"Qin Jun? Lone was about to look for them, but they sent it to the door themselves. Xiang Yu turned his head to look at Fan Zeng: "Father, let's go and have a look." ”

The envoy of the Qin army was Han Xin's subordinate Zuo Chang Humility to him, and he was fortunate to cut Xiang Yu with a sword that day, and saw that Xiang Yu was not stage frightened, and greeted the princes and kings according to the etiquette of the messenger of the Son of Heaven.

Xiang Yu didn't care, after completing a set of processes, he expressed the purpose of the trip and presented the list of exchanges.

Seeing this list, to be honest, Xiang Yu was still a little overjoyed, as long as he could exchange for Yu Ji and Xiang Zhuang, and he didn't have to risk sending troops to fight the Qin State, he was very happy.

Although I thought so in my heart, I still had to discuss it with Fan Ya's father, after all, as soon as the people came down the mountain, it was not good for them to make their own opinions: "Qin Envoy, you go down first, and wait for Gu to discuss with Yafu before making a decision." ”

After he retreated, Xiang Yu handed the list to Fan Zeng: "What does Father think?" ”

"The old man wants to ask the king, does Yu Ji have to be saved?"

Xiang Yu was silent for a while, and then replied categorically: "Yu Ji is Lone's second life, and anything in the world can be abandoned, but she is the only one, Lone will never leave it behind." ”

Looking at Xiang Yu who was serious, Fan Zeng was helpless: "Then let's change it, this year's Chu land has a bumper harvest, and two or three hundred thousand stone grains and grass can still be scraped together, and the rest, you can issue an edict to collect it from other princes." ”

"As for the gold, I also issued an edict to let those princes and kings get together, if they don't obey, we will take it ourselves, anyway, we should give them some color to see, the province thinks Yu'er you can't lift the knife."

Xiang Yu bowed deeply, and then said viciously: "Father Xie Ya is considerate, and Gu also thinks it's time to teach them a lesson, the tiger doesn't show his might and thinks I'm a sick cat." ”

"Having said that, we can still bargain, and if we can do less, we can pay less."

"It's up to the Father!"

The bargaining between the two military groups was a process of wits and courage, and after many negotiations, the two sides finally negotiated, and after obtaining Li Feng's consent, Han Xin agreed to Xiang Yu.

"500,000 stone grain and grass, 400,000 taels of gold, 3,000 good horses, 20 boxes of pearls and jade, the two countries agreed that no war should be launched within three years, and Yu Ji and Xiang Zhuang could be sent back."

"All the materials will be sent to Hangu Pass within four months, and there must be no mistakes, otherwise Xiang Zhuang will be beheaded and shown to the public, and Yu Ji will be charged into the Jiaofang Division, and I hope that King Xiang will not make a mistake."

Han Xin is not polite at all, how aggrieved he was under Xiang Yu's account back then, and how arrogant he is now.

"Han Xin, this traitor, deceives people too much!"

Xiang Yu was angry, but he was helpless, he knew exactly what the Jiaofang Division was, and now that the initiative was in the hands of others, he had to succumb.

Grain and grass were to be raised, and gold, horses, treasures, and other goods needed to be let the princes bleed.

An edict was issued from Pengcheng, asking Zhang Er, the king of Changshan, Wei Bao, the king of Western Wei, Liu Bang, the king of Qi, Yingbu, the king of Jiujiang, Zhao Xie, the king of Linjiang, and Gongao, the king of Linjiang, to make up the points together.

Unexpectedly, only Yingbu contributed 30,000 yuan, and the other princes were crying and pushing back one by one.

Seeing that Xiang Yu was gradually losing the hearts of the people, Liu Bang ostensibly threatened to raise military salaries to support his good brothers, but in fact, he secretly contacted Zhang Er, Wei Bao, Zhao Xie, Gong Ao, Wu Rui, and Zang Tu, a total of seven princes, to oppose Xiang Yu in the name of killing the righteous emperor and blackmailing the princes for no reason.

