It was a coincidence that under the instigation of Master Xiang Bo, Xiang Yu had just decided to attack Xiang Kang and the wife and children of important generals of the Han army. At noon the next day, the rear of Western Chu once again sent an urgent report, saying that the Peng Yue army, under the banner of the Han army, took the second time to transport food and grass from the Western Chu army, Zouxian, and burned down a batch of food and grass supplies from the Western Chu army. The work of transporting food and grass from the Western Chu army in the front was once again greatly affected.

Then, needless to say, Xiang Yu, who had a famous temper, roared again...

"What is Gan Ji, the county magistrate of Donghai? I assigned all the troops of Xue County to him to command. He has not wiped out Peng Yue's mobs until now, so why did he let the Peng Yue thief army capture the important town of Zou County? Give Gan Ji the order and restrict him from destroying the Peng Yue thief army within twenty days after seeing the order! If you cannot do it, you will dismiss the official position on the spot and be imprisoned and punished!"

Seeing Xiang Yu getting really angry again, Cao Ju, the number one assistant in military affairs, dared not be negligent, quickly agreed and immediately arranged for someone to write Xiang Yu's order. Old Man Fan on the other side said a fair word to Gan Ji, saying: "King, you can't blame the incompetence of Gan Ji. Judging from the war report, the Gan County Magistrate was unable to wipe out the Peng Yue bandit army for a long time. The Peng Yue bandit army was too cunning and had been evading the real and attacking the virtual. The Gan County Magistrate could not catch up with them and could not get the chance to fight. Of course, there was no way to quickly wipe out the bandits Peng Yue."

"Isn't it just a blame for being useless?" Xiang Yu snorted coldly and said, "I can't help but run away from the Peng Yue bandits' army. Can I still reward him?"

"Don't calm down." Old Man Fan advised again, and then suggested: "King, the road near Juyeze is the lifeline of our army, and it has a great relationship. The left and right Zhonggong General has returned to Baima and used 40,000 troops to guard the Han thieves and bandits to prevent the Han thieves from moving south. It is too wasteful. It is better to let General Zhonggong distribute half of his troops to continue to advance eastward and go to the southern part of Juyeze to help the Gan County Magistrate to wipe out the Peng Yue bandit army. This can not only protect our food routes, but also increase the confidence to quickly wipe out the Peng Yue bandit army. You can kill two birds with one stone. Please let the king go."

After thinking about it, it was not realistic to expect the Zhonggong army to counterattack the battlefield in the Henei under the current circumstances. There is a natural barrier of the Yellow River to defend. It would be too wasteful for Zhonggong's 40,000 troops to station Baimadu for a long time. It is indeed better to draw Zhonggong's army back to the hinterland to suppress the rebellion. Xiang Yu nodded and said, "Well, then let Zhonggong's deputy Zeng Wen lead 20,000 troops to advance eastward and help Ganji wipe out Peng Yue's bandit army."

After saying that, Xiang Yu added another sentence and ordered: "Let Zeng Wen and Gan Ji be uncontrollable, and tell them clearly that whoever can take the head of Peng Yue's traitor will be the main contribution! Whoever dares to miss the military opportunity and delay the war will definitely be killed!"

Xiang Yu arranged this way to inspire his subordinates to fight bravely, but what Xiang Yu never dreamed of was that on the same day his order was sent to the Baima, Gan Ji, the governor of Donghai County of the Western Chu Army, who was entrusted by him with the important task of pursuing Peng Yue's army, unfortunately died in Fengyi battlefield in Sishui County and died traitor Yong Chi.

But it was a coincidence. What Xiang Yu, Old Man Fan and others never dreamed of was that at this moment, there were already calls for a withdrawal from the Juyeze battlefield within the Peng Yue army. If Peng Yue army really did this, then it goes without saying that the Western Chu army that was moving east from the white horse might happen to encounter the Peng Yue army that retreated north to the Juyeze base...

