Chapter 239

Xiang Zhuang never expected that Pang Yu had already arrived at the city of Dong'ou!

The matter has to start more than 20 days ago. More than 20 days ago, just as Xiang Zhuang led a 20,000 army into Lujiang, Pang Yu also led 5,000 elite soldiers to Niaoshang County (now Yiwu City).[..com]

After Pang Yu led his army to Wudai, it rained heavily for three consecutive days!

Early in the morning of the fourth day, when Pang Yu brought more than a dozen personal soldiers out of the city to observe the terrain, he saw a group of people coming from the road ahead with the elderly and children. When Pang Yu stepped forward and asked, he realized that a village ahead had been flooded by a mountain torrent. More than 100 households and more than 50 people in the village had escaped, but only more than 50 people were escaped.

Pang Yu quickly ordered Wushang County Magistrate and the county magistrate to resettle refugees.

After settled the victims, Pang Yu lit up five hundred sharp soldiers to dig out the village flooded by the mountain torrent, hoping to rescue a few survivors. Unexpectedly, he would really rescue an old man buried under a collapsed house. During the chat, the old man accidentally said something touched Pang Yu's nerves.

The old man told Pang Yu that mountain torrents will break out here every summer, and roads or bridges will be destroyed every year. However, this year, the entire village has been flooded for the first time. Finally, the old man told Pang Yu that based on his "experience." There will be heavy rainstorms in the next few days, so it is best for the Chu army not to leave the city to avoid mountain torrents.

The old man originally wanted to warn Pang Yu, but Pang Yu was moved after hearing this. He immediately sent someone to send the old man back to the county town, and then inspected the mountains on both sides of the road in the rain. Finally, he finally found a steep valley fifty miles south of Wushang City. There were two mountains hugging each other and the road passed in the middle. It was the only way for the army from east to north!

Moreover, under the heavy rain for several days, the mountains on both sides of the valley have become extremely soft. With slight external intervention, a large-scale mudstone mountain torrent is likely to erupt!

Pang Yu did not hesitate anymore and immediately sent troops up the mountain to dig dike to divert the flow, guiding the two streams in the mountains to rush to the mountains on both sides of the road to create mountain torrents by artificially creating mountain torrents. Pang Yu's intention was very obvious, which was to artificially create a large-scale mudstone torrent, completely destroying the only passage from the east that entered Wushang!

As long as this passage is destroyed, the army will inevitably reopen a passage from the mountains and valleys. In this way, it is impossible to take a few months. But a few months later, the Xiangzhuang army would have returned to Jiangdong. At that time, Nu Luoyao would have to retreat to Dongji in shame.

However, it is not easy to create a mountain torrent artificially.

Although God had rained for two consecutive days, Pang Yu also drained and washed away the mountain as much as possible, but the expected mud and rock torrents had not arrived for a long time. On the third day, it was reported that the army in the east was less than fifty miles away from the mountain pass. Pang Yu had no choice but to give up his efforts to withdraw Wushang.

However, just when Pang Yu had given up, an unexpected surprise came unexpectedly.

Si Luoyao's army did not realize the danger and went straight through the valley where the water and soil were already extremely soft. The front army, the central army and the imperial guards of Nu Luoyao all passed by safely. However, when it was the rear army's turn to provide supplies, Pang Yujiu and others had not arrived, the mud and rocks that had not arrived finally roared down 5,000 soldiers and a large amount of supplies, food and fodder were all buried alive by %% of the voyage without writing!

Five thousand soldiers died without fighting, tens of thousands of stones of military rations and a large amount of supplies were destroyed by slaves. The 40,000 Dongji army was suddenly in desperate situation. What's more, the mud and rocks have completely destroyed the Chidao. It is impossible for the Dongpai Army to retreat to the Dongji Kingdom, at least it is impossible before the sky clears.

The Dongji Army suddenly suffered natural disasters, and rumors suddenly broke out in the army.

The ancients of this era believed deeply in the theory of ghosts and gods. The soldiers of the East easily linked the mountain torrents with the will of heaven.

Although Pang Yu was young, he was talented and well-read military books. Of course, he would not miss such a great opportunity and immediately drove the troops to cover up the killing. The Dongji army had already been disintegrated and had no intention of fighting at all. Pang Yu led the Chu army to charge, and the Dongji army was defeated like a mountain, and Nu Luo Yao was also shot and killed by Pang Yu in the chaos.

In the battle of Wushu, Pang Yu defeated Dong'ou for 5,000 with 5,000 yuan, beheaded more than 20,000 yuan, captured thousands of animals alive, and the rest went to the mountains to die.

After the war, there was a continuous clear weather, and the mudslide that blocked the road became a dry and hard road. Pang Yu made a quick decision and made more than 4,000 elite soldiers in the headquarters and two thousand strong people. He rushed to the capital of Dongji Kingdom along the road. After five days of marching, Pang Yu's army was defeated at the Dongmai city!

well, well, well, well, well

Guangling, Huainan Army Camp.

When Kuai Che walked to the front, Ying Bu sighed in the hall.

Seeing the etiquette, Kuai Che asked directly: "Why did the king sigh?"

Ying Bu did not answer, but handed the few wooden slips in his hand to Kuai Che. Kuai Che reached out to take them, arranged them on the table again, and then looked at them and changed his expression slightly, and said sternly: "Xiang Zhuang defeated the plum blossom?"

