In October 202 BC, in the south of Yangxia City, about 200 kilometers from Xingyang, the Han army pursued the Chu army.

Liu Bang stopped the march and sent envoys to recruit Han Xin and Peng Yue to join him. Han Xin and Peng Yue did not come.

Han Xin thinks that since Chu Han has signed a peace treaty, it has nothing to do with him if one party breaks the contract and fights again, and I feel at ease to be my king of Qi. Peng Yue excused Wei Di had just been pacified, and there was still an urgent need to pacify him, so he wouldn't be able to come for a while.

Chu Han fought a battle in Guling (southeast of Taikang County, Henan), known as the 'Battle of Guling' in history. The Han army was defeated. Liu Bang immediately adjusted his strategy and ordered the main force of the Han army to stick to the camp and no longer attack rashly. The rear of the Han army was stable, the supply of grain and grass was sufficient, and it was not afraid of a protracted war.

In the entire Chu-Han War, Xiang Yu won but became weaker and weaker, and Liu Bang was defeated and fought again but became stronger and stronger, one of the important reasons was that Xiang Yu did not manage Guanzhong well, and Liu Bang seized Guanzhong to build a solid base.

Now the blood shed is all the water that entered the brain at the beginning, and it is too late for Xiang Yu to regret it.

Liu Bang judged that Xiang Yu planned to go to Shouchun (Shou County, Anhui), the former capital of Chu State, to defend it, and he ordered his brother Liu Jia to lead a group of troops to cross the Huai River, take the lead in occupying Shouchun, and cut off Xiang Yu's retreat.

At the same time, Liu Bang gave full play to his expertise and carried out united front work, and Chu Jiangling often abandoned Chu and joined Han. Lingchang was enshrined in the Han Dynasty.

Zhang Liang offered a plan to persuade Liu Bang to agree to Han Xin and Peng Yue to share the world in order to win their support. Liu Bang agreed.

Liu Bang wrote to inform him that the area east of Chendi (southeastern Henan) to the coast was given to Han Xin, the king of Qi; The territory north of Suiyang to Gucheng (Dongping County, Shandong) was assigned to Peng Yue, and Peng Yue was crowned king.

As soon as the letter was sent, Han Xin and Peng Yue both came with troops.

It's not profitable, it's too early! Han Xin and Peng Yue regarded themselves as Liu Bang's partners and did not take Liu Bang as their leader, and their tragic ending was doomed.

The essence of Zhang Liang's strategy lies in the large and small contradictions, first grasping the main contradictions, and the current main contradictions are still between Chu and Han.

In November 202 BC, the infant cavalry troops in Huaibei and the main force of the Han army met at Yixiang (Luyi, Henan).

The Battle of Chenxia broke out between Chu and Han, and the Chu army was defeated.

Xiang Yunan fled to the city father (Anhui Bozhou City Father Collection) and held on to the city. At the same time, Liu Jiace rebelled against Zhou Yin, the great Sima of Western Chu, and Zhou Yin joined forces with Yingbu all the way, joined Liu Jia, and went north to attack Xiang Yu. Under the leadership of Han Xin, several Han troops stormed the city father and pulled out Xiang Yu's last stronghold.

Xiang Yu fled to Qixia (Lingbi, Anhui), and the Han army quickly followed, surrounding the 100,000 Chu legions at Yuanxia.

In December 202 BC, the vigorous struggle for hegemony between Chu and Han finally came to an end. A famous battle of milestone in Chinese history - the Battle of Qixia is about to be staged.

This is a battle that derives the most historical allusions, and this is a battle that completely ends the situation of the struggle between Chu and Han.
