Fan Hao briefly told Liu Bang about his difficult deeds of defeating Xiangguo, Bairen, and recovering Qinghe County with Zhou Zao, Liu Bang couldn't stop nodding his head, and patted Fan Hao on the back, "It's good, Fan Tuzi is very capable." Fan Xu smiled and immediately lost his lustre, "It's just that I couldn't catch Chen Xuan and Man Qiuchen." Liu Bang smiled and stroked his back to comfort, "Chen Xuan's life will belong to Tuzi sooner or later." After that, Liu Bang sighed, his face lost his smile, and he wilted in the banquet. Fan Hao asked Liu Bang why he sighed, and Liu Bang told Fan Hao that he had not been able to capture Dongyuan City for half a month. Fan Hao laughed and patted his chest and assured Liu Bang, "Brother Bang, don't worry, Tuzi will help you capture it in five days." There was arrogance and disdain between the words. Liu Bang didn't dare to be careless, he didn't believe Fan's words at all, he just shook his head and smiled, "If the city is not down in five days, I will see if you, the butcher, want to go home and do your old business." Fan Hao was so excited that he immediately became solemn, straightened his body and stared at Liu Bang with round eyes, and then said to Liu Bang, "Your Majesty, just wait for Fan Hao to attack the city, and the slaughter of livestock will not be about Fan Xu." Liu Bang took advantage of Fan Xu's words and slapped Gao Lang with one hand and shouted, "Okay, wait for your words." ”

Rest for an hour, Fan Xu led the troops to the outside of the Dongyuan City to secretly check the terrain, from a distance to see that the Dongyuan City is really indestructible, the soldiers on the head of the city are all full of bows aimed at the city, the city head is full of gravel, several zhang high city wall is splashed with sewage, you can think of the soldiers to the wall every day, the water just touched the wall and quickly froze, slippery can not hang anything, especially Zhao Li is stationed here, Fan Xu privately heard that Zhao Li knows the art of war, today I see the armament of Dongyuan City, I feel that Zhao Li is really worthy of his name, Suddenly, Fan Hao was somewhat shocked. When he returned to the barracks, he told Liu Bang what he saw, Liu Bang smiled bitterly and said that it was because of this that he could not attack for a long time, Liu Bang asked Fan Xu what method he had to attack the city, Fan Xu frowned and thought for a long time, and said that Zhao Li would not want to send troops to fight, Zhao Li would think that the emperor should only lead his troops from afar to fight quickly, so Zhao Li must hold a lasting strategy in his heart and not send troops. All the generals agreed with Fan's statement. Liu Bang felt that if he didn't go down to Dongyuan City, his heart would be like a stone blockage, and the Qinghe County of Xiangguo in the south had been recovered, and the Qu Wei in the north had also been recovered, and the cities in the north and south were all recovered by his generals.

The next day, Liu Bang and Fan Hao led 10,000 soldiers to attack the city, Liu Bang instructed Lu Shizhi and Xiahou Ying to take advantage of the entangled with the rebels in the city while he and Fan Hao led the army, Lu Shizhi and Xiahou Ying led another group to find the right time to destroy the city wall and attack the city gate, and Lu and Xiahou were both ordered to organize the army. As soon as Liu Bang's army arrived at the city, the soldiers in the city fired arrows in unison, although Liu Bang's army had a shield to protect itself but still killed and wounded, Fan Xu ordered to fire ten thousand arrows at the city wall, and instructed the trebuchet not far away to enter the battle, and the trebuchet threw the grass vine with fire wrapped in stones and threw it into the city, and suddenly the soldiers on the head of the city died tragically, and the fire in the city was everywhere. Lu Shizhi and Xiahou Ying led a group of soldiers to take advantage of the chaos to quickly push the crash car to the city wall, and in the future, they had time to open the city gate, but the soldiers were mostly killed by the gravel hanging at the head of the city, and Lu Shizhi was in danger of being stoned to death, but fortunately, Xiahou Ying pushed him to dodge. At this time, trebuchets were also used in the city, throwing into countless fire regiments in Liu Bang's camp, and the soldiers shouted and cried. Liu Bang's army under the city was in chaos, and it had long been out of line, Fan Hao tightly protected Liu Bangdong to hide in Tibet, wanting to attack but not approaching, wanting to go but not being reconciled. Liu Bang's army under the city and Zhao Li's army on the city confronted each other, and there were casualties on each other, Liu Bang saw that the soldiers were getting fewer and fewer, so he had to unwillingly order to return to the camp, and the siege failed again. Fan Hao didn't dare to say big things anymore, and couldn't raise his head in front of Liu Bang. After resting for two days, he attacked the city again but still returned in vain, but most of the dead and wounded, Liu Bang was angry and did not eat or drink. Some people on the left and right persuaded Liu Bang to call Zhang Liang, the military advisor guarding Handan, maybe he could come up with a way. Liu Bang's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly sent a general back to guard Handan on behalf of Zhang Liang, and drove Zhang Liang to Liu Bang's military camp near Dongyuan. As soon as Zhang Liang arrived, he followed Liu Bangfan to inspect Dongyuan City, but there was no other way to think about it all the way, it was no more snowy than Mayi, and it was impossible to attack Dongyuan with the method of breaking Mayi City. It doesn't work to bribe with financial resources, Dongyuan City is guarded by Zhao Li himself, and his subordinates are all directly subordinate to Zhao Li, all of them are loyal to Zhao Li and hate Liu Bang, the city gate is closed, and they can't get in if they want to bribe. Unless the fire attacks the gates, fear that there will be a fire inside. Suddenly, Zhang Liang's eyes lit up, and he had to attack with fire, so he told Liu Bang his thoughts, and Liu Bang immediately agreed to Zhang Liang's method.

