Xiang Yu waved her halberd and killed anyone she saw, killing three to four hundred soldiers in one go. The nearby Qin Wei were terrified by the sound of the battle, and just as he was fighting to her heart's content, she suddenly heard the gong sound, and was startled: "Withdraw troops at all levels? Peace with Chu? What the heck is she doing? "

"Great General, the Qin Soldier is in disarray and is retreating. Should we take advantage of this victory to pursue?" Jing Tao rode forward as he asked Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu thought for a moment before replying, "That's right, in terms of morale, I'm stronger than the enemy. I took advantage of the victory to annihilate all of the 200,000 Qin Army s, how majestic is that!"

He was just about to give the order to give chase when Chen Ping, who was beside him, anxiously stopped him: "Overlord, think carefully, in case the enemy is scheming, the yellow sand covers the sky, and we cannot see the enemy clearly in the surroundings. Once we catch up, if there is an ambush, we will be caught, and if we don't stop for now and watch Zhang Han play any tricks, we can formulate a plan against the enemy!"

If there was a pit in front of them, then there would be tens of thousands of arrows aimed at the cavalry soldiers. Now that there were twenty thousand elite riders left, they would not be able to take in the unnecessary casualties, so Xiang Yu nodded her head: "General Chen's words are reasonable, after passing down the order, retreat for a period of time to Hongmen, and set up a camp to avoid the wind and sand. Then, see what else Qin Army can do?"

Chu Army packed up her weapons and armor as she supported the wounded to retreat for three miles before setting up camp.

Under the setting sun, the fallen leaves fell in a mournful manner, the sandstorm gradually receded.

Fan Zeng lined up at the back of the room to welcome Xiang Yu, Chen Ping, Ji Bu and the rest of the generals back.

Ji Bu sighed: "If it wasn't for the sudden sandstorm, we could have chased him down and killed even more Qin Soldier."

Fan Zeng shook his head and laughed: "Ah? According to the old me, when the sandstorm appears, the Qin Soldier will have many people, one after the other, making it easier for us to attack. If the Chu Army has a few elites, it is advantageous for us to attack quickly, but if we fight on a sunny day, the more we can encircle the Qin Army, the more encirclement our the Qin Army, and we will not be able to display our true strength. With the help of the sandstorm, the might of our cavalry will be displayed, cutting off the connection between the Qin Army's heavy armoured square array and the troops that were surrounding it.

Xiang Yu asked, "Then is it good or bad to retreat now?"

Fan Zeng laughed: There are both advantages and disadvantages, but it is correct that there are no lone soldiers chasing after him, the goal of this attack is to kill both the Qin Soldier and the Qin, and if we can reduce the number of casualties, then that would be for the best. Zhang Han has to retreat, on one hand, we have to use deceit, on the other hand, there are hidden secrets, and when the Qin Army is retreating, they would shout 'negotiate with Chu', and there would be more problems, so we can wait for Zhang Han to make a move.

Long Qie frowned: "Could it be that Zhang Han saw that he had been defeated and did not want to become King of Qin's second corpse, so he decided to join our Chu Army as reinforcements?"

Xiang Yu said coldly: "If he wants to surrender to the Chu Army, he doesn't even have a chance! No matter what tricks Zhang Han is playing this time, we have to first kill Zhang Han, then kill our way into the Xianyang City, and kill all the bastards like Qin Er, Hu Hai and the others. Afterwards, we will rob and kill for three days in the Xianyang, and dig out the corpse of Ying Zheng, causing the death of the West Qin to be completely annihilated! "

"Huh?" The generals were stunned. They had not expected Xiang Yu to be so ruthless, her aura so oppressive that they could not help but feel their hairs stand on end. Facing such an overlord, a sense of reverence arose involuntarily from their hearts.

The west side of the Hangu Pass was where Qin Chuan resided. The mountain paths were rugged, surrounded by heavy mountains, craggy cliffs, craggy rocks, and the carriages were irregular. They were extremely rugged.

As night fell, silver light scattered all over the land.

