Chapter 405 Chapter [-] Chapter Thirty Thousand Cavalry Rescue Pengcheng

Peng Yue offered the city to surrender, and Liu Bang's army had already entered the city.

Before this little shocking news shocked the whole world, it first shocked the residents of Pengcheng and the people in Chu Palace!

Before the residents of Pengcheng knew what was going on, the capital city changed its owner. Before that, the residents of Pengcheng were somewhat proud of being the subjects of the world's number one prince.They are still somewhat disgusted with the coalition of princes led by the Han army. They really want to know where the Overlord is?Where is the elite army of Western Chu?

Although they were disgusted, they were all unarmed civilians, and they could only silently accept this fact.As long as the soldiers of the Han army don't hurt them, they won't have any resistance!
Compared to the peaceful silence of the residents, when they heard the news, the maids in the Palace of Chu panicked. What should I do?They are very worried that the soldiers of the Han army will rush into the palace, slaughter themselves, or even insult them. They have been in the court for a long time, so they have heard many tragic things about the country's ruin and family death, and it is completely reasonable to worry about it now .

After Yu Ji heard the news, she was shocked. He didn't expect that General Peng Yue, who was trusted by the Overlord and entrusted with important tasks, would rebel like this.Pengcheng was lost just like that, and I don't know if Bawang has gotten the news. Her identity and past experience tell her that she must calm down!Concubine Yu was aware of her situation immediately. As the most beloved wife of the Overlord of Western Chu, she would be imprisoned or slaughtered!Maybe it won't be long before the Han army will rush into this palace, what will be waiting for him?

After thinking for a while, Concubine Yu looked at the past. These court ladies might not be spared, but she should be safe for the time being.Not for anything else, just because he still has a lot of use value. When the Overlord of Western Chu returns to his teacher, he is an excellent hostage, a rare commodity to live in!

The number one beauty in Chu State looked up to the northeast, presumably he had already received the news, he must have been shocked and annoyed, worried for himself.Maybe he is already anxious to rush back to save himself, when Liu Bang threatens himself, what will he choose?Jiangshan beauty?Can I compare with the Wanli Rivers and Mountains of the Western Chu Kingdom and the great ambitions?Yu Ji wanted to know very much, but then shook her head lightly. She didn't want to worry Xiang Yu because of herself, and even miss the future of the Western Chu Kingdom.

I don't even want to see him being brought to the front of the battle to threaten him when the two armies are facing each other, embarrassing him.So he wanted to die.But when she put her hand on her lower abdomen, she hesitated... She didn't have time to tell him the good news.I can just die like this, but this child...

Yu Ji shook her head lightly, before things got to the worst, she must live well, for their children!Of course, this matter must be kept secret, if the Han army gets the news, the unborn child will be even more rare!
At this moment, the gate of the palace opened, and many maids were frightened, even trembling.Concubine Yu raised her head calmly, and saw that it was not the wolf-like Han army that came in, but a radiant young woman approaching slowly. She had seen this person before, Liu Peigong... no, Lu Zhi, the wife of King Liu Bang of Han !

"Mrs. Yu Ji!" Lu Zhi shouted with a smile from afar, and the accompanying guards fell behind with great interest.

Concubine Yu could clearly feel the complacency in Lu Zhi's tone. That's right, she is now the wife of the victor, and she fully has this strength. The complacency is completely reasonable!
"Mrs. Liu!" Yu Ji was calm and unhurried. As the favorite concubine of the Overlord of Western Chu, she also had sufficient confidence, which was completely commensurate with her status.

Perhaps it was because Liu Bang was suppressed by Xiang Yu for too long, and Lu Zhi, who was involved, was also very uncomfortable.She had swallowed her anger for too long, and now she completely regarded herself as a winner, with a feeling of elation. One of the important purposes of her coming to see Yu Ji was to show off, and Li Ai felt the happiness that a winner should have.Let the other person feel that loss, feel vanity.Of course, she came here more at the order of her husband. Yu Ji has an important position in Xiang Yu's mind, and it will be very important for her subsequent actions.

After seeing Yu Ji's expression, Lu Zhi felt a little unhappy, and didn't see the loss and sadness that he wanted.

"Madame Yuji is still so beautiful!"

