Chapter 353: A Game of Chess (2)

The chaos in Guanzhong, Liu + has no time to take care of it.

When he learned of Liu Bang's death, a big stone that weighed on his heart seemed to suddenly disappear without a trace. No matter what Liu Bang's character is, his ability cannot be denied. Being able to rise in the turbulent times of the big waves and sands has proven his ability in itself.

Several blows, several miraculous rises......

You can say that Liu Bang is a small strong man who can't be killed, but you also have to respect his perseverance.

When people die, the grievances and grievances of the past seem to go away with the wind.

In short, the shadow like a mountain has dispersed. The so-called fate has also quietly undergone earth-shaking changes.

What Liu has to do is to settle this endless campaign as soon as possible.

Liu Bang is dead, but Ke Yu is still like a big mountain, lying in front of him, which may bring him a huge threat at any time.

That night, Liu + took 6 Jia and Shusun Tong, who had just arrived in Yang, to Xianyang Heavenly Prison.

There are two large prisons in Xian, among which the heavenly prison is the most heavily guarded. It is not like an ordinary prison, it is located above the ground, but it is hidden deep underground in the west of Xianyang Palace. On the ground, there is an ancestral hall that is more than three zhang high, called the ancestral dragon temple. It is a building similar to an ancestral hall, with gray and black high walls, revealing an eerie and terrifying atmosphere, which makes people stay away.

The First Emperor called himself the Ancestral Dragon. This ancestral hall was also during his reign. It was built by Dr. Yin and Yang Xu City.

Since at the beginning of construction. Xu Shi had already said that the purpose of this ancestral dragon ancestral hall was quite bothered, and he didn't do anything.

Under the ancestral dragon shrine. It's a prison. Also known as the town demon temple.

What it means. All the princes of the world are demons. There is Zulong suppression. Never turn over.

So he was imprisoned in the prison. If you are not rich, you are expensive. Ordinary people don't want to enter. Since the construction of the town demon temple. He has watched the magnates of the six countries. Old Qin rebelled. In a word, the big shots. Don't want to be imprisoned. Can be detained once detained. I don't want to go out.

To this ancestral dragon temple. The First Emperor was still very satisfied.

It took thousands of dollars and countless manpower to hollow out more than 20 zhang underground of the ancestral dragon temple, which can be regarded as meeting the requirements of Yingzheng.

However, the conditions in the prison are not too bad.

Liu + entered the ancestral dragon temple and walked down the deep corridor, only to see the cells one after another, but they were also well decorated.

The official guarding the ancestral dragon temple also introduced: "This cell was once the place where Tian Jian, the king of Qi, was detained; This is where the king of the cell dies......"

Liu nodded as he walked.

"The king is the person you want to meet.

But the other person was detained on the second floor to watch ......"

"He Gong, you and Mr. 6 go down first, talk to old friends here, and then go."

Uncle Sun Tong and 6 Jia bowed down and followed the jailer down.

Liu stopped outside the door of a cell and said softly, "Open the cell!" ”

The door of this cell is made of pig iron and weighs more than 200 catties. Once locked, half a minute from the inside can only be pushed away from the outside. The jailer hurriedly stepped forward and opened the cell. Liu + walked in, and his own soldiers followed the door.

In the cell, it was very bright.

An unkempt strong man, kneeling inside, Liu went in, he didn't move, he didn't even open his eyes.

Liu didn't mind either, and sat down opposite the strong man.

He pondered for a moment and said in a low voice: "Liu Ji, dead!" ”

The strong man's body trembled, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

"Lu has expressed his willingness to surrender...... But I haven't figured out what to do with him. In the past, the old friends of Pei County, Xiahou Ying died, and Zhou Bo had been ordered by me to divide the corpses of the five horses and split the car outside Xianyang City; Zhou Cao was captured and handed over by me to his cousin. ”

Zhou Cao's cousin is Zhou Chang.

The meaning of Liu's words is also to tell the other party: Liu Bang Group has been completely destroyed by me!

"You wonder, why did I want to be cruel to Zhou Bo?

Don Sr. is dead...... died at the hands of Zhou Bo. If I don't kill Zhou Bo, how can Old Tang turn a blind eye?

Tuzi, I think back then, we were in Pei County, whether we were enemies or friends...... I just want to tell you, I can't bear to kill again! ”

"King Tang, are you threatening me?"

The strong man is none other than Fan Xu.

After being captured by Bashang, Fan Xu was thrown into a prison and has been unable to contact the outside world.

And Liu, only at this time, did he take the time to talk to Fan Xu.

"Threat?"

Liu You smiled, "Tuzi, do you think you have anything to be proud of, worthy of me threatening you?" When it comes to bravery, you can't compare to me; When it comes to resourcefulness, you are also very different. Don't say I don't care, even if it's Liu Ji, do you care? Ha, I heard that you have been by Liu Ji's side and have always been his guard. The Battle of Yingchuan, the Battle of Chenjun, and the Battle of Nanyang, you are all watching from the sidelines.

As for the battle of Raushziwuguan, to put it bluntly, it is just that the guards are incompetent.

With a breath of blood and bravery, you can't count yourself as a skill to conquer the martial arts. If I go out of the town and Wuguan, 800 men will be enough to block your 100,000 troops outside the pass...... Hehe, Tuzi, tell me, what is your threat to me besides brute force and being used by others? ”

Liu's words were bitter and harsh.