Peng Yue's army also needed to withdraw from Juyeze. In just one month, Peng Yue's army moved to Sishui, Xue County and Donghai County and marched for more than a thousand miles, fighting more than a dozen battles from all over the world. The army was already very tired from top to bottom and urgently needed to find a safer place to rest and restore its vitality. At the same time, Feng Zhong, the general of the Western Chu army, led 10,000 elite Western Chu soldiers to pursue them from behind. It is undoubtedly very dangerous to continue fighting guerrillas in Sishui County, which has no reliable foothold. Therefore, whether it is the soldiers of Peng Yue's army or the representative of the Han army stationed by Xiang Kang in the Peng Yue army, after evacuating the Fengyi battlefield, they all suggested that Peng Yue retreat to Juyeze and rest and try to stay away from the overly dangerous capital of Pengcheng, the capital of the Western Chu State.

Only Peng Yue himself was reserved about this. On the way to evacuate Fengyi, everyone suggested that he retreat to Shanfu and go north to Juyeze. Peng Yue did not immediately make a decision. He also said to Hu Jue, Yue Liu and others: "We cannot hurry to go north directly. It has been a month since we left the Juyeze battlefield. We have changed or adjusted the Western Chu thieves on the Juyeze battlefield. We are not sure whether the Western Chu thieves Army on the Juyeze battlefield has changed or not. If we are not lucky, the Western Chu thieves Army is stationed on our north road, wouldn't we suffer a big loss?"

"And." Peng Yue nodded to the back road again and said, "We don't know what Feng Zhongpifu's attitude is. He only intends to drive us away and make us unable to threaten their capital? Or is he planning to pursue us relentlessly and must kill us? If he really intends to pursue us relentlessly, even if we retreat to Juyeze, it may be difficult for us to rest. On the contrary, he may be caught up with him and forced to fight the elite Western Chu thieves led by him."

After a long period of mobile combat, Hu Ju, Yue Lao and others were of course impressed by Peng Yue's tactical decision. After listening to Peng Yue's analysis, they did not refute, but just asked quickly: "What should we do?"

"Retreat to Shanfu first." Peng Yue replied: "Then go northeast to Fangyu, which is far away from Chidao. The Western Chu bandit Army will definitely not be able to garrison the army there. Then we take advantage of the many advantages of the roads in that area, and while we are circling with Feng Zhongpinfu, we will find out his pursuit attitude, and send people to Chidao to inquire about the situation, grasp the latest changes in the enemy situation, and finally decide whether to withdraw from Juyeze."

Hu Zhe quickly agreed and said, "Brother's method is safe, but in this way, our soldiers will work hard enough."

"Thank you harder than life." Peng Yue replied: "Let's go quickly, don't waste time, try to distance yourself from Feng Zhongpifu first."

Everyone agreed and was ordering to urge the soldiers to move forward faster. Unexpectedly, two scouts came after him and took a man dressed in an ordinary citizen to Peng Yue, reporting to the report: "Report to General Peng, this man rode a fast horse to catch up with our back team. After being stopped by the young man, he claimed that he was an official in Feng Zhong's army, and also Feng Zhongpi's coachman. Because he was going to be beheaded after he violated the military law, he fled from Feng Zhong's army to join us. The person has been escorted, so he asked the general to leave."

"Feng Zhongpi's coachman is here to join us?"

Peng Yue was surprised and quickly saw the man in front of him, but he saw that he had a bad head and a rat-eyed face, and he looked like a treacherous person. He asked curiously: "Are you the coachman of Feng Zhong, the thief of the Western Chu? What's your name?"

"Report to General Peng, the villain is indeed the coachman of Feng Zhong, the thief general of Western Chu, and his name is Weishan."

Feng Zhong's coachman Wei Shan quickly answered, and hurriedly took out his identity card to prove that he was an officer and doctor of the Western Chu who had the sixth-level title, and a central army directly affiliated with Feng Zhong. He also quickly explained: "General, this is the case. When we were sleeping on the road overnight last night, the villain just complained that there was no tent to rest, saying that he was not good enough to be physically jealous, and that Feng Zhong's husband said that the villain was complaining about the main general and committed the crime of beheading the head. The villain was afraid that he would really take the slaughter, so he stole a horse and quietly escaped from his team to join you. Please, General, you must believe in the villain, and the villain would never dare to lie to you."

