Chapter 12: The Rebellion of Chen Feng (3)

Liu Bang immediately ordered a reward of thousands of gold to be offered for the heads of Wang Huang and Manqiuchen. During the three or five days, when Liu Bang inspected Handan, many of Chen Fengjun's generals, who were tempted by financial gains, came to Handan to join Liu Bang's army, or were sent home, or were assigned to the army of Zhou Bo and Yingying, Li Shang and others. On the third day, he fought with Chen Xuan's army at 80 miles outside Handan City, and Chen Xuan's army saw that the emperor personally conquered, and they were all frightened and did not dare to take the lead in provoking the formation, but they did not dare to fight easily in the deep ditch and high fortress guarding the city. Liu Bang personally shouted under the city to call Chen Feng to meet, Chen Feng only listened incognito at the head of the city but did not dare to see Liu Bang head-on, and was forced by Liu Bang's words to be anxious, so he watched the soldiers in the city shoot an arrow warning at Liu Bang under the city, and the arrow was only shot at Liu Bang's feet as a warning, causing the generals on horseback to exclaim and shout. Your Majesty be careful', Liu Bang was shocked, not only was he shocked by the archer's archery at that time, but the arrow was only less than three inches at his feet, but he was also suddenly annoyed, and pointed at the soldiers at the head of the city and the invisible Chen Feng and scolded, "Chen Feng is a thief!" Dare to rebel for no reason, this crime is one; I came to Handan, but I didn't come to worship, this is the second sin; instigating the soldiers to shoot arrows at me, this crime is three; Knowing the crime and committing the crime, this crime is four, the four crimes are all the scourge of the clan, but I have the heart to forgive you from death, if you lead the troops to surrender, you can still be the Marquis of Yangxia, if you don't surrender, you will die without a place to be buried. Chen Xuan, who was hidden in the city, still didn't respond, but a soldier shouted at Liu Bang with a bow and arrow, "Liu Ji, old thief!" Mean and unkind, narrow-minded, suspicious, rather use ministers, suppress the princes, nepotism, lest you Sheji princes are not Liu and force the princes to rebel step by step. The old thief Hugh wants to say again, if he descends on you, I am afraid that we will be crushed and scattered. Now that you and I have become hostile strangers, General Chen will not kill you today when he thinks of the past, if you and I meet again in the future, we will capture you and put you in the account and you are not polite whether you are the co-master of the world. You must go quickly, or the arrow will not know where it will go to you. Before he could say that, an arrow had already been shot at Liu Bang's other foot, which frightened Liu Bang three steps back. Liu Bang gritted his teeth in anger, his face turned red, and he shouted at the soldiers in the city with a loud wave of the whip in his hand in the air, "Inform the boy for the last time, if you surrender, you will be born, if you continue to resist, when the city is broken, Hugh blames me for the tiger and wolf's master, the wolf eater, etc., don't regret that your ancestral graves were humiliated!" Liu Bang said this, the city was silent for a long time, and then a quarter of an hour saw a shout of killing in the city gate, 'squeak-' The city gate opened, and the twenty or thirty soldiers put down their halberds and ran to Liu Bang's army, and the twenty or thirty people were ordered by a crisp voice from the city before they were halfway, "Shoot them all!" Suddenly, the arrows on the city tower rained down, and they shot at the soldiers who rushed to Liu Bang's army, and in an instant, twenty or thirty people fell in front of Liu Bang's army one by one, with painful faces. Liu Bang's heart was like a knife, that was his people, some people who corrected their mistakes in time, chose to defect to Liu Bang for the sake of their lives and their families, but they all died because of his words. In order to prevent more people from losing their lives, Liu Bang's eyes burst red and shouted angrily, "Withdraw from the army!" With a loud wave of the whip, he turned on his horse, turned his horse's head, and led the crowd back to Handan City.

