Obviously, although Xiang Yu's force is stronger than others and his endurance is much stronger, there is still a limit to it.
After several battles, even Xiang Yu would not be able to hold on if he continued to fight Jiang Song without stopping.
After Xiang Yu lowered his force for the first time due to decreased physical strength, Xiang Yu's physical strength became even more serious. In just fifty years, Xiang Yu lowered his force three times in a row.
After closing the 4-point force gap with Jiang Song, Xiang Yu could no longer hold on. In the end, Jiang Song even used his own Panyun Zimu Gun, which sealed the victory in one fell swoop.
"I lost." Xiang Yu looked down at the wounds on his body and said calmly, "I never thought that I, Xiang Yu, would also be defeated."
"In a fair fight, I am no match for you. I will win this battle without force."
Although Jiang Song has won this battle, Xiang Yu's strength has obviously won Jiang Song's respect.
"If you lose, you lose. There is no reason." Xiang Yu said to Jiang Song.
Obviously, in Xiang Yu's view, no matter what the reason is for losing, the final reason cannot escape the issue of strength. If one's own strength is strong enough, then no matter what conspiracy the enemy uses, he can defeat it.
Looking deeply at Jiang Song, Xiang Yu said lightly, "Next time, I will definitely win you back again when we meet next time."
After that, without waiting for Jiang Song's reaction, Xiang Yu turned his horse around and left in the opposite direction of Chenliucheng without looking back.
Jiang Song did not pursue without permission. Jiang Song knew that although Xiang Yu was injured by himself, he still had some strength left. If Xiang Yu wanted to leave, even if Jiang Song caught up, he would not be able to stay.
Moreover, there is not only one Xiang Yu who comes to challenge this time, but there is also Chi You blocking the road ahead. If he pursues wantonly and is attacked by Chi You, Xiang Yu and Xiang Yu join forces to pursue, plus some other Yellow Turban generals are helping, Jiang Song can
There is no guarantee that we will hold on until our own generals come to help.
…
In front of the Han army formation.
"Everyone, now that Xiang Yu has been defeated, do we want to take advantage of the victory and pursue it to eliminate this big trouble for our great Han?" Lu Zhi looked at Xiang Yu who was escaping and asked the Han generals.
With the withdrawal of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other generals, Lu Zhi and others naturally knew that the people who had been fighting with them were not the Yellow Turban generals, but the Xiang clan who were in trouble in Jingnan.
As the commander-in-chief of an army, Lu Zhi naturally had to think more than others. After all, the Xiang clan was mixed with the Yellow Turbans, and Lu Zhi was worried whether the anti-Han forces in the world had begun to join forces.
However, no matter what happened, in Lu Zhi's view, now is indeed a great opportunity. Now, Chi You and Xiang Yu are only surrounded by Qianqi, and Xiang Yu is almost exhausted and even injured. If it is done properly this time, it will be a great opportunity.
It can also eliminate serious troubles for the big man's two confidants.
Li Xiang also felt tempted by Lu Zhi's proposal.
However, after a brief thought, Li Xiang directly rejected this idea. Just like the last battle in Jizhou, Chi You broke through the encirclement with one sword. This time, even if the Han army went to pursue him, he would probably only be able to kill
They were just a few pawns and could not pose a real threat to people like Chi You and Xiang Yu.
And being unable to kill Chi You or Xiang Yu, in Li Xiang's view, the pursuit was meaningless.
Not only that, with Chi You's ability, Li Xiang didn't believe that he would simply lead Qianqi to challenge him without any preparation. If the army easily pursued him, he might even be defeated by Chi You.
"General Lu, if we pursue you rashly, there may be an ambush." Before Li Xiang could say anything, Cao Cao, who was standing behind Lu Zhi, stepped forward to remind him.
In this regard, Li Xiang can only say that he is worthy of the future traitor Cao Cao in the late Han Dynasty. Even when his brothers are dead, injured and disabled, he can still control his mood, not be affected by the hatred in front of him, and calmly analyze the situation in front of him.
situation.
"Yes, what Captain Cao Cao said is reasonable. I also believe that with Chi You's ability, he may set up an ambush early." To show caution, although Cao Cao had already said it, Li Xiang reminded him again.
Lu Zhi.
Lu Zhi was naturally aware of this, but the temptation to kill Xiang Yu and Chi You was too tempting, and Lu Zhi was a little confused for a while.
"What are you afraid of? There are scouts in our army all around now. If there is an ambush, they would have discovered it long ago. Everyone, this is a great opportunity. We should pursue it quickly." Seeing that Cao Cao and Li Xiang did not agree with the pursuit, they remained silent.
Yuan Shu, who was beside him, spoke.
Yuan Shu is not a broad-minded person. Xiang Yu directly killed one of Yuan Shu's generals as soon as he came up, and he did it instantly. This made Yuan Shu, who always felt good about himself, feel that he had lost face. Therefore, at this time, Yuan Shu had already killed Xiang Yu.
I have a grudge.
Now that there was a chance to kill Xiang Yu, Yuan Shu couldn't wait and jumped up and down.
Lu Zhi naturally knew what Yuan Shu was capable of. Therefore, Lu Zhi didn't take Yuan Shu's words seriously at all.
However, Yuan Shu's words also reminded Lu Zhi. There were countless Han army scouts and spies around Chenliu. If the Yellow Turbans showed up with a large force, these scouts would not be able to detect it.
Therefore, even if Chi You had an ambush, he would not have many troops.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhi finally decided to take a risk.
"Mengde, where is the literary platform?" When it was time to issue orders and dispatch troops, Lu Zhi's tone suddenly became serious.
"The general is here." Knowing that Lu Zhi had made a decision, Cao Cao and Sun Jian took the next step and replied loudly.
"In this battle, Meng De is the leader, Wentai is the deputy, and he leads five thousand light cavalry to pursue." Lu Zhi said seriously.
"The last general takes orders."
Although Yuan Shu is the one who wants to pursue him the most, Lu Zhi, who is well aware of Yuan Shu's abilities, will naturally not leave such a task to Yuan Shu.
But Cao Cao, Cao Mengde, and Lu Zhi were relieved. With the resourceful Cao Mengde as the righteous one, and with the brave and capable Sun Wentai, Lu Zhi believed that even if the Yellow Turbans had some small ambush, it would not be a big deal.
"Mengde, Wentai, if nothing can be done, just retreat in time." Looking at the two generals, Lu Zhi gave instructions again.
Obviously, although the temptation to kill Chi You and Xiang Yu is great, it will not make Lu Zhi completely lose his mind.
"General Li Xiang, please lead another five thousand light cavalry behind Meng De and Wentai, and adapt accordingly." After Cao Cao and Sun Jian hurriedly led their troops away, Lu Zhi ordered again.
Lu Zhi was still very cautious about pursuit. He sent out another pursuer. Even if the previous pursuer really encountered an ambush, they could provide timely support.
What's more, with the generals under Li Xiang's command, the pursuit will have a better chance of winning.
