d7fd34b8f3In the big tent, following Xiang Yu's order, the soldiers began to bring wine and food and place them on everyone's table. A group of soldiers dressed in strange clothes rushed into the big tent, waving the wooden swords and shields in their hands, borrowing He danced to the military music coming from outside the tent,

The first hurdle was finally passed, and Liu Bang felt a little relieved at this time, but how to survive the remaining hours in Chu Camp became an insurmountable hurdle for Liu Bang.

Fan Zeng, who was sitting next to Xiang Yu, took out the jade jue from his arms and placed it on the table. He deliberately put the jade jue down and made a muffled sound. This was to remind Xiang Yu that it was time to take action.

But Xiang Yu was moved by what Liu Bang just said and had no intention of killing Liu Bang. He ignored Fan Zeng, but picked up the wine glass and smiled at Liu Bang: "If you don't explain many things clearly, others will never know what's in your heart." Thoughts, let’s drink to reconcile this misunderstanding,”

Liu Bang also smiled and picked up the wine glass and drank with Xiang Yu, but no one could see that Liu Bang's legs, kneeling under his buttocks, were trembling.

After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere became much better. At this time, Fan Zeng picked up the jade jue from the table and coughed dryly. He glared at Xiang Yu, but Xiang Yu always ignored him.

His anger had reached the extreme, but Fan Zeng had to try his best to control it. At this time, he had given up pressing Xiang Yu and his eyes wandered around the tent, hoping to find someone else to assassinate Liu Bang.

Just as Fan Zeng's eyes were wandering, he suddenly discovered that an officer walked into the tent, whispered a few words to Xiang Zhuang, and then Xiang Zhuang left in a hurry. This move made Fan Zeng realize that he could let Xiang Zhuang come. To complete this task,

No matter from any aspect, Xiang Zhuang is the best candidate. Thinking of this, Fan Zeng put the jade in his hand on the table. This time, he did not stare at Xiang Yu again, but stood up, cupped his hands and said with a smile, "I need to go to the toilet." ,Everyone is free to do as he pleases,"

Fan Zeng staggered out of the tent and looked at Fan Zeng's leaving figure. Zhang Liang beside him finally let out a sigh of relief.

After leaving the tent, Fan Zeng walked towards the outside of the camp. Not far away, he saw Xiang Zhuang not far away. Xiang Zhuang was talking to a plainly dressed soldier at this time. Fan Zeng also walked over quickly and came closer. , Fan Zeng vaguely heard the man speak: "Liu Bang's army recruited troops in Xianyang this morning, mostly young men who had built Afang Palace, and the number was tens of thousands."

"Oh, he finally did it," Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but laugh. Fan Zeng on the side also smiled and nodded. Only then did Xiang Zhuang realize that Fan Zeng had come. He smiled and bowed to Fan Zeng, but at this time Xiang Zhuang was eager to know. Regarding the situation of Liu Bangjun, he continued to ask: "So, do you know how many troops they have at this time?"

"I made some inquiries and found that Liu Bang's army does not exceed 120,000,"

"Why?" This news was beyond Xiang Zhuang's expectation.

"I heard that when they were recruiting soldiers, they dismissed the old and weak soldiers, gave them money, and let them go back to their hometowns so that they no longer had to join the army and suffer," the soldier replied with his hands in hand.

Liu Bang recruited a group of people and disbanded a group of them. This was to form an elite force, but he didn't want the numbers to be too sensitive and arouse Xiang Yu's suspicion. This Liu Bang is really amazing.

But if Liu Bang didn't recruit troops on a large scale, Xiang Zhuang knew that his plan would be ruined. He thought quietly for a moment and then asked, "Is there any other news?"

"No more." The soldier bowed his hands. After Xiang Zhuang asked the soldiers to retreat, he looked at Fan Zeng and sighed: "Old sir, my plan has failed."