When Liu Bang wanted to attack the city again, the news of the baby irrigation came from Qu Rebellion in the north, saying that Hou Chang's army had suddenly increased to 20,000, and the city would not be attacked for a few days, and he hoped that the emperor would send reinforcements. Liu Bang knew that Wang Huangding had gone to the Xiongnu to rescue the troops, and immediately ordered Jin She, who was with him to attack Dongyuan, to lead 40,000 troops of Qi, Chuyan, and Zhao Liangguo to assist Guan Ying and capture Qu Wei. Liu Bang wanted to let Guan Ying and Jin She besiege Qu Rebellion, and cut off the way to rescue the reinforcements of Dongyuan, and Dongyuan was isolated, so Liu Bang could slowly attack the city without any scruples about having reinforcements.

Liu Bang sorted out the remaining soldiers of more than 10,000 people to attack Dongyuan again, according to Zhang Liang's strategy in the Dongyuan City in the partial position of ambush hundreds of archers with Wangshan crossbows, Liu Bang ordered a deputy general to lead people under the cover of trebuchets and many archers to brave the danger of arrow rain and gravel to grab the Dongyuan city gate and set it on fire, the soldiers at the head of the city were nervous and exclaimed to put out the fire, but Zhao Li moved a mat to sit leisurely, and said, "Don't care, you continue to defend the city." The soldiers at the head of the city looked at each other, each worried that the city gate would be breached, but soon someone also set a fire in the gate, and the soldiers of Zhao Li immediately understood this move, and they all admired the wisdom of Zhao Li's soldiers. Originally, Zhao Li knew that Liu Bang's army would attack with fire, so he sent people to prepare licorice branches and other things in the city, and waited for the city to set fire, and sure enough, Liu Bang's army rushed to the city and set fire, although the city gate was burned through, but it was separated by two layers of fire and could not enter. Zhao Li leaned down to look at Liu Bang's army, but laughed arrogantly, "Ouch! You see that there are a lot of generals in this court, they are all fools with fat brains, do you know that you know the art of war? I'll play tricks on you about how Sun Wuzi sees the moves. Come on, attack, continue to attack. Haha-" Zhao Li's words provoked Liu Bang to jump like thunder, gritted his teeth, and a pair of fiery dragon eyes almost glared out, and scolded towards the city, "You Zhao Li!" As a Han people, but begging for Hu people, giving you five grains, but you are willing to eat the food of dogs and horses? Save your life, and eat meat when I break the city!" Zhao Li laughed loudly at the head of the city, but unexpectedly, an arrow flew and shot down the red tassel on Zhao Li's helmet, which frightened Zhao Li's face pale, and quickly retreated and hidden, and drummed the soldiers to shout and curse at Liu Bang together, and suddenly filthy words poured out from the mouths of many soldiers, "Liu Ji's erection!" If you take a wife, you will marry another man's wife. "Liu Jixiao'er, listen, the person who is a sixtieth birthday is not angry, the angry person is just a sixtieth birthday, now that you are a sixtieth year, beware of your life." "Dogs and horses understand human nature, but flying dragons are ruthless, and you will die if I wait for you to fall." …… A big rush flew into Liu Bang's ears, Liu Bangqi's chest ached, and the original arrow wound became more and more painful. Liu Bang's face turned pale, and he raised his hand slightly and instructed the soldiers, "Quick, let everyone take the wooden barrel on the car to extinguish the fire at the city gate, the water source in the city is still far away from the city gate, Zhao Li must not have imagined that I set the fire and poured the fire, and we can attack it after extinguishing the fire." Fan was overjoyed, and immediately ordered the soldiers to take out the wooden barrels covered on the car and scoop water on a tributary of the Hutuo River to extinguish the fire at the city gate, Liu Bang's soldiers poured water on the fire in less than two rounds, and they were wet by the soldiers at the head of the city, and suddenly it was frozen so that Liu Bang's soldiers shivered, and they no longer had the strength to lift water, and the fire was not extinguished, but was poured with water. Liu Bang was even more angry and stared at him speechlessly. Then Zhao Li hid at the head of the city and shouted to Liu Bang, "Don't you really know how the ice on the city wall came from?" I send troops to pour water and ice on the city walls every day, how can I not be prepared? Attack, attack, attack, continue to attack. There was arrogance and ridicule in and out of the words. Liu Bang really had no choice, seeing that Zhang Liang's method didn't work, Liu Bang pretended to be angry and returned home. Zhang Liang saw that the emperor was displeased and knew that the war was unfavorable, so he persuaded Liu Bang to take a long-term view. When Liu Bang came back that day, he got into the quilt and slept all day without eating or drinking, and no one was seen.

