"PS: I arrived in Shenzhen today. I'm so tired from the car ride. Now let's go and see the seafood street in Shenzhen."

————The following text————

When it was approaching Haishi, Huan Hu walked slowly out of the Lu Palace, seeing him off personally by Gong Zixing.

The guards guarding the palace gate were very puzzled by this, because a few hours ago, it was Gongzi Xing who personally brought Huan Hu into the palace. I remember that at that time, Gongzi Xing's expression remained unchanged, and his words and deeds seemed to be full of opposition to Huan.

Hu didn't trust Hu, but at this moment, Gong Zixing was surrounding Huan Hu, and there was a feeling of regret for meeting him late.

"...Why does General Huan Hu insist on going back to the post house? If the general is not used to living in the palace, he might as well move to Beppu. I still have some things I want to ask General Huan Hu."

When walking out of the palace, Gongzi Xing pulled Huan Hu's sleeve and said reluctantly.

After hearing this, Huan Hu smiled heartily and said: "Of course Huan Hu dare not refuse the kindness of the young master, but tomorrow Huan will leave Qufu and return to Pei County, and will transfer my troops to Dalu..." Speaking of

Here, he saw the look of disappointment and regret on the young master's face, so he comforted him and said: "How about waiting for Huan to lead his troops back to Qufu someday, and then go to harass the young master?"

"This..." Considering the urgency of the matter, Gongzi Xing could only nod his head, and bid farewell to Huan Hu at the palace gate: "General Huan Hu, I and my father are waiting for the general's good news in Qufu."

"Okay." Huan Hu nodded repeatedly.

After a while, Gongzi Xing returned to the palace, while Huan Hu, humming an unknown tune and swaggering toward the post house, was humming an unknown tune while a group of palace guards near the palace looked at each other in disbelief.

While passing by a nearby alley, a voice came from the alley: "I thought King Lu left you to rest in the palace."

When Huan Hu heard this, he stopped and turned his head to look at the alley. Only then did he notice that in this alley under the night sky, his comrade "Jin Gou" was standing against the brick wall, with an expression that could not be seen.

Joy is anger.

Seeing that there was no one around, Huan Hu grinned and said: "Don't tell me, King Lu did invite me to rest in the palace. In fact, the maids in the palace, tsk tsk, the women of the Lu Kingdom are quite charming...

"

"Then are you willing to let this opportunity go?" Jin Gou asked with a hint of teasing.

Huan Hu snorted and said lightly: "What's the point of playing with someone else's woman? Even if those palace ladies climbed onto my Huan Hu's bed tonight, it was only because of King Lu, not because of

I, Huan Hu...sooner or later, I will make those women climb onto my bed willingly!"

"..."

Jin Gou took a deep look at Huan Hu, then hummed and curled his lips and said: "Pretending."

That's what he said, but he was a little touched by Huan Hu's words in his heart.

It seems that Jin Gou has lived for more than fifty years and has met many different kinds of people, but this is the first time he has seen such a "bold" guy like Huan Hu.

I won’t mention the past events, but this time the Chu State attacked the Lu State. This kind of war between countries was too much for others to avoid, but Huan Hu was so good that he actually joined in and decided to help the weak.

The state of Lu competed with the behemoth state of Chu.

What shocked Jin Gou the most was that Huan Hu's decision to help the Lu State was not just for speculation, but he really put all his property on it.

You know, it took a total of ten years for Huan Hu to develop from hundreds of cavalry bandits when he rebelled against Korea to tens of thousands of troops now. How many decades can a person have in his life? Dare Huan Hu spend ten years fighting?

He used all his belongings to bet that the State of Lu could defeat the behemoth of the State of Chu in this unprecedented battle.

Even Jin Gou admired this courage and courage. This was one of the reasons why he stayed with Huan Hu - he really wanted to see how far this man could reach in this troubled world.

.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask Huan Hu: "Is the matter done?"

After hearing this, Huan Hu showed off with an exaggerated expression: "Didn't you see that I was sent out of the palace by Gong Zixing himself?"