After a half-day break, Liu Bang was angry with Chen Feng and couldn't sleep peacefully, and dozens of envoys from all over the country entered the palace of King Zhao in an endless stream to report to Liu Bang about the counterinsurgency in various places, or there were joys and sorrows. Chen Wu, the general of Chai who pacified the siege of the party, had just arrived in Handan, and felt that the atmosphere was tense, and he saw many generals hurrying into the palace of King Zhao with serious faces, and after inquiring, he heard that Hou Chang, the general of Chen Feng's department, had recently led 10,000 soldiers to march near Handan, and the army sent by Liu Bang had just exchanged troops with Hou Chang's army, but Hou Chang's army was scattered and retreated in defeat, and Liu Bang's army could not chase after him, and he could not be caught, so the situation made Liu Bang annoyed many times. Just when he was annoyed, he received a battle report that Zhang Chun helped Chen Feng break through the Qinghe River and led the army south to cross the Zhanghe River, and was running in the direction of Liaocheng. Liu Bang was immediately shocked, if Zhang Chun was asked to capture Liaocheng, Liu Bang's army would be attacked by Chen Xian's army and Zhang Chun's army in the north and south, and the situation was extremely unfavorable to Liu Bang. Liu Bang looked flustered and paced the hall, scratching his ears and cheeks, not knowing how to overcome this situation, if he divided his troops to pursue Zhang Chun, then Handan's troops were weaker, if he did not send troops to pursue, he would inevitably be attacked, Liu Bang held his face and sighed from time to time, and his steps were heavy. In the audience, Guo Meng's eyes rolled, and he immediately stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, the emperor has a plan, I don't know if it's feasible?" Liu Bang shook his hand Guo Meng with an 'oops', and hurriedly said, "Tell me, if there is a way, don't say it, don't get moldy." Guo Meng said, "The minister led part of the cavalry to pursue Zhang Chun, I heard that Cao Shenxiangguo had led the Qi army through Pingyin and was about to go north to make peace with His Majesty, and the minister sent a knight to Cao Xiangguo to communicate with Zhang Chun to attack Zhang Chun, so Handan was worry-free. "Haha-" Liu Bang suddenly clapped his hands and laughed, "Wonderful! Zhang Chun wants to flank me, I'll kill him first, an anti-minister thief. Be good, good, and act according to Guo Gong's words. Liu Bang agreed, and Guo Meng immediately went down to arrange the attack on Zhang Chun.

Guo Meng just went out, and then Zhou Chang came in in a hurry, and said to Liu Bang that Peng Yue was seriously ill, and only sent two deputy generals to Handan with 3,000 troops, and the two deputy generals were waiting outside the palace to meet him. Liu Bang's face immediately darkened, and he only said in a dull manner for a long time, "All of them are incorporated into the Infant Irrigation Army." Zhou Chang was stunned for a while and then retreated.

Liu Bang's mouth was dry, so he sat down in the banquet and drank three cups of tea, Zhao Guoshi hurriedly entered the hall, and walked to Liu Bang with a panicked look in front of the report that Wei County and Guangzong were broken at the same time, Chen Feng and Manqiu Chen's army were stationed in Xiangguo at this time, Zhao Li's army was stationed in Dongyuan, and Wang Huang's army was stationed in Qu Rebellion, forming a three-layer army to press Handan in the south, and Wang Huang led people to break through Shangquyang, Anguo, Anping, Lunu and other places one after another. Liu Bang was silent for a while, and immediately ascended to the court to discuss the matter. All the generals went out of class to ask for their lives, and they were all excited, and they couldn't wait to fly to the enemy camp at this time to have a good time. Liu Bang saw that the morale of the army was coming, so he took advantage of the situation to order the generals, "Fan Hao led the army to capture Xiangguo, and waited for Zhou Zao to lead the army to help General Fan recover the cities of Qinghe, Weixian, and Guangzong." Now Chen Feng led the army to the south, the land must be empty, Zhou Bo led the army to cross the Taihang Mountain from Taiyuan into the Dingdai land, and the Chai generals Chen Wu and Xue Ou followed Zhou Bo to the north. Irrigating babies and merchants followed me to fight Dongyuan. The generals from all walks of life brushed out the squad to lead the order, and shouted excitedly, "The Han will win-", and the sound shook the palace.

