Yan Shidao is right, now it is not a question of whether Liu Bang is willing or not, but he no longer has the capital to refuse Han Xin. There were only two paths in front of him, either stick to it and wait for death, or follow Han Xin's advice to lead the troops east.

Liu Bang is a smart person, smart people generally don't do anything stupid, in fact, he cherishes his life more than anyone else. He doesn't mind a short-term frustration, nor is he afraid of a momentary failure, as long as there is still a breath in him, Liu Sanye can make a comeback.

If Xiang Yu is replaced, he will definitely fight to the end if he is forced by Han Xin to this kind of role at this moment, even if he draws his sword and kills himself in the end. But Liu Bang is different, the so-called dignity and backbone are just farts to him, he only cares about the result, even if he is defeated ninety-nine times, as long as he wins the hundredth time, then he wins.

In fact, Han Xin and Xiang Yu made a common mistake, they both underestimated Liu Bang's tenacity and tenacity. If such a person is against you, he will definitely haunt you like a bone gangrene, and unless you completely defeat him, he will definitely rise again.

However, Han Xin had no other way at this time, he didn't want to send troops to interfere in the Great War in Kwantung, he wanted to watch from the wall and win more time for the Qin State. But the development of events has exceeded his expectations, originally he thought that although Xiang Yu was a hero, after all, two fists were invincible to four hands, and although his Zhong Liwei, Yu Ziqi and others were good generals, they were not handsome, but they were a little immature.

Xiang Yu's main army was trapped in Qidi, which was not surprising to him. Qi was originally the leading power in the eastern part of the country, the first hegemon in the Spring and Autumn Period was the Duke of Qi Huan, in the early Warring States period, the powerful Wei State was beaten all over the ground to find teeth is also the Sun Bin of the Qi State, and then with the rise of the Qin State, the country is declining but is still the first power in the Kwantung region, in the middle of the Warring States Period, King Min of Qi and King Zhaoxiang of Qin are even called the two emperors of the East and the West, echoing each other from afar, although they were soon forced to cancel the emperor's name, but the strength of the Qi State can still be seen.

Qi people are empty, and the mentality is a great mentality, and the Chu country is fertile for thousands of miles, often with a million, the two countries have fought for hegemony for more than 400 years, Qi is strong, Chu is weak, Qi is weak, Chu is strong, and they have long been feuded. Xiang Yu divided the Qi State into three small countries with bad intentions when he divided the world, and also privately swallowed the Xue County and Dong County of Qi, which had already greatly stabbed the arrogant self-esteem of the Qi people, so the boss Tian Rong raised his arms and shouted, and the four million Qi people responded one after another, starting a vigorous 'history of anti-Chu War of Resistance'.

Tian Rongzhi is also a talent, he has dominated Qidi for many years, and his prestige is extremely high. After raising the army, he quickly pacified Qi before Xiang Yu reacted, and deposed his nephew Tian Shi, and established himself as the king of Qi, with his younger brother Tian Heng as the prime minister. After Xiang Yu's 200,000 troops entered Qidi, he avoided its edge, but refused to defend the city and never went to battle. There are hundreds of cities in the Qi country, large and small, and if Xiang Yu attacks them one by one, I am afraid that he will be exhausted, so although Xiang Yu's Chu army has won victories in Qi, it is difficult to pacify the Qi country for a while.

Just when Xiang Yu's main army was deep in Qidi, the Zhao and Wei coalition forces took the opportunity to storm the Central Plains, and fought Sima Wei, the king of Yin, and Shenyang, the king of Henan, who had taken refuge in the Chu State, until Ji Bu led 80,000 Chu troops to rescue the Central Plains.

Ji Bu is a trustworthy and brave person, extremely strategic, heavy and quite a general, and is Xiang Yu's most relied on confidant and favorite general, and entrusts him with the rear of Chu State every time he goes on an expedition. However, although Ji Bu is ranked high, his reputation is far inferior to that of Zhong Liwei's generals, nothing else, because he has been stationed in the rear all the year round and has no chance to go to the front. Over time, people in the world only know the courage of Yingbu and Zhongli under Xiang Yu's account, but they don't know how powerful Ji Bu is.

As soon as Ji Bu entered the battlefield, he showed an impressive talent as a general, and he keenly discovered the weak junction between the Zhao and Wei armies. First, he paralyzed the Wei and Zhao coalition forces behind closed doors for several days without a fight, and then suddenly made a fierce force @ inserted into the combination of the two armies, winning all seven battles, and breaking the Wei and Zhao coalition forces under the city of Luoyang, reversing the decline of the Chu State in the Central Plains in one fell swoop. Immediately waved his troops westward and confronted the Wei and Zhao coalition forces under the city of Daliang.

