Chapter 183: Changes in the Banquet
When everyone heard Zhang Liang's words, they immediately cast surprised glances at him.
Fan Zeng heard Zhang Liang say that it was a waste, and he also stared at the other party with sideways eyes.
Everyone was confused about Zhang Liang's words. Emperor Yi saw that he seemed to have a different opinion, which was exactly what he wanted. So he hurriedly asked, "What is Zhang Situ's waste?" Is there another solution? It's better to say it and let everyone compare it together! ”
I saw Zhang Liang inserting his hands into his sleeves, looking lazy. Seeing that everyone was already looking at him, he said slowly: "It is naturally a great waste to disband those 100,000 troops on the spot. You need to know that they have lived in the border pass for a long time, and often fought against the Huns! There is no one more suitable to guard the border than them. If they are disbanded, who will stop the Xiongnu from attacking? Even if soldiers and horses are sent to garrison, it is not possible to be familiar with the tactics of the Xiongnu and be able to compete with them. At that time, it will only be the people of the Central Plains who will suffer! It is better to take them for your own use, which is the best policy. ”
The truth that Zhang Liang said is well known, but it is not easy to surrender this soldier and horse. Even if Ziying is disbanded by an edict as Fan Zeng said, they may not be able to really achieve it, let alone surrender.
When Fan Zeng heard Zhang Liang's suggestion, he immediately smiled and said, "The ovary is very long-term. But it is difficult to subdue this Qin army. You need to know that they only have military orders in their eyes, could it be that your so-called surrender is to let them go free and let them abide by their duties? It's like sleeping with a tiger. ”
In the face of Fan Zeng's inquiry, Zhang Liang looked very disdainful, and when everyone was still picking on Zhang Liang's idea, he had already taken out something from his sleeve. Then it was displayed in front of everyone.
When Emperor Yi, Fan Zeng and others saw what Zhang Liang was holding, they were all shocked. Liu Bang didn't know what Zhang Liang was doing, so he immediately stepped forward and asked, "Ovary, what is this?" ”
Zhang Liang smiled slightly, then reclaimed the item and replied: "This is a special tiger talisman for the Qin Dynasty to command the soldiers and horses at the border pass. It can be said that with one charm in hand, 100,000 soldiers and horses will follow you! As soon as the copper tiger appears, the border will change at any time! ”
Zhang Liang's playful words were like thunder in everyone's ears. The problem of the border pass is a sudden change at the moment, and no one expected that Zhang Liang would actually have the command to control this soldier and horse. It is no exaggeration to say that if Zhang Liang goes to the border with this talisman, then he can be a soil emperor there.
Fan Zeng looked at Zhang Liang, who was smiling as usual. At this moment, he knew very well in his heart that he had lost this game. But he didn't have the heart to pay attention to the result at all, he was more worried about the tiger talisman in Zhang Liang's hand.
Liu Bang is mixed with joy and sorrow at the moment. The joy is that his son doesn't have to be a proton! Sadly, Zhang Liang won completely recklessly, which is tantamount to Xiang Yu declaring war.
The happiest person in the tent is the righteous emperor. The tiger talisman is in the hands of Zhang Liang, and it will not only solve the matter of soldiers and horses at the border pass. And the final competition was won by Zhang Liang, which means that Liu Bang is already the master of Guanzhong.
Just when everyone was still envious of Zhang Liang for having this tiger talisman that commanded the soldiers and horses, a group of sergeants suddenly rushed in outside the big tent, and their speed was so fast that the princes in the tent were caught off guard. And the person who led the troops was Xiang Yu's general Long And!
Looking at the sudden changes in front of them, Emperor Yi and the princes were all shocked. They didn't expect Xiang Yu to really dare to mutiny.
"Fan Zeng! What do you mean by that? This Hongmen night banquet is a banquet for me to reward meritorious officials, you dare to let the soldiers enter the account with blades?! What do you want?! Was this Xiang Yu's idea? ”
Emperor Yi looked a little annoyed at this time, but unfortunately he didn't have much confidence in what he said. Fan Zeng was very calm in the face of Emperor Yi's accountability. Only after seeing the changes in the faces of the people in the tent did he slowly reply: "This matter has nothing to do with the general." It is completely the old man's intention, the old man wants to clear the king's side today, except for the ministers. ”
I heard that Fan Zeng wanted to clear the king's side and remove the ministers. The princes deliberately distanced themselves from Liu Bang. Because they knew in their hearts that the main cause of this change was the dispute between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu in Guanzhong. At this moment, the soldiers are even more aimed at Liu Bang. So they tried to keep their distance from Liu Bang, hoping not to get into trouble.
Liu Bang and Fan Xu saw the posture of Long and the sergeant, and quickly strengthened their vigilance. Both of them were extremely cautious at this time, facing the Chu army that was eyeing them.
After Zhang Liang listened to Fan Zeng's remarks, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "Old Fan, are you going to blow out the lamp and pull out the candles, turn your face and see the truth?" ”
Fan Zeng didn't make any response to Zhang Liang's question, but still stared at the other party coldly.
The other party's silent answer made Zhang Liang decide not to talk to him anymore. He turned to Emperor Yi and asked, "Your Majesty, today's matter has come to such a point, I can only hope that you will uphold justice." Your 50,000 forbidden troops are stationed in the big camp, is it all decoration? ”
When Emperor Yi heard Zhang Liang's words, he immediately shouted: "Fan Zeng! If you insist on going your own way again, don't blame me for being ruthless! This time, Emperor Yi's tone was extremely harsh, and it highlighted a bit of domineering.