As he said that, he saw that Jin Gou's expression remained unchanged and did not react to his words, so he shrugged and said: "King Lu and his son Xing, father and son, don't know much about military affairs. I just made a few random remarks and said,

It’s enough for their father and son to treat me as a distinguished guest..."

At this point, he also felt funny about what he had just said in front of Lu Wang Gong Shupan and Gongzi Xing and his son.

Although he seemed to point out various shortcomings of the Chu army with reasonable evidence and gave Lu Wang Gongshu Pan and Gong Zixing more confidence in defeating the Chu army, in the final analysis, how can fighting be so easy? If you just rely on talking.

You can win the battle, and aren’t everyone on that day a famous general?

Don't talk about anything else, just talking about the Chu State General Xiang Mo who currently occupies Ningyang. In fact, Huan Hu doesn't have much confidence in his heart. Fortunately, he doesn't need to really defeat Xiang Mo. He just needs to win in this battle.

It is enough to find a way to thwart Chu's ambition to annex Lu.

It can be said that the difficulty has been reduced a lot.

That night, Huan Hu and Jin Gou returned to the post house in the city, preparing to return to Peixian County tomorrow. They packed their bags and took all the troops with them and moved to the territory of Lu - because at this time Huan Hu had already obtained it from Lu Wanggong Shupan.

However, Huan Hu wanted to catch the Chu army off guard, so he hoped that King Lu would not announce it to the outside world for the time being.

In order to prepare Chen Shou in Peixian County as soon as possible, Huan Hu specially sent his confidants back to Peixian County overnight to tell Chen Shou that he had reached an agreement with Lu Wanggong Shupan.

At the same time, in the Peixian area, Chen Shou, the general under Huan Hu who was stationed in the city, suddenly learned of the news of the second Chu army going to the north.

This second Chu army intending to rush to the State of Lu was the army under Xiang Pei, Lord Xinyang of the State of Chu.

It turns out that a few days ago, when Chu Gongzi Yangcheng Jun Xiong Tuo led the main army to Pengcheng, he was blocked by Qi veteran Tian Ao, who had far fewer troops than his Chu army, at Surabaya, and was unable to advance even an inch. Xinyang of Chu State

The partial division led by Jun Xiangpei successfully captured the defenseless "Xiangcheng", and then followed the order of Yangcheng Jun Xiong Tuo and sent his army north to "Xiao County".

To the north of Xiao County is Huan Hu's territory "Pei County".

"Chu Xinyangjun Xiang Pei?"

In the lobby of the Peixian County Government Office, Chen Shou felt a little puzzled when he learned about the commander of the Chu army.

It has to be said that compared to Xiang Mo and Xiang Kuan brothers, the two generals of Chu State, Xinyang Lord Xiang Pei is indeed far inferior to his two clan brothers in terms of reputation, but this does not mean that Xiang Pei is just idle.

After all, the Xiang family has many generals. Seventy-eight of the ten children of the Xiang family in Chu State have become talented. They can truly be regarded as the number one generals who provide generals for the Chu State.

In view of the fact that there was no news from Huan Hu who went to the state of Lu to meet Lu Wanggong Shupan, Chen Shou thought for a long time and decided to stand still. Under the current circumstances, he felt that he had no reason to offend the Chu people unless Huan Hu

The other side has received the exact commitment from King Lu and reached an agreement with the latter.

On October 19, Xiang Pei, Lord of Xinyang of Chu, led an army of 100,000 people from "Xiao County" to "Pei County".

Although it is said to be a route, in fact, Xinyang Jun Xiang Pei had indeed considered capturing the city all the way - under the current situation, any city that is not occupied by the Wei army can be the target of their Chu army's attack, regardless of whether it is a city occupied by the Wei army.

Qi, Yue, Lu, or the Pseudo-Song Dynasty.

Precisely because the imaginary enemies in his mind were the four kingdoms of Qi, Lu, Yue, and Song, when Xiang Pei, the king of Xinyang, who led his army through Peixian County, saw the flag with the word "Huan" erected on the city, he couldn't help but be stunned.

After thinking for a long time, it suddenly dawned on me: It turned out that this was the city occupied by the great thief Huan Hu.