Soon, Zhou Bo led 3,000 cavalry, 10,000 foot soldiers quietly crossed the Taihang Mountain into the Taiyuan Basin, from Taiyuan to the north of the general want to enter the Dingdai land, but the road encountered more than Chen Feng fled generals, almost did not meet Chen Feng frontal army, caught the fleeing generals asked, the original in Dingxiang has Chen Xuan's troops to ride horses to fall in the garrison, the fugitive generals and said to ride horses to descend in Dingxiang to dig deep moats, the city head armor soldiers patrol the city day and night, the soldiers in the city train day and night, the patrol patrols the city day and night, to prevent the enemy from entering. Zhou Bo made a difficulty, how to capture the high city and the deep river? It was also winter, and he must have wanted to fight a protracted battle with the enemy army, but Zhou Bo had to conquer it in order to continue to recover the northern land. Zhou Bo thought about it and ordered the generals to lead the troops to Dingxiang City to ask for battle, how could it be very resourceful to surrender by horse, but he didn't go to battle, and the several groups of people and horses sent by Zhou Bo couldn't see the horse surrender at all. Riding a horse to descend this army in front, Zhou Bo's heart is like a stone block, and the horse to confront half a month almost nothing, Zhou Bo privately asked how to descend by horse, the captured fugitive generals all said that its biggest problem is that he has a big temper, and he will punish others at every turn, and he is a Legalist fanatic. Zhou Bo suddenly smiled after thinking about it, and said, "I know that this battle will be won." "All the generals under his command are puzzled, but Zhou Bo sent his own soldiers to Dingxiang City to insult the horses, but the soldiers all changed to wear Confucian clothes, before the horses were sitting in the military tent and calm, when he went out of the city to inspect but saw seven or eight people wearing Confucian clothes under the city or standing and scolding or sitting in the car and scolding leisurely or two or three people hooking their shoulders and shouting out of the unbearable life of riding horses, filthy sentences can also be scolded from the mouth of soldiers who seem to be dressed in Confucian costumes, but some of them were unexpected, and the angry horses were red faces, Seven or eight 'Confucians' scolded towards the city, "The junior of Confucianism dares to scold before the great sage of the Legalist, see how Naigong picks your skin today!" There was a burst of ridicule from the city, "Shang Ying and Han Feizi dare not call themselves saints, Shang Ying's car is split, Han Feizi is imprisoned to death, I don't know where the rats in the city are buried today!" Haha-" The laughter grew louder and louder.

"Kill-" There was a burst of ridicule under the city, but the gate of Dingxiang City suddenly opened, and thousands of people rushed out from the inside and out, and went straight to the seven or eight 'Confucians', and the leader was the horse with fire in his eyes, and the horse descended on the horse and waved the whip, "Kill them and reward a hundred gold." These seven or eight people were overjoyed when they saw that they had descended on horseback, and each took off their Confucian clothes, took out their halberds from the car, and rushed into the camp of descending on horseback, and slashed and killed the enemy. Just in the middle of the battle, and saw an army of about 5,000 people rushed straight to the army on horseback to kill the general, it was Zhou Bo ordered Xue Ou to lead the troops to hide in the edge of the city, when the seven or eight people shouted and scolded to take effect, they took advantage of the chaos to swarm up, and they were frightened by horses, I don't know where the five thousand people came from in front of them, just when they were panicking on horseback, they heard someone at the city gate shouting that the city gate was on fire, and they were shocked again, and they looked back at the city gate but saw the flames, and the flames went straight to the sky, and the city gate was breached in a short time. Zhou Bo led the rest of the troops to storm the city gate, and when Zhou Bo captured the city gate, the army led by Xue Ou also attacked the remnants of the army that descended on horseback, Xue Ou specially ordered to kill the person who descended on the horse and rewarded a hundred gold, and the soldiers shouted excitedly to kill. The army of the horse descended to resist hard, and finally did not take Xue Ou's 5,000 people, and finally the nine soldiers who descended on the horse fought hard to resist and killed, and escorted the horse to escape in embarrassment.

