Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 492

It can be said that Liu Bangjun put all his bargaining chips on the last siege of the city. For this reason, Liu Bang even directly sent a supervisory team composed of his own cronies-who would dare to kill the latter without mercy!

This time Liu Bang couldn't afford to lose. If he broke through Wuguan, he would be the fertile land of Guanzhong;

This time Liu Bang has no choice, if Wuguan is not broken, the offensive will not stop!

Although Liu Bangjun wanted to break through Wuguan City with the determination to die, the guards of Wuguan would not give up so easily. Although Liu Bangjun had climbed to the top of the city many times, he was beaten and pushed again and again.

Wuguan, which seemed vulnerable to a single blow, survived the attacks again and again.

"Pass down the order, whoever breaks Wuguan first will be rewarded with a thousand gold!" Liu Bang stared at the top of Wuguan city and clenched his teeth, saying every word.

"Pei Gong has an order, whoever breaks Wuguan first will be rewarded with a thousand gold." Immediately, someone announced Liu Bang's promise to fight again.

Hearing this, Liu Bangjun's morale, which had been somewhat exhausted, was immediately boosted, and soldiers on both sides of the city wall attacked the city wall at the same time.

Seeing this scene, Liu Bang was immediately overjoyed, but this joy was extinguished after a short period of time, because the two places were taken back under the counterattack of the Wuguan defenders.

Time passed little by little, but the melancholy on Liu Bang's face at the rear was getting deeper and deeper.

The continuous siege time has more than doubled compared to the past, but Wuguan always looks like it will be breached in the next moment, but it always holds out tenaciously.

……

Within Wuguan, in a residence.

"Your Majesty, Liu Bang is probably at the end of his rope." Bao Sheng said to Ziying with a smile on his face.

Now that Ziying ascended the throne, Bao Sheng, who was the first to follow Ziying, has naturally risen, and now he is an official minister.

"Should we give Liu Bang a big gift now?" Bao Sheng suggested.

However, Ziying did look up at the sun that was setting to the west, and said with a smile: "We won't fight, we will wait and see how long Liu Bang can last."

"promise!"

……

This siege lasted from mid-afternoon to evening, and Liu Bang was forced to retreat until the sky was dark and he could not see his fingers.

However, although he retreated, Liu Bang was extremely unwilling, because at the end, his army had already occupied nearly half of the Wuguan city wall. However, as the sky dimmed, the warriors who had already boarded the city had no follow-up supplements. , Only then was Qin Jun slowly brought the situation back.

If it was a few quarters of an hour later and then dark, maybe I would already be lying comfortably on the soft couch in Wuguan!
Thinking of this, Liu Bang punched the table in front of him unwillingly.

"Call all the generals to discuss the matter." Liu Bang ordered: "Invite Zhang Situ to come too."

Soon, the travel-worn generals came to Liu Bang's big tent and sat down one by one. However, at this moment, a soldier rushed in in a hurry. Slightly taken aback.

This is exactly what Liu Bang ordered to invite Zhang Liang's personal guard just now.

"Why are you so panicked?" Liu Bang narrowed his eyes and said to him.

It wasn't that the personal guard didn't say it clearly, and the second was that he leaned in front of Liu Bang and whispered a few words in his ear.

In the eyes of the generals, Liu Bang's face was sometimes angry, sometimes frightened, and sometimes puzzled according to the sergeant's words, which was extremely wonderful.

Because when Zhang Liang was about to leave, after much deliberation, he still left Liu Bang with the last strategy in terms of past friendship.

"The Qin army is deceitful, so it is advisable to flee privately."

To flee privately is to leave the army and escape by himself. As for whether Liu Bang will do such a thing, it is beyond Zhang Liang's consideration, and this is the only strategy that Zhang Liang can think of to save Liu Bang's life.

As for surrender, others can do it but Liu Bang can't. It is said that when Ziying traveled to Pei County, Liu Bang had already offended Ziying, and Ziying had long wanted to kill him.

For Zhang Liang's words, Liu Bang can be said to be dubious. If it is false, how can Wuguan, which looks crumbling, be able to block him for three days.

But if Zhang Liang's words were true, he would be almost able to win Wuguan.

"There is a letter, my father is dying, and I can't be filial as a son, so I can't calm down." Although he thought so in his heart, on the surface Liu Bang immediately found a reason for his behavior just now.

His old father, Mrs. Liu, just lay down for no reason.

"Pei Gong upholds the banner of righteousness, defeats the injustice, and punishes the Qin Dynasty. This is a great righteousness. It is expected that the Tai Gong should be sympathetic to Pei Gong." After Liu Bang finished speaking, Li Shiqi was the first to stand up and cooperate to smooth things over.

However, Li Shiqi, who was old and mature, really knew that if his father was really critically ill, Liu Bang's expression shouldn't be like this.

However, such rhetoric is enough to fool these rough generals.

