Chapter 263 Besieged on all sides, the overlord's end

[After destroying the Qi State, only the last enemy remains, that is, Xiang Yu, the most powerful Overlord of Western Chu. 】

[The decisive battle with Xiang Yu is also called the decisive battle of Gaixia. This is the decisive battle between Chu and Han, and it is also the last battle in Han Xin's life. But before that, there was a famous story between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu. 】

[In the eighth month of the fourth year of King Han (203 B.C.), Peng Yue of Liang land harassed the Chu soldiers and cut off their grain roads. Xiang Yu led the army to snipe Peng Yue and returned.

At this time, Zhongli Mo was besieged by the Han army, and the Han army fled because they were afraid of Xiang Yu.

At this time, Qi Wang Han Xin led the army to attack the Chu army again, and Xiang Yu began to feel afraid.Therefore, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang established the famous "Gap Peace Agreement" in history, that is, the "Gap" of the canal built by Wei State during the Warring States Period was used as the boundary to divide the world.

In September, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, led [-] Chu troops to withdraw to Chu by detouring southward and Guling.

Liu Bang also wanted to go west. 】

[However, just as Liu Bang was planning to lead his army back west, Zhang Liang and Chen Ping suggested to Liu Bang to tear up the peace agreement and launch a sneak attack from behind while the exhausted Chu army was returning east.

Zhang and Chen's reason was: "Han has too much of the world, and all the princes are attached to it. Chu's soldiers will be exhausted, and this will be the time when Chu is destroyed." They suggest that "it is better to take it because of the opportunity."

Liu Bang was not a rule-abiding person, so he naturally adopted the suggestions of Zhang and Chen, tore up the agreement, and suddenly launched a surprise attack on the Chu army.

When the Han army chased to Xia Nan, Liu Bangyue gathered Han Xin and Peng Yue to go down to encircle the Chu army.

Because Han Xin and Peng Yue did not send troops to attack the Chu army as promised, Liu Bang was defeated by Xiang Yu in Guling.

Liu Bang hurriedly led his army back into Chenxia, ​​and built a fortress to hold out, while the Chu army surrounded Liu Bang again.

Liu Bang, who stood firm on the barrier, asked Zhang Liang: "What can you do if the princes don't obey the agreement?"

Zhang Liang replied: "Chu's army will be broken, and the trust and the more will not divide the land. It is not suitable. The king can share the world, and now he can establish it. Even if he can't, it is unknown. The king can teach the sea from the east of Chen, Fight with Han Xin; go north of Suiyang to Gucheng, and fight with Peng Yue: if each of us fights, Chu will be easily defeated."]

[Liu Bang adopted Zhang Liang's suggestion, quickly adjusted his strategy, and made a promise to Han Xin and Peng Yue to carve up the entire territory of Western Chu.

As a result, Liu Bang once again won the support of Han Xin and Peng Yue, so a new round of battle between Chu and Han kicked off.

Although there were still many princes at this time, only Liu Bang, Xiang Yu, Han Xin, and Peng Yue were the princes who had the power to control the battle in the Central Plains.

And Liu Bang obtained the support of Han Xin and Peng Yue through his promise to carve up the entire territory of Western Chu. Now the situation has become a three-to-one, and Xiang Yu is undoubtedly at an absolute disadvantage. 】

[In the late October of the fifth year of King Han (202 B.C.), Guan Ying led his troops to occupy Pengcheng and captured many areas in Chu at the same time.

After Qi Wang Han Xin reached peace talks with Han Wang Liu Bang, he sent the Guanying Department to attack Western Chu.

Guan Ying almost swept across the hinterland of Western Chu this time, and even killed the Western Chu Kingdom.

Therefore, Xiang Yu had to retreat strategically to prevent Liu Bang and others from making dumplings.

When the main force of the Chu army returned, Guan Ying's army had already reached the Yixiang area east of Guling.

According to the records of the Ministry of Guanying, it was "reunion with the King of Han", that is, after killing each other, avoiding the army of Western Chu and finally reuniting with Liu Bang.]