Zhou Bo and Xue Ou entered Dingxiang City, erected a large banner at the head of the city, and announced the recovery of Dingxiang. After a day of rest, they continued to go north, and successively recovered Yuanping and Daixian captured by Chen Xuan. Zhou Bo's soldiers have already detected the embarrassment of the horse to flee and run to the Ma Yi guard, Ma Yi is a military town since ancient times, far stronger than Dingxiang, there must be elite soldiers in the city to assist the horse to descend, and then look at the city head soldiers standing on the city wall solidly. Zhou Bo didn't dare to be careless, so he set up camp thirty miles away from Mayi. Zhou Bo and the generals discussed with the original scolding of the city to lead out the horse surrender is impossible, so that it can only be stormed, when the city of Mayi is fifty miles away from the reinforcements, Zhou Bo ordered Xue Ou to stick to the camp to see the situation and move, he himself led the army of 7,000 people and the people in the mouth of the mouth to attack the city at night, how can the soldiers on the city of Ma Yi expected that the enemy army would sneak attack at night, when Zhou Bo led his troops to the city, the city and the city gate shouted, the fire was everywhere, and the fire on the city shone on the city in an instant, Zhou Bo looked up and saw that the soldiers at the head of the city were all full of bows in their hands, aiming at them and shooting indiscriminately, Zhou Bo gave an order, "Take your shield and hide under the wall." The soldiers covered their shields one by one and hid under the wall to stand in a long row, and the arrows could only be shot on the shield, while the arrows were released on the city, Zhou Bo ordered people to set fire to the city gate again with the shield, the city gate was on fire, Zhou Bo's soldiers saw that victory was in sight, but the city head was changed to use boulders to smash people, and in an instant Zhou Bo's soldiers were killed and injured more than 1,000 people, and after the city gate caught fire, how did they expect that the fire inside also blocked the entry of Zhou Bo's soldiers. Zhou Bo let out a long sigh, but he was flustered, and at this time he heard the shouting and mocking of the horses on the head of the city, "Confucian rats? See how you come in, and if you set a fire outside, I will set a fire inside, and if you come in through the line of fire, I will kill myself at once. Haha-" After saying that, all the soldiers in the city came down on horseback and laughed.

Zhou Bojun gritted his teeth one by one. "If thou hast descended at this time, thou shalt leave thy whole body; If you don't surrender, when the city is broken, don't blame me for waiting for the wolves to eat you! Zhou Bo angrily threw a cruel word on the city. Smash me-" The horse was angry and red-eyed, and ordered people to continue to smash Zhou Bo's soldiers, and Zhou Bo hurriedly led people to retreat along the wall. When Fang was sneering at the army on horseback, an arrow shot through a soldier on the city, and the soldier fell down the city with a whimper, and he was shocked when he landed on horseback, and looked at the city with his eyes fixed, only to hear the sound of shouting and killing in the east of the city, and then several soldiers were killed by arrows, and when he descended on horseback, he didn't know how many people came and it was night, so he immediately panicked, and when he looked at the city again, the shouting and killing sound covered Zhou Bo's soldiers and quickly retreated. It turned out that Xue Ou was not worried about Zhou Bo's night attack and ordered someone to secretly investigate, knowing that Zhou Bo's soldiers were trapped, he led an army of 3,000 to come to the rescue, and just happened to encounter Zhou Bo's soldiers retreating along the wall, Xue Ou ordered people to shoot arrows in the distance to confuse the judgment of riding horses, so as to save Zhou Bo and others from the trap. Zhou Bo asked Xue Ou how to give up the military camp and leave privately, and Xue Ou told the news that he had discovered, leaving 5,000 in the military camp and bringing 3,000 to rescue. Zhou Bo was embarrassed before he stroked Xue Ou's arm and said a heavy "thank you", and then hurriedly led the army back to the camp for rectification.

