Eating people with a soft mouth and short hands, no matter how unhappy he is, there is no way, because of the reason for leading Xiang Kang Chenglu, Mr. Shusun finally reluctantly accepted the task forcibly assigned to him by Xiang Kang, and sent another envoy to the Zhao State military camp to find an opportunity to secretly contact Zhang Ao, the general of Zhao State.

In order to attract Zhang Ao's attention and not to work hard in vain, Xiang Kang also specially arranged a gorgeous float for Mr. Shusun, and sent a guard of honor to beat gongs and drums to send Mr. Shusun out of Hangu Pass, so as to let the Zhao army know as much as possible that the young marshal army had an envoy out of the pass, and came in to contact Chen Yu to negotiate.

Xiang Kang's hand did get the effect that needed to be achieved, Mr. Shusun had just come to the Zhao army camp, Zhang Ao already knew that the young marshal army had a messenger to negotiate, but the side effect was that other important figures such as Sima Wei, Tian An and Liu Laosan also knew this at the same time, and for their own interests, they also rushed to Zhao Jun's Chinese army camp to inquire about the news.

In the face of the successive enemy leaders, Mr. Uncle Sun could only smile all over his face, constantly flattering and flattering with spittle, and slapping everyone's ass desperately, but unfortunately everyone didn't appreciate it at all, and they all just cared about Mr. Uncle Sun's purpose.

Fortunately, Xiang Kang's excuse for Mr. Shusun was very ingenious, fully considering why the young marshal's army sent Mr. Shusun to the enemy camp with great fanfare, so that Mr. Shusun brought a carefully forged confession, falsely claiming that it was Xiang Yu's confidant Zheng Chang had confessed, and described in detail how Xiang Yu was accidentally shot in the neck by a stray arrow on the battlefield of Aocang, and introduced that Xiang Yu's arrow position was almost in the middle of the throat, although Zheng Chang had not yet lost his breath when he set off, but Xiang Yu was speechless, and his mouth was bleeding continuously, Subsequently, the so-called Xiang Yu's orders were all issued by the ill-intentioned Xiang Bo, and only the seals and ribbons were genuine, and the signatures were all forged by Xiang Bo. On this ground, he once again demanded an armistice negotiation with the Zhao army.

In this way, the reason for Mr. Shusun's fanfare to send the envoy is reasonable, that is, to attract the attention of the generals of the Zhao army as much as possible, so that more Zhao generals know that Xiang Yu is seriously injured and there is almost no possibility of rescue, which seems to prove that Xiang Yu is dead from the side, but in fact, it is a further blow to the morale of the Zhao army, and it is also true and false to cover up the true purpose of Mr. Shusun's envoy to Zhao Ying.

In addition, Xiang Kang also dug a hole in the letter to Chen Yu, saying that if Chen Yu was willing to negotiate peace with the young marshal, Mr. Shusun could be his plenipotentiary representative, and he could negotiate on any conditions, hinting that Chen Yu and Mr. Shusun had something to discuss with him alone, so as to create an opportunity for Mr. Shusun to stay in Zhao's camp.

Chen Yu was really fooled, and without Li Zuoche and Liu Laosan pointing out Xiang Kang's sinister intentions, Chen Yu quickly sneered and said: "No wonder Mr. came to make such a big move this time, it turned out that he wanted to use a false confession to shake my military heart, and his intentions were so vicious, is Mr. too much?" ”

"Don't misunderstand, the envoy to your army with great fanfare this time is just to show respect for the general." Mr. Shusun forced a smile and said: "As for the authenticity of the confession, if the general has any doubts, he can send a trustworthy person to accompany him and ask him to question Dr. Zheng Chang and Dr. Zheng in person." ”

Chen Yu rolled his eyes and calculated, and only after a while did he order: "You go down first, and after I have discussed with everyone, I will give you an answer." ”

Mr. Shusun hurriedly agreed, and hurriedly retired temporarily, and Chen Yu also asked Sima Wei, Zhang Ao, Tian An and others who came one after another: "Everyone, what do you think of this confession sent by Xiang Kang's rebellious ministers?" ”

