Chapter 318 Before the Hongmen Banquet

Hongmen, a famous armor soldier holding a long ge, is patrolling, here is the camp of Xiang Yu Chu army, stationed more than 300,000 troops under Xiang Yu, the army is camped for dozens of miles, the camp is full of flags, and the sound of soldiers killing is shocking.

Liu Bang came to Hongmen with several generals under his command, looking at the company camp in the distance, with an unwilling look on his face, why did Xiang Yu set up a banquet, of course Liu Bang would not know, but Liu Bang finally got the opportunity to be crowned king, how could he be willing to give it up like this.

"Lord, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, Xiang Yu is powerful, we can't be an enemy of it."

Beside Liu Bang, a middle-aged Confucian student whispered, this person has a resolute face, is about forty years old, and the light flashes in his eyes from time to time, which makes people dare not despise him, this person is a Confucian disciple, Zhang Liang.

At this time, Zhang Liang is over forty years old, and he has long since lost his youthful and elegant appearance, but the only thing that remains unchanged is his eyes, which are still full of brilliance, making people dare not look directly.

Liu Bang sighed: "Ofan, I also know that we can't afford to provoke Xiang Yu, but Emperor Yi made an oath that whoever enters the customs first will be the king, and he Xiang Yu can't violate Emperor Yi's agreement." ”

Zhang Liang shook his head and said: "Xiang Yu has ambitions, he is definitely not a person who has lived under the people for a long time, the righteous emperor, he can't suppress Xiang Yu, and now we can only slowly develop our strength in order to compete with Xiang Yu in the future." ”

Fan Xu, who was behind Liu Bang, patted his chest and said, "Big brother, don't worry, with Fan Xu, even if that Xiang Yu wants to harm you, I can escort you out." ”

Zhang Liang looked at Fan Hao and shook his head, this Fan Hao has a good relationship with Liu Bang, and often does some things that violate military discipline, but this person's loyalty to Liu Bang is very appreciated by Zhang Liang, but unfortunately, his brain is not good enough.

Seeing Zhang Liang shaking his head at him, Fan Hao couldn't help but shout: "What's the military advisor, do you think what I said is wrong?" ”

Zhang Liang smiled and said: "General Fan naturally has the courage of ten thousand people, but it is a pity that that feather power can be crowned, and the force is unparalleled, if the general is against him, I am afraid it will be difficult to match." ”

Fan Xu snorted dissatisfiedly: "You raise the morale of others, extinguish my prestige, you wait, one day, I will let you know who is the first in the world." ”

In Hongmen Village, Xiang Yugao sat on the main seat, this time the banquet was held, not only to invite Liu Bang alone, but also to the rest of the anti-kings, all of them were also on Xiang Yu's invitation list, now that the tyrannical Qin has been destroyed, it is time to discuss how to divide the fruits of victory.

Wei Bao, Zhao Xie, Zhang Er and others successively came to Hongmen with soldiers and horses, participated in the banquet, looked at Xiang Yu who was sitting on the main seat, and the three of them glanced at each other, and their eyes showed gloom.

The situation is stronger than people, today's Xiang Yu has countless elite soldiers and generals, and they, the descendants of the six royal families, have lost their troops all the way, and their strength has been greatly reduced, if it weren't for Xiang Yu's rescue, I'm afraid they would have died in Julu a long time ago, where can they be compared with Xiang Yu.

In addition to the three of them, Tian Qi, Han Guang and others also acquiesced to Xiang Yu's status, seeing this situation, the corners of Xiang Yu's mouth couldn't help but show a look of pride.

