Chapter 383: Flickering at Two Ends (Second Update)
Therefore, he was all in the city, and Peng Yue reacted, the emperor is not a test of his ability to lead troops, but a test of his own IQ!
With these 500 people, even if the gods descend to earth, it is impossible to destroy a country of Yelang with towering walls and tens of thousands of soldiers, right?
Fortunately, Peng Yue only took these 500 people, the target was not big, and it was not discovered by Yelang's defenders for a while, so at that time, Peng Yue took the team to a secret place twenty miles away from Yelang Country, and set up camp first.
After setting up camp, Peng Yue did not rush to succeed, but personally disguised himself as the aborigines in Zhongshan in Bashu County, they still have a certain amount of communication with the people of Yelang country, Yelang covers a small area after all, and some things still need the supply of the surrounding counties of Daqin, so that it is just a few days of hard work, Peng Yue has a lot of understanding of Yelang country.
By understanding him, he knows that whether this Yelang is a monarch or a common man, in fact, no one is stupid, everyone knows that Daqin even destroyed the Xiongnu's Shan Yu, and the heads of the tribal leaders of Nanyue don't know how many they have killed, and it will be a matter of time before they kill your little Yelang.
But seeing that Daqin didn't take any action for a long time, the king of Yelang still had that little luck mentality in his heart, he thought that if the emperor of Daqin was busy with other things and forgot about himself all day long, then wouldn't I still be the king here for a few days? Power is a thing, it must be good to be one more day, so this Yelang's king has rejected the suggestion put forward by his subordinates to pay tribute to Daqin first several times, wanting to see how long the emperor of Daqin can hold out and then come to fight his Yelang, this matter has been passed from Yelang's palace, and it has become a joke among the people.
Peng Yue also learned that the people of Yelang actually did not have much resistance to Yelang's return to Daqin, because compared to Daqin, Yelang was still poor, and not only poor, but also not rich, and the climate was not good, that is, within the scope of Daqin, Bashu, which belonged to a poor place, was very envious of the people of Yelang.
Knowing this, Peng Yue, who had been frowning before, was much more confident at that time, this night Langguo put it bluntly, that is, he didn't do anything here, just waiting for Daqin to attack them, and it must be that the army knelt down directly before it was in place.
But Peng Yue also knows that if you want to make Yelang kneel, there must be a premise, even if you don't have an army of tens of thousands, you must at least have a decent general in the past, but he doesn't even have an official and a half position in the court of Daqin, and there are no people under him.
So during this time, Peng Yue was embarrassed enough, but in the end he decided to take a risk, he couldn't give up the child and couldn't trap the wolf, he believed that Yinggao, as the emperor of Daqin, would not let him simply give this credit, what should be paid, that must be paid.
Peng Yue directly dispatched a person, with all five hundred men and horses, and swaggered to the gate of Yelang.
At this time, there may be two situations waiting for them, the first is that there are thousands of arrows on the city wall, and all the five hundred people are hung up, in case this situation occurs, Peng Yue knows that he will probably have to wipe his neck, and the second is naturally that the monarch of Yelang Country is forced by the obscenity of Daqin, even if there are only five hundred people, he does not dare to act rashly.
What Peng Yue didn't know was that in response to this matter, it really triggered a series of discussions in the court of Yelang Country.
At that time, Yelang's monarch was in his harem and was playing an indescribable little game with his dozens of Meiji, who were considered heartthrobs in Yelang, and when he heard the guards tell him that another team of Daqin's men and horses suddenly came to the city, he was so frightened that the little brother turned into a man, and then he hurriedly put on his own clothes and ran to the court with a snort.
Yelang country is not big, so there are few main officials, and the ones who can really speak are their prime minister and their general, this person is a man with a lot of money and a martial arts, and he is the right-hand man of this Yelang country, and now that there is such a big thing, this person has been waiting here for a long time.
"Great Qin's army has really arrived under my Yelang's city? How should this be, how should it be? ”
Seeing that his two ministers all had solemn expressions, the monarch knew that this matter should be abolished, and the day he feared every day had finally come, and his country was about to be unsaved......
"According to the person who came, this time the main general of Great Qin is the general Han Xin, who brought tens of thousands of horses, and these five hundred people are for the vanguard, so Han Xin doesn't want to use swords with my Yelang, so he sent one person to negotiate peace......
"Peace talks? Is it still possible for me Yelang to negotiate peace with Daqin? ”
"Although it is a peace negotiation, according to what the person said, it is just to let the king of Yelang save a trace of face, so that the people of Yelang can suffer less sins. My Yelang's territory must be returned to Daqin. ”
The old man who kept speaking was the prime minister of Yelang Kingdom, and his meaning was obvious, that is, he agreed to negotiate with this small group of pioneers of Great Qin, in exchange for the last shred of face of this monarch and the safety of the people.
But when the two of them were talking, the tall man next to him had a look of disdain.
"General, what do you want?" Of course, the monarch didn't want to lose his country directly, and the room in his backyard was beautiful, and when he saw his general disobeying and eight of those seven dissatisfied, a glimmer of hope rose in his heart.
"Can a mere 500 cavalry bring my Yelang people to their knees? Seeing that I led the troops to kill these 500 people first, maybe Han Xin also fled when he heard the news! ”
As soon as these two people had different opinions, they began to quarrel, and the monarch was a little sorry on the one hand, and he didn't dare to go against the soldiers of Great Qin on the other hand, and he was also very entangled in his heart.
In the end, the three of them agreed that the prime minister would go to meet the leader of the vanguard to see what the other party's attitude was, and then talk about anything else when he returned.
In this way, there was a meeting between Peng Yue and this old man.
