"General Xiang Liang died, it was a loss of blood!!"
After Liu Bang saw the scene of Xiang Liang's death in battle, he couldn't help but feel a little melancholy. After pouring himself a glass of wine, he began to remember the time when he followed Xiang Liang in the battle.
"General Xiang Liang was from a truly famous family back then. As soon as he raised the flag of rebellion, it can be said that the whole world gathered in response."
"Although Chu has three households, if Qin is destroyed, Chu will definitely die. This is the hatred of the Chu people towards the Qin people. It is precisely because of this hatred that the Chu people vowed to take revenge."
"If General Xiang doesn't die, the world might not fall into my hands in the end."
"After all, if General Xiang Liang had not died, Xiang Yu would not have been like a wild horse, driving away Fan Zeng and breaking his own arms."
"If it had been General Xiang Liang who was at the Hongmen Banquet, I would never have come out alive."
"What a pity for General Xiang Liang. If he had not underestimated the enemy, he would be sitting in this position now!"
Although Liu Bang is not convinced by Xiang Yu, he is very convinced by Xiang Liang.
It's not because Xiang Liang is better than Xiang Yu, but because in Liu Bang's view, Xiang Liang is a more shameless scoundrel than himself, and at the same time he has something he can't compare to. reputation.
Xiang Yu is a pure nobleman. He disdains intrigues and intrigues, but Xiang Liang is different. He can do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.
Therefore, Liu Bang is honest and honest under Xiang Liang and does not dare to make mistakes.
"Brother, you praise Mr. Xiang Liang too much."
Cao Shen was very dissatisfied with Liu Bang's belittlement of himself. He muttered loudly:
"Xiang Liang's fighting skills are average. The battles he won against Zhang Han were not won by our brothers who worked hard to help him win them."
"Without the help of our brothers and his eldest nephew Xiang Yu, he was dealt with by Zhang Han, which fully shows his incompetence."
"Don't say that Xiang Liang is not dead, even if his father Xiang Yan is alive, the world will still belong to you, eldest brother."
"General Cao is a man of virtue."
Zhang Liang really can't stand it anymore. These bastards have brought out his father who has been dead for many years. If Zhang Liang doesn't stop him, he's afraid that the ancestral graves of Xiang Yu's family will emit black smoke.
Hearing this Zhang Liang Although Cao Shen was dissatisfied with Liang's words, he only dared to whisper:
"That's right, this family is a bunch of cowards"
"Okay, stop bragging. Why didn't you dare to brag like this in front of Xiang Yu?"
Xia Houying saw that Cao Shen was still stubborn and had a tough mouth, so he couldn't help but taunted him:
"General Xiang Liang took us in and provided us with weapons, food and grass. He is a nice person, so don't be disrespectful to him."
Cao Shen didn't refute this. After all, it was a fact. He could only sit down in silence.
But Liu Bang didn't care about it. He just watched a few people bickering with some interest. After everyone was quiet, Liu Bang Suddenly he raised his voice and said:
"Next, keep your eyes open and take a good look, I will appear soon"
"Hehe, I wonder if Ying Zheng is also looking at this light curtain. If he sees that it is me who invades Guanzhong and destroys the Qin State, I wonder what he will think?"
"It’s funny just thinking about it, haha, hahaha!!"
