Xingyang is at stake.

In order to understand the predicament of Xingyang, Liu Bang adopted Yuan Sheng's suggestion and led his troops to Wancheng (now Nanyang, Henan) to make a detour to attack Pengcheng

It turned out to be a brilliant move.

After Xiang Yu learned of Liu Bang's movements, he left his troops to besiege Xingyang, and he personally led his troops to Wancheng non-stop.

They must be blocked in Wancheng, in case Liu Bang takes Pengcheng directly! Isn't that... No, no.

The shadow of Liu Bang's sneak attack on Pengcheng the year before still lingers in Xiang Yu's heart.

Although Liu Bang was defeated later, Xiang Yu still felt that he had lost.

Liu Bang occupied Pengcheng, and he regarded it as his own home, as the saying goes, brothers have to settle accounts, but Liu Bang is good, take it if you want, use it if you want, and waste it if you want to waste it.

As soon as he thought of this, Xiang Yu was so hateful that his teeth rattled, if he repeated the mistakes of the past, he couldn't forgive himself!

Xiang Yu arrived at Wancheng as fast as possible, and Xiang Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Liu Bang standing still.

Liu Bang's original intention was not to attack Pengcheng, but to induce the main force of the Chu army to withdraw and relieve the pressure on Xingyang.

To tell the truth, Peng Cheng, he didn't dare to go again if he borrowed ten guts, the blood of hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Han army was vivid, and seeing the Suishui River could make him shiver, how could he dare to go again?

The Han army waited for work in Wancheng, relying on the terrain, and had already prepared a deep ditch gate for Xiang Yu to prevent the Chu army from attacking.

At this time, his subordinates sent a letter to Xiang Yu, and when he saw this letter, his head grew again.

Peng Yue, I knew that the widow would kill you! Xiang Yu tore the letter to pieces, and it turned out that Peng Yue stirred up chickens and dogs in Chu, and the Chu army was defeated, and Chu killed Xue Gong.

Xiang Yu was furious, and waved his army eastward to attack Peng Yue.

The Chu army ran all the way to Xiapi (now Pizhou, Jiangsu) and launched an attack on Peng Yue, but the two armies did not exchange fire much, and Peng Yue was defeated.

After defeating Peng Yue, Xiang Yu heard that Liu Bang had arrived in Chenggao (now Zhengzhou, Henan), and returned to the army in the direction of Chenggao.

Exhaustion is originally a taboo for soldiers.

But Xiang Yu didn't seem to care at all, in his opinion, it was still good for the army to exercise and exercise.

Mr. Overlord is young and strong, energetic, there is no problem with running a marathon, young can withstand tossing, we can all understand, but those Chu soldiers are in pain!

On the way to Chenggao, he still did something that he hadn't done for two years - he broke Xingyang by the way.

The two armies of Chu and Han have spent nearly two years fighting here, and Xiang Yu has launched countless attacks without success, and he actually broke it in the movement, so he has to admire the combat effectiveness of the Chu army!

From Xingyang to Wancheng, from Wancheng to Xiapi, measure it on the map with a ruler, and then consider the traffic conditions at that time, you can know the marching situation of the Chu army in the past two months.

I have mentioned countless times that it is not easy to march to fight, and with such a high-intensity and high-density march, the energy consumption of the Chu army is undoubtedly huge.

There is a well-known theorem called the law of conservation of energy, which says that if one form of energy increases, there must be other energy decreased.

The kinetic energy of the Chu army is increasing, and at the same time, its sharpness and lethality are decreasing.

This analogy is not accurate, but it is true.

Xingyang City was broken, and the guards Zhou Ke and Fang Gong were killed.

Chu and Han confronted each other here for two years, and the Chu army occupied the city, and the situation did not change.

The key is that the head and brain of Liu Bang Group are unscathed, and Xingyang is no longer so important. Liu Bang fled from Xingyang to Chenggao, and walked back and forth between Chenggao and Wancheng, very chic.

A great man once said: If you lose your land, you will lose your land; If people lose land, people and land will survive.

This is a wise saying.

Liu Bang must have never heard this sentence, but he feels the mystery all the time.

Therefore, when the Chu army was about to reach Chenggao, Liu Bang abandoned the city with Xiahou Ying and fled so fast that he didn't even react with the generals in Chenggao. When it was later discovered that Liu Bang had abandoned the city and fled, his old man was already far away in martial arts, enjoying the pleasure of gaining power.

As soon as Liu Bang ran, the generals had no intention of defending the city. By the time Xiang Yu arrived at Chenggao, Chenggao had become an empty city.

It was too late to chase, so Xiang Yu gave a more humane order: the whole army rested.

After Liu Bang escaped from Chenggao, he ran to Han Xin Zhang Er's station Xiao Xiuwu to carry out a surprise attack.

