Xiang Yu soon discovered the anomaly. The scouts scattered around could always find traces of the Han army's scouts.

And no matter where he went, Xiang Yu always felt like he was being watched.

Every time the scouts met, they were always kicked away by the other party on the grounds of crossing the boundary.

This made Xiang Yu a little confused, and also made the scouts very confused. To fight or not to fight?

Fighting will completely expose them, but if you don't fight, it seems you can't escape the other party's tracking.

And every time he appears around, there are strange scouts.

Now Xiang Yu is not sure whether they have been discovered.

In desperation, Xiang Yu had no choice but to order the scouts to act as planned, while the large army accelerated their march.

Two days later, the Chu army finally realized that they had been discovered by the Han army.

"What should I do?" Xiang Yu looked at everyone in a panic.

It was already a fact that they were discovered. Han troops were everywhere, and even the main force of the Han troops was behind them.

"Ahem..." Fan Zengqiang supported his body and couldn't help coughing a few times, and then said: "Run, run as fast as you can. I hope you can find a boat when you get there..."

"Father, there are more than 3,000 people. Even if we find the boat, how can we guarantee that so many people can get on the boat?" Xiang Yu was not very hopeful.

There are very few seagoing ships these days.

Moreover, there is no difference between sea-going ships and river-going ships. They are both flat-bottomed ships.

The biggest advantage of a flat-bottomed boat is that it is stable enough and has a relatively larger load capacity.

But similarly, this kind of boat has poor resistance to wind and waves. When it reaches the sea, any wave can capsize the boat.

Over time, ships rarely sailed on the sea.

Even if you enter the sea, you should choose a day with relatively good weather and calm waves, and then sail along the coast.

Therefore, even if they reach the shore, there is no guarantee that the three thousand people will be able to board the ship.

And this is still considered an ideal situation. Now that the Han army has discovered them, won't they make preparations in advance?

"Then we have to go, and we can go as far as we can. Now we are outnumbered, our army is in urgent need of food and grass, and our fighting spirit is low. Facing fifty or sixty thousand Han troops, what big wave can these three thousand men make?"

Fan Zeng looked at Xiang Yu and persuaded him earnestly.

There is still a glimmer of hope if we leave, but if we stay, we will basically be dead.

"Yu'er, don't be impulsive and leave quickly!" Xiang Liang agreed with Fan Zeng's suggestion.

"uncle……"

"It's true that we can win more with less, but we can't put our hope in defeating more with less every time. Now the fighting chance is not on our side. Besides, Wang Li and Han Xin are not famous in vain. With the two of them in charge, these three thousand people can still

Is it possible to defeat 50,000 or 60,000 people?" Fan Zengji analyzed rationally.

It seems that he was afraid that Xiang Yu would not accept it, so he continued: "In ancient times, there was a battle between Jiang Shang and Muye, where 50,000 soldiers defeated 170,000 soldiers. The difference in the number of troops in this battle was only three times more than three times, and Jiang Shang used many strategies to counter the Shang army.

Only in this way can people win."

"There are many cases in the history of nations where a small number defeated a large number, but in every battle, there are actually signs that can be followed."

"Don't talk about the far side, let's just talk about the few battles fought by the King of Han where fewer people won more battles. Do you think we people now can reach the level of the Han army at that time? And the Han army, which is more elite than before, will be more capable.

Has my level dropped to that of Sima Xinbu back then?"

"The reason why Sima Xin's tribe was defeated was because the deputy general did not obey the general's order and could not cut his wrist as a strong man, so he was forcibly penetrated by the Han army from the front and was defeated."

"Do you think the current Han army will disobey the general's orders?"

"Wang Li is cunning and cunning, so he ordered his troops to push back slowly rather than attack, in order to force us to go south to face Han Xin. Although Han Xin was not famous before, he made great achievements in this expedition.

, if he doesn’t have some real materials, how can he pull out an army of more than 100,000 people in a short period of time?”

"The King of Han is even more cunning. First, he explicitly transferred Han Xin's elite troops away, but he still allowed Han Xin to develop in Surabaya County. How can he develop without troops?"

"If I'm not wrong, after Han Xin recruited the people of Chu, the King of Han should have secretly replaced the 50,000 troops. In this case, it will explain why Wang Li pushed us slowly and did not attack, and pushed us to the south.

."

"He wants us to think that Han Xin is weaker, so he goes to have a chance with Han Xin. Even if the King of Han does not replace the elites, even if we can gain an advantage, how much can we still do when facing Wang Li's tens of thousands of troops?"

A generation of war?"

"Run away... now is not the time to fight... ahem..."

Xiang Yu clenched his fists tightly, and there were faint traces of blood on his palms.

hatred……

At this moment, Xiang Yu felt nothing but hatred.

I have thought so much and done so much, but why is it still like this in the end?

Their uncle went from being alone to conquering most of the country of Chu, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses.

Why?

Why were they so defeated when the Han army came?

Why don't you even have the ability to fight head-on?

"I don't accept it..." Xiang Yu ran outside, roaring in a low voice.

"Yu'er..."

"Wu Xinjun!" Fan Zeng called out to Xiang Liang and shook his head at him to stop him from chasing Xiang Yu.

"Fan Gong, what should I do if the soldiers see Yu'er's current state?" Xiang Liang hurriedly looked at Fan Zeng and asked.

"It doesn't matter, morale isn't much better anyway. Yu'er is like this, maybe it can boost morale! Let's go quickly, there is still a tough battle to be fought later!" Fan Zeng said.

Why did they only bring more than 3,000 people out?

Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu had more than 100,000 soldiers?

These more than 3,000 people were the ones that their uncle and nephew could guarantee would follow them in a bloody fight to the death at any time.

So even if morale is a little low at the moment, they still firmly believe in this.

If Xiang Yu's behavior can arouse morale, it will undoubtedly be a good thing for them.

"He is not convinced. Who is willing to be convinced? It's just that the Han army is too strong and the King of Han is too strong. They tighten when they should be tight and loosen when they should be loose. They don't give us any chance to fight back..." Fan Zeng shook his head with a wry smile.

, sighing secretly that his life has been full of ups and downs.

It’s so frustrating to be on the verge of old age and have to leave...

"Facing the Han army is like being punched in the water. Not only is it useless, but it will quickly sink oneself into it. If nothing else, this King of Han is really a wise monarch!" Xiang Liang also said.

He couldn't help but sigh.

What can be done?

Whoever has experienced that feeling of powerlessness knows it.

"Cough cough... cough cough..."

Fan Zeng's cough suddenly worsened and he continued to cough for a while. Xiang Liang was so frightened that he quickly stepped forward to help him and at the same time asked someone to call the medical officer.

After a while, Fan Zeng's coughing frequency decreased slightly.

Looking at Xiang Liang, he said earnestly: "I'm afraid I won't be able to survive this time. The Han army wins with execution, strategy, and diligence. Yu'er's temper is a big problem. If you are not around one day, I'm afraid there will be no one left."

If you can suppress him, if you can go to Kuaiji this time, you can polish Yu'er's temper, and develop with peace of mind in Kuaiji. You must be stable rather than fast. You must be more considerate to the soldiers under your command, and you must be more diligent in training. Maybe one day you will be able to do it again.
