In the next few days, Liu Bang seemed to be a different person. In order to show his determination to die with the city, he moved out of the palace and set his resting place on the city walls. Every day, he seemed to be tirelessly patrolling the city defense and military affairs, loudly boosting morale everywhere he went, and promising the soldiers this future one by one.

Liu Bang's extraordinary excitement also infected all the people around him, and the officials and generals in the city were also affected by it, sweeping away the decadent image of the past, and also stubbornly resisting the siege of the Qin army. But Han Xin obviously didn't give Liu Bang much of a chance, and he could order an attack on the same day.

After capturing most of the Qi land, the Qin Military Commission made a fortune. On that day, in order to resist the Qin army, Liu Bang hoarded a large amount of military funds and grain and grass in various cities, but he did not expect to cheapen Han Xin in vain. In order to gather these military resources, Liu Bang offended the entire Qi country, but he would never have expected that he would end up in a wedding dress, and Han Xin would naturally not be polite and confiscate all these people's fat and people's ointment.

For the Han army, the most laughable thing is that Liu Bang built a large number of siege equipment in Qidi in order to save enough capital to compete for the world.

Han Xin was naturally not polite, and moved all these ready-made siege equipment to the city of Linzi, and every day thunderbolts and trebuchets of all sizes kept throwing stone bullets day and night, and a large number of wells and arrow towers were pushed to the city, and the condescending archers on them poured arrows on the city walls.

Compared with the attack on Boyang, Han Xin seemed to have a lot more at hand. Thanks to Liu Bang's "gift", the arrows in the Qin army were piled up, and Han Xin had been struggling to manage the war for several years, and this time he finally experienced what it means to be "wealthy". On the other hand, the Han army complained again and again, and even walked on the city to carefully carry a door panel.

Han Xinzhi was not in a hurry to attack the city, but ordered the army to pour stone bullets and arrows into the city day and night. Now Linzi has become an isolated city, and it is the last stronghold that Liu Bang relies on to survive. If he pressed closely, it might arouse the hearts of the defenders in the city to defend the same enemy, so that even if he could capture Linzi in the end, he would inevitably suffer heavy casualties, which was not the result Han Xin wanted.

Therefore, the Qin army only attacked every day but did not kick the city to fight, it was nothing more than to psychologically destroy the resistance and fighting spirit of the Han army, and the effect was obvious. In just three days, most of the Han troops at the head of the city were afraid, and whenever they saw the stone bombs thrown by the Qin army, they scattered in a hurry, and fled with their heads in their hands. Fortunately, Linzi is the world's male city after all, the city wall has been extremely strong after more than ten generations of Qi king's repair, although the stone bullet weighs more than 100 catties, but it can only destroy some stomping walls and parapets, the main body of the city wall is not damaged.

Liu Bang was not afraid at all, and personally braved the stone bullet to go to the city to boost morale. He is like a gambler who has lost a red eye, although he is exhausted, he still grits his teeth and refuses to admit defeat, if there is no accident, this is the last battle in his legendary life. All he has to do is maintain his dignity, the dignity of a king!

I'm afraid that the only one who can understand him is Xiao He, so Xiao He chose to silently support him behind his back and accompany him through this last glory.

On the fifth day, after five days of indiscriminate bombardment, a city wall in Linzi finally collapsed without support. The Qin army, which had already been waiting outside the city, immediately beat the drum and launched an attack as if looking at the bloody wolves. Liu Bang personally rushed to the city with the daring people, desperately trying to plug the gap. The two armies desperately resisted each other without giving in, and on this short city wall of more than 100 zhang, the corpses of the Qin army and the Han army were densely covered with layer after layer, so that the Han army did not need to pour stones, but only needed to cover the corpses with soil to plug the gaps in the city wall.

The two armies fought fiercely for a whole day, from dawn to sunset, and the Qin army finally gave up the gap and let the Han army plug it. At night, the Qin army suddenly launched a surprise attack, wanting to take advantage of the exhaustion of the Han army to suddenly capture the city, it happened that Liu Bang passed by here, and in a hurry he took his guards into battle, and the Qin army that quietly touched the head of the city became one. The sound of the fighting also woke up the sleeping defenders, who panicked and picked up their weapons and rushed to support.

Since the deeds have been revealed, there is naturally no way to talk about the sneak attack, so Han Xin, who was waiting outside the city, decisively issued an order to withdraw the army, so that the Qin warriors at the head of the city retreated, so as not to increase casualties.

The Qin army has besieged the city for ten days, during which they have continuously launched fierce attacks, but Liu Bang is also tenacious, just desperately resisting, and has no intention of giving up surrender. This made Han Xin a little surprised, originally he thought that according to Liu Bang's slippery character, most of them would be greedy for life and afraid of death, and he wanted to force him to surrender in Kaicheng, and then take advantage of the situation to make him a Marquis of Anle. Unexpectedly, this Liu Bang was so hard-boned, and put on a posture of a dead fish. This gave him a headache.

Liu Bang's life was also not easy, as the Qin army besieged the city for a long time, the already low morale was even more frustrated, and every time there was a battle, he personally led the team to the battle, and intimidated him with military law, which made the Han soldiers muster up the courage to come forward to fight.

On this day, the Qin army launched another tentative attack, and it was only in the presence of Liu Bang that the Han army repelled the Qin army's offensive. When the battle was over, Liu Bang dragged his tired body back from the city wall and hurried to the venue that was about to be summoned.

