Han Dang is stronger

Chapter 341

"... General Peng, Yue Xingren, you can't believe it when you say it. In fact, among the first people to follow our Highness the King of Han, apart from the Xiang family brothers of the King of Han, there is also General Feng Zhongfeng, the villain Wei Shan He has the oldest qualifications! Not only did the villain personally participate in His Royal Highness’s army, but he also helped the King to wipe out the bandits in Maling Mountain before he raised his troops, and made great achievements for the King of Han! On the right cheek of our King of Han That inconspicuous scar was also caused by personally fighting the bandits that time."

"...It's just that later, Lord Wu Xin of Chu State incorporated our original army of the King of Han, and divided the young commander's army into three, and the villain happened to be assigned to Feng Zhong's army, and followed Feng Zhong's orders directly. Under the command of Lord Wuxin of the Chu State, the villain was forced to leave the army under the command of His Royal Highness the King of Han. But the villain can swear to God, the villain has always been loyal to His Royal Highness, and he never dared His Royal Highness to treat Xiao It is the kindness of people who know, meet, and help each other. So this time Feng Zhong secretly arranged for a small envoy to test your reality, whether it is worth joining hands with you, and the villain did not refuse a word, and immediately agreed..."

Listening carefully to Wei Shan's somewhat exaggerated self-introduction, Peng Yue suddenly spoke, interrupted Wei Shan and asked, "Wait, you said you were sent by Feng Zhong? So you came to join us with his marching map , actually came from his arrangement?"

"General Peng Mingjian, that is indeed the case." Wei Shan hurriedly replied: "Now you are not afraid to let General Peng know the truth. In fact, General Feng Zhong and our Highness the King of Han have always been like brothers and sisters. I have never forgotten His Royal Highness's support and support to him, and his brotherly relationship with His Royal Highness. He has long wanted to betray the Western Chu army and return to our Highness Han, but it is difficult to do it alone. General Feng's The army has been stationed in the rear of Pengcheng, which is far from the front line, and there is no chance to change its flag anyway, so it has never dared to take any action."

"So this time, taking this opportunity, he let the villain deliberately violate the military law, take the opportunity to escape from the Western Chu army, pretend to join you, and take the opportunity to find out for him, General Peng, whether you are from our King of Han, and then represent him. Discuss with you about joining forces."

After all, Wei Shan, who had already grown a lot, hurriedly pleaded guilty to Peng Yue and the others, saying: "General Peng, Yue Xingren, because I didn't know your details before, I was worried that you were just bluffing under the banner of King Han. Ordinary robbers, if they failed to cooperate, they harmed our General Feng, so I didn't dare to tell you the truth as soon as we met, and I ask you to forgive the deceit."

"It's okay, you don't know our details, it's human nature to be careful." Peng Yue waved his hand generously, and asked again: "Since Feng Zhong intends to betray the Western Chu army, he sent you to find out who we are. It is not the army of the King of Han, so how do you plan to join forces with us?"

"General Feng hopes to join forces with you to march into Pengcheng, to take down the capital of the Western Chu bandit army, and to take the opportunity to rescue the wife and son of our King of Han, and protect them back to our King of Han."

Wei Shan's answer made both Peng Yue and Yue Yan gasp, and then Wei Shan quickly added: "Don't worry, General Peng, we, General Feng, also have a certain understanding of the situation of your army, and we know that only with your strength alone It is absolutely impossible to win the capital of Western Chu, but with the help of our General Feng, we can defeat the bandit army of Western Chu in Pengcheng and take Pengcheng with at least [-]% certainty."

"So please, General Peng, believe in the sincerity of General Feng Zhong anyway, and cooperate with us, and don't go further north, taking advantage of the opportunity that the army in the hinterland of Western Chu has been almost emptied, go south to Pengcheng, and join us with Feng Zhong. The general teamed up to rescue the wife and son of the King of Han, as well as the parents, wives and children of the important ministers under the King of Han."

Hearing this, Peng Yue, Yue Yan and the others were of course both excited and excited, but it is human nature, the matter is related to the life and death of Peng Yue's army, of course Peng Yue did not dare to easily believe Wei Shan's one-sided words, but Wei Shan took advantage of it. He struck the iron hot, and took out Feng Zhong's autographed letter to Peng Yue from the interlayer of the common people's clothes he wore at the beginning, presented it to Peng Yue in a precious and important way, and said, "General Peng, our General Feng is the letter of his whole family. I have entrusted my life to you, as long as there is even a little bit of news about this letter, our General Feng will definitely die, not to mention his wife and children in Pengcheng will also die."

