Liu Bang listened to Xiao He's worries, paced back and forth, and after a long time, he smiled and said: "The prime minister's words are done by a smart person, as for the boy who is a lieutenant, he is only seventeen or eighteen years old." ” "Hey, I'd rather prevent it!"
Xiao He then said.
"The prime minister is cautious, he knows, since this is the case, then send troops, two thousand soldiers are not to worry!"
Liu Bang said calmly that from Peixian to the present, Xiao He has never made a mistake, and it should be right to listen to his words.
Outside Xiakou City, the lieutenant was waiting for a reply from the soldier, thinking that Liu Bang would respectfully hand over the silk book, but he never thought that it was his own soldiers who went back the same way.
The co-lieutenant in the tent was extremely angry, and without waiting for the letter soldier to reply, he directly asked: "Could it be that Liu Ji's old horseman didn't have any orders, or didn't he see it?"
” "General Qiyu, there is indeed a silk book, please take a look."
As he spoke, the letter soldier directly took out the silk book in his sleeve and carefully presented it to the lieutenant in front of him.
"Isn't this the silk book I asked you to send over?"
The lieutenant frowned slightly.
The letter soldier bowed, "That's right, it is the silk book written by the general, and the king of Han ordered someone to present it to the last general after reading it, thinking that he must have added a few strokes to it." ” The lieutenant took the silk book with some suspicion and slowly opened it, many of the words did not change until he saw the last sentence, "If you know that you are despicable, how can you ask each other?"
” "Liu Ji's old puppet, he deceives people too much!
When there is no soldier, so he is quick to speak!
The lieutenant immediately said angrily, and then threw the silk book on the wax table and burned it at will.
The adjutant general next to him knew that the lieutenant was young and vigorous, and he was afraid that he would cause some trouble, so he immediately stepped forward and comforted: "General Qiyu, the Linjiang army is only 2,000, and you still need to think twice about everything." ” The lieutenant frowned slightly, but still nodded in agreement, "What you said is reasonable, it is definitely impossible to go to the six counties now, it is better to withdraw the troops and return to Jiangling first." ” "The general is wise, and we will obey the general's orders."
The adjutant general said with some relief.
However, at this moment, 5,000 troops were suddenly dispatched to Xiakou City, led by Cao Shen, with Lu Juan as the deputy general, and another messenger was sent to the six counties to persuade the county guards to surrender.
Cao Shen crossed the river and went straight to the camp of the lieutenant to kill, and at this moment the lieutenant was still discussing the future with the adjutant general, and a soldier came to report in a moment, the meaning was very clear, the Han army was killing in a big way, and our army should be what to do.
The lieutenant in the tent was young and vigorous, and immediately waved his hand when he saw this: "Don't panic, stop the Linjiang army from resisting the enemy, if you want to come here for a short time, you may not be able to win if you are in a hurry to fight!"
” All the soldiers felt that what the lieutenant said was reasonable, and the lieutenant immediately ordered the troops, and the lieutenant also changed into a battle robe, and actually rode his horse to meet the Han army, five miles south of the Han River, the two armies lined up in formation, which was not huge, after all, one was two thousand, one was five thousand, a total of seven thousand troops, and the front and rear were only 100 meters.
Cao Shen saw that Gong Ao was a yellow-haired boy in front of the battle, and he didn't feel a little sneered, and immediately shouted loudly: "I thought who the son of the king of Linjiang was, but I never thought that it was a doll, so I would better go back to study and let your father come to fight!"
” Before the words fell, everyone laughed, and the lieutenant was furious, and immediately raised his gun and rushed towards Cao Shen, Lu Juan wanted to fight, but was pulled by Cao Shen, but Cao Shen grabbed the reins of the horse and moved forward to meet the battle.
The Gongwei spear was not in order, and stabbed directly at Cao Shen's chest, as if he wanted to defeat Cao Shen with his own bravery, Cao Shen hurriedly dodged the mountain, and stepped forward with his right hand, wanting to grab the spear in the hand of the Gongwei.