【In the battle of Dingtao, Xiang Liang was killed. The Qin army won a great victory. The world was shocked, and the survivors of the six kingdoms were even more panicked.】
【At this time, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang were attacking Chen Liu, but they returned without success again. After receiving the news of Xiang Liang's defeat, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang were shocked and decided to retreat.】
【Xiang Yu led his troops to the west of Pengcheng, and Liu Bang stationed his troops in Dang.】
【Both of them were preparing for Zhang Han's attack again. At this time, the morale of the Chu army was low and the soldiers were terrified. If Zhang Han took advantage of the victory and pursued it, he might be able to defeat the newly established Chu State with one blow.】
【However, Zhang Han did not take Xiang Yu and Liu Bang seriously. In his opinion, Xiang Liang was dead and the most famous generals in Chu had been killed by him. The remaining people in Chu were not of concern at all.】
【Zhang Han did not continue to march eastward to attack Pengcheng. Instead, he led his troops north. After crossing the Yellow River, he began to attack Zhao.】
【In fact, Zhang Han's move to the north was a helpless move.】
【The original arrangement of the court was for Zhang Han and Wang Li to go to the south and north, with Zhang Han responsible for destroying Chu and Wang Li for destroying Zhao.】
【However, Wang Lijun's attack on Zhao State has been unsuccessful. Pengcheng is far away from Guanzhong, and the north is not stable.】
【Once Zhang Han goes south to attack Pengcheng, the subsequent supply of food and grass will inevitably be tight. In addition, as the lone army goes deep, the food road will be stretched too long, and it is very likely that the enemy will take advantage of it.】
【But Wang Li's army continued to attack Zhao. It is better to unite than to divide the troops. If they are divided, they will be easily defeated individually.】
【You can ask Wang Li to abandon Zhao and attack Pengcheng together. The rear will be blocked by Zhao. When the time comes, he will be unable to advance forward and unable to retreat, and the entire army will be annihilated.】
【Coupled with a chance opportunity, Zhang Han strengthened his determination to go north.】
【At that time, Wang Lijun implemented a policy of co-opting the Zhao State and pretended to be the Second Emperor to recruit Zhao General Li Liang.】
【Li Liang killed Wu Chen's sister because she was rude to him, and then defected to the Qin army. He killed Wu Chen. Later, he was defeated by Zhang Er and Chen Yu, and then defected to Zhang Han.】
【After Zhang Han surrendered Li Liang, he learned about the strength of Zhao's army. After learning that Handan, the capital of Zhao, was empty, Zhang Han led his army quickly northward, defeating the blocking Zhao army along the way, and killed many enemies.】
【Subsequently, Zhang Han took advantage of the victory and led an army of hundreds of thousands to attack Handan. In less than ten days, he captured Handan City, moved the people in Handan City to Hanoi County, burned Handan City, and destroyed the city walls.】
【King Zhao Xie and Prime Minister Zhang Er took advantage of the chaos and fled into Julu City. Wang Li and Shejian took advantage of the situation to surround Julu City.】
【Wang Li is the grandson of Wang Jian, one of the four famous generals of the Warring States Period. The army he leads is the most elite Northern Army in the Qin Dynasty.】
【Previously, the commander of this army was Meng Tian, but later, Meng Tian was sentenced to death by Qin II Hu Hai's edict, and the position of commander was handed over to Wang Li.】
【Wang Li surrounded Julu, and Zhang Han stationed his troops south of Wang Li, building tunnels to transport corn.】
【As a general of Zhao State, Chen Yu went north to recruit soldiers from Changshan County and got tens of thousands of soldiers. Chen Yu commanded tens of thousands of soldiers and stationed them north of Julu City, which was called the Hebei Army.】
【Zhang Han stationed his troops in Jiyuan, south of Julu City, built a tunnel leading to the Yellow River, and transported grain and wages to Wang Li.】
【Wang Li was eager to achieve success, and with sufficient logistics supplies, he led his army to attack Julu City day and night, hoping to break into the city and kill Zhao Xie, the king of Zhao.】
【The defense of Julu City was in danger, the food in the city was almost exhausted, and the troops began to be stretched thin. Zhang Er sent people to summon Chen Yu many times.】
【However, Chen Yu felt that he had too few troops and was afraid of the power of the Qin army, so he did not dare to go to the rescue. Julu City was heavily surrounded and was about to be breached by the Qin army.】
【At this time, in the land of Guandong and south of the Yellow River, the Qin army was almost everywhere, with only a few remnants of the Wei army.】
【Wang Li led the Northern Group to storm Julu City. To the north of Zhao State, Yan State, the weakest country, occupied the country. Although Yan State was restored, it did not dare to participate in the chaos of the Central Plains. It only dared to tremble in Dai County. Watching Zhang Han roam the world. 】