Needless to say, Fan Zeng already knew it, and he was also very annoyed at this time. He wanted Xiang Yu to kill Liu Bang during the dinner, and signaled Yu Jue three times, but Xiang Yu always ignored him, which also made Fan Zeng very upset. This Liu Bang , it is not easy, he can persuade Xiang Yu to let go of him, and Fan Zeng also roughly heard what the soldier just said, Liu Bang's army disbanded the old and weak soldiers, and recruited young men to build Afang Palace in Xianyang to supplement its strength, but However, he refused to recruit too many troops and only guaranteed 120,000 troops. This was a speed that Xiang Yu could accept.

The general incident forced Fan Zeng to look at Liu Bang differently. At this time, he and Xiang Zhuang looked at each other for a moment, and both shook their heads helplessly. For a while, neither of them had any good ideas.

Time passed minute by minute, and laughter could be heard from time to time in the tent. Killing Liu Bang had become the common goal of the two of them. After much hesitation, Fan Zeng finally made a decision. He looked at Xiang Zhuang with firm eyes and said helplessly. : "There is only one last move left, why not assassinate Liu Bang during the dinner,"

Hongmen Banquet, Xiangzhuang's sword dance, intended for Pei Gong,

Maybe this thing will happen in history, but at this time, Xiang Zhuang is no longer the same Xiang Zhuang. He can't be reckless enough to assassinate Liu Bang during the banquet. Moreover, what Xiang Zhuang failed to do in history, he himself How can we guarantee it?

If he listened to Fan Zeng's words, Xiang Zhuang knew that there would be fewer opportunities to kill Liu Bang in the future. After thinking for a while, Xiang Zhuang looked at Fan Zeng and sighed: "It's not that I won't assassinate Liu Bang. You also know, old gentleman, Yu Brother Yu has been persuaded by Liu Bang at this time, and he has no intention of killing Liu Bang. Even if I enter the big tent and offer a dance as an excuse to wait for an opportunity to assassinate him, Brother Yu will not sit idly by and ignore it. At that time, the situation will be reversed and we will be in a dilemma. If What can I do?”

Seeing that Xiang Zhuang also wanted to reject him, Fan Zeng was a little unhappy. Just as he was about to speak, Xiang Zhuang said first: "If the old gentleman is willing to listen to me, we might as well make a fuss about Liu Bang's recruitment of troops and criticize Liu Bang. Shang There is a glimmer of hope,"

Since Xiang Zhuang had refused, Fan Zeng knew that it was meaningless to point at Xiang Zhuang, but Xiang Zhuang reminded Fan Zeng that he could make a fuss about recruiting troops from Liu Bang. This might be a way, and it was also the only chance to kill Liu Bang. Fan Zeng After pondering for a long time, he finally nodded and agreed to the matter.

The two discussed it for a while, then hurried to the tent shop.

,,,,,,

When the two returned to the big tent, they had already drank many glasses of wine. At this time, Xiang Yu, Liu Bang and others were all drunk. Fan Zeng walked back to his seat and sat down, but he heard that Liu Bang and Xiang Yu were discussing. , there are many bandits in the pass, so Hangu Pass is strictly guarded to prevent bandits from entering the east of the pass, so as not to threaten the foundation of the Chu State, etc.,

Such remarks could only deceive a three-year-old child, but Xiang Yu listened with gusto, probably because he was drunk. Thinking of this, Fan Zeng could no longer sit back and ignore it. He stood up and reprimanded: "Someone once pointed out that, General Liu Bang monopolized Xianyang Palace, slept with beauties while drunk, guarded Hangu Pass, wanted to establish himself as the king of Qin, had his son and infant as prime minister, and bought the hearts of the people in the pass. Is there such a thing?"

Fan Zeng's sudden attack made Liu Bang feel shocked. He hurriedly stood up and replied: "This is absolutely not the case. This is Cao Wushang's malicious slander."

"Malicious slander," Fan Zeng sneered twice, and then said: "Then General Liu is recruiting troops on a large scale in Guanzhong. Most of them are young and strong. He wants to expand the army. What is the purpose of this? Do you want to openly confront the general? ,"

"You..." Liu Bang was speechless by Fan Zeng's words. Suddenly, the tent was tense. Everyone's eyes turned to the two of them, waiting for the next second to see whether Xiang Yu would be angry because of Fan Zeng's words.

