Chapter 398: Peng Yue sent troops to attack Chen County

Liu Bang saw that Xiang Yu's soldiers were approaching the city, but he just let the Han generals defend it, although there was no rule at all, but defending the city was always easier than attacking the city, so Xiang Yu had no choice but to fight Liu Bang outside the city.

In the Chu military camp, Xiang Yu was in the first place, and Fan Zeng and the others were all around, so he opened his mouth and asked you, "Now Liu Bang is in the city, what do you think should be?" ”

Fan Zeng thought for a while, and said quite seriously: "Now that Han Xin is far away in the land of Yanqi, there are not many people in Xingyang, although it is not possible to attack the city, but Xingyang can be surrounded, so that Liu Bang will definitely be captured." ”

"What Father Ya said is reasonable, but is this move too slow, if Peng Yue Yingbu comes to support, wouldn't he miss the opportunity and go back to Chen County to rescue?" Ji Bu said very directly on the side.

Fan Zeng immediately laughed, "Ji Bu is thoughtful, but now that the grain is all in Chen County, how can the old man not pay attention to it, if Peng Yue sends troops to attack the grain and grass, the king only needs to send people to ambush near Chen County, and when Peng Yue's army is defeated and besieges Xingyang, he can have no worries, as for Yingbu, Gong Ao is still there, so he will not dare to send troops." ”

"What Ya Father said is true, I immediately ordered the dragon to ambush near Chen County, and now I will temporarily garrison outside Xingyang City, and wait until the dragon has news to come, and then it is not too late to besiege Xingyang, so as not to suffer the enemy on my back." Xiang Yu said quite confidently.

The Chu and Han soldiers did not mention each other, and said that Li Sheng and Lu Yan came out of Xingyang, so they rushed all the way to Daliang, although Peng Yue knew that Xiang Yu sent troops, but thought that the situation was not very critical, so he did not send troops to help the Han army.

When I heard that the Han envoy was coming, I couldn't help but be a little dazed, and immediately ordered someone to bring it into the living room, and saw that it was Li Sheng and Pingnanhou, and I was even more respectful.

Peng Yue was even more surprised when he saw that Lu Yan was still standing in the same year, and he still had clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and he was even more surprised in his heart, so he hurriedly invited him into the inner room to prepare tea and asked why he came.

After the three of them finished saluting, Lu Yan replied first: "The general is polite, the two of us are just ordered to come, and I want to ask the general to send troops to assist the King of Han to relieve the danger of Xingyang." ”

Li Sheng is also the head of the jaw, "Now the overlord leads the army to come, and the troops are pressing Xingyang, but the princes all take refuge in the King of Han, and the Xiang Ji is just going back and forth, but there is no place of many sizes, if the general goes to help and retreats from the Chu army, then the King of Han can win the world, and the general still does not lose the merit of worshipping the king." ”

But Peng Yue also knew in his heart that Xiang Yu led an army of sixty or seventy thousand, and he only had thirty or forty thousand, and they were all miscellaneous soldiers left behind by Wei Bao, and they couldn't be compared with Xiang Yu's Jiangdong disciples at all.

"The two of them know something, but Xiang Yu is powerful, and there is a huge disparity with a certain force, even if he and the Han King should cooperate with each other, they may not be able to resist the Wu sergeant of the Chu army." Peng Yue said with some concern.

When Li Sheng heard this, he immediately waved his hand and said: "The general doesn't have to send troops to Xingyang, but he can attack Chen County later, this is the granary of the Chu army, so the order to withdraw the troops to rescue, such a danger in Xingyang can also be solved." ”

Lu Yan thought about it for a while, thinking that Chen County was a granary, and it was impossible for Xiang Yu not to send heavy troops to guard it.

"What Mr. said no, if you don't follow Ziyu's plan and send troops to Pengcheng directly, that nationality will definitely not expect Liang soldiers to attack Pengcheng, so you will definitely have to take care of yourself." Lu Yan then said.

