Chapter 101
It was late at night, and the sound of oars suddenly came from the river water near Pingyingu, Sanchuan County.
After a while, the dark boat passed out of the water mist. Before the boat could dock, thousands of figures jumped off the boat and wade onto the south bank of the river. Then the remaining boats turned around and sailed into the water mist and disappeared.
After stepping into the cold water, Xiang Zhuang sighed unconsciously.
This is the fourth time that the Chu army has crossed the river in just half a month.
After seven days, Gao Chu and more than five soldiers of the Nufeng Camp finally dragged more than 150 large and small ships near Heyong County in Henoi County. Long before, the various Chu troops of Qiao Zhuang's hungry people had arrived in Heyong County. The Zhao army did not send troops to capture the fleeing Chu army. After all, there were hundreds of thousands of hungry people fleeing to Zhao, and the Zhao State was not short of people.
As soon as the ship arrived, the Chu army began to cross the river. In less than half an hour, the first batch of more than nine people set foot on the south bank of the river!
As soon as Xiangzhuang got ashore, dozens of figures came to the darkness. The first person was to climb the camp, Sima Gongsun Sui. As early as when Wushe crossed the river south, Gongsun Sui selected dozens of dead soldiers to go south. Gongsun Sui had two tasks on this trip, one was to assist Wushe in implementing a divisive plan, and the other was to convey the message.
"See General!" Gongsun then strode forward and bowed to Xiangzhuang. The dozens of death soldiers who had climbed the mountain behind him also bowed to Xiangzhuang.
Xiang Zhuang waved his hand and asked, "How is the situation?" Gongsun Sui said, "There is no news from Mr. Wushe yet, but there is movement in Luoyang."
After taking a breath, Gongsun Sui said again: "About four hours ago, an army of about 5,000 people set off from Luoyang and headed east. The villain followed the Han army halfway and found that he was heading towards Hulao Pass."
Xiang Zhuang's eyes lit up immediately and he turned to Wei Liao and said, "Military advisor, what do you think?"
Wei Liao stroked his long black beard as dark as ink and said, "General, if there were no special reasons, the Luoyang defenders would definitely not leave the city at night. This shows that Mr. Wu She's plan of disagreement has already been put into effect. Ao Cang's Liang army and Han army may have had a conflict. Otherwise, Lu Ze would never have transferred troops from Luoyang to guard against Hulao Pass!"
Xiang Zhuang said again: "Military advisor, how many defenders will be left in Luoyang after transferring 5,000 people?" Wei Liao replied: "Luoyang is the governor of Sanchuan County, and Lu Ze is cautious enough. I estimate that Luoyang defenders should have transferred 5,000 people between 8,000 and 10,000 people. Now there should be 3,000 to 5,000 people left in Luoyang City..." After saying this, Wei Liao suddenly turned his head and looked at Xiang Zhuang and whispered, "General, are you thinking..."
"Military advisor, why not?" Under the night sky, two balls of fire were burning in Xiang Zhuang's eyes.

Ao Cang, the front, left and rear camps of the Han army were successively captured by the Liang army. The remaining soldiers of the Han army retreated to the central army and the Right army continued to resist stubbornly. Although it was already dark, Peng Yue had no intention of withdrawing troops and returning to the camp. He still ordered the Liang army to surround the north, west and south of the Han army camp, and there was no movement in the east.
Lu Shizhi broke into Lu Ze's tent for the fifth time. 1 said in panic: "Brother, take advantage of the lack of troops in Liang's army and the surrounding area has not yet been surrounded by all sides. Let's quickly break eastward and go to Puyang to the King. If you are a little late, wait for the general Liu Kou and Hu Zhe under Peng Yue to arrive. If you want to break through, you will have no chance!" "Going east?" Lu Ze said coldly, "That is the lack that Peng Yue deliberately left behind."
Who is Peng Yue? He is a ruthless person who beat Xiang Yu helplessly. Will he make such a low-level mistake?
Lu Shizhi said: "But we can't just defend the camp like this? If we defend, we will defend to death, brother!"
"Shut up!" Lu Ze said angrily, "Last night, Brother Wei sent someone to Puyang to deliver a letter. With the ability of Zhang Liang and Chen Ping, it is impossible for him to know the seriousness of the situation in Liangdi. If nothing unexpected happens, the king should have personally raised the army to rush here. So, we must persist until the king arrives no matter what!"
Lu Shizhi said: "But Puyang is nearly four miles away. The king leads the army to walk at most a day, which means it takes at least four days for the king to arrive at Ao Cang, but we are afraid that we can't even hold on tomorrow." "Don't worry about this, just keep your own camp!" Lu Ze said this and said sternly, "Tell me the ugly words for my brother. If you can't keep the camp, don't blame me for not thinking about brotherly relationships!" Lu Shizhi was really angry when he saw Lu Ze, and immediately made a promise and retreated timidly.
