Xiang Liang because of Xiang Yan's fame, so the news of his crossing the river spread to Huaiyin City like thunder, and the people cheered, thinking that the sky was about to change. At this time, Han Xin, who disappeared from people's sight, reappeared, and frequently walked around the city, it seemed that he had encountered something good. It turned out that Han Xin was also very excited when he heard that Xiang Liang had crossed the river, and he also knew that Xiang Liang must have a strong appeal, and he also had a premonition that the moment of earth-shaking was coming, so he was actively preparing. During this period of time, Han Xin has worked hard to realize the lofty ideals of life, he must be a big man, he wants to be a general, he wants to command thousands of troops and horses, he wants to gallop thousands of miles, he wants to be famous. Thinking of this, Han Xin resolutely decided to join the army.

On this day, he wandered around Huaiyin City at will, and finally came to the shop of the butcher who had let him drill his crotch ten days ago, he deliberately looked inside, and when he saw that the butcher happened to be inside, he let out a very contemptuous laugh that made it difficult for the butcher to guess. When the butcher suddenly saw Han Xin's appearance, he was shocked, he felt inexplicable, thinking that Han Xin was coming to take revenge, and he felt frightened in his heart. But when he saw that Han Xin didn't stay and left, he hurriedly walked out to take a look, and followed him all the way. I saw Han Xin striding away from Huaiyin City and walking proudly along the Huai River. He didn't know why this poor boy was so good today, did he find some backer, or did he find a helper to come to him to settle accounts? The butcher pondered repeatedly, but he was so nervous that when he slept at night, he held a pig-killing knife, for fear that Han Xin would suddenly break into the door with someone and chop off his head. This is really: the gentleman is frank, and the villain is a relative.

After Xiang Liang crossed the river, Guangling looked at the wind and fell, and the army marched forward. One day, Xiang Liang saw many people coming towards them, running in the opposite direction to them, and he was very curious, so he stopped a few people and asked the reason. The people all replied: "Now that there is going to be a war, I heard that the county order of Dongyang County is very good to the people, so we went to him, hoping to get his protection." Xiang Liang heard that there was such a good county magistrate, so he asked his name. The people said, "His name is Chen Ying, and he is a loyal elder." Xiang Liang nodded secretly when he heard this, and then sent someone to Dongyang County to contact Chen Ying.

It turned out that this person named Chen Ying turned out to be the Lingshi of Dongyang County, since Chen Sheng's uprising, the three old heroes in the county actually connived at some of their children to kill the county order, and then elected Chen Ying as the leader to ask him to respond to the uprising. But Chen Ying was not enthusiastic about this leader, so everyone forced him to do it. Chen Ying had no choice but to agree first. But his mother said, "Son, since I married into your Chen family, I have never heard of your family's ancestors having a nobleman, and now you suddenly get such a big name, this is not auspicious!" I heard that Xiang Liang is the son of Xiang Yan, and his army has crossed the river, so you should contact him as soon as possible and be his subordinate. So that it is done, and you can be a marquis; If it doesn't work out, can you still evade responsibility, because you are not the object of the world's attention? Chen Ying listened to her mother's words and said, "What my mother said is very reasonable. While he was talking, someone suddenly came in to report that Xiang Liang's messenger had arrived. When Chen Ying heard this, he was really overjoyed, so he hurriedly let the messenger in.

When the envoy saw Chen Ying, he said that General Xiang Liang wanted to join forces with him and go north together. Chen's mother said happily: "It's better to rush early than to catch up, my son belongs to him quickly, right?" Chen Ying listened to his mother's advice and said to his subordinates: "The Xiang family has been a general for generations, and its name has shocked the Chu country. Chu and Qin have been feuding since ancient times, so the Qin State will definitely perish? Everyone agreed to Chen Ying's suggestion. Chen Ying then sent an envoy to greet Xiang Liang warmly. After Xiang Liang got Dongyang, he wanted to worship Chen Ying as a general. But Chen Ying said: "I am just a civilian official, and I will not lead troops to fight." Xiang Liang said: "Then how about you go to Wuzhong to serve as the county guard of Huiji, develop the rear of the Chu army, and build a strong and wealthy base for our Chu people?" Chen Ying felt that this was a good errand, and the profession was also very appropriate, so he said modestly: "This errand can barely be competent!" Xiang Liang was overjoyed. Chen Ying took a group of civil officials and prepared to leave for Wu County to take office. Before leaving, he handed over all the soldiers and horses to Xiang Liang, and he only took a few dozen followers with him. Xiang Liang was overjoyed, and from then on handed over the development of the rear to Comrade Chen Ying, and led the army to continue north. When the army came to Xutai, Xiang Liang ordered everyone to search for the ferry and prepare to cross the river. At this time, the people of Chu gathered in response.

