Liu Bang, who was preparing to attack the Qin army head-on outside Luoyang City, suddenly turned pale with shock after receiving the news of the loss of Baogukou, and was stunned in his seat and opened his mouth wide for a long time.

Hanzhong is his heart and soul, and it is the only place where he Liu Bang can gain a foothold, but he was attacked by this hateful Han Xinsheng with tricks, how can he not be sad, how can he not be sad and indignant.

Liu Bang beat his chest and cried bitterly, not caring at all about maintaining the prestige of the Han King in front of the ministers. He is indeed sad enough, when he was in Xianyang City, it was Han Xin who shattered his dream of Guanzhong Wang, and now he finally saved this family business in Hanzhong, but he still refuses to let go of himself. Could it be that he is really the nemesis of his own life?

Liu Bang looked up to the sky and sighed, he was forced to do this, what is the fun of this Han king.

Seeing Liu Bang so out of shape, Cao Shen and the others in the tent looked at each other, not knowing what to do. On this expedition, Xiao He and Xiahou Ying stayed in the middle of Nanzheng Juzhong to supply the army with food and grass, while Cao Shen set up an ambush outside Luoyang City as a marching Sima and deputy marshals Peng Yue and Fan Xu.

They lay in ambush at the old road of Chencang for many days, and the scouts sent there reported that they had found traces of the Qin army in the old road. After getting the news, Liu Bang and the others were all very excited, thinking that the Qin army really wanted to smuggle in from Chen Cang's old road, but they didn't expect that this was Han Xin's ploy at all, and they just sent a small group of Qin troops to pretend to be the vanguard of the army with great fanfare to attract Liu Bang's attention.

The march of this Qin army was unusually slow, and it was very slow to stop and go. Because the Qin army was heavily guarded, the scouts of the Han army did not dare to get too close, and they could only watch from a distance and could not see it really, so they could only roughly estimate that the Qin army was more than 20,000 people from the number of buried stoves in the army, and it was appropriate to be the vanguard of the Qin army.

Liu Bang waited patiently for more than ten days at first, and the more he waited, the more he felt that something was wrong, thinking about when Han Xin became so slow, even a general who was not in the stream should know the truth that the soldiers are fast. When Liu Bang couldn't bear it and wanted to take the initiative, the news of the loss of Baogukou came. Only then did I suddenly realize that this Qin army was simply a disguise, not to mention 20,000 people, I am afraid that there may not even be 2,000 people.

Sadness is sadness, regret is regret, the most important thing for the Han army to do at the moment is to quickly return to Nanzheng, maybe they can return to the division before the Qin army surrounds Nanzheng, so that they can have the strength to fight.

Cao Shen and Peng Yue both looked at Fan Xu, the meaning is self-evident, in terms of intimacy, Fan Xu, as a brother-in-law, is naturally more suitable than the two to persuade Liu Bang.

Fan Hao looked at Liu Bang, who was sitting on the ground with a scoundrel look, and his face was a little embarrassed. He is Liu Bang's iron buddy since he was a child, and he is naturally clear about the virtue of this Liu Sanye, but with the increasing status, Liu Bang is a lot more serious, and he looks like an earnest elder before and after people.

Fan Hao cleared his throat and said to Liu Bang hesitantly; "I said, big brother, now is not the time to be sad, isn't this to the point where we want to cry."

Liu Bang howled for a moment, then got up with wide eyes, and said with hatred in his eyes; "That's right, we haven't lost yet, we still have a large army in hand!"

"Han Xin, this dog mongrel, wants to force Lao Tzu to death, Lao Tzu just doesn't close his eyes and waits for death, if he wants to swallow us, how can he break off a few of his teeth."

"Peng Yue!"

"The end will be." Peng Yue strode forward and shouted; "King Han, please command."

"Pass my military order, the whole army will pull out the camp, and rush to Nanzheng, if there is a delay in disobeying the order, there will be no forgiveness!"

