The Conqueror Isn’t Alone

Lu Bu dragged Han Xin to the front of the tent, but he didn't rush in.

After eavesdropping openly for a while, he realized that Xiang Bo's food was also in it, and it probably ruined his business.

Xiang Bo's fellow has been haunting Xiang Yu's side recently, and apparently he still has his heart for the Han army, thinking of dealing with Liu Bang.

Lu Bu curled his lips in displeasure.

He pondered, Xiang Yu's lack of heart eyes that day should have grown into the eyeballs, otherwise where did the double pupils come from?

Only in this way can he be so stupid that he can't see the big traitor hiding beside him.

Complaints are complaints, he still decided to wait.

After all, although I came here with the purpose of smearing the soles of my feet after revenge for the murder of Liu Bang, Han Xin still had to continue to hang around in the army.

He can speak rudely, and even fight violently in a fit of anger. He offended people severely and then ran away.

But Xiang Bo can continue to be proud of his status as a relative, so he can't cheat Han Xin, a cheap guy.

It was rare for Lu Bu to be kind, and he didn't take care to explain clearly. He just dragged Han Xin who was confused and wandered around. He slipped into the account with Han Xin.

Hearing the movement of them opening the curtain, Xiang Yu, who had already noticed the footsteps of the two, raised his eyes indifferently, and asked impatiently: "What's the matter?"

He was tall and burly, and he was wearing a war robe at this time. His extremely mighty figure was pulled out from behind by the bright candlelight, making him even more majestic and awe-inspiring.

Anyone who has made a military plan and is determined to take down the enemy who underestimates him, but is arbitrarily held in his hands by a puppet king who looks down on him even more, will be in an extremely bad mood, and he is always high-spirited Xiang Yu.

Lv Bu was not afraid of his unhappy appearance, before that Uncle Xiang came back, he said angrily, "Return to the general, I have something to offer!"

"..."

Xiang Yu looked puzzled, but he didn't say a word of attack, he only nodded suspiciously.

He admired Lu Bu's excellent skill in entering the palace alone and assassinating Ying Ziying, but he didn't expect that the other party was still a wise general who could plan and plan?

This lifetime of curiosity really made him a little bit interested in listening carefully.

Unexpectedly, after Lu Bu got his consent, he took half a step back, and returned all the words to Han Xin, saying: he did not make that strategy, and he is not a person who wants to take the limelight from others, so he will never take Han Xin away. planning.

Seeing that Han Xin, who always loves to negotiate on paper, plays tricks on his lips, and when he charged into the battle, he was indifferent to everyone, and his qualifications were not ordinary, and he was making suggestions. Xiang Yu suddenly lost interest.

He drooped his eyelids slightly, and watched Han Xin's mouth open and close absently. After a while, he seemed to be done, and nodded slightly: "I already know, you can just step back."

This cold response has already announced the result of this proposal.

Even though Han Xin had long given up his expectations, his heart sank.

However, due to too many times, he had become used to it. After the little disappointment that could not be restrained, he quickly restrained his emotions and calmly withdrew together with Lu Bu.

What surprised Han Xin was Lu Bu's indifferent reaction.

He was in a trance, wondering what he was thinking about, and when he caught Han Xin's probing eyes from the corner of his eye, he suddenly came back to his senses and looked over.

The pair of recruits were full of energy and determined to "force" people, how could they be discouraged or annoyed at all if they couldn't make any suggestions?

Lu Bu misunderstood the reason why Han Xin was staring at him. He held back for a while, and tried to comfort him: "Brother Han, don't be discouraged. Even if the general doesn't plan, I may not sit still and wait for death."

He really didn't take this little defeat to heart.

After all, in his opinion, Xiang Yu had such an eye-catching start as Yuan Benchu's smooth start, but in the end he ended up committing suicide in Wujiang. Apart from being really unlucky, his brain is probably not very smart.

Now it seems that it is so.

——It's a pity that he has superb martial arts skills, but his head is just a fool.

Tut tut.

Lu Bu showed a smile full of pity.

