For two days, Zhang Liang was inseparable from his two wives. They cherish the time together, but at the same time sigh that time flies inexorably.

Finally, it was time for the agreed departure. After reluctantly saying goodbye to Han Shu and Lu Zhi, Zhang Liang took a hundred light horsemen and embarked on a journey to Pengcheng with Ji Bu.

Along the way, Zhang Liang's guards and Ji Bu rarely rested. Zhang Liang is to arrive as soon as possible, while Ji Bu wants to get rid of the "evil star" next to him as soon as possible!

"Zhang Zifang, why did you go to see Emperor Yi? Isn't there something unseemly about it? ”

Hearing Ji Bu ask himself a question, Zhang Liang was surprised. Because this is the first time since the departure that the other party has spoken to himself.

"Jibu, I told you. What I went to do with Emperor Yi has nothing to do with you. But since you are so curious, I can reveal one thing to you, my trip is also extremely beneficial to your Xiang Jiajun. ”

Hearing Zhang Liang's words, Ji Bu was even more confused. Zhang Liang has been fighting against Xiang Jiajun, but at this time he said that it would be beneficial for Xiang Jiajun to go to Emperor Yi. Ji Bu kept looking at Zhang Liang beside him, not knowing which sentence the other party said was true and which sentence was false.

The cavalry was fast, and Zhang Liang and his party were traveling day and night. Soon, the crowd arrived at the territory of Pengcheng. When they approached the city gates, suddenly the guards on the walls were tightened and the gates were closed.

Just when Zhang Liang and the others were confused, they suddenly heard the defenders on the city wall shouting at them: "Someone who comes to report their names, soldiers and horses must not come forward again!" ”

As soon as he heard the other party ask about his origin, Ji Bu immediately stepped forward and replied: "I am Ji Bu, a general under the command of the general, and I am specially ordered to come to ask for the will of Emperor Yi. Don't hesitate, open the gates quickly. ”

When the sergeant defending the city heard that it was Jibu, he hurried to find someone to confirm his identity. After the people who knew Ji Bu confirmed, the defenders in the city asked again: "General Ji, are the sergeants behind you your guards?" ”

Ji Bu looked back at Zhang Liang and the others, and he suddenly realized that if he shouted that the other party was an enemy at this time, he might be able to annihilate more than 100 people. At that time, not only can you take revenge, but you can also eradicate a big enemy for the Xiang family's army.

But before he could make a decision, Zhang Liang seemed to see his thoughts, and whispered to him: "Do you want to be a single general, and you don't want an army of 50,000?" Whether we'll die or not is unknown, and I promise you'll die! ”

After listening to Zhang Liang's words, Ji Bu realized that he still had a large army in the hands of others. After weighing left and right, Jibu finally shouted to the defenders, "They are my bodyguards. ”

After receiving Ji Bu's affirmation, the defenders immediately opened the city gates, and then the sergeants went out of the city to lead the people. When they passed through the market and arrived at the Pengcheng Palace, they saw many soldiers guarding the palace gate.

"General, if you want to see Your Majesty, you need to untie your sword, and you can only carry one attendant."

After listening to the words of the gatekeeper, Ji Bu immediately looked back at Zhang Liang. It's like asking him what he thinks.

Zhang Liang thought for a moment, then nodded lightly in response.

After Ji Bu and Zhang Liang removed their swords, they went to the main hall with their attendants.

"Please stay here later, Your Majesty will summon you later." After the chamberlain finished speaking, he left on his own.

Only Ji Bu and Zhang Liang were left in the huge main hall. Zhang Liang kept looking around, only to feel that the main hall of the righteous emperor was a little too shabby. After all, he has seen the world, although this place may be better than the Han Palace, but if it is compared with the Xianyang Qin Palace, it is really a hemp rope to tofu - Sensei!

"Zhang Zifang, you and I are in the Palace of Emperor Yi now. It can be said that fate has been tied together, don't you want to say why you want to see Emperor Yi now? ”

Zhang Liang heard that Ji Bu was still obsessed with wanting to know his own intentions, and he admired the curiosity of this sturdy brave general.

"Jibu, since you want to know so much. Then I will tell you, I suspect that Emperor Yi used the strategy of two tigers to compete for food, provoking your Xiang family's army and Pei Gong's army to fight each other, so that he can benefit from it. So, I'm going to ask him the truth. ”

As soon as he heard Zhang Liang's words, Ji Bu's heart immediately trembled. "You mean it's all a conspiracy of the Righteous Emperor?"

"Jibu, you don't need me to remind you to pay attention to your words, do you? Although Emperor Yi is a puppet pushed out by your Xiang family's forces, he is also the master of the righteous army in the world. It doesn't seem like a good word for you to use conspiracy, does it? ”

Seeing Zhang Liang playing word games with himself, Ji Bu seemed very impatient. "Zhang Zifang, don't be alarmist. My Xiang family army is loyal to Emperor Yi, how could he use such a scheme against us?! And again......"

Without waiting for Ji Bu to finish speaking, Zhang Liangbei directly grabbed the conversation and continued: "Besides, you are so strong, you don't take him as the righteous emperor in your eyes at all, right?" ”

Hearing Zhang Liang's words, Ji Bu did not respond, just stared at the other party coldly. But it's also a wordless reply.