The defeat of the anti-Chu coalition in Kwantung also made Han Xin worried, and he was very worried that Xiang Yu would be able to pacify Kwantung soon, which would not be good news for Qin. At this time, it is obviously inappropriate to send troops rashly, you must know that there is an incomparably powerful Xiongnu in the north of Qin State.

Therefore, Han Xin came up with the method of 'leading the water to the east', letting Liu Bang go to the Central Plains to make things difficult for Xiang Yu, and adding a big boost to the precarious anti-Chu coalition army, which may be a good decision.

And Liu Bang's idea is even simpler, instead of waiting for death in Nanzheng City, it is better to go to the Central Plains to try his luck, maybe his turning point will start at this time.

On the same day, Yanshi Dao and Peng Yue were released from Nanzheng, and then the Qin army withdrew the defense line of Dongcheng as agreed, and the whole army retreated thirty miles. Liu Bang led his army east out of Nanzheng and galloped all the way east, while the Qin army did not follow the pursuit as agreed.

When Han Xin saw Peng Yue again, he stepped forward to untie him, patted Peng Yue's shoulder and smiled; "I didn't expect us to meet again so soon, how about this time, are you willing to follow me."

Peng Yue's face turned blue and white for a while, and he hesitated and struggled for a long time in his heart, and finally gritted his teeth and said hatefully; "That guy Liu Bang has the grace of knowing me, and I, Peng Yue, have been conscientiously sacrificing my life for him. Now that he's going to kill me, it's no wonder I'm going to do it. ”

After speaking, he bowed to the end, and said for a long time; "The last general is willing to serve the general, and I hope that the lord will take him in."

Han Xin laughed, and a look of trium flashed in his eyes. "That's good, I've been waiting for a long time."

If you talk about calculating others, I am afraid that no one in this world is Han Xin's opponent. Digging holes everywhere, stumbling everywhere, waiting for you to jump inside, and finally being sold and willingly helping to count the money, this is Han Xin's style. Of course, Peng Yue will not be the first person, and naturally he will not be the last.

Since Hanzhong has been opened, the next step is naturally to contact Bashu, and before waiting for the messenger sent to return, Bai Pang, the imperial historian who runs Shu, and the general Huangfu Gui, returned to Hanzhong in disgrace, accompanied by 5,000 disarmed Qin soldiers and more than 30,000 Qin people.

It turned out that the news that the Qin army went south to recover Hanzhong reached Shu, and the powerful leaders of Bashu, who were worried about being involved in the turmoil in the world, could no longer sit still. On that day, Bai Pang and Huangfu Gui were defeated and retreated from Hanzhong, and the Bashu heroes wanted to use them as a barrier against Liu Bang's invasion, so they allowed them to occupy the three counties north of Chengdu.

But now the situation is different, the Qin State has recovered its strength and is attacking Hanzhong, if Hanzhong is recovered, then the next step must be the two counties of Bashu. So the heads of the tribes and the local heroes made an appointment to rebuild and rebuild the Shu Kingdom, and jointly elected Pang Yi, the Wang clan of Shu, as the king of Shu, and sent troops north to attack Chengdu.

Most of the people in Chengdu were Shu people, and more than half of the garrison under Huangfu Gui's tent were locals. When the army of Shu quietly killed under the city, the city immediately mutinied and opened the city that night to welcome the Shu army into the city, and Bai Pang and Huangfu Gui were tied up in a daze.

However, Pang Yi did not do the thing perfectly, he gathered the Qin officials and tens of thousands of Qin people in Bashu together, and then gave them out of Jiameng Pass. This is obviously sending a signal to the Qin state: he has no intention of being an enemy of the Qin state, and the establishment of the state is only to protect himself.

The terrain in the northern part of Shu is dangerous, and there are natural dangers such as Jiameng Pass and Sword Pavilion to rely on, Han Xin thought about it carefully, and could only reluctantly temporarily put down the idea of attacking Shu, and only waited for the future to be properly prepared before taking Bashu.

Hanzhong was under the river, and Bashu was temporarily hopeless, so the main army of the Qin army returned to Guanzhong after a few days, leaving only a small number of garrisons to cooperate with the Qin officials to rebuild the county of Hanzhong.

When the army returned to Guanzhong, the news of the great victory of the northern army came on the way.

After Wang Jing went north to capture the siege of Shangjun for half a month, he finally captured Fushi City in one fell swoop after the siege equipment arrived. Sima Xin and Dong Peng in the city saw that they were invincible, so they took advantage of the chaos to lead thousands of light enemies to flee from the north gate to the Xiongnu, and the Qin army chased to the Great Wall for fear of angering the Xiongnu, so they did not continue the pursuit but returned to Xianyang.