"Madam Liu has become more mature and precious!"

Lu Zhi heard it in his ears, and obviously felt that Yu Ji was mocking her for getting old and fading, and mocking him for being a villain!The two women started tit for tat at the first sentence they met.

Lu Zhi smiled and asked, "Isn't Madam Yu upset?"

"Why are you sad?" Yu Ji asked softly.

Lu Zhi laughed and said, "I'm afraid the Overlord of Chu may never see Madam Yu's beauty again!"

Yu Ji smiled lightly and didn't say anything. She was really worried, even a little scared, but she couldn't show it.At least in front of this arrogant woman, she must not show weakness in the slightest!

But Lu Zhi pretended to be stunned and said: "No, Bawang has a deep affection for his wife, and he will definitely come back to rescue with all his strength!"

Concubine Yu naturally knew what Liu Bang and Lu Zhi were up to, she was very sad and conflicted in her heart, but she still pretended to be nonchalant.Anguish piled up in her heart, and she forced a smile on her face. Such a huge errand made Yu Ji feel sick for a while, and felt a little uncomfortable in her lower abdomen.

In front of Lu Zhi, he had to endure it, absolutely not showing the slightest bit of telling.Otherwise, if this shrewd woman sees the flaw, the consequences will be disastrous!
At this moment, a crisp child's voice sounded: "Mother, uncle and aunt invite you to dinner!"

The person who came was Lu Yuan, the youngest daughter of Liu Bang and Lu Zhi. When she saw Yu Ji, she also kindly shouted: "Hello, Auntie!"

Lu Zhi looked at Lu Yuan in surprise, and asked suspiciously, "Do you know her?"

"Yes, mother, my aunt often came to visit me and my younger brother, and brought us delicious food and clothes. It was good for us!"

In any case, Lu Zhi was a woman, a mother. After learning that Yu Ji had treated her children kindly, she suddenly felt a little sad, and her other thoughts disappeared.Immediately stood up and said: "Thank you! These days, my wife will just rest here, and there will be no idlers to disturb you!"

Lu Zhi then got up, took his daughter's hand and left.

Little Lu Yuan waved goodbye to Yu Ji, and seeing Lu Zhi and many followers leave, Yu Ji showed a trace of pain on her face.Fortunately, Lu Yuan arrived in time and lured Lu Zhi away early, otherwise I don't know how long it will last!
Concubine Yu waved back the maids in the palace. Although they were all from Chu, it was inevitable that they would talk too much or be bought by the Han army.At this time, you must be careful about everything, and you must not leak the wind.When only the absolutely trustworthy personal maid, Alian, was left in the sleeping hall, Yu Ji couldn't bear it any longer, she pressed one hand on the small table, her expression was very painful!

A-Lian rushed forward and asked with concern: "Ma'am, what's wrong with you? Do you need to call the doctor?"

Yu Ji turned pale, and shook her head slightly: "No, absolutely not!"

Now he is regarded as a prisoner, how can he enjoy the good days when he stretches out his clothes, stretches out his hands to eat, and opens his mouth, and the doctor is on call.Furthermore, the secrets in the doctor's stomach will undoubtedly be exposed when the doctor comes, and he dare not take such a risk.Now you must be strong, only by persevering will you have a bright future!

A pair of miserable eyes looked at the sky outside the window, Overlord, where are you?
……

In the plains around Qichu, there was a dull vibration, and the whole ground trembled, which made people tremble. The scene of ten thousand horses being silent appeared here, and the trembling of the earth was made by the hooves of [-] war horses.It is the most elite cavalry of the Western Chu Kingdom, led by Xiang Yu, the overlord of the Western Chu Kingdom, who returned from the Qi Kingdom to rescue the capital Pengcheng!
Xiang Yu rode in the lead on the black-tailed horse. This horse was obtained in the Yanzhao area during the Battle of Julu. It is a rare and elite horse.It was at that time that he saw the power of cavalry, and began to collect horses and organize cavalry.Unexpectedly, it just came in handy!But he didn't know that in Jiangdong, his old friend Yin Xu also discovered this, and the formation and utilization of cavalry was far more powerful than him!
This time he returned to the army to rescue Pengcheng, and he used these cavalry without hesitation. Firstly, he pursued speed, and secondly, he expected an extraordinary increase in combat effectiveness, so as to achieve extraordinary results.Fighting infantry with cavalry will produce more powerful damage, and it will also be his first large-scale experiment!
Xiang Yu took the lead, waving his whip and hurried on the road, not in a hurry.He was very worried, worried that Liu Bang would gain a firm foothold in Pengcheng after waiting too long.He is more worried about whether his beloved beauty Yu Ji is safe or not?He wants to rush back as soon as possible, to create an impulsive illusion for Liu Bang, and lure him out of the city for a decisive battle!
The sun had begun to set towards the west, and there were still two or three days before he could rush back to Pengcheng. Xiang Yu was very anxious.But after running for a long time, it was time to take a break. Xiang Yu knew that he should not let [-] soldiers suffer with him for his own self-interest.What's more, after running around like this, they still have to participate in combat.