"No." Peng Yue replied loudly, but as soon as the words fell, his face showed a trace of hesitation, and his footsteps did not move immediately.

This hint of hesitation fell into Liu Bang's eyes, and he shouted a little angrily; "Peng Yue, you kid

If you want to disobey your orders, you are so big. ”

Peng Yue saw that Liu Bang was angry with him, and hurriedly waved his hand to explain; "Pei Gong, oh no, King Han, I didn't mean that, don't get me wrong."

"I'm just worried that the Qin army will set up an ambush on the way, so that not only will we not be able to return to Nanzheng, but we will bury the army we rely on."

Fan Xu snorted and sneered, "Peng Yue, your courage is too small, how can you be afraid of tigers and wolves like you." The battle report from Zhou Bo is not clearly written, the Qin army is gathering in Baogukou to prepare to go south, Baogukou is four hundred miles away from here, and he Han Xin is not an immortal, he can fly if he wants to. ”

Peng Yue didn't dare to be rude to Liu Bang, but he was not so polite to Fan Xu, a subordinate, and glared at Fan Xu angrily and said; "Put your mother's shit, how can we still make a little mistake in our current situation, it's better to be careful than to lose your head carelessly."

Peng Yue is different from Fan Xu, Xiahou Ying, and Zhou Bo, he followed Liu Bang halfway, while Fan Hao and the three were Liu Bang's old brothers in Pei County. Peng Yue is extremely strategic, and he is good at using tactics that are especially good at guerrilla attacks, so he was reused by Liu Bang, who was wise and talented, as the first general in the army, ranking ahead of Fan Xu.

In this way, there was a lot of contradictions, and the three of them naturally looked down on Peng Yue, who came later, in every way, and usually didn't dare to do it too obviously because of Liu Bang's face, but secretly they didn't stumble on him. Today, Fan Xu's good brother Zhou Bo lost Baogukou and saw that he was going to be unlucky, so he naturally took it for granted that Peng Yue was gloating, so he ridiculed him.

Liu Bang glanced at Fan Xuan and scolded angrily; "Don't be a soft egg in front of me, Zhou Bo is a soft egg, he was killed this time, I'll clean him up when I go back."

looked at Peng Yue again and said; "It's right that you have to be careful, but now we must return to Nanzheng as soon as possible, once the Qin army goes south and surrounds Nanzheng before us, there is no city as a barrier in the wilderness at that time, I don't think we can beat the Qin army."

Peng Yue hesitated, what Liu Bang said was indeed reasonable, he had to rush to Nanzheng before the Qin army went south, so that he could have a chance to fight. Finally nodded and said; "King Han, please also send an envoy to urge Zhou Bo to be careful and careful, if there is any movement of the Qin army opposite him, he must report to us quickly."

Liu Bang waved his hand a little impatiently, "I know, you hurry up and prepare for the return of aid, you don't have to worry about the rest, Zhou Bo's big eyes are not blind, how could he not notice if the Qin army went south." ”

Peng Yue saw that Liu Bang's face was displeased, and he didn't dare to say more, so he had to retreat in a hurry.

In addition to leaving 3,000 people in Luoyang to defend the Qin army in the old road, the rest of the army hurriedly pulled out the camp and rushed to Nanzheng. Hanzhong County is not very large, and it is only 300 miles from Luoyang to Nanzheng, and it can be reached in two days if you march quickly. And Zhou Bo, who was refusing to defend in the north, did not report any movement of the Qin army, so Liu Bang didn't pay too much attention to it.

He didn't know that Zhou Bo was already unable to protect himself at this time, and after Han Xin led part of the Qin army to cross the stream through the vine bridge, he immediately launched an attack on Baozhong City, completely cutting off the road to the west of Baozhong. Zhou Bo was afraid of the Qin army, where did he dare to defend the city, and took advantage of the darkness to abandon the city with more than 5,000 remnants and fled to Nanzheng, and the messengers he sent were all intercepted and killed by the skilled rangers in the Qin army.

