Li Yuan's army quickly returned to the rescue, and the vanguard Guan Ying was unfavorable to attack the city. Liu Bang's army, which had been smooth sailing since entering Guanzhong, fell into a dilemma of losing power.

By the Wei River.

The Central Army of King Liu Bang of Han.

Flashes of angry curses came, mixed with the crisp sound of a bottle falling to the ground. Cheng Chu came out of the tent with a gray face. There were a few turbid vegetable stains on the armor on his chest, which shone with green light in the winter sun.

Cheng Chu picked an inappropriate time and reported to Liu Bang that Guan Ying was unfavorable to attack the city. Before Cheng Chu arrived, Liu Bang was scolding Chongda, Ding Fu and others repeatedly. Cheng Chu's arrival replaced Chongda and the three others who were extremely unlucky, and made them look sympathetic when they turned around and left.

The war to encircle Wugong Mountain gave Liu Bang a headache when he thought about it. Chongda, Ding Fu, Zhu Juan, who was known as an expert in mountain forest warfare, spent five days, but brought back a Qin general who was unknown to him. As for the person he was to kill, Han Xin ran to somewhere.

Unable to catch Han Xin, he learned that King Yong Zhanghan rebelled again. Not only did he defect to his mortal enemy Li Yuan, but he also killed the Han envoy Li Shiqi. How could Liu Bang resist his temper? Li Shiqi was not only Liu Bang's capable diplomatic talent, but also his drinker. Although, after Zhang Liang defected, Liu Bang generally adopted Zhang Liang's suggestions in the general direction, this did not mean that Li Shiqi had completely lost Liu Bang's trust.

"Qin Dogs, Li Thief, all of them will die!" Liu Bang was furious. Since becoming the King of Han, Liu Bang has rarely been so angry. When the servants who followed him thought about it carefully, they can trace back to the scene in Xingyang. It seems 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 thought grew, sprouted and slowly grew up in the hearts of some servants. The nutrients it needed were Liu Bang's ugly face again and again, and he was furious again and again.

"King of Han, Zhang Han rebelled again, and our army was attacked from both sides. The most urgent task is to gather the troops as soon as possible, and then cross the south bank of the Wei River to make a long-term plan." Zhang Liang and Liu Bang were angry for a moment and hurriedly advised him.

"Zifang, tell me, why is this? Why is Li Thief so lucky every time? Why doesn't God bring good luck to me, Mr. Liu? Is it because I have less sacrifices, or is it because I am a Chu?" Liu Bang was still in a bad mood and shouted hatefully.

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

"What the King of Han, Liu Hou said is reasonable. The Qin and Yong armies came with a fierce momentum. Our army was scattered in various places and were easily defeated by them. It would be better to abandon the north bank and use the Wei River as the boundary to block the enemy's advance south. As long as we can survive the cold winter, we can send troops from Hanzhong to support. The Li bandits' soldiers were weak and they had to occupy a large area of ​​territory. They would inevitably not be able to take into account both the front and the tail." General Cao Shen also plundered the courage to advise after Zhang Liang.

"It's not easy to fight again. Over the years, we have fought with Li Zhe for three times. Which time has really defeated him?" Liu Bang sighed.

"King of Han, you must not be discouraged. Li Zhe is just a moment of luck. How could this fortune always take care of him?" Xiao He and Zhou Bo all advised him.

Liu Bang is the head of their group of people. Although Liu Bang seems to be ignorant and has no special skills, he is in winning people's hearts and leading the team. Liu Bang's ability is beyond his authority. Without others, the Han army will not affect its existence. If Liu Bang is missing, the army will disband.

"Well, let the Li thief be proud again. Come and the whole army crosses the river and moves forward!" Liu Bang helped the generals one by one, with tears scattering in his eyes.

Man conquers nature.

This sentence was once regarded as an inspiration for Liu Bang.

But now, he was shaken.

If God regards Li Yuan as the inheritor, then what is Liu Bang? Is it the stone on the road of the hero stepping on the stairs? If it weren't for looking at the old brothers and the trusted generals, the enthusiasm in his heart would have long stopped.

——.

The third year of the Qin Xinli period, on the 25th 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.

There were more laughter and joy in Yongzhou City than in previous years. The villagers who came to the party from all corners of the countryside said roughly the same tone, but there were different Qin operas when they were divided, which made people feel the urge to integrate into it.

"Hey, auntie, this is freshly ground powder, what is the price?" Gu Yunniang stopped in front of a stall and stretched her hand that had been ground into a hot bag.

It is more than fifty miles from Qishan to Yong County. If you use a mule cart, half a day will be enough. Gu Yunniang got up early and accompanied several sisters-in-law from the village to the city to buy some New Year's goods.

Times have changed.

The current Yong County town is very different from a few months ago. The neglect of Suzhao no longer exists, and it is replaced by a prosperous scene.

"Li Yuan, that idiot, he——I wonder if he was doing well, would he remember that there was a humble woman waiting for an illusory result." Gu Yunniang thought so, and Tingting stood on the long street, allowing the crowds to pass by. At this moment, she seemed to have returned to the intoxicating charm of the former Yingyang courtesan.

"Princess, look, that sister is so beautiful!" The little maid exclaimed, which made Zhao Yuman, who had just stepped out of a ready-to-wear shop, look up.

Princess Zhao Yuman of Huating is still a girlish girlish. She left the house early in the morning. Without the constraints of etiquette in the palace, this innocent girl suddenly looked like a bird out of the cage. In the sky of late winter and early spring, she was flying freely and laughing.

Gu Yunniang's unique temperament and confused and helpless expression not only made the passing men look sideways, but also attracted Zhao Yuman, who had just learned how to dress up.

"Go back to home!" Zhao Yuman looked at her for a while, and her expression suddenly changed. As a gossip lover, Zhao Yuman has an amazing memory. Although she had only seen her in a distance at the Yongxian station a few months ago, she could still remember Gu Yunniang's appearance.

This is an opponent that cannot be underestimated.

Hasn't she left Yongcheng? Why is she back again? No, the sisters are united and the profits are cut off. Such a major event must be reported to my sister quickly.

Zhao Yuman clearly understood the ambiguous relationship between Zhao Yushu and Li Yuan. A young and handsome and talented and heroic figure like Li Yuan. Which woman doesn’t like it or which woman doesn’t like it? Zhao Yuman had already thought of having sisters together and compete with other foreign women.

The world of women is men.

The world of men is the world.

Where there are women, there are palace fights; where there are men, there are battles. At this point, both ancients and modern people have never changed. In Liu Bang's **, Lu Zhi fought with Qi Ji to the death; on Li Yuan's side, the Ying sisters and Gu Yunniang also began to use some small tricks to suspicion.