Among them, the king of Linjiang and the king of Hengshan took the lead in attacking, gathering a total of 200,000 troops, purchasing a large number of weapons such as fierce fire oil and siege vehicles specially made by Liu Bang, and breaking through the royal city of Yingbu, the king of Jiujiang, with lightning speed, and Yingbu fled in embarrassment.

Xiang Yu was in a hurry, selected athletes in the army, formed 30,000 elite cavalry, and gathered his subordinates Zhong Liwu, Chen Wu, Ji Bu, Chen Ping, Luan Bu, Yingbu and other famous generals to conquer Gongao and Wu Rui.

Under the first battle, the Chu army descended from the sky like a divine soldier, killing the combined forces of Gongao and Wu Rui to the point of losing their armor and crushing the army.

However, after recovering Yingbu's territory, in the name of losing his division and land, he canceled Yingbu's royal title, set up Jiujiang County, incorporated Jiujiang territory into the realm of Western Chu, and sent the general Zhong Liwu to garrison.

Although Yingbu was dissatisfied, he did not dare to attack.

Now Xiang Yu finally realized that the sub-feudal system was wrong, and was preparing to continue the attack, and when he destroyed the King of Linjiang and the King of Hengshan in a battle, Pengcheng was in a hurry.

In addition, the princes of the five roads sent a total of 600,000 troops, elected Liu Bang as the leader of the alliance, attacked the Chu land, attacked the city along the way, and soon came to the city of Pengcheng, and the defender Peng Yue saw that the situation was not good, and surrendered the city.

Chen Ping, who stayed in the city, was alert in advance and escaped overnight to ask Xiang Yu for help.

When Xiang Yu learned about it, he was furious and immediately decided that after two days of rest, the army would send troops to Pengcheng.

Liu Bang and Xiang Yu broke up completely.

After easily taking Pengcheng, Liu Bang thought that Xiang Yu's lair had been uprooted, and underestimated the possibility of Xiang Yu's rapid counterattack, and neglected his vigilance, neither meeting Xiang Yu's strategic plan to attack Pengcheng with a possible counterattack, nor making corresponding combat deployments, but assured and boldly looted treasures and beauties in the city, and drank and had fun with the beautiful ministers in Xiang Yu's palace all day long, celebrating the victory.

At midnight, when the big war came, Liu Bang and other princes and kings were still sleeping with beauties, and Xiang Yu had already come to ten miles outside Pengcheng and was cheering for the soldiers:

"Brothers, you are the most relied on Jiangdong soldiers, since the beginning of the army, you have always been invincible, invincible, no one has ever dared to spread wilderness on the heads of our Jiangdong soldiers."

Xiang Yu pointed in the direction of Pengcheng and shouted to all the soldiers: "But now, Liu Bang, Wei Bao and those despicable villains have actually captured our Pengcheng, our fathers, old folks, wives and children are suffering from their humiliation, and our goods are plundered by them, what do you say?" ”

"Kill back, kill! Kill! The officers and men of the Chu army were furious.

"Okay, in this battle, I want you to let go and kill until you kill all those miscellaneous pieces."

Xiang Yu led the army from Lunan to Pengcheng direction, the first battle through Ludi defeated the Han army in the flawed hill, beheaded Liu Bang's general Xiahou Ying, and then immediately galloped to Huling, taking advantage of the darkness of the night to surround Xiaoyi, which was overwhelming.

At dawn, it bypassed the solid head of Pengcheng and suddenly launched a general attack from the flank.

The Han army was unexpectedly assaulted, and could not organize effective resistance at all, so they fled in the direction of the Pengcheng base camp, Xiang Yu chased to the base camp, and Liu Bang and other princes were still meeting with Zhou.

In the face of the sudden attack of Xiang Yu's army, they trampled on each other and made a mess, and then the army was defeated like a mountain, and more than 100,000 people were killed by Xiang Yu's army in the suburbs of Pengcheng.

At this time, Liu Bang and others woke up, and in a hurry, they led the army to flee to the south, relying on the so-called new weapons they had developed, trying to take advantage of the favorable terrain to organize a counterattack in the Luliang Mountain area.