If this consumes too much energy, the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. As an excellent commander, he will not do such things that put the cart before the horse.So when they came to a river, Xiang Yu ordered the whole army to stop advancing and dismount to rest.

To Xiang Yu's surprise, not only did the soldiers not immediately dismount and sit down on the ground to rest, but they said righteously one by one: "Overlord, go ahead, rest at night, go back earlier to retake Pengcheng, and rescue Madam Yuji!"

"Rush back to Pengcheng and rescue Mrs. Yuji..."

"Rush back to Pengcheng and rescue Mrs. Yuji..."

The soldiers shouted in unison, and the sound shook the nine heavens.

After Xiang Yu heard it, he couldn't help feeling a little sad. He didn't expect that all the soldiers were so bloody and treated him so well!With such loyal soldiers, as a commander, what more can I ask for?Any kind of battle that can't be won?

Xiang Yu said excitedly: "The wishes of the officers and soldiers are taken, but we can bear it, and the horses can't bear it. Now rest well, let the horses drink water and graze, everyone should take the time to rest, recover physical strength, recharge your batteries, and rush back Only after Pengcheng can we have the strength to fight!"

"The whole army listened to the order, rested for half an hour, and then hurried on the road..."

Seeing that Xiang Yu was so resolute, the soldiers had no choice but to accept the order, sit down and rest obediently, and seize every moment to rest.

Standing by the river, Xiang Yu was very pleased to see the soldiers all over the ground. The soldiers worked so hard, united as one, this battle will be won, and Xiang Yu is full of confidence.Immediately, he raised his head to look in the direction of Pengcheng, and said silently in his heart: "Yu Ji, wait, you must wait for me..."

Xiang Yu didn't notice that when they were resting, in the woods not far away, several pairs of eyes kept watching their every move.

"Xiang Yu personally leads the army, there are about 3 people!"

"Okay, release the carrier pigeon immediately and notify San'in!"

These people are the spies of Yue Guo Feiying. After Liu Bang sent troops to Pengcheng, Yin Xu's every move of Xiang Yu was under Yin Xu's attention.So Feiying immediately sent spies to the border of Qi and Chu. When Xiang Yu mobilized troops to withdraw from the border of Qi and Chu, the spies from Yue country followed all the way to inquire about the specific situation. Now it has been confirmed clearly.

When the heads of the spies retracted, a few carrier pigeons fluttered from the edge of the woods and flew up. This way of fighting one after another, one of them would pass the news back, to Shanyin, and to Yin, the king of Yue. Xu hands.

……

The information from the Chu army and the news of the fall of Pengcheng reached Shanyin one after the other.Feiying's swift action has already established communication lines in some key locations, and now it is starting to exert a great effect.Vietnam can always get the battle report from the north at the first time.

It is conceivable that when the Vietnamese army participates in combat in the future, the effect and role will be truly huge!

Many people were surprised that the capital of the Western Chu Kingdom was captured so quickly, which was really unexpected.

In particular, it is the first time that a name like Peng Yue appears in people's field of vision with such an important image, and it is also the first time it appears on the stage of history!
"I didn't expect that Xiang Yu didn't know the people, and he handed Shanyin to such a person, and Liu Bangbing took the city without bloodshed. What a surprise!"

"Peng Yue was not Xiang Yu's confidant at the beginning. At this time, he was worried that he would not be Liu Bang's opponent, and it was reasonable to surrender!"

