Xiang Yu's challenge
The child conquered the overlord like this" Peng Yue hijacked Waihuang and forced us to resist you. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info But we are looking forward to you to save us day and night! Now that you're here and you're going to kill us, can we not feel wronged? If such a thing spreads, you still have more than a dozen cities controlled by Peng Yue in the east to attack, will they still dare to surrender?"
Xiang Yu was shocked on the spot.
It's not that he hasn't seen a brilliant theory, but the question is: such a brilliant theory blurted out of the mouth of a 13-year-old child!
Xiang Yu immediately ordered: Release all the people who are ready to be killed!
The people of Waihuang are crying again, this is not a cry of sorrow, but a cry of farewell to hell, the ultimate expression of their instinctive fear of death and thirst for life!
Since then, there has been no historical record of Xiang Yu's massacre of the city and the pit people.
He even began to think: it's time for this war to end!
At this critical moment when Xiang Yu began to transform the advantages and disadvantages of the Chu and Han rivalries, he regained his benevolence and righteousness, and seemed to have changed into a different person.
Leniency and concession began to permeate the character of the overlord of Western Chu.
It's just that he was not benevolent enough in the past, and he was not ruthless enough in the future, which is not conducive to his hegemony.
In the next few days, east of Waihuang and all the way to Suiyang, all the cities occupied by Peng Yue fell to the wind.
Peng Yue was forced to abandon Wei and go to Gucheng in Jibei County, close to Han Xin in order to protect himself.
Xiang Yu seems to have felt the invincible power of the benevolent, and has a more tangled understanding of the previous wars and killings, right?
Yes!
There is no one who does not believe: the suffering is coming to an end.
And all this in front of me is just the most tormenting night before dawn!
But to survive the night, it needs a decisive battle.
Yes, the decisive battle, it is not far off!
It must also be added here: that big hooligan Liu Bang, in the last year of the Chu-Han conflict, there was still a non-stop massacre of the city, and it was his subordinates who did it.
As with all plays, there must be a prologue, a beginning, a development, and a climax to get to the end.
The people of the world are waiting to see the ending of the drama of the battle between Chu and Han, how much blood and tears have been shed, how many soldiers and horses have been boiled up, and how many wives and wives have been separated... Now, they seem to have heard the rush of horses' hooves and the urgent sound of war drums!
Yes, it's the climax sound, and that sound is called a challenge!
Han Xin's second battlefield and the last battle, and Peng Yue's third battlefield have completely died down, so let's concentrate and finally look at the scene of the main battlefield of Xingyang and Chenggao!
Sure enough, as Xiang Yu expected, once he left Chenggao, Liu Bang would be out of the cage again.
Although Cheng Gao's guard general Cao Zhi followed Xiang Yu's instructions, he retreated into the city without fighting.
But how can he fight against Liu Bang, the cunning and cunning master of the turtle war?
Liu Bangas sent a group of people with the most poisonous tongues to Chenggao City and scolded Cao Ji in the city.
Cao Ji couldn't help it at the beginning, and was furious and ready to go out of the city to fight, but was immediately stopped by one person: Sima Xin, the former king of Cyprus.
So under Sima Xin's painstaking persuasion, Cao Yi endured it for a few days.
But the scolding of the Han army outside the city never stopped, and even the more they scolded, the more ugly it became.
In the end, he scolded Cao Ji and finally couldn't stand it anymore, and despite Sima Xin's dissuasion, he led his troops to rush out of the east gate of Chenggao City.
Outside the east gate, there is a small tributary of the Yellow River.
On the east bank of the river, Liu Bang is ready: Cao Ji, you will come!
As soon as you get out of the city, I'll wipe you out!"
Cao Ji, who was dazed, didn't think too much, and immediately ordered: cross the water and capture Liu Bang alive!
There is a sentence in "The Art of War" that "let the half be struck by the half"
Meaning: When the opponent crosses the river halfway and is in a dilemma, the attack wins.
Half-crossing and attacking, this is a profound summary of the art of war!
So, when the Chu army had only crossed half of the water, Liu Bang commanded the Han army to attack it halfway!
The Chu army was suddenly defeated, and Cao Ji and Sima Xin committed suicide by the Bishui River.
Liu Bang re-entered Chenggao, and the gold, silver and jewelry left by Xiang Yu became his bag.
What's more: Liu Bang sent troops to firmly hold between Guangwu and Aocang.
All the grain in Aocang was owned by the Han army again.
After Liu Bang revitalized the Han army, he immediately surrounded Zhong Liyi, the third general under Xiang Yu, who was guarding Xingyang.