——After all, although he occasionally insists on going his own way, most of the time, he still listens to the counselor's opinion.

It doesn't matter.

Since the Overlord of Western Chu is so stupid as to refuse to listen, he can do what he wants.

Whether it was fleeing from Luoyang, the eastern capital, or leaving Yuan Benchu ​​in the middle of the night, it was a kind of mysterious and mysterious wild intuition that urged Lu Bu to suddenly abandon everything or change his decision for no reason.

It's a pity that this kind of intuition is accurate, but the number of times it appears is very small.

But every time it appears, it can save his life in such a crisis.

It just so happened that Lu Bu developed a similar, hazy intuition at this time... When the King of Chu's heart came, it was time for him to "do his own thing".

But Xiang Bo, who took the initiative to send the Chu king's envoy out of the camp, was excluded from the plan of pretending to be Wang Zhao by the suspicious opponent even though he was devoted to his in-law Liu Bang, who had not yet been seen, and was completely kept in the dark.

He didn't know that the king's envoy was pretending to be the Han army, but he was happy for the timely arrival of the other party from the bottom of his heart: with the king of Chu's heart to reconcile, even if his temper burst like Xiang Yu, it was impossible to openly ignore it, and he could only follow the instructions in the imperial edict. Said, stay on hold for the time being.

It's not too far from Pengcheng to Xinfeng. If the king is already on the way at this time, he should arrive in another four or five days.

Fan Zeng, who heard about it later, was extremely dissatisfied with this, but he never thought that the Han army would be so bold in order to save themselves.

God, falsified the king's edict to stabilize the Chu army, only to repeat the old tricks of the Chu king who has always been biased towards the Han army, and forcibly interfere with this. Overjoyed, he once again canceled the plan to conquer the Han army this time, and waited for the arrival of the King of Chu.

Among the Chu army, except for Lv Bu who deliberately used this matter to carry out his own plans, only two of them guessed the true details of the envoy of the king of Chu.

One is Han Xin, who offers advice and is not used, and the other is Chen Ping, who is one of Xiang Yu's staff and is in the position of minister.

I don't know why, Chen Ping also kept silent, as if he didn't notice, he only cared about his own low-level schedule, even quite leisurely.

In contrast, Lu Bu was much busier.

He has been observing in secret these days, he is both rare and envious: even though Xiang Yu suddenly decided to go to the expedition twice, and the two times it was ignored, and somehow mixed with the Chu army who had two full meals before the expedition, the atmosphere was not the slightest It has never been loose, and there has not even been a voice of doubt.

It must be known that the Chu army assembled under Xiang Yu at this time has a total of 400,000 soldiers, and the most elite 100,000 soldiers include the soldiers from Jiangdong who followed Xiang Yu across the river. If they were the only ones who always had strict military discipline, regarded the main general Xiang Yu as the only support, and obeyed completely, Lu Bu would not be surprised—just like when he first heard the rebel army, he immediately rushed to the most trusted Gaofuyi Camp.

But the remaining 300,000 soldiers who were incorporated into the Chu army in the later period were convinced that Xiang Yu was respected as the god of the army, which seemed inconceivable.

It stands to reason that the more people there are, the more chaotic they become, and the more difficult it is to maintain military discipline. This Overlord of Western Chu is indeed amazing, but how did he manage to attract so many people to follow him wholeheartedly through repeated stupid tricks?

Xiang Yu, who was worried about the increasingly arrogant King of Chu, naturally had no way of knowing that one of the halberd-handlers who occasionally appeared in front of him was attentively observing his every move, trying to dig out the mystery.

In the strange atmosphere where the lower ranks of the Chu army were full of foolishness and the upper ranks were full of subtlety, the King of Chu finally arrived at Xinfeng.

Frightened and frightened for the first two days, Liu Bang, who saw the Chu army still quietly and without any movement, finally dared to believe that Zhang Liang's plan had worked.

Xiang borrowed that stupid thing, and was really deceived!

He breathed out the breath he had held for two days and waited a few days later, watching Chu Wangxin's car drive into the Chu camp from afar. It's really safe.

