Chapter 68: Chu and Han Struggle for Hegemony V
Before
Liu Bang allocated an army to Han Xin to attack Zhao
Lead the rest of the army yourself
In Xingyang and Xiang Yu died
It was not bad at first
Han Xin played smoothly all the way
The Han army stationed in Xingyang was also constantly encouraged
Defend the city
Xiang Yu also had no way to take the Han army
But later Xiang Yu learned badly
He shifted the direction of operations
Siege is no longer the main business
He aimed at the grain routes of the Han army
The grain and grass reserves in this Xingyang City are insufficient
The Han army dug tunnels under the moat
Smuggling grain and grass into the city through tunnels
This feather was marked with the idea of the grain road
Several times sent troops to attack the Han army's grain and grass convoys
It made the Han army in Xingyang City unable to open the pot
Han Shin is playing well outside
That far water can't quench the thirst of the near
After all, food for thought cannot replace rice
Forced to be helpless
Liu Bang had no choice but to send someone to ask Xiang Yu for peace
I hope that the overlord of Chu will be merciful
Give the old brother a chance to be a new person
Xiang Yu was originally a little excited
After all, Liu Bang is a hard bone
I want to bite it
It also takes a bit of effort
But Fan Zeng stopped Xiang Yu in time
O king
What kind of person is Liu Bang?
It has always been two-sided and three-edged
The villain who says one thing and does another
He escaped by chance at the Hongmen Banquet that year
After that, he slipped out of Hanzhong
Capture your Pengcheng base camp
Now he came to make peace
It shows that he really can't hold on
You've put a lot of effort into him anyway
Just push harder
Take your time
Let them disappear completely
lest he be stabbed in the back by Liu Bang in the future
Xiang Yu thought for a moment
That's right
Tell Liu Bang's messenger
You go back and tell Liu Bang
Don't dream of peace
Wash your neck
Wait for me to get his head
This time Liu Bang panicked
I knew it was like this
Just stay in Hanzhong
Why suffer this sin
I knew it was like this
There is no need to divide the troops to Han Xin
If only Han Xin and the elite soldiers were here
Maybe you can break through
Chen Ping saw Liu Bang's panic
Lord
Don't be so anxious
Listen to what the messenger said
That Xiang Yu should have agreed to the peace talks
The bad thing is bad for Fan Zeng here
You give me some time
Give me some more money
Let me get rid of Fan Zeng for you
A few days later
Xiang Yu's envoy paid a return visit to Liu Bang
By the way, I want to see Liu Bang's reality and reality
It's time for dinner
Liu Bang called for someone to bring food
Xiang Yu's envoy took a look
The food is still good
Rolling up his arms and sleeves, he was just about to eat
Liu Bang came over
Your Excellency is the messenger of King Xiang
Or the messenger of the father Fan Zeng
The messenger was stunned
I am King Xiang's messenger
oh
I'm sorry about that
Give the messenger a meal
The servants hurriedly removed the messenger's food
Kung Fu for a while
Serve it again
The messenger looked
The gap between before and after is too big
In this meal
Not only is there not a single meat in the dish
Even the rice is obviously a shoddy and inferior big pot of rice
Because it's someone else's territory
Didn't dare to say anything
I finished my meal and left
The angry envoy of the Chu army went back
Tell Xiang Yu about the situation
Xiang Yu was immediately not calm
I said
I've been giving feedback a lot lately
It's a bit abnormal to say that Fan Zeng
seems to be making small moves with Liu Bang
Last time Liu Bang asked for and
Fan Zeng disagreed
Is this a trick he and Liu Bang played together?
I don't see what they're trying to do, though
But Liu Bang and Fan Zeng are not idle people
In case they unite
But it's hard to deal with
Since that day
Xiang Yu didn't respect Fan Zeng as much as before
also has a little temper with Fan Zeng from time to time
At this time, Fan Zeng also heard a little wind
said that Liu Bang and himself were a little unclear
and then compared Xiang Yu's attitude towards himself
Fan Zeng was angry
Resigned
Xiang Yu got off the donkey
approved Fan Zeng's resignation
Fan Zengqi coaxed to Pengcheng
As a result, he fell ill and died halfway through
Xiang Yu drove Fan Zeng away
But for Liu Bang
His pressure didn't lessen at all
Because Xiang Yu, as always, disagreed with his sug
cut off his food as always
No, I can't
And so on
I couldn't afford to entertain Xiang Yu's envoy with food
I can't be trapped here
Chen Ping
You're going to have to give me another way
One evening a few days later
Chu Jun was surprised to find
The east gate of Xingyang City opened
Followed by
Something even more surprising to Chu Jun happened
A group of Han troops went out of the city
And it's a women's army
They wore the armor of the Han army
Holding a weapon
One by one, they walked gracefully out of the city
Chu Jun was willing to let go of this opportunity
They approached the women's Han army
Surround them
At this time
In the middle of two teams of female soldiers
Liu Bang's car slowly came out
Just as the sun sets
On the top of the car is clearly Liu Bang himself
The Chu army was boiling
This is clearly Liu Bang surrendered out of the city
soon
Xiang Yu, who heard the sound, came to Liu Bang's car
He saw a familiar face
Han Army General Ji Xin
oh
Where is Liu Bang?
