Volume 9 Han Ji I (2)

Pei Gong took wine as his longevity, about marriage, and said: "I am entering the customs today, and I dare not get close to it in autumn, and I will seal the treasury and wait for the general to come." The reason why the generals are stationed at the gate is to guard against thieves elsewhere and to prevent extraordinary things from happening. In the next day and night, looking forward to the arrival of the general, where can there be any objection? I hope that Xiang Boduo will pay more respects to the general and explain the original intention of the subordinates who dare not oppose it. ”

Xiang Bo promised and said to Pei Gong: "You must come early tomorrow to thank the general." ”

Pei Gong said, "Okay. Tomorrow I will definitely go to the general to apologize. ”

So Xiang Bo rushed back to Xiang Yu's army overnight to see Xiang Yu. And said Pei Gong's words to Xiang Yu. And therefore said to Xiang Yu: "If it wasn't for Pei Gong to break through the pass first, how would the general dare to enter the pass?" It is unjust for a man to attack him now when he has done great deeds. It is better to treat him well because of it. Xiang Yu promised.

On the second day, Pei Gong rode from more than 100 to Hongmen to see Xiang Yu. And thanked and said: "The minister and the general attacked Qin together, the general fought in Hebei, and the minister fought in Henan." I didn't expect to be able to enter the customs first and break Qin. I was able to see the general here again. Now there must be villains' words, which have separated the general and the ministers,"

Xiang Yu said: "It was said by the general's Zuo Sima Cao Wuxian, he said that you will raise troops to guard the pass, from Wang Guanzhong." That's why I'm like that. ”

Xiang Yu drank alcohol because of Liupei. Fan Zeng gestured to Xiang Yu many times, and raised the jade trick he was wearing on his body to signal many times. Hope Xiang Yu ordered to kill Pei Gong. Xiang Yu was silent and refused to give orders.

Fan Zeng stood up and summoned Xiang Zhuang to him and said, "The king is kind and unbearable. You go and pretend to be longevity, and after the end of your life, you ask for a sword dance to cheer up. took the opportunity to assassinate Pei Gong Yu with a sword. Otherwise, we will all be captives of this man. "Xiang Zhuang received the order, and entered for longevity. Shoubi said: "There is no joy in the army, and I ask for sword dancing to help the fun." ”

Xiang Yu said, "Okay." Xiang Zhuang drew his sword and danced. Xiang Bo also drew his sword and danced, often using his body to inflict on Pei Gong. Therefore, Xiang Zhuang's assassination could not succeed. So Zhang Liang went out of the army to see Fan Xu. Fan Hao said, "How is today's matter? ”

Zhang Liang said: "Now that Xiang Zhuang is drawing his sword and dancing, his intention is to assassinate Pei Gong. ”

Fan Hao said: "It seems that the matter is urgent. Please go in and join him. After saying that, he entered with a sword and a shield. The guards tried to stop him, but Fan hit him with his shield, and the guards fell to the ground. And he entered into the tent. Angry, he looked directly at Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu knelt down with his sword and said, "What is this guest doing?" ”

Zhang Liang said: "He is Pei Gong's attendant Fan Xu. ”

Xiang Yu said; "What a strong man, give him a glass of wine."

So they gave him a large cup. Fan thanked him, stood up and raised his glass to drink.

Xiang Yu said: "Give him another pig's leg." "Just give him a pig's leg. Fan Xu put the shield on the ground, put the pig's leg on it, drew his sword and cut it to eat. Xiang Yu said: "Strong man, can you still drink?" ”

Fan Xu said: "The minister will not refrain from death, how can he refrain from a glass of wine?" The Qin people have the heart of a tiger and a wolf, killing people like hemp, and punishing countless people. All the people of the world betrayed him. King Huai made a contract with the generals that the one who broke through Qin and entered Xianyang first would be king. Today, Pei Gong first broke Qin into Xianyang. I didn't dare to take anything. Return the army to the hegemony, waiting for the general to come. The hard work is so high, not only did he not have the slightest reward, but he listened to the words of the villain and wanted to punish the meritorious people, which was the follow-up road to the death of Qin. The petty minister steals for the general not to take. ”

Xiang Yu had no words to answer, but said, "Strong man, please take a seat." ”

Fan Hao sat down next to Zhang Liang. After sitting for a while, Pei Gong got up to go to the toilet. Because of the recruitment, Fan went out together. Pei Gong said: "We haven't resigned yet, what should we do?" ”

Fan Xu said: "Now that people are knives, I am fish and meat, what are you doing with your resignation?" So he went.

Hongmen is forty miles away from Bashang. Pei Gong rode alone, Fan Xu, Xiahou Ying, Jin Qiang, Ji Xin and other four people walked with swords and shields, from Li Mountain, detoured to Zhiyang, and rushed back to Bashang. Only Zhang Liang was left to apologize to Xiang Yu. And dedicated to Xiang Yu with white bib, and a pair of jade buckets to Fan Zeng, the father. Pei Gong said to Zhang Liang: "From this road, it is less than twenty miles back to our army. I guess I'm back in the army, so you can go in and thank you. ”

Pei Gong has gone and returned to the army. Zhang Liang went in to thank him and said: "Pei Gong is too strong to drink, so he can't thank him in person." I would like to make the minister Zhang Liang present a pair of white bibs, and then worship the general's feet. A pair of jade buckets, and worship the feet of the father. ”

Xiang Yu said: "Where is Pei Gong now? ”

Zhang Liang said: "Pei Gong heard that the general intended to supervise, and he has already escaped and left alone, so he should be in the army at this moment." Xiang Yu accepted the white wall and placed it next to his seat. Fan Zeng, the father, took the jade bucket and put it on the ground. Draw your sword and break it, saying; "Alas. The loser is not enough to seek great things. The one who seizes the world of generals must be Pei Gong. We are now his captives. ”

Pei Gong returned to the army and immediately killed Cao Wuxian.

A few days later, Xiang Yu led his troops to slaughter Xianyang. Kill the prince of Qin. Burn down the palace of the Qin Dynasty. The fire remained unextinguished for three months. Collect their treasures and go east. Qin Min was disappointed.

Han Sheng said to Xiang Yu: "Guanzhong blocks mountains and rivers, it is a land of four stops, the land is fertile, and you can dominate the capital." ”

I wanted to meet that most of the palaces of the Qin Dynasty were burned and destroyed, and I thought about returning to the east, so I said: "If you don't return to your hometown, it's like walking at night in gorgeous clothes, who knows?" ”

Han Sheng whispered when he withdrew: "People say that the people of Chu are crowned by monkeys, I don't believe it yet, but now it seems that this is indeed the case." ”

After Xiang Yu heard about it, he cooked and killed Han Sheng.
