Besides, Qin II went out to hunt and returned to the palace one day, and all the palace concubines welcomed in, and the second rested in the palace. At this time, the concubine of the first palace asked the envoy in a low voice: "How is the news outside today?" The envoy said: "I heard that Zhang Han led the troops to defeat nine times in a row, and the soldiers were 300,000 soldiers, and the Chu soldiers passed the pass in a few days, I don't know what to do!" When the second emperor heard this, he hurriedly called the envoy of the palace who spoke, and asked, "What did you just say?" The two of them wept in front of the second and said: "Today, the princes are very chaotic, Zhang Han folded 300,000 soldiers, and the Qin land was soon seized by the Chu soldiers, and the ministers died without a burial place!" The second exclaimed, "How do you know?" Everyone said: "Everyone inside and outside knows it, but Your Majesty is deceived by Zhao Gao and doesn't know it!" The second urgently summoned Zhao Gao and scolded: "You are the prime minister, you are in charge of everything, no matter how big or small, the day before yesterday deceived and killed Li Si; Today's army is defeated and the world is in chaos. The country is in danger, why don't you play me and only deceive me all day long? Sin deserves to be killed! Zhao Gao bowed his head and said: "Although the minister is a prime minister, he only serves His Majesty in charge of internal affairs." If the thieves are recruited, but the generals Zhang Han, Wang Li and others are now sending people to ask Zhang Han about the crime of slowing down the army, and then send the generals to recruit them, it will be fine. The momentum outside is just someone else's legend, and Zhang Han has no report, why does Your Majesty listen to the words of the palace eunuch, but blame Wei Chenye angrily? And Zhang Han and other mourners provoked a little indefinitely, which caused the vibration of the foreign pass, and the fate of the crime should be given death. Today, the general will be elected to conquer on his behalf, which will be convenient and beneficial. "II quasi-play. Zhao Gao ordered his nephew Zhao Chang to be the envoy and recalled Zhang Han and others to ask questions.

At this time, someone came to the newspaper Hand: "Zhao Gao's dictatorship was deceived inside and outside, because the second accused him of the crime of deception, Zhao Gao suspected that he was going to kill the general, and now he has detained the three families. Zhang Han was shocked when he heard this: "There are strong rivals inside and outside, how to distinguish between the dilemmas?" Then Dong Peng and others will consider it in the long run. Dong Fei said: "Zhao Gao's scheming is the most difficult to measure, and in a word, Li Siyi is a clan. If we are angry now, we will be poisoned. Before the words were finished, angel Zhao Chang had already arrived at the camp. The generals greeted the edict, and Zhao Chang went to the camp to read it, and the edict said:

The orders of the conquest are all from the Son of Heaven, and the real master is Yuanrong. Meritorious achievements, megatrons in the sea, Bike Naiji, deputy commission. Er Zhanghan and other commanders of the army were humiliated by the conscription and loss of their divisions, and they dared to return without a decree, and the distinction between the upper and lower levels was a betrayal. Today, Zhao Chang will be detained, and there is still discretion to tie his neck to see him, and he will not be punished for the crime of disobedience. Only the edict is carried out!

Zhang Han was furious when he heard the edict, and grabbed Zhao Chang with all the generals, and shouted: "We are stubborn and stubborn, how much hardship we have suffered in our lives, and I fought nine battles with the Chu people before, and I didn't sleep for several days and nights, and I couldn't eat a meal every day. Rather than die with the mission, it is better to kill the mission and hate. After speaking, he drew his sword and wanted to kill Zhao Chang.

Chen Xi said: "No! In the past, Bai Qi was a Qin general, attacking Yan and Ying in the south, and killing horses and robberies in the north, attacking countless cities and conquering cities, and finally being given death. Meng Tian was a general of Qin, chased the Xiongnu in the north, opened up a region of thousands of miles in Yuzhong, and finally beheaded Yang Zhou. Why? There were too many merits, and Qin couldn't seal them according to their merits, so he fabricated charges to kill them. Now the general has been a Qin general for three years, and the loss of soldiers is 100,000; And the vassal armies rose more and more at the same time. Zhao Gao has always been flattering for a long time, and the current situation is critical and he is afraid that the second emperor will kill him, so he plans to kill the general to shirk his responsibility. Besides, the sky is going to die, and all the smart and stupid people know it. Now the general can't speak out at home, and the general is isolated outside, so it's not sad to want to exist! Why didn't the general turn against the princes from all walks of life, sign a peace treaty to attack Qin together, and cut the land to sit for the king to the south, which one is better than the killing of his wife in the anvil? ”