One day, Xiang Liang came to the north of Xutai City, and he watched the large group of people crossing the river, and his heart was surging. At this time, Xiang Yu, Ji Bu, Zhong Liwu and others came over, and they took a jar of wine, saying that it was given to General Xiang by their fathers. Xiang Liang looked at the wine and said happily: "The kindness of the fathers and elders is really appreciated." Xiang Yu poured a full statue and toasted Xiang Liang: "Uncle, will you board the boat after drinking?" Xiang Liang took the wine, drank it all, and was about to board the ship. Suddenly, a sergeant came running and reported: "General, a man named Han Xin has come to join the army. Xiang Liang said Han Xin's name and said, "Let him come and see him." The sergeants led Han Xin to Xiang Liang. After Han Xin saw Xiang Liang, he kowtowed and bowed, and then stood up. Xiang Liang looked at Han Xin, and saw that he was of medium stature, very thin, and carrying a very conspicuous sword on his back, so he asked with concern: "Zhuangshi, you are very proficient in swordsmanship, right?" Han Xin asked and replied, "Back to the general's words, Han Xin knows a little about swordsmanship, but he is not proficient in it. Xiang Liang looked at Han Xin, who was yellow and thin, and felt pitiful in his heart, so he asked him casually: "Why do you want to join the army?" Han Xin said: "I want to be a general!" The crowd laughed. Xiang Liang said: "To be a general, you have to have military talents beyond ordinary people?" Han Xin said: "The general is right, you must have the ability to be invincible!" Xiang Yu said, "Then you can dance a few tricks and see how your swordsmanship is?" Han Xin saw that everyone wanted him to dance the sword, and he was not modest, so he immediately drew his sword and danced.

Han Xin danced a few moves, Xiang Yu couldn't hold it back, so he was about to make a joke with him, so he saw an opportunity, stepped forward and grabbed Han Xin's arms, and with a gentle push, Han Xin fell to the ground, and the sword slipped from his hand. This action caused a burst of laughter. Thanks to Xiang Liang is elder, he was afraid of hurting Han Xin's face, so he hurriedly said to Xiang Yu: "Yu'er, don't be rude to the righteous, although his swordsmanship is not as good as you, but this person is the same as you, and he also has the idea of being an enemy of ten thousand people, which is really commendable!" He is in the army with a sword today, and he can be called a strong man! As he spoke, he hurriedly stepped forward to help Han Xin, picked up the sword again, and handed it to him. At this time, Han Xin said: "I am not good at swordsmanship, which makes the generals laugh, but fighting depends on strategy, and you can't be an enemy of ten thousand people with swordsmanship alone!" As soon as these words came out, the whole army was shocked. It turned out that Xiang Yu was in front of him, and the soldiers knew that his swordsmanship was invincible, but now Han Xin said in front of him that he couldn't be an enemy of ten thousand people with swordsmanship alone. Everyone looked at Xiang Yu again.

Xiang Liang's true elder hurriedly said, "You just said that fighting a war depends on strategy, right?" Han Xin affirmed: "Yes, fighting a war depends on strategy. Xiang Liang was very happy and asked, "Do you know the art of war?" Han Xin said: "I understand, I have read all the famous military books in ancient times." Xiang Liang stepped forward and took Han Xin's hand cordially and said, "Young man, you can use it in my foot soldiers for the time being, if you really make meritorious contributions in the future, I will promote you to general." Han Xin happily agreed, and then walked into the middle of the procession, and crossed the river with the army.