Han Xin was still asleep, Liu Bang deceived the doorman in the name of the Han envoy, and went straight into Han Xin's tent, seeing that Han Xin had not woken up, he secretly took Han Xin's talisman, immediately went out to raise the account, summoned Han Xin's subordinate generals, rearranged his duties, and waited for Han Xin to get up to meet him, Liu Bang used the excuse that the two were lying in bed, saying that they were embarrassed, and then ordered Zhang Er to clear the remnants of the enemy in Zhaodi, and then ordered Han Xin to go to Zhao to recruit new soldiers to prepare to attack Qi.

Liu Bang snatched Han Xin's elite soldiers with lightning speed, Liu Bang thought he was very clever, Han Xin didn't understand the deep meaning, so he didn't care, then again, it didn't matter if he understood it.

Take it, take it, new soldiers, veterans, in the hands of my Han Xin, can become elite soldiers. Han Xin was extremely confident in the use of soldiers.

Of course, in Liu Bang's eyes, Han Xin's troops are a recruit training camp, and Liu Bang did not play this method once or twice.

In this regard, Han Xin has become accustomed to it, and can only say that there is a specialization in the art industry, and the ruler is long and the inch is short.

Politically, Han Xin and Liu Bang are not heavyweights.

Like Xiang Yu, he has the pinnacle of military ability, but his political talent is stretched.

Xiang Yu is rarely idle in Chenggao.

In order not to let Xiang Yu be idle, Liu Bang decided to continue to let Xiang Yu run, Peng Yue and Liu Jialu Lujuan burned the Chu army's grain in Yanxi cleanly, and Peng Yue also captured dozens of cities in Chu.

Xiang Yu sent his subordinates to fight dogs with meat buns, and there was no return, so he had no choice but to leave Sima Cao to defend Chenggao City, and before leaving, he only had to stick to it, and he didn't need to fight.

Cao Ji heard that his left ear went in and out of his right ear, and he still went into battle.

Xiang Yu didn't leave for long, he lost the city, and he could only apologize by committing suicide.

Peng Yue has suffered Xiang Yu's loss, and in the face of Xiang Yu's attack again, he has no interest in resisting, can't he hide if he can't afford to fight?

Peng Yue returned all the cities he had beaten to Xiang Yu and fled without a trace.

Time flies, time flies, and it is the beginning of the fourth year of Han Gaozu.

The weather gradually turned colder, Xiang Yu continued to be busy back and forth, and the overlord of Chu was only thirty years old, the age of a flower.

With the passage of time, the sharpness of the Chu army is slowly weakening, and the materials of the Chu army are slowly being consumed.

When Xiang Yu returned to Guangwu near Xingyang again, the Han army had already made up its mind to rely on the terrain to confront each other and would not fight easily.

I can't kill you, I will kill you! Liu Bang's idea works.

They are all people, and they all have to eat, why is Liu Bang so confident?

The answer is simple: Xiao He!

Liu Bang has been able to have no danger over the years, and has been defeated and fought repeatedly, Xiao He can be said to have made great contributions.

Although Guanzhong is not the land of fish and rice, there is Xiao He, a good hand, after several years of recuperation, it is already a piece of vitality, therefore, whenever Liu Bang is defeated on the front line, Xiao He can always send Guanzhong soldiers, grain and grass and military salaries.

There is another reason that makes Liu Bang more confident, that is, the support of the people.

As I said before, the people of Guanzhong have formed a bond with Xiang Yu, so defeating Xiang Yu is also revenge for them.

Therefore, under the organization of Xiao He, the people of Guanzhong carried them on their shoulders and pushed them with carts, and worked tirelessly to send the materials to the front line of Xingyang.

After the Huaihai Campaign, Marshal Chen Yi famously said: The victory of the Huaihai Campaign was pushed out by the masses of the people in small cars.

This famous saying also applies to the Chu-Han War.

The victory of the Han army was due to Xiao He's organization and the support of the people.

On the other hand, the Chu army is becoming more and more embarrassed.

Therefore, Xiang Yu finally played the trump card in his hand.

Xiang Yu set up a high sword in front of the camp, tied Liu Taigong to it, pushed it to the side of Guangwu Stream, and shouted at the Han army barracks: Liu Bang, if you refuse to surrender, the widow will cook your father to death!

Xiang Yu's voice was like a bell, shaking the valley, and Liu Bang stomped his feet in the tent: he wants to cook others, and the widow can't control it, but he wants to cook the widow's father! The widow cannot ignore it.

Zhang Liang saw that Liu Bang was in a hurry, and stepped forward to whisper.

After listening, Liu Bang quickly ran to the outside of the camp, and the posture was almost with a big knife, but he didn't expect that when he arrived at the camp, Liu Bang said very easily: Xiang Yu, our two colleagues Emperor Yi are brothers who have worshipped, and the widow's father is your father, if you really want to kill the old father, then share the widow's pie!