After that, they attacked for two days in a row, but to no avail. Later, when the snow fell heavily, Zhou Bo stopped the siege of the city, and discussed countermeasures with the generals in the tent and oven, but there were many strategies but they were useless. Zhou Bo's difficulties reached the ears of Liu Bang in Handan, Liu Bang immediately called Zhang Liang, the first military division, thinking that Zhang Liang was practicing in the mountains, but Chen Feng rebelled against the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang insisted on inviting Zhang Liang down the mountain regardless of 3721, and asked Zhang Liang to go north with him to Zhao to quell Chen Feng's rebellion. Zhang Liang couldn't bear Liu Bang's several words, and knew Liu Bang's temperament, so he had to follow Liu Bang to the north and continue to be a military advisor to make suggestions. Liu Bang told Zhang Liang about the difficulties encountered by Zhou Bo in Mayi, and Zhang Liang came to the old plan after thinking about it carefully, or bribing Chen Xuan's generals with financial resources. Liu Bang smiled and said that the gate of Mayi was closed, and there was no way to enter and bribe General Chen Xuan. Zhang Liang pondered again, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he whispered something to Liu Bang, but Liu Bang laughed out loud, and hurriedly told Zhang Liang what he told the admonitor, and told the admonitor to hurry up and tell Zhou Bo the strategy of going down to the city.

Zhou Bo was worried that the horse was not broken, and suddenly heard that there was an emperor's messenger outside the tent, Zhou Bo hurriedly went out to greet him, and after greeting the confessor, the confessor solemnly said something to Zhou Bo, Zhou Bo was also so happy that he laughed, and hurriedly invited the confessor to enter the account to eat. In the night, he told Zhang Liang's strategy to the generals, and all the generals bowed their heads and praised the wisdom of the marquis. The next day, the snow continued to fall, but Zhou Bo was wearing armor and ordering 5,000 soldiers outside the tent, all of them carrying bows and arrows, holding swords in their hands, all wearing snow-white robes, pants and boots were wrapped in white cloth, and the 5,000 soldiers stood in the snow as if they were melting into the snow. Zhou Bo smiled, and immediately ordered to attack the city again, Zhou Bo led people to bypass the south gate and turn to the north gate to wait not far outside the city, at this time the sky was getting dark, the city defenders were less than half, and the enemy thought that they would not attack the city on a snowy day, Zhou Bo's soldiers laughed secretly. When he saw the snow in the air drifting obliquely into Mayi City with the wind, Zhou Bo knew that the city guards must be unable to open their eyes by the oncoming snowflakes at this time, and because the sky was close to dark, Zhou Bo ordered people to lie on the ground and crawl forward, so that they could hide in the snow and the soldiers in the city were not easy to find. When it came to a certain distance, Zhou Bo quietly ordered the archers to prepare, and fifty archers immediately drew their bows to the head of the city, Zhou Bo waved his hand, and all the arrows flew to the head of the city like rain, and suddenly there were more than forty people on the head of the city, but Zhou Bo quickly ordered everyone to bow their heads and bury them in the rain and snow. I only heard that there was a great chaos in the city, the city guards did not know who attacked them, but they did not find anyone under the city in the snow, and after a period of chaos, they immediately quieted down, Zhou Bo ordered the archers to shoot arrows with bows, and forty or fifty people planted down on the city, so three times, suddenly the city was in chaos, and some people immediately shouted vigilantly, "The enemy is coming-", the soldiers in the city each picked up their bows and arrows and pointed at the city but did not find anyone, and suddenly the city guards were panicked and frightened, and their hands trembled. Riding a horse to descend thought that the enemy was only attacking at the south gate, but he did not expect to go around to the north gate, and when he saw the situation, he quickly transferred the troops from the south gate to aid the north gate, and ordered to shoot it regardless of whether there were enemy troops under the city. Suddenly, many of Zhou Bo's soldiers were killed and wounded, and Zhou Bo ordered everyone to attack and shoot and hide.

