Chapter 5 Rebellion

After hearing Wang Tiankai's words, Hu Zhu agreed without hesitation and performed much more enthusiastically than Peng Yue himself.

After the two returned to the palace to meet Peng Yue, Peng Yue had basically made up his mind and decided to send troops to rebel and capture South Korea. The only thing that made him uneasy was the issue of military strength. The Qin Dynasty's military strength was too strong, and it was not something that the small Liang Kingdom could fight against, even if the whole nation was the soldiers, the old, weak, women and children were not as strong as the Qin Kingdom, and that was impossible.

Wang Tian said, "The arrow must be fired on the string. Our conspiracy will definitely not be hidden from the Qin Emperor. It will be transmitted to Xianyang in at least half a month or a month. When the Qin Emperor asks for punishment, you can't escape. You should go back as soon as possible." Peng Yue thought to himself that he was a death, and there was no other way.

Hu Zhi also kept instigating: "Yes, king, isn't it just a rebellion and war? I haven't fought before, so what's scary? Isn't it over? I'll be willing to be a vanguard to defeat the Korean army in one fell swoop." Wang Tiankai saw that Peng Yue was still hesitating, and then added another fire and said, "Han* is a waste. Although South Korea has more than 100,000 troops, it's just a gift to you. As the saying goes, God will not take the blame instead, and the king will irreversibly move.

Peng Yue punched the counter and stood up suddenly: "Okay, you two will go to reorganize the troops immediately. Five days later, we will raise an army to attack Han. However, there must be a reason for rebellion, so we cannot promote an unknown soldier!"

Wang Tian said, "The reason is ready-made. The king can tell the people of the world, just say that the Qin Emperor conspires to seize the land of the princes of the opposite sex, and you have to rebel." Peng Yue was still obsessed with the previous words; "What about evidence? Who would believe our words without evidence?" Wang Tian said, "At this time, don't hesitate. Even if there is no evidence, you have to fight. When the Qin Emperor attacks, it will be too late."

Hu Zhe said: "That's right, the king must make a quick decision." Peng Yue felt a palpitation, and inexplicably felt that this uprising was too hasty and would not succeed at all. He felt a little sad in his heart and sighed inwardly, "Okay, let's listen to you two, you should be careful when you act, don't let Han * smell the smell."

Wang Tiankai and Hu Zhegong bowed and left the hall, leaving Peng Yue alone, feeling sad.

As soon as he left the door, Hu Zhi asked Wang Tian. "It seems that the king has not made up his mind yet." Wang Tian said, "It doesn't matter. Once the army is launched, it will be too late for him to regret it. Just go and prepare the military supplies and food. I'll go and rectify the troops." Hu Zhi was so excited that he was ready to fight, "I really wish I could enter Hangu Pass immediately!" Wang Tian thought happily, it was not easy, even Xiang Yu failed, let alone Peng Yue!

Wang Tian drove back to his residence and immediately wrote a letter to his confidant, rushing to Xianyang with horses. This was part of the plan, but in fact he had already stood on the side of Emperor Qin.

Five days later, Peng Yue's army was ready to go, and the secret letter from Wang Tian had arrived in Xianyang. Wang Zhu was very happy after reading the letter and knew that Peng Yue was going to attack South Korea. However, he did not take out the secret letter for the ministers, nor did he notify the King of Han to prepare in advance. Instead, he burned the letter and waited for Peng Yue to rebel.

On the night of the seventh day, Wang Zhu was sleeping soundly in Lu Zhi's bedroom, and was suddenly awakened by a burst of rapid footsteps. Wang Ao and Li Shiqi shouted anxiously outside the door, "Your Majesty, if there is military information, 100,000 yuan is urgent." Wang Zhu knew that Peng Yue had rebelled, but he deliberately asked in a daze. "The military information from there, Xiang Yu was dead, what military information? Could it be that the Huns were causing trouble?" Wang Ao's urgent voice came into his ears: "No, it was Liang Wang Peng Yue. Peng Yue who rebelled. Liang's troops had already attacked South Korea, and had occupied most of the territory of South Korea in one day and one night. The army had arrived in Yangdi, and Han * could not resist it. Your Majesty, 100,000 yuan is urgent."

Wang Zhu jumped off the couch and found that Lu Zhi was listening with her ears tilted and her hair was spreading on the side. She smiled, put on her clothes, walked out of the room, and closed the door with a clang.

"Peng Yue rebelled, it's unlikely that this is. I'm not bad to him."

Wang Ao thought to himself, your little thoughts are still playing tricks in front of me! Li Shiqi rushed to say, "It's true that Peng Yue has rebelled. Your Majesty, please give the order quickly, otherwise Peng Yue's army will reach Hangu Pass."

