Dahan first prince

Chapter 116 I'm Asking King Liang, Not Peng Yue

In the autumn of the tenth year of the Han Dynasty, Xinyou (27) in September.

After nearly a month of trekking, the Guanzhong army led by Liu Bang finally arrived at the front line of the war - the capital of Zhao: Handan.

But after arriving in Handan and setting up the tent of the Chinese army, Liu Bang's attention was not immediately focused on Chen Xi, who rebelled against Dai and Zhao and made himself the king of Dai.

Looking at the frightened man in front of him, Liu Bang's face was so gloomy that it could almost drip water...
"King Liang, did you really say that?"

As soon as Liu Bang finished speaking, he saw the man knelt down on the ground anxiously and kowtowed.

"His Majesty!"

"Everything I said is true, Liang Wang Pengyue has already taken shape!!!"

Seeing the man complaining about Peng Yue's crimes, Liu Bang's complexion changed, and finally he waved his hand sullenly.

"Young servant, let's go down and rest first."

After the man whom Liu Bang called "the servant" fell back out of the big tent, Liu Bang thought for a while with a cold face, and then raised his head with a gloomy expression.

"Do you think that what Liang Taifu said is true?"

"Peng Yue, Mo is really out of shape?!"

Hearing Liu Bang's question, the generals and officers gathered in the big tent suddenly looked at each other in blank dismay.

Peng Yue wants to rebel?

If you put aside the consideration of knowing the princes with different surnames, none of the dozens of people in the big tent are willing to believe that Liang Wang Pengyue will also have a day of rebellion.

The reason is simple: Ever since Emperor Liu Bang stepped down from Dangshan Mountain more than ten years ago and officially raised the banner of anti-Qin, Peng Yue has almost always spontaneously helped Liu Bang.

From Dangbei to attack Changyi, Peng Yue, with more than 1000 troops in hand, came spontaneously to assist Liu Bang in attacking Changyi; Changyi was not captured, Liu Bang stopped going north and turned westward, and Peng Yue followed with his troops.

From then on, until Liu Bang bypassed Wuguan and was able to enter Xianyang first, the soldiers and horses led by Peng Yue had always been Liu Bang's "non-staff personnel".

——Peng Yue, the leader, did not have any appointment from Liu Bang; the soldiers and horses under Peng Yue never received Liu Bang's food, grass and supplies.

But whenever something happened, Peng Yue would spontaneously lead people to follow and assist Liu Bang; when the battle was over, Peng Yue's army quietly followed Liu Bang's army and set up camp not far from Liu Bang's army, putting on a posture of "mutually protecting each other's horns".

When Xiang Yu entered Guanzhong, he almost left Liu Bangxiang's head at the Hongmen Banquet, and later he became the vassal of the Eighteen Routes all over the world. The people and horses are still a guerrilla without affiliation.

In this way, he followed Liu Bang like a follower for several years. It was not until the first year of the Han Dynasty that Tian Rong established himself as the king of Qi and provoked the overlord Xiang Yu to lead his troops to attack. Peng Yue, the guerrilla captain, finally got Liu Bang's first appointment.

——Grant the seal of General Peng Yue, lead the troops under his command to leave Hangu eastward, march into Jiyin, and attack Xiang Yu's troops!
Finally got Liu Bang's appointment as he wished, and Peng Yue's first battle was quite brilliant.

With more than [-] soldiers, against Xiang Yu's general Xiao Gongjiao's tens of thousands of troops, Peng Yue killed Xiao Gongjiao's tens of thousands of troops almost at the cost of less than a thousand casualties!
Later, Peng Yue "overfulfilled the task". When Liu Bang was still busy cleaning up the remnants of the Three Qin Dynasty, he took back dozens of cities in the land of the old Wei, completely blocking the way from Guandong to Guanzhong.

