Xiang Liang had not left Kuaiji for several months. He was not eating, drinking and having fun, but recruiting soldiers and horses. Now, when he heard that Hu Hai was sending troops on an expedition, he was very happy. He wanted to send troops himself, but he had never thought about it, but he waited for the Qin army to come.

Xiang Liang of Kuaiji County had sent troops to Xiapi. Long Jue, Ji Bu and others were sitting in the camp. Liu Bang was fortunate to be appreciated by Xiang Liang and sat on the left and right sides of Xiang Liang with Xiang Yu.

This was also Fan Zeng's plan. Liu Bang was valued only by two counties. Besides, when others heard this news, they would definitely come to invest. It was not only Qin's Council, but also Chu's State was not bad.

Emperor Chu Xiong Xin was just a decoration, just stay in Kuaiji. Xiang Liang was very happy in his tent and said excitedly: "Now that Chu was established, the fortune was prosperous, and Qi and Yan were not afraid of it. Only the tyrannical Qin, and today, the centipede insect died without being stiff. However, his new king was first established and he was in charge of the army, which shows that he was young and ignorant."

Everyone nodded. Fan Zeng was 60 years old and the most steady. He immediately stood up and said, "You should report to the Prime Minister, now you should take down Pengcheng, and think it is the foundation."

"The land of Pengcheng is located above Sishui, and there is Yishui behind it, and there are dozens of miles of Jushui in front of it. This is the place where the city is guarding. We must fight. We will go straight to Dingtao from Pengcheng, and then use Wei land to capture Ao Cang, but we do not know that Ao Cang is the granary of the Great Qin Dynasty. Qin lost the granary, which is like breaking Hangu."

When Xiang Liang heard this, he was overjoyed and immediately ordered someone to present the map and put it in the tent. After everyone saw it, they all felt that what Fan Zeng said was reasonable, but Liu Bang was a little hesitant.

However, before he could speak, Xiang Yu hurriedly asked, "Wang Han really knows how to use the road?"

Seeing this, Fan Zeng smiled knowingly, "Of course not, but if you capture Dingtao, you may have to borrow the way. Ru and Pei Gong can divide their troops to take down Sichuan County and determine the geographical advantage of Chu. In this way, Han, Wei and Zhao must borrow the way due to the majesty of Chu!"

"What should the Qin army in Lingbi?" Liu Bang asked immediately.

Xiang Liang immediately waved his hand, "Pei Gong, don't worry, you go to Sichuan County, I will personally take down Pengcheng, and then fight against the Qin army. When the Qin army retreats, we will attack Dingtao in three groups!"

"There is no need to worry about the only thing left by the Qin army."

The generals agreed, and Xiang Liang led 50,000 troops to Pengcheng, and Pei Gong and Xiang Ji each led 5,000 troops and his subordinates to take down Sichuan County.

The Qin army had a total of 150,000 troops, Meng Tian led 20,000 cavalry, 30,000 prisoners, Zhang Han dispatched 30,000 troops, Li You recruited 10,000 troops, Lantian Daying stationed 50,000 troops, and the remaining troops guarded all over the place to prevent chaos.

Let’s talk about Xiang Liang leading 50,000 troops, followed by Fan Zeng and Ji Bu. After passing Sishui, he rushed straight to Pengcheng. Pengcheng was originally in danger, with Qi and Chu above and Han and Wei below.

The garrison of Pengcheng was named Peng Zhong, and he often called himself Peng Yue. He was tall and burly, extremely fierce. He was thirty years old and very elegant. Although the land of Pengcheng belonged to the border of Sishui County, it was affiliated with the border of Chu during the Warring States Period.

However, Peng Yue was very happy, and was a native of Wei, so he occupied Pengcheng and claimed to be a general of Wei. He did not dare to usurp the throne. He only had 5,000 troops to defend Pengcheng.

Now I heard that the Chu general Xiang Liang came to attack, and it seemed to be in chaos. In the county government in the city, Peng Yue sat opposite his friend Luan Bu. Luan Bu was a popular person and was known as the ancient Miyuan.

