Chapter 17 6. Fierce battles with old leaders

Liu Bang's first battle: Hu Ling. Participants in the battle: Cao Can, Zhou Bo and Fan Kuai. Let me first talk about why Huling was chosen. This is because Liu Bang is from Peixian County. In the environment where he lives, with Fengyi as the center, there are four cities around Fengyi: Peixian, Huling, Fangyu and Xuexian. .Fengyi lived in the middle zone of Wei and Chu during the Warring States Period, and was a typical disputed area.Therefore, in Liu Bang's strategic plan, he took Fengyi and the four surrounding cities as the base of his personal career, and then sought to gradually expand.The first attack on Huling was because Huling was in the northwest of Peixian County and the closest to Peixian County. If Huling was not captured, Peixian County would be unstable.

The war began. The warden Cao Can, the drummer Zhou Bo, and the dog killer Fan Kuai led a team of thousands of people to attack Hu Ling.Liu Bang, Xiao He, Xia Houying, etc. supervised the battle behind, but in fact everyone was watching and learning.After all, this was the first battle in Pei County since he was appointed as a teacher. Everyone was ignorant of how to fight this battle, so they could only learn while fighting. But unexpectedly, because Hu Ling and Pei County are too close, the two places are closely related, Hu Ling already knew the news of Liu Bang's incident, and knew that Liu Bang's first target was Hu Ling, so he took precautions in advance.Moreover, the person guarding Huling was the county supervisor of Sishui, and his surname was not recorded in the history books. We only know that her name is Ping.He is actually Liu Bang's old leader. He has led Liu Bang for many years. As soon as Liu Bang turned his tail, the old leader knew what shit Liu Bang was going to do, so he preset precautions against Liu Bang's various possibilities.Compared with Liu Bang's strength, Hu Ling can be said to be impenetrable.Cao Shen, Zhou Bo, and Fan Kui fought for a long time, but the city was waiting for work, and felt that the city could not be taken down.

What if I can't take it off?This is the first battle in Peixian County, so no matter what, it has to make a name for itself.But everyone participated in the battle for the first time, and it was really difficult to fight this battle. There was no way, everyone's eyes turned to Liu Bang. At this time, it is a critical moment to test Liu Bang's war wisdom.Whether he has the ability to lead the group of thieves in Pei County to make a name for themselves depends on his current judgment. After careful consideration, Liu Bang made an unprecedentedly wise decision-since Hu Ling could not be defeated, he would not fight.

do not fight? Everyone came here excitedly, should we go back in disgrace?What a shame. He didn't fight Hu Ling anymore, and he didn't go back. Instead, he went around Hu Ling and went to find Fang Yu behind Hu Ling. This move is definitely a brilliant move.When the incident occurred in Geyinpei County, neighboring Huling took precautions early.However, Hu Ling did not cause any trouble. Fang Yu behind Hu Ling should have been defenseless theoretically. So everyone turned their guns around, bypassed Huling and rushed towards Fangyu City. Liu Bang's second battle, Fang Yu. The main force participating in the battle is still Cao Can, Zhou Bo and Fan Kuai.Sure enough, as Liu Bang expected, Fangyu City was really unprepared, and everyone rushed into the city rumblingly, and won a beautiful victory.

Taking Fang Yu without bloodshed is a strong proof of Liu Bang's clever strategic deployment.The next goal is Fengyi Dacheng. Liu Bang's third battle: Fengyi was successfully captured.Zhou Bo, the musician who played the mourning music in this battle, performed the best and was notified by the whole army to commend him. Fengyi is a big city with extremely important strategic value.Liu Bang was very excited to capture as he wished.So Liu Bang decided to leave the dog-killer Fan Kuai to guard the big city, and everyone led the troops to walk around the city to look for opportunities.But I didn't want to, just when everyone was still uncertain about the next target, the gate of Huling City suddenly opened wide, and the old leader Jianping of Sishui County suddenly rushed out with his troops, aiming at Fengyi, wanting to capture this city. city.

It turned out that Supervisor Ping of Sishui County, after repelling Liu Bang under Huling City, was triumphant, and suddenly discovered that Liu Bang had entered Fengyi, which annoyed the old leader.Liu Bang's hand is too bad. It is unreasonable to give up the small city to his opponent, but he took the opportunity to seize the big city. Seeing the old leader and his troops coming to kill him, Liu Bang panicked and fled back to Fengyi in a hurry, closing the door tightly and refusing to open it when anyone called.Furious, Sishui County Supervisor Ping rushed forward and began to attack the city.And Liu Bang and others began to study the skills of defending the city seriously.After two days of studying, Sishui County Superintendent Ping was tired and prepared to withdraw his troops.

Liu Bang was overjoyed when he found out that the Sishui county supervisor was going to withdraw his troops. He immediately dispatched troops and generals, ready to chase after him.To chase and kill, such a desperate dog killer like Fan Kuai must be used.But the problem is that the former Liu Bang has appointed Fan Kui to guard Fengyi. What if everyone chases them out and is suddenly rushed into Fengyi by the old leader Sishui County Superintendent? To chase and kill, there must be a person with enough weight to guard Fengyi for everyone.Who is the right person to take on the job? Liu Bang's eyes fell on one person: Yong Chi, a representative of the high society in Pei County.

Yong Chi was born in an aristocratic family in Peixian County, so he was quite reluctant to mix with these dog-killing craftsmen and drummers.However, the primary purpose of Liu Bang's uprising was to protect Pei County from the flames of war, so Yong Chi, as a high-ranking person, could not stay out of the matter at this time.So he came, but it was impossible to get involved with Fan Kui and others. So Liu Bang thought, this guy Yong Chi, he would not take him to charge into the battle, leaving him to defend the city has enough weight, and everyone is from the same township, so it is impossible for any betrayal to happen.The city of Fengyi can only be guarded by Yongchi.

So Fan Kuai and Yong Chi switched places, Yong Chi came to defend the city, and Fan Kui and Cao Shen went to chase and kill Sishui County Jianping who was retreating.Under the city of Fengyi, the war broke out again, and the two sides fought fiercely. Seeing Cao Can, Fan Kui, Zhou Bo and others majestic on the battlefield, they were busy.Xiao He and Xia Houying, who were always hiding behind Liu Bang, couldn't sit still.The two volunteered that when they worked in Pei County, they had a good friendship with Supervisor Ping of Sishui County.It is not a problem for the two armies to fight against each other all the time. Why don't you let the two of them go over and talk to Sishui County Superintendent Ping to see if there can be a result.

Liu Bang was overjoyed after hearing this.It should be from this moment that he has determined a new strategic approach. This policy is that in matters of war, it is necessary to fight while talking, to talk while fighting, to fight while talking, and to grasp and be firm with both hands.