Carefully took Feng Zhong's letter and read it carefully, seeing that the content of Feng Zhong's letter was similar to Wei Shan's oral introduction, and he even took the risk of stamping Feng Zhong's official seal of Western Chu on the letter, Peng Yue believed it a third more, But still the same sentence, the matter was related to the life and death of Peng Yuejun, and he didn't know enough about Feng Zhong, Peng Yue still didn't dare to be careless and credulous, he thought for a while before saying: "Brother Wei Shan, it's not that I don't believe in your sincerity, it's The matter is really too involved, I have to be careful. How about this, you go back and tell General Feng Zhong, as long as he promises me one thing, I will believe that he really wants to change the flag anyway, so feel free to cooperate with him and take Pengcheng together. "

"Please tell me, General Peng, as long as we can do it, we must do it with all our strength." Wei Shan quickly replied.

"It's not a difficult task for you." Peng Yue replied, "Don't you want to join forces with us to take Pengcheng? Well, as long as you tell Feng Zhong to slow down the pursuit, let us cross Surabaya first. I took Liu County in the south of Pei County to replenish food and grass in two days, so I trusted him."

The conditions proposed by Peng Yue were actually quite cautious. Feng Zhong was asked to slow down his pursuit. In addition to giving the exhausted Peng Yue army time to take a breather, when they went south to attack Liuxian, even if Feng Zhong repented and cheated, or Xiang Sheng and Xiang it never Pengcheng led his army northward, and Peng Yue's army had enough time and space to flee to other places, so as not to fall into the enemy's trap.

However, Peng Yue was surprised. After listening to Peng Yue's condition, Wei Shan immediately laughed and said, "General Peng, it turned out to be such a trivial matter. Don't worry, General. You don't need the villain to risk going back and tell General Feng the situation. You just need to worry about it." Don't worry, cross the south of the river here in Huling, and then leave some troops at the Surabaya ferry to pretend to block General Feng from crossing the river. General Feng will never rush to cross Surabaya. , he will cross the river and chase you again."

"Really?" Peng Yue asked doubtfully.

"Of course it's true." Wei Shan smiled and said, "General Peng, don't mind if you say something offensive. You are good at marching quickly. We, General Feng, are not far behind in this aspect. If we weren't under General Feng on purpose Be merciful, I don't want to really chase you, I have already caught up with you these few days. So as long as you leave an army at the ferry to pretend, General Feng will not rush to cross the river, but will wait for you on purpose Go far and then send troops to chase."

Peng Yue was skeptical, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "Well, I will trust you for the time being, but for the sake of caution, Brother Wei, you should go back and tell General Feng the situation first. It opened the way for us to enter Pengcheng, and it also took on the important task of contacting General Feng for us to cooperate with us."

Wei Shan agreed without hesitation, and now Peng Yue hastily agreed on the contact method with Wei Shan, leaving Wei Shan in Huling to wait for Feng Zhong's pursuers, then resolutely changed his plan to go north, and organized an army to cross Surabaya in Huling, risking a lot At the risk of going south to Liu County, at the same time Hu Zhe led [-] troops to guard the Huling Ferry, pretending to intercept Feng Zhong from crossing the river, and came south cautiously.

Two days later, Peng Yue's army, who was good at fleeing, went south to the city of Liu County, which was only about a hundred miles away from Pengcheng. After confirming that Hu Zhe had not sent anyone to send an urgent report, Peng Yue's army, who had consumed too much food and grass on the way, did not dare to neglect , Immediately launched an attack on the small town of Liuxian County, and because there were only a few hundred guards in Liuxian County, Peng Yue's army took only half a day to easily take down the small town of Liuxian County, and seized a batch of military supplies to supplement the military.

It turned out that it was at this time that Hu Zhe, who was staying behind at Huling Ferry, sent someone to send a message, saying that after Feng Zhongjun arrived at Huling Ferry, he did not rush to launch an attack on the ferry, but chose to send people to collect the ferry boats upstream and downstream. At the same time, scouts were dispatched to continuously investigate the situation behind the soldiers. It was only when the soldiers voluntarily gave up the ferry and went south two days later that Feng Zhongjun crossed Surabaya and went south.Of course, Peng Yue and Yue Yu were overjoyed when they heard the news, and Yue Yu couldn't wait to say: "It seems that this matter can't be faked, we can rest assured that we can cooperate with Feng Zhong."

"Don't get too excited." Peng Yue was still very careful, and said, "In addition to guarding against Feng Zhong's long-term fishing for big fish, we also have to carefully consider how to join forces with him to take down Pengcheng. To win Pengcheng, we still have to consider the next step of retreat, and only by being careful can we sail for ten thousand years."