Watching Lu Shizhi's figure go away, Lu Ze sighed quietly at the direction of Puyang. If King Xinfu cannot arrive before dawn tomorrow, the tens of thousands of troops under his command will really not be able to save them............
…………
Liu Bang had actually arrived in Ao Cang, and it was in the forest outside the Han army camp.
This time, Liu Bang only brought Yu Qi's personal soldiers, and drove four miles back to Ao Cang in one day and night.
This time when Liu Bang came to Ao Cang, the reason why Liu Bang did not come back with the army was that it was too late and the problem could not be solved. At least at this stage, Liu Bang did not want to solve all the princes through force. After all, Liu Bang did not believe that Peng Yue would rebel against the Han Dynasty. There must be some misunderstandings in the middle. The most urgent task is to take decisive measures to stabilize Peng Yue!
Looking around, the Liang army was surrounding the Han army camp and attacking fiercely, with fierce battles.
After rubbing the old waist that was almost numb because of the pain, Liu Bang turned to look at Chen Ping and said in a deep voice: "Chen Ping, do you think there will be danger in seeing Peng Yue now?" Chen Ping said: "I think I won't."
Liu Bang looked at him and asked, "How can I see it?" Chen Ping pondered for a moment and replied, "King Liang may have become suspicious of the king, but it may not be said that he has the intention to rebel against the Han and become independent. I think that King Liang is not a very ambitious person. At most, the king only needs to agree to promote him to King of Chu, and all the problems will be solved." Liu Bang nodded when he heard this, and then left. At the critical moment, Liu Bang, a market mate, was still very decisive, otherwise he would not have the power and status he has today.

In the Liang army camp, Peng Yue was drinking in the big tent, Wu She and Kuai Che fought with each other.
The emperor and his ministers were drinking, and the personal military captain Peng Ming suddenly stepped in and reported: "King, the Wei rebels in Aocang City have abandoned the city and fled!" "Ah?!" Peng Yue was shocked when he heard this, and only focused on attacking Lu Ze to avenge him, but forgot about Aocang.
After calming down, Peng Yue asked anxiously again: "Where are the corn in the city, and there are hundreds of thousands of fuzi?"
"The rebels did not burn the corn, nor did they take F Ming away to say this, and said, "However, it is said that there is not much corn left in Aocang City."
"How many are there?" Peng Yue said, "Send troops to take care of them quickly."
"No!" Peng Ming responded with a loud promise and immediately set up a tent to arrange soldiers to Ao Cang.
Peng Yue sighed and was about to sit back on the table and continue drinking when the curtain was lifted up again.
When Peng Yue looked back, he saw that Liu Bang had already walked in under Chen Ping's escort. When he saw Liu Bang, Peng Yue was shocked and said in a lost voice: "King?! Why are you here?" Wu She, who was accompanying Kuai Che, was also very surprised and hurriedly got up to greet him.
Liu Bang ignored Kuai Che and Wu She, but said to Peng Yue directly: "King Liang, do you want my level? If so, I will be here, just take it." Peng Yue immediately knelt down on the ground and said in panic: "King Liang, what are you saying?" Liu Bang said: "Since King Liang doesn't want my level, why should I send troops to attack my army?" "King Liang, this is all forced by Lu Ze." Peng Yue hurriedly said, "If Lu Ze hadn't designed to assassinate Xiao Wang, how could Xiao Wang have made such a bad move?"
Liu Bang said: "Since that's the case, I have rushed back now, so how about leaving this matter to me?"
Peng Yue hurriedly said, "Since the king has returned, the king should decide this matter." After that, Peng Yue turned his head and shouted, "Come on, immediately order the entire army to stop the army and return to the camp!"
In an instant, a constant sound of horns sounded outside the tent.
The Liang army soldiers who were just attacking the Han army camp began to turn around and retreat. In less than half a cup of tea, tens of thousands of troops retreated from the Han army camp. Even the bodies of Liang army who died in battle were taken away. Only Han army corpses were left everywhere, as well as swords, shields, swords, and halberds abandoned everywhere.
……………………
In the Liang army's tent, Peng Yue had already retreated from Kuai Che, Wu She, and Liu Bang also retreated from Chen Ping.
Liu Bang and Peng Yue talked for a long time in the tent, and no one knew what they said. However, when Liu Bang got up and left, the two of them had tears on their faces, as if they had just cried. Peng Yue was even a little dazed, and finally he reluctantly sent Liu Bang outside the Liangjun camp.
After seeing Liu Bang away, Peng Yue returned to the tent, Kuai Che followed and said anxiously: "King, Liu Bang has already delivered his level to his door. You must not miss such an opportunity. Please quickly fight and kill Liu Bang! As long as Liu Bang dies, Guanzhong will be in chaos, and the king will have the opportunity to win the world!"
"Enough." Peng Yue frowned and said, "I don't want to listen to this kind of nonsense anymore!"
