Chu and Han contend for the throne

Chapter 110 Chess Pieces
In fact, Xiang Zhuang's worries were completely unnecessary. At this time, Liu Bang was busy appeasing Peng Yue.

Although Liu Bang had already stated that he would make Peng Yue King of Chu, and that he would grant Peng Yue seven of the nine counties in West Chu, Peng Yue also showed enough respect and obedience to Liu Bang, but Peng Yue's assassination in Beiman Mountain was not a trivial matter after all. And it also involved Liu Bang's wife and brother Lu Ze, so Liu Bang had to give Peng Yue an explanation.

At this time, Liu Bang is investigating the Beimanshan assassination incident.

In order to find out this matter, Liu Bang even ignored the Chen Xi rebels who broke out from Aocang.

Of course, this is also the reason why Liu Bang didn't pay attention to Chen Xi's tens of thousands of mobs, because Lu Ze told him that five thousand soldiers and horses had been transferred from Luoyang to guard against Hulao Pass, so Chen Xi's tens of thousands of mobs were not It may threaten Sanchuan County, let alone Guanzhong, at most they will flee south to loot Hengshan or Linjiang.

This is something Liu Bang can't wait for, and then he will have an excuse to go to Linjiang or Hengshan to suppress the rebellion.

As for the news that Luoyang was captured by the Chu army, due to the full blockade of the Chu army's scouts, and the fact that the passage through Hulao Pass has been blocked, it has not been spread at all now, and Lu Tai is still waiting at this time. Looking for the way down the mountain in the high mountains of Songshan Mountains, I couldn't fly to Ao Cang in a hurry.

Therefore, Liu Bang was still ignorant of the changes in Sanchuan County.

Liu Bang asked Lu Ze repeatedly last night to confirm that Lu Ze did not send anyone to invite Peng Yue to hunt in Beiman Mountain, let alone send troops to set up an ambush in Beiman Mountain. Chen Ping asserted at that time that this must be Kuai Che's conspiracy. What is the truth, let Lu Ze and Kuai Che have a face-to-face confrontation tomorrow and it will be clear.

Early the next morning, Liu Bang took Lu Ze and Chen Ping into the Liang Army camp.

I have to say that Liu Bang is still very good at playing tricks. He had already entered the Liang camp alone once yesterday morning. He didn't want to enter the Liang camp alone again this morning. You must know that Peng Yue is not his subordinate. , but the princes and kings who are equal to him, if Peng Yue has a different heart, or listens to Kuai Che's greedy words, wouldn't he be throwing himself at the end of his life?

But Liu Bang just went, and only brought Lu Ze and Chen Ping, not even a single guard accompanying him.

Historically, Liu Bang did the same thing. He entered Han Xin's camp alone twice, and even seized Han Xin's military power face to face. Deny, Liu Bang has a personality charm that the other princes do not have, so Han Xin will say convincingly that Liu Bang can general, but he himself can only general.

Peng Yue was having breakfast, and when he heard that Liu Bang had entered the camp with only Lu Ze and Chen Ping, he hurried out of the tent and stood on the left side of the road to meet him.

After entering the big tent, Liu Bang took the seat as chief bluntly, and Peng Yue was not at all unhappy about it, so he happily sat on Liu Bang's lower right chief. Lu Ze and Chen Ping also took their seats at the lower left.

Liu Bang said directly: "King Liang, the widow of the Beimang Mountain case has already asked Lu Ze, and he said that he did not send anyone to invite you to hunt in Beiman Mountain. I wonder who told you about it at that time?"

"It's Kuai Che." Peng Yue said without thinking, "Xiao Wang called Kuai Che here."

After all, Peng Yue called Peng Ming in again and told him to go to Kuai Che to confront him.

Peng Ming took the order, and about half an hour later, Peng Ming came back with a frown, and reported to Peng Yue: "Uncle, Kuai Che is not in his tent. My nephew asked the left and right waiters, and they all said Kuai Che After going out last night, he never came back, and my nephew sent people to search the entire camp, but there was still no sign of him."

"Kai Che didn't come back all night?" Peng Yue asked in amazement, "Why did he go?"

Peng Ming hesitated for a while, and finally said bluntly: "Uncle, I'm afraid Kuai Che ran away."

"What, ran away? So he really arranged the assassination in Beimang Mountain?" Peng Yue was not stupid, he immediately understood the key point, bowed to Lu Ze immediately, and said apologetically, "Lu Ze My lord, I didn't notice for a while, and fell into Kuai Che's tricks, and I wrongly blamed you, I really can't help you."

Lu Ze waved his hand and said calmly: "There is no need to mention the past."

Lu Ze doesn't have such capacity. Anyway, the scuffle the night before yesterday resulted in the death of more than 2000 soldiers of the Han army on the spot, and more than 8000 people were seriously injured. "I can't help you" can be exposed, but this is Liu Bang's meaning, and Lu Ze can only bear it.

Chen Ping, who was sitting at the bottom of Lu Ze, suddenly said, "King Liang, Kuai Che is just a strategist, I'm afraid he can't even mobilize a single soldier? Then where did the ambush soldiers who assassinated the king come from in Beiman Mountain?" ?”

"That's right, where did the ambush soldiers in Beiman Mountain come from?" Peng Yue understood a little bit as he spoke. Even if Kuai Che had the intention to assassinate, he was powerless because he had no soldiers under his command. The others cooperated, and now Peng Yue turned his attention to Peng Ming again, and said, "Go, call all the generals and guest officials to the camp."

