The Chu army suddenly moved northward and came without any warning. Although Yang Xiong sent out scouts extensively, he suffered a big loss. Before he could see the general's appearance clearly, the Chu army disrupted the formation and hurriedly attacked. Flee north,

The Qin army fled across the mountains and plains for dozens of miles. Some Qin soldiers ran slower and were caught up by the Chu army and killed with one blow. Some Qin soldiers simply dropped their baggage and flags and hurried to the trail to escape, but were killed by the Chu army's cavalry. He blocked the intersection with thunderous means and finally surrendered.

In this battle, Yang Xiongkewei suffered heavy losses, but the Qin army had 50,000 troops, and the loss of thousands of people was just the tip of the iceberg. At this time, the Qin army retreated to the east of Quyu County, where the terrain was flat and plain. The army in the rear changed into the army in the front, with the crossbows in front and the cavalry behind, and reestablished their position. The Chu army pursued them here, but most of them were shot back by crossbow arrows, so they had to reorganize their formation and confront the Qin army.

Both sides beat drums, and the general came to the front of the formation. On the Chu army's end, the giant shield was in front, and the soldiers and horses were behind. A shield door opened, and Fan Kuai rode his horse out. He raised his eyes with his right hand and looked at the Qin army in front. , couldn’t help but sarcastically said: “A lost dog, do you still dare to fight?”

After Yang Xiong heard this, he couldn't help but became furious. He waved his halberd, rode out on his horse, pointed at Fan Kuai and said, "Do you dare to fight with me?"

"Fight and fight, but don't run away again this time," Fan Kuai said, laughing loudly. After the laughter, Fan Kuai took off the iron shield from behind, took off the ax from his waist, and rode his horse straight towards Yang bear to kill,

Two horses and two weapons clashed in the wilderness. Fan Kuai was thick and powerful, and he struck down an axe. Yang Xiong held a halberd in both hands to block, but he still felt that Fan Kuai was strong. Yang Xiong was shocked and his mouth was numb. , along with the galloping of the two horses, the two people soon separated,

They ran for more than a hundred steps each. Yang Xiong turned his horse's head and looked at Fan Kuai. He saw Fan Kuai also reining up his horse and standing, staring at him. Yang Xiong spat and said with hatred: "This man is really difficult." tangled,'

But this did not stop Yang Xiong's determination to fight Fan Kuai. At this time, he had already brandished the big halberd and was killing Fan Kuai again. As he approached, Yang Xiong had an idea. He knew that Fan Kuai's blow was very powerful. What he could easily shake was lying on his side on Mabei Mountain, holding the euphorbia in both hands, and stabbed Fan Kuai in the throat.

Fan Kuai also rode his horse to meet Yang Xiong. He waved his ax with his right hand, aimed at Yang Xiong, and prepared to end the battle with the axe, but Yang Xiong suddenly lay on the horse, forcing Fan Kuai to change his tactics. However, when he was about to approach Yang Xiong, Fan Kuai discovered that Yang Xiong's halberd was aimed at his throat. He was shocked and instinctively blocked the shield in his left hand in front of his chest. The shield and halberd met. After a loud noise, Fan Kuai's horse jumped from Yang Xiong's horse. He ran by, but Yang Xiong had already thrown away the big halberd, and rushed back to the main formation with his horse.

The hardness of the iron shield was fully demonstrated at this moment. Yang Xiong's halberd not only failed to penetrate the iron shield, but was hit by the powerful impact. At this time, Yang Xiong no longer had the will to fight. He had just rushed back to the formation to prepare. He ordered a retreat, but found that in the Chu formation opposite, Liu Bang's flag was already standing in front of the central army. This was the arrival of Liu Bang's main force.

He didn't even dare to fight, so he immediately turned his horse's head, drew his long sword, and shouted: "Retreat, retreat to Xingyang,"

The victory or defeat of the general is directly related to the morale of the entire army. At this time, Yang Xiong retreated hastily, which caused the morale of the Qin army to plummet. Everyone was unwilling to fight, threw down the flag in a hurry, and fled the battlefield in a hurry.

On the opposite side, Liu Bang had been arriving for a long time. He was very happy when he saw Fan Kuai driving away Yang Xiong. After Yang Xiong ran back to his formation, he hurriedly retreated. Liu Bang knew that this was the best chance to defeat Yang Xiong. He Without hesitation, he drew out his long sword, swung it forward, and shouted: "Whoever kills Yang Xiong will receive a reward of 100 yi and be promoted to one level."

