Chapter 365: Peng Yue Liwei
(Thanks to see_an Alliance for the tip!) )
The strategy of the rioters.
In this era, it is mostly used by some rogue armed forces, as well as when Chen Sheng and Wu Guang tried to sweep the people and resist powerful opponents.
Generally speaking, it is unlikely that the strong side will use the violent army against the weaker enemy. Han Xin's strategy in Qidi, it can be said that not only Xiang Zhuang did not expect it, but even Li Yuan did not guess that Han Xin would use this method to deal with Zhong Liwu and Xiang Zhuang's two-way attack.
If the riot army succeeds, Han Xin's Qin army will leap from a partial division to a real attack arrow, and with Peng Yue's bandit army attacking from behind, the situation of the Qin and Chu armies on the battlefield on the northern road will be fundamentally reversed.
Zhong Liwu and Xiang Zhuang actually had some understanding of the real dynamics of the Qin army on the north bank of Jishui, and the Chu army sent many scout teams to investigate, and they were able to learn about the turbulent situation in Qi from some of the left-behind officials of the Chu State who had fled, but this kind of matter involving local security was mostly handled by internal affairs officials and local county lieutenants.
A group of chaotic people with wooden sticks and hoes, plus some scattered Qin army scattered in the four fields, there was smoke everywhere and turmoil everywhere, and if the Chu army really sent troops to recruit and suppress, it was really impossible to start.
As the chief general of the Chu army in the Jishui area, Xiang Zhuang was trying his best to solve Zhong Liwu and take over the Changshan army, but he didn't know that a crisis was coming to the head of the Chu army on the bank of Jishui.
――。
In the Battle of the Chasm and the Battle of Jishui, there was a person's name that was mentioned one after another, but it seemed that it was only mentioned for a while, and there was no chance to really make an appearance.
In fact, it is precisely because of his existence that the already tilted balance between Qin and Chu is even more tilted to the side of Qin, and this person is Peng Yue.
Almost at the same time that the battle of the chasm was fought to the most critical and the battle of Jishui reached a stalemate, it was located in Juye Zezhong at the junction of Qin and Chu. It is also turbulent and bloody.
Summer.
Located at the junction of Qin and Chu, Juyeze is overgrown with reeds and weeds, providing a natural shelter for the thieves hiding in it.
At this time in previous years, as the leader of the thieves and the old thieves, Peng Yue would hold a meeting where the thieves from all walks of life would gather in order to divide their respective areas of activity, and at the same time, plan if there was a large-scale encirclement and suppression of officers and soldiers. How to deal with it, and this time, Peng Yue, who has officially decided to be included in the Qin army sequence, has other plans.
To be a free king of thieves, or to submit to Qin and become a part of the Qin army, in the past seven years, Peng Yue has been hesitating in anxiety, and it is this yearning for freedom that makes him miss the best opportunity to return to Qin again and again.
Knowing people and being heroes before they get up.
Only by fighting the country together can you become the king's henchman and general in troubled times.
It's a pity. Although Peng Yue and Li Yuan have known each other for a long time, it is obvious that Peng Yue does not have the same luck as Wang Shang, Luo Jia and others, or rather. He is short-sighted and does not know the true heroes.
When Daliang first met Li Yuan, Peng Yue had the opportunity to defect, but at that time Li Yuan was just a small military marquis. can't let Peng Yue, who was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, surrender; While in Xingyang, Peng Yue joined Liu Bang's Western Expeditionary Army and became an opponent with Li Yuan again. During this period, he almost broke the city, although Peng Yue later saw through Lao Liu's plan and left with his team, but he also missed Li Yuan again.
Then, Li Yuan raised troops in the pass, Peng Yue hibernated in Daze, and the two never intersected again, until the eastward expansion of the Qin State and the retreat of Xiang Yu's Chu army in the Tiger Prison Pass, Peng Yue suddenly realized, looked back at his former opponent, and found that he had missed the opportunity to become the founding minister again and again.
This time, Peng Yue finally made up his mind.
Luo Yang saw Li Yuan, and after some talking, Peng Yue's fear of retaliation was swept away, and he also knew that the strength of the Qin State was unstoppable. If you defect to the Qin State in such a small fight, it can be said that it will be difficult to get ahead, so it is inevitable to co-opt these bandits and form an army with unified command.
