Following Xiang Yu's southern and northern wars for many years, and won Xiang Yu's trust and love, he was responsible for the most abundant grain and grass military management work for a long time, Xiang You has of course seen a lot of precious jewelry, but no matter how many jewels Xiang You has seen, he has never seen such a precious pearl, the diameter is absolutely one inch, pure white and flawless, Xiang Kang casually opened the wooden box containing this pearl, as if the moonlight of the pearl also reflected Xiang Kang's ugly face.

"Brother, a little bit of my brother's heart, the things in the palace of Emperor Hu Hai of the Tyrannical Qin, although they are not as famous as Suihou Zhu and the He's Bi, but they are not much worse, I know that you like these things, and you specially selected them for you, so don't refuse. In addition, there is this, which is my filial piety to Uncle Ji, please take it back with you. ”

Speaking very casually, Xiang Kang casually opened another wooden box, revealing a jade ring with a green and crystal cloud pattern, and said: "In the past, the things in King Zhao's palace fell into the hands of Emperor Tyranny Qin after the Tyranny Qin destroyed Zhao, originally I wanted to have the opportunity to return it to Zhao Xie, thinking that instead of cheap outsiders, it is better to take this opportunity to honor Uncle Ji." ”

Xiang You's halazi almost didn't flow out, and he hurriedly pretended to politely excuse himself, but Xiang Kang insisted on letting Xiang You take it away, and also understood that this was what Xiang You and Xiang Boxiang Master deserved, and hinted that there would be more generous rewards in the future, Xiang You accepted it with a thousand thanks, and couldn't wait to hold it in his hand.

Of course, the matter is not over, after personally giving two priceless treasures to Xiang You, Xiang Kang instructed again: "Brother, there is one thing that must ask you and Uncle Ji for help, today and tomorrow, I will send an envoy to contact our brother, take the initiative to ask for the resumption of peace talks, and will also ask Brother to send enough important ministers of Western Chu to negotiate with my younger brother in person, and at that time, I will also ask Uncle Ji and Brother You to help, and I must persuade Brother Xiang Yu to let Father Ya come forward to negotiate with my younger brother." ”

"Let Ya's father come and negotiate with you?" Xiang You was puzzled, and asked curiously, "Brother, why did you name Yafu to negotiate with you?" ”

"The messenger I sent will not directly name the Father." Xiang Kang shook his head and said, "My envoy will only ask Brother Xiang Yu to send enough important ministers of Western Chu to negotiate, and when the time comes, I will ask Brother and Uncle Ji to help, and I must let Brother Yafu negotiate with me on behalf of Brother Xiang Yu." As for the reason, it's inconvenient for me to explain now, brother, and you'll know it later, brother. ”

Knowing that this thing must be extraordinary, Xiang You patted his chest and promised to do his best to do this for Xiang Kang, Xiang Kang was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly thanked Xiang You again, and then surrendered his identity and personally sent Xiang You out of the Han army camp, so that Xiang You could return to the Western Chu army camp in the darkness before dawn, and go to Master Xiang Boxiang, who risked stealing Uncle Zhou's letter to him.

Needless to say, after sneakily returning to the camp of the Western Chu Army, Xiang You of course rushed to the Chinese army tent of the Western Chu Army as soon as possible, and reported to Xiang Yu and Old Man Fan and others who were looking forward to the process of his surrender, in addition to truthfully explaining the detailed process after meeting Xiang Kang, he also took the rare initiative to hand over the generous gifts that Xiang Kang gave to himself and Xiang Bo, so that Xiang Yu decided how to deal with it.

Fortunately, although Xiang Yu is notoriously stingy with rewards, he has always been generous to the members of the Xiang family, although he is also a little red-eyed, but he still pretends to be chic and rewards the pearl of the Qin Palace and the jade ring of the Zhao Palace to Xiang Bo and Xiang You's father and son as rewards. At the same time, Xiang Yu was of course very strange, Xiang Kang asked Old Man Fan to negotiate with him face-to-face, and said suspiciously: "What tricks is Xiang Kang, a traitor, playing, why do you want to name Yafu to negotiate with him?" ”

"Of course that traitor will not have any good intentions."

Old man Fan snorted coldly, although he couldn't guess the real reason why Xiang Kang wanted to let him negotiate with him face-to-face, he immediately understood that Xiang Kang must have bad intentions when he did this. Then after just a little calculation, Old Man Fan said to Xiang Yu again: "King, we have already done everything that should be done, and then it depends on whether Xiang Kang's traitor will really fall for the scheme, and whether we can succeed in plotting against Uncle Zhou." Next, we have to calm down, we can't rush to let Xiang Kang's traitors see the flaws, we can only wait for the news on the other side of the land to act again. ”

"What if the thief sends someone to ask for negotiations?" Xiang Yu asked, "To talk or not to talk?" Do you want to work hard, Father, you will personally go to the Han thief camp for a trip? ”

