Chapter 231: Enemy on the back

Qin State attacked the Han Dynasty.

The Qin army in Wuguan and Luoyang were concluding in large numbers, which was obviously a scheming of the Han army. When he learned about the urgent reports of the Han army scouts, Liu Bang was shocked. Since the beginning of the year, he has sent several envoys to lobby the princes in various places, seeking another opportunity to join forces to fight against Qin, but the final result disappointed him.

Jointly resist the tyrannical Qin.

This is the oath that the princes made an appointment.

Zhang Er proposed that the alliance could not be achieved. Liu Bang, who was unwilling to accept it, sent Zhang Liang to lobby again in Pengcheng. Zhang Liang and Zhang Er made a move. From the perspective of lobbying and debate, the camp was really luxurious.

In order to eliminate Xiang Yu's hostility, Zhang Liang used a lot of money to bribe Xiang Bo, who had already stood aside. Xiang Bo was also careful. After harassing Xiang Yu continuously, Zhang Liang finally met Xiang Yu, who had been newly married.

Newly married.

In Zhang Liang's eyes, Xiang Yu's complexion was much more energetic than a year ago. This is probably because of the rare war in recent days. It is a powerful supplement to Xiang Yu's long-lasting body.

Xiang Yu was a natural warrior. Too long silence would definitely make him uncomfortable. However, after Zhang Liang carefully proposed the proposal of the Chu-Han alliance and the joint resistance of Qin, Xiang Yu refused without hesitation.

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

Recently, the beauty Yu Ji suddenly felt sick. Xiang Yu, the overlord who loved Jiangshan and even more, decided to stay in Pengcheng and stay by Yu Ji's side and not stay away.

What a bullshit reason to refuse? If you don’t want to join the ally, you don’t want to join the lyrics. Some women have, when will they be put on the table and say it?

If that's the case, the Han King Liu Bang also had two women, Lu Zhi and Qi Ji, who were having a big fight. Then could Liu Bang simply retire and not be the King of Han?

Zhang Liang returned sadly. When the wise man who was as wise as a fox met an unreasonable opponent, he could only do nothing. After Xiang Yu showed a negative attitude, the little princes who praised him, Gao Yi and Ren Wang, avoided him one by one. However, the powerful princes such as Wei Bao, Wu Rui and Zhao Xie all said that the thieves in the territory have recently risen. The troops in their hands have been used to suppress the rebellious bandits, and they have no spare strength to support the Han Kingdom.

The reason why he was unable to send troops to fight against Qin was put on the table. In private, the rumors Zhang Liang heard were even more unbearable.

"The King of Han is not wise, and he actually assassinated Li Yuan, which caused trouble. I am really powerless." This is the attitude of Wu Rui, the King of Changsha who has always had a good relationship with Liu Bang.

"The King of Han is just a hypocrite with false benevolence and righteousness." This comes from the attitude of Wei Bao, the King of Western Wei. When the Wei army was jointly attacked Xingyang, they were cheated by Liu Bang. Not only were more than 10,000 troops annexed, but even the general Wu Pu was trapped in the city of Xingyang. Wei Bao is still worried about this headless injustice.

"That guy Liu Bang is today." After receiving the news of the Qin army's attack on the Han Dynasty, Peng Yue couldn't help but scream happily.

Like Wei Bao, Peng Yue also had personal experience of Liu Bang's shameless style. As an opponent along the way, Peng Yue has watched Li Yuan grow from a small soldier to a country ruler over the years. Those jealous princes have always been said that Li Yuan received the help of former Prime Minister Li Si, which made Peng Yue, who understood the truth, even more convinced Li Yuan.

"It seems that war will soon take place between Qin and Han. If you want to be safe, it is better to leave Yingcheng early." This is the plan of some well-informed people under Liu Bang.

Resigning to Liu Bang is just a matter of making a living.

There was no need to pay for his life. Without the King of Han, King of Wei, King of Changsha, King of Yan, etc., he ran to Pengcheng to ask the King of Overlord to have some food.

Different people have different understandings of the current situation, but they all express their intention of not being optimistic about Liu Bang.

——.

Thirty years later, the east and the west of the river.

All the princes were fence-bearers and could not count on them. Liu Bang, the former commander of the Western Expedition Army of Chu, began to lose his appeal after his character was defeated again and again.

The army alone fought against the powerful Qin.

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

What else can a mere Qin Qin and a group of soldiers who were driven away to escape. But now, Liu Bang no longer dares to relax at all.

Who is Li Yuan?

He killed several Han generals such as Fan Kuai, Fu Kuan, Li Shiqi, Zhou Gou, Zhou Ji, Cao Shen, etc. He drove Liu Bang back to Hanzhong from the rich Guanzhong and then drove him from Hanzhong to his old enemy in Nanjun. Guanzhong could not be defeated at all, and the foundation of Hanzhong was lost. Under the oppression of the Qin army, it was God's help to be able to occupy Linjiang to rest.

If he hadn't been so determined to kill Li Yuan, he would have been chasing him all the time after he ran to Yongqi border, nor would he have been pursuing him when he saw the Qin State's signs of strength, and he imitated Prince Dan of Yan to send Jing Ke to assassinate Qin once and for all, how could the first target of Qin's army's exit from the customs be Han State?

Whenever Liu Bang thought of this, he couldn't help but regret it.

