Chapter 156: Redeeming People and Cutting Land

Lantian Pass.

Temporary garrison of the Han army.

Although Liu Bang's Chinese army has retreated here for more than ten days, the long-awaited Han army is becoming less and less day by day, and there are still two or three defeated troops coming at the beginning.

The Qin army's tactics of killing began to take effect, and the besieged Han army could not find any way out except to desperately rely on the strong city walls for useless resistance.

Laying down their arms and surrendering is the inevitable choice they face.

The longer it dragged on, the more unfavorable it would be for the Han army.

Han Xin's youth army in the east of Guanzhong, the northeast of the area with a sweep to occupy a number of cities in succession, the Han army guarding here scattered troops in front of Han Xin, who was determined to take revenge, there was no ability to fight back, at the same time, Zhang Han after occupying Xianyang, began to advance towards Liyang, Linxia area, Lu Ze's troops were caught by the second Qin army, the situation was already very dangerous.

"Li Yuan, you are a trustworthy and unrighteous bastard, a coward, a bastard, a dog thief-!" Liu Bang jumped like thunder, a series of shouts and curses kept coming out of his mouth, and the spittle stars splashed on Zhang Liang, Xiao He and others.

When it comes to shamelessness, Liu Bang has always considered himself the first, and no one can be in front of him. But I didn't want to, when I ran into Li Yuan's nemesis, Li Yuan's conditions seemed to be as long as a few barren small cities located in the west of Hanzhong County, but in fact, it was to shake Liu Bang's foundation in Hanzhong and Bashu counties.

From Chencang Road to Fu County, through Yangping Pass into the hinterland of Shu County, the Qin army can completely follow the road of Sima Coo's attack on Shu, and extend its tentacles from Guanzhong to Shu County and Ba County in one fell swoop, so as to connect a traffic artery across the Qinling Mountains, so that the Han army may lose the rear of Bashu at any time.

In addition to asking for land, Li Yuan is also very shameless about asking for people. Lu Jia didn't come back, with Liu Bang's shrewdness, after a little guess, he understood that Li Yuan took a fancy to Lu Jia's talent and had the idea of winning talent.

Liu Bang was unkempt, and he scolded whenever he wanted, so that he gave people a straightforward and gentle image of the elder Dundun, which made a group of Kanto heroes rush to take refuge, but today, they had to understand the other side of Liu Bang's character.

"Pei Gong, it turns out that there are times when you lose your temper." In the Han army, some of the newly defected generals were making comparisons in their hearts.

"King Han and calm his anger, it is imperative that we think of a comprehensive strategy to see if it is important to save people, or something else-!" Cao Shen's face was grim, and he bowed his body and admonished.

A general who does not care about the lives of his generals and soldiers will not be supported by his generals. As the commander of the Han army, Cao Shen is now under great pressure, many Han troops are trapped, only half of them have fled back to Lantian Pass, and the life and death of important generals like Lu Ze and Ding Fu will directly affect the morale of the officers and men of the Han army.

"If you want to save it, you will lead the troops to save it yourself, what else can you do except eat? Even a little Li Yuan can't beat it! Liu Bang was angry, Cao Shen's advice just gave him an outlet to vent, and when Liu Bang finished losing his temper, Cao Shen, who was in the center of the saliva jet, was already pale, pursed his lips, and clenched his fists.

"King Han, the last general will lead his troops to attack Leyouyuan, and take his leave!" Cao Shen said in a muffled voice, and in a hurry, a mouthful of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

"Pingyang Hou, don't be rash, King Han is just in a hurry and mistaken, and he can't be serious!" Zhang Liang and Xiao He saw that Cao Shen was depressed in his chest, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him.

In the Han army tent, there was chaos immediately, Liu Bangfang was angry and sent a burst of evil fire at Cao Shen, and then the fire was also extinguished, knowing that this time the defeat had little to do with Cao Shen's ability.

"Ah Sen, you must not leave your old brother and go first!" Liu Bang hugged Cao Shen, his eyes were red for a while, and a few tears fell.

"Pei Gong, it's the incompetence of his subordinates—!" Cao Shenqiang opened his eyes and said with a few movements in his mouth.

"Don't say it, don't say it, if the Li thief wants land, he will give him the land, as long as the brothers are here, one day, we will enter the gate again, capture the Li thief alive, and when the time comes, we will come to avenge today's humiliation." Liu Bang stood up angrily and said loudly to the generals, at this moment, his appearance is so sympathetic and pitiful, Li Yuan, who bullied such a gentle elder, instantly turned into a heinous villain in the hearts of all Han generals.

Acting is Liu Bang's forte.

Relying on a series of wonderful dramas, Liu Bang successfully reversed his unfavorable image of repeated defeats in the minds of his subordinates, and his current image is a hero who has been defeated and fought to the end.

The Qin and Han countries engaged in arduous negotiations on how to end the war, which lasted for more than two months, and Liu Bang and Li Yuan invariably delegated power to two advisers, Zhang Liang and Chen Ping, in terms of details.

Three heroes of the early Han Dynasty.

Two of them, in this time and space, have become the chief thinkers of the opposing camp, and the battle of wits and courage between them and guessing each other is another wonderful drama.

――。

End of February.

The war in the land of Guanzhong has gradually subsided, and on both sides of the Weishui, except for Liyang, which is still in the hands of the Han general Lu Ze, the remnants of the Han army in the rest of the place have been wiped out by the Qin army.

Under the successive battles, the Qin army captured more than ten Han generals such as Zhou Cao, Ding Fu, and Zhu Juan, and captured more than 10,000 people.

In front of Lantian Pass.

The Qin and Han armies confronted each other, and after Chen Ping and Zhang Liang's repeated verbal arguments, the peace talks finally took a big step in the direction of ending the war.

The Han State agreed to cede the western part of Hanzhong County to the Qin State, and at the same time, after the Han army completed the handover of prisoners, the whole army retreated to the southern foot of the Qin Mountains, so that Liu Bang's troops no longer retained a single soldier in the Guanzhong. Correspondingly, the Qin state wanted to return the Han soldiers captured in this battle to the Han army, and for the sake of fairness, the Han army was required to pay a certain amount of ransom money, the specific amount of which was not indicated on the treaty by both parties, and was implemented as a private clause.

For Liu Bang, who cherishes his reputation, paying a ransom to a junior like Li Yuan is a very faceless thing. The ransom is not indicated, it is an additional clause that he strongly demands, and even in order not to make it public, Liu Bang is willing to pay more ransom money.

Liu Bang's request, Li Yuan readily agreed, benefits are always more useful than false fame, the large-scale construction of Guanzhong needs more money and food, can get more benefits from Liu Bang, Li Yuan naturally can't ask for it.

Note: I don't look like I'm about to be squeezed off the list, this, if you have a vote, vote for it, and collect, a little bit. Thank!
