When Xiang Yu heard this, this made too much sense, and he had to disband these rabble as soon as possible, otherwise the pressure would be too great. The www.biquge.info then immediately ordered the princes: "All the feudal princes shall immediately lead their troops and horses back to their fiefdoms, and give ten days for those who are far away, and four days for those who are near, and do not harass the people along the way." Liu Bang, the king of Hanzhong, stayed in [Bashang] to accompany the overlord and continue to discuss the world's major affairs. ”

Chen Ping's suggestion was actually deliberately made after discussing with Zhang Liang, and both of them felt that Liu Bang's life was in danger at any time if he stayed by Xiang Yu's side, especially Fan Zeng would come back soon. originally wanted to take advantage of the princes' return to the fiefdom, so that Liu Bang could lead the army to escape smoothly; But unexpectedly, Xiang Yu came to a special order, only to ask Liu Bang, the king of Hanzhong, to accompany him in [Bashang]!

If you can't do it, you can regenerate it.

Chen Ping went back to Zhang Liang and said, "Since King Xiang doesn't want Liu Bang to return to the fiefdom, don't mention this matter directly." We want to play a double reed, you let the king of Hanzhong write a book, just say that the world is peaceful, the king of Hanzhong misses his wife and children at home, and wants to return to his hometown to welcome his relatives. At this time, let's knock it from the side again and give him a plan to [sound the east and hit the west], and Lao Xiang will be fooled. ”

So, the next day, Liu Bang wrote to Xiang Yu according to the plan, asking for leave to return to Peixian Province, saying that he had been fighting all the year round, had been away from his hometown for a long time, and missed his family very much. Xiang Yu knew which play Liu Bang was playing, but he didn't approve it, so he said that he would think about it and let Liu Bang go back. At this time, Zhang Liang said beside him: "King Xiang, don't let Liu Bang go back to Pei County, there is his base, his people and horses are all from Pei County, if he doesn't get it, he will be the king in the [Dang County] area, and then it will be troublesome." Since he misses his relatives, we can't let him see him, so we sent someone to take his family over as a hostage, and then immediately sent him back to the Hanzhong fiefdom, and with the hostages in his hands, we are not afraid that Liu Bang will be disobedient. ”

When Xiang Yu heard this, he felt reasonable; After all, it was embarrassing to keep Liu Bangqiang by his side.

At this time, Chen Ping came over again and said: "King Xiang, since you have named Liu Bang as the king of Hanzhong, and you have already issued an edict to the world, now that the other princes have returned to the fiefdom, if we force Liu Bang to stay, I am afraid that the people of the world will criticize us." It is better to use Zhang Liang's words and take Liu Bang's family as hostages, so that Liu Bang can be restrained and our credit can be preserved, which is the best of both worlds! ”

Xiang Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately arranged for someone to do the same, and went to Pei County to pick up Liu Bang's wife, children, father, etc. The inauguration procedures for Liu Bang were handled here, and Liu Bang was approved to return to the fiefdom from now on to become the king of Hanzhong.

Liu Bang was able to escape from Xiang Yu's clutches, he was very happy, every day he stayed by Xiang Yu's side, Liu Bang would be terrified for a day, he was afraid that his secret would be discovered by Xiang Yu, and he was even more afraid that the moody Xiang Yu would suddenly attack himself.

After Liu Bang completed the formalities, he immediately set off from the village, quickly crossed the Qinling Mountains, and marched towards the Hanshang area.

Along the way, Liu Bang adopted the strategy left by Zhang Liang and burned all the plank roads he passed; In the mountains, all the bridges they passed through were destroyed. This point, the history books said, is to show that Liu Bang has no intention of returning to the east, so that Xiang Yu can rest assured that he will stay in the land of Bashu and be the king of Hanzhong. In fact, the real intention was that Liu Bang was afraid that Xiang Yu would regret it, and that the soldiers would not be willing to follow him to endure hardships, so he secretly fled back to Guanzhong and the east. Burning the plank road can kill three birds with one stone, which can not only show determination, but also cut off the pursuers, and can also cut off the escape path of the soldiers.

However, since Liu Bang led the army into Shu, the flight of soldiers has become the norm, and basically groups of soldiers desert every day. At first, Liu Bang's military regulations were very strict, and he would be punished with heavy punishment if he caught a deserter; But gradually, the generals often fled in groups, and everyone felt that there was no future for staying in the ravines with Liu Bang. Liu Bang simply turned a blind eye, but Liu Bang himself felt very secure, after all, he was the king of the mountain from the beginning; Although he is still in the ravine, he is the real king of Hanzhong, not the king of the mountain!

Liu Bang tasted the gall in Hanzhong, he was not Goujian, Liu Bang didn't really taste bear bile, he secretly took out the [Heirloom Jade Seal] every day in the dead of night to play with it, and this [Heirloom Jade Seal] kept stimulating Liu Bang to try to make a comeback. However, Zhang Liang was detained by Xiang Yu's side, and he suffered from no one to discuss the military plan, so he had to wait for the opportunity to recuperate and train the army.

Liu Bang attacked Xianyang this time, Hongmen was frightened, [Bashang] was sealed, and went west to Hanzhong, although the whole process seemed to be extremely passive, the harvest was still great.

In Liu Bang's view, the biggest gain is obviously surviving.