The next day, Liu Bang still wanted to sleep, Zhang Liang asked to meet the emperor three times because of the urgency, and Liu Bang reluctantly invited Zhang Liang to the tent. Liu Bang lit the stove listlessly without saying a word, and the atmosphere was dull. Zhang Liang pondered for a long time before mentioning someone to Liu Bang, "Your Majesty, why don't you find Qu to wait for Chen Ping?" This person has many scheming and ministers, may Your Majesty plan it. Liu Bang's eyes lit up, and he immediately had a look, but he forgot about Chen Ping, and Liu Bangxi hurriedly sent someone to find Chen Ping. Chen Ping immediately gave Liu Bang a deep look when he arrived at the account, and when he saw that Zhang Liang was also there, he also politely gave Zhang Liang a hand, and Zhang Liang smiled back. Liu Bang smiled and hurriedly asked Chen Ping to sit down, and told Chen Ping that he could not conquer Dongyuan City, and said that he hoped that Chen Ping would give advice and help him conquer Dongyuan. Chen Ping touched his scalp and squinted at Zhang Liang from time to time. Seeing this, Liu Bang looked at Zhang Liang and Chen Ping and asked, "Is it difficult for the prince?" Chen Ping smiled, "That's it, you have to know anyway, today I avoided Liuhou, tomorrow I still have to know, I just hope that Liuhou will not despise Chen's temperament, if not, Chen will never be willing to do that." Liu Bang and Zhang Liang both looked at each other, and Zhang Liang arched his hand to Chen Ping and said, "If it's beneficial to our army, why not?" Liu Bang eagerly asked Chen Ping, "The prince said it quickly, what a way to conquer Dongyuan and lay down Dongyuan, the prince has merit, who dares to despise the prince?" Chen Ping scratched his scalp, gritted his teeth and explained his method of beating Dongyuan to Liu Bang and Zhang Liang, both of them were surprised to see each other's eyes round, and the two shook their heads and nodded paradoxically in approval of Chen Ping's strategy. Because Chen Ping said that he didn't want to be underestimated by others, Liu Bang had to mumble in his heart, "good and vicious methods".

"Report-" Another battle report came from outside the tent, Liu Bang hurriedly called the messenger in, and the messenger immediately took out a roll of silk silk from his arms and respectfully handed it to Liu Bang. Liu Bang's 'whooping-' pulled away, but saw clouds on the silk: the minister's envoy made Zhang Sheng into the nonsense of Mo Zhu Chen Xuan, Sheng has not returned for a long time, the minister suspects that he has been connected with the Huns, and the minister asks to kill the family. Liu Bang closed the silk silk with a bang, sat back in the banquet with a black face, and opened the silk silk again and buried his head in writing: The three clans are all wiped out, and the ghost of the Zhang family will be forever. After stamping the seal on it, Liu Bang handed it over to the envoy and gritted his teeth and instructed, "Spread the word to Yan Wangjuan, and no one in the Zhang Sheng family will be left!" "The messenger immediately went north without stopping for a moment.

