Liu Bang Xiangyu confronted Xiang Yu in GuangwuJian, but after Han Xin destroyed the State of Qi, he called himself the King of Qi and did not send troops to attack Xiang Yu, how did the Han Lieutenant Lu Xie break the deadlock?
【Liu Bang Xiangyu Confrontation】
Xiang Yu and Liu Bang confronted each other in Guangwujian and learned that Han Xin was constantly winning in the State of Qi, and their mood was very different.
After the defeat of Long Andi, Xiang Yu urgently ordered Xiang Sheng to go south to Huijian County to recruit troops to cope with the changes in the war situation in the State of Qi. At the same time, Xiang Yu asked his uncle Xiang Tang to send Liu Bang's father and wife to Guangwujian, intending to return them to the King of Han to buy a personal relationship and negotiate peace in the future. Xiang Tang fell well and personally escorted Liu Bang's father and wife to go, and even Peng Cheng was no longer guarded.
However, Xiang Yu also wanted to put pressure on Liu Bang to press Liu Taigong to Guangwujian and make a gao li [zǔ] (an instrument containing meat during sacrifice), bind Taigong, put him on the lime, and push it out of the front.
Xiang Yu sent a message to Liu Bang: "If Ru does not come out quickly, he will cook Ru Father to cook food." ”
Liu Bang said to the people who came: "I and the overlord colleague Yidi, the Yidi Emperor ordered the two of us to be brothers, my father is the overlord father, the overlord will now want to cook his father, still hope to share a piece of meat soup with me, there is no need to scare me with false words." ”
Xiang Yu listened to the silence, and his uncle Xiang Tang dissuaded: "Now the affairs of the world are not yet known, and although it is useless to kill his father now, it will only add resentment to others." ”
Xiang Yu did not want to kill Liu Taigong, so he went down the steps and did not embarrass Liu Taigong again. Some of the literati in history said that Liu Bang was not in danger, and some said that Liu Bang was not filial piety for his son.
A few days later, Xiang Yu heard that Han Xin had attacked Qi Wang Tian Guang, and immediately sent someone to negotiate peace with Liu Bang. At the same time, Xiang Yu sent someone to urge Xiang Sheng, the auditor general, to immediately recruit troops north to Pengcheng, and now the rear should not be chaotic. However, Xiang Tang did not dare to return to Pengcheng, he was afraid of Han Xin. Only by staying in Guangwujian and by the side of his nephew Xiang Yu did he feel safe, and even if Xiang Yu lost, Liu Bang would not kill him.
A few days later, news came that Han Xin was stationed in Linzi, and Lu Shishi led the people to surrender.
The Mood of the Han Army was high, and Liu Bang sent a group of Han soldiers with high voices to recite the Ten Deadly Sins of the Overlord in Guangwu Jianxi.
In Guangwu Jiandong, Xiang Yu mixed with a group of soldiers, pretending to listen to the rebuke of the Han army, and suddenly bent his bow and arrow and shot at Liu Bang. Generally, the strength of the shooting arm could not shoot so far, but the overlord was a wizard who had not been encountered in a hundred years, and this arrow hit Liu Bang's chest, and the King of Han turned over and fell off his horse.
This arrow pierced through Liu Bang's armor and shattered the large jade pendant on his chest, stuck inside his ribs. Lang Zhongcheng was afraid to take out the arrow, and Liu Bang was seriously injured by this and was bedridden for several days without moving.
Liu Bangzi was shot by Xiang Yu, and it was rumored in the army that he was seriously injured. Liu Bang endured the pain of touring the battalions to reassure the army. He first went to Chenggao, then to Guanzhong Oak Yang, and then back to Chenggao. Forced to run around, to show the soldiers, they are still alive and well, in fact, the pain is huge, and the pain is unspeakable.
[Han Xin called the King of Qi, Liu Bang Xiangyu Han Xin stood on three legs]
At this time, the letter from the great general Han Xin was sent to Chenggao: "The Qi people are deceitful and repeated, and the southern border of their country is close to Chu, and the non-Li king cannot be soothed." Now that the vassals are light in power, they may not be able to shoulder this heavy responsibility, so please establish yourself as a false king. ”
Liu Bang was furious when he read the book, and scolded Han Xin to the emissary: "I am trapped here, day and night looking forward to Ru lai to help, Ru is proud of his pride, and he wants to establish himself as king!" ”
The Wen and Wu beside him all showed an unhappy color, Han Xin was a lot of meritorious service, but we followed the King of Han desperately, and there was no merit and there was hard work.
