Fan Kuai rode fast all the way. When he saw Liu Bang, it was already dark. At this time, Liu Bang's more than 2,000 horses were meandering forward, and more than ten carriages were loaded with goods. At this time, Fan Kuai jumped off his horse and took out something from his arms.

He handed a piece of bamboo slip to Liu Bang and said urgently: "Brother-in-law, Xiao He asked me to come to find you. He said that the county magistrate has forgiven my brother-in-law for his past mistakes and hopes that my brother-in-law can return to Peixian County."

Speaking of this, Fan Kuai looked at Liu Bang and saw that he was still listening, so he continued: "Xiao He also said that this is an opportunity. I hope that my brother-in-law will not miss it. You are a smart man and you will definitely be able to taste it."

Liu Bang heard that there was a mystery in Xiao He's words, so he looked carefully at the bamboo slips. There were only four words on it, "Pei County changed hands." Is this the hint Xiao He gave him? Liu Bang gradually fell into deep thought. Fan Kuai said anxiously: "Brother-in-law."

, don’t hesitate, I think we should go back to Pei County."

"Let me think about it." Liu Bang waved his hand and said. At this time, he saw that Fan Kuai was exhausted, so he asked his attendant to hand Fan Kuai a wine bag to quench his thirst. He jumped off the horse, and the team gradually stopped moving forward.

, Liu Bang came to a hilltop, looked into the distance, and fell into deep thought again.

The words "Pei County changed hands" are very likely because Xiao He and others have decided not to support the Qin Dynasty or the county magistrate Yu Guan, and he will become their trump card to overthrow Yu Guan, but

If you just go back like this, what can you get?

Are they replacing Yu Guan and taking control of Peixian County, or are Xiao He and others already having suitable candidates and want to recruit him to join the team? But no matter what their purpose is, at least it is much better than joining Chen Sheng himself. After all, when he arrives at Chen Sheng's place, he is just a

Inconspicuous little minions, thinking like this, Liu Bang turned around and gave the order: "Send the order, the whole army marches to Peixian County!"

...

In the Peixian County Yamenhoutang, Yu Guan was restless. He always felt that something was about to happen, but he didn't know what the problem was. Just like this, Yu Guan was irritable and paced back and forth.

On the side, the guest officer was gently sipping tea, and the fragrance of tea overflowed, which lifted his spirits. At this time, Yu Guan's uneasiness was already expected by him. In fact, during the day, when Yu Guan promised to recruit Liu Bang,

He had already guessed the purpose of Xiao He and Cao Shen, but with the two of them present, it was difficult for his colleagues to speak directly for fear of getting into trouble. At this time, he felt that he should not remain silent, otherwise, if Liu Bang invaded Pei County, he would not be worth the loss.

After thinking about what to say, after a while, the guest stood up, came to Yu Guan's side, and said softly: "Do you feel upset and uneasy, sir?"

When Yu Guan was told something important by his colleague, he couldn't help but stare at him and said in surprise: "How do you know?"

The guest sighed softly and then said: "Your Excellency, you are too hasty today. You should not agree to Xiao He's request and introduce the tiger into the house."

"Introducing a tiger into the house?" Yu Guan began to be wary. He looked at his guests and said in surprise: "Tell me and listen."

The guest nodded, picked up the tea cup, took another sip, and then said: "Liu Bang has been in Mangdang Mountain for many years. He has strong men and strong horses. He can definitely compete with the guards of Pei County. If your Excellency allows Liu Bang to enter the city, I am afraid it will be difficult to control him in the future."

, and suffer the consequences instead!”

At this point, the guest glanced sideways at Yu Guan and saw that he was still listening, so he continued: "Xiao He, Cao Shen knew that the bandit Changque was the enemy. Chen Sheng established Chen County on his own and established Zhang Chu State. Sishui County has been in turmoil and cannot survive for a long time.

, so I will take this opportunity to recall Liu Bang and wait for an opportunity to seize power. If you are willing to join in the conspiracy, you may be able to save your life. Otherwise, I am afraid that you will not be able to escape the sword!"

Bin Li's words were very meaningful, and Yu Guan felt that his back was wet with sweat. He couldn't help but sigh softly, looked up at the roof, and pondered for a long time.

Time passed minute by minute, and Yu Guan was still deep in thought. The guest thought that he had finished speaking and could not go on further, so he had to return to his seat and continue to drink tea. I don’t know how long it had passed before Yu Guan snorted coldly.