After hearing this, Zhang Han said to Chen Xi: "Although Jun's words are reasonable. But I don't know where to invest? Chen Xi said: "Most of the new establishments of other countries are suspicious and cannot be attached, but General Chu's achievements covered the world at that time, and he also had a strong army and a strong general, although the princes of the great countries also saw it on their elbows, I know that he will destroy Qin one day, and Chu will also." The public should vote for Chu, and do not lose the honor of the king. Zhang Han said: "I killed Xiang Liang and Chu have a grudge, how can General Chu tolerate me?" Chen Xi said: "I talked to General Chen about convenience, and Xiang Yu decided to follow his discussion." Zhang Han said: "Zi Xiang said, I am waiting for my life." ”

Chen Xi then went to the Chu camp to ask to see the marshal, and Xiang Yu said: "Let him come in!" Chen Xi entered the camp, and after seeing the ceremony, Xiang Yu said: "What do you want?" Zhang Han made you a lobbyist? Chen Xi said: "General Zhang has worked hard for three years, experienced a hundred battles, held the army for a long time, and it is difficult to repay Qin, but Zhao Gaori is the prime minister, and now he is willing to obey the general and become the king's business." His soldiers are also like a child's parents, I don't know what to think? Xiang Yu was furious, and shouted: "Zhang Han killed my Ji father, a thousand years of hatred for a hundred years, and he is about to cut off his head to vent his hatred for drowning, how can he be attached to me?" Chen Xi sneered. Fan Zeng said: "King Xiang is very powerful, and those who hold troops for a long time and are not allowed to enter the customs will be fenced by Qin with Zhanghan." Today, Zhang Han is the second Zhao Gao suspicious, and now he sent the envoy to give death and persecution is very urgent, Zhang Hanjin has nowhere to retreat and no return, and he has no choice but to attach himself to the general when he is in a dilemma. If the general does not remember the old hatred, caress it with kindness, and ties it with righteousness, he will be grateful for the picture, although he will go to the fire and be used by the general. The ancients said, 'Three armies are easy to obtain, but one general is hard to find.' Heaven does not take it, but suffers from it. 'The general should forget the small feud and become a big plan, and the heroes of the world are also. Xiang Yu said: "The words of the military advisor are honest and accurate. I have a grudge with Zhang Han to kill Ji's father, and I can't afford to surrender, but I don't have a grudge against the country and employing people; Ji's father's hatred is the selfishness of one person, and the country's employment of the world's public is also, how can it be just a matter of revenge and forget to use people's justice? If Zhang Han has a heart for me, let me avoid the old anger and allow him to surrender. After he destroyed Qin, wealth should be shared. ”

Chen Xi received the order to reply to Zhang Han. Zhang Han said: "According to the words of the son, I should surrender, but I am afraid that Fan will increase his plot, or tempt me to return to Chu and cause harm, which will be contrary to his plan." The Son can go back to explore the truth and the false. Chen Xi went to Chuzhai to see Xiang Yu and said: "Zhang Han wants to surrender, but I am afraid that the general will still miss the old hatred and throw himself into the trap." Xiang Yu said: "The husband's words are as heavy as Mount Tai. If you want to kill Zhang Han, is there no other way? If you trap and kill him, who will dare to come to Yah in the future? Xiang Yu folded the arrow and swore to Chen Xi. Chen Xi came to see Zhang Han with a broken arrow, and said that General Xiang was so righteous. Zhang Han was overjoyed, so he raised the tent and took out Zhao Chang's beheading to show the public. Then he led 100,000 soldiers and horses to Zhangnan.

Xiang Yu divided Zhang Han and others into the meeting. Zhang Han sobbed and told Yu: "Zhang Han because of Zhao Gao's slander, the second did not send rescuers, and issued an edict to detain the old and young, and we were forced to have nowhere to stay, and now we are looking up to the general like a baby looking at my parents." However, because of the selfishness of the Dingtao march in the past, there was a crime of hurting and respecting the public and deserving of death. Today, he is forgiven from sins and grace with heaven and earth, and he dares to do his best to repay the service in order to make small contributions, report the grace of the general not to kill, and the hatred of the ministers who slander and kill. Fortunately, the inclusion is driven by Ren. Xiang Yu soothed: "Since you are destined to me, I will be reused in the future, and it is advisable to serve the country loyally and not have different thoughts." After the destruction of Qin, the wealth and nobility were shared. "Zhang Han bowed his thanks, and the Qin soldiers all kowtowed. Xiang Yu immediately ordered Sima Xin to be the general, and ordered him to lead more than 20 Qin soldiers as the forerunner, and set up Zhang Han to stay in the camp for King Yong. He led the Chu army and 400,000 soldiers from various countries to advance according to the journey, and there was a great earthquake in Guanzhong.

