Liu Bang and Xiang Yu's acquaintance.
It started with a borrowing of troops.
At that time, Liu Bang had led his troops to battle, but he had been betrayed by his own subordinate, Yong Chi.
The base of Fengyi was seized.
His wife, Lu Zhi, also landed in the city.
At this moment, Liu Bang could be said to be at his wit's end.
The only way was to find the army that Xiang Yu was in at that time and borrow troops from the Xiang Family Army, which was still under Xiang Liang's command.
Moreover, the Xiang clan was not prepared to lend him troops at first.
Whether it was Liu Bang or Yong Chi, they were all the same to them.
They were all rebel armies, and they could all be future enemies.
However, Liu Bang was indeed Liu Bang. He had a good eye for people.
Whether it was his subordinates or allies, he was very accurate in judging people.
He found the young general of the Xiang Family's Army, Xiang Yu.
He was heroic and young.
He tried to explain to Xiang Yu that Yong Chi was his subordinate and he was his childhood friend.
However, she betrayed him.
As expected, Xiangyu hated people who were disloyal and disloyal.
Therefore, he agreed to Liu Bang's request to borrow troops.
However, he also had a condition. He would lend Liu Bang 5,000 soldiers and return 8,000 to him in the future.
At this moment, Liu Bang could not care less and agreed readily.
However, Xiang Yu said 3,000, and in the end, it became 800.
However, Liu Bang still agreed.
He knew that this Young General Xiang was testing his determination to take revenge!
Moreover, he had the intention of recruiting them.
At this moment, Liu Bang didn't even have a city or a wife. What choice did he have?
Therefore, they all agreed.
Moreover, he did not show any signs of humiliation in the face of constant conditions. Instead, he welcomed them with a smile.
He had also gained Xiangyu's appreciation.
They thought that he had the bearing of a real man, not shocked or humiliated, and had quite the boldness.
……
"This Xiangyu's brain is also very strange. Doesn't he think that Liu Bang's shrewdness is a little scary?”
"You can't think like that. Who would have thought that this middle-aged man in front of us would be able to take over the world in the future?”
"Besides, with Liu Bang's status, there has never been a precedent of someone from a humble background taking over the world.”
"Perhaps, as a noble, he thought that Liu Bang would at most become one of his capable subordinates.”
"What nobles like to do the most is to give people favors to show their greatness.”
"Maybe he thought that Liu Bang would be grateful to him if he did this?”
……
Later on, Liu Bang brought the elite soldiers of the Xiang family to Pei County's Fengyi City.
As expected, the guards in the city were intimidated.
As a peasant troop, they obviously did not dare to fight against the Xiang clan's regular army.
At this point, Liu Bang had successfully taken back Feng Yi.
He had also officially joined the ranks of King Huai of Chu and fought alongside Xiang Yu.
However, the way they did things was completely different.
After Liu Bang took back Feng Yi, he didn't even execute Yong Chi who betrayed him.
His magnanimity was obvious.
On the other hand, Xiang Yu was cruel and heartless. At such a young age, he already had a record of massacring cities.
This was seen by everyone in the world. At the same time, it was also seen by their common ruler, King Huai of Chu.
……
Later, two major events happened.
First, Xiang Liang was defeated and killed. Then, the King of Zhao was surrounded by the Qin army in Julu.
King Huai of Chu immediately called for a meeting of the highest military level, preparing to split his forces into two groups.
He went north to save Zhao.
All the way to the west, Guanzhong directly captured Xianyang, the capital of Qin.
They also agreed that whoever entered the pass first would be given the title of King of Hanzhong.
Being the King of Hanzhong was the highest honor, and both Liu Bang and Xiang Yu wanted it!
Then, who would lead the army to take Guanzhong?
……
At the meeting.
King Huai of Chu and the other ministers were surprisingly unanimous in their opinions.
They thought that Xiang Yu had once massacred a city and was too violent.
It would easily cause the soldiers and civilians of the various cities to fight to the death and was not suitable to be a commander.
In the end, not only did Xiang Yu not get the mission to take Guanzhong in the west, but he was also not the commander-in-chief who went north to save Zhao.
On the other hand, King Huai of Chu and the ministers thought that Liu Bang was a generous elder.
He felt that Liu Bang was a generous and kind person who could treat the surrendered generals and the people well, so he was relieved to hand over the task of taking Guanzhong in the west to him.
……
As for what happened on the northern front, he had already told them about it.
In the Battle of Julu, Xiang Yu was only a second-in-command.
However, the effect it displayed far exceeded that of a general.
After the Battle of Julu, Xiang Yu had not only become a general.
His prestige was so high that his former ruler, King Huai of Chu, had died in name only.
He was already the leader of the world's rebel army.
Moreover, he had also rapidly advanced into Guanzhong after the Battle of Julu.
Therefore, the situation at that time was not optimistic for Liu Bang.
He was not as good at fighting as Xiang Yu, and he only had a few thousand soldiers.
At this moment, he had yet to obtain his Great General Han Xin.
Although the main force of the Qin army was attracted by Xiang Yu.
However, it was impossible to break into Guanzhong and conquer Xianyang with just a few thousand people.
However, if he could not do it, then this world would have nothing to do with him.
……
At this moment, Liu Bang's henchman, Chen Hui, advised,""There's no need to attack the city. As long as the enemy is given an official position, it will be unimpeded.”
The reason why Liu Bang could become the emperor was because he was good at humbly accepting the useful suggestions of others.
The truth was as Chen Hui had expected.
Along the way, Liu Bang only needed to guarantee to those cities that still belonged to the State of Qin that he would not kill a single one of them.
Moreover, the positions of the officials in the city would not change, so they could subdue the enemy without fighting.
This was because the Great Qin Empire was already on the verge of death, especially after the news of Xiang Yu's victory at the Battle of Julu.
At this moment, even Qin II was already dead.
No one had any hope for Great Qin.
Moreover, the reputation of leniency that Liu Bang had accumulated previously had also helped him save a lot of trouble.
If they were on the other side, Liu Bang would lead tens of thousands of troops to deal with Zhang Han.
Then, he definitely wouldn't be able to defeat them.
However, it was impossible for Xiang Yu to reach Xianyang with just a few thousand soldiers.
……
Liu Bang was a man who was good at using everything he could.
When there were no soldiers or horses, he could use illusory tricks to create momentum for himself.
When he borrowed troops from Xiang Yu, he knew how to make use of Xiang Yu's youthful and hot-tempered nature.
After defeating Yong Chi who betrayed him, killing him was useless, so he used his tolerance to accumulate his reputation.
Now that Xiang Yu had won the battle, he could even borrow his power to work for him.
It was also the combination of everything.
Only then was Liu Bang able to enter Xianyang, which had never been breached by Great Qin, without bloodshed.
Using the human heart as a weapon was the strongest weapon.
Liu Bang was an expert in using this weapon!
However, his actions had greatly angered his big brother, who had a more practical weapon.
It was Xiang Yu!