After pondering for a long time, Peng Yue made up his mind and said, "How about this, call Hu Zhe back first, then we will march into Xiao County, cross Gushui from Xiao County, and finally go east to Pengcheng. In addition, tell Feng Zhong not to cross the river." Gushui, go directly to Pengcheng from the north bank of Gushui.”

"Go to Xiao County first, and then go east to Pengcheng? Why?" Yue Yan was stunned, and asked very strangely: "We can go directly south to Pengcheng from Liu County, why do we have to go to Xiao County and make another big circle? ?”

"Three reasons." Peng Yue held up three fingers and explained one by one: "First, we go directly south from Liu County to Pengcheng, and we have to cross the valley water at the ferry near Pengcheng to threaten Pengcheng. As long as the Pengcheng garrison of the Western Chu Rebel Army sends troops to block the ferry, it will be difficult for us to cross the river successfully. If Feng Zhong deliberately delays the pursuit and slows down the pursuit, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of the Western Chu Rebel Army, which is not good for him."

"Second, doing this will prevent us from catching big fish with a long line. As long as he enters Pengcheng eastward from the north bank of Gushui according to our requirements, even if there is any accident, there is a Gushui blocking the road, and we will have enough. Time to adjust and adapt. In addition, after arriving at the Pengcheng battlefield, if the situation is not right, we can also go south quickly from the Chidao to distance ourselves from the Western Chu bandit army, so that it is not easy for the Western Chu bandit army to catch up."

"The third point is the most important. We have to give Feng Zhong a reasonable excuse to return to Pengcheng." Peng Yue said again: "If Feng Zhong really joins hands with us, then tell him to change flags and we join forces to fight Pengcheng. Facing the difficulty of attacking the strong city, in addition, there must be many people in Feng Zhong's army who are unwilling to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, and help Feng Zhong and us attack the capital of the Western Chu bandit army. It will definitely be very detrimental to us, and it may even turn our victory into defeat and suffer a big loss."

"So the best way is to let Feng Zhong continue to use the banner of the Western Chu thief army to make false claims against us for the time being, and find an excuse to let him return to Pengcheng to join the Western Chu thief army in Pengcheng, and then in the decisive battle. At that time, he suddenly turned against him like General Yong Chi, so that he could catch the Western Chu bandit army by surprise and help us quickly take down the important town of Pengcheng."

After listening to Peng Yue's explanation, Yue Yan was of course in admiration. He had no choice but to praise Peng Yue's thoughtfulness and comprehensiveness. Shan secretly conveyed his request to Feng Zhong himself, asking Feng Zhong to act according to plan.

After taking the time to rest under the city of Liuxian for about a day, the lightly armed Hu Zhe army came south to join forces with Peng Yue in Liuxian County, and without delay, Peng Yue immediately diverted his army to the southwest and rushed to attack the city directly east of Pengcheng. In the small town of Xiao County, Feng Zhong followed with his army far away, kept a distance and pursued calmly, deliberately leaving the opportunity for Peng Yue's army to rush across the valley.As a result, relying on Feng Zhong's deliberate release of water, after more than two days, Peng Yue's army successfully crossed the Gushui near Xiao County, quickly blocked the ferry, destroyed the ferry, and allowed Feng Zhongjun to temporarily station troops on the north bank of Gushui.

The most critical step also came. According to the original plan, Peng Yue deliberately left an army to guard Gushui Ferry, and then personally led the main force eastward to attack Pengcheng. After Feng Zhong received the scout report, he immediately summoned all the generals in the army , announced that Peng Yue's army was likely to take advantage of the emptiness and rush to Pengcheng. In order to defend the capital of the Western Chu Kingdom, they decided to return directly to Pengcheng from the north bank of Gushui.As a result, all the generals under Feng Zhong's command were very worried, and they all questioned: "General Feng, what if our judgment is wrong? If the Peng Yue bandit army is just bluffing and pretending to attack Pengcheng, tricking us into returning to Pengcheng, and then they Suddenly turned around and went to other places, isn't our hard work these days not in vain?"

"That's right, Brother Feng, just to be cautious, let's rush to cross the Gushui and continue to pursue." The important assistant Xu Ci also said: "Due to various reasons, we have not been able to catch up with Peng Yue's bandit army during this period of time, and let them catch them. Kongzi took Liu County down, and the two generals must have lost their temper in Pengcheng, if we chased the Pengyue bandit army, you would have no way to explain to them."

