Li Yuan's army quickly returned to support, but Guan Ying, the vanguard, failed to attack the city again. Liu Bang's army, which had been going smoothly since entering Guanzhong, fell into a dilemma.

By the Wei River.

The military tent of Liu Bang, King of Han Dynasty.

Waves of angry curses were heard, mixed with the crisp sound of bottles falling to the ground. Cheng Chu came out of the tent with a gloomy look. There were a few turbid vegetable stains on the armor on his chest. In the winter,

Under the sun, green light shines.

Cheng Chu chose an inappropriate time to report to Liu Bang the news about Guan Ying's unlucky attack on the city. Before Cheng Chu arrived, Liu Bang was scolding Chong Da, Ding Fu and others. Cheng Chu's arrival replaced the bad luck.

Zhong Da and the other three people were at the extreme point, so they all gave Cheng Chu a sympathetic look when they turned to leave.

The battle to encircle Wugong Mountain gave Liu Bang a headache just thinking about it. Chong Da, Ding Fu, Zhu Juan and other Han generals who were known as experts in mountain warfare spent five days, but they brought back the head of an unknown Qin general.

As for the person who really wanted to kill, Han Xin, he ran away to nowhere.

After failing to capture Han Xin, he learned that Yong Wang Zhanghan rebelled again. He not only defected to his mortal enemy Li Yuan, but also killed the Han envoy Li Shiqi. This made Liu Bang unable to control his temper. Li Shiqi not only

Liu

Li Shiqi was Bang's capable diplomacy and was also his drinking buddy. Although Liu Bang generally adopted Zhang Liang's suggestions in general directions after Zhang Liang's defection, this did not mean that Li Shiqi had completely lost Liu Bang's trust.

"Qin dog, Li thief, all of them will die!" Liu Bang was furious. Ever since he became the king of Han, Liu Bang had rarely been so angry. When the attendants who followed him thought about it, they could trace it back to Xingyang.

After a while, it seemed that Liu Bang's anger was also related to Li Yuan.

Could it be that Li Yuan is really the nemesis of the King of Han?

This idea breeds, sprouts, and slowly grows in the hearts of some close servants, and the nourishment it needs is Liu Bang's ugly face time and time again, and his anger again and again.

"King Han, Zhang Han has rebelled again. Our army is surrounded by enemies from both sides. The most urgent task is to gather the troops as soon as possible and then cross to the south bank of the Wei River for a long-term plan." Zhang Liang and other Liu Bang calmed down for a while and hurriedly admonished.

"Zifang, tell me, why is this? Why is Thief Li so lucky every time? Why doesn't God bring good luck to me, Mr. Liu? Is it because I don't sacrifice enough, or am I?"

Is it because of the Chu people?" Liu Bang was still upset and shouted bitterly.

Zhang Liang did not believe in the legends of gods and monsters, and of course, he would not persuade Liu Bang not to believe the nonsense of these alchemists.

"What the King of Han and Marquis Liu said makes sense. The Qin and Yong armies are coming in a winning streak with fierce momentum. Our armies are scattered in various places and are easily defeated by each one. It is better to abandon the north bank and use the Weishui River as the boundary to block the enemy's southward advance.

, As long as we can survive the cold winter, we can send troops from Hanzhong to help. Major General Li Zebing is weak and he has to occupy a large area, so he will not be able to take care of both ends." After Zhang Liang, General Cao Shen also plucked up the courage to advise.

"Fighting again is easier said than done. Over the past few years, we have fought against Li Thief no less than three times. How many times have we truly defeated him?" Liu Bang sighed.

"King Han, you must not be discouraged. Li Thief is just lucky for a moment. How can this luck always take care of him?" Xiao He and Zhou Bo tried their best to admonish him.

Liu Bang is the leader of their group. Even though Liu Bang seems not academic and has no special skills, in terms of winning people's hearts and leading a team, Liu Bang's ability is unparalleled. The Han army will not be affected if it lacks others.

existence, without Liu Bang, this army would be disbanded.

"Well, let's let Thief Li be proud again. Come, the whole army will cross the river and move in!" Liu Bang helped the generals up one by one, with tears faintly falling in his eyes.

Man can conquer heaven.

This sentence was once regarded by Liu Bang as a motto to inspire him.

But now, he was shaken.

If God regards Li Yuan as his successor, then what does Liu Bang mean to him, just a stone on the hero's path? If he hadn't looked at a group of old brothers and a group of trusted generals, the energy in his heart would have stopped long ago.

——.

In the third year of the Qin and Xin calendar years, it was the twenty-fifth day of the first lunar month.

A light snow covered a small area of ​​Yongzhou, bringing a touch of laughter and a touch of New Year's atmosphere to the newly renovated long street.

In the city of Yongzhou, there were more laughter and laughter than in previous years. The folks who came from all over the country to gather together spoke in similar tones, but when subdivided into different Qin operas, people listened and felt a sense of integration.

The urge to go in.

"Hey, aunt, this is freshly ground flour, what's the price?" Gu Yunniang stopped in front of a stall and put her calloused palms into the warm bag.

There is a distance of more than fifty miles from Qishan to Yongxian County. If you use a mule cart, half a day is enough. Gu Yunniang got up early on purpose and accompanied several elder sisters-in-law from the village to the city to buy some supplies for the New Year.

something.

Times have changed.

Today's Yongxian city is very different from a few months ago. The desolate situation in Sutiao no longer exists, and instead, there is a thriving scene.

"Li Yuan, that idiot, he——, I wonder if he is living a good life, will he remember that there is a humble woman, waiting foolishly for an illusory result." Gu Yunniang thought like this, and just like that

Tingting stood on the long street, letting people pass by. At this moment, she seemed to have returned to the intoxicating grace of the Xingyang courtesan in the past.

"Princess, look, that sister is so beautiful!" the maidservant exclaimed, causing Zhao Yuman, who had just stepped out of a clothing store, to look up.

Princess Zhao Yuman of Huating was still a girl at heart. She went out early in the morning. Without the restraints of the etiquette and etiquette in the palace, this innocent girl suddenly seemed like a bird out of its cage. In the late winter and early spring sky of Yongqi

, flying freely and joyfully.

Gu Yunniang's unique temperament and confused expression not only attracted the attention of men passing by, but also attracted Zhao Yuman, who was new to dressing up.

"Go back home!" Zhao Yuman looked at it intently for a while, and his expression suddenly changed. As a lover of gossip and rumors, Zhao Yuman has an amazing memory. Although it was only a few months ago, he hurriedly visited the inn in Yong County far away.

She had met Gu Yunniang once, and she could still remember Gu Yunniang's appearance.

This is an opponent that cannot be underestimated.

Didn't she already leave Yongcheng? Why did she come back again? No, sisters work together, and they can break gold. Such important matters must be reported to sister as soon as possible.

As for the ambiguous relationship between Zhao Yushu and Li Yuan, Zhao Yuman knew very well that any woman would not like and love a young, handsome, talented and heroic man like Li Yuan. Zhao Yuman's little

She had already had the idea in her mind that the sisters would join forces to compete with other foreign women.

Women's world is men's.

Men's world is the world.

Where there are women, there are palace fights; where there are men, there are battles. On this point, whether it is ancient people or modern people, it has never changed. In Liu Bang's novels, Lu Pheasant and Qi Ji fight
