Half an hour later, Chen Zhen and the other generals all returned.
Everyone stood in the camp, led by Chen Zhen and said: "General, the notice has been announced. All the soldiers in the army support the general and are willing to follow him and submit to the Kingdom of Shu."
Hearing this, Peng Yue breathed a sigh of relief.
It's done.
Peng Yue calmed down and continued: "Is there any resistance during the notification process?"
"No!"
Chen Zhen opened his mouth to answer.
The rest of the people also said that they did not encounter any obstacles.
After Chen Zhen and everyone else expressed their opinions, Chen Zhen said again: "General, you love your soldiers as much as your own son, and your kindness to the soldiers in the army will be seen in their eyes and remembered in their hearts."
"Moreover, today's Han Dynasty is already in decline and has lost its former glory."
"Even Han Xin and Yingbu submitted to Shu and became Wang Can's ministers. Liu Bang's strength continued to weaken and he would not be able to rise for long. So when the news came out that the general was going to submit to Shu, all the generals and soldiers in the army were willing to submit to Shu.
country."
"After all, moving a tree makes a dead person move a living thing."
Chen Zhen said: "Everyone is willing to follow the strong and submit to Shu together with the general."
"That's good!"
Peng Yue nodded.
He thought for a while and then ordered: "We are less than ten miles away from Sanshui County. We will set off early tomorrow morning. When we arrive in Sanshui County, our entire army will surrender to the Shu Kingdom. Pass this news on so that all soldiers will know it.
."
"Here!"
Chen Zhen and other generals responded with clasped fists.
After everyone retreated, Peng Yue sat alone in the tent, thinking about the follow-up arrangements.
According to what Chen Zhen said, there was not a single person in the army who resisted, which made Peng Yue a little suspicious. Although Peng Yue carried out drastic reforms in the army, assigned his own people to the army, and left Liu Bang's people idle, there was no one in the army.
There is still Liu Bang's power.
However, these forces are very weak.
Even if these forces are weak, Peng Yue does not think that they will willingly submit to Shu.
So, these are disasters.
Peng Yue's mind was spinning, and after calling the soldiers to give instructions, he got up to rest.
The night was dark and the military camp was quiet.
In the camp, soldiers on night patrol conducted orderly patrols to ensure the safety of the troops.
Northwest of the camp.
Suddenly more than ten men in black appeared. The leader was a tall, middle-aged man. His name was Liu Guan, a native of Peixian County. Although his surname was Liu, he was a close friend of Liu Bang.
No, they are just fellow villagers with the same surname in the same county.
Liu Guan was a military commander and his martial arts were very good.
However, until now, he is just a partial general, and his official position is not prominent.
But when he went north, he was summoned by Liu Bang.
Liu Bang promised to promote him to General Fenwu after the crusade against Han Xin was over, and asked him to monitor Peng Yue's actions in the army and be responsible for sending Peng Yue's actions to Chengdu to let Liu Bang know.
Peng Yue had been continuously purging Liu Bang's forces before, and Liu Guan sent the news back.
Liu Bang also got the news.
However, Liu Bang said nothing and did not arrange for anyone to warn Peng Yue.
The reason is very simple. When Liu Bang asked Peng Yue to go on an expedition, Peng Yue put forward conditions, saying that he would have full command of the army and no restrictions from the rear. Liu Bang needed Peng Yue to defeat Han Xin, so even though Peng Yue kept promoting his cronies, Liu Bang tolerated it.
Liu Guan only reported news about Peng Yue's previous actions and did not take any action.
After all, his official position is low.
In the army, Peng Yue will not pay attention to him, and he will not be cleared out by Peng Yue.
Originally, Liu Guan's plan was to lurk all the time. But tonight, he suddenly got the news that Peng Yue was going to lead his army to submit to Shu and become a minister in the same palace as Han Xin. This made Liu Guan unable to lurk anymore.
Liu Guan arranged for the soldiers to leave overnight and returned to Chengdu eight hundred miles away to tell Liu Bang the news.
At the same time, Liu Guan was also ready to take action.
If he didn't take action, Peng Yue would raise his troops and surrender. So Liu Guan and his ten trusted generals prepared to enter Peng Yue's camp and kidnap Peng Yue in order to control the army.
As long as Peng Yue is captured, the army can be ordered to retreat.
Liu Guan's idea is very simple.
He did not seek to defeat Han Xin, but only sought to control Peng Yue and then preserve this army.
"Be careful and don't make a sound."
With a sword hanging at his waist, Liu Guan and ten of his confidants quickly approached Peng Yue's camp. When they arrived near Peng Yue's camp, they hid in secret and observed.
There were two soldiers stationed outside Peng Yue's camp.
This is Peng Yue's personal guard.
"General, let's pretend that we have something important to report. As long as we enter the camp, it will be easy to capture Peng Yue."
Beside Liu Guan, a soldier whispered.
"No!"
Liu Guan heard this and refused directly.
The soldier asked: "Why?"
Liu Guan did not get angry when faced with the soldiers' doubts. He explained: "The reason is very simple. I am just a partial general. What qualifications do I have to see Peng Yue? Even if something happens, I should report it to the superior general."
"It is precisely because of my low position that I was not eliminated by Peng Yue."
"If I had a high position, I guess I would have been dealt with by Peng Yue a long time ago. In fact, this is why His Majesty asked me to monitor Peng Yue. I am a quiet person and there is no way that Peng Yue will find out."