Seeing Ji Bu's cold and arrogant expression, Zhang Liang immediately sneered and said, "It is because of your strength that Emperor Yi is worried." Haven't you heard of the Lord? If you were the righteous emperor, would you be willing to be a puppet at the mercy of others? Although you have no plan, I believe that you are not stupid, since Emperor Yi decreed that the first person to enter the pass be the king, this is already the beginning of this conspiracy! Think for yourself! ”

Gibb fell silent, he pondered the other man's words repeatedly. As a result, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Zhang Liang's words were right, but he still refused to bow to Zhang Liang. "What if what you say is true? My Xiang family's army is invincible, how can a mere Liu Bang stop our army! ”

Seeing that Ji Bu was still a dead duck with a hard mouth, Zhang Liang directly refuted: "You can be regarded as the top of the shameless people I have ever seen!" If you don't brag, can you die? Your Xiang Yu has an army of 400,000, but Fan Zeng wants to divide your troops to let you surround Han Du to blackmail me, which means that their attack is blocked! First of all, now that your 50,000 army is gone, Long Ji's 50,000 is gone, and Xiang Yu has 300,000 left. And Liu Bang has 100,000 soldiers and horses in the pass, even if you win in the end, the price I want to pay will be very large! Have you forgotten that Emperor Yi still has one of Lu Wang's soldiers and horses in his hand. Do you want to be a cunning rabbit or a lackey?! “

When Ji Bu heard this, he was already sweating. He is not afraid of the battlefield fighting, but he is very afraid of this insidious strategy.

"If it's really as you say, then you came to question Emperor Yi, wouldn't you send sheep into the tiger's mouth?!"

Hearing Ji Bu's doubts, Zhang Liang smiled casually: "So I want you to come with me, first of all, you are good; Second, you and I represent Xiang Yu and Liu Bang respectively, do you think he will offend both families at once?! ”

It was only at this time that Ji Bu discovered that the most insidious thing was Zhang Liang in front of him. Not only did he drag himself into the water, but he also used his strength to fight. But Ji Bu had no time to take care of this, because the situation Zhang Liang said was the most dangerous.

"Do you want to use the power of you and me to restrain Emperor Yi, so as to relieve Liu Bang?"

All of Zhang Liang's intentions had been understood by Ji Bu, but he didn't seem to care. "To be precise, to lift the siege between our two families, could it be that you want to see what I said happen?"

As Xiang Yu's general, Ji Bu certainly didn't want to see what Zhang Liang said, but he still had doubts about Zhang Liang's plan. "What if Emperor Yi kills the two of us in Pengcheng?"

"That's why I asked you to say that you came to ask for an order from Xiang Yu, do you think Emperor Yi will be stupid enough to do it?"

Ji Bu realized at this time that Zhang Liang's scheming was so deep. But he is very glad that at least now Zhang Liang is on the same line with him. After a short period of thought, he replied firmly: "Good! Zhang Zifang, I, Jibu, will join hands with you once. I hope you really have the ability to defuse the crisis between our two families! ”

Hearing that Ji Bu was willing to cooperate with him, Zhang Liang immediately smiled and said: "There are no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, only eternal interests." ”

Not long after the two reached a consensus, the chamberlain appeared in front of them. "Two generals, Emperor Yi has a will, announce that the two will enter the inner hall to meet each other."

Zhang Liang and Ji Bu exchanged glances in an instant, and then followed the chamberlain into the inner hall.

As soon as I entered the inner hall, I saw Emperor Yi Xin sitting upright in the hall. When Ji Bu and Zhang Liang saw each other, they hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.

When Emperor Yi saw Ji Bu coming, he immediately smiled and said, "I heard that General Ji came on the general's military order, I don't know what happened?" ”

Before Ji Bu could reply, Zhang Liang took the lead and said, "The general asked Emperor Yi to mediate the fight with Liu Bang. Who should belong to the land of Guanzhong, please also ask Your Majesty to make it clear. “

Because Zhang Liang bowed his head, Emperor Yi did not see his appearance clearly. Hearing him say that he wanted to clarify the ownership of the land in Guanzhong, Mi Xin replied casually: "I have a word first, and the one who enters Guanzhong first is the king." The land in the middle of the pass naturally belongs to Liu Bang. ”

When Zhang Liang heard Mi Xin's words, he immediately bowed down and said: "Since this is the case, I implore Emperor Yi to issue an order to make Liu Bang the king of Guanzhong." The last general will also go back to his life. ”

When Ji Bu heard Zhang Liang's words, he almost jumped up in a hurry. If Emperor Yi really issued an order, it would be to recognize Liu Bang's status, and if Xiang Yu's army attacked again, it would be disobeying Emperor Yi's will. At this time, Ji Bu secretly complained in his heart, he really never thought that Zhang Liang would actually push the boat down the river and want Liu Bang to sit in Xianyang. He was about to speak out to dissuade him, but he suddenly heard Emperor Yi Xin speak first, because he was more anxious than Ji Bu.

"I have already stated that I need any will. Doesn't my words count?! ”

Emperor Jianyi was slightly annoyed and rejected Zhang Liang's request, and Ji Bu was a little calmer. But Zhang Liang didn't give him a chance to breathe at all, followed by surprising words.

"Your Majesty refuses to give an order, because you are afraid that after the order, Xiang Yu will point the finger at Your Majesty? Are you still afraid that this will ruin your plan to compete with the two tigers?! ”

When Mi Xin heard the other party's words, he immediately got up angrily. After a while, he roared at Zhang Liang: "Bold! Who are you? How dare you criticize me! ”

Zhang Liang saw that Qi Xin was already annoyed, and immediately raised his chest and looked at him proudly. Then he replied coldly: "Korean Situ Zhang Zifang, see Emperor Yi!" (To be continued.) )
