Qiang Qin

(Thanks to see_an Dameng for the reward!)

The strategy of violence.

In this era, it is mostly armed by bandits who have sprung up suddenly, and it is also used when trying to sweep the people and resist powerful opponents like Chen Sheng and Wu Guang.

Generally speaking, the stronger side is less likely to use violent soldiers to deal with weaker enemies.It can be said that not only Xiang Zhuang did not expect Han Xin's strategy in Qidi, but even Li Yuan did not guess that Han Xin would use this method to deal with the two attacks of Zhongli Mo and Xiang Zhuang.

If the violent soldiers are successful, Han Xin's Qin army will leap from a partial division and become a real attacking arrow. Coupled with Peng Yue's bandit army attacking from behind, the situation of the Qin and Chu armies on the North Road battlefield will undergo a fundamental change. reverse.

Zhong Limei and Xiang Zhuang actually knew something about the real situation of the Qin army on the north bank of Jishui. The Chu army sent too many scout teams to investigate, and they were able to learn about the Qin army from some of the fled Chu officials one after another. There are many turbulent situations in the area, but matters related to local security are mostly handled by internal affairs officials and local county lieutenants.

A group of rioters with wooden sticks and hoes, together with some scattered soldiers of the Qin army scattered all over the field, made the Qi land full of wars and turmoil. If the Chu army really sent troops to conquer, they would really have no way to start.

As the chief general of the Chu army in the Jishui area, Xiang Zhuang was thinking hard about how to solve Zhong Limei and take over the Changshan army, but he didn't know that a crisis was coming to the Chu army by the Jishui.

——.

In the Battle of the Chasm and the Battle of Jishui, one person's name was mentioned successively, but it seemed that he was only mentioned for a while, and had no real chance to appear on the stage.

In fact, it was precisely because of his existence that the tilted balance between Qin and Chu was even more tilted towards Qin's side. This person was Peng Yue.

Almost at the same time when the Battle of the Chasm reached its critical point and the Battle of Jishui reached a stalemate, it was located in Juyeze at the junction of Qin and Chu.It is also turbulent and bloody.

in summer.

Located at the junction of Qin and Chu, Juyeze is overgrown with reeds and weeds, providing a natural shelter for thieves hiding in it.

At this time in previous years, as the leader of the bandits, Peng Yue, who has been a bandit for many years, would hold a gathering of bandits from all walks of life in order to divide their respective areas of activity, and at the same time, plan if there was a large-scale encirclement and suppression by officers and soldiers.How to deal with it, and this time, Peng Yue, who has officially decided to be included in the Qin army sequence, has other plans.

To be a free king of thieves, or to submit to Qin and become part of the Qin army, for the past seven years, Peng Yue has been hesitating in anxiety, and it is this yearning for freedom that makes him miss it time and time again. The best chance to return to Qin.

To know people is when a hero has not yet risen.

Only by fighting the country together can one become the king's confidant general in troubled times.

Unfortunately.Although Peng Yue and Li Yuan had known each other early in the morning, it was obvious that Peng Yue did not have the luck like Wang Shang, Luo Jia and others, or rather.He is short-sighted and does not know the true hero.

When Daliang first met Li Yuan, Peng Yue had the opportunity to join him, but at that time Li Yuan was just a small military lord.He couldn't make Peng Yue, whose nose was bruised and his face was swollen, surrender; when he was in Xingyang, Peng Yue joined Liu Bang's Western Expeditionary Army, and became rivals with Li Yuan again.In the meantime, he almost broke the city. Although Peng Yue later saw through Lao Liu's plot and left with his own team, he missed Li Yuan again because of this.

Afterwards, Li Yuan raised his troops in Guanzhong, and Peng Yue lay dormant in Daze. The two had no intersection. It was not until Qin expanded eastward and defeated Xiang Yu's Chu army at Hulao Pass that Peng Yue suddenly realized. Looking back at his former opponent, he realized that he had missed Opportunities to become important ministers of the country again and again.

This time, Peng Yue finally made up his mind.

