Chapter 155: Zongzi

In the big tent of the talks, the desk in front of Xiang Yu had been split into two sections by him. The air seemed to freeze at this moment. The Chu army guards in the tent had already drawn their swords, and they were all waiting for Xiang Yu's order.

Fan Xu was already standing in front of Zhang Liang the moment Xiang Yu drew his sword. He is like a solid wall, blocking all things and people that are not good for Zhang Liang.

Civil officials like Xiao He and Chen Ping were all trembling. Xiang Yu and Zhang Liang had a verbal battle, and it was obviously Xiang Yu who lost.

Fan Zeng was still unfazed, as if he didn't care about the upcoming fight in front of him. I saw him slowly look at a few guards, and then said in a deep voice, "What are you going to do?" Xiang will be in the right place to test the sword. Are you waiting to draw your sword to disobey the military order?! ”

Hearing Fan Zeng's words, the guards glanced at each other, and seeing that Xiang Yu didn't have any orders, they hurriedly withdrew their swords.

Xiang Yu had also woken up from the anger just now. A bloody battle was dissolved invisibly by Fan Zeng.

Fan Zeng did not let the Chu army move, because the soldiers in the Hangu Pass resisted after learning that Zhang Liang and others had been killed, and he did not know the remaining amount of gunpowder. Therefore, he still wanted to outwit and march to Xianyang. The most important thing is that he still has the trump card in his hand, so there is no need to fight each other at all.

"Zhang Situ, my army wants to enter Xianyang, not to be an enemy of Liu Hou, but to participate in the grand event. Now that the tyrannical Qin has died, it should be the time to divide the righteous armies of the princes from all walks of life, and it is the order of the righteous emperor to join Xianyang. How can you stand by the danger and prevent the rebels from entering? ”

After listening to Fan Zeng's words, Zhang Liang was immediately impressed by the other party's old scheming. Only Fan Zeng could come up with such an impeccable excuse.

"Since Fan Junshi said that it was the order of the righteous emperor, then how dare I disobey it. It's just that your army doesn't seem to have come to join in the grand event, but to fight. Not to mention anything else, it can be seen that the dragon is shouting and scolding outside the gate every day. He's completely here to find bad luck. ”

Fan Zeng slowly moved his gaze to Long Ji. Zhang Liang also focused his attention on the other party. He thought that Long He would be speechless or difficult to speak, but he never thought that the other party would actually reply calmly: "Did Zhang Situ have a misunderstanding?" When I arrived outside the gate, I made my identity clear, but the guards refused to let us in. The last general was angry and scolded a few words. And the war between the two sides was only because of friction and misunderstanding between the soldiers. ”

Seeing that the other party opened his eyes and said nonsense, Fan Hao was already furious. Zhang Liang hurriedly stopped Fan Xu, still with a smile on his face. For he knew that he did not speak to himself. Instead, he told himself that when he arrived at the place of Emperor Yi, he said this way.

Zhang Liang could only look beyond the other party's cunning, but then he asked again: "Since it was a misunderstanding before, why do you want Chen Bing to go outside Hangu Pass with 300,000 soldiers now, didn't Fan Junshi want to tell me that your army is going to Xianyang for dinner?" “

Fan Zeng heard Zhang Liang's rhetorical question. Immediately put on a look of embarrassment. Said: "This can only be blamed on Zhang Situ, General Xiang originally wanted to let the army be stationed in the distance after arriving at Hangu Pass, but he learned that Long Ji's 50,000 troops were completely wiped out by you overnight, so he had no choice but to bring troops to come, for the safety of the generals of the Chu army and the princes of all walks of life." “

After listening to the other party's explanation, Zhang Liang shook his head with a wry smile. Speaking of which, in the end, I still talked about myself. "Then since this is the case, if we let all the princes enter the customs. Will the 300,000-strong army not go with it? Zhang Liang asked tentatively. No, the situation is unclear now. I don't know if there are still remnants of the Qin Dynasty in Guanzhong, and the safety of our generals must be guaranteed, so the army must enter the pass, of course, not to fight Liu Hou, but for the safety of the princes. “

Fan Zeng's answer made Zhang Liang completely lose his patience. "If 300,000 troops are going to enter the customs, then we can only talk about this. If the military advisor changes his mind, he can naturally come to us again and say goodbye! After Zhang Liang finished speaking, he got up and wanted to leave, he planned to end this boring meeting.

But before Zhang Liang left the big tent, he heard Fan Zeng laugh behind his back: "I have already sent someone to invite King Han." He is also one of the princes, and in the battle of Julu, the Korean princess took the lead, and she is really a model of the righteous army. I believe that their arrival will make Zhang Situ believe in our sincerity. “

Zhang Liang's biggest fear is to hear the other party tell him the news, although he knows that this is a sure fact, but the unrealistic fantasy in his heart makes him anxious to leave, as if he didn't hear the other party say it himself, this matter doesn't exist.

Now, Zhang Liang must face reality. He looked at Fan Zeng resentfully, his eyes were full of murderous aura. At this moment, he couldn't wait to rush up and die with the other party.

When Xiao He saw Zhang Liang's expression, he hurriedly pulled him back to his original position, and said to Fan Zeng at the same time: "Fan Junshi, since it is a grand event together, and we have to take into account the safety of the princes, can't I, Liu Hou, protect everyone?" If it is as you said, wouldn't there be a large army pressing the border, forcing the fear of Pei Gong to give up Xianyang. “

When Fan Zeng heard this, he smiled casually: "Xiao He, you are too worried, my army entered the city not only for the safety of the princes, but also for the momentum of the Zhuangyi Emperor." Since the Qin Dynasty has fallen, Emperor Yi will come in person, so how can we, as courtiers, not think about the emperor. “

The dialogue between Fan Zeng and Xiao He brought the talks between the two sides to a complete impasse, and Zhang Liang had no idea at this time. His heart was as if it was tightly held in someone's hands, and he couldn't die, and he couldn't live.