But it was obvious that Xiang Yu was already three points drunk at this time. He glared at Liu Bang, as if the person he had been drinking with just now had turned into a devil. The atmosphere suddenly dropped. Liu Bang knew that he could not turn white anymore, so he backed away in horror. Two steps, it seemed that Xiang Yu was going to kill himself with a knife in the next second.

Seeing the sudden change in the situation, Zhang Liang hurriedly stood up, cupped his hands and said, "General, will you allow me to say something?"

Xiang Yu had returned to his seat at this time. When he saw that Zhang Liang had something to say, he could only wave his hand and said, "Go ahead."

Zhang Liang slowly walked out of the desk and came to the center of the big tent. Fan Zeng's sudden attack was already expected by Zhang Liang. At this time, he thought for a moment, sorted out his words in his heart, and then sighed: "Back then, Qin General Meng Meng Yi once led an army of 200,000 to kill the Huns from the north of the Yellow River. What a momentum and courage. But after so many years, the Huns have always been worried about it. Now that they have recovered their strength, they may go south at any time to harass Guanzhong. If Liu A general cannot be prepared for danger in times of peace and take precautions in advance. I am afraid that when the Xiongnu goes south, Guanzhong will be plunged into dire straits again, so..."

Zhang Liang did not continue. He used the excuse that the Xiongnu were worried about the north and cleverly resolved the crisis. At this time, Liu Bang had already sighed and said to Xiang Yu: "It's my fault for not saying hello to the general in advance. This matter I am willing to punish myself with three cups of wine and apologize to the general,"

A soldier stepped forward and filled the wine glass. Liu Bang raised the glass and drank it all in one gulp. He then turned the glass upside down, smiled and said, "It's a pleasure."

Seeing Liu Bang like this, Xiang Yu also took a wine glass and said with the wine: "Okay, I accept your apology."

The two of them each held wine glasses and took a few sips. At this time, Zhang Liang continued: "Back then, Cao Wushang made something out of nothing to slander General Liu in an attempt to cause a war between the two armies, so that he could use it as a promotion. Literary surrender, General. If these people cannot be severely punished, I am afraid that in the future, some people in the Chu army will continue to follow suit and disrupt military discipline. But when we wanted to deal with Cao Wushang, this person was killed by your army. Among the host troops, I don’t know why the coalition forces would accept a rebel general.”

After Zhang Liang finished speaking, he looked at Xiang Zhuang deeply, but Xiang Zhuang did not appear panicked. He still sat on the soft seat with a calm expression, watching Zhang Liang chattering here, and Xiang Yu also It could be seen from Zhang Liang's expression that his words seemed to be directed at Xiang Zhuang, so he coughed dryly and sighed: "Let me investigate this matter and I will give you an explanation."

Zhang Liang//Knowing that Xiang Yu was unlikely to embarrass Xiang Zhuang over this matter, and that the matter could only be left undisturbed, he continued: "General Xiang Zhuang led the Poyang army to the north and wanted to strengthen himself. The king once said that if you enter Guanzhong first, you can become the king. Today, General Liu is the first to enter Guanzhong and destroy the Qin State. Just think, King Huai's will is not fulfilled. General Liu is ordered by the king to supervise Guanzhong. Is there any way to recruit troops? Where is the right?"

Zhang Liang's pressing step by step silenced everyone. Xiang Zhuang also knew at this moment that he had been careless. It was his carelessness that made Zhang Liang seize the opportunity, turn his back on the guests, and end up giving himself a

Punch hard so that you can't refute,

Xiang Yu was even more livid. He wanted to give Liu Bang a blow, but was told by Zhang Liang that he could not refuse. At this time, Xiang Yu returned to the table and sat down, staring at the wine glass with cold eyes without saying a word.

Quiet,

Xiang Zhuang knew that he could no longer suppress Liu Bang. This was God's will, so he had to make concessions and invite Xiang Yu to Xianyang. He would consider everything in the long run. Zhang Liang asked his son Zhang Buyi to present a gift, two very exquisite jade products. After that, Liu Bang appeared in front of everyone.

Accompanied by his wife, he left the camp,
