Chapter 66: Chu and Han Struggle for Hegemony III
What's going on
It turned out that Liu Bang basically got Guanzhong
Take advantage of the princes' dissatisfaction with Xiang Yu
Brought everyone together
A coalition of more than half a million was formed
took advantage of Xiang Yu's death in Hetian in Qi State
Took Pengcheng
Liu Bang was happy
He gathered together the princes who had raised an army together
He sat in the position where Xiang Yu sat back then
Brothers
Xiang Yu is nothing more than that
His nest was easily served by us
Everybody's worked hard
Come on, come on
Let's be merry and happy
Wait until you get rested
We'll bring in our troops again
Destroy Xiang Yu in one fell swoop
That's it
Everyone lives in Xiang Yu's palace
Eating the banquet made by Chef Xiang Yu
Enjoying Xiang Yu's song and dance troupe
dreaming of destroying Xiang Yu
To say that Comrade Xiang Yu is really a good comrade
He didn't wait for the Liu Confederate army to find him
Leave some people to continue to attack the Qi State
He brought 30,000 people to meet Liu Bang
Xiang Yu's army was non-stop
Attack from the morning
From Xiao County from west to east
Before Liu Bang opened the noon banquet, he hit Pengcheng
Liu Bang didn't care too much
After all, this time I have a lot of waist and a thick pole
But the two armies fought like this
He realized he was wrong
Liu Bang's more than 500,000 coalition troops were beaten by more than 30,000 Chu troops
More than 100,000 people were killed and wounded
Singles don't suffer immediate losses
Liu Bang led the army and ran
Xiang Yu was also unambiguous
kicked Liu Bang's ass violently
Chased to the vicinity of Suishui
It's another beating of the head and face
More than 100,000 of Liu Bang's army were thrown into the water
Chu Jun was still angry
Trap Liu Bang's army in the middle
There is a momentum that will not stop if Liu Bang is not killed
It should not be killed
A strong wind blew
It was so dark that it was hard to distinguish the four directions
Liu Bang took the opportunity to lead dozens of men and horses to flee for their lives
Liu Bang ran away
Xiang Yu's anger still did not subside
If you run away, the monk can't run to the temple
I sent someone to Pei County
Arrest Liu Bang's father, wife, and children into the army as hostages
Put down Liu Bang's family and don't talk about it
Let's talk about Liu Bang again
Liu Bang fled all the way
Collect the remnants of your defeated army along the way
fled to Xingyang
This time
Xiao He, who heard the news of the lord's defeat, rushed over from Hanzhong
Of course, Xiao He is not alone
He also brought a troop with him
I saw Xiao He leading the army to support
Liu Bang breathed a sigh of relief at this time
A few days later, Han Shin also came
He who came after him
It was the remnants of another Han army that he had collected
Liu Bang will be relieved
It seems that he is saved
soon
The Chu army also came
Fortunately, Han Xin is powerful enough
He led the Han army to defeat the Chu army at Xiaosuo, which had come to pursue them
That's it
Liu Bang regained his footing
There is no danger to life for the time being
But something else bad happened
The princes from all walks of life originally looked at Xiang Yu unpleasantly
I want to rebel with Boss Liu
Now take a look
This Liu Lao Lian can't cover it himself
ay
Although Xiang Yu made himself very unhappy
But after all, the thighs are thick
Simply
and turned the horse's head
They all took refuge in Xiang Yu
The most hateful of them is called Wei Wang Leopard
On the first day, I also drank with Liu Bang
Those who swear to live and die together with life and death
After Liu Bang burst into tears
Wei Wangbao offered to go home
Visiting a sick mother
For such a faithful and filial person
Of course, Liu Bang agreed
I also want him to bring a good one to my aunt
As a result, Wei Wangbao returned to the feudal state
Immediately changed his face
turned around and went to send a letter of goodwill to Xiang Yu
To show good faith
He still sent troops to block the pass
cut off the retreat of the Han army
Liu Bang got angry this time
It's not just that feelings have been deceived
Now my situation is a lot worse all of a sudden
He calmed his mood
Send someone to persuade Wei Wangbao
brothers
Don't be confused
Hurry up and open the gates
Come back to my brother
We're still good buddies
But where will Wei Wang Leopard eat this set
Firm expression
Manly husband
Now that he has taken refuge in Xiang Yu
You can't go back on your word
No way
You can only fight
Liu Bang sealed Han Xin as the left prime minister
Lead the army to attack the Wei Wangbao
Unblocking
Wei Wangbao understands Liu Bang's personality
Knowing that he would not let himself go
Heavy troops have long been sent to blockade the river pass
Wait for the Han army to attack back
Han Shin showed his military genius
Didn't you Wei Wangbao prevent me from breaking through the river pass
Good
So I put the boat near the river pass
Make it look like you're going to break through from Heguan
Then let the main force cross the river from Xiayang
But the limited ships are all suspicious soldiers at Heguan
How to cross the river
This is really hard for Han Xin
He had his soldiers use tubs and barrels as boats
The same as crossing the river
Just when Wei Wangbao was staring nervously at Heguan
Someone came to report
The Han army had already crossed the river
is attacking Anyi, the capital of Wei
Wei Wangbao panicked all of a sudden
How did they cross the river?
