The Conqueror Isn’t Alone

Lu Bu, who can still make fun of this, will not be cooked.

On the other hand, at this time, Xiang Bo was so anxious as if he was being cooked, he was sweating profusely pacing in his tent.

- Rao is that Fan Zeng deliberately concealed, this sudden motion in the Chu army, it is impossible not to alarm Xiang Bo, who is Zuo Yin.

He really couldn't understand what slander Fan Zeng made to Xiang Yu during the second half of the day when he was busy in the camp. He actually made the person who was persuaded by him in the morning change his mind in an instant!

Xiang Bo's mood was forced to rise and fall, and his face was really ugly.

It's not that he didn't see Xiang Yu's face in the tent just now, but he didn't dare to persuade him. However, he just tried to ask a few reasons, and Xiang Yu turned his face in anger.

Compared with the hasty decision he made for the first time a few days ago, he was indeed much more serious this time: not only did he summon the generals of various ministries and urgently held a military aircraft meeting, he also made basic tactical arrangements, only After waiting for two days, they will use troops against the Han army in Guannei.

Xiang Bodeng lost his face in shock and was racking his brains to try to stop him again with excuses such as "returning the word, why should I establish a letter?", but Xiang Yu had a stern face and politely sent him back.

He had never been treated like this before, and Chamberton was surprised and didn't dare to stay.

Xiang Yu never suspected that Su and his dear uncle had colluded with the Han army. He only compared his heart to his heart. He was furious when he realized that he had been fooled by the cunning old "traitor" Liu Bang. The same humiliation did not need to be experienced by the younger uncle again. .

Even for this expedition, he chose a military meeting when Xiang Bo was not there, so that his uncle, who was deceived, would not be harmed.

He never knew how to act, and neither wanted to talk, nor wanted to lie, so he just said "sex" with a straight face and sent people away.

Little did they know that this ambiguity made Xiang Bo, who was guilty of a thief, startled.

If he didn't know Xiang Yu very well, he would almost think that his nephew had discovered the marriage of his son and daughter that he negotiated with Liu Bang day and night, and his delicate position in it.

Since he was still safe at the moment, but for some reason he was excluded from this battle, the first thing he did was to visit Zhang Liang again to inform him of the emergency.

Xiang Bo was almost heartbroken by the danger Liu Bang was about to face. He originally thought of going there in person, but in order to prevent that old man from secretly sending someone to watch, causing extra troubles, he just "sex" only one of his confidants, and went through the gate to the old Qin Palace overnight.

Liu Bang was sitting face to face with Zhang Liang at the moment, repeatedly deducing the details of how to deal with tomorrow's dangerous Hongmen banquet, but he didn't want to hear the bad news.

"It's true!"

Liu Bang was shocked, and crawled to the front of the secret envoy, ignoring his appearance, clutching the opponent's shoulders and asking repeatedly: "Xiang Yu is really going to break through with a large army in two days?!"

"No lie."

The confidants sent by Xiang Bo were also very nervous. After repeating what Xiang Bo had repeatedly warned, they did not dare to stay any longer and left in a hurry.

Rao was Liu Bang's intention to keep him, and asked more details about the Chu army's dynamics, but because Xiang Bo was also deceived to death, the information obtained was extremely limited.

Therefore, Rao was so eloquent and willing to let go of the air, but he didn't ask anything except the terrible news that the Chu army will enter the border in two days.

"It's over, it's over."

The original Hongmen banquet had already made Liu Bang nervous and worried, but this banquet was no longer necessary, but it was an even more catastrophic disaster!

Even though Liu Bang has always been tough in his temperament, at this moment there is also a sense of grief and anger that "God is going to kill me", especially the fluke and triumph that he thought he had managed to escape the catastrophe had not yet dissipated, and he had a big change on the road. It really made him disheartened.

He fell on the couch and muttered to himself in a daze. Zhang Liang, who was also surprised by the news, calmed down and fell into deep thought.

- Where is the omission?

Zhang Liang's first object of suspicion was Xiang Bo, who was supposed to be more affectionate, but he was more affectionate towards them.

If everything is abnormal, there are demons. Could it be that Xiang Bo was not the stupidity who did not distinguish between public and private, and who reported to the 'righteous' betrayal, but Fan Zeng's infidelity? The purpose is to deceive Liu Bang's trust and go to this Hongmen banquet, which has no return, so that the King of Qin can annihilate the forces of the Han army in one fell swoop.

As we all know, Fan Zeng and Xiang Bo are at odds, but if that's just an illusion...

Zhang Liang shook his head slightly, and quickly rejected the guess.

If Xiang Bo's urgency and frankness that night were really performed by a swordsman, it would be too amazing.

The most important thing is that if Xiang Yu is determined to attack Liu Bang, he will often choose to fight with him in an upright manner, and he will fight against him in an open and upright showdown.

The strength of the two sides is already disparate, and there is a ready-made excuse - the Han army will not let the Chu army enter the Hangu Pass, and the Chu army can launch a crusade against them.

It was really easy for the Chu army to kill the Han army.

Why do you need to do this, and drive the dignified Zuo Yin of Chu State to personally dispatch and go to the Han camp alone?

Even if both sides insist on right and wrong, rushing to annihilate allies, it is inevitable that they will be criticized in righteousness.

However, when the feudal feudal feudalism is imminent, and Liu Bang is less than one person to seal the king, the feudal feudal lords will only be happy to see it succeed, rather than criticize it.

As for Xiang Yu, who only committed atrocities that killed 200,000 former Qin soldiers not long ago, he doesn't seem to care about word of mouth.

After thinking about the whole thing over and over several times, Zhang Liang vaguely sensed that it should be the bloody clothes that Liu Bang added.

