Infinite Streamer

Liu Bang kept complaining to Liu Yuan, saying, "Am I the son of destiny you said I was, the founding emperor? Why is it so unlucky? Is there a son of destiny who is so unlucky?"

Liu Yuan said: "Be patient! A real man should be able to bend and stretch. The situation in this world is changing rapidly. Soldiers have no fixed shape, and water has no fixed state. We can only take advantage of the situation and stick to the previous strategy. First, rely on the greater strength to strengthen ourselves, and when the time is ripe and the conditions are met, we will achieve great things!"

"Send someone to find the person Jingju assigned to you to be in charge of logistics, food, weapons, and horses. It's time for your military advisor to show up!"

Liu Bang quickly sent someone to call the "person in charge" of logistics and asked, "Who are you? Do you understand military strategy?"

The visitor was quite steady and said slowly, "I am Zhang Liang, born in the old Han Zhang family. The Zhang family has been prime ministers of Han for five generations. I am well versed in Jiang Shang (Ziya) Taigong's Art of War." He then explained the essence of Taigong's Art of War to Liu Bang. After listening to it, Liu Bang nodded without saying anything and asked Zhang Liang, "What's the plan for the current situation?"

Zhang Liang thought for a moment and said, "In my opinion, it is wise to temporarily rely on Xiang Liang's name."

When Liu Bang heard what Liu Yuan said, he found it was exactly the same, so he acted according to what Liu Yuan and Zhang Liang said.

From then on, Zhang Liang always followed Liu Bang, offering advice and suggestions and making great contributions.

In his spare time, Liu Bang often consulted Liu Yuan to analyze the general situation of the world.

Liu Yuan said: "At present, the power of 'Uncle Xiang Liang and nephew Xiang Yu' in Jiangdong is the strongest. It's good to take shelter under a big tree! Let's accumulate strength and wait for the opportunity, act according to the situation, and then make a move."

"Make friends with the puppet King Chu Huai and his nominal generals, just in case of emergency!"

"As for Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu, they are stubborn, cruel, bloodthirsty, and ambitious. We should take our time to deal with them!"

Liu Bang soon visited Xiang Liang, expressed his intention to surrender, and hoped that Xiang Liang would help him capture Fengyi. In order to absorb Liu Bang's more than 10,000 troops, Xiang Liang sent troops to assist Liu Bang in capturing Fengyi. Liu Bang beheaded Yong Chi and displayed his head to the public, thus venting his anger for Yong Chi's betrayal.

Due to infighting, the forces of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were defeated by the counterattack of the assembled Qin army when they approached the Qin capital Xianyang. Wu Guang was killed by his subordinates in Xingyang, Henan, and Chen Sheng was killed by a coachman while fleeing.

Although the Chen Sheng and Wu Guang uprising ultimately failed, it seriously shook the ruling foundation of the Qin Dynasty and created favorable conditions for Xiang Yu and Liu Bang to later destroy the Qin Dynasty.

Qin II, Hu Hai, appointed Zhang Han as the commander-in-chief, leading an army of about 500,000 men. He successively defeated the forces of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang and the coalition forces of six nations. Then he was defeated by more than 100,000 troops led by Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu in Shandong.

Xiang Liang became increasingly arrogant and began to underestimate the enemy. He was counterattacked by a powerful force organized by Zhang Han. He was defeated and killed in Dingtao City, Shandong Province. He was pierced by thousands of arrows and his troops were covered in blood. In this battle, the Qin army won a great victory.

After Xiang Liang's death, King Huai of Chu enfeoffed Liu Bang as Marquis of Wu'an and Xiang Yu as Marquis of Chang'an, and declared: "Liu Bang will lead his troops to march into Guanzhong from the south of the Yellow River, and Xiang Yu will lead his troops to march into Guanzhong from the north of the Yellow River."

"Whoever conquers Guanzhong first will be king."

In order to avenge the murder of his uncle, Xiang Yu organized a powerful force, and fought a desperate battle with Zhang Han at Julu, Hebei, and defeated the main force of the Qin army in one fell swoop. Zhang Han surrendered to Xiang Yu, and Xiang Yu incorporated the remaining 200,000 Qin troops. Overnight, he killed all the surrendered Qin troops, and "the 120 Qin passes finally belonged to Chu."

After the Battle of Julu, Xiang Yu's prestige and momentum were high, and he was unrivaled for a time, and he was determined to become the King of Guanzhong.

Seeing Xiang Yu's strong momentum, Liu Bang also wanted to compete for the title of King of Guanzhong, and prepared to send troops to attack all the way to Xianyang.

Liu Yuan quickly called a halt to Liu Bang's irrational behavior. "Don't underestimate the enemy. It's better to bluff and use the momentum of the Battle of Julu to create an illusion, so that the Qin army will mistakenly believe that we have more soldiers and generals and sufficient food and grass, and then send people to try to persuade them to surrender."

Liu Bang then accepted Liu Yuan's advice and acted according to the plan.

At this time, the main force of the Qin Dynasty had been killed by Xiang Yu, and Liu Bang actually persuaded most of the Qin officers and soldiers defending the city to surrender. Many city defenders surrendered upon hearing the news, and they quickly arrived at Xianyang, the capital of the Qin Dynasty.

Then, Liu Bang followed suit and sent people to Xianyang City to persuade Qin III Emperor Ziying to surrender.

At the same time, under Liu Yuan's indoctrination of legal consciousness, Liu Bang, who already had a strong legal consciousness, followed Liu Yuan's instructions and launched a wide range of propaganda with "Three Articles of Law" as the core, going deep into counties, townships, villages, and pavilions. The content was "The harsh laws of the Qin Dynasty have harmed all of us people and made it impossible for us to live a normal life. Now I, Liu Bang's righteous army, will completely abolish all the harsh laws of the Qin Dynasty. The people only need to abide by three laws, that is, "those who kill will be killed, and those who injure and steal will be punished."

The people, who had suffered from the harsh laws and policies of the Qin Dynasty, clearly expressed their warm support for the contents of the Three Articles of Law.

As the saying goes: "Three articles of law keep the people calm." This was the key magic weapon that enabled Liu Bang to eventually ascend to the throne, the "Nine-Five Emperor". It also became the core of the rule of law that forms the foundation of social governance for the Han Dynasty and all subsequent generations, including modern society.

It was precisely because of his resolute implementation of the Three Articles of Law that Liu Bang gained the trust, support and backing of the people, and finally conquered the world and established the Han Dynasty.

After much consideration, Qin III Emperor Ziying led all the civil and military officials in the city out of the city to surrender to Liu Bang, and presented the Qin Dynasty's jade seal and the Heshi Bi. At this point, the Qin Dynasty was destroyed.

No one could have imagined the following result at that time, but Liu Yuan's soul that traveled through time and space from the future was very familiar with the following numbers.

Qin Shi Huang unified the six kingdoms and was a powerful figure, but the Qin Dynasty he ruled lasted only fifteen years (221 BC-206 BC).

It took Liu Bang only two or three years to go from being a "little scoundrel" in the countryside to a small village headman in the Qin Dynasty, and then to successfully enter the city of Xianyang as the Marquis of Wu'an and overthrow the rule of the Qin Dynasty.

Liu Bang led his troops into Xianyang, the capital of the Qin Dynasty. The palace was full of precious objects, and the warehouses were filled with numerous rare treasures and huge wealth.
