Chapter 156 Redeemer cedes the land
Lantian Pass.
Temporary Han Army garrison.
Although Liu Bang's central army had retreated here for more than ten days, the Han army units that had been waiting for a long time to meet were getting fewer and fewer than day by day. At the beginning, there were two or three defeated soldiers coming. In the past few days, they were completely impressed and could not see a team of defeated soldiers of the Han army.
The Qin army's suppression tactics began to take effect. The besieged Han army could not find any other way out except relying on the solid city walls to resist in despair.
Putting down your weapons and surrendering is the inevitable choice they face.
The longer the time is, the more unfavorable it will be for the Han army.
Han Xin's young army occupied several cities in the eastern and northeastern areas with a sweeping force. The Han army guarding here had no ability to fight back in front of Han Xin who was determined to take revenge. At the same time, after occupying Xianyang, Zhang Han began to advance towards Liyang and Linxia areas. Lu Ze's troops were attacked by the Qin army from the two routes, and the situation was already very dangerous.
"Li Yuan, this untrustful and righteous bastard, coward, bastard, dog thief--!" Liu Bang was furious, and a series of scolding came out of his mouth, and the spitting star splashed on Zhang Liang, Xiao He and others.
When it comes to shamelessness, Liu Bang has always believed that he is the first, and no one can be ahead of him. However, when he met Li Yuan's nemesis, the conditions proposed by Li Yuan seemed to be only a few deserted small towns in the western part of Hanzhong County, but in fact, it was to shake Liu Bang's foundation in Hanzhong and Bashu counties.
From Chencang Road to Ju County, through Yangping Pass and entering the hinterland of Shu County, the Qin army could completely imitate the road of Sima Cuo's attack on Shu County and extend its tentacles from Guanzhong to Shu County and Ba County in one fell swoop, thus connecting a major transportation artery across the Qinling Mountains. In this way, the Han army could lose the rear of Ba Shu at any time.
In addition to asking for land, Li Yuan was shamelessly demanding people. Lu Jia did not come back. With Liu Bang's shrewdness, he realized that Li Yuan had taken advantage of Lu Jia's talent and had the idea of taking away talent.
Liu Bang was ignorant and scolded him whenever he wanted to, which gave him a straightforward and gentle image of an elder Dundu, which made a group of Kanto heroes compete to join him. But today, they had to experience the other side of Liu Bang's character.
"Pei Gong, it turns out that there are times when he is out of control." Some of the newly resigned generals and officers in the Han army were comparing their minds.
"King of Han, please calm down. It is urgent. We must think of a comprehensive plan to see if it is important to save people or other things--!" Cao Shen looked grim, bowed respectfully, and advised him.
A general who does not care about the lives of generals and soldiers will not be supported by generals. As a commander of the Han army, Cao Shen is under great pressure now. Many Han troops were trapped and only half of them fled back to Lantian Pass. The life and death of important generals like Lu Ze and Ding Fu will directly affect the morale of Han soldiers.
"If you want to save me, I will lead my troops to rescue you. What else can you do except eat? Even a small Li Yuan can't beat him-!" Liu Bang was angry. Cao Shen's advice was just a vent to him. When Liu Bang finished his temper, Cao Shen, who was in the center of the saliva spray, had his face turned pale, pursed his lips tightly, and clenched his fists.
"King of Han, I will lead my troops to attack Le Youyuan and say goodbye!" Cao Shen said in a muffled voice, and in a hurry, a mouthful of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.
"Marquis Pingyang, don't act irritably. The King of Han was just anxious and misled his tongue for a moment, so he couldn't do it seriously!" Zhang Liang and Xiao He saw Cao Shen being frustrated in his chest, so he hurried forward to persuade him.
The Han army tent was immediately in chaos, and Liu Bang was so angry that he blew up at Cao Shen. At this time, the fire disappeared. He knew that this defeat had nothing to do with Cao Shen's ability. At this time, he calmed down and saw Cao Shen's face again, and he felt sad.
"Asan, you must not leave your brother behind and leave first!" Liu Bang hugged Cao Shen, his eyes flushed red, and a few drops of tears fell.
"Pei Gong, my subordinates are incompetent-!" Cao Shenqiang opened his eyes and moved his mouth a few times.
"I won't say it, I won't say it anymore. If Li Zhe wants land, I will give it to him. As long as all the brothers are here, one day, we will attack Guanzhong again and capture Li Zhe alive. Then, we will avenge the humiliation of today." Liu Bang stood up angrily and said loudly to the generals. At this moment, his appearance was so sympathetic and pity that Li Yuan, who bullied such a gentle elder, instantly turned into an unforgivable villain in the hearts of the generals.
Acting is Liu Bang's strength.
Relying on a series of wonderful dramas, Liu Bang successfully reversed his unfavorable image of repeated defeats in the minds of his subordinates. His current image is a hero who fights repeatedly and fights to the end.
Qin and Han dynasties were engaged in arduous negotiations on how to end this war that lasted for more than two months. In terms of details, Liu Bang and Li Yuan delegated their power to two strategists under their rank, Zhang Liang and Chen Ping.
Three heroes in the early Han Dynasty.
Two of them became the chief think tanks of the hostile camp in this time and space. Their battle of wits and courage and speculation between them was another wonderful drama.

At the end of February.
The war in Guanzhong has gradually subsided. On both sides of the Wei River, except for Liyang, the Han general Lu Ze, the remnants of the Han army in the rest of the area have been sank by the Qin army.
After winning consecutive battles, the Qin army captured more than ten Han generals including Zhou Ke, Ding Fu, Zhu Juan, and more than 10,000 soldiers. Unlike the Chu army that fought to the end, the Han army's will to resist was not very strong. This may be due to the different styles of Liu Bang and Xiang Yu leading troops.
In front of Lantian Pass.
The Qin and Han armies confronted each other. After repeated verbal attacks by Chen Ping and Zhang Liang, the peace talks finally took a big step towards the end of the war.
The Han State agreed to ced the Ju County (Luoyang), Hechi and Yangping Pass in the western part of Hanzhong County to Qin. At the same time, after the Han army completed the handover of prisoners, the entire army retreated to the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains. At this point, Liu Bang's troops no longer retained one soldier in Guanzhong. Correspondingly, the Qin State wanted to return the Han army captured in this battle to the Han army. For fairness, the Han army had to pay a certain amount of redemption fees. The specific amount of the two parties would not indicate it in the treaty and would be implemented as a private clause.
For Liu Bang, who cherishes his reputation, paying a ransom to a descendant like Li Yuan is a very shameless thing. The ransom is not specified, but an additional clause he strongly requested. In order not to make it public, Liu Bang is willing to pay more redemption fees.
Li Yuan readily agreed to Liu Bang's request. Benefits are always more useful than Xu Ming. The construction of Guanzhong requires more money and food. Li Yuan naturally cannot get it.
