Chapter 565: Father and Son (I)
Liu Heng was overjoyed when he heard this, and said hurriedly: "Father, is this true?" ”
"Seriously." Bai Mo nodded heavily and said, "However, Xiang Zheng, the prince of Chu, is not an easy person to match, and the current situation is slightly different from the minister's initial estimate, so he can only wronged the king to go to Luoyang for a while, but the king can rest assured, just wait for the situation to ease a little, and the minister will definitely find a way to welcome the king back to Guanzhong." ”
Today's situation is indeed very different from Bai Mo's prediction.
Bai Mo originally wanted to win Xiang Zheng's trust by sacrificing his military power, and after Xiang Zheng relaxed his vigilance, he secretly launched a mutiny, and at the same time urgently summoned Zhou Yafu's light cavalry from Hexi to attack Xianyang inside and outside, such a big thing would be successful.
I don't want Xiang Zheng to be young, but he is extremely old-fashioned, not only did he not take the talisman offered by Bai Mo, but he even took precautions, thinking of sending Liu Heng to Luoyang, and he would never drag his actions and leave tomorrow, which disrupted Bai Mo's plan, and now it was too late to transfer troops from Hexi.
If the two armies face each other, Bai Mo may still have a way, but now Liu Heng has become a prisoner, that is the pattern of people being swordsmen and I being fish and meat, even if Bai Mo has the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, it is difficult to bring the situation back.
So now, the only thing Bai Mo can do is to completely "surrender", in order to completely win the trust of the King of Chu, and then plan after gaining the trust of the King of Chu, but Bai Mo does not dare to guarantee that there will be a chance to welcome back the King of Han in the future, and the surrender of Chu may be fake, but in the face of Liu Heng, Bai Mo can only comfort him like this.
Of course, Bai Mo can also tear his face and fight with Chu Jun, but the odds of winning are really not big. Moreover, once the two armies of Chu and Han fought, Liu Heng, the king of Han, would definitely die, so Bai Mo did not dare to take risks.
Liu Heng believed it and said, "Okay, with the words of the father, the widow will be relieved." ”
"King, to avoid suspicion among the Chu people. The minister could not stay here too long, so he took his leave. With that, Bai Mo and Mei Kai and the others got up to say goodbye. Liu Heng reluctantly sent out of the hall, until the figures of Bai Mo and the others disappeared, and then returned to the apartment with a gloomy expression.

Tongguan. Champion Hou Xingyuan.
Xiahou Zao strode forward, and said to Zhou Guanfu: "Champion Hou, does the prime minister have news?" ”
Zhou Guanfu nodded silently, and handed a secret letter in his hand to Xiahou Zao, who hurriedly read the letter, and couldn't help but change his face greatly: "What, let us let the Chu army enter the customs?" Still watching the Chu army escort the king to Luoyang?! ”
Zhou Guanfu sighed: "What the prime minister said is not unreasonable, the Chu army is powerful, and the king has become a prisoner of the Chu army, and we are people under the roof." I had to bow my head. After a pause, Zhou Guanfu said again, "Now that the matter has come to this, there is no other way but to do what the prime minister said." Let's gain the trust of the Chu army first. ”
Xiahou snorted sullenly, and suddenly said: "Champion Hou, shouldn't the prime minister really fall?" ”
"The general is cautious." Champion Hou changed color slightly, and scolded in a low voice, "The prime minister is definitely not that kind of person. ”
"Not that kind of person? That's hard to say. Xiahou Zao said, "You need to know that Bi Shu, the general of the Chu State, and the prime minister are brothers who came out of the same Guigu Sect. As long as there is Bishu to recommend, can Chu Wangyan not reuse the prime minister? ”
"Shut up!" Zhou Guanfu said angrily, "Ben Hou said that the prime minister will never betray the Han!" ”
Xiahou Zao hurriedly said: "Champion Hou, the heart of defense is indispensable, according to the opinion of the last general, it is better to prepare elite soldiers, and wait for the Chu army to enter the pass and then attack it, so that not only can you recapture the king, but also take the opportunity to kill the prince of Chu, as long as you recapture the king, and then unite with the hussar general and General Li to attack Xianyang, there may not be no chance of turning the tables." ”
Zhou Guanfu pondered for a moment or shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "No, Ben Hou believes in the prime minister, if he acts rashly in Tongguan, can he kill the prince of Chu, and if he doesn't do it, he will hurt the king, if so, I will die and die." ”…,
Xiahou Zao hurriedly said: "Champion Hou ......"
"Alright, you don't have to say more." Zhou Guanfu said coldly, "This matter is decided." ”

