Competing

Chapter 406 Chapter [-] Xiang Yu Phobia

The palace of the King of Chu in Pengcheng has now been occupied by Liu Bang, the king of the Han Dynasty, and Jiu, the princes of the Central Plains.

At this time, Han Wang Liu Bang and all the princes were sitting in the hall, drinking happily!

After the capture of Pengcheng, everyone thought they had won the victory, and they were all very excited. The past few days have been full of singing and singing every night, with endless feasts.

Seeing this, Zhang Liang couldn't help feeling a little worried.The most worrying thing is that the King of Han is too satisfied, and the three armies are arrogant!The arrogant soldiers must be defeated, Han Xin's words rang in his ears.The current situation is exactly like this, it is nothing for the time being, but after a long time, Xiang Yu's army will return?It is really a hidden danger.

Naihe couldn't dissuade them at all, which made people very worried. When he discussed with Xiao He and Han Xin in Guanzhong, he said that the principle of winning this battle was to defeat Xiang Yu, not to occupy Pengcheng.But now Liu Bang seems to have completely turned the cart before the horse. Coupled with the praise of many generals and princes, Liu Bang is completely effective.Zhang Liang wanted to persuade him, but he really had no chance at all. Even if he said it, how could the king of Han, who is the only one who respects me at this time, listen and enter!

What's more, he still has other things to be busy with. Hundreds of thousands of troops gathered in Pengcheng, and the supply of food and grass became a problem that must be solved urgently.Xiao He followed Han Xin's suggestion, and the food and grass were mainly gathered in the Xingyang generation, and no one paid attention to the front line from Daliang to Pengcheng.The army moved too fast, and the supply of food and grass was already somewhat insufficient.

If you want to stick to Pengcheng, you must ensure sufficient, and there is no delay.Zhang Liang was very helpless, he could not allow other princes to get involved in these matters, and the Han army was mainly accompanied by military generals, so these things were done carelessly.In addition, the Daliang area that had just been occupied also needed to maintain order. Zhang Liang was afraid that others would delay the important event, so he had no choice but to go there himself.

Of course, he was still worried that Liu Bang would forget his advice and easily leave the city to fight Xiang Yu.Before leaving, Zhou Bo was specially told to keep in mind to dissuade the King of Han, and then he left!

As soon as Zhang Liang left, the spies of the Han army hurried into Pengcheng and went straight to the palace hall!

At this time, Liu Bang was having a banquet with many princes, singing and laughing constantly.The princes flattered Liu Bang a lot, and flattered him constantly.There is really no way, Liu Bang is now the dominant family, and these little princes are living under Liu Bang's wings.If the king of Han is angered, the country may be destroyed, and the survival of the weak princes is indeed difficult.

Many princes in the Central Plains have something hard to say, especially those who have ambitions in their hearts, such as Wang Bao of the Western Wei Dynasty.At this moment, he can only sit here drinking wine and flattering him with a forced smile.Of course, there are also people who are very happy, and that’s Peng Yue. Now that the Han army has entered Pengcheng, and only after Xiang Yu’s counterattack is repulsed later, Han King Liu Bang should fulfill his promise, and he will ascend the throne of Liang King up!
In the past few days, Peng Yue hinted at this intentionally or unintentionally, and Liu Bang readily agreed without too much prevarication.Peng Yue was not worried about this. After all, Lu Zhi had already given himself the imperial edict bearing the seal of the King of Han, and it was impossible for Liu Bang to lose his trust in the world because of this matter!
At the banquet, Peng Yue noticed a person, that is Wang Bao of the Western Wei Dynasty!His Peng Yue's wife, Xinyuan, was from the royal family of Wei, but belonged to the lineage of Lord Xinling, while Wei Bao was the younger brother of Lord Ningling Wei Jiu, and belonged to the lineage of King Wei Anli.It can be said that King Wei Anli caused Lord Xinling to lose his power and finally died of drunkenness in the wine pool.

Therefore, the members of the Xin clan have always remembered this enmity, and in their generation, it will naturally fall on Peng Yue and Wei Bao.Peng Yue was secretly proud of himself. He wondered if Wei Bao would be pissed off when he ascended the throne in Daliang in the future!As for revenge against Wei, we will proceed step by step later!

Peng Yue didn't know, he was paying attention to Wei Bao, so why didn't Wei Bao notice him?Peng Yue couldn't think of it, it was lost, King Wei Anli's favorite man, Lord Longyang, a famous official of Wei State, is still alive, and he is the counselor behind Wei Wangbao.Not only that, but the most important thing is that Lord Longyang has been paying attention to his old rival Mo Zhe Xiangli family, so Wei Bao knows all about Peng Yue becoming the son-in-law of Xin family.

Even Wei Bao could guess that the old gentleman next to Peng Yue had an extraordinary identity, he should undoubtedly be Chen Qingshan, the rich son of the Mozhe Xiangli family!
Of course, these belonged to the internal struggles of the old Wei State, and there was no direct conflict yet.It is also hidden in the heart, and has not been revealed for the time being. On the surface, it is also kind and friendly. Of course, outsiders don't know it, but there are no secret struggles...

When the main hall was singing and feasting, a shocking news came...

"To the King of Han, Xiang Yu rushed back with an army of [-], less than two hundred miles away from Pengcheng!"

