Competing

Chapter 54

Qin Jia could only be regarded as a clown, and chose to run away without hesitation when danger and responsibility came.Abandoned his original oath to stick to Pengcheng, abandoned his puppet King Jingju of Chu, and abandoned the remaining tens of thousands of defenders in Pengcheng.He led his four thousand cronies to break out and fled to the west of Huling. Judging from the direction, it was probably Wei Jiu and Zhou Shi who defected to the state of Wei.

The news was reported to Xiang Liang's central army account immediately, and Liu Bang, the Duke of Pei, was very nervous about it, because it was his Peixian army's defense line that fell.He wanted to take the responsibility immediately, but of course he didn't take an opportunity, and he wanted to send Zhou Bo or Cao Shen to pursue him.

However, Xiang Liang, the coach, did not blame him, nor did he give this opportunity, and sent Yin Xu to chase Qin Jia before Liu Bang spoke.At the same time, Yu Ziqi and Yingbo were sent to attack Pengcheng. Qin Jia's departure had already caused Pengcheng's army to completely lose their fighting spirit, and their defense was full of loopholes.Under such a situation, it is believed that Pengcheng will fall within half a day, and this conquest will end in Xiang Liang's overall victory.

What needs to wait now is the result of Yin Xu's battle. As long as he can completely wipe out Qin Jia, this battle will be a complete victory.

Liu Bang sat on his seat with a smile on his face. When the good news came, he frequently congratulated him, and he really had a special feeling in his heart.Xiang Liang's move was obviously to guard against himself, and to distribute all the credit for this battle to his generals, in fact, he was taking it into his arms.As for myself, hum!Liu Bang understands that in Xiang Liang's eyes, he is an unpopular little character.

On this day, Liu Bang felt deeply humiliated, and his inner desire for status and power continued to expand.Perhaps it was on this day that he formed an indissoluble enmity with the Xiang family, and all the so-called so-called things in the following years may have nothing to do with today.

The winner is a prince and the loser is a thief, 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, no one would have expected this kind of thing, let alone Xiang Liang.Undoubtedly, his reputation was greatly improved in the First Battle of Pengcheng. Although Yin Xu and Yingbu actually fought Tongshan and Pengcheng down by themselves, the greatest credit was naturally given to Commander Xiang Liang.After this battle, Xiang Liang's prestige among the princes of the world has increased unprecedentedly. This is also why this descendant of the famous general of Chu State is a little bit smug, which is doomed to future failure.A misstep is an eternal hatred, and sometimes failure means the loss of life...

As soon as he returned to his camp, Liu Bang's face darkened immediately, and Fan Kui even cursed: "What the hell? Look down on us, can Tongshan and Pengcheng be captured so quickly without us? Crossing the river and demolishing bridges, being ungrateful, and giving all the credit to your own people What do you think of us?" Although Fan Kui is real, he has been in Xiang Liang's Chinese army camp for a long time, and he has also seen the way, obviously he himself has suffered a big loss.Although this guy was unhappy, he couldn't help but not explode on the spot, it was really not easy.

Liu Bang had a sullen face and didn't speak. After all, they just recruited Yongchi. As for Tongshan, Yin Xu and Yingbu took it first.When Fan Kuai said this, he really exaggerated his own role a bit.

Xiao He sighed: "Then Yin Xu has always respected Peigong and was very enthusiastic about us. It's just that he didn't expect that Marshal Xiang Liang would have such an attitude..."

Zhou Bo had already learned the content of the previous conversation from Fan Kui, and said in a deep voice: "Xiang Liang made it clear that he doesn't want to see us, and he doesn't look down on us at all."

"It's no wonder that he is the son of General Xiang Yan, Shangzhu Kingdom! Who are we? Can we compare with others?" Fan Kui's words were full of sourness and resentment, which couldn't be more obvious.

Liu Bang said coldly: "Forget it, people have to bow their heads under the eaves." Said that they can bend and stretch, there are not many people who can compare with Liu Bang.

He said so, but the generals under him were unwilling, and they argued and argued together.

