If you have the ability, let Zhang Er take it back by himself.
"Han Xin withdrew? Handan City was saved by Zhang Er?"
At the beginning of November, Xu Feng was in Pingyang, and he was also very surprised when he received this news.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Zhao Yun stood below and responded.
When Zhao Yun saw that the battle in Handan was over, it was difficult for him to stay in Zhang Er's Changshan country, so he simply led the army back and reported to Xu Feng.
"This is not in line with Han Xin's temperament, Han Xin is not someone who will give up easily.
Just watch, Han Xin will definitely attack Handan in a short time.
Zilong, send someone to Handan City to remind Zhang Er not to relax. "
Xu Feng said.
Xu Feng also counted on Zhang Er to persist in Handan for a while, so that Xu Feng could digest the land of the five counties taken back from Wei Bao and Zhao Xie as soon as possible.
Avoid the Qin army and Han Xin's Qi army, and fight prematurely.
Soon, the people sent by Xu Feng arrived in Handan to send a message to Zhang Er, telling him not to relax, Han Xin would not let it go.
"Heh, people from Qin are really getting more and more kind."
It's a pity that Zhang Er didn't take it seriously after receiving the reminder sent by Xu Feng.
"The King and the Overlord are allies. If Han Xin dares to attack the King, the Overlord will never let him go."
Zhang Er said confidently, thinking that after this battle, Han Xin should take advantage of Xiang Yu's strength and dare not attack him again.
As for the lost Julu County, Zhang Er knew that he would not be able to get it back in a short time, so he had to figure out a way later.
"Han Xin, you wait for this king, after this king rebuilds the army.
This king not only wants to take back Julu County, but also kills Linzi City. "
Zhang Er said vowedly in Handan City.
It's a pity that Zhang Er had no idea that Han Xin had no intention of stopping the war at all.
On November [-]th, shortly after Han Xin returned to Linzi City, he led [-] elite Qi troops to leave Linzi City at night and rush to Julu City.
This time, Han Xin managed to destroy the main force of Changshan Army under Zhang Er's command, so how could he give Zhang Er time to recuperate.
If Zhang Er is given a period of time, I am afraid he can rebuild an army of hundreds of thousands.
Han Xin would not allow such a thing to happen.
On November [-]th, Han Xin led the army and arrived in Julu City quietly without anyone knowing.
But Julu City, Julu Handan City, is only a distance of forty or fifty miles away, and the infantry can reach it by marching for half a day.
On November [-]th, Han Xin led an army of [-] troops. After a half-day raid, he unexpectedly killed Handan City and launched a strong attack on Handan City.
"Report, Your Majesty, it's not good, the Qi army has broken through the city."
On the afternoon of the [-]th, a blood-stained general of the Chang Shan Army stumbled into Zhang Er's palace and shouted loudly.
"How could you break the city so quickly, hold it, you must hold it for this king."
After Zhang Er heard the news, he slumped on the seat and roared hysterically.
The arrival of the Qi army was so sudden that the defenders of the Changshan Army in Handan City didn't react at all, and were caught off guard.
The Qi army led by Han Xin easily broke into the city.
Once the Qi army is allowed to enter the city, with the low morale of the Changshan army at this time, it is basically impossible to drive the Qi army out of the city.
Even so, Zhang Er bought a large number of iron weapons and armor from the Qin army, and equipped them to the soldiers of the Changshan Army in the city.
But facing the morale of the rainbow, the elite Qi army under Han Xin's command, the Changshan army, which had the advantage in equipment, was still no match.
The main reason is that the Changshan Army at this time has not yet come out of the shadow of the previous defeat, the morale is low, and the soldiers' fighting will is weak.
In this case, even if they were equipped with iron weapons and armor, they were no match for the Qi army.
The outcome of a war ultimately depends on people, and weapons and equipment are secondary.

"Kill!"
In the city of Handan, the shouts of killing were loud at this time, countless soldiers of the Qi army rushed into the city, unstoppable, and the soldiers of Changshan in the city retreated steadily.
"Your Majesty, the soldiers in the city can't stand it any longer, let the humble officials cover you and leave!"
A Chang Shan army general rushed into the palace on horseback and said to Zhang Er.
At this time, Zhang Erdu could vaguely hear the shouts of killing outside the palace, which made his face pale.
Zhang Er was still stubborn before, and ordered all Changshan soldiers and horses in the city to defend Handan City to the death, vowing to kill the Qi army who entered the city.
You know, there are still nearly [-] Changshan Army soldiers in Handan City at this time, which is more than all the soldiers and horses brought by Han Xin.
But it is a pity that the fighting will of these Changshan Army soldiers cannot be compared with the high morale of the Qi Army.
"Withdraw, withdraw!"
Zhang Er was not as tough as before at this time, with a panicked expression, he shouted.
He was also afraid of death, seeing that the Qi army had all entered the city and the situation was irreversible, Zhang Er could only choose to run for his life.
Immediately, under the protection of a group of cronies and confidants, Zhang Er broke out of Handan City and fled to the north in defeat.
Half a day later, all Handan City fell into Han Xin's hands.
