The palace maid who was pointed at by Liu Bang just now, she thought that she was favored by Liu Bang and asked her to stay with her, and boldly said: "King Han, slave maid tonight..."

"Get out... Get out of here..."

As soon as the palace maid was halfway through her words, Liu Bang roared angrily, and the palace maid and the musicians hurriedly went out.

This sudden change made the courtiers who were still smiling busy putting away their smiles.

The master was angry, the scene was silent, everyone looked at Liu Bang, it must be bad news, Liu Bang will be angry like this.

After a while, Zhang Liang broke the silence and asked, "King Han, I don't know what happened?" ”

Liu Bang looked very depressed and said, "The ovary and Chen Ping stay, and the others retreat." ”

The courtiers quickly departed.

Liu Bang stood up from his seat and gave the cloth to the two of them.

Looking at the content on the cloth, Chen Ping was slightly surprised, but Zhang Liang was not too surprised.

Liu Bang's face was expressionless, and he said, "Do you believe that there are spies from Zhao in Xingyang?" ”

Chen Ping said: "We have spies in Xiangguo, and other countries can also have spies in Xingyang, which is normal. However, Zhao Xie couldn't even know what the three of us had said. ”

Zhang Liang continued: "Zhao Xie's move is similar to Gao Ming. This is first of all analysis, people who have a certain strategy can see that this is the strategy of the King of Han, Chen Ping knows the people inside the Chu camp, and he is the most likely to buy the generals of the Chu camp; The second is the countermeasure, this move made by Zhao Guo is just the opposite of our strategy. The minister felt that it would not be too likely for Xiang Yu to insist on attacking Zhao again, but to prevent him from turning his anger on us, and to prevent him from attacking Xingyang after withdrawing his troops. ”

Liu Bang agreed with the words of the two and sighed: "It's a pity, such a good strategy was cracked like this." Zhao Xie said that he had Haotian God to help, and he really had such a divine call! ”

Zhang Liang felt that Zhao Xie was not simple, but it was a pity that he started too late, if he started at the same time as the King of Han, and officially took power when he returned to the country and had such ability, then it would be Zhao Xie who is competing with Xiang Yu for the world now, not the King of Han.

Chen Ping said: "King Han, the minister believes that while Xiang Yu has not withdrawn his troops, he needs to prepare as soon as possible. If Xiang Yu attacked with all his might, Xingyang would be difficult to hold, and the minister suggested retreating to Luoyang. ”

Xingyang is the dividing line of the two terrains, the east of Xingyang belongs to the plain, the west of Xingyang belongs to the mountains and hills, Luoyang is more conducive to defense than Xingyang, and the surrounding area is mountainous, you can use the terrain to intercept the Chu army layer by layer.

Zhang Liangdao: "The minister seconded the proposal, but it is not appropriate to completely give up Xingyang, you need to send someone to hold on, at least to delay Xiang Yu's offensive." ”

Liu Bang pointed at Chen Ping and said: "This is all your good plan first, otherwise why do you need to do this?" spent so much money, but instead summoned Xiang Yu to attack more fiercely! ”

He blamed Chen Ping, lost his wife and broke his army, although the strategy itself was very good, but in the end it failed.

Chen Ping knelt down and said with sincere fear: "King Han, the minister is dedicated to you!" ”

Zhang Liang said: "King Han, Chen Ping is also for you to give advice, and his intentions are good." ”

Liu Bang didn't blame Chen Ping and adopted the suggestions of the two.

——————

On the south bank of the Zhangshui River, the Chu army camp.

"Report to King Xiang, there is a small boat on the other side, heading south!"

Xiang Yu, who was irritable, received the report, and was surprised, walked out of the camp tent and came to the shore.

I saw that in the small boat on the river, one person was rowing, and the other was dressed in regular clothes, without any weapons and armor, and there was a bag on the boat.