Just as Zhou Bo led his people to attack the north gate, the soldiers who descended on horses reported that the south gate had been breached, and they were shocked and trembling all over. Originally, according to Zhang Liang's plan, Zhou Bo used the white robe of the snow to hide in the snow and attack a gate first, draw the enemy's attention to one side, and then transfer a general to lead people to attack his negligence. In this way, when Zhou Bo attacked the north gate, he transferred the troops of the south gate to the north gate by horse, and the troops were greatly reduced, and Xue Ou led people to attack the south gate. Soon, the city was broken. Zhou Bo and his soldiers were overjoyed and immediately rushed back to the south gate, and Xue Ou had already led the army in. Seeing that he wanted to escape again, Zhou Bo ordered someone to capture Chengma alive, and Chengma didn't dare to look at Zhou Bo, Zhou Bo snorted coldly and ordered someone to light a small fire on the ground, Zhou Bojing sneered at Chengma from stepping over, "I crossed the line of fire, and the city was broken, what should you do?" Riding the horse and letting out a long sigh, "The Confucian boy scolded me." After that, he jumped off the city wall while Zhou Bo's soldiers were not paying attention, and fell into the snow, and suddenly the blood was all over the ground.

Within five days, Zhou Bo refused to surrender because the soldiers and civilians of Mayi were all rebellious, and if the resistance was excessive, he ordered people to slaughter the city and destroy Mayi. On the head of the city, a large banner with the word "Han" was erected, and Mayi was recovered.

Besides, after Fan Hao entered Taiyuan in Zhou, he first led 5,000 soldiers to attack Xiangguo where Chen Xuan and Zhao Li were stationed, as soon as Fan Hao arrived, the Xiangguo soldiers were afraid, one is that Xiangguo is not far from Handan, the emperor is in Handan at this time, and the soldiers are all shocked by the emperor Longwei; the second is that the soldiers of Xiangguo were all forced to defend the city by Chen Xuan and Manqiuchen; The third is that everyone knows that Fan Xu fights, the siege of the city will be broken, so the morale will be lost by half, when Fan Xu attacked the city, or there are defections or abandoned the city and fled, Chen Xuan and Manqiuchen saw the situation, they had already fled without a trace, and they captured Xiangguo in seven days. In order to prevent the soldiers from escaping, Manchuchen, who had fled to this place, had already controlled some of the soldiers' families to force the soldiers to resist the enemy. In the end, he had to shout under the city that the emperor was generous and benevolent, and if anyone came to surrender, he was not guilty; If you don't surrender, after the city is broken, the three tribes will be punished, and the food outside the city can be supplied, and when the food in the city is finally exhausted, it will be too late for the city to be broken and then surrendered. The soldiers looked at each other, regardless of the life and death of their families to surrender to Fan Xu, there was no one to guard the city, Manchuchen was originally threatened by the soldiers' families, and did not have the intention of killing all their families, and after the city was broken, Manchuchen had no time to order people to kill the soldiers' families, and he had already fled before Fan Xu entered the city. Fan Xu took the lead in the city, erected a large banner with the mighty 'Han' character written on the wall of Bairen County, and Fan Xu led the soldiers to stand on the city wall to announce that Bairen County was broken and recovered by the Han soldiers. After that, Fan Xu led the army to attack Qinghe County in the east, and worked together with Long Xihou Zhou Zao, first under Wei County and then under Guangzong, and finally joined together to break through Qinghe City, and erected a 'Han'-shaped banner at the head of the city, announcing that Qinghe County was recovered. Fan Hao and Zhou Zao then followed Nangong, Xinhe, Ningjin, and Zhaoxian all the way to recover dozens of cities, and it was already a cold December 5th when they arrived at Dongyuan.

