[When Han Xin used the strategy of repairing the plank road in the Ming Dynasty and secretly Chen Cang, defeated Zhang Han, forced the landing of Sima Xin and Dong Peng, and determined that Sanqin occupied Guanzhong, what was Xiang Yu doing?

At that time, Xiang Yu's energy was focused on quelling the rebellions in Qi and Zhao, and he couldn't take care of Liu Bang, who was "exiled" by him to Jiaojiao Gada, for the time being.

When Xiang Yu divided the princes and kings, not only Liu Bang was dissatisfied with the results of the separation, but also Tian Rong.

Tian Rong contributed a lot in the action of recovering the Qi State at the end of the Qin Dynasty, but Xiang Yu did not have Tian Rong's share in dividing the princes and kings, so Tian Rong was dissatisfied with Xiang Yu in his heart. 】

[Tian Rong is a native of Di County in the late Qin Dynasty, so the Tian clan of the Qi Wangtian clan. After Chen Sheng's uprising at the end of Qin, he and his brother Tian Dan responded in Qi and restored the Qi State, and Tian Rong became the Prime Minister. Hou Tian Rong established himself as the king of Qi and raised troops against Xiang Yu.

It was precisely because of other people's rebellion against Xiang Yu that Liu Bang had a chance to breathe.

After pacifying the Three Qins, Liu Bang, in the name of avenging the king of Chu, subdued the king of Wei, the king of Henan, the king of Han, and the king of Yin, and united with Tian Rong, the king of Qi, and the king of Zhao Xie to target Xiang Yu together.

However, because the kings had different ambitions, in the next battle of Pengcheng, the coalition army was defeated by Xiang Yu.

But at the same time, after this defeat, the strength of the other major princes and kings was also lost a lot, laying the foundation for Han Xin to pacify the kings in the future. 】

[After the Battle of Pengcheng, the princes and kings who were originally allied with Liu Bang saw Liu Bang's defeat, so they fell to Xiang Yu's side again, but this gave Liu Bang an excuse to attack them. 】

[Wei Wangbao, who had already belonged to Liu Bang before, saw that Liu Bang was in decline, so he defected and joined forces with Xiang Yu, planning to attack Liu Bang from the side.

The king of Wei was heavily defended along the Yellow River, and the fortifications were tight and impeccable.

At that time, Han Xin's army only had more than 100 old boats, and if he crossed the river and attacked it, he was afraid that it would not be beneficial.

However, the most important thing Han Xin lacked was strategy, and he quickly came up with a strategy of "avoiding the real and attacking the west". 】

[Han Xin first sent 10,000 horses and warships, pretending to be ready to cross the river, attracting the main force of the Wei army to strictly guard the ferry on the opposite bank.

In another place, he led the real army north to the ancient ferry port of Xiayang.

Since the boats were concentrated downstream, Han Xin invented a special tool for crossing the river, the wooden poppy, that is, dozens of small-mouthed and big-bellied containers "poppies" were arranged in a rectangle, tied together with ropes, and clamped with wood around them.

The Han army rode this "wooden poppy" and successfully crossed the river without the Wei army noticing, and successfully attacked Anyi, the military stronghold of the Wei state. 】

[Knowing that Anyi was lost, King Wei panicked and hurriedly sent troops to the rescue.

And the 10,000 suspicious soldiers arranged by Han Xin also took the opportunity to quickly cross the river to attack, and together with the army that broke through Anyi, they flanked the Wei army.

The Wei army was flanked by the front and rear, unable to take care of each other, and finally defeated, and Han Xin's army captured Wei Wangbao alive.

Han Xin pacified the Wei State, and it took less than a month before and after.

This battle not only relieved the threat of the Han army from the flanks and revitalized the military prestige, but also spread the prestige of Han Xin all over the world. 】

[However, although Han Xin destroyed Wei, there were still vassal states such as Dai, Zhao, Yan, and Qi in the area north of the Yellow River.

To this end, the Han army was divided into two routes: one was led by Liu Bang, retreated to Xingyang, and pinned down Xiang Yu in the front; The other was led by Han Xin, who led his troops north to pacify several vassal states in the north.

The first target of Han Xin's attack was Daiguo, who was weak and was quickly defeated.