This is a routine imperial meeting, and the qualified participants are all core dignitaries who have won Liu Bang's trust, civil officials include Xiao He Chen and others, and military generals include Zhou Ke and more than ten people, and Lu Pheasant also sat aside. When Liu Bang arrived, Xiao He and the others had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw Liu Bang coming, they all stood up.

Liu Bang waved his hand and said in a somewhat hoarse voice; "Sit down, don't be formal."

Everyone took their seats, and Liu Bang took the seats. Looking around, he said, "Say, there's something to report." ”

There was silence for a while, but no one spoke, Liu Bang glanced at Xiao He and them a few times, and couldn't help but scold with some annoyance; "Damn, you're all dumb, aren't you, if you have something to say, let it go!"

"The minister has something to do." A not high-pitched shout sounded from the back row, Liu Bang looked at it, but it was Li Shiqi, who had not appeared for a long time, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

"What did the gentleman teach me?" Liu Bang was like grabbing a life-saving straw and hurriedly asked for help. He naturally will not forget who deceived him into opening the gate of Nanyang City when he frequently ran into walls under Nanyang City, and who deceived him to open the gate of Guanzhong.

After Liu Bang became the queen, Li Shiqi's lobbyist talent was not very important, far less than Xiao He's talent and the generals' generals, and slowly withdrew from the center of power. Liu Bang treated him well, named him the Marquis of Dangyang, and allowed him to enter and leave the court freely.

Li Shiqi is not good at governing the country, nor is he proficient in the art of intrigue and trickery. He said that he was just a sharp mouth, and it was reasonable to be snubbed by Liu Bang, so he gradually faded out of his career. But this time, he regained hope that he could rely on his mouth to turn the situation around for Liu Bang again.

So he couldn't help but stand up excitedly and said loudly in front of everyone's puzzled eyes.

"The old minister is willing to go to Qin Ying for the king to seek peace."

Liu Bang was stunned, then became furious, pointed at his nose and scolded; "Okay, you old thing who is greedy for life and afraid of death, do you want to persuade me to surrender to the Qin army. It's good for you to take my Han country's Yulu, but you help the Qin people do things. ”

"Do you really think that if you have merit, no one will dare to kill you?"

Li Shiqi is not afraid, and still holds his head high; "Your Majesty, you misunderstood, what the minister said was not to ask for surrender, but to negotiate peace, which has no impact on the national system."

Liu Bang scolded: "What's the difference, do you think Han Xin is an idiot, now that he has the upper hand, all he has to do is to capture Linzi in one go, how can you accept our conditions?" ”

Li Shiqi bowed and said confidently; "This may not be, the king might as well let the ministers go to the Qin camp, even if it doesn't work, it will not damage the country, what do you think?"

Liu Bang hesitated, turned his head to look at Xiao He, and asked him for advice. Xiao He's face was flat, and he was silent in the face of Liu Bang's gaze and nodded; "The king, the minister also thinks that what Dr. Li said has some truth."

"Now we have fallen into a desperate situation, there are no reinforcements outside, and there are troubles inside, and as for the people in the city, I think most of you have heard of it." Speaking of this, Xiao He's face couldn't help but darken, and he continued after a long time: "If there are no accidents, we can only hold out for more than half a month at most, and even if the city does not fall at that time, our soldiers will no longer work for us." ”

"So what Li Shiqi said has some truth, you might as well let him try his luck in Qinying."

The smile on Liu Bang's face slowly disappeared, and he said in a deep voice; "Lao Xiao, then what conditions do you think we should promise Han Xin?"

Xiao He pondered for a while and said; "Paying tribute, paying tribute, and cutting the land, these can all be endured, but you can't lose your army."

Liu Bangchang sighed and said, "Okay, as long as Han Xin is willing to let me go, I am willing to be a vassal to him, willing to give up the four counties of Qidi, and willing to be his flying eagle lackey and bite Xiang Yu for him." ”

"My lord, I also want to go with Mr. Li." Lu Pheasant, who had never spoken, suddenly opened his mouth and said.

Liu Bang looked at her puzzled and said; "This trip is very dangerous, what are you doing there as a woman?"

Lu Pheasant stood up and said slightly; "Han Xin is the most important friendship, and you also know the king, I had a relationship with him when he was a teenager, and he is also an old acquaintance. If I go, he will inevitably think of some old feelings, and it will be easier to talk about the conditions in this way. As for my safe husband, you don't have to worry, that Han Xin has a reputation for fame, and he has never heard of anything unbearable about him, let alone a woman's family. ”

Liu Bang hesitated, and seeing Lu Pheasant's resolute attitude, he had no choice but to nod and say; "Alright then, be careful all the way."

PS: I watched "Hongmen Banquet" today, and I have to sigh that it is really a blockbuster with a nonsense plot and good acting skills, it seems that it is a joke for Hong Kong people to make historical films, but the momentum is good. Huang Qiusheng's Fan Zeng is a highlight, I think the sadness and resentment in his heart that he was suspicious of Xiang Yu in the end is really in place. Zhang Liang is okay, but he feels more like a conspirator. Compared with Liu Bang and Xiang Yu of the idol faction, it hurts, this Liming plays Liu Bang very well, Feng Shaofeng plays where Xiang Yu is, how can there be such a thin Xiang Yu, there is no king at all. As for An Zhijie's role as Han Xin, it is a bit interesting, and the domineering side leaks a little, but it is more of the spirit of the rivers and lakes, and there is no strategy and handsomeness at all. Sister Yu Ji is also good, Liu Baozi is still very good at pretending to be pure, and I remembered Zhao Ling'er back then. You might as well take a look at it with the mentality of watching idol martial arts dramas~