Liu Guan's eyes flashed and he said: "One more thing, Peng Yue is also a general in the army, and his martial arts skills are not low. We entered in the name of reporting things, and it will be very difficult to capture Peng Yue."
"Once the soldiers come, we will be defeated."
"So, it must be a surprise."
"My plan is to approach the camp in the name of reporting and tell the guard guard that we want to meet Peng Yue to lower the guard's vigilance. Then, we will take the opportunity to make a sneak attack and capture these two guards."
"As long as we take down the personal guards, we will sneak into the camp. Peng Yue, who is sleeping soundly, cannot stop our sneak attack even if he is very skilled in martial arts. We can go all out and take down Peng Yue completely."
Liu Guandao: "This is our opportunity."
"The general is wise!"
After hearing what Liu Guan said, the soldiers quickly agreed.
The rest of the people also nodded.
Liu Guan was still hiding in the dark. He waited until the night patrol soldiers passed by, then stood up and led more than ten soldiers straight to Peng Yue's camp. When they arrived outside the camp, the guard stationed at the camp yelled: "Stop, what do you want?
?”
A smile appeared on Liu Guan's face and he said: "Please go and inform me that Liu Guan has something important to report. I discovered a conspiracy to betray the general."
When the guards heard this, they immediately became nervous.
As Peng Yue's personal guards, they also knew that Peng Yue was going to submit to Shu. The guard standing on the left nodded to another person, indicating to the other guard to look at Liu Guan and others, then turned and went to the camp.
Liu Guan was waiting for this moment. When he saw the bodyguard turning around, he shouted: "Do it!"
Immediately following, Liu Guan rushed forward.
The moment Liu Guan rushed towards the guards on the left, the soldiers beside him rushed towards the guards on the right.
Their attacks were all as swift and violent as thunder.
As soon as he made a move, he covered the bodyguard's mouth with one hand, held a dagger in the other hand, and stabbed it into the heart of the bodyguard.
The two guards immediately fell down every time they made a sound.
Liu Guan asked his soldiers to drag away the bodies of his guards, and asked his soldiers to guard outside the camp. Then he quietly sneaked into the camp with eight soldiers.
He entered the tent, bypassed the meeting place in the tent, and went to the couch behind the tent screen.
"ah!!"
Liu Guan entered with a look of shock on his face and couldn't help but utter a cry of surprise. As he entered, he saw Peng Yue sitting on the bed, wearing armor and a long sword on his lap, as if he had been waiting for a long time.
When Peng Yue saw Liu Guan entering, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and he said: "This general had already expected that there would be an assassination attempt tonight. Unexpectedly, it did come. The fact that you guys came here means that the guards stationed at the door
, have encountered unexpected events. It is not easy for you to pass the test of my personal guards."
Liu Guan's eyes were cold and he gritted his teeth and said: "Peng Yue, Your Majesty treats you so well, you actually betrayed His Majesty and wanted to take refuge in Shu. You are an unforgivable sin. Even if you are quartered by random horses, you still deserve it."
"Hahaha……"
Peng Yue burst out laughing when he heard Liu Guan's words.
The laughter is full of ridicule.
Did Liu Bang treat him well?
This is the funniest joke he has ever heard.
Peng Yue said solemnly: "After I surrendered to Liu Bang, I made great contributions to Liu Bang without any thoughts of betrayal. However, I was massacred. In this life, Liu Bang was afraid of me and left me idle. This is not disrespectful to me.
?”
After hearing this, Liu Guan counterattacked: "Thunder and rain are all your kindness. No matter how your Majesty treats you, you should respect him, be loyal to him, and cannot betray your majesty."
Peng Yue said: "I told you that Liu Bang treated me well, and you said that I must be loyal. Hum, you are Liu Bang's dog, I, Peng Yue, am not."
Peng Yue looked at Liu Guan with sharp eyes.
He felt that the person in front of him had some impression, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in Peng Yue's mind, and he thought of Liu Guan's name and said, "You are Liu Guan, who serves as a general in the army. You are from Peixian County and a fellow countryman of Liu Bang."
"it's me!"
Liu Guan nodded and answered.
Peng Yue said: "I didn't expect that you would be the one assigned by Liu Bang. I also didn't expect that you, a partial general, would dare to take action."
Liu Guan mocked: "If I were not a partial general, I would have been cleaned up by you Peng Yue. Peng Yue, I have reported everything you did in the army to Your Majesty. Including your decision to surrender tonight, I have also reported
Send someone to deliver it."
Peng Yue said: "Liu Bang is indeed Liu Bang. He has gone to the extreme in monitoring his ministers and not trusting them."
Liu Guandao: "Peng Yue, no matter how you criticize His Majesty, it will not change your outcome. Although you have been prepared and have great martial arts skills, you are alone in the camp and cannot stop our attack. Just now, we were patrolling the night.
The matter was gone. Even if I shouted, no one nearby would respond."
Peng Yue said: "Who said I have no one?"
"Everyone come out!"
Peng Yue gave an order.
In an instant, soldiers suddenly emerged from the tents on the edge of the self-camped tent. These soldiers were all wearing armor and holding sharp swords. They surrounded Liu Guan.
There are more than twenty soldiers.
They were all arranged by Peng Yue long ago.
Peng Yue had long expected that he might be assassinated tonight, so he made adequate preparations. (To be continued)