When Luo Yang saw Li Yuan, after talking about it, Peng Yue's fear of being retaliated was swept away. Now he also knows the general trend of the world, and the strength of Qin is unstoppable.If you go to the Qin State in such a small way, it can be said that it will be difficult to have a bright future. Therefore, it is inevitable to recruit these bandits and form an army with a unified command.

The sun is shining.

On the dot general platform built with bamboo heads and round logs, groups of tycoons from various Daze and water areas gathered. In addition to the bandits from the Juye Ze area, there were even a few bandits from the Liangshan Po and Baiyang Po areas. Leader, these two places, like Juyeze, have a large area of ​​water, which allows the thieves to hide in case of encirclement.

A group of thieves sat on the ground in a mess, and those sitting around the simple general platform were all leaders with a little strength. As for the ordinary thieves, they stayed away from them far away, and they would not come up to make any trouble.

Peng Yue stood up slowly, and stomped heavily on the wooden and bamboo platform, making a creaking sound. After arriving in front of the stage, Peng Yue coughed, and a pair of surrounding eyes scanned the thieves, showing that the group of thieves has been fighting for years. Wang's imposing manner and his movement made the group of thieves gradually hold their breath, and all looked at Peng Yue.

What surprised the group of thieves was that apart from Peng Yue's dignified and stern demeanor, his whole body was dressed in black armor, a scarlet cloak, and the standard saber around his waist, all of which showed an unusual appearance. breath.

"What's the matter, Your Majesty? Why are you wearing the clothes of the Qin army?" Some bandits who came from afar asked their companions who arrived earlier at a loss.

"Hey, you don't know yet that the king has decided to vote for Qin. I heard that Marquis Wu made the king a general. Look at today's posture. Is the king going to take an oath to march east?" A guy who thought he was smart shook his head and said.

"Eastern Expedition, to start a war with the Chu Kingdom, how can we survive the fight with the Overlord of Chu?" The leader of a small faction agreed with his head downcast.

When the group of thieves in the audience were discussing a lot, Peng Yue shouted murderously: "Brothers, at today's meeting, Peng has something to tell you. From now on, I, Peng Yue, have officially surrendered to Qin. This armor, and The saber and the weapons piled up behind the stage were all ordered by Marquis Wu to support us—"

Peng Yue shouted these words, and the group of bandits immediately became chaotic. The bandits and the officers and soldiers have always been two hostile interests. Uninterrupted, especially those bandits who are close to the border of the Qin State or are simply active in the territory of the Qin State, have a deep hatred with the Qin Army.

"Your Majesty, if you really surrender to Qin, we will not accompany you. Those of us who are accustomed to Qin's strict military discipline are not used to it—"

"That's right, Your Majesty, I'm not going to vote for Qin, and continue to live a carefree life on the Great Lake."

Hearing the voice of objection, Peng Yue's expression was particularly gloomy. He turned his lower body slightly, and gave the lieutenant general Hu Zhe who was standing beside him a look. Several people with different voices approached the past.

After a while, a few ignorant guys who had just loudly clamored to continue to be bandits were dragged out under the eyes of the bandits.

After a while, a few screams came, and the expressions of all the thieves who heard it changed drastically.They didn't expect that Peng Yue would treat his partners who used to drink and eat meat so cold-bloodedly.

Seeing the thieves looking at each other, Peng Yue sternly said again: "Brothers, there is only one way to go to heaven and hell, and you choose your own. However, I can guarantee that anyone who follows to Qin will be my brother Peng Yue. Sometimes, if I, Peng Yue, eat with one mouthful, everyone will eat, everyone will share the blessings, and share the hardships—"

From thieves to regular soldiers.

This is indeed a big step, and it also makes some thieves who are used to freedom feel unacceptable, but this step of transformation, Peng Yue is firm, not only him, but the two lieutenants Hu Zhe and Luan Bu are also in favor of voting for Qin However, now Chu State is still an obstacle on the way of Qin State's unification. These bandits are still useful to Qin State. If they can make contributions in the battle of breaking Chu, they can be regarded as advanced capital.

On the contrary, if they continue to be bandits, until the Qin army defeats the Chu army, then these thieves will be the targets of suppression. At that time, even if they want to vote for Qin, it is probably impossible for them to surrender. (To be continued..)