Zhang Liang and Chen Ping both asked Liu Bang what was angry, and Liu Bang sent Lu Juan to Zhang Shengjin to persuade the Huns Shan Yu Mo to help Chen Feng rebel but did not return for a long time, so Lu Juan suspected that Zhang Shengfu was even the Huns and Chen Xian, so he made the envoy go south to report the emperor's affairs one by one. Originally, Chen Xuan raised troops on behalf of the land, and after receiving Liu Bang's crusade against Chen Xuan, Lu Xuan, the king of Yan, immediately sent a general to lead 10,000 troops south to help the Han Dynasty, and Lu Xuan led more than 10,000 people to attack Chen Xuan in the northeast of Daidi. Wang Huang was worried that he would not win the Han Dynasty and withdrew from Qu Rebellion, and went all the way to Hu to ask the Huns to send troops to help, at this time Lu Juan also sent Zhang Sheng to make the Huns intent to persuade the Huns not to help Chen Xuan, but Zhang Sheng entered Hu for a long time and did not return, Lu Juan therefore suspected that Zhang Sheng was in line with the Huns, so he hurriedly sent the envoy south to see Liu Bang and asked to kill Zhang Sheng's family.

Seven days later, it was the end of a cold December. Liu Bang was reorganizing the army, and someone came to report that the infant leader had returned, and Liu Bang was shocked and hurriedly went to see the baby. Guan Ying is leading the soldiers to Liu Bang's military camp, Liu Bang came to Guan Ying like a gust of wind, without waiting for Liu Bang to speak, Guan Ying first arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, Qu Wei has been broken, General Jin She is guarding Qu Wei at this time, I heard that Dongyuan Yue Yue can not be attacked, so the minister will lead the army back to help you attack the city." Liu Bang was overjoyed, stroked his back and asked, "Is the rebellion really broken?" How many generals were captured, and how many cities were recovered? "Guan Ying Dao," the minister and General Jin Shu jointly attacked Qu Wei, killed the guard general Hou Chang and five special generals, and surrendered the five cities of Qu Wei, Lunu, Shangquyang, Anguo, and Anping. "Oh, General—" Liu Bang happily grabbed the baby's arm and said, "The general is hard, hurry up and go back to the camp with me to rest for two days." Liu Bang happily pulled the baby back to the camp to rest. Originally, when the infant led the troops to Qu Rebellion, there were only Hou Chang's 3,000 men and horses in the city to guard, and the infant ordered people to storm the city, but Hou Chang could not defend it. So many times, there is no way to irrigate the baby, and the probe said that Hou Chang's soldiers don't know when there are more of them, deep ditches and high bases. There are only a few thousand people and horses in the baby, and there are not many people left in the siege every day, there are four gates in the city of Qu Rebellion, there are four gates in the east, west, north and south, if the number of people is scattered and attacked, if the number of people who attack one door is not enough, if they gather together to attack one door, they can not be attacked, after many days of strong attack, the baby will send someone to report to Liu Bang, and Liu Bang will send Jin She to lead the five princes to assist the baby. After discussing with Jin She, Guan Ying divided into four ways to attack Hou Chang's soldiers, and the rest of the way were disguised as Hu soldiers to bypass Qu Wei, deliberately coming from the northwest direction, and when they arrived at the north gate, they spoke in a Hu accent and said that the Xiongnu Zuoxian King came to aid General Hou Chang, and the soldiers in the city saw that it was another way of reinforcements that arrived, and they didn't check it easily, so they easily believed them and let them enter the city. How can it be that at night, this army disguised as a Hu man soldier quietly went up to the city gate to assassinate unsuspecting soldiers, after all the soldiers were killed, this army pawn set fire to the city as a code, and has already opened the city gate, all the soldiers and horses outside the city entered the city, so the city shouted and shouted to kill, Hou Chang was awakened in his sleep, when he went out to see, he saw the city tower on fire, knowing that the infant army had entered the city, Hou Chang suddenly panicked, and hurriedly asked people to find horses to run, but the infant general had already ridden in and shot an arrow through the heart and lungs to Hou Chang, Suddenly, Hou Chang whimpered. After Hou Chang's death, the rest of the guards who knew that the city gate was lost saw that they could not escape from the city and fought hard, but they were outnumbered and were hacked to death by the infantile and Jin She's soldiers in the chaos.

Liu Bang said with a smile, "Just count the princes, you attack the city quickly, and in less than a month, you will go against the rebellion, this is Chen Ping and Chen Gong's food, and Chen Gong wants to thank General Guan." Liu Bang joked at Chen Ping. Chen Ping smiled and waved his hand at Guan Ying, "Chen Ping thanked General Guan." "Fill the baby and hurry back," Chen Gong smiled. ”
