Liu Bang lost the support of the people in Guanzhong because of his momentary negligence.

Although he then summoned the county fathers and elders to "three chapters of the law": death for the murderer, punishment for the wounded, and punishment for theft. But it still can't dispel the suspicions of the people in Guanzhong.

In history, Liu Bang's rule over Guanzhong was not unbreakable, in 205 BC, in the Chu and Han wars, Guanzhong was hungry, rice and thousands of money, cannibalism. The result was the supply of grain for Liu Bang's army of 500,000, and under the heavy burden of military rations, the people of Guanzhong were miserable and returned to Qin to stand on their own feet.

Liu Bangjun's rush into the city made the high-spirited overlord Xiang Yu furious, after breaking the main force of Zhang Han's Qin army, Xiang Yu's Chu army was invincible all the way, no one was invincible, in his opinion, Xianyang was what he had in his pocket, who dared to reach out first?

Xiayi.

After several days of marching, Xiang Yu's 400,000-strong army finally passed through Hangu Pass, and along the way, the slow movement of Qin's soldiers made Xiang Yu repeatedly angry.

At this time, Sima Cao, under Liu Bang's command, told Xiang Yu that Liu Bang had an intention to become the king. At the same time, Cao Wuxian also pointed out an important witness to Xiang Yu.

Sima Xin, the second-in-command second only to Zhang Han in the Qin army, was actually Liu Bang's intermediary in the Qin army, in other words, Sima Xin was for Liu Bang, and after the fall of the Qin State, Sima Xin became Liu Bang's intermediary in the dark beside Xiang Yu.

The reason for the sluggishness of the Xiang army was the rumor that Xiang Yu was going to slaughter the Qin people in Guanzhong in order to avenge the previous Qin army's revenge for breaking Chu and killing his father, which made the soldiers all worried and unwilling to move forward. And the initiator of this rumor, according to Cao Wuxian, is Sima Xin.

Sima Xin, the true identity of the former Qin State's Liyang Ling, is an unsolvable mystery in the historical records, he intersected with Cao Shen, Zhou Bo and others under Liu Bang, and at the same time, he was the second in command of Zhang Han, across the Qin and anti-Qin Shili, but he was able to play with ease, which is really rare.

When Xiang Yu heard this secret report, he was immediately furious, and the fierce-tempered overlord immediately asked his subordinates to summon Sima Xin, and after some confrontation, Sima Xin bowed his head and confessed.

At this point, the friendship between Xiang Yu and Liu Bang that once fought side by side burst like a bubble, and in the battle for the highest power altar, whether it is a friend or a comrade-in-arms, they will become enemies.

As scheduled, the splendid "Hongmen Banquet" was still staged, but after Fan Xu, how should Liu Bang resist Xiang Zhuang's attack.

――。

Liu Bang and Xiang Yu were intriguing, and Li Yuan had no time to take care of it.

Li Yuanjun, who had just settled in Yongcheng, was facing an expected and unexpected battle, and Liu Bang's general Qi Gill led 5,000 soldiers to attack Chen Cang.

Chen Cang.

That is, Baoji in later generations, the geographical location of this important town is very important, it is the key point connecting Bashu and Longxi, and it is also the key node of Li Yuanjun's garrison in Yongqi.

Qi Gill is a general of the Qin State, and he has been stationed in the area of Chencang, and he is very familiar with the topography here.

Before sending troops, Qi Gill sent people to contact the nomadic Qiang tribes who were nomadic and cultivating in the Jiangshui and Jishui areas, and the two sides agreed to cooperate with the outside to drive Li Yuanjun, who had not yet gained a firm foothold, out of Yongqi in one fell swoop.

Late April.

The Qiang Jiang tribe launched a rebellion in the Jiangshui area southeast of Chencang, Li Yuan sent Jiang Yu to lead an army to suppress the rebellion, but before it was quelled, the Qiang Ji tribe made a rebellion in Jishui, and Luo Jia led another army to go out.

Just when Li Yuan was tired of coping, Qi Gill soldiers sent Chen Cang, surrounded Li Yuan's army general Wang Shang in the city, the two sides fought fiercely for several days, Wang Shang's soldiers were less than 1,000 people, and the field battle was unfavorable, so he could only shrink in the city, waiting for Li Yuan to come to help from Yongcheng.

On 2 May, Li Yuan learned of the critical news of Chencang, and urgently led 3,000 elite soldiers who had just been reorganized to Chencang day and night.

Subsequently, Li Yuan led the army to enter the city of Chencang, and Wang Shang exchanged horns and confronted Liu Bangjun, and the battle of Chencang, which lasted more than 20 days, kicked off.

Li Yuan barracks, the sky is getting dark.

Wu Shu Han Si straightened up, staring at a blank space in front of him without squinting, his expression dazed and at a loss. As a new soldier who had just enlisted in the army, being able to be selected to Li Yuan's pro-military camp, Han Si felt a little unbelievable.

From Daliang, to Xingyang, to Luoyang, Xianyang, and Yongcheng, Han Si almost followed in the footsteps of Li Yuanjun to Yongqi, and after several days of consideration, he decided to put down his carpentry work and join Li Yuanjun's team. Becoming a glorious warrior is Han Si's most simple idea.

"Who? Password. Seeing someone approaching from a distance, Han Si shouted. According to those veterans, General Li invented it to prevent enemy scouts and intermittent tactics from infiltrating, and this method was very popular with the soldiers in the pro-military camp.

The password is the only information that passes through the Chinese army, and there is nothing else.

Even if you are a high-ranking general in the army, you can only wait outside the Chinese military camp if you can't give orders.

"Feng Ming-!" Hearing Han Si's question, the person opposite immediately replied.

"Qishan-!" Han Si replied as he moved the fence blocking the road, and only then did he see clearly that the person who came was none other than Meng Hu, the general of the border army of the Qin State who lived in Yongqi.

After Wang Li and Su Jiao left, Meng Hu led more than 2,000 border soldiers who were still recuperating from their wounds to continue to stay, their identities were special, and Li Yuan did not ask Meng Hu to help him go on the expedition, in his opinion, his own affairs should be completed by his own people, although Yongqi had rebellions inside, and Qi Gill came to commit crimes, but if this small difficulty could not be solved, then how to talk about fighting for hegemony in the Central Plains, and Xiang Yu and Liu Bang for a long time.

"Li Junshou, the rebels are coming, why don't you know that the generals of my border army will be attacked, don't you deceive my border army and no one?" As soon as Meng Hu stepped into the camp, he said loudly in a huff.

In the tent, beside Li Yuan, Li Bi, Bai Guangji, and Cao Xin, who had just recovered from his injury but lost an eye, were all there, and when they heard Meng Hu's unkind tone, Li Bi and the others couldn't help but be angry.

"General Meng, what do you say? The border generals suffered heavy casualties before their deaths, and the soldiers were already overwhelmed, so how could they fight? Li Yuan's face sank, stared at Meng Hu and said.

"Yu County Guard, Captain Menghu of the Great Qin Border Army led 415 soldiers of the border army to report and wait for dispatch." Meng Hu blushed and said loudly.

The taste of living in Yongqi is very uncomfortable, especially for a young and vigorous teenager like Menghu. Although Li Yuan didn't say anything, but which of the athletes in the army was good to get along with, Menghu had heard a lot of gossip these days, and this time, he insisted on going on the expedition, just because he didn't want people to gossip about the border army.
