Chapter 429: Drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle

"Alas! If you drink, it's really not pleasant! Xiang Yu sighed lightly, summoned Xiang Zhuang who was waiting on the side, and said, "Xiang Zhuang, there is no joy in the army, why don't you come and dance the sword to help the fun?" ”

Saying that, Xiang Yu grabbed the long sword on the table and threw it to Xiang Zhuang, Xiang Zhuang took the sword and hugged his fists, "Yes!" As soon as the words fell, the long sword rubbed out of the sheath, Xiang Zhuang is Xiang Yu's cousin, and the third grandson of Xiang Yan, the general of Chu State, Xiang Zhuang has been following Xiang Yu in the south and north over the years, until the final Wujiang battle died, and he did not take a step back. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xiang Zhuang can be described as Xiang Yu, a cronie among cronies!!

But seeing Xiang Zhuang, the long sword is vertical and horizontal, the cold light is swallowing, one move and one style, it seems to be gorgeous and ethereal, but in fact, it is murderous and incomparable, looking at the camp, Xiang Zhuang, Xiang Bo, Zhang Liang, Yi Xiaochuan, and Liu Bang, all fearful.

At today's Hongmen banquet, Xiang Yu had bad intentions, and now he ordered the generals under his command to dance the sword to cheer up, and the cat is self-evident, but Xiang Yu himself, Fan Zeng, and Lin Chuan are calm.

Xiang Zhuang danced the sword, gradually getting better, the original vain and gorgeous moves, the murderous spirit gradually increased, Xiang Zhuang's sword tip slowly moved closer to Liu Bang, brushing and brushing! I saw Xiang Zhuang's sword flower shake, and three cold sword blades pointed directly at Liu Bang's heart.

Fortunately, Liu Bang was already prepared, and he was busy dodging left and right, but he was still scared by Xiang Zhuang's fierce offensive, don't look at Liu Bang now commanding the army to fight, the scenery is infinite, but he has long passed the age of military practice, every time he fights on the battlefield, Liu Bang never comes forward in person, and has always been handed over to Xiahou Ying, Zhang Liang, and Han Xin under his command!!

The original second fierce general of Chu and Han, General Fan Xu under Liu Bang, as early as a few years ago, when Hu Hai took the throne, he was under the command of Lin Chuan.

"Good swordsmanship!" Xiang Yu suddenly raised his wine glass and praised loudly.

Hearing Xiang Yu's words, Xiang Zhuang suddenly understood, the sword blade changed, and the original gorgeous and changing sword moves were completely transformed into iron-blooded sword moves, one move and one style, all of which were aimed at Liu Bang's vital points,......

Xiang Zhuang sword dance, intended for Pei Gong!

Looking at Liu Bang, who was in danger, Zhang Liang, Xiang Bo, and Yi Xiaochuan changed color, only to see Yi Xiaochuan's long sword on the table unsheathed, raised his sword, and said with a smile, "General Xiang Zhuang, dancing the sword alone, it's a little tasteless, why don't I dance with the general?" ”

Xiang Zhuang was swept away by Yi Xiaochuan's sword, and replied with a somewhat solemn face, "In this way, please ask the general to give me more advice...... "The two people with different thoughts suddenly began to fight fiercely, after years of cultivation, Yi Xiaochuan has cultivated from the former Yudan martial artist to the early stage of the merger, and Xiang Zhuang on the opposite side is also a combined martial artist who has experienced a hundred battles.

The two combined martial artists, the sword blade is sassy, the cold light is awe-inspiring, and people applaud again and again!

Fortunately, the two of them took care of the scene and fought purely with swordsmanship and speed, otherwise the skills of the two combined martial artists would be displayed, and Xiang Yu's army camp would not want it......

Bumper Bump!!

