Hongmen banquet.

Xiang Yu was tense and liked to go straight to the intrigue of the overlord of Chu, who was naturally disgusted with intrigues and tricks, this time, although Liu Bang made him very unhappy, but thinking of the friendship that he had worked with his uncle Xiang Liang in the past, he still decided to give Liu Bang an explanation in front of all the princes.

For Xiang Yu's "gentleman" style of cherishing his reputation, his father Fan Zeng gave him several admonitions, but he was not adopted, which made Fan Zeng very disappointed.

Xiang Yu, in the final analysis, is just a temperamental person who has gone too far.

He had a smooth journey, but he was still a young man who had not fully grown into a man.

Sunset over the West Mountains.

A small army under the banner of the Chu army came to the coalition garrison in Hongmen in the expectation of a group of coalition princes. Liu Bang, the commander of Chu's Western Expeditionary Army and Marquis of Wu'an, finally arrived.

The princes will be allied, and the overlord will order, and don't dare to disobey.

Liu Bang was late, which made Xiang Yu, who was originally going to give Liu Bang a dismissal, even more unkind.

"Overlord, Qin Dog is rampant, after our army occupied Xianyang, we chased the rest of Qin Dog Li Yuan all the way, but I didn't want to be attacked by enemy fire in Chencang, and the 30,000 army was wiped out, this revenge will not be avenged, and it is not a gentleman." As soon as Liu Banggang entered the account, he didn't wait for everyone to ask questions, and he beat his chest for a while in front of Xiang Yu, Zhang Er, Wei Bao and other princes.

"Pei Gong, what are you talking about, Qin Gou still has the strength to fight back, how can you say this?" Xiang Yu's complexion changed when he heard this, and Liu Bang, Zhang Liang and other generals in front of him all looked like they had lost the battle and were embarrassed, and they couldn't fake their expressions.

Zhang Er and the others in the tent also looked at each other, if it is really as Liu Bang said, then there is still a Qin army in Guanzhong, and the strength is not weak, who is this? After the destruction of Zhang Han's main force of the Qin State and Wang Li's border army, which army of the Qin State could withstand the thunderous blow of the anti-Qin princes.

"Overlord, it's Li Yuan's little thief, to put it in detail, you and I have dealt with each other, and in the battle of Yongcheng, Li Thief escaped from you and me." Liu Bang said hatefully, a flash of pride flashed in his eyes. finally succeeded in diverting the attention of Xiang Yu and others from the topic of occupying Xianyang first, so the next thing will be easy to do.

"Li Yuan, but that Li Yuan who stole Xingyang?" Wei Bao exclaimed, under the city of Xingyang, the Wei army suffered heavy casualties, the general Wu Pu and others were killed, and there was not one in the whole army. In fact, Wei Bao also knew that it was not Li Yuan who really embezzled the Wei army, but Liu Bang who was standing in front of him at this time.

"It's this guy. Two months ago, Li thief raised the banner of the Qing Jun's side, from Sanchuan County all the way into Xianyang, killed Hu Hai, Zhao Gao and others, and then, with a large number of wealth, grain and straw fled to the Yongqi area, after hearing the news, a certain to the headquarters of the general Qi gills, Wang Ling as the pioneer, raised troops to attack Qin, but did not want to, in the Chencang area mistakenly hit the Li thief tricks, the vanguard soldiers are all ink, Qi Gill and other generals died in the service, now, Li thief is powerful, gradually have a counterattack momentum, we and other strength is not good, but also invite the overlord soldiers into Xianyang, sit in the crusade against Li thief. ”

Liu Bang is eloquent, and while talking, he cried bitterly and wept bitterly. At this time, he no longer saw the appearance of Wu Anhou, who commanded an army of 100,000, he was just a poor old man who was bullied.

In terms of acting, Liu Bang has a special talent.

At this point, whether it is Xiang Yu or Li Yuan, they are not as good as Liu Bang.

Liu Bang's words of seven points true and three points false will come down, and all the princes will look at each other, and they have already decided that the Qin State did not resist Liliang, but this time it is just to plunder in the pass and get some benefits, but I don't want to, the Qin people actually have an elite army left in the pass, and even Liu Bang has suffered defeat.

