It was already past the time when Xiao He dragged his tired body back from the mansion.

The overload of work in the past few months has almost exhausted his energy, and he actually fell asleep in a daze just now when he was reviewing the copy, and he had a long, long dream. In the dream, he seemed to have returned to Pei County, Liu Bang was still boasting about himself, Fan Hao was concentrating on cooking dog meat, and Zhou Bo and Xiahou Ying were listening to Liu Bang's divine talk on the side, while salivating at the boiling and tumbling dog meat in the pot.

In fact, Xiao He has always hidden a secret in his heart. That is, he actually wants to eat the dog meat cooked by Fan Xu.

I have to say that Fan Xu's boiled dog meat is really a must, the thick fragrance and mellow soup really make the mouth water. But Xiao He always pretended to be displeased and refused to taste it. Because he was a man of letters, a gentleman, and not like Liu Bangfan, who was born as a pawn of peddlers, of course, he had to show disdain for this lowly food. This is probably the reserve of the scribes.

When Xiao He woke up and turned around, it was like a world away, and there seemed to be a strong fragrance of dog meat in his nose, and he suddenly thought that even if he really put down the shelf now and was willing to eat with Liu Bang and them, Fan Hao would be gone.

Think about the brothers who came out of Pei County at the beginning, those brothers who said that they would live and die together, and share honor and disgrace. Now except for Liu Bang, he is the only one left. Thinking of this, Xiao He couldn't help but feel sad.

Once people get older, they tend to think about the past. Xiao He comforted himself like this,

Seeing that the night was dark, Xiao He looked at the copywriting that was still piled up on the table, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, thinking that he would be busy again tomorrow. Anyway, he couldn't finish tonight no matter what, so it was better to go and rest first, so he ordered his soldiers to pack up for him, and planned to leave the government and return to his own house.

He hadn't walked a few steps out of the house just now, but Xiao He suddenly stopped, and the soldiers behind him hurriedly stepped forward when they saw this, and asked with a puzzled face; "My lord, what's the matter?"

Xiao He looked at the sky in the distance in a daze, pointed to the corner of the east of the city and asked; "Look over there, is it on fire?"

The soldier leaned over and looked at it for a long time, only to see a red light in the distant sky, so he replied with some uncertainty; "It's too far away, and I can't see it very clearly, I think it's probably cold and someone is burning a fire over there to keep warm, adults don't have to worry too much."

Xiao He was still relieved in his heart, and after thinking about it, he commanded; "Go, you go and move me a ladder."

Although he was reluctant, the soldier had no choice but to go back to the palace and find a ladder to come over. Xiao He trembled and climbed up the high wall with his support, and the probe looked like a distant look.

In less than a moment, the firelight in the distance seemed to be much stronger, Xiao He squinted and looked at it for a long time, and suddenly his expression changed greatly, and he almost fell down the ladder, but fortunately, the pro-soldier was clever, so he narrowly supported him.

Xiao He grabbed him and said hurriedly: "Quick, go and tell the King of Han, alas, it's too late, you immediately take my seal to the barracks to mobilize the army, let them rush to the east gate to take over the defense, if you dare to stop it, you will not be killed." ”

"No." The pro-soldier hurriedly received the order, but looked at Xiao He Dao with some hesitation; "But my lord, who will take care of you when I'm gone?"

Xiao He still took care of the demeanor of the elder at this time, and said angrily; "I don't have to worry about you, just go quickly."

"Yes...... It's ......" The pro-soldier hurriedly received the order, but Xiao He's credit turned around and ran away quickly.

Xiao He's worries are not superfluous, in fact, Linzi City has reached the point of crisis at this time. After discussing with Lu Pheasant, Zhou Ke really firmly chose to obey her arrangement.

Zhou Ke was originally a general stationed at the east gate, with 20,000 troops in his hands. In order to facilitate his actions, Zhou Cao deliberately transferred some non-cronies out of the city defense tonight, but replaced them all with his own henchmen. However, when the incident came, it was discovered by a general who finally Liu Bang was wrong, and hurriedly took his subordinates anyway, shouting Zhou Ke's rebellion, while leading his troops to guard the city gate and prevent Zhou Ke from opening the city gate.

Zhou Cao was doing a rebellious thing, and he didn't dare to say more to his subordinates in advance, and it was his own henchmen who were die-hard loyalists, and he couldn't attack the city gate for a while if he was not in a hurry. This is the patrol team in the city also happened to pass by the east gate, seeing this and immediately joined the battle, the east gate was suddenly in chaos, a large number of unknown soldiers just watched from the sidelines, and did not know which side to help.

Lu Pheasant, who was waiting not far away, saw that the situation was not good, and immediately rushed up with the queen's personal guards, announcing that the men and horses guarding the city gate were rebels, and ordered Zhou Cao to immediately quell the rebellion. With the queen's proof, the Han soldiers, who had remained neutral, immediately joined Zhou Cao's ranks, and soon the stubbornly resisting Han army was wiped out.

Immediately, Lu Pheasant said that he was ordered by the King of Han to order Zhou Ke to lead the army to Xicheng to support, saying that there were rebels there. The soldiers of the Han army, who had just finished "quelling the rebellion", naturally did not think much about it, and hurriedly followed Zhou Cao to the west city, and completely handed over the east city gate to Lu Pheasant's cronies to guard.

