Although this encounter outside Yongqiu City was a hamper of Liu Bang, she had certain abilities like Ji Xin, and she only needed a little effort to grow into a qualified general. For Liu Bang at this stage, she was undoubtedly the most precious.

From ancient times to the present, the word "human" is fought in war.

No one, even if he is as powerful as Gonggong, he can only be unwilling to reach Buzhou Mountain and die. However, Liu Bang's bad mood disappeared after hearing Cao Shen rushing to cut off Li You's head before the Chu army's fierce general Long Qie.

The first skill is still from our Liu family.

Liu Bang's mood improved. Although Xiang Yu defeated this city, Liu also made great efforts. If you don't believe it, see who killed Li You.

Liu Bang's good mood and good popularity bring support from many small forces. Compared with Xiang Yu, who is a scumbag except for Jiangdong's children, Liu Bang is much easier to deal with.

It is better to be the head of a chicken than the queen of a cow. What are the small forces afraid of? What are they afraid of being annexed by large forces. Compared with Liu Bang, who was harmonious and unthreatening, Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu's uncle and nephew are full of bad deeds.

In the magnificent battle between Chu and Han in the late Qin Dynasty and the Chu-Han hegemony, Yongqiu did not participate in many troops in this battle, with 3,000 people in the Qin army and more than 50,000 people in the coalition. Just from the perspective of the number of troops, this can only be regarded as a medium-sized war.

In fact, the impact of the battle of Yongqiu on the Qin army and the anti-Qin coalition was far more than the battle itself. Yongqiu was located at the junction of Dang County and Sanchuan County. It was originally under the Wei State. Li You led his troops to support Zhang Han, who was fighting with the main force of the Chu army in Dingtao, but he did not want to fall into the siege of the Chu army.

Li You's defeat may have exposed the weakness of internal discord in the Qin army. After losing the pillar of the Qin Emperor, the powerful Qin Dynasty had already begun to shatter. Zhang Han, the Shaofu, who represented the power of Zhao Gao, and the border guards Wang Li, Su Jiao, Jianjian, and local county soldiers led by Li You, Yang Xiong and others, not only competed for power and profit in the court, but also in the army.

After four days, from Dingtao to Yongqiu, Zhang Han never sent a single day of his trip from fast horses. Not only that, he also used the excuse of Xiang Liang being the leader of the Chu army to prevent the Sanchuan soldiers, who were originally affiliated with Li You, from returning to the rescue. Zhang Han did not extend a helping hand, so Wang Li's army, located in Zhao's north of the Yellow River, did not lend a helping hand.

It has been nearly a month since Wang Li's army headed south from Jiuyuan. Apart from contacting Liu Bang's troops in Chengyang and Gangli, he has almost never achieved any proud record.

Fusu was sentenced to death and Meng Tian committed suicide. This prominent Qin army elite lost the courage to fight in internal friction. The generals had no fighting spirit and the soldiers were numb and indifferent.

In addition, Yongqiu's defeat opened the doors of Sanchuan County. The anti-Qin coalition forces, which had a sharp rise in the military, could march straight into the south, go to Nanyang, Yingchuan, and cross the river to the west and attack Hedong.

It was precisely because of this level that soon after, Liu Bang adopted the strategy of his adviser Zhang Liang, and went to Nanyang and Hanzhong, and deducted the pass from the south and entered the pass; in Julu in the north, Xiang Yu faced Zhang Han and Wang Li's coalition forces and adopted various strategies to defeat more than 200,000 Qin troops in one fell swoop.

The inertia of history has never changed much because of the appearance of a small figure like Li Yuan. While Li Yuan led his remaining troops to retreat westward, local officials from the twelve counties, including Pingyin, Xin'an, Mianchi, Yangwu, etc., had already begun to flee, which made Li Yuan's uneasy mood relax.

Since his time travel, he was most familiar with military affairs. He had few opportunities to deal with local officials, and he was not very clear about the standards of the local officials of the Qin Dynasty to do things. He was thinking about what aspects he was not exposed. Fortunately, Hou Xi, the secretary-in-chief, was very successful in handling these affairs.

There were more than a hundred Qin cavalry breaking through. Although not many of them, these surviving soldiers were all elite, full of murderous aura, which made people envious. Relying on Li You's name and the elite soldiers at hand, Li Yuan bluntly snatched up and commanded the chaotic soldiers of various counties and counties all the way before Liu Bang's expedition. By the time he arrived at the suburbs of Daliang, the old capital of Wei, Li Yuan's troops had expanded to nearly a thousand people.

August 17th.

Li Yuan held the first military meeting in Junyi City near Daliang to determine the candidates for lower-level officers in the new team. In the method of selecting officers, the Qin army mainly adopted the method of establishing titles and military positions in military merits. Li Yuan did not want to make much changes to this. He just added tests of personal command ability, coordination ability, and language expression ability based on military merits. These tests were checked by him personally and examined one by one.

There is no need to say more about the advantages of military merits. The bravery of the Qin generals on the battlefield has already shown its value. However, if this is used as a method of promotion for officers, it is a bit overwhelming. An excellent officer may not be very good at killing the enemy in battle, but he is very sensitive in commanding and grasping fighter opportunities. Such talents are easily buried under the circumstances of only military merit system. Han Xin is a very obvious example.

"The King of Armour and Soldiers, beheaded Level 12!"

"Zhou Xing, beheaded at level seven!"

"The secretary-in-chief Hou Xi, please recommend it to Sima of the baggage camp!"

"Preserve the flag, Luo armor, please be the cavalry general of the personal military camp!"

Li Yuan served as the chief examiner. After two days of layered evaluation and selection, Wang Laoliu and a total of thirteen others became officers of the Qin army who survived the disaster.

His disappointment with the Qin court, his sympathy for Li Si's imprisonment, Li You's tragic death, and his recognition of Li Yuan's ability made most Qin soldiers recognize this comprehensive method of selecting officers. Military merits are the main ones, but if they are good at other aspects, they also have opportunities. Unconsciously, Li Yuan began to influence other people around him in his own way.

In the subsequent military meeting, in addition to Li Yuan, the main targets of the attendance were: Sima Hou Xi, two Shi chiefs Zhou Xing, Wang Laoliu, two elders Hu Zhuang, Junyi County, and He Ping, Yangwu County, who had just arrived to join the meeting, and the other five selected sergeant leaders were twelve, with Hou Xi as the document recorder. Luo Jia, who had just been appointed as a cavalry general, served as the vigilance work at the meeting venue.

The meeting reached a consensus: agreeing to expand the number of troops to a scale of 1,000 people in one school, and Li Yuan served as the commander of the army, which actually recognized that Li Yuan was the new leader of this army. Zhou Xing, Wang Laoliu and a man named Gan Houbo served as the chief of the division respectively, and Hou Xi served as Sima's part-time clerk and secretary.