At this time, Liu Bang sent people to receive the army to supplement the needs of the Xingyang battlefield, and in the end only left Han Xin with more than 3,000 people.

Han Xin had no choice but to recruit troops on the spot, and temporarily gathered enough 30,000 people. 】

[However, Han Xin relied on this alone to successfully defeat the 200,000 army of Zhao State! 】

"In the battle of Zhao, Han Xin defeated the strong again with the weak, I really can't think of what kind of person can be ranked in front of General Han of the Han Dynasty?"

"Could it be the reincarnation of Jiang Shang and the rebirth of Sun Wu?"

"Flying Bear (Jiang Ziya Flying Bear) four reincarnations: first Jiang Shang, then Sun Bin, Zhuge Liang five hundred years ago, Liu Bowen five hundred years later!"

"You're."

[In the third year of King Han (204 BC), Han Xin led a newly recruited 30,000 horses and launched a battle to destroy Zhao.

Chen Yu, the commander of the Zhao State, mobilized 200,000 troops and stationed them at the mouth of Taihang Mountain, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and was ready for battle.

Jingchengkou is one of the famous eight passes in Taihang Mountain, and it is also the only way for the Han army to attack Zhao. It has a narrow post road of about 100 miles, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

After analyzing the situation at that time, Li Zuoche, a strategist of the Zhao State, offered advice to Chen Yu, the commander of the Zhao army, and said: "The Han army marched thousands of miles, the soldiers were hungry and tired, and the wells were narrow and long, the chariots and horses could not be parallel, and the march stretched for hundreds of miles, and its grain and grass must be behind.

Our army should defend rather than attack, as long as we dig deep ditches and build high walls, the Han army can not advance.

Then, his subordinates asked 30,000 cavalry to cut off the Han army's baggage from the path, so that Han Xin's army was in a dilemma, and there was nothing to plunder. However, in ten days, Han Xin and Zhang Er will definitely be captured! ”】

Although many years have passed since this plan, when Han Xin saw it again, his back was still wet, "It's good that Chen Yu, a fool, didn't use Li Zuoche's strategy, otherwise I, Han Xin, am afraid that I will be defeated and die." ”

[In the face of Li Zuoche's scheme, Chen Yu refused on the grounds that "the righteous soldiers do not need to deceive and trick", "the letter soldiers are few and the army is tired, so evading and not taking the initiative to attack makes the other princes think that we are cowardly, despise Zhao and come to crusade against us" and so on.

But since Li Zuoche has already been mentioned, the old man will also mention a few more words here.

This Li Zuoche is not a dog-headed military division, a reckless hero, he is the grandson of Li Mu, a famous general of Zhao State! 】

[Han Xin was also panicked, he is a master of the art of war, how could he not know his weakness?

But when he sent someone to inquire and learned that Chen Yu did not use Li Zuoche's strategy, he was immediately overjoyed, so he dared to continue to lead troops forward.

At the same time, Han Xin learned that Chen Yu's appetite was actually very big, and he wanted to swallow the Han army in one gulp.

In response to Chen Yu's psychology of blindly underestimating the enemy, Han Xinxin thought of a surprisingly winning battle plan. 】

[Han Xin led the army to be stationed at a place of more than 30 miles from the mouth of Jingcheng, and selected 2,000 young and strong cavalry from the Han army in the middle of the night, and asked each of them to hold a red flag, and when it was midnight, he quietly detoured from the mountain path to the rear of the Zhao army's base camp and ambushed it there.

At the same time, Han Xin also arranged that when the Zhao army was dispatched, he would take advantage of the emptiness of the Zhao camp to attack quickly, and then pull out all the banners of the Zhao army and replace them with the red flag of the Han army.

After Han Xin finished explaining the task, he ordered the meal to be served.

However, this expedition was different from usual, and before the battle, there was always a full meal, but this time only a small meal was prepared for the soldiers.

The soldiers didn't understand what the reason was, and Han Xin explained: "Everyone eat less first, and wait until the dawn breaks the Zhao army, and then hold a sumptuous celebration banquet!" ”

Although they didn't believe it in their hearts, the soldiers of the Han army still obeyed Han Xin's arrangement and set off. 】