Only Zhang Liang reminded: "At this moment, the overlord is afraid of sending decent people to alienate the great general, and the great king might as well take advantage of the situation to establish himself as the king of Qi, otherwise there will be a change in an instant."
Liu Bang heard this and realized, so he turned to the messenger and said, "Since the great husband has made great achievements and pacified a country, he will be the true king, so why should he be false!" ”
After saying this, Liu Bang issued an edict to forge the seal of the King of Qi, sent Zhang Liang to accompany the emissaries to the State of Qi, and established Han Xin as the King of Qi, urging him to send troops to attack Chu.
Objectively speaking, Han Xin destroyed the Three Qins, Western Wei, Dai Guo, Zhao Guo, and Qi Guo, and forced the surrender of the Yan Kingdom, and It is not too much for Liu Bang Xiangyu to worship him as the Son of Heaven. Those who dare to shake the Lord will be in danger, and those who have done their best to cover the world will have nothing to reward. Whether Han Xin fell to Liu Bang or Xiang Yu, it was bound to end in tragedy in the end.
Liu Bang made Han Xin the King of Qi, and his fiefs were Linzi, Jibei, Jiaodong, and Langya, which was one more Langya County than the State of Qi at the end of the Warring States. At the same time, Fu Kuan was made Qi Xiang and Ding Fu was made the Grand Sima (equivalent to Tai Wei) to restrain Han Xin. At this time, the State of Qi had two sets of teams, the Left Chancellor Cao San, who was at the level of the Three Dukes of the Han Dynasty, and Yushi Dafu, occupied Jibei County. Han Xingui was the King of Qi, with two three dukes under his command, Fu Kuan of Xiangguo in Cao's army, and Sima Dingfu the Great in the infant army.
This is zhang liang's skill of mastering generals, zhang clan three generations of assisting six han kings, I don't know how many generals have been controlled. On the surface, fu kuan and Ding Fu were not in Han Xin's army, and Ding Fu was not a close confidant of Liu Bang, so he had no use for Han Xin. Liu Bang gave Han Xin a large watermelon, and Han Xin seemed to have lost only a little sesame seed. However, later Han Xin went south to participate in the Battle of Xiaxia, and Cao participated in Fu Kuan but did not participate in the battle, but quickly moved east, and his troops approached Linzi City. The defenders of the cities of the State of Qi were originally few, and coupled with Fu Kuanqixiang's identity, they opened the city to greet them.
Han Xin was unmatched on the battlefield, but Zhang Liang, who played with power, was the grandmaster.
[Lu Xie got to the East County, broke the deadlock]
Liu Bang Xiangyu Han Xin stood on three feet, and the Han Dynasty lieutenant Lu Xie and the Western Chu state of Xiang It fought in the East County, and this local war was unaffordable for Both Liu Bang and Xiang Yu.
Lu Xie is Liu Bangfa Xiao, a Han Guo Tai Wei, and the second person in the Liu Bang Group. Before Liu Bang raised an army in Pei County, he fell into the grass and mounted the mountain, and Lu Xie led his family to come and defect. On weekdays, Liu Bang drilled a quilt with Lady Qi in the account, but Lu Xie did not shy away from it, went straight into the big tent, sat on the collapse and discussed with Liu Bang. From childhood to adulthood, in front of Lu Xie, Liu Bang had no secrets to speak of.
When Lu Xie entered Dong Commandery, xiang Yu just happened to transfer Xiang Ya to the State of Qi to fight, and Lu Xie took the opportunity to take several cities such as Linji and stood on his heels. Xiang He led an army of 80,000 from Dong Commandery to the State of Qi, and successively lost troops in front of Tian Guang and Tian Guang, and morale was low, and many people slipped away. When we returned to The East County, there were still more than 50,000 people.
Xiang it walked through a deep ditch and crossed the Jishui river from Dingtao, west of Changyi. Unexpectedly, Lu Xuan led his army to block the attack, and Xiang It lost another battle, and the mobile strength was only about 40,000. From then on, he stayed in Puyang and did not dare to go out of the city to meet the battle. Lu Xuan had invited Peng Yue to join him in blocking Xiang It, but unfortunately Peng Yue had been defeated by Xiang Yu since the last time he was defeated at Gun County, and his strength was seriously injured, and a few months later, his strength was still only about 20,000. The key was that he was frightened by Xiang Yu's cavalry and was no longer willing to go to war with Western Chu. If Peng Yue and Lu Yue joined forces, Xiang It might have surrendered a few months earlier.