"Of course not." Old man Fan said without thinking about it: "Only if we bluff and deliberately refuse to reopen negotiations with the Han thief, that traitor Xiang Kang will think that we are fearless, and will be more suspicious that Uncle Zhou's puppet is really ready to establish himself as the king in Qidi, and then as long as he takes action against Uncle Zhou's puppet, we have a greater hope of really plotting against Uncle Zhou's puppet and completely reversing the situation in the world." ”

When Xiang Yu nodded slowly, Kuaiche also said: "Xiang Kang's traitor gave Zhu Ji Shi Pifu a secret edict, we must immediately find a way to let Uncle Zhou know, as long as Uncle Zhou is suspicious and secretly finds out that there is such a thing, even if he doesn't want to rebel, he will definitely shake his position." ”

Xiang Yu hurriedly nodded again, and Master Xiang Boxiang next to him hurriedly interjected and said: "This matter must be done confidential, and we must not let other thieves know, otherwise in addition to the big things that may damage us, the matter of the old man and You'er's deception will also be immediately discovered by Xiang Kang's traitors, although the old man and You'er are not afraid, but we will no longer have a way to do such a thing for the king in the future." ”

"Are you afraid that Xiang Kang's traitors will find out and hate you, and they will not fulfill their promise to make you the Marquis of Heyong?"

Old Man Fan and Kui Che snorted coldly in their hearts together, but they didn't bother to break Master Xiang's true intentions, Xiang Yu didn't have such a wit, in addition to nodding in agreement, he also quickly accepted another request made by Master Xiang - when the Han army envoy came to ask for the resumption of negotiations, Master Xiang was allowed to pretend to persuade himself to accept, and he also persuaded himself to send Old Man Fan as an envoy to negotiate with Xiang Kang in person with the Han army camp.

Xiang Kang is also a straightforward person, just the next morning, Xiang Kang sent an envoy to the camp to visit Xiang Yu, under the pretext of unwilling to continue to kill each other, took the initiative to ask for peace talks with the Western Chu army, and also said that as long as Xiang Yu promised to hand over Liu Laosan, the culprit of the Hanguguan incident, and his comrades to the Han army, the land city and Xiang Yu's abdication can be discussed, and at the same time, Xiang Yu really asked Xiang Yu to send enough Western Chu troops to the camp to negotiate with Xiang Kang personally, so as to prove the sincerity of the Western Chu army's peace talks.

As agreed before, during this period, Master Xiang Boxiang also tried his best to persuade Xiang Yu to accept the negotiation, and also suggested that Xiang Yu send Fan Laotou, the No. 2 person in the Western Chu Army, to negotiate with Xiang Kang face-to-face, and try his best to end the protracted Chu-Han War by means of negotiation. In the end, he was persuaded by Master Xiang Boxiang, and Xiang Yu also scolded Master Xiang in public for the first time, which forced Master Xiang Boxiang to stop his mouth, and then ordered to directly drive the Han army envoy out of the Western Chu army camp.

Or after the Han army envoy was kicked out of the camp, Xiang Yucai sat down with Fan Laotou and others to discuss Xiang Kang's intentions, for Xiang Kang took the initiative to ask for a resumption of negotiations, Fan Laotou and Kuaiche The two strategists were not surprised, knowing that Xiang Kang was looking for an excuse to test the truth of the Western Chu Army, and judging the authenticity of Uncle Zhou's letter through Xiang Yu's reaction, but for Xiang Kang secretly asked Master Xiang to urge Fan Laotou to send an envoy to the Han camp, Fan Laotou and Kuaiche couldn't guess the reason.

Old Man Fan and Kui Che couldn't figure out this question, and Master Xiang Boxiang, whose IQ was far inferior to them, was of course even more incomprehensible, but after Xiang Yu, Old Man Fan and others decided to ignore this problem, when they started to help Xiang Yu act in military affairs again, Master Xiang Boxiang, who was reused by Xiang Yu and was responsible for supervising the civil and military affairs of the Western Chu Army, suddenly thought of a possibility and said secretly: "Could it be so?" Xiang Kang, the little traitor, asked Fan Zeng to negotiate with him face-to-face, could it be that he wanted to pry open the mouth of this old puppet and take the opportunity to know the truth from him? ”

Treating others with himself, and considering that Old Man Fan was the first young marshal army who went to Pengcheng to defect, and he had a relationship with Xiang Kang for a period of time, he also helped Xiang Kang to embarrass himself more than once when he was under Xiang Liang's account......

It turned out that Master Xiang was definitely not worrying about nothing, just on the afternoon of the second day when Xiang Yu refused to resume negotiations, he sent to secretly spy on Old Man Fan's eyeliner and hurriedly reported it, saying that there was a man dressed as a common man, claiming to be an old man who knew Old Man Fan, and ran to the gate of the camp of the Western Chu Army to ask to see Old Man Fan, and the soldiers of Western Chu guarding the gate of the camp had already passed the word to Old Man Fan on his behalf. Master Xiang didn't dare to slack off when he heard the report, just thought about it a little, and then hurried to Old Man Fan's camp to check the situation.