Outside Tongguan Pass, the Chu army camp.
Gao Chu welcomed Zhong Liwu into the big tent and asked with concern: "Old Zhongli, how are the iron fences of the Shenjiang River and the iron cables on the river waterways cleaned up?" When can I enter Weishui? ”
Gao Chu is also a little anxious, the river-Weishui waterway is not dredged for a day, and the Chu army that goes deep into the pass will not be able to get logistics supplies for a day, and it will be very easy to change after a long time. Besides, the prince is also in Xianyang, if the prince has a good one, it will shake the country.
Zhong Li's face was embarrassed, and he said with a wry smile: "Wei Guogong doesn't know, the iron cable blocking the river is easy to do, and the furnace can be melted, but the iron fence of the Shenjiang River is difficult to clean up, and the progress is really not big." ”
Gao Chu frowned and said, "So you can only storm Tongguan." ”
However, Tongguan is garrisoned by 8,000 elite Han troops, and there are tens of thousands of Han troops in nearby Linjin, and there are peerless generals like Zhou Guanfu leading the army.
After snowing his hands, when Gao Chu was about to invite Zhong Liwu to sit down, his staff member Xu Jiang suddenly hurriedly walked in and said happily: "Wei Guogong, Zhou Guanfu has just sent an envoy to come, and they are going to surrender!" ”
"Oh?"
"Huh?!"
Zhong Liwu and Gao Chu were stunned when they heard this.
Then Zhong Liwu said: "Wei Guogong, there must be fraud in it!" ”
"Fraud?" Gao Chu's eyes narrowed slightly, then he opened them suddenly, and said in a cruel voice, "It doesn't matter if he is a cheater or not, as long as the Han army opens the gate, it will be difficult to close it again, hey!" ”
After saying this, Gao Chu raised his head again and shouted: "Come on, beat the drum and gather the generals!" ”
A moment later, the Chu army camp sounded the rapid sound of war drums, and in the rapid and passionate drum beat, the generals and colonels of various battalions and departments rushed to the big tent of the Chinese army at the beginning of the high school.
In the afternoon of the same day, Gao Chu led the army into Tongguan.
Contrary to everyone's expectations, Zhou Guanfu and Xiahou Zao, the guard general of Linjin, did not produce any moths, but simply offered their respective talismans, different from Xiang Zheng's modesty, Gao Chu honestly and unceremoniously accepted the talismans, and sent troops to disarm the Han army in Tongguan and Linjin, and imprisoned them again.
Almost at the same time, Zhou Yafu, who was stationed in Hexi, Li Shang, who was stationed in Shangjun, Jin She, who was stationed in Beidi, and Li Zuoche, who led the army to block the mouth of the Meridian Valley, also received Bai Mo's letter.
A few days later, Zhou Yafu, Li Shang and Jin Shu sent their own seals and talismans to Xianyang, and Li Zuoche also led his army to withdraw from the Meridian Valley Pass and put Bishu's army into Guanzhong.
A few days later, Bishu's army and Gao Chu's army arrived in Xianyang almost at the same time.
When Xiang Zhuang led the three forbidden armies to Hangu Pass, except for the Han army in Hexi who was confronting the Yueshi people and the Jiuyuan Huns confronting the Northern Mink cavalry, the situation in Guanzhong had been settled, and Xiang Zhuang immediately gave up the plan to lead the army into the pass, and only urgently ordered the prince Xiang Zheng to speed up the trip and go to Hangu Pass to join him.

Hangu Pass, Xiangzhuang Xingyuan.
Qu Bucai flashed into the line like a ghost, and Chong Xiangzhuang took a deep look and said, "King." ”
Xiang Zhuang put down the book in his hand about the population and acres of land in Guanzhong, and said in a deep voice: "Have you checked it out?" ”
"Got it figured out." Qu Bucai nodded, and replied gloomily, "On the day of the accident, the prince alluded to Dou Yifang that she was just an ordinary palace maid in the palace, so the prince didn't know that Dou Yifang was Liu Heng's queen, and it was true that the prince indulged the Qiang soldiers in Xianyang City to rape and plunder and massacre. ”
Xiang Zhuang nodded and said, "Got it, you go down." ”
"Whoa." Qu Bucai took a deep look at Xiang Zhuang again, bowed and retreated.
The room immediately fell silent, and under the cold firelight, Xiang Zhuang's eyes looked a little gloomy, and suddenly said to the door: "Jin Xiang, let the prince come in." ”…,
Jin Xiang, who was guarding the door, agreed and took the order.
After less than a moment, Xiang Zheng, who was dressed in formal clothes, walked in with a hurry and trembling, knelt down to pay homage to Xiang Zhuang, and sang respectfully: "The child greets his father." ”
"Get up." Xiang Zhuang waved his hand and said indifferently, "Tell my father, how did your second brother die?" ”
Xiang Zheng's heart jumped, and he said unhurriedly: "Back to my father, the second brother was killed by Liu Heng's rebellious army, but the reason was that the second brother summoned Liu Heng's queen Dou Yifang to serve ......."
Without waiting for Xiang Zheng to say the last word for sleep, Xiang Zhuang suddenly raised his head and looked at Xiang Zheng coldly, Xiang Zheng's kneeling body trembled violently, his originally normal face suddenly became pale, and the upper and lower rows of teeth began to hit each other uncontrollably, but he still stubbornly spit out the last word "sleep".
Xiang Zhuang forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and asked coldly, "Is this really the case?" ”
"Indeed, indeed." Xiang Zheng said in a trembling voice, "Present, there are a few present, many soldiers are, all, all, all, all can testify, children, children, children dare not have the slightest deception, deception, deception......"
"You still dare to quibble at this time?!" Xiang Zhuang was furious, pointed at Xiang Zheng's nose and scolded, "Qu Bucai has already found out everything, it was you who deliberately misled Zhi'er, saying that Dou Yifang was just an ordinary palace maid, and this is why Zhi'er later summoned Dou Yifang's attendant to sleep, do you really think that your little trick can hide from the world?" Huh?! ”
Xiang Zheng's face became more and more pale, and the whole person began to tremble uncontrollably, but he still gritted his teeth and said: "Child, child, child really doesn't know, I don't know what my father is talking about......
"Rebel, you rebel!" Xiang Zhuang said angrily, "How many times has my father told you that you want to be united, you want brothers, friends and brothers, although Zhi'er is irritable, but he is upright, he can be your most powerful helper, but you killed him because of your own private situation, how can your heart be so vicious?" Huh?! ”
Xiang Zheng still wanted to argue, but was interrupted by Xiang Zhuang involuntarily: "I know what you're worried about, aren't you just worried about the force behind Zhi'er?" You're worried that Zhi'er's backing will threaten your throne, right? But how do you know that Zhi'er will not listen to his father's arrangement, but will only be at their mercy? Huh?!