Like a landslide and a tsunami, the Chu army swarmed into the Qin army's formation. The galloping war horses were like sharp swords, thrusting straight into the Qin army's hinterland. On both sides, spearmen, spearmen and halberdiers were also rushing forward. , forming a siege on the Qin army, and in an instant, the battlefield was boiling,

The Qin army rushed forward desperately, but suddenly, a group of soldiers and horses shot out from the diagonal thrust. They were wearing brown military uniforms and holding Korean flags. Nearly 70% of the soldiers and horses were equipped with iron swords and iron guns. These weapons All were ordered from Luoyang, and the leader of this army was Zhang Liangjun, who was wandering around Yingchuan County. Their sudden attack made the Qin army even more panicked, and they wandered around.

The Korean army first deployed a powerful bow formation. After several rounds of bow and arrow shooting, the cavalry and chariot soldiers suddenly rushed out. Then, the infantry followed closely, and the formation was orderly, blocking the Qin army's escape to Yingchuan County. At the main road, and behind, the Chu army had also entered the battle formation. The Qin army had to desperately try to escape north, but many people still couldn't escape. They were caught up by the Chu army, and they were hacked and killed on the spot.

Blood flowed like a river, and the sounds of weapons clashing became less and less. The sounds of begging for mercy, curses and cries gradually disappeared. The Qin troops who were able to escape had almost fled, but there were only some who escaped slowly. , either died in battle, or knelt down to beg for mercy. Groups of Chu troops came on horseback, surrounded these poor Qin troops, disarmed them, and then took them away.

At this time, Liu Bang rode his horse to the front of the battle. He had received urgent news that a Korean army was coming from the direction of Yingchuan County and blocked part of the Qin army's westward retreat. After a short period of thinking, Liu Bang guessed Yes, the person coming must be Zhang Liang.

Liu Bang was very excited to see this old friend again after a long separation. He walked for a while and saw more than a hundred horses galloping not far away. The leader was Zhang Liang.

Soon, Zhang Liang came closer, raised his hands on his horse and said with a smile: "General Liu, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

On the side, Zhang Buyi also bowed his hand to Liu Bang, and Liu Bang smiled and saluted back: "Brother Zifang, you make me miss you so much."

On the battlefield, everyone laughed loudly,

,,,,,,

The battlefield has gradually calmed down. Except for Fan Kuai's army who led troops to pursue Yang Xiong, Liu Bang's main force and Zhang Liang's subordinates are busy setting up camp. They will spend the night here,

Many soldiers went to the battlefield to burn corpses and sort out the supplies dropped by the Qin army.

Not far away, a tall tent stood in the open space. Inside the tent, there was a wooden table and two soft mats. Liu Bang and Zhang Liang sat opposite each other.

There was no place to heat hot water, so Liu Bang and Zhang Liang each poured a bowl of wine and placed a plate of dried meat on the table. Zhang Liang // knew that Liu Bang was an alcoholic, so he brought a can of wine.

After a brief silence, Liu Bang picked up the wine bowl and sniffed it in front of his nose. In this era of war and hunger, the lack of food made wine extremely scarce, especially fine wine. This was a good thing. Liu Bang sniffed it a few times. , raised the glass and took a big sip, shouting happily, Zhang Liang also laughed loudly,

At this time, Liu Bang felt that his whole body was intoxicated by the fragrance of the wine. He smacked his lips and tasted the wine. Then he looked at Zhang Liang opposite and said with a smile: "Why are you here, sir?"

"Alas... I'm ashamed to say that," Zhang Liang sighed lightly, picked up the wine glass and took a sip. He shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Since I assisted King Han in his march north, I have captured more than ten cities. I wanted to capture them all at once. Sanchuan County, in an attempt to advance further west, but unexpectedly, Yang Xiong led his army to Sanchuan County, and he took over the defense. I fought with him several times, but we were all defeated due to lack of troops and horses. In the end, I had to lead my army to wander around. In the Yingchuan County area,"

Speaking of this, Zhang Liang smiled mockingly: "A few days ago, I received news from the scouts that you had captured Chenliu and were reorganizing the army to move north. I guessed that there would be a big battle between you and Yang Xiong, so I asked The king has invited troops to help General Liu,"

Hearing what Zhang Liang said, Liu Bang was deeply moved. He stood up, held Zhang Liang's hand, and patted it gently: "As for the ovary, I, Liu Bang, would like to help you capture Yingchuan County first, and in the west It’s never too late to get in,”

Zhang Liang was shocked by Liu Bang's promise. He hurriedly waved his hand and said: "The westward advance is a great strategy and is related to the rise and fall of the Qin State. If the Qin State is not destroyed, how can other countries survive for a long time? How can I waste Liu's life here?" General, this must not be done,"

Zhang Liang resolutely refused to accept Liu Bang's help, but Liu Bang laughed heartily. He looked back at his counselor Li Shiqi and asked loudly: "I am going to march into Yingchuan County just to fight for Zhang Liang. Will you support me?"