, looked at the door and shouted: "Someone is coming!"

A yamen servant opened the door and came in, and raised his hand to Yu Guan. Yu Guan looked at the yamen servant and ordered: "Order the county lieutenant to immediately mobilize troops to arrest Xiao He and Cao Shen and bring them to justice. There must be no mistakes!"

...

Fan Kuai had left for a day and a night. After inspecting the granary, Xiao He rode his horse and walked in the street. If Liu Bang could trust himself and return to Peixian, then the chance of overthrowing Yu Guan is 90%. In other words, Liu Bang

It is absolutely possible to occupy Peixian County, occupy a place, and start a business in Peixian County.

To be honest, Xiao He did not have absolute confidence in Liu Bang. However, judging from Liu Bang's courage to relieve the corvee, he was a far-sighted and righteous man. It would be great to have such a man lead the elders of Peixian County to fight.

This life worthwhile.

What's more, what Yu Guan said is right. Chen Sheng can stand on his own in Chen County, and Sishui County is in his pocket. Sooner or later, he will go north to conquer Sishui County. It is only a matter of time. If Pei County is not fully prepared,

It will definitely be devoured. However, if Pei County has established its own troops and responded to the call to fight against Qin, Chen Sheng will not invade aggressively in a short period of time. This is why Xiao He tried his best to recall Liu Bang.

At this time, the county government office was not far away. Xiao He put away his thoughts, accelerated his horse speed, and prepared to rush back to the county government office as soon as possible. While stabilizing Yu Guan's mood, he tried to wait until Liu Bang arrived, but not far away, there was a rush.

There was the sound of horse hooves, and a man on the horse shouted: "Xiao He, stay!"

Xiao He looked forward and saw Cao Shen running toward him with a panicked look on his face. Xiao He instinctively pulled the reins and the horse stopped moving forward. At this time, Cao Shen had already rushed forward and threw a sword. After Xiao He caught it, Cao Shen was anxious.

He said: "Come on, the county magistrate has become suspicious and has sent troops to arrest us!"

After Xiao He heard this, he almost fell off his horse. He had just decided to go to see Yu Guan, but he had already discovered his purpose. In this way, Liu Bang's plan to send troops to Peixian was probably ruined, but life was important, and Xiao He did not dare to do it.

Without any delay, he immediately turned his horse's head, and he and Cao Shen quickly ran out of the city, and soon disappeared in the long street.

...

The mighty Liu Bang army marched towards Pei County. They passed through Daze and walked down to the city. After passing the Si River, they headed north along the banks of the Si River. More than a hundred pioneers, led by Cao Wushang, garrisoned the army.

To the west of Yuliu County, prepare to join the main force and then decide where to stop.

At this time, the sun was already high in the sky, and two horses came from the west along the mountain path. They were Xiao He and Cao Shen who had escaped from Peixian County. Because of their misjudgment of Liu Bang's marching route, they walked for half a day longer.

After a long journey, they found Liu Bang's main force.

At this time, Liu Bang had arrived at Cao Wushang's camp. A team of nearly 2,300 people was stationed in the west of Liuxian County. This also increased the pressure on Liuxian County, but Liuxian County had few soldiers and a low city, so they did not dare to come out easily.

Provoke this army of unknown origin.

In the camp, Liu Bang shrugged and looked at the map spread out on the table. On the side, Xiao He and Cao Shen both sighed. Soon, Cao Shen said helplessly: "We were about to succeed. There was only one step left, but Yu Guan actually regretted it."

Got it!"

Xiao He also sighed: "Yes, someone must be instigating it, could it be...?"

Suddenly, a person flashed in Xiao He's mind, Bin Li, yes, it was him. It must have been him fanning the flames next to Yu Guan's ears, which made all his plans fail. Thinking of this, Xiao He slapped the table in annoyance, but it was done.

At this point, I have regretted everything.

On the side, Liu Bang took his thoughts back from the map. He looked at the annoyed Xiao He and patted him gently on the shoulder. Xiao He shook his head and sighed: "It's over this time. Our children are all in the city. I'm afraid something bad will happen."

What a blessing!"

Cao Shen also shook his head and sighed, but Liu Bang smiled coldly and said: "Now that the matter has come to this, we might as well take the risk and attack Peixian County!"

