Xiang Liang did not come out in Huiji for several months, not to eat, drink and have fun, but to recruit troops and buy horses, now I heard that Hu Hai sent troops on an expedition, my heart was overjoyed, I wanted to send troops in person, but I never thought that I would wait for the Qin army to come.
Xiang Liang of Huiji County has already sent troops to Xiapi, and there are Long And, Ji Bu and others sitting in the camp tent, Liu Bang is fortunate to be appreciated by Xiang Liang, and Xiang Yu is sitting on Xiang Liang's left and right.
This is also Fan Zeng's strategy, Liu Bang only occupied two county towns and was reused, besides, others, hearing the news, will definitely come to vote, recruiting talents is not only the Qin State, but he Chu State is not bad.
Emperor Chu's bear heart is an ornament, just stay in Huiji, Xiang Liang is in the tent, his heart is very happy, quite excited and said: "Now Chu is a country, the fortune is prosperous, Qi Yan is not enough to fear, only the tyranny Qin, to this day, the hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, but its new monarch is just established, and he actually drove the personal expedition, which can be seen to be young and ignorant." ” Everyone is bowing their heads, Fan Zeng is sixty years old, the most stable, and immediately got up and said: "Prime Minister Qiqi, now you should take Pengcheng, think it is fundamental." ” "The land of Pengcheng, on the side of Surabaya, there is Yishui behind, and dozens of miles of Jushui in front of each other, this is the place to defend the city, it is indisputable, and from Pengcheng, straight to Dingtao, and then through the Wei land, to capture Aocang, but I don't know that Aocang is the granary of Great Qin, Qin lost the granary, as if breaking through Hangu."
When Xiang Liang heard this, he was overjoyed, and immediately ordered someone to present a map and put it in the tent.
However, before he could speak, Xiang Yu hurriedly asked, "Will Wei Han really borrow it?"
” Seeing this, Fan Zeng smiled knowingly, "Of course not, but if you capture Dingtao, you may have to borrow the way, you and Pei Gong can divide the troops into two ways, take Sichuan County, and determine the geographical advantage of the Chu State, so Han Wei Zhao is hindered by the majesty of the Chu State, and he will inevitably borrow the way!"
” "What should the Lingbi Qin army be?"
Liu Bang then asked.
Xiang Liang immediately waved his hand, "Pei Gong don't have to worry, you go to Sichuan County, the old man will personally take Pengcheng, and then fight with the Qin army Lingbi, when the Qin army retreats, we will fight the Tao in three ways!"
” "In this way, only Meng Tian is left in the Qin army, so there is nothing to worry about."
The generals discussed and agreed, and Xiang Liang led 50,000 soldiers and horses to Pengcheng, and Pei Gong and Xiang Ji each led 5,000 soldiers and horses and their own subordinates to take Sacheon County.
The Qin army had a total of 150,000 horses, Meng Tian led 20,000 cavalry, 30,000 torture foot soldiers, Zhang Han transferred 30,000 troops, Li You recruited 10,000 troops, Lantian battalion garrison 50,000 soldiers, and the rest of the soldiers and horses guarded various places in case of chaos.
Let's say that Xiang Liang led 50,000 troops, followed by Fan Zeng and Ji Bu, and crossed Surabaya and went straight to Pengcheng, Pengcheng was originally in danger, with Qi Chu on top and Han Wei on the bottom.
Pengcheng guard general name Peng Zhong, often called himself Peng Yue, tall and burly, fierce, thirty years old, very chic, although the land of Pengcheng belongs to the edge of Surabaya County, the Warring States period belonged to the border of Chu State.
However, Peng Yue is a good person, he is a Wei person, so he occupies Pengcheng, calls himself a Wei general, and does not dare to usurp the throne, only 5,000 troops, and sticks to Pengcheng.
Now I heard that Chu will Xiang Liang to attack, it seems that he is not in chaos, in the county government in the city, Peng Yue and his friend Luan Bu sit opposite each other, Luan Bu is public, known as the ancient Mi Yuan.
