Destiny Only Han

Chapter 175
Dang County, Waihuang County.

When Liu Bang was young, he used to be a knight-errant with a sword, but when he came to join Lord Xinling, Lord Xinling was already dead, so he joined Zhang Er, who was then Wai Huang Ling, here, eating and drinking. for a long time.

So he was very familiar with this place. When he entered the city, there was a wine shop outside the city wall that he was very familiar with. It seemed to have been dilapidated for a long time.

In the era of war and chaos, he had seen such things a lot elsewhere. Although he felt a little regretful, he didn't take it too seriously.

His attention was entirely on Peng Yue beside him.

At this moment, Peng Yue, who was wearing straw sandals, a sharp sword hanging from his waist, and a black suit, was sitting in the same carriage as Liu Bang, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

Today is different from the past, Liu Bang is already the King of Han, and he usually responds to every call. At this time, he is sitting on nearly 20 troops. The aura of wealth and majesty is not something Peng Yue, a water bandit, can resist.

However, Liu Bang still had a happy face and said: "We said goodbye in Changyi that day, I didn't expect that you and my brother would meet again..."

He sighed a lot, after all, he fought twice in a row to take down a small Changyi county that day, and the last time, he was able to succeed only after Peng Yue's sneak attack from behind.

Now, my ambition is no longer to be a ranger, but to seek a peace for the people of the world, defeat the cruel and bloodthirsty Xiang Yu, who is devastated.

And Peng Yue in front of him, I heard that he is still a water bandit, he is really overqualified!
Hearing Peng Yue's echoing words, Liu Bang asked again: "What are your plans for coming here now?"

Peng Yue said bluntly: "I defeated King Xiang's attack, so I was targeted by him. King Xiang is not very powerful, and he will definitely not spare my life, so I came to the king because I wanted to Take shelter under the wings of the Han army."

Liu Bang thought for a while and asked, "How many people do you have now?"

Peng Yue said with some pride: "The [-] people are all warriors!"

Liu Bang was full of surprise: "With so many people, they can call themselves kings, and you have 3 people, why are you afraid of Xiang Ji, a yellow-mouthed kid?"

Hearing Liu Bang address Xiang Yu like that, Peng Yue smacked his lips, not knowing what to say for a while.

A mere child?

Don't be afraid that the wind will flash your tongue!
After a moment of silence, Peng Yue said hesitantly: "My lord, you know me. Although I have many brothers in my hands, it is not that simple to become king."

"So my idea is to be a general under the king's command, go through fire and water, and when he defeats King Xiang, the king will be able to see how much credit I have, and make me a marquis, and I will be very content."

Liu Bang shook his head slightly: "Marquis, I can't seal you."

Peng Yue's expression changed drastically. He was a little worried that Liu Bang would be like Chen Sheng. When he was down and down, he said that he should never forget the rich and the honored. When he became prosperous, he would kill those who were ready to share the wealth with him.

Could it be that the name of the King of Han as an honest and honest elder is just for show?

In the final analysis, is he still a hypocrite?

When Peng Yue was in a state of confusion, Liu Bang laughed loudly: "In the past, Wang Chen looked down upon him, but what he said was very reasonable."

"The prince and general Xiangning is kind!"

"Your Excellency is such a great talent, but you only value a small Marquis, it is really aggrieved!"

"How about this, I will make you the Prime Minister of the Liang Kingdom, and you lead your deployment to attack the Liang land. After you take down the Liang land, I will make you the King of Liang in my name!"

For a moment, Peng Yue was pleasantly surprised.

He was originally from Liang, and now he can be the king in Liang, and he can be considered proud!
Especially since he used to be a water bandit. Although the neighbors didn't say anything on the surface, they definitely looked down on him secretly.

In this way, after becoming the king of Liang, he can build a family temple and enshrine the ancestral tablets, which is worthy of the ancestors who were shamed by him!
It's just that such a big happy event made Peng Yue feel a little worried about gains and losses for a while.

People are like this, when they are hit by a pie falling from the sky, they will always question it repeatedly.

Beside the carriage, Han Wangxin, who followed Liu Bang on horseback, saw that Peng Yue was hesitant because of ecstasy, and he couldn't help but smiled slightly. This kind of scene also happened to him when he was named the King of Han before. himself.

So Han Wangxin looked at Peng Yue and said, "Actually, you are not the first king conferred by the King of Han."

"So-and-so is Han Xin, the concubine-grandson of King Han Xiang, the son of the son of the son of the son of a lice. After conquering Han, he was canonized as the King of Han by the King of Han!"

Hearing this, Peng Yue suddenly forgot about the past.

Yingchuan County is adjacent to Dang County. The news that Zheng Chang, the king of Han, who was conferred by Xiang Yu before, was defeated and surrendered was naturally heard by Peng Yue who was in the East County of Dang County.

Now he listened to what the other party meant, and Liu Bang's promise was true.

As long as he can conquer the land of Liang, he can justifiably become King of Liang!

Well, this is a rule inherited from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. At that time, the Zhou royal family was weak, and the powerful princes in the world began to be unwilling to surrender.

People like the state of Qi still keep the etiquette, but they just wrote a letter cursing the emperor Zhou as "your mother and maidservant", but they still retain the title of "gong".

