Chapter 80 Ten-faced web (2)

At the foot of Ao Mountain, Peng Yue was looking at Ao Cang City under the night sky and was furious.

The Liang army's siege of Ao Cang lasted for ten days, and the casualties exceeded 5,000, but they were unable to attack Ao Cang City. This result made Peng Yue a little angry, but he could do nothing. Ao Cang City was originally easy to defend but difficult to attack, and Chen Xi relied on the large amount of food to gather hundreds of thousands of people in Ao Cang City!

Several times, the Liang army soldiers had already killed the city of Ao Cang, but soon, these brave dead soldiers were flooded by endless mobs. In order to protect Ao Cang and protect their food, these damn mobs became so fierce and fearless, but it was a bit beyond Peng Yue's expectations.

One person fights hard, ten people are hard to be accused of, these damn mobs.

A stream of tiny footsteps suddenly came from behind, and when I looked back, it was Kuai Che.

Seeing Kuai Che coming alone, Peng Yue's mouth twitched slightly and asked coldly: "Chun Xi, a little boy, still refuses to agree?" Unable to attack, Peng Yue wanted to surrender Chen Xi. Of course, Peng Yue didn't really want to surrender Chen Xi, he just wanted to get the remaining food in Ao Cang City.

Kuai Che nodded silently, but sighed in his heart.

"Chun Xi!" Peng Yue was furious, "I don't know what's wrong!"

Kuai Che pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "King, the King of Han came to envoy..."

"Nothing big is going on." Peng Yue waved his hand and said, "The King of Han came to the envoy that the remnants of Xiangzhuang may enter Liang again to fight, so that the king would build beacon towers along the lines of Soyzao, Linji, Wanqu, Dingtao, Changyi and Huling, and then send generals to lead troops to garrison Dingtao and Soyzao. Once the remnants of Xiangzhuang are found, they will be intercepted and killed immediately!"

Kuai Che's face changed slightly and he asked anxiously: "How did the king answer?"

"I have experienced how difficult it is to deal with the children of Xiangzhuang. I have already experienced it in Dabie Mountains. I must be careful." Peng Yue said, "The King of Han is also thinking about the safety of the Liang Kingdom. I have sent Liu Kou and Hu Zhe to each lead 30,000 elite troops to Dingtao and Huling to set up defenses. The beacon towers along the Ji River will be built as soon as possible."

"Wrong!" Kuai Che paused and said anxiously, "Your Majesty, you are wrong!"

Peng Yue frowned and said unhappy: "Wrong? What does sir mean?"

Kuai Che said anxiously: "The king sent Liu Kou and Hu Jue to lead troops to garrison Dingtao. Hu Ling should be built with more beacon towers along the Jishui River, but it cannot really block the remnants of the Chu army in Xiangzhuang north of the Jishui River. On the contrary, the king should secretly let a gap be released and let the remnants of the Chu army in Xiangzhuang enter Liang again!"

"Sir, are you crazy?" Peng Yue said furiously, "Isn't this a way to lead a wolf into the house?"

Kuai Che shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I'll just ask the king. The remnants of Xiangzhuang fought thousands of miles and rushed to Liangdi and Qidi, but why did it be for?"

Peng Yue shook his head and said, "Who knows what Xiang Zhuang's son wants to do?"

"Where is the king?" Kuai Che sighed, "Xiang Zhuang wanted to force all the princes to return to their country by continuously fighting in Liang, Qi, and even Zhao, and Han, so as to break the general trend of Liu Bang sweeping the world! If the king could open a hole in Liang, then the remnants of Xiang Zhuang would likely lead troops westward and attack Guanzhong directly!"

"That's even worse." Peng Yue said angrily, "If Xiang Zhuang's remnant troops really pass through Liangdi again and enter Guanzhong, can the King of Han spare me?"

"The King of Han is unwilling to forgive the King?" Kuai Che said sneeringly, "At that time, it is not that the King of Han is unwilling to forgive the King of Han, but that the King of Han is unwilling to forgive the King of Han!"

Peng Yue's face suddenly changed drastically and he said in a deep voice: "Sir, what do you mean?"

Kuai Che looked around and said in a low voice: "King, Liu Bang's army is outside, and the guards in Guanzhong are empty. If the remnants of Xiangzhuang can get the secret assistance of the Liang army, they will take down Sanchuan County and break Hangu Pass, only in a while! Xiangzhuang has few soldiers, even if they capture Guanzhong, they cannot defend them. At most, they will have to leave. The king took the opportunity to lead the army into the pass, and in the name of clearing the Chu army, and then sent a general to suppress Hangu, so that Liu Bang's army could not enter. In this way, the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan will be yours. King, this is the foundation of kings and domineering!"

"Kuai Che!" Peng Yue said furiously, "Are you going to put me in a state of unkindness and unrighteousness? The King of Han treated me deeply and had a strong friendship and was not only appointed me as King Liang, but also rewarded me with a large number of cities in Wei and Chu to Yu Gu. What kind of righteousness is this? You have repeatedly instigated me to me. Do you want me to be ruined and be scolded by the world? What is your intention?"

"King!" Kuai Che said anxiously, "The fertile land of Guanzhong is 800 miles of Qinchuan. It can be used to become a hegemony. This is a gift from God to you. If you don't take it, it is against the will of heaven and against the will of heaven. The king, if you act against the will of heaven, you will inevitably be punished by heaven in the future. The king thinks three times, think three times!"

"Enough!" Peng Yue shouted, "The King of Han is the leader of all the kings, how can I betray him?"

