Chapter 123 Speaking of the city
When Xiang Yu heard that the military advisor let him attack Xianyang directly, he immediately replied: "Military advisor, Zhang Han killed my uncle." Yu'er has a grudge against him! I vow to defeat Zhang Han and avenge my uncle!! ”
As soon as Fan Zeng heard that Xiang Yu was unwilling to enter Xianyang in Guanzhong first, he hurriedly said: "General, if Liu Bang enters Xianyang first, he will be in opposition to our army." At that time, if the righteous emperor and the king of Chu divide him as king, how can we win the world again? ”
"The eldest husband was born in troubled times, and only by holding a sword to establish immortal feats can this life be in vain! Just one throne, just take it back. Xiang Yu didn't seem to care about the throne.
Fan Zeng was annoyed and anxious at this time. Because of his advanced age, he was angry in his chest, and he was slightly exhausted.
Xiang Yu and Long looked at each other and hurriedly stepped forward to help. Looking at Fan Zeng, who was having difficulty breathing, Xiang Yu said with guilt: "Military advisor, you have followed my uncle for many years and have always taken good care of your children. I also know that you have high expectations for me. You carry as much weight in your son's mind as your uncle. Today, please let your son call you a father! Ask my father to become a complete son, so that I can avenge my uncle! ”
Hearing Xiang Yu call himself his father, Fan Zeng was excited and left tears. He tried to calm his emotions, and at the same time, he strengthened his confidence in assisting Xiang Yu to win the world.
"Since you value me so much, I will do my best to help you accomplish your great cause. Tomorrow you will go straight to the big tent of Song Yi and denounce his crimes in front of the generals. Then falsely spread the will of Emperor Yi and immediately behead him! The head was then sent to Emperor Yi. At that time, Emperor Yi will definitely make you a general, and you can lead the whole army to face Zhang Han! ”
Hearing that Fan Zeng had agreed to his revenge, Xiang Yu immediately helped Fan Zeng back to his seat to rest.
In the early morning of the second day, Song Yizheng had a hangover with the generals and guests. Suddenly, Xiang Yu broke into the big tent with a sword, and everyone saw it. Suddenly woke up for seven minutes.
Xiang Yujian pointed at Song Yi Xiangjian, and then loudly reprimanded: "Today, I am suffering from the violent Qin, and the people are not happy. The soldiers and civilians of Zhao State have been besieged by the giant deer for a long time, but you are here all day long to have fun and drill for personal gain! Do you know that the officers and men of the army are now hungry, and you have a feast here every day? You thief. Could it be that I am the minister of the Chu State! Today, I am ordered by Emperor Yi to kill you, a traitor! After speaking, he cut off Song Yi's head with a sword.
Poor Song Yi was the champion of Qingzi for only a few dozen days, and he died in Huangquan. Even when he died, he never had a chance to plead his case.
When the generals saw Xiang Yu kill Song Yi, they didn't dare to speak. When Xiang Yu looked around at everyone, they spoke in unison and denounced Song Yi's rebellious behavior.
Xiang Yu then sent Song Yi's head to Emperor Yi, and at the same time ordered Yingbu to lead an army of 20,000 to cross the river first. to explore the reality of the Qin army. The army was ready to go, waiting for the will of the righteous emperor.
After Emperor Yi saw Song Yi's letter with Xiang Yu, he was shocked. Although he was unwilling, the situation made him have to reuse Xiang Yu. Emperor Yi then issued a decree to seal Xiang Yu as a general, lead the whole army, and rescue Zhao State. At the same time, all the princes are invited to help.
Han Shu and Lu Zhi were taking care of King Han in South Korea, and although King Han had woken up at this time, he was still recuperating. Han Shu and Lu Zhi never waited for the Lu Pheasant sisters. But I waited for Emperor Yi's letter.
