Peng Yuejun wanted to surprise Liu Laosan, and chose to cross the complex terrain in the south of Dongyuan Mountain, and break through to Huling, which is relatively far away from Juyeze, but unfortunately, in fact, long before Peng Yue made this decision, Liu Laosan, who made him a human soup in history, had already expected this.

After leading the army to pursue to the foot of Dongyuan Mountain, he once tried to attack the mountain and was condescendingly killed and retreated by Peng Yuejun, and saw Peng Yuejun camping and resting on the mountain, Liu Laosan in addition to choosing a suitable place to let his army camp and rest, he quickly said: "Peng Yue's puppet will definitely not delay too long on the mountain, if it is fast tomorrow before dawn, at the latest in the second half of tomorrow, he will definitely go down the mountain and flee to Huling." ”

"Why Hu Ling?" Fan Xu, who was covered in black meat, asked in surprise: "It stands to reason that Peng Yue's road to Fanghe is not only much easier, but also much closer to his lair Ju Yeze, he should break through in the direction of Fanghe?" ”

"As smart as a dog!" Liu Laosan has never been polite to his brother-in-law, first scolded a dirty word, and then said: "Even you know that Peng Yue Pifu should go to Fang and break through, in order to prevent us from stopping him and killing him, how can Peng Yue Pifu go to Fang He and send him to death again?" Since he knew that Fang He was a dead end, of course Peng Yue Pifu had no choice but to run south to Huling, and not give us a chance to block him! ”

Fan Xu nodded as if he didn't understand, but Liu Laosan didn't bother to pay attention to him anymore, but just ordered: "Pass the order, seize the time to rest and prepare dry food and torches, and send more people to closely monitor the movements of the thieves on the mountain, so as to prevent Peng Yue's dog from jumping off the wall and sneaking down the mountain to attack our camp." ”

Still after the order was delivered, Cao Shen said to Liu Laosan: "Pei Gong, the terrain in the south of Dongyuan Mountain is complicated, the road is narrow, and it is relatively easy for the army behind the palace of the thief army to stop us temporarily, we may not be sure to kill Peng Yue's thief army before he escapes to Huling, if we still fail to kill Peng Yue's thief army after chasing Hu Ling, and the thief army runs to other places, we will definitely be farther away from the main force led by Zuo Sima." ”

"You still want to go back and die?" Liu Laosan asked in a low voice, and said: "Uncle Zhou is chasing our main force with all his might, and Xiang Zhuang is heading south along the gallop road, it is difficult to get rid of the pursuers, we will go back and meet them, what if we are caught up by the Han thief army?" The taste of being chased and killed by Han thieves for thousands of miles in Yingchuan Nanyang, haven't you tasted enough? ”

Cao Shen was stunned, and only came back to his senses after a pause, and hurriedly asked in a low voice: "Pei Gong, so you want to take this opportunity to deliberately get rid of Xiang Zhuang and them?" ”

Liu Laosan nodded, and said with a sneer: "Uncle Zhou is moving south, and there is a danger of being caught up by Han thieves at any time if he follows the main force, only by taking this opportunity to throw our main force away is safe, anyway, biting Peng Yue's thief army is Xiang Zhuangzi's order, even if he is wiped out, we have something to say in front of Xiang Yu, don't worry about being held accountable by him." ”

Cao Shen came to his senses, praised Liu Laosan's wisdom and wisdom, and suddenly had an idea, and hurriedly said to Liu Laosan: "Pei Gong, since you expect that Peng Yue Pifu will flee for his life in the direction of Huling, then we might as well divide an army at night and ambush on the road leading to Huling in the south, and wait for Peng Yue's thief army to flee there and suddenly kill it, can't we wipe out Peng Yue Pifu?" ”

"Think beautifully." Liu Laosan snorted coldly and said: "The terrain in the south of Dongyuan Mountain is so complicated, there is no guide who is familiar with geography to lead the way, where do we go up to find suitable terrain to ambush?" Don't go into the deep mountains and old forests, you can't get out. ”

