Competing

Chapter 53 Jumping the beam clown
Yin Xu and Yingbu rushed to Pengcheng first and began to besiege the city together. Liu Bang also cooperated with him and brought five thousand soldiers to help.Xiang Liang arrived in the afternoon of the second day after receiving the news, and more than 4 troops completed the encirclement of Pengcheng.

As soon as Xiang Liang arrived, Yin Xu and Ying Bu, who were strikers, went to see him immediately.In the big tent, Xiang Liang was sitting at the head, Yu Ziqi and Chen Ying were on the two sides, and they were the only senior generals in Pengcheng now.

"See the Marshal!"

"Hehe!" Xiang Liang immediately smiled and got up to help the two of them up. He was obviously very satisfied with the result of the Battle of Tongshan and acted very friendly.He smiled and said, "Get up quickly, Tongshan is doing very well, very well!"

Yu Ziqi nodded secretly. As a general who had followed the Xiang family from the beginning, he knew Xiang Liang's habits very well.Xiang Liang seldom uttered a good word, and now he uttered two "very good" in a row. This is extremely rare, which shows how satisfied he is with this matter.

Thinking of Long Qie's previous arrogance, Yu Ziqi couldn't help shaking his head, the news would come back to Kuaiji sooner or later, it seemed that they were disappointed.At the same time, I have a new understanding of Yin Xu and Yingbo, and it seems that they really deserve their reputation.Breaking through the Copper Mountain within two days, Yu Ziqi thought to himself that it would be impossible, fierce general!

Yin Xu exchanged glances with Ying Bu, and said respectfully: "Thank you Marshal for your compliment, we are just lucky, we caught up with Liu Peigong to help, and the deputy general Su An took the initiative to surrender, so it went so smoothly."

Xiang Liang sat the two of them down, laughed and said, "I've heard about it, but you broke the Tongshan Mountain alone, and the credit is indisputable."

Seeing this opportune moment, Yu Ziqi and Chen Ying expressed their congratulations.

Speaking of Liu Bang, Xiang Liang then asked about it, and suddenly Pei Gong appeared at the door, which already aroused his interest.

Speaking of Pei Gong, when Pei Gong arrived, Xiang Liang's voice fell, and someone came to report that Pei Gong and Liu Bang came to visit.Out of etiquette, Xiang Liang stood up to greet him politely, and Yin Xu, Yu Ziqi and others had to follow him to the door.

With a smile on his face, Liu Bang brought Zhang Liang, Xiao He, and Fan Kui to visit. At present, his relationship with the Kuaiji Army is a cooperative relationship.Knowing that the commander-in-chief Xiang Liang is coming, it is necessary for him to come to visit, but what he didn't expect is that he came so early.

"Liu Bang in Pei County has met Marshal Xiang!" Liu Bang looked very modest and lowered his profile to see him.

Xiang Liang smiled and reflected Liu Bang into the account: "Liu Peigong, please hurry up!" Although there were only 5000 people helping the battle, the political significance was greater than the practical significance, and it had to be so for face.

While walking, Xiang Liang said: "Thanks to Pei Gong's timely army assistance this time, our army was able to capture Tongshan in time and approach the city."

Liu Bang, on the other hand, gave way again and again and dared not take credit for it.

Looking at this scene, Yin Xu couldn't help shaking his head secretly.It's still early now, Xiang Liang and Liu Bang are so affectionate, if he knew that many years later, this person will take away his Xiang family's country and force his nephew to commit suicide in Wujiang, would he be so polite?Will he chop him to death with a sword without hesitation?History may be fate. In Yin Xu's eyes, history has not changed much, and it is not easy to change much. At least he himself has no intention of changing history.The right time for everything is obviously not now.

"Mr. Zifang!" Xiang Liang quickly noticed Zhang Liang.

