"Captain Peng, I wonder what you think about our next battle?"

Yu Ziqi is now at the same level as Peng Yue, although he is also a member of the faction of foreign relatives, but in this regard, Yu Ziqi does not hold his own identity, and shows some disdain for Peng Yue. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

......

As the former general of the Chu Army who surrendered to Zhang Jiashi, Peng Yue's status in Zhang Jiashi's faction is not low, but in the hearts of many people, he actually looks down on this kind of wall grass. Especially with Peng Yue's background and the fact that before surrendering, he served on the side of the hostile forces, which made most of the civil and military forces under Zhang Jiashi's command have some strange thoughts about Peng Yue.

Of course, many people, including Zang Di, know that Peng Yue once served the Chu people, which is not a big problem, the real problem comes from Peng Yue's background.

When Peng Yue was young, he fished in the wild lakes and rivers, and he teamed up with a gang of people to be robbers.

This point is quite despised by many people who are from regular military backgrounds and even have family blood, and they still look down on Peng Yue. Many people have forgotten one point, that is, Zhang Jiashi himself does not have any different thoughts about these personnel, after all, the experience of many people in the prisoner army under Zhang Jiashi is not much different from Peng Yue.

For example, Yingbu's background is very similar to Peng Yue's, but under Zhang Jiashi, since Yingbu can give full play to his strength, he can be regarded as a smooth progress.

The current Yingbu can be said to be one of the models for all the prisoners in the Great Qin Empire.

And these people didn't dare to have any thoughts about Yingbu and the Prisoner Army, after all, at the beginning, the Prisoner Army could be regarded as the earliest descendant army under Zhang Jiashi.

Zhang Jiashi's earliest official position was the Afang Duwei battalion, and the prisoner army was after the Battle of Yongxian, because of the serious battle losses of the troops under Zhang Jiashi, and was tacitly approved by the First Emperor Yingzheng and became another descendant unit under Zhang Jiashi.

Before going to Liaodong, Zhang Jiashi was under the battalion of Afang Duwei, which had been replenished and rested, and the prisoner army.

No one would deliberately trouble the commander of the boss's real descendant, and at present, Yingbu's military exploits, qualifications, position, and trust in Zhang Jiashi's heart are the envy of a considerable number of middle and senior officers under Zhang Jiashi's command.

And although Peng Yue also had the title of a famous general in troubled times before he surrendered, but more, many people did not compare Peng Yue with Yingbu, if it weren't for Zhang Jiashi's kindness to Peng Yue, many people might be difficult to hold back the cynicism in their hearts.

......

Peng Yue actually has some understanding of such a situation. But he was silent about what happened to him.

For Peng Yue, these cynicisms were actually not a big deal, and Zhang Jiashi had already made clear to him what Zhang Jiashi expected of him before appointing him as the lieutenant of Ba County.

That is, Zhang Jiashi hoped that Peng Yue could rely on his experience to train a mountain infantry unit that was good at guerrilla warfare.

For Zhang Jiashi's arrangement, Peng Yue was still a little dissatisfied at first. However, because he had surrendered to Zhang Jiashi, and this position was not too low for a general, Peng Yue still accepted Zhang Jiashi's arrangement.

However, after leading a part of the troops to Ba County, officially assuming the post of lieutenant of Ba County, and began to train a group of recruits of about 10,000 people, mainly recruited by the aborigines of Ba County, Peng Yue thought that Zhang Jiashi's arrangement was indeed worthy of making the best use of his talents.

Although Peng Yue still has a lot of gaps in the training ability of mountain troops and the comparison with Ah Mian and other Miao people. And because the Ba people often have language communication problems, Peng Yue did not achieve the most basic training in the first two months.

But Peng Yue was not discouraged, but after thinking about it for a night, he decided to change the training method, and after he found two people who knew some of the indigenous languages of Ba County, he continued to train in this area.

I have to say that Peng Yue's change is indeed quite effective in training these Ba people. For Peng Yue himself, completing the task by himself is a promotion qualification to further gain Zhang Jiashi's favor.

In this operation, Peng Yue, who was flowing down the river, did not participate in large-scale battles. However, after integrating some of the subordinates under the command of Zhang Jiashi and the mountain troops composed of the Ba people, Peng Yue also became an existence that many Qin army officers could not ignore.

Yu Zi did not despise Peng Yue, nor did he flatter him too much, because Yu Zi did not need to do this.

