Chapter 186: What About the Little Daughter-in-law?
Guanzhong Moon descended, and Hongmen narrowly escaped; The Red Emperor had to enter Shu and got rid of the dragon from then on.
A thrilling, ups and downs Hongmen banquet came to an end. Emperor Yi was forced to move the capital and was still regarded as the lord of the world. But at this time, he is already like Zhou Tianzi during the Warring States Period, a real ornament.
Xiang Yu returned to the banquet after Zhang Liang and Liu Bang left, and the original feudal princes remained unchanged, but he re-sealed several princes, such as Zhang Han, Sima Xin, Dong Peng, Gong Ao, Han Guang and others. He himself proclaimed himself the overlord of Western Chu and commanded the army to govern Chu. Everyone then discussed matters such as the sealing documents and ceremonies, and finally decided to wait until Xiang Yu's army entered Xianyang before distributing them. So far, this feather has become the uncrowned lord of the world! At the same time, it also completely drew a successful end to the rule of the Qin Dynasty.
After Zhang Liang and Liu Bang escaped from the pursuit with the help of Yingbu, they soon met Xiahou Ying's army. When Xiahou Ying saw that the three of them had returned safely, she immediately dismounted and knelt in front of the three of them, and said remorsefully: "Pei Gong, Zhang Situ, Lao Fan." I'm sorry for you, I originally marched according to Zhang Situ's arrangement, but I was surrounded by Zhong Liwu's army just after I set off. I wanted to fight my way out, but the sergeants were all armed with pine oil firearms, and they didn't even have weapons with them. Coupled with Zhong Liwu's only blocking and not fighting, we can't move forward at all. So it's my sin for not being able to arrive at the appointed time. Punish. ”
When Liu Bang heard the other party's explanation, he immediately dismounted and helped him up, and then sighed: "How can I blame you, everything is Fan Zeng's trick." Our plan has long been exposed, but I am afraid that some people in our army have already taken refuge in Fan Zeng. ”
Hearing that someone had betrayed him, Xiahou Ying hurriedly replied: "Pei Gong, before I set off, Xiao He once said that Zuo Sima Cao's whereabouts were unknown without injury, and now it seems that he is the most suspicious!" ”
As soon as he heard that Cao Wuxian might be a traitor, Fan Xu immediately said angrily: "Don't let Lao Tzu catch this kid, if you catch him, you will definitely pull out its skin!" ”
Zhang Liang had no intention of estimating the mole at this time. Although there is still a danger if the mole is not eliminated, he now has more important things.
"Pei Gong, Lao Fan, Brother Xiahou, now that we are still in the range of Fan Zeng's pursuit, it is the best policy to quickly retreat to Wuguan with the army. You go first, I'm going to Xianyang. ”
Liu Bang also felt that this was definitely not the time to discuss the traitor, and he also agreed to return to Wuguan as soon as possible. But when he heard that Zhang Liang was going to Xianyang on his own, he immediately stopped: "No! You also said that we are still in Fan Zeng's pursuit range, and at this time, it is the right way to meet the army as soon as possible, but you have to go to Xianyang on your own. Why is that? ”
Seeing that Liu Bang didn't know his intentions, Zhang Liang immediately replied: "Pei Gong, once Xiang Yu and the other princes enter the city, they will definitely kill their children." He is a lifesaver for me, and I must not watch him sit idly by! ”
Hearing that Zhang Liang was going to save Prince Qin's baby, Liu Bang was speechless. He really didn't know how Zhang Liang's nerves grew. He is still in crisis, and he actually has to save a King Qin who has only one side of the relationship, and can only be regarded as using each other. But he finally chose to support Zhang Liang, because he knew that the other party's persistence and righteousness were really what he admired the most.
"If you have to go to Lao Tzu and not stop you, you bring Fan Xu and a hundred sergeants, and you can protect you well; Second, there are not many people, so it is convenient for you to maneuver; Third, you will not encounter obstacles when you enter Xianyang and Qin Palace. But you must promise me that you must rush back to Wuguan before dawn, otherwise Lao Tzu will lead a large army to find you!" ”
As soon as Zhang Liang heard that Liu Bang agreed, he hurriedly agreed to all his requests. After saying goodbye to Liu Bang, he and Fan Hao went straight to Xianyang with a hundred light horses.
As soon as he entered the Xianyang Qin Palace, Zhang Liang immediately found the child's room. It was late at night, but the child still hadn't slept peacefully. When he saw Zhang Liang, he was not the slightest surprised, as if he already knew that the other party was coming.
"Zhang Situ, we meet again. Visiting late at night, I don't know what happened? ”
Seeing that Ziying still looked unfazed, Zhang Liang said very anxiously: "King Qin, Xiang Yu will enter the city soon." He is not Pei Gong, and besides, there are all kinds of princes, they all want to kill you to thank the world. You'd better come with me. ”
After listening to Zhang Liang's words, Ziying suddenly bowed to him, and then said with a wry smile: "Thank you for still remembering me, the lord of the dead country." But you seem to have forgotten that I once said that the world suffers because of the Ying family, and I should atone for the Ying family. Ever since I surrendered to Pei Gong, I have been waiting for the day you are talking about. ”
Zhang Liang didn't expect Ziying to still beg for death, he wanted to enlighten the other party, but time refused to give him a chance.
As soon as Fan Xu saw the two of them so ink, he immediately rushed forward with an arrow step, and then knocked Ziying unconscious with a punch, then resisted on his shoulder, and then walked out of the room and headed towards the palace gate.
