Xiang Yu never thought that he was self-defeating. originally wanted to make it difficult for Liu Bang and the others, but because of Zhang Liang's introduction, the princes cast appreciative eyes on them one after another.

As soon as Fan Zeng saw this situation, he immediately stepped forward to relieve the siege and said: "General Liu and Zhang Situ don't be surprised, the sergeant who greeted him is a new recruit, so he doesn't know the two. When he finished speaking, he turned to the sergeant and shouted, "Don't retreat yet." ”

The sergeants who made it difficult for Liu Bang and others saw Fan Zeng's words, and hurriedly confessed and retreated. Xiang Yu was still indignant at this time, and said casually: "The leaders of the righteous armies of all the princes and soldiers have come with soldiers and horses to strengthen their momentum. Only General Liu and South Korea's Zhang Situ did not bring their own troops and horses, so it is no wonder that my subordinates regard you as inactive.

As soon as Fan Xu heard Xiang Yu's words, he was immediately a little annoyed. Zhang Liang stretched out his hand to block him, and then calmly asked Liu Bang: "Pei Gong, I heard that Tyranny Qin has died, is it true?" “

Seeing that he was knowingly asking, Liu Bang felt that something must be wrong, and replied casually: "Yes! Dead! “

Seeing Liu Bang's affirmative answer, Zhang Liang put on an unbelievable look and said: "Since you are dead, why do you bring so many soldiers to participate in the reward banquet of Emperor Yi?" Who are you going to fight? “

As soon as Zhang Liang said this, there was immediately some noise in the crowd. The princes have made it clear to Emperor Yi that they are leading troops for the sake of Emperor Yi's safety, and the soldiers are already stationed outside, so they dare not disturb His Majesty.

When Fan Zeng heard Zhang Liang's words, he hurriedly said to everyone: "I am waiting to bring troops to increase the momentum of Emperor Yi." There are no two hearts. Don't be alarmed. “

When Liu Bang heard that it was for Emperor Yi's strength, he immediately pretended to be remorseful and said: "Hey~ I just want to participate in His Majesty's feast, and I don't think about any soldiers and horses at all." It seems that in terms of loyalty, generals and military advisors are superior. “

Zhang Liang saw that Liu Bang had completely let go, so he smiled and said, "What Pei Gong said is extremely true. Just looking at the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses sent by the general to garrison the Hongmen banquet camp, you can see how loyal he was. The number of soldiers and horses is almost the same as the number of the Righteous Emperor's Praetorian Guard! “

Fan Xu saw that the two of them sang very well in the double reed, so he simply intervened. "More than that, I take a look at it, I guess there are more soldiers and horses than His Majesty, right?!"

Xiang Yu was already angry when he heard the three of them talking to themselves! When the princes saw the situation, they all pinched a cold sweat. The banquet has not yet begun, and the two sides are already a little tense. Each of them was panicked, for fear that if the two sides continued to argue, they would misfire and bring harm to themselves.

Seeing that the situation was a little uncontrollable, Emperor Yi hurriedly said to everyone: "General Xiang can plan for my safety, I am really gratified. General Liu and Zhang Situ did not bring soldiers and horses, and they were also innocent. Neither party was at fault. Now that the world's heroes have arrived, we might as well take the seats as soon as possible. “

Although Emperor Yi is a puppet, as long as he reigns for one day, then his words still have a certain weight in front of everyone. He had already spoken, and everyone hurriedly helped the left and right into the big tent.

Liu Bang and the three also followed, facing tens of thousands of Xiang Yu sergeants, they were completely like shuttling through their own backyard. When Zhang Liang and Fan Zeng walked side by side, Fan Zeng suddenly smiled at him and said, "Ovary, how do you look at today's banquet?" “

Hearing Fan Zeng ask himself, Zhang Liang immediately smiled and said: "Very good, only such a scale can be regarded as the world's first celebration banquet." I just don't know what the food and drinks are. “

Fan Zeng saw that he was still talking and laughing, and he was not afraid. casually laughed and said: "Don't worry, not only the wine and meat are of the highest quality, but even the entertainment between the banquets is rare." ”

Seeing that Fan Zeng had something to say, Zhang Liang pretended to look forward to it and replied: "I like novel things the most, I hope Fan Lao will not disappoint me." ”

While the two were talking, the crowd had already entered the big tent. After Zhang Liang entered the account, he found that his seat was actually separated from Liu Bang. Liu Bang is the second seat on the right hand of Emperor Yi, while Zhang Liang is the last seat on the left hand.

Liu Bang saw that he and Zhang Liang's positions were diagonally opposed, and immediately signaled with his eyes. It's like asking what to do. Zhang Liang nodded slightly, signaling Liu Bang not to panic, and then stared at Fan Xu, and when Fan Hao found him, he moved his eyes to Liu Bang. Fan Hao immediately understood, followed Liu Bang's side, and stood up.

After everyone was seated, Emperor Yi took the lead in raising the wine bottle and said to everyone: "Today's overthrow of the tyrannical Qin is thanks to the princes and leaders of the righteous army. I'm overjoyed, let's drink this cup together. ”

After Emperor Yi finished speaking, everyone got up one after another, and then drank it all. Zhang Liang looked at the posture of the princes from all walks of life drinking, and said helplessly in his heart: You are all stupid X? Aren't you afraid of being poisoned? Besides, you can't drink horse urine like this, you can't drink it!

Before Zhang Liang could express the complaints in his heart, he saw Liu Bang, like other princes, drink the wine in the wine bottle in one gulp. And after drinking it, his expression was very happy, as if he liked the taste of this wine very much. At this time, Zhang Liang was completely speechless, and he began to suspect that Liu Bang was sent by God to punish him.