At this time, I can't care so much
Hurry up and lead the army to meet Han Xin
The Han army was like a tiger
Break the Wei army in one go
Wei Wang Leopard is a toast and does not eat and eats punishing wine
He was captured alive by the Han army
The land of Wei also belonged to Liu Bang
Liu Bang finally tasted victory
He understood a truth
Let others cling to it
It's better to take them down completely
At this time, Han Xin offered his own strategy
king
Now Chu is strong and Han is weak
We don't have the strength to fight Xiang Yu yet
It's not as good as this
Your Majesty, you lead the army to hold Xingyang
I led the troops to take down the vassal states that were watching and attached to the Chu State one by one
At that time, the whole thing went away and the other went away
Let's take Xiang Yu again in one fell swoop
With prior experience
Liu Bang agreed with Han Xin's proposition
He divided 30,000 troops and handed them over to Han Xin
Let him attack Daiguo Zhao first
Here is a small explanation of the relationship between Daiguo and Zhao
The monarch of Zhao Guoguo is Zhao Wang Xie
Because Chen Yu has a credit to King Zhao
So he was named the acting king
Later, Chen Yu stayed in Zhao to help King Zhao govern the country
Let Xiang Guoxia say that he will govern the country
That's it
Han Xin first led his troops to attack Daiguo
Because the boss is not at home
Plus Han Xin is really powerful enough
Soon Daiguo was taken down
Xiang Guoxia said that he was captured alive
Han Shin incorporated the surrender army of Daiguo
There was no smuggling
handed them over to Liu Bang in Xingyang
Help Liu Bang defend the city well
He continued to attack the state of Zhao
Before Han Shin's attack on Daikook
Liu Bang sent him a right-hand man
This person is Zhang Er, who took Liu Bang as a diner back then
He was once named the prince king by Xiang Yu
Later, he took refuge in Liu Bang
This time, Han Xin attacked Zhao State
Zhang Er is also his assistant
Han Xin and Zhang Er led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses
It is necessary to cross the Taihang Mountain Well Pass and attack the Zhao State
After King Zhao and Acting King Chen Yu heard the news
He led 200,000 horses and horses to wait for the arrival of the Han army at the mouth of the well
Chen Yu has an understanding person under him
His name is Li Zuoche
It is after Li Mu, a famous general of Zhao State
He discussed it with Chen Yu
Acting king
Han Xin crossed the West River to capture the King of Wei
Destroy the country and capture Xia said
Now is the time to get in the driver's seat
Plus there is Zhang Er to help him
I think we should avoid it
It's good to think of something else
Chen Yu listened to him use Han Xin's prestige to extinguish his spirit
I didn't feel very comfortable in the first place
Now he is talking about the destruction of the kingdom
It's even more unpleasant
But the subordinates took the initiative so proactively
It's also not good to refuse outright
Just said perfunctorily
So what do you have a good idea?
Li Zuoche looked at Chen Yu and wanted to hear it
I threw out my own thoughts
Han Shin: They are a long march
It must be carried with a large amount of grain
The terrain at the mouth of this well is narrow
Neither car can pass side by side
The cavalry could only pass in a straight line
For the convenience of the march
Their rations will definitely fall to the back
If you can give me 30,000 cavalry
I went from the trail to cut off the heavy grain and grass of the Han army
You reinforce the walls
Behind closed doors, no fights
That's the case
The Han army had no battle to fight forward
If you go backwards
My troops will cut off their retreat
They have no food to eat
In less than ten days
I'll be able to send you Han Xin and Zhang Er's heads
The more Li Zuoche talked, the more excited he became
At the end, the hands danced
If you listen to me, my lord
This battle will be won
If you don't listen
I guess we're all going to be taken prisoner of Han Shin
This is a staple
was originally a scholar
He has always regarded himself as righteous
I can't get used to those intrigues
In addition, Li Zuoche belittled himself so much
It's even more uncomfortable
You're not right
The Art of War says
If we have ten times more troops than the enemy
It's time to surround it and fight
If you are evenly matched with the enemy
Then you should fight it head-on
Now the Korean signal says tens of thousands of horses
In fact, there are only a few thousand
He has come all the way to attack us
The soldiers were already exhausted
Such opponents
We all have to dodge
Also to play intrigue and trickery
If more enemies come in the future
How do we deal with it?
Li Zuoche was just about to explain
Chen Yu waved his hand
I know there's some truth to what you're saying
But let's not look at what is in front of us
Think about the long term
If only you had done what you said
Even if it wins
The other princes will also think that we are cowardly
It's going to cut us down
You don't say any more
I know what to do
Li Zuoche's strategy was not taken seriously
Depressed, he retreated
Li Zuoche was depressed
Han Shin was pleased
He is worried about how to solve the problem of food and grass safety
I heard that Li Zuoche's suggestion was not heeded
All right
Then I will be relieved to march boldly
That's it
The Han army was stationed thirty miles away from Jingchengkou