Since Fan Hao was captured, his heart seems to be like a withered heart, and he has been locked up in a prison all day long, and he doesn't make trouble, but also shouts, like an old monk in a fixed place, waiting for death all day long. He guessed that Liu Bang would fail, but he didn't guess that Liu Bang would die...... After all, he has been with Liu Bang for many years, and he knows Liu Bang's temperament very well. That's a typical dead friend who doesn't die poorly, but I didn't expect it to be because of one

, lost his life.

Listening to Liu+'s words, Fan only felt angry.

"Liu +, you don't want to insult me, although Fan Laozi is useless, he is also a fourth-class official."

Gongshi is the title of Fan Xu.

That means: No matter how unbearable I am, I am also a dignified duke.

After hearing this, Liu + smiled, "Tuzi, the duke, how did he get it?" ”

"That's Fan Laozi taking his life and fighting for ...... I think back then, Fan Laozi was ...... in Henan"

Under Liu Ji's command, Fan Xu often used his achievements in Henan to relieve his depression because he could not be reused. However, his achievements that year were only obtained because of the battle with Liu. In other words, without Liu +, he Fan Tuzi is also a white body.

Liu looked at the red face and muttered no.

And he lowered his head and didn't say a word......

After a long time, + suddenly got up, "Tu Ziming, you are not a waste, follow me...... Tell me when you figure it out. It's a nest to live a lifetime, to work hard, to glorify your ancestors, it's up to you to choose. I won't kill you, after all, I don't want to kill you. If you want to stay, just say it; If you don't want to...... I'll let you go, take care! ”

He turned and walked out of the cell, never looking again.

Today, he and Fan Xu no longer belong to the same level of characters. One is a prisoner under the steps, and the other is the king of Tang who holds Guanzhong and Bashu in Northern Xinjiang, how can he be equal to the land of ten counties? After saying that, how to choose is a matter for Fan Xu. Whether it's an enemy or a friend, it's all in Fan Xu's thoughts. And Liu + will never keep his eyes on him again.

Fan Hao sat in the cell sluggishly, watching Liu leave.

The door of the cell is open, which seems to prove Liu's words: how to choose, he decides.

―――――――――――――――

After leaving the cell, Liu Zhi descended from the corridor to the third floor of the prison.

This town demon shrine has three floors. One floor above ground and two floors underground. Between each layer, there is an iron gate weighing more than 1,000 catties.

Not to mention that the underground guards are strict, even if they rush out, there are soldiers and horses stationed on the ground, which can be described as difficult to fly.

On the third floor, there were only twelve cells, but most of them were empty and uninhabited.

During the reign of the First Emperor, it was the place where the members of the clan were guarded. Perhaps in the eyes of the First Emperor, the calamity of the clan was worse than that of the princes of the Six Kingdoms, so the guards were more tight.

There are 100 Iron Eagle Warriors stationed here.

But now, the Iron Eagle Warrior has become a thing of the past, and Liu has only sent twenty people here.

And the purpose is to detain one person: Zhang Liang!

Shusun Tong and 6 Jia were talking to Zhang Liang, and the atmosphere seemed to be harmonious.

Zhang Liang was captured and was wounded by an arrow at the time, and after being sent to Xianyang, he immediately entered the third layer of this ancestral dragon temple.

After the treatment of the imperial doctor, the arrow wound was no longer in trouble.

Although there is no sunshine here, most of the time, Zhang Liang's days are also moisturized. Naturally, there is no need to worry about eating and drinking, and most of the requirements have been met. Except for not being able to get out of these three layers of prisons, it's basically pretty good.

The reason for this arrangement is also out of a plea from Liu Ju.

Liu Ju negotiated with Liu at the beginning and made a request to Liu: If Liu + catches Zhang Liang in the future, please don't harm his life.

Liu naturally agreed.

On the one hand, it is the entrustment of his brothers, and on the other hand, he also has a trace of fantasy about this Zhang Zifang, who is known in history as seeking saints.

Under Liu, there are now many talents.

Wen has uncles and grandsons, Kuaiche 6 Jia and other people with high intelligence; Wu has a baby and a bell, and even a wading room that can take charge of himself can be good.

However, since the death of his uncle, Liu has one less person around him who can plan the overall situation for him.

Chen Ping can be regarded as one, but now he is outside the Saiwai, responsible for drawing the entire situation outside the Saiwai for Liu, and he can't be transferred for a while.

After thinking about it, only this Zhang Liang can take on the heavy responsibility.

However, can Zhang Liang be convinced?

Liu wasn't sure. But he also knew that Zhang Liang was a smart person, although he had a deep hatred for Lao Qin, he did have real talent and learning. Just looking at him in a short period of time, he helped Liu Bangxun to seek the three counties, and his talent should not be underestimated.

Watching Liu Bang's ups and downs, there will be a very interesting thing.

When Zhang Liang was by his side, he easily gained a firm foothold in Surabaya County, holding the land of the four counties, and he was also a hero; But as soon as Zhang Liang left, Liu Bang was immediately taken by Liu to Pei County. Then, the outlaw Langya Donghai, under the command of Xiang Liang, was even more unwilling.

But after Zhang Liang returned to him, he rose quickly, and even attacked Guanzhong......

As for the defeat of Guanzhong, to put it bluntly, it was not Zhang Liang's plan that was problematic, it was really an accident. If Liu + had not rushed thousands of miles at that time, or had failed to attack decisively after showing the situation of dominating the enemy, Liu Bang would probably have defeated the Qin army and won the victory.

To put it bluntly, Zhang Liang's defeat in Guanzhong was not a defeat to others, but a defeat to heaven.

If you insist on saying who Zhang Liang lost to, it is not Liu, but the deceased uncle.

Therefore, when Liu walked into the cell, he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive. I don't know if I can convince Zhang Liang to surrender?