Emperor Yi saw that Zhang Liang hadn't drunk for a long time after raising his glass, and immediately asked, "Zhang Situ, why don't you raise your glass?" Do you think what I said is wrong? ”

Hearing Emperor Yi's words, Zhang Liang hurriedly put down the wine bottle, clenched his fists and replied: "Your Majesty, how could you be wrong." The destruction of this tyrannical Qin is naturally worthy of our celebration, but the subordinates feel that this first cup of wine, we should pay tribute to those heroes and righteous men who sacrificed their lives to overthrow tyrannical Qin! ”

When the princes heard Zhang Liang's words, they immediately set their eyes on him. Even Xiang Yu unconsciously looked up at Zhang Liang.

After listening to Zhang Liang's words, Emperor Yi nodded slightly, and then said with a little reproach: "Zhang Situ, what you said is extremely true!" Without them, how could we be where we are today? I was negligent! Come, everyone, let us pay tribute to those heroes who sacrificed their lives to overthrow the tyrannical Qin! ”

The princes from all walks of life didn't expect that Emperor Yi would wake up because of Zhang Liang's words, but what surprised them the most was that the first person to respond was actually Xiang Yu. At this time, Xiang Yu had already stood up, holding the bottle in both hands, with a grim expression. Because what he wants to respect is his most respected uncle, General Xiang Liang!

After everyone saluted with wine, Emperor Yi said to Zhang Liang: "Zhang Situ, every time you talk to me, I have benefited a lot, and Shicai is also thanks to your reminder, why don't you also propose this third glass of wine?" ”

The princes locked their eyes on Zhang Liang's body, and they really wanted to know what else Zhang Liang would say.

Seeing that Emperor Yi handed over the reason for the toast to himself, Zhang Liang hurriedly bowed down and replied: "I respectfully obey Emperor Yi's orders." With that, he raised the bottle again, and then shouted to the crowd: "This third cup, I propose to pay tribute to the people who have been poisoned by the war." ”

As soon as Zhang Liang said this, everyone present looked at him in surprise. In the minds of all the princes and even the righteous emperor, the people are just the most ordinary people, although they keep saying all day long that they will overthrow the tyrannical Qin for the people, but in fact, in their hearts, the people are just a group of rootless grass.

For Zhang Liang's proposal, everyone showed some disdain. But there was only one person, who stood up with a wine bottle in his hand as soon as Zhang Liang proposed. He is Liu Bang. The two of them looked at each other and smiled, then spilled the wine in their hands on the ground. As soon as the princes saw that the two of them had toasted first, they had to reluctantly follow.

Long Ji saw that Zhang Liang was stealing the limelight everywhere, and his heart was suddenly unhappy. "Is Zhang Situ's move a bit excessive, it is also the people who overthrew the tyrannical Qin. They deserve to be grateful, so why pretend to be high-minded? ”

As soon as he heard Long He say that he was pretending to be high-minded, Zhang Liang asked casually: "General Long is so knowledgeable, may I ask where your armor comes from?" ”

Long He was stunned when he heard this, and then replied: "Naturally, it was purchased, why did Zhang Situ come here to ask?" "Purchased? So where do you get the money you use? “

"In the army, it is the last general who exchanged his life! Zhang Situ's knowledge is so shallow! "Long He is becoming more and more impatient with Zhang Liang's question.

After listening to Long He's answer, Zhang Liang immediately smiled and said, "What is life for?" You can fight on the battlefield, exchange your life for gold, and even exchange it for fame! But what about the people? Not only did they have to pay taxes to raise soldiers, but they also had to pay for their lives because of the war, what did they get?! What is not the food and clothing of your food, your food, your food, your food, your food Those who survive may indeed have a secure life, as you say, but what about those who die? Can't they even drink the wine we toast? If there were no people, I'm afraid you, General Long, wouldn't even be able to eat, and you would still be able to eat here?! “

When everyone heard Zhang Liang's words, their faces sank. They don't know what they mean, but it's clearly not a good thing.

Emperor Yi saw that the banquet had just opened, and the war of tongues seemed to have started again, and then said in the round field: "Three glasses of wine have passed, please drink freely, we will only talk about Fengyue during today's banquet." ”

The princes were ordered by Emperor Yi to raise their glasses and drink bitterly, but Long Ji was no longer interested, just staring at Zhang Liang deadly.

When everyone was drinking and feasting, Xiang Bo suddenly got up and came to Zhang Liang's side, and then said loudly: "O ovary, come, how about you and I have a drink together?" ”

Zhang Liang saw Uncle Xiang coming. Hurriedly got up. The moment the two of them raised their glasses and drank, Xiang Bo said in a low voice: "Someone will send meat later, they are Fan Zeng's dead soldiers!" Be careful! ”

Hearing Xiang Bo's words, Zhang Liang remained silent. Only after drinking, he said with a smile: "Thank you General Xiang." ”

When Uncle Xiang returned to his place, four men entered outside the big tent, and they carried a wooden frame with a roasted lamb on it. At the same time, Fan Zeng slowly touched his hand into his sleeve, as if he wanted to pull out something.

When Zhang Liang saw this, he knew that Fan Zeng couldn't wait to make a move. He hurriedly took the wine bottle in his hand, got up and came to Fan Zeng. Then he said with a smile: "Master Fan has worked hard, and the ovary toasts you!" ”

Fan Zeng just took out the jade jue from his sleeve, but before he could show it, he saw Zhang Liang come to toast, so he had to helplessly pick up the wine bottle. After the two of them drank, Zhang Liang suddenly grabbed Fan Zeng's hand and asked, "Fan Lao's jade is so chic, can you see the ovary?" ”
