Rebirth of Han Xin and Xiang Yu

After a few days, the personal guard reported back, "Your Majesty, the price of food in the market in Chu State has more than doubled."

Peng Yue waved his hand to repel the guards, secretly proud, "Hmph, Xiang Yu, you think you are smart enough to avoid me, but in fact your food loss is not much less. Even if Qi State helps you with food, how long can you last?" ? Besides, now that Qi Di and Tian Heng are in rebellion, Qi is too busy to take care of itself..."

Sure enough, a few days later, the scouts came to report, "Your Majesty, this time Chu's army rations are gathering in Pengcheng."

Peng Yue laughed "hahaha" for a while, then stopped laughing and asked: "Who is the Chu army escorting the grain and grass this time?"

The scout said: "This time the Chu army escorted the grain and grass with two generals, besides Zhong Limei, there is also Ji Bu."

Ji Bu, a native of Chu, was a famous knight and a brave general of the Chu army.He is very arrogant, loves to fight against injustice, and is very committed to promises, so there is a proverb in Chu State, "It is better to get Jibu Yinuo to get a hundred catties of gold."

Naturally, Peng Yue had heard of Ji Bu's name before, so he couldn't help but sneered, "This time, Xiang Yu used all his strength to ensure the smooth delivery of food."

The general Hu Zhe said from the side: "Your Majesty, the general estimates that the Chu army will be very guarded this time. So, are we going to rob food this time?"

Peng Yue said: "Go, of course. Even if the Chu army is well protected, there may not be no place to attack." In fact, this is not only Liu Bang's letter urging him so urgently; more importantly, the current situation is also He couldn't help but not go. After all, if the Chu army had enough food, the siege would inevitably increase, which would be a great threat to Xingyang. If Liu Bang was defeated, he would also be defeated.

In addition, after the Chu army set off from Pengcheng to transport grain this time, Peng Yue spread scouts and eyeliners to closely monitor the movements of the Chu army.One day scouts came to report that the Chu army had entered the boundary of Suiyang and camped to rest.Peng Yue asked one by one the specific situation of the Chu army's encampment, and couldn't help sneering slightly.

Hu Zhe said: "Your Majesty, are you going to rob the camp tonight?"

Peng Yue waved his hand and said, "No, it's not yet time." According to the report of the scouts, the strength of the Chu army this time is almost one and a half times that of before, led by two generals, Zhong Limei and Ji Bu. The specific camping site chosen is flat and flat, and there is no shelter.According to reports, the Chu army also cut down several miles of trees around the camp, leaving no cover for possible ambush.

Even so, Peng Yue was not in a hurry. The so-called embankment and vigor, in fact, like courage, gradually decayed.Cao GUI said it well back then: "A man fights with courage. If he fights hard, he will fail again, and then he will be exhausted." The Chu army is now in full swing, and its defenses are very strict.However, as the Chu army marched westward to the Waihuang area, they were not only very tired from transporting food and marching, they were divided into two shifts at night to prevent themselves from robbing food, and they were even more tired.When their vigor wears off and the soldiers are exhausted, it will be a good opportunity for them to make a move.

What's more, from Suiyang to Waihuang, the terrain is not all flat, there are always places that the Chu army cannot defend against.Thinking of this, Peng Yue couldn't help but sneered, and ordered the scouts to continue to closely monitor the movements of the Chu army.

Let's say that Zhong Limei and Ji Bu led their troops westward from Suiyang all the way, seeing that they were about to leave the boundary of Waihuang, and it was getting late, they looked at each other, and they both saw vigilance in each other's eyes.If Peng Yue wanted to come to rob food, it would probably be tonight.

The two cheered up and ordered the camp to be set up, and as usual, ordered the soldiers to cut down the trees around the camp.That night, the Chu army was divided into two squads, which were arranged to be handed over at Choushi. All of them worked hard and watched closely for any movement outside the camp.

However, one night passed, except for a few owls that came out to look for food at night, only a few howling wolves were heard in the forest a few miles away.Liang Jun didn't even see half a person.

The east has gradually revealed the white belly of a fish.In the sky, half of the waning moon is still faintly visible, but presumably with the gushing red sun, the waning moon will soon disappear.

Last night, it was Zhong Limei who was on duty in the middle of the night. He couldn't help yawning several times and scolded: "Fuck, it seems that this old boy Peng Yue is timid when he sees our army's security is tight, so he dare not come. The first two days Didn't he dare to come when he was transporting grain to the south?"

Ji Bu persuaded: "General Zhongli is still on the edge of Waihuang, you should be careful when marching during the day."

Zhong Limei curled his lips and said, "Okay, I'll just listen to you and be careful. It's just that I'm really sleepy, so I'm going to take a nap right away."

After breakfast, the Chu army got up and continued to march westward.Although Zhong Limei was dozing off on the horse, he didn't dare to fall asleep, and kept his ears open, paying attention to the movement around him.Ji Bu opened his eyes even wider, observing his surroundings carefully and taking precautions.

However, after walking for more than thirty miles that day, Liang Jun and Peng Yue were still nowhere to be seen.At this time, the Chu army had already left the Waihuang territory, Zhong Limei and Ji Bu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.According to past experience, Peng Yue was cautious and did not dare to fight beyond his sphere of influence.