After a short stay of two days, Han Xin gathered the 30,000 troops that had already crossed the stream and went south, ordering Li Zuoche to hold the valley mouth, while he and Yingbu himself rushed to intercept Liu Bang with a large army. The Qin army is fierce towards the southwest defense line! intervened, and finally intercepted Liu Bang's army that was rushing to Nanzheng on the way.

Han Xin immediately took the opportunity to lead the Qin army to rush towards the Han army violently, cutting off the Han army that stretched for dozens of miles, so that the Han army could not care about each other. The sudden appearance of the Qin army made the Han soldiers panic, and many of them even threw down their weapons and turned around and fled for their lives up the mountain, while the Qin army, which had high morale, rushed to kill in all directions in the Han army.

Liu Bang's carriage was in the center of the line at this time. In the past few days, he has not eaten well and slept well, and he is worried about the safety of Hanzhong day and night, and finally sleeps a little on the bumpy carriage, but he hears a commotion outside in a daze. Hurriedly opened the curtain and stood out, only to see his army being killed by the Qin army's ghosts crying wolf howling and scattering in all directions.

Liu Bang opened his mouth wide, and before he could come back to his senses, he was discovered by the sharp-eyed Yingbu. When he was in Chu for a long time, he was naturally very familiar with Liu Bang, and when he saw a person wearing a red robe in the carriage from a distance, he guessed that it was Liu Bang. With a roar of excitement, he rushed towards the carriage with his subordinates.

Liu Bang had come back to his senses at this time, and hurriedly got back into the carriage in a panic and shouted to the coachman; "Run."

The coachman was about to whip the carriage away, but was shot in the arm by a flying stream, and screamed on the frame. Seeing this, Liu Bang hurriedly got out of the carriage again, pushed the coachman in his hand down, and he himself set up the carriage and whipped to escape, while shouting loudly in his mouth; "Help, save the widow."

Yingbu saw that Liu Bang was about to escape, but at this time, he couldn't catch up from too far away, so he threw out the big knife in his hand in a hurry and flew towards Liu Bang in the distance.

Liu Bang was running wildly with a whip, and when he saw the soldiers behind him shouting loudly, he couldn't help but look back, but saw a big knife flying towards him in the air, and he was suddenly frightened and cold, and shouted in his heart; My life is at stake.

said that it was too late, and when Liu Bang closed his eyes and waited for death, a big iron cone flew across the air and smashed the big knife that had flown in front of Liu Bang. The big knife lost its accuracy and thrust into the carriage fiercely, narrowly passing through Liu Bang's scalp and penetrating in, Liu Bangyuan opened his eyes and only felt a few traces of green silk falling from his forehead, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble.

A loud roar rang out; "Hugh injured my Han king, Fan Hao will die in this Qin." The tower-like Fan Hao slammed out and rushed towards Yingbu, fighting him in a mess.

At this time, Peng Yue, who had been rescued from the former army, had also arrived, and he saw Liu Bang's pale face trembling on the carriage, so he hurriedly stepped forward and dismounted to help Liu Bang up, and asked; "King Han, where did you get hurt?"

Liu Bang twisted his head with difficulty, and his teeth still couldn't help but tremble; "Where is my head?"

Peng Yue replied in a deep voice: "King Han rest assured, with Peng Yue here, he will be able to protect you." ”

Liu Bang nodded stiffly, then relieved himself, and hurriedly grabbed Peng Yue's hand and asked; "What are we going to do now, what are we going to do?"

Peng Yue groaned; "Our army is already in chaos, and only by abandoning the rear army can we keep the rest of the troops. King Han, you will flee in the direction of Nanzheng with the front army, and after I stay, I see that the number of Qin troops is not very large, and there must be no time to divide troops to chase after me. ”

Liu Bang nodded again and again, and said gratefully; "Okay, thank you for your loyalty today, I will give you whatever you want after returning to Nanzheng, and I will never break my word."

