Qin and Chu each had their own troubles and had too much time to take care of themselves.

Such troubles and turbulence are actually the only way for a country to move from start-up to stability, and for powerful groups to move from establishing a team to establishing and improving institutional processes.

From a reckless hero to an unparalleled hero, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang failed to cross this step, but Li Yuan and Xiang Yu took it without hesitation. In the future journey, they will chase each other and compete with each other. As for Liu Bang, Han

The fall of the country caused his career to decline from prosperity to decline. After finally escaping the pursuit of the Qin army, he still needed to start over——.

Spring in Handan came belatedly in 203 BC.

This former capital of the Great Zhao Kingdom is still majestic and majestic after several years of war and vicissitudes. On the high platform of the ancient Zhao State in the north of the city, a funny and somewhat unlucky drama is taking place.

of performance.

The second day of February.

After many days of preparations, Chen Yu and Liu Bangguang sent out invitations, and successively invited the deposed Marquis Ji Luzi of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the old man Sihao who lived in seclusion in Shangshan, and Shusun Tong, a famous scholar in Qi who had just been sent back to his hometown, and others.

Under the auspices of Ji Luzi, the proud Chen Yu stepped onto the altar and abdicated the throne of princes and kings from Liu Bang.

Compared with Xiang Yu's barbaric approach of carving out feudal territories regardless of his own strength, Chen Yu and Liu Bang's approach was undoubtedly much smarter. Later, Zhao Xie, the king of Zhao who had been under house arrest for many days, also came to power with a pale face and asked himself to be the king of Zhao.

He dedicated his title to Chen Yu. Li Zuoche did not return from Qin for many days, so Zhao Xie gradually lost his patience and decided to surrender.

But obviously, compared with Liu Bang, who was very courageous and scheming, Zhao Xie was obviously petty. Although he had been sidelined for a long time and had little power, he still lingered on his position as a prince and refused to let go.

After offering sacrifices to heaven, Chen Yu got his wish and officially took over the throne of King Zhao, while Zhao Xie was renamed King of Zhongshan. At least he saved the throne, although the title of King of Zhongshan really insulted his dignity as a descendant of Zhao.

Zhongshan means Daidi.

In the past, Zhongshan was a state within a state of Zhao, but it was later conquered and destroyed by King Wuling of Zhao. After Zhao occupied Zhongshan, the land of Zhongshan was changed to dynasty. Chen Yu now restored the name of Zhongshan, with the intention of humiliating Zhao Xie.

The third day of February.

Zhao Wang Chen Yu held an alliance meeting in Handan. In addition to the two great powers of Qin and Chu, Zang Yan, the son of King Zang Tu of Yan, Xu An, the envoy of Wei King Wei Bao, and the envoy of Changshan Hou Zhong Limei, etc.

Everyone arrived. At this alliance meeting, Chen Yu, as the leader of the alliance, issued a petition against Qin.

"Yu Bucai is willing to follow the legacy of King Zhao, make an agreement with the princes of the north, raise the powerful troops of Hebei, and attack Qin in the west -!" Chen Yu's ambition was vividly displayed in this statement.

After several years of fighting, the situation in Guandong gradually became clear after being blurred. Under Liu Bang's strong persuasion, Chen Yu established himself as the leader of the alliance and ordered the generals of Yan, Zhao, Wei and other places to attack Qin. As long as he could obtain the same victory as Xiang Yu

A big victory. Chen Yu can become a hero in the hearts of Guandong people just like Xiang Yu.

The waves wash away the sand, and the one who remains is the king.

In Chen Yu's eyes, he could no longer see the Zhang Er who had slept with him and later stabbed each other. He could no longer see the large group of colleagues who were watching from the sidelines. In his mind, he only had two goals to pursue.

:Xiang Yu and Li Yuan.

——.

In the city of Handan.

A small courtyard with a well is located under a large locust tree in the east of the city. It was once the annex of Guo Zong, a great iron smelting businessman. After Liu Bang, a celebrity from Guandong, arrived in Handan, Guo Zong quickly took refuge with him with his businessman's vision.

In the past, with the financial support of Guo Zong, the already impoverished Liu Bang lived in Handan, although he was not rich, but at least he had plenty of food and clothing.

After Ji Tian gave up his position as King of Han, Liu Bang served as the Zhongshu Ling of Zhao State, responsible for coordinating the affairs of various forces. This position seemed very important, but in fact it had no real power. This was also a self-defense action taken by Chen Yu to guard against Liu Bang.

Liu Bang accepted Chen Yu's temptation without hesitation.

Liu Bang's open-mindedness made the Kanto people who knew the inside story express sympathy for him. At the same time, they also expressed disdain for Chen Yu's character. After discovering that he had done something wrong, Chen Yu hurriedly made amends and made Zhao Guo the most powerful.

The wealthy Pingyuan County area was assigned to Liu Bang as a fief.

After giving up a mere prince in name only, what he got was a guarantee of production in Pingyuan County and support from the people of Hebei. Liu Bang couldn't help but feel proud in his heart.

People feel refreshed when happy events occur.

Liu Bang's residence, Zhang Liang, Liu Jia, Liu Fei, Han Wangxin and other subordinates who followed Liu Bang from Yingchuan to Handan were all there. After Liu Bang established a firm foothold in Zhao, these people also received corresponding positions. Among them,

Zhang Liang was appointed as the commander-in-chief of Li Qi in Handan, and Liu Jia and Han Wangxin were appointed as captains respectively, each commanding 2,000 troops. Liu Fei had no ability and still followed Liu Bang as a servant.

