Chapter 159: Peng Yue raised troops to help Pei Gong
In the north of Juye County, Heze City, Shandong Province, there is a place known as Dayozawa, where there are two Jiangyang thieves who rob houses, one is called Peng Yue, and the other is called Luan Bu.
Onozawa is the confluence of Guji water, which is connected to Raza in the west, Heze in the southwest, Jishui in the northeast, and flows into the sea in the northeast economic south; The southeast out of the yellow water into the Heshui, through the Surabaya, into the Huai, into the sea. Because of the convenience of transportation, aquatic products are abundant, and it has been a place for the survival of the ancestors since ancient times. "Shu Yu Gong": "The big field is both in the air. "Zhou Li, Staff" Yanzhou: "Qi Ze Xue said Daye. "Erya" cloud: Ohnozawa and Juno Ze are two names. Before the Han Dynasty, the literature called Ono, and in the "Historical Records", it began to be called Junoze. Onozawa is also one of the birthplaces of the Yandi clan, and the Yandi Chiyou led the eighty-one clans to live around Onozawa. In the spring and autumn period, Junoze is in the west, north and east of the present-day Juye City, which is in the shape of a gate, and the water surrounds the city. Ze is about 100 miles long from east to west and about 30 miles wide from north to south. Onozawa is the land of "West Hunting and Harvesting Lin", according to the "Spring and Autumn Period" in the 14th year of Lu Ai Gong (481 BC): "Spring, West Hunting and Harvesting Lin." The detailed explanation of "Zuo Biography" is: "In the spring of the fourteenth year, the west hunted in the wilderness. The uncle and grandson's car merchant won Lin, thinking that it was ominous, so as to give Yu people. Zhong Ni looked at it and said: 'Lin Ye! Then take it. "The Legend of the Ram" is explained in detail: "The one who is the lin, the benevolent beast, the one who has the king will come, and the one who has no king will not come." Those who have told him will say, 'There is one who comes.' Confucius said, 'Who is coming?' What a come! 'Wipe your face and sobs. …… When the West hunted for Lin, Confucius said: 'My way is poor! So this Onozawa is very famous, and the giant is also a big one, so it is also known as Junozawa, Junozawa, and Hironozawa, and it is one of the ancient nine Ze.
Later, when more people gathered in Zezhong, Peng Yue pulled up a team, and they made a living from fishing. Peng Yue and Luan Bu have known each other for a long time, and in order to escape the conscription of the Qin State, they hid here several years ago and occupied Ze as kings. After Chen Sheng's uprising, some young people were also eager to try. When King Chu Huai's inscription was posted in Changyi County, the children of the heroes in the county gathered together to discuss the anti-Qin matter with Peng Yue. Peng Yue said: "The matter of raising troops is very important, you must not take it lightly!" This group of young people came to the momentum, and said emotionally: "Didn't you say last year: The Qin State and other countries are equal in power, and it is impossible to say who wins and who loses, as if two dragons are fighting, and they have to wait until both are defeated!" Now that all the land has been raised, how long are you going to wait? Why don't you go to King Chu Huai? Peng Yue didn't speak. The boys pleaded again and again. Peng Yue then agreed with everyone: "If you really want me to take the lead, please report to Onozawa before the sun comes out early tomorrow morning, and anyone who is late will be beheaded!" The boys said yes.
But by the next day, the sun had already risen, and dozens of people had not yet arrived. Peng Yue waited for them slowly, and selected a few more captains. At this time, those who were late came to report in twos and threes, and the latest one did not come until noon. Peng Yue looked at everyone's lazy and lazy appearance, and said apologetically: "I'm old and useless, but you have to ask me to be your head uprising, so I dare to make an appointment with you." But you are deliberately late, and if you follow yesterday's agreement, those who are late will be beheaded. But there are too many people who are late, and you can't kill them all, you can only kill the last one who arrives! So he ordered the captain to find the last man to arrive. The man didn't take it seriously, so he came out scolding and shaking his head, still looking indifferent. Peng Yue looked at him and said: "A man's words don't count, it's like a farmer's black donkey farting, which can only make people dislike!" If this fart of yours can stink everyone, borrow your head! So he ordered the captain to be executed. The captain looked at Peng Yue and said with a smile: "Forget it, why take it so seriously?" We haven't treated you as a general yet, so you won't dare in the future! Peng Yue was furious when he saw that the captain did not carry out the order, so he personally killed the late man and cut off his head to order his subordinates.
