Some people always think that Peng Yue is the only parallel import among the three famous generals in the early Han Dynasty.
But anyone who has some understanding of the history of world wars will know that this strategist is the world's most formal and practical guerrilla warfare strategist. Perhaps he is not as good as Han Xin in commanding the army to form formations, but in terms of boosting the morale of the army and charging into battle, he is not as good as Han Xin.
He is not as good as Yingbu.
However, he was the first to adopt the tactics of enemy advancing, retreating, and chasing after the enemy in the Chu-Han War, which made Xiang Yu exhausted from fighting on both sides and prevented the Chu army's food and equipment from being supplied... The first in the world
Why is the man who developed the essence of guerrilla warfare not worthy of being one of the three famous generals?
However, this once famous general was now thin, pale, and looked sick.
Maybe it was because he suffered too many injuries during the battle, or maybe it was because he was getting older. In short, Peng Yue's health was getting worse and worse, and he was gradually unable to do things as he wished.
Peng Yue respectfully sent the Han envoys out of the palace to rest. He held Liu Bang's edict and sighed helplessly.
"Your Majesty wants me to go on an expedition in person...but my body has not recovered yet. What should I do?"
At this moment, General Hu Zou, who was standing aside, suddenly burst into tears.
Peng Yue was startled and asked hurriedly: "Why are you crying?"
"I saw that the king who was once equal to Liu Bang now has to kneel down to listen to Liu Bang's edicts, and is still worried about his accountability, so he sheds tears!"
Hu Le cried and said.
Peng Yue shook his head and said: "Back then, I followed Your Majesty to defeat Xiang Yu and made little contribution, so I was named King of Liang. This was already a great gift. Now that I am the king of Liang, it is already a great gift."
When you are satisfied, how dare you have other ideas?"
"Your Majesty, if you hadn't been involved with Xiang Yu, how could Liu Bang have become the emperor? You raised the army at the same time as him, why do you think you are so inferior to him now? You are ill now, but Liu Bang has urged you to send troops several times. This is because you want to
I want to kill you!"
Hu Zhuo said seriously: "Your Majesty, you did not go out in person in the first place. You were scolded by him and then led the troops there. Then you will definitely be caught by Liu Bang after you go!"
"I think it would be better to summon the soldiers you have dispersed in various places and lead them to send troops to revolt!"
"Although those brothers are no longer young, with you leading us, we have nothing to fear!"
Peng Yue sat on the throne, and his mind flashed back to the time when he fought with his generals in the mountains and rivers. At that time, he was still strong and faced Xiang Yu's army several times, but he always retreated calmly.
When encountering small troops, they would eat them, and when encountering large ones, they would flee. Xiang Yu's generals were all gnashing their teeth at Xiang Yu. At one point, killing himself was more important than killing Liu Bang.
"Do you still remember? When we captured Suiyang and Waihuang, Xiang Yu, who was confronting His Majesty, couldn't sit still. He vowed to kill me and led his army to give up the confrontation and come to get it.
I..."
"Of course I remember... As soon as Xiang Yu came, we took the food and left. Xiang Yu kept chasing and chasing, but he couldn't catch up... He was so angry that he almost vomited blood..."
"Hahaha, as soon as he chased me, I went north and took his Gucheng."
"Yes, hahaha, we took more than 100,000 hu of grain from Xiang Yu..."
When people get old, they just like to reminisce about the past. The two of them sat opposite each other, and they talked about the past that was once ordinary and unremarkable.
After chatting for a long time, both of them had tears in their eyes, but Peng Yue's face was full of smiles. Although many people are no longer here, the memory of them is still so clear.
"No... When we were young, we were always fighting. Now, when we are old... you are still capable of fighting, but I can no longer ride cavalry or ride in chariots... If we rebel,
Please stop talking about it. The old brothers followed us and fought in the north and south. Now they are at home with great difficulty, with their children serving beside them. We don’t want them to go back to the past..."
After hearing Peng Yue's words, Hu Noi was silent for a long time, and finally nodded.