"General, you don't need to look at it to know it's fake." Sima Wei hurriedly said: "Doctor Zheng is in their hands, of course Xiang Kang is a traitor who can say whatever he wants, he deliberately fabricated this false confession, but he just wanted to shake our military morale, and the general must not be fooled by him." ”

Chen Yu nodded, but he was not in a hurry to express his position, Zhang Ao pondered and said: "But General, General Sima, judging from all indications, the fact that the former general of Chu was seriously injured may be true, and we must not firmly believe that this confession is all forged by Xiang Kang's traitors." ”

This is also what Chen Yu is most worried about at the moment, although he did not nod in agreement, his expression was still somewhat worried, Liu Laosan observed his words, and hurriedly stood up and said: "General, in the opinion of foreign ministers, this confession is meaningless whether it is true or not, the most important thing for us at the moment is to break through Hangu Pass as soon as possible, and enter the pass to capture and kill Xiang Kang's traitor." Otherwise, once Xiang Kang and the thief gain a firm foothold in Guanzhong, it will be too late for us to regret it. ”

After that, Liu Laosan, who had no choice but to add, hurriedly added: "Also, we must not fall for Xiang Kang's traitor, he is now forced to sue for peace, because he has an unstable foothold in Guanzhong, the people's hearts are not attached, and he is at the weakest time, if we let him take a breath of breath, let him fight in Guanzhong, and strengthen his strength, he will definitely send troops to take revenge in the future, and Yixue is forced to sue for peace today." ”

"Pei Gong is right." Li Zuoche resolutely stood on Liu Laosan's side and said: "We sent troops to Hanguguan this time, and we have already formed a deep grudge with Xiang Kang's rebels, even if he is forced to sue for peace, he will definitely hold a grudge, and if he has an opportunity in the future, he will definitely send troops to take revenge without hesitation." In this case, we can only seize the opportunity and resolutely attack the Guanzhong to cut down the grass and eradicate him, and eliminate this hidden danger once and for all. ”

Sima Wei also meant this, and also thought that since he had already formed a deep hatred with Xiang Kang, he could not give Xiang Kang a chance to take revenge in the future; In addition, in order to avenge his army, Tian An also tried his best to encourage Chen Yu to take advantage of the fact that the young marshal's army was now in the most dangerous and weak period, and nip the future danger in the bud in advance.

Not to mention, Liu Laosan's warning really played a certain role, considering the possibility of Xiang Kang sending troops to take revenge in the future, Chen Yu, who originally wanted to leave room for negotiation, couldn't help but be a little shaken, and said after thinking: "Everyone is reasonable, then so be it, no matter whether the former general is seriously injured or not, we can't let the tiger return to the mountain, you go down to rest first, I will clearly tell Xiang Kang's traitor's messenger in a while, so that he will die and seek peace." ”

"General, there's no need to waste your strength." Liu Laosan hurriedly said: "It's best for us to cut off the messenger of Xiang Kang's traitor directly with a knife, send his head back to Xiang Kang's traitor, let Xiang Kang's traitor completely die of this heart, and also swear that we and Xiang Kang's traitor are not determined to share the sky." ”

Although Tian An also hated Liu Laosan, considering that the mortal enmity between the Zhao army and the young marshal's army was undoubtedly more beneficial to him, he immediately echoed and said: "Pei Gong's words are reasonable, since we want to refuse, we will simply refuse more thoroughly, and directly kill the messenger of Xiang Kang's traitor, lest he send another envoy to sue for peace." ”

Fortunately, Zhang Ao, who had a different position, resolutely opposed this, and immediately stood up and said: "No! The two countries are fighting each other, and if they don't kill the envoys, our Zhao army is a benevolent and righteous army, how can we do the unjust thing of killing the envoys? ”

Knowing that Zhang Ao was standing in the position of the Zhao Imperial Court against the killing of the envoy, and at the same time, deep down in his heart, Chen Yu, who still had hidden worries, did not want to do things too desperately, so he nodded and said: "The virtuous nephew is right, we are the teachers of benevolence and righteousness, we really can't kill the envoy, let's drive him back, I will let him bring a message to Xiang Kang's traitor, so that he will die and ask for peace." ”

After that, Chen Yu ignored Liu Laosan's persuasion again, forcibly drove everyone away, and then called Mr. Shusun to the front and asked Mr. Shusun what kind of words he brought to Xiang Kang alone. Although Liu Laosan and the others also understood that Chen Yu wanted to leave leeway, they couldn't force it, so they could only retreat according to the order.

