The night attack failed, and the internal quarrel within the judgment army turned upside down, especially the several princes who suffered heavy losses, and they were so angry in their hearts! thought that in order to consume the strength of the princes, Fan Zeng adopted the conspiracy of killing with a knife. Because Xiang Yu suffered the least losses in the night attack, it is impossible to justify.

In this night attack, Fan Zeng thoroughly understood that Ye Tong on Qin Pass was not an ordinary person, not only was his strength strong, but his resourcefulness was also not low, and all such complex strategies were accurately inferred. Ling Fan Zeng was cautious when dealing with Ye Tong, and he would not take it lightly.

Fan Zeng wouldn't have been surprised if he knew that Zhang Liang was in Ye Tongjun. Fan Zeng and Zhang Liang are old acquaintances, and they once played national war chess, so they know the roots and know each other equally. It can't be said who is stronger than whom, even if it is not much.

It's not that Fan Zeng doesn't have a deep plan and doesn't calculate well, the biggest problem lies with Xiang Yu. Fan Zeng is Xiang Yu's father, usually Fan Zeng teaches Xiang Yu a lesson, and after a long time, Xiang Yu gets bored and even hates it. Xiang Yu is powerful, and his strength is unmatched in the world.

The invincibility of the world caused problems in Xiang Yu's mentality, and he had a mentality of not taking the people of the world in his eyes. In addition, there are a lot of people who pat sycophants on weekdays, and they hear a lot of sycophants, once someone says harsh words, they will definitely not be able to accept it, and their face is ugly!

Generally speaking, the estrangement between Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng is not the fault of Xiang Yu alone, Fan Zeng also has shortcomings. Fan Zeng loves Xiang Yu too much, a little short-sighted, and wishes that Xiang Yu was a perfect person, so he is too demanding, and he will criticize if he doesn't pay attention to it. If Fan adds another way, Xiang Yu may be able to accept it, and there will be no estrangement. It is impossible to say who is right and who is wrong.

The fiasco of the night attack further magnified the gap between the originally contradictory princes, and it was more difficult to work together again than to ascend to the sky. The princes are not in unison, and there are contradictions, which Ye Tong likes to see. If the princes unite against the Qin Empire, there will be big problems and troubles.

There was no attack for three days, and Ye Tong didn't understand what was going on between the princes. couldn't figure it out, Ye Tong had no choice but to let his subordinates be cautious and not give the judgment army a chance to sneak attack and raid. Attacking Qin Pass head-on, Ye Tong was not worried, after all, Qin Pass was too steep.

Ye Tong remembered that there seemed to be a prisoner in the prison who had not been dealt with, and after thinking about it, he asked people to bring out Peng Yue in the prison, Ye Tong took a look, and if he could use it, he would stay, and if he couldn't use it, he would pull it down. Even if it is a famous general in the early Han Dynasty, there is no shortage of famous generals under Ye Tong.

After Peng Yue was escorted to Ye Tong's Zhongjun tent, he was still arrogant and held his head high. He never bows his head, as if there are only people in the world who ask for him, and there is no one in the world who asks for him. As soon as Lao Tzu is the first in the world, what do you dare to do with me?

Qian Qian told Ye Tong that Peng Yue's commander value was 93, his force value was 94, and his intelligence was 78. Ye Tong was surprised when he heard this, Tong and Wu both exceeded 90, and they were all military generals, no wonder they became one of the three generals in the early Han Dynasty.

Ye Tong stared at Peng Yue for a few minutes, and finally said lightly: "Peng Yue, guilty of rebellion, war crimes, crimes of harming the people, rumors, robbery, destruction of public property, etc., is enough to be killed a hundred times."

Now General Ben gives you two choices: one is to surrender to General Ben and atone for his sins with his military exploits; The second is to stay in prison for the rest of your life. It's impossible to stay in prison, you have to work to support yourself. That is, you will have to serve hard labor for the rest of your life. ”

Next to Ye Tong's beautiful secretary and Zhang Liang, after hearing the verdict, they were very surprised, their mouths were wide open, and they couldn't close for a long time. It's not that Peng Yue shouldn't die, it's the crime that Ye Tong said, I haven't heard it before! What war crimes, crimes against public property, etc.