Now that Liu Bang has been held accountable, Peng Yue can't continue like this. He first wrote a letter to Liu Bang. In the letter, he sincerely stated the reason. He was ill. The Liang State had just reduced its army not long ago and there were insufficient troops. However, your Majesty, don't worry.
, I will recruit young people as soldiers in Liang State, and then send my general Hu You to lead them to support you.
He ordered Hu Zhe to recruit troops in Liang and asked other ministers to prepare.
...
"Your Majesty...Liang Guo doesn't have that many horses at all."
"what are you saying?!"
Peng Yue looked at the servant in front of him angrily, "I know that Liang is short of horses, but we can't even get a thousand cavalry, right?"
The servant's face was red, he was hesitating and speechless.
Peng Yue slammed the document in front of him and said angrily: "In these years, for the sake of fighting me, I have pretended not to know what you are doing, but don't think that I am getting old.
It’s so easy to fool... The Liang Kingdom is so big that it can’t even gather a thousand cavalry... Within three days, if you can’t do it, don’t blame me for ignoring our original friendship!”
The servant was trembling with fear and hurriedly agreed.
Seeing the servant like this, Peng Yue couldn't bear it, "Don't I reward you enough on weekdays? If it's not enough, you can tell me directly, why do you do something disgusting? I am recruiting this time
The soldiers, whether it is armor, weapons, flags, or horses, are all very different from those recorded... Don't do this kind of thing again. This time, I will send people to fight with Your Majesty. This cavalry is no matter what
It’s got to be together!”
After the servant walked out of the palace, his face was very ugly. Where could he go to make up for it? The servant's family was also short of money and had no horses.
.......
"what did you say?!"
The envoy of the Han Dynasty who was about to take a rest was so frightened that he almost jumped up. His eyes widened and he looked at the servant of the Liang Kingdom in front of him.
"Prince Liang... Hu Zou... do they want to rebel?"
"It's like this. Hu Zhuo repeatedly denounced His Majesty's injustice in front of others and persuaded Liang...Peng Yue to rebel...and Peng Yue agreed to him. The two of them prepared to recruit soldiers and let Hu Zhuo attack His Majesty...
.”
The envoy couldn't sit still and was trembling with fear. This was a big deal. After thinking about it, the envoy calmed down again. If he could tell His Majesty this matter, wouldn't it be a great achievement? He immediately took out the
He asked the servant to explain in detail and recorded these words himself.
The next day, Peng Yue said goodbye to the Han envoy in person. He did not notice that the Han envoy's expression was different from the previous few days. He also became much more polite to him. There was a smile on his face, but underneath the smile, there was something hidden.
A sharp blade.
A few days later, the servant of Liang Kingdom suddenly disappeared.
Peng Yue was furious, thinking that he was absconding out of fear of crime, and reported the matter to Liu Bang, who also wanted the servant in the country.
.......
Liu Bang's face was gloomy. He looked at the silk book in his hand that recorded Peng Yue's rebellion, and his hands could not help but tremble.
"Another one...another one...all of them...all of them!"
Chen Ping was as calm as ever. He took the silk book and read it carefully. After reading for a moment, he frowned. He vaguely felt that the content in the silk book seemed a little unreliable. How could there be any rebels?
How could he declare rebellion first and then recruit troops? Even if Peng Yue is old, he won't be so stupid, right?
He looked at Liu Bang carefully, but Liu Bang was very angry at this moment, gritting his teeth and said: "I love him so much, and he actually wants to rebel against me! I can't wait to eat his flesh!!"
Chen Ping didn't believe that even this wily man could not see through what he could see through at a glance. Since he saw through it without saying anything, there was no need for him to tell the truth.
"How do you think we can catch him?"
"He is not ready to rebel yet. There are not enough troops in the country. He can send one person with thousands of people to rush directly into the palace, capture Peng Yue and Hu Zhu, and escort them out of the Liang Kingdom. In this way, the Liang Kingdom can
