Lu Yan didn't mention the news when he heard the news, and said that after Xiang Bo read the silk book, he immediately burned it, and then tidied up his clothes, wanting to meet the overlord in the barracks and tell the story of the two armies' strike.

At this time, in Xiang Yu's camp, Ji Bu Zhoulan was all there, and several people were also discussing the matter of Taigong, hoping to get the greatest benefit from Liu Bang.

The generals discussed before they were decided, and suddenly saw that Xiang Bo couldn't help but be a little surprised, although it was late at night, Xiang Yu didn't dare to slack off, immediately prepared tea, stepped forward and asked: "The old general is here now, isn't there something important in the army?" ”

Xiang Bo also waved his hand, "Before the battle yesterday, the king's anger was difficult to quench, and the old minister was afraid that the king would kill the prince, so wouldn't it be lost Liu Bei's containment, so he came to investigate." ”

"Don't worry, the old general, how could I act so recklessly, just temporarily imprison the prince in the Chu camp, and discuss with the generals how to deal with it." Xiang Yu said slowly.

Xiang Bo took a sip of warm tea and looked at the generals, "Everyone is the humerus of the king, and now the plan of the intersection of Chu and Han is a good way to retreat the Han army?" ”

When everyone heard this, they were all silent, only Ji Bu came out and replied: "Now Liu Taigong is still in the Chu camp, if the king is not a quick battle, put Liu Taigong in front of the battle, and the army is behind, presumably no one in the Han army dares to come forward, acting like this, thinking that the Han army will retreat, if Liu Taigong dies because of it, the cursed person is only Liu Bang alone, and he disregards his wife and children, and forcibly fights with the Chu State, isn't it killing two birds with one stone, but making the morale of our Chu army soar." ”

Ji Bu finished speaking, without waiting for everyone's reaction, Xiang Bo immediately patted the case and said: "It's really nonsense, now the two armies are fighting, how can they force each other with their parents, if the parents of the Chu army are still in the Han camp, the king of Han will learn about this law, and the people in the world will be like this!" ”

Ji Bu was beside him, and he didn't dare to refute at all, "How does the old general think we should retreat from the enemy?" ”

Xiang Bo stroked his beard slightly, "Since the king sent his troops, he has fought several battles with the Han army near Xingyang, and lost more than 30,000 soldiers and soldiers before and after. ”

"Today, the Han troops are outside, and the Chu army is inside, which makes the people here complain of hardship, and the grain and grass still need to be escorted from Pengcheng, the road is tired, the soldiers are tired, and it is difficult to continue to hold the camp."

"The king thinks about it carefully, the king of Han has more than 200,000 soldiers, and our army is only 100,000, the situation, not to mention the second, in case Liu Bang Pifu ignores the prince and forcibly assaults, the Chu army will inevitably be annihilated, so according to the old minister's humble opinion, while the two armies have not yet made great achievements, use Taigong as bait, and make peace with the gap between the king of Han, the king can take the troops back to Pengcheng to recuperate, so that in the future, he will be able to win the Han army in one fell swoop." Xiang Bo said slowly.

Xiang Yu bowed his head slightly when he heard this, thinking that he had always been at war with the Han, the soldiers were short of food, and they had been trapped here for a long time, and it was difficult to win, so why not follow Xiang Bo's words, make peace with the Han, return the army to Pengcheng, and drink and have fun all day long, wouldn't it be beautiful.

"It's just that if you want to make peace, you need envoys from both countries, I am me, don't talk about this matter first, you should let the king of Han send an envoy to come, otherwise you won't make peace with it." Xiang Yu said very seriously.

Xiang Bo didn't know that Xiang Yu was arrogant, and immediately kowtowed and said: "I want to come to the Han army and Ma Jiu in Xingyang, but I also feel that it is not suitable to stay for a long time, the king can wait for three days, if the king of Han does not come to make peace, he will kill the Taigong and sacrifice to the sky, and fight to the death with the Han army!" ”

"According to the old general's words, Zhou Lan and Ji Bu will quickly reorganize their troops, and if they don't retreat, they will fight a decisive battle!" Xiang Yu said with confidence.