——The land of the former Wei, which is now the Liang State; and whether it is the current Liang State or the former Wei State, it is the last barrier outside the Hangu Pass, and the last fortress for the Kanto forces to enter the Guanzhong!
With Peng Yue guarding the gate of the Guandong, Liu Bang was free and easy, and was able to restore the Sanqin and dominate the Guanzhong.

In the spring of the following year, Liu Bang, who was able to unify Guanzhong, led his army to the east and launched a full-scale offensive against Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu. Peng Yue finally got his wish, and formally led his troops under the account of Han King Liu Bang in the Waihuang area.

At that time, there were many rumors in the Han army camp, saying that Peng Yue pacified Wei, maybe he wanted to be the king of Wei?

But the final result greatly exceeded the expectations of the entire Han camp, including Han King Liu Bang.

——Peng Yue not only did not invite himself to be the King of Wei, but suggested to Liu Bang: We should choose a person worthy of entrustment from the descendants of the old Wei State, and make him the King of Wei!

Knowing Peng Yue's intentions, Liu Bang was full of admiration and said: Peng Yue is not an ambitious person, he is worthy of a great job; Wei Bao is Wei Wang Jiu's cousin, he is the real descendant of Wei Wang, let Wei Bao be Wei Wang, Let Peng Yue be Minister of Wei.

In this way, Peng Yue, who could only follow Liu Bang's army like a licking dog, became Wei Xiang who held the military and political power of Wei State in one fell swoop.

Then, Pengcheng was defeated, and Liu Bang was chased and killed by the overlord Xiang Yu for nearly a thousand miles. With the support of his relative general Lu Ze, he finally stabilized his foothold in the Xingyang area.

But the army was defeated like a mountain - under Xiang Yu's powerful offensive, Wei Bao, who was personally named King of Wei by Liu Bang, had no choice but to sentence Han to Chu.

In the dark time when the Han-Chu confronted Xingyang and the Han army was overwhelmed, looking at the entire Liu-Han camp, the only one that frequently went out to battle and made many gains was the tens of thousands of troops under the command of Wei Prime Minister Peng Yue. The 'guerrilla'.

The morale of the Han army was low, and the generals of the Chu army were strong. Peng Yue led his troops around to the rear of Xiang Yu's army, harassing the Chu army's food roads, and even in Xiang Yu's rear, he captured seventeen cities including Suiyang and Waihuang.

When Xiang Yu stopped his westward march due to the repeated blockage of the grain road in the rear, and had to turn around to stabilize the rear, Peng Yue quickly gave up the captured city and returned to the west of Xingyang.

Then when Xiang Yu's army ran out of food and grass, he had no choice but to retreat to the Yangxia area. Peng Yue jumped out at the first time, combined with sneak attack and guerrilla attack, and captured more than [-] cities around Changyi, and obtained more than [-] shi of grain and rice for the Han army to eat. .

It can even be said that during the period when Liu Bang was defeated in Pengcheng, retired to Xingyang, and struggled to support the confrontation with Xiang Yu, the reason why the Han army was able to guard the direction of Xingyang without being defeated in one fell swoop was at least [-]% of the credit , must be recorded on the head of the guerrilla captain Peng Yue.

Even today, among the military generals of the Han Dynasty, there are many people who are similar to "in terms of battle strategy, the Marquis of Huaiyin is the first in the world; There is a view of those who are on the right of Peng Yue.

And among the three master strategists Han Xin, unparalleled fierce general Ying Bu, and guerrilla ancestor Peng Yue, if anyone is said to be the most responsible and least likely to rebel, it is undoubtedly the one who only knew how to fight with his heart from the beginning to the end, and never took the initiative Open your mouth and ask Liu Bang for a reward, Peng Yue, the king of Liang who was conferred by imperial edict!

This makes it so that now, when a person who claims to be "Liang Taifu" goes to Handan and says in front of Liu Bang that "Peng Yue has reversed shape", no one in the entire tent is willing to believe it.

