Chapter 43: The Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell

Looking at Liu Bang with a contemptuous face, and then looking at the princes with different expressions on both sides, Zhang Han understood that he was completely defeated this time, and there was no room for defeat.

originally thought that if he knew a little bit of the inside story, coupled with the joint opposition of Sanqin, he could achieve control of everything, but until now, Zhang Han knew how ridiculous his thoughts were.

In the final analysis, he was too big, and he was a little too anxious, and he couldn't wait to weaken Liu Bang's power, but because of this, he was countered by the first army, and now he has fallen into an infinite passive situation.

A little success in operating Xianyang some time ago contributed to his blind self-confidence. As everyone knows, the scheming of these ancients present can be compared to their fledgling boys.

It was precisely because he was too light on all this that Zhang Han did not realize the seriousness of the problem, and he did not take any precautions against Sima Xin in advance. Only now did he sadly find that he was completely turned around by Sima Xin and Xiang Bo, two old fritters.

But at this time, it was already a little late to regret it, and the audience was silent, and everyone was watching Zhang Han's every move with cold eyes.

Most of them didn't know much about Zhang Han, but had only heard of his name. But today's Zhang Han's outrageous words and deeds made them feel disappointed, and the so-called Great Qin Army God was nothing more than Er'er.

Han Wangcheng on the side moved his position slightly and distanced himself from Zhang Han. There was worry and confusion in his expression. From the previous conversation, his impression of Zhang Han was still very good, but he never expected that Zhang Han would choose to challenge Liu Bang.

Facts have proved that this is an extremely wrong decision, and now Zhang Han is tantamount to offending Liu Bang and Xiang Yu's confidant Xiang Bo at the same time, isn't this self-defeating. Although Han Wangcheng sympathized with Zhang Han, he was reluctant to get too close to him, so as not to appear too close to Zhang Han.

And the protagonist of all this, Yongwang Zhanghan, was flushed and looked extremely embarrassed. He tried his best to control his emotions, and his mind was secretly thinking quickly.

In this short period of time, Zhang Han had basically judged the current situation, and he had to admit in his heart that the plan to snatch food from Liu Bang's mouth planned today could only be abandoned.

At this moment, he has been forced to a dead end, without Sima Xin and Dong Fei to support him, he is completely alone, and if he continues to hold on, he can only bring humiliation on himself.

Moreover, he was opposed by Xiang Bo before, and the spearhead of accusation was pointed at himself, and the other princes present obviously would not support him, and the most important thing now is how to resolve this passive situation.

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Han finally gritted his teeth and suddenly knelt down on one knee towards Xiang Yu.

His incident happened suddenly, and no one knew what his intentions were, and they couldn't help but be stunned.

"The last general is guilty, and the last general only thinks that Hanzhong and Guanzhong are horns of each other, and wants to save the people of the two places from being divided, so he is unwilling to give up Hanzhong. Today, he was refuted by General Xiang Bo, and he was speechless and ashamed. The last general was confused and lost the face of King Xiang, please punish King Xiang! ”

Xiang Yu had been silent just now, just watching Zhang Han and Xiang Bo talking, but he didn't expect that Zhang Han suddenly put down his face and admitted that he was wrong. But what's even more weird is that he didn't admit his mistake to Liu Bang or apologize to Xiang Bo, but instead knelt down in front of him, which made Xiang Yu a little unresponsive for a while.

After the other princes were stunned for a moment, a whisper immediately sounded in the crowd, and there was an indescribable look in the eyes of Zhang Han.

Zhang Han knelt down like this, not only surprised Xiang Yu, but Liu Bang and Xiang Bo, but they didn't know how to do it.

Zhang Han doesn't play according to the routine - if Zhang Han chooses to continue to argue with Xiang Bo, then Liu Bang is confident that there are a hundred ways to argue that he has nothing to say.

And if Zhang Han chooses to give in to Uncle Xiang, then Liu Bang will definitely not spare him easily, and will definitely buckle a bigger hat on his head, even if Zhang Han does not die today, he will definitely let him shed his skin.

But no one thought that Zhang Han would choose to apologize to Xiang Yu, which is different.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Zhang Han's move is completely to find a step down, since he knows that Liu Bang will not give this step, he simply moved Xiang Yu out.

Zhang Han surrendered in the hands of Xiang Yu at the beginning, even if he is now crowned king, but if he wants to claim to be Xiang Yu's subordinates, there is nothing that cannot be said in theory.

What's more, in this way, the problem is on Xiang Yu, since he is apologizing to Xiang Yu, then Xiang Yu does not open his mouth to express his position, and Liu Bang and Xiang Bo are not good at saying anything.

Sima Xin, who had been keeping his head down, also raised his head, he looked at Zhang Han's eyes revealing a trace of surprise, he originally thought that Zhang Han was going to suffer a big loss today, but he didn't expect such a thing.

At this moment, even an old fox like him couldn't help but secretly admire that Zhang Han, the golden cicada, was really beautiful.

Sima Xin knows very well what kind of person Xiang Yu is, maybe in some other things, Xiang Yu is several times more brutal than Liu Bang, but in such a trivial matter, Xiang Yu will definitely excuse Zhang Han.

Han Xin said: "King Xiang saw that people were respectful and loving, his words were vomiting, people were sick, he wept and shared food and drink, so that people had merit as knights, and they could not bear to give, and this so-called woman's benevolence was also." ”

When Liu Bang later discussed success or failure, Gao Qi Wang Ling also said: "Your Majesty is slow and insulting, Xiang Yuren is benevolent and loves".

To sum up, it is said that Xiang Yu is just a woman's benevolence, and she is willing to love her subordinates in small things, but she is jealous of her ability and is unwilling to reward more, which is the dispersion of the old people's hearts.

Although Liu Bang is uninhibited and has insulted the general many times, as long as the reward is enough, people's hearts will always be towards him.

So Sima Xin understood that seeing that Zhang Han was forced by Liu Bang's side to get off the stage, Xiang Yu would definitely help relieve the siege. In fact, it was with this in mind that Zhang Han chose to apologize to Xiang Yu.

Sure enough, Xiang Yu hesitated, looked at Liu Bang, then at Zhang Han, picked up the wine glass and stepped forward with a smile: "This matter is not a big deal, it's just that King Yong's words were lost." Today is a good day to reward the princes, since King Yong has apologized in public, according to Yu's opinion, it is better to put down the dispute and everyone drink happily. ”

Hearing this, Xiang Bo glanced at Liu Bang helplessly, and could only sit back in his seat. Xiang Yu said everything about this, of course he couldn't come out to dismantle the stage as an uncle, so he could only let Zhang Han go.

And Liu Bang also chose to give up after staring at Zhang Han for a moment, he took the wine glass handed over by Xiang Yu, drank it all and said: "King Xiang is benevolent and loving, and is willing to exonerate King Yong. ”

Liu Bang also knows how to control this "degree", since Xiang Yu came out to make peace, it is destined to have no result if he argues with Zhang Han again, but he will offend Xiang Yu, so he simply appears to be generous and no longer entangled.

Xiang Yu heard Liu Bang's evaluation of "treating people with kindness", and couldn't help but feel proud in his heart, and laughed: "Haha, good, good!" Let's go back to the banquet, today's events, the right to make jokes, and when the reward is finished, the banquet will be held immediately. ”

The princes couldn't help but look at each other, no one thought that this matter would be like this, it seems that they had underestimated this Yongwang Zhang Han before.

However, they also know that although Xiang Yu said that power should be regarded as a joke, after this incident, I am afraid that Liu Bang and Zhang Han will be completely evil.