The Hangu Pass guard reported Pegasus to Xianyang, said that Zhang Han killed the mission, led 100,000 troops to Chu, and this Xiang Yu commanded the troops to meet the princes and attack the Hangu Pass 100,000 urgently. Zhao Gaojian killed his nephew, and had to play Zhi II. The second was furious, so Zhang Han and others razed all the old and young families in Xianyang City.

Someone reported to Zhang Han and other generals, saying that the three families were all in the city. Zhang Han and the others cried loudly. came to tell Xiang Yu that he wanted to lead the troops to kill the Zhanghe River, and went to Xin'an and Mianchi, and Qin Ke broke it. Xiang Yu asked Fan Zeng to discuss, and Fan Zeng said: "The soldiers of the Qin State are strong and the people are rich, and the enemy cannot be underestimated. It is better to go back to see King Huai to establish a foundation, rest and recuperate the soldiers and horses, accumulate grain and grass, and then march in two ways is the best policy. Xiang Yu ordered the army to set off according to his words and returned to Pengcheng to meet King Huai. King Huai said: "The general commanded the army far away and made great achievements, and after breaking the Qin, the honor should not be polished with gold and stone." Xiang Yu led all the princes and sent generals Zhang Han and others to meet King Huai. Huai Wang was overjoyed, and paid a large row of feasts to reward the army, and named Xiang Yu as the Duke of Lu, and Liu Bang as the Duke of Pei.

The words are divided into two ends. However, it was said that Pei Gong attacked Changyi, and Peng Yue led the crowd to help.

Peng Yue is a native of Changyi. He often fished in the wild fields for a living, and later became a thief. Although he was born in the countryside, he was well versed in the art of war, and his companions obeyed him. When Chen Sheng and Xiang Liang got into trouble, a companion boy said to Peng Yue: "Now that heroes from all over the country have raised troops to rebel against Qin, with Zhong's talents, why not follow the example of others and stand on their own?" Peng Yue replied: "The two dragons are fighting, and the victory or defeat is not scored, so it is better to wait for a while." After more than a year, the young man in Zezhong did not wait for Peng Yue to initiate, and gathered more than 100 people by himself, and asked Peng Yue to be the elder, and Peng Yue thanked him. The young people asked again and again, but Peng Yue was not as strong as everyone, so he agreed. Then he made an appointment with them, "Tomorrow at sunrise, the people will meet together here." Those who come after will be beheaded. When they heard this, they did not think of it.

By sunrise tomorrow, there will still be more than a dozen people in the future, and they will arrive one after another. One of them arrived at the latest, at noon. Peng Yue saw that everyone did not obey the restraints, and he could not convince the people without Liwei, so he said to everyone: "The kings forcibly push me to be the leader." More than 10 people who arrived after the agreed meeting should be beheaded according to military law. But there were too many people to be punished, so they had to behead the last person for public display. Then he ordered the principal to take him out and behead him. Everyone said, "Why is this! Please forgive him for the first time, and dare not violate the order in the future. Peng Yue didn't listen, so he beheaded his people and set up an altar to worship the gods and issued an order. So everyone was shocked and didn't dare to look up! Peng Yue Nai collected more than 1,000 scattered soldiers from all over the country. When Pei Gong led troops to attack Changyi, Peng Yue led the crowd to help in the battle. The siege was desperate for several days.

Pei Gong then said goodbye to Peng Yue and led his troops westward. One day to Gaoyang Anxia camp. was about to prepare for the siege of the city, and suddenly reported: "There are Gaoyang people who are eating and asking to see them outside." "It turned out that Li Shiqi was originally a Confucian scholar, he liked to read, his family was poor and destitute, and he had no way to make a living, so he stooped to live as a prison official.