So, after Xiang Bo came out of the account, he hurriedly ordered someone to inform Zhang Liang and others, Liu Bang learned of this, and thought that he could go to make peace, so that he could earn back the Taigong, and when the Taigong was safe, he was at war, why not, so he ordered Zhang Liang to draft a document and prepare to make peace with the overlord of Chu.

The next day, the envoy Chen Ping went, Xiang Yu heard that Chen Ping was coming, and he also knew that he should make peace for the king of Han, so he ordered someone to escort Chen Ping up.

When the overlord saw Chen Ping, he pretended to be angry and said: "You are a villain repeatedly, and you dare to be a messenger of the Han Dynasty, stealing my Chu family's money, and you want to come to seek death?" ”

Chen Ping was quite calm, "King Qiyu, a certain is an envoy of the King of Han, and wants to make peace with the king, why is the king obsessed with the past, and now the king is the body of ten thousand times, the lord of the world, a certain is just a Confucian student, the king can't get along with a certain like this, doesn't it make the people of the world laugh at the king, and the amount of gas is narrow?" ”

Xiang Yu nodded slightly, no longer said anything to him, and went straight to the point: "You are here as a messenger, what is the so-called matter?" ”

Chen Ping immediately bowed and saluted: "The minister is here to stop the soldiers of the two countries, become the good of Chu and Han, rest and recuperate, protect the country and the people, not to see the king for nothing, now the king of Han has a book, and please read it." With that, he presented the letter.

Xiang Yu's face was quite happy, took the silk book, read it carefully, and said: "Liu Bang, the king of Han, has seen Xiang Ji, the overlord of Western Chu, and said that the state has heard about the affairs of the world, and has fought to establish a king, all of them are for the people. On the contrary, the world is not stopped, the people are in pain, they can't survive, they are afraid of death, and the people of Yuan Yuan don't know where to go. ”

"The state and the king have competed for several years, and after more than 70 battles, the victory and defeat have been divided, but the white bones have been violent in the wilderness, and the corpses are like mountains, who can bear the heart of parents? Today, the envoy Chen Ping is sent to make peace with the king, hoping that the king will think deeply. ”

"Today, with the chasm as the boundary, the west of the chasm belongs to the Han Dynasty, and the east of the chasm belongs to Chu, each governing its own country, stopping the war, forever maintaining wealth and nobility, and not losing the love of brotherhood, so that the people can enjoy the peace and prosperity without the suffering of war."

Xiang Yu read the letter, and also felt reasonable, and immediately said to Chen Ping: "I originally wanted to fight with the King of Han on a certain day to decide the male and female, but now I look at the book, the King of Han is sincere, so I naturally do not stand with him." ”

"The king is like this, it is a blessing to the people in the world." Chen Ping said excitedly.

"I sent someone to return to the Han camp with you, divide the document into two parts, collect a corner for each, and use it as a certificate, tomorrow before the two armies, I will meet with the king of Han and jointly establish the territory." Xiang Yu said slowly.

Chen Ping didn't dare to say more, and immediately kowtowed and thanked him, Chen Ping returned to the Han camp, and then told Liu Bang everything to listen to, making his heart happy.

"Lord Hou wants to save the prince, and today's plan actually makes the two countries quit the army, which is also a good thing, and tomorrow I will meet the overlord, and I will still return to the good brothers of the day before yesterday, and I don't think I need to work hard to mobilize the people." Liu Bang thought to himself.

At this time, Lu Yan next to him immediately came out and said: "Brother, if you talk about peace today, you must use the return of the prince to the country as the reason, if the prince is still in Chuying, I am afraid that Xiang Yu will repeat it, and the gains outweigh the losses." ”

"Hou Ye's words are very true, this time you must take the Taigong back, otherwise many matters will be wasted." Liu Bang said quite seriously.

Chen Ping next to him also said: "Seeing the overlord today, his face is erratic, presumably he is also suffering from the war, but now he is just taking back the Taigong, presumably he has nothing to say, otherwise how can he stop the army." ”