Peng Yue was unmoved, just arched his hand and said; "The king of Han doesn't need to thank me for the matter of being loyal to the king." After speaking, he patted his horse and led the troops to meet Yingbu, and Liu Bang quickly whipped and drove away.

At this time, Fan Xuzheng and Yingbu were inseparable, both of them were fierce generals with infinite strength, and they couldn't distinguish between them and inferiority in martial arts for a while, so they had to fight together and no one could help anyone.

Peng Yue waved a big knife and stepped forward to pick up Yingbu, and shouted at Fan Xu; "I'll leave it to me here, you go and escort King Han."

Fan said in a rough voice; "Okay, you have to be careful, this guy Yingbu is not inferior to me in martial arts." After speaking, he turned his horse's head forward and chased Liu Bang, who was desperately escaping.

Relying on Peng Yue's desperate resistance, Yingbu's momentum was interrupted, and he turned to fight with Peng Yue's troops and had no time to take care of Liu Bang, who had fled. It wasn't until Han Xin's department solved the rear of the Han army and came back to attack that Peng Yue couldn't resist it, and the Han army after the break was annihilated, and he himself was captured by the Qin army.

Han Xin brought all the foot soldiers, and he had no speed advantage over the Han army, and Liu Bang's ability to escape was first-class, and the Qin army had to return in vain after chasing for a long time, allowing the Han army to escape nearly half of its troops.

When Peng Yue, who was tied up with five flowers, was picked in by Qin Bing with a stick, Han Xin couldn't help but laugh when he saw his funny appearance.

"General Peng, don't come unharmed, you and I haven't seen each other for many years."

Peng Yue's martial arts are strong, and the Qin army killed many soldiers in order to capture him alive, and finally captured him alive with a cloth net under the leadership of Yingbu, so he was tied up with a net and sent to Han Xin. Peng Yue, who was in the net, glared at Han Xin viciously and roared; "Han Xinxiaoer, don't want to humiliate your Grandpa Peng, rely on conspiracies to calculate what ability, if you have the ability, let's have a clear competition."

As soon as the words came out, Peng Yue immediately regretted it, and sure enough, Han Xin looked at him with a smile and said; "Do you mean that you want to compete with me, otherwise, if you lose, you will be submissive to me, and if you win, I will immediately pat your ass and let you go."

Han Xin and Peng Yue have not tried, Peng Yue already knew that he was not Han Xin's opponent when he robbed his relatives three years ago, so he already regretted it when he said it in passing. Seeing Han Xin looking at himself and smiling ill-willedly, he snorted coldly and turned his head, "You die of this heart, I, Peng Yue, am a person who values faith and righteousness, and the King of Han has the grace of knowing me, and I will never betray him." ”

"If you want to kill or chop, listen to it, if it is Zou Mei, I Peng Yue will be your grandson."

Han Xin didn't want to kill Peng Yue, although he only had a one-sided relationship with Peng Yue, he was deeply impressed by his commitment to keep his promises, and he had some appreciation for this upright man in his heart.

Know yourself and know your opponent, and fight endlessly. Han Xin attached great importance to the collection of intelligence on enemy generals, so he knew that Peng Yue was a rare general, and he helped Liu Bang to fight the country in several battles. Only then did he have the idea of subduing him, and repeatedly told him to capture Peng Yuesheng.

And Peng Yue is different from Xiao He, Fan Hao and others, he is not Liu Bang's die-hard loyalist, the reason why he is loyal to Liu Bang is just because of Liu Bang's superb means of winning people's hearts. If you want Peng Yue to die for Liu Bang, you only need to make the two of them suspicious in their hearts.

Han Xin's eyes turned, he had already made up his mind in his heart, and suddenly drew his sword and slashed at Peng Yue. Peng Yue was stunned, thinking that Han Xin was angry and wanted to kill him, so he closed his eyes and waited for death. But he heard the sound of 'brushing' on his body several times, and then his hand was light, and the cloth net on his body also fell off.