Only Zhang Ao did not leave, and stayed outside the Chinese military camp with a heavy heart, and vaguely suspected that the real purpose of Mr. Shusun's envoy this time was actually to contact him again. But it's a pity that after a period of time, although Zhang Ao successfully waited for Mr. Shusun to come out of the Chinese army camp, Mr. Shusun was followed by several of Chen Yu's personal soldiers, and there was no chance to talk to Mr. Shusun alone.

Mr. Uncle Sun is also quite competent, and after seeing Zhang Ao, he immediately blinked like Zhang Ao, signaling that he had something to say. Zhang Ao hesitated, but suddenly had an idea, and hurriedly ordered his own soldiers to bring the war horses, followed Chen Yu's personal soldiers who escorted Mr. Shusun away, and instructed them: "Go back and tell Uncle Chen, just say that for the sake of safety, to prevent people with ulterior motives from harming the messenger on the road, I will personally send Mr. Uncle Sun back to Guguan." ”

Knowing what the relationship between Zhang Ao and Chen Yu was, Chen Yu's personal soldiers did not dare to disobey, and they really handed over Mr. Shusun to Zhang Ao in front of the camp, and asked Zhang Ao to take his personal army to protect Mr. Shusun and return to Hangu Pass, and then go back to report the matter to Chen Yuyu, Chen Yu also said that Zhang Ao was afraid that Liu Laosan and Tian An, who advocated the killing of the envoy, would attack Mr. Shusun and force the Zhao army to the point of fighting with the young marshal's army, not only did not have any doubts, but also nodded and praised Zhang Ao for being careful.

Mr. Shusun finally had a chance to speak alone, and just after he was far away from the Zhao Jun camp, Mr. Shusun immediately whispered to Zhang Ao, who was walking next to him on horseback: "Young General, is it convenient to speak?" ”

"It's all mine, don't worry." Zhang Ao replied expressionlessly.

"The real purpose of this mission is actually to see you." Mr. Shusun hurriedly whispered: "Please forgive the young general, a few days ago with me on the envoy of your army, an entourage suddenly disappeared last night, I am worried that he may tell Chen Yu and betray me and you that night in the stable, so I can only hurry up to tell you." ”

Zhang Ao's face immediately changed, and he hurriedly asked in a low voice, "What does that entourage know?" ”

"Damn it, that guy knows everything." Mr. Shusun pleaded guiltily and said: "On the way back to Hanguguan from Kipshi, I carelessly told the two entourages what I said to you, and the missing entourage knew what I told you. ”

"You! You want to kill me?! ”

If it weren't for the fact that it would probably need the help of the young marshal's army, Zhang Ao would definitely be able to stab Mr. Shusun to death with a spear immediately, Mr. Shusun hurriedly pleaded guilty again, and said: "Fortunately, judging from the current situation, the general should not know about that night, please rest assured, we have tightly sealed Hangu Pass, and we will definitely do our best to find the whereabouts of that rat, and we will definitely not leak the slightest rumor!" ”

After that, Mr. Uncle Sun hurriedly took out the letter written by Xiang Kang to Zhang Ao, Zhang Ao was extremely angry and snatched the letter, hid it in the underwear and flesh, and then said with a more pale face: "After I go back, immediately arrest that rat for me, dare to leak the slightest rumor, and you will be responsible for all the consequences!" ”

Mr. Shusun hurriedly agreed with a smile, and said that if the situation was critical, Zhang Ao could go to Hanguguan at any time to join the young marshal's army, and the young marshal army headed by Xiang Kang would definitely meet him, Zhang Ao did not say a word with a blue face, but sent Mr. Shusun into the defense area of the young marshal army, and immediately returned to the Zhao army camp with his own soldiers.

