With Chen Liuqu as the boundary, Qin Chu is opposed, but there is still one place that has not been solved, that is, Daliang, and there is still Qin General Li Mai with 3,000 soldiers to guard, Yingbu is not clear when he leaves, Li Mai thinks it is stubborn.
After Liu Bang and Xiang Yu and others withdrew from Quyu, they went directly to Daliang, since the Qin army intended to let it, the Chu army was not polite, and first set up camp twenty miles outside the city.
Li Mai was a little surprised when he heard that the Chu army was attacking in a big way in the city, and immediately ordered someone to write a letter to Yingbu, hoping that he could come to support, after all, there was still a bit of a gap between thousands of soldiers and tens of thousands of soldiers.
The next day, Xiang Yu directly declared war under the city gate, although Li Mai was a deputy general, but he was not Xiang Yu's opponent at all, and he did not dare to go out of the city to face the battle, but stood on the city gate tower and hung a free battle card.
"You are the abandoned son of the Qin army, and if you vote for my Chu army, you will definitely be promised a high position!"
Xiang Yu shouted very loudly.
Li Mai held the long sword in his hand, his brows furrowed, and he was not afraid at all: "Next is Xiang Xiao'er?"
Hugh has to say more, the capable will attack the city, and the weak will retreat, why bother to persuade me to join the thieves!
Despised by others!
” Xiang Yu was furious, and immediately signaled the Chu army to attack the city with a cloud ladder, and then attacked the city gate with a catapult.
Thinking that the Chu army has nearly 20,000 soldiers, Li Mai only has 3,000, and the military talent is far from Xiang Yu and others, and the Qin army has been killed and wounded until noon, after all, although there are many arrows in the city, but the manpower is limited, the catapult of the Chu army can easily destroy the shield, and once the Qin army is injured, there is no substitute.
Xiang Yu had the heart to persuade him to surrender, and when he saw that the Qin army was exhausted, he stopped the attack and ordered the withdrawal of the army.
However, in two days, Daliang City was already empty, Li Mai knew that he was invincible, and still ordered the soldiers to resist angrily, and the food was not enough, so he killed his beloved concubine and let the soldiers cook.
The generals were greatly moved, but this is just a drop in the bucket, in the palace of Daliang, the inventory is empty, and Li Mai is sitting alone in the palace, very lonely.
"There are a lot of thieves today, and I am afraid that they will die for the country."
There was a lot of exclamation between the words.
The beam has changed hands several times, and it has long been dilapidated, but the military order is difficult to do, and the general wants to keep it, and he naturally can't abandon it as a deputy general.
The young general is not very old, about twenty years old, once served as the commander of the tun, burly, but Qin charge general Zhou Xiong is also, Li Mai saw his bravery, so he was promoted to deputy general, often on the left and right.
"Zhou Xiong, if you don't go to defend the city, come here to do something, in case the Chu army comes to attack, we will be destroyed."
Li Mai said a little weakly.
"General, the city cannot be defended."
Zhou Xiong said very directly.
Li Mai frowned slightly, "This is General Zuo's order, I can't do it." ” Seeing this, Zhou Xiong hurriedly waved his hand and said: "General Zuo led the army to evacuate, and did not explain that the general should defend it, now the city of Daliang is dilapidated, and it is useless to defend it, it is better to give it to the Chu army. ” Li Mai was unsettled, and often sighed and said: "Yingbu relied on his bravery and won the position of general, but the military order is so vague, and our rank is low, and we must not violate it." ” "Hey, general, don't you know that Your Majesty is the Holy Lord today, and he will definitely not kill the general easily, and if this city is lost, Yingbu is also responsible, so why bother to take it."
Zhou Xiong's exhortation made Li Mai compromise a little, and then asked, "How many soldiers and horses are there in the city now?"
” "There are five hundred soldiers, and the rest of the grain officers are one hundred soldiers in the battalion, so it shouldn't be a problem to escape."
Zhou Xiong said seriously.