"Yeah, in a bloodbath, you might not be able to win, and you might even lose your life!"

"It should be that Liu Bang promised some high-ranking officials and rich salary, and Peng Yue's heart is moved!"

"This Peng Yue is also a person who sees profit and forgets righteousness..."

Yin Xu heard it, but he understood in his heart that Peng Yue is not ordinary, and things will not be as simple as they said.

Obviously, they all underestimated Peng Yue, but he knew in his heart that there might not be many people who knew Peng Yue better than himself.Peng Yue, one of the three most powerful princes with different surnames in the early Han Dynasty in history, and one of the most powerful generals under Han King Liu Bang, officially made his fortune.

Today everyone may ignore his existence and not pay much attention to him, but Yin Xu knows very well that this person will definitely be a man of influence on the Chu-Han stage in the future.Perhaps it is no longer possible to simply call it the Chu-Han struggle for hegemony...

With Peng Yue's ambition, it is difficult for Liu Bang to persuade him, and it is difficult for him to be tempted by simple temptations.This matter is essentially an exchange of interests. If Peng Yue wants to hand over Pengcheng so easily, the exchange of interests that Liu Bang will pay must be very heavy.

Just don't know what exactly?Yin Xu was wondering whether history would continue on the same track as before, and whether Peng Yue would still be the world-famous King of Liang?Then I thought about Han Xin's development trajectory, whether he will be in charge of Linzi in Qi State?These people may help me a lot in the future, whether intentionally or unintentionally!
But these are not important now. What Yin Xu really cares about now is the outcome of the Battle of Pengcheng, will it be the same as before?This is the basis!

Even Wei Liao, Li Si and the others were a little uncertain about this matter. Aren't they [-]% sure about the outcome of this battle?
Zhang Han said: "If Liu Bang sticks to Pengcheng, then no matter how brave Xiang Yu is, he can only look at the city and sigh!"

"So the key to winning or losing this battle lies in where the battle is fought!"

Yin Xu laughed and said: "Xiang Yu's military report has been delivered. Xiang Yu left the army at the border of Qi and Chu, led by Long Qie and Xiang Zhuang. He personally led [-] elite cavalry back to Pengcheng day and night!"

"Thirty thousand? I really admire Xiang Yu's courage, daring to fight against Liu Bang's 56 army with such a small force!"

"This is the courage and style of the overlord of Western Chu. If we win this battle, I'm afraid there will be a war story that will go down in history!"

"With such a huge disparity, it is difficult to win more with less!"

Yin Xu shook his head and said: "Xiang Yu's move will definitely not be rash and impulsive, but a wise move. It is inevitable to say that Xiang Yu is worried about Pengcheng's safety, so he rushed back to rescue in a hurry. This is not false at all! So he chose For all the cavalry, the speed can be guaranteed in this way!

We can realize that the key to this battle is to fight in Pengcheng, or to fight for the city!With Fan Zeng's scheming, Xiang Yu's way of using troops is naturally well known.Therefore, the rescue of Pengcheng does not matter how many troops there are.If Xiang Yu sticks to the city, no matter how many soldiers Xiang Yu leads back, so what?

Now he leads [-] Qingqi to rush back, just to make Liu Bang feel that he has an advantage, so he will carelessly go out of the city to fight him.In this way, the combat power and advantages of the cavalry can be brought into play. As far as I know, Liu Bang's army is almost all infantry, and it is not Xiang Yu's opponent at all! "

Wei Liao said with a smile: "So Xiang Yu's move is very wise! The key to success or failure is whether Liu Bang can see this clearly!"

"Fortunately, Liu Bang himself is in command of the army. If it were Han Xin instead, Xiang Yu's strategy might not be effective!"

Yin Xu couldn't help feeling a little worried. If Xiang Yu was defeated in the battle of Pengcheng, the situation in the world would undoubtedly turn to the side of Han, and it didn't seem to be of much benefit to him!Everything will change, this is a situation Yin Xu doesn't want to see!
The best result is that the two families will go to war, and the war will continue for a long time, but will things develop as I expected?Yin Xu is looking forward to it, the only thing he can do now is to wait for Pengcheng's battle report!