At this time, Xiang Yu had just beaten away Peng Yue and recovered all the 17 cities of Weidi, and the news of Cao's defeat, Chenggao's loss, Aocang was captured, and Xingyang was besieged reached his ears.
Xiang Yu can only return to the army again, and strive to recapture Chenggao again!
Chenggao City hid how much of his looted property along the road, and once Chenggao lost, he would lose the big granary Ao Cang, and then the food supply of the Chu army would be in big trouble!
That's right, Xiang Yu is about to try the serious consequences of Cheng Gao's loss!
And the things that give Xiang Yu a headache are far more than that!
After Han Xin pacified Linzi, Qi Wang Tianguang sent someone to Xiang Yu for help.
As an overlord Xiang Yu who has been fighting on horseback all his life, it is absolutely wrong to say that he has no strategic vision.
He had already seen the great strategic significance of the Qi State and the huge threat to himself from Han Xin's second battlefield, so he had no choice but to send the last trump card: he ordered his second general, Long He, to lead the Chu army, which claimed to be 200,000, to go north to join Tian Guang and prepare to fight Han Xin to the death!
When life and death are at stake, the old and new hatreds of the past are no longer important!
It stands to reason that Qi Chu originally had a two-generation feud, but now Tian Guang didn't care about it, and just went to Xiang Yu with a cheeky face.
And when Xiang Yu heard Tian Guang's request for help, he immediately showed the spirit of righteousness and courage!
Let's take a look at the main battlefield of the Chu and Han conflicts.
This time, the two armies of Chu and Han confronted each other again on the Guangwu front.
Guangwu, the name of the mountain, the east is connected with Yingze, the west is connected to the water, the situation is dangerous, there is a broken stream in the mountain to cut open, two peaks are divided, Liu Bang has been self-consolidating according to the stream in the west, such a situation, Xiang Yu is difficult to pounce on Liu Bang even if there are thousands of troops and horses.
His only recourse was: to build a fortress on the east stream of Guangwu, at a distance from the Han army.
Dozens of days have passed since this confrontation.
Fighting a protracted war, this is what Liu Bang is most willing to see.
He has Ao Cang, even if it is spent until next year, he is not afraid.
However, Xiang Yu is different, the army is short of food, the army's heart is shaken, and the food problem has never threatened him so seriously!
What to do?
If the confrontation continues like this, I'm afraid this battle won't be fought, hunger alone is enough to crush the Chu army!
Xiang Yu must fight quickly and find a way to defeat Liu Bang in a short time.
This time, he played the hostage card.
Xiang Yu has two hostages in his hands that pose the greatest threat to Liu Bang: Liu Bang's father, Liu Taigong, and his wife Lu Pheasant.
Xiang Yu set up a big tripod on the side of the Guangwu Stream, and put Liu Taigong and Lu Pheasant out, and then Xiang Yu yelled across the stream, "Liu Bang, you listen to me: surrender quickly, otherwise don't blame me for cooking your father"
Xiang Yu had an innocent smile on his face, he believed that out of the most simple family affection in the world, Liu Bang would definitely back down.
But he immediately realized that he was wrong, and he was very wrong!
Xiang Yu ignored one point, his opponent was not someone else, but Comrade Liu Bang, the ancestor of scoundrels and hooligans.
Liu Bang and Mrs. Liu are father and son, aren't they father and son with Liu Ying?
At the beginning, when Pengcheng was defeated and chased by Chu soldiers, Liu Bang even kicked his children out of the car several times in order to escape for his life, and he was afraid that you Xiang Yu would cook your father and scare whom!
Boy, play hooligan with me, you're still tender!
So, Liu Bang also tore his throat and shouted, "Xiang Yu, you and I both once served Emperor Yi and were about brothers. In this way, my dad is also your dad. If you really want to cook your daddy, why don't you share a bowl of human meat soup with me?"
I've seen scoundrels, but I've never seen such scoundrels!
Xiang Yu was so angry that he jumped three times, who is a brother with you?
You are twenty-four years older than me, and when my father still thinks you are old, you still have the face to give me a nameless father?
What the hell do you want to be ashamed of!
"I don't want my life, what kind of face do I want! Comrade Xiang Yu, hurry up and cook, we have been fighting a war for several years, there is a shortage of food, and I haven't smelled meat for many years, so you are going to share a cup of broth with me to drink, thank you in advance."
"Huh! Do you think I'm scaring you? Good! I'll cook it for you. Since you want to drink human broth, I'll give you the whole pot."
Xiang Yu jumped like thunder, and immediately prepared to kill Liu Taigong.
At the critical moment, a person jumped out and persuaded Xiang Yu, and this person was Xiang Bo.