Li Mai bowed slightly, "You go out, one horse and two people, take advantage of the noon heat, escape from the north gate, go to Quyu, and apologize to Your Majesty!"
” "The last general obeys the order, but the Daliang palace is burned?"
Zhou Xiong asked in a low voice.
"Otherwise, the palace is connected to the people's houses, so as not to burn the people by mistake, and it is safest to withdraw the army easily."
After the two discussed, at noon, taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the Chu army, they opened the city gate and fled all the way to the northwest, and then made a detour to Quyu City, not daring to slack off at all.
In the Chu camp, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang were drinking tea, and when they heard that the Qin general Li Mai had fled in the city, Liu Bang was very surprised and wanted to lead the troops to chase after him, but was stopped by Xiang Yu.
"Brother Liu, deserters are not something that anyone can handle, if you don't die in battle today, you will be executed if you go."
Xiang Yu said very casually.
Liu Bang bowed his head, "What the virtuous brother said is reasonable, but Li Mai is not a great talent, so he fled." ” "Well, but Da Liang Cheng, what do you think of Brother Liu?"
Xiang Yu then asked.
Liu Bang, who stood up, bent down slightly and picked up the teacup, his eyes were erratic, and he said for a long time: "Although Daliang City is the ancient capital of Wei, although there is no conquest, but the visit of the Qin army, it can be seen that the outer city is magnificent, but it is actually empty. ” "In addition, Wei Bao lost his brother and lost the city, and now he follows the Chu army, although he has no military achievements, his heart is commendable, it is better to give the beam to Wei Bao, and it is better to be a barrier between Qin and Chu."
"Besides, Dingtao has been taken, Qi Yan has not fought for several months, Qin and Chu are fighting, how can they make profits with others, they can retreat to Pengcheng, recuperate, and then make a long-term strategy!"
Xiang Yu listened to this, and bowed his head again and again, "Brother is really powerful, this plan is similar to my heart." ” So, when Wei Bao was summoned into the tent, he bluntly said that he would give Daliang City away, Wei Bao was grateful, thanked him many times, and then led the troops to be stationed in the city.
And Xiang Yu and the others did not enter the city, and immediately pulled out the camp and rushed back to Dingtao to make the next step.
To be precise, the two armies fought, and the damage was lost to Wei, and now the Wei state exists in name only, and the land on both sides is divided by Qin and Chu, and there is not much left, and Wei Bao barely holds on.
The matter of the Great Liang was decided, the Chu army retreated, Li Mai also led five hundred soldiers back to Quyu City at this moment, Hu Hai was preparing to return to the court, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard that Li Mai returned in a hurry.
After the monarch and ministers finished the ceremony, Li Mai wept bitterly, and immediately bowed to Hu Hai and said: "Your Majesty, the last general is not talented, and the beam is lost, please punish Your Majesty." ” When Hu Hai heard this, he instantly understood, obviously it was Yingbu who did not make a clear arrangement, which made Li Mai like this, but the military law was strict, although it was a mistake by the superiors, but the responsibility was still inevitable.
"The general has been holding on for many days, and he has tried his best, but fleeing from the general has been a serious crime since ancient times, and he is afraid of death?"
Hu Hai helped Li Mai up and said slowly.

The generals next to him were all shocked, and Meng Tian first said: "Your Majesty must not be reckless!"
The adjutant general Li Mai followed a certain front and back to fight, and he was very brave and should be spared. ” "Yes, the last general saw the general in the city struggling to defend the city, but the thieves were very wide, so he was not the enemy, and asked His Majesty to forgive the sin, if he asked for beheading, the last general was willing to die with his life!"
Zhou Xiong also said in a hurry.
When Hu Hai heard this, he smiled slightly: "I just asked, why should the generals panic, why should the generals panic, why do the three thousand soldiers in this Daliang City guard Chu and thieves, this is Yingbu's fault, the general is not guilty, but the Qin law is strict, and the official should be dismissed for three months, and then reused!"
