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
