Just after Liu Bang and Xiang Yu made peace, the two sides delimited their respective territories. At this time, Xiang Yu was ready to withdraw his troops to the east. This was not Xiang Yu's style, mainly because at this time he was really injured. Because of several sneak attacks by Peng Yue and the cut off of the grain route, the Chu army was actually in a dangerous situation. Xiang Yu's hasty retreat revealed his tired and anxious bottom line. This bottom line was keenly captured by Zhang Liang on the other side. Zhang Liangzhen was worthy of a keen sense of smell, and together with Chen Ping, he persuaded Liu Bang not to retreat. Xiang Yu should be torn apart. Liu Bang did not understand this practice at first, but the two told him that Xiang Yu had always been brave and invincible, and now it was time for him to be tired.
And the great king, you already have most of the world, and now the princes are all subjugated, and Xiang Yu is exhausted, do not take advantage of such an opportunity to take him down in one fell swoop, and when Xiang Yu recovers, it must be the biggest disaster. At this time, Zhang Liang and Chen Ping's strategy was very similar to the strategy that Fan Zeng had advised Xiang Yu when he was in Hongmen. Unfortunately, Xiang Yu did not listen to Fan Zeng's opinion at that time, and the root of his ear was too soft, and he let Liu Bang go. Later, he was restrained by him everywhere, and was defeated and won by Liu Bang step by step, only to fall to today's point. Liu Bang, on the other hand, listened to Zhang Liang's advice and tore up the covenant, a kind of thing that was not so authentic on the battlefield. However, as long as victory can be achieved, it is the priority of victory.
The covenant is, to put it bluntly, just a piece of paper that has no effect. So Liu Bang immediately issued a call and prepared to attack Xiang Yu. During the attack, he mainly informed two people, that is, Han Xin in QiDi and Peng Yue in Weidi. Ask them to go to Guling and fight Xiang Yu. However, after Liu Bang arrived at Guling, he found a depressed fact that he had to face, that is, Han Xin and Peng Yue did not come alone. This can be bitter Liu Bang, you know, if you talk about battlefield combat alone, he is not Xiang Yu's opponent at all. At this time, Xiang Yu, who was leading the army back to the east, also sensed Liu Bang's intentions and couldn't help but be furious, especially hating Liu Bang's practice of making a covenant and not keeping it. Immediately leading an army of 100,000 people, he turned around and attacked Liu Bang.
At this time, Liu Bang did not have a powerful general under him, and was beaten by Xiang Yu to escape, retreated back to Chen Xia, and had to build a barrier to hold on, so that the Han army lost 20,000 people. Without enough troops, he could not deal with Xiang Yu, and the bitterness in Liu Bang's heart could be imagined, and he couldn't understand why Peng Yue and Han Xin didn't listen to their orders? If you can't understand something, then go consult others, fortunately, there are many transparent advisers under Liu Bang's hands, such as Zhang Liang. Zhang Liang told him that now they all had their own plans. As long as their wishes are fulfilled, they will definitely come and listen to your arrangement.
Although Han Xin was now crowned king of Qi, he did not have a fief, and if he carved out a piece of land in the east and sealed him, he would inevitably come to help in the war. And Peng Yue had been staring at the throne of king Wei since the death of King Leopard of Wei, and if he was crowned king, he would definitely come. Zhang Liang can be said to have penetrated the temperament of the two, and Liu Bang also knew that Han Peng and Han Peng were the same people as him, but they did not conspire. He kept this account in mind, but he could not attack at this time. He listened to Zhang Liang's words and fulfilled the dreams of Han Xin and Peng Yue. The fiefdom of the fief, the fief of the king. At the end of October, the two men did indeed send troops.
At this time, Liu Jia also crossed the HuaiShui, and he used the method of inducement to make Xiang Yu's grand sima Zhou Yin betray Chu. Zhou Yin attacked the Chu soldiers in the six counties, gathered the soldiers and horses of Jiujiang, and welcomed back their old master Yingbu. Assemble to the east and prepare to face Xiang Yu. By this time, Xiang Yu had been severed from his powerful arm, while Liu Bang had gathered an incomparably large military force. The disparity in strength between the two sides is self-evident, and at this time, Liu Bang is also ready to launch a final decisive battle.
