Two hundred and thirty, Hongmen Banquet
Listening to Liu Sick's three consecutive questions, Zhang Pengzu said with a smile: "Don't worry, please listen to me slowly; At this time, there was also a situation on the side of the overlord of Chu, that is, Xiang Yu's uncle Xiang Bo, who was an old friend of Liuhou Zhang Liang, when he heard that Xiang Yu wanted to kill Gaozu, he was afraid that his old friend Liuhou Zhang Liang would be in danger, so he ran to tell Liuhou about it, and invited Liuhou to escape with him; After hearing this, Liuhou said to Xiang Bo, I still have an unfinished mission, and I must not leave my master like this, and then Liuhou made a great decision to report the news that Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, wanted to get rid of him to Gaozu. ”
Hearing this, Liu Ying hurriedly clapped his hands and praised: "Liuhou is really a loyal minister, a sincere and loyal!" ”
Zhang Pengzu continued: "Yes, he not only told Gao Zu about the matter, but also helped Gao Zu plan how to deal with Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu; Liuhou Zhang Liang was not surprised, he also invited Xiang Bo to come in to meet Gaozu, at first Xiang Bo refused to see him, Liuhou said that if you don't see me, I will die, and then Xiang Bo couldn't help it, and he was very worried about the safety of Liuhou, so he agreed to go in to see Gaozu; Gaozu is also very wise, as soon as he saw Xiang Bo, he was close to him, invited him to drink and frequently toasted him, and also said that he wanted to marry Xiang Bo's children and relatives, of course, he also stated that he had not committed any crimes since he entered the customs, and he was a citizen and a treasurer, just to wait for General Xiang Yu to preside over the overall situation; In the end, Gaozu also begged Xiang Bo to go back and persuade Xiang Yu not to beat him, Xiang Bo agreed on the spot, but asked Gaozu to go to Hongmen very early the next day to plead guilty, not too late, if Xiang Yu's army is late, it will be over. ”
At this time, Du Tuo hurriedly said: "This is the place where we are sitting now, and the banquet should be held here at that time, what is it called the Hongmen Banquet." ”
At this time, Liu Yi had already remembered, and hurriedly said loudly: "I remember, when I was a child, under the big tree in the Xishi Market, the people who listened to the story saw it and remembered it, but there are still many details in it that I have forgotten, Peng Zu, you continue to talk about it." ”
Zhang Pengzu smiled again and said: "After that Xiang Bo went back to the camp, he immediately told Xiang Yu that he had gone to the camp of our Han army, and told Xiang Yu the original words of Gaozu word by word, and also said that if you kill Gaozu, then you are in breach of contract, after Gaozu defeated Guanzhong and Qiu did not commit any crimes, he is meritorious, we should not kill meritorious people; Xiang Yu also felt that it made sense when he heard it, so he agreed not to kill Gaozu. ”
"It seems that Xiang Yu still listens to Uncle Xiang's words."