However, the calm treatment of Yu Zi made Peng Yue have a good impression of Yu Zi in his heart.

In Peng Yue's heart, there is a feeling of being respected.

This can be regarded as a kind of Peng Yue's character performance, in Zhang Jiashi's original world, Peng Yue also has a corresponding description and evaluation.

In 204 B.C., Peng Yue often haunted the Han Dynasty and sent troops to attack the Chu army, cutting off their backup grain and grass in Liangdi, and was known as "Peng Yue scratching Chu" in history.

In the winter of the same year, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang held each other in Xingyang, and Peng Yue captured 17 cities such as Suiyang and Waihuang. [16] When Xiang Yu heard the news, he sent Cao Zhi to garrison Chenggao, and personally recovered the cities conquered by Peng Yue to the east, and all of them were returned to the Chu State. Peng Yue led his team north to Gucheng.

In the autumn of 203 BC, Xiang Yu's army retreated south to Xiayang, and Peng Yue conquered more than 20 cities next to Changyi, capturing more than 100,000 grains for Liu Bang's army.

After the Chasm Alliance, Liu Bang, who was pursuing the Chu army, lost the battle and sent an envoy to ask Peng Yue to join forces to attack the Chu army. Peng Yue said: "Wei Di has just been pacified, and he is still afraid of the Chu army, so he can't go. ”

Liu Bang raised troops to pursue the Chu army, but was defeated by Xiang Ji in Guling. Then he said to the marquis, "What should we do if the princes' armies do not come with them to join the war?"

Zhang Liang said: "Han Xin, the king of Qi, is self-reliant, it is not your original intention, and Han Xin himself is not at ease. Peng Yue originally pacified Liang Di and made a lot of achievements, but because of Wei Bao, you only appointed Peng Yue as the minister of Wei. Now, Wei Bao died and left no descendants, not to mention that Peng Yue also planned to be king, but you did not make a decision in advance, you and the two countries agreed: if the Chu State is defeated, the land north of Suiyang to each city will be divided to Peng Xiangguo as the king, and from the coastal area east of Chen, it will be divided to Han Xin, the king of Qi. Han Xin, the king of Qi, was in the state of Chu, and his original intention was to get his hometown again. You can offer the land and promise to give it to the two of you, and they will soon be able to bring in, and even if they can't, things won't be utterly hopeless. ”

So Liu Bang sent an envoy to Peng Yue and acted according to the plan of the Marquis. As soon as the envoy arrived, Peng Yue led all his men and horses to join Liu Bang's army under the wall, so the Chu army was defeated. Xiang Yu killed himself. [23] In the spring of that year, Peng Yue was named the king of Liang and built the capital Dingtao.

In 201 BC, Peng Yue went to Chendi to meet Liu Bang. Nine years, ten years, all came to Chang'an to see him.

These descriptions show that Peng Yue certainly has his own selfishness, but Peng Yue also expressed his support for Liu Bang in his own way for Liu Bang's courtesy.

It can be said that Peng Yue is not the kind of person who will take revenge.

As for why Peng Yue rebelled, it is very likely that he was forced to rebel by Liu Bang.

Sima Qian also has a vague description of this in "Historical Records":

"Although Wei Bao and Peng Yue are cheap, they have swept thousands of miles, and the south is called lonely, and they are heard of on the day of victory. With the intention of rebellion, and defeat, he was imprisoned without death, and he was tortured and killed, what is it? Zhongcai has been on the top and ashamed of his deeds, and the king is the king! He has no strange reason, his wisdom is unique, and he has no body and ears. Get the handle of the size, its cloud steaming dragon changes, want to know its degree, so the prisoner does not give up the clouds. ”

"He is no different, he is wise, and he has no body and ears. This sentence is in a big way, that is, Peng Yue himself should have no intention of rebelling, but after Liu Bang became emperor, because of the influence of many factors, he forced most of the princes and kings, including Peng Yue, and gradually weakened the power of the princes and kings, including Han Xin, and then captured them in one fell swoop.

In terms of character tactics, Peng Yue was the first military strategist in the history of world warfare to formally use guerrilla warfare tactics, and can be said to be the ancestor of guerrilla warfare. In terms of military strategy and command ability, he is inferior to Han Xin, but in terms of merit, he is even better. In the Chu-Han War, it was precisely because he led his troops to carry out guerrilla warfare in the rear of the Chu army, striking at the supply of the Chu State, and using the tactics of the enemy advancing and retreating, and the enemy retreating and chasing me, so that Xiang Yu was tired of fighting on both sides, so that the food and equipment of the Chu army could not be supplied, and also gave the front-line Han army the opportunity not to be annihilated by Xiang Yu.

