Competing

Chapter 640 Chapter [-] Said Peng Yue

Xingyang has fallen and is already in the hands of Han.Cheng Gao became an isolated city, but Zhou Bo still held on to the city.

As a result, the most veritable isolated city appeared on the land of the Central Plains. The city of Xingyang was destroyed, and the palace of the King of Han was burned to ashes by a fire.However, Liu Ying, the prince of the Han Dynasty, escaped, and Zhou Bo was still a general of the Han army, and his persistence was not unreasonable.

After all, Zhou Bo was a tough guy. If he was an ordinary person, he might have surrendered directly under such circumstances.So that such a special situation appeared, Cheng Gao became a special existence, and undoubtedly became a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of the Vietnamese army.Cheng Gao was indeed eye-catching, and even a hidden danger, but Yin Xu only sent troops to take precautions, and did not take action for the time being.

Before that, Yin Xu wanted to complete another thing first—to deal with the Liang Guo issue.

The state of Han has already been considered annihilated in essence, and the next strategic focus of the state of Yue will definitely be the state of Qi, there is no doubt about it.However, there is still a state of Liang between the state of Yue and the state of Qi, and how to deal with it has become a problem.

It is not impossible to take Liang Guo by force, but it is undoubtedly not worth the loss.Peng Yue, king of Liang, was a brave general. Liang Guo still had an army of [-], not to mention a city as strong as Daliang to defend it.It must be difficult to take Liang Guo down, even if it is forced to take it down, it will inevitably cost troops and generals.

Before confronting Qi, the strength of the Vietnamese army was consumed first. In the future, the Qi armies of the two countries will take advantage of it, which is not worthwhile for the Vietnamese army.The unfavorable consequence is to force Peng Yue to Han Xin's side. If Peng Yue leads the army to join forces with Han Xin, Qi's power will be even stronger.

The move to defeat Qi will be very difficult, so Liang Guo and Liang Wang Peng Yue played an important role in it.So Yin Xu wondered if it was possible to win over Peng Yue and let him be used by me, to the side of Yue.It was not possible to do this before, but now times have passed and the situation has changed a lot, so it may not be ineffective.

"My lord, is it possible to lobby Peng Yue?" Su An was a little suspicious about this.

Yin Xu smiled lightly and said, "How will you know if you don't try?"

"But the conditions offered by the king seem to be difficult to impress Peng Yue." Su An's doubts were also here.

Yin Xu said: "Not necessarily! The key is whether Peng Yue is qualified to negotiate with the widow. Let the Yingbu soldiers surround Chenggao, and Pu Junbing force the leader. Put some pressure on Peng Yue."

After a moment of silence, Yin Xu continued: "Peng Yue should know that if he doesn't surrender, the result will be death. For the widow, the result is the same. After all, he can still capture Liang Qi's land, at most two or three years at night. Therefore, the widow is in In a dominant position, we have the initiative.”

Su An nodded lightly, as if he understood something, and said lightly: "I hope Peng Yue can understand the painstaking efforts of the king."

Yin Xuyun smiled lightly, and said: "The reorganization and training of the army is speeding up, and there is also a message to Zhang Han. Get ready, the day when Qi will go to war is not far away."

Qi and Yue are finally about to collide head-on, and Yin Xu and Han Xin are finally going to compete on the battlefield.

...............................................................

Daliang is located on the bank of the big river. After the king of Wei moved his capital here during the Warring States period, he built many artificial canals, and Honggou is one of the more famous ones.In order to communicate with the water of the big river, a dense water network was formed around Daliang, which made Daliang, a city completely on the plain, more barriers, and the military defense situation was also much better.

But there is a big disadvantage, the city near the water is also afraid of water with the water level barrier.At the end of the Warring States period, when Qin general Wang Ben destroyed Wei, he dug a big river, filled the beams with water, and finally broke the city.

Thinking of all these things, Peng Yue had a big head, and Daliang's defense seemed insufficient no matter what.However, with a force of one hundred thousand troops, the defense of such a huge city as Daliang seems a bit weak, not to mention that the opponent is the powerful Vietnamese army.

Peng Yue's heart was always up and down, uneasy.Ever since the news of Xingyang's fall came, Peng Yue has been like this, restless.

Hearing that the Yue army broke Xingyang because there were people inside and outside, Peng Yue couldn't help but wonder if there were people arranged by Yin Xu in the large number of cities.Or whether some of the generals under his command already have contacts with foreign countries, so the internal investigation has been strengthened, which made people panic.

The situation in Daliang became more and more serious, and Peng Yue's heart became heavier.

At this time, Peng Yue received a report, and the envoy of Yue State came to visit.

The Yue Kingdom sent envoys at this time, and Peng Yue probably understood some secrets, so he received them immediately.

The envoy of the Yue Kingdom who went to Daliang this time was none other than Du Shang.Since Yin Xu asked him to go to Jiangbei, it seems that this kind of task has become a habit, and he has become a professional envoy.

"See King Liang!" Du Shang bowed to Peng Yue.

"Excuse me, I don't know what the King of Yue sent his envoy to come here for?" Peng Yue did not dare to neglect the envoy of the Yue Kingdom too much.

Du Shang replied: "I am here to rescue Liang under the order of King Yue!"

"Save Liang? Does Liang need to be saved?" Peng Yue forced himself to remain calm.

Du Shang said: "Of course, the state of Liang will soon become a battleground between Qi and Yue. In order to prevent the people of Liang from suffering, the King of Yue specially sent his ministers to rescue Liang."

Peng Yue said indifferently: "Your envoy's words are serious, but I want to hear how your envoy can save them all?"

Du Shang smiled and said, "It's very simple. The king of Liang can choose one of two options. He can either surrender to Xiang Qi or surrender to Yue. Just push the battlefield to the border of Liang State."

Peng Yue's face became a little unnatural, and he forced himself to ask calmly: "Then which side does your envoy think the widow should fall to?"

Du Shang still smiled calmly, and said: "Well, of course, King Liang has to decide for himself, but he still has to consider which side is better to fall to? Don't bother thinking about it, and finally let the king of Liang decide. It’s good to be caught in the flames of war.”

Peng Yue's heart was even more uncomfortable, but the fact is that it is the case, a choice must be made, that's for sure.Just how should this choice be done?Liang Guo was sandwiched between Qi and Yue, and could not stay out of it at all, so there was no possibility of neutrality.For them, neutrality itself means leaning towards Qi and standing on the opposite side of Yue State.

"The envoy thinks which side is better for the widow to fall?" Peng Yue asked in a deep voice.

Du Shang said: "I am a native of Yue, so I naturally hope that King Liang will fall to Yue. However, before leaving, King Yue said that King Liang can choose whatever he wants. Of course, if King Liang is willing to go to Xingyang to have an audience, he can seal Xinling Hou."

"Fenghou? The widow is the king of Liang." Peng Yue was a little angry about this.

Du Shang said indifferently: "Zhang Han used to be the king of Yong, Ying Bu was the king of Jiujiang, and now they are all generals of the Yue Kingdom."