Peng Ming took the order to go, and after a short time, the generals of the various armies arrived one after another, and several guest officials under Peng Yue's command also came. Only Tian Heng was not in the camp because he was ordered by Peng Yue to go to Dang County to collect food. At that moment, Peng Yue ordered Peng Ming again: "Send flying cavalry immediately to Dang County to find Tian Heng!"

Besides, Xiang Zhuang led the Chu army halfway, and saw a huge convoy approaching from a distance.

This convoy consisted of five or six hundred ox carts, each of which was filled with large earthen vats, which looked very heavy, and I didn't know what was inside, but it was Qin Yu's female soldiers who escorted them Tuen.

Xiang Zhuang was in shock, but Wei Liao galloped up to him.

"Military Master, why are you here?" Xiang Zhuang asked in amazement, "Luoyang..."

"Luoyang is fine, with Generals Huan Chu, Ji Bu, and Xiao Kai here, it will definitely be fine." Wei Liao waved his hands, stroked his long beard, and said with a smile, "General, you are probably in the tiger prison Has something difficult happened to Guan?"

"The military adviser is really good at predicting things." Xiang Zhuang gave Wei Liao a thumbs up, and said, "Chen Xi has an idea."

"This is also expected." Wei Liao said calmly, "Now the general has less than [-] troops, but Chen Xi has a full [-] troops. If he has no idea, it is not in line with common sense."

At that moment, the two of them rode their horses to the side of the road while talking, until there was no one around, Wei Liao said: "General, can you get rid of Chen Xi, it all falls on these 500+ carts of wine and meat."

Xiang Zhuang's eyes lit up in an instant, and he said in a concentrated voice: "The military division is saying..."

Wei Liao stroked his long beard and said with a smile, "General, what do you think?"

Xiang Zhuang nodded, and said again: "Just in what name are you sending it to the customs? Chen Xi can't be fooled."

Wei Liao smiled and said: "Before Aocang divided his forces, the general had already buried a chess piece? Now, it's time for this chess piece to play its role." After saying this, Wei Liao closed it again With a smile, he said solemnly, "General, it is indeed too cruel for Her Royal Highness to do this, but there is nothing you can do about it."

Xiang Zhuang nodded silently, doing this was indeed cruel to Wei Yue Wuyang, a subjugated daughter, but on the other hand, it was also for the good of Wei, otherwise, once Chu Jun and Wei Jun really fought, Chu Junbing Of course, it is not good to ask for less. Although the Wei army has many soldiers, it will eventually be wiped out and blood will flow like a river.

Sighing lightly, Xiang Zhuang asked again: "Is she here?"

"His Royal Highness has come." Wei Liao said, "It's over there."

"I'll go and talk to her." After Xiang Zhuang finished speaking, he rode away.

Wei Liao moved his lips, as if he wanted to tell Xiang Zhuang a few words, but he couldn't say it.

Xiang Zhuang seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, he reined in his horse and turned around, and said to Wei Liao, "Don't worry, military commander, I will never be kind to a woman." and go.

Watching Xiang Zhuang's figure go away, Wei Liao smiled faintly.

A general will be decisive when he is decisive, he will be killed when he should be killed, he will never act in a muddy manner, he will never be soft when he should be cruel, and he will never be merciful when he should be cruel. This is the demeanor of a person who achieves great things!Wei Liao couldn't help but compare Xiang Zhuang with Qin Wangzheng again. Compared with Qin Wangzheng when he was young, Xiang Zhuang was equally cruel, but he was much tougher and seven points more heroic.

At Hulao Pass, Chen Xi was reviewing his army on the school field.

There were originally 5000 Han troops at Hulao Pass, of which more than [-] died in battle and more than [-] were captured. Although these [-] Han prisoners were taken away by the Chu army, their armor and weapons remained. In addition to the stockpiling of some weapons in the arsenal at Hulao Pass, Chen Xi's army obtained nearly [-] pairs of cloth armor, leather armor, and even iron armor, as well as nearly [-] weapons.

Chen Xi armed his central army with 6000 men, while Hou Chang's and Zhang Chun's front and rear armies each armed with 2000 men.

Now, these [-] well-armed elite soldiers are standing in line on the school field. Surrounded by Hou Chang, Zhang Chun and other generals, Chen Xi is patrolling the whole army. He couldn't help but feel great pride in his heart. With this elite army, he no longer has to be afraid of Xiangzhuang and Chu's troops.

When Chen Xi was full of self-satisfaction, a soldier came to report in a hurry: "General, Your Royal Highness has brought five or six hundred ox carts of wine and food to lock up the labor force."

Hou Chang, Zhang Chun and other generals were overjoyed when they heard the words. Although Her Royal Highness married Xiang Zhuang, her heart was still towards Wei.

Chen Xi was even more joyful. Compared with the food and drink of five or six hundred ox carts, he cared more about Her Highness the Princess herself. He was thinking of sharing the joy at this time with others, but Her Royal Highness arrived right away. What a god. What a beauty.

However, Chen Xi was not overwhelmed by the joy, and asked again: "How many followers does Her Royal Highness have?"

The soldier said: "His Royal Highness has only a hundred female soldiers accompanying her to protect her, and there are hundreds of old men driving in addition."

Only then did Chen Xi feel relieved, and looked around at Hou Chang, Zhang Chun and other generals and said, "Generals, let me go out of the customs with this general and welcome Her Highness the Princess!"
