In this world.

Smart people often think they are smart, but are actually stupid.

Zhang Er is one of them.

Before he could grasp the absolute strength, he couldn't wait to choose a showdown with Zhong Limei, with the purpose of taking the opportunity to merge this Chu army under his Zhang Er's name.

As long as Zhong Limei surrenders, then Changshan King will have enough strength. It must be said that Zhang Er's strategy from choosing to defect to Zhong Limei to the final lobbying was quite good. Unfortunately, his only mistake

You just saw the wrong person.

Although Zhong Limei has a relatively gentle personality, he is not someone who can be bullied. Besides, he is the number one general under Xiang Yu. Is it possible that he still has to make a living under Zhang Er? Isn't this the more he goes back, the more he goes back.

September 10th.

On the way to Handan, Zhong Limei's army suddenly launched a mutiny. Zhang Er's troops were caught off guard. In addition, all the generals were killed and wounded. Zhang Er's army, which was full of fighting spirit, was completely disarmed.

Later, Zhong Limei unceremoniously sent gifts to Zhang Er, who was still immersed in elation, out of the camp. After a so-called dispute, Zhang Er left the Chu camp alone in frustration and decided to join his old friend.

, Liu Bang, King of Han.

From arriving with 3,000 remnant soldiers to leaving alone, Zhang Er's experience confirms a saying: Don't show off if you don't have the strength, otherwise you'll be struck by lightning if you show off.

After annexing Zhang Erbu, Zhong Limei immediately changed his original marching route and led his army back to Zhongmou. This enclave between Zhao, Wei, and Qin happened to be in the "Three No Matters" zone. For Zhong Limei,

, this is the most suitable place for him to garrison.

——.

Separated by a river.

Two worlds.

In this hot August, Li Yuan had been staying in Luoyang to reorganize the army. The continuous battles exposed some shortcomings of the Qin Army's original organization. If these minor problems are not improved, the Qin Army's future journey will become worse.

More difficult.

Cooperation between multiple arms is a common problem of the Qin army and even all armies of this era. Closer connections must be established between cavalry, crossbowmen, infantry, and auxiliary troops, so as to effectively prevent the various arms from reading each other's abilities.

, resulting in egotism and bullshit thinking.

As for the solution, Li Principle adopted the idea of ​​setting up a doctor in each army. The doctor is mainly responsible for liaison with the superiors and peace officers. At the same time, he also supervises the actions of the various troops in the headquarters to prevent the tiger from being trapped.

The whole army's tactical passivity was caused by Guan's team leading an unauthorized and risky attack.

In this August, an old acquaintance of Li Yuan also came to Luoyang. His arrival surprised Li Yuan.

Peng Yue.

When this big thief from Juyeze arrived in Luoyang, he looked very embarrassed, with sunken cheeks, protruding eye sockets, and his tall body was tortured by the long period of starvation.

Peng Yue's men used to have an army of thousands of bandits at most, but now, there are only six or seven people who came to Luoyang with Peng Yue.

When he heard that Peng Yue had come to join him, Li Yuan almost couldn't believe it. Unlike Han Xin and Chen Ping, Peng Yue came from a thief background and was used to being free and reclusive. How could he come to Luoyang? What made him even more puzzled was

Yes, where were so many of this thief's men? I don't know if they betrayed Peng Yue or were surrounded and annihilated by the Chu army.

Meeting hall.

Li Yuan and Peng Yue met again after parting ways in Daliang. However, this time, the situation of the two people was completely changed, and they changed from rivals on the battlefield to partners who could sit down together.

"General Li, no, Marquis Li, the guilty general Peng Yue is coming to surrender today, and I would like to ask Marquis Li to take him in." Peng Yue was unshaven and looked haggard. The feeling of being held down and beaten by Xiang Yu was really unpleasant.

The premise of guerrilla warfare is that it can only attack from the sides and rear, rather than being swept back and forth by the enemy's main force. After Xiang Yu defeated the Yingbo forces, he began to realize that the surrounding area of ​​Pengcheng was very unsafe, so the Chu army began a large-scale campaign.

During the clearing operation, Peng Yue, who was located on the edge of Chu territory and had extremely low popularity, soon became the focus of the Chu army's attack.

Groups of bandits were wiped out one after another.

Peng Yue's power also gradually weakened. Finally, out of desperation, Peng Yue decided to break out with his trusted troops.

After several fierce battles, when Peng Yue looked back at his men, he was shocked to find that only a few of them were still lucky enough to be with him. Most of the others were scattered and fled to unknown directions, and the rest were annihilated by the Chu army.

In the swamp.

"Peng, General Peng, I heard that you have an old relationship with Liu Bang, the king of Han, why don't you defect to him?" Li Yuan smiled. He really didn't know what to call Peng Yue, so he had to use the general title to describe him.

"Pei Gong——, he is a villain. In the past, Peng Yue was almost deprived of military power by him at the foot of Xingyang City. If he goes to join him now, wouldn't he be asking for trouble?" Peng Yue said with shame on his face.

Xingyang.

He, Peng Yue, is the number one figure in Liu Bang's coalition, and he is the most effective in attacking the city walls. However, now, times have changed, and Peng Yue is now in an embarrassing situation. Liu Bang has turned against him, and Xiang Yu is the enemy who defeated him. Peng Yue can

Li Yuan was indeed the only one left to take refuge.

"General Peng has come to surrender. I will naturally welcome him. However, the Qin army has strict military discipline. I am afraid that General Peng cannot accept it. Why don't you and I make a deal? Our army can provide the general with food, fodder and baggage, and support him when the time is right."

