Youge Kaifeng, as the capital of the defeated country, was once demoted to the county seat by the First Emperor, named Junyi County, and placed under the control of Sanchuan County. This place was the main route for Chen Liu to march into Sanchuan County. Ever since Liu Bang made a surprise attack on Chen Liu, he has been here

He reorganized his troops and waited for an opportunity to advance westward. As Liu Bang occupied Chenliu, Junyi County became no longer peaceful.

Seven thousand Chu troops have been besieging the city for nearly ten days. Since Li You's defeat, Sanchuan County has been in a downturn for a year. Hanoi guard Yang Xiong took over the military power and local control. Under Yang Xiong's reorganization, Sanchuan County

The county finally recovered some vitality, but the good times did not last long. The war situation in Hebei was tense for a time, and Sanchuan County was also deeply affected. However, Dang County lost Chen Liu, making the distance between the Chu army and Sanchuan County very close.

The first to bear the brunt was Junyi County. There were only more than 3,000 defenders, but the defender was very responsible. Although 7,000 Chu troops besieged the city for ten days, he was still meticulous and dedicated to the defense. He never thought of giving up Junyi County.

And fled back to Xingyang,

Several major and minor battles were fought. Although the Chu army attacked fiercely, Junyi County was well-guarded and well-supplied, so it could not be captured in a short period of time. This also made Li Shang, who had just surrendered to Liu Bang, feel a little melancholy. He originally thought that he had captured Junyi County.

Yi County, as the basis for promotion, has been repeatedly blocked.

Today, Li Shang once again mobilized troops to besiege Junyi County from all directions. He put in nearly a thousand ladders and all the defenders were dispatched. At this time, the rumbling war drums slowly sounded under the Junyi County. The west gate was the so-called Daliang in later generations.

Gate, this is a plain, and the main force of the Chu army stopped here.

When the gate flag opened, Li Shang rode out on his horse. Beside him, four captains followed closely. After walking for a while, Li Shang could clearly see a guard on the city, who was also wearing a helmet and carrying armor.

Looking at himself, that person is the guard general of Junyi County,

The two looked at each other for a moment. Li Shang looked back at the captain and ordered: "Send the order. In half an hour, the three armies will attack the city at the same time."

Three of the captains took the order and left. There was one captain left who was in charge of the central army. His name was Meng Fei and he was Li Shang's confidant. At this time, Meng Fei asked slightly worriedly: "The city is surrounded on three sides.

If the Qin army abandons the city and flees, there is still a chance of victory. If the enemy army fortifies the city and defends it, we have a slim chance of victory. General, please think twice."

Being interrupted from his meditation by Meng Fei, Li Shang looked slightly displeased and scolded: "I am bound to win Junyi County, you don't have to say anything."

Seeing that Li Shang could not be persuaded, Meng Fei said no more. At this time, a low horn sound was faintly heard in the distance, and the war drum behind Li Shang rumbled again, accompanied by waves of horn sounds. This was

prelude to attack,

After half a stick of incense had passed, Li Shang looked up at the sky. Noon was approaching. He slowly drew out his long sword from his waist, pointed forward, and said loudly: "The first person to become a sincere person will be promoted to the third level."

Those who retreat will be killed without mercy."

There was a wave of shouts in the Chu army's formation. A school captain took the lead and rushed forward. Behind him, like a big wave, the Chu army crossed the shield wall and rushed toward Junyi County.

The same battle also took place at the other two gates of Junyi County, one is the south gate and the other is the east gate. There are nearly two thousand Chu troops at each gate, carrying ladders, waving weapons, and holding shields, toward Junyi County

Rushing away, the war started at this moment,

On the city tower, the Qin army guard was anxious and restless. The Chu army was approaching with great force. He didn't know whether he could hold Junyi County. Moreover, his family members were all in the city. Once the city was breached, he would...

He did not dare to think about it anymore. No matter what, he could not let Junyi County fall. Thinking of this, the Qin army general looked at his subordinates and ordered: "Mobilize all the civilians and crossbowmen to the city to prepare for war."

Soon, aerial ladders began to be built up on the top of the city. The Qin soldiers and civilians kept throwing rolling wood and thunder stones downwards. The archers and crossbowmen stared at the dense rain of arrows and counterattacked down the city. The battle between the two sides was very fierce.

A wave of Chu soldiers climbed up to the top of the city and attacked the Qin army fiercely. However, the Qin army was outnumbered. Several Qin soldiers besieged a Chu army. They killed the Chu army who rushed to the city in three strikes.

Several soldiers of the Qin army waved their long swords and pushed the ladder of the Chu army. The ladder collapsed under the violent shaking. There was a long scream and nearly ten Chu soldiers fell from the ladder.

Smoke and flames of war filled the city. The war was extremely fierce. Even the generals of the Qin army brandished their swords and joined the battle. Li Shang, who was not far away, was staring at the city of Junyi County. The war had spread to Junyi. Near the county seat, as long as we increase our efforts, Li Shang firmly believes that Junyi County will be defeated.

He stared at it for a long time, preparing to lead his troops into battle to kill the enemy. However, a group of cavalry came galloping from a short distance away. A chief at the head shouted: "My lord has an order, and Li Shang is ordered to return to the army immediately to Chen Liu." "

"What," Li Shang looked at the Chu soldiers who came to deliver the message in disbelief, and asked again: "What did you just say, return to the army Chen Liu,"

The chief nodded and repeated again: "My lord has an order, ordering you to withdraw your troops immediately and return to Chenliu to join forces."

This time Li Shang was sure that he heard correctly, but seeing that as long as Junyi County sent more troops to attack, it would be defeated within half a day. Although he was unwilling to do so, he did not dare to disobey the order. After hesitating for a moment, Li Shang resented Said: "Cry the gold and withdraw your troops."

"Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang" the gong of withdrawing troops sounded in the Chu army's formation, and a large number of Chu troops began to retreat back. The Chu army that had already attacked the city had no time to retreat, and became a turtle in the urn, and was killed by the Qin army. Under the city, the ladders were still erected at the top of the city, but the Chu army had hurriedly retreated.

,,,,,,

In Chenliu County, hundreds of thousands of Chu troops have begun to enter the city one after another, organizing corvee labor and accumulating supplies to defend the city. Groups of Chu troops are galloping through the streets on horseback. This is the scout army, preparing to go out of the city to spy on the enemy.

When the war came, the atmosphere in the city was extremely tense. Even in the county government, Liu Bang and other generals gathered in front of the map and remained silent. Everyone's face was full of worry.

The room was deathly quiet. Soon, a personal attendant walked into the lobby, and his rich voice broke the silence in the room: "My lord, General Li Shang is back,"

"Quick, let him in,"

He followed Changnuo and left. Soon, Li Shang walked quickly into the hall, bowed and gave Liu Bang a salute: "I am in military uniform and cannot give a big salute. Please don't blame me, my lord."

Liu Bang smiled and nodded, helped Li Shang up, and said comfortingly: "Although Junyi County was not won, you have tried your best. I don't blame you."

"But my lord, Junyi County is about to be captured, why are we withdrawing our troops at this time?" Seeing that Liu Bang mentioned this matter first, Li Shang expressed his displeasure. Liu Bang also saw what Li Shang was thinking. Unwilling to give up, but Yang Xiong's army went south, Liu Bang was very worried that Li Shang would fall into Junyi County alone and be swallowed up by Yang Xiong, so he hurriedly transferred Li Shang back.

At this time, Li Shang didn't know about Yang Xiong's sending troops south. Liu Bang could only smile and said: "I just received the scout battle report. Yang Xiong sent troops south. His target is most likely Chen Liu. Therefore, this general will I have to rush you back to the army to avoid encountering Yang Xiong's main force. It is difficult for the seven thousand soldiers and horses under your command to resist,"

Yang Xiong went south. This was indeed bad news. Li Shang sighed softly. He nodded slightly and fell into deep thought.

At this time, Liu Bang looked at Fan Kuai on the side and ordered: "Intensify the defense, we must not slack off."

Fan Kuai sang his promise and walked out of the house, but Li Shang shouted: "Wait a minute."

Everyone looked at Li Shang. Li Shang thought for a moment and said, "My lord, garrisoning Chenliu can only solve the temporary crisis, not a long-term solution. I suggest that we might as well take advantage of Yang Xiong's first trip south to attack Yang Xiong." Our army has no chance of defense and takes the initiative to attack them unprepared. This battle will be won."

After a pause, Li Shang said again: "Yang Xiong suffered a setback in the first battle. Even if he reorganizes his troops and fights again, his morale is low, it will be difficult to achieve much. Please think about it, my lord."

Li Shang's unprepared plan was indeed good. Liu Bang nodded. He looked at Xiao He and Li Sheqi on the side and asked in a soliciting tone: "What do you think?"

"To attack his unpreparedness and poke his energy, this is a very clever plan, I agree," Xiao He nodded in approval,

,,,,,,

Yang Xiong can also be regarded as a powerful general. When Zhou Wen entered Han Valley, although Yang Xiong was defeated, at that time, the strength of the two sides was very different, and Yang Xiong was unable to resist the Chu army. However, after that, Yang Xiong returned to Hanoi to recuperate. After wandering around for many years, he once again developed his momentum and made a comeback.

He also spent a lot of money to operate in the court and bribed Zhao Gao before he could stand up and take over Sanchuan County. This time Liu Bang went north, which was Yang Xiong's best chance to stand up. As long as Liu Bang's troops were defeated, Yang Xiong could gallop around Henan. , in the future, he can also march his army directly to attack the capital of Chu, and show off his power in a battle,

All these dreams are only one step away. Yang Xiong was proud of his horse, and the 50,000-strong army was also marching south rapidly. Yang Xiong raised his head and looked around. There are many mountains. Here, not far away, is Baima City. , as long as you pass Baima City, it's half a day's journey to Junyi County. After resolving the crisis in Junyi, General Yang Xiong will send his army south to attack Chenliu.

Just when Yang Xiong was thinking wildly in his mind, suddenly, the sound of rumbling drums and low trumpets sounded in front of him. Yang Xiong couldn't help but be surprised. He was about to send someone to check the front army, but he saw a large number of Qin troops heading back. Running wildly, the formation was chaotic, and Yang Xiong was shocked. He rode out on his horse, stopped a running Qin army, and asked: "What happened in the front?"

"Chu...Chu troops, many Chu troops, have already come to kill,"

After hearing this, Yang Xiong was furious. Was his vanguard force so vulnerable? When they first encountered the Chu army, they collapsed. In anger, Yang Xiong killed the Qin soldier with a sword. He turned around and ordered: " Array,"

Yang Xiong's order had just been issued. Dust was flying in front of him. Countless Chu troops rushed towards him with shouts. Before the Qin army's war drums could beat, they were dispersed by the Chu army. Yang Xiong also broke up the formation many times. After trying to stop him to no avail, he and his followers hurriedly retreated.

Half an hour after Yang Xiong retreated, the main force of the Chu army came slowly. At this time, Fan Kuai, the vanguard of the Chu army, had led an army of 30,000 in pursuit. This main force was nearly 80,000 troops led by Liu Bang. They Along the direction of the Qin army's retreat, they advanced with great success and headed straight for Sanchuan County.

A war that had not even had time to start ended in a hurry...