The swords collided, making a sonorous and crisp sound, Yi Xiaochuan and Xiang Zhuang are indistinguishable in terms of skill and experience, but he has refined martial arts for many years, and his swordsmanship is slightly higher than Xiang Zhuang, so he has a slight upper hand, just to be distracted under Xiang Zhuang's sword and protect Liu Bang, he is a little powerless.

"Virtuous brother!" Xiang Yu's strange move was outstanding, when Yi Xiaochuan was wholeheartedly facing the enemy, he suddenly stopped the other party, Yi Xiaochuan's subconscious eyes were off, Xiang Zhuang seized the opportunity, crossed Yi Xiaochuan's side, and fought hard with a sword.

But Yi Xiaochuan reacted very quickly, and actually fell backwards, and slammed the scabbard in the other hand, and after the lightning and flint, Yi Xiaochuan's scabbard happened to catch the tip of Xiang Zhuang's sword, and Xiang Zhuang's sword had already stabbed Liu Bang in the chest.

If it weren't for Yi Xiaochuan's alertness, what hit Liu Bang at this time would not be the scabbard, but the sword blade...... Seeing Xiang Zhuang's surprise attack and falling short, a trace of anger flashed on Xiang Yu's face.

Xiang Yu knew very well what Yi Xiaochuan meant today, he wanted to save Liu Bang's life, but Liu Bang, a shameless man, agreed with him and Yi Xiaochuan first, and used tricks to prevent the two from entering the prison, and even wanted to claim to be the king in vain, such an insidious villain, how could Xiang Yu let it go easily.

Seeing today's scene, Xiang Yu already knows that Xiang Zhuang's sword dance plan has been completely exposed, if it continues like this, I am afraid that the scene will be completely out of control, if it is not necessary, Xiang Yu is really unwilling to meet Yi Xiaochuan, a good brother, with a sword.

"Xiang Zhuang, go down!"

Xiang Zhuang hugged his sword and saluted, and said to Yi Xiaochuan, "General, Xiang Zhuang has offended!" ”

At this time, Zhang Liang finally stood up and said, "Today, Pei Gong came here to Hongmen, there is a matter, I would like to tell King Xiang!" ”

"What?" Xiang Yu glanced at Liu Bang with a disdainful look of disdain, and asked lightly, "Brother Liu, your trick of not being able to rotten your tongue has no effect on me Xiang Yu. ”

Liu Bang saw Zhang Liang standing up without authorization, and he was also puzzled in his heart, but remembering Zhang Liang's resourceful expression on weekdays, he had no choice but to take advantage of the situation and said, "Zhang Liang, you will wait for me to come here today, hurry up!" ”

"Whoa!"

"Not long ago, Pei Gong was lucky enough to break through Xianyang and destroy the Qin Dynasty, but in Pei Gong's view, being able to destroy Great Qin was all the credit of King Xiang and General Yi, so Pei Gong thought about it and finally decided to lead the people back to Surabaya from now on, and no longer pay attention to the various conquests in the Central Plains."

The meaning of Zhang Liang's words is actually to say to Xiang Yu and Yi Xiaochuan that Liu Bang admits that he does not dare to fight for power and hegemony anymore, and plots for the world, he just wants to guarantee his life, return to his hometown, and spend his old age in peace!!

"Oh? Is this true? Saying that, Xiang Yu set his eyes on Liu Bang, although Xiang Yu acted recklessly, but he was also a smart person, seeing Zhang Liang's abrupt speech, Liu Bang had a panicked look, and he already understood that such a move of "saying goodbye to the old man and returning to his hometown" was Zhang Liang's whim.

In other words, Lin Chuan or Liu Bang, if you know that the opponent will raise the white flag and surrender, and retire, you will never stop there, as the so-called "weeds are inexhaustible, and the spring breeze blows and grows", only by cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, can it be done once and for all.

But Xiang Yu is a brave man who stresses righteousness and faithfulness, and he disdains villains, which is not only Xiang Yu's biggest advantage, but also his biggest flaw.