Seeing Cao Shen's move, he hurriedly raised the spear in his hand and directly punched a red mark two fingers wide on Cao Shen's palm, which made Cao Shen's face change slightly.
"When you are old, you think you are invincible?
Ridiculous?
Gong Ao sneered, then drew his spear back, counting the last round.
Cao Shen was enraged by the Gongwei, held the halberd in both hands, turned the horse's head and cut it directly at the Gongwei, "The vertical son doesn't know the rules, how can I be afraid!"
” The two fought in front of the battle for half an hour, nearly 100 rounds, and they couldn't tell the winner at all, Lu Juan was in a hurry in the rear, and then ordered the drummer to beat the drum, and immediately led the troops to rush over.
Seeing that the Han army rushed over, the deputy general of Gongao was not afraid at all, and he also stepped forward horizontally, and in an instant, thousands of people from the two armies fought next to Han Shui.
The Linjiang army is good at water warfare, but most of them are barbarians, strong and brave, and the Han army is a prisoner and soldier, many but not strong, flexible and agile, not for a moment, blood stained all over the field, miserable.
The two armies fought fiercely for half an hour, there were many casualties, and the lieutenant saw that the situation was not good, so he immediately waved his hand and signaled the adjutant general and ordered him to withdraw.
Cao saw that the direction of his retreat seemed to be Linjiang, which was somewhat inconsistent with the route of crossing the border of Hengshan County to Pengcheng as Xiao He said, so he did not pursue it.
The Gongwei folded a thousand men and horses, insisted on the starry night, and rushed towards Jiangling, while Cao saw the Gongwei escape, counted the men and horses and returned to the city, and the loss was more than more than the Linjiang army.
Liu Bang waited in the city for less than a day, and then listened to Lang General report to Cao Shen back, and hesitated a little in his heart, "The two armies are fighting, no matter how you say it, you have to turn around, so it is a haste to withdraw the troops." ” Just as Liu Bang was thinking about it, Cao Shen had already entered the hall, his clothes were still stained with blood, and he immediately saluted Liu Bang and said: "The last general will meet the King of Han, and all the thieves will flee back to Jiangling!"
” "Then the lieutenant didn't catch it?"
Liu Bang asked with some regret.
Cao Shen was beside him, and hurriedly shook his head, "It's not that the last general is incompetent, it's really the thieves who reacted quickly, and our army didn't bring food, so we can only fight quickly and then withdraw the army!"
” "The communist lieutenant should have fled back to Jiangling, the king does not have to worry about the future, when the six counties surrendered, a certain and the Qin army surrounded Jiangling, captured the father and son of Gongao, and now fought on the ground, the thieves are scattered, so it is difficult to capture."
Liu Bang also did not mean to accuse Cao Shen, and said quite kindly: "When the prime minister explained this matter at that time, this king also expected that the co-captain would not go to Pengcheng, and it is basic common sense to return to Jiangling today. ” "What should I do now?"
Cao Shen asked curiously.
"Seize the six counties, please Emperor Chu."
Liu Bang said slightly mysteriously.
Not to mention the places of Jiujiang County, the name of Emperor Chu alone was enough to subdue the courtiers of the counties, and after the battle between Gongwei and Cao Shen, they rushed back to Jiangling in two days.
At this time, Gongao and Sima Yin were still guarding Jiangling, and when they heard that Gongwei had returned, they couldn't help but have some doubts, and immediately opened the east gate and secretly introduced them into the city.

In the Jiangling Palace, Gong Ao's face was gloomy, and he looked at Gong Wei with some displeasure, and only said after a long time: "Some time ago, you said that you stuck to the six counties, but this Xiakou was occupied by Liu Bang, how do you explain?"
” "Father, that Liu Bang is cunning, he negotiated peace some time ago, but he never thought that he would send troops to occupy Xiakou today, and he has done this repeatedly, he is really a villain!"
The lieutenant also said angrily.
"Say less!
Six counties!
Gong Ao pointed to his nose and said.