As a result, everyone was terrified, hundreds of people were so frightened that they fell to their knees together, and the captain didn't even dare to look up at Peng Yue. Peng Yue saw that everyone had already obeyed, so he and Luan Bu gave orders, advocating that everyone officially raise troops against Qin. The news soon spread throughout the nearby counties, and people from near and far came to join the army. Peng Yue pulled up a team of more than 2,000 people in one fell swoop. Peng Yue then ordered the army to build weapons and armor while searching for horses, and set up machinery and equipment in Daze as a base to resist Qin. At this time, everyone was excited, and everyone was vying to be the first. Peng Yue ordered again: "Soldiers, once the army is raised, we are all soldiers, and if there is a war in the future, you must participate in the battle!" If anyone disobeys, it will be done by military law! The sergeants shouted in unison: "General Peng! General Peng! ……”
The defeated soldiers of Chengyang fled back to Dongjun and reported to Wang Li that the Zhu brothers had been killed. Wang Li was furious when he heard this, so he vowed to kill Liu Bang first, and then destroy Song Yi, so he ordered Shejian and Hehuan to lead 5,000 soldiers as the vanguard, with Jiang Yun as the left army and Wang Sen as the right army, and marched to Chengyang after leaving the south gate.
When Pei Gong heard that Wang Li had been dispatched, he hurriedly convened a military meeting. Xiao He said: "In the art of war, there is 'when the enemy's sharp spirit is strong, you must find a way to avoid him'." Wang Li led the elite of the north, and fought very bravely, they were less than eighty miles from here, and if they marched hastily, they would have reached overnight, so we should avoid the edge, retreat south, and then choose favorable terrain and set up an ambush to defeat them. Pei Gong ordered the army and horses to leave Chengyang and move south.
When the people heard that Pei Gong was leaving, they helped the old and the young to stop the carriage and horses and not let them go. Pei Gong explained the situation to the people, who expected that the people heard that the Qin army was going to kill, not only did not escape, but stayed to follow Pei Gong. Pei Gong said: "You are not guilty, and Wang Li will not kill you, but if you follow my army, once Wang Li catches up, there will be eggs under the nest?" You'd better get out of here, right? Several old men wept bitterly and said: "There are too many wars and military disasters we have encountered in our lives, but we have never met such a benevolent and righteous person as General Liu, we follow you, even if we die, we are willing!" Pei Gong was so moved that he burst into tears, so he had to lead the people to go with him, so that the young and strong walked, and the old, weak, sick and disabled walked by chariot or horseback, so that the speed of the march was very slow. Seeing this, Fan Hao said to Pei Gong: "Wang Lijun is about to catch up, how can he fight at such a speed?" Let the people run for their lives! Xiao He hurriedly said: "The people are the foundation of the state, and those who have won the hearts of the people since ancient times have won the world." If Pei Gong wants to enter the customs to destroy Qin, he must not be sorry for the common people! Pei Gong also said: "The people follow me all the way, if we are caught up and killed by the Qin army, it is also the will of heaven, how can I abandon them?" Whoever persuades me to forsake the people will kill him. When the people heard this, they were all moved and said, "If the Qin army comes, we are willing to die together!" ”
The Chu army crossed Jishui and walked a short distance to reach the territory of Changyi. As they were walking, a group of men stopped their way. The leader was two burly men, one of whom rode a blue-maned horse and carried a green dragon lance that was more than a foot long. This person has a blue face and purple hair, a short beard and broad cheeks, a black feather scarf on his head, and a green dragon and blue robe, like a golden bell, about forty years old. Another big man rode a yellow-maned horse, held a bronze ge, had a short red beard, tied a scarf on his head, and wore a big red robe, like a golden eagle, about thirty years old. Both of them were extremely majestic, like gods and earth. Seeing this, Pei Gong was also taken aback, and before he could ask urgently, Fan Xu stepped forward and shouted loudly: "Where did the robber come from?" How dare you stand in my brother's way? The blue-faced and purple-haired man said: "I planted this tree, and this road is open for me; If you have to cross this road, leave it to buy road money! Fan shouted: "Big brother, this is a gang of robbers, I'll take them down!" Pei Gong hurriedly stopped Fan Hao and said: "These two people are very majestic, I don't think they are robbers, ask first." He went up and asked the interceptor what his name was, where he came from, and where he was going. Dahan said: "I am Peng Yue in the giant field, I heard that a group of deserters who were defeated by the Qin army have arrived in my territory, and I have come to arrest them!" You're the losers, aren't you? Leave the horses and equipment behind, or you'll have your head cut off and send them over!" When Pei Gong heard this, he was furious and shouted at the group: "This is indeed a madman, which of you is going to capture him?" Guan Ying shouted: "Liu Peigong, I came to the army, I have not made meritorious service, I will meet him!" After saying that, he slapped his horse and rushed out of the queue, shouting: "I am Suiyang Irrigation Baby, the robbers should admit it early!" "Rush straight to the front of the battle and fight.