Wang Zhu thought for a while and said, "Peng Yue really rebelled?" Wang Ao coughed and said, "How dare we talk nonsense about military and national affairs?" Wang Zhu pretended to take a breath of air conditioning: "It is said that General Wang Ben and Zhou Bo are here to meet!"

When Wang Ben and Zhou Bo came to Dazheng Palace quickly and whipped, Wang Zhu and Wang Ao Li Shiqi had already studied the overall combat plan clearly. Wang Ben and Zhou Bo heard everything on the way. As soon as they entered the door, Wang Ben seemed very excited and said sternly: "Your Majesty, Peng Yue is ungrateful and rebelled against the Qin Dynasty. I request to go to the expedition."

Wang Zhu had already stabilized and raised his hand to signal Wang Ben and Zhou Bo to come to his side. He was watching with Wang Ao Li Shiqi around a map on the table.

"The Prime Minister and Mr. Li Shiqi mean that we should join forces with all the princes to attack together. First, we send people to inform King Qi Han Xin and King Huainan Yingbu, and let them send troops to attack Daliang on the Eastern and Southern fronts, and seize Peng Yue's retreat. Old General, you and Zhou Bo lead the Central Army out of Hangu Pass to give Peng Yue a head-on attack."

Wang Ben said, "It takes time to send letters to King Qi and King Huainan, so I am afraid that Han * cannot hold on." Wang Zhu waved his hand and said, "If Han * cannot hold on, he can only blame him for being incompetent. I discussed a complete strategy with the Prime Minister. We cannot abandon Han * just because of his incompetence."

Wang Ao said: "As long as Han* can hold on for four more days, Guan Ying and Ying Bu's army can conquer Daliang. If you are afraid of it, you are afraid--" Li Shiqi said; "What are you afraid of?" Wang Ao shook his head and said; "If you are afraid of Guan Ying and Ying Bu will not send troops." Wang Zhu said; "I issued an imperial edict to order them to send troops, how dare they not go out? Prime Minister, you are too worried." He thought to himself, it would be better to refuse to send troops. I just hope that he will not send troops. At that time, I will have an excuse to capture all these kings of different surnames.

Wang Ao silently. Wang Zhu knew that Wang Ao had guessed his thoughts and sneered in his heart. He didn't expect to hide it from Wang Ao. Li Shiqi seemed to be kept in the dark and kept echoing Wang Zhu and expressing his support: "That's right, Your Majesty sent two imperial edicts, are you afraid that they will be disobedient?"

Four days later, when Guan Ying and Ying Bu received a 100,000 urgent imperial edict from Xianyang, Peng Yue had already conquered Yangdi. Han * died in the chaos and could not even find his body, probably because he had broken bones and ashes. The Liang army incorporated more than 100,000 troops from South Korea and continued to advance towards Hangu Pass. Wang Ben and Zhou Bo had been ordered to lead a 500,000 army out of Hangu Pass to fight the rebels.

Before receiving the imperial edict from Qin Emperor, Guan Ying had already received the superstition of Peng Yue's invitation to a joint uprising. The above said that Wang Zhu could not accept the king of the other surname and wanted to frame Peng Yue, and Guan Ying was half-believing and half-doubted. Until he received the imperial edict from Wang Zhu, the imperial edict asked him to immediately mobilize the army of Qi to attack Peng Yue behind him, Guan Ying had been thinking about the credibility of Peng Yue's secret message. If Peng Yue said it was true, then the soldier could not be released. The best way was to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight. If Peng Yue was lucky enough to win, then the throne of the King of Qi would definitely be more steadily. Even if Peng Yue was not victorious, it could consume some of the Qin's vitality. In the future, it would not be so easy for Qin Emperor to attack the king of the other surname. On the contrary, if he really sent troops to attack Daliang and Peng Yue's commanding army returned, wouldn't he become the scapegoat of Qin Emperor?

Guan Ying and Peng Yue thought more and more that they could not send troops, so they could only wait and see. So they both wrote letters to ask for sick leave, saying that they had dysentery and could not get out of bed, and they were unable to dispatch troops and generals, asking Your Majesty to forgive their crimes, etc. After reading the letter, Wang Zhu was overjoyed, but on the surface, he was very angry and threw the letter to Li Shiqi who was standing nearest. Li Shiqi trembled and picked up the sheepskin and looked at it, and his face changed drastically. "What's the point? Han* is dead, Peng Yue's army is in a sharp edge, Guan Ying and Ying Bu are unwilling to send troops, and the general Wang Ben fought alone. If it fails, Hangu Pass is in danger."

Wang Zhu knew that Peng Yue was not Wang Ben's opponent at all, and was not worried at all, but there was a furious expression on his face and slapped: "Guan Ying and Ying Bu are clearly both words of rebuttal. Do they want to rebel with Peng Yue? I want to send someone to ask them?"