Seeing Xiang Yu's "wolf-like" hideous eyes, although Liu Bang was ambitious, in the face of his net worth, he still chose to back down, only to see him get up slowly, and said helplessly, "That's true, within three days, Liu Bang will set off and return." ”

"Good!" Xiang Yu was already hesitant because of Yi Xiaochuan's intervention, and when he heard Liu Bang's promise to retire and no longer be his enemy, his eyebrows stretched, but Fan Zeng next to Lin Chuan looked dissatisfied, Fan Zeng, who had insight into human nature, couldn't see that this was Zhang Liang's plan to delay the army.

One day, when Liu Bang's power increases greatly and rises strongly, the promise made at this moment will instantly come to naught, and Liu Bang, a confidant, will be even more difficult to deal with, and then, just when Fan Zeng was about to speak out to dissuade him, Lin Chuan secretly held down Fan Zeng.

I saw Lin Chuan suddenly get up and said, "Since Pei Gong has the intention to retreat, then the 10,000 soldiers and horses under your command, as well as these generals,...... Bring it back to Pei County, I'm afraid there will be nowhere to put it, right? ”

Hearing Lin Chuan's hints intentionally or unintentionally, Fan Zeng suddenly smiled, if Liu Bang handed over the military power according to Lin Chuan's intentions, or even handed over the generals under his command in one go, at that time, even if Liu Bang's thief heart did not die, he would no longer have a foundation, so there was no need to worry.

In order to save his life, he handed over all the loyal generals and soldiers and horses under his command, such a lord and commander, from now on, who would dare to give him his life? is worthy of being the Great Qin National Teacher, this method is really turning his hands into clouds and covering his hands into rain.

Originally, Xiang Yu didn't expect to seize the first layer of military power, but after Lin Chuan's suggestion, he suddenly understood, "If Liu Bang leads the crowd to return to his hometown, return to the field in seclusion on the surface, secretly recruit people and horses, and accumulate strength, one day, it will become a big trouble!" ”

Different from Xiang Yu's domineering and brave way of commanding troops, Liu Bang knew his weakness from the beginning, and when it came to leading troops to fight, even if he was assisted by a general like Han Xin, he would definitely not be able to compare to peerless handsome talents like Xiang Yu and Yi Xiaochuan.

Therefore, Liu Bang took Lu Pheasant's suggestion, went all out, and used all means to proclaim that he was a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, and the destiny of heaven returned,...... So everywhere Liu Bang went, the ignorant people ate pot pulp to welcome the king.

If Liu Bang is really indulged in the return of his people, with Liu Bang's army, the image of benevolence and righteousness in the hearts of the people of the world, in a few years, Liu Bang may be able to recruit and train a mighty army that is enough to compete with him.

Thinking of this, Xiang Yu couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, extremely afraid!!

And the Chu and Han dynasties in history competed for hegemony, and it was indeed the case, after the Qin Dynasty was destroyed at the beginning, the remnants of the six countries fought chaotically, Xiang Yu relied on his own bravery and a group of followers, crowned the world, and no one was invincible, and Liu Bang was just a rabble that could be destroyed with a snap of his fingers in Xiang Yu's eyes.

But Liu Bang went around to win alliances, united, and took the opportunity to strengthen himself, and finally in the five-year process of fighting for hegemony, it developed rapidly, from the beginning of the weak group, with the help of benevolence and righteousness, the group will be fully supported, and finally grow into a behemoth enough to confront Xiang Yu.

After the siege of Qixia, he used the strategy of ambush on all sides to defeat the Chu army and force Xiang Yu Wujiang to kill himself,...... Eventually, the world was unified and the Western Han Dynasty was established.

Liu Bang and Zhang Liang heard Lin Chuan's suggestion, their hearts trembled, if they just handed over the military power, it was nothing, but the most important thing was that Lin Chuan wanted Liu Bang to take the initiative and voluntarily hand over the generals under his command, and the soldiers were gone, in the name of Liu Bang's benevolence and righteousness, it wouldn't be long before more could be pulled.