"Really or not?"

Peng Yue and others all looked suspicious, all of whom suspected that Weishan might be a detailed work sent by Feng Zhong to pretend to surrender. Weishan quickly reached out and took out a map with mountains, rivers, and written words. He held it in front of Peng Yue with both hands and said respectfully: "General Peng, the villain has also brought you a meeting gift. This is a marching map stolen by the villain from Feng Zhong. It marked the detailed garrisoning situation of the Western Chu thieves in the Huai Si area, as well as the grain storage situation in the warehouse. Please accept it with a smile."

He was surprised and quickly took the map presented with Wei Shan's hands and opened it. He saw that the map indeed marked the geographical distance of the Western Chu army's hinterland, the distance, the distance, the narrow distance, the dangerous level, the number of troops, the treasury and the money and grain of the government, and he knew it was a marching map for Feng Zhong's troops to fight. Peng Yue couldn't help but feel a little happy and said to himself: "Do I really have such luck?"

Although he was happy, he was happy, but out of caution, Peng Yue carefully asked about the detailed process of Wei Shan's rebellion against Chu and the specific situation within Feng Zhongjun. Wei Shan answered all the questions. He first carefully explained the detailed process of his violation of military law and escaping from the Western Chu army, and reported Feng Zhongjun's specific military situation to Peng Yue. Not only did he not have any reservations, he also took the initiative to introduce Feng Zhongjun's military situation that Peng Yue did not ask about, completely selling Feng Zhongjun's internal situation.

After repeated interrogations, Peng Yue was inevitably even more happy. He also thought that he had really gone through great fortune. When Feng Zhongjun met an important traitor like Weishan, he hurriedly asked the most critical question, saying: "Weishan, do you know that Feng Zhong sent troops to pursue us this time, and was planning to chase our army to the end and must chase our army to the decisive battle? Or just plan to drive out Sishui County and not pose a threat to Pengcheng, the capital of the Western Chu bandit Army?"

"Report to the general, Feng Zhongpifu plans to chase you to the end this time." Wei Shan immediately replied: "When the villain was beside Feng Zhongpifu, he heard him say in person that although his troops were not the personal order of Xiang Yu, the thief king of Western Chu, he sent him to send troops to Xiang Yu's cousin Xiang Sheng and Xiang It clearly explained that even if he chased him to the ends of the world, he must chase your army and wipe out it. He must not leave any future troubles and threaten the safety of the hinterland of the Western Chu thief army."

Peng Yue's face changed slightly, and he asked casually: "Is Feng Zhongliu confident that he is?"

"Report to the general, yes." Wei Shan immediately replied: "Feng Zhong's common man ate and slept with his soldiers, and liked to win people's hearts. He was loved by the soldiers. His soldiers of the thief army said that in order to repay him, he would catch up with you no matter what, and give Feng Zhong's common man a chance to make meritorious and promote him."

Peng Yue was silent and said to Wei Shan for a while: "Okay, since you are sincere and have brought me such a generous gift to me, then you can stay. Be a garrison commander in my central army first, and prepare to report to me the military situation of Feng Zhong's thief army at any time. When you make contributions in the future, I will reward you with promotion."

When Wei Shan heard this, he was overjoyed and thanked Peng Yue repeatedly. He followed Peng Yue's personal soldiers down and joined the team. Peng Yue, who was not completely relieved enough, sent someone to secretly stare at him and naturally refused to mention it.