When the big man saw that the infant was killed, he waved the green dragon lance and greeted him. The two of them fought in front of the two armies, fighting for fifty rounds, regardless of victory or defeat. The soldiers on both sides were stunned. Only then did Pei Gong know that the baby's martial arts were strong, and while secretly admiring the baby, he also admired the person who fought with the baby. At this time, Fan Hao couldn't help it, so he said anxiously: "I'll go and help the baby brother." "Don't wait for Pei Gong to agree, he will fight out. Another big man on the opposing side saw Fan Hao kill him, so he brandished his weapon to catch Fan Hao and fight. The soldiers on both sides applauded in unison. Guan Ying and the big man have been fighting alone for a hundred rounds, and they still don't know whether they win or lose. But the man who fought with Fan Xu gradually couldn't parry.
Seeing this, Pei Gong took a few steps and shouted: "Four strong men, please stop, I have something to ask!" The four of them stopped their weapons at the same time. Pei Gong asked, "May I ask the strong man, who are you?" Which man with a lance picked up the halberd that filled the baby, and asked Pei Gong: "Who are you?" Pei Gong replied: "In Xia Liu Bang, because I accepted the order of King Chu Huai to enter the pass to destroy Qin, because I suddenly met Wang Li's army going south, I didn't want to confront him head-on, so I came here and wanted to set up an ambush to defeat him." Which man listened to Pei Gong's words and asked in a loud voice: "You were ordered to enter the customs, why did you kidnap the people?" Pei Gong said: "The strong man misunderstood, just because General Song Yi ordered me to go north to resist Wang Li, and I defeated the vanguard of the Qin army in Chengyang, the people voluntarily followed me here, not a hijacking!" The common people all shouted together: "Liu Peigong's benevolence and righteousness are our voluntary followers, not abductions." When the man heard this, he discarded the lance, rolled the saddle and dismounted, and then came to Pei Gong's horse, bowed his head, and said: "In Xia Pengyue, I have long heard that Liu Pei Gong is a benevolent man who treats the people generously and benevolently. You are famous for fighting with the Qin army, and you would love to meet the general. But today, when I visited the Malay newspaper and said that you had kidnapped thousands of people to come here, I mistakenly thought that the general was an unrighteous person, so I came here to deliberately make things difficult, which is really offended and offended! After speaking, he pointed to the man behind him and said: "This good man's name is Luan Bu, he is my sworn brother, and he is also from this county. Because the two of us saw the chaos in the world, they also gathered thousands of strong men to revolt. In the past few days, I heard that Wang Li was about to be killed, and I wanted to go to meet the guy, but I didn't expect to meet the general here! After hearing this, Pei Gong laughed and said, "This is exactly the fate of meeting thousands of miles away." It is also an honor for me Liu to meet a strong man today! "I got off the horse and met Peng Yue. Peng Yue pointed to Guan Ying and said: "There is such a strong martial artist under the general, I really have seen it for the first time in my life." What admiration, admiration! Pei Gong listened to Peng Yue's words, and happily introduced: "He is Suiyang's irrigated baby, and he just came to the army, this is really not an acquaintance!" Guan Ying met Peng Yue and said: "I have traveled from south to north, and I have never seen a person with strong martial arts like you, which is the first time." Admire, admire! Peng Yue laughed and said: "How offended, please don't be surprised!" ”
Pei Gong was overjoyed and told Peng Yue about Wang Li's southward journey. Peng Yue said with a smile: "When the general met me today, God really wants to make the Qin army lose the battle!" Pei Gong was surprised: "Wang Li is the grandson of Wang Jian and the son of Wang Ben, serving as the commander of the Great Wall Army of Qin, this time he led the elite cavalry, and he was fierce, why are the strong men so despised?" Peng Yue said: "The general doesn't know, not far from here, there is a vast Daze, called Da Yeze." The terrain is very complex, and it looks like a flat meadow, but in fact it is a pit several feet deep. Those who have not walked through it will surely fall into the quagmire as long as they enter Osawa. In order to prevent the Qin army from coming to besiege, we have arranged various mechanisms in Daze, which can be described as a net of heaven and earth, as long as the Qin army enters Zezhong, they will not come back! ”
While he was talking, suddenly the sergeant Pegasus came and reported that the king had left the army less than thirty miles away. Pei Gong was shocked and hurriedly said: "Thanks to the strong man who has such a good place, God is really helping Chu Min!" Peng Yue said: "Defeating the Qin army is our common wish, and we should fight immediately." So he put together the soldiers and horses of both sides, and headed north to Junozawa.