In the following months, Lu Xuan was both soft and hard, attacking some small cities with weak defenses, and there were also Western Chu defenders who surrendered Kaesong. By April, Lu Xie had taken control of most of Dong Commandery and led an army of 50,000 troops to The City of Puyang.
Xiang Qi's troops were also about 50,000, 20,000 inside the city, 30,000 outside the city, and three large battalions were set up in a triangle to protect Puyang.
Xiang was still not at ease, and every day he sent people to Guangwujian to urge Xiang Yu to personally send troops to rescue him.
Xiang Yu knew that once he left Guangwujian, his cronies would probably not be able to hold on for ten days, and Xue Gong and Sima Cao were all lessons from the past. The point is that Lu Xian was well aware of Xiang Yu's good use of cavalry, and on the first day he arrived at the Puyang battlefield, he ordered deep trenches to be dug, barbs were placed, and horses were arranged, as if the primary purpose was to prevent Xiang Yu's cavalry from raiding, and the secondary purpose was to attack Puyang.
Xiang Yu could not tell Xiang Ya clearly, but could only be relieved and make him stick to it, saying that he could come to his aid at any time.
While attacking the Western Chu army outside Puyang, Lu Xie sent envoys into the city, and Xiang It stressed that the general Han Xin had already controlled the state of Qi, and that he would soon attack the overlord with the King of Han. Unexpectedly, Xiang it was not moved, but said that Han Xin was no longer a great general of the Han Kingdom, but the King of Qi, and the King of Han and the King of Qi had turned against each other.
In April, Lu Xie and Xiang It cut off the grain route, and although Lu Xie ostensibly occupied most of the cities in Dong County, in fact, the cities did not have much military strength and grain and grass support, and could only send people to nearby villages to borrow grain.
In May, the war continued to scorch, and the Han army still attacked the Western Chu camp outside the city every day, but the Han army lost more than the Western Chu army.
In June, Lu Xie came up with a strange plan, since he could send someone to lobby Peng Yue, presumably Xiang Yu and Xiang Yue also sent someone to persuade Peng Yue to surrender. So Lu Xie sent a thousand cavalry team, divided into ten groups, to set up an ambush on the way to Puyang in Onozawa to capture Western Chu scouts or suspected envoys.
Xiang It did send people one after another to persuade Peng Yue, not to ask Peng Yue to attack Lu Yue, but only to remain neutral. Xiang Yu also sent someone to paint a cake for Peng Yue, as long as he remained neutral, he would definitely be crowned marquis in the future.
Lu Xie caught several waves of Xi Chu scouts, so he ordered the general Wei Man to lead 10,000 people to quietly go south and detour back to the vicinity of Onozawa. Then, under the banner of Peng Yue, he went north with great fanfare. Wei Man and Peng Yue were somewhat similar, and at that time, the princes' armies did not have a unified uniform, and all looked at the flag.
Xiang It stood at the head of the city and saw "Peng Yue" appear not far away, his face haggard, and he knew that it was time to withdraw his troops again.
This time Xiang it went south, as the governor of Yan County did not garrison Yan County, because Xiang Yu had previously taken over Yan County. Xiang It went directly to Pengcheng, Sichuan County, and at this moment Xiang Tang had already escorted Liu Taigong and others to Guangwujian, and Xiang It, the pillar state and the governor of Yan County, was the most powerful person in Pengcheng, the capital of the Western Chu State.
Lu Xie's army fought repeatedly and was unable to pursue, but after taking Dong County, Liu BangXiangyu's confrontation situation finally ushered in a turnaround.
[Lu Qizheng Jiujiang, Jiujiang Wang Yingbu changed the title of King of Huainan】
After Lu Xuan took Dong Commandery, he did not rush south to attack Xiang Yu from the flank. Liu Bang Xiangyu confronted at Guangwujian, and although Liu Bang was at a disadvantage in terms of troops, he built the Han Dynasty City, relying on Guangwu, Chenggao and other cities, and the attack was insufficient, and the defense was enough.
Some of the defenders of the large and small cities of Ling county, some of them were not bad at their own ability, but they were dissatisfied with Xiang Xiang's repeated escapes, and now Xiang Yu took over the county, and the defensive power was greatly increased, becoming a strong bridge between the xingyang line and the rear of Pengcheng. If Lu Xuan attacked the cities of Yan County, it was inevitable that the troops would be trapped under the city and would be raided by Xiang Yu's cavalry. Lu Xuan fought in The County of Yan and Dong Commandery for nine months, and many of his generals were Xiang's old troops, which was equivalent to playing a card in front of Xiang Yu, and it was very likely that he would be attacked.
