A figure in the Pengyue-Lu southwest dialect

Peng Yue scratched Chu, this idiom is a kind of military strategy, which means "dividing troops into multiple routes, some troops from different directions to pretend to attack and harass the enemy, holding the enemy back and forth so that they cannot save each other, and another part of the troops detouring to attack other targets." The "Peng Yue" in the idiom is to be called the three famous generals of the early Han Dynasty together with Han Xin and Yingbu. During the confrontation between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, Peng Yue had been leading troops to fight in the lands of Liang and Chu, often attacking the rear of the Chu army, and twice forcing Xiang Yu to return to the rescue to help Liu Bang fight in the main battlefield.

Peng Yue (彭越), courtesy name Zhong, was born in 196 BC, a native of Changyi County (present-day Juye County, Heze, Shandong) during the Qin and Han dynasties. The Chronicle of history, volume 90, and the 30th biography of Peng Yue of Wei Bao records: "The young man (Ohnozawa, now referring to more than 100 young people in the Juye area) asked (Peng Yue was the leader), Naixu. With the sunrise meeting of the period, the late one is chopped. When the sun rises, after more than ten people, the latter reaches the middle of the day. So Yue Xie said, "The elders of the lords, the kings think that they are long." After this period and more, it is not possible to curse the last person. 'Let the headmaster behead him.' Everyone laughed and said, 'Why?' Please don't dare. 'Then Yue Nai led a man to behead him, and set up an altar sacrifice, which was a disciple. The disciples were horrified, afraid, and did not dare to look up. This passage is that when he first gathered men and horses to lead the team, he beheaded the last soldier who was late on the first day, and used the soldier's human head to sacrifice the flag and raise the army.

The Chronicle of Peng Yue, Volume 90 of the Chronicle of Wei Bao, also records: "In the third year of the Reign of Han, Peng Yue often traveled to and from Han rangers, attacking Chu, and cutting off his food in Liangdi. In the winter of the fourth year of the Han Dynasty, King Xiang and King Han were separated from Xingyang, and Peng Yue attacked Suiyang and the Seventeen Cities of Outer Huang. When King Xiang heard this, he made Cao Wei defend the city of Gao, and from the east to collect peng Yue's cities, all of which were restored to Chu. The more his troops went north to Gucheng. In the autumn of the fifth year of the Han Dynasty, King Xiang went south to Yangxia, and Peng Yuefu went down to more than 20 cities next to Changyi, and obtained more than 100,000 huts from the valley to feed the King of Han. This passage records his two major "scratching Chu" operations, using the tactics of the enemy advancing and retreating, and the enemy retreating and chasing after him, so that Xiang Yu was tired of fighting on both sides, so that the food and equipment of the Chu army could not be supplied, and Liu Bang on the front line was given the opportunity not to be annihilated by Xiang Yu.

Liu Bang suspected that Peng Yue had the reason for rebellion, and there are also two records in the Chronicle of History, Volume 90, Wei Bao, Peng Yue Lie's Biography No. 30, one is that in 205 BC, Liu Bang lost the battle and sent an emissary called Peng Yue to join forces to attack Xiang Yu. Peng Yue said, "Wei Di has just been pacified, and he is still afraid of the Chu army and cannot go there." Liu Bang had no choice but to raise an army alone to pursue the Chu army, but was defeated by Xiang Yu at Guling. There was no way, Liu Bang asked Zhang Liang, and used Zhang Liang's strategy to tell Peng Yue that if Xiang Yu was defeated this time, he would make you the King of Liang, and the land of the cities north of Suiyang would be sealed to you. Peng Yue then led his men and horses to meet Liu Bang's army and defeated Xiang Yu. Another time was in 204 BC, when Chen Feng rebelled in Daidi, Liu Bang personally led his troops to go on a crusade, arrived in Handan, and recruited troops from Peng Yue. Peng Yue said that he was ill and sent his generals to Handan with an army...

Later, as the King of Liang, Peng Yue was very angry with his servant and planned to kill him. The servant fled to Liu Bang and accused Peng Yue and Hu Yuan of plotting rebellion. Therefore, Liu Bang sent envoys to attack and arrest Peng Yue unexpectedly and imprison him in Luoyang. Peng Yuexian was deposed by Liu Bang as a commoner and exiled to Qingyi County, Shudi. Peng Yue met Lü Yan on the way to exile and asked her to intercede with Liu Bang and say good things. Lü Yan deceived him and brought him back to Luoyang. Lü Yan said to Liu Bang, "King Peng, a strong soldier, is now migrating to Shu, and it is better to be punished by this self-inflicted wound." Concubines come with each other. When Liu Bang was still hesitating to kill or not to kill, Lü Yan asked Peng Yue's disciples to accuse him of plotting rebellion again. This time, Liu Bang approved the murder of Peng Yue and the annihilation of three generations of his family.

Later, the world believed that Peng Yue was the first military expert in the history of world war to formally use guerrilla warfare tactics, and could be said to be the ancestor of guerrilla warfare. To this end, Peng Yue was among the sixty-four ancient famous generals established by the Tang Dynasty and the seventy-two famous ancient generals established by the Song Dynasty.
