Liu Bang set out to withdraw his troops.

Before abandoning Chencang City, Liu Bang asked someone to take away all the food, grass and weapons, and ordered Chencang to be burned without leaving anything for Zhang Hua.

Chen Cangcheng turned into a sea of ​​fire, with thick smoke rolling.

Liu Bang's eyes reflected a raging fire, and he always felt a sense of breath.

The battle with Zhang Hua made Liu Bang powerful and had nowhere to do it, and he felt deeply frustrated.

Zhang Hua never fought with Liu Bang, and defeated the enemy without fighting, forcing Liu Bang to give up Chen Cang and return to Hanzhong. Liu Bang was very depressed.

At this time, Liu Bang would rather his opponent be Xiang Yu.

At least Xiang Yu would not be so insidious.

"Report! The Han army has retreated!"

"Report! The Han army burned down Chen Cang City and retreated into Chen Cang Road overnight!"

"Su Dai, a straitor, cannot be underestimated."

Zhang Hua could already see the thick smoke produced by the Han munitions burning Chen Cang in his camp.

Zhang Hua sent Su, a straitor, to impose the princes in Shu, lobbying the princes in Shu to attack Hanzhong, forcing Liu Bang to return and give up Chen Cang.

Su Dai was indeed successful, allowing Zhang Hua to take down Chen Cang without any effort.

Although Chen Cangcheng was burned by the Han army when the Han army retreated, it was not difficult to rebuild a town on the ruins with the national strength of Daxia.

The most important farmland was undestroyed by the Han army.

If Su Dai failed to lobby the princes in Shu, Zhang Hua also had a plan to fight to the death with Liu Bang.

Chen Cang, no matter what, he must win it.

Now, Liu Bang took the initiative to withdraw his troops, and the Xia army could reduce the losses of at least 70,000 to 80,000 people.

Lu Lingqi asked, "Lord, do you want the last general to lead the troops to pursue him?"

"Don't pursue it deeply."

Zhang Hua stopped Lu Lingqi from pursuing the Han army.

Zhang Hua remembers that in history, Zhang He, one of the five good generals, was ambushed and killed because of his pursuit of Zhuge Liang.

Liu Bang's military advisor Chen Ping was as expected as a god. He would set up an ambush when he withdrew his troops.

Chen Cangdao is not conducive to the development of the army. Once pursued, something will definitely happen.

Zhang Hua's purpose was to occupy Chen Cang and not fight to the death with Liu Bang. He also had to keep his troops to attack other places.

"Attacking the city is the best, attacking the heart is the best, and defeating the army without fighting is the most clever tactic of war. It seems that this person is indeed a wise ruler."

Wang Shouren served as military advisor and followed Zhang Hua to attack Chen Cang. As a result, before offering a plan, the 160,000 Han troops gathered in Chen Cang area had been withdrawn.

The deployment of attacking Chen Cang was decided long before Wang Shouren took office.

Zhang Hua did not rely on a certain strategist in particular, and had his own ideas. Each strategist only provided suggestions and improved Zhang Hua's plans.

This is also what Wang Shouren recognizes Zhang Hua.

The Han army military advisor Chen Ping, along with Zhou Yafu, Guan Ying, Fan Kuai and other Han generals, set up an ambush behind the palace. As long as the Xia army generals come to chase after him, ambushing up in the mountain road and rolling stones and wood are smashed down, the Xia army generals will definitely be defeated and killed.

However, Chen Ping and his group waited for a day, but the Xia army never came to chase and kill.

"Zhang Hua is bold, meticulous, thoughtful, and weird in his military service. He probably only wants to take Chen Cang, and his ambition is not in Hanzhong. The Xia army will not come to chase him, so we retreat to Hanzhong."

Seeing that the Xia army never appeared, Chen Ping inferred Zhang Hua's intentions, so he chose to retreat to Hanzhong with Zhou Yafu, Fan Kuai and other military generals.

“…”

Zhou Yafu was taciturn. He was once defeated by Zhang Hua's surprise attack and knew that this person was not easy to deal with.

The Han army's ambush came out and then retreated back to Hanzhong. Zhou Yafu looked at Chen Cang for the last time.

"How could more than 100,000 Han troops suddenly withdraw overnight? Could it be that Hanzhong is under threat?"

On the hill near Chencang City, Meng Tian led a small team of golden fire cavalry to witness Liu Bang's main force returning to Hanzhong and surrendering Chencang. He probably knew what had happened.

In this case, there are only two possibilities that can force Liu Bang to withdraw his troops suddenly, one is short of food, and the other is that Hanzhong is threatened.

"Meng Tian, ​​this person who defeated you is indeed a strong enemy." A Qin general appeared beside Meng Tian, ​​wearing black armor, looking down at the Xia army who took over Chen Cang below, and was arrogant. "We haven't joined forces for a long time. Last time we joined forces for battle, we still led 200,000 troops to attack Chu, and almost destroyed Chu... Unfortunately, I was too careless at that time and was defeated by Xiang Yan. But this time, I, Li Xin, will not repeat the same mistake."

"I'm afraid that the two of us will join forces and will not be the opponent of Xia Jun. Unless Wu'an Jun Bai Qi is here... But with Bai Qi's ending, I'm afraid that we will no longer serve our Qin."

Meng Tian thought of the strongest general of Qin State - Wu'an Jun Bai Qi.

Bai Qi made great achievements in military affairs, but was sentenced to death by King Zhaoxiang of Qin, which was also an example of the birds flying away and the good bows were hidden.

Bai Qi and Han Xin would rather surrender to other kings than continue to serve the Qin and Han dynasties.

"Bai Qi, that person is indeed terrible. However, since Bai Qi is unwilling to serve our Qin Dynasty, we can only rely on our own strength to defeat the Xia army, occupy Guanzhong, and sweep the world."

Li Xin was still very determined to fight and wanted to reproduce the feat of destroying the six kingdoms back then.

"Since the Han army has retreated, there is no need for us to monitor here."