Wang Ao hurriedly stood up and said, "King, at this time, you must not send anyone. If you anger the two kings and make them really unite with Peng Yue, it would be like the Qin Dynasty lost half of the country!" Wang Zhu said angrily, "Then what do you want to do according to your wishes?" Wang Ao said, "First, please move your Majesty to Hangu Pass and personally fight like you did when dealing with Xiang Yu. Furthermore, Your Majesty should appease the two kings, reward more gold and jade, and instruct the two kings to be at ease and not worry about the war ahead, and stabilize them no matter how."

Wang Zhu thought about it and was right. He must not anger the two kings at this time, so don’t make mistakes and really lose the country. It’s better to follow Wang Ao’s idea.

"Where is Peng Yue's army now?"

Li Shiqi said, "I just received the war report today. Peng Yue had invaded Hanoi and fought fiercely with Mu Liangyan for a day and night. General Wang Ben's troops will arrive tomorrow morning." Wang Zhu said, "If you send an order, it means that I will personally conquer Hangu Pass in the morning. You can go down and prepare. Tell General Wang Ben that although the enemy is coming fiercely, there is insufficient support. You must be eager to win. Let him hold Peng Yue tightly, it is best to just defend but not attack."

The next morning, Wang Ben's army entered Hanoi County, and Mu Liangyan was simply thankful. If Wang Ben had been late for a few hours, he might not be able to withstand it. The attack of the Daze bandit army was too fierce, reaching a point of a thousand miles a day. The defense of Hanoi was only 20,000 to 30,000, and it could not be withstand it at all. The moment Wang Ben arrived at the front line, Wang Zhu had already led 200,000 troops out of Xianyang City to head towards Hangu Pass.

At noon, before the Daze Army attacked, Wang Ben and Zhou Bo personally led 50,000 troops out of the city to fight Peng Yue. Wang Ben wanted to say something to Peng Yue, and it would be best to persuade Peng Yue to hand over his weapons and surrender.

When Peng Yue saw Wang Ben coming out, he felt anxious and knew that it was difficult to capture Hanoi. Wang Ben and Peng Yue held each other across two trenches and said tremblingly; "Is Liang Wang Peng Yue the other side?" Peng Yue bowed; "General Wang Wang, Peng Yue is polite."

When Wang Ben saw Peng Yue's pretending to be relaxed, he didn't make a comeback and asked sternly, "Peng Yue, Your Majesty treats you well, why are you rebelling?"

Peng Yue was even more angry than him and said angrily, "It's not that Peng Yue wants to rebel, but that Your Majesty wants to plot against Peng Yue. If he is not kind, don't blame me for being unrighteous." Wang Ben didn't know the things Wang Zhu did behind his back, and he thought Peng Yue was talking nonsense. "Bold Peng Yue, your conscience has been eaten by dogs. Your Majesty loves you so much and rewards countless gold and jade. Why do you say that you are plotting against you behind your back? You should make it clear."

Peng Yue had no evidence, he couldn't explain it clearly, and he didn't have the intention to settle these old accounts with Wang Ben in front of the formation, and sneered, "Han Xin is right. Qin Ershi is a person who can only share hardships but not joy. General Wang, I advise you to be smarter and raise your troops to rebel with me, otherwise Qin Ershi will attack you sooner or later."

Wang Ben said: "It turns out that you were encouraged by Han Xin's dog thief. I heard that Han Xin had surrendered to the Huns regardless of his shame. Do you want to follow in his footsteps?" Peng Yue shouted: "The Huns are a hundred times stronger than Qin Ershi." Wang Ben said sternly, "I have nothing to say to you. Let me tell you the truth. Peng Yue, this general has brought 500,000 elite Qin forces this time, and the strength is twice that of yours. If you surrender now, I will protect you from death. If you are obsessed with it, the death period will not be far away."

Peng Yue took three steps forward with a sword and horse, sneering, "Wang Ben, Wang Ben, it's not certain whether your own life can be saved. You have to come to protect my life. It's so stupid."

Wang Ben sighed and said to himself, "It's stubborn-" Turning his horse's head and walking into the city. Peng Yue shouted behind him, "Wang Ben, if you have the ability, come out and fight to the death with me." Wang Ben thought to himself, how can I fight to the death with you at my age? I think so beautifully! Zhou Bo is young and energetic after all, and when he saw Peng Yue showing off his power, he hurried to Wang Ben and said, "The general leaves without fighting, it's just that it will affect the morale of the army."

Wang Ben said, "Peng Yue rebelled in a hurry, his defense was unstable, and food and supplies were difficult to guarantee. He would definitely want to fight quickly. The general refused to let him do what he wanted. I would drag him to death and pass on the orders to me. No one should go out to fight, and he would not be able to defend, so let them attack the city. Let the fortification soldiers step up to build bows and arrows, and we will wait for him at the top of the city."