According to Yingbu, after rebelling against the Han Dynasty, he said a sentence that was quite pertinent and evaluated Peng Yue's ability:

"The old man is tired of soldiers, and he will not come. So that the generals, the generals are alone with Huaiyin and Peng Yue, and now they are all dead, and there is no fear left. ”

It can be said that in Yingbu's eyes, he didn't pay attention to many generals in the Han Dynasty, but he was afraid of Liu Bang's pro-Zheng and Han Xin, Peng Yue, otherwise he would not have said such words.

And the thing that can best reflect Peng Yue's military ability is also to let Peng Yue deserve to enjoy the martial temple: in the third year of the Tang Dynasty (782 AD), Yan Zhenqing, the ceremonial envoy, suggested to Tang Dezong that 64 ancient famous generals should be posthumously crowned and set up temples for them to enjoy, including "Peng Yue, King of Han Liang". [42] In the fifth year of Xuanhe in the Song Dynasty (1123 AD), the Song dynasty built temples for ancient famous generals in accordance with the practice of the Tang Dynasty, and Peng Yue was also included among the 72 famous generals.

......

After taking a deep breath, Peng Yue said to Yu Ziqi: "Yu Junshou, this matter is indeed feasible, but although Xiang Ji is not in the Chu army camp at this time, the combat strength of the Chu army is not something we can easily defeat. This matter needs to be discussed carefully. ”

After Yu Ziqi nodded slightly, he showed a somewhat sly smile.

Peng Yue saw this situation and couldn't help but be a little puzzled, he didn't think that Yu Ziqi was laughing at what he just said, but it was very clear that Yu Ziqi seemed to have a different idea.

After looking at Yu Ziqi for a while, he asked Yu Ziqi: "I don't know how Yu County guards...... What's the best idea?"

At this time, Yu Ziqi took out a bag from his arms, and he said to Peng Yue: "The king sent someone to come the day before yesterday to give Yu this bag, which is really a clever plan arranged by the king. I have to say that if the Chu army knew about this clever plan, he would definitely do everything possible to intercept and kill this messenger. ”

Yu Zi's words made Peng Yue's doubts even more profound. He then asked Yu Ziqi: "I don't know what this trick is?"

"Besieged but not attacked, embattled!"

Yu Ziqi said eight words lightly. And Peng Yue couldn't help but gasp after thinking about it.

Because he quickly thought of how vicious Zhang Jiashi's strategy was.

Of course, this viciousness is the case for those Chu officers and soldiers.

...................................................... Dividing line ..........................................

Zhang Jiashi did not regret arranging the messenger himself, and let Yu Ziqi and others implement the tactics that did not exist in this world.

He knew the ability of Yi Yuzi and others, so naturally he didn't need to go into too much detail. For example, Peng Yue and others can naturally understand the meaning of the eight words he described, and know how they should arrange such a thing.

For Zhang Jiashi, it seems that he doesn't need to use this kind of strategy to be able to solve the Chu army, but after thinking about it for a while, Zhang Jiashi still doesn't want his officers and soldiers to pay quite heavy casualties, so the best way is to let the Chu army collapse without a fight.

The tactic of embattled is one of the best ways to make the Chu army collapse without a fight.

Perhaps, the food cut is also a means to make the Chu army lose its combat effectiveness. However, for the sake of the stability of ruling Chu, if a large number of Chu officers and soldiers were starved to death by starving to death by starving them to death, more might only make the resentment between Qin and Chu more and more profound.

Zhang Jiashi naturally didn't want this to happen, so for him, the best way was to let the Chu army rout on its own with fewer casualties.

But what Zhang Jiashi didn't expect was that because of the time gap, the messenger he sent did not receive the key news that "Xiang Ji is not in Chuying".

To a large extent, this is also the key to being caught off guard by Xiang Yu in the subsequent period of confrontation.

But for Zhang Jiashi, there are many situations that do not mean that he can do whatever he wants.

At least in terms of the mobility of Xiang Yu's knight troops, even if he and Li Xin were both prepared, Xiang Yu might still be able to find an opportunity to attack like in the Battle of Suishui.