"And this." Ying Bu handed a silk book to Kuai Che again.

After reading the silk book, Kuai Che's face changed even more: "Zhuyi also made the Linjiang army capture?!

"Major, we have fallen into the trap.

"Yingbu sighed, "Xiang Zhuang is not in Qu'a at all."

"This Xiang Zhuang is really cunning." Kuai Che's expression was a little embarrassed. Xiang Zhuang was not in Qu'a. He had guessed it for a long time, but he just didn't tell Ying Bu.

Ying Bu's expression suddenly became ferocious, and he said, "Prime Minister, since Xiang Zhuang is not in Qu'a, it is now a good opportunity to advance. It is better to set up a large army and kill Wujiang and defeat the main force of the Chu army stationed in Qu'a with lightning speed? In this way, even if Xiang Zhuang returns to Jiangdong, he still has no soldiers in his hands. What can he do to me?"

Kuai Che said: "But the king, the Chu army stationed in Qua has exceeded 70,000. Although Xiangzhuang is not there, he will definitely leave a general to lead the army. It is not easy to defeat it in an urgent manner."

Ying preached: "Xiangzhuang can defeat Mei Yan with 20,000 people, which shows that everyone is equipped with elite soldiers. Then the ones stationed in Qu'a can only be the temporary recruitment of strong men from various counties. This is a group of mobs, so what if there are 100,000? I have 50,000 elite troops under my tent, and I can defeat them without any effort!"

Kuai Che said: "If the two armies are in stalemate, Xiang Zhuang suddenly returns to the army..."

"I'm afraid I can't come!" Ying Bu waved his hand and said loudly, "If nothing unexpected happens, the 50,000 Dongji army of Nu Luoyao has now entered the hinterland of Kuaiji County. Even if Xiang Zhuang returns to Jiangdong, he will only rush to resist the Dongpa army. He will definitely not care about Qu'a's side. There should be Liyang, Zhou Yin, Jin Xu, Li Zuoche and others. They should also take action."

Kuai Che was silent. He always felt that he should not turn against Xiang Zhuang now. In Kuai Che's opinion, Ying Bu's biggest enemy should be King Han Xin of Qi, not King Xiang Zhuang of Chu. Therefore, Kuai Che always believed that Huainan should build Chu as well as possible to fight against Qi in the north. Otherwise, once the Qi army heads south, Huainan would be in danger!

You know, Liu Bang had long assigned the East China Sea, Qinshui and Xue County to Qi, and Yingbu seized the three counties. Although Han Xin didn't say anything, who knew what he was thinking? Although there was no movement in the Qi army now, Han Xin even reduced his troops, but that was just to accumulate national strength.

Once Qi restores its national strength, it will definitely raise troops from abroad. If Qi raises troops, it will most likely not chew on the tough bones of Liang Wang Peng Yue. Once Liang is destroyed, the Qi army will face the Han army directly. Han Xin obviously will not do this. Then his biggest possibility is to go north to Zhao State or south to Huainan.

In Kuai Che's opinion, it is obviously impossible for Ying Bu to resist Han Xin alone, but if he can join forces with Xiang Zhuang, the situation will be different. It is precisely because of this that Kuai Che strongly opposes the feud with Chu.

However, Kuai Che also had to admit that it was indeed a good opportunity to destroy Chu State!

Xiang Zhuang was not there, and the Chu army was full of elite troops. With the tens of thousands of strong men of Chu who were stationed in Qua, it was impossible to stop Ying Bu's elite troops. In addition, there were also slaves Luo Yao, Zhou Yin, Jin Xu, and Li Zuoche who were watching him from the side. Chu was really dangerous. Even if Xiang Zhuang could quickly return to Jiangdong, it would be too late.

Seeing that Kuai Che remained silent for a long time, Ying Bu said again: "What about the Prime Minister?"

Kuai Che sighed. Just as he was about to speak, Ma Ye, a banister in front of Yingbu tent, suddenly hurried in. Before he could see the ceremony, he said in panic: "King, Jiang Zuo is urgent to report!"

Yingbu said in a deep voice: "Speak!"

Ma Ye bowed and said, "Jiang Zuo Xizuo just sent back the news. Chu general Pang Yu defeated the Dongji army with five thousand troops and horses in the bird injury, beheading more than 20,000. Dongji's wife Luo Yao was also shot and killed by Pang Yu. Now, Pang Yu has launched all his army to attack Dongji's country, and maybe Dongou Kingdom will be destroyed!"

"Huh?" Kuai Che couldn't help but change his expression slightly when he heard this.

"Pang Yu?" Ying Bu's face also changed drastically, "Why haven't you heard of it?"

At this moment, Ying Bu was really a little scared. Xiang Zhuang's tent had many talents. Any unknown soldier could defeat the army of 50,000 East with 5,000 troops? No wonder Zhou Yin, Jin Xu, and Li Zuoche had been struggling in Jiujiang for several months, but he could not conquer a small Liyang County. I was afraid that the defenders of the city would be unusual.

At that moment, Kuai Che said: "King, the army of Nu Luoyao's East has been destroyed. Zhou Yin, Jin Xu, and Li Zuoche have not been able to capture Liyang for a long time. If our Huainan army crosses the river, it will have to face the Chu army alone. Xiang Zhuang has defeated Mei Jing and will return to Jiangdong in at most half a month. Once our army cannot win quickly, it will be difficult to escape without any hesitation."