It was also a coincidence that when Master Xiang rushed to the door of Old Man Fan's tent, he met Old Man Fan's guards and escorted a man dressed as a common man out of the camp with kicks and beatings, and then immediately after, Old Man Fan also strode out of the camp with a letter on his face. Who is this man? How did you put him like this? ”

"Old decay is a trick!" Old man Fan replied very directly, and said with a blushing face: "The old man was careless for a while, and he was fooled into meeting the messenger sent by this Xiang Kang traitor, and also read the letter of the Xiang Kang traitor he brought, so it is difficult for the old man to explain clearly!" ”

"He's a messenger from Xiang Kang's traitorous faction?" Master Xiang pretended to be surprised and pointed at the man dressed as a common man, and hurriedly asked, "Father, what does that Kang traitor's letter say?" ”

Knowing that Xiang Yu would definitely let Xiang Bo read Xiang Kang's letter, Old Man Fan did not hesitate, and immediately handed the letter to Master Xiang, when Master Xiang took it and read it carefully, he saw that the letter was written by Xiang Kang himself, and it was also stamped with Xiang Kang's seal of the King of Han.

The most important thing is that at the end of the letter, at the end of the letter, Xiang Kang not only directly asked Old Man Fan to explain the truth of Uncle Zhou's letter, but also mentioned a few words about Pengcheng Liu Bang very casually, and also solemnly thanked Old Man Fan for Pengcheng Liu Bang's matter, saying that he would definitely repay Old Man Fan in the future.

After carefully reading Xiang Kang's letter, Master Xiang of course asked very strangely: "Father, can you ask what happened to Pengcheng Liu Bang mentioned by Xiang Kang's traitor?" ”

"How does the old man know?" Old Man Fan's temper was not very good, but under the extreme anger, Old Man Fan of course roared like thunder, "Such a simple discord plan, can't you Master Xiang see it?" Xiang Kang's traitor made a trick and fabricated a matter of Pengcheng Liu Bang, making it clear that he wanted to make our king suspicious, suspect that the old man had done something sorry for him, and make the king suspicious of the old man! ”

"And!" Old Man Fan was indeed powerful, and he quickly guessed another fact, and pointed at Master Xiang Boxiang and shouted, "Why did you come so quickly and so coincidentally? Did he secretly send someone to keep an eye on the old man, so Xiang Kang's traitor just sent someone to contact the old man, and you will know immediately? ”

"Father's words are too much." Master Xiang hurriedly denied it and said, "Even if you have the courage to do so, you don't dare to send someone to spy on you." ”

"Don't come to this set, who is your Master Xiang Boxiang, the old man knows better than anyone else!"

Old man Fan roared loudly and rushed quickly to Xiang Yu's tent of the Chinese army marshal, Old Man Fan suddenly woke up again, and roared even more: "Understood!" This matter was a trap arranged for the old man from the very beginning! First of all, he deliberately named the old man to go to the Han thief camp to negotiate with him Xiang Kang traitor face-to-face, if the old man went to the scheme, he couldn't tell a hundred mouths clearly! The old man didn't fall for it, so he sent someone to pretend to blackmail the old man, forcing the old man to betray the king, and also made the old man unable to speak clearly with a hundred mouths! Xiang Kang traitor, you are so vicious! ”

Not only did Old Man Fan see through Xiang Kang's vicious intentions, but so did Kui Che, when the secret envoy of the Han army was escorted to the Chinese army tent of the Western Chu Army, Kui Che, who rushed to hear the news, just knew what had happened, and after reading Xiang Kang's ghostly letter, Kui Che immediately bowed his hand to Xiang Yu and said: "King, this is Xiang Kang's traitor's plan, our divisive plan has already been seen through by him, he deliberately did not reveal it, just to use this opportunity to frame Ya Father, to separate the relationship between the monarch and the minister of our Western Chu Army, so that the king and Ya Father are suspicious of each other, Facilitate his next move. ”

If it weren't for Xiang Yu's trust in Old Man Fan very much, then needless to say, Old Man Fan would definitely follow in the footsteps of countless colleagues and become another important minister of the Western Chu Army who was framed to death by Xiang Kang, and thanks to Xiang Yu's current trust in Old Man Fan, Xiang Yu finally accepted Old Man Fan and Kui Che's explanation, and chose to execute the messenger of the Han Army, and also stated that he absolutely trusted Old Man Fan, so that Old Man Fan didn't have to take this matter to heart.

Having said that, just by seeing the forced smile on Xiang Yu's face, Old Man Fan and Kui Che understood that this matter must not be over, and they had to lament in their hearts: "With Xiang Kang's traitor's vicious methods, there must be a follow-up to this matter, and whether or not Xiang Kang's traitor's tricks can be resolved, you can only resign yourself to fate." ”

After sighing helplessly, Kui Che suddenly felt a little chill in his heart, and said secretly: "Father Ya is so loyal to the king, Xiang Kang traitor can still try his best to make the king suspicious of him at any cost." If Xiang Kang's traitor also looked at me unpleasantly that day and pointed the finger at me, then I would not have to die without a place to be buried? ”
