Two peaches kill three soldiers.

In the face of fame and power, being able to be not vain, not impetuous, able to correctly judge oneself, and grasp every step is the quality that an excellent leader should have.

If there is no identity of the traverser, Li Yuan will be like Ying Ziying in the face of the temptation of the throne, knowing that it is a fire pit, but he still wants to jump down.

Today's dormant.

It's for the next step of soaring.

In the face of as many as 500,000 anti-Qin coalition troops, if Li Yuanjun, who is still very weak, is a mantis arm, the result will be ashes, and he is now retreating, giving up the empty Xianyang City, and pushing Ying Ziying, who has no military power, to the forefront, the development of the situation will be Xiang Yu and Liu Bang in order to compete for the position of the king of Guanzhong, and start a life-and-death battle for hegemony.

History is changing, but what remains unchanged is people's hearts.

Li Yuan believed that Xiang Yu was still the same Xiang Yu, and Liu Bang was still the same Liu Bang, and the weakness of their personalities would eventually lead to a fierce conflict between them.

Now, all he has to do is hide himself and wait and see what happens.

Yongcheng.

The capital of the pre-Qin state.

That is, Fengxiang County, Shaanxi Province later, here is the Kyushu in the world in "Yu Gong": Ji, Yan, Qing, Xu, Yang, Jing, Yu, Liang, Yong. The seat of Yongzhou's governance. In the Spring and Autumn Period, it was called Yongyi, and when Qin Xianggong was named a prince, the king of the Western Zhou Dynasty gave the land of Qixi.

Qixi is the upper reaches of the Guanzhong Plain to the west of Neishi County and the east of Didao, and in later generations, it is Baoji, Fengxiang, Chencang, Chiba and Fufeng area, where the grass and trees are flourishing, the land is fertile, the geographical location is the key point of the east-west traffic, and the ravines are vertical and horizontal, and the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Compared with other places in Guanzhong, the people of Yongcheng have the deepest feelings for the Qin State, and they are a strong support for Li Yuan's future development.

On the second day after the whole army arrived in Yongcheng, Li Yuan urgently convened the generals and strategists and convened the first formal military meeting since entering Guanzhong.

At this meeting, Yang Xiong, Xin Sheng and other generals who were originally isolated from the periphery were also included, and for them, with the increasingly close relationship with Li Yuan, under the centripetal force of this small group, they had no other choice.

Yang Xiong retreated all the way, and the garrison force remaining in Hangu Pass was only a thousand people, and in the face of the overwhelming anti-Qin army, even if he had natural danger, he could not hold the pass under the situation of extreme disparity in strength.

Xin Sheng was accompanied by his daughter Xin Chai, the family moved to Yongcheng, under his demonstration and call, Li Yuanjun's immigration work went smoothly, in the process of Li Yuan's occupation of Guanzhong, the old general played an irreplaceable role, in the war of unification of the veteran who shined, eager to prove himself again.

In the face of the threat of death and annihilation, one after another young Qin people embarked on the road to the west under the expectation of their families, and they wanted to win the hope of inheritance and reproduction for the entire family.

Outside Yongcheng, Qishan.

To the surprise of Xin Sheng, Yang Xiong and others, Li Yuan did not place the venue of the meeting in the official conference hall, but moved it to the foot of Qishan Mountain.

Holding a military deployment meeting in the field, in the face of the undulating mountains, young generals such as Luo Jia and Wang Shang were broad-minded, and the depression of retreating for many days was also swept away.

A sand table with a miniature version in the center has been made and placed in front of everyone, the mountains and rivers are piled up with sand, the rivers are carved with flowing water, and the roads, passes, forests, and cities are clearly marked.

"Gentlemen, the sky is high and the sea is wide, and there are places where my men gallop. Today's retreat of our army is for the sake of making great strides in the coming day, Xianyang we gave up today, and one day we will go to get it back, do you have any self-confidence? Li Yuan looked at the generals and said loudly.

"Yes!" The voices of young generals such as Luo Jia, Wang Shang, and Jiang Yu were not loud.

"Ladies and gentlemen, since March, our army has shrunk its forces in accordance with the prior arrangement, and cede many cities such as Hangu, Xianyang, Linxia, and Lantian, and now, the whole army has completed the strategic transfer, and a total of 200,000 Ding Zhuang and Jiannu have moved to the west of Qishan with the army, and now they have been arranged to be resettled in Wugong, Meishan, Qixian and other places, and the grain and straw supply are a piece, and there are still four months before the corn matures in the first season this autumn. Facing a group of generals and colonies, whether they were old, young, brave, or resourceful, Li Yuan used a bronze staff to point to the cities on the sand table and began to analyze the complex situation in the pass.

"According to the latest news, in the direction of Raoguan in the south of the Qinling Mountains, Liu Bangjun has appeared, and it is estimated that if Liu Jun's speed is fast, it will only take two days and nights to reach Xianyang; In the direction of Hangu, Xiang Yu's army has just passed through the pass, and it will take five days to reach the capital at the earliest, and the two tigers will fight each other, and there will be an injury, what we have to do now is to guard the line of Qishan and Chencang, no matter who dares to come to the place of the old Qin people to take advantage, then resolutely and unceremoniously slammed hard. ”

"General, we really won't retreat this time?" Luo Jia asked in surprise.

Retreat, transfer, move -- these days, Lieutenant General Li Yuanjun has a lot of complaints, for the soldiers who are used to moving forward bravely, let them retreat is more uncomfortable than killing them, this Li Yuan also feels the same way, but orders are orders, must be carried out unconditionally, at this point, Luo Jia They have done a good job, but there are still some things in their hearts that can't turn around.

Li Yuan pointed to the sand table, and continued: "We gave up Hangu Pass, gave up Xianyang, looted Xianyang's treasury, and left such a large area for Xiang Yu and Liu Bang to toss, let's watch the show with peace of mind!" From the point of view of the gentlemen, the next military goal of our army is Longxi County, and the Shanggua area (today's water area) is the homeland of my Qin, Xuanyuan's hometown, but now it is harassed by the Di people and the Qiang people, what we have to do is to drive away the barbarians, recuperate, and wait for the time to recover. ”

"County guard, this time the three generals of the border army Wang Li, Su Jiao, and Menghu also retreated to Yongxian with our army, I think they mean that they want to turn back to Jiuyuan, how should we deal with it." Yang Xiong asked with a look of respect.

Li Yuan's analysis made him feel a sense of amazement, and he was able to analyze and look at the general trend of the country from the perspective of the overall situation, and Li Yuan's ability was indeed much stronger than him.

"The border army is arrogant, no one was in sight before, this time the elite of the border army is all lost, in my opinion, it is better to collect its remnants." Luo Jia said hatefully.

"The county can't be defended, Wang Li and Su Jiao were fortunate to be received by our army this time, so they were lucky enough to escape their lives, according to Ping's opinion, they can help each other." Chen Ping listened to the words and admonished.

Just now, Li Yuan analyzed the general military situation, and this aspect was not his Chen Ping's strong point, but when it came to vertical and horizontal integration, Chen Ping's views were indeed unique.

The foundation of the Great Qin Border Army is in Jiuyuan County in the north, although the elite of the border army has lost almost, but there are still troops left behind in Jiuyuan County, in the case of the anti-Qin Shili dominance, Li Yuanjun and the border army are the only two existing Liliang in the Qin State.
