Chapter 31: A New Temptation
The night is like ink.
It temporarily obscures people's desires and strife.
After scolding and scolding for a while, Liu Bang, who was slightly drunk and elderly, finally finished venting and fell asleep, and also let his soldiers and ministers see his true temperament, and this kind of laughter and scolding has become a sign of Liu Bang's elder gentleness.
For these princes with the slogan of "anti-Qin", they went into battle to the front line to kill the enemy's own disciples and subordinates, and their task was to talk loudly, make friends with celebrities, compare with each other, and seek benefits.
"Pei Gong, gentle elder!"
"Pei Gong is a good person to get along with, if you want to elect the commander of the coalition forces, Pei Gong is the right candidate."
"If you want to get along with Pei Gong, you have a gap with the heroes of our Chen Land!"
I have to admit that at the level of dealing with people and grinding people's hearts, Liu Bang's ability is unmatched, Xiang Yu is far behind, and the young Li Yuan is also inferior to Liu Bang.
Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty and the ancestor of Houheixue, has no name.
――。
White horse crossing, calm from the hustle and bustle.
Liu Bang and Li Yuan did not meet again on the White Horse Battlefield in the end, and the existence of the night made both sides of the war in a state of confusion, guessing the intention was only an auxiliary means of warfare, and when facing an opponent with unconventional ideas, guessing lost all its meaning.
After Li Yuan learned from Gu Yun that all the soldiers of Gan and Zhou were killed in battle, he knew that there was no point in searching on the battlefield again, although there were still sporadic squads of Qin soldiers who insisted on fighting, but most of these soldiers were Yang Xiong's subordinates, and Li Yuan was not familiar with them, and it was no longer necessary to continue to stay on the battlefield, and the more than 7,000 Qin soldiers who broke through the siege still needed him to command and sit in order to prevent them from being attacked by the pursuing forces of the coalition forces again.
The Battle of White Horse began in late October and ended on the 25th, the time was only four or five days, from the perspective of the development of the campaign, it was divided into two stages, the first stage, the duel between Liu Bang and Yang Xiong, there is no doubt that Liu Bang won a big victory, Yang Xiong not only suffered two defeats in a row, but also was cut off his arm; At the same time, the western part of Dang County, the eastern part of Sanchuan County, and the land south of Dahe were also officially declared under the jurisdiction of the anti-Qin Shili.
In the second stage, in the duel between Liu Bang and Li Yuan, Lao Liu Ming won the victory on the face, but in fact, he paid the price of the two Wei generals of Huangxin and Fu Kuan, plus the death of nearly 5,000 soldiers, and he was not able to hurt Li Yuan's hair.
Huang Xin, Fu Kuan-. Although it is the king of Wei, but has always been close to Liu Bang, for this kind of good impression of other generals, Liu Bang is confident that in the near future, Fu Kuan and others will be drawn under his command, of course, this takes opportunity and time, originally this time the Qin army of the white horse is a good opportunity, Fu Kuan and other Wei generals responded to Liu Bang's call to come, which is to save in case Wei blame does not work, he will defect to Liu Bang.
In a word, although Liu Bang won, after waking up, he learned that more than 7,000 Qin troops had escaped, and if it weren't for the presence of many princes who came to the aid of friendship, he couldn't help but jump up and curse.
White Horse, West City, the camp of the Central Army of the Coalition Army.
Da Chu Wu Anhou, Dangjun Taishou, Pei Gong Liu Bang banquet to come to the aid of the princes. This is a banquet to celebrate the victory, but also after the victory of the anti-Qin coalition army after the spoils of the meeting, not surprisingly, this is a chicken feathers, disputes, bargaining meeting, on this occasion, Cao Shen, Xiahou Ying, Guan Ying and other brave generals on the battlefield have to stand aside, instead of them on the front desk is Xiao He, who has been silently in charge of Liu Bang.