Xia Houying said: "Fortunately, Pei Gong had a great foresight before. We are only cooperating with the Kuaiji army, not affiliated. Otherwise, I'm afraid life will be even more difficult."

Cao Shen shook his head: "No, if we really belonged, Xiang Liang would be more polite. Yin Xu and Ying Bu are the best proofs. The reason why we show embarrassment to us is because we are weak and we are alone. He may I feel that all rebels should join him as Generalissimo Xiang."

"This time in the battle of Pengcheng, Xiang Liang's military achievements and prestige have risen unprecedentedly, and he is not a bit arrogant. His descendant of a famous general, the status of Shangzhu Kingdom and the vision he should have, such a person is not worthy of attachment." Xia Houying While retorting, his eyes fell on Liu Bang's face. He knew that even if Xiang Liang was the Ming Lord, Liu Bang would not easily join him.As the first person to follow Liu Bang from Pei County, Xia Houying knew Liu Bang very well, and he knew Liu Sange's ambitions and ambitions better than anyone else.

Liu Bang smiled faintly, raised his head and asked, "What do you think? How will we proceed next?"

Fan Kui was still angry, and said first: "Yin Xu may not catch up with Qin Jia at this moment, I will take someone there right away, if we catch him first, the credit will still be ours."

"No way!" Zhou Bo shook his head, and said rationally, "Although Xiang Liang's attack is obvious, no matter how dissatisfied we are, we must save face. If we directly send troops to pursue Qin Jia like this, it is not clear that we are competing with Yin Xu ?"

Xiao He added: "That's right. Firstly, Yin Xu was offended. Although he is young, he has made a lot of achievements. It is rare for him to be polite to us. Offending him is not a conscious choice. Second, Xiang Liang will definitely be very angry, and it will be even more difficult for us. "

Xia Houying said: "There is another possibility. Even if it is Fan Kui, you captured Qin Jia or killed him. This credit may not be yours. If you help Yin Xu pursue Qin Jia, the credit will change. It’s better not to do thankless things.”

Liu Bang didn't express his opinion, but turned his attention to Zhang Liang, who had not spoken, and asked his opinion.The small ambush by the Kuishui River was planned by Zhang Liang alone, and it was affirmed by everyone. Coupled with Yin Xu's strong praise, everyone's respect and admiration for Zhang Liang is increasing day by day.When you encounter a problem at this time, you will naturally think of him.

Zhang Liang smiled lightly: "In fact, General Fan is right, this credit is very important, we can't lose it all."

Uh?Everyone didn't understand what Zhang Liang meant, but they knew that he would have something to say, so they were full of expectations.

Zhang Liangdao: "The credit for chasing Qin Jia and capturing Pengcheng belongs to Marshal Xiang's several generals. There is no need to compete with them. It is useless. As for assisting Yin Xu, it is not impossible. It is said that Qin Jia is going to Hu Ling. went."

Zhang Liang paused for a moment, his eyes swept across the faces of the crowd, and continued: "Hu Ling belongs to the edge of Pengcheng's forces, but it is close to Wei, and the Wei people have been eyeing it. If Qin Jia arrives in Hu Ling, the Wei people Zhou Shi will intervene, and Yin Xu's pursuit will not stop. It will be very smooth, if you can capture Hu Ling at this time and provide convenience for Yin Xu, isn't it also a credit?"

"Isn't this credit too small? With so much effort, it feels like making wedding clothes for others." Fan Kui was obviously a little angry.

Xiao He, Zhou Bo and others obviously saw something, Liu Bang said: "Continue talking!"

"Xiang Liang's move to Pengcheng was inevitable. He was originally a prime minister, so it was inevitable that the Kuaiji army station would be moved to Jiangbei. Pei County is too close to Pengcheng, while Huling is relatively far away. With credit, there is also a place to live. Yes. We have benefits." After Zhang Liang finished speaking, he looked at the crowd and laughed without saying a word.

Everyone was stunned, after all, it was because of the transfer of the base area!
