Liu Bang once ordered Han Xin to destroy Qi. Later, under the persuasion of Shi Li, Shi Li made him surrender to Qi. When Liu Bang ordered Shi Li to surrender to Qi, he did not revoke Han Xin's order to destroy Qi. When Shi Li arrived in Qi, he successfully persuaded the king of Qi to surrender to Liu Bang with his golden words. After Li Sheng's success, Han Xin is ready to withdraw its troops. However, after Kuai Tong's bluff, Han Xin decided to continue to "carry out" Liu Bang's order to destroy Qi and drove to the Yanji border with a great army. After being fooled, the King of Qi hated Li Shiqi so much that he ordered Li Shiqi to be thrown into the pot. A war broke out between Han and Qi. Tian Guang, King of Qi, is no match for Han Xin. Tian Guang decided to ask Xiang Yu for help.
Xiang Yu and Qi were worried before. When Tian Rong and Xiang Yan posed together, Xiang Yan was isolated and eventually died. After Xiang Yu was enfeoffed, Tian Rong, who was also in the same place, was the first to jump out against Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu sent troops to destroy Qi and slaughtered the people of Qi. Later, due to Liu Bang's sneak attack on Pengcheng, Xiang Yu had to withdraw from Qi. Although the two families are enemies, they have to put aside the contradictions of the past and stand together at the time of national subjugation and extinction. Most of the princes in the world were destroyed by Liu Bang, so Qi could only ask Xiang Yu for help. Xiang Yu certainly knows the importance of Qi. Han Xin destroyed seven or eight countries, and Xiang Yu now knows Han Xin's military talents. Xiang Yu knew that once Qi was destroyed, his home front was completely exposed to Han Xin.
In order to save Qi, Xiang Yu sent his best soldier, Long Qie, to save Qi with 200,000 troops. Twenty Wan Chu Army is also the only new force under Xiang Yu. At that time, Xiang Yu's total strength was about 300,000. At this time, he is willing to transfer two-thirds of the total troops to the battlefield of Qi. It can be seen that Xiang Yu attached importance to Qi. Xiang Yu knew Han Xin, but Long Qie didn't know or didn't want to know Han Xin. Long Qie took 200,000 troops to Qi, and after Qi and Tian Guang's remnants joined together, their military strength was further strengthened.
Long Miao's army has never been in direct contact with Han Xin, and a counselor of Long Miao gave Long Miao a reliable suggestion. He believes: "Han soldiers are far from fighting for poverty, and their front is unstoppable. Qi and Chu pretend to fight on the ground, and the defeat is easy. It's better to go deep into the wall and let the king of Qi let his trusted officials recruit the city to exterminate the nation. If the city is broken, it will be against Han if you hear that your king is here and Chu comes to save it. The Han soldiers lived for 2,000 Li, and the city rebelled, and there was no food, so they could surrender without fighting. " Long Zhi denied this correct plan, and Long Zhi replied, "I have known all my life that Han Xin is a man, and he is very nice. What should my husband do if he saves the soldiers who won the battle without fighting? If you win this battle, you can get half. What's the end! "
Long Qie doesn't know how good Han Xin is. He is a brave soldier, but he is definitely not the commander-in-chief in charge of everything. Longche only looks at people half. He only saw that Han Xin lived by begging for the first half of his life and had no viability; Then I saw Han Xin's leg humiliation and Han Xin's incompetence. But he didn't see Han Xin's forbearance or Han Xin's destruction of the Seven Kingdoms. Secondly, Longche is eager to work. It's a pity that Long Qie has such great ambition, but not such great talent. Han Xin and Longhe confronted each other on both sides of the Weihe River. Han Xin is an expert in water use, and this time he also decided to use water to solve Long Qie's army.
The battle of Weishui was a close battle, but the quality of Han Xin's leading generals was much higher than that of the Long Zhi army. Han Xin has Han Xin, Guan Ying, Cao Can, Lv Ze and Chai Wu, and Longyou has Longyou, Zhou Lan and Tian Guang. In this way, we can know the advantages and disadvantages of both sides of the war. Dragonfly despised Han Xin, but Han Xin didn't despise Dragonfly. Han Xin doesn't like to find fault with others, but he likes to hit himself in the face with his strength. Han Xin had soldiers take tens of thousands of cloth bags overnight before the war, and each cloth bag was filled with sand. Then Han Xin ordered the bags filled with sand to be thrown into the Wei River.
Weishui is not like the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, but a small river in Shandong. More than 10,000 cloth bags filled with silt were enough to block the Weihe River, and more than 10,000 cloth bags violently blocked the Weihe River, forming an artificial dam. The water level in the upper reaches of the Weihe River is getting higher and higher, and the water level in the lower reaches is getting lower and lower. After packing the bags, all the pre-war arrangements have been completed. Han Xin led the army across the Wei River and took the initiative to attack the Long Zhi Army. However, in a few rounds, Han Xin's army was defeated by Longche, and Han Xin's army, like the battle of Jingxing, laid down their weapons and fled quickly. Seeing that Han Xin's army was vulnerable, this ignorant Long Qie immediately got carried away and said, "It is also timid to know and believe."
The war has just begun, and Long Che has already lost the first move, because handsome people are most afraid of underestimating their enemies and being impetuous. In the face of Han Xin's "defeat and flee" excellent situation, Long Qie will naturally not let go. He ordered the whole army to move on, and must seize the opportunity to destroy Han Xin. 200,000 troops went into battle. When the army was halfway there, Han Xin ordered the soldiers in the upstream to push out more than 10,000 cloth bags that blocked Weifang water, and all the Weifang water blocked overnight rushed downstream. Before, because more than 10 thousand cloth bags blocked the upstream water, the downstream water level was relatively shallow.
Now more than 10 thousand cloth bags have been dug, which is equivalent to the flood breaking through the dam. The Weihe River in the lower reaches of the Weihe River has soared and the water flow has become very fast. Longche's 200,000-strong army was suddenly divided into two parts by Weifang Water. In fact, it should be three segments, but the second segment has become a delicious meal for fish in the water. After Long Qie's army was split in two by Wei Shui, the world was in chaos. Han Xin immediately stormed the Long Zhi army that had passed Weishui with a great army. On the one hand, it is the division of tigers and wolves, and on the other hand, it is the army dispersed by floods. The fighting capacity of both sides can be imagined, and the result of the war is not difficult to know. Long Qie was also killed by Guan Ying's general Ding Fu in a panic.
Long Qie looked down on Han Xin and wanted to win Han Xin with a bang. However, the final outcome was a crushing defeat, and finally I lost my life to Han Xin. After the dragon's nest was killed, the rest of the dragon's nest army fled everywhere because they lost their commander. When Tian Guang saw that something was wrong, he immediately patted his ass and left. However, Tian Guang didn't run far, and was caught up by Han Xin in Yangcheng. The rest of the ChuBing also have no need to fight again, all surrendered to Han Xin.
Long Qie's 200,000 troops were eaten by Han Xin in a short time. Xiang Yu's goal of saving Qi was not achieved, and his remaining effective strength was exhausted. Xiang Yu, with an army of 300,000, can still maintain a relative balance with Liu Bang. Now the state of Qi is gone, and so are the Long Zhi and twenty Wan Chu armies. Xiang Yu's total strength is only 100,000 troops. At this point, Xiang Yu was at a disadvantage in the Chu-Han War, and Liu Bang took the initiative in the Chu-Han War.
