Chapter 16 The third section divides the boundary

Xiang Yu heard that Cheng Gao had fallen again in Liangdi, and hurriedly led his army back to rescue.Relying on the dangerous terrain, the Han army stood firm and did not fight.The Chu army rushed east and west several times to attack the Han army fiercely, but the Han army's defense was very strong, and they couldn't attack no matter what, on the contrary, the Chu army was tired enough.The Chu and Han armies temporarily faced off in Guangwu.A few months passed, and the Chu army's rations became less and less. Xiang Yu was very anxious and wanted to fight the Han army as soon as possible.He faced Liu Bang on the battlefield and said: "I want to challenge you alone, and I don't know if you dare or not?" Liu Bang replied with a smile: "I would rather fight with your wits than with your strength." In order to shake the morale of the Chu army and shake the morale of the Chu army, Liu Bang counted Xiang Yu's ten crimes in front of the two armies.Xiang Yu was furious, and secretly shot an arrow, which hit Liu Bang in the chest. The witty Liu Bang was afraid that the Han army would be shaken when they found out, and he was also afraid that the Chu army would take advantage of the momentum to attack, so he endured the pain and bent down on purpose to touch the chest. The foot said: "Damn! This arrow hit my toe!" In this way, the arrow wound on the chest was skillfully concealed.Liu Bang was bedridden because of a serious arrow wound. Zhang Liang asked him to forcefully get up to inspect the troops and stabilize the morale of the troops.However, Liu Bang's injury was aggravated because of this, and he was escorted back to Chenggao by the cavalry to recuperate before he finished the review.

The two sides continued to stalemate for several months, and the Chu army's rations were about to run out.Attack, the strength is insufficient; retreat, the Han army will come after you, it is really a dilemma.At the same time, Peng Yue's army continued to harass the Chu army's rear, cut off the supply line of the Chu army many times, and also heard that Han Xin would attack the Chu army again after breaking Qi.Xiang Yu felt that the situation was really serious, so he had to make a peace treaty with Liu Bang: with the Honggou (south of Xingyang) as the boundary, the area west of the Honggou will belong to Han, and the area east of the Honggou will belong to Chu.