Cao Shen was completely confused, and couldn't help but reach out to touch Liu Laosan's forehead, and said suspiciously: "Pei Gong, you don't have a fever, right?" In this area, what other guides do we need to march and fight and set up ambushes? Have you forgotten how many times we came here to play together when we were in Pei County before? Me and you, as well as Zhou Bo and Fan Xu, don't you know the terrain and roads in this area well? ”

Liu Laosan opened Cao Shen's hand angrily, then stared at Cao Shen and asked, "Are you familiar with the terrain and roads in this area?" ”

Seeing Liu Laosan's grim expression, Cao Shen vaguely understood something, hesitated for a moment and replied, "Not familiar." ”

"It's good if you're not familiar with it." Liu Laosan snorted coldly, and then said: "Remember, if Xiang Yu or Xiang Zhuang ask in the future, why don't we arrange an ambush before Peng Yue Pifu flees south, you must answer that there is no guide, you don't know the road, and you can't find a suitable place for an ambush!" Got it? ”

Cao Shen, who was familiar with Liu Laosan's temperament, nodded hurriedly, Liu Laosan snorted coldly again, and then roared in his heart: "Why are there a bunch of stupid pigs and stupid cows around Nai Weng?" At this time, we are in a hurry to kill Peng Yuepifu, and our excuse is to throw off the main force and continue to act alone? Besides, what impact will it have on Xiang Kang's little traitor to kill Peng Yue at this time? It's better to leave him and Jing Jia's puppet behind, and use Jing Jia's throne issue to disgust Xiang Kang's little traitor! ”

"When the time comes, Xiang Kang's little traitor will call Jing Jia's puppet the king, we have the opportunity to win over the discord of Jing Jia's puppet, Xiang Kang's little traitor doesn't give Jing Jia's puppet territory, Jing Jia and Peng Yue's puppet will definitely rebel against him! With such a valuable horseman, how can Nai Weng be willing to slaughter it?! ”

There was the idea of deliberately releasing water in his heart, but in order not to let others notice, causing Xiang Yu and Xiang Zhuang to find themselves in the future to settle the account, Liu Laosan did a very good job on the surface, more than a day later, in the second half of the night of the next day, Peng Yuejun quietly went down the mountain and began to flee south, the situation was just reported to Liu Laosan by the scouts, Liu Laosan immediately ordered all the soldiers to get up and assemble, and rushed into the mountains with the army, pretending to launch an all-out pursuit of Peng Yuejun again.

As Cao Shen expected, after escaping into the complex terrain in the south of Dongyuan Mountain at dawn, Peng Yue really sent his henchman Hu Yu to lead the army to the palace again, and held the danger in the narrow part of the road, blocking the pursuit of the Western Chu army to buy time for the main brigade to escape, but Liu Laosan was unceremonious to Peng Yue's generals, and every time he forcibly attacked, taking advantage of the strength of the soldiers, he broke through the hastily formed defense line three times in a row, and defeated Hu Yu three times in a row, and finally forced Hu Yu, who suffered heavy losses, could only give up the palace. With the remnants of the soldiers, he hurried to chase the main force, although he was not able to catch up with the main force of Peng Yuejun, but he was not completely thrown away by Peng Yuejun.

There are many hills and trees, lakes and swamps are dense, the roads are rugged and difficult to walk, Peng Yuejun and the Western Chu army fled and chased, it took a whole day's time, and in the evening of the same day, they came to the northern suburbs of Huling one after another, and when the scouts reported that they had seen Huling City was about to go out of the mountains and forests, the exhausted Peng Yue army team also suddenly broke out of earth-shattering cheers, up to Peng Yue Jingjia, down to ordinary soldiers, none of them were not happy, celebrating that the army had finally left the deep mountains and old forests, Back to the open plains.