Ji Xin smiled gloomily
My father-in-law is gone
Catch me if you want to
It turned out that when the Chu army was watching at the east gate
Liu Bang led several followers
It has slipped away from the west gate
This time
Xiang Yu discovered
Unconsciously
The gates of Xingyang City were closed again
In the heat of the moment
Xiang Yu killed Ji Xin
Divide the troops to chase Liu Bang
The other centaurs continued to besiege Xingyang City
Put down the angry Xiang Yu and don't say anything
Let's talk about Liu Bang who escaped
He ran back to the Guanzhong base in one go
Think about your brother still defending Xingyang
I can't bear it
Just tidy up the army
I'm going to ask Xiang Yu for an explanation
At this time, someone gave Liu Bang a message
Lord
You are in a stalemate with Xiang Yu in Xingyang
It's been a few years too
And you saw the results, too
We've always been very passive
Liu Bangyi frowned
I know that, too
However, Xingyang was the second base of the Han army
I can't help it
The man who spoke laughed
Lord
save
It must be saved
But there is a way to do it
Our Purpose
It is to reduce the pressure on Xingyang
You can go south
That Xiang Yu will definitely be moved by the wind
Follow you south
Xingyang's pressure was naturally resolved
Liu Bang nodded
reasonable
But even to the south
We don't necessarily can't do Xiang Yu
The speaker laughed again
Lord
How can you be so realistic?
Once you get to the south
You can build a city high
Stick to Xiang Yu
Of course
Perseverance is not an end
Han Xin has now taken down the state of Zhao
You can send him to appease Zhao Guo
and then took the Yan State and Qi State
At that time, we were both struggling
Nature can save Xingyang
Defeat Xiang Yu
Liu Bang acted according to the plan
That lost Fan Zeng's Xiang Yu
Sure enough, he obediently put down Xingyang
I came to the south to find Liu Bang
But Liu Bang played the scoundrel again
and withheld in the city
Just when Xiang Yu was embarrassed
Peng Yue lit a fire for him in the rear
Here is a brief introduction to Peng Yue
Peng Yue was also a good man who rebelled against the Qin Dynasty back then
It's a pity that he wasn't put in Xiang Yu's eyes
When the princes and kings were divided
did not give Peng Yue a name
When Tian Rong established himself as the king of Qi
recruited Peng Yue to join the gang
It caused a lot of trouble to Xiang Yu's Chu army
Later, Liu Bang came out of Guanzhong
The princes and kings responded
Peng Yue also took refuge with Liu Bang at that time
We've been together ever since
Now Liu Bang is hiding from Xiang Yu in the south
Peng Yue led the army in the rear
Xiang Yu came for a while
Xiang Yu was struggling with whether to accompany Liu Bang to the end
It's good now
Something happened at home
justifiably returned to the army to find Peng Yue to settle accounts
Liu Bang is a master who dares to open a dyeing workshop if he gives three points of color
saw that Xiang Yu had withdrawn
and no longer defend the city
took advantage of the chaos of the Chu army
He went north and took a military stronghold
Cheng Gao
What I didn't expect was
Xiang Yu's majesty is still the same
It didn't take long for Peng Yue to run away
Look back
Liu Bang actually slipped under his nose
It's worth it
He returned to attack the Han army
Xiang Yu played more calmly this time
He first took Xingyang by the way
and then won Chenggao
Liu Bang is still lucky
Fled
Because it's not the first time I've run away
Liu Bang is more experienced
This time, he only brought Xiahou Ying alone
After the two brothers fled from the north gate of Chenggao
All the way to the north, we crossed the Yellow River
It's hard to think about it and go back to Guanzhong
Just go to Han Xin and open his ears
Arrived at Han Shin's camp
The sky was still bright
Liu Bang did not directly reveal his identity
He said that he was the messenger of the King of Han
Entered the camp of the Chinese army
After entering the camp
Liu Bang did not directly look for Han Xin
He first summoned Han Shin's soldiers
Take the army under your control
Only then did he send someone to invite Han Xin to come over and listen to the order
thereupon
Just before it appeared
A scene where Han Xin and Zhang Er suddenly received an order from the King of Han
Liu Bang is also not polite
It was announced immediately
I will take away your soldiers and horses
Go and fight with Xiang Yu
You two did a good job before
Now that Zhao has taken it
Just recruit troops on the spot in Zhao State
Wait until it's ready
Just give me to attack the kingdom of Qi
Then Liu Bang led the troops away
Han Xin is a little angry
I finally brought out a team that could win the battle
was taken away by Liu Bang
It can be nested and fired
I had to re-recruit troops
Train new teams
After some time
It is estimated that the recruits have a certain combat effectiveness
Zhang Er stayed in Zhao to consolidate the fruits of victory
Han Xin led his troops to attack the state of Qi
