Chapter 153: Xiao Zhang Liang
After Xiang Yu's army rendezvoused with Long Ji, he learned that Long Ji's army was only 3,000 people left.
Fan Zenglong hurriedly ordered the dragon and detailed the battle situation. When Long He recounted the incident to Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng in detail, he knelt on the ground and begged for a confession.
Xiang Yu was already furious at this time, his angry hands were clenched into fists tightly, and his snort was as loud as thunder, and it was extremely urgent. He wanted to punish Long Ji, but he finally held back. "You are too careless in this battle, but I remember that you have many military exploits on weekdays, and you have the right to write down this account, and I hope you will make meritorious contributions! Go down. ”
Hearing that Xiang Yu was not responsible, Long immediately thanked Xiang Yu gratefully. Fan Zeng also greatly appreciated Xiang Yu's handling method, and looked at him with a smile in the corner of his eyes, as if he was appreciating the growth of the other party.
After Long He retreated, Xiang Yu hurriedly asked Fan Zeng, "Father, how should we deal with it now?" ”
Fan Zeng thought for a moment, and then slowly replied: "He Zhang Zifang risked his life and lured Long He to be fooled, which shows that he is eager to get rid of Long Ji's block. It seems that he has guessed that we will use Han Shu and Lu Zhi's two daughters to blackmail him, so he is in a hurry to attack. But now that our army has arrived, he has no hope of going to King Han. We immediately set up camp outside Hanya Pass and cut off his way out. But be wary of his new weapon, a mere rocket can instantly turn a large camp into a sea of fire, which shows that this thing is really powerful. ”
When Xiang Yu heard Fan Zeng's words, he immediately ordered his troops to be stationed outside Hangu Pass, and at the same time ordered to defend them tightly, and once they found the enemy, they would suppress them with bows and crossbows.
After Liu Bang's army won, he immediately cleaned up the battlefield and returned to Guannai. Zhang Liang didn't have time to have any sense of accomplishment and joy and was in a hurry to leave.
"Brothers, Long Ji's forces have been wiped out, and I will rush to my father's place immediately. Once it is confirmed that Shu'er and Zhi'er are okay, they will come back. This is the gateway to Xianyang, and I have left a powder jar. Once Xiang Yu comes to attack, it's all up to you! ”
Seeing that Zhang Liang was in a hurry to leave, he still did not forget to guard the customs. Everyone was very moved. Xiahou Ying gestured to a sergeant, and then said to Zhang Liang: "Zhang Situ, it is too dangerous for you to go alone. I have gathered 10,000 soldiers and horses with you. ”
When Fan Hao and the others heard Xiahou Ying's arrangement, they hurriedly echoed: "Yes, you bring soldiers and horses." In case you encounter Xiang Yu's troops, you can be safe! ”
After listening to the other party's arrangement, Zhang Liang hurriedly excused himself and said: "Thank you, brothers, but the army is too slow to move, and I still have to carry grain and grass baggage, and it is a long way to go to my father's place, so I want to ride alone." Besides, the task here is quite heavy, how can we easily divide the troops?! If you really want to help me, brothers, let me go alone. ”
Seeing that Zhang Liang insisted on his own opinion, everyone was not able to force it anymore. But Xiao He was always worried about his safety. "Then let's go to the ovary, and let the two hundred elite riders go with you. First, we are highly mobile, and secondly, we are guarding the pass, and the utilization rate of cavalry is low. It doesn't affect the big picture. ”
After listening to Xiao He's suggestion, everyone agreed. Zhang Liang also felt that it was feasible after thinking about it several times.
But just when Zhang Liang was about to say goodbye and leave, Tanma hurriedly reported back: "Enlighten a few adults!" Xiang Yu led the 30 army to join the remnants of Long Ji. At this moment, they are encamping on the way in and out of Hangu Pass. ”
Zhang Liang didn't expect the other party to come so quickly, and it was like five thunderbolts suddenly thundered.
