Chapter 180: Three Competitions
Seeing that Xiang Zhuang's sword was about to reach Zhang Liang's throat. Even Zhang Liang himself has closed his eyes and is waiting to die.
Suddenly, the fatal sword actually grazed Zhang Liang's neck, only scratching a little. The pain in the heart immediately stimulated Zhang Liang's nerves, and he subconsciously reached out to touch the painful place, and the moment his fingertips touched the skin, he felt a trace of warm and viscous liquid. When Zhang Liang looked up at Xiang Zhuang, there was already one more person beside him.
"Dancing alone, it's too monotonous, let me accompany you."
As soon as Xiang Zhuang heard the other party's words, he immediately swung his sword and struck the man in the chest.
Seeing that Xiang Zhuang was still unabated, Zhang Liang hurriedly shouted: "Fan Xu, don't give me face." Use some real skills! ”
It turned out that Xiang Zhuang was just about to succeed, but it was Fan Hao who grabbed a step forward and beat Xiang Zhuang's saber a little lower with a sword. This made the sword that was supposed to be Zhang Liang's life turn into a passing by the neck.
When Xiang Zhuang danced the sword, everyone only paid attention to his sword dance. But Fan Xu always paid attention to the other party's movements. He also thought that the other party would attack Liu Bang. When he saw Xiang Zhuang gradually moving away from Liu Bang and approaching Xiwei, he knew that the other party's target was Zhang Liang.
For a while, the two of them competed against each other in the tent, and there was no beauty in the sword dance, but it was more like fighting for their lives.
When everyone saw this, they also guessed a rough idea. But afraid of Xiang Yu's might, he didn't dare to speak.
Xiang Yu was a little disappointed when he saw that Fan Hao had relieved Zhang Liang, but when he saw that the two were still trying hand-to-hand combat, he didn't say anything to stop him.
Xiang Zhuang and Fan Xu have been competing for a long time, and both sides have not seen fatigue. As soon as Zhang Liang saw Fan Xu's move, he knew that he had saved his strength. casually shouted loudly: "Lao Fan, you haven't eaten?!" ”
When Fan heard Zhang Liang's words, he immediately exerted his strength. When the two sides touched the sword again, Xiang Zhuang was obviously a little struggling.
Seeing that Xiang Zhuang was about to lose, he suddenly saw that after he and Fan Xu fought a pair of swords, he threw the sword at Liu Bang!
Zhang Liang secretly screamed when he saw this situation, he didn't expect Xiang Zhuang to kill him, and immediately turned to Liu Bang. And he pretended to lose the sword, and threw the sword at Liu Bang as if he was out of his hand. In this way, not only can you shirk responsibility, but also catch people off guard!
At this time, there were no guards around Liu Bang at all, and this sword was enough to kill Liu Bang. But after all, he shouldn't die! This sword was blocked by Xiang Bo
"Xiang Zhuang! Your swordsmanship is not good, don't add to the humiliation in front of Your Majesty! Go back! “
Seeing that Xiang Bo had relieved Liu Bang of the siege and heard him reprimand himself, Xiang Zhuang immediately looked at Fan Zeng, as if waiting for the other party's instructions.
Fan Zeng saw that Xiang Zhuang's two assassinations had failed, and Xiang Bo had also made a move, so he had to signal Xiang Zhuang to retreat first.
A sword dance and a fatal drama came to an end. All that was left for the people in the tent was nothing but horror and a worry.
Seeing that the situation was becoming more and more difficult to control, Emperor Yi had no choice but to speak: "Today's banquet is more than halfway over. I would like to divide all the meritorious people! What do you think? ”
Hearing that Emperor Yi had begun to divide the seals, everyone got up and replied: "Everything is up to Emperor Yidi!" ”
Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng heard that Emperor Yi was preparing to divide the seal, so they had to stop all actions. Get up and take orders. At the same time, Yingbu outside the tent has also begun to secretly mobilize troops and horses, as if he is ready to take action at any time.