"I don't know what General Han Xin has to say?" As soon as they met, Peng Yue found that this old man who claimed to be the first person under the monarch of Yelang Country was quite polite, and at first glance, he really seemed to be a general, and he was still very enthusiastic when they met, obviously his impression of Daqin was still good.
"General Han Xin has arrived not far from Yelang at this time, what he thinks in his heart is that Yelang's monarch can get acquainted with each other, and when the general arrives at Yelang, what he sees is the scene of Yelang monarch leading his ministers to greet each other, not sabre-rattling, if that is the case, I am afraid that the final loss must be waiting!"
Peng Yue said earnestly to the prime minister of Yelang Kingdom, obviously, Peng Yue, who seemed to be loyal, was completely nonsense at this time, of course he knew that Daqin only sent a team of only five hundred people like him, so in addition to these five hundred people, he was completely fooling this old man who seemed to have a good attitude towards Daqin, and his temples were already a little gray.
"Then according to the general's opinion, what should I do to ensure the safety of my Yelang monarch and the people?"
Peng Yue's remarks that his face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he directly made this old prime minister of Yelang believe it, which made Peng Yue breathe a sigh of relief, and said that it was no wonder that Jun Shang and General Han Xin looked down on this Yelang people a little, it turned out that their IQ was really not very reliable.
"You tell your monarch in advance, if you can welcome my five hundred people into the city first, and see them as a courtesy of surrender, after I enter the city, I will naturally write a letter to General Han Xin to inform him of the situation here, and then you will greet General Han Xin immediately, and after General Han Xin arrives, he will bring the king's edict to see what you and others do."
What Peng Yue said is obviously clear-eyed, and there is no flaw.
According to Peng Yue's idea, once he succeeds in defrauding Yelang, he will immediately repair a letter and send the fastest person to Xianyang to inform Yinggao of this matter, Yinggao will naturally send to collect Yelang after he knows it, once he can hold out in Yelang's city until the people sent by Yinggao are in place, then his task will of course be completed urgently.
After Peng Yue finished speaking, he looked at the old man in front of him for a long time, and pretended to be impatient, as if he might shoot the case at any time.
"General, don't worry, although I am the prime minister of this Yelang country, but this matter still has to be discussed with our monarch, the general is waiting here, within a day, there will be news!"
"Don't think that the patience of my Great Qin soldiers is unlimited, if we can't have a definite answer within one day, we won't wait here, but will go to meet General Han Xin, and then Yelang and my Great Qin can only meet on the battlefield."
Dropping such a sentence, Peng Yue made a gesture of sending off the guest, obviously asking the prime minister to stop in this ink, hurry up and discuss with your monarch, otherwise we won't wait for you!
Of course, the prime minister knew the seriousness of the truth, and immediately went back after Peng Yue's salute.
After thinking for a while, he immediately found a lieutenant general assigned to him by Han Xin, and said to him: "You quickly ride a fast horse back to Xianyang City, and tell General Han Xin that I have taken this Yelang country and are collecting those who surrendered in the city. ”
"But...... The general hasn't entered the country yet, huh? ”
Obviously, the deputy general is under the command of Xiang Yu, and he doesn't believe that Peng Yue will let him go back to report the attack at this time, in his opinion, this Peng Yue is a big fool, this side has fooled the prime minister of Yelang Country, and there wants to fool Han Xin and Yinggao.
"I am the only chief general among these five hundred people, I asked you to report to General Han Xin, and you will do what I say, once something goes wrong, I will naturally bear it!"
The deputy general couldn't resist Peng Yue, so he could only sigh, rode his horse and galloped all the way, but what he thought in his heart was that he couldn't let this Peng Yue be so nonsense, he must go back quickly and tell Han Xin about this matter as it is, and then let Han Xin decide.
Seeing the deputy leave in a huff, Peng Yue also breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart Han Xin, Han Xin, don't let me down.
At the same time, Peng Yue also knows that he is now making a big gamble, and this gamble also has two layers, the first layer is whether the monarch of Yelang Country can really believe his words, and then let himself enter the city of Yelang Country, and the other layer is whether his speculation about Yinggao's psychology is correct, if he will be wrong, even if he wins Yelang Country through this method, I am afraid that he will not be a good general in Yinggao's heart.
One day, very quickly, when it was a day before the prime minister of Yelang Country and Peng Yue met, the prime minister of Yelang Country finally appeared again, Peng Yue knew as soon as he looked at his expression that there was still a way to do this.
And at this time, Han Xin has been from Xianyang City for a few days, although the road in the land of Bashu is very rugged, but Han Xin is also led by elite cavalry, riding horses, many things are much simpler, the only prayer in Han Xin's heart is that Peng Yue don't really think that his five hundred cavalry will be able to destroy the Yelang Kingdom, if that is the case, when he arrives, it is estimated that waiting for him will be a very cruel result.
Han Xin didn't want to wait until he arrived to wait for Peng Yue's death, so he was marching at full speed.
As a result, when he was still a few days away from Yelang Kingdom, suddenly the scout brought back a person who was suspected of being a spy and brought that person to Han Xin's side, and Han Xin recognized it, isn't this the deputy general he gave him when Peng Yue left?
When the deputy general saw that Han Xin would appear here, he knelt on the ground and cried, bluntly saying that Peng Yue was a sneaky and slippery person, and when he arrived at the place, he didn't think about how to attack Yelang, so he actually used the means of flickering at both ends.
"Good! The king really didn't misunderstand this person, this person can have such a brain and courage, but don't be killed by the people of Yelang Country because I waited too late to go in Yelang Country! ”
After sighing like this, Han Xin hurriedly commanded the people under his command to rush to Yelang Country as quickly as possible, and the deputy general didn't understand what Han Xin meant at all, and his heart said Isn't it just a big fool? But I went with it.