…………

I must explain that Zhang Ao made an excuse to talk to Mr. Uncle Sun alone was indeed ingenious, and even Chen Yu did not have any suspicions. But it's a pity that Zhang Ao is also a hundred secrets, and forgot to consider a problem, that is, his identity is too prominent, and he personally escorted Mr. Shusun back to Hanguguan with his own soldiers, which soon spread among the armies, and before it got dark, it reached the ears of Liu Laosan, who was most eager for the all-out war between the Zhao army and the young marshal's army.

Needless to say, Liu Laosan's treachery and cunning were just heard about it, and he immediately became vigilant, and said secretly: "It's troublesome, it seems that this little vertical man is absolutely unwilling to take the risk of fighting with the Xiang Kang brothers in the Zhao army, and Lao Tzu must be on guard." Otherwise, if Xiang Yu really loses his breath, and the Zhao army chooses to negotiate peace with the Xiang Kang brothers, Lao Tzu will be in danger of dying immediately! ”

…………

Not to mention Liu Laosan's vigilance against Zhang Ao, but it is said that after Zhang Ao returned to the Zhao army camp, he immediately returned directly to his camp, and immediately invited Guan Gao, who was sent by Zhang Er to help him get his idea, and asked him to read Xiang Kang's letter with him.

The content of Xiang Kang's letter to Zhang Ao is also very simple, that is, it is clearly pointed out that Chen Yu's betrayal of Zhao's self-reliance has been clearly revealed, and Chen Yu will be the first to attack Zhang Ao after doing so, and strongly advise Zhang Ao to act according to Mr. Shusun's advice, first strike to take Chen Yu by force, forcibly regain the military power of the Zhao army, and promise to provide Zhang Ao with all the help he can, and conclude an alliance treaty with Zhao after Zhang Ao succeeds, and provide grain and grass for the Zhao army to withdraw from Shangdang to the country.

After reading Xiang Kang's letter in a hurry, Zhang Ao first burned Xiang Kang's letter with his own hands, and then told Guan Gao about the disappearance of Mr. Uncle Sun's entourage, and asked: "Mr. Guan, do you think I will be in danger?" ”

"Young General, there will definitely be no danger for the time being, if the news has really leaked, the general will definitely not let you escort Xiang Kang's envoy back to Hangu Pass alone today." Guan Gao comforted: "Based on this alone, we can be sure that the general does not know about this matter at present. ”

Zhang Ao breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly asked, "Then in Mr.'s opinion, what should I do now?" ”

After all, it was for Zhang Ao in history, and even Liu Laosan, who had already become the emperor, dared to assassinate the master, Guan Gao only thought for a moment, and quickly said: "Young General, we must quickly make up our minds, Chen Yu Pifu's intention to betray Zhao and establish himself as the king is already very obvious, and the matter between you and your uncle and grandson may leak at any time, if we don't hurry up and strike first, Chen Yu Pifu will take the lead, and we are afraid that we will all die without a place to bury." ”

Zhang Ao hesitated, and only said after a while: "There is no evidence, the teacher is unknown, I am afraid that everyone will not be convinced." ”

"The evidence is easy to handle, just forge a letter that can prove that Chen Yupifu is ready to betray Zhao State." Guan Gao looked solemn and said: "With Xiang Kang sending troops to help, we don't have to worry about everyone disagreeing, the key is that the young general has to make up your mind immediately, if we continue to make decisions, we will definitely only suffer ourselves!" ”

Zhang Ao still hesitated, and after a long time, he didn't dare to say anything, Guan Gao stomped his feet, and said, "Young General, why do you still waste time?" The rumor may leak at any time, once Chen Yupifu is suspicious of you, you will never have any chance, and you will be killed immediately! If you can't make up your mind, the old man will be the master for you! ”

After speaking, Guan Gao immediately rushed out of the tent and ordered loudly, ordering Zhang Ao's personal soldiers to immediately invite Zhao Wu and Uncle Tian and several other Zhang Ao cronies, and directly told them the details of the matter, as a result, Zhao Wu and Uncle Tian and other Zhang Ao's dead friends were also taken aback, and after calming down, they all thought that things had come to this point, and their own side could only take the lead, and they must not waste any more time, and they quickly discussed an idea, planning to deceive Chen Yu and Sima Wei together in the name of banqueting Chen Yu and others, and use the cup as a sign during the banquet. He took them both down, forcibly confiscated their military power, and let Zhang Ao act as the general of Zhao, and concluded an alliance treaty with Xiang Kang to preserve the main army of Zhao.

