Chapter 166: Sending Troops

All forces have their own plans, and Pengcheng has become a symbol of the past.

Liu Yuan looked at the news sent by the dark hall, and Ergou had already reported in detail about Li You's dispatch of troops from Xiangxian County. After checking it, Liu Yuan looked at Xiao He, and he said: "Li You is finally here, Xiao Xiancheng, how is our army prepared?" ”

Xiao He came out of the queue and said: "Back to the lord, our army's food and grass have been prepared, and a large number of people have joined the army in the past few days, and the loss of the battle of Pengcheng has also been compensated. In terms of military strength, it has almost recovered. ”

"Well, that's very good." Liu Yuan nodded, then he looked at Xiahou Ying, and then asked, "What has happened to the Xiang family army outside the city in the past few days?" ”

Xiahou Ying knew that Liu Yuan had been paying attention to Xiang Jiajun, so he did not relax and sent cavalry to monitor every day. Xiahou Ying also replied respectfully: "The lord can rest assured, in the past few days, the Xiang family army has not moved, looking at Xiang Liang's arrangement, everything is preparing for the battle against Li You." ”

"This Liang has won the general, so he naturally has to contribute." Da Niu snorted and said, "Lord, I don't understand what this bear heart thinks, obviously you supported him as the king of Chu, but in the end, the lord became a deputy general." "Da Niu has been complaining about this matter for the past few days.

"Don't talk nonsense." Liu Yuan scolded softly, "Don't let Xiong Xin hear it." ”

"Lord, this bear heart must be guarded." Xiao He reminded.

"Don't worry, I have my own sense of proportion." Liu Yuan nodded.

After discussing with his generals in the morning, Liu Yuan went to meet Xiong Xin, the king of Chu, these days, some of the big clans of Surabaya County have come to meet him, and Xiong Xin is also very busy in order to consolidate his position.

Seeing Liu Yuan coming, Xiong Xin smiled and asked, "What is the so-called matter when Vice General Liu comes?" ”

Liu Yuan told Li You about sending troops, and he said again: "Your Majesty, General Xiang Liang has also been rectified, and now Li You is coming in a mighty way, I don't know if you should send troops?" ”

Hearing this, Xiong Xin's face tightened, and he said in a low voice: "What you said is extremely true. In this way, Xiang Liang was ordered to lead the troops to attack. ”

"No!" Liu Yuan gave the order.

Faced with the order of the king of Chu, Xiang Liang spread out the map, and he also received a report from his scouts and knew Li You's offensive route.

"The stakes are very high in this battle, and whether our Xiang family army can live up to its name depends on the courage of your opponent." Xiang Liang swept over the generals and said heavily. "Liu Yuan wants to use Li You to consume my Xiang family's army, hmph, I don't know that my Xiang family already has two counties, how can it be so easy to hurt the vitality?"

"Uncle, I only hate Liu Yuan for being a bear heart, otherwise, my nephew will behead him." Xiang Yu said angrily.

"Don't be in a hurry, this Liu Yuan will have a chance to deal with it in the future." Xiang Liang continued: "The military division is also about to return from Donghai County, and this time the military division has recruited more than 3,000 soldiers from the county, and our army is not afraid of this Li You at all. Summoned the order, prepare to pull out the camp, this battle, our army and Li You in Yongxian to fight to the death. ”

"No! This battle will be won! The generals immediately took the order.

With the order, Xiang Jiajun began to act quickly, Ji Bu and others each commanded the soldiers under their accounts, and Xiang Yu was holding a halberd and had already ridden to the point general. Not long after, Ji Bu and others also led the troops, Xiang Liang stood on the general's platform, looking at the Xiang family army of more than 7,000 people, and he felt pride in his heart.

"Boom!" Xiang Liang pulled out his sword, he pointed his sword at the sky, even the oncoming cold wind could not stop the blood in his heart. "Beat the drums, send troops!"

"Boom!"

The drums in the camp of the Xiang family army were continuous, and the momentum was stronger than the wave, even in Pengcheng, the high-pitched drums could be heard. Liu Yuan stood on the city tower and said when he heard the voice: "Xiang Liang has finally sent troops. Zhou Bo, order people to pay close attention to Xiang Jiajun's movements! ”

At the same time, Xiong Xin also heard the sound of war drums, and he also knew that Xiang Liang had sent troops, and he suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. The people in Pengcheng looked out of the city, the drums gradually disappeared, and the Xiang family's army gradually moved away.

In Yongxian, Li You's army has arrived outside the city, and Yongxian has not been captured by Liu Yuan, but is still under the control of Chen Tong, the county guard. Entering the lobby, the spies of the Qin army also heard the news of Xiang Liang's troops, and after Li You learned about it, he couldn't help laughing, and he said, "Send troops to Yongxian County?" This Liang didn't know what to fear, so he annihilated this family army in Yongxian County. ”

"General Li, Xiang Liang is so arrogant, we still have to be careful to deal with it." Chen Tong knew the bravery of Xiang Yu and the others, and he reminded.

Li You is not a person who is happy with his achievements, he also responded steadily: "Well, in this battle, our army has a county to rely on, and it has an advantage in itself. However, what Chen Junshou said is also cautious, our army is recuperating, and it is not too much to deal with it carefully. ”

The speed of the Xiang family's army was very fast, and the entire army was strictly disciplined, and there was no confusion in the formation in this kind of rapid march. Under the night, Xiang Jiajun had already left Pengcheng for a day, and Xiang Liang also arranged for the army to rest.

The next day, after the rectification, the army rushed to Yongxian again, and by noon, the soldiers of the Xiang family army were already able to see the city tower of Yongxian County. Everyone held their breath, and the big battle was about to break out.

"Uncle, Li You is in the city." Xiang Yu surrendered his hand and begged for his life, "My nephew is willing to lead the troops to attack the city." ”

"No, the herald encampment. This Li You has a strong army, and if he forcibly attacked the city, our army suffered heavy losses, so the gains outweighed the losses. Xiang Liang immediately vetoed it, and he analyzed: "This Li Youhui will lead the troops to fight." ”

So, the whole army was built on the mountain and encamped. The reason why the camp was chosen on the hillside was also to prevent Li You's sneak attack.

With the arrival of Xiang Jiajun, the atmosphere in the city of Yongxian County also became tense, and Chen Tong and Li You had already climbed the city tower. Looking at it from afar, the Xiang family's army is in a neat formation, with a huge number of people and a strong momentum. Just as Li You was about to arrange to defend the city, the army outside the city actually withdrew.

"Xiang Liang is not stupid." Li You said with emotion, if the Xiang family army attacked the city, he would take the initiative, after all, his Qin army had a city to rely on. And now, Xiang Liang is holding the initiative tightly in his hands, which makes Li You a little passive.

It is impossible for Li You to confront each other and delay the fight with Xiang Jiajun, in that case, it will give the forces of all parties in the old Chu land time to gather in Pengcheng. Li You couldn't afford to wait, so he ordered in a low voice: "Prepare to attack the camp." ”

Chen Tong immediately gathered a large army, led by Li You himself, and then hurried out of Yongxian County.

The cavalry sent by Xiang Liang also immediately transmitted the news back, and the entire Xiang family army immediately lined up and waited for it.

On the plain under the mountain, the terrain is open, and the two sides face each other, and in the face of Xiang Liang's counterattack, Li You immediately said in a deep voice: "Attack!" ”

The entire Qin army rushed towards the Xiang family's army.
