Chapter 129: Liu Bang's Predicament

When Liu Bang got the news, it was like five thunderbolts, he never dreamed that this kind of thing would happen. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

How could Xiang Yu blast open Hangu Pass with one blow?

Is it really the demon god Chiyou alive?

Liu Bang's army is not more than 300,000 when it is full, and Xiang Yu leads the princes to join forces with millions of dollars!

Liu Bang's troops were generally militia and surrendered troops recruited along the way, and their management was chaotic, they constrained each other, their fighting spirit was not high, and they lacked enough famous generals to lead them, so their combat effectiveness can be imagined.

Xiang Yu's situation is very different, most of them are the troops brought out by the Xiang family during the uprising, among which 18,000 Jiangdong soldiers have super combat effectiveness, and Xiang Yu's own prestige is like the sky, from the princes and generals to ordinary soldiers, who dares to disobey Xiang Yu's orders in the slightest?

Numbers, strength, fighting spirit, morale, army quality, number of generals...... The two sides are not on the same level!

The result of the two sides is hard-hitting, there is no suspense, and there is no doubt about death!

Liu Bang is not a fool, he can't see Xiang Qiang and Liu Weak?

But why did he dare to block Xiang Yu in front of Hangu Pass?

Because Hangu Pass is the first pass in the world!

Daqin has encountered crises many times for hundreds of years, and each time it only needs to firmly hold the Hangu Pass, and the six countries of Shandong have no way at all, and the strong defense of the Hangu Pass is exactly where Liu Bang's confidence lies!

Who would have thought that the overlord of Chu would strike.

Let Liu Bang's confidence be completely shattered!

This Xiongguan, which has been tested by hundreds of years of war, has been directly blasted open, and this terrifying destructive power has exceeded the limit of mortals, and even exceeded the limits of mortals' imagination, and I am afraid that there will be no such person like Xiang Yu from ancient times to the present!

What to do? What to do?

Immediately plead guilty to Xiang Yu?

When Liu Bang was anxious, Zhang Liang suddenly came to ask for a meeting, and when faced with the land fairy-like figure in front of him, Liu Bang once again showed an embarrassed expression, because he issued the order to deploy Hangu Pass, and he never asked Zhang Liang from beginning to end, if it wasn't for Liu Bang bypassing Zhang Liang and making his own assertion and cleverness, how could he end up in such a dilemma?

"Ofan, I really made a big mistake this time, please help me get through this difficulty. ”

Liu Bang's face was full of guilt, self-blame and humility.

At this time, we must take the initiative to admit our mistakes, Zhang Liang has millions of soldiers in his chest, and he will definitely be able to come up with the best solution. That's all bullshit!

As long as he can save his life this time, who cares about apologizing and admitting his mistakes.

Even if he is told to kneel and kowtow, Liu Bang will not hesitate!

The sky is falling, as long as Zhang Liang doesn't give up on him, there must be a solution!

Zhang Liang's expression did not change much, he still remained gentle and elegant, still kept calm and calm, and did not directly give Liu Bang countermeasures, but just asked: "Who gave Pei Gong a strategy to block King Xiang in Guguan?"

"A few villains slandered me, they said that Xiang Yu is ready to divide the Qin land into three points, and he doesn't plan to divide the king of Guanzhong at all, if I want to be the king of Guanzhong, I can only block the Hangu Pass to block Xiang Yu, and wait for King Huai to complete the separation. Liu Bang replied very honestly and truthfully, a trace of ruthlessness and murder flashed in his eyes: "Please rest assured, I will never keep these wastes!"

Pei Gong really wants to sit as the king of Guanzhong.

Because desire makes him lose his ability to judge.

Otherwise, how could it be possible to use such a stupid trick?

Zhang Liang was a little disappointed with Liu Bang, but he still asked patiently.

"Pei Gong thinks that today, is it King Huai's words that count or King Xiang's words count?"

"Xiang Yu, of course. ”

"Does Pei Gong think that your own troops are stronger, or is King Xiang's troops stronger?"

