陈留 / Chenliu

陈留 / Chenliu enters the wiki through Qinji 136 as the strategic hub 郦食其 tells 刘邦 to take before moving deeper toward Qin. The episode stresses its route value and stored grain, weapons, and manpower rather than treating it as a minor stop.

Li Shiqi first tries to persuade Chenliu’s local head to surrender through personal familiarity. When that fails, he kills the local head at night and gives Liu Bang an opening. Liu Bang then uses the severed-head display to induce the city to open, turning Chenliu into a hard case of 招降示范级联 mixed with coercion and betrayal.

After entering Chenliu, Liu Bang distributes stored weapons and grain, stays for nearly three months, and recruits tens of thousands of soldiers. The city therefore marks the logistical bridge between his earlier smaller rebel line and his more credible westward campaign under 怀王之约.
