"Zhang Situ? Why are you here?! Emperor Yi Xin was very shocked by Zhang Liang's appearance. According to his report, Zhang Liang should be at Hangu Pass at this time to assist Liu Bang in blocking Xiang Yu's army.

In the face of Emperor Yi's inquiry, Zhang Liang seemed very calm. "The subordinate came with General Jibu. The purpose of coming here today is to ask Your Majesty to make a decision on the dispute between the two armies of Xiang and Liu. Because both armies are under the command of His Majesty, it is natural that His Majesty should adjudicate. ”

Seeing that Zhang Liang's words were a little aggressive, Mi Xin immediately understood that the other party was not good. casually said gloomily: "Since it is the matter of my Chu State, then why bother with your Korean Situ?!" ”

Facing the angry Emperor Yi, Zhang Liang appeared extremely calm. Hearing that the other party asked him not to interfere in the state affairs of the Chu State, he immediately continued: "Since Your Majesty said so, then the subordinate has nothing to say." But dare to tell Your Majesty, why did you send someone to rob your subordinates?! ”

As soon as Zhang Liang said this, the hall immediately fell silent. Ji Bu looked at the cold Zhang Liang and felt that he was too bold. Although Emperor Yi has no real power, after all, this is his capital, and he also has his own soldiers and horses, he said it so clearly, is he really not afraid that Emperor Yi will be angry and angry, and then kill people and destroy his mouth?

Emperor Yi and Zhang Liang were speechless, and the two looked at each other like this. For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall was unusually strange. Even the attendants who had been accompanying Emperor Yi began to slowly withdraw backwards.

After a long silence, Emperor Yi finally broke the deadlock. I saw that he had regained his previous friendly smile, but unfortunately, the discerning person knew at a glance that the smile was barely squeezed out by him.

"Zhang Situ, you must not listen to people's instigation. In the past, you have made a difference, and I have always been grateful to you, so how could I send someone to rob you? ”

Zhang Liang saw that Emperor Yi refused to admit it, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Ming people don't say secret words. Your Majesty is bold, please speak clearly. Do you really want your subordinates to find out everything?! ”

When Emperor Yi heard this, he knew that there was no longer any need to hide it. He immediately signaled to retreat left and right, leaving only Emperor Yi, Zhang Liang and Ji Bu in the hall.

After everyone retreated, Emperor Yi slowly sat back on the table and said in a low voice: "Zhang Situ, you came with General Ji Bu, are you here to take my life?" “

Hearing Emperor Yi's question, Ji Bu hurriedly replied: "The last general will not dare. ”

After listening to Ji Bu's answer, Emperor Yi smiled bitterly and continued: "I, the puppet Emperor Yi, am I like a pig and sheep in your eyes, ready to be slaughtered at any time?" ”

Zhang Liang did not answer Emperor Yi's question, but clenched his fists and said: "Your Majesty, in order to protect yourself, it is understandable for you to use the strategy of two tigers competing for food. But you are too ruthless, you sent someone to capture me, do you want to borrow my love with General Liu and blame Xiang Yu, so that the two armies can fight each other? ! ”

For Zhang Liang's accountability, Emperor Yi chose to remain silent.

When Ji Bu heard Zhang Liang's words, he immediately looked at Emperor Yi in surprise, as if he was waiting for the other party's reply. When he saw that Emperor Yi chose to remain silent, he knew the answer. Then, he stared at the other party fiercely.

"People say that Zhang Zifang is resourceful, and when I saw it today, it was true. I have been planning a plan for a long time, even Fan Zeng has never noticed it, you have actually seen the fire. ”

Emperor Yi's praise did not make Zhang Liang happy, he still said calmly: "Your Majesty, the subordinates are stupid, and they didn't notice Your Majesty's plan at first, just because there is an old man in the family; If there is a treasure, it is my father who sees your scheme! And how did you know that Fan Zeng didn't notice it? How do you know he's not going to do it? ”

Hearing Zhang Liang's rhetorical question, Emperor Yi casually exclaimed: "You mean that Fan Zeng has already seen through my strategy?" ”

Zhang Liang still didn't answer, but continued to say to himself: "Your Majesty, now the situation is like a three-legged stand, and the lack of either side will cause a fatal blow. You want Xiang and Liu's armies to fight, so as to reap the benefits of the fisherman. But have you ever thought that if Xiang Yu and Liu Bang negotiate peace or one of them wins, his muscles and bones will not be injured, and his strength will still exist. Will your situation be safe then?! ”

When Emperor Yi heard this, he felt that he knew that Zhang Liang was not here to ask the guilt, but seemed to have come to solve this dilemma.