After listening to the emergency report, Zhou Bo immediately asked suspiciously: "Doesn't Xiang Yu have an army of 400,000?" Long Ji's 50,000 is gone. That's 350,000. How did it become 300,000? ”
When Zhang Liang heard Zhou Bo's question, he hurriedly grabbed the sentry and asked, "Do you know where the 50,000 disappeared?" ”
Seeing that coach Zhang Liang was so anxious. The sentry hurriedly replied: "This villain really doesn't know, but Xiang Yu's general Ji Bu also doesn't know where to go." ”
Zhang Liang heard that it was too late at this time.
Seeing Zhang Liang's decadent expression, Fan Hao hurriedly persuaded: "Don't panic in the ovary, maybe Xiang Yu sent someone to attack Wuguan." ”
Hearing the other party's consolation, Zhang Liang had to say with a wry smile: "Fan Zeng must have known the power of gunpowder from Long Ji's mouth a long time ago, so he categorically will not divide his troops. Because dividing the army is tantamount to adding fuel, and the more you add, the more you will die. These 50,000 soldiers and horses and Ji Bu must have gone to their father's place."
When everyone heard Zhang Liang's explanation, they immediately fell silent. Because the other party's analysis is right, there is no other possibility except for the possibility accident he said.
Suddenly. Zhang Liang said to Xiao He: "Brother Xiao, from now on, the command of the army will be handed over to you." I'm in a mess, and I'm even more afraid that when the other party threatens me, I won't be able to stand it. ”
Before Xiao He could refuse, another sergeant entered the room to report: "Qi a few adults, Xiang Yu sent someone to the front of the pass." said that there was something important to discuss with Master Zhang. ”
As soon as Zhang Liang heard that the other party was going to see him by name, he immediately knew that this was an ultimatum. When his mind was a little calmer, he ordered the envoy to be brought in.
As soon as Xiang Yu's envoy entered, he smiled and said to Zhang Liang: "Engong, we finally meet again." I'm relieved that you're safe. ”
As soon as Zhang Liang and the others looked at each other, they immediately recognized each other. This person is Chen Ping, who helped Liu Bangbing to take the Wuguan without blood.
Seeing Chen Ping coming, Zhang Liang said with a little reproach: "Okay, you Chen Ping, I saved your life, are you repaying you like this?" You let Pei Gongbing take the Wuguan without blood, so as to enter Xianyang first. This is to roast him on the fire! ”
Hearing Zhang Liang's accountability, Chen Ping did not complain, but said with a smile: "Engong, I tested Pei Gong's mind when I made a plan. He is not afraid of threats and is bent on saving you from the cage. You are kind to me, how can I not help him. I think you should be happy at this point. Because Pei Gong's affection for you is indeed hard to find in the world. ”
Zhang Liang knew that the other party had a lot of tricks, and if he really wanted to fight with him, the outcome was unknown. Moreover, every word of the other party was reasonable, which made him speechless.
"Okay, you can tell. So what are you here for? Is there something Fan Zeng wants you to convey? ”
Chen Ping changed his words and deeds at this time, and his expression became very helpless. "Eun Gong, you've actually guessed it, right? Otherwise, you won't risk attacking the Dragon's army. ”
Zhang Liang nodded slightly and replied: "I've probably guessed it, but I'm not sure, you still tell me how bad the situation is." ”
Listening to the conversation between the two, it is not at all like the two opposites, like a pair of close friends, discussing the beginning and end of the incident in the midst of conversation and laughter.
"I don't hide it. Fan Zeng has sent Ji Bu to lead 50,000 soldiers and horses to encircle in the name of guarding. And the target is the capital where King Han is located. ”
Before Chen Ping finished speaking, Zhang Liang was already sitting on the ground. Although he guessed all this, when the news was confirmed, he still couldn't bear it.
At this time, everyone stepped forward to support Zhang Liang. Fan Xu said angrily to Chen Ping: "You Chu Jun are too shameless. He actually blackmailed other people's wives and children. In vain, Xiang Yu calls himself a hero, bullshit! ”
In the face of Fan Xu's reprimand. Chen Ping could only shake his head helplessly and sighed: "Originally, Fan Zeng's original intention was to kidnap the two wives of Engong. But Xiang Yu was unwilling to do such a dirty thing, and later Fan Zeng changed to besiege the king of Han, hoping to restrain you in turn. ”
Hearing that the other party would not arrest his Shu'er and Zhi'er, Zhang Liang felt a little relieved. But the crisis has not been resolved, and he is still under the control of Fan Zeng.