However, the incident of Ying Ziying's assassination and cutting off his head suddenly happened, and Xiang Bo came to inform him unexpectedly. The countermeasures that he thought of temporarily, there were more than one omissions, and it was not surprising that Fan Zeng, who had always been afraid of them, had insight.

In any case, remembering the past is no longer helpful. The most urgent task is how to deal with the suppression of the Chu army two days later.

Liu Bang's expression was terrified, like a concubine in mourning. When he thought about it, this matter was no different from a dead end.

After the time when Li Lingzhi was unconscious, he became more and more aware of how stupid what he had done with Zhang Liang's reminders in the past few days: how could the 100,000 Han troops be able to fight against the 400,000 brave and skilled troops led by Xiang Yu? Chu Jun to contend? Not to mention that there are also lords who are eyeing them.

The only way, I am afraid, is to replace the old Qin Imperial Army who surrendered in the Qin Palace with the elites of the Han army while the Chu army has not yet reacted, and then bring the tens of thousands of elite soldiers to flee in the direction of Ba County and Shu County.

Relying on the natural dangers in the Bashu area, it was difficult for chasing troops from outside to enter.

It's just that it's hard for outsiders to get in, and it's hard for you to get out.

In this way, it is tantamount to trapping himself in the backyard of the former Qin Dynasty, and it is difficult to make progress, let alone realize the grand plan and hegemony in his heart.

But after a while, Liu Bang has made a sober decision to only pay attention to the loyal soldiers and leave the others to run away.

After Zhang Liang heard what he said, he was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "When the plan is poor, it is indeed a good way to retreat to Bashu."

With his sharp eyes, he naturally knew that with only one Han army, it was impossible to compete with Xiang Yu, who was majestic and responsive.

What I want to fight for now is to please Xiang Yu, and fortunately, I will get a piece of land that is not too bad in the later division, so that I can accumulate strength, develop allies, and gradually plot it.

Liu Bang's eyes suddenly lit up.

How could he not hear what Zhang Liang meant? It clearly means that the Han army still has a chance to survive!

"Mr. Lao please teach me!"

The situation is urgent, Zhang Liang will not sell anything, but will tell the whole plan, and let Liu Bang immediately start to do two things.

The first is to send an envoy to Pengcheng, the capital of Chu State, to escort King Xin of Chu, who was deliberately ignored and neglected by Xiang Yu because he insisted on fulfilling the agreement of 'the first to enter the gate is the king'.

The second is to send envoys to the Chu camp to deal with them. No matter what the cost, they must delay the opening of Hangu Pass and the passage of the Chu army until the arrival of the King of Chu.

The King of Chu, who was personally supported by the Xiang family, eventually turned against the Xiang family because Xiong Xin was unwilling to be a puppet, and Liu Bang had the opportunity to rise.

In order to maintain power, the King of Chu had to contain Xiang Yu, who was flaming and powerful. Looking at the princes in the world, the most useful candidate was Liu Bang.

There is no doubt that the King of Chu will restrain Xiang Yu and keep the Han army at any cost.

Liu Bang understood this, and while expressing his gratitude to Zhang Liang, he hurriedly summoned his confidants to give instructions on these two important matters.

The plan was carried out, but Zhang Liang was still uneasy.

There are too many variables in his hastily formulated strategy.

The most difficult thing to grasp is the remaining binding force of the King of Chu's heart on Xiang Yu, or Xiang Yu's endurance... How much is left.

If Xiang Yu was "forced" into a hurry, no matter what, even if he openly defied the heart of the King of Chu and wanted to eradicate the Han army, then they really had to take the remnants and flee to Bashu.

At this time, how did Lu Bu know that he 'jammed' his foot in order to get a name vote turned into a huge boulder that plunged into the center of the lake for a moment, completely messing up the layout of many people and causing thousands of waves.

When he slept comfortably in the temporary bunk in the military tent, and was full of energy, only when Liu Bang's Hongmen banquet arrived, did he learn to his surprise that the banquet originally planned for Xinfeng Hongmen had already ended. cancelled!

"No reason!!!" Lu Bu, who was all ready and sharpened his sword, was shocked when he heard the bad news, his eyes widened suddenly, he stood up suddenly, and the dagger fell to the ground with a 'bang'.

However, he didn't even have the heart to care about that little broken sword at the moment, his whole head was about to explode in disbelief!

"Oh my God! How can it be so unreasonable!"

Lu Bu stomped his feet vigorously and roared angrily.

——In the end, was it that Daer Liu's "treacherous" deceitful ancestor was too unbelievable, or was the Grand Historian deceived him? What kind of goddamn bastard was that, who had conscientiously wiped this whole thing out!

Oh motherfucker, what can you do now!

Lu Bu, who had no idea that he was the "desperate bastard", was so sad and angry that he paced up and down excitedly, his mouth full of words like "It's impossible" and "God-killed so-and-so deceives me".

The person who was just fine, after hearing about this irrelevant matter, "exposed" such a desperate look of being without a master and a life without love, until Han Xin, who told him about it, was stunned for a moment. , puzzled.

"...General Xiang is being generous, although he has not yet decided on the reward for his virtuous brother," Han Xin stood at a loss for a while, remembering Lu Bu's appearance when he ate with him that night, and thought he understood. Having figured out the crux of the matter, after thinking about it for a while, he managed to comfort him: "Just a little bit of wine and meat, you just need to speak, and there will be no less."

What's more, in his opinion, even if a banquet was held on time to entertain Liu Bang, with Lu Bu's still unclear identity, he might not be able to stay at the banquet.

Lu Bu's face was numb, he raised his head to the sky and let out a long whistle, and fell to the ground completely motionless.

——What he is thinking about is the wine and meat at the feast of Hongmen! It was clearly the head surnamed Liu!