After saying this, Peng Yue said again: "Another, the benevolence and righteousness of the Han kings are known to everyone. All the princes are the only ones who follow him. Do you instigate the orphans to betray him? Do you hope that the all princes of the world will join forces to attack Yu Gu?" This is Peng Yue's true words. It is not that he does not want to get Guanzhong or become an emperor, but that he does not have the courage to challenge Liu Bang.

Kuai Che wanted to persuade him again, but Peng Yue ignored him and turned around and left.

Kuai Che felt disappointed and looked at Ao Cang City under the night sky in the distance, unconsciously feeling a little depressed.

He thought Han Xin could accomplish great things, but found that Han Xin was in a mess except for fighting, and he was just a slut. Later, he thought that Peng Yue looked at the ape and had a strong temperament. However, after several months of contact, he found that Peng Yue was actually a coward who was strong outside and was a coward. He had no courage to challenge Liu Bang.

When Kuai Che was lost, a sound of footsteps suddenly came from behind.

Looking back, it was Tian Heng, a guest under Peng Yue. Tian Heng was a descendant of the King of Qi. He and his two brothers Tian Dan and Tian Rong successively established himself as King of Qi. Later, he was defeated by Guan Ying, the general of Han Xin, and then he took 800 old subordinates to Peng Yue. However, Peng Yue was purely a martial artist, without any vision, and did not realize what Tian Heng could bring to him, so he never reused it.

"Sir, I'm so excited." Tian Heng walked slowly behind Kuai Che and said, "Is it still here to see the scenery so late?"

"Look at the scenery?" Kuai Che smiled bitterly, "I have the heart to die now, so where can I still have the mood to see the scenery?"

"Is it because King Liang refused to accept Mr. Liang's advice?" Tian Heng smiled faintly and said, "I'm not hiding it. Mr. Liang is a few months earlier than Mr. Liang, so he knows more about King Liang. King Liang is a martial artist and cannot accomplish great things. If Mr. Wang really wants to assist the master in achieving great achievements, he should go to King Han."

"King of Han?" Kuai Che smiled bitterly and shook his head. He also knew that Liu Bang was a powerful lord who could accomplish great things and wanted to join Liu Bang. Unfortunately, Liu Bang already had Zhang Liang and Chen Ping assisted him. Even if he went there, he could not be valued. At most, he would follow Zhang Liang and become a small official behind Chen Ping. Kuai Che was arrogant and would not be willing to follow the horseman's queen?

Seeing that there was no one on the left and right, Tian Heng lowered his voice and said, "Sir, if you don't want to join the King of Han, then go to Xiangzhuang!"

"Xiang Zhuang?" Kuai Che shook his head and said, "Xiang Yu is dead, Xiang Zhuang only has thousands of remaining soldiers. What can we do? If you are thrown into Xiang Zhuang's tent, you will be captured and killed by Liu Bang sooner or later, and you will say that you will make achievements." After saying this, Kuai Che asked again, "Does Mr. think that Xiang Zhuang can succeed and plan to go and join?"

Tian Heng shook his hand quickly and said, "Sir, I'm joking, I don't have this plan."

Kuai Che sighed again, looking at Ao Cangcheng in the distance, no longer talking, but he felt a little sad. Zhang Liang and Chen Ping had Liu Bang to assist. Although Fan Zeng was unfortunate, he also assisted Xiang Yu in destroying the tyrannical Qin. But why couldn't he find a hero who deserves to be assisted? A real man should build something in troubled times, so how could he was wasting his fortune?

But where is the heroic lord who belongs to him?

In Jibei County, a large town between Gaotang and Yuanyi, five thousand Chu troops are resting.

According to the old rules, all the residents in Zhendian have been driven away, and all the houses have become barracks.

Not far ahead is the river water (Yellow River). Crossing the river water is Zhao territory. Going west is Julu and Handan, to the north is Nanpi, Jixian, but Yan territory.

The marching from Liangdi to Qi. Because we had to hide our traces, we had to lie down at night. The marching speed was very slow. It took less than a thousand miles from Liangdi to Linzi, but it took ten days to walk! However, after leaving Linzi, there was no need to hide our traces anymore, so the marching speed was greatly accelerated. In two days, we drove 300 miles to the east bank of the river.

However, as Zhang Liang said, the Chu army and the Han army were extremely unequal in intelligence support.

Liu Bang and Zhang Liang could speed up the 800-mile rush of the four princes of Qi, Han, Zhao and Liang to grasp the battlefield situation in time, while Xiang Zhuang and Wei Liao could only rely on scout cavalry, and at most they could only grasp the enemy situation within a radius of dozens of miles. So until now, Xiang Zhuang and Wei Liao did not know that Qi, Zhao, and Han troops had actually returned to their own country.

If we knew that the Zhao army had returned to the army, the Chu army would not have to go to Zhao and Han.

According to Wei Liao's entire plan, the Chu army should now implement the most important step and directly attack Guanzhong!

It’s a pity that Xiangzhuang and Wei Liao had no clairvoyance, nor did they know that the Zhao army and the Han army had returned, nor did they know that Zhang Liang had opened the four righteous and six strange nets, and was waiting for the Chu army to drill in.

The largest house in the town has now become the headquarters of Xiangzhuang. In the lobby, Yu Ziqi was reporting to Xiangzhuang about the collection of ships: "General, the general, finally led his troops to loot dozens of nearby villages and drew more than 200 large and small fishing boats. Now they have all been concentrated at the entrance of the town outside the town, and the army can cross the river at any time."

Wei Liao immediately said to Xiang Zhuang: "General, it's not time to cross the river."

Zhuang nodded and turned to Gongsun Sui, "Send an order to gather all the troops and cross the river one after another!"
