In the following five months, Liu Bang attacked the Qin Dynasty to the west, some victories and some failures, but no gains. All the land money and grain he gained went to Xiang Liang, and the defeat was inevitable. Xiang Liang, however, won a great victory by annexing and slaughtering other rebel forces before fighting with the main force of the Qin army. The king Huai of Chu, who has set up a puppet, is called Wu Xinjun. Xiang Yan assisted the puppet king of Chu in the good situation, lost 20 years after Qin Shihuang unified China, now the old dream has come true. In just a few months, Xiang Liang occupied Kuaiji County, Jiujiang County, Donghai County, Sishui County, Xuejun county and dangjun County, almost half of the state of Chu and half of the state of Wei. In the territory dominated by them, the crown oppressed all the rebellious princes. Liu Bang is just a pawn to take the place of the ghost. Sooner or later, he was defeated and killed in the great confrontation between the enemy and Liu. Like many rebellions, he soon became a ghost. Liu Bang was already under the control of others at this time. He could not move. He was not inferior or had a different intention. Xiang Liang's five thousand men and ten five doctors and generals could immediately kill Liu Bang and his buddies in Mangdangshan, together with the old revolutionary party in Qipei, just like killing Qin Jia and his king of Chu. Liu Bang does not know that he is in danger, and he must always be looking for opportunities to escape. Soon, the opportunity came.
Liu Bang's second dangerous situation has a turn for the better, or to ask Zhang Han.
In September of the second year of the Qin Dynasty, Xiang Liang, who thought he was a famous general and was proficient in the art of war, moved the capital city from xutai to Pengcheng (moved to Pengcheng in September), intending to govern the former place of Chu and Wei. Unexpectedly, after the occupation of Linji and the annihilation of Zhang Han, the king of Wei, on the one hand, he ordered the Ministry to attack Tian Dan, king of Qi, in dong'a, on the other hand, he led the main force to Xiang Liang. Xiang Liang doesn't know the danger is approaching, so he orders Liu Bang and Xiang Yu to save dong'a (Qin Jiwei). Peigong and Xiang Yu went north to save dong'a. When Liu Bang and Xiang Yu entered the Eastern Arab League, the besieged Qin army was defeated and retreated to the West. Xiang Liang didn't know what the plan was, so he led the main forces to pursue the West. At the same time, he ordered Liu Bang and Xiang Yu to attack Chengyang, so as to divide the enemy's situation and coordinate the main forces' attack. Liu Bang and Xiang Yu stormed Chengyang. It is estimated that they suffered heavy casualties. After the destruction of the city, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu slaughtered the city in Chengyang
Zhang Hanbao was naturally overjoyed when he heard that he did not divide his troops to save Chengyang. Instead, he ordered Li you, the prefect of Sanchuan, to lead a miscellaneous army to entangle with Liu Bang and Xiang Yu in the west of Dang county. On the other hand, he led the main force to Dingtao. When Liu Bang and Xiang Yu killed Li you in yongqiu (Peigong and Xiang Yu killed Sanchuan Shouli in the western part of yongqiu), Xiang Liang was restrained by Dingtao, and his main force was exposed in the wilderness. Zhang Han seized the opportunity and ordered the Qin army to go at a gallop to launch a surprise attack on Xiang Liang. In the first World War, he completely annihilated Yu Dingtao, the main force of Chu army, and killed Xiang Liang under Ding Tao City.
When the bad news came, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu were shocked. Xiang Yu fled quickly, retreated more than 500 Li to the East, and returned to Pengcheng. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liu Bang followed suit, but he did not return to Pengcheng. Instead, he stationed in Dangcheng, which is about 200 li away from Pengcheng. After this defeat, Liu Bang suffered a heavy loss. Originally, there were only 5000 disabled soldiers left in 14000 troops. The 5000 people Xiang Liang gave should have been taken away by Xiang Yu. Liu Bang's troops suffered at least 4000 casualties. This figure can be verified by the fact that after Liu Bang annexed more than 4000 people from Chen Wu, the number of troops still could not exceed 10000. People and horses are the capital to live in the war years. Liu Bang had nine thousand troops before he returned to Xiang Liang. In just five months, there were only five thousand left. It can be said that he lost his old capital.
What's more sad for Liu Bang is that his mother, Liu Yi, died in xiaohuangcheng. After more than 40 years of anonymity and more than 15000 days of humiliation, it was a hope in my heart. Now it has finally become a grudge and can no longer be realized.
The only thing that made Liu Bang sad was that he escaped from the tiger's den again and regained military power. Xiang Yu's men and horses just purified the revolutionary team, and now they can make their own decisions. They are once again on the journey for their mother's last wish and the life dream of Mangdangshan.
