Chapter 22 1. The emperor's art for laymen in foreign wars and experts in civil wars

Zhang Liang and Liu Bang met, and they became partners ever since. At this time, Liu Bang was far less famous than Zhang Liang.Because Zhang Liang is a Korean aristocrat, and Liu Bang is just a grassroots man, he can't attract the attention of others at all.He went to seek refuge with King Jingju of Chu, and had to be recommended by Zhang Liang. When Liu Bang came to see King Jingju of Chu, he made a very strange request. He even wanted King Chu to send troops to attack Fengyi for him.Although Fengyi belonged to the Wei State, it was still on the rebel side's side.However, Liu Bang avoided the Qin soldiers and insisted on engaging in frictions, which proved that he really had the potential of an emperor. Most of the founding emperors in history started their careers by engaging in frictions. Foreign wars were mostly amateurs, but civil wars must be experts.If you fight the foreign enemy, I will fight you, and if you fight the foreign enemy away, I will fight you away again, then I will definitely win.

Of course, this passage can also be reversed. If you Wei Guo didn't say hurry up and fight Qin soldiers, why would you want to grab Liu Bang's territory?So Liu Bang can't be blamed for this matter. Jing Ju may not have the talent of an emperor, but he is a clan after all, knowing that friction is more emotional than fighting foreign enemies, so he agreed to Liu Bang's request. King Jingju of Chu sent Lord Ning of Dongyang to march westward with Liu Bang.At this time, the Qin soldiers were gaining the upper hand, and Zhang Han pursued Chen Sheng's remnants relentlessly.At the same time, the Qin court also sent Yi, whose first name was Yi, but no one knew what his surname was.But his official position is Sima, which is roughly equivalent to a deputy battalion-level cadre.So some history books simply call him Sima Yi.Sima Yi attacked the Chu land like a broken bamboo, and only Xiangxian resisted desperately. As a result, Sima Yi massacred the city in Xiangxian County, killing all the old and young in the city.

Liu Bang and Lord Ning of Dongyang traveled to Xiao County, where they met Sima Yi, and the two sides fought fiercely. This should be the first time Liu Bang fought against the regular army of Qin.Winning or losing is not important, the main thing is to observe and learn. This means that Liu Bang was beaten so badly by Sima Yi that the entire army should have been beaten to collapse.Because according to the history books, Liu Bang and others retreated to Liu County, fifty miles southeast of Pei County, to gather.The gathering is of course everyone running their own way, and if you can make it to Liuxian alive, you will win.

Then Liu Bang hid in Liu County and didn't dare to say anything. After a few days, probably because he heard that the main force of the Qin soldiers had gone to attack other places, Liu Bang came out happily and came to attack Dang County. The battle in Dang County was very tragic, and it was a coordinated battle. Cao Shen was in charge of the periphery, and he was responsible for taking down the Fox Father around Dang County and the Shanzhi Station in Qi County.Zhou Bo and Fan Kui attacked Dang County from the east, and their marching route was extremely strange. Because Qin general Sima Yi appeared again, Fan Kui displayed his reckless fighting spirit, fought bloody battles with the Qin army to the death, and beheaded the enemy fifteen ranks. Liu Bang bestowed him with the title of doctor of the country.

Zhou Bo went around in circles, returning from the east of Dang County to Liu County, and then went back again, successfully occupying Dang County. The fierce battle lasted for three days, and finally Liu Bang won.After entering the city, he recruited 6,000 soldiers from Dangxian County. Adding to his original 3,000 soldiers, he had commanded nearly 10,000 people. An overwhelming victory, this should be an extremely important battle in military history. The Battle of Dang County was seriously underestimated.This led people to underestimate Liu Bang's mysterious military ability. Then Liu Bang went to attack Xiayi again, and soon he also captured it.Zhou Bo performed well in this battle and was the first to ascend the city, so he was named the fifth doctor.After sealing a lot of doctors, Liu Bang was so confident that he returned to his teacher again to fight Fengyi.

This battle of Fengyi once again proved Liu Bang's extraordinary vision, he can see people accurately.At the beginning when he sent his troops eastward and left Yongchi to guard Fengyi, it was because he thought Yongchi was good at defense.His judgment is indeed extremely accurate, he thinks that Yong Chi is good at keeping, and Yong Chi is good at keeping.Liu Bang led more than 10,000 people to attack the city, and Yong Chi guarded the city, but he couldn't attack it. Liu Bang was about to die of anger, and he swore that he would never forgive Yong Chi in his life. Just when Liu Bang was at a loss what to do, Xiang Liang led eight thousand children from Jiangdong across the river.

It was a man named Shao Ping who recruited Xiang Liang.Shao Ping should also be one of the nine hundred soldiers who followed Chen Sheng in the uprising in Daze Township.Because he was from Guangling, Chen Sheng sent him to lead a team to attack Guangling.But Shao Ping had no ability and couldn't beat him. At this time, he heard that Chen Sheng was defeated, so he crossed the Yangtze River to find Xiang Liang.Under the pretense of Chen Sheng's order, he granted Xiangliang the title of Shangzhu state, and said: "Now that Jiangdong has been pacified, I order Xiang Liang, the Shangzhu state, to cross the Yangtze River immediately and attack the Qin soldiers!"

Xiang Liang was very grateful to Chen Sheng after receiving this false order.It was Chen Sheng who restored the country and gave the Xiang clan a chance to avenge Qin.Moreover, Chen Sheng also awarded him the title of Shangzhu Kingdom, which is quite a face-saving thing.So Xiang Liang came across the river.After crossing the river, I heard that Dongyang had turned around and the leader was Chen Ying, so I sent someone to contact Chen Ying, and everyone went to fight Qin soldiers. Chen Ying is actually quite low-key. He was originally Ling Shi of Dongyang, a small official.At this time, the world was in chaos, Dongyang teenagers gathered together, killed the county magistrate, and publicly elected Chen Ying as the leader.Chen Ying's mother found out about this and reprimanded him, saying, "Your Chen family has never produced a single person of great value for generations, and now you are suddenly pushed to the position of king, isn't that a good thing? Let me tell you, if you take the lead in this matter, if you fail in the future, you will die miserably. It is better to find someone who has been taken advantage of and elect him as the leader, and you will follow behind. If you succeed, you will have a share Credit. If you fail, you can easily escape." So Chen Ying refused to be king.

After receiving Xiang Liang's suggestion to join forces, Chen Ying told his subordinates: "The Xiang family is a family of generals, and they will definitely be able to defeat Qin. We will listen to Xiang Liang in the future." Xiang Liang crossed the river with only 8,000 people. Unexpectedly, Chen Ying brought 20,000 people and was willing to serve Xiang Liang, which surprised and delighted Xiang Liang.Then Chen Sheng's courtier and leader of the Cangtou Army, Lu Chen, led tens of thousands of people to join him.As a result, Xiang Liang's army was greatly shocked, and its strength reached 70,000.

After Xiang Liang was a famous general, his fame was much greater than that of Liu Bang.So heroes and non-heroes all over the world came to join us.Among those who joined the army, there was a non-hero who came with a sword—— Han Xin.
