Handan has experienced many years of war, and the palace of King Zhao during the Warring States period has long been dilapidated. Later, Zhao Xie entered Handan, and he rebuilt the palace with a lot of construction, but because of Zhao's limited financial resources, the newly built palace was also limited.

The banquet for the Han king was held in the main hall of the royal palace. Zhao Xie personally accompanied, all the officials above Zhao Guo Qianshi were present, plus Liu Bang and others, the hall was also very lively.

The beautiful palace maid shuttled between the banquets like butterflies among the flowers, constantly serving dishes and pouring wine. In the hall, the dancing queen danced with Guan Le Shanshan, while Liu Bang stared intently at the beautiful dancing girl in the hall, and he didn't even pay attention to Zhao Xie's two toasts. It wasn't until Chen Ping on the side poked him that he suddenly realized, and hurriedly picked up his wine glass in return.

Zhao Xie was drunk, so he laughed and laughed; "It turns out that you are also a temperamental person, it seems that your brother is really a like-minded person, I will send you a few beauties that will definitely satisfy you in a while."

Liu Bang raised his wine glass with a smile, "Come, for this common hobby, drink a drink." ”

Zhao Xie was not good at drinking, but he was drunk under Liu Bang's enthusiastic persuasion. When it came to Liu Bang, who seemed to be lean, he never thought that the amount of alcohol was huge, and dozens of ministers and generals of Zhao State came to pay respects, and they all drank without changing their faces.

Before the banquet dissipated, Zhao Xie was already unconscious, and hurriedly helped him back to the inner room to rest. Liu Bang drank with great interest, and instead of Zhao Xie for the master, he toasted and drank with Zhao Chen's ministers everywhere, and he hooked his shoulders and shoulders when chatting speculation, without any Han Wang's shelf. Many Zhao Chen were wary of this Han King at first, but now they all seem to praise the Han King as a bold and righteous man.

Among them, Geng Yi was the most proud, the King of Han was obvious to him, and the envious gazes handed to him by everyone made him feel a little fluttery, and he drank a lot more wine. After three rounds of drinking, although Geng Yi was good at drinking, he was also very drunk, staggered to Liu Bang, his tongue was also drunk, and he grabbed Liu Bang's hand and said inarticulately; "Han ...... King Han, if you want to say that I admire the most in this world, then ...... That has to be you, you...... You are much stronger than our king. ”

Liu Bang withdrew his arm from Geng Yi's hand, and said to the left and right with a somewhat embarrassed expression; "Dr. Geng drank too much, drank too much, someone is coming."

"Yes." A eunuch responded.

"Help Dr. Geng go home."

"No."

Liu Bang, who was laughing and talking with Zhao Chen, took the time to look at Chen Ping to the side and made a look, Chen Ping turned to other places vigilantly, and nodded slowly.

Liu Bang was determined, so he clapped his hands and said loudly; "Everyone, everyone." The hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone turned their eyes to Liu Bang.

"Although the wine is not over now, but the night is late, if you drink it again, I'm afraid you will not even be able to enter the house, if there is a fierce wife at home, I am afraid you will have to suffer a lot of flesh and skin."

Everyone burst into laughter, and Liu Bang said with a smile again; "It's better to end here today, in the coming day, the coming day will definitely be drunk with you."

The crowd gradually dispersed, and Liu Bang also took Chen Ping and others out of the palace with everyone and returned to the post house prepared for him by Zhao Xie.

Pushing open the door of the post house, he saw that it was already densely packed with neatly draped soldiers, and when he saw Liu Bang entering the door, he all looked at him, if he looked carefully, he could find that the clothes on these soldiers were not the crimson of the Han army, but the clothes of the Zhao army.

The first sturdy man in armor was Fan Xu. stepped forward a few steps and knelt down in front of Liu Bang, and said in a rough voice; "King Han, the post house has been firmly controlled by us. The brothers are all ready, and they are itching one by one, just waiting for your order. ”

Liu Bang's face was tense and solemn, and he turned his head to look at Chen Ping and asked; "The palace is well arranged, can you ensure that nothing goes wrong?"

Chen Ping nodded and replied directly; "Zhao Xie has a tyrannical temperament, mean and unkind, the deacon Wang Xi and others in the palace have been bribed by me, Wang Xi promised to set fire to the palace in an hour, and he made sure that no one could come close to rescue Zhao Xie."