But the state of Chu in the south doesn’t pay much attention to this. He was the first to become king, and he was on an equal footing with Emperor Zhou, trying to be the father of all the countries in the Central Plains...

Chu Fa Sui.

Suiguo: I am not guilty.

Chu State: I am a barbarian!
Then Qi Wei and other powerful countries are naturally unwilling to live under others for a long time, and for their domestic ministers, their own monarch is only a marquis or duke, and another marquis cannot be canonized.

Only when the monarch of one's own family becomes king, can a lower-level Marquis be conferred.

Then everyone's titles can rise with the tide.

Therefore, the kings of Qi and Wei, that is, called each other kings.

Not only that, Zhou Tianzi would also lick his face and congratulate Zuo to ensure that Qi Wei would not cut off his funding...

Of course, he also wanted to call, but his strength did not allow it.

Now Liu Bang's title of king is to continue such rules.

After all, Emperor Yi, who was able to confer the title of king, was a puppet before, and now he was brutally killed.

So everyone can only be king.

Well, it's a bit similar to the warlords in the late Han Dynasty, who declared each other to be a certain general and a certain shepherd...

After Han Wangxin jumped out to speak out, all doubts in Peng Yue's heart dissipated immediately, and Liu Bang was indeed a honest old man, as the world said,!
That being the case, he planned to set off immediately to attack Liang.

After all, the sooner you take the land of Liang, the sooner you become the King of Liang!
Liu Bang saw what he was thinking, and smiled: "Don't be so anxious, it's okay to be late for a day and a half! There is a kind of fine wine in Waihuang, which is as sweet as honey and fragrant. You and I will not be drunk today! "

Well, although I can't worship Lord Xinling when I'm drunk, it's a big deal, I'll stay in Waihuang for two more days.

Anyway, Zhao Guo in the north is ready to move, and Tian Heng is sticking to Panyang. Under such a three-way confrontation, Xiang Yu's strength will be continuously weakened, and it will not be too late for him to reap the benefits after his black tiger has his heart out!

Thinking of this, the glutton in Liu Bang's stomach became more and more uncontrollable. It's a pity that Fan Kui was sent by him to lead the army to fight, otherwise...

The dog meat is rolling, the gods don't want to go!
Coupled with the mellow Waihuang wine, it is not a fairy, it is better than a fairy!

…………

Dongjun, Dingtao.

This is a small town with a very prosperous commercial atmosphere. At dusk, many small merchants came out of the market in carts carrying their burdens.

The original name of this place was Taoqiu, which was named after Yao who was born in the Taotang family.

It is said that in the past, after Fan Li helped King Goujian of Yue defeat Helu, King of Wu, he realized that Goujian could not share wealth and honor, so he took his Xi Shi on a boat on the lake.

Therefore, Taoqiu was renamed Dingtao.

At this moment when the city gate was about to close, a group of cavalry came galloping in the distance. The sentinels on the top of the city watched from a distance and found that the banners carried by the cavalry were exactly the style of their Western Chu.

When the cavalry approached, the city gatekeeper who guarded the gate even recognized the identity of the visitor.

General of the Chu Army, Long Qi.

Now that Xiang Yu is going to the Qi State, Long Qi is almost in charge of many things in Xichu.

Life and death are seized, and status is respected.

However, Long Qi knew that at this moment, the real person in charge of Xichu was Xiang Tuo of the Xiang clan.

Now that they came, they naturally received the battle reports that flew like snowflakes.

The counties and counties of Chu State in the west surrendered without a fight one after another. Now the coalition forces headed by Liu Bang have basically captured the entire Dang County and are about to threaten the capital of Western Chu, Pengcheng.

Now, the main force of the Chu army is following Xiang Yu to fight fiercely on the ground, and the dragon is too weak to support alone, so I can only think of other ideas.

After discussing with Xiang Tuo, he decided to organize troops in Dingtao, wait for the opportunity to go west, cut off the "Sanchuan Donghai Road" connecting Pengcheng and Guanzhong, and then strengthen the walls and clear the fields in Sishui County and other places.

In this way, the large-scale Han army's grain road was cut off, and its actions were bound to be slow.

Long Qi firmly believes that Dingtao has a stable city wall, and the military strength and wealth are not weak, so he can stand firm here for ten and a half months.

And during this period of time, it was enough for Xiang Yu to lead his troops back from Qi to help!

As soon as the main force of the Chu army arrives, they will let Liu Bang understand that killing people is easier than killing pigs!
…………

In the early morning of the next day, in the west of Dingtao City, an army holding a black Han army flag slowly rushed in like a rising tide.

On the shogunate of the Chinese army, the battle flag hung showed that the commander-in-chief of this army was the lieutenant of the Han Dynasty, Cao Shen.

For the Han army relying on the "Sanchuan Dongkai Road" and Suishui to transfer grain and grass supplies, the safety of the grain road is naturally the top priority.

Before Cao Shen led the army to expand the flanks of the grain road, he didn't realize that Long had already organized a defense line here.

Now, looking at the familiar figure on the top of the city, he sneered, and with a wave of his arms, a carrier pigeon with a bamboo tube tied to its foot spread its wings and flew high.

"Wait for me to shake people, let's fight again!"