The two sat down and drank a few glasses, Peng Yue finally couldn't hold back the anxiety in his heart, and said with some melancholy: "Now that Chu Tun's soldiers are going down, they want Pengcheng, what should they do?"
” Luan Bu didn't seem surprised, but said indifferently: "Why should the general worry, either defend or flee, or flee after holding on." ” "Can't you just surrender?"
Peng Yue frowned slightly.
Luan Bu immediately put down the wine glass and sighed helplessly, "Why does the general have this intention?"
You are the general, the lord of Pengcheng, if you surrender to the Chu generals, you will be laughed at and generous by the world, if you are captured, your life will not be guaranteed, and the Chu generals will definitely go south to Lingbi to fight with Qin, and the general will be beheaded to strengthen the army. ” Peng Yue said with some suspicion: "General Chu shouldn't act like this, right?"
” "Humph!
No?
I think the general thinks a little too highly of Xiang Liang, how did he raise troops in the first place?
Didn't the general know anything about it?
He killed his friend Yin Tong and plundered his family property!
” "It's not rude, compared with Yin Tong, what is the friendship between the general and Yin Tong?
Will it save your life?
Luan Bu said with some disdain.
Peng Yue also suddenly realized, "It seems that Xiang Liang is pretending to be a gentleman, in this case, stick to this city first, but the Chu army is 50,000, naturally it is difficult to fight, where should I go to?"
” Seeing this, Luan Bu said very bluntly: "The general is originally a Wei person, but he can defect to the Wei State, if that Wei is not qualified for the throne, the general can replace him." ” The house was silent for a while, and after a long time, Peng Yue said: "The words of the virtuous brother are very much in line with my wishes. ” In the same month, Chu general Xiang Liang led 50,000 troops, crossed Yishui, and directly camped in Wuli outside Pengcheng, and did not attack rashly, but prepared to recuperate for three days, and then tried to win.
Ji Bu was a strategist, and when he heard that Xiang Liang was going to storm Pengcheng, he felt inappropriate, so he went to the front camp late at night to visit Xiang Liang, and at this moment Fan Zeng was also planning a strategy for him.
Xiang Liang saw Ji Bu coming in, and immediately prepared tea, "The general is not in the back camp, why did he come late at night?"
” Ji Bu didn't ink at all, and asked directly to the point: "The general wants to attack?"
The losses will be heavy. ” Xiang Liang didn't speak, but looked at Fan Zeng on the side, "Mr.
Fan, how is Ji Bu's words?"
” "It's reasonable, but it's hard to do, Peng Yue is a chivalrous demeanor, and he will definitely not surrender, otherwise, why don't we see Peng Cheng coming here for two days."
Fan Zeng said seriously.
Ji Bu frowned slightly, "What the old gentleman said is not appropriate, maybe Peng Yue pays attention to his reputation and is unwilling to bend down, and now the prime minister sends someone to lobby, it may not be impossible, it only takes one day, and the last general is willing to go." ” The argument between the two made Xiang Liang hesitate in his heart, so he said casually: "And as Ji Bu said, it only takes one day, if you don't surrender, you will attack the city directly!"
” Fan Zeng is also the head of the jaw, and it is not impossible to let him say surrender, after all, Pengcheng is strategically located, and it can be used as the capital of Chu State if it is captured, and it is also a waste of resources to repair after the war.
In the early morning of the next day, the sky was slightly bright, Ji Bu wore Chu clothes, and took several envoys to Pengcheng with money, after all, there was only one day, and the reason made the best sense, and if it didn't make sense, forget it.
And Peng Yue heard that the Chu envoy was coming, and he didn't dare to slack off, although it was a chaotic world, etiquette should exist, in the hall, Ji Bu behaved calmly, slowly stepped forward, and immediately bowed down and saluted: "The Chu envoy visited the general, and he came today to explain the interests of the general, and I hope the general will listen quietly." ” "Sir, please take a seat, but it doesn't hurt to speak, I am a puppet, I am willing to listen to Mr.
Professor, and prepare tea and give a seat left and right!"
Peng Yue's complexion was good, and he said quite loudly.
