Chapter 29 Peng Yue lost to the retreating Wei land

Ji Bu had already thought of the words when he came. When he saw Peng Yue so politely, he was no longer so embarrassed. He directly said straight to the point: "The general has lived in Pengcheng for a long time, can he know the situation in the world?"

Unexpectedly, before Peng Yue answered, Luan Bu next to him sneered, "How can I not know, the situation in the world is just a fight between Qin and Chu."

Ji Bu next to him looked at Luan Bu in surprise when he heard this, "Dare you ask General, who is this?"

"Don't be surprised by the messenger. This is a close friend Luan Bu. He has such a common personality. Please forgive me for your crime." Peng Yue stood up and saluted.

Ji Bu smiled and took a sip of warm tea, "No wonder, no wonder, what the gentleman said is also a fact, but he only knows one but not the other."

"My prime minister is a nobleman of Chu, with many good generals under his tent. He also assisted the King of Chu to be emperor. All the places in Jiangdong have been pacified. Qi and Yan are located northwards and are difficult to match the Central Plains. It is difficult to become a great place in the size of Han, Zhao and Wei."

"Now that Qin is extremely violent and abuses people's power, the voices of opposing Qin within the world are overwhelmed. Don't the general know? Moreover, the King of Chu proclaimed himself emperor and the kings came to celebrate, which is really due to the strength of Emperor Chu."

"Now you are between Qin and Chu. If you don't join forces with Chu, will Qin let the general be released? I hope you think twice, and you will give up the small and seek the big."

After hearing this, Luan Bu was very disdainful and immediately retorted: "What is to give up the small and seek the big? Is it to give up the city and save his life, to give up the small and seek the big?"

The atmosphere in the hall was much awkward. Ji Bu said in a hurry: "Sir, don't be angry. Life is more important than the city. Besides, Chu is a thousand miles away. The virtuous and virtuous minister of Chu came to greet him, treating him with courtesy. Liu Bang and Pei County have occupied two cities. Now they come to surrender, and the Prime Minister does not bother with him. He is in charge of the tent and promised him with a high position. If the general gives birth to the city, I can guarantee that the general will be appointed as a king, prince, general, and honor."

Peng Yue was a little moved by these words, but Luan Bu sneered at him, "Sir, can you protect my generals, princes, princes, generals, and ministers? I'm afraid it's a slander!"

"I dare to ask what rank you are in Chu, and you dare to make such a heavy promise? Moreover, Pengcheng is occupied by Chu, where will we go? Please do not believe it. It is all clever words and despicable."

Ji Bu sat opposite Luan Bu, and after hearing his rebuttals over and over again, he felt very unhappy. Even ordinary people would get angry, but Ji Bu would hold it for the time being. After all, you should not be arrogant in other people's chassis.

After pondering for a long time, Ji Bu was no longer paying attention to Luan Bu, but instead asked Peng Yue directly, "I am not talking too much. I just want to ask the general whether the few troops in the city can match the 50,000 troops outside the city!"

"This, I'm afraid I'm not going to defeat?"

"Why are you still so stubborn? It will be too late to regret it when the city is destroyed and the people are destroyed!" Ji Bu said in a deep voice.

Luan Bu did not look at Ji Bu in front of him and said casually: "My general does not want to be Yin Tong in the past."

Such words really angered Ji Bu. He immediately stood up and shook his sleeves and left, "The general wants to do it himself. The troops will come to the city tomorrow, and it will be too late to surrender again!"

Seeing Ji Bu leaving angrily, Peng Yue's face was a little unpredictable, "Brother, it seems that this is not good, it's a bit rude."

Luan Bu's expression was a little formal at this moment, and he said seriously: "This man is smart and has no major official position. He promises to benefit kings, princes, generals and ministers. It can be seen that he only comes for the city and does not think about the matter behind the general."

Peng Yue nodded slightly, "Wang Cheng, as my virtuous brother said, if you can't fight, go to Daliang."

In the Chu camp, Ji Bu returned angrily. Xiang Liang and Fan Zeng seemed to have expected this result. They comforted him for a few words and then ordered their troops to attack Pengcheng.