"Chen Ping, what you said should not be able to be told to me. In case Fan Zeng knows, do you know your fate? Zhang Liang expressed his gratitude to Chen Ping's truth, but he was also worried about the other party's situation.
After Chen Ping listened to Zhang Liang's words. immediately smiled: "If it weren't for the help of the father-in-law, I would have been dead long ago." People don't know how to repay Entu, how is it different from beasts?! ”
Seeing Chen Ping's heart towards himself, Zhang Liang was very relieved at this time. Fan Xu learned of Chen Ping's intentions, and hurriedly said slightly apologetically: "Chen Duwei, what I said just now was not aimed at you, don't take it to heart." ”
Listening to Fan Xu's explanation to himself, Chen Ping hurriedly replied: "General Fan doesn't need to say much. I also disagree with Fan Zeng's behavior. Although the two armies have no affection to talk about, they are doing so. It's really disgraceful. ”
After Chen Ping finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Liang, who looked sluggish, and hurriedly continued: "Engong, Fan Zeng asked me to come this time to ask you to talk outside the customs in three days. It seems that his arrangement has no intention of harming you, after all, he has two ladies in his hands as shields, and he believes that you will give in. You'd better figure out what to do earlier. ”
The other party's suggestion made Zhang Liang fall into deep thought again. Unfortunately, no matter what he thinks, he will not be able to solve this crisis.
Everyone pinched a cold sweat for Zhang Liang at this moment. They knew what Fan Zeng's purpose was.
Ultimately. Zhang Liang decided to take one step at a time, and after he thanked Chen Ping, he asked the other party to tell Fan Zeng on his behalf, saying that he was on time for the appointment.
Another face-to-face battle of wits and courage after Huiji is about to start outside Hangu Pass! And at this time, Handu has also changed-
In the capital of King Han, Shu'er and Zhi'er had already learned about the siege of the capital by the Chu army.
The other party insisted that the Qin state had surrendered at the beginning. Fearing that the remnants of the forces would fight to the death and break the net, it would endanger the two wives of King Han and Zhang Situ, so they came to help defend them.
After hearing the other party's reason, Lu Zhi immediately reprimanded: "They are really shameless, they are obviously surrounding us, plotting against us, and what are they talking about to help defend us." ”
Han Shu was also extremely puzzled about the purpose of the Chu army. However, King Han's body has never healed, and she can't even find the person she consults.
In the face of Ji Bu's 50,000 soldiers and horses, although Shu'er and Zhi'er were not afraid, they were extremely confused. Not only did the other party not commit any crimes, but he also did not ask for any materials.
Just when the two of them were at a loss, Shu'er thought of someone. Then she instructed her subordinates: "You go and help me call Zhang Yun." ”
Hearing that Han Shu was looking for Zhang Yun, Lu Zhi hurriedly asked, "Sister, what are you looking for Zhang Yun for?" He knew all day long that he was circling around Yue'er's sister. It's just like a husband. ”
Shu'er smiled when she heard this: "It's because he looks like a husband that I looked for him, and he has followed her husband for the longest time in this world, and even learned a lot of the art of war." These are extraordinary times, and I'm asking him to help us figure out how to deal with this. ”
When he was young, Zhang Yun came to Han Shu's room under the leadership of his subordinates. As soon as he entered, he hurriedly bowed: "Two ladies, I don't know what to call Xiaoxiao?" ”
Seeing Zhang Yun coming, Lu Zhi said jokingly: "Oh, our little "Zhang Liang" is here, did you use your son-in-law's tricks to deceive Sister Yue'er again?" ”
As soon as he heard his wife ridiculing him, Zhang Yun immediately blushed and replied: "It's just to help." ”
When Han Shu saw his embarrassment, she almost laughed out loud, and when her mind stabilized a little, she asked him, "Zhang Yun, do you like Yue'er?" (To be continued.) )
