Chapter 391: Han Xinhua Zhao Cut Off the Grain Road
Yingbu saw that the king of Han returned to Huainan without mentioning it, and said that Xiang Yu was broken by Han Xin in two cities, and he was very unconvinced, and now he heard that Han Xin had left Xingyang, so he wanted to unite with Yingbu and destroy Han.
However, the Chu envoy set off from Pengcheng for more than half a month, and there has been no reply so far, which made Xiang Yu quite surprised, and he didn't know what Yingbu was doing, so he had to send someone to Huainan again.
The Chu envoy sent out this time was a little smarter, thinking that the envoy sent before had not returned for a long time, and he must have been detained or killed by Yingbu, and if he went like this, he was just going to die.
Therefore, although several envoys came to the territory under the jurisdiction of Yingbu, they did not go to the palace, but inquired about the news in the vicinity, hoping to find favorable clues.
It is said that these Chu envoys wandered around Huainan for half a map, and did not get any favorable clues, but only inquired about Yingbu It seems that Yingbu is recruiting troops.
But since he is a Chu envoy, he must have a bit of a brain, so he seized the matter of Yingbu's recruitment of troops, and went back to give Xiang Yu a little more oil and vinegar.
Xiang Yu has long been unaccustomed to Yingbu at this time, and the reason is a long time ago, the first time was to kill the Yi Emperor, which was originally a very secret thing, but it was best to make it known to everyone, and it was understandable if he didn't say it, it must be the ghost of Yingbu and the three of them.
Another time was when he was crusading against the Qi State, Yingbu sent out that little force, but it was not enough to cook in the back camp, Xiang Yu was so disgusted with him, and the reason why he didn't do it was because of his strength, and Xiang Yu didn't know how much.
At this moment, Xiang Yu had returned to Pengcheng, and was drinking with great interest, when he suddenly heard that a Chu envoy had returned, he was quite excited, and immediately sent someone to lead him into the palace.
Fan Zeng is all there, in fact, Xiang Yu usually likes to eat, drink and have fun, even more serious than Liu Bang, but Liu Bang listens to people's persuasion, Xiang Yu sometimes doesn't even listen to his father's words, let alone others.
The Chu envoy's face was very serious, and Xiang Yu also felt a little puzzled when he saw this, so he asked: "This time I went to Huainan, did I meet the king of Jiujiang, what happened to the Chu envoy last time?" ”
The envoy immediately knelt down and said: "King Qiyu, the King of Jiujiang is really a bit excessive, the king probably doesn't know yet, those previous Chu envoys have been killed by Yingbu!" ”
When Xiang Yu heard this, he was furious in his heart! "Black-faced thief! How can it be reasonable to dare to kill my messenger, and what do you know when you go? ”
"The king is angry, although we have not seen the king of Jiujiang, but we know from the mouth of Dazai Gong that Yingbu is recruiting troops at the moment, and it seems that he wants to resist the attack of the Chu State."
Xiang Yu was beside him, and without waiting for the envoy to finish speaking, he threw the cup on the ground, "The black-faced thief, it is really a repeated villain, otherwise he would not be subject to this kind of criminal law in Qin, kill me like this, and recruit troops, he must have surrendered Liu Bang Pifu, and he wants to be my enemy!" ”
"Zhong Liwu, Long And, immediately order troops, I want to capture this black-faced thief first, correct him on the spot, and relieve the hatred in my heart!" Xiang Yu said quite irritablely.
Fan Zeng hurriedly got up and stopped: "The king must not, Yingbu does this, there is also a reason for him, now Chu has newly defeated Liu Bang, and many princes have heard the wind and surrendered, it should also be, and our real enemy is Liu Bang, Yingbu Pifu can crusade again in the future, if our army and the Huainan army are both defeated, the final benefit is only the Han army." ”
"Yes, the king, the black-faced thief was originally a feudal feud of the righteous emperor, and his prince is no less than the king, such a rash crusade is really a nameless!" Ji Bu also got up and said.
