By mid-June, Pengcheng had been overrun by outsiders, and it was filled with loud toasts and clashing glasses, mixed with the neighing of horses, barking dogs, and the cries of women. The Surabaya River, on the other hand, flows outside the city, and in July and August the water is so high that it seems like a wild beast roaring.

Hu walked in a hurry, walked through this noisy everything, and walked from outside the city to the stairs of the "Chu Palace" in Pengcheng (Xuzhou, Jiangsu).

Like outside, there are drunk Peng Yue's subordinates lying here, and some people even ignore the fact that this was once the solemn palace of the Chu State after the restoration, and directly open their clothes and pee, and some people even forgot to put the work below.

I don't know if it's urine or wine in the cup.

"You really want to spoil the general, get out!"

Enraged, he pushed the drunk away.

The drunken man staggered to his feet and was about to scold, but he saw clearly that it was a mistake, and this was like a mouse seeing a raccoon slave, and hurriedly apologized and retreated.

Hu Yu's status in the Qi army is second only to Peng Yue.

He was one of the hundred bandits Peng Yue was robbing in Juyeze, and when Peng Yue raised his troops, he told the group of thieves that if he wanted him to take everyone outside to do something big, he would gather on time at sunrise the next day.

At that time, someone was late, for Peng Yue to kill chickens and monkeys, but Hu Yue was the first to arrive, and since then Peng Yue regarded as his right-hand man, this time Peng Yue probably left half of the people in Jibei, Linzi, Changyi, and brought 30,000 people to the south, Hu Yu is his deputy general.

Hu Yu supported Peng Yue's choice, and seeing that the chaos in the world was about to end, it was time for them to choose their camp again.

The march was smooth, from Changyi to the south, Huling County thought that the Qi army was an ally, and it was quickly captured, and the next Pei County was easier, Chen Ping had sent people to infiltrate, Pei people responded internally, and the Qi army was too strong, so he fought a tough battle in Liuxian.

Liuxian is the northern gateway of Pengcheng, and if Liuxian is not guarded, Pengcheng will open the door to outsiders. At present, the main force of the Chu army is fighting with the Qin army between Chen and Song, and there are few defenders of Pengcheng, leaving only thousands of old and weak to stay in the city.

In this way, on June 15, Peng Yue's army occupied Pengcheng without blood.

"Pengcheng Pengcheng should be the city of Pengyue."

Qin Chu was still struggling to confront hundreds of miles to the west, but Peng Yue picked up the cheap, and won this big victory, it was inevitable that he was a little complacent, and he felt that he had more chips in his hand, so he asked his subordinates to garrison around Pengcheng, and he entered the city to see the prosperity of the new capital of Chu.

The Surabaya basin is a place rich in grains, mulberry, hemp, and six livestock, and Pengcheng is more important by land and water, extending in all directions, as the capital of Chu State, the prosperity of Pengcheng is even worse than the dilapidated Linzi.

Peng Yue unceremoniously stayed in the Chu Palace, collected the treasures and beauties that the Chu people did not have time to take away, and set up wine and drinks all day long, cheering and drinking, and his subordinates were not polite, Dasuo women, as for the city defense, they were handed over to the trustworthy Hu.

Hu Yu walked into the hall from the stairs, but saw that it was even more chaotic inside, people were busy going in and out, holding wine cups and wine glasses, and some were still holding Chu Nu, all drinking happily.

Peng Yue sat at the top, watching the brothers get drunk or shouting, drawing their swords and hitting the pillar, they were not angry, but laughed and groaned.

But his laughter froze after Hu Yu stepped forward and whispered.

"There is a Chu army approaching more than ten miles away in the east?"

Peng Yue was shocked, drunk at all, and asked Hu Yu to follow him outside, and inquired in detail, when he learned that the Chu army sent by Hu Yue had as many as 10,000 people, and it was likely to be the Long Ji Department stationed in Langya, Peng Yue only felt cold sweat.

"Didn't Chen Ping say that Cao Ying entangled Long Ji and would not let him go south?"

He became serious and asked:

"Where is Chen Ping?"