In addition, he complained to his subordinates who had attacked Qin. Under such unfavorable circumstances, the Han people were panicked and the military preparations were almost stagnant.

In terms of military affairs, after Cao Shen died in the battle, and after Li Shang surrendered, Zhou Bo replaced the Grand Marshal of the Han Dynasty, responsible for the Han army's training and training and expansion. Zhou Bo's ability was still slightly less than Cao Shen. However, compared with other Han generals, Zhou Bo has done a pretty good job.

In the battle of Xicheng, the Han army was annihilated more than 10,000 people, and the Li Shang team stranded in Shu County were dispersed again. In such a difficult situation, Zhou Bo took Nanjun and Nanyang County as the basis and led the Han army to fight east and west, wiped out the remnants of Gongao's forces, and collected a number of thieves active in the Yangtze River Shui. At the same time, by forcibly recruiting, he quickly expanded the Han army to nearly 200,000.

In order to deal with the Qin army's attack, the Han Dynasty's Grand Marshal Zhou Bo led more than 70,000 main troops to defend themselves in Wancheng, Nanyang County, trying to consolidate the city with strong troops and make long-term plans. At the same time, Liu Bang gathered a hundred thousand troops in Yingdu, ready to reinforce Zhou Bo at any time or run away.

State affairs are like this, and family affairs are boring.

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

What bothers Liu Bang even more was that the fire broke out in the inner house. As Ji Qi gave birth to her son Liu Ruyi, the competition for the heir to the King of Han became increasingly fierce.

On the one hand, he is the strong and shared the joys and sorrows of his wife, Lu Zhi and his eldest son, Liu Ying, and on the other hand, he is the gentle, lovely and beautiful beauty, Qi Ji and his younger son, Liu Ruyi.

Mixed between two women and two forces, Liu Bang felt exhausted. And when he couldn't get sick again and again, the open and secret struggle between Lu Zhi and Qi Ji became increasingly intensified.

The King of Han is already old.

I don’t know when I will wake up. If there is really one day, who will inherit the throne? Is it Liu Ying or Liu Ruyi? In the current situation where there is no incompatible situation, one side will come to power, which will be the end of the other side.

——.

April 2nd, the fourth year of the Xinli period of Qin Dynasty.

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

The news reached Wancheng.

The face of the Han army commander Zhou Bo immediately became dark. He had experienced Li Yuan's power many times, but he could not get any advantage every time. After some thought, Zhou Bo decided to immediately mobilize the main force of the Han army to gather north of Wancheng. Unlike before, this time, Cao Shen was no longer behind Zhou Bo. He had to stand alone and resist the attack of the Qin army.

From April 2 to 10th.

The Qin and Han armies fought fiercely in the hilly areas in the north of Nanyang County. The cavalry units of Su Jiao and Menghu were like a group of flying falcons coming and going without a trace, constantly harassed the slow and uneven Han army, which made the Han army generals who were hastily formed a military miserable.

The advantage of numbers became insignificant in the face of the natural differences between cavalry and infantry. Zhou Bo had no choice but to gather his soldiers under his command to form a group to resist the attacks of the Qin cavalry.

April 11th.

The battle situation suddenly changed. Han Xin's Qin army marched out of Wuguan and divided his troops into two routes to advance east along the Han River. On April 13, he arrived in Dengxian and Fancheng in the Hanzhong Plain.

On the fifteenth, Qin general Cao Xin advanced eastward and led his Yuezhi soldiers under his command to suppress the city wall with dense and precise long-distance bows and arrows, and then forced the city gate with a car crash. Although Liu Jia, the Han general in Fancheng, mobilized about 3,000 soldiers to defend the city, under Cao Xin's fierce attack, the city fell only one day and night.

Liu Jia was defeated and led the remnants to the Wancheng area. Almost at the same time Fancheng was destroyed, the Han army in Deng County (Xinye) struggled to support the two days later after surrendering under the siege of the Ba warriors of Feng Xuan's army.

The Qin army advanced eastward quickly.

Wherever he went, the Han army either collapsed or raised the white flag to surrender. Liu Jia was Liu Bei's cousin and had always been accustomed to marching and fighting. The terrain of Fancheng was easy to defend but difficult to attack, but he did not expect that the city was destroyed by the Qin army in just one day and night. The outstanding performance of the Hu people and Ba people first ascended the Ruishi made the Han generals frightened.

April 19th.

The vanguard of Han Xin's army, Feng Xuan's troops, quickly moved south from the path and suddenly appeared on the periphery of Yingcheng. This change made the Han Dynasty change its qualities.

The layers of defense became a laughing stock that was about to break. In panic, Liu Bang sent Guan Ying, Lv Ze and other generals to carry out a large-scale mobilization on the Jiangze Plain area, trying to encircle and annihilate the infiltration enemy in one fell swoop. However, after frightened Liu Bang, Feng Xuan's army seemed to have disappeared and fled westward into the vast primitive jungle of Shennongjia, without knowing where to go.

Then, Han Xin's army, who marched into Yingdu and attacked the capital of Han State, suddenly turned again from the Han River Basin, and attacked Zhou Bo's Han army from south to north. Behind the Han army's unpreparedness, the Han army's baggage troops, which were not as good as guard, suffered heavy losses under the attack of the Qin army. Zhou Bo's Han army fell into a dilemma of being attacked from both sides.