Wang Jing didn't know that he could easily win Shangjun with a lot of luck. At this time, the Xiongnu and Yueshi were fighting with their lives on the northern grasslands, and Mao Dun had no time to look south after receiving a letter of help from Sima Xin and Dong Peng, which gave the Qin army the opportunity to calmly capture Shangjun. Otherwise, according to Mao Dun's temperament, even if he was unable to move south for a while, he would definitely send tens of thousands of elite horsemen south to drag out the Qin army.

After the news of the Xiongnu's setback in Hedong reached the grassland, the Yueshi couldn't bear it and immediately waved his troops eastward, wanting to take advantage of the Xiongnu's emptiness to capture Longcheng in one fell swoop. Mao Dun quickly led the main army back to Longcheng from the south, and at the same time ordered the two departments of the Aries King and the Lou Fu King of Hetao to rush north to help, and finally rushed to the city before the Yueshi captured the Dragon City.

After a fierce battle, the Yue's army was defeated, and Mao Dun took advantage of the victory to wave his army to the west to chase more than 800 miles, go deep into the territory of the Yue's family, and capture the Yue's royal city, while the remnants of the Yue's fled westward away from the Xiongnu. In order to achieve the effect of deterring the enemy, Mao Dun cruelly made the head of the king of the Yue clan into a wine vessel, and carried it around to show off.

After the Yue clan was expelled, the Xiongnu were no longer invincible on the grassland, and Mao Dun no longer had to worry about someone behind him at this time, but concentrated on preparing to attack the Qin State to repay the hatred in his heart. It's just that after a big battle with the Yue Clan, the loss of men, horses and sheep is extremely heavy, and for the time being, the army is unable to invade the south, so it has to lie dormant and wait for the spring of the next year to gather momentum to go south.

Shangjun was closer to Xianyang, so Wang Jing's triumphant army returned to the division earlier. Ziying was overjoyed after getting the victory, and dragged the sick body out of the city to greet the hundreds of officials, and even rewarded Wang Jing heavily, Wang Jing was worshiped as a general, and imitated the Zhou system to increase the title of Sima, and was able to sit on an equal footing with Han Xin.

In contrast, the return of the Southern Expeditionary Army was deliberately much more low-key, not to mention the personal welcome of the King of Qin, and even a decent minister was not sent, but was only sent to Fengchang in Jiuqing according to the general specifications.

Ziying and Meng Jian's deliberate cold treatment did not extinguish the enthusiasm of the Qin people, and a large number of Xianyang residents and garrisons spontaneously went out of the city to meet the triumphant return of the southern expeditionary army, and the entire gallop was densely sweating like rain. Han Xin is no longer just a name, he has become the face of victory in the hearts of the Qin people, no matter how difficult and incredible the task is, when others are helpless, Han Xin can always do it unexpectedly.

It was because of him that the Qin State was relieved from the border of destruction, and now it has finally unified Guanxi and restored the territory of the Qin State to the period of King Zhaoxiang. With the arrival of victories one after another, the self-confidence in the hearts of the Qin people returned, and the word 'Qin army' once again became synonymous with invincibility.

At this moment, Ziying was sleeping heavily on the bed, but was awakened from his dream by a noisy sound, and he couldn't help but be angry when he was interrupted from sleep, and opened his mouth to roar; "Someone, someone!"

A eunuch ran in in a panic and said; "The villain is here, what does Your Majesty command?"

Ziying licked her dry lips and asked impatiently; "Han Tan, what's going on outside, why is it so noisy."

"Your Majesty, you don't know yet!" Han Tan said; "It's not that the general has returned victorious, the city is now rejoicing, and the stupid soldiers in the palace can't help but run out to meet the general. You see, this is really damned, it actually disturbed Your Majesty's sleep, and the old slave is going to teach those rabbit cubs a lesson. ”

"No need." Ziying waved her hand impatiently and asked again; "What about General Wang, won't he restrain his subordinates?" The palace guards were taken over by Wang Qi, so Ziying asked this question.

"The old slave didn't see General Wang show up."

"This cunning old fellow." Ziying scolded secretly, he was naturally clear about Wang Qi's psychology of pretending to be deaf and dumb, he made it clear that no one should be offended, and he just wanted to play left and right in the middle.

can be scolded and scolded, but Ziying is also helpless about Wang Qi's ambiguous attitude. Now there are too few generals he can use, and in the half a year that he has been asleep, the entire Qin army has almost become Han Xin's private army, and the generals only recognize Han Xin, the general, but not himself, the nominal King of Qin. If he wants to make a move against Han Xin in terms of military power, he must use these generals born in the Qin family in the army, and the Wang family is undoubtedly the first choice.

Ziying sighed slightly in her heart, thinking that this King of Qin was really tasteless, and he exhausted his mind for intrigue. But let him sit back and watch the 700-year-old foundation of the Ying family fall into the hands of his surname, and he will never be able to do it, so he has to cheer up and barely cope.

