Chapter 122: The one who enters the customs first is the king

Zhang Yun was sent to Liu Bang for help. Halfway through, he met Liu Bang's army, which had already come.

Liu Bang recognized Zhang Yun, and when he saw him coming, he hurriedly asked, "Zhang Yun, where is your son-in-law?" How about Han Wang, Princess Han Shu, and Lu Zhi? ”

"Pei Gong, my son-in-law has been taken away by the Qin army, King Han and the princess, and the second lady are all fine. I was about to invite you, but when the prince was leaving, it seemed that he had taught the two ladies a face-to-face lesson, and there was a message specially for you! ”

Hearing that Zhang Liang had been taken away by the Qin army, Liu Bang immediately felt dizzy and almost fell off his horse, but fortunately Xiao He on the side held him up! At the same time, he opened his mouth to persuade: "Pei Gong, don't worry, since the ovary was taken away, and Qin Jun did not embarrass his two wives, I don't think it will endanger his life." Let's meet with King Han as soon as possible and make a decision. ”

Liu Bang felt that Xiao He's words were very reasonable, and hurriedly asked Zhang Yun to lead the way, and at the same time ordered the army to march quickly.

After Liu Bang joined Han Wang's army, he urgently ordered the sergeants to take care of Han Wang's wounded, and at the same time sent medical officers to treat Han Wang.

After Han Shu and Lu Zhi saw Liu Bang, they repeated the words that Zhang Liang had confessed before leaving.

"Yu beats Zhang Han, Pei Gong benefits; Surrender to the people, don't enter Xianyang? What does that mean? Liu Bang thought about Zhang Liang's words repeatedly, but he couldn't figure it out.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao He explained to everyone: "Literally, Zhang Situ is letting Xiang Yu fight against Zhang Han, and letting Pei Gong accept the other party's invitation to surrender, and at the same time appease the people!" But where does this benefit come from? And if Pei Gong is not allowed to enter Xianyang, how can this save the ovary? ”

Liu Bang thought hard to no avail, simply ignored it, and said to everyone: "No matter what the ovary means, I must save him, you quickly prepare the army." We can prepare to pursue the Qin army and rescue the ovary. ”

When Cao Shen heard that Liu Bang was planning to march, he hurriedly stepped forward to prepare to dissuade him. Because the cities and passes to Xianyang were already under the control of the Qin army, rashly marching at this time was tantamount to digging one's own grave. Just as Cao Shen was about to speak, suddenly the sergeant entered to report that the messenger of Emperor Huai had arrived.

Liu Bang hurriedly announced the messenger inside. After the messenger met Liu Bang. Then he said: "Master Hou, Your Majesty ordered you to collect General Xiang Liang and the remnants of Chen Sheng, and then march into Guanzhong!" ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, but they didn't expect Emperor Yi to have such an arrangement.

Liu Bang was overjoyed, because this coincided with my action to rescue Zhang Liang.

Xiao He was finally thoughtful, and asked the messenger, "I don't know why Your Majesty made this arrangement?" ”

As soon as the messenger heard Xiao He's question, he immediately replied with a smile: "Your Majesty received a letter from Zhao Guo asking for help a few days ago, saying that King Qin led an army of 200,000 to surround Zhao's army in Julu, and Zhao Guo is in danger. His Majesty urgently ordered General Song Yi. Together with the two generals Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng, they went to the rescue, and after defeating the Qin army, they then marched to Xianyang! His Majesty has personally named General Song Yi as the champion of the son! It is reported that the army of Han has also marched towards Zhao. His Majesty's arrangement shows his great love for the Hou Ye. The most important thing is that His Majesty has made it clear that the one who enters the customs first is the king! ”

When Liu Bang heard that the first person to enter the customs was the king, he was immediately shocked. When everyone heard the news, they were also ecstatic.

Liu Bang hurriedly arranged for the sergeant to entertain the messenger. Then he turned to everyone and said, "Brothers, the reason why I, Liu Bang, was able to be a marquis today, and why I was treated so favorably by Emperor Yi. Thanks to the help of the ovary! But now he has been taken captive by the Qin army and taken to Xianyang. You say, 'Should I save him?' ”

"Save, must be saved! Emperor Yi said, the first to enter the customs is the king! The eldest brother took advantage of this to break into Xianyang, rescue the ovary, and be crowned a king by the way! Fan Hao looked extremely excited.

