Chapter 639: Liu Bang Chapter (Extra) III

();

So through the knight's recommendation, Li Shiqi met Pei Gong. But when Liu Bang summoned him, he was sitting on the bed and asked the two women to wash his feet. Li Shi was so full that he didn't bow down, and directly reprimanded: "Do you want to help the Qin State attack the princes, or do you want to lead the princes to destroy the Qin State?" Liu Bang scolded: "You slave Confucian!" The people of the world have suffered from the Qin Dynasty for a long time, so the princes have successively raised troops to resist the tyrannical Qin, how do you say to help the Qin State attack the princes? Li Sheng said: "If you are determined to gather the people and gather volunteers to overthrow the tyrannical and unscrupulous Qin Dynasty, then you should not use such a stubborn and rude attitude to meet the elders." So Liu Bang got up and apologized, and after tidying up, he received Li Shiqi with courtesy.

At that time, Li Shiqi had a younger brother named Li Shang, and when Chen Sheng raised an army, he also gathered thousands of people to respond. Li Shiqi returned to Han, and Li Shang led more than 4,000 of his subordinates to join Pei Gong's team.

Li Shiqi persuaded Liu Bang to attack Chenliu County, and Liu Bang took Chenliu from his plan and got a large amount of supplies. Then ordered Li Shang to be the general and attacked Daliang County (now Kaifeng), but did not go down. Bypassing the westward advance, he fought with the Qin army led by the Qin general Yang Xiong in Baima and Quyu, and defeated the Qin army. Qin defeated Yang Xiong.

The Pei Gong army pursued him closely to Baima and broke the Qin army again, Yang Xiong fled to Xingyang, and Qin II sent envoys to kill Yang Xiong.

After destroying the Qin army under Yang Xiong, Pei Gong led his army south to attack Yingyang and slaughter it. At this time, Zhang Liang met Liu Bang again. Previously, Zhang Liang persuaded Xiang Liang to become the king of Han, and followed the king of Han to the west to the land of Han. However, for more than a year, every time the land was lost, the situation was never opened, so the guerrillas were in the Yingchuan area.

Liu Bang led his army to this point, joined forces with Zhang Liang's Han army, and attacked Xuanyuan (northwest of present-day Dengfeng City) to slightly settle the Han land. Zhao Bei sent Sima Wei to cross the river into the pass, and Liu Bang led the army north, attacked Pingyin, and destroyed the ferry. Go south and fight with the Qin army again in the east of Luoyang, which is unfavorable, go south to Yangcheng, and collect the military horses in the city. Fought with Nanyang Shouqi in the east of Lili (now southwest of Pingdingshan, Henan) and broke the Nanyang Qin army. Liu Bang occupied Nanyang County, and Nanyang defended Wancheng.

The Chu army wanted to bypass Wancheng and advance directly westward. Zhang Liang persuaded: "Although Pei Gong wants to enter the customs in a hurry, the Qin soldiers are still crowded, and the distance is dangerous. Today, it is not like Wan, it is like attacking from behind, and Qin is in front, and this is a dangerous road. So Liu Bang led troops to attack Wancheng at night, and the banner died down, and the sky was not clear, so he surrounded Wancheng. Nanyang Shou then wanted to commit suicide, but his disciple Chen Hui persuaded him not to die first, and sent an envoy to Chu Ying to say: "I heard that the foot has made an appointment with someone: the one who enters Xianyang first is the king, and now the foot is attacking Wancheng." There are dozens of strongholds in Wanjun, and the soldiers guarding them think that they will be executed if they surrender, so they all go to the city and defend it.

If you attack all day, there will be a lot of casualties on both sides, and if you give up attacking Wan and lead your troops to the west, the Qin soldiers in Wandi may chase behind. The foot-down attack on Wan delayed the covenant of the first to enter Xianyang as the king, and the foot-down abandonment of Wan left the danger of chasing the army. For the sake of his feet, it is better to allow the defenders of Wancheng to surrender, make the county guard a marquis, and still let him stay where he is, and transfer his troops to the west. The cities that have not yet been conquered in front of them will definitely respond to the wind and greet them, and they will pass smoothly without worries. So after the two sides agreed, Nanyang Shou surrendered, Pei Gong named him the Marquis of Yin, and Chen Hui was named a thousand households.

Liu Bang led his army to continue westward and captured Danshui (present-day Xichuan). At this time, the gills of the Marquis of Gaowu and the tomb of the Marquis of Sui also joined the Chu army led by Liu Bang and captured Xiling and Huyang. And Fanjun Wu Rui's subordinate general Mei Kai also came here, united with Pei Gong's army, and captured Xi (now Xixia County), Li and other places.