After such a small storm, Peng Yue continued to lead the troops and arrived at Liu Laosan's father-in-law, Shanfu Queen. Because Feng Zhongjun was chasing him closely behind, Peng Yue's army did not dare to waste time to attack the city, and went around the city directly, according to the original plan, diverting to the northeast, and heading straight to the side where the Western Chu army could not have been stationed. Then, as Wei Shan said, Feng Zhongjun did not hesitate to continue chasing and reluctance, without any sign of stopping the troops and retreating because Peng Yue's army had already flew out of Sishui County.

The facts proved that the Feng Zhongchariot driver Wei Shan who suddenly came to vote was indeed doubtful. On the way to Fangyu, when he was sleeping in the open at night, the guard leader Liang Qu suddenly reported to Peng Yue: "General, come to Wei Shan, the Feng Zhongchariot driver who came to join us the day before yesterday. It seems that there is a big problem. Please be careful."

"What did he do?" Peng Yue asked vigilantly.

"He has been in our army these days to find out if we are the King of Han's army." Liang Qu replied truthfully: "He seemed to have noticed the Yue Lao Yue pedestrian sent by the King of Han, who was sharpening his head and asking about his situation."

"Inquiry if we are the King of Han's army? I also noticed Yue Xingren?" Peng Yue was a little surprised and said to himself: "What does this man want to do? If he is really a spy sent by Feng Zhongpin to surrender, he should be more concerned about our marching route. How could he be interested in whether we are the King of Han's army?"

After thinking for a while, he couldn't guess what was sold in Weishan's gourd. Peng Yue could only give this order: "Continue to keep keeping a close eye on him. If there is anything abnormal, you can take action first and then report."

A day later, Peng Yue's army rushed to Fangyu's city. Because Feng Zhongjun was still chasing him closely, Peng Yue could only send a memorial to the north to inquire about the changes in the military situation of the Western Chu army, while leading the army to continue to walk around the city and wandered into Huling for the second time. However, unfortunately, Feng Zhongjun showed the tenacity that Peng Yue was most worried about. He was still not exhausted because of the continuous marching. He still followed Peng Yue's army far away, and did not give Peng Yue's army any chance to get rid of the pursuers.

At this time, Peng Yue's army was of course even more exhausted and was more anxious to find a reliable place to rest. With no choice, Peng Yue could only hurriedly summon Yue Lao and his few of his confidants to discuss the next countermeasures with them. As a result, because the Western Chu army stationed south of Juyeze and others protected the food route, although Hu Jue, Yue Lao and others did not advocate the risk of returning to Juyeze, they also suggested that Peng Yue continue to walk north and flee into Xue County, where the troops of the Western Chu army had been completely hollowed out.

"Brother, if you don't have it, go to Zou County for the third time, and then continue to go north." Hu Zou County persuaded: "We have been leveled in advance by us. We can take it down directly without much time. If we are lucky, we still hope to grab a grain transport team from the Western Chu thieves Army to replenish our food supplies. If Feng Zhongpifu still chases us and refuses to let go, we will continue to go north. Anyway, the Western Chu thieves Army in Xue County is empty, and no army can stop us. We have hope to get away from Feng Zhongpifu and find an opportunity to withdraw Juyeze to rest."

Everyone agreed, thinking that they should go north quickly and further away from the overly dangerous Pengcheng. Although Peng Yue knew very well that this would affect the strategic plan of his own army to cause trouble to the main force of the Western Chu army, saving the army is undoubtedly the most important thing at the moment. So after gritting his teeth, Peng Yue nodded and said, "Then do it like this, take an hour to rest and continue walking north."

Everyone agreed and went down to organize the army to continue to set off. Yue Lao also said goodbye to leave Peng Yue and returned to his entourage to rest for a while, preparing to follow Peng Yue's army to continue north. However, on the way, a low-level officer of Peng Yue's army stopped Yue Lao and asked with a smile on his face: "Yue Xingren, I heard that you were the person sent directly by His Highness the King of Han? Is it true?"

He looked suspiciously at the low-level Peng Yuejun officer who looked crooked. Yue Lao first felt that he seemed familiar, and then immediately remembered his identity and asked, "If I remember correctly, you seem to have come to join us by Feng Zhongchai a few days ago?"

