The defeat was like a mountain.

The Qin cavalry swept back and forth along the Weishui River, and the Han army, which was dominated by infantry, could only hold the camp and did not dare to fight; Subsequently, Li Yuan concentrated on attacking the Han army with superior forces and intercepting the Han army that could be reinforced with cavalry.

In fact, Li Yuan's routine is not unusual. According to the analysis of the art of war, it is actually four words, to bully more and less. It's clear that I have a lot of people, a lot of soldiers, and few people who bully you.

If the Han army dared to go out of the camp to fight, Li Yuan, who had a great advantage in troops, morale, and weapons, would not be able to ask for it; And if the Han army can't hold out, then Li Yuan will concentrate and mobilize more troops to eat away at the stubborn resistance of the Han army step by step, and once the Han army comes to reinforce, the Qin army can rely on the advantage of rapid cavalry maneuver to surround the reinforced enemy in the wilderness, and then annihilate it in one fell swoop.

On February 6, the Han general Worm Da who camped on the south bank of Weishui was unlucky to be surrounded by Li Yuan's army, Worm Da turned around in Wugong Mountain for more than ten days, the officers and men in the army were dragged to the point of being sleepy and tired, and it has not been relieved until now, after being surrounded by the Qin army, Worm Da was desperate, led his troops to break through by night, and the whole army was annihilated.

On February 7, the news of the defeat of the insect was transmitted to all parts of the Han army like a plague, and for a time, the Han army, which was afraid of being divided and surrounded by the Qin army, invariably began a great rout.

The counterattack of the Qin army was too fierce, and not long ago, the Han army, which was still immersed in the joy of victory, was defeated and retreated.

Lantian Pass.

In a panic and busyness, the plank road that used to transport grain and weapons from the south to the north took on the opposite task this time, and the wounded soldiers of the Han army retreated from the battlefields in various places, and they needed to return to Hanzhong through this only road that was still in the control of the Han army.

Liu Bang was at a loss.

Even Zhang Liang, who has always been resourceful, has no idea this time, resourcefulness is based on a certain foundation, and the situation of the Han army is now defeated, even if the gods come, there is no way.

Han army station.

Liu Bang is also urgently convening the generals who can gather in one place, compared with a few months ago, the situation of several generals under his command and the high morale of everyone, the current situation can only be described as miserable.

"King Han, Liyang was surrounded, and the Marquis of Qu Zhou was trapped in the city and failed to break through?" Zhongjuan Zhou Bo, who was in charge of collecting the battle situation, looked haggard and said to Liu Bang and the generals of the Han army who were looking at each other.

"Send a few capable scouts to deliver the letter, and let Qu Zhouhou retreat to the Kanto!" Liu Bang was stunned for a while before he began to command.

Qu Zhouhou is Lu Ze's title.

After Liu Bang's eldest brother came to Guanzhong, he took the position of Liyang Ling, which is located on the north bank of Weishui, more than 300 miles away from Lantian Pass, where Liu Bang is located, Liu Bang just wants to rescue, and now there is no way.

The distance between Liyang and Hangu Pass is actually not close, let Lu Ze break through to the east, this is just Liu Bang's statement to cover people's eyes, the generals in the tent are silent, everyone knows that Lu Ze is more auspicious than lucky.

"Everybody talks, what now?" Liu Bang's old face was cold and abnormal, under the continuous blows, Liu Bang had not collapsed, which had to be admired, he did have a big heart that had been defeated and fought repeatedly, which may be the reason why he was able to defeat Xiang Yu in the end.

It is also an ability to withstand setbacks.

"King Han, let's fight, kill one to earn, kill two can earn one more." Guan Bao said hatefully, but his confidence was somewhat insufficient.

As a pioneer general, he took the lead in escaping faster than others, and now he jumped out to fight to the death, how awkward it sounded.

"King Han, you can't fight anymore, let's make peace with Li Yuan!" In the silence, Zuihou or Zhang Liang hesitated for a long time, and Zuihou finally couldn't help but say, as soon as this proposal was spoken, Zhang Liang immediately became the focus of everyone.

Peace talks, as soon as this idea came out, everyone's eyes lit up, indeed, in addition to peace talks, the Han army has no more choices now? Could it be true that as Guan Ying said, fight to the death with Qin Jun? Besides, there are many places that can be occupied in Kyushu in the world, and Guanzhong is just a small part of them.

"Who can do this?" Liu Bang snorted with a stupid expression, and after seeing the situation clearly, he finally bowed his head and surrendered. It's not a big deal, though. Even if there is a fight in the township, if you lose this time, you will turn over the next time, as long as you still have the capital, you are not afraid that you will not be able to turn over.

When Liu Bang asked this, everyone looked at each other and did not answer, the poor envoy of the peace talks was not easy to accept, especially in this case, it was undoubtedly a thankless thing to negotiate with Qin Jun.

"King Han, this idea is a good idea, and it is also a good responsibility to go to the peace talks!" Zhang Liang stood up again, the idea is yours, and the drudgery is for others to do. At this time, if he didn't say anything, it would arouse the resentment of many Han army generals and officials.

"No, you can't go to the ovary." Liu Bang shook his head resolutely and rejected Zhang Liang's proposal. If it's still there, then everything will be easy.

Zhang Liang is the most relied on strategist now, and most of his advice depends on Zhang Liang's planning, if Zhang Liang goes to the peace talks and is killed like Li Shiqi, then Liu Bang will not suffer a heavy loss.

"King Han, Huainan Lusheng is willing to take this position." In the stalemate, in Liu Bang's staff group, one person finally came out and shouted loudly.

Liu Bang looked at it with a burst of surprise on his face, and said, "Lu Jia, are you willing to go to Qinying for peace talks, can you take it seriously?" ”

"King Yuhan, Lu has some friendship with Chen Ping, the long history under Li Yuan, Chen Ping cherishes money and loves money, if he can bribe this person with a lot of money, then peace talks can be successful." Lu Jia smiled and replied.

Lu Jia is a native of Chu, born with a white face, but at the age of about twenty-six or seven, among Liu Bang's staff and guests, the eloquence of him and Li Shiqi is the best, and with his qualifications, he can only be subservient to Li Shiqi, but this time Li Shiqi's death made Lu Jia see the hope of becoming the first debater under Liu Bang.

"Chen Ping's saying that he stole gold is just a rumor, not necessarily true, Mr. Lu is going, you can test it first, if Chen Ping refuses to help, then don't force it." Liu Bang nodded and instructed.

The departure of the generals and strategists one by one made Liu Bang feel a little sad and stunned, and the loss of a good food has already made Liu Bang's heart ache.

"Thank you King Han for your concern, Lu is gone!" Lu Jia thanked him, took a few followers, and carried the heavy money sent by Xiao He, and strode out of the camp.