After Han Xin captured Handan, he sent troops non-stop, went north to capture Wu'an and Xindu, and occupied the entire Handan County in less than a week.
At this time, Zhang Er had already led his people to flee to Donghuan City, the county city of Hengshan County in the north, lingering on his last breath.
"Your Majesty, I just received news that Handan City was breached by Han Xin, and Zhang Er was defeated and fled to Hengshan County in the north."
Three days after Han Xin broke Handan, Xu Feng received the news in Pingyang.
"Has Handan City still been breached by Han Xin?"
Xu Feng was not too surprised.
"Your Majesty, that Zhang Er is an idiot, he didn't take His Majesty's kind reminder to heart.
Three days ago, Han Xin made a surprise attack on Handan City.
Zhang Er in Handan City was defenseless, thinking that Han Xin would not dare to come again.
As a result, Han Xin broke the city in the first battle, and now he fled to Donghuan City in the north to linger on his last breath. "
Zhao Yun next to him said contemptuously.
"Hey, I originally hoped that Zhang Er would defend Han Xin in the east for a period of time.
It's a pity that this Zhang Er couldn't be supported by the mud, and it didn't even last half a year. "
Xu Feng said with a sigh.
Even Xu Feng has prepared for the necessary time, and he does not hesitate to send troops to help Zhang Er, just to restrain Han Xin's expansion.
But it's a pity that Zhang Er was too careless and didn't know how powerful Han Xin led the army in fighting.
Lost too fast, there is no time to support.
"However, it's okay, Zhang Er bought me a few months at least.
Now, Taiyuan, Hedong and other counties have been almost digested by us. "
"Zilong, go to Huguan immediately and monitor every move of the Qi army."
Xu Feng was very wary of Han Xin, and ordered Zhao Yun.
"No, Your Majesty, I'm leaving now."
Zhao Yun took the order and immediately led the army to Huguan.
Huguan in Shangdang County is guarding the main road between Shangdang County in the west and Handan County in the east.
With Han Xin conquering Handan County, Daqin's territory officially bordered Han Xin's.
Huguan became Xu Feng's forward position against Han Xin, and it was also a line of defense against Han Xin's attack.
"What's going on with Liu Bang in the south?"
At this time, Xu Feng was also concerned about Liu Bang's situation in the south.
The situation on Han Xin's side is irreversible.
Xu Feng didn't want to see his second confidant, Liu Bang, who was a big trouble in the south, also grow up in the south.
"Return to Your Majesty, Master Guo sent the latest news on the fifth day.
The Chu army led by Liu Bang and Xiang Liang, and Gong Ao's Linjiang army fought in the Jiangling area, and they are currently in a stalemate, with no winner yet.
However, Mr. Guo said that if the delay continues, Liu Bang may really defeat Xiang Liang and Gong Ao, and take down Jiangling. "
Jin Da stood behind Xu Feng and said.
"Liu Bang can't be allowed to grow bigger in the south. Send an order back to Xianyang and tell Guo Jia to let Lu Zhishen launch an attack on Shuzhong from Hanzhong.
I'd like to see if Liu Bang will retreat or not. "
"No." Jin Da agreed.
'I did this to help Xiang Yu. '
Xu Feng smiled bitterly in his heart.
There is no way, Xu Feng would rather the territory be in the hands of Xiang Yu and Gong Ao than to see Liu Bang take Jiangling.
Compared with Xiang Yu, a stronger Liu Bang is more threatening than Xiang Yu.
"waste!"
On the other side, not long after Xiang Yu rushed back to Pengcheng, he received the news that Han Xin had breached Handan, and angrily scolded Zhang Er.
"Bawang calmed down, now I still think about what to do next.
The envoy sent by Zhang Er to ask for help has arrived again. "
Fan Zeng sat aside and said.
"I don't care about it, Zhang Er, let him fend for himself."
Xiang Yu was on the fire, and said with a wave of his hand.
"Bawang is right, no matter what Zhang Er is doing, it will waste our strength in vain.
This time, in order to save him, we lost thousands of soldiers and a large amount of food and grass.
As a result, Zhang Er himself was useless, Handan City was captured by Han Xin.
We didn't get anything, so let that guy Zhang Er fend for himself. "
Long Qi beside him also supported Xiang Yu's statement at this time.
"Stupid!" Suddenly, Fan Zeng scolded.
Immediately, Fan Zeng leaned on his crutches, stood up tremblingly with Yu Ziqi's support beside him, walked up to Long Qie, and yelled again: "Stupid."
Being reprimanded by Fan Zeng like this made Long Qi unhappy, but he didn't dare to attack.
Fan Zeng looked at Xiang Yu and said, "Bawang, we support Zhang Er to deal with Han Xin.
Han Xin is an ambitious wolf, and he is very powerful in leading the army and fighting.
If he successfully annexed Zhang Er, then we will have an extra tiger in the north.
At that time, we will really have trouble sleeping and eating.
Now, Han Xin's strength is not as good as ours, so he didn't take the initiative to provoke us.
But, I can assure you that once he becomes stronger, he will definitely go south to deal with us.
Instead, let's wait for Han Xin to become stronger and become our enemy.
