Qin conquered Han.

The Qin army in Wuguan and Luoyang was concluding a large number of negotiations. It was obvious that this was a posture to defeat the Han army. Liu Bang was shocked when he learned of the urgent beacon fire report from the Han army scouts. Starting from the beginning of the year, he sent out several

Lu envoy went to various princes to lobby for another chance of cooperation to fight against the Qin Dynasty, but the final result made him disappointed.

Together we resisted the Qin Dynasty.

This is the oath that the princes made when they met.

Zhang Er's suggestion of an alliance failed, and Liu Bang was unwilling to send Zhang Liang to Pengcheng to lobby. Zhang Liang and Zhang Er came together. From the perspective of lobbying and argumentation, the camp was really luxurious.

In order to eliminate Xiang Yu's hostility, Zhang Liang paid a large sum of money to bribe Xiang Bo, who had already stepped aside. Xiang Bo was also attentive. After harassing Xiang Yu non-stop, Zhang Liang finally met the newly married Xiang Yu.

Newlyweds.

In Zhang Liang's eyes, Xiang Yu's complexion was much more energetic than a year ago. This was probably due to the rare battles he had taken recently. A winter of training was a powerful supplement to Xiang Yu's long-tired body.

Xiang Yu is a natural warrior, and being silent for too long will definitely make him uncomfortable. However, after Zhang Liang carefully proposed that Chu and Han unite to fight against Qin, Xiang Yu refused without hesitation.

The reason left Zhang Liang, a wise man, speechless.

Recently, the beauty Yu Ji suddenly fell ill. Xiang Yu, the overlord who loved the country and the beauty even more, decided to stay in Pengcheng and stay by Yu Ji's side.

What kind of bullshit reason is this for rejection? If you don’t want a relationship, then you don’t want a relationship. There are plenty of women, so when will we be able to put it on the table?

If this is really the case, if Liu Bang, the King of Han, has two women, Lu Pheasant and Qi Ji, who are having a lot of trouble, then Liu Bang can simply retire and not be the King of Han.

Zhang Liang returned sadly. A wise man with a fox-like mind could only do nothing when he encountered an unreasonable opponent. After Xiang Yu showed a negative attitude, those little people who met him praised him for his righteousness and benevolence as the King of Han.

The princes avoided each other one by one, but the powerful princes like Wei Bao, Wu Rui, and Zhao Xie expressed that there had been many thieves in the territory recently, and all the troops in their hands were used to suppress the bandits, and there was no spare power to support them.

Han Dynasty.

The inability to send troops to resist Qin was the reason that was put on the table. In private, the rumors Zhang Liang heard were even more unbearable.

"The King of Han is unwise. He went to assassinate Li Yuan. This has set him on fire, and I am really helpless." This was the attitude of Changsha King Wu Rui, who had always had a good relationship with Liu Bang.

"The King of Han is just a hypocrite who pretends to be benevolent and righteous." This is the attitude of Wei Bao, the king of the Western Wei Dynasty. The Wei army was greatly deceived by Liu Bang when they jointly attacked Xingyang. Not only were more than ten thousand troops annexed, but even the general Wu Pu was trapped and died.

At the gate of Xingyang City, Wei Bao is still brooding over this unjust case.

"That Liu Bang guy, today is also here." Peng Yue, a big thief active in Juyeze, couldn't help but screamed happily after receiving the news that the Qin army was conquering the Han Dynasty.

Like Wei Bao, Peng Yue also had personal experience of Liu Bang's shameless style. As a rival along the way, Peng Yue watched Li Yuan grow from a small soldier to a country's ruler over the years. The jealous princes have always said that Li Yuan

With the help of former Prime Minister Li Si, Peng Yue, who understood the truth, admired Li Yuan even more.

"It seems that a war is about to break out between Qin and Han. If you want to be safe, it is best to leave Yingcheng early." This was the plan of some well-informed people under Liu Bang.

Taking refuge with Liu Bang is just a way of making ends meet.

There is no need to risk your life. Without the King of Han, there are also the King of Wei, the King of Changsha, the King of Yan, etc. If it doesn't work out, just run to Pengcheng and beg the Overlord for a piece of food.

Different people have different understandings of the current situation, but they all express their disdain for Liu Bang.

——.

Thirty years to the east of the river, thirty to the west of the river.

The princes were all just helpless and could not be counted on. And Liu Bang, the former commander-in-chief of Chu's Western Expeditionary Army, began to lose his appeal after his character was ruined again and again.

He fought alone against the powerful Qin.

If it were a year ago, if the Qin army invaded, he, Lao Liu, would not be afraid at all.

What can a remnant Qin, a group of remnant soldiers who have been driven around, do anything? But now, Liu Bang no longer dares to relax at all.

Who is Li Yuan?

He was the great enemy who killed Fan Kuai, Fu Kuan, Li Shiqi, Zhou Gou, Zhou Spy, Cao Shen and other Han generals. He was the old enemy who drove Liu Bang back to Hanzhong from the fertile Guanzhong, and then from Hanzhong to Nanjun. Guanzhong

It was impossible to penetrate at all, and the foundation of Hanzhong was lost again. Under the pressure of the Qin army, it was God's help that the Han army was able to occupy Linjiang to rest.

If only he hadn't been so determined to kill Li Yuan, hadn't he still pursued him relentlessly after he reached the Yongqi border, hadn't he followed the example of Prince Dan of Yan and sent Jing Ke to assassinate him when he saw signs of Qin becoming stronger.

Qin tried to get rid of it once and for all, so how could the first target of the Qin army's attack be the Han Kingdom?

Every time he thought about this, Liu Bang couldn't help but regret.