When the boat reached the center of the river, the man said loudly, "King Xiang, King Zhao has something to tell you." ”

Xiang Yu didn't release the arrow, but wanted to see what Zhao Xie had to say.

The boat was sent to the south bank, and the man landed on the shore with the bag, and came to Xiang Yu under the leadership of Chu Bing, and then put the bag down.

Zhao Bing said: "King Xiang, this is a gift from King Zhao to you, please take a look." ”

Chu Bing took out the paper in the bag, and was very surprised, not knowing what it was.

Xiang Yu took the paper and looked at it, this thing is very peculiar, I have never seen it, Zhao Xie claimed to have Haotian God to help, could it be that Haotian God gave it to him?

He asked, "What is this?" ”

Chu Bing replied: "King Xiang, this thing is called 'paper', it can be used to write, and it can also be used to wipe your butt in the toilet, this bag of paper was given to you by King Zhao, this is what King Zhao wants to tell you, I hope you can reply." ”

He then took out the bamboo tube.

Xiang Yu took the bamboo slip and opened it, only to see that it was a rolled piece of paper, and when he took it out, it was a text written in the small seal of the Qin State.

"King Xiang, Liu Bang, this bastard wants to take away my Zhao Kingdom, and he can't capture it for a while, so he uses such a trick against you. If Liu Bang is not destroyed, I Zhao Xie will not be a man. I don't know if you hate Liu Bang? ”

Zhao Xie did not mention the contradiction between the two first, but first mentioned the common enemy.

Xiang Yu ordered someone to prepare pen and ink, brought it to the desk, picked up a piece of paper, and wrote on the desk, also using a small seal to write.

After the restoration of the state of Chu at the end of the Qin Dynasty, the national script of the Warring States period was also restored. After the unification of the six countries of Qin, the unification of the written language, the Qin state ruled the world for more than ten years, and most of the upper-class nobles of the original six eastern countries knew how to make small seals, which facilitated the exchanges between the vassal states.

Xiang Yu took up the pen and wrote: "Liu Ji, this thief, is very hateful, I will arrest and cook it." You claim to be my equal, it's also hateful, are you guilty? ”

Writing on the paper, he felt fresh, and wrote again: "Where did this paper come from? ”

After writing, roll it up and put it on the bamboo slips and let Zhao Bing take it back.

It is much more convenient to use paper than to use bamboo slips, and Xiang Yu is full of curiosity about this new thing.

Zhao Bing boarded the boat again, and the boatman rowed across the river.

Zhao Ying on the north bank, Zhao Xie is waiting for news here, he wants to negotiate with Xiang Yu, but it is impossible to negotiate face-to-face, fortunately, the armies of the two sides are only separated by a river, and it is convenient to pass on the news.

"Report to the king, Xiang Yu has replied!"

The soldier who crossed the river to deliver the letter returned, and after Zhao Xie read the contents, he immediately left the camp and came to the north bank of the river.

Looking across the river, looking at Xiang Yu next to the big river, he was obviously a lot taller than the generals next to him, even across the Zhangshui River, he could feel Xiang Yu's majesty and majesty.

Originally, Zhao Xie had met Liu Bang, when Xiang Liang supported King Chu Huai, and all the princes had met King Chu Huai together.

Liu Bang is much older, and his force value is 108,000 miles behind, but such a person is much more difficult to deal with than Xiang Yu.

Zhao Xie immediately wrote the content again and ordered someone to send it over.

Xiang Yu opened the paper and looked at it, which read: "King Xiang, if I don't establish my prestige, I can't make the soldiers and people of Zhao surrender, this is for self-preservation, please forgive me, many reforms later, in order to have the ability to defeat Liu Bang." I have no intention of being an enemy of you, Liu Bang is the enemy of Zhao State, in a few months, I will have a big war with Liu Bang, and I will also catch Liu Bang to cook it. King Xiang, Liu Bang is also your enemy, don't let me get ahead of you, cook Liu Bang first, you won't even be as good as me Zhao Xie! ”
