Chapter 308: (Chu State Expedition I)

In the first two years of the Han Dynasty, Liu Penzi was requested by the general Fan Chongzhi to seek a way out for the founding of the country and surrendered to Liu Xuan, and Liu Penzi was canonized as the king of Chu of the Han Dynasty and fief Jiujiang County.

The capital of Chu State, Shouchun City, Jiujiang County, in the palace of the King of Chu

Liu Penzi's career relied on Fan Chong and Xiao An and others, who welcomed Liu Penzi, who was originally a cattle herding baby, to the barracks, which opened Liu Penzi's legendary and short life, but Shangguan Yin Feng changed the direction of history, making Liu Penzi's career a little late, but the time was extended a lot.

In today's palace of the king of Chu, the atmosphere is extremely tense, as the king of Chu, Liu Penzi sat on the throne of the high platform without saying a word, and the minister and general Fan Chong and Yang Yin launched a fierce battle of words, the reason is the news that 200,000 Cheng Dynasty coalition troops camped thirty miles away from Dangshan.

"King, now that the enemy army is coming to the city, although my Chu State has many soldiers, there is still an attack by Sun Hao, the prince of Huainan of the Cheng Dynasty, in the south, and it is really impossible to stop the enemy outside Dangshan, please think twice." Yang Yin, as a veteran general, first considered his own interests, and now the north of Chu is an army of 200,000 led by Shangguan Yin Feng, and the south is 50,000 Huainan soldiers led by Gao Chong, even if Chu claims to have an army of 300,000, but the maximum number of soldiers who can fight is 200,000, and the remaining 100,000 people are used as cannon fodder to attack the city.

"The last general thinks that what General Yang said is indeed reasonable, now our army is facing a two-front battle, if you don't ask the imperial court to send troops to rescue, you can't resist the offensive of the Cheng Dynasty army at all, just Gao Chong makes us quite big, and now Shangguan Yin Feng personally led the army to come, and the last general also thought that it was impossible to stop the enemy outside Dangshan, or shrink the surrounding forces, relying on the fortified city of Shouchun to resist the enemy, so as to slowly think of a strategy to break the enemy." Xie Lu and Yang Yin are old friends, the two had to stand together in order to resist the increasingly powerful Fan Chong and Xiao An under Liu Penzi's account, and now Yang Yin and Fan Chong quarreled, as a good friend, he must not stand up and speak for Yang Yin, the most important thing is that Dangshan is likely to fall into the hands of the two of them in the end.

"Yang Yin, Xie Lu, what are the intentions of the two of you?" Before Fan Chong could speak, Xiao An scolded: "The king usually treats the two of you well, how can you be greedy for life and afraid of death?" Now that the Cheng Dynasty army has not yet arrived at Dangshan, you will shirk it like this, if you pass Dangshan, I am afraid that you will not even be able to hold Shouchun..."

"Nonsense..."Yang Yin looked at Xiao An angrily, and then hugged his fist and said to Liu Penzi: "Although Dangshan is condescending, but in fact, there is no danger to defend, the king also knew back then, once the heavy army surrounded Dangshan, there is no water source on the mountain, how can he survive, and this time Dangshan blocked the enemy, the number is at least 50,000, and 50,000 people exist in Dangshan, what a big number, even if there are many wild fruits on the mountain, may I ask the king, have you ever recalled the hardships on Dangshan?" ”

Yang Yin's words made Liu Penzi, who had not spoken, change his face, how hard life is on Dangshan, if others don't know, they can understand, he Liu Penzi said that he didn't know was bragging, it was precisely because of Yang Yin's words that Liu Penzi's psychology had a subtle change.

"Lonely thinks..."