Immediately after, Peng Yue couldn't wait to think about what to do next, and quickly pondered in his heart: "What should I do next?" The Western Chu thief army chased too closely, and it was definitely impossible to lay down Huling to replenish grain and grass, but the defenders of the Western Chu thief army on Huling's side were empty, and we came by mountain and forest paths, and the Western Chu thief army here definitely didn't have time to destroy the bridge and ferry, as long as we hurried through Surabaya and blocked the ferry, we could get a peaceful rest, and then things would be much easier. ”

There was an accident, when Peng Yue had just calculated this, a scout suddenly stumbled back in front of him, and shouted loudly from afar: "Zhuguo! Peng Zhuguo! Enemy! There is an enemy! There is an army of thieves outside Huling City! There is a Western Chu thief army! ”

"What are you panicking about? That city is not garrisoned by an army? Peng Yue scolded angrily, and then asked, "How many?" ”

"Many! Too many to count! Under Huling City, the banks of Surabaya are full of camps and camps of the Western Chu thief army, and there are so many that it is impossible to count! ”

The scout's answer made Peng Yue almost suspect that his ears had heard it wrong, and Jing Jia, Yongya and the others next to him were also dumbfounded, and they all blurted out to the scout, "Are you talking nonsense?" On Huling's side, how could there be so many thieves? ”

"Really, my lord! Absolutely true! The scout who came to report hurriedly replied: "The shore of Surabaya is really full of Western Chu thief armies, and there are also on the other side, although there are not as many as on the north bank, but there are quite a lot!" If the little one dares to say half a lie, please engage in the military law of the king and the pillar country! ”

Jing Jia and Yongya and the others looked at each other in surprise, but Peng Yue's face was grim, and he hurriedly ordered the army to temporarily stop advancing, strictly forbidden to light the torches, and then immediately went to the front to check the situation in person, Jing Jia and Yongya and the others also knew that the situation was not good, and hurriedly followed. As a result, after climbing a hilly mountain with a wide field of vision, and just glanced at the city of Huling, Peng Yue, Yongya and others suddenly turned as pale as paper, and the so-called King Jingjia of Chu almost peed his pants on the spot.

Under the gradually approaching night, outside Huling City from north to south for several miles, there were dark brown camp tents everywhere, as well as bonfires and torches that were being lit one after another, and there were also dark green Western Chu army flags fluttering in the wind everywhere, as well as the Western Chu soldiers and soldiers who came and went. And when he rubbed his eyes repeatedly to make sure that he was not mistaken, Yongya blurted out again, "I'm not dreaming, am I?" On Huling's side, how could there be so many Western Chu thief troops? ”

"We were unlucky, and we met the main force of the Western Chu Thief Army." Peng Yue came to the correct conclusion and said: "There are so many thief troops, it must be the main force of the Western Chu thief army personally led by Xiang Yu Pifu, otherwise, it is impossible for the Western Chu thief army to have so many troops." ”

"What is Xiang Yu doing here?" Jing Jia trembled and said, "Didn't he confront the main force of King Han in Puyang?" How did you get here? ”

"How do I know?" Peng Yue replied with a wry smile: "It's troublesome now, we can't deal with the Western Chu thief army behind, and we have hit the main force of the Western Chu thief army by bad luck, and it will be difficult for us to escape this time." ”

"What then?" Jing Jia hurriedly asked.

"Two choices." Peng Yue replied helplessly: "One is to lay down his arms and surrender, and let the Western Chu thief army fall, and the other is to run northwest and continue to flee through the forest area to see if there is any luck to escape." ”

"I don't surrender! I will never surrender! Jing Jia suddenly became extremely backbone, and said miserably: "Xiang Yu Pifu hates me to the bone, and will never spare me, even if I put down my weapons and surrender, Xiang Yu Pifu will definitely throw me into the Ding and cook me alive!" ”

Glancing at Peng Yue, the thick teeth on the outside and thin on the inside said: "Zhuguo, I don't care, but Xiang Yu is short-tempered, brutal and unkind, you once attacked his capital Pengcheng, burned his palace, and rescued the families of countless important ministers of the Han Dynasty, the degree of his hatred for you is estimated to be not as light as there, the best way is to escape." ”

Yongya's reminder made Peng Yue immediately make up his mind, and with no way out, Peng Yue could only give an immediate order, so that the army would immediately divert to the northeast, and when he drilled back, he had sunk into the dense area of grass and trees at the bottom of Dushan Lake, and broke through to the northeast of Huling overnight to escape for his life. Immediately afterwards, the Western Chu army, which discovered the enemy's situation through scouts, also urgently dispatched an army to check the situation, and soon discovered the important situation of Peng Yue's army fleeing to the northeast.

