Chapter 308: Retreating three she, Chengpu strategy for hegemony!

~9 min read 1,748 words

【Post-battle cleanup: Chu army collapsed, Ziyu committed suicide】

【To preserve the core elites of the Chu State, Ziyu ordered a retreat.】

【The Jin army occupied the Chu camp and captured countless supplies.】

【After Ziyu returned to the country, because he was arbitrary, disobeyed the monarch's orders, and caused heavy losses, he was held accountable by King Cheng of Chu and finally committed suicide to apologize.】

【After the battle, Duke Wen of Jin held a meeting with the feudal lords at Jiantu, and King Xiang of Zhou personally conferred upon him the title of Houbo (Hegemon), and the Jin State thus established its position as the hegemon of the Central Plains.】

The sky screen slowly dissipated, but the impact it brought to the myriad worlds and time-spaces did not subside for a long time.

【The myriad worlds and time-spaces, all kinds of immortals exploded】

Eastern Han Nanguo, everyone's reaction.

Liu Bang let out a long breath, slapped his thigh and laughed: "Satisfying! Truly satisfying! This is much more interesting than chopping melons and vegetables!"

"This kid Chong'er, able to endure and ruthless, is material for an emperor! Unlike that Zhao Kuo, who only knows how to brag!"

Ying Zheng snorted coldly, but the corners of his mouth seemed to move slightly:

"War is based on deception, strategy is paramount. The Jin people's battle this time deeply fits the Art of War."

"If Bai Qi saw this battle, he would consider him a soulmate. However, that Ziyu deserved to die."

Liu Che's eyes were shining, as if he saw the shadow of his younger self.

"Retreating three she, luring the enemy deep, splitting and surrounding... Wonderful! Truly wonderful!"

"When I set an ambush at Mayi, it had a bit of this flavor! Duke Wen of Jin is truly a kindred spirit of mine!"

Liu Xiu was also convinced: "Advancing by retreating, using falsehood as reality."

"This battle is not only a victory of military strategy but also a manifestation of faith and righteousness."

"Duke Wen of Jin being able to establish hegemony with this is well-deserved."

Emperors and celebrities from other planes also started to complain.

【Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng Plane】 (Parallel Universe)

Li Si looked at the sky screen and stroked his beard in praise: "Your Majesty, although this battle does not have the tragedy of burying tens of thousands alive, it has a change in the world's pattern."

"The Jin people won with strategy, winning over a million brave soldiers."

"If our Great Qin conquers the Six States in the future, we should also do this, subduing the enemy without fighting."

Ying Zheng said lightly: "Ziyu's defeat lies in pride. King Cheng of Chu's loss lies in doubt."

"Chong'er's victory lies in the combination of faith and deception."

"This battle can be a model for later generations."

【Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che Plane】 (Parallel Universe)

Wei Qing looked at the Jin army's battle formation on the sky screen, his eyes full of admiration:

"Great General, the exquisiteness of the formation and the change between reality and falsehood in this battle, I am ashamed of my inferiority."

"Especially the strategy of feigning defeat to lure the enemy, it cannot be done without great composure."

Huo Qubing was rubbing his hands: "Uncle, this Duke Wen of Jin is spicy!"

"Retreating ninety li and then turning back to kill the enemy, this is much more satisfying than charging directly!"

"Next time we fight the Xiongnu, let's try this trick!"

【Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin Plane】

Fang Xuanling stroked his beard and smiled: "Your Majesty, this battle is a textbook of strategy."

"Duke Wen of Jin does not doubt the people he uses; generals like Xian Zhen and Hu Mao perform their duties and cooperate seamlessly."

"This is a model of monarch and minister getting along and working together."

Du Ruhui nodded and said: "And that 'retreating three she' is both repaying kindness and strategy."

"The breadth of mind and depth of strategy of Chong'er are beyond the reach of ordinary men."

Li Shimin laughed loudly: "What a retreat of three she!"

"When I had the Xuanwu Gate Incident, wasn't I also seeking a chance for a one-hit kill while enduring?"

"This Chong'er, I like him very much!"

【Emperor Taizu of Song, Zhao Kuangyin Plane】

Zhao Pu frowned: "Your Majesty, the Jin army won with fewer troops this time, the key lies in hitting the weak."

"Although the Chu army was numerous, the Right Army was a mob and collapsed at the first touch, leading to the total loss."

"It can be seen that a strong army is not about numbers, but about elites."

Zhao Kuangyin sighed: "King Cheng of Chu is also a muddled egg; clearly knowing Ziyu is unreliable, he still let him lead the troops."

"If it weren't for Chong'er's extraordinary faith and righteousness, the outcome of this battle would be unknown."

【Emperor Taizu of Ming, Zhu Yuanzhang Plane】

Xu Da looked at the sky screen and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the Jin army in this battle had strict discipline and obeyed orders."

"Looking at the Chu army, the commander was arrogant, and there was internal discord; how could they not be defeated?"

