Xiang Yu was fighting and pinching Liu Bang on the one hand, and on the other hand, he followed his feelings and shifted to what he thought was the way of life.
Xiang Yu's criteria for judging the dead end and the living road are very simple: where you can get food, you will go there.
Liu Bang's political workers traveled to almost every village in the Huaibei Plain, guiding the masses to clear the wilderness, and it was quite difficult for the Chu army to take it on the spot.
Xiang Yu was puzzled: this is his country, but it has become Liu Bang's home field; This is his people, but he has become a supporter of Liu Bang, how did Liu Bang do it?
In fact, the reason why Liu Bang is deeply loved by the people of Chu is mainly due to Xiang Yu's help: Xiang Yu did not hesitate to rob every grain of grain in Chu Min's house in order to keep the troops alive; And Liu Bang starved Xiang Yu to death, and tried every means to save everyone from a little loss. So, there was no need for special mobilization, and everyone fell to Liu Bang together.
Xiang Yu traveled all the way east, getting closer and closer to Han Xin's defense area, and the danger was approaching step by step. Xiang Yu didn't want to go in this direction, the key was that any other direction would be severely blocked, only this direction would be easier to go. Helpless, he could only move east step by step according to the route set by Liu Bang.
In addition, Xiang Yu also has the psychology of gambling. He had a faint feeling: if Han Xin wanted to beat him, he would have led his troops to fight him a long time ago. From the Battle of Guling to the present, more than two months, Liu Bang gave Han Xin a great reward, but Han Xin has been holding his troops, why is this? Xiang Yu wanted to know the answer, just as Liu Bang wanted to know the answer.
Xiang Yu wanted to see if Han Xin could bring him some unexpected opportunity, and Liu Bang wanted to see if it was time to cut off Han Xin's head.
The two of them had the same thoughts, so they scuffled with each other and approached Han Xin step by step.
Xiang Yu walked to Qixia (in Lingbi, Anhui) and couldn't walk anymore. Because Liu Bang didn't want him to go on. Now that Han Shin is close at hand, it's time to take a stand: left to right? Kill Liu?
Xiang Yu also knows: It's time for a showdown!
Is it a blessing or a curse? Even if ninety-nine points are a curse and only one point is a blessing, it is worth looking forward to.
He ordered a defensive position to be built under the wall, ready to be held strongly.
He has no food and grass inside, no reinforcements outside, and is stuck in a small area, isn't he sitting still and waiting to die?
He didn't want to wait for help, but he wanted to wait for change—to wait for the change that Han Xin would bring.
Holding on was not to defend against the Han army, but to hold the troops. The art of war says, "the princes fight their own land, for the scattered land", Xiang Yu is now fighting locally, it is the scattered land, the officers and soldiers are easy to flee, this way, the troops fled with **, the loss of most of the half, the original more than 200,000 horses, now only about 100,000 (Xiang Yu's pawn can be 100,000). On the contrary, Liu Bang followed behind like a fart, constantly recruiting soldiers from the Chu army, and the number of troops was almost 100,000. If the phenomenon of flight is not stopped, the forces of both sides will soon be reversed. Sticking to the forts and guarding the key points of entry and exit can effectively prevent officers and men from fleeing.
Liu Bang looked at Xiang Yu's layout, smiled, and said to the generals: Xiang Yu has no food, no matter how many soldiers and horses there are, what's the use? Who is he pinning his hopes on?
Liu Bang had no intention of attacking the trapped Chu army, and set up camp ten miles away from the wall, taking a surveillance posture against the enemy under the wall.
The situation in the state of Chu deteriorated further.
Liu Jia took Liu Bang's handwritten letter and said that Zhou Yin had been lowered. Zhou Yin led the Jiujiang Army to join the Han army.
When Xiang Yu heard the news, not only was his heart cold, but he was cold from head to toe.
He had no anger, only sorrow, and for the first time he really realized that he had failed too much! Be a man and do things, and you will fail.
Zhou Yin is also a relative of Zhou Hou, he is very righteous to Zhou Yinren, he wants power to give power, money to money, trust to trust, opportunity to give opportunity, others surrender is understandable, how can Zhou Yin surrender? In the past few years, he has taken good care of the relatives of the three clans, and the good position and good messenger are given priority to the relatives, he thinks that the relatives are cronies, and who knows that the relatives are not credible.
He had to admit in his heart that he had lost to Liu Bang! Liu Bang's ability to win people's hearts is too clever! Back then, Ji Xin did not hesitate to die in order to save Liu Bang. Zhou Ke and Fang Gong were captured, and they treated his ** Houlu as if they were shoe, and would rather die than betray Liu Bang. and the old lady, Wang Ling's mother, in order to strengthen her son's loyalty to Liu Bang, said that she would die, but she did not hesitate.
He couldn't figure it out: what was he worse than Liu Bang? Because he couldn't figure it out, he was discouraged and had no self-confidence. People are not afraid to see themselves clearly, they are most afraid of not seeing themselves clearly, they don't know how strong they are, they don't know how weak they are weak, and they don't know where to put their self-confidence!
After Zhou Yin surrendered to the Han Dynasty, he performed positively, and together with Duo Bu, conquered six counties, and joined forces with Huang Bu to go north, captured and slaughtered the city father, and met with Liu Jia in Shouchun (raised Jiujiang soldiers to meet Huang Bu, slaughtered the city father in parallel, and followed Liu Jia to meet).
The three armies of Liu Jia, Tu Bu, and Zhou Yin continued to march north and rushed to Xiaxia, and the Chu cities along the way all looked down on the wind.
The three people came to the palace and joined forces with Liu Bang and Guan Ying, with a total strength of nearly 200,000, forming an absolute advantage over Xiang Yu. Since the Battle of Xingyang, Liu Bang has confronted Xiang Yu, and it is the first time that he has an advantage in troops, and he is more sure of defeating Xiang Yu.
On the contrary, Xiang Yu's eyes were gloomy.
There was no confrontation under the wall, but the difficulties of the Chu army were getting worse day by day. The biggest problem is to eat, and the officers and men are in a state of semi-starvation every day, and malnutrition and pessimism and disappointment have become the two great enemies that erode combat effectiveness.
Liu Bang is not ready to fight a tough battle, because it is not necessary. When the Chu army was so hungry that they fell down with a breath, they just went to pick up the prisoners. Perhaps take out a few large cakes, and they will crawl over themselves and rush to be prisoners.
Xiang Yu was a little puzzled: in the past, he attacked Liu Bangshou, but Liu Bang stuck to it without fighting; Now that he has changed his position, he guards Liu Bang's attack, but Liu Bang still guards without fighting. Could it be that this is the legendary "soldier who does not surrender to the people"?
