Lantian.

Under the jurisdiction of Neisha County, in the 27th year of the Qin Dynasty, the Qin State built a 36 counties across the country. One of the southeast roads was from Xianyang, through Lantian, connecting to Wuguan, and reaching Xiangyang.

After Liu Jun occupied Lantian, Wu'an Hou Liu Bang moved his residence to the Dinghu Palace, the palace of Emperor Shihuang. This palace covers a vast area and is built in a large scale. It was the place where the Qin king escaped the summer heat before Afang Palace. In front of the palace, there was also an imperial garden, which was the place where the royal hunting place.

Compared to the dusty face he met in Xingyang a few months ago, Liu Bang was full of energy and his gray hair was combed in a slight way, which restored his gentlemanly style as a humble elder in the past.

A hundred thousand army came out of Hanzhong.

Liu Bang is now strong in the army. In Dinghu Palace, Xiao He, Cao Shen, Zhou Bo and other old subordinates of Pei County were all present, and Zhang Liang and Wang Ling and other new counselors were also among them. With the brave generals such as Cao Shen and Zhou Bo and Zhang Liang's strategy, Liu's army was unstoppable throughout the journey.

"Zifang, Xianyang has been emptied by the little thief Li Yuan, so I'm afraid there will be nothing left? If we go, we will gain a reputation at most." Liu Bang said lightly.

Liu Bang's bloody battle with Li Yuan in Sanchuan County also understood Li Yuan's style. This little thief was just a robber. With him taking the lead, there would probably not be much of what he could leave behind.

"Pei Gong, even if it is a false reputation, it is enough. Among the princes and tycoons, only Pei Gong, you are the only one who leads an army, and the rest are all lackeys from Xiang Ji, which is not worth worrying." Zhang Liang said with a smile.

Zhang Liang is confident in the world.

The Qin State had fallen apart, and the next battle for hegemony was a fight between the various princes of the anti-Qin period. Xiang Yu took advantage of the prestige of defeating the main force of Qin State and ruled the princes of all the time. What Liu Bang had to do now was to occupy Xianyang City before Xiang Yu and show a message to the people of the world: Qin State was ended by Liu Bang, not Xiang Yu.

However, Liu Bang, a grassroots leader who was born in the pavilion, had a disadvantage compared to Xiang Ji, a general Huzi, and what Zhang Liang had to do was to turn the disadvantage into victory.

Fame, even if it is a false reputation, is also a resource in this era of underdeveloped information. As long as Liu Bang's reputation spreads to the world, many people who are not from aristocratic families will come to join Liu Bang. With such a mechanism for gathering talents, Liu Bang's command is like a machine with powerful hematopoietic function.

"Zifang is very worried, but I am really unwilling to think that Li Zhe has taken advantage of this time." Liu Bang sighed hatefully. He thought that Li Yuan escaped back to Guanzhong to stay in seclusion, so that his 100,000 troops could avenge Xingyang's revenge. Now it seems that he is not at ease for the time being.

"Pei Gong, Li's bandits are less than 30,000, and there are only a few generals. If you fail to defend Guanzhong this time, you have to retreat Yongqi. It can be seen that his strength is limited and he has no ambitions. Compared with Xiang Ji, the tiger, he is only a dog guarding the household. What's the point! I am willing to lead the army to take the head of Li's bandits to cheer for the generals!" Before Liu Bang could answer, a general sat down and shouted loudly.

Liu Bang looked at it, but Qi Ji, the surrendered general of Qin who had just surrendered. Qi Ji probably saw that Cao Shen and others showed a solemn look when they talked about Li Yuan, so he couldn't wait to step forward and give advice.

Qi Ji was over fifty years old and was a general who guarded Hanzhong in Qin. In his opinion, Li Yuan, an unknown junior, succeeded with only temporary luck and was not capable.

Cao Shen and Zhou Bo's face changed when they heard the sarcastic meaning of Qi Ji's words. Who is Li Yuan? The people who have suffered a lot are naturally clear. Not to mention just Qi Ji, even if they all go up, they can't do anything to Li Yuan for a while?

Liu Bang glanced at Qi Ji, and was silent for a while and said, "Since Duke Qi has this intention, it is better to lead a group of troops to take Chen Cang. The other generals will be sent to Xianyang with me."

"No!" Cao Shen and Zhou Bo followed the order and stepped out one by one, without looking at Qi Ji who was proud of him.

After Liu Bang finished his order, he got up and headed towards the bedroom. There was a beautiful girl waiting for him in the palace. Although it was just the legacy of the First Emperor, the freshness was really good.

Qi Ji, just a descendant general.

The land of Yongqi is a wilderness in the western border for the Central Plains, and only the Qin people would regard it as a sacred place. As a Chu person, Liu Bang's real focus was still on the Central Plains.

Just use Qi Ji to test Li Yuan's strength. If he can win, it will be the best; if he loses, then there is another saying for Xiang Yu at that time.

It’s not that he did not attack, but that Li Zhe’s Qin army was extremely brave and could not be surrendered by the elite of the Chu army.

——.

April 16, the first year of Qin Sanshi.

Liu Bang's army entered Bashang at a speed of 100 miles a day. In a hurry, Emperor Ying Ziying of Qin, the third emperor, repeatedly asked for help from Li Yuan in Yongcheng, but never received a response.

At this time, Ying Ziying Fang Shi woke up from the emperor's dream.

In desperation, Ying Ziying had to tie herself with a rope, and personally surrendered to Liu Bang's army with the imperial jade seal and military talismans. At this point, Qin State no longer existed as a unified empire.

When Liu Bang's army entered Xianyang, he was immediately confused by the prosperous scene of Xianyang. When Li Yuan left, he took away the wealth, food and fodder of the Qin treasury, but did not take away any luxury items from Xianyang. The wine shops that provided them with pleasure to the princes and princes to open as usual. For this group of "branders" in Guandong, Xianyang was like a fairyland in the sky, making them all immersed in it and never forget to return.

Facing the groups of beauties in Afang Palace, Liu Bang was also confused. He was over fifty years old. According to the age of his life, Liu Bang was also a person of longevity. After working hard for several years, he finally had such an opportunity to enjoy, but how could he let it go.

When enjoying a comfortable life, people sometimes lose themselves.

Not all of Liu Bang's subordinates could not see the danger, but how to persuade him became a problem.

If Fan Kuai is not dead, he will be the most suitable partner as his brother-in-law; unfortunately, Fan Kuai died in the Battle of Daliang, which made it a difficult problem for who will persuade him.

Although Zhang Liang was highly regarded by Liu Bang, he had some concerns about whether Liu Bang could listen and whether he would be in a grudge.

As for Xiao He, Cao Shen and others, their former brothers, now with the improvement of Liu Bang's status, the two sides have become superior and subordinate relationships between their subordinates and lords. If they forcefully advise, Xiao He is not sure.

Just as Zhang Liang, Xiao He and others hesitated, time passed day by day, Liu's soldiers looted in Xianyang City. Many generals occupied property without saying anything, and the women and children made the people of Guanzhong's view of Liu Bang plummet. By the time Zhang Liang and others could not bear to give up their advice, it was too late.

Faced with the cold and hatred eyes of the people of Xianyang, Liu Bang began to react. Xianyang was a temptation trap left by Li Yuan. Sadly, Liu Bang jumped without any argument.