At the same time, they also complained about the subordinates who instigated the attack on Qin. Under this unfavorable situation, the people of Han were panicked, and the military preparations for war almost came to a standstill.

In terms of military affairs, after Cao Shen died in battle and Li Shang surrendered, Zhou Bo took over as the Taiwei of the Han Dynasty and was responsible for the organization, training and expansion of the Han army. Compared with Cao Shen, Zhou Bo's ability was still slightly inferior, but compared to

For other Han generals, Zhou Bo has done quite well.

In the Battle of Xicheng, more than 10,000 Han troops were annihilated, and the Li Shang troops stranded in Shu County collapsed. Under such difficult circumstances, Zhou Bo led the Han army to conquer the east and west based on Nanjun and Nanyang counties.

They wiped out the remaining forces of Gong Ao and incorporated many groups of thieves active in the Yangtze River. At the same time, they quickly expanded the Han army to nearly 200,000 people through forced recruitment.

In response to the Qin army's attack, Han Dynasty Taiwei Zhou Bo led more than 70,000 main troops to defend Wancheng in Nanyang County, trying to solidify the city with strong troops and make a long-term defense plan. At the same time, Liu Bang gathered ten troops in Yingdu.

Tens of thousands of troops are ready to either reinforce Zhou Bo or run away at any time——.

The affairs of the country are like this, and the affairs of the family are also boring.

The Yingdu area of ​​Nanjun County is located in the Heze River area and has a humid climate. For Liu Bang, an elderly man in his fifties, such a place is not suitable for retirement and health care.

What worried Liu Bang even more was that there was a fire in the inner house. As Qi Ji gave birth to her son Liu Ruyi, the competition for the successor to the King of Han became more and more intense.

On one side are the wife Lu Fei and the eldest son Liu Ying, who are strong and share the joys and sorrows together, and on the other hand are the gentle and lovely beauty Qi Ji's daughter Liu Ruyi.

Caught between two women and two forces, Liu Bang felt physically and mentally exhausted. When he fell ill again and again, the overt and covert fighting between Lu Pheasant and Qi Ji became more and more intensified.

The king of Han was already very old.

I don't know which day I will be unable to sleep. If that day comes, who will inherit the throne, Liu Ying or Liu Ruyi. According to the current incompatible situation, if one party comes to power, it will be the end of the other party.

——.

In the fourth year of the Qin and Xin calendar years, April 2nd.

On the battlefield in the north of Nanyang County, the Qin army's partial division responsible for covering the mission suddenly launched an attack. Shenwu Hou Li Yuan personally led 10,000 infantry and 5,000 cavalry from north to south along the road from Luoyang in Sanchuan County to Wancheng in Nanyang County.

Come and kill.

The news reached Wancheng.

Zhou Bo, the leader of the Han army, immediately turned gloomy. He had experienced Li Yuan's power many times, but failed to take advantage every time. After some consideration, Zhou Bo decided to immediately mobilize the main force of the Han army to the north of Wancheng.

But unlike before, this time, Zhou Bo no longer had Cao Shen standing behind him. He had to stand alone to resist the Qin army's attack.

From April 2nd to 10th.

The Qin and Han armies fought fiercely in the hilly area in the north of Nanyang County. Su Jiao and Meng Hu's cavalry troops were like a group of flying falcons that came and went without a trace, constantly harassing the slow-moving and irregular Han army.

This made the Han generals who rushed into the army miserable.

The numerical advantage became insignificant in the face of the natural difference between cavalry and infantry. Zhou Bo had no choice but to gather his generals into groups again and again to resist the attacks of the Qin cavalry.

April 11th.

The war situation suddenly changed. Han Xin's Eastern Expedition Qin Army left Wuguan, divided into two groups and marched eastward along the Han River. On April 13, they arrived at Deng County and Fancheng in the Hanzhong Plain.

On the 15th, Qin general Cao Xin quickly marched eastward. With the help of auxiliary troops, he led his Yueshi soldiers to suppress the city wall with dense and accurate long-distance bows and arrows, and then used ramming cars to force open the city gate. Liu Jia, the Han general in Fancheng,

Although about 3,000 soldiers were mobilized to defend the city, under Cao Xin's fierce attack, the city fell after only one day and night.

Liu Jia was defeated and led the remaining troops to retreat to the Wancheng area. Almost at the same time that Fancheng was broken, the Han army in Deng County (Xinye) was besieged by the Ba warriors of Feng Xuan's tribe and surrendered after two days of hard work.

The Qin army rapidly advanced eastward.

Wherever they went, the Han army either collapsed or raised white flags and surrendered. Liu Jia was Liu Bei's cousin and had always been mature and prudent in marching and fighting. The terrain of Fancheng was easy to defend and difficult to attack, but he did not expect that he would be defeated by the Qin army in just one day and night.

The city was broken. The outstanding performance of the Hu and Ba soldiers who were the first to ascend made the Han generals frightened.

April 19th.

Feng Xuan, the vanguard of Han Xin's army, quickly moved south from the trail and suddenly appeared on the outskirts of Ying City. This incident changed the mood of the whole Han Dynasty.

The layers of defense turned out to be a laughing stock. In panic, Liu Bang sent Guan Ying, Lu Ze and other generals to carry out a large-scale raid on the Jiangze Plain area, trying to encircle and annihilate the infiltrated enemies in one fell swoop. But Feng Propaganda Department was frightened.

After Liu Bang, he seemed to have disappeared, escaping westward into the vast primeval jungle of Shennongjia and missing his whereabouts.

Subsequently, Han Xin's army, which was marching to Yingdu and directly to the capital of the Han Dynasty, suddenly turned again from the Han River Basin, from south to north, and attacked the back of Zhou Bo's Han army. The unprepared Han army's baggage troops were attacked by the Qin army.