He grabbed Zhang Liang's hand and said gratefully: "It's thanks to Mr.'s ingenious plan that he used Xiang to play tricks on that reckless man, and saved the lives of 100,000 people in our army under the Chu army's Tie Qi!"

Zhang Liang's face was not really relaxed, he smiled wryly after hearing this, "Thank you for not daring to be a general, besides, it's difficult right now, it can't be considered a solution."

Liu Bang's heart was raised again in an instant, and he turned pale and said, "Why is this!"

"The presence of the King of Chu can at most make Xiang Yu a little bit afraid, so that he can't kill the general." Zhang Liang analyzed calmly: "However, Xiang Yu's military exploits are so great and his reputation is world-famous. It has already been very small. Based on these alone, the general wants to force Xiang Yu to abide by the agreement of "the first to enter the pass".

Having just experienced the fear of recklessly provoking Xiang Yu and incurring the wrath of the other party's thunder, Liu Bang, who is concerned, does not dare to be superior and inferior at this moment, and pretend to be the king of Guanzhong by relying on the promise of King Huai.

He sighed for a while, and said with pain: "It is indeed as what Master said, when King Huai arrives, I will open the Hangu Pass and give up the land in the pass."

Since you can't keep it, it's better to hand it over, at least it will look better.

Zhang Liang nodded slightly: "As long as the general backs down a little bit, and the king of Chu makes peace with him and appeases Xiang Yu, then in the subsequent enfeoffment, the general's fiefdom will not be as far away as the Bashu area." You can also go to the place where your family is. This piece of fertile soil, on the grounds of seeking reunion, might be able to get Xiang Yu's approval.

When the Han camp plotted against Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu was in the Chu camp, facing the so-called lord who had an arrogant look on his face and ordered him around as soon as he came.

He was indifferent on the face, but his mood was not as disturbed as before, but a cruel killing intent after making up his mind was ignited.

Although King Xin of Chu was on the main seat and Xiang Yu was on the second seat, from anyone's point of view, Xiang Yu was a person who completely surpassed the king and held great power.

Xiang Yu really never took the so-called King of Chu seriously.

Chu Xiongxin, the king of Chu, was just an ignorant cowherd at the beginning, but he was full of great ambitions. Instead of being satisfied with being a banner used by them to call up soldiers, he turned against delusion to rule and started to unload the burden. The dream of killing donkeys, crossing rivers and demolishing bridges.

It's really ridiculous, if there was no Xiang family in the past, who would still remember the noble lineage of a cowherd boy, and who would take it seriously?

Apart from the ignorant king of Chu, who surrounded him and spoke nonsense to him, which one was not appointed by Xiang Shi?

When King Xin of Chu gave orders to Xiang Yu but never got a response, he felt that he couldn't bear it, and felt that he was alone in the tent with an inexplicably quiet tiger, and that he was in a very dangerous situation.

So he resolutely put down the request of "after entering the customs, he will have a banquet in the Qin Palace, apologize to Pei Gong, and resolve the rift", and then left the tent, and left slowly surrounded by guards.

Xiang Yu didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, until Uncle Xiang, who had been waiting outside for a long time and hadn't received an order, couldn't bear it anymore and took the initiative to go in to inquire, then he said lightly: "In accordance with the king's wishes, send an envoy to ask Na Peigong to prepare a banquet." .”

Even though he is extremely insensitive to politics, he is very clear that the reason why the king of Chu requested this ridiculous banquet was nothing more than to make him face

The noodles were torn open, thrown to the ground and stomped on, and he also gave Liu Bang a prestige by the way.

It was supposed to be rude to refuse Liu Bang, who was outside Hangu Pass, to come to the Chu camp for a banquet and explain it himself, but at the request of the king of Chu, it became absurd that Xiang Yu treated his allies arrogantly and had to "apology" to the other party.

If you can't bear it, you don't need to give up.

A trace of bloodthirsty prey flowed out of Xuanyi's heavy pupils.

——Let him be proud of this last time.