Zhang Liang opened his mouth half wide, looking at Fan Xu, who had already left, he suddenly felt that he was very idiot. In extraordinary times, Fan Xu's actions are simple and rude, but they are the most effective!
After leaving the Qin Palace, Zhang Liang and Fan Xu took Ziying to the side gate of Xianyang City, where they fled at that time.
As soon as he arrived at the city gate, Ziying happened to wake up slowly, and at this time he only felt dizzy pain in his head. When he saw that he had been taken away from the Qin Palace by Zhang Liang and others, he immediately struggled to go back.
Seeing that Ziying insisted on returning, Zhang Liang had no choice but to sink his face and say sharply when all persuasion was fruitless: "I thought you were a wise man who was willing to think about the people. But I never thought that you were just a hypocrite who only wanted to leave a name for himself! Do you think that your generous death is an explanation to the people of the world? You are evading your responsibilities!! Why is it so hard to die? True courage is to live bravely and then complete your mission! ”
Hearing Zhang Liang's reprimand, Ziying immediately looked at the other party in confusion, his face full of doubts. After pondering Zhang Liang's words to no avail, he finally asked, "Zhang Situ, you say that I am a hypocrite who only wants to leave a name?" Am I willing to die to atone for the sins of the Ying clan?! You say I'm shirking responsibility! Am I responsible for living in secret, and being far away from no one?! You say I should fulfill my mission, but what is my mission? ”
Ziying asked two questions in a row, and if someone else changed, he might open his mouth and not know how to respond. But Zhang Liang has already made a bamboo in his chest. "Ziying, your grandfather, the First Emperor, may be a tyrant who is rare in the ages, but he can't hide his flaws, and he can't erase all his exploits because of his tyranny! Not to mention the big one, just to say that his strategic vision is superior, he clearly understands that the Xiongnu is the biggest enemy of my Central Plains. So he set up 100,000 soldiers at the border to defend against strong enemies! And this soldier and horse are not only well-trained, but also directly under his leadership, this has become a tiger and wolf division for the military order, and only such a team can resist the Huns! ”
Ziying listened carefully to Zhang Liang's praise of his grandfather's wise decision on the defense of the Xiongnu. He found that Zhang Liang's evaluation was very objective and accurate, but at the same time, he also found that what Zhang Liang said did not match his question just now!
"Zhang Situ, Ziying really didn't expect that you, the first person to assassinate your grandfather, were actually his bosom friend! But what you're saying doesn't seem to have anything to do with my question! ”
Seeing that Ziying was getting more and more impatient, Zhang Liang went straight to the topic! "Now that the Qin Dynasty is dead, there is no one to govern this army anymore, but they still stick to their duties, but if it takes a long time, it will inevitably change. When the Huns drove straight into the Central Plains, how many people would have to be devastated by their iron hooves?! ”
It was only at this time that Ziying gradually understood what Zhang Liang meant. He asked tentatively: "You mean, let me take command of this army, guard the border for the rest of my life, and protect the people of the Central Plains?" ”
Zhang Liang didn't answer, but just took out half of the tiger talisman that Tianzi Ying stuffed into himself from his sleeve, and then handed it to the other party and said: "In the past, I was able to escape because of your gift of tiger talismans, and today I will return other things to their original owners." Where to go, it's all up to you! ”
Looking at the half of the tiger talisman that once belonged to her, Ziying suddenly felt that it was a responsibility. After pondering for a long time, he finally took over this responsibility, and then bowed to Zhang Liang, and said: "One of the great joys of life is to get to know Zhang Situ, if he can see you again at the border in the future, Ziying will definitely bow down to greet him, and then talk to you at night!" ”
Hearing that Ziying chose to go to the border, Zhang Liang showed a relieved smile. On the occasion of parting, Zhang Liang smiled at Ziying again: "After today, there will be no Prince Qin Baby, some are just a commander who guards the gate for the people of the Central Plains, maybe he will not leave a name, but at least I, Zhang Zifang, will always remember him!" ”
Ziying looked at Zhang Liang, who was constantly encouraging him, and he didn't know what words to use to thank the other party. Suddenly, he remembered the rumors he had heard about the discord between the other party and Xiang Yu, and said casually: "Zhang Situ, if he can't tolerate you in the Central Plains in the future, come to my border!" You are the true commander of the 100,000-strong army! ”
After saying goodbye, the child set off towards the border in the hazy moonlight!
Looking at Ziying's back as he gradually moved away, Zhang Liang suddenly felt that he was relieved, and from now on he was far away from the whirlpool of intrigue. Although he will never have a life of fine clothes and food again, he may be happy.
Fan Hao seemed to have the same feelings as Zhang Liang, and after a long time, he asked him, "Ovary, when will we be like him?" “
Zhang Liang didn't answer, he hoped that after leaving Guanzhong, he would find his lovers, and then find a place of his own like Ziying. Even if you live a life of coarse tea and light food, as long as you can leave the endless killing and conquest, it is good.
Seeing that Zhang Liang was thoughtful, Fan Hao continued: "Ovary, let's go!" It's time to go back to Wuguan, Pei Gong is still waiting for us. ”
Hearing Fan Xu's reminder, Zhang Liang immediately regained his spirits. Then the two set off again together, and walked towards Wuguan non-stop. When we arrived at Wuguan, the sky was already slightly bright.
When Zhang Liang saw Liu Bang, the first thing he asked was: "Pei Gong, what about my two little daughters-in-law?" (To be continued.) )