"Zhang Situ, do you have a way to solve the current dilemma?"

As soon as he heard Emperor Yi ask about himself, Zhang Liang immediately replied: "It is not difficult to solve the dilemma. However, the subordinates must first know whether there has been an envoy from Xiang Yu's army in the past few days to ask Emperor Yi for the will to march to Xianyang? ”

Emperor Yi was stunned when he heard this, and then replied suspiciously: "No, did Xiang Yu's army send an envoy?!" ”

When Zhang Liang learned that no messenger had arrived, he secretly screamed in his heart. If Fan Zeng and Xiang Yu hadn't sent someone to ask for an order, there would have been only one possibility. They want to directly capture Hangu Pass!

Thinking of this time, Zhang Liang was already on pins and needles. After pondering for a long time, he hurriedly said to Emperor Yi: "Your Majesty dare to quickly issue an order to gather all the princes, and say that in order to celebrate the fall of the violent Qin, you will feast on them in Xianyang, and at the same time reward them!" He then ordered General Liu Bang to give up Xianyang, and at the same time ordered Xiang Yu to only bring 100,000 soldiers and horses into the pass and garrison outside the city. This will not only ensure the safety of both parties, but also avoid fighting! Finally, please let your Majesty leave for Hangu Pass. I'm afraid it's all over when it's too late! ”

Seeing Zhang Liang's anxious appearance, Emperor Yi did not dare to slack off. He hurriedly asked this Ji Bu: "General Ji, is there a place near Xianyang that can accommodate a large army and is suitable for drinking and feasting?" ”

When Ji Bu heard Emperor Yi's question, he immediately replied: "There is a place named Hongmen not far from Xianyang, which is extremely wide, which can not only garrison troops, but also set up tents and banquet guests. ”

Hearing Ji Bu's answer, Emperor Yi hurriedly called his attendants, and then said urgently: "Spread the decree, gather all the princes, gather in Guanzhong, and I will invite them to a banquet in Hongmen to celebrate the fall of the tyrannical Qin." At the same time, he ordered Liu Bang to withdraw from Xianyang and return the army to hegemony! Then ordered Xiang Yu to bring 100,000 soldiers and horses into the customs and garrison the west side of Xianyang! Then order Situ Luchen to lead all the forbidden troops with me to Hangu Pass! ”

When the chamberlain heard this, he immediately went to issue the decree.

Just as Emperor Yi was about to leave, an attendant suddenly entered and announced: "Your Majesty, the general has sent an envoy to say that there is something important to do. ”

When Emperor Yi heard this, he immediately looked at Zhang Liang, as if asking him what was going on.

When Zhang Liang heard that Xiang Yu's envoy had arrived, his heart was a little calmer. Seeing that Emperor Yi looked at him, he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, send an envoy quickly." You can just let him bring back your will. ”

When Emperor Yi heard this, he immediately summoned the envoy. When the envoy entered, he saw that it was Chen Ping.

As soon as Chen Ping saw that Zhang Liang and Ji Bu were together, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Zhang Situ, General Ji, why are you here?" ”

Zhang Liang saw that it was Chen Ping, so he didn't answer his question, but hurriedly asked, "Brother Chen, are you here to ask Emperor Yi for the will of Emperor Yi according to what we discussed that day?" ”

"Exactly, Fan Junshi sent me to ask Emperor Yi, and the general wanted to lead troops into the customs to increase the momentum of Emperor Yi. I came to ask Emperor Yi to give an order. Chen Ping replied truthfully.