"What? Xiang Yu led his army back?"

The pot suddenly exploded above the main hall, and many people trembled involuntarily.Since the Battle of Julu, the princes have had a great fear of Xiang Yu.That day outside Julu City, walking on knees, dare not look up has left a huge shadow on them.The reason why he dared to attack Xiang Yu this time was because he really had resentment in his heart, and secondly, he was coerced by Liu Bang and wanted to take the opportunity to take revenge or gain some benefits.

It is good to win Pengcheng, but the real benefit seems to be Hanwang Liu Bang.Now that Xiang Yu is back, Xiang Yu's great reputation and bravery made them very afraid. Xiang Yu must blame and punish them if he wins.
Hearing the news of Xiang Yu's return to the teacher, Liu Bang was also a little shocked, but when he saw the reactions of the princes, the shock in his heart became heavier.Unexpectedly, Xiang Yu's weight and prestige among the princes is so high, it is already an indisputable fact that he is afraid of Xiang.

At this moment, Liu Bang was very jealous.

He knew that these princes smiled and respected him on the surface, but their fear of Xiang Yu came from the heart.

Liu Bang was a little annoyed, and secretly made up his mind that when he must defeat Xiang Yu, let these princes know who is the real king, and let them truly submit to him.Immediately, he gave Fan Kui a wink, saying that he was not suitable to say some things!

"Isn't it just Xiang Yu? As for being so afraid, could it be that they are all cowards?" Fan Kui's voice was very loud, and everyone in the hall could hear it clearly, beating on everyone's heart.

Only then did the princes raise their heads, and when they saw Liu Bang, who was expressionless on the throne, they fell silent.At this time, you must maintain a certain level of stability. It is not good to be called a coward and a coward, and it will be even more troublesome if you make the King of Han unhappy!

Liu Bang pretended to be angry, and reprimanded: "Fan Kuai, step back, don't be rude!"

The princes knew that the King of Han was indeed angry, but not to Fan Kuai, but to them.Everyone wanted to say something, but they didn't know how to speak.

It was Zhou Bo who broke the silence first: "King of Han, Xiang Yu only led 3 troops. As long as we defend Pengcheng and rely on high walls and deep pools, Xiang Yu can only look at the city and sigh!"

"Yeah, Xiang Yu is only worth 3 troops, and we have 56 troops..." It was 56 in name, but 40 in actuality, now including Peng Yue's troops, it is more than 40!

"That's right, we have ten times more troops than Xiang Yu, what are we afraid of him doing? Could he be our opponent!"

"That's right, our army is dispatched, and we can wipe them all out easily!"

Fan Kuai's words were originally intended to curb the fear of the princes, but the effect seems to have exceeded expectations and set a tone.All the princes spoke one after another, pointing out Xiang Yu's weaknesses and emphasizing their own strengths.One tone is getting louder than the other, for fear of appearing timid!They echoed one after another, basically they didn't think too much about what they said, let alone thought it through carefully, this meeting was completely echoed for the sake of pandering!
"Isn't Xiang Yu still two hundred miles away? We are now deploying defenses outside the city, waiting for his arrival and annihilating him!"

"That is, you don't have to stick to the city, just go out of the city and have a decisive battle with Xiang Yu! This is an unprecedented opportunity, and we can rest assured that we have wiped out the devil Xiang Yu in one fell swoop, can't we?"

"Yes, let's go out to the city for a decisive battle!"

"Out of the city for a decisive battle!"

……

The princes turned from panic just now to confidence and courage in an instant, their morale was high, and they shouted out of the city for a decisive battle!

Liu Bang was a little moved. If Xiang Yu only had 3 people and he had 40 people, he was fully capable of fighting against him.He had been suppressed by Xiang Yu before, and was in a very passive situation.It can be seen from the fear of the princes of Shicai towards Xiang Yu, as long as he defeats Xiang Yu in this battle, he will definitely be able to get the surrender of the princes!

Just when Liu Bang opened his mouth to say something, Zhou Bo reminded him from the side: "The King of Han, Mr. Zhang Liang said, he, Marshal Han, and Prime Minister Xiao suggested that it is the best way to stick to Pengcheng, and Xiang Yu will die in vain. return!"

Liu Bang suddenly remembered what Zhang Liang told him when he hurried all the way to Daliang.The reason why Peng Yue's surrender was exchanged for Daliang and the reason for taking Pengcheng as soon as possible is to rely on the city to fight Xiang Yu decisively.The three important ministers all suggested that they should not fight Xiang Yu outside the city. Thinking of this, Liu Bang hesitated again!
Fan Kui didn't take it seriously: "King of Han, before Mr. Zhang Liang was worried about Xiang Yu's army returning to aid, now he has only brought 3 troops, so don't be too cautious! If you miss the great opportunity to wipe out Xiang Yu because of this, it is not worth it! "

Liu Bang was a little moved again, yes!Xiang Yu only has [-] soldiers and horses, which is indeed a great opportunity, how can he let it go like this for nothing.If he let go today, even if Pengcheng was defended, Xiang Yu would still escape. Could it be that he was letting the tiger go back to the mountain?In the future, it will be a big trouble for him. With Xiang Yu around, Liu Bang always feels that he cannot sleep or eat.The princes have a phobia of Xiang Yu, so why doesn't he Liu Bang?