Peng Yue, who originally held his head high, was dumbfounded! After coming back to his senses, he asked: "General, I have confessed to the crimes of rebellion, harming the people, and robbery, but what are the war crimes and property destruction crimes?"

Sweat!

It seems that war crimes are only found in national wars, but can rebellion be called war crimes? The words have been spoken, so don't do it!

Hehe!

"Peng Yue, the crime of destroying public property means that you have destroyed many state properties. For example, attacking the city, destroying the city, destroying the house, etc., don't those that do not belong to the property of the state, the city does not belong to the country, and do not belong to the people, they don't understand this, and they are all famous generals! ”

Peng Yue was depressed, pinched his nose and asked, "General, what about war crimes?" ”

"Peng Yue! You really don't understand? A war crime is the initiation of a war, and when the war ends or is captured, one is responsible for the war. If there is a war between countries, it must be responsible for compensating for the costs of war damage. Got it? ”

Peng Yue shook his head and said, "I don't understand!" ”

"It's okay if you don't understand, as long as you know that there is this sin, between ten breaths, say your choice."

Before Peng Yue came back to his senses, Ye Tong had already begun to count:

1！

2！ 3！ 4！ 5！ 6！ 7！ 8！

9！

Peng Yue's head was big, and when he ran into a barbarian who didn't play cards according to common sense, he suddenly disrupted the plan he had in mind. Originally, I wanted to be arrogant and strive for more benefits and value. But Ye Tong's voice is like a ghost, the voice shocks the heart, and there is no room for maneuver!

Ye Tong only counted 9, and seeing that it was about to be 10, Peng Yue no longer dared to be arrogant, and immediately knelt down and saluted, and said loudly: "Peng Yue greets the lord!" Follow the lord all your life, and never regret it, otherwise the sky will thunder. ”

Hehe!

"Get up! Follow Jiang Song to learn the new military system first, and then lead the troops to fight after learning the military system. Ye Tong helped Peng Yue up.

"Yes! Lord. ”

Xu Ying and Zhang Liang next to them were dumbfounded! Is this convincing?

Xu Cheng has already agreed to be a secretary, Mianliang has not yet expressed his position, and it is estimated that he is waiting for Ye Tong to open his mouth to invite. After seeing Peng Yue's confession, Zhang Liangxin was full of emotion. Ye Tong is thoughtful, and his methods are full of tricks, which is amazing!

Ye Tong asked people to put food and drinks, called Jiang Song and Li Shuo, and drank with Peng Yue. The main thing is to let a few people exchange feelings and facilitate future work together.

Ye Tong knew in his heart that this method was not suitable for Zhang Liang. When Zhang Liang encounters such a thing, he will definitely not say a word, let him be punished, will not argue, and will not bow his head. Willing to die rather than bow his head is a true gentleman's behavior.

Peng Yue asked, "Lord, what about the 7,000 soldiers who surrendered under the lowly command?" or continue to hand it over to the lowly command. ”

Hehe!

"Peng Yue, on the one hand, it is impossible, those captured soldiers must do five years of hard labor before they can be released, but they are still paid, less than half of the normal labor; On the other hand, the 7,000 captives had already been escorted to Hanzhong on their way and could not be recovered. ”

Yes!

"Lord, those are elite soldiers in a hundred battles! It's a pity to be sent to do hard labor. ”

Hehe!

"Peng Yue! What was the strength of your spearmen who were assassinated head-on that day? Rest assured! In the future, there will be a large number of such soldiers, and there is no need to worry about the elite of the soldiers, it is not a matter at all. It is not too late to wait for General Ben to handle the affairs of the DPRK and China well and make proper arrangements. ”

"Yes! Lord! ”

Peng Yue shook his head and smiled bitterly, just kidding! Who doesn't like that kind of soldier! Also fight for a bird. Those soldiers under his command have strong combat ability, but there are many problems! Discipline is lax, they are all prisoners and bandits, and it is really difficult to manage.