"King..."Before Liu Penzi finished speaking, Fan Chong strongly interrupted Liu Penzi's words, because in his opinion, the cowardly and timid Liu Penzi was likely to have been hurt by Yang Yin's words: "King Qi, although Dangshan is not dangerous to defend, but it is the only way for the Cheng Dynasty army to enter my Shouchun, if Dangshan is left alone, tens of thousands of horses rush down Dangshan, and cut off the rear wing of the Cheng Dynasty army, then, its 200,000 people can be defeated without attacking, if the army is sent to besiege Dangshan, then the army can be sent to surround the Cheng Dynasty army in it, encircle and annihilate it." This time, Shangguan Yin Feng led 200,000 troops, of which 100,000 are Jiangdong soldiers from Yangzhou, not Shangguan Yin Feng's descendant troops, maybe when the fight starts, in order to preserve their own strength, take the lead in escaping, on the battlefield, once they escape, a chain reaction will be formed, and our army will definitely win a complete victory. ”

Although Fan Chong was rude, his last few words seemed to be very reasonable, and Liu Penzi, who was originally full of gloom, showed a smile on his face after hearing this, nodded and said: "The general is reasonable, Jiangdong soldiers are not the descendants of Shangguan Yin Feng, once the battlefield is lost, they will definitely not attack with all their might, on the contrary, it will bring invisible pressure to Shangguan Yin Feng." ”

"That's right..."Xiao An continued: "The world has been in turmoil for so long, he Nangong Ao has been lonely for several years, and has made a lot of war money, and now he suddenly sent troops, and the last general thought that he was coerced by Shangguan Yin Feng, after all, Shangguan Yin Feng had leveled the threat of Qingzhou and Jizhou, the war was smooth, and the soldiers were invincible, and now they sent 100,000 troops, there must be a plan, we only need to send someone to Yangzhou to lobby, and then promise some benefits, even if it can't promote Nangong Ao's dismissal, but it's no problem for them Jiangdong soldiers to help." ”

"What Aiqing said is very true..."Liu Penzi agreed with Xiao An's words, this matter is much easier from the current point of view.

Fan Chong glared at Yang Yin, who was speechless, and then continued: "King, now that my Chu State is strong and strong, and the imperial court is backing up, presumably the emperor will ignore the suffering of my Chu State?" After all, the king, you are a person in the Jade Butterfly, Gai Yan is close at hand, and the Han army has more than 100,000 elite horsemen in his hands, and it is only a matter of seven or eight days to help my Chu State, even if Shouchun is besieged, relying on the strong city of Shouchun, it will not be a problem to hold on for half a month..."

At this time, as a middle faction, Xu Xuan, who had not spoken, stood in line, and while both sides were thinking about the problem, he said loudly: "Back then, Yuan Jingchu's Beiping City, the capital of the Great Yan Kingdom, built a four-story city wall, and the so-called Shenji Battalion under Shangguan Yin Feng took Beiping City in one day, I don't know if anyone here has considered who is stronger than Beiping City. ”

As soon as this sentence came out, it was a dead end, not only Fan Chong, Yang Yin and others, but Liu Penzi was completely stunned, yes, the four city walls of Beiping City in the Great Yan Kingdom of Yuan Jingchu were all taken by Shangguan Yin Feng one day, don't mention this Shouchun, although Shouchun is a strategic place, the city is built with big bluestone, improved in the past dynasties, and the city wall is tall and strong, but compared with the four city walls in Beiping, it is just a child.

Just as the hall fell into a death-like silence, Xu Xuan, as the person concerned, continued: "Therefore, if you want to rely on Shouchun to defend the Chu State, it is impossible to do a stunt, and now the plan is to rectify the army and fight Shangguan Yin Feng to the death in Dangshan; Of course, the general's words are also agreed, first send someone to Yangzhou to lobby Nangong Ao, then send someone to Huainan to lobby Gongsun Hao, and then send someone to lead the army south to delay Gao Chong, and finally, send someone to Puyang to ask the metropolitan governor Gaiyan to send troops to rescue, three-pronged, the last general thinks that the duel advantage between my Chu State and Shangguan Yin Feng has become a tie, as for the final time, it will depend on the weather at the time of the decisive battle to determine the victory. ”