Liu Bang was also very calm at this moment, and did not rush to order Lu Xuan to reinforce, and the two brothers and heroes saw the same thing and carried out a strategic layout.
Liu Bang renamed Yingbu, the King of Jiujiang, as the King of Huainan, and made the State of Jiujiang and the State of Hengshan the State of Huainan. Yingbu's father-in-law, Wu Rui, the King of Hengshan, moved to the King of Changsha and remotely sealed Changsha County and Qianzhong County. Liu Bang split the Linjiang Kingdom that Xiang Yu had sealed, with Nan Commandery owning itself and the other two counties being Changsha Kingdom.
After this division, Yingbu Yao, the king of Jiujiang, was made the king of Huainan, and the counties under his jurisdiction were changed from two to three; Wu Ruiyao, the king of Hengshan, was made the king of Changsha, and the counties under his jurisdiction were changed from one to two; and the Linjiang kingdom sealed by Xiang Yu was erased from the map.
The Han army divided into two routes, and Lu Xie and Liu Jia led more than 30,000 troops from Dong County to the south, passing through Zhao County and Sichuan County, and attacking Shouchun, Jiujiang County. Yingbu was withdrawn from the battlefield of Xingyang and led more than 10,000 people south through Yingchuan County and Chen County, crossing the Huai River, and pointing directly at the six cities of Wang Capital.
Guarding Jiujiang County for Xiang Yu was Zhou Yin, who was originally a vassal of the Xiang clan, and after the destruction of the Jiujiang Kingdom, Xiang Yu ordered Zhou Yin to guard this place. When Sima Cao was defeated and killed himself, Xiang Yu made Zhou Yin the Grand Sima and according to this situation, if Xiang Yu could destroy Liu Bang, it was also possible that Zhou Yin would be crowned King of Jiujiang in the future.
Zhou Yin was a member of Xiang Yu's cronies with good ability, running Jiujiang County for nearly two years, hoarding a lot of grain and grass, rational defense arrangements, and the total strength of the army was no less than that of the Han army. Zhou Yintun's soldier Shouchun originally planned to send some troops north to reinforce Xiang Yu, but who expected Lu Xuan to fight first.
Lu Xie only took Jiujiang County four months later, when Henian took Xue County, Sichuan County, and even Pengcheng, and Liu BangXiangyu had already signed an alliance of the chasm. Xiang Yu retreated, Liu Bang pursued, and Xiang Yu's defeat was achieved. Xiang Yu then continued to retreat eastward, and Liji, who remained at Chen Cheng, surrendered to Liu Bang.
Lu Xuan had also done a lot of things in the past few months, and the Han army had dragged the ships for dozens of miles of the Shouchun Huai River to the south bank, and it was impossible for Xiang Yu to cross the river from Shouchun to the south. Lu Xuan also took more than ten small cities south of Shouchun, and his army increased to about 40,000.
Zhou Yin was only more than 10,000 people in Shouchun, trapped in the beast, he understood that Xiang Yu himself was difficult to protect, and it was time to consider retreating. Although Zhou Yin held the position of Grand Sima of the Chu State, when Xiang Tang left the Six Cities, he arranged for his own cronies to defend the city, and when Zhou Yin gathered his forces in Shouchun to go north, the Six Cities Defenders categorically refused, and a new divided force was actually formed within Jiujiang County.
Zhou Yin and Lu Xie were also acquaintances, and the two sides negotiated secretly, and the two sides reached an agreement. Zhou Yin sent people and Han envoys to Shucheng, ordered the loyalists who guarded the city to surrender to the Han army, and sent to the six cities to pretend reinforcements and deceive the gates of the six cities. The British army followed the Western Chu army into the six cities, slaughtering the city and venting its anger.
Subsequently, Lu Xie and Yingbu led their armies north to participate in the Battle of Xiaxia, and Zhou Yin retained his army to follow Yingbu.
Zhou Yin later became the Grand Sima of Yingbu, the king of Huainan, and followed Yingbu to rebel against Liu Bang, but he really couldn't help himself, and the soldiers were defeated and killed.
In general, when Liu Bang Xiangyu Han Xin was at the height of his three legs, Lu Xuan took Dong Commandery and attacked Jiujiang, breaking the balance of power, causing Cao Shan to break away from Han Xin to attack Xue County in the Western Chu State, and the situation under the world became more and more favorable to Liu Bang.