"But Yu Guan has taken precautions. I'm afraid Pei County will not be easy to conquer!" Xiao He sighed. At this time, Liu Bang took out the dagger from his waist and instantly inserted it into the position of Pei County on the map. The dagger was impartial and hit the target exactly.

At this time, Liu Bang looked at Peixian, who had been eaten through by the dagger, and sneered: "It depends on man-made things! We can't give up!"

"Yes, don't give up!" Fan Kuai and others also shouted together. At this time, everyone focused their attention on Liu Bang. Liu Bang pulled out his dagger and shouted: "Send the order, go north!"

At the foot of Peixian County, Liu Bang's army was divided into three formations. The middle army was led by Liu Bang himself, with Xiao He on the left, Fan Kuai and Cao Shen on the right. The left front army was led by the pioneer Cao Wushang, with 500 soldiers assigned to it. The right front army had 500 soldiers.

Led by Zhou Bo, he also allocated 500 soldiers. In this way, the three armies lined up and the drums beat loudly.

More than a hundred ladders are placed in front of the army. Just waiting for the charge horn to sound, the troops will rush forward. It can be said that these soldiers have high morale after living in the mountains for a long time, and they can be used to attack the city. Moreover, Pei County is a small county under the jurisdiction of Sishui County.

, the city was low and not strong enough to withstand the invasion of the army, which made Liu Bang more determined to attack Peixian.

But again, the devil is one foot high and the road is ten feet high. After the county magistrate Yu Guan learned that Xiao He and Cao Shen had escaped, he guessed that Liu Bang must attack Pei County, so he mobilized the young men in the city to garrison in the city, plus more than a hundred people from Pei County.

The government officials can also withstand half a month. As long as reinforcements arrive, Liu Bang will be defeated.

At this time, the war drums were also beating on the city, but the defenders of Pei County did not go out to fight. They drove the young and strong people up to the city to hold on. Rolling logs and thunder stones were piled on the wall stacks, ready for use at any time. Just like this, the flags on the city tower

Hunting, drums and horns are noisy, the city is bustling with people, they are confronting each other, and war is about to break out.

Liu Bang had already rode his horse to the front of the battle. He raised his eyes and looked at the bustling crowds on the city. He didn't know how many defenders there were. If he attacked by force, his damage would not be too small. Thinking like this, Liu Bang's attack on the city would not be too small.

His determination began to waver. On the side, Xiao He suggested: "It is better to write several letters of divorce and shoot // into the city with arrows. We will know the benefits. The people in the city are forced to defend the city and will inevitably mutiny. We take the opportunity to attack the city. Great things can be accomplished!"

Liu Bang turned back to look at Xiao He. The top priority was to attack the heart and the second was to attack the city. This was the best plan. Liu Bang couldn't help but raised his head and laughed: "What Mr. Xiao said is absolutely true!"

At this time, Xiao He had dismounted, spread out the sheepskin on a stone, cut it into several pieces with a knife, wrote quickly, and wrote several letters to persuade him to surrender. Liu Bang called Cao Wushang and ordered someone to tie the sheepskin scroll to the arrow shaft.

, Cao Wushang took an arrow and led more than ten people on horseback to the city. He shouted loudly: "This is a letter from my king. Please read it."

After saying that, Cao Wushang shot a few arrows into the city. The city was like a boiling pot of boiling water, boiling abnormally. People began to grab the letters and read them. The main idea in the book was that Chen Sheng had already written.

Raising the banner of righteousness and gathering hundreds of thousands of people, they will march northward soon. Peixian County will be difficult to resist, and everyone will be burned. Liu Bang will respond to the call and overthrow the Qin Dynasty. If the people in the city are willing to surrender, disaster will be avoided.

There was a lot of discussion on the city wall, and soon, a strong voice sounded out: "I was irrigating the infant, but the first one rebelled!"

Suddenly, several flags on the city fell down. It seemed that a civil war had broken out. Liu Bang was overjoyed. Xiao He's strategy had indeed worked. Half an hour later, seeing that the war on the city was still continuing, Liu Bang drew // his bronze sword.

Pointing at Peixian County, they were preparing to attack the city, but at this moment, the south gate of Peixian County slowly opened. A man covered in blood, carrying two heads in his hand, walked toward Liu Bang and others, accompanied by dozens of people.