Next, Liu Bang impassionedly encouraged the generals in the tent, and then issued a plan to attack again at dawn tomorrow.

"I heard that although Wuguan is only a fortress, there were hundreds of thousands of troops in the past, and the rations are extremely abundant. If they are broken, they can be taken." Liu Bang issued the general plan, and Li Shiqi played his superpower in due course. Great trick skill: "And Peigong has already ordered the grain to be transported from the rear, and the grain from the rear will arrive in two days."

After listening to Li Shiqi's words, Liu Bang smiled at Li Shiqi calmly and said: "On the day Wuguan City is destroyed, I will not take any of its gold, silver, pearls and jade, and you can use it for yourself."

Although the food and grass have been exhausted, it refers to ordinary soldiers. Naturally, these high-ranking generals have their own private collections, so they can't starve them.

Under the harmony of Liu Bang and Li Shiqi, these generals are quite optimistic about tomorrow's siege. After all, everyone has seen it, and they almost won Wuguan City today.

In the early morning of the second day, Liu Bang ordered to drive the hungry soldiers to forcibly attack Wuguan City.

However, just like the previous day, there was always a small gap in conquering Wuguan, and the attack on this day continued until the afternoon.

It's not that Liu Bang doesn't want to fight, but the second is that the hungry and dizzy soldiers can't fight anymore.

It's bearable if you lie still without eating for a day, but these sergeants are doing super-high physical work such as siege.

From yesterday to this morning, everyone's physical strength has long been exhausted. In the afternoon, it is useless for the supervisor to drive away with whips.

In desperation, Liu Bang had to order to suspend the siege, and then attack Wuguan after the food and grass from the rear arrived.

"Pei Gong, Mr. Guangye, please see me." That night, Li Shiqi came to Liu Bang's military tent.

"Let him come in." Liu Bang ordered.

However, when Li Shiqi came in, the first sentence he asked was straight to the point: "When is Peigong going to leave?"

Liu Bang raised his head and glanced at Li Shiqi, knowing that he could fool others but not the old man in front of him.

"In the counties around Chenliu, this old man's face still has a bit of face. It must be able to help Peigong make a comeback." Li Shiqi also knew that although Liu Bang's attempt to directly point out Liu Bang would be displeased, he did not Otherwise, if you don't leave and stay here, you will definitely die.

However, I am already old, and I must show enough value to let Liu Bang take me with me.

At this point, he has also seen that there may be a real problem with Qin Jun. Qin Jun is simply playing tricks on himself and others in Wuguan.

Now that Liu Bang's army was running out of food and grass, not to mention that the Qin army in Wancheng should have been waiting for two flanking attacks, even if the army retreated, the Qin army in Wuguan City alone could not resist Liu Bang's army in its state.

So if he wants to survive now, he can only leave this army here as a bait, and lead a small group of elites to escape through the mountains and forests.

Li Shiqi didn't believe that Liu Bang was the kind of person who would live and die with soldiers, so he guessed that Liu Bang must have already started preparing to leave.

"I'm just looking for someone to invite my husband here. Since my husband comes here, I can save it." After Li Shiqi told his value, Liu Bang immediately changed his expression.

Arriving here, Li Shiqi also breathed a sigh of relief, being able to leave meant the possibility of being alive.

In the middle of the night, Liu Bang and Li Shiqi left the big tent under the leadership of several Liu Bang's personal guards, but a general who looked very similar to Liu Bang changed into Liu Bang's robe and stayed.

Li Shiqi recognized this person as Ji Xin.

On the day before his departure, Li Shiqi took a serious look at Ji Xin. He knew that Ji Xin's mission was to confuse the bait left behind. gone.

Led by Liu Bang's personal guards, they came to a corner of the camp. Li Shiqi suddenly found that Liu Bang's fellow villagers, who were also Liu Bang's most trusted people, were here. Lu Wan, Xia Houying, Fan Kuai, Guan Ying and others were all here .

"Liu Ji, why did you bring such an old guy?" Fan Kui directly expressed his dissatisfaction when he saw that Li Shiqi was also brought here by Liu Bang.

"Mr. Guangye, you are a wise man in the world, so don't be rude." Liu Bang scolded.

Hearing Liu Bang's rebuke, Fan Kuili no longer objected to taking Li Shiqi with him. He could see that Liu Bang seemed to value this scribe. At this moment, he suddenly thought of Zhang Liang, who was also a scribe. Since Li Shiqi was useful, then Zhang Liang must be useful, Liu Ji must have forgotten.

Thinking of this, Fan Kui immediately suggested: "Then why don't you bring that kid Zhang Liang with you?"

However, upon hearing Fan Kuai's words, Liu Bang said without turning his head: "Zhang Liang ran away the day before yesterday."

Hearing Liu Bang's reply, Li Shiqi realized that he had never overwhelmed that young junior.