Xiang Bo was born to be Liu Bang's protector, in the history of the Chu and Han wars, as long as Xiang Bo appeared, Liu Bang must have had an accident, and every time Xiang Bo came to the rescue, he could always save the day... This time was no exception.
Xiang Bo said to Xiang Yu, "People who have never fought for the world do not care about their families. Now the situation in Chu and Han is unknown, in case we fail, leaving Liu Taigong, maybe we can also use it as a bargaining chip in future negotiations! On the contrary, it is really unwise to make a grudge against someone like Liu Bang to kill his father."
When Xiang Yu heard this, he immediately wilted.
God, what the hell is going on, how did you send me a scoundrel opponent!
Xiang Yu sighed helplessly and let go of Mrs. Liu.
This also shows that he already has the idea of making peace with Liu Bang in order to end the war as soon as possible.
But it's not yet time for my Xiang Yu to soften!
Since the threat is not good, then challenge!
Xiang Yu said to Liu Bang again: "The world has suffered and suffered for the past few years, and it is because the two of us have fought to the death. Now I propose: Let us settle the matter between the two of us by ourselves, so as not to let the people of the world be hurt again. I'll go head-to-head with you, whatever you want. How"
Liu Bang smiled: "Is it really okay to compare anything casually?" All right! Xiang Yu, I accept your challenge. But I solemnly declare: I, Liu Bang, only fight with you, and never fight bravely."
Xiang Yu was about to go crazy.
Fighting wits?
What kind of heads-up is this?
Xiang Yu, who had completely lost his patience, sent strong men in the army, just like Liu Bang had done to Cao Ji not long ago, to go to the Han military camp every day to challenge.
If it doesn't work once, it will be twice, and if it doesn't work twice, it will be three times, until Liu Bang comes out to fight!
In the face of this move, Liu Bang has already thought of a countermeasure.
He found a first-class archer from the Loufu tribe in the army, "Shoot all the people sent by Xiang Yu to challenge me"
Lou Fu's marksman is worthy of his reputation, and his arrows are not in vain, and he has shot and killed many strong men of the Chu army one after another.
Xiang Yu roared angrily, "Lead my black horse"
Xiang Yu, who was held by a halberd and rode on a black horse, came to Guangwu Stream and shouted "The kid on the other side, if you have the courage, shoot me an arrow and try"
Lou Fushen's archer slowly stretched out his bow and arrows, aiming at the man opposite.
He didn't know that the 30-year-old man opposite was the world-famous Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu.
But he saw that the man had heavy pupils and waved the halberd in his hand high.
It seems that as long as he raises his hand to throw a halberd, he can throw himself in the heart!
Lou Fu Marksman looked at Xiang Yu's giant-like movements from afar, two lines of sweat oozed from his forehead, flowing down his face and into his eyes, he suddenly had an illusion that he had been thrown hard by his opponent!
The marksman wiped the salty sweat from his eyes, and suddenly found himself inexplicably beating faster.
He held his breath, his heart still pounding.
Lou Fushen Marksman couldn't help but put down the arrow, trying to calm down and suppress his heartbeat, but his heartbeat was even faster.
This is a psychological reaction that I have never seen in my own career as a shooter!
Intuition tells yourself: this is the heartbeat of death, and death is coming!
It's incredible!
I have always been afraid of death for myself, but today it is my turn to fear death!
The marksman pulled out the long arrow again and aimed it at Xiang Yu!
At this time, Xiang Yu on the opposite side had completely worn out his patience, and he shouted angrily, "The kid opposite, you can show me the arrow!" If you don't let go of the arrows, I will let you never let go of the arrows"
Xiang Yu's angry shout was like thunder in the sky, and the marksman woke up from a dream as if he had been struck by lightning, and he was not Xiang Yu's opponent at all!
Escape from this place of death and never be in such a terrible challenge again!
The Lou Fu marksman trembled and crawled up, and fled into the Han camp like a frightened bird!
Xiang Yu on the opposite side looked up to the sky and smiled, the legendary Lou Annoying Marksman, but that's it!
The news that Lou Fu's marksman had fled in the wilderness was immediately uploaded to Liu Bang's ears.
Liu Bang sent someone to inquire, and the final result made him tremble: the person who shouted the battle was not a strong man of the Chu army, but Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu who was a thousand times more powerful than a strong man!
This is really shocking news, who else can subdue the people who have fled from even the top killers?
It seems that Liu Bang can't hide anymore!
In the whole world, there is only one person who can subdue Xiang Yu, and that is Liu Bang, who had to appear in person to clean up the mess!