Things still need Zhang Ao to make a decision, but unfortunately Zhang Ao is obviously not a material to do big things, looking ahead and backward for a long time, no matter how Guan Gao and Zhao Wu and other cronies persuade, they still don't dare to make up their minds, and hesitated for a long time before saying: "Let me think about it again, tomorrow, tomorrow morning, I will give you an answer." ”

also knew that such a major matter was not easy to make a decision, and Guan Gao and others were not too reluctant to Zhang Ao, but just seized the time to make corresponding preparations. But fortunately, no matter how loyal and weak Zhang Ao is, he doesn't dare to be ambiguous in front of life-threatening matters, and he didn't close his eyes for a whole night, because Chen Yu's betrayal intentions are indeed too obvious, and there are rumors that may leak out at any time, for the sake of his own life, Zhang Ao still said to Guan Gao and others with red eyes: "Just do as you say!" ”

Guan Gao and others breathed a sigh of relief, and then Zhao Wu hurriedly said: "Young General, the excuse for the banquet Chen Yu Pifu, we have already thought of it for you, Chen Yu Pifu is not clear about your situation in Daijun, you just said that you took a concubine in Daijun, and received her letter, saying that she gave birth to your eldest son in Daijun, you are happy in your heart, please invite Chen Yu and Sima Wei to come over to celebrate, they will definitely not be suspicious." ”

Zhang Ao nodded casually, and immediately agreed to use this excuse to entertain Chen Yu and Sima Wei, but Zhao Wu was not greedy enough, and said: "Young General, do you want to invite Tian An and Liu Ji together and take them down together?" The conflict between the princes' alliance and Xiang Kang was first provoked by Liu Ji, Xiang Kang hated him to the bone, if he was also taken down and handed over to Xiang Kang, Xiang Kang would definitely be extremely grateful to us. ”

Zhang Aozheng was so nervous that he didn't think much about it, and immediately said: "Anyway, if you want to offend the Chu State, then by the way." ”

Zhao Wu and Uncle Tian and other absolute henchmen of the old Zhang family agreed, and immediately began to arrange the implementation, fortunately, they had already considered all the details before, and had already planned all the action steps, and at the same time, Zhang Ao's army was also formed by him when he was in Daijun, which was quite reliable, so everything was quickly arranged, and the four envoys were also sent quickly, but in order to avoid extraneous complications, they did not dare to immediately send envoys to contact the young marshal army, so that the young marshal army was ready to respond, and planned to send someone to contact Xiang Kang after deceiving Chen Yu and others. Then Zhang Ao didn't think about anything else, and sat in his own tent, patiently just waiting for Chen Yu and others to take the initiative to come to the door and arrest him.

What made Guan Gao and Zhao Wu and other Zhang Ao's cronies overjoyed was that after waiting for a long time, the soldiers outside the tent came in to report, saying that Chen Yu was the first to be invited to the banquet. ”

Zhang Ao didn't have any expression, he just said in his heart: "Uncle Chen, you forced me, if it weren't for the fact that you wanted to use the army of Zhao to lay down the throne for you, I wouldn't do it!" ”

After saying this sentence in his heart, Zhang Ao Huoran stood up, first forced himself to show a happy smile, and instructed Guan Gao and others to immediately send someone to contact Xiang Kang, and then strode out of the account, and only saw Chen Yu from a distance, and immediately saluted Chen Yu with a fist, and said with a smile on his face: "A little thing, with Uncle Lao here, the little nephew is really ashamed and honored." ”

"Virtuous nephews don't have to be polite, what is the relationship between you and me, you have your first son, can I have a reason not to come to congratulate in person?" Chen Yu replied with a smile on his face, and he didn't know that the danger was actually just around the corner......
