Li Zuoche planned to put up a banquet in prison, and the overlord of Chu was suspicious of his father Fan Zeng!

After discussing all the plans with Han Xin, Chen Ping immediately set off and began to return to Korea. In addition to being afraid of encountering the Chu envoy, the purpose of the pen fun pavilion www.biquge.info was because there was an important action, and he wanted to discuss it with Zhang Liang and Liu Bang.

On the day Han Xin sent Chen Ping away, he began to leave Qi with some of his sergeants on the pretext of inspecting Qi State. And his purpose is also very clear, firstly, to be able to arrange the deployment of the Qi State, and secondly, he deliberately began to evade the Chu envoy.

On the third day after Han Xin left Qidu, the Chu envoy really came to Qidu. And Li Zuoche, who learned the news, received the other party on behalf of Han Xin according to the plan that had been discussed long ago.

"Under Li Zuoche, the king of Qi is under the captain. The Chu envoy came from afar, it was really hard. ”

As soon as the Chu envoy saw Li Zuoche coming to greet him, he hurriedly returned the salute to the other party. After the ceremony was over, he asked anxiously: "It turns out that Guangwujun is rude." I came here to make friends with Qi Chu, I wonder if Guangwu Jun can introduce King Qi to the next place? ”

Hearing that the other party wanted to see the King of Qi, Li Zuoche immediately showed a look of regret, and after sighing slightly, he heard him say slowly: "Don't hide it from the envoy of Chu, my king just led his troops to inspect the passes of Qi three days ago. This Qi country has just been pacified, and there are still many places that need to be laid out and arranged, so 。。。。。 ”

Knowing that Han Xin was not in Qidu, the Chu envoy immediately showed a lost look. When Li Zuoche saw the other party's expression, he hurriedly stepped forward and whispered: "Please rest assured that the envoy of Chu has explained, if the envoy of Chu comes, let me entertain him well." Moreover, the matter of friendship between the two countries can also be simply answered below. ”

When the Chu envoy heard Li Zuoche's words, he immediately showed joy, but only a moment later, he had a new question.

"Listening to Guangwujun's words, it seems that King Qi already knows that he is coming? In that case, why can't King Qi wait a few days later? ”

Li Zuoche heard Chu Envoy's question and immediately laughed. After the laughter, he whispered again: "I can't hide it, the last time General Zhong Liwu came to see my king, the two talked very happily. And since the departure of General Zhongli, my king has guessed that your country will send envoys again. It's just that the specific date can't be known, and border defense is a priority, so my king can only deal with military affairs first, but when he left, he told me a thousand things about receiving the Chu envoy, so that you and I can live in harmony. ”

Hearing Li Zuoche's words, Chu was relieved. At this moment, he no longer had any worries, and after thanking him, he followed the other party into the Qi Palace.

As soon as the two entered the Qi Palace, Li Zuoche immediately ordered someone to prepare a banquet, and before the banquet began, he called several singing and dancing beauties for entertainment.

Seeing that the other party was so hospitable, Chu Envoy was suddenly overjoyed in his heart. After expressing his gratitude to Li Zuoche, he began to relax and indulge in pleasure.

When he was young, the chamberlain brought the feast utensils and part of the meal. When the Chu envoy saw the specifications of the banquet, he was immediately a little at a loss. It's just because Li Zuoche is setting up a prison banquet at this time. This prison banquet was originally a standard banquet used by the emperor when he sacrificed to Sheji. If this specification is used to entertain guests, it will undoubtedly be the most honorable banquet in the world.

"Guangwujun is really too polite. He is just a little-known official in Western Chu, how can he afford this banquet of the prison?! Besides, this banquet is too noble, and it is really deserved! ”

Seeing that the Chu envoy began to be humble and polite, Li Zuoche hurriedly smiled and waved his hand. After the banquet utensils were ready, he slowly said to the envoy of Chu: "Since your lord is the envoy of Western Chu, he is naturally very important. This banquet is well deserved. I just hope that after you go back, you can say a few more good words for my Qi country, and then let Fan Lao put forward some favorable conditions for my king in front of the overlord, then my Qi country will naturally be grateful. ”

After listening to Li Zuoche's words, Chu Envoy immediately stopped on the spot. At this moment, he was already a little confused, because he didn't understand what the other party meant.

"I don't know what Guangwujun means by this? Xia Guan was assigned by the overlord and came to the alliance on purpose. Why do you want to let the subordinate go to Fan Junshi to speak favorably? ”

Chu Envoy did not hesitate to express the doubts in his heart, and Li Zuoche immediately put on a surprised look after listening to the other party's words. After he looked the Chu envoy up and down many times, he asked in surprise, "Isn't Your Excellency the person sent by Fan Yafu?" But what I, Wang Mingming, and General Zhongli said。。。。。。。 ”

Just when Li Zuoche was halfway through his words, he suddenly stopped his voice and made a look of remorse. After hearing the other party's words, Chu Envoy immediately felt a layer of doubt in his heart, and at the same time, his face became extremely ugly.

"Since Your Excellency is sent by the Overlord, we should naturally be more hospitable. Shicai is just a loss of words in the next moment, and I hope your Excellency will not be surprised. ”

Although Li Zuoche tried his best to explain at this time, the Chu envoy no longer believed his words at all. After Li Zuoche saw that the other party was still full of suspicion, he immediately said that he still had government affairs to deal with, and then retreated.