Peng Yue next to him bowed slightly, thinking that if he attacked Pengcheng, it would be a long journey, and the soldiers would be tired at that time, and if he encountered the Chu army, the whole army would be annihilated, although this plan was good, but it was too dangerous.

If I listen to Li Sheng's words, send troops nearby, attack Chen County, and burn the grain and grass of the Chu army, Xiang Ji will get the news, and the army will be withdrawn, and the danger of Xingyang can be solved, and I can also immediately return to the defense of Daliang.

Peng Yue made up his mind in his heart, and immediately said to the two: "Chen County is in front of you, it is more appropriate to send troops to Chen County, and it is not impossible for Peng Cheng to make a decision in the future." ”

Lu Yan also felt that he was a little worried, so he nodded and said: "In this case, please be careful with the general, if there is nothing else, we will no longer disturb the general." ”

Seeing this, Peng Yue didn't stay long, and sent the two of them very respectfully, and immediately ordered 5,000 troops, heading towards Chen County, on the outskirts of Daliang, Lu Yan always felt that something was wrong, and couldn't help but sigh a little.

Li Sheng was beside him, very puzzled, "Master Hou, now that Peng Yue has sent troops, why do you still sigh like this, don't you think there is something wrong?" ”

"I just think you seem to underestimate Father Ya's intelligence, even if Zhang Liang and Chen Ping are not necessarily his place, didn't he expect Peng Yue to send troops to attack Chen County?" Lu Yan said very angrily.

"This, Hou Ye, let's see, if Peng Yue is attacked, he can only let the King of Han find another way, and whether Chen Ping and Zhang Liang can fight Fan Zeng can also be known this time." Li Sheng said with a little expectation.

"The two of them are fighting for Xiang Ji, and the nemesis of Ya Father is Xiang Ji, so they can't fight." Lu Yan said calmly.

After a few words of conversation, the two drove to Qi Guoli, wanting to persuade Tian Guang, the king of Qi, before Han Xin sent troops, so as not to raise unnecessary soldiers.

After Peng Yue sent his troops, he thought that Xiang Ji had concentrated all his troops in Xingyang, so he was quite relieved and rushed towards Chen County day and night.

At this time, Long He had already set up ambushes around him, where did Peng Yue know this, Liang soldiers had just passed Weishui, Long He got the news, and all the troops were ambushed in the north of Chen County.

In his opinion, as long as the Chu army camp did not move, it means that the army is still outside Xingyang City, so he was overjoyed and ordered people to cook at night, and attacked Chen County when he was ugly.

Long and all the troops were in the southwest of Chengyang, that is, near the end of Weishui, it was night, the Liang army had just crossed the river, and the Chu army found out about the movement and immediately ordered people to prepare.

Peng Yue was in front, seeing that the front was very quiet, he didn't feel a little worried, but the soldiers had already arrived, how could he say that he would retreat, so he ordered not to be lazy, and to advance directly, and he could attack the city when he was ugly.

Unexpectedly, not long after the Liang army crossed the river, Long He directly led the army to kill, Peng Yue was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly moved forward to meet the battle, Long He had long expected that it was Peng Yue.

took advantage of the darkness to shout: "General Peng Yue, surrender now, spare you from dying, don't wait for me to take your head!" ”

When Peng Yue saw that the Chu army actually called out his name, he knew that there was an ambush long ago, "I regret not listening to the words of the Hou Ye, now the Chu army does not know the geometry, if it does not retreat, the whole army will be destroyed!" ”

Therefore, Peng Yue did not answer, but turned the horse's head and rushed towards the beam, how could Long Yue allow Peng Yue to escape, and immediately chased after him, wanting to take Peng Yue's head.

Taking advantage of the moonlight, Peng Yue saw that the general of the Chu army was chasing after him, and there were no soldiers, so he hurriedly turned around to meet the battle, and the two fought for twenty rounds before the Liang army fled from the rear.

Peng Yue knew that the Chu army was about to chase after him, so he concealed the dragon and shot a shot, and fled towards the shore of Weishui.