The queen can have a guard of 1,000 people according to the system, which was originally used as a reliance, but Lu Pheasant did not think so. These 1,000 people are all the children of good families carefully selected by her. In order to firmly control these people, Lu Pheasant did not put much effort into this, which also made the guard of 1,000 people truly one of the forces that she could completely control.

Lü Pheasant immediately ordered the bonfire at the head of the city to be lit, and at the same time opened the city gates, and her guards were wrapped in white cloth and waited on both sides.

Soon, the Qin army, which had been waiting for a long time not far from the city, arrived and rushed into the city from the open city gate, and under the leadership of the generals, they were orderly divided into several units and rushed to various important places, while most of the Han army was still sleeping in the barracks in the city.

Xiao He's warning was too late, and before the Han army could discover the enemy's situation, the Qin army's army had already roared and killed. Liu Bang was woken up by the guards in his sleep, put on his clothes in a panic, and happened to meet a group of soldiers and horses led by Zhang Er before he went out. Zhang Er had been with Liu Bang in the Battle of Xianyang for several months, and they were familiar with each other, and he saw a group of military horses walking in a group of people on the opposite side from a distance, looking very much like Liu Bang. So he excitedly rushed over with the army, wanting to capture Liu Bang alive.

The two armies collided head-on and scuffled with each other.

As more and more soldiers and horses of the Qin army entered the city, and they were prepared to attack unprepared, Linzi City was soon swept by the Qin army, and a large number of Han soldiers who hurriedly responded to the battle dropped their weapons and surrendered one after another, and more Han soldiers became prisoners of the Qin army in their sleep.

Liu Bang's pro-army retreated into the palace after a melee with Zhang Er's troops, and then Liu Bang ordered the palace gate to be confined and all the deacons in the palace were summoned, and everyone was forced to stand on the inner city with weapons to guard.

After Han Xin entered the city, he immediately ordered the deployment of troops to besiege the palace. Although this Han army is elite, the military spirit has been broken, and Han Xin did not take much effort to break through the palace gate and lead a large army to pursue Liu Bang all over the city.

Liu Bang hid in a simple palace in a hurry, and let people block the gate, and the besieging Qin army knew that he was the king of Han, and he didn't dare to use it, but he just surrounded the three layers of the palace and the three layers outside.

By this time the night had passed, and the sky was already bright. Liu Bang climbed onto the roof with a sword, but as far as his eyes could see, it was all the black water battle flags of the Qin army, and he couldn't help crying loudly in grief.

He was really sad, really desperate. After four years of hard work since Peixian started the army, so many siblings have died, but now they are in vain. He was really unwilling, but he was powerless to change anything.

Liu Bang was crying and laughing on the roof, looking like crazy, not dancing with a sword and singing. Under the roof were dense Qin soldiers, most of whom looked at this generation of heroes who had come to an end with pity.

Liu Bang's hand holding the sword trembled slightly, and he tried hard to find Han Xin's figure in the crowd, but to his disappointment, Han Xin never appeared. He had too many questions to ask Han Xin, and too many things to say to Han Xin, and he really couldn't feel at ease if he didn't say it.

"Maybe he didn't really see me as an opponent at all." Liu Bang thought in his heart and couldn't help but laugh at himself.

The wind blew, blowing Liu Bang's robe whirring, and Liu Bang suddenly opened his hands violently, as if he was about to fly with the wind.

In the wind, Liu Bang seemed to hear Xiahou Ying's laughter and scolding, and heard Zhou Bo talking loudly. He couldn't help but think of the taste of dog meat made by Tuzi himself. It was the delicacy he had dreamed of back then, but now he hasn't eaten it for four years.

Pei county! It seems to be out of reach. This life is like a dream, a vigorous dream, and now it's time to wake up.

In a trance, Liu Bang seemed to have returned to Pei County from a new one, and at that time he had calmed down the world and was full of ambition. The self on the royal car was impassioned, pointing out the country, so unexpected. All the people were prostrate at their feet, shouting "Hurrah, hooray, hooray." ”

In his happiness, he remembered how he had defeated Xiang Yu and eliminated Han Xin in the past. And thinking that he would govern the country well in the future, where would he find warriors to help him defend it? Thinking of this, I was very emotional, and I couldn't help singing

"The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying, Weijia is returning to his hometown, and the warriors are guarding the Quartet!"

Liu Bang raised his arms and danced wildly, looking up to the sky and laughing, the tears of laughter flowed out, and it took a long time to stop laughing, take a deep look at the distance, and shout a horizontal sword to kill himself, and blood was splashed on the spot.

On the platform in the distance, Han Xin silently took off his helmet and was silent.

The first hero ended up like this, and Han Xin couldn't help but feel emotional.

In all fairness, Liu Bang's actions are also worthy of the title of "masterpiece", if it weren't for his own birth, maybe he could really become a generation of emperors. After all, compared with Xiang Yu, he is more suitable to become an emperor, and Xiang Yu's stubbornness doomed him to become an emperor.

It's a pity that all this has changed because of his arrival after all, maybe it is really as Uncle Shi said, all this is providence.

"Someone, collect Liu Bang's body and send it to Lu Pheasant, and bury it with a princely ceremony! His son Liu Ying, benevolent and humble, sealed the Qu Rebellion, and ate 3,000 households in the fat city. ”