Seeing the chaos in the world, Li Sheng was conceited and resourceful, so he wanted to choose the master and establish a meritorious career. At that time, Chen Sheng, Xiang Liang and other people who had traveled to Gaoyang were no less than dozens of people, and Li Sheng avoided them and did not see each other. This time, Pei Gong's soldiers went to Chenliu, and one of his subordinates was a man in Lisheng, so Lisheng asked the cavalry: "I heard that Pei Gong's plan is ambitious, but I hate that no one will introduce me to him." The cavalry replied: "Pei Gong does not like Confucianism, and if someone comes to see him with a Confucian crown, Pei Gong will take his crown and put it on the ground, and solve it." Often yells when talking to people. Li Sheng said: "You say it for me, I have a reason." The cavalry returned to the army, saw Pei Gong and said: "Among the ministers, there are people who are born in their sixties, eight feet long, and they are all called mad people. Now I admire Pei Gong and want to come to see him, "Pei Gong asked him to come over when he was free, and he came to see him on this day."

The gatekeeper reported that Pei Gong had asked to see him, and Pei Gong asked him who he was. The gatekeeper said that he was a Confucian student. Pei Gong said: "We have something to do with the war, and we have no time to meet with the Confucian scholars. The gatekeeper conveyed Pei Gong's words. Li Shiqi pressed his sword with angry eyes and shouted: "Minion! Re-enter to Pei Gongyan, I am a Gaoyang drunkard, not a Confucian. The gatekeeper was shocked by his drink, dropped the name card in his hand to the ground, hurriedly knelt down to pick up the name card, turned around and walked into Xiang Pei Gongdao: "The visitor is a strong man in the world, shouting loudly, the minister was shocked, and he lost the name!" Then he recounted the words of Li Sheng.

When Pei Gong heard the rumors, he passed on Li Sheng's opinion. Li Sheng heard the order to enter, but saw Pei Gonggao sitting on the bed with his feet open, and a woman on one side was washing his feet, and saw that Li Sheng was safe and still. Li Sheng approached Changyi and said, "Do you want to help Qin attack the countries, or do you want to lead the countries to break Qinhu?" Pei Gong scolded: "Erect Confucian! The world has been suffering from Qin for a long time, so all countries are attacking Qin, how can they help Qin attack all countries? Li Sheng said: "If you want to gather volunteers to destroy the Daoless Qin, you should not be so arrogant when you see the elders." When Pei Gong heard this, he hurriedly stopped washing, stood up and dressed and invited Li Sheng to sit down.

Li Sheng said that during the Warring States Period, "vertical and horizontal" were "combined". Pei Gong was overjoyed when he heard this, and kept him to eat, and asked for an enterprising plan. Li Sheng said: "If you lead a rabble with less than 10,000 people, you want to go straight to Qiangqin, which is really like entering the mouth of a tiger!" If you want to build a great achievement today, it is better to stay in Chen for the time being. Chenliu is a place that extends in all directions, according to the key points of the world, the city is strong and easy to defend, and there are many valleys. The minister is acquainted with his county order, please go and say it, so that it will come down. If he doesn't listen, he will lead troops to attack him, and the minister will be the internal response. Vested Chen Liu, according to its city and eat its millet, recruit soldiers from all directions. When the army is strong, it can run rampant in the world! Pei Gong followed his plan, so he asked Li Sheng to say that Chen Liuxian order.

Li Sheng went to Chenliu at night, and saw the county order and said: "Fang Jinqin has no way, the world rebels, and it can be a great success if you can follow the hearts of the people." If you insist on sticking to the dangerous city, disaster is not far away! Chen Liuxian Ling was shocked: "The Qin law is very heavy, and those who speak falsely have been punished by the clan." Sir is so instructed, I really dare not obey my fate, fortunately do not say more. When Li Sheng saw that he was not moving, he talked to him about him.

The county order will stay with Lisheng. In the middle of the night, Li Sheng fell asleep by the county order, killed him in bed, cut off his head and wrapped it in something, held it in his hand, quietly walked out of the county office, and went over the city.

Until he met Pei Gong in the army and prepared to tell his story.