"My lord, we must balance kindness with power and never break trust with our friends or the world. This is a great righteousness. How dare we oppose it," Li Shiqi answered tactfully. On the side, Xiao He also nodded in approval and said, "Help South Korea regain Yingchuan County. Not only for the sake of righteousness, but also opening up an important route to the west from Yingchuan County is not necessarily a bad thing,"

The crowd's affirmation further strengthened Liu Bang's determination. He picked up the wine glass on the table and said with emotion: "Fight for you."

Zhang Liang couldn't help but reject Liu Bang's kindness. He also stood up, raised his glass and said with a smile: "Then I will thank General Liu on behalf of my king."

At night, the camp was basically set up, and Fan Kuai's troops retreated one after another after chasing for dozens of miles. At this time, in the Chu army's central tent, Liu Bang ordered his soldiers to slaughter wild animals and entertained Zhang Liang.

Laughter filled the big tent. After three rounds of drinking, everyone danced and discussed something. It can be said that although Liu Bang ran the army well, he indulged his generals. This is an indisputable fact. Otherwise, after Han defeated Chu, Liu Bang would not let Shusun Tong customize the etiquette. At this time, the situation in the tent was like this, everyone was talking about their own affairs, and there was no dignity at all.

But at this time, Liu Bang was only a general, the governor of Dang County, and the Marquis of Wu'an, with no substantial status. However, everyone had already agreed that Liu Bang was the leader, but on the surface, they didn't pay much attention to them, and Liu Bang didn't care about everyone's performance. What he is more concerned about is what situation the world will take in the future. This is one of the reasons why Liu Bang is eager to enter the customs.

It was Liu Bang's dream to enter Xianyang and become the king of Qin, and the Zhang Liang in front of him, Liu Bang knew that he was by no means an ordinary counselor. Since the last time they met for the first time and Liu Bang talked with him, he knew that Zhang Liang was not an ordinary counselor. Simple,

Liu Bang put down the wine bowl in his hand. When he saw Zhang Liang looking at him, he smiled and said, "Sir, who does he think is the strongest in the world now?"

"I'm afraid the strongest one is already in the general's heart," Zhang Liang didn't say anything. He just stared at Liu Bang. Liu Bang coughed dryly and pretended to be confused: "You mean Xiang Yu."

"Xiang Yu relies on his own bravery and can dominate one side. If he wants to compete with the general in Guanzhong, I'm afraid it's not him," Zhang Liang said with a smile.

"Who is that? Please teach me, sir." Liu Bang still refused to tell the truth. Seeing Liu Bang like this, Zhang Liang couldn't help laughing and said: "You have a close relationship with him, and I have also had contacts with him. He has been in contact since he was a child." If you have great ambitions and can look after all the heroes, your power cannot be underestimated."

This time, Liu Bang no longer pretended to be confused. He and Zhang Liang cherished each other and couldn't help laughing and said: "Xiang Zhuang,"

The two smiled understandingly at each other. At this time, Liu Bang said again: "What can he do if he is aloof? I will rush into the pass first and dominate one side. There is also the danger of Wuguan, so why fear Xiangzhuang?"

"The general's words are wrong. After entering the pass, whether he can become the king as he wishes depends on the wishes of King Mi Xin of Chu. Moreover, the two brothers Xiang Yu and Xiang Zhuang are in great power. I am very worried that the King of Chu will change his mind due to the force of the situation. ,"

Zhang Liang's words were like a heavy punch, ringing the alarm for Liu Bang. He couldn't help but get up and wander around, no longer in the mood to drink. At this time, Zhang Liang got up and said with a smile: "This time I enter the pass, I am willing to go with the general to help him." "When Guanzhong is pacified, we can take action as the opportunity arises."

"Haha, with brother Zifang helping me, I have nothing to worry about..." Liu Bang showed his face and laughed,