"I'm far less than one-tenth of Xiang Yu's. ”

"Pei Gong thinks that compared to yourself and King Xiang, whose strength is stronger and whose prestige is higher?"

"Xiang Yu is naturally a thousand times better than me!"

"After Chi You Xingtian and several other ancient demon gods, the land of Huaxia has never produced a martial arts supreme saint, so it is completely irrational to measure the power of King Xiang by common sense. Zhang Liang paused when he said this, and then said: "I have obtained military information, after Xiang Yu was furious in front of Hangu Pass, he has now begun to deploy troops, and he will start attacking Xianyang from tomorrow morning!"

"This, this, this ......"

Liu Bang's face was like ashes, and he was almost so frightened that he peed his pants.

The day Xiang Yu's army arrived, it was when Liu Bang was wiped out.

Liu Bang hurriedly handed over to Zhang Liang, just like a student asking the teacher for advice: "Please teach me the solution in the ovary!"

Zhang Liang flicked his fingers lightly, a Taoist formation shrouded the big tent, and the surrounding sounds were immediately blocked, no matter what happened inside from now on, he would never hear anything from the outside.

Zhang Liang asked seriously: "What is Pei Gong afraid of?"

"Of course it's Xiang Yu's anger, no one in the world can bear his anger!"

"Pei Gong's words are wrong, King Xiang is not afraid of being angry, we are afraid that he will not be angry. ”

Xiang Yu is not terrible to be angry, but he is afraid that he will not be angry! What is the truth of this? Liu Bang can't figure it out!

Zhang Liang asked Liu Bang: "If the identities of Pei Gong and Xiang Wang are reversed, and Pei Gong finds that Hangu Pass is blocked by the other party's card, then how will Pei Gong react and respond?"

Liu Bang's understanding is very high.

So I thought about the key.

The tyrannical Qin has been completely destroyed, the princes of the world have lost their goals, and a mutual struggle is inevitable.

Among the princes of the world, Liu Xiang is the strongest, who can pose a threat to Xiang Yu's group? It must be Liu Bang who destroyed Great Qin in the advanced pass, so no matter how the situation changes in the future, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu will inevitably have contradictions, and it is very likely that only one of the two families will be left in the end.

If it is destined from the beginning, it is either you or I die.

So why not kill the threat early?

To attack the opponent, you must be famous.

Liu Bang was replaced by Xiang Yu, and when he encountered this situation, wasn't it an excellent excuse to send to the door?

Xiang Yu wants to get through the core of the contradiction between the two families, and this time Hangu Pass blocking it is not only not a bad thing, but also an excellent excuse, so that Xiang Yu can take this opportunity to destroy Liu Bang in one fell swoop, and the other princes have nothing to say.

Isn't it a good thing to send to your door?

It's too late for great joy!

Why be angry?

Xiang Yu's anger showed that he didn't understand the key, and he didn't take Liu Bang in his eyes, but he just felt that his majesty was damaged and decided to save his face.

Therefore, Xiang Yu's order is not a strategic consideration, it is purely caused by personal feelings, as long as he does not realize the fundamental contradictions and consequences of the two families, he has no reason to kill Liu Bang, and he will inevitably find a glimmer of life from it!

Liu Bang threw himself to the ground for Zhang Liang's admiration.

Zhang Lianghui always looks at problems so thoroughly.

"Liang has a solution. ”

Zhang Liang didn't sell Guanzi and said his own way.

It turned out that Zhang Liang would get this news, it was Xiang Yu's cousin Uncle Xiang who told him overnight, if it wasn't for Xiang Bo revealing this important military information before the battle, I am afraid that when Xiang Yu's army is in front of him, Liu Bang will not be aware of the seriousness of the matter.

This Xiang Bo is the key person.

Zhang Liang took the opportunity to keep Uncle Xiang, and now he is outside the big tent.

Xiang Bo is Xiang Yu's cousin, and his official position is Chu Guo Zuoyi, which is quite a position of Zuo Prime Minister, so whether it is in the army or in front of Xiang Yu, Xiang Bo is a very weighty person, as long as Liu Bang firmly grasps Xiang Bo, at least he can postpone Xiang Yu's offensive plan, as long as he can buy time for mediation, this crisis may not be unsolvable.