Yingbu came to Xiang Yu's side, bowed his head and said something, after Xiang Yu heard this, his face became a little ugly, he waved his hand, signaled Yingbu to retreat, and then looked at everyone and said: "Pei Gong Liu Bang has arrived, everyone, this time Liu Bang has made a great contribution, the first to enter Guanzhong, according to the will of Emperor Yi, this Pei Gong, will be King Pei in the future." ”

Everyone looked at each other, not understanding what Xiang Yu meant when he said this, at this moment, Wei Bao's heart moved, got up and said: "Wei Bao thought otherwise, although Liu Bang was the first to enter Guanzhong, but that was because we dragged him the main force of the Qin army, especially General Xiang, if it wasn't for General Xiang who dragged Xu Gui's army, he Liu Bang, where would he have the opportunity to step into Guanzhong half a step, so Wei Bao thought that although Liu Bang entered Guanzhong first, this credit should belong to General Xiang." ”

As soon as Wei Bao's words came out, Han Guang, Zhang Er and others secretly scolded Wei Bao's sycophants, but they had to echo the peace, Xiang Yu saw this, his face softened slightly, and said: "The one who enters the customs first is the king, after all, this is the oath made by the righteous emperor and the leaders of all walks of life, how dare Xiang Yu break it, everyone, let's take a look at our Pei Gong first, Yu Zi Period, you wait for me to welcome Pei Gong." ”

Yu Ziqi received the order, got up and left, and went to meet Liu Bang.

After a while, Liu Bang walked into the banquet hall with Fan Xu, Zhang Liang and others, watching Liu Bang enter, the leaders of the rebel army from all walks of life had different faces, but their eyes were full of gloating expressions, they knew that Liu Bang had robbed Xiang Yu of the credit, with Xiang Yu's temper, today Liu Bang was afraid that he would inevitably suffer some difficulties, and even lose his life.

Liu Bang came to Xiang Yu, bowed, and said, "General Xiang, Liu Bang is polite." ”

Xiang Yu nodded and said, "Why is Pei Gong late? ”

Liu Bang was slightly stunned, only then did he realize that the leaders of the rebels from all walks of life had arrived, and he, Liu Bang, was actually the last.

Liu Bang hurriedly explained: "General Xiang, I am busy sorting out Xianyang's household registration, so I am late, please don't blame you." ”

Xiang Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? Pei Gong really has a lot of opportunities. ”

Liu Bang heard that Xiang Yu's tone was wrong, and hurriedly explained: "General Xiang, I sorted out the household registration in order to be able to hand over to the general, although I was lucky to enter the customs first, but Liu Bang knew that this credit belonged to General Xiang, so he didn't dare to take credit, just because he was worried that the rebellious army would take the opportunity to plunder the Xianyang treasury, so he garrisoned Xianyang, and when the generals arrived, I immediately withdrew from Xianyang." ”

Liu Bang's words made Xiang Yu a little surprised, he looked at Liu Bang's face carefully, and found that Liu Bang's face was sincere, not like a fake, and he couldn't help but believe Liu Bang's words a little in his heart.

Xiang Yu motioned for Liu Bang and the others to take a seat, and said, "Okay, since Pei Gong is so well aware of righteousness, then General Ben will thank Pei Gong for guarding Xianyang for me, come, come to the table." ”

Liu Bang thanked Xiang Yu, sat on the seat arranged by Xiang Yu, and quietly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.

Outside the camp, Zhong Liyi led five hundred sword and axe men to stand by, and just waited for the cup to be broken in the camp, he immediately led the knife and axe men to kill and chop Liu Bang into meat sauce.

"General Zhongli, General Zhongli."

An old man with a white beard walked towards Zhong Liyi, Zhong Liyi looked at the old man, frowning, the person who came was Xiang Bo, Xiang Yu's uncle, and Xiang Liang's brother.

Xiang Bo looked at the sword and axe hand lying next to him, and exclaimed, "General Zhongli, what are you going to do here?" ”

Although Zhong Liyi didn't like Xiang Bo, Xiang Bo was Xiang Yu's uncle after all, and Zhong Liyi couldn't help but give Xiang Bo face, so he could only tell Xiang Bo about his order to ambush Liu Bang.

When Xiang Bo heard this, he shouted: "Confused, you are trapping Yu'er in an unkind and unrighteous place, no, you can't mess around, immediately disperse for the old man, the old man will go to see Yu'er now, don't let him do such a foolish thing." ”