[Yingbo, who was named the king of Huainan by Liu Bang, also sent his generals into the Jiujiang area, lured the defender, Chu Dasima Zhou Yin, and then joined forces to attack Chengfu northward.

At the same time, Liu Bang also marched east from Guling, the situation was extremely unfavorable to the Chu army, and Xiang Yu was forced to retreat to the southeast.

In November, Xiang Yu retreated to Gaixia, built fortifications and set up camp, rectified the troops and restored their strength. At this time, the Chu army still had about 10 people. 】

[The Han army is led by Han Xin with 30 people as the main force, General Kong is on the left wing, General Fei is on the right wing, Liu Bang is in the rear, Zhou Bo, Chai Wu and other reserve troops are on standby behind Liu Bang's army. 】

[After the transfer of troops was completed, Han Xin led the front army to call for battle and led Xiang Yu to fight.After a fierce battle, Han Xin still lured the enemy by pretending to be defeated, and led his troops to retreat. 】

"Haha, it really is another trick to lure the enemy by pretending to be defeated!"

"But why does Han Xin's 'pretend to lure the enemy' succeed every time? This is too simple!"

"It's really a bit simple, after all, Xiang Yu no longer has Fan Zeng by his side."

【Conceited and brave, Xiang Yu blindly attacked, but unexpectedly chased to the ambush of the Han army on the left and right. The flank of the Chu army was immediately attacked by the Han army.

At this time, Han Xin returned to fight back, and under the attack of the three Han armies, Xiang Yu was killed by surprise, losing most of his troops, and led the remaining troops back to the camp to stand firm. 】

"It feels a bit disappointing." Seeing this, Ying Zheng couldn't help shaking his head and commented: "Leading into the battle and fighting alone, Xiang Yu may be really invincible in the world.

But when it comes to commanding a large army to fight, Xiang Yu might not even be worthy of carrying shoes for Wang Jian and Bai Qi. "

After commenting on Xiang Yu, Ying Zheng began to comment on Han Xin again: "This Han Xin is also, the most used is 'pretending to be defeated to lure the enemy' and 'striking east and west'.
As long as his opponent is replaced by famous generals like Wang Jian and Li Mu who are absolutely cautious and thoughtful, he may not get the slightest benefit.

If he dared to continue to take risks, he might end up suffering a disastrous defeat! "

"Did the history of later generations overestimate Xiang Yu, thereby exalting Han Xin in disguise?"

"Therefore, God Su ranks Han Xin before Wang Jian, and I do not agree with it."

[Han Xin won the first battle, but he was not in a hurry to attack, but led his army to surround the Chu army from all sides.

The surviving Chu army had no reinforcements outside, no food and grass inside, and the severe winter season made them in a very miserable situation.

At this moment, there were bursts of Chu singing around the barracks.

When the soldiers heard the songs of their hometown, they felt homesick instantly, and all of them lost their fighting spirit. 】

"Yeah." Ying Zheng helped his beard, and said, "Let's take back those words for now, but luckily no one heard it."

[Xiang Yu was also shocked when he heard the song of Chu. He wondered in his heart, "Could it be that the Han army has already occupied Chu land? Why are there so many Chu people in the army?"

That night, Xiang Yu tossed and turned without sleep, drank alcohol in the tent to relieve his worries, and sang generously to Yu Ji beside him:

"Strengthen the mountain and the world is overwhelming, and the time is not good and the time is not dying.

What can I do if the dying is not dying?Yuxi, Yuxi, Nairuo! "

After singing, Xiang Yu burst into tears, and the soldiers around him were also weeping. 】

Ying Zheng couldn't help but shook his head and sighed: "Oh, this feather has messed up the morale of the army. It's really hard to describe."

[Facing Han Xin's plan of "besieged on all sides", Xiang Yu's army has not yet fought, and its morale has been defeated.

Xiang Yu knew that he could not defeat Han Xin, so he decided to lead more than 800 Jiangdong children under his command to break through at night. 】
