With Wang Lang's departure, the group of dragons in the city who had no leader immediately went into an uproar.

A group of senior generals, officials appointed by Wang Lang after the uprising, local elders, and the head of the underworld sat in a circle around the county, discussing on countermeasures.

Fan Kuai said in a rough voice, "My big brother, Liu Bang, is a snake chopping snake for rebellion, he is the son of the Scarlet Emperor, everyone expects him to be. "There's no need for us to delay any further. Bring him into the city, and we will make him the City Lord's side."

Everyone replied, "General Fan is right. However, Meng Yu, with his jade-like face, made a pact with them and said that he would only be willing to enter the city after killing Wang Lang. Now that Wang Lang has fled, where can we go to find him? "

Fan Kuai bellowed: Who was guarding the city gate, allowing that dog official Wang Lang to slip away so easily? A Bupleurum Chinense Thunb said in a trembling voice, "They are my subordinates. At that time, I could not make up my mind to stop Wang Lang and cause that dog official to escape. " Fan Kuai glared: "Now that the dog officials are gone. "My brother isn't willing to enter the city, what should I do?"

Everyone was at a loss.

Suddenly, someone said: "If only Xiao He was here. He has the best ideas. Let's hear what he has to say. "

Just as they were talking, Xiao He, who had been sneakily escaping, suddenly appeared in front of the door while laughing heartily and shouted loudly: "Hello everyone!"

Xiao He had already arrived. The county magistrate did not stop him even if he saw him. The sinister Xiao He stood outside the door and eavesdropped.

When they saw Xiao He, they were overjoyed and said: "Mr Xiao, it's great that you're back. What do you think we should do? "

Xiao He laughed: What else can I do? Only I, Xiao, have the cheek to rely on my old friendship with the jade-faced Meng to beg him to enter the city. " Everyone wondered, "Jade Face Meng will listen to you?" Xiao He said: "If we do this, no need to worry about our jade-like faces."

As for Liu Bang, after returning to the forest, he asked Lv Zhi with a smile: "My wife, was your husband handsome just now?" Lv Zhi gave him a flirtatious glance, and said in a tender voice: "I've never seen you so handsome before, you're really too handsome." Liu Bang laughed, "When I enter the city, my performance will be even more handsome."

Lv Zhi asked: Liu Ji, Xiao He didn't tell you to kill Wang Lang, why don't you just enter the city? Liu Bang gave a "hmph" sound, "You women only have short hair and experience. If I enter the city like this, then Wang Lang will have a group of trusted aides, and at that time, there will be a massacre. Although the final victory will definitely be ours, but it will cost us our strength. "This is all I have. I don't have many soldiers or horses in Peixian, so I can't afford to go through all this trouble." Lv Zhi suddenly said: "So that's how it is. I was wondering why you suddenly picked up the plate." Liu Bang said complacently: "This is just a moment of creativity for me, it's also good to raise my status as the son of the Scarlet Emperor."

Lv Zhi said: "Aren't you afraid that there will be changes in the city? If you can't become the city lord, wouldn't you be throwing away your fat?" Liu Bang laughed: "I can't lose it."

And he said to them, "Brothers and sisters, you have worked hard, day and night. We'll sleep here, and recover our spirits so we can enter the city. "

Once Liu Bang finished speaking, he took the lead to lie down. Everyone was also exhausted, so they all fell down. Lv Zhi stood at the edge of the forest and looked towards the city.

Not long later, Liu Bang started to snore loudly.

Lv Zhi looked forward to it and waited for the people from the city to come welcome him. They waited and waited, but no one could be seen. She felt uneasy, afraid that there would be a change. After waiting for only six hours, she suddenly heard the sound of gongs and drums ringing out from the Fei County City.

Lv Zhi pushed Liu Bang awake and said: "Hubby, you're here!" Liu Bang stood up and said, "It must be the people from the military who killed Wang Lang and welcomed me." Thus, he woke the crowd up and walked out of the forest to look around.

