggong frowned.

"Although we have now withdrawn to Quezhou, our troops have suffered heavy losses, and the morale of most of our men has not yet fully recovered."

"Han Xin is pursuing his opponent with high morale. A head-on confrontation at this time will be extremely disadvantageous to us."

Xiang Yu took a deep breath and said slowly.

"Your Majesty is right. We should be cautious and not act rashly."

Ji Bu was more knowledgeable after all, and nodded in agreement.

"Moreover, Han Xin divided his troops into two groups this time, obviously intending to attack them separately."

"If we concentrate our forces to deal with one group, the other group will surely take the opportunity to capture cities and expand the victory."

Xiang Yu glanced at the generals below him and continued.

As a commander who has received various education and training since childhood, no matter how he performs on the battlefield, he can still see the most basic situation clearly.

In the Battle of Julu, Xiang Yu led 60,000 Chu troops in a fierce battle with the main force of 400,000 Qin troops led by famous Qin generals Zhang Han and Wang Li.

In the end, he burned his boats and led the Chu army with fearless courage and superhuman determination to destroy the 200,000 main forces of the Qin army. In the end, Zhang Han and his remaining 200,000 Qin troops surrendered.

Regarding the complete ending of the Battle of Julu, "Records of the Grand Historian: The Biography of Xiang Yu" used three "all" to record it.

The first "all" means: The army commanded by Xiang Yu was always worth ten of its own strength.

The second "all" means: all the princes and their armies were terrified of Xiang Yu.

The third "all" means: all the princes knelt before meeting Xiang Yu, and they dared not even raise their heads.

"All the Chu soldiers fought bravely, and the princes' armies were all terrified. Xiang Yu summoned the princes' generals, and when they entered the camp, they all knelt and walked forward, and no one dared to look up." - "Records of the Grand Historian: The Biography of Xiang Yu"

You must know that before the Battle of Julu, Xiang Yu was just an mediocre general who had never fought a typical battle, otherwise he would not be on par with Liu Bang.

The fact that he was deified in one battle is enough to show that the Battle of Julu was one of the most valuable battles in the late Qin Dynasty.

He was able to fight the Battle of Julu, a classic battle in ancient Chinese wars that will go down in history, and led his Chu army to victory under extremely unfavorable circumstances, thus completely establishing his leadership position among the various rebel armies.

Xiang Yu's courage and strategic decisions are absolutely beyond doubt.

After coming to Tianwu Continent, just because he doesn't want to use it or look at it doesn't mean he doesn't know how to use it.

After all, according to the previous situation.
Eyes: I can see that there is an ambush and a conspiracy.

Brain: Don’t be afraid! Just rush forward!
Therefore, Xiang Yu had rarely used his brain before. Even in adverse circumstances, he could rely on his peerless martial arts and lead the Overlord Cavalry to force his way out!
But now the military force is obviously not enough, and Xiang Yu can only pick up his brain that he has abandoned for a long time.
