Chapter 13 1. Soldiers approaching the city

From July to September in 208 BC, the heavy rain continued for two consecutive months.The long knife is directed, the hero dies, and God shed tears again. This continuous burst of tears was shed for Wei Jiu, and even more for Xiang Liang. After Zhang Han killed Xiang Liang, his prestige reached an unprecedented height.When Zhang Han attacked Dingtao, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu were attacking Waihuang (now Neihuangji, northwest of Minquan County, Henan Province), unable to attack for a long time, so they had to turn around and attack Chenliu (southeast of Kaifeng City, Henan Province).At this time, the news of Xiang Liang's death came, and the soldiers of Chu were in a state of confusion.

Xiang Liang is over, is the Chu army still far from being destroyed?Fear hung over Chu Jun's head like a thick cloud. Liu Bang and Xiang Yu had no intention of fighting. They only had one thought, to run, as far as possible. So Liu Bang and Xiang Yu fled eastward with King Huai of Chu, and moved the capital of Chu State from Xuyi to Pengcheng (now Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province).In order to prevent Zhang Han's mad dog from chasing and biting him, the Chu army set up a strict defense. General Lu Chen of the Chu army guarded the east of Pengcheng, Xiang Yu guarded the west of Pengcheng, and Liu Bang guarded Dang County (northeast of Yongcheng County, Henan Province today). How perfect and strong iron triangle.

Even if the Audio-Technica could not defend Zhang Han, the Chu army would not be so desperate.Because at this time, Wei Bao, an ally of Chu State, was also paying close attention to the movement of Zhang Han's army on the western front. As mentioned earlier, after King Jiu of Wei was killed by Zhang Han, King Huai of Chu sent five thousand soldiers to Wei Bao, Wei Jiu's younger brother, to take revenge.Wei Bao was indeed a hero, and he was not ashamed of his ancestors for giving him such a brave name. He rampaged all the way in Wei State, and within a few months, he took back more than 20 cities from the Qin army.There are more than 20 cities, and the credit is not small. Wei Guo finally has a successor. King Huai of Chu immediately appointed Wei Bao as King Wei.

King Huai of Chu went forward to greet him, and Bao of Wei followed behind. The princes took their positions, holding their breath, and they were all waiting for Zhang Han.Go after Zhang Han boldly. If you dare to let the horse cross the river this time, you will be caught so that your father will not come and your mother will not kiss you. But the princes immediately found that their wishes had come to nothing. Zhang Han did not pursue the Chu army with his usual style of biting and biting, but turned around and headed north. Zhang Han didn't chase the Chu army madly this time, not because the Chu army set up a dog trap formation and made him feel scared, but because he didn't even bother to beat Chu Wei, the dog trap army.

In Zhang Han's view, Xiang Liang, the best general of the Chu army, was killed by me, and Wei Guo was also destroyed by me once. What's the point of me playing with you defeated troops?Therefore, the proud Zhang Han immediately found his next interesting opponent, who was Zhao Wangxie. Who is Zhao Wangxie?There are so many princes in the world, why does Zhang Han want to play with him? In fact, Zhao Wangxie is nothing at all, he is just a puppet supported by others. It is Zhao Wangxie's backstage who Zhang Han wants to kill completely, the two prominent bosses - Zhang Er and Chen Yu .

Zhang Er, whose year of birth is unknown, was born in Daliang, Wei State.Daliang, which is today's Kaifeng City, Henan Province.When he was young, Zhang Er was once a guest of Wei Guo Gongzi Wuji.However, it needs to be explained that in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, not everyone could be a guest. A wealthy family is not a refuge. If you do not have a skill, they will never take you in. The so-called skills have a very wide range, no matter you are a gangster or a person with a hidden strategy, as long as you can use it, you can accept it.If you don't know anything, please roll as far as you can.But the profession of doorman is not fixed, just like today's company employees, the levels are also very different.Those with strong abilities can hang out for a longer time, and if you are upset, you can pack up and leave immediately.Zhang Er was in a bad mood for some reason, and he went to Waihuang to make a living after not working for a long time.

It is a euphemism to say that Zhang Er went to Waihuang to make a living. In fact, he fled here for his life.As for who he offended, there is no evidence to test, what is known is that when Zhang Er ran to Waihuang, a good thing happened, and this good thing changed his life qualitatively from then on. It was a good marriage that changed Zhang Er's fate.At that time, there was a wealthy man in Waihuang who gave birth to a beautiful daughter, who married when she grew up.As we all know, love at that time was not free. A woman married well and badly, half at the mercy of God and half at the mercy of fate. It is a pity that this rich girl's parents have very bad eyesight, so she married a mediocre man by mistake.

This rich girl is quite an aspiring woman. Seeing that her life's happiness is about to be ruined in the hands of others, she doesn't even return home, and goes directly to hide in the house of someone who was a guest of her father's family.Coincidentally, this guest and Zhang Er are good friends, so he told the beautiful woman who escaped from marriage, it is not an option for you to stay with me, brother, can I introduce you to a good family?I have a friend named Zhang Er, very talented, you can think about it. The beauty escaped from marriage just to marry a good man, and she married him as soon as she heard that Zhang Er was talented.This marriage can be said to be married to the right person. Later, she gave birth to a powerful son for Zhang Er, and that son married Liu Bang's daughter, Princess Lu Yuan.Zhang Er also benefited a lot, and the woman's family gave Zhang Er a lot of money.To be rich is to have tomorrow. Zhang Er relied on this generous dowry to attract heroes all over the world, and became the magistrate of Waihuang County, and his reputation has risen since then.