Emperor Yi first divided the princes of all walks of life, and the descendants of the royal families of each country all used the throne of the country at the time of the Seven Kingdoms. Zhang Liang took the throne of Han instead of Han Wangcheng, and at the same time governed all the original Korean territories. Because the king of Han was ill, he crowned Zhang Liang as a lieutenant on behalf of the king of Han and took charge of the Korean military power. Although it is suspected of being hindered by replacing him with the royal family and vassals, he is the commander in another place, and Zhang Liang is the beloved son-in-law of South Korea, which can only be regarded as pushing the boat along the river.
When it was Xiang Yu and Liu Bang's turn, the atmosphere in the tent suddenly became extremely solemn. Even a blind man can smell the unusual smell. The division of these two people can be regarded as the "main course" of the Hongmen banquet!
"General Xiang worked hard to rescue Zhao Guo, and the giant deer attacked the Qin army! General Liu smashed the Yellow Dragon directly, passed the pass and beheaded the generals, and Xianyang destroyed Qin first! Both of them are the ministers of my Great Chu. I ...... will"
Without waiting for Emperor Yi to finish speaking, Zhang Liang hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, can you allow the ministers to say a word?" “
Emperor Yi saw that Zhang Liang had something to say, so he replied casually: "Since Zhang Aiqing has something to say, it doesn't hurt to say it!" ”
"Your Majesty, you once said that the first to enter the customs is the king. In terms of merit, the two generals Xiang and Liu can be called kings! However, the throne in this pass is really a headache, although Pei Gong entered the customs first, but it was because General Xiang's prestige spread throughout the Qin State, which made the enemy frightened, and Pei Gong was able to enter the customs first. On the one hand, it is the merit of the world, and on the other hand, it is in response to His Majesty's order! In my opinion, no matter who you block, it is a great injustice to the other party! ”
Emperor Yi and the others were more and more confused at this time. Zhang Liang not only did not come up with an idea, but made the situation even more confusing. Even Fan Zeng and Xiang Yu couldn't figure out what Zhang Liang wanted to do.
Seeing everyone's puzzled looks, Zhang Liang continued: "In the next proposal, it is better to let Pei Gong and General Xiang resign themselves to fate, and let God decide who should receive the throne of that Guanzhong!" ”
When Emperor Yi heard that he wanted to resign himself to fate, he immediately asked: "How to resign yourself to fate?" ”
"The two sides will compete in three games, and the one who wins two games first will be the master of the pass!"
After Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng heard Zhang Liang's words, they both frowned! After listening to Zhang Liang's idea, Emperor Yi was also full of doubts.
Zhang Liang saw that everyone did not say anything to object, and then continued: "Each side has a question, but it is not allowed to test the force of fists and feet, so as not to hurt the harmony." If it is a tie, His Majesty will play the third game and compete with each other. ”
All the princes present thought that Zhang Liang's idea was very reasonable. After Fan Zeng pondered for a long time, he also nodded slightly at Xiang Yu, indicating that it was okay.
Emperor Yi saw that everyone had no objections, so he had to announce that he would act in accordance with Zhang Liang's words. At the same time, the two sides were ordered to prepare the test questions first, and then Emperor Yi himself would make the judgment.
After getting the permission of Emperor Yi, Liu Bang and Fan Xu hurriedly gathered around Zhang Liang, and then the three began to discuss in a whisper.
"Ofan, this is how you forced Emperor Yi to let Xiang Yu be the king of Guanzhong?!"
Upon hearing Liu Bang's question, Zhang Liang replied casually: "Yes! If we directly propose not to do it, do you think Emperor Yi will be willing to rest? Only in this way can we get out of this predicament, and no longer let Xiang Yu find us bad luck because of the throne of Guanzhong, as long as we don't force him to act in front of the princes, we can hope to escape. After we lose, even Emperor Yi has no way to go back. “
When Liu Bang and Fan Xu heard this, they immediately understood his intentions. At this time, Liu Bang was extremely proud. "It may be harder to win, isn't it easy to lose?! Look at me! ”
didn't wait for Liu Bang to come forward to inform him of the topic, but was forcibly stopped by Zhang Liang. "Pei Gong, don't think too simply, we are going to lose, but if we want to lose, don't make people suspicious, if we automatically admit defeat without making an effort, or lose very badly, do you think Emperor Yi will let us go? Fan Zeng will also think that we are showing weakness and deliberately losing to them. He'll definitely find another way to kill us then. ”
When Fan heard this, his head began to hurt again. "The ovary, you can't win; You can't lose! How can this compare? ”
Seeing that Fan Hao still couldn't understand what he meant, Zhang Liang shook his head helplessly, and then sighed: "Old Fan, you won't win a game and lose a game?" ”
Knowing that he was going to win a game, Liu Bang was a little embarrassed. "It's easy to say that you lose, but how easy is it to win?"