A line of hundreds of people slowly walked over from the county, and as they approached, they could clearly see everything. At the front of the line were elderly men, all of them over sixty years old. Raising a banner, it read: "Warmly welcome to Jade Face Meng Yu to enter the city!" In the middle of the group was a group of young and strong men. They were beating gongs and beating drums with deafening sounds. At the back of the line was a group of young flower girls, dressed in red, smeared with makeup, waving a small triangular flag with the words "Warmly welcome" written on it.

And that sinister Xiao He, was walking right in front of the group. Liu Bang's bunch of friends — — Fan Kuai, Yong Chi, followed behind him. A stalker, burly man with a full beard, was leading a tall steed by Xiao He's side. It was Xiahou Ying, who had fired the boss.

Xiao He walked in front of Liu Bang, cupped his hands, and said: "General Liu, Xiao He is here with the county's elders, to welcome the general into the city."

"When did I become a general?"

Liu Bang coughed dryly and acted as though he knew nothing: "It's been hard on you all, did you bring the head of the dog official Wang Lang along?" Xiao He shook his head: "No."

Liu Bang gritted his teeth in hatred, "Xiao He, what are you doing, didn't you make me embarrassed?"

But the play had to go on. Liu Bang turned and said: "Since there is no dog officer's head, please go back."

A group of aged elders kneeled on the ground and begged, "It's not that we don't want to kill the dog officials, it's just that he abandoned the city and ran away. There's nowhere for us to look for him now. I hope General Liu will take pity on us, and for the sake of the enthusiasm of my Peixian villagers, he will be our master in the city. "

Seeing the elders who were even older than his father kneeling, Liu Bang could not help but feel embarrassed. But if he agreed to enter the city so easily, it would be a loss to him. He quickly said, "Fellow elders, please get up quickly. I do not pity everyone because I, Liu Bang, have made a promise to everyone. I only entered the city after killing Wang Lang, the dog official.

"You are quite arrogant. Luckily, I have prepared a move." Xiao He thought, with a glance, the group of flower girls at the back surrounded him.

All the girls said in unison, "Please, General Liu, for the sake of us sisters, come into the city and be our Lord."

Seeing such a lady, Liu Bang was immediately stunned. It turned out that this group of people was the prostitute from the brothel in Peixian city. He had been a gangster in Peixian for many years. Many of these gangsters knew him, and many of them were involved with him. He was embarrassed when he saw this scene today.

Xiao He moved closer to Liu Bang and whispered: "Hurry up and agree, if you don't then I'll reveal all the shameful things that happened to you."

General Liu was about to become the master of Peixian. If the romantic affairs of the past were to be announced to the public, wouldn't it ruin his glorious image?

Liu Bang glared at Xiao He: "Old Xiao, I admire you." He turned around and said to everyone, "I, Liu Bang, promise it. Everyone, quickly get up."

When everyone heard this, they were overjoyed and cheered.

Thus, Liu Bang rode on the tall steed brought by Xiahou Ying, with everyone surrounding him, he entered the Pei County County City in high spirits.

The military and civilian in Peixian County ignited firecrackers, welcoming them along the way and not mentioning them.

When they arrived at the county magistrate court, everyone took their seats. Some called him Liu Bang, while others called him Liu Ji. Liu Bang did not think that it was untoward, and gave everyone a warm hug.

On the other hand, Xiao He suggested, "Now that General Liu has become our City Lord, we can't call him by his name like in the past. We have to address him respectfully to General Liu." Everyone said, "What Mister Xiao said is true. May I ask what we call him?" Xiao He said: "Then we shall change the name to 'Liu Bang'! It can be said that he is both the leader of our lands and has the bearing of a noble. " Everyone cheered.

Just as they were talking, Lv Zhi walked in. Liu Bang rolled his eyes: "This is a place where we men discuss big things. What is a woman like you trying to barge into?"

Lv Zhi was furious, her eyebrows knitted together as she said, "Liu Ji, do you want me to come in and listen? You've only just become the city lord, so you've already grown up, no? "

All of Liu Bang's friends at the table tried to persuade his: "Eldest Sister-in-law, please take a seat."

Liu Bang was only pretending to show it to everyone, but seeing that everyone was doing it, he followed the flow and sat Lv Zhi down.

