Under the dictatorship of Hu Hai, Zhao Gao and others, the speed of the Qin Empire's rise to decline was eye-catching, the old order was broken, and a new order was gradually formed.

The internal contradictions of the Qin army gave Li Yuan the opportunity to exploit loopholes, Zhang Han wanted to reach out and was resisted, Wang Li wanted to annex it and couldn't reach it, as for Yang Xiong and Zhao Ben, they knew little about the situation of Li Yuan's department, and Li Yuan was active between Xingyang and Dingtao, and Yang Xiong, who was short of troops, could only do in vain.

The reorganization of the Great Liang was an unexpected move to break the norm for the Qin army, which had always been strict in military discipline, and the identity of Li Yuan's traveler, the sharp contradiction between the county soldiers and the imperial court, the lack of high-ranking officers who were enough to confront Li Yuan, and the joy of saving his life from the death line, these various factors superimposed on Li Yuan's army, so that Li Yuanjun took the first step from vassal to independence.

Dig deep holes and accumulate grain.

Li Yuan's current idea is very simple, fledgling, the family background of more than 1,000 people can't be thinner, there is no status, fame, money and food, and it is just a delusion in the novel of gods and monsters that people gather and follow the crowd, and famous capable people compete to vote.

Daliang is surrounded by powerful heroes, not to mention strong opponents like Xiang Liang, Zhang Han, Xiang Yu, and Liu Bang, even the strength of Yang Xiong, Zhao Ben and others is much stronger than Li Yuan. Seizing the time to reorganize the army and firmly grasping military power in his hands is Li Yuan's top priority.

Whether it is Zhou Xing, Wang Laoliu, or Hu Zhuang, He Ping, the names of these people Li Yuan have not been seen in any historical books, in other words, these people are all unknown people, relying on these people to compete with Xiang Yu, Liu Bang and a group of fierce people, Li Yuan has not been arrogant to the point of ignorance.

Talent is cultivated.

Now that he has taken the first step of independence, there is no turning back when he opens the bow, and Li Yuan doesn't want to become a victim of a powerful shili in a short time.

August 27.

The Qin army rested in Daliang until the tenth day, and the calm situation was suddenly broken. The Liang giant thieves, who had always been in contact with Liu Bang and others, also began to target this small and newly defeated Qin army. Peng Yue, the great thief of Juyeze, gathered several small groups of thieves, proclaimed himself Juye Jun, and led more than 5,000 thieves, known as tens of thousands of heroes from Liang to kill Junyi.

The big thief Peng Yue, the word Zhong. Peng Yue is the ancestor of guerrilla tactics, the enemy advances and retreats, the enemy is stationed and I fight, and the enemy is tired and I chase, and the overlord Xiang Yu is miserable. Fortunately, Li Yuan is not Xiang Yu, Peng Yue's set of things has already been put into practice by Taizu in later generations, and when it comes to practical application, Li Yuan's level is not much worse than Peng Yue.

The family is big and the business is big, and there are many places to worry; One poor and two white, Li Yuan has nothing to worry about now, his coping strategy is to respond to all changes with the same, shrink the troops in Junyi City, one to monitor the group of thieves, and the rest continue to operate, so that Peng Yue and others can not find any flaws.

The confrontation situation lasted until the beginning of September, Li Yuan saw the move, and ignored Peng Yue's off-the-plate moves, Peng Yue finally ran out of patience, and with the deepening of the reorganization, the combat effectiveness of the Qin army is also constantly improving, which makes Peng Yue sit on pins and needles, 5,000 thieves, want to eat and drink, different affiliations, there are not a few who do not like each other, and there are more and more incidents of infighting and pulling knives, which makes Peng Yue irritable.

On September 11, Peng Yue, who couldn't bear his anger at first, made an appointment to fight against Li Yuan in front of the battle.

Generals in front of the battle, a duel such an event is not uncommon in the era of cold weapons, Peng Yue also has full confidence in his own force, defeated Li Yuan, his prestige among the group of thieves will only be higher, and then it will be much smoother to suppress some disobedient thieves.

Peng Yue is this purpose, Li Yuan is also struggling with how to quickly establish the prestige of the army, and the long-term confrontation with the thieves, Li Yuan is not completely without pressure, Liu Bangjun's westward advance is imminent, and there will be fish in the water, if it is blocked in the beam for a long time, it will not be good.

At noon, the two armies lined up on the banks of the river, the Qin army in the west, and the robbers in the east.

Peng Yue is about thirty years old, nearly one meter eighty-five tall, half a head taller than Li Yuan, full of beard, a pair of leopard eyes like copper bells, his appearance is extremely terrifying, and the timid person stands in front of him, afraid that he can't even speak.

"Li Yuanxiao'er, a certain Peng Zhong came to seek revenge for his brother Ji Xin, and now you and I will fight it out, how about it?" Peng Yue's voice was like a bell, and he strode out, trying to take the lead.

"Leader Peng, strong!"

"Kill the Qin thief!"

The group of thieves believed in Liliang, and when they saw that Peng Yue was full of momentum, they shouted loudly and applauded Peng Yue's actions.

Compared with the chaotic shouts of the thieves, the soldiers of the Qin army were silent, and the soldiers who were bound by strict military discipline had their faces flushed, and their weapons were clenched with both hands, trying their best to suppress their anger.

"Peng Zhong, are you Lingyou? Shouting so loudly. Li Yuanchang stepped forward, his expression was cold, and his voice was not loud, but it was enough for people to hear it clearly. The greatest test since the crossing is ahead, and there is no room for the slightest negligence. His eyes were already filled with murderous intent, and the back of his right hand, which was holding one end of the copper spear, was also bulging with green tendons, just like the hideous scale armor on the back of a crocodile.

"What do you say? How dare you scold me, thief. Peng Yue stared at a pair of bull's eyes, as if he couldn't believe his ears, Li Yuan's age looked ten years younger than him, and he was one size smaller, such an opponent in Peng Yue's mind, it was not a problem to defeat, as for whether to leave a life depends on his Uncle Peng's mood. Now, Li Yuan dared to provoke, and he simply didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

"Who is the thief scolding?" Li Yuan repeated it without hesitation.

"The thief scolded you!" Peng Yue, who hadn't realized that he had been fooled, followed closely, and when he found out that something was wrong, it was too late, where could he get his words back.

"Look for death!" Peng Yue rushed at Li Yuan angrily, stabbing Li Yuan in the face with a sword in his hand, if he didn't have the upper hand in words, then he would divide the victory and defeat under his hands.

Li Yuan's pupils contracted, his footsteps changed and moved, the round shield in his left hand went up, and the copper spear in his right hand went down like lightning towards Peng Yue, the sword and shield roared, and what surprised Peng Yue was that on Liliang, Li Yuan seemed to be on par with him!

"Come again!" Peng Yue's eyes swept over the eager flames, and his body frustrated slightly, and after letting go of the spear, he immediately did not retreat but advanced.

"Phew!"

Li Yuan should have shouted, suddenly abandoned the shield, and stabbed at Peng Yue with both hands with the copper spear in his hand in a face-meeting attitude, the sharp tip of the spear tore through the air and let out a sharp roar.

The collision on Liliang just now made his heart churn, and it was stronger than Liliang or Peng Yue. At this time, Li Yuan no longer had any distracting thoughts in his heart, he turned a blind eye to the sharp sword that was stabbed in the chest, and fought for his life, even if he was pierced through the heart by a sword, he would also assassinate the opponent with a spear.