Everyone was also excited about the news. Only Xiao He. His brows were deeply furrowed, and he was very worried.

When Liu Bang saw it, he hurriedly asked, "Xiao He, do you think we shouldn't save the ovary?" ”

Xiao He then replied: "No! We should save the ovary. But I was thinking about the words he had left. ”

Liu Bang also thought about it at this time, and after thinking about it carefully. finally understood why Xiao He was worried.

Seeing the expressions of the two of them, Zhi'er immediately said urgently: "Brother-in-law, what's wrong with you?" Are you not going to save my husband? ”

Liu Bang didn't know how to explain. looked at Xiao He.

Xiao He took a step forward and said patiently: "The four sentences that the ovary explained before leaving are exactly in line with the current situation. ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and then they began to compare them one by one.

These first two sentences are exactly what Xiang Yu is going to fight against the Qin army at this time, and he will meet Zhang Han soon. And Pei Gong has become the biggest beneficiary at this moment. The third sentence is to let Pei Gong attack the city and surrender to appease the people. But the last sentence is clearly not allowed to allow Liu Bang to enter Xianyang to become the king.

Everyone admires Zhang Liang's material like a god. But I don't understand the meaning of the last sentence. If Zhang Liang follows his approach, not only will Pei Gong not be crowned king, but he will not be able to rescue him.

Xiao He saw everyone's doubts, so he opened his mouth and explained: "I guess the ovary is afraid that once Pei Gong becomes king, he will become a thorn in Xiang Yu's eyes, and then he is only afraid that Pei Gong will be in danger." ”

When Fan Hao heard this, he immediately said angrily: "I'm afraid that he is a bird." If he Xiang Yu dares to come, I will settle Yongqiu's account with him! ”

"Yes, Pei Gong. Zhang Situ may be worried that our strength is not enough, but as long as we continue to accept and collect troops along the way, when we reach Xianyang, we will definitely be stronger than Xiang Yu. Xiahou Ying also echoed.

But after all, Zhang Situ had already made it clear that he would not let Pei Gong enter Xianyang. He is like a god, and since he says so, he must have a deep meaning. Cao Shen has a different opinion on this.

Liu Bang listened to everyone express their opinions, and his heart was even more wavering. He wanted to rescue Zhang Liang very much, but he always believed Zhang Liang's words. At the moment he was in a dilemma.

Zhi'er saw that Liu Bang was reluctant to send troops, thinking that he had no intention of saving his husband again. Turning around and angrily said to Han Shu, "Let's go, sister!" There is no need to beg them, there are soldiers and horses in South Korea, let's save our husbands ourselves! After saying that, he pulled Shu'er to leave!

As soon as Liu Bang heard Zhi'er's words, he immediately made up his mind! I saw that he had a firm expression, drew his sword, and then inserted it into the case, and shouted: "Lao Tzu can not be the king!" You can also do without this! But I can't do without the ovary! Send the order down, send troops on the same day, and attack Chen Liu first! Then approached Xianyang step by step, the more Lao Tzu hit, the more the Qin Dynasty did not dare to move the ovary! ”

Seeing that Liu Bang had made a decision, everyone was ordered to dress up!

Wait until the generals have retired and prepared. Zhi'er said apologetically to Liu Bang: "I'm sorry brother-in-law, I misunderstood you." ”

Liu Bang didn't mean to blame, but said softly: "Zhi'er, I'm your brother-in-law!" Your husband is my in-law, not to mention that the ovary is a great favor to me! I see him more like a brother. If there was no ovary, there would be no Liu Bang today. I tried my best to save him. I'm worried about you and the princess right now. The safety of both of you is more important than anything else! If the two of you have a mistake, how do I deal with the ovary? So this time, you two are not allowed to travel with the army! ”

Hearing that Liu Bang didn't let them pass, Shu'er and Zhi'er were a little anxious! They all said that they must go out with the army. They can't wait to go to Xianyang now and rescue their lover as soon as possible.