Liu Bang's face was calm, and he couldn't see his joy or anger, but he just said lightly; "Don't, make sure it's safe, I don't want to leave it to the world, understand?"

Chen Ping lowered his head, "I understand, I will deal with these people afterwards, King Han, please rest assured." ”

Liu Bang looked at Fan Hao again, Fan Hao puffed out his chest, and said with a smile; "After so many years of birth and death, big brother, you still don't worry about me."

Liu Bang closed his eyes and took a deep breath, Huo Ran opened his eyes, "Do it!" ”

In Handan City at night, there were several black tides flowing rapidly on the originally cold streets. It was inconvenient for Liu Bang to come forward, so he sat in the post house and dispatched in the center. The Han army was divided into three parts, one went to take over the city gates, opened the door and let the army outside the city enter the city; One patrols the city to guard and prevent any fish from escaping in the palace; Chen Ping and Fan Xu personally led 3,000 elites to attack the palace, and they must control the 1,000 Zhao Janissary Guards.

At the east gate of the palace, Sergeant Zhao, who was on duty at the city gate, spotted the approaching Black Tide, and the officer drew his sword and shouted, "Who is coming?" ”

The Han army responded to his question with a rain of arrows, and more than a dozen Zhao soldiers at the city gate were suddenly shot into a hornet's nest. Zhao Jun on the city gate had already noticed the abnormality, and hurriedly wanted to sound the alarm, but was pierced by a flying feather arrow, screaming and falling down the city.

In the darkness, Fan Xu's thick body flashed out, and he jumped into the city with a large iron cone in his hand, and roared angrily and smashed the two Zhao soldiers who were about to cut the drawbridge into pulp.

"Kill!" Fan Hao waved his big hand, and the Han soldiers behind him frantically poured in.

The Han army had just rushed into the palace gate, but they ran into the city patrol soldiers who happened to pass by and rushed to hear the news. The two armies were in short arms, and they all responded in a hurry, and they were in a mess at the narrow palace gate.

Although there are few Zhao soldiers, they are all known for their good fighting, and they are the elite of the Zhao army, especially the junior captain who leads the team is even more powerful in martial arts, and almost no one can get close to him under the swing of a silver spear. In addition, the terrain at the palace gate was narrow, and although the Han army was crowded, it could not be launched, so they had to rush forward one by one to fight with the Zhao army.

Seeing that the Han army was stuck at the palace gate and couldn't advance or retreat, Fan Hao was immediately anxious, and with a loud roar, he violently cracked the muscles and bones of several Zhao soldiers who were entangled with him, and he himself jumped high and pounced on the young general, who hurriedly returned to the gun to block.

The gun cone was handed over, and the sound of gold and stone was like thunder, and Fan Hao and the young general both felt a violent shock in their arms, and they couldn't help but put away their hearts and despise each other. The two of you come and go, mixed together, for a while there is no distinction between the top and the bottom, the more Fan Xu beats his heart, the more shocked he becomes, he didn't expect that there is such a talent in the Zhao army, he really underestimated the heroes of the world.

He didn't know that the young general was even more frightened in his heart. He is the side branch of the Zhao royal family, Zhao Xie's nephew Zhao Yi, since he was a child, he was extremely forceful, and he could easily pull the three-stone bow at the age of fifteen, and was known as the first fierce general of Zhao by Zhao Di's good deeds. He was extremely arrogant and conceited in his life, and it was precisely because of this temperament that he was not liked by Zhao Xie, although he was a royal family, he could only serve as a school captain.

Zhao Yi originally thought that the only person in the world who could be his opponent was the legendary overlord Xiang Yu, who had been practicing martial arts with him as his goal, and vowed to defeat him on the battlefield for Zhao Guo. But he didn't expect that there would be such a strong martial artist in the world besides Xiang Yu.

Although Fan Xu's courage is not as good as Xiang Yu, it is not much different, and he is even more equal to Zhao Yi. Zhao Yi fought hard for a long time, but he couldn't take Fan Hao no matter what, and he became more and more anxious in his heart, seeing that there were fewer and fewer brothers around him, I was afraid that it would not be long before he would be slaughtered by the Han army with superior forces.

