Chapter 69: Chu and Han's Struggle for Hegemony VI

It is said that Han Xin led his new army all the way to the east

to attack the Kingdom of Qi

Just on the march

Han Xin received a message

The king of Han sent the lobbyist Li Shiqi to recruit the king of Qi

The king of Qi also agreed to submit to the king of Han

Han Xin was happy when he heard it

It's still the boss who has a level

No wonder I transferred my Han Jiajun away

Turned out to be waiting here to compensate me

I have these recruits under my command

If it's a hard fight

Not necessarily yet

Han Shin was ready to stop the march

Returned to Zhaodi

At this time

There was a strategist named Kuaitong who gave him an analysis

checkmate

You have attacked the kingdom of Qi by the will of the Lord

Although the lord used lobbyists to persuade the Qi State to surrender

But the lord didn't let you stop attacking

Moreover

Na Lisheng is nothing more than a lobbyist

With a three-inch tongue, he persuaded the Qi State to surrender

General, you commanded tens of thousands of horses before

It took more than a year to completely subdue Zhao Guo

How can you be compared to him?

After Han Xin listened

The heart is mixed

Oh, yes

Although his subordinates are all recruits

But now the state of Qi has decided to submit

It certainly won't be taken seriously

My odds are pretty good

Good

The whole army picks up

Cross the river and attack the state of Qi

Han Xin was right

The king of Naqi had already agreed to submit to the king of Han

So to the new owner

It is that it is not guarded against at all

Han Xin's army easily routed the Qi army

Fight until Linzi, the capital of Qi State

At this time, King Qi was frightened

He never expected that the Han army would come to this hand

Let it be explained by Li Shiqi

None of them could calm his frightened heart

King Qi was ruthless

So he cooked it

After boiling a person

King Qi calmed down a little

But at this time, he was powerless to save the defeat

The king of Qi led his subordinates to flee to Gaomi

Then he asked for help from the state of Chu

It stands to reason

This King of Qi originally surrendered to Liu Bang

The current embarrassment is self-inflicted

Xiang Yu didn't want to care about him

Think about it

Now King Qi is already Liu Bang's enemy

The enemy of the enemy

It should be saved, but it should be saved

Xiang Yu sent the general Long And

Long He led the men and horses to unite with the soldiers of the King of Qi

There were about 200,000 horses

Work together against the Han army

Before the two sides start fighting

There are people who understand and offer advice to the dragon

checkmate

The Han army came with a great victory this time

You can't fight hard

Their weakness is that it is difficult for grain and grass to follow

Our Qichu soldiers are fighting on their own soil

But the Qi army had been repeatedly defeated before

We lose to them in terms of momentum

We might as well dig a ditch and build a city

Stabilize the situation first

Let the people of Qidi who have fallen know

King Qi is still alive

And the Chu army also came to the rescue

So that the people of the land are of one heart with us

It will be difficult for the Han army to get food

Naturally, they will be defeated without a fight

To talk about this strategy

It's a good idea

It's a pity that the dragon is not a good master

He didn't take Han Xin seriously at all

In addition, before leaving, he and Xiang Yu had already boasted about Haikou

said that Han Xin would be solved in a few days

This is a strategy for fighting a protracted war

It definitely can't be used

That's it

The Qi-Chu coalition army led by Long Ji and the army of Han Xin

Set up camp on the east and west sides of Weishui

Get out of the way

Ready to pinch open

The dragon is a little naïve

He wanted to fight Han Xin with a real sword

But Han Xin never liked to play that set

One night

Han Shin summoned the soldiers

Tell everyone

I'll give you guys an easy task

Well done job

You can shed less blood on the battlefield

And you can win battles

Work that can win battles with less bloodshed

This is not a small temptation for soldiers

Everyone obeyed the boss

More than 10,000 bags were made overnight

The bag is filled with sand

Then the upper reaches of the Wei River were blocked

After doing a good job of small actions

Han Xin led a part of his men and horses across the river to attack Longji's department

Long Ji was worried that Han Xin would not dare to fight him face to face

Now the other party has taken the initiative

So what are you waiting for

Immediately lead troops to attack Han Shin

Things were pretty much the same as Long had predicted

Han Shin's army was no match for himself at all

Not much effort

I was beaten by myself

Seeing that Han Xin couldn't support it

He turned around and fled across the river

Long and Na were willing to let go of this opportunity

Personally lead the army and chase it down

He wanted to annihilate Han Xin's troops in one fell swoop

Just when the dragon army crossed the river

Han Shin's army, which had just fled to the other side, stopped

Not only stopped

There are also people waving flags to the upper reaches of the Wei River

The dragon and the army are wondering

The water will come down upstream

It turned out that Han Xin's river blocking team saw the flag

He opened the sandbags that blocked the river

The river upstream was like thousands of dragons rushing towards the dragon's army