The sun is in the sky.
On the point platform built with bamboo and logs, there are many heroes from all over Daze and waters, among which in addition to the robbers in the area of Junozawa, there are even individual bandit leaders from the area of Liangshanbo and Baiyangbo, these two places are the same as Junoze, both of which have a large area of water, which can allow thieves to hide when they encounter encirclement and suppression.
The group of thieves sat on the ground in a chaotic manner, and the leaders who sat around the humble point platform were all leaders with a little strength, and as for the ordinary thieves, they avoided them far away, and would not come up and touch any mold.
Peng Yue stood up slowly, his footsteps stepped heavily on the wooden bamboo platform, making a squeaky sound, after coming to the front of the stage, Peng Yue coughed, a pair of ring-eyes scanned the thieves, showing the momentum of the king of the group of thieves, his action made the group of thieves gradually hold their breath, and they all looked at Peng Yue.
To the surprise of the group of thieves, in addition to Peng Yue's solemn and stern demeanor, there was also his full body dress, a black armor of a Qin army general, a crimson cloak, and a standard sword at his waist, all showing an unusual atmosphere.
"What's the matter, the king, why are you wearing a Qin army's clothes?" Some of the thieves who had come from afar asked their companions who had arrived earlier, somewhat bewildered.
"Hey, you don't know yet, the king has decided to join Qin, I heard that Wuhou made the king a general, look at today's frame, the king is going to swear to the east?" A guy who thought he was smart shook his head.
"Eastern Crusade, war with the State of Chu, with our people, if we really fight with the overlord of Chu, how can we fight?" The leader of a small shili hung his head and echoed.
Just when the group of thieves in the audience were discussing, Peng Yue shouted murderously: "Brothers, at today's conference, Peng has something to inform you, from now on, I, Peng Yue, will officially return to the Qin State, this armor, as well as the swords, and the weapons piled up behind the stage, are all ordered by Wuhou himself to support us." ”
Peng Yue's words shouted, the group of thieves immediately became a mess, robbers and officers and soldiers, has always been a hostile two interests, in recent years, between the robbers and Qin, Chu and the two countries, large and small encirclement and suppression and counter-encirclement and suppression uninterrupted, especially those close to the border of Qin or simply active in the territory of Qin, and the Qin army is as deep as the sea.
"King, if you really surrender to the Qin State, we will not accompany you, the harsh military discipline of the Qin State, we who are used to it are not used to it."
"That's it, my lord, I still won't vote for the Qin State, and continue to make a free and easy livelihood on this Daze."
Hearing the opposition, Peng Yue's face was extremely gloomy, he leaned down slightly, and glanced at the deputy general Hu Yu who was standing next to him, Hu Yu immediately dodged down, and joined a group of sturdy men who approached the few people who made different sounds.
After a while, a few unknown guys who had just been clamoring loudly to continue to be thieves were dragged out under the noses of the thieves.
After a while, several screams came, making the faces of the thieves who heard it change greatly. They didn't expect that Peng Yue would be so cold-blooded and ruthless to treat their partners who drank and ate meat together in the past.
Seeing that the thieves looked at each other, Peng Yue said sharply: "Brothers, heaven and hell, there is only one way to go, you choose for yourself." However, I can guarantee that anyone who follows to the Qin State will be my Peng Yue's own brother, and when the time comes, if I Peng Yue eats a bite, there will be everyone to eat, and the big guys will share the blessings and difficulties. ”
From thieves to regular army.
This step is indeed a big step, and it also makes some thieves who are accustomed to freedom feel unacceptable, but this step of transformation, Peng Yue has a firm idea, not only him, but also the two deputy generals Hu Yu and Luan Bu are also in favor of joining Qin, and now Chu is still an obstacle on the road to the unification of Qin, and these thieves are still available for Qin, if they can make contributions to the war to break Chu, they can be regarded as having advanced capital.
On the contrary, if they continue to be cowards, when the Qin army defeats the Chu army, then they will be the targets of the thieves, and at that time, it is estimated that there is no possibility for them to surrender to Qin. (To be continued......)
