It was the beginning of the second year of the Han Dynasty (205 BC).

The overlord of Western Chu decided to conquer Tian Rong in the north.

At this time, Liu Bang had returned to central Shaanxi to pacify the people of Guanzhong who had suffered from the war. The people are very happy, Liu Bang is also very happy, and the feeling of the military and the people having fun together makes people look forward to the future. Liu Bang is even more happy in these days.

As soon as the happy event came, Zhang Liang returned to Liu Bang's side day and night.

The second happy event was that Wang Shenyang of Henan was defeated and surrendered to Liu Bang, and Liu Bang set up Henan County, which was guarded by Wang Shenyang.

The third happy event is that the grandson of King Han Xiang, Gongzi Xin, under the order of Liu Bang, attacked Han Land and defeated Zheng Chang, King of Han, in Yangcheng, and Zheng Chang was forced to surrender. Liu Bang soon became the king of Han with a letter of son.

The fourth happy event, Chen Yu defeated Zhang Er, the king of Changshan, and reinstated Zhao Wang Xie, Zhang Er fled to Han and defected to the king of Han, and was treated well by Liu Bang, and Liu Bang got another general.

On the fifth day of the happy event, Wang Ling, a native of the same county, led thousands of soldiers to surrender.

On the sixth occasion, the Han army crossed the river from Linjin, Wei Wangbao surrendered, and then captured Hanoi, captured Sima Mao, the king of Yin, and added Hanoi County.

Happy event seven, Chen Ping came to vote, this is an extremely important figure to the Han Dynasty.

A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance.

As long as Xiang Yu is alive and well, he won't be happy.

Let's introduce this Chen Ping first.

Chen Ping, a native of Yangwu (now southeast of Yuanyang, Henan), was a strategist in the early Han Dynasty, Zhang Liang ranked first, and Chen Ping ranked second. Chen Ping's family was poor when he was young, although he was a poor child, and he mixed with cattle herding babies every day, but he had a more elegant hobby - reading, especially those books on the art of war. Chen Ping has an elder brother named Uncle Chen, Chen Ping saw that his younger brother was a little special, so he focused on cultivating, the family was poor, there was no last meal, and the men in the family had to work for their livelihood, but Chen Ping only needed to do mental work - reading, not physical labor - farming under the care of his brother.

In addition to reading, Chen Ping also likes to travel around to study and increase his knowledge.

The perennial mental activities have given Chen Ping extraordinary insight. Once, Chen Ping divided the meat for everyone, and suddenly burst out: Wow, so that Ping can slaughter the world, and it is also like meat (ah, if I am asked to manage the world, I will be as even as dividing meat)!

The villagers were taken aback when they heard this, and they were amazed by Chen Ping.

Uncle Chen's connivance with his younger brother to not produce caused disgust from a person, who was Uncle Chen's wife, and she often said angrily in front of Chen Ping: "If you have an uncle, it's better to have nothing." ”

Uncle Chen didn't take it to heart at first, but the more he listened, the more angry he became, in order to create a good family environment for his younger brother, he gave his wife two words: get out.

The eldest brother is like a father!

Chen Ping saw the greatness of family affection from his brother's divorce of his wife.

Brother, I will definitely get ahead! Chen Ping secretly swore in his heart.

Chen Ping is not only extraordinary, but more importantly, he is very handsome, and he is a well-known local beautiful man. But Chen Ping is not a casual person, he would rather fight a bachelor than marry a poor girl, he wants to marry a rich girl, but the rich family looks down on him.

The beautiful man Chen Ping's situation has become extremely embarrassing, but even so, he is still very optimistic. He polished his eyes and waited for the opportunity of the rich girl.

To be honest, Chen Ping's view of marriage is very snobbish. Much of his view of marriage stems from his ideals. In Chen Ping's eyes, marriage is like a turning point to change his fate: he is so handsome that he can't waste it.

The hard work paid off, and Chen Ping waited for an opportunity in his search day after day.