Dongyuan City is particularly cold, Liu Bang, who has already arrived in Dongyuan City for half a month, is miserable, when Fan Xu and Zhou Zao attacked Xiangguo and Qinghe, Liu Bang personally led the army to attack Dongyuan City, but he could not capture it for a long time, and Li Shang and Guan Ying could not come up with a good idea. That Zhao Li seemed to hate Liu Bang the most in his life, Shengsheng increased the city three zhang high, dug the moat two zhang deep, and Liu Bang set up a position at the head of the city, but did not fight with Liu Bang head-on, Zhao Li knew that Liu Bang led the troops to come to seek a quick victory, but Zhao Li preferred to fight a protracted war with him, only held the city and did not fight, knowing that Liu Bang could not attack in, Zhao Li went back to the tent and fell asleep, no matter how Liu Bang's soldiers shouted under the city, Zhao Li only ordered the left ear to go in and out of the right ear, that is, not to fight. Liu Bang had no choice, so he sent people to scold Zhao Li and his soldiers under the city every day, but Zhao Li's soldiers became interested instead, and the hippie smiling faces in the city also began to verbally fight back, and their mouths were actually scolding and writing unbearable words about Liu Bang, and even Liu Bang's private life was turned out and scolded, such as "Liu Ji's old thief is jealous by nature, and he can't allow his courtiers to surpass" "Liu Ji is dissolute by nature, and when he married his daughter-in-law, he gave his daughter-in-law a teenage grandson" "When he married his daughter-in-law, he would loot the beauty of the village when he walked through a village and a village", "Kill the minister Wei Bao and occupy the Wei Concubine Bo clan" Insulting Zhao Wang Zhang Ao, fortunate Zhao Concubine Zhao Nu, really Weng snatching his son-in-law's wife' and other filthy words all entered Liu Bangzun's ears, and at that time, Liu Bang's seven orifices were smoked, and he couldn't wait to put on bird wings and fly to the city, grab the soldiers who insulted him, and slap him two hundred times until his face was swollen and died, and Liu Bang would laugh.

So Liu Bang led the army to storm Dongyuan City, but if he didn't conquer, he camped ten miles away and rested for a day, and discussed countermeasures to attack again, but he still couldn't resist. At this time, the spies came to report that Wang Huang led some of the soldiers to flee to the northwest, and it was Hou Chang who was stationed in Qu Rebellion at this time, Liu Bang thought about it for a while, and felt that Wang Huang either went back to save Dai Di, or entered Hu to ask for help, both of which were unfavorable to Liu Bang, so he ordered Guan Ying to lead his troops to Qu Rebellion alone, and took advantage of Wang Huang's rescue troops to capture Qu Rebellion City first. Some of the soldiers led by Liu Bang were taken away by the baby, and the number of soldiers became more and more reduced, but seeing that Dongyuan City was not damaged at all, Liu Bang temporarily returned to the camp to think about countermeasures. Dongyuan City was not captured, but there was good news from elsewhere, first, Guo Meng and Qi Guo Cao Shen attacked Zhang Chun, who had destroyed half of Liaocheng, and beheaded more than 10,000 people; First, Zhou Zao and Fan Xu have recovered dozens of counties in Qinghe County, and the city in the south of Dongyuan has been completely recovered. Just when Liu Bang was happy, Fan Xu's voice was heard outside the tent, "Your Majesty, Fan Hao is coming, are you welcome?" "If you don't see him, ask him first. Liu Bang was overjoyed, and hurriedly got up to greet him, and Fan Hao was standing outside the tent in armor and laughing, Liu Bang happily welcomed Fan Hao into the big tent, and first instructed the attendant to bring the copper furnace to warm up Fan Xu.