Peng Yue stood up, moved his hands that were a little numb, and looked at Han Xindao in disbelief; "Han Xin, what do you mean by that? I know that martial arts can't compare to you, if you want to kill, you will kill, and don't humiliate me here. ”

Han Xin laughed, and said with a smile on the fish intestine sheath; "What am I going to do to kill you? I, Han Xin, have acted in my life, but I have a clear conscience, you are a loyal and trustworthy person, and it is too late for me to respect you in my heart, why should I kill you in a good manner. ”

Peng Yue snorted coldly with disbelief on his face; "Don't play tricks here, aren't you afraid that I will continue to be your enemy when I go back?"

Han Xin said with a smile; "I forgot to tell you, I, Han Xin, am usually extremely conceited, and the only hero in the world who can enter my eyes is Xiang Yu, so why should I be afraid of others."

Peng Yue couldn't help choking, thinking that he was just his subordinate, and he was afraid of what he would do. Seeing that Han Xin's face didn't look like a fake, he asked suspiciously; "Are you really going to let me go?"

Han Xin nodded, "I'm an honest person, don't doubt my character." ”

Peng Yue believed it at this time, and said in his mouth that he still refused to be convinced; "I'll take your love this time, and next time I want to arrest you, I will definitely let you go."

After speaking, Peng Yue's face couldn't help but turn hot, but Han Xin smiled disapprerovingly; "Okay, I'm here to help."

"Someone, bring a horse to General Peng and send him out of the camp."

Although Liu Bang suffered a crushing defeat, he also brought back nearly 40,000 people, and the garrison of Xiahou Ying Nanzheng and the fleeing Zhou Bo still had a full 60,000 troops. But the Han army was already cold under the heavy losses of the Qin army, where did they dare to go out of the city to counterattack, Liu Bang fled back to Nanzheng and closed the city gate, intending to defend the city.

Peng Yue escaped back, but Liu Bang was overjoyed, he still attached great importance to Peng Yue in his heart, and Liu Bang, who was discussing military affairs with Xiao He and them, hurriedly led a team out of the house to personally greet Peng Yue who returned.

When he saw that Peng Yue was just one person and one horse, he couldn't help but be stunned, Liu Bang originally thought that Peng Yue had come out of the encirclement, how could he bring back some troops, so he asked in surprise; "Peng Yue, why are you alone?"

Peng Yue showed a look of shame on his face, and said that he was captured and released by Han Xinsheng.

Liu Bang, Xiahou Ying and the others looked at each other, their faces showed disbelief, and Zhou Bo said in a weird way; "Han Xinhui is so stupid, he actually let the tiger return to the mountain, this is a strange news in the world."

"I'm afraid someone has a different idea!"

Zhou Bo came back from defeat, and Liu Bang was exempted from the charge by relying on the intercession of his brothers, so he was anxious to show his loyalty to Liu Bang, and naturally gloated when he saw that Peng Yue, who had long been discordant, was unlucky.

Peng Yue was furious when he heard this, and glared at Zhou Bodao fiercely; "What kind of bullshit are you putting on, am I Peng Yue this kind of villain?"

Zhou Bo sneered and sneered; "Isn't it best in your heart, anyway, I don't believe Han Xin is so stupid."

At this time, Liu Bang finally spoke; "That's enough, Zhou Bo, shut up for me." looked at Peng Yue again and arched his hand; "This guy is so virtuous, don't take it to heart, I see that you are also tired, it is better to go back and wash and rest first, I still have a lot of places to rely on the general in the future."

Peng Yue hurriedly thanked him in return, and then said goodbye and left. When Peng Yue's back walked away, Xiahou Ying approached Liu Bang with flickering eyes and said; "Big brother, there is something I don't know whether to say or not."

"Say."

"Peng Yue is not our own brother after all, and we may not be the same heart to the end, we should be careful where we should be."

Liu Bang pondered for a long time and said slowly; "I have my own sense of proportion."

"You all remember for me, don't let these words fall into the ears of other people, lest the world think that I, Liu Bang, am narrow-minded and can't tolerate others."

"No!"