Xiang Yu breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and Yu Ji next to him immediately changed her wine glass and poured a glass of sake for the overlord, "The king is angry, and drinking to nourish his temperament, don't be as knowledgeable as Na Yingbu." ”
After listening to Yafu's analysis, Xiang Yu also felt reasonable, "What you said is true, I am indeed a little reckless. There was a slight fluency between the words.
Pengcheng didn't mention anything, and said that Han Xin had already led his troops to Daijun at this moment, which is the so-called Zhao Di, and the main enemies were Zhao Wangxie, Cheng Anjun Chen Yu, and Guangwujun Li Zuoche.
This Chen Yu originally proclaimed himself the acting king, but when he saw Xiang Yu defeat Tian Rong, he took the initiative to surrender, not only went to the king, but directly demoted his identity to Cheng Anjun.
Han Xin's army at this time probably had tens of thousands of people, and he went out to bring 100,000, Chenggao, Anyi, and Pingyang, and if the battle line was pulled north, there would be a lot less troops, but there were still 50,000 or 60,000 people.
And at this time, there was someone who voluntarily led tens of thousands of people to come to Han Xin, and this person was Zhang Er, the king of Changshan, a prince who survived in the cracks of Chuqi.
Zhang Er didn't want to take refuge in Han Xin, how good it would be to be a king in Changshan, but he couldn't be angry with Chen Yu in his heart, thinking that Zhao Wangxie's support and Zhao Dibaili's possession were almost all due to Zhang Er and Chen Yu.
Unexpectedly, it was just a matter of interests, Chen Yu actually drove his old comrades-in-arms for many years off the horse, monopolized Zhao Land, and let Zhang Er return to Changshan with his wife and children, and he cried and begged before being released.
The ancients were the most face-saving, Chen Yu stayed alone in Zhao Land, afraid of Zhang Er's resurrection, and preached everywhere that Zhang Er was not, which made Zhang Er infamous.
Therefore, Zhang Er gathered 10,000 people in Changshan, bypassed Chengyang, borrowed the song of the court, and came directly to Shangjun to join Han Xin.
Han Xin stationed troops in the south of Jingcheng and did not attack Zhaodi, before that, there was a problem that had to be solved, that is, to cut off the grain route of Zhaodi, or the rescue troops of Chudi.
There is also a key figure among Zhao and Chu, that is, the general of the king of Western Wei who also serves as Xiangguo, as mentioned earlier, is the future king of Liang, Peng Yue, and most of the land of Wei is now occupied by him.
Therefore, before Han Xin attacked Daijun, he had to explain to Peng Yue first, so that he was optimistic about the grain route between Chu and Zhao, and if there was any news, he should report it immediately.
Peng Yue is a more strategic person, and it seems that he can see from the beginning that King Han can become the Son of Heaven, so everything is subject to the arrangement of King Han and Han Xin.
In the last battle of Anyi, Peng Yue was next to Anyi, although he was Wei Bao's subordinate, he didn't appreciate Wei Bao very much, so he didn't rescue, but watched the fire from the other side.
This battle made Peng Yue completely impressed with Han Xin, so he obeyed the King of Han with all his heart, Peng Yue was probably like this, when he received Han Xin's secret letter, he immediately replied that there was no problem.
When Han Xin received Peng Yue's reply, Peng Yue had already set up an ambush between Zhao and Chu, camped in the hills, and if the Chu State transported grain or brought troops to come, it could be taken in the southwest of Daliang.
At this time, Chen Yu heard that Han Xin was coming to attack Zhao Di, but he didn't take it to heart, and there was only one thing that made him confident, that is, he had 200,000 soldiers in Zhao Di, and Han Xin had tens of thousands at most, which was already very powerful, and the army was not as good as half of Zhao Di, so Chen Yu first felt that he had won in momentum.
