The situation of the Qin Dynasty is reversed from later generations, northern Jiangsu is richer than southern Jiangsu, Pengcheng (Xuzhou, Jiangsu) is a crown with a large number of talents, Peixian is talented, but Jiangdong in the free shipping area is still sparsely populated, Huayi is mixed, and many places are still soaking in the sea.

But there are special cases, such as staying in the county.

Liuxian is a small place, located in the middle of Pei County and Pengcheng, famous for poverty, but now it has become a shelter for the rout, according to Chen Ping's order, Pei County's heroic Ren Ao, Xiahou Ying, Lu Shizhi and others planted flags here to collect the scattered Qi soldiers who came back from the direction of Pengcheng, but seeing their faces frightened, talking about the experience of the day, they still couldn't stop trembling.

"The Chu army takes the tiger and leopard as the forerunner, and it is overwhelming!"

Chen Ping scoffed at this statement, he knew that the Chu army was just following the Jin army in the Spring and Autumn Period in the Battle of Chengpu, painting the leather into tiger stripes and covering the horses, firstly as horse armor to resist arrows, and secondly, the black and yellow stripes that galloped and jumped were enough to frighten the rabble.

But even so, Chen Ping was still surprised by Xiang Ji's boldness and reaction speed, because at the beginning, in his plan, it was just to let Peng Yue and the southbound dragon go head-to-head, and they would lose both......

What even Chen Ping didn't calculate was that Xiang Ji, who was supposed to be struggling to resist the main force of the Qin army on the front line of Chen and Song, but after noticing Peng Yue's abnormal movement, he led his chariot and rode 5,000 to gallop eastward, and broke a partial division of the Qi army in Xiao County, and suddenly killed Peng Yue when Peng Yue was facing off against Long and Surabaya across the river, and used the dawn to attack the flank of Peng Yue's army from west to east, and broke it.

Peng Yuejun's discipline was already lax, and when he didn't fight, he just stood in a crooked queue, and he was hasty and unprepared for the sudden attack of Xiang Jijun, and after a little resistance, he made a mess. The Long and the army also took the opportunity to cross Surabaya, Peng Yue's army wanted to enter Pengcheng, but was counterattacked by the Pengcheng Chu people, and could only rush to the valley water in the north, which was squeezed by the Chu army's pincer attack, with many dead and wounded, and tens of thousands of people died in the river, and the valley water did not flow......

Even if it was more than 10,000 people who followed Peng Yue to cross the valley by luck, it was difficult to rearrange the formation, and when they saw Xiang Ji's battle flag appear behind them, they turned around and ran, and the entire army collapsed in an instant. To the north of Pengcheng, there was a flat river, and the foot soldiers with short legs could only become the target of the Chu army's chariots to kill or trample, and there were many casualties.

A few days had passed since the Battle of Pengcheng, and when Peng Yue returned to Liuxian in embarrassment with thousands of remnants, Chen Ping actually came to greet him with relatives:

"I never expected that the thief would abandon the front line and return to Pengcheng to help, but he failed to find out in time and issued a warning to General Peng, and he was too peaceful!"

"It's not that you are treacherous, knowing that the Chu army returned to Pengcheng and did not report it!"

Peng Yue's subordinate generals were furious when they saw Chen Ping, and they were about to attack, but Peng Yue stopped them.

"Hu, victory or defeat is a common thing, this battle is my own loss to the Xiang family's sons, the war is also a crime, don't be angry with Chen Jun!"

Peng Yue, who was slumped in the car, raised his head, and Chen Ping realized that he was blind in one eye and covered with a black soap cloth.

Although he was blind, Peng Yue now saw it more clearly: what Chen Ping said was untrue, using himself to attack Chu Pengcheng, and watching the Chu people fight with him, so as to weaken his own strength, but hated himself for falling into his trap.

But now, he has completely become hostile to Chu, and he has been beaten to the point that he has almost been wiped out, where do he dare to turn against Chen Ping and Heifu?

At this time, Hu Yu also realized that Chen Ping was surrounded by heavily armed heroes, looking at them with fierce eyes......

It's only been half a month, but Chen Ping's side has already gathered a lot of Peidi heroes who have returned to Heifu, in addition to Ren Ao and Xiahou Ying, there are also Lu Ze and Fan Xu, who were sent to a single father by Heifu after being rescued, as a great hero, returned to Fengyi's Yongya, and brought his clansmen to take refuge in Xue County's hero Xue Ou.

From April to June, Chen Ping and Zhou Ke have played a "fox fake tiger might" in Sishang, relying on their own name of Qin Jiuqing, as well as the main force of Heifu who is constantly advancing eastward, silently, gathering four or five thousand troops, and staying in the county to wait for a long time, just talking about hard power, is no less than Peng Yue's remnants of the army.

If the two sides are merged, it is really impossible to say who will lose and who will win.

Peng Yue can only suffer a dumb loss, and his top priority now is to return to the base camp immediately and lick his wounds.

Blood oozed from the injured eye again, and Peng Yue arched his hand at Chen Ping and said: "I have suffered heavy losses, and I want to return to Qilu and re-recruit soldiers, in order to help the regent destroy Chu again." ”

"That's how it should be." Chen Ping smiled and agreed to Peng Yue's plan to withdraw his troops.

"But before that, General Peng has one more thing to do."