So, is this Huanhu force listed as one of the offensive targets in this battle?

When Xinyang Jun stood up and looked at Peixian County, the Chu generals under his command could no longer hold back. It was no wonder. After all, this time, their Chu son, Yangcheng Jun Xiong Tuo, wanted to survive in this unprecedented battle.

During the war, he annexed Qi and Lu in one fell swoop, and even went as far as to prepare for overtaking Wei in the future.

The promise to reward cities as fiefs to meritorious men made the nobles of the Chu Kingdom hold back a surge of energy in their hearts, wishing to capture all the cities they encountered along the way - after all, such things as rewards of fiefs are not worth mentioning.

It is rare in Chu State, let alone a city in one go.

Under the temptation of this attractive benefit, the generals under Xinyang Jun Xiang Pei asked for help one after another, hoping to lead troops to attack Peixian County.

One of the more reliable suggestions is to first send people to Peixian County to persuade them to surrender. If Huan Hu - they think Huan Hu is in Peixian County - is willing to surrender to the Chu State, then naturally it is best. If he refuses to surrender, then attack

Pei County, Quan should be used as a warm-up battle before attacking Lu State.

Since the generals under his command were unanimous in their opinions, Xiang Pei, Lord of Xinyang, could not displease them, so he wrote a letter urging surrender and sent it to Pei County.

Unlike Xiang Mo's attitude towards Huan Hu, Xiang Pei, the Lord of Xinyang, did not have much appreciation for Huan Hu.

On the same day, Xinyang Jun Xiang Pei's letter of persuasion to surrender was sent to Peixian County, and was delivered to Chen Shou, who was currently not in Peixian County but was in charge of major and minor affairs in the city.

After opening the letter and seeing its contents, Chen Shou couldn't help but frowned.

Because this letter of persuasion to surrender was filled with all kinds of threatening words, which made Chen Shou, who already had a bad impression of the Chu people, feel even more annoyed.

But in the end, he endured it and ordered the entire city to be under martial law to prepare for the Chu army's attack.

When around dusk that day, seeing that Peixian County had not responded, Xiang Pei, the Lord of Xinyang, knew that the other party had obviously refused their surrender. With the insistence of his generals, he ordered his troops to attack ten southeast of Pei County.

Set up camp five miles away and prepare to attack Pei County in the future.

Coincidentally, it was precisely at this time that Huan Hu specially sent his confidants back to Pei County in advance to tell Chen Shou about the agreement with the Lu State: "General Chen, Boss Huan Hu has already reached an agreement with the Lu State.

According to the agreement, I was asked to rush back to Peixian day and night, hoping that General Chen would be ready to move."

Hearing the news, Chen Shou was neither happy nor angry, and asked calmly: "In other words, the Chu army and we have become enemies, right?"

"Yes, it should be." Huan Hu's confidant replied without knowing why.

After hearing this, Chen Shou immediately stood up and walked to his bedroom. After a while, he held a long spear. He saw the expressions of Huan Hu's confidant, who didn't understand that this member of their "Huan Hu force" was in front of him.

Second Master, why did you suddenly run out of the county office with a long gun?

Ignoring the dumbfounded Huan Hu confidant, Chen Shou came to the military camp in the northwest of the city alone, summoned the sergeant who ordered Mao, and ordered: "Pass my order, order 800 cavalry, and follow me to attack the Chu camp!"

"yes!"

Similar to Huan Hu's character, Chen Shou was by no means a person who swallowed his anger. The reason why he was indifferent to the Chu army's aggressive persuasion to surrender during the day was just because he was worried that Huan Hu had not sent anyone to convey the news at that time, so he did not want to provoke Chu.

Army, so as not to ruin Huan Hu's good deeds.

And now, now that it is known that Huan Hu has reached an agreement with Lu Wanggong Shupan, then the Chu army has naturally become an enemy - since they are enemies, there is nothing to be polite about!

That night, probably around the time of Xu, when Xiang Pei, Lord of Xinyang, summoned all his generals to the commander's tent to make arrangements for tomorrow's attack on Pei County, Chen Shou led 800 cavalry and quietly sneaked into Chu.
