Chapter 07
After spending so many years with Zhang Liang, Xiang Bo never knew that Zhang Liang was a descendant of Han Xiang. It wasn't until Xiang Zhuang visited Xiapi and then the president that Xiang Bo woke up from a dream.
Although Zhang Liang hid it for so long, Xiang Bo was not angry. After all, when he was at his lowest, it was Zhang Liang who helped him through the most difficult moment.
But later, Zhang Liang asked for help in front of Xiang Liang, wanting to assist King Han in restoring the country, and then said goodbye to Xiang Bo in a hurry. In Xiang Bo's heart, he always hoped to have the opportunity to repay Zhang Liang and thank him for taking him in.
This time Xiang Bo went north and learned that Zhang Liang had followed Liu Bang and marched westward. He was in Liu Bang's army at this time. If Xiang Yu led his army to attack Liu Bang and everyone was destroyed, Zhang Liang would also follow Liu Bang and fall into the army.
Because of this, Xiang Bo hurriedly stopped Xiang Yu. At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on Xiang Bo. Xiang Bo thought for a moment, coughed dryly, and then sighed: "Yu'er, why are you in such a hurry? The soldiers just arrived today." How can I go into battle and kill the enemy after a banquet, my eyes are drunk, why not wait all night, wait until dawn tomorrow, assemble the troops, and attack Liu Bang before it is too late."
Uncle Xiang was selfish and lacked confidence in what he said, but no one noticed the clue. Xiang Yu thought about it briefly and concluded that Uncle Xiang's words were reasonable. After laughing twice, he sighed: "It's just Liu Bang, I regard him as reckless." , don’t rush for a while,”
Everyone nodded in agreement, but Fan Zeng said anxiously: "The war is about to begin, and there are many changes overnight. How can the general change his mind?"
"Hey, my father's words are wrong. Liu Bang only has an army of 100,000, so why should he be afraid?" Xiang Yu laughed heartily.
On the side, Xiang Bo also echoed: "I also think that Liu Bang is not something to be afraid of. We might as well let the soldiers rest for a night. Besides, the army is having a banquet and the soldiers are in high spirits. Sending troops at this time will have a great impact on morale." , the combat effectiveness will also be greatly affected, so we should fight again after dawn,"
This time, Xiang Yu ignored Fan Zeng, only thought for a moment, nodded and said: "Just follow what uncle wants,"
,,,,,,
Leaving Xiang Yu's tent, Xiang Bo secretly thought he was lucky. If he hadn't happened to come to Xiang Yu's tent, a secret letter from Cao Wushang tonight would have definitely aroused Xiang Yu's determination to attack Liu Bang. At that time, The Chu army broke through Liu Bang's camp, and everyone was burned to death. Zhang Liang may not be spared either.
I have been with Zhang Liang day and night for so many years and have a deep relationship. Moreover, if Zhang Liang hadn't taken me in at the beginning, I still don't know where I would be drifting now.
The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became, so Xiang Bo quickened his pace. Next to a sentry tower, Xiang Bo untied his war horse from the stake, turned over, waved his whip, and hurried towards his barracks.
After about a stick of incense, Xiang Bo returned to his tent. The tent was empty except for a charcoal pot, which had been replaced not long ago.
It was very warm inside the tent. Xiang Bo worriedly walked back to the table and sat down. After sitting for a while, he got up and walked around the station. At this moment, he didn't know how to resolve this crisis.
After a while, Xiang Bo walked back to the table and sat down. He picked up the brush and a piece of sheepskin on the table. After spreading the sheepskin flat, Xiang Bo wrote a secret letter with his pen. After finishing, he picked up the sheepskin and blew gently with his mouth to dry the ink. But after blowing for a while, Xiang Bo felt something was wrong and put the sheepskin on the table again.
If this secret letter is intercepted, the consequences will be disastrous. Although Xiang Yu will not do anything to him, leaking military secrets is a serious crime.
After thinking for a while, Xiang Bo took the sheepskin and walked to the charcoal pot. He threw the sheepskin into the charcoal pot until the sheepskin was melted by the charcoal pot. Then he picked up a big cloak in the tent and hurried out of the tent.
Instead of writing a secret letter and being on tenterhooks, Xiang Bo thought that he might as well go there in person. No matter what, only by meeting Zhang Liang in person would Xiang Bo feel at ease.
At this time, Xiang Bo hurriedly walked out of the tent and shouted to the few followers guarding the barracks: "Follow me."
Everyone took their horses and hurried out of the camp.
From Hongmen to Bashang, you need to take the north Chidao road, then pass through Lishan Mountain and cross the Bahe River to see Liu Bang's military camp.
It was already late at night. Xiang Bo and others were holding torches and marching hard. However, Xiang Bo was so anxious that he didn't care about the rugged road and kept galloping. Soon, everyone left the place and turned to Lishan Mountain. The mountain road was winding.
Hey, horses can't move in a hurry,
After walking for some distance, suddenly, the lights were brightly lit in front of him. A member of his entourage suddenly stopped his horse, pointed forward on his horse, and said urgently: "General, look ahead quickly."
At this time, Xiang Bo followed the others and stopped to watch. Not far away, about three hundred steps away, there were bright lights and thousands of torches. It was obvious that this was an army.
Xiang Bo felt something bad in his heart. What kind of soldiers and horses could intercept him here at such a late hour?
Just as Xiang Bo was about to send someone to investigate, a cavalry group was already galloping towards him. As he approached, one of the cavalrymen shouted: "General Xiang Bo, my general wants you to have a talk on the mountain."
"Your general," Xiang Bo was a little surprised. The people opposite could call him by his name. It was conceivable that they really came for him. Although he had doubts in his heart, Xiang Bo did not dare to relax at all.
He thought silently in his heart, which army would it be?