Xiang Liang crossed the Huai River and continued to move forward, when suddenly someone came to report: "General, there is a big man with a group of men and horses blocking the way. Xiang Liang thought to himself, could it be the soldiers and horses of the Qin State, so he drove to the front of the team with a group of generals to take a look, only to see a man with a yellow face and broad cheeks, a short beard, holding a two-moon iron halberd, standing majestically under the banner of the door. Xiang Liang asked loudly: "Why do the strong men block the army?" The man said: "I am the Jiangyang thief in Peng Lize, I heard that there are many of you, and I came to ask for some entanglement!" Seeing this, Xiang Yu said: "We have just started our army, and we have not captured a single scum of the Qin army, but we have encountered a robber who does not know the height of the sky, is it strange?" He rushed to the front of the formation, shook the Canglong Qiankun Moon Swallowing Halberd in his hand, and said: "There are a lot of entanglements, I don't know if I agree to this?" The man said: "What an ignorant one! As he spoke, he clapped his horse and rushed up, raised the weapon in his hand high, and then said, "Young man, if you can parry me, I will obey you?" Xiang Yu smiled: "Old man, if you can stop me, I will also obey you, even if you come to get it!" The man said, "Okay, let's shoot at the same time." As he spoke, they each raised their halberds and struck at each other. I only heard the sound of the two people's weapons "clang", collided together, sparks splashed, and the sun also shone on the bright and shining weapons of the two, emitting a chilling light, and the people who bluffed were terrified.

Xiang Liang saw that the man's shot was really extraordinary, and shouted to stop. Xiang Yu and the man stopped the weapons in their hands. Xiang Liang asked: "May I ask the name of the strong man?" The man with the halberd replied loudly: "My name is Yingbu, because I have been punished by the Qin State, so the rivers and lakes call me Dubu." When we heard that General Xiang was coming, we came to greet him. I just wanted to test your strength just now, so I made a joke with you, please forgive General Xiang! As he spoke, he dismounted and greeted each other, and all the soldiers behind him also dismounted. Di Bu pointed to the man behind him who was holding the big Yue: "This is General Pu, known as 'General Pu' in the rivers and lakes, and he is my friend." He pointed to a scholar behind him: "This is my righteous brother, named Zhu Jian." We came from Chencheng specifically. After introducing it, he pointed at Xiang Yu and said, "I didn't expect this young general to be so extraordinary!" I have been wandering in the rivers and lakes for so many years, and I have never met such an opponent, are you the legendary son of the Xiang family - Xiang Yu? Xiang Yu said: "It's exactly below!" "Today is really an eye-opener, this is so that there are people outside the world, there is a sky outside the sky, admire, admire!" Xiang Liang was overjoyed, and also asked: "Didn't the strong man Mo go out of Xianyang in the past and kill the 'four sons of the royal family', a strong man?" Qianbu replied, "It's down!" Xiang Liang was overjoyed, so he got off the horse and met with Duo Bu and the others.

After seeing Xiang Liang, he told him how he met Lü Chen and how he occupied Chen Cheng, and said that they were sent by General Lü Chen to meet the army. Xiang Liang was very happy, so he met everyone one by one, and then said, "Why don't you tell General Lu Chen and discuss the strategy of attacking Qin together." "Huang Bu was overjoyed, so he immediately sent someone to invite General Lu." Xiang Liang named Yingbu as the left captain, Pu as the right commander, and Zhu Jian as the marching Sima, and the three of them served as the vanguard of the Qin invasion. The army then marched on Xiapi.

At this time, Han Xin was mixed in the middle of the team, and when he saw Xiang Liang attaching so much importance to these three people, he said to himself: "The boss only emphasizes martial arts, not Wentao; With only military generals and no scribes, I'm afraid such a person won't last long! Someone reported this to Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu was furious, so he called someone to arrest Han Xin and said: "You rat generation, you just came to the army, you dare to slander my uncle, I will kill you first!" With that, he raised his sword to kill Han Xin. It happened that Xiang Liang saw it and scolded loudly: "Nephew must not be rude!" He came to Xiang Yu's side, and when he asked about the situation, he smiled and said: "Since this person can say such a thing, he must have a grand strategy, and he will slowly verify it in the future." If you kill him now, you will hold back the heroes of the world. Besides, it is inauspicious for a new army to kill innocents first! Xiang Yu just stopped, but from then on, he became disgusted with Han Xin.