Liu Bang is kneeling in the middle, with a smiling appearance, this kind of long-sleeved good dance, borrowing strength to play on the occasion in fact, he has always been very good at it, gentle elders, kind smiles, uninhibited style, so that the people who talk to him unconsciously let down their vigilance. However, his good mood was ruined shortly after the banquet began.
"Pei Gong, don't talk about the merits, just talk about the hard work, my Great Wei Army has lost two generals, Huang Xin and Fu Kuan, and thousands of soldiers have been killed and wounded, how can this thing be done." As the only representative of the Wei army who is still alive now, the general Wu Pu is the most active, and there is no way, the Wei army fought this battle miserably!
Wu Pu is a tenacious character, still martial, and despised for cunning, which is different from Fu Kuan, Peng Yue and other Wei generals, General Pu has not been very good at Liu Bang, this time if it weren't for the dispatch of King Wei, Wu Pu was afraid that he would not have much interest in coming to Sanchuan County to join in the fun.
"Hmph, there are dead and wounded in the Wei army, don't I have dead people in the giant wild bandits, I can go to the battlefield, the swords and guns have no eyes, and each has a destiny, I want Peng to say, whoever beheads the enemy with more heads and great achievements will share more." Peng Yue snorted coldly and said. He Lao Peng has experienced many things like merit and reward, if he really follows General Wu Pu's statement, then who else will bravely fight the enemy.
Not long ago, Peng Da Thief, who suffered a big loss in front of Li Yuan, was very low-key for a while, this time in the Battle of the White Horse, Peng Yue was very good at learning, as long as he saw Li Yuan's banner from a distance, he avoided it early, anyway, there were many Qin soldiers on the battlefield, as long as he Peng Yue was not lazy, the first level was.
The two powerful men of Wei fought in the nest, and a group of princes with their own thoughts spent their time watching the show, competing for power in troubled times, not only for the false name of winning the battle, but also for the benefits of grain and grass. For Liu Bang, the Battle of the White Horse was an important battle to establish prestige, and for many of the princes who came to fight, the distribution of the spoils of war was more important than anything else.
According to the true thoughts of Wu Pu and other princes, the heads of the soldiers of the Qin army, although this is very glorious, it is better for Pei Gong to keep it for yourself! We are grateful for the righteousness of Pei Gong to come to help, due to the hurry of walking, the grain and heavy goods are not enough, and we hope to take care of it a little more later.
"The two generals are angry, and we all listen to Pei Gong's arrangement." Xiao He saw that Wu Pu and Peng Yue were arguing, and hurriedly came out to play a round. Dealing with this kind of verbal scene, Xiao He has a lot of experience.
Liu Bang raised his hand, drank the wine cup in one gulp, and glanced at everyone: "Princess, you are really disappointing. After that, Liu Bang put down the wine cup with a "snap" and said nothing.
There was silence in the banquet, and Liu Bang's words came suddenly, which made some people who were simple-minded and confused, even if they were thoughtful, they no longer spoke, secretly guessing what Liu Bang would say next.
"Princes, Yang Xiong's army was defeated and fled west, and the Qin army in Xingyang was weak and demoralized, why don't we take advantage of the situation to seize Xingcheng and Changyi, so as to replenish my money and food, and strengthen the prestige of our army." Liu Bang drew his sword and said loudly and domineeringly. It was not easy to gather the shili with different affiliations, and of course Liu Bang would not let them go back like this.
Since you came, do you want to stay and follow the command? Xingyang, Wu Guang did not defeat it, it was because he did not know how to avoid the real and the false, and did not induce the defending enemy to abandon the fortified city and engage in a field battle, which was Wu Guang's stupidity, while he Liu Bang was different. There is also Changyi, which is a big granary set up by the Qin State in the eastern part of the country, and if you capture it, no matter how you distribute it, it will be enough for the princes from all walks of life to eat for several months.
The bait is in front of you.
Liu Bang believed that no prince would be able to resist the temptation.