The next day, Pei Gong led his troops to Chen Liucheng, and used a long rod to pick the head of the county order and the people in the city and said: "The head of the county order has been obtained by me, and you can avoid death by descending quickly." If he descends later, he should be cut first. "The people in the city saw that the county order was dead, and the people had no owner, so they opened the city and surrendered. Pei Gong took Chen Liu, recruited troops in four directions, and won more than 10,000 people, and he was named "Guangye Jun"

Li Sheng has a younger brother famous businessman, quite wise and brave, recommended by Li Sheng Zhu Pei Gong, called as a general, so that he recruited soldiers, get 4,000 people, Pei Gong then ordered him to lead with the west, besiege Kaifeng. A few days later, when he heard that Qin General Yang Xiong had come to the rescue, Pei Gong simply withdrew his troops and went to intercept Yang Xiong. Walking to the side of White Horse City, just as Yang Xiong arrived, Pei Gong led his troops to rush over. Yang Xiong did not have time to take precautions, hurriedly retreated, the front team of soldiers and horses had suffered many casualties, and retreated to the east of Quyu, the terrain was flat, Yang Xiong set up a formation on the spot to prepare for battle. Pei Gong led his troops to attack, and the two formations did not give in to each other. is killing is inextricably linked, suddenly a new force arrived, actually to Yang Xiong's formation, Yang Xiong's army was cut off before and after the natural rout, and then Pei Gong took advantage of the situation to kill, where can it be supported? Yang Xiong fled into Xingyang, and his troops were completely wounded. When the second heard this, he sent an envoy to behead Yang Xiong for public display.

Pei Gong fought this time, but fortunately, someone attacked Yang Xiong and won this great victory. Just as he was about to send someone to thank him, he came to the front of him to roll the saddle and dismount, and bowed his head to Pei Gong. Pei Gong also dismounted and replied, and when he lifted up, he saw that it was Han Situ Zhang Liang. The old people reunited with joy, and immediately chose a place to camp together.

It turned out that since Zhang Liang said goodbye to Pei Gong, he led more than 1,000 troops to take Han Land with Han Cheng, the king of Han, and only then did he get several cities, but he was attacked by Qin soldiers. Zhang Liang's soldiers could not refuse, and they were taken away by the Qin soldiers, so Zhang Liang had to go back and forth as a guerrilla in the Yingchuan area. This time he met Pei Gong, and Zhang Liang went from Pei Gong to attack Nanyang. The Nanyang County Guard led his troops to meet the battle, was defeated, and fled into Wancheng to hold on.

Pei Gong was anxious to enter the customs, the road through Wancheng abandoned and did not take, led the troops westward, has passed Wancheng dozens of miles, Zhang Liang hurriedly admonished Pei Gongdao: "The public is anxious to enter the customs, but the future pass is very many Qin soldiers are still many, if there is a pass in front, there is Wancheng in the back, my soldiers want to enter can not want to retreat, this dangerous road also!" Therefore, Wancheng must be taken. Pei Gong obeyed, and took advantage of his unpreparedness to return to attack him.

The Nanyang County Guard saw the Pei Gong Corps crossing the west of the city yesterday, and he was secretly happy in his heart, thinking that he could be safe. Who knew that someone had come early the next morning to report that the enemy had attacked the city. The county guard hurriedly climbed the city tower to take a look, only to see the enemy's troops surging like a tide, and they didn't know where they came from, so they couldn't help but be shocked!

When I returned to the department, I thought, "There is no defense in the city, how can we resist the enemy?" It is better to find a death early to avoid the hands of the enemy. "When I want to finish pulling out my saber, I want to kill myself.

Chen Hui hurriedly stopped and said: "If you are willing to surrender, the minister is willing to go to Pei Gong and protect the title." If Pei Gong doesn't listen, it's not too late to die. The county guard obeyed his words, and Chen Hui went out of the city to see Pei Gong and said: "The minister heard that the king of Chu has an appointment, and the one who enters the customs first will be called Wang Guanzhong." If the garrison attacks the city today, the city is difficult to break, and the soldiers will be killed and wounded; If the city is abandoned and the troops are drawn westward, then Wancheng will send troops to pursue. For today's plan, it is better to recruit its county guards to surrender, and make a covenant with him to seal the high lord, that is, to collect his troops to make him defend the city, and then go all the way to the west. Isn't it wonderful to have no foot and not a single arrow, and to drive straight forward without hindrance? ”

Pei Gong followed Chen Hui's words, and then allowed Nanyang County to surrender and was named Marquis Yin. With Chen Hui as a thousand households. Pei Gong had Wancheng to lead troops westward, and the cities he passed through were really subdued. Pei Gong also ordered the soldiers not to be taken captive along the way, and the Qin people were happy. When they reached Wuguan, there were soldiers who refused to defend it, and Pei Gong led troops to break through.