The world is amazing.Zhang Er is a hero, his wife is beautiful, a beauty matches a hero, a perfect match.Zhang Er is a street guy, his wife is a second-hand guy, and they are a perfect match.Such a perfect match produced a good breed Zhang Ao-Liu Bang's son-in-law.If I had to use one word to sum up the marriage transaction between the two parties, it would be: value! Chen Yu, whose date of birth is unknown, was also from Daliang, Wei, and was fond of Confucianism.The so-called Confucianism is like Confucius and Mencius who went around selling the way of kings. Chen Yu is also a disciple of Confucius. He once had the experience of lobbying the princes in Zhao State.Because of his extraordinary intelligence, Chen Yu was also favored by a rich family and married his daughter to him.

Before Chen Yu knew Zhang Er, he admired Zhang Er just like a star admires the moon, and always wanted to be his disciple and follow him for life.Later, Chen Yu went to see Zhang Er with great admiration, and Zhang Er happily accepted him. The two met each other so late that they immediately worshiped heaven and earth, and became close friends. Zhang Er and Chen Yu were not mediocre people at first, they married a rich girl at the same time, and they were life and death brothers, so the reputation of the two spread far and wide, and even spread to Qin State.As the saying goes, people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. A few years after Qin destroyed Wei, they did not know what they had done, and suddenly offered a reward for the capture of Zhang Er and Chen Yu. The reward prices were as follows: one thousand gold for Zhang Er, and five hundred gold for Chen Yu.

No matter whether Qin State wanted to kill them or buy them off, Wai Huang couldn't live anyway.Zhang Er and Chen Yu had to change their names and surnames, and hid in a sub-district office in Chen County to make a living. Fortunately, they were able to find a crappy job in a crappy unit like the sub-district office—a street administrator (in the street) prison gate). The street administrators at that time were not like today’s street offices. They had nothing to do. The boss went around and the west went around, looking for people to chat with, and after the chat, they would give you a bonus at the end of the year.Zhang Er and Chen Yu didn't have such a good job. Their job was to stand guard face to face every day.When someone stands guard, someone checks the guard.Once, Chen Yu didn't know what mistake he had made, so he was arrested and beaten by the leader with a cane. That's not bad, I think back when I was in the foreign pornography, you didn't know where you were. Besides, my head is worth five hundred gold, can yours be worth five hundred coins, and you dare to hit me? The dignity of a celebrity surged in Chen Yu's heart like magma, as if it was about to explode at the touch of it.He counted silently in his heart, don't force people too much, if you dare to hit me a few more times, I will immediately jump up and kill. At that time, Zhang Er was standing beside Chen Yu, watching his brother being whipped, his heart ached.But what can you do about the pain, as the saying goes, a little intolerance can lead to great plans, no matter how painful it is, Chen Yu, you must persevere to the end. However, Chen Yu's patience was at its limit, and he suddenly made a movement to jump up and resist.Looking at this posture, Zhang Er knew that something was wrong, and immediately stepped on Chen Yu's foot, pushing him to the ground again. Chen Yu didn't know how many times he was whipped. After the little official who whipped Chen Yu left, Zhang Er took Chen Yu to the mulberry tree.Zhang Er not only didn't say a word of comfort, but also scolded Chen Yu: Did you forget what I told you at the beginning?If you can't bear even a small shame, how can you do big things in the future? Chen Yu endured the pain and nodded guiltily.The elder brother is right, the younger brother will engrave your words in his heart, and always remember to be patient. The days have been endured like this, and the road ahead is boundless, and I really don't know if I will endure until the year of the monkey.The fleeting years are unfavorable, everything is not going well, and the pain and patience prevent them from living a good life, and even the Qin Dynasty cannot give up offering rewards for their arrest. At this time, the Qin government's arrest notice spread to the streets and alleys of Chen County, and Every sub-district office is required to do a good job in publicity work, and immediately report the situation to the government as soon as it is discovered. It is no coincidence that the job of announcing to the residents that they would cooperate with the government in arresting Zhang Er and Chen Yu fell on Zhang Er and Chen Yu.Qin Chao's trick is really tough enough to make people tough, why is it only against the two of us? Let the prisoners do the work of propagandizing and apprehending themselves, and there is only one end: death.So in such a dangerous situation like Zhang Er and Chen Yu, if it were someone else, safety would have come first, and they would have slipped away. If we underestimate the courage of Zhang Er and Chen Yu, then they are not legendary celebrities.They want to escape, but which piece of land in the world is not owned by the Qin government, can they escape?As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is also the safest place, so they decided not only to stay and continue working, but also to play the game of yelling and catching the thief with the Qin government. So, Zhang Er and Chen Yu took the government's reward notice and went door to door to publicize, folks, listen carefully, the government wants to arrest two Daliang fugitives, one named Zhang Er and the other named Chen Yu.Catch Chen Yu to reward 500 gold, catch Zhang Er to reward 1,000 gold, add up to 1,500 gold, if everyone wants to be a role model and wants to make money, please unite as soon as possible and act immediately, don't miss it! Chance. There is a classic saying in modern social psychology that there is no reason to speak loudly.Because people with louder voices are often guilty of guilt, the more guilty they are, the more they want to raise their voices to suppress their guilt.Zhang Er and Chen Yu fit this kind of psychological characteristics. The more they yelled and the more smoke they released, the more they could protect themselves. The fact is also the same. Zhang Er and Chen Yu used high-decibel psychological warfare to deceive everyone. After working hard for a while, they not only completed their work tasks excellently, but also completely guaranteed their personal safety. A good person will always be a good person. If God wants to torture such a good person for the rest of their lives, ghosts will not believe it.Sure enough, as soon as the words were finished, the opportunity really came, and this opportunity was the Chen Sheng Wu Guang uprising.