Emperor Yi and Ji Bu were confused when they heard the conversation between Zhang Liang and Chen Ping, because they didn't know that this was the result of the negotiation between the two armies that day, so they didn't know the ins and outs of the matter.

After listening to Chen Ping's reply, Zhang Liang hurriedly said to him: "Emperor Yi has issued an order to order all the princes to gather in Xianyang, and ordered Pei Gong to return to the army and Xiang Yu to lead 100,000 troops into the customs. Go and preach the message as soon as possible. ”

When Chen Ping heard Zhang Liang's words, he looked at Emperor Yi suspiciously, as if he was confirming his will to the other party.

Emperor Yi nodded casually in confirmation.

But before Chen Ping returned to issue the decree, he saw the chamberlain enter, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, General Xiang Yu sent a messenger to ask for a meeting!" ”

At this time, everyone in the hall was completely frozen, and Zhang Liang knew Chen Ping's intention. But Xiang Yu actually sent someone again. For this messenger, even Zhang Liang didn't know his intention. He had a vague sense of foreboding.

After Emperor Yi was announced, Zhang Liang immediately exclaimed when he saw the comer: "Han Xin? How are you?! ”

Han Xin never thought that Zhang Liang, Ji Bu and Chen Ping were actually in the same place as Emperor Yi. As soon as he saw Zhang Liang, he immediately knelt down on one knee and bowed in remorse: "Zhang Situ, I'm sorry for you!" ”

Seeing Han Xin's move, Zhang Liang hurriedly stepped forward to support him. "You get up first, what the hell is going on? Why do you do it? What is your purpose? ”

Zhang Liang asked three times in a row, but Han Xin was full of frustration. After a while, he said slowly: "Fan Zengjun sent me to ask Emperor Yi to make General Xiang Yu the lord of Guanzhong." ”

Han Xin's words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, not only Emperor Yi and Zhang Liang trembled, but even Chen Ping and Ji Bu opened their eyes in disbelief.

"Han Shin! Why did Fan Zeng want Emperor Yi to seal Xiang Yu as the lord of Guanzhong? Could it be that Xiang Yu has already broken through Hangu Pass? Zhang Liang asked almost like a roar.

Emperor Yi and Chen Ping were also looking at Han Xin, waiting for his reply.

I saw Han Xin as if he was extremely remorseful, lowered his head and sighed, and then replied to Zhang Liang tremblingly: "I haven't sent troops when I set off, but I have already made a plan, I believe Fan Zeng should make a move." ”

Zhang Liang heard that Han Xin had a plan, and hurriedly asked, "Strategy?!" What's your strategy?! ”

"Pretend to be the Emperor of the Righteous Emperor, infiltrate the pass, wait for the opportunity to destroy your new weapon, and then join forces with the outside...... Break through Hangu Pass. Han Xin was almost a whisper in the end.

After listening to Han Xin's words, Zhang Liang was already slumped on the ground. He carefully thought about whether Han Xin's plan was feasible, in fact, Han Xin's arrival was already proof of Fan Zeng's confidence, but Zhang Liang still considered whether Liu Bangjun had a way and someone who could crack this plan.

When Emperor Yi saw Zhang Liang's actions, he knew that something was wrong. He wanted to persuade Zhang Liang to leave quickly and go to Hangu Pass together. But before he could speak, Ji Bu suddenly attacked!

I saw Ji Bu taking advantage of Zhang Liang's thinking that he hurriedly stepped forward to catch Zhang Liang. Then he said with a smile: "Zhang Zifang, now that General Xiang can break through Hangu Pass, I don't need to join forces with you anymore, this world is General Xiang's after all!" ”

Zhang Liang was suddenly captured, and he was bitter in his heart, he forgot that Ji Bu was reluctant to unite with him because of the interests of the Xiang family's army, and now he has learned from Han Xin that the Xiang family's army will capture the pass, how can the other party not turn his face? !

Within a day, Peng Chengsan came in to make envoys, and the situation changed many times. No one knows exactly how things will turn out...... (To be continued.) )