Perhaps it was the main force of the Western Chu Army, which had been pitied by God, that had already sunset in the Western Mountains, and after adopting Master Xiang Boxiang's bad idea to march eastward to Huling, the main force of the Western Chu Army actually blocked the main force of the Peng Yue Army with whom they had a deep hatred, giving them a chance to take revenge. At the same time, the heavens also made a big joke with poor Peng Yuejun, Liu Laosan, who was originally chasing behind them, had already deliberately released water, and wanted to leave them a way out for long-term interests, as long as they crossed Surabaya first, they could basically guarantee a chance to escape, but what Liu Laosan, who intended to release water, did not expect was that Peng Yuejun had just escaped from the tiger's mouth and crashed into the wolf's den!

More than half an hour later, the Western Chu army caught Peng Yuejun's fallen soldiers, asked about Peng Yuejun's general situation, and quickly reported the news to Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu was overjoyed when he heard the report, and immediately ordered the army to urgently dispatch and go into the mountains to pursue Peng Yue, who had left a deep impression on him, and swore that Peng Yue and Jing Jiasheng must be captured alive and captured in front of him!

Immediately afterwards, when the second watch was approaching, Liu Laosan's subordinates, who followed him, got in touch with the main force of the Western Chu army, and knew the amazing news that Xiang Yu had personally led the main force of the Western Chu army to Huling, and then Liu Laosan didn't even blink an eyelid, and immediately shouted: "Order the whole army to pursue the Peng Yue thief army with all your might, and you must kill the Peng Yue thief army and leave no one alive!" Whoever can catch Peng Yue or Jing Jia, the two horsemen, Ben Sima will personally reward him with a daughter! ”

Still after yelling, Liu Laosan said in his heart: "Peng Yue Xiao'er, Jing Jia Zhuzi, originally Nai Weng still wanted to spare your life, but there was no way, Xiang Yu came in person, that puppet couldn't listen to any good advice, and I had to borrow your head to please him!" ”

More than half an hour later, the news that Liu Laosan led the army to join the pursuit was also reported to Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu was even more overjoyed when he heard the news, and rubbed his hands excitedly and said: "Okay! Good! Since Liu Ji is here, it proves that Xiang Zhuang's army is not far from us, so there is no need to worry about any danger to his army. Haha, God help me, God help me! The day before yesterday, Huan Chu sent good news, saying that the rebel Xiang Kang traitors on the Zhao side were forced to retreat, and today they actually blocked Peng Yue and Jing Jia, and now the king can finally let out a bad breath! ”

"King, this is a good sign for the revival of our Western Chu!" Master Xiang Boxiang hurriedly complimented: "Zhao Xie rebelled, Xiang Kang's traitors were forced to retreat, and Peng Yue Jingjia's two traitors threw themselves into the net and took the initiative to send them to death. ”

When Xiang Yu nodded excitedly, Kui Che on the other side was full of worry, and wanted to say his thoughts several times, persuading Xiang Yu to let go of Peng Yuejun, who was already irrelevant, and let Peng Yue and Jing Jia go back to disgust Xiang Kang, but considering Xiang Yu's fiery temper and Master Xiang Boxiang's own attribute of framing loyalty, Kui Che still closed his mouth and said helplessly in his heart: "Let him go, let him be happy first." ”

At the same time in the northwest of Huling, the Western Chu army with full physical strength also successfully caught up with the exhausted Peng Yue army, and relying on the advantages of physical strength, equipment and combat effectiveness, quickly defeated the Peng Yue army, which could only be regarded as a guerrilla, Peng Yue army was forced to scatter and flee for their lives, the Western Chu army chased and fought fiercely, killed and captured countless people, and won a night battle victory at the time of sunset in the West Mountain!

After another period of time, Liu Laosan received the news that Peng Yuejun's brigade had been defeated, and then Liu Laosan just thought about it for a while, and immediately shouted: "Keep in formation, ignore the scattered enemies, and go directly to Yutai Pavilion!" In front, you can only cross Surabaya with Yutai Pavilion, and you can catch big fish there! ”