Xiao He said: "Madam Liu, today we gave General Liu a honorific name, called Liu Bang. You must not call him by his first name in the future. "

Lv Zhi replied with an "Oh", "You have given my husband a honorific. From today onwards, what are you calling me?" Fan Kuai teased: "Big brother's name is Liu Bang, elder sister-in-law is naturally called Xiu Niu." Xiao He shouted, "Of course! We want to call you Madam Liu Bang. "

Everyone said, "Exactly."

Liu Bang coughed and said, "I, the Liu Bang, do not have much ink in my stomach, and will have to rely on everyone from now on. I wonder what everyone thinks about the future of our?"

Xiao He said: "In the small land of Peixian, all the strong are eyeing it covetously. If I am unable to strengthen myself, I will be destroyed by others sooner or later. " Fan Kuai said: "Since that's the case, let's attack a few of his counties, occupy his land, and let my brother become the King. We can both be officials, what do we not do?"

Lv Zhi interrupted and asked: "How many soldiers and horses are there in the Pu County?" Fan Kuai was startled when he heard it, and replied: "Right now, there are a large number of soldiers fleeing, adding the few hundred people my brother brought, there are barely 3000."

Liu Bang heard and stood up: "Too little, this number is too little, I don't even have enough men to protect myself, how can I attack others? Xiao He, go and recruit some men. "

Xiao He nodded his head: "Liu Bang is right, Xiao He will go and draft the name list now, and recruit the heroes from all around."

Hence, the original list that Wang Lang had posted in Pai County had all been torn down, and replaced with the "Liu Bang" s list of recruitment. The effect of this change of name was like heaven and earth. Not only did the fleeing soldiers return one by one, but there was an endless stream of young and strong people coming from all the villages to join the army. It was because everyone was willing to follow Liu Bang, the "son of the Scarlet Emperor" who killed the huge snake.

Every day, Liu Bang would wear his fiery red robe and his weirdly shaped crown, welcoming all the heroes present. One person after another passionately hugged him. After days of hugging, only his arms were numb, and even his speech was weak.

The Peixian army, greatly expanded, has gathered eight thousand men.

On this day, a burly man carrying a strong bow and carrying a bag arrived before the county magistrate. Hearing this, Lu Zhi was confused, "I'm just a woman, where did my old acquaintance come from?" He then went out to see what was going on. Upon seeing that person, he was overjoyed. "Benefactor, why is it you!?" "So that person was Zhou Bo.

Zhou Bo said: "Congratulations Madam, your husband has become the lord of this region." Lv Zhi said: "If it wasn't for benefactor, how would I have gotten to where I am today? Benefactor, did you come here to —? " Zhou Bo said: "I have already decided, I will come to submit to Liu Bang and be a lackey."

Lv Zhi said: "Benefactor is too modest, my husband is lacking a talent like you right here. Benefactor just happens to be here. " She then pulled Zhou Bo's sleeves and brought him to see Liu Bang.

Liu Bang heard Lv Zhi speak about Zhou Bo saving his wife, and when he heard about his benefactor's arrival, he thanked him profusely.

Zhou Bo continued: "Today, I even brought a greeting gift for Liu Bang." Liu Bang said "Oh", "What is it?" Zhou Bo opened the package in his hand and a head popped out.

Seeing this, Liu Bang was overjoyed. It turned out that the person was the abandoned city's fleeing Wang Lang. Liu Bang then said: "So it is this dog official, I am about to attack Fang He, and am using this as a sacrifice."

Lv Zhi laughed and asked: "I am your wife's savior, how can you thank me?" Liu Bang laughed and said: "Madam, you can do as you wish." Lv Zhi said: "I see that benefactor is wise and brave, and can be of great use to you, it would not be an exaggeration to be a general."

Liu Bang nodded: "As Madam wishes." They immediately acknowledged Zhou Bo as their general and bestowed him with a helmet and armor.

At this point, Zhou Bo was dead set on following Liu Bang, risking his life to fight.

In a few days, he led his troops to battle, and the first battle was a victory. In the battle, he shot down Fang and the other generals, summoning Europe and bringing down the wind.