Tens of thousands of troops were approaching, so Peng Yue was not panicked and had to stagger to the city gate tower to fight. Luan Bu was standing beside him, calm and composed. If this city was not Luan Bu, it would have fallen into the hands of the Chu army.

Xiang Liang was in front of the city, and Xiang Zhuang and Ji Bu were on the left and right. Ji Bu looked at the two above and gritted his teeth, "Reported to the Prime Minister, Peng Yue wanted to surrender, all of which were Luan Bu's rhetoric behind him, causing Peng Yue to defend Pengcheng to the death!"

After hearing this, Xiang Liang seemed very calm and signaled not to get angry. Then he shouted loudly to the city: "Peng Yue, do you want to surrender?"

Peng Yue was trembling, and his generous and carefreeness from the past was gone forever. He didn't know how to answer. Instead, Luan Bu walked up and replied: "I didn't surrender yesterday, and the same is true today!"

"It seems that this person is quite a bit strange." Xiang Liang said respectfully, then ordered to retreat, the archer stepped forward, and there was a gravel bag hanging on the arrow.

Seeing this, Peng Yue hurriedly stepped back. Luan Bu calmly ordered the soldiers to come forward to resist and shoot arrows at the city, without any fear of the Chu army.

Both sides came and went, sand and stones flying, soil spreading all over the sky, and thousands of soldiers were killed and injured. Xiang Liang still could not capture the lonely city. Seeing that it was noon, he could only order people to use citron wood to hit the door.

Luan Bu had long expected this method, and the east gate was obviously blocked. Even if no one was guarding it, it would be difficult for the Chu army to capture it. Many strategies were useless, so Xiang Liang had to order the withdrawal of his troops.

Fan Zeng was not surprised to see Xiang Liang return without success, but instead felt that this was inevitable. After all, when he first attacked the city, both sides were full of strength and it was difficult to decide the outcome.

Xiang Liang sat upright in the tent with an unhappy expression. Seeing this, Fan Zeng whispered and authoritatively: "Pingcheng should not be worried, General, Pengcheng will be broken tomorrow."

"Why did you say this sir?"

"To defend the city, Pengcheng wasted a lot of arrows and troops, which caused the soldiers in the city to be frightened and no longer had the intention to stand. In this way, the city would be destroyed!"

Seeing that Fan Zeng’s statement was reasonable and well-founded, Xiang Liang also felt much relieved in his heart, "Send the order to rest and rectify the army, and attack the city from three sides tomorrow and capture Peng Yue’s traitor alive!"

When all the generals received the order, they did not dare to delay, and they all stood up and returned to the camp. In Pengcheng, Luan Bu and Peng Yue were tired. To be precise, they did not dare to sleep. They always felt that the Chu army would attack Pengcheng at night.

In the hall, Luan Bu was also a little embarrassed. Even though he had Mi Yuan's personality and wisdom, he was still weak at this moment. Peng Yue became more bored when he saw him silent.

"My brother, why should I plan to get out of ammunition and food at this moment?" Peng Yue sighed.

"I have a plan to avoid disasters, and I would like to ask the general to follow." Luan Bu said slowly.

Peng Yue had no other choice at this moment. When he heard that Luan Bu had a plan, he nodded and signaled him to speak quickly.

Luan Bu tidied up his clothes and said seriously: "Now there is no match for the Chu army. Five thousand soldiers cannot defeat 50,000 soldiers, and this city cannot be defended."

"It would be better to destroy Pengcheng, plunder the property, and rush to Daliang. It is also a gift for Wei Ju to stay in Daliang to observe the funeral. Such a plan of both sides was in trouble, and I was afraid that the general would not want to do so."

"Don't say that, just do it like this! Just don't hurt the people, just destroy the palaces and palaces, bring wealth and property, and do not know what to do?" Peng Yue said confidently.

Seeing Peng Yue agreeing, Luan Bu hurriedly said: "It's not too late to do this matter! It's now!"