After King Han read the letter and told the second daughter, Zhi'er asked worriedly, "Sister." Emperor Yi invited the princes to help each other and fight the Julu Qin army together. But your father is still sick, what can I do? “
After Han Shu was silent for a long time, she turned to King Han and said, "Father, let me go to Julu on your behalf." “
When King Han heard this, he immediately said urgently: "No." Last time, you took advantage of my coma and pretended to break through and be trapped, and it was already heartbreaking for my father. How can you be put in danger now? "Father, this time the rebels from all walks of life gathered, I don't think there will be any danger, if only we don't go to Korea. Wouldn't it become the target of public criticism, and let others laugh at our South Korea's fear of the Qin army. The daughter has made up her mind and is willing to lead the troops to Julu. “
Without waiting for King Han to answer, Zhi'er rushed first: "Sister, I will accompany you, whether you agree or not, I will go." Now that my husband is in prison, you are my only relative. We are all together in life and death. “
Looking at the stubborn Lu Zhi, Han Shu had to smile and nodded. King Han saw that she and the two of them had made up their minds, so he was helpless, but he asked Shu'er to take ninety percent of the military strength to make sure that everything was perfect, otherwise he would have to go out in person.
Han Shu had no choice but to compromise in the end.
The next day, Han Shu ordered Wang Fang to gather his troops and horses, and then set off towards the giant deer.
Liu Bang was stationed outside Chen Liucheng at this time, and he did not find the sage mentioned by Zhang Liang for several days.
Suddenly, one day, a Confucian scholar came to the camp alone and asked to see Liu Bang. The sergeant saw that he was good-looking, and he spoke well. He didn't dare to slack off, and hurried to Tongyu.
After the sergeant entered the account, he said to Liu Bang: "Qi Pei Gong, there is a Confucian student outside the camp who asks to see him." “
Liu Bangzheng was annoyed that he didn't find the person Zhang Liang said, and when he heard the sergeant's advice, he immediately said angrily: "Bullshit Confucianism, Lao Tzu hates Confucianism the most, take off his hat and give me a night pot!" “
When Xiao He heard this, he hurriedly dissuaded: "Pei Gong, have you forgotten what the ovary said?" Maybe this person has a talent for saving the world? “
Without waiting for Liu Bang's command, Xiao He turned to the sergeant and said, "You go and ask that gentleman, what is his name?" Why do you want to see Pei Gong?"
The sergeant was ordered to go out.
The person who asked to see was Li Shiqi, who was helped by Zhang Xian that day, and he remembered Zhang Liang's words. Hearing that Liu Bang was here, he came to meet him.
When he was young, the sergeant returned and asked Xiao He's question.
Li Shiqi only remembered Zhang Liang's recommendation and introduction at this time, and immediately replied with a smile: "You go and tell Pei Gong, just say that I am just a Gaoyang drunkard!" ”
After listening to the other man's words, the sergeant immediately returned. Liu Bang saw that the sergeant was going and returning so quickly, so he asked, "Have you asked clearly?" What is it called? ”
The sergeant clenched his fists and replied: "Qi Peigong, that Confucian student calls himself a Gaoyang drunkard. ”
As soon as Liu Bang heard the words Gaoyang drunkard, he immediately jumped up from his seat happily, and then hurried to the sergeant: "Quick!" Invite him in. But before the sergeant could come out, he stopped the other party and said, "Wait, I don't need you, I'll go and invite you personally." After saying that, he hurried out of the tent.
When Liu Bang saw Li Shiqi, he hurriedly stepped forward. Without waiting for the other party to open his mouth, he grabbed the other party's hand and said, "I've been looking forward to Mr. for many days, why did Mr. come?" ”
As soon as he heard Liu Bang's words, Li Shiqi asked curiously: "Pei Gong knows that I am coming?" ”
"The ovary has long told me that there will be a savior to help me when Chen stays. I have been looking for Mr. Chenliu for many days. ”
It was only at this time that Li Shiqi understood. His meeting with Liu Bang had already been arranged by Zhang Situ. Then he said with a smile: "In the past, I received the great favor of Zhang Situ, and I once talked about who is the prince of the world. Zhang Situ is the first to recommend Pei Gong, and let me be sure to help you. Today, it seems that all this has been arranged by Zhang Situ a long time ago. I am willing to help Pei Gong and make contributions. ”
After listening to the other party's statement, Liu Bang also knew that this was the arrangement of the ovary. Rejoicing, he ordered the sergeant to prepare a banquet at once. After that, he walked into the tent with Li Shiqi and drank and talked.
