Li Tangshan and Pan left the restaurant and marched in the direction of Dingtao.

At the beginning of the war, a large number of scattered Qin troops in the area under the rule of the Six Nations were annihilated

Among these old nobles, the Chu people from Jiangdong were the most warlike. This is mainly because the area he is in is more remote, and it is a place where the Qin people have very low control. The traditional hereditary large aristocracy of the Chu people is very easy to produce local Xiaoqiang like Xiang Yu. Therefore, Xiang Yu and the Chu Restoration Army actually served as the main force to resist the rule of the Qin Dynasty.

In the early days of the war, Xiang Yu's Chu army had fought many fierce battles with the Qin army, and even had a slight upper hand.

Panli asked, "Xianggong, why did you go to Dingtao?" ”

Li Tangshan: "I want to witness the famous battle of Dingtao in history, and the era of Xiang Yu is coming." ”

Pan Li: "Xianggong, are you going to assist Xiang Yu?" ”

Li Tangshan shook his head and said: "Liu Bang is the true son of heaven, I won't help him, and we will find Wang Li after the battle of Dingtao." ”

In July 208 BC, Xiang Liang led the Chu army to attack Qin, and defeated the Qin army in Dong'e (now Yanggua Town, Shandong), Puyang (now southwest of Puyang, Henan), Dingtao, Chengyang (now southeast of the old town of Juancheng, Shandong), and Yongqiu (now Qixian County, Henan).

Li Tangshan and Panli came to Dingtao, but they did not go directly to the Chu army, nor did they go to the Qin army of Zhanghan. Li Tangshan's purpose is very clear, and he must not interfere too much with the course of history.

The situation in Dingtao is very good for the Chu army, which has just fought many fierce battles with the Qin army.

In the vast sea of people under Dingtao City, Li Tangshan saw a familiar figure, so he stepped forward to stop him: "Yan Le, are you really interfering with the process of history?" ”

Yan Le was startled and said, "Why are you?" What are you running here for? How can Li Tangshan hand over what Li Si handed over to you. ”

Li Tangshan said angrily: "You killed Li Si's family, and this account has not been settled with your old man Zhao Gao." ”

Yan Le laughed: "We killed his family to follow the trend of history, Li Tangshan, the person who wants to change history is you, not us." ”

Li Tangshan was bumped into by Yan Le and couldn't say a word.

Seeing that Li Tangshan was speechless by himself, an inexplicable sense of accomplishment surged into his heart from the soles of his feet, and his whole body was refreshed for a while, and he continued: "It is also a historical trend for us to help our Qin general Zhang Han kill Xiang Liang this time. Li Tangshan: You say it's not? ”

Li Tangshan can't deny Yan Le's statement, and history has indeed developed like this. In the early days, the Chu army even had a slight upper hand. But in the subsequent Battle of Dingtao, Xiang Yu's uncle Xiang Liang surrounded and suppressed the troops of the Qin general Zhang Han alone. The Qin army supported in time and adopted surprise attacks to break the Chu army, Xiang Liang was killed in battle, and the main force of the Chu army suffered heavy losses. In order to cope with the possible attack of Zhang Han later, King Huai of Chu was forced to shrink his forces and transfer back Xiang Yu, Liu Bang, Lü Chen, and others to prepare for a decisive battle with the Qin army.

However, Zhang Han, the general of the Qin State, believed that the battle of Dingtao had already crushed the main force of the Chu army, and the rest was not to be worried. So instead of destroying the newly rebuilt Chu State in one go, he prepared to wave his army north and cross the river to attack the Zhao State. This actually reflected the serious predicament of the Qin army at that time. They had to use their limited manpower to face different enemies in a vast area of several battlefields. The coalition forces of the Avengers could echo each other, attracting the Qin army through loose alliances while seizing the time to regain strength locally.

The Battle of Dingtao was the last great victory of the Qin army against the Chu forces

Li Tangshan himself was originally an observer of history, not a promoter of history.