How could Liu Bang not know what the two of them were thinking, but for the sake of their safety, he had to persuade Han Shu first: "Princess, King Han is unwell now." You deserve to take care of it. Then he turned to Lu Zhi and said, "Zhi'er, you will accompany the princess well, if you lose your husband, she will also lose her husband." I'll send someone to bring your eldest sister and second sister. Wait until they arrive. King Han is in good health, and you will go together to my army. Is it okay to go into the Xianyang Rescue Room together? ”

After listening to Liu Bang's arrangement, Han Shu and Lu Zhi felt very reasonable. Although I was reluctant, I had no choice but to agree.

After the two of them left, Xiao He went and returned.

"Pei Gong, there is nothing wrong with attacking Chen Liuben, there is plenty of grain and grass there, which is just right for us to expand our recruitment of troops and horses! But Chen Liuyi is easy to defend and difficult to attack. I'm afraid it will be difficult to take it with our current forces, so do you have a countermeasure? ”

Liu Bang didn't care about Chen Liu's strength. just smiled and replied: "The ovary once said that I left a person in Chenliu, and said that he could help me achieve a great cause." ”

When Xiao He heard this, he asked puzzledly: "Who is it, so powerful?" ”

Liu Bang's smile stopped at this time, looking very helpless. Because he didn't know the other person's name either. I saw him spread his hands and said, "The ovary said that it was a Gaoyang drunkard ......"-

The Song Yi army of Chu was on its way to rescue Zhao at this time.

The army marched to Anyang but stopped. After that, it was switched to salt-free. Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng were puzzled. After a few days. Xiang Yu couldn't bear it anymore, and after discussing with Fan Zeng, he planned to speak to Song Yi.

"General, we were ordered to save Zhao Guo, and we should cross the river quickly. In one go, he should cooperate with Zhao Jun inside and outside, and attack Qin Jun. In this way, the Qin army will definitely be defeated! But why are you standing still? As soon as Xiang Yu saw Song Yi, he put forward his opinion.

Song Yiben was unwilling to do so under Xiang Liang, so he had a lot of resentment towards Xiang Liang. Because he foresaw the defeat of Xiang Liang's army, the king of Chu felt that he had unique insights and was familiar with the art of war, so he made an exception and reused it. Now that he saw that Xiang Yu was more arrogant than Xiang Liang, he replied unhappily: "The Qin army is gaining momentum, we should avoid its edge!" Let Qin Jun and Zhao Jun fight to defeat both! If the Qin army wins, we will strike at its weary army. If the Qin army is defeated, we will take advantage of the situation and drive straight into the sky and overthrow the tyrannical Qin in one fell swoop! Wearing armor and holding a blade, this general may not be as good as you, but if you are strategizing and using good strategy, you are far behind! ”

Xiang Yu was furious when he heard this, but after all, because of the difference in position, he had to swallow his anger and return to the camp!

As soon as Fan Zeng saw Xiang Yu's angry return, he already knew the result. Without waiting for him to open his mouth to persuade him, he saw Xiang Yu's general Long He enter the tent.

After the dragon entered the account, he didn't say a word, as if he was extremely angry.

Xiang Yu saw that he wanted to speak and stopped, and said, "Long And! You have grown up with me since childhood, and you should know my temper, and if you have anything to say! Don't be so twisted. ”

When Long Ji heard this, he clenched his fists and replied: "General, military advisor!" Then Song Yishi ordered to behead those who entered the army without authorization! And I have heard that the army came here to escort his son to assist the king of Qi. In the past few days, it has been cold and rainy, and the sergeants have nothing to eat! He's still feasting guests......"

Before Long finished speaking, Xiang Yu was already furious. I saw him smash the case in front of him with a punch, and then shouted loudly: "I vow to kill this thief!" ”

When Fan Zeng heard this, he hurriedly clapped his hands and applauded, and then said to Xiang Yu urgently: "General, you killed Song Yi, immediately march to break Qin, and then avoid Zhang Han!" Take Xianyang directly, remember, the one who enters the customs first is the king! (To be continued.) )