Xiang Yu and Long He were very proud when they saw Zhang Liang and the others, if they could enter Hangu Pass without blood, then Xianyang would be as if they were in their hands.

Just when the Chu army in the tent felt that they were sure of victory, a familiar voice suddenly came from outside the tent. "Master Fan, if I want Liu Bang to switch anything, don't say it's a pass, even if you let Xianyang go, but please immediately withdraw the soldiers and horses that went to invite King Han."

As soon as the words fell, Liu Bang had already entered the tent with Xiahou Ying. No one would have thought that he would leave Xianyang and go to the front line. His appearance made the situation confusing again.

As soon as Zhang Liang, Fan Xu, and Xiao He saw Liu Bang arrive, they hurriedly got up to greet them. "Pei Gong! You're crazy, this is the land of tigers and wolves, why did you come here in person? Zhang Liang was very anxious about Liu Bang's arrival.

Liu Bang looked at the three of them and smiled slightly, and then said to Zhang Liang: "I know everything, give them whatever they want." Don't forget, one of your two daughters-in-law is still my sister-in-law. I, Liu Bang, am not a stingy person, isn't it just a throne? Give them that's it. "What Liu Hou said, we said it was just for the grand event."

After listening to Fan Zeng's words, Liu Bang looked extremely disdainful. "No matter what your purpose is, as long as you promise to withdraw the soldiers and horses besieging Handu, I, Liu Bang, will do what I say."

When Xiang Yu heard this, he was about to make a statement, but was stopped by Fan Zeng. "Liu Hou is wrong again, we are going to invite King Han to come, why not besiege him."

As soon as Liu Bang and the others heard Fan Zeng's meaning, it was clear that they refused to retreat. Zhang Liang couldn't bear it anymore, so he pointed at Fan Zeng and reprimanded: "Fan Zeng, you have repeatedly used this as a means, what kind of man are you, you are shameless to the extreme." Do you want Xiang Yu to enter the customs and be the king of the guanzhong? Dream!! “

As soon as Fan Zeng saw that Zhang Liang had already made his words clear, he simply stopped playing Tai Chi. "Zhang Zifang, since you and Liu Bang have arrived here today, I can't help you. Whether you agree or not, I can let Hangu Pass open the door for my army! “

Zhang Liang also reacted at this time, if the other party held Liu Bang hostage to the front of the pass, he could naturally force the defenders to open the pass.

The changes in an instant put Liu Bang and the others in a desperate situation, and the soldiers of the Chu army were already gearing up at this time, as if they were planning to make a move.

Suddenly, Zhang Liang unbuttoned his shirt. I saw that there was a circle of bamboo-like objects tied to his underwear, and at the same time, there was an extra fold in his hand that ignited the fire. When everyone saw it, they were all shocked.

"Fan Zeng, since you don't talk about credit, then simply everyone will die together! What I have on me is the gunpowder that killed the dragon and the army of 50,000 overnight. As long as I have a little, no one in the tent will be spared. Would you like to try it? “

Zhang Liang's words were like a thunderclap, and everyone present was shocked.

Fan Zeng looked at Long Ji, as if asking for the authenticity of Zhang Liang's words. And after Long He heard Zhang Liang say that the thing on his body was that special weapon, he was already frightened, and his body involuntarily leaned back, as if he was ready to flee at any time. There was horror and fear written in his eyes.

Seeing Long Ji's actions, Fan Zeng knew that the other party was not lying. But after an instant, he said to Zhang Liang: "Zhang Zifang! The old man doesn't believe that you dare to drag Liu Bang to die together! ”

When Zhang Liang heard Fan Zeng's words, he immediately smiled and asked Liu Bang, "Pei Gong, what do you mean?" ”

I saw Liu Bang smile slightly, as if he was not afraid of death at all. "When I first arrived at the pass, I had already heard Zhou Bo tell me about the power of your gunpowder, but unfortunately I had never seen it. I just took this opportunity to meet and learn with General Xiang and Fan Junshi. ”

Liu Bang's answer put Fan Zeng in a dilemma. But Xiang Yu looked very disdainful, he was not a person who was afraid of death, seeing Zhang Liang threatening death, he said: "Zhang Zifang, you just have to order it, will I, Xiang Yu, be afraid that you won't succeed!" ”

Fan Zeng saw that Xiang Yu still planned to make a move, and immediately began to think about a solution. "Zhang Zifang, aren't you afraid that after everyone dies, your two wives and unborn children will be buried for us?!" He still planned to threaten Zhang Liang with the safety of Han Shu and Lu Zhi. But this time his calculation fell through.

Zhang Liang did not hesitate at all, and instantly lit the fire fold, and at the same time approached the fuse. "As long as you die, I believe that Shu'er and Zhi'er will be able to abolish your 50,000 soldiers and horses!"

The two sides have become a fire and water, and both sides are difficult to ride tigers. At the time of the crisis, a Chu army soldier suddenly entered outside the big tent, and as soon as he entered the camp, he bowed to Fan Zeng and said: "Qiqi military advisor, all the soldiers and horses you sent to besiege Han Capital have been disarmed, and they have all become prisoners of King Han's ranks. ”

After listening to the other party's report, Fan Zeng immediately asked in surprise: "What did you say?!" How did you hear this?! ”

I saw that the sergeant took off his helmet, and his beautiful long hair immediately appeared in front of everyone. Then he smiled sweetly at Zhang Liang, and at the same time replied softly: "Because I tied them into zongzi." (To be continued.) )
