The two sides continued to fight for nearly five months under Jimo City. Liu Bang's general Lu Wan and Xiang Yu's general Chen Wu were killed one after another. On the battlefield, the bodies were burned and replaced.
In desperation, Xiang Yu had to divide his troops to attack other cities in Qi State. Liu Bang was unable to take care of it and could only hold on to Jimo.
In the end, all the territory of Jibei of Qi State fell, Boyang and Linzi fell into Xiang Yu's hands, and Liu Bang was left with only Jiaodong.
Xiang Yu was unable to attack for a long time and was at the end of his strong crossbow. In order to prevent the Qin people from taking advantage of the situation to attack, he made peace with Liu Bang on the pretext of thinking about the common people in the world and returned Liu Bang's family home.
After this battle, Xiang Yu and Zhang Er divided the land equally, and named Liu Bang King of Jiaodong, ordering him to bow his head and become his minister.
Liu Bang was left in a corner of Jiaodong, and his position as the second prince in the world was replaced by Zhang Er. Thinking of the tragic deaths of his brothers in the past, he became increasingly depressed and drank and had fun with Qi Ji all day long.
Zhang Liangyin originally advocated the annexation of Jiaodong and Jibei and made suggestions, but he did not expect that it would lead to today's situation. He felt guilty and felt that the real dragon's opportunity could not see the whole picture. He felt that he was not good at learning, so he escaped into the mountains again and studied
Jiang Taigong's Art of War.
After Lu Fei returned to Liu Bang, she changed her past temperament. She no longer cared about the good things between Liu Bang and Qi Ji, nor was she angry that they ignored her. Instead, she devoted herself to teaching her children and helping Liu Bang handle government affairs.
Liu Bang seemed to have looked away, and he was so happy that he turned a blind eye to Lu Fei. The two sides reached a different kind of tacit understanding.
Over time, major military and political affairs were presided over by Lu Fei, assisted by Xiao He. The incompetent Shen Shiqi gradually gained a position in the army, comparable to Zhou Bo and Guan Ying.
However, Liu Bang smiled and said nothing. He believed that as long as he was alive, everything would be under his control. If he died one day, at worst, he could take Lu Fei away with him and everything would be fine.
Although Xiang Yu lost his troops and generals, he finally returned in triumph. After returning, he held a grand celebration banquet.
Drinking in the front hall, Yu Ji in the harem is personally dressing up a beautiful girl.
"Jie'er, Bawang likes this hair style the most. He also likes gentle women. You don't have to be timid later, just serve him well, you know."
"I know, I would like to thank you for your kindness." The girl bowed her head slightly shyly, her eyes gleaming as she imagined the scene of serving the overlord.
"You, after serving the overlord, you can no longer call yourself a slave."
"But in Jie'er's heart, the empress will always be the empress."
"Well, I'm glad you have this thought."
The girl's name was Kang Jie, who was originally the daughter of an innkeeper in Pengcheng. During Xiang Yu's expedition against Liu Bang, Yu Ji saw her being molested by bullies on the streets of Pengcheng and rescued her.
In order to avoid being harassed by bullies, she was brought back to the palace with great fanfare to serve as her personal maid.
Unexpectedly, the bully was so bold that he took advantage of his family's power and actually killed the innkeeper's family in revenge. Yu Ji was furious and went to Chen Ping to explain the matter.
Chen Ping investigated and found that the bully was the son of a local general in the city. Although he deeply hated this incident, he was still a local general. After weighing the matter, he postponed the matter until Xiang Yu came back.
Xiang Yu had such a bad temper. After Yu Ji told her about it and saw the girl's miserable look, she was so angry that she took the girl to the general's house to seek justice for her and avenge her.
Naturally, the general refused to sit still and wait for death. He scolded Xiang Yu for being ungrateful and led his own bodyguards to resist vigorously.
Xiang Yu also ordered his guards to attack. He rushed into the crowd with one sword and one person, killing everyone in the way. No one could sustain a move. In less than half an hour, he killed more than 200 soldiers and a whole family of men.
.
His heroic posture is invincible in the world, and everyone who sees him is trembling in heart.
This move was very popular and received a lot of praise in Pengcheng.
At the same time, he also accidentally captured the heart of a young girl.
Seeing the wise, powerful, tall, domineering, powerful, and invincible man, Jie'er was a little crazy. If she could become his woman, no one in the world would be able to bully her.
He secretly hid a fallen piece of armor from the Overlord and held it for comfort at night.
Yu Ji saw what she was thinking. She happened to be pregnant with Liujia and had someone else in her heart, so she simply pushed Kang Jie over and dressed and trained her according to Xiang Yu's preferences to replace her.
When Xiang Yu returned to the harem, he was already drunk and couldn't control himself. He fell into Yu Ji's room and fell asleep. He vaguely saw a woman who looked like Yu Ji, undressing and undressing in front of him.
Xiang Yu was a little crazy for a moment because of her plump and plump beauty, and all kinds of charms. He completely forgot that Yu Ji could not have such a graceful figure with her big belly at this time.
At night, Xiang Yu felt someone sitting on him and moving on his own. After a while of trembling, everything became boring.
When he woke up early in the morning and the drunkenness dissipated, Xiang Yu discovered the true appearance of the people around him.
"Jie'er, you? Dare, why are you on Gu's bed?"
"I don't dare, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"Where is Yu Ji, where is she?"
"Here he is." Yu Ji came from outside with breakfast: "Your Majesty, I asked Jie'er to accompany you. Don't blame her. Now that I am pregnant with Liujia and have limited mobility, you cannot have anyone by your side to serve you.
"
"Hey, my beloved concubine is interested, but you don't have to be like this. I, Xiang Yu, am not that kind of lecherous person."
"Of course I am not an overlord, but I have to think about the king. Besides." Yu Ji whispered in her ear, "Jie'er has already secretly made a secret promise to you, the king."
"Forget it, just keep her. From now on, you will be the lonely Mrs. Kang."
Xiang Yu looked sideways at Kang Jie, said casually, and supported Yu Ji: "You are pregnant, so be careful. You have to deliver breakfast in person. You can just ask someone to do this."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. I will be fine with you."
"I heard that the rising sun is good for the fetus. Let's go out and enjoy the sun with you..."
Xiang Yu just helped Yu Ji out without saying a word to Kang Jie. Looking at the sweet look of the two, a feeling of jealousy arose spontaneously.
.......
Spring turns to autumn, and a year passes quickly. There is an observation deck next to Xianyang Palace. It was built by the first emperor, but was almost destroyed by Xiang Yu. Fortunately, it was saved after being dissuaded.
From the observation deck, you can have a bird's-eye view of the entire city. Nowadays, the snow is falling heavily and it is covered with snow, making it a magnificent scene.
Snow gives people only one word - cold. The earth is silvery white and clean, but the snowflakes are still like catkins, cotton, and goose feathers fluttering from the sky.
The willow trees with all their fallen leaves are covered with fluffy and shiny silver bars; the evergreen pine and cypress trees in winter and summer are covered with fluffy and heavy snowballs.
However, in this beautiful scenery in the snow, there is a bit of a chilling atmosphere. Falcon Dragon Guards have filled all the crossings, and soldiers come side by side to protect the small group of people in the observation deck.