"That's why I asked each side to come up with a question, so that you can think of a game that you can definitely win!"
After understanding Zhang Liang's plan, Fan Hao immediately said urgently: "Ovary, let's drink with them." When it comes to drinking, Lao Tzu let them ten! ”
Hearing that Fan Hao was going to compete with the other party, Zhang Liang hurriedly asked seriously: "Old Fan, are you sure you can win?" ”
"If you don't win, your head will be given to you!!"
After listening to Fan Xu's heroic words, Zhang Liang no longer hesitated. He hurriedly discussed it with Liu Bang, and then handed over the topic of his own side.
After Emperor Yi took over the questions of both sides, he slowly said to everyone: "The first competition, fighting wine!" “
As soon as Zhang Liang heard that the first game was his own topic, he immediately said to Fan Xu: "Old Fan, win this one no matter what." ”
Fan Hao looked confident, and only replied to Liu Bang and Zhang Liang: "Look at me!" Then he stepped forward.
Xiang Yu heard that he was going to fight wine, and without waiting to discuss with Fan Zeng, he stepped forward on his own. As soon as he saw that the other party was Fan Xu, he immediately smiled and said, "Fan Xu, your kung fu is good." It's a pity that I can only fight with you. Today I will let you know how good I am. ”
Fan Hao knew that he was clumsy, and immediately looked back at Zhang Liang, as if he wanted him to help him say a few words to boost his anger and suppress the other party.
When Zhang Liang saw it, he immediately understood. said to Xiang Yu in a deep voice: "Just talk and don't practice, fake tricks!" See the truth on the wine altar. ”
After listening to Zhang Liang's words, Fan Xu immediately looked at Xiang Yu proudly. Because his words are exactly what he wants to say.
After the two sides sat down, the servant served ten jars of wine. Without waiting for Emperor Yi to give an order, the two of them each took a jar, and then drank it with their necks up. The wine ran down the throats of the two of them and continued to flow into their stomachs. Everyone around them stared at the two of them with wide eyes.
After the whole jar of wine was drunk, neither of them responded, and then they each took another jar. Where have everyone seen such a way of drinking, even Zhang Liang, who thinks that the alcohol content in ancient times is not high, is secretly surprised by the two at this time. Even if the degree of this wine is not high, but after all, it is a real liquid, not to mention a jar of wine, it is a jar of water, and your body must have a place to store it!
When the two sides began to drink the fourth jar, Zhang Liang began to mumble. Fan Xu dared to pick this competition, naturally because he was confident in drinking. What Zhang Liang didn't expect was that Xiang Yu was so good at drinking. Looking at that posture, it is not yet known who will kill the deer, in case Fan Xu loses, then Emperor Yi is afraid that it will be difficult to explain.
Just when Zhang Liang was secretly cheering for Fan Hao in his heart, the two sides had already begun to drink the fifth jar of wine. Emperor Yi saw that all the ten jars of wine had been used up, and there was no intention of distinguishing the winner or defeat, so he hurriedly ordered someone to take the ten jars.
At this time, Fan Zeng was also very anxious, although he knew that Xiang Yu was good at drinking, he had never seen him drink so much wine. He was worried that Xiang Yu would drink too much alcohol and hurt his body.
The princes from all walks of life were amazed by the performance of the two, but just when everyone was speculating about who would win, Fan Xu suddenly shouted to everyone: "It's too troublesome!" Let's have a big urn! (To be continued.) )