After speaking, looking from a distance, Liu Bang seemed to be still grimacing.

Liu Bang's words made Xiang Yu almost vomit blood, I thought it was a trump card in my hand, but I didn't expect it to be a waste of food.

Liu Bang's words, not only Xiang Yu, anyone who listens to it will vomit blood!

Perhaps, Liu Bang said this to save the Taigong, but even if he has a hard time, even if he does not surrender, can he say such a thing? Is this the kind of thing that a son should say? Could it be that Mrs. Liu will not die? If Xiang Yu was angry, but really cooked Mrs. Liu, what should he do?

It has been said that politicians are not morally bound!

I said, a politician is also the son of a father, and the father of a son also has relatives and family members, so should he not care about anything for the sake of so-called political interests?

No matter what kind of hardship Liu Bang has, no matter what Liu Bang's purpose is, his words are chilling.

Mrs. Liu is old, he may not be able to care what his son says, in the days of Chuying, he can't wait to die early, at such a young age, how can he withstand such a toss!

Mrs. Liu is not cold-hearted, and the other person is cold-hearted, this person is Lu Pheasant, who is also a captive, and Lu Pheasant is already cold-hearted when he hears this: He doesn't even care about his old son, how can he take care of me? I thought he would miss us day and night, but I didn't expect...

At that moment, the kind village woman completed the psychological transformation of her life, she no longer needed to be kind, at that moment, the Han Dynasty had one less kind woman and one more politician.

The Han Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, Liu Bang strongly advocated filial piety after ascending the throne, set an example for himself, and tried his best to compensate for his children, regardless of illegitimate children, beloved sons and sons who did not like them, all of them were crowned kings, but what is the use of this, people will not forget his behavior of leaving his children in times of crisis, and will not forget the words of Guangwujian to divide his father's pie, even if all the emperors of the Han Dynasty add a filial piety word in front of their names, can they wash away the sins committed by Gaozu?

Every time his family received his gifts, there was no gratitude, no warmth, no tears.

Some scars will never heal if they are branded.

Xiang Yu, under the advice of Xiang Bo, did not kill Taigong in the end.

Xiang Yu proposed: Let's go head-to-head.

Liu Bang leaned forward and leaned back with a smile: I would rather fight wit, not strength.

Seeing Xiang Yu's helpless expression, Liu Bang was even more proud.

He pointed out Xiang Yu's ten major crimes in a timely and eloquent manner, which can be described as conclusive, making the relatives painful and the enemies happy.

These charges did not wronged Xiang Yu. However, just now Liu Bang kept claiming that Xiang Yu was his brother, and now as soon as he turned his face, he took the knife on his brother. Anyway, the brothers count down the brothers, which seems necessary but not honorable.

This is the dirtiest political struggle in the world.

Fathers and sons, brothers, husbands and wives, etc., are nothing in the face of political struggle! When you need it, you think about it, and when you don't need it, you kick it away.

Xiang Yu suddenly jumped like thunder, and he ordered his subordinates to bring a big bow of several hundred catties.

Shooting with a bow, an off-string arrow quickly flew in the direction of Liu Bang, and this shot hit Liu Bang's chest.

Xiahou Ying and other close ministers immediately surrounded Liu Bang, Liu Bang endured the pain and said: Boy, you shot the widow's toe!

Seeing that it was about to be unable to support it, several entourages carried Liu Bang into the big tent.

Fortunately, Liu Bang is fine. After the military doctor pulled out the arrow, Liu Bang was almost dying.

Seeing this, Zhang Liang came and said: "King, get up and inspect the barracks and rest!" Otherwise, I am afraid that the morale of the army will be unstable!

Widows... Widows... All... I'm dying... How to patrol? Liu Bang waved his hand.

Zhang Liang persuaded: King, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan!

Let's go, the widow listens to the Qing family! Liu Bang struggled to his feet.

Liu Bangqiang endured severe pain and inspected the Han army barracks. The soldiers of the Han army originally rumored that the king of Han was dying, but when they saw that Liu Bang was fine, they all calmed down.

It just so happened that the spies of the Chu army also saw Liu Bang patrolling the barracks, and hurriedly went back to report to Xiang Yu.

After hearing this, Xiang Yu was puzzled, thinking that his skills should not be missed, he began to doubt his ability!

What is the sign that people who used to be so confident and proud are beginning to doubt themselves? This is a sign of a rout.

Xiang Yu was only one step away from the final rout.

At this time, the battle report of Qi came out, Xiang Yu opened it and saw it, like a thunderbolt in a sunny day, and suddenly sat on the throne!

I saw him muttering in distraction: The dragon is dead! The dragon is dead...
