Chapter 9: Defeat
For the first time, Liu Bang faced the pressure of a large army, and this time it was not the Qin army, but the Wei army led by Chen Sheng's general Zhou Shi.
Zhou City came over to grab the land.
This Zhou City is a native of Wei, then Wei Xiangguo, and takes the restoration of the country as his own responsibility. According to Zhou City, Fang He is the homeland of Wei and has to be taken back. Actually, Fang He is the homeland of the Wei State, Han Wei and Zhao were originally split from the Jin State in the Spring and Autumn Period, how can they not be said to be the homeland of the Jin State! It can be seen that high-sounding reasons cannot hide the essence of hypocrisy.
Liu Bang finally got a few palm-sized pieces of land, and someone came to grab it. So he did not hesitate, and immediately brought 2,000 people to save Fang and the county seat, and at the same time ordered Qi County, Hu Ling's soldiers and horses to hurry up to rendezvous. When he arrived at Fanghe, he found that this small county town had been surrounded by water.
The two armies started fighting, and Zhou City was not the previous local government army, and as a result, Liu Bang was defeated, killed and wounded hundreds of brothers, and could only retreat to the city with a look of chagrin. At this time, Cao Shen said that our side and the city are strong, as long as we stick to it, there is no way to do it in Zhou City, the most worrying thing is Fengyi, that is our old nest, it will be very miserable to lose it, and at present, we can only send someone to remind Yongya, telling him to stick to it and not to fight.
Cao Shen's worries are not unreasonable, although Fengyi is very small, but most of Liu Bang's relatives are in Fengyi and Pei County, if it is lost, it will affect the morale of the army, and there may be some big mess at that time.
Liu Bang ordered to strengthen precautions on the one hand, and waited for an opportunity to send people to Fengyi to spread the word.
Fengyi's defender Yongya did not fight with Zhou City, the reason is simple, he surrendered. Yongya has always been very unhappy with Liu Laosan, and has been teasing himself since he was a child, although Liu Laosan is not just playing tricks on him, his brothers are often teased by him, but Yongya is more vindictive.
The dissatisfaction accumulated when I was a child finally caused trouble at this time, and Yongya decided not to mix with Liu Bang. On the surface, Zhou City's power is very large, and it seems to be relatively promising. Yongya is a martial artist, the martial artist admits death, surrender is a very shameful thing, and there must be a heavy gift to him under the steps, so Yongya's surrender is all due to a staff member in Zhou City, this staff member will be very famous in the future, his name is Lu Jia, and later he "destroyed" a vassal state by mouth.
The Tooth surrendered.
The news of Yongya's surrender soon reached Liu Bang's ears, Liu Bang was angry, his wife and children, father and mother are all in Fengyi, can you not be in a hurry? In a fit of rage, despite the heavy encirclement of the Wei army, he took thousands of people to save Fengyi, but the strange thing is that the Wei army did not stop him, but let Liu Bang go out of the city. When Liu Bang arrived in Fengyi, he saw that the flag of Wei had been planted.
Before Liu Bang's thousands of people could attack the city, they were beaten up by the ambush arranged by Zhou City. After a while, thousands of people were scattered, and when their lives were hanging by a thread, Xiahou Ying arrived in time, and Liu Bang picked up a life.
At this point, Liu Bang gritted his teeth with hatred for Yongya, and this hatred continued and accumulated for many years, until in the end, Liu Bang did not kill him, but used his hatred for him to make the Marquis of Yongya, turning bad things into good things. Therefore, Liu Bang has a lot of energy, which can be seen in general.
After this defeat, Liu Bang could only turn back to Peixian, planning to take a short rest, reorganize the soldiers and horses, and then recapture Fengyi. However, before the buttocks were hot, the messenger came to report that Xue County, Qi County, and Huling had all been taken by Zhou City, and only Fang and Cheng had not been lost.
Pei Gong almost fainted when he heard this, and his heart became more and more resentful of the villain Yongya.
At this moment, not only Yongya rebelled, but many people switched to the Wei army.
His subordinates persuaded Liu Bang one after another, but for now, it is better to take care of his body and find a way to defend the only two cities.
Liu Bang racked his brains to defend the city, and Zhou City racked his brains to break the city.
Not to mention that Ji people have their own natural appearance.
History is really interesting, those successful people every time they come to the moment of life and death, when they can't think of a solution, God can't stand it, solve it for them, and we will see traces of God's help in the future.
Liu Bang's life is good.
The person who saved him this time was none other than the fierce man Zhang Han. In fact, Zhang Han didn't think of saving him at all, he just took 400,000 soldiers and horses out of the customs to prepare to sweep away the princes, if Liu Bang and Zhang Han are good friends and brothers, this is definitely another classic example of encircling Wei to save Zhao.
Unfortunately not, so I can only attribute it to Liu Bang's luck.
After Zhang Han defeated Chen Sheng, his next target was the Wei State. When the king of Wei got the news, he was very panicked and sent an order to Zhou Shi to return to the army.
Zhou City naturally did not dare to stay, leaving a few passers-by to guard, and led the army back to Linji to deal with it.
Zhou Shi ran away, Liu Bang breathed a sigh of relief, but when he thought of Yongya and those betrayed generals and soldiers, he was depressed in his heart, and even got sick and settled down in Pei County.
Liu Bang has stopped for the time being, but it is very lively outside. In the remaining month of Liu Bang's recuperation, Qin General Zhang Han was invincible all the way, forcing Chen Sheng to be cornered, and was finally killed by the coachman.
When Qin Jia, a native of Lingxian County, did not confirm the news of Chen Sheng's death, he supported his troops in Pengcheng and established Jingju as the king of Chu, appointed himself to the Zhuguo, and garrisoned the city. He heard that Liu Bang had some people in Pei County, so he sent someone to recruit Liu Bang. Of course, Qin Jia came to summon Liu Bang not because Liu Bang was famous, but because Liucheng was very close to Pei County.
Liu Bang discussed it with the subordinates and came to the conclusion that one word, good.
After the agreement, Liu Bang left it to Xiao He, Lu Huang with 1,000 soldiers and horses to guard Pei County, and brought the remaining 2,000 soldiers and horses to join Qin Jia.
But no one expected that Liu Bang's decision would allow him to meet a person who could bring about a change in fate.
Running into this person is really a real blessing in Liu Bang's life.