Yan Le laughed and left, Li Tangshan could only watch from the side, slowly moving away, Yan Le sulked.

Li Tangshan knew that in the battle of Dingtao, Zhang Han, with the help of Yan Le, would win without discussion, so he could only move back to a game in the Julu War. Li Tangshan took Panli to leave Dingtao and went to Handan to find Wang Li's brother.

Pan Li didn't understand and asked, "Xianggong, why did you let Yan Le go?" ”

Li Tangshan shook his head and said, "Now is not the time to kill him. In the battle of Dingtao, the Chu army will be defeated, we will leave Dingtao first, go to Handan to find Wang Li, the main force of the Great Wall Army led by Wang Li from the Great Wall along the Guangyang Road south effortlessly captured Dongyuan and this place with extremely convenient transportation. He would use Dongyuan as the base camp for the southern expedition. He would then march eastward along the Yellow River and threaten Handan, attacking Xindu, the capital of Zhao, from the north and south with Zhang's army. ”

Pan Li nodded and said, "Then the Zhao people will be defeated?" ”

Li Tangshan agreed: "The fiasco of the Zhao people and their request for help triggered the Julu War, and at present, although the princes of the countries still have many contradictions with each other, they must send troops to reinforce the Julu. Because once the Zhao people were wiped out by the Qin army, then the alliance would lose an important chess piece to contain the opponent in the north. ”

Pan Li: "The Qin people have a big reason that the Qin people will establish a large rear in the northwest of Guanzhong, Bashu and Zhao Dynasty, and launch a steady stream of attacks on the southeastern vassal states. ”

Li Tangshan: "The local rebels did not have a unified power structure at this time, so they could only stop and wait and see after they arrived at the battlefield. is also because of the lack of trust and cooperation between each other, otherwise they are very afraid of being broken by the Qin army one by one. Almost all of them reached a tacit agreement to sit quietly until the arrival of the Chu army, which could serve as the main force. ”

Pan Li: "On the northern front, the Zhao people, who had just returned to the country, began to face internal and external troubles. They had fought with the Qin army before the Battle of Dingtao, and the general Li Liang also surrendered to Zhang Han due to defeat. As a result, this original Restoration Army was transformed into an auxiliary army of the Qin people. ”

Li Tangshan nodded: "You are right, when Zhang Han went south to deal with the Chu people, he had been threatening the remnants of the Zhao army in the north. The Zhao people also felt anxious because of this, causing the capital Handan to fall again. Another Qin general, Wang Li's troops, kept chasing and beating the Zhao people, making the other party very embarrassed. ”

Smart Panli seemed to think of something: "Xianggong, if this is the case, the defeated Zhao Wangxi and Zhang Er led the remnants to rush out of the city and retreat to Julu County in the southeast. Zhao Wang Xie and his general Chen Yu camped in Xi'an, Julu City, and asked for help from the rebel armies of the vassal states. ”

Li Tangshan looked at Panli and confidently analyzed today's major events, looking so beautiful, and kissed him lightly on the face.

Panli watched Li Tangshan tease himself, and shyly punched Li Tangshan a few times, Li Tangshan smiled: "Chivalrous girl, go!" Let's go to Handan together! ”。

That night, Xiang Liang's main force of the Chu army had formed a siege of Dingtao City, Xiang Liang never thought that Zhang Han, who was cowering in Puyang City, would dare to lead the army to break through, so Xiang Liang, who was unprepared, was surrounded by Zhang Han's troops who suddenly appeared.

In this way, Xiang Liang's troops were wrapped in dumplings and beaten by the Qin army, which directly beat the Chu army into a daze. The Qin army took advantage of this opportunity to directly kill the Chu army into a river of blood, and in such a chaotic battle, Xiang Liang could not hold on even if he was beaten with iron, and the final result was that the Chu army was defeated, the Qin army won a big victory, and even Xiang Liang was killed in the chaos.

His head was also cut off by Zhang Han's order and hung on the Qin army's halberd as a trophy.
