The news of Zhang Han's southward journey reached Mengxian County, and Zhou Bo immediately reported it to Pei Gong. When Pei Gong heard the report, he thought that Zhang Han had come to avenge Sima Yi, and hurriedly discussed with Zhang Liang. Zhang Liang said without thinking: "Zhang Han and Wei are fighting in Waihuang, and now they are suddenly going south, I don't know what the reason is?" However, the situation is urgent, and all the soldiers and horses from all places should be recalled to Peixian, and then General Xiang Liang should be informed, and he should be asked to go north to fight Zhang Han. Pei Gong listened to Zhang Liang's advice, immediately sent people to withdraw the soldiers and horses from all places, and then sent people to report the situation to Xiang Liang, and then strengthened the defense and prepared for battle.

Zhang Han came to the territory of Xiangyi, he inspected the terrain here, and thought that it was a very favorable place for ambushes, so he asked Dong Peng to lead 50,000 Qin soldiers and 5,000 crossbowmen to ambush them, and when Wei Bao chased after them, he would completely annihilate the Wei army here. The remaining soldiers and horses were divided into two routes: one was led by Sima Xin to Mengxian. When Sima Xin came to Mengxian, Zhou Bo had already withdrawn, so he continued to move forward, and soon occupied Yuxian County, and then advanced to Xiayi. And the army led by Zhang Han, with his younger brother Zhang Ping as the vanguard, rushed to Suiyang, and the road was also unimpeded, and the forward soon hit Li County, and the entire southeast was shaken.

At this time, Xiang Liang sent Zhong Liwu and Ji Bu to Huling City, and saw that Qin Jia was in retreat and did not dare to fight, so Zhong Liwu ordered the siege of the city. The two sides fought for a day and a night, and the morale of the Xiang army was high, while Qin Jia's army was not ambitious, and the Xiang army quickly broke through the city. After Zhong Liwu and Ji Bu entered the city, they went straight to find Qin Jia. Qin Jia had nowhere to go, and after a fierce battle, Qin Jia was killed by Zhong Liwu and Ji Bu, and the rest of the generals all surrendered. This is really ridiculous when the mantis arm is used as a car, and it will be ruined and destroyed. There were many generals who surrendered, including Yu Fanjun, Zhu Jishi, Zheng Bu, Ding Ji, etc.

After the battle, Zhong Liwu led the surrendered generals to Liucheng to meet Xiang Liang. Xiang Liang was magnanimous, regardless of his previous suspicions, and left them all in front of the account to listen. At this moment, Pei Gong's messenger also arrived in Liucheng. When Xiang Liang heard that Zhang Han was attacking, he said to Zhu Jishi and Yu Fanjun: "I heard that you two are very brave, and now that Zhang Han is suddenly attacking, you have the right to go to Xiayi to resist the vanguard of the Qin army, and I will send a large army to meet it later." Zhu Jishi and Yu Fanjun didn't dare to disobey, so they accepted the order and led the team to set off.

Wei Bao, the general of the Wei army, who was far away, heard that Zhang Han had really left, so he happily sent someone to report to the king of Wei. When the king of Wei heard that Zhang Han's army had indeed fled without a trace, he said to Wang Weiguo very happily: "Wang Aiqing, what you said is really right, Zhang Han is really afraid of the prime minister!" When the ministers heard that the Qin army had really withdrawn, they all flattered and praised Prime Minister Zhou together. Only Chen Ping was silent. A few days later, Zhou Shi sent someone to ask the king of Wei for instructions, and the letter said:

The Qin general Zhang Han's entire army fled into the desert, and if the Wei army could attack on all fronts, it would be able to completely destroy the Qin army. If Zhang Han is defeated, the Wei army can advance westward, and when the Qin Emperor is captured, the king's hegemony will be completed. Now the soldiers are ready to pursue Zhang Han, just waiting for the king's order, the Wei army will make a contribution.

