The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, the old brother will also be afraid

Chapter 154 The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, the old brother will also be afraid
[After seeing the defeat of the King of Han, the Huns Shanyu Modun sent more than 2 cavalry to unite with the remnants of the King of Han and stationed troops in the Yangmingbao area of ​​Dai County, Shanxi, in an attempt to prevent the Han army from going north.

However, the morale of the Han army at this time was at its peak, and its military strength had an absolute advantage. How could a mere [-] Huns cavalry be able to stop it?

So next, the Han army chased the Huns and King Han's army all the way to fight, three battles and three victories! 】

【Consecutive victories caused Liu Bang to make a fatal strategic misjudgment!

Liu Bang thought: "Perhaps the so-called Huns are not as powerful as rumored!"

But in fact, what the Han army encountered before was not all the main force of the Huns, so it was able to fight so smoothly.

It was precisely because of this strategic misjudgment that when Liu Bang learned that the main force of the Huns might be stationed in Fanzhi County, Shanxi Province, he decisively commanded the entire Han army to attack.

On the other hand, the Xiongnu used a trick. When the envoys and spies of the Han Dynasty came to investigate, they deliberately hid the elite army to show their weakness and set a trap for the Han army.

On Liu Bang's side, after receiving many times of intelligence that the main force of the Huns was not strong, the misjudgment was naturally deeper.

Liu Bang even led Qingqi under his command, broke away from the main force, and arrived in Datong, Shanxi first, for fear that the Huns would escape.

But in the end, Liu Bang rushed forward rashly this time, but crashed directly into the pockets that the Huns had already arranged.In a panic, Liu Bang could only lead the army and flee to Baideng Mountain in the east of Datong City, relying on the mountain to hold on. 】

Liu Bang touched his nose and said, "It's embarrassing."

[You know, Liu Bang at this time is already the emperor of the entire Han Dynasty.

If the emperor is defeated and killed here, it will be a big trouble, and even the newly established Han Dynasty may fall apart in an instant!
But fortunately, the light cavalry under Liu Bang's command is not weak, and several attacks by the Huns were repelled.

In the end, there was no way, Mao Dun Shanyu could only choose to besiege rather than attack, and wanted to trap Liu Bang to death. 】

[Before, Liu Bang led the charge on a light cavalry, without any supplies at all.

So when the Huns began to besiege and did not attack, Liu Bang himself also began to panic.

In the next seven days, Liu Bang and his army were almost trapped on Baideng Mountain without any supplies or reinforcements.Because Liu Bang had advanced too fast before, it was impossible for the main army of the Han Dynasty to arrive within seven days even if they marched overnight.

By this time, Liu Bang seemed certain to be defeated, and being captured alive by the Huns was already a certainty.

But in fact, it is not so.

In this offensive and defensive battle, the real competition between the two sides is actually patience.

The Han army on Baideng Mountain has persisted to the extreme and is about to fail.

But at the same time, the main force of the Han Dynasty will arrive in a day. The Huns at this time are actually riding a tiger, and some don't know what to do. 】

[The Xiongnu are nomads, and they certainly don’t bring much supplies.

Besieging Liu Bang at the foot of the mountain for seven days, in fact, his own consumption has already been great.

If at this time, the army of the Han Dynasty came to aid in an all-round way, the main force of the Huns would most likely be defeated and suffer heavy losses.So in this offensive and defensive battle, the comparison is actually whether Liu Bang can't bear it first, or whether the reinforcements from the Han Dynasty arrive first. 】

[At this delicate moment, Chen Ping, the counselor who has been staying with Liu Bang on Baideng Mountain, came up with a plan for Liu Bang.

He asked Liu Bang to spend a lot of money to bribe Maodun Shanyu's wife, and through the mouth of this lady, he gave Maodun Shanyu a pillow breeze and conveyed to him the situation in front of the Xiongnu. 】

[In the beginning, although Liu Bang adopted Chen Ping's strategy, after receiving the gift, Mao Dun Shanyu's wife did not intend to speak for the Han army.

But then, the envoy of the Han Dynasty claimed that if Liu Bang was captured, the Han Dynasty would present many beauties to the Xiongnu. The lady Shan Yu agreed because she was worried that she would fall out of favor.

Pillow wind blows,
After weighing the pros and cons, Mao Dun Shanyu found that continuing the siege did not seem to be beneficial. Instead, he retreated and signed some agreements with the Han Dynasty, which would be more beneficial.

As a result, the Huns began to ask for prices, and Liu Bang began to pay back the money.

In the end, the two sides decided to establish a friendly relationship in the form of peace.In this way, both sides do not have to fight anymore, Liu Bang can retreat safely, and the Huns can also get huge benefits.

After being surrounded for seven days, on a foggy morning, the Huns opened a hole in the encirclement, and Liu Bang finally retreated safely through the fog. 】

[Although Chen Ping's strategies these two times seemed a bit out of date, the effect was surprisingly good.The siege between Xingyang and Baideng, if not for Chen Ping's quick wit, might have become a hurdle that Liu Bang couldn't get past. 】

Liu Che mused to himself thoughtfully: "That's true. If it weren't for Chen Ping's strategy, Gao Zu might not have been able to establish a great man, right?"

Qin Shihuang Yingzheng recalled: "A few days ago, there seemed to be news that Chen Ping had been found. It would be too wasteful not to use such a person to insinuate the enemy."

[Chen Ping's credit is actually far more than this, because he really loves Liu Bang and the big man deeply. 】

Seeing this, Chen Ping, who had been silent for a long time, finally said: "Yes, how could you not love it? That is the country that I, Chen Ping, and Your Majesty jointly built!"

[In the 12th year of Emperor Han Gao (195 BC), King Lu Wan of Yan rebelled. 】

"Lu Wan's rebellion????" Liu Bang was so shocked that he almost dislocated his jaw.

You know, Lu Wan and Liu Bang were born in the same year, the same month, and the same day. They are not only fellow villagers, classmates, and Fa Xiao, but also Lu Wan's relatives and Liu Bang's father have a very good relationship.

Later, Liu Bang hid around because of the lawsuit, and Lu Wan not only did not avoid suspicion, but also followed Liu Bang.

Among those who followed Liu Bangpei County to raise troops, Lu Wan can be said to be an iron buddy among Liu Bang's buddies.

In terms of closeness, I am afraid that even Xiao He and Cao Shen are not as good as Lu Wan.

Among the princes and kings with different surnames entrusted by Liu Bang, except for Han Xin's great contribution, the others basically brought their own soldiers and horses to become a shareholder of the Han Dynasty, so they are not only employees of the Han Dynasty, but also one of the shareholders of the Han Dynasty.

Only Lu Wan can become King Yan is an exception. The main reason is that their relationship is too close, and Liu Bang trusts him very much.

How could Liu Bang not be surprised that Lu Wan would rebel against them because they were more brothers than brothers?
In fact, things are different in the world. When a new relationship between two people is formed, it will have an impact and influence on the old relationship.

[Lu Wan was crowned Queen of Yan by Liu Bang, and his relationship with Liu Bang suffered wave after wave of tests. In the end, the distance and the change of identity made their relationship unable to withstand the test of people's hearts and humanity.

As the king of Yan, Lu Wan saw Liu Bang and Empress Lu punish other princes and kings, and he couldn't help but start to worry, fearing that he would end up like Han Xin, Peng Yue and others.

The sense of crisis with dead lips and teeth made Lu Wan finally embark on the road of rebellion. 】