Liu Bang's heart was shocked, why?Does Xiang Liang also know Zhang Liang?His eyes fell on Yin Xu again unconsciously. Could it be that he has already broken up with Xiang Liang?In his eyes, Zhang Liang is now a treasure, and there is absolutely no room for loss.If someone poached a corner, Wang Tu's great career would have collapsed in half, so the atmosphere was tense.

Zhang Liang smiled and said, "Zhang Liang has met Marshal Xiang!"

Xiang Liang said with a smile: "Mr. Zifang is too polite. My Xiang family has always remembered the kindness of saving my younger brother. In a few days, my younger brother will go north. Let him personally thank Mr. Zifang!"

Yin Xu knew that Xiang Liang was talking about Zhang Liang's rescue of Uncle Xiang, so he was not surprised.Liu Bang finally breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that there was still such a thing. Seeing Zhang Liang explain it politely, he was relieved.

As for Xiao He, Fan Kui just greeted him symbolically. Xiang Liang didn't pay too much attention, but suddenly turned his head to Liu Bang and said, "I heard that Liu Peigong stayed in Pengcheng? Fortunately, he chose wisely and turned to the light! I have to ask, How are Jing Ju and Qin Jia? How is Pengcheng's defense?"

Liu Bang's face changed slightly, Xiang Liang's question made him a little uneasy.Staying in Pengcheng may imply that he once took refuge in Qin Jia. As for abandoning the dark and turning to the bright, that is a good way of saying it, but it is ugly to say that he has betrayed his old master.It is true to abandon darkness, but he did not vote for "brightness". Did Xiang Liang mean something else?As for attacking Pengcheng, it seemed that it was even more out of his turn to dictate.What does Xiang Liang want to do?What is the purpose?blame?Probing?Or is it a common question?Liu Bang was a little uncertain.

Liu Bang hesitated slightly, and said: "Jing Ju and Qin Jia are just clowns, and they are treasonous if they claim to be kings. Pengcheng is a soldier guard, and they have disagreements. The generals are willing and vulnerable."

"Haha, the clown who jumped on the beam said it well, well said! This kind of person is purely overthinking his abilities and seeking his own death. I will learn from it in the future!"

The meaning of this sentence is more obvious, and the meaning of the previous sentence is even more obvious. Yin Xu secretly said: "It's the first time we meet, this is Marshal Xiang giving Liu Peigong a horse Weiha!"
Xiao He's expression was dim, and he was not happy with the game, but Zhang Liang didn't care, he looked calm, and sat in front of him drinking.Liu Bang is a fine person, so he still doesn't understand. He smiled nonchalantly: "What Marshal Xiang said is that you should do what you can and do things according to your ability, and be considerate, so that you can take it as a warning." Liu Bang is such a man who can bend and stretch.

At this moment, Pu Jun came to report that Qin Jia had escaped from the northwest side where the defenses were the most loose.That area was Liu Bang's defense area, and Cao Shen also rushed over.

It turned out that Qin Jia saw that Pengcheng was besieged and the number of defenders was stretched, and the morale of Xiang Liang's army was even lower after the siege.Surely this Pengcheng guard can't hold it anymore, is he just sitting here waiting to die?Rather than being humiliated and dying after the city is broken, it is better to fight to break out and maybe there is still a way to survive.After all, there is King Wei in the west, and King Yan and King Zhao in Hebei. Maybe there will be someone willing to take him in...

After observing, he chose the northwest side, which is Liu Bang's defense area. Because he and Xiang Liang's Kuaiji army have not yet run in, there must be many loopholes in the guard.Although many of the Pengcheng army that Yongchi surrendered were loyal to Qin Jia, so it was not difficult to escape.So this scene happened now!
As soon as Liu Bang heard Huo Di stand up, Fan Kui wanted to rush back to find out, but was stopped by Xiang Liang: "As Peigong said, it's just a clown, a trivial matter! No need to work hard, two masters, come here! You go and end it !"

Seeing Xiang Liang's meaningful eyes, Yin Xu didn't understand, and immediately responded.Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he went out of the tent and led the army to chase after him.