Hu Yu said: "Chen Ping and Peidi soldiers are in Liuxian County, supervising the grain and grass for our army, and at the same time protecting my rear. ”

He added, "This is what the general has promised." ”

Peng Yue gritted his teeth: "This person really can't tell the truth, and he lured me to take Pengcheng, but it is actually a fraud!" Chen Ping has always been in contact with Jiaodong, how could he not even know the news that Long He went south to Chu? How dare I let him protect my rear! ”

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, Peng Yue immediately asked the Chu girl who was dancing for them with tears in his eyes to blow away, and kicked the drunk and unconscious generals and shouted, asking them to collect the soldiers, bring the gold and silver that they had looted, and prepare to run away......

As a rogue, Peng Yue has never been a person who likes to fight tough battles, and pays attention to picking up cheap and leaving.

But after the subordinates carnival and recklessness, how can it be so easy to rein? It took a whole day to find about the 30,000 people scattered in the city, and to take them out of the city the next evening, ready to retreat north.

But at this time, an army with torches had arrived on the other side of Surabaya, across the water from Peng Yue's army.

Look at that flag, it's really a dragon!

At this time, Peng Yue didn't dare to cross the Surabaya pontoon bridge easily, so he had to rely on the city and line up the 30,000 troops for four miles to confront the Chu generals on the opposite side.

"30,000 enemies and 10,000 enemies, and the other party is coming from afar, so it should be easy to break."

Several of Peng Yue's generals were very confident, and the victories in the past half a month made them a little inflated, and they felt that the Chu army was nothing more than that.

"Confused, how can our army fight a tough battle?"

Peng Yue knew very well that his subordinates were born as a giant thief, and the soldiers under his command were complex, including bandits and light heroes, basically undertrained, they had a conflict with the Chu army in Linzi, the same number of people, they were not the opponent of the Chu army at all, and it was difficult to gain the upper hand against the Jiaodong militia.

In addition, Peng Yue's recent fire and merger with the team of Taishan bandits made it even more difficult for the armies to coordinate with each other.

"If my subordinates are really a division of a hundred battles, sitting on fifty or sixty thousand people, which is enough to dominate one side, I don't have to listen to Chen Ping's words and rush to join Heifu......"

It is precisely because he understands that his own strength is false, Peng Yue hopes to rely on the number of bluffs to protect the existing interests before the world is settled.

But this is a good thing, Peng Yue picked it up cheaply, scared away the monarchs and ministers of Chu in Pengcheng, and made the three armies carnival, but like a thief who retreated too late after a burglary, he was hit by the man who went home......

The only hope is that the other party is provoked and will cross the water in a hurry, giving Peng Yue a chance to cross halfway.

So he let people provoke the dragon and even humiliate the Chu people in the city, and the laughter was very wanton.

Seeing that their homes were abused, the Chu soldiers hated it so much, even if they couldn't help but want to cross the water, but they were all stopped by the dragon, with a grudge, this group of mourning soldiers also sat on the ground to rest, but they were all polishing their weapons, chewing dry food, and looking at the disorganized Peng Yuejun viciously.

In this way, the confrontation lasted all night, and the enemy was still unsuccessful, and the soldiers under Peng Yue were a little impatient, and some of them had not even slowed down the strength of the first night's wine, and when they saw that the other party was also blocked by the raging Surabaya and could not cross the river, they sat on the ground to rest and fell asleep.

By the eve of dawn, the people who woke up were thirsty and tired, and they were scrambling to fetch water from the nearby river, and the whole army was completely out of order.

The rabble doesn't even have to fight, as long as the formation lasts for a long time, they will lose order.

At dawn, when Peng Yue's eyelids also began to fight, the right-wing flank suddenly sounded the horn of warning!

"Woooooo

With the white belly of the fish on the horizon, the horn sounded through the suburbs of Pengcheng, wild and urgent.

This is a warning, an enemy attack!

Turning around, Peng Yue saw a scene that he would never forget in his life.

The western sky was still a deep purple, dotted with a few stars, a faint mist shrouded the four fields, and the chaotic sound of horses' hooves came from the other end of the fog.

Peng Yue felt trembling for the first time in his life, he was a wolf who was constantly wandering in search of prey, but this time, it seemed to feel a low tiger roar......

Hundreds of chariots rushed out of the mist and rolled over, and the horses were covered with black and yellow leather, and they really looked like a group of fierce tigers with teeth and claws, rushing towards Peng Yue's rear army!
