At the beginning of Yingbu as the king of Huainan, there was only Jiujiang County, including Shouchun, Gaocheng, Danyang and other places, and then because of the death of Wu Qi, he slightly occupied Hengshan and other places, and the king of Changsha did not dare to say much in his jurisdiction.

Later, because of the love of the Han Dynasty, of course, the fear in the heart also accounted for part of the reason, after all, the allusion of the rabbit and the dead dog cooking has been common since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

In the early stage of Yingbu rebellion, Liu Bang did not arrive, but also made it occupy the land, that day in the Huainan Palace, Yingbu summoned the goalkeeper, the most advanced of which is Luan Bu, and Dazai and Lao Zhangren can only be ranked in the back position.

However, Dazai's heart was quite worried about Yingbu's anti-Han, so he spoke first: "Now that Liu Bang is in the sea, we only have a size of land, why do you want to raise an army to make trouble?" If the king descends, how can the king of Pingnan not help you solve your worries? ”

Yingbu was beside him, sneering slightly, "Liu Bang is cunning and sleek, when the Hou Ye saw that the Qin Dynasty was not effective, he was with him, recommended virtuous and virtuous, and had more schemes, but I never thought that now I am imprisoned in Chang'an, and my own safety is still unknown, I raised troops today in order to protect the Hou Ye and make him not bound by the Son of Heaven!" ”

"However, our generals have gathered, and Liu Bang has not yet arrived, what should we do?" Yingbu's husband said helplessly.

Yingbu's face was indifferent, and he said quite indifferently: "Now that the emperor is old, he must hate fighting in his heart, where can he personally lead the troops, if he sends generals, there is no one left and right, if he wants to come to Han Xin and Peng Yue, they are all dead, why are the rest of the generals afraid?" ”

Luan Bu was also the head of the jaw beside him, "What the king said is true, not only the virtuous generals are all dead, but also the strategist is Chen Ping, who is good friends with the king, how can he be willing to work for the emperor, and now it is the best policy to raise troops and occupy all the places!" ”

As a result, Yingbu took the lead in attacking Jing to the east, and the prince of his land was named Liu Jia, who was a distant cousin of Liu Bang, because of his military exploits when Chu and Han were fighting, so he was crowned king, and his jurisdiction was fifty-two cities east of the Huai River.

Although Liu Jia had a strategy, he was defeated by Yingbu after all, and he never thought that Yingbu would attack his royal capital first, so he had to rush into battle, defeated Fuling, and was killed by the Yingbu rebel army.

This battle was the first victory, which gave the Huainan army a great victory, and Yingbu also hijacked all of Liu Jia's troops and crossed the Huai River to attack the state of Chu, which was the land that Han Xin had received at the time.

Han Xin was slandered and demoted to the Marquis of Huaiyin, and then Liu Bang appointed his fourth brother Liu Jiao as the king, this person was the disciple of Fuqiubo, who had served in Dongjun and Fuqiubo, because of the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes at the end of Qin, so he lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests with his master, and stayed until Liu Bang rebelled, and Liu handed over the mountain Sasuke, so he was crowned king.

At that time, Fu Chubo was old, and when he heard that Yingbu was attacking, he was very surprised, after all, in his eyes, Yingbu was only Lu Yan's entourage, and he never thought that he had today's momentum, and he was really puzzled.

Liu Jiao didn't dare to fight, so he consulted with Mu Sheng, Bai Sheng, and Shen Gong, that is, the other disciples of Fuchubo at the beginning, and the five of their masters and apprentices were rarely separated, and this kind of friendship was very rare.