Good!

That's great!

Liu Bang was immediately relieved when he got Zhang Liang's guidance!

But it was at this time that he suddenly realized something.

Liu Bang's slender eyes narrowed slightly, stared at Zhang Liang in front of him, and asked in a casual tone: "Ofan, this Uncle Xiang seems to have a really good relationship with you, such an important military situation was revealed to you overnight." ”

Pei Gong was already suspicious of Zhang Liang.

Xiang Bo is Xiang Yu's confidant, why did he reveal the secret to Zhang Liang?

Zhang Liang can't explain this problem well, and Pei Gong will inevitably leave a thorn in his heart.

This may not show up in the short term, but at least Zhang Liang will be wary of it in the future, and if the time is ripe, he will even take action against Zhang Liang...... This is Liu Bang!

What kind of character is Zhang Liang? How can you not see Pei Gong's suspicions?

He smiled slightly, but instead of being angry, he was very pleased.

Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, has one-tenth of Pei Gong's scheming, and there is no one in this world who can compete with him.

"In the past, Xiang Bo killed people in Qin and was about to be executed, but it was Liang who came to the rescue and let him escape. Xiang Bo, although he has no strategy, he attaches great importance to righteousness, and revealing such an important military situation to Liang is purely for the sake of saving his life. ”

Liu Bang nodded.

His instincts told him that there should be no lying, and without further ado, start immediately.

A few minutes later.

Xiang Bo reluctantly walked into the big tent.

This is a middle-aged man with a beard and a loyal face, this time he came to tell the whistle, he just wanted to save his benefactor Zhang Liang, but he didn't want Zhang Liang to forcibly introduce him to Pei Gong, and when Xiang Bo walked in, he was directly stunned on the spot.

More than ten large treasure chests full of jewels were neatly placed in front of him, and the light that came out of them made Xiang Bo a little dazzled, and an elderly man in red stood in the middle, when he saw Xiang Bo come in, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed deeply.

"My brother is on top, and I am worshiped by my younger brother Liu Bang!"

Xiang Bo's face changed drastically.

Liu Bang is a prince and a king.

At this moment, he respectfully worships in front of him and is commensurate with his brother?

After Liu Bang invited Uncle Xiang to sit down, he poured wine for him even more diligently: "I have heard for a long time that my brother is righteous and thin, and it is true when I see it today, if it is not for my brother to tell me about it, I am afraid that the younger brother will die in vain." ”

Xiang Bo had a strange feeling in his heart.

How could such a weak person dare to confront Xiang Yu?

Xiang Bo said expressionlessly: "King Chu Huai has always tried to weaken King Xiang, and in the battle of Julu in the past, he even sent Song Yi as the main general to contain King Xiang's power, so that King Xiang and his generals could not make a move. If it weren't for King Xiang who immediately beheaded Song Yi, the outcome of the battle of Julu was still unknown, and now Pei Gong blocked King Xiang in the name of King Huai, which can be regarded as a taboo against King Xiang, so King Xiang was furious. ”

The younger brother was also confused for a while. Liu Bang hurriedly filled Uncle Xiang with a glass of wine again, "The younger brother was born poor, has no vision, just wants to take advantage of the troubled times to share a piece of land, but I don't want to offend King Xiang because of this, but the younger brother Liu Bang can swear to the sky, I have always been in awe of King Xiang, and there is absolutely no disobedience." ”

Forgive me for not daring.

Xiang Bo thought so.

Xiang Bo also said: "But I heard that after Pei Gong entered the customs, he not only made three chapters of the law with the people, but also sealed all the treasure houses, preparing to enjoy these riches exclusively. ”

"Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! Great misunderstanding!" Liu Bang shouted again and again: "The little brother was lucky to enter the customs, all because of the merit of King Xiang, if it wasn't for King Xiang to destroy the main force of the Qin army, how could the little brother pick up this great feat?" I was terrified in the face of Xianyang's wealth Meiji, so I sealed the wealth and prevented the soldiers from snatching it, and looked forward to the princes entering the customs to share day and night. ”

Xiang Bo was a little convinced when he saw this.