Long Tianyu brought his two beautiful wives, Zhang Liang, Fan Kuai, Zhang Yun, the twenty eight thousand cavalrymen and their horses, travelling at the same time during the night. They eliminated the secret sentries and barricades left behind by the Chu Bing and smoothly passed through the dangerous zone left behind by Qin Chuan and arrived at a place five miles away from the Tongguan. As long as they passed through the Tongguan, they would reach the wilderness and land at the northern shore of the Weishui.

Long Tianyu gazed at the mountains and rivers along the way, lamenting how the Ghost Axe Divine Craftsmen's Mountain Range was magnificent and magnificent. More than two thousand years ago, the vegetation had not been destroyed in a large area, and there were few signs of human habitation. Forest monsters would often appear, and at night, groups of jackals, tigers, and leopards would howl loudly in the forest.

The cold night wind blew. The moonlight shone on her beautiful face. It was hazy and gentle, giving her an ethereal feeling.

As Long Tianyu spurred his horse forward, he recalled the difference between the story from the almanac and the fact in front of his eyes and suddenly asked: "That's right, Wan'er, where did you get your name from?"

Chunyu's eyes widened, her eyelashes blinked, and then she said softly while bathing in the moonlight: "The reason for the pass is that there is a great gap in the west, a great gap in the east, a great gap in the north, a great gap in the south, and a great gap in the south. In this era when all the heroes of the Spring and Autumn Warring States were fighting for power, these four trials could be said to be one-sided, and could never be broken, it became a place where all the troops of Shang Zhou would fight for it in the spring and autumn. The climate here was mild and humid, Jing, Wei, Feng, Shuiyan, Qu, Qi, Gao and Cheng eight rivers flowed side by side, the population was dense and rich, and it was also known as' Qin Chuan of 800 miles'.

Long Tianyu nodded his head lightly, and thought of the records in the Records of Legacy of the Ancient Records — — "A third of the land under the heavens is located there"; he also thought of the words in the book, "A third of the land under the heavens is located there." It was also the basis for West Qin to sweep across the world and set up camp in a very high place.

Zhang Liang, who was riding at the back, heard Long Tianyu and the little junior sister talking about the situation in the fortress, and suddenly asked: "Tian Yu, if you were to settle down and unite the seven nations, would you think about staying in Pengcheng?"

Long Tianyu turned his head around and replied without hesitation: "If there really comes a day that we are united, choosing a Pengcheng is not bad. After all, the allied army started from the Pei County, and later occupied the Pengcheng as their base. Now, all the families of the warriors and forces are settled in the Pengcheng.

Zhang Liang smiled slightly and said: "Tian Yu has never been able to do anything, he is both intelligent and brave, as if this reckless answer is not your real idea?"

Long Tianyu laughed awkwardly: "I am willing to listen to the details!"

"Ever since King Zhou Ping moved, the war at the beacons had been going on ever since the time of the Spring and Autumn Warring States. Until the West Qin unified the six kingdoms and quelled the war, becoming familiar with the Qin Wudao, becoming destitute and lustful, causing the people of the world to not be able to find peace, and thus revolt. For the past six hundred years, there have been wars everywhere in the Pengcheng, and even though there were plenty of land and water flowing everywhere, they were still easily surrounded. If one were to obtain the support of the noble lords, it would be easy for them to call themselves kings of war.

Yu Wan'er straightened her body in Tian Yu's embrace, and came back to her senses as if she was a flower in spring. She smiled sweetly and continued to speak: "And there are valleys on the left side of the pass, Sichuan on the right, Sichuan in the middle, thousands of miles in the wild, Sichuan in the south with abundant production, Sichuan in the north where livestock can be used as a trading base. There are obstructions on all sides, making it difficult to attack from the east.

"When the dukes are at peace, they can use the Yellow River and the Weishui to transport their goods and tributes to the capital. When the dukes change, they can also quickly gather a million strong soldiers to head down the river and also make it convenient for them to supply them with fodder. This is undoubtedly an advantage that can strangle the entire world. If my husband were to sacrifice himself and choose the Pengcheng as his capital, it would be unwise for him to be surrounded by enemies on all sides once a war erupts! "