The granddaughter of a wealthy local family, Zhang Cheng, was married five times, and her husband died (he fell into blood mold). Since then, this woman has been crowned with the hat of Kefu, although Zhang has a lot of money, although Miss Zhang is good-looking, the Zhang family is worried about this woman's sixth marriage.

Think about it, remarry yourself, think about it, marry a man with tenacious vitality! Miss Zhang had a sad face all day long, staring at the windowsill in a daze.

Relax, Miss Zhang, that man is coming to you soon, that man is very handsome, very talented, and most importantly, tenacious in vitality and not afraid of death (voiceover).

The impoverished Chen Ping fell in love with the wealthy Miss Zhang (I have to admire Chen Ping's courage), in fact, Chen Ping did not fancy Miss Zhang, but the opportunity after marrying the Zhang family. Although Chen Ping thought so in his heart, he didn't say so in his mouth.

If you say it, you will be swept away.

After making up his mind, Chen Ping took a few deep breaths, after all, it really takes a lot of courage to propose to a woman who has killed five husbands, who can guarantee that he is not the sixth?

Chen Ping found Miss Zhang.

I want to be with you, count the stars in the sky with you, collect the spring drizzle... I want to be with you. Chen Ping is both clever and handsome, and his confession is irresistible to any girl.

Miss Zhang's heart was overjoyed when she saw that Chen Ping was so handsome, and she was willing to marry herself, a woman who had died after five marriages.

Although the woman was happy in her heart, her expression was cold: you will regret it.

I won't regret it. Chen Ping said firmly.

You're going to die. A hint of emotion flashed in Miss Zhang's clear eyes.

I'm not going to die. Chen Ping remains determined.

I... I... I can't call the shots, you have to ask Grandpa. After Miss Zhang finished speaking, she left quickly, for fear that the two bright crimson flowers on her face like peach blossoms would be seen by Chen Ping.

Chen Ping looked at her petite back and showed a sly smile.

In ancient times, marriage must have the order of parents and the words of matchmaking. Parents here do not refer to biological parents, but to parents, in ancient China, parents have the right to distribute family property and decide on the marriage of family members. Therefore, if Chen Ping wants to marry the daughter of the Zhang family smoothly, he must also pass the eyes of Zhang Cheng, the head of the Zhang family.

In order to understand Chen Ping, he deliberately secretly followed Chen Ping's house, and found that although Chen Ping's family was poor, he had many guests, especially many elders, so he decided that Chen Ping was by no means a long-term resident, so he married his granddaughter to him despite the opposition of his family.

Granddaughter, it's not that grandpa wants to treat you badly, how can a talent like Chen Ping stay poor (people are inherently beautiful like Chen Ping and poor and lowly)? My aunt and grandmother, you just believe grandpa, don't cry, grandpa has lived a lifetime, no one has seen it, believe me, you won't look away. On the day of the wedding, Zhang Cheng comforted his baby granddaughter who was crying.

Grandpa uh, grandson... Grandchild... It's not sad, the grandson is... Be... Happy, I finally have someone to want, and after five husbands died, I can still marry such a handsome man. I'm happy... Rejoice!

When Zhang Cheng heard this, he stroked his beard and laughed.

The granddaughter of the Zhang family burst into tears and poured rain, and Zhang Yin's laughter spread all over the alley. This old and young attracted everyone's attention.

Zhang Cheng is another old man, he is the same as Lu Gong, his eyesight is extraordinary, the difference is that Lu Gong fell in love with an emperor, and he fell in love with a prime minister.

After Chen Ping married the daughter of the Zhang family, he received funding from the Zhang family, and he made friends with heroes and heroes everywhere. After Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rebelled, the state of Wei was restored, and he went to the king of Wei alone, and the king of Wei made him a servant. Later, he was jealous of Wei Xiangguo Zhou City, and turned to Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu worshiped Chen Ping as the king of Xinwujun, after Liu Bang pacified the three Qin, Xiang Yu ordered him to attack Sima Mao, the king of Yin who surrendered to Liu Bang, Sima Mao was defeated and surrendered to Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu was overjoyed, rewarded Chen Ping with 20 gold and worshiped Chen Ping as the captain. Later, Liu Bang sent troops to defeat Sima Mao, and Sima Mao rebelled against Chu and returned to Han again.