But Fan Zeng behaved very calmly about the threat of Emperor Yi. I saw him whisper to the outside of the tent, "Where is Yingbu?" ”
As soon as the words fell, Yingbu had already entered the tent, and as soon as he saw Fan Zeng, he clenched his fists and reported: "Military advisor, I have already followed your orders, I am afraid that there are ministers in the Praetorian Guard, and the last general has taken them all!" ”
Yingbu's words were like a thunderbolt, and Emperor Yi had been shaken a little unsteady at this time. His 50,000 Praetorian Guard sergeants were quietly solved by the other party. Not only was there no warning, but there was no sound at all. It was hard for him to believe. The only glimmer of hope left in his heart drove him to shout outside the tent: "Someone! Come on!! After Emperor Yi finished shouting, there was no sound or response outside the tent, and he completely fell into despair.
Zhang Liang and Yingbu had known each other for a long time, although he had also heard that Yingbu had returned to Xiang Yu, but he never expected to meet again in this situation. When Zhang Liang looked at Yingbu, he saw Yingbu secretly shaking his head at him, as if he was signaling something to him.
Regarding Yingbu's hints, Zhang Liang looked very depressed. He really didn't understand what the other party meant by shaking his head. Are you telling yourself not to be reckless? Or are you saying that you don't have any chance of winning?
After a brief period of speculation, Zhang Liang decided to ignore it. After all, he and Liu Bang must not sit still here. Although the changes in the situation were a little beyond his imagination, he still refused to give up, because he also had the trump card of Xiahou Ying.
"Fan Lao, you even dare to detain Emperor Yi's soldiers and horses, is there anything you dare not do in this world? Could it be that today you are going to bloody the Hongmen and slaughter everyone present?! “
Zhang Liang forcibly dragged the princes into the water for no reason, which made them cry bitterly. They didn't want to get involved in the fight between the two sides, but now they are completely in crisis, and it is really miserable. At this time, they were already thinking about whether to fight hard or sit back and watch the situation develop.
Fan Zeng saw that Zhang Liang wanted to force the princes to fight against him together, and said with a smile: "This matter has nothing to do with the princes. It's just a matter of you and me and Liu Bang. The old man will never kill innocents indiscriminately. The old man also wants to thank you, to be precise, who thank you for your ladies. It was they who taught the old man how to deal with those armies without blood. Also save the increase in unnecessary casualties. ”
Zhang Liangben was also wondering how Fan Zeng quietly took down the Righteous Emperor's Praetorian Guard, and after listening to Fan Zeng's words, he completely understood. The other party copied the method of solving Ji Bu, added food and wine with drugs and other items, and then entertained the soldiers and horses of the Yi Emperor, so as to take down all the other party. Thinking of this, Zhang Liang suddenly became a little scared, because Fan Zeng said that he learned it from his daughter-in-law, but Zhang Liang only mentioned this method to Ji Bu to Liu Bang and his capable subordinates, and it is said that Fan Zeng could not know. So there is only one possibility, someone told Fan Zeng, and that person is a person in Liu Bang's army!
"Old Fan, you have made such a careful arrangement, do you not plan to let me and Pei Gong go no matter what?"
Fan Zeng saw the straightforwardness of Zhang Liang's question, so he decided not to use code words anymore. "Zhang Zifang, if you respond to the old man's request in the third game and send Liu Bang's son to me as a proton, maybe the old man will consider letting you go. But you don't want to. And you still have a tiger talisman in your hand that can mobilize 100,000 Qin troops at the border, and the old man can't let you go. Today next year will be your death day! ”
As soon as Fan Zeng's words came out, the sergeant in the tent had already drawn out his sharp blade, and as soon as Fan Hao saw that the other party was going to make a move, he immediately pulled out his sword and blocked it in front of Liu Bang and Zhang Liang.
Seeing that a fight is inevitable. Emperor Yi suddenly said at this time: "Master Fan, if I am willing to make Xiang Yu the lord of Guanzhong. Can you let Liu Bang and Zhang Situ go today? He had given up the title of "I" at this time, and used the word "I" instead. In addition to being forced by the situation, he also hoped that his low profile could be exchanged for Fan Zeng's sympathy.
Seeing that Emperor Yi did not hesitate to condescend to make peace, Fan Zeng said with a smile: "How can Your Majesty depreciate yourself? Today's matter cannot be discussed, please forgive the old minister's disrespectful sin. ”
Zhang Liang had long expected that Fan Zeng would never change his mind because of Emperor Yi's low obedience. He casually said to Emperor Yi: "Your Majesty, why bother with him, today is just a death, just pull a few pads!" ”
Knowing that Zhang Liang wanted to pull the back, the princes were all surprised. They really didn't know what Zhang Liang was going to do. I just think he seems to have to be big.
Fan Zeng was very disdainful of Zhang Liang's words. Seeing his confident appearance, he suddenly burst out laughing. "Hahaha! Zhang Zifang, are you still waiting for Xiahou Ying's soldiers and horses? Do you want him to carry oil and fire utensils to force the old man to negotiate peace or force the princes to unite with you? Let me tell you the truth, Xiahou Ying's troops have been dragged by Zhong Liwu, and at this moment he is no longer close to the Hongmen camp, your plan has failed! “
After Liu Bang and the others listened to Fan Zeng's words, their hearts immediately seemed to sink to the bottom of the water. His last killer move has been completely solved by the other party. They don't stand a chance anymore! Zhang Liang was even more sure of his assumption at this time, there was a traitor in Liu Bang's army!
The storm changed abruptly, and there were many twists and turns; It's all their own plots, and they don't want to cause trouble in the backyard...... (To be continued.) )