At this moment, a fire suddenly broke out in the palace, mixed with the exclamations of the palace people running, and in an instant, the fire soared into the sky. When the Han army saw that it was done, all of them shouted long live, and their morale was suddenly boosted, and they forced the remnants of the Zhao army in front of them down, rushed into the palace, and killed people when they saw them.

Fan Xu was anxious to lead the army to control the palace, and he didn't want to entangle with Zhao Yi, so he shook off him with a false shot and turned to leave. Zhao Yi rushed left and right in the layers of Han army, covered in blood, turned around and saw the fire in the palace, knowing that the matter was irreparable, so he broke through the siege and killed out of the city, and ran to a Zhao army camp thirty miles north of the city.

At this time, the city gate of Handan had been opened, and a large number of Han troops poured into the city, quickly taking over the whole city of Handan, and then announced a curfew in the whole city, strictly prohibiting Zhao Min, who did not know what to do, from going to the street.

Geng Yi was drunk and sleeping soundly in bed, and was suddenly woken up by a loud noise in his sleep, stumbled out of the door, grabbed a servant who was messing around, and roared; "What are you arguing about, what are you arguing about."

The servant stammered with fear on his face; "Old ...... Sir, the palace is on fire, it's a big fire, it's about to burn to us, run for your life. ”

Geng Yi's mansion is close to King Zhao's palace, so it's no wonder that the servants have said this.

Geng Yi was stunned for a moment after hearing this, turned his head to look in the direction of the palace, but saw the sky-high fire ignited, and suddenly woke up with alcohol. Hurriedly ran to the stable in a hurry, turned over and was about to rush out, but the servant grabbed the reins of the horse and said loudly; "Master, it's curfew outside, and if you see someone, you'll kill them, don't go."

Geng Yi ignored it, and whipped the servant on the hand, and the servant let go of his hand when he was in pain. Geng Yi took advantage of this gap and rushed out of the door like a whip.

Geng Yi's mansion was not far from the palace, and he was lucky not to meet the Han army on the road, so he ran directly to the east gate of the palace, and happened to bump into Liu Bang entering the palace under a group of people.

Geng Yi shouted "King Han" from afar, Liu Bang was stunned, then turned around and stopped, and when he saw that it was Geng Yi, his face was suddenly frightened and frightened.

Grabbing Liu Bang's hand, Geng Yi asked breathlessly; "Why is it on fire, King Zhao is good."

Liu Bang was stunned, his face changed to a sad look, and he squeezed a few tears and said; "I'm not going to put out the fire, but seeing that this fire is so big, I'm afraid King Zhao has already died in the fire."

Although Geng Yi is not familiar with human feelings, it does not mean that he is stupid. At this time, he had already noticed that something was wrong with Liu Bang and the people around him, and the expression on Liu Bang's face was more like a deliberate pretend. After a closer look, I found that the people standing at the head of the city were all Han soldiers, and I couldn't guess it at this moment.

Pointing at Liu Bang's nose, Geng Yi raised his head and laughed, his laughter was full of sadness and helplessness.

"Liu Bang, you are good Liu Bang, you actually wanted to rob me Zhao Guo from the beginning. It's me Geng Yi who has no eyes and no beads, and I misbelieved you. ”

Geng Yi was full of grief and indignation, dismounted and knelt down towards the palace rest, kowtowed desperately, and said in a sad voice; "My lord, it was I who took the blame on you, lured the wolf into the room, and let you die. I was really blind and mistrusted Liu Bang, a villain. After saying that, Geng Yi slammed his fingers into his eyes, and actually picked out his eyeballs, and two lines of blood and tears suddenly gushed out, but Geng Yi didn't realize it, just kowtowed desperately, suddenly jumped up, and slammed into the city gate.

The guards on the side were about to stop it, but Liu Bang stretched out his hand to stop him, looked at Geng Yi who was dying on the ground with a complicated face, and sighed; "Let him go, though this man is stupid, but he is a true righteous man, and he will bury him for me."

"No!"

Liu Bang turned his body, looked up at the flames in the palace, and said; "Tell the whole city, saying that Geng Yi plotted against himself and set fire to the city and burned the king of Zhao, and now he has been captured and killed by me, and the three clans have been destroyed."