In the palace of the king of Chu, the five of them did it against each other, their faces were anxious, after all, they were all engaged in literature, and now that the enemy army was attacking, they were naturally a little panicked, Liu Jiao asked slightly: "Teacher, now Yingbu is attacking, can there be a strategy to defend against the enemy?" ”

Fu Qiubo was quite calm, and said slowly: "Now Chu is thousands of miles away, the soldiers will be wide, just stick to the territory of your country, and when Your Majesty arrives, everything can be solved." ”

Shen Gong next to him was more belligerent, and immediately retorted: "The master is old and doesn't like war, but now Yingbu led the army to cross the Huai River, his army is very brave, but our army is also waiting for work, what is there to fear, if you gather troops and fight with one, you will definitely be able to defeat the thief army!" ”

When Liu Jiao heard this, he bowed his head slightly, "Shen Gong's words are true, the teacher guarding the city is a good policy, but how can our brothers and sisters be in a corner here, waiting for the army to come, so Your Majesty will definitely despise us, the teacher can stay here, and the four of my brothers can go to meet the battle." ”

So without waiting for Fuqiu Boduo to say, Liu Jiao organized the army to fight with the Huainan Army, which was the main general, Mu Sheng, Bai Sheng, and Shen Gong were the deputy generals, each with 20,000 soldiers and horses, and the soldiers were divided into three routes, so that each side could support each other if there were difficulties, and it could also ensure that the main force was not completely annihilated.

In the Chu military camp, Liu Jiao was studying poetry and books, and suddenly saw the deputy general Mu Sheng coming in, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised, "A certain team with a virtuous brother can attack the Yingbu army tomorrow, why don't you rest earlier?" ”

"Brother, I think we should join forces all the way, and we should not act separately, that Yingbu is good at fighting with soldiers, and the people are afraid, if we are defeated all the way, the other two roads may be difficult to win!" Mu Sheng said quite calmly.

Liu Jiao smiled, and said a little jokingly: "It must be a virtuous brother who reads military books at night, but he sees a taboo in the art of war?" ”

Mu Sheng scratched his head with some shame, "What my brother said is true, there are clouds in the book of soldiers, the princes fight in the country, and the soldiers will flee in danger, now we are fighting in Chu, and the soldiers are familiar with geography, if the army is scattered all the way, the generals will definitely run for their lives." ”

Liu Jiao immediately waved his hand, "Brother Xian is too worried, tomorrow the Yingbu army will rush to the land of Xu Xu, and rest tonight, so as to wait for the enemy army, don't think about something that is useless." ”

Seeing this, Mu Sheng did not persuade him more, and in the early morning of the next day, Liu Jiao and Mu Sheng led the army to the land of Xu Yu first, and the Yingbu army also followed.

The two armies were here, Yingbu first rode up and fought with Mu Sheng, who belonged to the ranks of Confucian scholars, and was invincible to Yingbu bravely, and only three or four rendezvous, and then defeated.

Seeing this, Yingbu was overjoyed, and immediately ordered the soldiers on the left and right to rush up, Liu Jiao saw that Mu Sheng was invincible, and immediately covered with troops.

Tens of thousands of soldiers died in the battle between Xu and Xu, because the deputy general of the Chu army was defeated first, and the spirit was frustrated, in less than half an hour, the Chu army could not meet the enemy, scattered and fled, Liu Jiao and Mu Sheng also led the remnants of the army to flee to Yingdu, and defended the door behind closed doors.

The two armies of Shen Gong and Bai Sheng, before they arrived at the battlefield, had already heard that Liu was defeated, which made the people of the two armies panic, and the Chu army was born in Chu, and the heroes were brave, and Huai and Chu all knew it, because they all fled.

Bai Sheng and Shen Gong were scholars, and they didn't know how to use military law to deal with deserters, so that the Chu army did not care about each other, and tens of thousands of soldiers escaped.

The Huainan army won successive battles, won a great victory in morale, and then occupied a large area of land in the state of Chu, but the city defense of Yingdu was strong and difficult to break, Yingbu felt that a long attack was not the way, so he robbed the property along the way, brought it back to Gaocheng, and stayed behind the deputy general to take charge of the territory.

At this time, Liu Bang's assigned three-way soldiers and horses had also reached the land of Huainan, and as for Yingbu's eastward attack to the border of Chu, all the troops were withdrawn and began to attack westward.

The strategy used by Yingbu was what Xue Gong said, which was only to expand around the fiefdom and plunder the people's property, so it was difficult to last long.