Sima Mao rebelled back and forth, Xiang Yu was angry, and the overlord of Chu was angry, it was not a trivial matter, it was to kill people. Even if Xiang Yu glared at someone, Guan Bao would have nightmares for three months, let alone get angry.

Unfortunately, Xiang Yu was not angry at Sima Mao, but at Chen Ping and his subordinates.

How did you do it, you can't even look at a general, what use does the widow want you? Xiang Yu shouted like thunder.

Everyone was lying on the ground trembling, according to Xiang Yu's temper, this was a very dangerous signal. Chen Ping was also very frightened, made up his mind to run away, and ran away as soon as he said he would run, Chen Ping immediately packed his bags after returning to his residence, returned the seal letter, and quietly escaped from the Chu camp.

When he arrived at the edge of the Yellow River, he hired a boatman and prepared to cross the river to join the king of Han. There were four gondoliers on board, all of whom were very stout. The boatmen saw that Chen Ping was dignified and dressed extraordinarily, presumably from a rich family, so they started to use their bad brains.

These years of chaos, it is not easy to do anything, these boatmen belong to the type of black and white road all-you-can-eat, serious business is also done, serious business is also done, what kind of business is done, it depends on how many goods there are on the passengers.

In troubled times, no one cares about killing, so you don't have to be afraid that the government will treat you for murder.

The four boatmen discussed it secretly, and looked at Chen Ping's eyes full of weirdness.

The clever Chen Ping noticed this abnormality, and also guessed the boatman's intentions: these people must be asking for money, and I must let them know that I have no money on me.

Chen Ping took off his shirt, went bare-chested, and offered to row with the boatmen. The boatmen secretly rummaged through his clothes, but they didn't expect that there was nothing but a broken sword, so they dismissed the idea of killing for money.

Killing people is also a painful thing, and the boatman would never have done such a thing if he had not been forced by life. If you meet some unarmed and rich masters, thank God, but if you meet a guy who seems to be weak but has practiced the Sunflower Treasure Book, the boatman can only consider himself unlucky.

Chen Ping successfully crossed the Yellow River. came to the Han army garrison to cultivate martial arts, and found his former colleague Wei Wuzhi.

Under the recommendation of his friend Wei Wuzhi, Chen Ping met the King of Han.

Liu Bang talked with Chen Ping a few times, and he had the feeling of hating to see each other, Liu Bang immediately worshiped him as a lieutenant and in charge of the army, and the generals were not convinced, thinking that a person who had just taken refuge in him, how could he get such a great courtesy? After Liu Bang found out, he was even more courteous to Chen Ping.

The strength of the Han army is constantly growing, and the confidence of the Liu Bang group has also swelled dramatically.

The time has come for Liu Bang and Xiang Yu to tear their faces.

Liu Bang and Xiang Yu led the army to cross Pingyinjin and reach Luoyang on the opportunity of the northern expedition to Qi. The three old Dong Gong of Luoyang New City came to pay homage to the King of Han and said: "The ministers heard that Shunde will prosper, and if they go against virtue, they will die, and the Han army is unknown!" Dare to ask the king, who is the crusade? ”

Liu Bangzuo scratched his ears and thought, he really hadn't thought about this question.

"Xiang Yu has no way, let his master go, and the thieves in the world will also..."Dong Gong continued.

It means that the King of Han wants to go east, but the teacher is unknown, and the people are not convinced, and now I have found a reason for you, this reason is that Xiang Yu killed the emperor of the Communist Party of the world.

The reason given by Dong Gong was very clever, and Gao was high because he suddenly pushed Xiang Yu into the rebellious fire. Betraying the Lord and killing the king is a great crime, and for those who commit this kind of crime, the common people at that time have the obligation to punish everyone.

Liu Bang was very happy after understanding the mystery!