Pei Gong came to Daze to see that it was indeed a good place to destroy the enemy. Pei Gong also ordered Cao Shen and Fan Xu to lay an ambush outside Daze, and once the enemy fled, they would cut off the retreat. Peng Yue said to everyone again: "Everyone go to the ambush, I'm worried that the enemy won't be able to enter the ambush circle." When the people heard about this, they all bravely said: "I am willing to lure the Qin army." Peng Yue was very happy, so he let the old and sick move to safety, and the young and strong all stayed to lure the enemy, and when the Qin army arrived, he deliberately pretended to be panicked and retreated according to the road signs set up in secret. Everything is ready.
Wang Li led the Qin army to gallop all the way and crossed Jishui. When he heard that Pei Gong's army was fleeing in the north-east direction, he quickly pursued him. The Qin army stopped when it came to a place not far from Daze, and Wang Li saw many ordinary people resting in front of him from a distance. smiled and said: "Liu Bang villager, finally abandoned the people and ran away." He ordered to continue to move forward and enter Daze to capture Liu Bang alive. Pioneer and Huan Jin said: "The fog in the swamp ahead, as if revealing a murderous aura, there may be an ambush. Shima smiled: "You are too cowardly, Liu Bang is just a village man, and Xiao He is just a small county man, even if they have an ambush, are I still afraid of them with my belongings?" As he spoke, he shook the iron halberd in his hand, and persuaded the king to leave and drive the army forward. Wang Li then drove the brigade into Zezhong. They walked a short distance, only to see the common people running and shouting: "The Qin army is here!" Run......"
Wang Li and other generals were originally eagles in the desert, where have they seen swamps, the more difficult it is for everyone to walk, and they obviously see the people in front of them, but they can't catch up. He Huan's heart became scared. Shima was furious and wanted to behead Hehuan. Who would have thought that before the fire in the wading room was finished, the soldiers in front had already fallen into the quagmire, and the Qin army screamed one by one, and some even cried. They saw that their companions were in front of them, but they could not support each other or help each other. At this time, they saw a large net covering the sky descending from the sky, covering all the soldiers in the net, and all kinds of hidden weapons also attacked them together. Qin Jun was either suffocated by falling into a pit, stabbed in the head by a flying blade, and some were smashed by wood and their brains burst to death. Some of the uninjured sergeants were about to flee when rockets were fired at them again. It was early winter, the aquatic plants and reeds all withered and turned yellow, and as soon as they encountered the rocket, a fire ignited, and the Qin army that did not fall into the swamp was burned by the fire and howled wolf.
Wang Li was shocked when he saw this, and only then did he know that he had been ambushed by Pei Gong, so he hurriedly drove some of the soldiers to retreat from the original way. But when they were just struggling out of Daze, they encountered the interception of Cao and Fan Erjun. Wang Li and Shima threw away their armor and panicked. At the critical moment, he suddenly saw a troop of soldiers and horses in the northwest corner to rescue, and it turned out that the county guard of Dongjun came to respond. He saw that Wang Li was surrounded by the Chu army and fought in the core, so he entered the battle and rescued Wang Li. He Huan, Jiang Yun, Wang Sen and other generals have died in Zezhong. Pei Gong and Peng Yue led the army out of Zezhong and surrounded the soldiers and horses guarding the county from both sides. Wang Li saw that the Qin army was exhausted, and if he continued to fight, he might be wiped out, so he opened a bloody road with the county guards, fled in the direction of Dongjun, and shouted while running: "My Wang Li got the way of using troops from his ancestors, chasing the Huns, and did not taste defeat, but he didn't expect to be defeated in the hands of the nameless rats today!" ”
Pei Gong and Peng Yue chased and killed him, and when they saw that Wang Li had fled, they collected their troops and returned. Everyone was overjoyed at this time, and they all cleaned up the battlefield together, rescued hundreds of war horses, and captured thousands of weapons and armor. Peng Yue set up a banquet for the Chu army to celebrate together. During the banquet, Pei Gong asked Peng Yue about his previous affairs, and Peng Yue introduced to everyone how he raised his army. Pei Gong and the generals listened to Peng Yue's narration and admired his organizational skills.