But it can be bitter for the subordinates of Long He

Most of them remained in the water and did not come ashore

Almost all of them were carried away by the floods

Those who are about to go ashore with their legs and feet

I didn't pick up much of a bargain

He was rushed and killed by Han Shin's army

There is not much left

Long Ji also lost his head in the chaos

The reserve of the Qichu coalition army on the opposite bank

Seeing the main force die so tragically

I also lost my fighting spirit

They fled for their lives

But Han Xin didn't let them go

Wait for the river to calm down a bit

He ordered the Han army to cross the river in pursuit

The Qi-Chu coalition army is a dead surrender

The King of Qi fled again

But not long after

He was also killed

Following Zhao Di

Qi land was also owned by the Han army

Han Shin has once again made meritorious contributions

It's really a meritorious service again and again

Not to mention that the plank road was darkened with Ji Ming back then

Captured Guanzhong

Let's just say that after Liu Bang's princes' coalition army was disabled by Xiang Yu

He first destroyed the Wei State

and then subdued Zhao Guo

and forced Yan to surrender

Now the state of Qi has been pacified

Anyway

Han Xin felt that he had a merit to the King of Han

In light of this

Han Xin sent someone to send a letter to Liu Bang

The gist is as follows

Lord

The State of Qi is a sinister, cunning, and capricious country

The geographical location is very special

and your rival Chu State is adjacent to the north and south

Now I finally got the Qi country in my hands

We must consolidate this base area

I want the country of Qi to truly become the base of the lord

Someone should be sent to rule here

I think so

With all these years of experience in the war in the North

It is most suitable to be an acting Qi King

Please ask for your approval

The letter was quickly put in front of Liu Bang's eyes

Liu Bang couldn't help but be furious

Not only that, but because Han Xin wants to be the king of Qi

More so because of his own embarrassing situation

So why is Liu Bang in a predicament?

Let's also start with the army he took away with Han Shin before

Liu Bang took Han Xin's army from Zhao

Suddenly, I felt that my waist stiffened

The two arms also gained strength

He led the army to Xiuwu

The order was given to the whole army to have a full meal

I want to fight Xiang Yu in a decisive battle

Fortunately, there are people who understand

Lord

With our current strength, we are not Xiang Yu's opponent

It is still necessary to build a high city to stabilize the position

Then send people to the Chu State to stir and stir

After taking the Qi State

Combined with the strength of all the Han army

It's good to fight with Xiang Yu

Liu Bang has this advantage

Although easily impulsive

But it's easy to calm down, too

He accepted this rationalization

Liu Bang stabilized his position

and Xiang Yu stalemate

Then he sent soldiers and horses into Chu

Assist Peng Yue in attacking Xiang Yu's rear

For a time, it also occupied a lot of cities

This Peng Yue is also very good at fighting

He does not have a head-on conflict with Xiang Yu

Always harassing Chu Jun from time to time

also saw the opportunity to rob Xiang Yu's grain and grass once

It made Xiang Yu very uncomfortable

In order to take down Liu Bang

Xiang Yu endured Peng Yue's harassment again and again

Can last

Still didn't hold back

He instructed the general Cao

You keep Cheng Gao for me

I'll go and clean up Peng Yue first

Remember

It only takes fifteen days

I will come back victorious

Cheng Gao must not throw it away for me

Even if the Han army provokes

Leave them alone

outcome

Xiang Yu just walked on his front foot

Liu Bang arrived on the back foot

The Han army challenged the Chu army, which had no Xiang Yu

This Cao is also very obedient to the words of the leader

Let your Han army provoke as much as you want

I just can't stick to it

See how you can do it

Unexpectedly, Liu Bang played rogue tricks again

He sent people to the front of the battle every day to scold the Chu army angrily

The families of the generals of the Chu army who he can know

All the swear words that could be used were brought out

I scolded like this for five or six days

Cao is unbearable

Although the leader's explanation is important

But the dignity of my Great Chu Army is equally important

And he led his army out of the city

I want to fight Liu Bang to the death

Cao's Chu army was to cross the river and fight a decisive battle with the Han army

At this time, the Han army calmed down

Calmly watched the Chu army cross the river

Wait for half of the soldiers of the Chu army to cross the river

When half of the soldiers were still in the river

Liu Bang ordered

Give me an attack

Now it's a problem

The shape of the Chu army has not yet been set

was killed by the Han army

Soon suffered defeat

Chenggao was taken by the Han army

Cao Ji was also ashamed and angry

Killed himself

At this time

Xiang Yu bargained a lot in the battle with Peng Yue

defeated Peng Yue again and again

But Peng Yue is very cunning

A slight loss

Turn around and run

Xiang Yu couldn't make it out

Xiang Yu soon learned the news of Cao's defeat

He hurriedly led his troops back to settle accounts with Liu Bang

Liu Bang is also honest

I heard that Xiang Yu was back

Hurry up and collect the troops

Withdraw the troops to a dangerous point

Find a way to deal with Xiang Yu

That's when it happened

Liu Bang received a letter from Han asking for the king of Qi

Liu Bang is so angry

Good you ungrateful, bastard

You've only been eating hard food for a few days

Began to negotiate terms with me

Lao Tzu is now being bullied by Xiang Yu blocking the door

You don't say to help

also took the opportunity to ask for a reward for himself

The more Liu Bang thought about it, the more angry he became

I was about to open my mouth to scold

I felt that the left and right feet were stepped on separately

Liu Bang looked up

It turned out that Zhang Liang and Chen Ping were stepping on themselves at the same time