Feng Zhong questioned for a moment, and then said: "It's better to be cautious. Pengcheng now has less than [-] defenders. If we fail to cross the valley, we will not be able to cross Gushui immediately and give Pengyue's bandits an opportunity to attack Pengcheng." Even if Pengcheng makes a slight mistake, we are all guilty of death. The priority is to return to Pengcheng. If General Xiang Sheng and General Xiang Ta are held accountable, I will bear it alone, and it has nothing to do with you. "

Seeing Feng Zhong's insistence, all the generals under Feng Zhong who loved Feng Zhong very much did not dare to object. They all clasped their fists and sang promises. Seeing the flaw, Feng Zhong told his army to rest for only two hours at night, and rushed to Pengcheng for rescue as quickly as possible.

To Feng Zhong's surprise, the next morning, when he hurriedly retreated to the city of Pengcheng with his army, the south bank of Gushui and the outside of Pengcheng City were quiet and silent, and the fields were full of busy farmers, and there was no war at all. In the tense atmosphere before the arrival, Feng Zhong couldn't help crying in his heart, and secretly said: "Peng Yue, you bastard, wouldn't you spoil me? If you really took the opportunity to slip away to other places, then I would be in big trouble."

No matter how much you complain, now that you have returned, Feng Zhong can only bite the bullet and lead the army to cross the river immediately. As a result, when Feng Zhongjun crossed the river in batches, Xiang Sheng, who was in charge of the defense of Pengcheng, came to Feng Zhong suddenly. In front of Zhong, as soon as they met, he shouted aggressively and asked: "Feng Zhong, we asked you to lead the army to chase after the Pengyue bandit army. It's fine if you repeatedly delayed the military plane and failed to catch up. Why did you withdraw the troops back to Pengcheng without authorization? Who gave you the order? Pengcheng who called you back?"

"I found in Xiao County that the main force of Peng Yue's bandit army was moving eastward, and there were signs of attacking Pengcheng. I was worried that our country would be lost, so I hurried back with my troops." Feng Zhong quickly explained, briefly explaining the whole story, and then Puzzled and asked: "Xiang Sima, what's the matter, you haven't received the report of Peng Yue's bandits entering Pengcheng?"

"A spooky report! Peng Yue's bandit army has eaten up the guts of a leopard, and dare to invade our capital of Western Chu?"

Xiang Sheng's roaring answer almost didn't make Feng Zhong faint, and he kept roaring, angrily accusing Feng Zhong of ineffective combat, which led to the increasingly rampant Peng Yue army's banditry, and threatened that he must tell Xiang Yu about this situation, so that Xiang Yu could come forward Clean up Feng Zhong.Feng Zhong kept crying in his heart, secretly said: "Peng Yue, I was tricked to death by you this time, I have shown mercy to you so much, why don't you believe me?"

"Report—!"

Fortunately, at this time, a scout from the Western Chu Army suddenly rushed to Xiang Sheng, panting and clapped his hands and said: "Qi report to Xiang Sima, the trace of the bandit army was found [-] miles east of Pengcheng. Pengcheng came in a hurry, the bandit army is very large, we don't know the strength yet."

Feng Zhong also breathed a sigh of relief quietly, and had to admire Xiang Sheng's ability to govern the army. Peng Yue's army had already approached Pengcheng for twenty miles, and Xiang Sheng, the defender of Pengcheng, was able to receive the scout report—and could he not? Quickly find out how many troops are coming to the enemy.Xiang Sheng was completely tongue-tied, and after a while he shouted: "Peng Yue's thieves are really coming towards Pengcheng? How is it possible?"

"Sure enough, the bones were completely softened by the wine, and it became more and more useless. If it were my brother running the army, based on your current performance, even if you were his cousin, he would definitely beat you to the end , will never show mercy."

Feng Zhong murmured in his heart, but his face remained calm, patiently waiting for Xiang Sheng's next move, and Xiang Sheng first scolded the scout who had just sent the military report, and then hurriedly said to Feng Zhong: " Brother Feng, you came back just in time, since Peng Yue's bandit army has really come, I'll leave it to you to reach the bandit army."

"Xiang Sima's forgiveness is related to the safety of Pengcheng. The final general must tell the truth. The final general is not sure that he can defeat the Pengyue bandit army." Feng Zhong quickly said plausibly: "The first reason is that the combat power of the Pengyue bandit army is stronger than that of Pengyue's bandit army. What we expected was far stronger than the ordinary mob. Second, my army has been rushing for days and barely rested last night. The soldiers are tired and hungry, and we are not sure that we can repel the Pengyue bandit army."

"Then what should we do?" Xiang Sheng asked in embarrassment.

"I can only ask you to help." Feng Zhong immediately said: "Please Xiang Sima, you immediately lead the troops out of the city, and join hands with the last general to fight the Pengyue bandit army. I will help you and help you deal with the Pengyue bandit army. "