"I know what Chen Jun wants me to do." Peng Yue went through a big defeat and was blind to a trick, but he completely became a person who understood, and he grinned:

"When I go back this time, I will immediately kill the pseudo-Qi king Tian Guang, arrest all the Confucian scholars who instigated Qilu to oppose Qin, and clean up the land of Qilu for Wang Shi!"

……

Chen Ping asked Lu Ze, Yongya and others to let Peng Yuejun pass through Liuxian County, and let him march to Xue County in the north and return to Ludi.

Zhou Ke, the lieutenant of Surabaya County, was a little uneasy about Peng Yue's northward journey, and said to Chen Ping secretly: "Chen Jun, just let Peng Yue leave?" His generation was frightened in Pengcheng and suffered heavy losses, if we can let the abundant heroes help us to capture them, wouldn't it be equivalent to the death of the Qi country? ”

Chen Ping asked Zhou Ke rhetorically: "Is the wild bee with the queen bee harmful, or is the wild bee after the queen bee dies?" ”

This question was inexplicable, Zhou Ke couldn't answer it, and Chen Ping explained:

"When I was young and poor, I went into the forest to get firewood, and I saw people getting honey. But where there is a queen bee constraints, even wild bees, there is still a little order, but once the queen bee dies, the bee colony loses control, it will form a swarm, build nests everywhere, and often sting people and animals. ”

"Therefore, the rabble, without its head, is better to have ......"

"The so-called Qi country, is just a group of Qilu heroes occupy the county, Peng Yue is its leader, as long as Peng Yue is in one day, the regent can control them through Peng Yue, if there is no Peng Yue, they are restless and fight with each other, I am afraid that it will become a local disaster, even if officials are sent as in the past, they can gather the Wuthering Mountains and forests, and they cannot be cleared in ten years."

Therefore, Chen Ping felt that in the current situation, it would be more beneficial to keep Peng Yue and kill him.

"After the first battle of Pengcheng, Peng Yue was no longer qualified, and he bargained with Xia Gong, and my plan was successful. However, Peng Yue's losses were too heavy, and the remnants were discouraged, and when facing the Chu State, he had lost his usefulness, but it would drag us down, so it was better to let him go. ”

Chen Ping glanced at the abundant heroes who were gathered together: "Next, it is up to them, you and I take Fengpei as the base, entrenched in the upper reaches of Surabaya, and constantly make the heroes go south, rob Chu grain, capture Ding Zhuang, and harass the rear of the Xiang family, so that the Chu army misses their homes and is difficult to do their best." ”

Zhou Ke believes that the combat power of the Chu army should not be underestimated: "In the past two years, the Chu army has also experienced dozens of battles, large and small, and Xiang Ji can easily defeat Peng Yue, and the real Qin is also a strong enemy." Although Pengcheng was almost destroyed, and there was no way to provide a steady stream of food and soldiers for the Chu army, the Xiang clan won a complete victory and its morale was revived.......

Chen Ping was very relieved, although he didn't expect Xiang Ji to be able to run so well, but next, even if Xiang Ji was really a once-in-a-century genius in the military situation, there was not much room for maneuver.

"Xiang Ji doesn't have time to take care of us, he left the Chen and Song fronts a little this time, this is a chance for the regent."

"Even if Xiang Liang can withstand it for a while, the show has just begun, and Xiang Ji will find that looking at the four directions, he is already suffering from the enemy!"

Chen Pingdao:

"This regent attacked Jiangdong as early as two years ago, and since the preservation of Jiaodong, he began to plan an ambush on all sides, no matter how Xiang Ji resists, he will definitely be defeated!"

……

As Chen Ping said, although Pengcheng fought a battle, relying on Ya's father's prediction: "Peng Yue's descent will be unfavorable to Chu", and resolutely led the elite soldiers back to the division, killing Peng Yue and abandoning his armor, but at this moment, there is no joy to lose and regain.

The valley water was full of the corpses of the war dead, it was a scorching heat, and soon it was rotten and foul, and polluted Surabaya, the "mother river" that would nourish the Chu people who moved east for many years, is now no longer able to take water for drinking, and Pengcheng, which was once rich and stable, is also dilapidated.

Standing at the head of Pengcheng City, Xiang Ji could still smell the stench of corpses emanating from the water, a bloated floating corpse floating down the current, floating over the docks, floating over the reeds, and about to go farther away, but crashed into several boats swimming up.

The brisk ship, protecting a middle wing, the Viet Nu neatly aligned, desperately rowing, riding the wind and waves, coming downstream from Surabaya, a flag slowly raised on the mast of the middle wing.

The flag is black, and there is a word on it: "Captain"!

They also shouted on the boat: "On the orders of the regent Xia Gong of Great Qin and General Wu Junwei, we have taken all the counties of the East China Sea and are here to surrender Pengcheng!" ”

In the face of the warships that were showing off their might on Surabaya, the response of the Chu people was a rain of arrows, and occasionally a few arrows hit the boats, and the Yue Nu in the bottom warehouse stopped oars, and the ships stopped moving forward and slowly left in accordance with the current.

Although they repelled the other party, the Chu people were not happy at all.

The battleship of the Jiangdong Boat Division, which was only repelled by Xiang Ji last year, actually reappeared, and it had even reached Pengcheng hundreds of miles away from Jiangdong against the current, which brought the Chu people a shock, no less than Peng Yue's betrayal of the alliance.

What does this mean?

The Chu soldiers were silent, anxiety and fear enveloped their hearts, and even if they were as fearless as Xiang, this man who would never easily admit defeat couldn't help but murmur in a low voice:

"Qin, have you done your best?"