Dong Gong then suggested that Liu Bang lead three armies to mourn for Emperor Yi and pass on the vassal messages.

Then Liu Bang had a good time with a good play. In front of the soldiers, he bare his chest and arms, weeping in pain, crying for the righteous emperor. The sadness of his emotions and the shock of his cry moved everyone present.

It may seem like a boring game, but there's a deep intent hidden in it.

First, to publicize the justice of the Eastern Crusade and win the support of public opinion. If the so-called name is not right, it is not good.

Second, to win the support of the princes, Xiang Yu is the one who betrays the lord and kills the king, and the princes have the obligation to crusade against Xiang Yu.

Third, show your own righteousness.

After the wonderful performance, Liu Bang passed on the princes and invited the princes of all parties to listen to his orders and crusade against Xiang Yu together.

Since it was a crusade against sinners, the princes had to send troops to help in the war. In addition, the princes from all walks of life were indeed dissatisfied with Xiang Yu, so under Liu Bang's call, they gathered 560,000 troops. Liu Bang left Han Xin in Henan to guard, and he personally led the alliance of princes to march towards Pengcheng.

At this time, Xiang Yu was still charging into battle in the Qi Kingdom.

As a result, Tian Rong was defeated, and the local people killed him and begged Xiang Yu to stop fighting. But Xiang Yu ignored it and led the Chu army to burn and loot as always, thus arousing a greater resistance from Qi Di. Tian Heng cleaned up the remnants and set up his nephew (Tian Rong's son) Tian Guang as the king of Qi and defended Chengyang. The Chu army's life in Qidi also became very difficult.

Xiang Yu went north, almost all the main force was taken away, Pengcheng was extremely empty, so Liu Bang had been very smooth on the way east, on the way, Peng Yue brought 30,000 people to surrender, because Peng Yue occupied dozens of Wei cities, Liu Bang named him the Xiangguo of Wei Wang Leopard.

Liu Bang led 560,000 horses and occupied Pengcheng without much effort.

Pengcheng is Xiang Yu's lair, and Xiang Yu left all the gold, silver, jewelry, and beauties Gong'e looted from Xianyang in Pengcheng.

Wine and wealth, that is Liu Bang's favorite thing.

Liu Bang didn't expect that he would be able to capture Pengcheng so smoothly, and once again saw so many money, jewelry, and beauties in front of him, his eyes were green, and he immediately returned to his original shape. Thinking about the frightened people who have been running around all these years, is it easy to be a widow, he understands that this is an excellent opportunity for corruption, and in order to be corrupt well, he has also prepared a reason for corruption to prevent his unenlightened subordinates from admonishing.

The country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change.

Time is of the essence, so start corrupting!

Liu Bang set up banquets in Pengcheng day and night, watching songs and dances, admiring silk and bamboo, hugging beauties, what Xiang Yu, what world, what war, has long been left behind.

The subordinates occasionally came to persuade a few times, but Liu Bang said: So many princes have come from afar, they must eat and drink something good, and there are 560,000 troops outside the city, even if Xiang Yu comes back from the expedition, it will be fine. Liu Bang is very confident.

Soon, he will taste the bitter fruit of self-confidence.

King Han, King Han, wake up, wake up, if this continues, our army is in danger!

It's okay, it's not... Things, widows... The widow plays... Play.. It's just a heartbeat. It's worth it to get addicted. Liu Bang was drunk and unconscious.

When the overlord of Chu in Qi heard that Pengcheng was occupied by Liu Bang, he was furious: Liu Laosan, the widow swears to break your body into ten thousand pieces!

Xiang Yu selected 30,000 elites, leaving the rest of the troops to continue to besiege Chengyang, so he traveled day and night, rushing to Pengcheng non-stop.

Liu Laosan, the widow should have slaughtered you hypocrisy with a knife, Pengcheng, Pengcheng, the gold and silver treasures of the widow, the beauty of the widow, the widow... Xiang Yu's anger continued to accumulate on the road.

Liu Bang's nightmare is about to begin.
