Wang Can waved his hand and said: "You will know whether you are a sage or not. Now, what we have to do is to defeat Liu Bang and capture the entire Yizhou. Guo Jia is still in Shu County, and my confidant Cao Cao is revolting in Ba County.
.Now we have also captured Sanshui County. Now that our military strength has increased, we can expand to the surrounding areas of Sanshui County."
Han Xindao: "What your Majesty said is true. During this period, we have captured the villages and towns around Sanshui County and have established a stronghold. The next step is to sweep Guanghan County and capture Guanghan County as a bridgehead for the Shu Kingdom to attack the Han Dynasty.
.”
Wang Can nodded and agreed with Han Xin's analysis.
Peng Yue asked: "Your Majesty, aren't you ready to show up?"
"No!"
Wang Can answered directly.
It is not suitable for him to be exposed now, it is still best to hide in the dark.
Once Wang Can is exposed, Liu Bang may pay more attention to it and may even mobilize the most elite forces to attack Guanghan County.
This is what Wang Can doesn't want to see.
Wang Can drew a map of Guanghan County based on the impression in his mind, and said: "Now that we are going south to occupy Guanghan County, I am going to divide our troops into two groups, one going west to seize the Guanghan County vassal state to the west of Guanghan County; the other group will
Go south and capture Zitong County. We must seize the time now and capture the entire Guanghan County before Liu Bang reacts."
Han Xin took the initiative and said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to go to the country of Guanghan County. I have been acquainted with the Qiang people in Xiangshan Mountain before, and Yinpingdao of the country of Guanghan County is originally a place where Qiang people, other Di people, and Xianbei people live together. I am willing
go."
"good!"
Wang Can immediately agreed.
Peng Yue took the initiative and said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the troops south. In fact, if I go south to Zitong County, I will definitely be surrounded by people wherever I go. Because when I went north to Guanghan County, I asked Liu Bang for his rights and wanted to control Guanghan County.
The rights of officials, big and small. After entering Guanghan County, all the officials in the important towns along the way were replaced by my direct descendants. So now that I am going south, I will definitely be invincible."
"Peng Qing is indeed a famous general."
Wang Can praised: "With Peng Qing's plan, I can successfully capture Guanghan County."
Peng Yue said: "Your Majesty is so complimentary."
Wang Can arranged some other chores before getting up to rest.
After Wang Can left, Peng Yue looked at Han Xin and said seriously: "Brother Han, what you said is true. Your Majesty is indeed a wise and courageous lord. I just surrendered, and your Majesty actually allowed me to lead troops into battle.
I am filled with emotions. If it were Liu Bang, it would never be possible."
Han Xin smiled and said: "Different kings naturally have different ways of doing things. The most important thing is that His Majesty is extremely powerful. You have never seen His Majesty take action. His Majesty's martial arts skills are already matched by few people."
Peng Yue was shocked and said: "Can your Majesty be so strong?"
"Beyond your imagination."
Han Xin smiled and said: "Your Majesty is not only superb in martial arts, but also extremely powerful in the use of troops. It is precisely because your Majesty has extremely strong strength and the ability to control his subordinates that he boldly employs people."
Peng Yue nodded and said: "In that case, I have chosen the right person to submit to Your Majesty."
Han Xin said: "You will not regret today's decision. Your Majesty, you must be the one who can unify the whole world."
“We’ll see!”
There was also a look of expectation in Peng Yue's eyes.
At this time, the confusion in Peng Yue's eyes disappeared, and his face became full of high fighting spirit. He originally felt that it was very boring, because he betrayed Liu Bang and surrendered to Wang Can, so he felt that there was not much meaning in killing.
Now, he wants to help Wang Can dominate the world.
The two chatted until very late before going to rest separately.
The next day, early morning.
Han Xin and Peng Yue each led their troops to leave Sanshui County to perform their missions. Wang Can, with Yingbu, Luo Cheng, Mu Guiying and others, stayed in Sanshui County to deal with matters in the rear.
…
Chengdu, in the imperial palace.
Liu Bang was dealing with government affairs, but on this day, his eyelids suddenly twitched and he felt uneasy in his heart.
The whole person was in a trance.
what happened?
Liu Bang put down the pen in his hand, raised his brows, and murmured: "Could something big happen?"
But now, there is no news coming back.
"Report!"
Suddenly, a burst of rapid footsteps came.
A chamberlain quickly entered and reported: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister wishes to see you."
"Xuan!"
Liu Bang gave an order.
The chamberlain went to deliver the order, and after a while, Xiao He entered with hurried steps. The look on his face was extremely solemn. After seeing Liu Bang, he bowed his hands and bowed, and said: "Xiao He, I would like to pay my respects to Your Majesty."
Liu Bang waved his hand and said: "Prime Minister, sit down!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Xiao He lifted up his robe and sat down.
Liu Bang had an uncontrollable sadness on his brows and asked in a deep voice: "I feel uneasy today and always feel that something is happening. Prime Minister, did something happen?"
"Your Majesty, Holy Ming!"
Xiao He bowed and said, "Something big has indeed happened."
Liu Bang asked: "What's the matter?"
Xiao He replied: "The first thing is that I just discovered today that Peng Yue's mansion is empty, leaving only some insignificant attendants and maids. The direct lineage of the Peng family, from Peng Yue's old father to Peng Yue's
My wife and children have all disappeared. We can’t even find out when these people disappeared.”
"Asshole!"
When Liu Bang heard this, he slapped his hand on the desk and became furious.
Peng Yue's family disappeared.
This means that the means to restrain Peng Yue are gone.
In fact, Peng Yue on the front line is very likely to betray.
At the moment, Liu Bang was no longer interested in finding out when the Peng family was lost, and asked directly: "The second thing you want to report is that Peng Yue rebelled?"
"yes!"
Xiao He looked bitter and answered in a low voice.
He never expected that Peng Yue's family would disappear out of thin air, and news of Peng Yue's rebellion would soon come back from the front. Judging from this situation, Peng Yue's rebellion was premeditated. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Peng family to leave.
After Chengdu, news of Peng Yue's rebellion came back.
When Liu Bang heard these two pieces of news, he was so angry that he stood up, kicked over the desk in front of him, and shouted: "Xiao He, it's all your fault, it's you who let Peng Yue go to war.
It's all right now, but Peng Yue rebels, what do you think we should do?"
The corner of Xiao He's mouth twitched, and he was helpless.
He also didn't expect that Peng Yue would rebel so quickly.
Xiao He said: "Your Majesty, I don't know the person, please forgive me."
Although it was Xiao He and Zhang Liang who urged Liu Bang to let Peng Yue go on the expedition. But now that Liu Bang was furious, Xiao He did not make any excuses and just agreed.
When Liu Bang saw Xiao He's confession, he immediately withered. He sat down, sighed, and said, "Prime Minister, I just made a mistake. Don't take it to heart."
Xiao He shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, you have betrayed me."
Liu Bang no longer struggled with the issue of apology and asked: "Prime Minister, Peng Yue rebelled, what do you think we should do?" (To be continued)