Suddenly seeing smoke billowing in front of him, a flying cavalry came from the west, dressed in the uniform of a Chu army, galloped all the way to Zhong Limei, got off his horse, took out a silk book from his bosom, put it up with both hands, and said: "General Zhongli, Your Majesty letter."

Zhong Limei was very surprised, and took the silk book, the wax varnish on the silk book was intact, and it was stamped with Xiang Yu's seal.He hurriedly opened it to see that it was Xiang Yu's own handwriting.He read it hastily, then handed the letter to Ji Bu who was beside him.After reading the letter, Ji Bu and Zhong Limei looked at each other.Zhong Limei ordered the messenger, saying: "I already know, and I will definitely follow the order. You have had a hard journey, go down and rest first."

After walking for about five miles, it was getting late, Zhongli reined in his horse, and saw that the land was flat, and there was a small forest about one mile away. He took out the letter, read it carefully, and said, "Let's camp here."

Seeing the clear stream, Ji Bu nodded and said, "Okay, this is a good place to camp."

At that moment, the Chu army stopped marching and set up camp on the spot.Just after dinner, many soldiers of the Chu Army had no time to wash up, so they staggered and fell asleep on the spot.Zhong Limei also yawned a few times, thinking to himself, "It's not their fault, the whole army is exhausted after traveling all the way, especially the line from Suiyang to Waihuang, divided into two shifts at night to keep watch." , For several nights in a row, the soldiers did not get enough sleep."

But Ji Bu came over and said: "General Zhongli, although he has left Waihuang now, there is no need to divide into two shifts, but we still need to watch the night with a small team."

Zhong Limei nodded and said: "That's exactly the case, there is no big mistake in being cautious."

When Zhong Limei and Ji Bu looked at each other and smiled, the assignment was completed. After a while, it was completely dark, and the whole army soon fell asleep, only the sound of snoring was heard one after another, and most of the lights in the tents had been turned off, only counting the lights. The fire swayed gently with the night wind in the darkness.

ugly time.

Peng Yue led a team of fine cavalry, quietly dormant in the darkness, as if blending into the night.Directly opposite is the Chu Camp not far away.

Peng Yue sneered slightly, and thought to himself: "Do you think that I will not go out to fight in Huang before, and this time I will do the same? Hehe, you know, the art of war says, 'Surprise, surprise.'" This timing, this place, is exactly what he carefully planned Selected.

The Chu army must be the most cautious when they are in Suiyang and Waihuang. After going out of Waihuang, they will be the most exhausted and relaxed in spirit and physical strength.And he also happened to know that after going out, the terrain changed a little, not only there were low hills, but also small forests.Coincidentally, the Chu army chose a location that was conducive to a sneak attack this time because they were slack and careless this time!

At Peng Yue's order, thousands of rockets flew towards Chu Ying.The rocket landed on the camp tent and ignited blazingly. Peng Yue laughed loudly and rushed into Chu camp first.

As soon as he rushed into the Chu army's camp, Peng Yue's heart suddenly trembled. According to his past experience, at this time, if the enemy soldiers were awakened in their sleep, at least there would be commotion, and it would never be as quiet as it is now.

"Back, back quickly!" Peng Yue reined in his horse and shouted, but he saw the surrounding of the camp of Chu camp lit up, thousands of torches were lit, and at the brightest spot of the torches, two generals stood side by side in bridles. Jibu.

Zhong Lihao laughed loudly and said: "Haha, Peng Yue, you fell for the trap this time! Hahahaha."

Although Peng Yue was a little surprised, but his heart was not disturbed, he immediately turned his horse's head and wanted to run towards the way he came. He had just run a few steps when suddenly thousands of torches were lit on the way he came, illuminating the camp like daylight.Under the reflection of the fire, the gold characters embroidered on the two flags were so dazzling that people couldn't open their eyes. They were a "Qi" character and a "Han" character respectively.

Seeing these two flags, it was like a basin of cold water poured down on his head. Peng Yue's heart, which was still determined, suddenly panicked.He couldn't believe his eyes, and hurriedly looked down the banner, and saw a young man wearing battle armor and riding a yellow hussar under the banner. The red tassel on the helmet was bright red, which made the man's face even stronger His hair is handsome and fair, and he looks quite heroic. This person is not Qi Wang Han Xin, but who is he?

Peng Yue couldn't help muttering: "Han Xin, why are you here?" An overwhelming regret welled up in his heart.If it is said that on the current battlefield, the only person who makes him afraid and feels that the use of troops is unpredictable is Han Xin.Although Xiang Yu is brave and good at light cavalry raids, Peng Yue's principle has always been "run away if you can't beat him". Although he was defeated by Xiang Yu several times, he was able to escape with his life every time.

He always thought that Han Xin was leading troops in Qi to suppress the rebellion. If he had known that he was in Chu State, he would not come out to rob food no matter how much Liu Bang urged him.

Han Xin smiled lightly, and said: "You didn't expect that?" He suddenly suppressed his smile, and said softly: "Pass on my order, punish those who kill Peng Yue, reward thousands of gold, and seal ten thousand households as marquises!"
