The Chu army occupied Xingyang, and Liu Bang had to retreat to the west of Tongguan; If Liu Bang really retreated into Tongguan, it would be equivalent to giving up the entire Kwantung region to the Chu army. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The Chu army only needed to go north to conquer [Chenggao] and occupy the largest granary in the world, and the east could cut off Han Xin's material supply; The west can trap the main force of the entire Han army in Guanzhong, and then slowly clean up Han Xin's lone army. As long as this situation is maintained for more than three months, the world will be essentially controlled by Xiang Yu, and the Han army will completely lose the last chance to fight for the world.

Unfortunately, Xiang Yu really didn't say a word, only rested in Xingyang for a week, and quickly sent troops to attack [Chenggao], and this city was not suitable for defense at all, and it didn't cost much, Liu Bang had to abandon the city and flee again, and fled directly back to Guanzhong, giving up the largest granary in the world to Xiang Yu.

Liu Bang retreated into the pass, sent the generals Zhou Bo and [Fan Xu] to defend the Tongguan, and then convened emergency military meetings in succession, hoping to find an opportunity to turn the tables. Helpless, Zhang Liang couldn't think of a way, Chen Ping couldn't think of a way, and everyone was at a loss.

Dominating the world and the great cause of the emperor, these are getting farther and farther away from Liu Bang, Xiang Yu has become a giant mountain that cannot be crossed, and it is pressed on Liu Bang's chest! It is useless to pray, and it is useless to worship God! The morale of the Han army, which was finally mustered, fell to the bottom again with the continuous loss of Xingyang and [Chenggao]. Fortunately, not many people fled or surrendered this time, and everyone was waiting, waiting for the opportunity to turn out a favorable situation again.

When the entire Han kingdom was in despair, a miracle occurred.

The miracle was brought by a strategist named [Yuan Sheng], [Yuan Sheng] is a very strange person, there are basically no specific deeds of him in the history books, and there is no way to verify his life, education, cases and family history, etc., but he only used one sentence, which decisively changed the overall situation of the entire Chu and Han hegemony.

He is as magical as Fan Zeng, but the actual combat effect is more powerful and legendary than Fan Zeng, because the opponent Liu Bang wants to fight back is the almost invincible and invincible God of War Xiang Yu!

On a dark and windy night, the strategist [Yuan Sheng] begged to see Liu Bang, the king of Han, and said that he wanted to offer a plan.

After the guards reported, Liu Bang was overjoyed, and immediately respectfully invited [Yuan Sheng] into the big tent. [Yuan Sheng] has been under his tent for a while, this guy usually doesn't like to talk, and everyone doesn't pay attention to him, Xiahou Ying even thinks that he may be a spy, and he often spies on him if he has nothing to do. But Liu Bang doesn't care about these, as long as someone is willing to give him ideas, even if he is scolded as a turtle bastard, he can only be a dead horse and a live horse doctor, and he must listen to everyone's opinions, otherwise the current situation is difficult to turn around.

The two guests sat down, and [Yuan Sheng] said straight to the point: "The King of Han returned to Guanzhong this time, and strategic points such as Xingyang and [Chenggao] were lost, and if they couldn't find countermeasures as soon as possible, General Han Xin's troops would become a lone army." When the Chu army outflanks and solves the general, even if we are trapped in Guanzhong, the overall situation of the world will be decided! If we want to turn the tables around, we basically have no chance......"

Liu Bang was also not polite, nodded and said: "Mr. doesn't need to go around the bend, if you have any clever plans, just say it directly!" I'm so anxious that my beard is almost white! ”

[Yuan Sheng] saw that Liu Bang was unpretentious, nodded and said: "King Han is really a happy person." Then I'll get straight to the point! I heard that you are reorganizing your troops and horses, preparing to go out of Tongguan again, and fight King Xiang in the first line of [Chenggao] and Xingyang, this idea is absolutely impossible. So I am anxious to come to see you, just hoping that you can see the big picture and abandon this hasty decision. ”

Liu Bang sighed and said, "Sir! Isn't that clear to me? My 300,000-strong army was trapped in Xingyang for half a year, but it was still embarrassed and defeated, and then sent a large army to attack Xingyang, and the result can be imagined. But I can't give up this area, and if I give up, as you said, the great general Han Shin will definitely not be protected, and the situation in the Kanto region will no longer have a chance for us! ”

[Yuan Sheng] actually smiled slightly, with a strange look in his eyes, and said coldly: "The Art of War - avoid the real and attack the false, and take it by surprise!" We can't be led by Xiang Yu's nose, but should lead him by the nose. Everyone is focusing on Xingyang and [Cheng Gao], but in fact, they have fallen into Xiang Yu's trap, and we must open up a third battlefield! ”

"The third battlefield? Stun! Liu Bang was greatly surprised by [Yuan Sheng]'s thoughts, but he didn't expect this seemingly ordinary person to be able to jump out of the game to discover the truth.