After three rounds of drinking, Li Shiqi asked Liu Bang: "Pei Gong is here in Chenliu today, but he wants to use Chenliu's grain and grass to strengthen his strength. So as to march into Xianyang? ”
Liu Bang didn't hide it, and said bluntly: "Don't hide it, sir, that's exactly what I mean." Mr. may not know that the ovary has been captured by the Qin army in Xianyang, and my trip is to overthrow the tyrannical Qin and rescue the ovary. However, Chen Liuyi is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and our troops are limited. Please also help me, sir. ”
When Li Shiqi heard that Zhang Liang was captured by the Qin army, he immediately got up and said: "It turns out that Zhang Situ has fallen into the hands of the Qin army, so without further ado, he will enter the city immediately." With that, he turned to leave.
During the banquet, everyone cast surprised eyes, and Liu Bang hurriedly asked, "Sir, is this going to enter the city?" What's the matter with entering the city? ”
Li Shiqi reflexively smiled: "Now I am attached to Pei Gong, but there is no size work." I would like to rely on this three-inch incorruptible tongue to say Chen Liu, so as to help you rescue Zhang Situ as soon as possible. Then he left the camp without looking back.
Liu Bang and everyone are still living in a dream, and they have never woken up from each other's words. It wasn't until Xiao He opened his mouth that he woke up.
"Pei Gong, Mr. Li is afraid that he is eager to seek merit, so he goes alone, only afraid that there will be more luck and less luck. Let's stop him. ”
When Liu Bang heard this, he urgently ordered the sergeant to keep Li Shiqi. But the sergeant reported that the other party had borrowed a fast horse and left.
Everyone didn't dare to slack off anymore, and hurriedly set off as an army, wanting to meet Li Shiqi.
When the army approached the city, I saw that the defenders on the city did not have the slightest intention of preparing for war. When he was young, the city gate was wide open, and Li Shiqi walked out slowly, hugged his fist at Liu Bang and said, "Pei Gong, enter the city." The defending generals have fallen. ”
Liu Bang and the others couldn't believe that the other party really said that there was a city. Xiahou Ying quietly approached Liu Bang and said in a low voice: "Pei Gong, there is fraud in the release." ”
Before Liu Bang could reply, another person came out of the city. This person is somewhat similar to Li Shiqi, and when he saw Liu Bang, he bowed down and said: "Pei Gong, I am Chen Liu's deputy general Li Shang." My brother came to lobby the main general, saying that Pei Gong was the real master. We have long been suffering from the tyrannical government. Today, I surrender sincerely, and the general is ordering people to count the money and food. He also ordered me to come to greet him, and hoped that Pei Gong would accept it. ”
Liu Bang and others only knew at this time that these two were brothers, and Li Shiqi really said that there was a city as a meeting gift. Liu Bang hurriedly dismounted, stepped forward to pick up Li Shang, followed by grabbed Li Shiqi's hands, and said excitedly: "From today on, Mr. will be my Liu Ji's Guangye Jun." Both of you are rare talents, with your help, I will be able to overthrow the tyrannical Qin and rescue the ovary! ”
As soon as Li Shiqi and Li Shang heard Liu Bang's words, they hurriedly bowed down and replied together: "I am willing to follow Pei Gong to overthrow the tyrannical Qin and establish a meritorious career." ”
Xiao He looked at the situation in front of him and smiled slightly. Then Yang Tian sighed: "If Mr. Li, who said that the next city, is the number one lobbyist in the world, then how should Zhang Situ, who persuaded him to be like-minded, evaluate it?" There are not many people I can admire in my Xiao He's life, and Zhang Situ is definitely in the first place. And I believe that with his mouth alone, he can save the day in Xianyang.