Liu Bang did not dare to expand his army to the Lishan area, and the coalition forces from various countries were all under Xiang Yu's command and did not dare to act recklessly. So, it is possible that Xiang Yu already knew that he was going to Liu Bang's camp.
Thinking of Xiang Yu, Xiang Bo secretly thought that something was wrong. If Xiang Yu knew that he was going to Liu Bang's camp late at night, he would not forgive himself. Thinking of this, Xiang Bo sighed and shouted: "You are Xiang Yu's subordinates,"
"No, my general is Xiang Zhuang,"
A man rode out from the group of soldiers on the opposite side. Xiang Bo carefully identified the person by the light of the fire. He turned out to be Ding Gu. Seeing him, Xiang Bo's worry was finally relieved.
Ding Gu saluted Xiang Bo on his horse and then smiled and said: "General Xiang Bo, we have been waiting for you here for a long time. Please come with me."
"Zhuang'er," Xiang Bo muttered silently. Xiang Zhuang was waiting for him here, which made Xiang Bo extremely surprised. He vaguely felt that Xiang Zhuang seemed to have known that he would go to Ba Shang, but he had already blocked his way.
Xiang Bo knew that it would be inappropriate for him to break out of the encirclement by force. Moreover, what was waiting for him on Lishan Mountain was Xiang Zhuang, his nephew. No matter what, he had to go and meet him for a while.
After thinking for a while, Xiang Bo nodded and said: "Okay, you can lead the way."
Together with Ding Gu, they turned around the east foot of Lishan Mountain. On a winding mountain road, Xiang Bo saw Xiang Zhuang, who had been waiting for a long time. Xiang Zhuang was sitting on a stone pier when he saw Xiang Bo coming in a hurry.
He stood up and saluted: "I've met my uncle,"
"Haha, it's Zhuang'er. What do you mean you are here so late?" Xiang Bo asked casually, but he was extremely nervous in his heart.
Xiang Zhuang smiled back and said, "I don't know why my uncle left Chu camp so late."
Xiang Zhuang deliberately pretended to be confused until Bo Xiang was stunned. He thought for a long time before he smiled and said: "I have something important to do and want to go to Xianyang."
"Haha, uncle, why do you need to hide it from me? Are you going to see Liu Bang?" Xiang Zhuanghao did not hide anything. He went straight to the topic, which made Xiang Bo's eyes widen in surprise.
After a while, Xiang Bo saw that he couldn't hide Xiang Zhuang, so he had to sigh: "Zhang Liang is under Liu Bang at this time. If Yu'er sends troops to attack Liu Bang, Zhang Liang will definitely be implicated. I really can't bear it, so I want to We must persuade Zhang Liang to leave as soon as possible."
"Uncle, do you think you can persuade Zhang Liang?" Xiang Zhuang asked, but Xiang Bo hesitated.
Seeing that Xiang Bo was speechless, Xiang Zhuang sneered. His uncle had helped Liu Bang in every possible way throughout history, causing Xiang Yu to become passive again and again, and eventually to his demise. Now that he has returned to the end of the Qin Dynasty, this kind of tragedy must be avoided. ,
Seeing that Uncle Xiang was silent, Xiang Zhuang sighed softly and said, "I have a plan to help Liu Bang tide over the difficulties. I wonder if my uncle is willing to listen to it."
Seeing Xiang Zhuang say this, Xiang Bo was surprised and said: "What does Zhuang'er mean by this?"
"I have been friends with Liu Bang for many years. This time, the relationship between the two armies has deteriorated, and I am helpless. Brother Yu wants to attack Liu Bang this time, and I have no way to dissuade him. I can only do my best. If uncle wants to go to Liu Bang, Camp, you might as well take my suggestions with you, I can ensure that Liu Bang is safe and sound this time." Xiang Zhuang and Xiang Bo found a stone pier to sit down together. At this time, two wine bags were delivered to Xiang Zhuang, and Xiang Zhuang handed them to Xiang Bo. The uncle smiled and said: "Take a sip to go away the cold."
Xiang Bo took the wine bag and had no intention of drinking. He looked at Xiang Zhuang and asked in surprise: "If you have anything you need me to tell you, just tell me."
"I have friendship with Liu Bang, and I don't want to see him become a fan, so I came here to offer my advice. When Hu Hai was there, he mobilized a large number of civilians and criminals to build the Afang Palace. If Liu Bang wanted to survive, he might as well mobilize the civilians to join the army. Maybe we could have leverage to negotiate. Then At that time, Brother Yu was jealous of Liu Bang, so he continued to advance his troops."
"But at this time, the relationship between the two armies has deteriorated extremely. If I hadn't taken action tonight, Yu'er might have led his army to kill Ben Ba. Once Liu Bang recruits troops, it is likely to trigger a bigger war. I rushed to this time "Bashang, I just want to persuade Zhang Liang to leave. There is nothing else I can do." Xiang Bo expressed his worries. Seeing Xiang Bo's hesitation, Xiang Zhuang could only sigh: "Uncle, you might as well give it a try first. If Zhang Liang is unwilling to leave with his uncle, so he might as well offer this plan. I predict that Zhang Liang will not refuse his uncle's kindness."
After listening to Xiang Zhuang's words, Xiang Bo could only nod his head, turned around and shouted to his entourage: "Prepare your horses and follow me to continue setting off."
Xiang Zhuang's team made a way, and Xiang Bo and others left in a hurry. Watching Xiang Bo leave, Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but sneer. Since history can't be changed, it's better to confuse it. At the Hongmen Banquet, Liu Bang only hid because he showed weakness. After a catastrophe, if Liu Bang gathers the people of Lishan to serve as an army, will the Hongmen Banquet still appear? Maybe, the war will start in Xianyang.