When the king of Wei read the letter, he was really overjoyed, and told the ministers that the prime minister was going to send troops to pursue the Qin army. All the officials agreed to pursue Zhang Han and eliminate the Qin army in one fell swoop, only Chen Ping resolutely disagreed, so he stepped forward and said: "King, the prime minister persuaded the Wei army to pursue Zhang Han, this matter must not be!" The king of Wei asked why. Chen Ping generously stated: "The Wei State is located at the top of the world, and the geographical location is very important, so Zhang Han's intention is definitely to capture the Wei State, and this idea will not change." He is leaving suddenly now, maybe there is another reason, please send someone to investigate before making a decision! King Wei said: "The Qin army retreated, this must be to see that our bone can't be gnawed, so they will go to deal with the Chu people." The widow heard that Liu Bang of Pei County had just obtained Fengyi from us, and Xiang Liang of Jiangdong had merged with Jingju again. Zhang Han went south at this time, it must be because he wanted to clean up the mess in Chudi. And if our army suddenly pursues, it will definitely be able to destroy the Qin army, this is an excellent opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and it must not be missed. Chen Ping said: "It is not easy for us to build the Waihuang camp, now that the wings have been formed, we should continue to hold on, and the armies of Qi and Zhao have not arrived, and Zhang Han is a very deep general, so the Wei army should stick to it, and must not take the risk of attacking, otherwise it will definitely be plotted by Zhang Han!" King Wei sneered: "What you said is not right! Zhang Han attacked Waihuang, and he didn't take it down for a month, and now as soon as the prime minister arrived at the front line, he was scared away, which shows that the prime minister is also very good at using soldiers, maybe his prestige shocked Zhang Han. If we don't destroy the Qin army at this time, when will we wait? If we wait until the armies of Zhao and Qi arrive, they won't be able to show the strength of our Wei people? If you want to build the merits of the five tyrants, you shouldn't rely on others for everything, don't say it anymore! Chen Ping also wanted to persuade him, but the king of Wei asked Chen Ping to go to Humu to recruit new soldiers on the grounds that the supply of troops was insufficient. Chen Ping knew that this meant to drive him away, so he didn't say anything, so he solemnly bid farewell to King Wei, and then went out of the palace gate. Chen Ping sighed very sadly: "It is really too difficult for a scholar to establish a meritorious career, and it is difficult to meet a talented and intelligent master!" Without hesitation, he ran towards the household.

After Chen Ping left, the King of Wei issued an order to Wei Bao, agreeing to pursue the Qin army and eliminate Zhang Han. Wei Bao and Zhou Shi led the Wei army to attack on all fronts, and an army of 100,000 followed Zhang Han. As a result, the Wei army was suddenly attacked by the Qin army in Xiangyi, and the 100,000 Wei army was completely annihilated, and Zhou Shi was almost shot dead in the fierce battle. General Wei Bao and the lieutenant generals desperately protected Zhou Shi and escaped from the siege and fled back to Waihuang. At this time, Dong Fei had also attacked the city, and Waihuang had already been occupied by the Qin army. When Zhou Shi got the news, he screamed, and a mouthful of blood spit out of his mouth, and he fell out of the car. At this time, Dong Peng led the Qin army out of Outer Yellow City. The Wei army hurriedly rescued the prime minister, and everyone fled to Linji.

The Qin general Sima Xin captured Mengxian and Yu County, and marched to Xiayi, the army had already arrived in Xiayi, at this time I heard that Xiayi City had been occupied by Xiang Liang's army, so he went straight to the city to challenge. Zhu Jishi and Yu Fanjun discussed, Zhu Jishi defended the city, and Yu Fanjun went to battle. As a result, Yu Fanjun was killed by Sima Xin, and Zhu Jishi did not dare to fight again, so he hurriedly abandoned the city and fled. Sima Xin occupied Xiayi City.

Zhang Han was in Tunzha in Li County and sent his younger brother Zhang Ping to attack Dangxian County. At this time, Cao Shen had also withdrawn to Pei County, and Zhang Ping also occupied an empty city. Zhang Han saw that the purpose of the feint attack had been achieved, and at this time he received a report from Dong Peng, saying that the Qin army had defeated the Wei army in one fell swoop and also occupied Waihuang. Zhang Han was overjoyed when he saw that the north and south roads had all won, so he said with confidence: "I feinted to attack Chu just to lure the Wei army to fight, and the Wei army really hit the plan." Now that the 100,000 Wei army has been wiped out, it is really gratifying! Thinking that Liang and Liu Bang may be vulnerable, the southeast half of the wall is not to worry about, I should go all out to deal with Wei Jiao! He immediately sent someone to convey the order to Sima Xin and Zhang Ping. Sima Xin received Zhang Han's order in Xiayi, and said with great admiration: "General Zhang Han is really like a god with soldiers!" He sang a song of triumph and came to Li County. Zhang Ping also returned. Zhang Han met with everyone, and then led the victorious army to continue to kill the Wei State.