"Shangguan is very good at memory. The villain is indeed Wei Shan, the coachman of Feng Zhongpinfu before." Wei Shan replied with a smile and asked again: "Yue Xingren, the villain dared to ask again, are you really the person sent by His Highness the King of Han himself?"

"What are you asking about this?" Yue Lao asked vigilantly.

"It's nothing, I just feel curious." Wei Shan smiled even more complimentedly and said, "Yue Xingren, can you tell me that you are really the one sent by the King of Han himself?"

"Why is this guy so concerned about this?" Yue Lao became more confused, but there was no need to keep it confidential, so he answered casually: "Yes, what? What's the problem?"

"That Yue Xingren, you must have seen His Highness the King of Han?" Wei Shan asked quickly. After seeing Yue Liu nodding, Wei Shan hurriedly asked again: "Yue Xingren, what does His Highness the King of Han look like? Is it the same as the rumors, born with extraordinary martial spirit, a magnificent physique, a black beard on his face, and his arms are as thick as ordinary people's thighs?"

"The arms are as thick as ordinary people's thighs?"

Yue Lao almost laughed out loud, and was about to ask Wei Shan why he was concerned about this issue, but he never thought that several Peng Yue's personal soldiers suddenly jumped out next to him and shouted: "Wei Shan, what do you want to stop Yue Xingren?"

As he asked, the personal soldiers rushed to Yue Lao's side to protect him. Looking at Wei Shan vigilantly, Wei Shan was obviously startled and nodded and said, "Don't misunderstand, brothers, I'll just ask Yue Xingren for a few questions, and there is no other intention."

Peng Yue's personal soldiers who were staring at Weishan secretly refused to believe it. They immediately asked Yue Liu if this was the case. After Yue Liu nodded and admitted, Peng Yue's personal soldiers shouted: "Weishan, don't forget that you have just come from the Western Chu thief Army. Pay attention to your identity and don't bother Yue Xingren."

Wei Shan hurriedly agreed and quickly took a few steps back. He didn't know that Wei Shan had been paying attention to his Yue Lao for a long time, so he didn't bother to pay attention to him. He just said to Peng Yue's personal soldiers: "It's okay, he is not asking about our military information, let him go back and rest. We will continue to set out north later."

"Continue to set out north?" Wei Shan was shocked, and quickly looked up and blurted out, "Yuezengren, are we going north?"

"What the hell are you trying to do?" Even Yue Lao became suspicious.

Wei Shan's eyes turned and suddenly said, "I wonder if Yue Xingren, Xu Ji, the chief guard of His Highness the King of Han, has a mole on his upper lip?"

Yue Lao was stunned and asked back, "Do you know the chief guard of His Highness the King of Han?"

"May I ask Yue Xingren, does Xu Ji's mole grow on the left or right of his upper lip?" Wei Shan asked again.

Yue Lao knew something was different, so he recalled it for a while before saying, "On the left."

Wei Shan showed relief and said, "Yue Xingren, now you can tell the villain what His Highness the King of Han looks like? This is very important. Please be sure to answer truthfully."

After looking up and down in surprise, Yue Lao answered truthfully: "Medium-sized, thin, handsome, skinny, whiter than ordinary women, and even if it is not tanned. In addition, there is a not very obvious scar on the right cheek of our King of Han. I heard that it was left by him when he killed the bandits before."

Wei Shan smiled, laughing very easily, as if he had put down a thousand-pound huge rock. When Yue Lao saw it, he asked again: "What? Do you know our King of Han and our King of Han's guard Xu Ji?"

"It's not just a matter of knowing?" Wei Shan suddenly brought pride in his voice and said, "When I met His Highness the King of Han, Xu Ji was just a farmer who was farming in Shiling Pavilion. When I tied my head to the playboy and brought him to death, Xu Ji was just a primary apprentice in the blacksmith shop in Shiling Pavilion! Even now, when Xu Ji saw me, he had to call me Brother Wei!"