Next, Peng Yue gave a detailed introduction to the situation of the princes' judgment of the army. Those situations are very important to Ye Tong. As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent and not being defeated in a hundred battles plays an important role in designing plans and combat plans. It can be arranged and arranged in a targeted manner.

"Peng Yue, judging the lack of food and grass for the army, the Luoyang area has been fortified and cleared, where to get grain and grass?"

"The lord, on the one hand, is transported from Zhao, Liang, Chu, Qi, Yan and other places; On the other hand, take the big family to open the knife! There are many local tyrants and inferior gentry, big families, and official eunuch families in Luoyang, who have a large amount of grain and grass in their hands, which can solve the problem of grain and grass in the short term. ”

Hehe!

"Peng Yue, does it mean that all the big families in Luoyang have been exterminated?"

"Yes, my lord. The grain and grass that were basically wiped out and the people who were not destroyed. ”

Ye Tong immediately asked Jinyiwei to send the situation to Guanzhong and tell the big families in Guanzhong who were unwilling to relocate. It's not that Ye Tong's conscience is very good, it's that he doesn't want the army to go to Guanzhong, there will be no food and grass, and he will bloom as soon as possible—go back to his own home.

According to the information obtained from Jinyiwei's investigation, the big households in Guanzhong have a large amount of grain and grass in their hands. Once sentenced to plunder, it can solve the problem of grain and grass for a period of time. Only when the princes separate the army can they have a chance to break through and recover Guanzhong.

Jiang Song asked: "Peng Yue, is there a chance to sneak attack the army grain and grass?" ”

"Difficult! It's too hard! Grain and grass were piled up in the center of the princes' coalition army, and there were large armies of princes guarding all sides, making it difficult to sneak in. Even if you sneak in, you basically have no way back, and in the face of the encirclement and suppression of hundreds of thousands of troops, you can't break through. ”

Hehe!

Ye Tong said: "Don't be so troublesome, it won't take long, we should also flash people, there is no need to take risks." After the judgment army is killed in Guanzhong, it will not stay for too long, a few months at most. ”

Peng Yue was stunned when he heard this! Puzzled, he asked: "Lord, do you mean not to defend Qinguan, even Guanzhong has to give up and hide in the Hanzhong area, the territory is too small, which is not conducive to development!" ”

"Don't worry! The last thing the Qin Empire lacks is grain and grass, and once the army is separated, it will be time for us to fight back. Let the princes be happy first, and slowly clean up. Peng Yue! If you think about it, in the past two years, the army should have eaten all the stored grain and grass of the Qin Empire, once it is finished, what should I do? ”

Ye Tong was right, the First Emperor built large granaries in many places and stored a large amount of grain and grass. As a result, it became a sentence of military rations and grass, and the problem was with Zhao Gao and Hu Hai. Otherwise, what will the army use to recruit troops, buy horses, have no food, and what kind of battles to fight.

"Peng Yue, where is your family, write a letter, General Ben sent someone to receive Hanzhong, don't worry about the safety of your family at all times."

"Thank you, lord!"

Seeing Zhang Liang's demeanor, Ye Tong knew that he was worried about the safety of his family, so he immediately smiled and said: "Mr. Zifang, you don't have to worry, your family has arrived in Hanzhong safely, I originally wanted to surprise you, look at your worried eyes, let's tell you!" ”

"General, thank you!"

After being full of wine and food, Ye Tong received a message from Jinyiwei that the emperor's son and the courtiers had arrived in Hanzhong. It seems that the new emperor has no confidence in whether he can hold Hanzhong, and is ready to continue his westward journey to Shu County. Hehe! The emperor is afraid of death!

Ye Tong thought about it, nodded and smiled, Ziying's original fiefdom was Shu County. Ye Tong didn't block it, it was unnecessary. The emperor is just an ornament for Ye Tong. After the end of the Qinguan blockade, we have to spend time communicating with the emperor to redefine the national system.

"Tell Qin Hui and Mulan that you must control those craftsmen. The soldiers we produced could not be given to the emperor, so we threw the soldiers from those counties to the emperor. Anyway, we will only stay in Hanzhong, and we will not go to Shu County and Ba County. ”

"Yes!"