But don't believe it or not, under the premise of "cutting off princes with different surnames" is the general trend of the court, there are not many people who dare to stand up and intercede for Liang Wang Peng Yue who is bound to be purged.

Obviously, Zhao Xiang and Zhou Chang are not among them...
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty."

Seeing that everyone in the tent bowed their heads silently, Zhou Chang couldn't help but sighed a little, then walked out and bowed his hands to Liu Bang, who was at the top.

"Chen... I thought that Peng...Peng Yue broke...not...not...not...against !"

"Ge...Gain..."

Seeing Zhou Chang's gesture of "Let me start talking", Liu Bang couldn't help but frown, and glanced at Chen Ping to the side.

After being taken aback for a moment, Chen Ping came back to his senses, stepped forward with a gentle smile, lightly held Zhou Chang's arm, and signaled that he could do it for him.

Seeing this, Zhou Changzong was unhappy, but seeing Liu Bang's not-so-beautiful face, he finally nodded and was helped back to the tent by Chen Ping.

Then, it was Chen Ping who stepped forward and bowed to Liu Bang slightly.

"His Majesty."

"Since Qin Prince Ying was cut in half for Xiang Yu, and all the units of the rebel army were enshrined as princes of the Eighteenth Route, Peng Yue has been at His Majesty's side for a long time."

"After Pengcheng was defeated, King Bao of Wei also condemned the Han and surrendered to Chu. Although he thought he was Prime Minister of Wei, Peng Yue did not rebel. Instead, he was loyal and harassed Xiang Jun's rear supplies and grain roads in Suiyang and Waihuang."

"After the defeat of Pengcheng, His Majesty was able to protect Xingyang. Peng Yue really contributed a lot..."

As he said that, Chen Ping couldn't help but turned sideways, nodded kindly to Zhou Chang, and quietly changed the subject.

"As for Liang's matriarch's statement that Peng Yue intends to rebel, I also think that this may not be true."

"In the third year of the Han Dynasty, King Bao of Wei sentenced the Han Dynasty to descend to Chu, and was beheaded by the late Gaojing Hou Zhou Ke, brother of the Marquis of Fenyin."

"At that time, Peng Yue never asked to proclaim himself King of Liang, even if His Majesty ordered him later, Peng Yue also politely refused."

"Her Majesty forced Peng Yue to receive the seal of King Liang?"

Listening to Chen Ping talking about these old events, everyone in the tent couldn't help showing signs of approval.

——That's Peng Yue!

——Emperor Liu Bang was not even the King of Han, and when he was just "Pei Gong", he led 8000 people to follow Liu Bang's buttocks, and Peng Yue, who assisted Liu Bang's army westward all the way!

Putting aside Peng Yue's non-Liu surname, these deeds alone have made Peng Yue more trustworthy than most of the Liu clan!
Thinking like this, everyone couldn't help raising their heads again, looking at Liu Bang's unpredictable, cloudy and sunny face.

I saw Liu Bang got up from his seat with a gloomy expression, and looked around in darkness.

Then, Liu Bang's slightly old, weak and sluggish voice sounded in the ten-foot-square Chinese army tent.

"What I asked is not the opposite of Peng Yue."

"The person I'm asking is the King of Liang. Is it true that what the servant of Liang said is the opposite?"

PS: Zhou Ke, general of the Han Dynasty, cousin of Zhou Chang, Marquis of Fenyin.

In the third year of the Han Dynasty (204 B.C.), King Bao of Wei was sentenced to Han. Zhou Ke, the royal historian of the Han Dynasty, was ordered by King Liu Bang of Han to kill King Bao of Wei in Xingyang, and was later ordered to take over the defense of Xingyang.

In the fourth year of the Han Dynasty, Xiang Yu broke Xingyang, Zhou Ke vowed not to surrender, and cooked for Xiang Yu.

In the sixth year of the Han Dynasty, Xiang Yu slayed himself at Wujiang River, and Liu Bang, the king of the Han Dynasty, was established as the emperor.