Seeing that the other party had left, Chu Envoy immediately began to think carefully about the matter. And just as he was in deep thought, the Kabuki who had come to serve him had secretly left, and the banquet that had already been halfway through it had suddenly stopped.

The changes in the banquet made Chu Envoy a little annoyed, but he finally suppressed his anger and casually planned to find out. But just as he got up and was about to look for Li Zuoche, he suddenly heard a whispering conversation outside the hall.

In order to hear the source of the voice, the Chu envoy quietly approached the temple gate. And when he found out that one of the voices was Li Zuoche, he quickly paused his figure, and at the same time began to listen to the other party's words.

"My lord, this feast is already halfway through, can it really stop like this?"

"Well, go ahead and prepare the feast. After King Qi returns, the official will go and explain! However, there is no need to send this dancing girl anymore, after all, the Chu envoy is not the person sent by Fan Lao! Alas, it's all because I didn't ask the other party who sent it in advance to make such a joke, but the king and General Zhongli obviously made an appointment to be sent by Fan Lao, why did they suddenly change to the overlord's people? ”

When the Chu envoy heard the conversation between the two, he immediately understood the identity of the other party, one of them was already convinced that it was Li Zuoche, and the other person should be the official in charge of the banquet in the palace. As for the content of the conversation between the two, it also made him completely understand the truth of the matter, but this truth made him feel creepy.

After the banquet was over, Li Zuoche resumed entertaining the Chu envoys. But Chu Envoy was like an arrow at the moment, so he just routinely conveyed the friendliness of the overlord, and then he resolutely planned to leave on the grounds that he still had important matters at home.

Seeing that the Chu envoy insisted on leaving, Li Zuoche had to stay again and again. can see that the other party has made up his mind, so he had to obey the other party's wishes, and at the same time gave the other party some simple gifts to pay tribute to the overlord.

After the Chu envoy left the Qi capital, Li Zuoche immediately sent someone to inform Han Xin of the incident. And Han Shin learned that the plan was successful. began to arrange the defense of the Qi State with peace of mind, and at the same time thought about how to subdue the Yan State.

---------

After Xiang Yu sent the Chu envoy, he began to think about whether to make peace with Fan Zeng again. It's a pity that he can't let go of the overlord's face after all, so the matter has to be postponed again and again.

Just when Xiang Yu was alone in examining the situation in the Central Plains and thinking about how to attack Korea, the Chu envoy who went to Qi came back. And after Xiang Yu learned that the other party had come back so quickly, he immediately summoned the other party to the palace, intending to ask all the details of the trip.

After seeing Xiang Yu, the Chu envoy immediately knelt on the ground and began to plead guilty.

Xiang Yu's heart was full of doubts after seeing Chu Envoy's strange behavior. In order to dispel his doubts, he immediately asked the Chu envoy puzzled: "Envoy, why did you go to Qi so quickly?" Also, why do you plead guilty when you see this king? Could it be that this joint thing, can you mess it up?! ”

Hearing Xiang Yu's question, Chu Envoy hurriedly kowtowed and denied it. After Xiang Yu ordered him to explain what had happened, he hurriedly spoke: "Qiyu Overlord, after the lower officials arrived in Qidu, Li Zuoche, the commander of the King of Qi, received him. It was only because the king of Qi was in a hurry to arrange the defense of the Qi country, so the lower officials could not see him in person. However, according to Li Zuoche's words, the King of Qi had already expected that there would be an envoy from my Western Chu, so he arranged for him to receive him. And just when Xia Guan accepted his banquet, he discovered an amazing secret. ”

Hearing the envoy's words and discovering the secret, Xiang Yu suddenly raised his spirits. And after the envoy explained the whole story, he immediately roared angrily: "Is this Chu State the overlord's? Or is he Fan Zeng?!! ”

Xiang Yu's loud shout frightened the envoy away. And Xiang Yu himself knew that he was a little impatient after he said it, so he hurriedly said to the envoy: "You must not say anything to outsiders about this matter, if this king hears a little rumor, then don't blame this king for being unkind to you and your family!" ”

Hearing Xiang Yu's royal order, the envoy hurriedly kowtowed and swore an oath. After Xiang Yu ordered him to retreat, he escaped from the palace with a crawl.

After the envoy left, Xiang Yu began to think about the whole thing alone. It's a pity that he can't understand many details, so he has to summon his most trusted dragon into the palace, and then inform the other party of the whole story, and at the same time ask the other party's opinion.

After learning the ins and outs of the matter, Long Ji immediately fell into deep thought. After he thought about it for a long time, he hurriedly said to Xiang Yu: "Overlord, the last general was born in the army. I don't know anything about this scheme and tricks. However, the stakes are high, so the last general would advise you not to trust them all, and not to distrust them. Since the envoy felt that the military advisor was suspected of trespassing and bullying the master, then we might as well test it. As for whether Zhong Liwu is with the sergeant, we can also use this to find out. ”

Xiang Yu immediately nodded in agreement after listening to Long Ji's opinion. But he still had concerns at this time, so he seemed a little embarrassed.

"You're right. This king also feels the need to test it, but after all, Yafu is my Western Chu hero, in case this temptation is too obvious, this king is only afraid that he will be suspicious. ”

Seeing that Xiang Yu still remembered the friendship with Fan Zeng and the relationship between father and son, Long He was very moved. But at this moment, he only had Xiang Yu in his heart, so after the other party said nothing, he immediately replied in a low voice: "Overlord, in fact, this temptation is also very simple, as long as you order Yafu to take Zhong Liwu to attack the Qi State, won't everything be clear by then?!"