What do you think about returning to Daze and making a comeback?" Li Yuan thought for a while and asked.

"Li Hou, are you serious about this?" Peng Yue's eyes lit up and he asked urgently.

"A man's words are hard to follow. Of course what I said is true. However, if the general intends to harm our country in the future, don't blame me for turning against him." Li Yuan said in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, Marquis Li. Although Peng is a bandit, he also understands the word "faithfulness". If you are asked to do anything in the future, just give him the order." Peng Yue responded loudly.

To be honest, Peng Yue's real purpose in coming to seek refuge with Li Yuan this time was to seek Li Yuan's support. As the saying goes, having a backer behind him is the most nourishing life. If he really wanted to join the Qin army and become a member of the Qin army,

, how could Peng Yue be unable to stand the constraints of military discipline? It is estimated that the result will be the same as when he surrendered to Wei Bao in a short time.

After seeing through Peng Yue's thoughts, Li Yuan stopped talking. Peng Yue's hometown, Juyeze, is located in the northeast of Xingyang. It is not far from Xiang Yu's Chu Kingdom and is at the junction of the Qin and Chu armies.

Once the war broke out, Peng Yue could make a surprise attack on the Chu army's grain road from the rear just like in history.

Unexpectedly recruiting Peng Yue, Li Yuan was in a good mood. As the influence of the Qin army increased, some famous figures in history also began to take the initiative to defect to Luoyang.

Peng Yue is the most famous among them.

In addition to him, the leader of a small force who was unfortunately deprived of military power during Liu Bang's western expedition, Gangwu Marquis Chen Wu, came to defect with more than 800 soldiers.

In the past two years, Chen Wu's life has gotten worse and worse. When he started the army, he originally had four or five thousand people under his command. Unexpectedly, he was fooled by Liu Bang, and his military power was suddenly taken away, and he became a bare-bones commander.

, and when he wanted to return to Dangjun again to lead the team, he found that the world had already been divided into feudal states, and nothing would happen without him.

Dang County.

This place now belongs to the Western Chu State, which means that small forces like Chen Wu who try to read power will have no room to survive. Under Xiang Yu's powerful blow, Chen Wu was able to escape with a group of subordinates.

Already very lucky.

——.

The revived Qin State showed great vitality under Li Yuan's governance.

This is what the people of Qin are happy to see, but it is what other forces do not want to see. Liu Bang's wife Lu Fei is the one who least wants to see Li Yuan being proud.

Lu Pheasant's hatred was due to one thing, which was the large ransom paid to redeem Lu Ze. The money was not given by Liu Bang, the king of Han, but the savings of the Lu family for many years.

Hanzhong County, Xicheng.

Within the county government.

Lu Zhi was dressed in bright red clothes, and his lips were also painted with light leaf makeup. This pink liquid made from the juice of fluffy grass in Hanzhong is very suitable for women's beauty. After being carefully dressed, Lu Pheasant looked like he was only in his early twenties.

, she looks like a lady from a distance.

Lu family.

He was just an ordinary small businessman in Peixian County. But Lu Pheasant had a big heart. When he first fell in love with Liu Bang, he took a fancy to Liu Bang's talent. This is just like investing. Only by taking a long-term view can you make big money.

"Shi Qi, I just heard you say that even the Overlord is no match for him. Isn't that Li Yuan going to become famous again?" Lu Pheasant directed the maid to dress up in front of the bronze mirror while facing a middle-aged man who was standing there.

The man said.

Shen Shiqi was a fellow countryman of Liu Bang. He served as a minister in the Han Dynasty and was mainly responsible for taking care of Liu Bang's wife and children, food and accommodation. When Cao Shen and other Han generals followed Liu Bang on the expedition, Shen Shiqi stayed in Lu Pheasant.

They are always by their side and never leave. Now that they are familiar with each other, Lu Pheasant no longer avoids scrutinizing him while dressing up in the mirror.

"Madam, Shi Qi is presumptuous. Li Yuan is indeed not bad at fighting and has some skills. However, he also has weaknesses that can be exploited. It's a pity that the King of Han never uses them!" Shen Shiqi stared at Lu Pheasant's back for a long time.

Yes, he sighed and said slowly.

"Shi Qi, what did you say? Then what is Li Yuan's weakness? Tell me quickly?" Lu Zhi was taken aback by Shen Shi Qi's words, and his interest immediately rose.

"Mrs. Mingjian, it is true that Li Yuan is full of blood, young and strong. But the Qin State now truly belongs to the Ying family, and there are only two princesses left. It is understood that these two women seem to have some affection for Li Yuan.

Think about it, this is the best opportunity we can take advantage of." Shen Shiqi smiled, turned aside the maids on the left and right, and said close to Lu Fei's ear.

"Eat it, since you have an idea, please explain it in detail. I will report it back to the King of Han before we discuss it." Lu Zhi's charming eyes were like silk, his voice was soft and cooing, and his whole body felt as if it had fallen soft, and he clung to Shen Shi.

its body.

Thirty is like a wolf, forty is like a tiger.

Liu Bang's current favored Qi Ji is less than twenty years old, young and beautiful. Compared with her, Lu Pheasant is at a disadvantage in terms of character and appearance. This makes Lu Pheasant, who is in the best age of a woman's life, to be alone.

Watching the empty house and scrutinizing his daily companionship made Lu Zhi unable to help but feel a little distraught.