After Xiang Liang sent Zhu Jishi and Yu Fanjun to attack the Qin army, he sent Xiang Yu as the main general, Huan Chu and Yu Ying as deputy generals, and rushed to Xiayi to fight. But when Xiang Yu came to Xiayi, the Qin army had already withdrawn. Xiang Yu reported to his uncle. Xiang Liang heard that Zhang Han had withdrawn so quickly, so he reorganized his team and prepared to go north. When the people who stayed in the city heard that Xiang Liang was leaving, they all came together to say to him: "The country cannot be left without an owner for a day!" The general raised troops in Jiangzuo, and King Chen has named you the upper residence country, and now King Chen is dead, and the general led the children of Jiangdong to sweep the Jiang and Huai, and its power is unstoppable, plus the general is the son of Xiang Yan, and the fame is well known in the sea, you should be enthroned as the king of Chu, and then call on the people to continue to crusade against the unruly Qin State! Xiang Liang was very shocked when he heard everyone's words, so he said: "My ancestors have been courtiers of the Chu State for generations, how can they usurp the throne?" You can't just talk about it, or I'll be like King Chen, and I won't end well. But the fathers and elders insisted: "If the general does not establish a king, it will be unjustified and unsatisfactory to attack the Qin State, and besides, all the soldiers do not know who to fight for?" Please general, or agree to be the king of Chu, right? Xiang Liang listened to everyone's words, hesitated in his heart, and temporarily stopped going north. A few days later, military scouts came to report that the Qin army had broken the Wei army in Xiangyi, and that the Qin army had gone south only to lure the Wei army. Now that Zhang Han has won a complete victory, he will go to attack Wei again.

Xiang Liang heard that Zhang Hansheng was attacking the east and west, and he was very good at using soldiers, so he asked the strategist Shenmu what he should do now. Sammu said: "Zhang Han defeated Wei Bao's army, he must attack Linji." Taking this opportunity, we really have to consider what the fathers and elders said, the general should first find a way to establish the power of the Chu State, and with the political power, the people's hearts will be stable! Xiang Liang listened to Sammu's strategy and prepared to summon all the generals from outside to discuss the establishment of the regime. Sammu said: "After this war, the houses and buildings have been destroyed, and they can no longer continue to be the capital. I heard that Xue County, which is not far from here, has a high city and solid walls, and is adjacent to the Qi State, which is a very safe place, if you gather all the people and horses to Xue County, things will definitely go well. Xiang Liang issued an order, calling on all the rebel generals in Chu to go to Xue County for a gathering.

Zhu Jishi suffered a defeat in Xiayi, and he didn't dare to see Xiang Liang, so he plundered the people all the way, and he still had a lot of resistance to Xiang Liang in his heart. Later, when he heard that Xiang Liang called on all the people to gather in Xue County, he hesitated to come to report. Xiang Liang learned of Zhu Jishi's situation, and said very angrily: "When you saw the Qin army, you abandoned the city and fled, and you didn't come back to report the defeat, and you plundered the people everywhere, ruining my reputation. How will someone like you become a general in the future? "Just kill Zhu Jishi. Those generals of the Chu army who had just surrendered did not dare to have two hearts from now on.

When the news of the defeat of the Wei army reached Linji, the king of Wei was feasting with his ministers. Suddenly, I heard that the general and the prime minister were ambushed by the Qin army in Xiangyi, and the whole army was annihilated. King Wei suddenly fell to the ground and convulsed, foaming at the mouth and turning pale. After everyone woke him up, King Wei lay on the royal couch and couldn't get up. When he came to his senses, he immediately asked people to arrest Wang Weiguo. But the people who went came back to report that Wang Weiguo had long since disappeared. The king of Wei wailed: "The villain has misled the country! Where's my Mrs. Chen? Go and get him back? Finished! Finished! When Wei Bao and Zhou Shi fled to Linji City and saw the King of Wei, the King of Wei was furious and said, "You two are going to hunt down Zhang Han? Where is Zhang Han's head? The two wept bitterly and recounted in detail what had happened to them when they were ambushed. King Wei angrily scolded Zhou Shi and said, "It's all your bad idea!" If Chen Ping's strategy is used, how can he lose? Yes? You! What kind of face do you have to meet Lonely? With that, he smashed the teacup in front of Zhou Shi.

Zhou Shi had no place to be ashamed, so he had to lie on the ground and ask for death. King Wei said: "What's the use of killing you now?" You go to Humu Township and invite Mrs. Chen's servant back to Gu, go quickly! Get lost! Wei Bao said in fear: "King, Zhang Han is chasing after him, they have already occupied Waihuang, and the minister is worried that the prime minister has not yet reached Humu, and Linji City will be surrounded by Zhang Han!" The King of Wei was furious and said: "If you don't come to Mrs. Chen, go to Qi and Chu for help, otherwise don't come to see Gu again!" Zhou Shi had no choice but to agree and retreat. King Wei reprimanded Wei Bao again. Wei Bao kowtowed like pounding garlic, and said: "The prime minister is almost mentally deranged because of the defeat, let him go to Qi and Chu for help, I'm afraid it will delay things." The king should send someone else for help? In addition, the two generals Wu Pu and Huang Xin were recalled. As long as we stick to Linji City, Zhang Han has no way to take us! The king of Wei immediately sent people to summon Wu Pu and Huang Xin back to defend the capital, and sent people to the states of Qi and Chu for help.