Sitting on the warm brocade couch in the fire pit, Pei Gong Liu Bang drank the freshly squeezed goat milk and felt extremely comfortable. Opposite him, Zhang Liang was describing the turmoil in Chang'an City and the investigation and handling of Li Bi's corruption series.

, its scope of influence has expanded from Guanzhong to the entire Qin region.

Yan Le took over the Military Intelligence Department, and a group of incompetent and corrupt people were dismissed. The Qin intergovernmental organizations stationed in various places were panicked for a while, fearing that they would accidentally be involved. The civil strife in the Qin State caused Liu Bang, Zhang Liang, and Liu Jia to

These people who had been suppressed by Qin for a long time felt a bad breath coming from them.

"Haha, Zifang, say it again, this sounds so happy!" Liu Bang smoothed his neatly combed hair, and his bright eyes were filled with excitement. He drank the goat's milk in large gulps,

While urging.

"Pei Gong, you have listened to it three times." Zhang Liang waved his hand, cleared his throat and smiled. Like Liu Bang, Zhang Liang also felt the rare good time in the past few years, and his negotiation with Chen Yu

Although it was hard work, it also achieved tangible results, which re-consolidated Zhang Liang's once shaken identity as chief adviser.

"Haha, it's rare for this thief Li to faint once. Hearing it three times is not enough. Zifang, please tell me again. That thief Li really killed his former friend." Liu Bang leaned forward and said with a smile.

He continued with interest.

"Of course this is true, Pei Gong. I heard that Li Yuan had a conflict with the eldest princess of Qin because of this matter. Now, I guess he is very worried." Zhang Liang said with a smile.

"Okay -, great. We are not afraid of Qin's chaos, but we are afraid that it will not be in chaos. Zifang, please plan carefully. When the newly formed army is ready for training next month, we will advise Chen Yu

We have agreed to formally send troops to attack Qin." Liu Bang excitedly clapped his hands and shouted to his few subordinates.

"Pei Gong, there is another good news. My wife has written. The two generals Lu Ze and Lu Shizhi have recruited more than a thousand people from their hometown in Peixian County. They are now on their way." Liu Jia came forward with the same expression on his face.

With a smile.

Unlike other children of the Liu family, although Liu Jia's military commanding ability cannot be said to be first-rate, he can still squeeze into the second-rate and mid-level level.

After the die-hard brothers were defeated one after another, it was inevitable that Liu Jia and Lu Ze would be reused.

"Madam is here." Zhang Liang was also overjoyed. At a critical point when Liu Bang was getting older and his body could not bear more government affairs, Lu Pheasant's arrival was just in time.

"Oh, um, when will Madam arrive, I will personally go out of the city to greet you." Liu Bang was silent for a while, then smiled and said.

A while ago, because of the existence of Mrs. Qi, the relationship between Liu Bang and Lu Pheasant almost reached a freezing point. After the defeat of Nanyang County, Liu Bang also heard about the incident in Yingdu. Both Qi Ji and Liu Ruyi died under the Qin army's butcher knife.

, Lu Pheasant, and Liu Ying escaped in a warship under the cover of Lu Ze.

Is there any hidden secret in this? Liu Bang doesn't want to pursue it for the time being. His beloved woman and son died, and he is naturally heartbroken, but now is not the time to hold Lu Fei responsible.

Work together.

Only then can it be possible to gather the greatest strength, reorganize a powerful army, and regain the status of a prince and the respect he deserves. When thinking of this, Liu Bang felt his blood boiling in his chest, even his aging heart.

It also seemed to have regained its luster and was beating vigorously.

February 14th.

Liu Bang's wife Lu Fei, accompanied by her eldest brother Lu Ze and her second brother Lu Shizhi, led more than a thousand children from Pei County to Handan. Although this Lu family army was small in number, it was Liu Bang's hometown army. In terms of loyalty,

, much larger than the army composed of Zhao Di's young men.

"Madam, you have been wronged this time." Liu Bang saw Lu Pheasant getting out of the car from a distance, but he trotted closer and tried to hold Lu Pheasant's hand affectionately.

With a cold face, Lu Pheasant swung his cuff at the back of Liu Bang's hand, and a blood mark immediately came out, which was so painful that Liu Bang almost screamed out.

"Madam, King Zhao is hosting a banquet at the Sand Dune Palace. We are now living under someone else's roof, so don't delay." Liu Bang smiled broadly, and leaned against Lu Pheasant unyieldingly, whispering.

Liu Bang's body smelled like an old man, which made Lu Zhi almost vomit. She suppressed the discomfort and pretended to be happy: "Pei Gong is no longer a prince, and he is less courageous. It's a pity that Sister Qi is not here. Otherwise, this

She will definitely like it very much when we have a banquet."

When Liu Bang heard Lu Pheasant's words, he couldn't keep the smile on his face. Youdao means that whatever you do will reap its fruits. Whether in the Western City of Hanzhong or in Yingdu, the family members present at Liu Bang's banquet are usually not Lu Pheasant, the main wife, but

Qi Ji is a favored concubine. Now, if Liu Bang wants Lu Fei to attend Chen Yu's banquet, he can only pretend that he didn't hear a few sarcastic remarks.

Liu Bang and Lu Zhi were talking and making out. In the eyes of outsiders in the Zhao Kingdom, this scene of a husband and wife making peace was so rare, which showed that Liu Bang's character was absolutely trustworthy.

Zhang Liang and Lu Ze, who really knew about the feud between Liu and Lu, admired Liu Bang and Lu Pheasant's acting skills.

The arrival of Lu Pheasant has once again strengthened Liu Bang's power in a difficult situation. Regarding this gathering of power, among the Liu clan forces, perhaps only Liu Fei will secretly complain. (To be continued...)