Liu Bang doesn't look like a person who has achieved great things.

He didn't even dare to take the treasure, saying that he wanted to fight against King Xiang was even more nonsense.

After a few polite words with Xiang Bo, Liu Bang suddenly asked: "The younger brother heard that the elder brother has a son, but now he has reached the age but has not yet married a wife?"

"Why do you ask this?"

"The younger brother has an only daughter, Liu Le, the official age to be married, you and I might as well take this opportunity to make a marriage contract and become in-laws!"

Xiang Bo was shocked when he heard this, and the wine almost spilled out, Liu Bang was the second person in the world, and he actually personally asked to be in-laws with Xiang Bo, and let his son take the daughter of a prince and king, what an honor it was for Xiang Bo, he moved his mind on the spot.

"After all, Pei Gong has merit in destroying Qin, although there are some mistakes, but the sin is not death. King Xiang's attack on the destruction of Qin's heroes was an act contrary to benevolence and righteousness after all, and he was afraid that the prestige of King Xiang I's heroes would be damaged. Zhang Liang began to analyze to Uncle Xiang: "The violent Qin has just been destroyed, the world is unstable, if King Xiang forgives Duke Pei, Uncle Xiang and Duke Pei have become in-laws, since then Liu Xiang and the two families have joined forces, King Xiang has been invincible in the world, and has the full support of Duke Pei, the status is bound to be solid, who dares to disobey the princes? This is a good thing for both Liu Xiang and the two families!"

He felt that what Zhang Liang said made sense.

Pei Gong is also a hero no matter what.

How can this hero who destroyed Qin say that he will be extinguished? What is the morality of this!

Liu Bang stood up and bowed to Uncle Xiang: "As long as my brother saves my life, my younger brother will always remember his great kindness!"

"Pei Gong is benevolent and generous, since this matter is a misunderstanding, I think there is still room for maneuver. Xiang Bo finally said: "I will go back and advise King Xiang to let King Xiang's army stop attacking." ”

Liu Bang was overjoyed and toasted three glasses.

The two also discussed the details of the marriage.

Xiang Bo was satisfied and returned to Xiang Wang's troops, although he didn't know what method to use, but he really persuaded Xiang Yu to stop the attack, and at this time there was another news that Xiang Yu was ready to garrison Hongmen and feast the princes.

This is no small matter.

Liu Bang didn't know whether he should go to this Hongmen banquet or not.

Zhang Liang deliberately counted a hexagram for this, and the result of the hexagram showed that Hongmen was extremely dangerous.

The most important thing is that there are huge variables in this Hongmen banquet, and the half-saint Zhang Liang cannot deduce the result.

Liu Bang felt very strange: "What is variable?!"

Zhang Liang fell into deep thought, "Strange, the hexagram shows that in addition to the princes, there is a special force involved in the Hongmen Banquet, which may be able to stir up the whole situation, but Liang can't calculate where this power comes from. ”

Liu Bang was even more panicked.

is so dangerous and variable, how can you go to the banquet with confidence?

If he did not attend the Hongmen banquet, it meant that Liu Bang was weak-minded, and Fan Zeng would inevitably use this excuse to try his best to instigate Xiang Yu to send troops to attack Liu Bang.

Zhang Liang said: "Although the Hongmen banquet is dangerous, there is a glimmer of life, if you don't go to this banquet, you will die!"

Pei Gong almost went limp when he heard this.

"Please rest assured, I will swear to protect Pei Gong's safety!"

"If Xiang Yu's kid really wants to play with his life, I'll be the first to fight with him!"

Liu Bang's gaze swept over Zhang Liang, Xiao He, Fan Xu, Cao Shen, Xiahou Ying and others, these are his own backbone ministers, this Hongmen banquet will inevitably have some twists and turns and dangers, and all he can rely on is these people in front of him.

Since there is no escape.

Then take the plunge and participate!

Liu Bang's gaze swept over everyone and forcibly suppressed his fear: "This banquet is very important, Cao Shen is in charge of the army, once there is a change, act cheaply." ”