But the generals under his command, these are all loyal and loyal to Liu Bang's brothers, if Liu Bang in order to save his life, all his brothers will be handed over, let Xiang Yu be around, then Liu Bang's reputation for benevolence and selflessness will be completely ruined.

Different from the modern "world style is declining" in later generations, the ancient society of Journey to the West, the ancient society of the southern Ganbu Continent, the folk customs are simple, and the people of the world, from the high-ranking officials and nobles, down to the common people, are extremely cherished for their reputation.

When Liu Bang started an incident, although a group of old brothers tried their best to help, the reputation of "eating and drinking, Liu Sanye" in the past made Liu Bang encounter unprecedented trouble when recruiting people.

If it weren't for Lu Pheasant's design, let Liu Bang "kill the white snake" and pretend to be a ghost, so as to establish the people's heart, I'm afraid Liu Bang is still unknown! ……

"Brother Liu, I think Brother Lin's words are reasonable, what do you think?" Seeing Liu Bang's miserable appearance with a bitter face, Xiang Yu was suddenly in a good mood and took the opportunity to remind.

"This ......" Liu Bang turned his gaze to Zhang Liang, with his cleverness, he was obviously unable to make a choice, at this moment, Liu Bang could only pin his hopes on Zhang Liang.

Although Zhang Liang is a genius through the ages and full of scheming, but in today's decision, he is also in a dilemma, and he is in a dilemma on both sides,...... Hehe, with Xiang Yu's appearance at this time, Liu Bang, with hundreds of light riders, I am afraid that he will not be able to leave Hongmen alive.

The most important thing is that Zhang Liang really doesn't dare to make decisions about this kind of life and death choice, because he knows very well that Liu Bang is a person, insidious and cunning, and unscrupulous.

When Liu Bang holds his life, in order to vent his anger, Zhang Liang himself will be in a catastrophe!

Although Zhang Liang knew this, he never dared to say it.

However, Zhang Liang can become a celebrity through the ages, naturally not an ordinary person, I saw him change his words, and asked lightly, "Dare to ask King Xiang, why do you want to keep the generals of Duke Pei, do you want to take it for your own use?" As long as Xiang Yu answers, he has the confidence to turn things around.

As long as it can be guaranteed that the generals under Liu Bang's command will follow Liu Bang back to Pei County, Zhang Liang will have the confidence to make a comeback, and the current 10,000 rabble under Liu Bang's command is insignificant at all.

Seeing this, Fan Zeng hurriedly grabbed the topic and replied, "This is our army's business, Mr. Zhang doesn't need to ask more, Pei Gong only needs to answer, yes or no, isn't Pei Gong thinking about something else in his heart, openly agreeing to King Xiang, but secretly he wants to lead the crowd back to Pei County, accumulate strength, and seek to seize the world?" Zhang Liang is a strange generation, but Fan Zeng is also not easy to match, so he easily turned the topic and forced Zhang Liang to ask.

Although these things, everyone present is well aware of their hearts, but it is not a simple matter to want to confide without a trace, from this point alone, it can be seen that Fan Zeng's resourcefulness is no less than Zhang Liang.

When Xiang Liang did not revolt before his death, Fan Zeng was already close friends with Xiang Liang, and he was able to learn skills, which was rare in the world.

A generation of strategists, to be able to achieve Fan Zeng's point, can be regarded as reaching the extreme!

"Brother Liu, I am so honest, but you are so spittering, what is the purpose, is it not good to deceive me Xiang Yujian?" Xiang Yu saw that the two sides were arguing, and directly turned the target to Liu Bang, who was cowering, and wanted to use his domineering momentum to force Liu Bang to submit.

It's just that although Liu Bang has a scoundrel personality and low eyes, he has great ambitions and ambitions, and in the face of this kind of choice related to his own fate, no matter how Xiang Yu determines, Liu Bang will not easily admit defeat. ……