The two sat together and drank for several drinks. Peng Yue finally couldn't help but feel anxious and said with some melancholy: "Now Chu stationed troops in Xia Pi, and he wanted to Pengcheng, what should he do?"

Luan Bu did not seem very surprised, but said calmly: "Why worry, general? Either defend or escape, or then escape after defending."

"Can't you surrender?" Peng Yue frowned slightly.

Luan Bu immediately put down his wine glass and sighed helplessly, "Why does the general mean this? You are the general and the lord of Pengcheng. If you surrender to the general of Chu, you will be laughed at by the world. If you are captured by the dead, your life will be unsuccessful. Moreover, the general of Chu will go south to Lingbi to fight Qin, and the general will be beheaded to strengthen the army's might."

Peng Yue said skeptically: "General Chu shouldn't behave like this, right?"

"Hmph! No? I think the general is a bit overly esteemed Xiang Liang. How did he raise an army? Did the general know at all? He killed his friend Yin Tong and plundered his property!"

"I'm rude, how much friendship is compared to Yin Tong? Will it save your life?" Luan Bu said with some disdain.

Peng Yue also suddenly realized, "It seems that Xiang Liang pretended to be a gentleman. Since this is the case, he would have to defend this city first, but only 50,000 Chu troops would naturally be unable to compete with them. Where should he defect to?"

Seeing this, Luan Bu said bluntly: "The general was originally from Wei, but he could defect to Wei. If Wei Ju cannot be competent for the throne, the general can replace him."

The mansion was extremely quiet for a moment. After a long time, Peng Yue said: "My brother's words are very consistent with my wishes."

In that month, the Chu general Xiang Liang led 50,000 troops across Yishui and set up camp five miles outside Pengcheng. He did not attack rashly, but planned to rest for three days before making plans.

Ji Buluo was considered a counselor. When he heard that Xiang Liang wanted to attack Pengcheng, he felt something was wrong, so he went to the front camp to visit Xiang Liang late at night. At this moment, Fan Zeng was also planning a strategy for him.

When Xiang Liang saw Ji Bu come in, he immediately prepared tea, "The general is not in the back camp, why did he come late at night?"

Ji Bu didn't know anything and asked straight to the point: "The general wants to attack hard? He will lose his troops and lose his generals."

Xiang Liang did not speak, but looked at Fan Zeng on the side, "Mr. Fan, what do Ji Bu say?"

"It's reasonable, but it's hard to do it. Peng Yue is a chivalrous style and will definitely not surrender. Otherwise, why would our army not see Pengcheng coming to envoy here for two days?" Fan Zeng said seriously.

Ji Bu frowned slightly, "What the old man said is inappropriate. Perhaps Peng Yue only pays attention to reputation and is unwilling to come. Now the Prime Minister sends people to lobby, which is not necessarily the case. Besides, it only takes one day and will be willing to go there."

The two of them made Xiang Liang hesitate in his heart, and he said casually: "And as Ji Bu said, if you don't surrender, you will directly attack the city!"

Fan Zeng nodded, thinking that it would be okay to let him surrender. After all, Pengcheng has a superior geographical location. If it is captured, it can be used as the capital of Chu. It will be captured without any soldiers, and it will also save post-war repairs and waste resources.

The next morning, it was a little dawn, and Ji Bu was wearing a Chu suit and took several messengers to Pengcheng. After all, it only took one day, so the reason was the best, but it would be fine if it didn't make sense.

When Peng Yue heard that the Chu envoy came, he did not dare to be negligent. Although it was a chaotic world, etiquette should be maintained. In the hall, Ji Bu was calm and slowly stepped forward. He immediately bowed and bowed and said, "The Chu envoy came to explain his interests to the general today. I hope the general listens quietly."

"Sir, please sit down, but it's okay. I am a common man. I would like to listen to the teacher and prepare tea and give it to you!" Peng Yue said with a good look and said loudly.