Chang Yuchun's temper was as hot as fire, and he spat: "That Ziyu is just a fool who doesn't know the height of the sky and the depth of the earth!"

"Daring to chase the enemy's elites with a bunch of miscellaneous troops, he deserved to die!"

Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his chin and chuckled: "This kid Chong'er is able to endure and ruthless."

"Exiled for nineteen years, he came back and conquered the world."

"Such a person can accomplish great things in any dynasty."

"However, if he encountered someone thick-skinned who chased to the end with this 'retreating three she', wouldn't he suffer a big loss?"

【Emperor Shengzu of Qing, Kangxi Plane】

Mingzhu looked at the sky screen and analyzed: "Your Majesty, the Jin army won this battle by knowing themselves and the enemy."

"They knew the Chu army's weakness was the vassal army, so they concentrated their forces to attack the right wing."

"This is what military strategists call 'avoiding the real and attacking the empty'."

Songgotu also nodded: "And Duke Wen of Jin can keep faith and righteousness, retreating ninety li, which won him a very high reputation among the feudal lords of the world; this is subduing the enemy without fighting."

Emperor Kangxi was thoughtful: "Ziyu did not listen to the monarch's orders and was arbitrary; what is the use of bravery?"

"In governing the world, what I fear most is such arrogant soldiers and fierce generals."

"I should take this battle as a warning."

【Sky screen comments, completely exploded】

Just as the emperors and generals were commenting on the battle situation.

At the edge of the sky screen, lines of flashing comments suddenly began to drift by, which were real-time complaints from countless onlookers from later generations.

【Netizen·Spring and Autumn Old Rogue】

(Chong'er, oh Chong'er, you were in exile for nineteen years, and the first thing you did when you returned was to fight; your energy is too vigorous!)

(This is not a hegemon, this is simply the number one fighting maniac of the Spring and Autumn period!)

【Netizen·Ziyu's Coffin Board】

(Ziyu: I just wanted to win a battle to prove myself...)

(Chong'er: Okay, I'll arrange a complete corpse for you. Ziyu died.)

【Netizen·History Class Representative】

(Knock on the blackboard! The key point is here!)

("Retreating three she" comes from here!)

(Chong'er's move not only earned fame but also territory; it is simply full-score essay material!)

【Netizen·Military Enthusiast】

(To be reasonable, the Battle of Chengpu is the first "battle" level strategy showdown in ancient military history.)

(Previous wars were mostly about numbers bullying the few; this time it was an intellectual crush!)

【Netizen·King Cheng of Chu's Victim】

(King Cheng of Chu: The tough guy I raised with such difficulty was crippled by the neighbor Old Wang.)

(My Chu State, my hard work! QAQ)

【Netizen·Jin State Logistics Minister】

(Pity the logistics of the Jin State; retreating ninety li and then fighting back, how many pairs of shoe soles were worn out?)

(Chong'er's foot strength is okay.)

【Netizen·Warring States Little Fan】

(Bai Qi seeing this battle, probably thinking: This Chong'er, has half my ruthlessness, but not half my dirtiness.)

【Netizen·Liu Bang's Little Fan】

(Han Gaozu: This old boy Chong'er was in exile longer than me, and fought more insidiously than me, but I am more handsome than him! (Forced to save face))

【Netizen·Zhu Yuanzhang's Irritable Fan】

(Old Zhu: Chong'er's move of retreating three she, if used well, is a divine calculation.)

(If not used well, it would be the second Zhao Kuo of the Battle of Changping.)

(Fortunately, Chong'er is not Zhao Kuo.)

The comments on the sky screen were still scrolling, full of modern humor and ridicule, forming a sharp contrast with the solemn and solemn ancient battlefield of the Spring and Autumn period.

Inside the hall,

Liu Bang looked at those comments, especially when he saw someone saying he was not as good as Chong'er, so angry that he blew his beard and stared.

"What the hell! What are these comments?"

"When I entered Guanzhong, I made a three-chapter law; that is the true style of a king!"

Ying Zheng glanced coldly at those comments and said lightly: "These people of later generations are more daring to speak than their predecessors."

"However, what they said is not entirely unreasonable."

Liu Che looked at the ridicule about himself on the sky screen and laughed loudly.

"Good! What a (fighting maniac)!"

"I and Chong'er are truly in agreement! These comments are very interesting!"

Liu Xiu looked at this interaction across thousands of years and couldn't help but smile.

He suddenly felt that these ancient heroes no longer seemed so unreachable.

Gu Shanhe stood in the corner of the hall, watching all this, a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

The wheels of history rolled forward, and his sky screen was reawakening these dusty stories in an unprecedented way.

"Xiuer."

Gu Shanhe stepped forward and said to Liu Xiu.

"Although the Battle of Chengpu has passed, the wisdom of (retreating three she) will never be outdated."

"The next battle might be even more exciting."

Liu Xiu nodded deeply, looking at the sky screen with burning eyes: "I will wait and see."