Du Tuo said with a smile, and Zhang Pengzu also continued: "Early the next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Gao Zu took more than 100 people and horses, and hurriedly set off to Xinfeng Hongmen, which is the road we took this morning; But when Gaozu saw Xiang Yu, he immediately told him that this was the case. The minister and the general, with the same goal in life, the general fought in Hebei, and I fought in Henan. I swear I never thought that I would actually enter the customs and break the Qin first, and I can meet the general here, but I hate that there are villains who sow discord and make the general and me have a misunderstanding; So Xiang Yu said to Gao Zu that it was Cao Wuxian who sowed discord, it's nothing, let's go to the banquet together. ”
Du Tuo hurriedly said: "The Hongmen banquet has begun. ”
Zhang Pengzu nodded and smiled: "Yes, it will start immediately; During the banquet, Xiang Yu's dog-headed soldier Fan Zeng repeatedly sent secret messages to hint at Xiang Yu, asking him to take this opportunity to get rid of Gaozu, but Xiang Yu has been silent, so Fan Zeng was in a hurry, walked out of the big tent, and found Xiang Yu's younger brother Xiang Zhuang; He said to Xiang Zhuang, your eldest brother Xiang Yu can't bear to kill his enemy, that is, Gaozu, and now I need you to pretend to go in and perform a sword dance to cheer up, and then take the opportunity to stab Gaozu to death; Xiang Zhuang was ordered to take the sword into the tent, and said to Xiang Yu that he was coming to toast and dance the sword to cheer up, Xiang Yu agreed to his request and let Xiang Zhuang dance the sword. ”
Liu Yi had heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Xiang Zhuang is dancing the sword, do you want to wait for the opportunity to kill Gaozu?" ”
Zhang Pengzu said with a smile: "It's still sick and smart, you can see it, Gaozu and Liuhou must also see it, even Xiang Bo can see it, at this time, Xiang Bo actually said that he also wants to dance the sword, and the purpose of his sword dance is to protect Gaozu from being killed by Xiang Zhuang; At this time, Zhang Liang, the marquis, also ran out of the tent to move the rescue soldiers, that is, the later general Fan Xu, who was waiting outside; As soon as Fan Hao heard that someone wanted to kill Gao Zu, he was so angry that he rushed into the tent, and the guards did not let him in, so he slammed his shield into it; After entering, he glared at Xiang Yu viciously with his eyes, Xiang Yu was also a little defensive, so he asked him who was coming, and after Liuhou explained clearly, Xiang Yu took a bucket of wine to Fan Hao to drink, and asked a big pork leg to come over for Fan Hao to eat, but Fan Hao killed him; After Fan Hao finished eating, he loudly reprimanded Xiang Yu, saying that King Qin was cruel, we originally supported King Huai, the contract was who advanced Xianyang and who was the king, and now it is Pei Gong who broke Qin first and entered Xianyang, everything is intact, just wait for King Xiang to come, send the general to guard the pass, in order to deal with the riots, Pei Gong worked hard to do it, but King Xiang actually listened to people to sow discord, and wanted to kill the meritorious ministers, this is not to overthrow the tyrannical Qin, and inherit the tyrannical Qin? ”
"Well said, well said!"
Hearing this, Liu Yi was busy clapping his hands and applauding, and said, "How did Gaozu slip away later?" ”
Zhang Pengzu continued: "Xiang Yu was reprimanded by Fan Yu and was speechless, so ashamed that he couldn't say anything; At this time, the witty Gaozu hurriedly used the excuse of a small solution to flow out, and Fan Xu saw Gaozu running out of the tent, and he would follow him out willingly, but the two of them immediately slipped away, leaving the Hou there to deal with Xiang Yu and them. ”
"Haha, Gao Zu is too powerful."
Du Tuo also laughed happily.
Liu Ai has asked, "Then how does the Marquis of Liuhou deal with them?" ”
"That's the case, Xiang Yu saw that Gao Zu and Fan Xu had been out for so long and didn't come back, so he asked Liuhou, and Liuhou had to tell Xiang Yu truthfully, Gaozu had returned in advance, and when he left, he also sent some meeting gifts to you, so he gave the gift to Xiang Yu; Xiang Yu didn't dare to do anything to Liuhou, but his dog-headed military fan was sick and had a seizure, haha. ”
"Hahaha..."
The three teenagers just laughed.
Liu Ai asked again: "These founding heroes were later made marquis, and their descendants don't seem to have heard of it." ”
Du Tuo shook his head and said: "Fan Xu later achieved official positions such as general and Zuo Cheng, and was also named Marquis of Wuyang, but unfortunately his grandson was robbed of the marquis; Liuhou Zhang Liang is also, although he is named Liuhou, but he is not an official, he comes to live in seclusion, and his descendants are not marquis. ”
Liu Yi nodded and said: "I have heard of the descendants of Liuhou, when I was in the hospital, the two apprentices of Uncle Gongsun, I heard them say that they were the disciples of Zhang Wuyu, the great-grandson of Liuhou, and the descendants of Liuhou are also in seclusion, but unfortunately, their ancestors are all founding heroes." ”