Liu Bang's Chu army advanced to Wu Guandong. So he sent Wei people Ning Chang to envoy Qin, and at this time Zhang Han also surrendered to Xiang Yu. Zhao Gao killed Qin II, and ordered the envoy to report back to Liu Bang, wanting to make an appointment to divide the pass.

Liu Bang thought that Zhao Gao was a deceit, so he took Zhang Liang's plan to make Li Shiqi and Lu Jia persuade the Qin generals of Wuguan (now Wuguan Town, Danfeng County, Shaanxi) to surrender, and then attacked the Qin generals of Wuguan and captured Wuguan. After that, Liu Bang led his army westward on the one hand, and ordered Li Shang to capture Qin's Hanzhong, Ba, Shu and other places.

Then the Han army defeated the Qin army at the foot of the mound, so that Liu Bang's Chu army advanced to Lantian near the Qin capital Xianyang. Qin Ting organized the last force to fight Liu Bang's army in Lantian, and Liu Bang's army broke the Qin army. In this way, the Qin Dynasty lost all its resistance forces.

In October of the first year of the Han Dynasty, the prince of Qin infantly rode a white horse, tied his neck to a group, and presented the jade seal of the country to Liu Bang next to Yidao (now Xi'an City, Shaanxi). The Qin Dynasty thus fell, and the country was established for 15 years and 47 days.

Liu Bang proudly entered Xianyang City and regarded himself as the "King of Guanzhong". Looking at the palatial palace, Liu Bang became a little nostalgic and prepared to stay here and enjoy it. Fan Hao advised him to pay attention to the fact that the world has not yet been calmed, and don't forget Qin's experience. Liu Bang couldn't listen to it at all, and it wasn't until Zhang Liang personally came to persuade him that he realized the seriousness of the problem. So, Liu Bang led the army to retreat to Bashang.

After Liu Bang arrived at Bashang, he summoned the local celebrities and made an agreement with them on the three chapters of the law: death to the murderer, wounding and atonement for theft. The abolition of the other harsh legal systems of the Qin dynasty gave him popular support.

After Xiang Yu defeated Zhang Han and forced him to surrender, he also led his troops straight to Guanzhong. Fan Zeng persuaded him to take the opportunity to get rid of Liu Bang, an opponent, and Xiang Yu ordered preparations to attack the next day. At this time, Liu Bang could not compete with the powerful Xiang Yu in terms of troops, he only had 100,000 troops, and it was impossible to defeat Xiang Yu's 400,000 elite soldiers. In the end, it was Xiang Yu's uncle Xiang Bo who "saved" Liu Bang: Xiang Bo and Liu Bang's advisor Zhang Liang were very good, and when he saw that Xiang Yu was about to attack, he sneaked into the camp overnight to find Zhang Liang and told him to leave quickly so as not to be killed. Zhang Liang said that he couldn't leave Liu Bang, so he revealed the news to Liu Bang. In a panic, Liu Bang hurriedly asked Zhang Liang for advice, and Zhang Liang asked Liu Bang to hurry up to see Xiang Bo, explaining that he had no ambition to compete with Xiang Yu for the throne.

Liu Bang made an appointment with Xiang Bo according to the plan, explaining that he had no ambition to be the king, and made an appointment with Xiang Bo to become his sons and daughters. Xiang Bo returned to the barracks that night, and he said to Xiang Yu: "Because Pei Gong entered the customs first and removed the obstacles for us to enter the customs, we can pass through the Hangu Pass smoothly. Xiang Yu heard this, and decided not to attack Liu Bang again.

The next day, Liu Bang came to Xiang Yu's military camp, bringing only Fan Xu, Zhang Liang and a hundred elite soldiers. When he arrived at Xiang Yu's big tent, he apologized to Xiang Yu who greeted him in person. Xiang Yu invited Liu Bang to the banquet, Xiang Yu's father Fan Zeng, who had always advocated killing Liu Bang, repeatedly signaled Xiang Yu to give orders at the banquet, but Xiang Yu hesitated and silently refused. Fan Zeng summoned Xiang Zhuang to dance the sword to cheer up the banquet and took the opportunity to kill Liu Bang, and Xiang Bo also drew his sword and danced to protect Liu Bang, covering Liu Bang, but without success. This is the origin of the idiom "Xiang Zhuang dancing sword, meaning Pei Gong". Later, Liu Bang left under the pretext of leaving and returned to the camp.
