Chapter 95 Goodbye Liu Bang
People are like yesterday, but things are no longer there.
The peach blossoms in April are blooming brightly, and the petals fall into the stream, like strings of memories from the past.
Gu Yunniang's eyes were red. She thought that everything in the past would be buried deep in her heart and would never be moved again. The former Li Daizi is now a high-ranking county guard, a hero who commands tens of thousands of troops. There are so many beautiful ladies around him, how could he remember that in front of the white horse, a woman who overestimates her ability and shows off her sword.
"Why, who has bullied you? Tell me, I'll let my brothers vent your anger?" Li Yuan laughed. Facing Gu Yunniang who once pointed his sword at him, he suddenly felt better.
"You bullied me? Why, let the soldiers of the personal military camp vent their anger!" Gu Yunniang shouted and turned around and ran away, tears bursting out of her eyes.
"Well, the weather is good today." Li Yuan was embarrassed by Gu Yunniang's confession, while Bai Guangji and other personal soldiers were watching the excitement heartlessly.
Bai Guangji had long heard of the unexplained relationship between Gu Yunniang and Li Yuan, but he finally saw the true face today. Now, he returned to the camp and Luo Jia and others to say something.
"You're not leaving quickly, go back and train for me for twenty miles." Li Yuan glared at Bai Guangji fiercely. He was always a little confused about Gu Yunniang's thoughts. In his previous life, he didn't catch a cold for this kind of woman with a stingy temperament. In comparison, it was more pleasing to Zhao Yushu, a gentle and charming person-like person.
This time, Zhao Yushu, the eldest princess of Qin, came to Yongcheng with Li Yuan, and it was easy to find excuses. Li Si and Li Zheng were all in Yongcheng. She was a daughter-in-law, so it was natural to take care of her family. What was strange was that Princess Zhao Yuman of Huating also followed the eldest princess and her party to Yongcheng.
Perhaps the scene of Yan Le killing Hu Hai was too bloody and shocking. Empress Dowager Li Ji saw her son’s life with her own eyes. She was so sad that she could not bear the torture and left. She was a huge palace, and the only descendants of the royal family were left behind by Princess Huating.
Zhao Yuman, who had been keeping in the palace, was also frightened by the blood and corpses all over the ground. When Zhao Yushu, the gentle and considerate elder sister, appeared in front of her, Zhao Yuman almost immediately accepted her emotionally, although she was just a half-sister.
Zhao Yuman was beside Zhao Yushu, which made Li Yuan, who wanted to secretly taste the freshness, completely lost hope. In desperation, he had to vent his energy on political affairs.

Lantian Pass.
This pass located at the northern end of the Qinling Mountains connects Guanzhong and Hanzhong. The busy plank road transports materials from south to north and across the country, occupying this key pass, which also chokes the throat between Guanzhong and Bashu.
After a long march, the Chuxi Expedition Army, led by Liu Bang, set off from Dang County and fought in Dongjun, Sanchuan County, Yingchuan County, Nanjun, and Hanzhong County. The troops expanded from more than 30,000 people at the time of departure to a huge 100,000 people. Although they suffered setbacks under the city of Xingyang, Liu Bang immediately received support from the Han army in Nanjun and successfully annihilated the remaining troops of Qin Nanjun. It can be said that they fought a beautiful turnaround battle.
Liu Bang's army captured this important town at the intersection of the Beiqinling Pass without much effort. This place where a fierce battle was supposed to have occurred was because the Lantian defenders were drawn by Yan Le to fight against Li Yuan, which made Liu Bang's army extremely empty, allowing Liu Bang's army to march straight into Xianyang.
Compared with the separation between Xingyang, Liu Bang was strong and powerful. During his time in Yingchuan County, Liu Bang was assisted by his adviser Zhang Liang as expected, which gave Liu Bang, who had always been shaking his development direction, a clear marching route and goal.
Zhang Liang is a descendant of the Korean royal family. The hatred of destroying the country has made him active on the front line of attacking Qin. Back then, in order to assassinate the First Emperor, Zhang Liang hired strong men to ambush the roadside of the sand dunes, trying to hammer Qin Emperor Ying Zheng to death with one hammer. Of course, the result was very tragic. Under the protection of a group of guards, the strong men were killed and Zhang Liang was injured and fled was already a good result.
After the death of the First Emperor, Zhang Liang assisted King Cheng in Han to raise an army to rebel against Qin. Liu Bang's arrival allowed Zhang Liang to find a partner who could serve and surrender.
He is so dark and insidious that he can be able to take advantage of the situation when he is critical. If he sees the opportunity, he will take advantage without hesitation. Such a Liu Bang won’t have so many concerns when he adopts advice and does not need to consider any heroism or other people’s opinions.
February 2nd year 3rd.
Liu Bang adopted Zhang Liang's plan and entered Wuguan. He defeated Qin general Wang Ling several formations all the way, and occupied the Hanzhong County and county seat in Nanzheng in mid-March. Afterwards, Liu's army continued to work without stopping, crossing mountains and ridges to advance towards Guanzhong.
On March 19, after occupying Lantian, Liu's army was less than a hundred miles away from Xianyang. At this time, Xiang Yu's army had just passed Hangu Pass. Due to the unstable surrendered soldiers and the inability to supply food and fodder, the marching speed of the Xiang Yu coalition could not be increased. The 400,000 troops marched. The overlord Xiang Yu was indeed extraordinary, but he did not consider whether the logistics could keep up.
I have always been used to replenishing supplies on the spot. The coalition forces that go wherever they go are sweeping by the land like locusts passing by.
For the princes of the coalition forces, the dream of entering Guanzhong has become dispensable with the end of the Julu War. Everyone knows that Xiang Yu is already the well-deserved new king. No one has the intention to fight against Xiang Bawang, who is the bravest of the three armies, to fight for the world. At least, there is no one now.
The brutality of the coalition forces aroused the Qin people's resistance again and again, so the scene of the fire everywhere in Guandong was changed to another place, but the roles of both sides had been completely exchanged.
From rulers to ruled, from heroes who resisted tyranny, to those in power who were levying heavy taxes, the princes who once shouted out began to deteriorate in the cheers and victory.
"Pei Gong, Xianyang is about to be around. According to the information sent back by the scouts, there are only a thousand defenders in the city, and they are all temporary recruitment of miscellaneous soldiers. Our army is very quick to join the army. Before the coalition, we will take down Xiandu in one fell swoop." Zhang Liang wore brocade clothes, fur robe, and had a high robe. He was dressed as a scholar, sitting opposite Liu Bang's tent.
After Zhang Liang arrived, Liu Bang's guest of honor had changed from Li Shiqi, an old drinker, to Zhang Zifang. From this point of view, Liu Bang was indeed realistic and unscrupulous. Whoever has strong abilities will trust him. Based on this principle, Liu Bang led a group of brothers from Pei County to break a path of life in this troubled world where the princes compete for hegemony.
The hero does not ask where the source is.