"Li thief, a certain person should be cut down for Pei Gong." When Xiang Yu heard this, he was full of color. As the head of the coalition commander, Xiang Yu had a strong sense of mission that made Xiang Yu eager to kill all the Qin troops who stood in his way.

In his opinion, the main force of the Qin army led by Zhang Han has fallen, and the Qin army no longer has liliang to resist the attack of the princes from all walks of life.

"Pei Gong, Li Thief is really so rampant, in the past in Yongqiu, this official was just a small military marquis. It's hard to soar into the sky, and the strength is so inflated. If Li Thief really has the strength, he will never abandon Xianyang and flee west. If Pei Gong has some time, let's talk about his days in Xianyang. Fan Zeng smiled coldly and asked.

Liu Bang's words could be concealed from others and deceived Xiang Yu, but he couldn't make Fan Zeng believe it. What's more, he had already discovered that the direction of the banquet had begun to develop in the direction of questioning who Li Yuan was under the guidance of Liu Bang, which was not Xiang Yu's original intention of setting up a banquet in Hongmen.

"Overlord Mingjian, since the introduction of troops to the west, Guanshan is full of dangers, and the lone army has fought for several days, among which the danger is not enough, that day the soldiers crossed the plank road, and heard that the Qin thief wanted to flee westward, and in a hurry, Fang Shijun entered Xianyang, as for the plunder, it was really caused by lax constraints, and the overlord was punished." Liu Bang's expression was solemn, and he said loudly in a solemn tone.

Speaking of this, Liu Bang, who is nearly half a hundred years old, has a faint redness and swelling in his eyes, he thinks of Fan Xu, who died on the battlefield, Fu Kuan and other generals who are close to him, he thinks of the difficulty of sleeping in the open air, and he thinks of his wife and children who stayed in his hometown Pei County and did not know life and death.

"Please, overlord punish!" Under Liu Bang, Cao Shen, Zhou Bo and several other members of the followers knelt on the ground one by one and bowed to Xiang Yu.

"Generals, hurry up!" Xiang Yu's heart softened, don't look at his majesty on the battlefield, but he couldn't see the same brave general bowing his head.

Cao Shen and Zhou Bo are all brave generals, and Xiang Yu also appreciates their ability to lead the troops in combat, and even faintly thinks that the generals under his command, such as Long Ji, Zhong Liwu, and Xiang Zhuang, are not as good as Cao Zhou in terms of ability.

Under Liu Bang's bitter strategy, Xiang Yu's anger disappeared.

Liu Bang got up and hurriedly sent Zhang Liang to Xiang Yu to send fifteen pairs of jade walls and twenty pairs of jade buckets, in addition, to Fan Zeng, a pair of white jade and a pair of jade dragons, as for the rest of the princes, etc., their own attendants contacted the people around the other party to send a gift, and for a while, all the princes were happy.

Break the fortune and avoid disasters.

This is a good way to eliminate hidden dangers.

Of course, these things were all looted by General Liu Jun from Xianyang, and what Li Yuan took away was only the palace, the treasury and the treasury, like the mansion of Ying Ziying and others, Li Yuan did not forcibly search, and there was no need to tear his face.

And these things left in Xianyang were cheaper than Liu Bang, and Zuihou fell into the hands of Xiang Yu and other princes.

After three rounds of drinking, Xiang Yu, Liu Bang and other princes were flushed, here, Xiang Yu didn't look brave, but the amount of alcohol was very shallow, more than ten Ding Xiang Yu was already a little shaky, and Liu Bang actually had the best amount of alcohol, but at this time, he pretended to be drunk and lay on the case without moving.

Among the strategists, Fan Zeng, the father of Ya, looked at him coldly, and was silent for a long time, he was so angry that he couldn't speak; Opposite him, Liu Bang's chief strategist Zhang Liang was calm and composed, and frequently drank and chatted with princes from all walks of life.

In the first round of the contest at the Hongmen Banquet, Fan Zeng was defeated, and Zhang Liang's bitter meat plan and financial scheming successfully resolved a crisis for Liu Bang.