After sitting on the bed for a while, he felt a knot in his chest, so he asked Han Tan to help himself out to breathe.

The air outside the hall was indeed much fresher than in the room, and Ziying took a few breaths, only to feel much more comfortable. Gently shook Han Tan's hand, walked up a few steps carefully, leaning on the stone pillar and looking at the scenery.

The wind gently caressed his face, but it was refreshing, and Ziying couldn't help but show a little smile on his face, as if the depression in his heart had eased a lot. Han Tan was worried at first that Ziying's body could not blow the wind for a long time, but he just wanted to say a reminder but saw him closing his eyes and smiling, with a very happy expression on his face. After hesitating for a while, he couldn't bear to salvage the comfort of the baby, but carefully put on a cloak for the baby from behind.

Ziying closed her eyes for a long time, slowly opened her eyes, listened intently for a while, and suddenly asked; "Listen, is there a sound in the wind?"

Han Tan listened for a while and then smiled; "This is the sound of cheers in Xianyang City, thinking that His Majesty's people are happy that the army has won the battle on the front line."

Wangyi Palace is on the west side of the Xianyang Palace Group, not far from the Xianyang neighborhood, so he faintly heard the earth-shattering cheers on the street.

Ziying's face suddenly changed, "Listen again, what are they shouting?" ”

Han Tan listened carefully again, and his face changed greatly, and he said in a hesitant manner; "The old slave is very old, and his ear is not very good, so he can't really hear it."

Ziying looked at Han Tan and sneered; "Okay, you dog, do you even dare to bully the king, you obviously heard it, say it quickly!"

Han Tan was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt on the ground, his body couldn't help but tremble slightly, "Your Majesty forgives me, the old slave just faintly listened to him, and they seemed to shout again......"

"Long live again!"

Ziying didn't hear it very clearly, and she was still a little uncertain in her heart, and now she still has doubts. His face suddenly turned pale, and his eyes were wide open and his fists were clenched.

Banzai!

Banzai!!!

Is this a title that a courtier should encroach upon? Only oneself, the high Son of Heaven is worthy of this title,

What does he want to do? Han Xin, what does he want to do?

Han Tan saw that Ziying's face was frightened, and hurriedly persuaded him; "Your Majesty, don't be angry, I think the people shouting Banzai must be saying that we are the Qin army, not the general."

This explanation is reasonable, but Ziying under the anger can no longer listen, and at this moment his heart is full of hatred, and there is a deep fear.

Ziying stood there silent for a long time, but suddenly began to ask Han Tan; "Is tomorrow the day of the sacrifice?"

Han Tan was stunned for a moment, then nodded; "Back to Your Majesty, tomorrow is indeed the sacrificial ceremony for my Daqin to worship the first king, but Your Majesty, your health is not safe, and you have not attended the sacrifice and prayer in the past half a year, so the old slave has made an initiative to cancel tomorrow's sacrifice."

Ziying was furious, waiting viciously for Han Tan and roared; "Okay, you dog minion, even you bullied the widow, didn't you? If you dare to make decisions for the widow without authorization, the widow will punish you for your sin and cure you for the sin of great disrespect. ”

Ziying has a gentle temperament since he was a child, and he treats his subordinates with good words, where has Han Tan seen him make such a big fire, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt on the ground, and desperately kowtowed and begged for mercy; "Your Majesty spares your life, Your Majesty spares your life, the old slave is just worried about Your Majesty's body, so he has the audacity to make the decision without authorization, and I hope Your Majesty will spare your life."

The anger in Ziying's heart gradually subsided, and he didn't target Han Tan, but he was extremely depressed in his heart, so he took advantage of the topic. When I thought of Han Tan having been by my side since I was a child, and I had always been loyal, I couldn't help but soften my heart, and said lightly; "Okay, you get up, the widow is just in a bad mood, don't take it to heart."

Han Tan hurriedly got up, and he didn't even dare to say in his mouth.

Ziying groaned again and spoke slowly; "Tomorrow's sacrifice will not change, and the widow needs to go to the kings of the throne and pray to them for blessings."

PS: Jiang Nan has taken the time to revise some of the previous clerical errors in the past few days, and has slightly modified the setting according to the development of the plot, Han Xin's uncle in the first chapter is no longer written as a Taoist, and Mingyue in the eleventh chapter has been replaced by a child of the Mo family. This comparison is an online novel.,A lot of the initial settings will be a little out of touch with the development of the plot.,I'm sorry, I'm sorry.,So it's been slightly modified.。 Then Jiang Nan made a big mistake, that is, he forgot that Chapter 134 mentioned the 'three-year covenant', I thought it was written, but today I looked at it and found that it was missing, so I added a paragraph.

Usually the code word is a little rushed, some of the places that are not rigorous and meticulous are embarrassed, welcome to point out.
