The next day, Pei Chengcheng and Xiao He and others were discussing in the camp when they suddenly reported the arrival of the envoy of the king of Chu. Pei Gong let the messenger in. When the envoy saw Pei Gong, he said, "The king of Chu has an order, please ask General Liu to station his troops and horses to resist the Qin army." Pei Gong asked the envoy: "Now that the battle has been lost, does the king of Chu know the reason for the defeat?" The messenger said, "I don't know." Pei Gong said: "If Sima Yi comes again, this little soldier and horse can no longer resist the Qin army, please send another army to support, and send food to the army as soon as possible." The messenger was noncommittal. Pei Gong said again: "Yesterday's defeat is not Liu's crime, and there is no food in the army, so you go and urge food?" The messenger said, "The king only said that he was stationed in the army, and did not say anything about the military rations." Fan Xu pulled out his sword with a "swish" on the side, put the sword on the messenger's neck and said, "Go and urge food, how can Lao Tzu fight when he is hungry?" When the messenger saw that Fan was rude, he hurriedly begged for mercy. Pei Gong said again: "This defeat is the responsibility of the prison army, you must explain this matter clearly to the King of Chu!" Then he drove the messenger out. The messenger fled with his head in his hands. The soldiers laughed.

At noon, the military scouts of Xiao County came to report that Qin Jia of Shangzhu State had won the battle in Xiang County, and Sima Yi had withdrawn. Only then did Pei Gong feel relieved, so he said to the soldiers: "Now if the King of Chu sends another army of soldiers and horses, we will take the initiative to attack the Qin army, and we can defeat Sima Yi in one fell swoop." Xiao He said: "We should tell the King of Chu immediately and ask him to support us as soon as possible." Pei Gong sent someone to report the matter to Liucheng. But after waiting for a long time, the people sent came back and said that the king of Chu only let Pei Gongtun settle down and wait for orders, and did not say anything about increasing troops. When Pei Gong heard this, he was very puzzled in his heart, so he said to Xiao He: "What does King Chu mean by this?" Only let us camp here, and not come to the labor army, is it just to prevent Sima Yi from attacking? Xiao He persuaded: "'If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan.'" 'At the moment of the great enemy, let's be patient for the time being and see how the King of Chu deals with it? Cao Shen and others: "It's better to go back to Pei County and do it yourself." Xiao He said: "No, there are too few soldiers and horses in Pei County, if Sima Yi comes to attack first, we will be too dangerous, and Fengyi is still controlled by the Wei people!" Pei Gong said indignantly: "Right now, the Qin army is a public enemy, if you don't retreat, the entire Chu land will be broken by them!" After Pei Gong finished speaking, he sighed a few times, and had no choice but to go out of the camp to the Surabaya River, he looked at the other side, and eagerly hoped that the king of Chu would send someone to labor the army earlier, otherwise everyone would not even be able to eat. Just as Pei Gong was pacing back and forth, he suddenly saw some people walking downstream on the other side of the river, and they sang as they walked:

It is not normal for God to go mad, and the people of the lower world are suffering.

Decision-making mistakes are unreasonable, lack of strategy and lack of vision.

It is ridiculous not to rely on the sages and sages, and to have ambitions and no plans.

Your actions are not far-sighted, so sing and persuade me to be king.

Although you and I have different backgrounds, after all, we met in the field.

I've come to you to conspire, and I'm afraid I'm not obedient in vain.

I have good things to talk about, don't tell them as a joke.

The ancients had something to say: "If you have something, please ask for advice on chopping wood." ”

Pei Gong was very surprised, and after listening to the lyrics, he asked Xiao He: "What song is this?" Xiao He replied: "This is a "board" in the Daya chapter of the Book of Songs. Pei Gong asked what the board meant. Xiao He said: "The board is the opposite, which violates the meaning of common sense." While the two were talking, someone shouted to this side, "May I ask where are your soldiers and horses?" A sergeant replied: "We are the Chu army, and we are here to resist the Qin army." "When those people heard that it was the Chu army, some people rowed a small boat to this side, and after a while, they went ashore. Pei Gong stepped forward and asked, "Who is the foot?" Where are you from? Where are you going? A man who walked in the front saluted and said: "My name is Hua Wuwu, Xiapi people, and I want to go to Liucheng to meet the king of Chu." Pei Gong returned the salute and said: "My name is Liu Bang, a native of Pei County, I fought with Sima Yi yesterday, the Qin army is strong, and we are stationed here after we are defeated." Hua Wuwu said: "'Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers', can you fight again if you lose?" Pei Gong said: "What I said is right, we are trying to find a way to deal with Qin Junli." ”

Xiao He asked: "Foot, what you sang in the song just now is very profound, I don't know who taught it?" Hua Wuwu smiled and said: "My master often sings like this, and we also learn to sing after listening to it." Pei Gong asked, "Who is the master of your family?" Hua said: "His reputation is great, you must know." Pei Gong asked, "Who is he?" Hua Wuwu said: "His surname is Zhang Mingliang, the word Zifang, because of the failed assassination attempt on Ying Zheng in Bolangsha, he has lived in seclusion in Xiapi for a long time. Pei Gong was shocked when he heard this: "Could it be that the strong man who defeated the First Emperor in Bolang Sand Cone ten years ago?" Hua Wuwu said that it was him. Pei Gong and the others were very shocked, so they asked, "Where is your master now?" Hua Wuwu pointed to the other side of the river and said, "It's just behind, we are exploring the way in front." Pei Gong sighed: "Zhang Zhuangshi is a hero like Zhuzhu and Jing Ke!" He performed the feat of assassinating Emperor Qin back then, who in the world doesn't know? I don't know? This person is so famous that I don't want to meet here today, I'm really lucky! ”

Fan Xu said on the side: "This person must be a strong man, right?" How is it better than me? Hua Wuwu laughed and said, "He's not a strong man. Fan Xu asked strangely: "If it's not a strong man, how dare you cone the First Emperor?" Hua Wuwu smiled: "Hitting Qin is just a dare!" Xiao He arched his hand and asked, "What kind of knowledge does your master do?" Hua Wuwu said with a smile: "During his seclusion, he read books, played the piano, fenced and played the flute, made friends, and was diligent in farming, and he was very proficient in everything. As for what kind of knowledge, I just like to read military books. Pei Gong said to Xiao He: "Isn't this person a great sage?" Xiao He asked again: "Excuse me, where are you going?" Hua Wuwu said: "I heard that the king of Chu called on the people to oppose Qin in Liucheng, and my master is ready to go to him." "Pei Gong pondered the old man Bu Dao the day before yesterday, 'What he got is not a dragon or a dragon, and he is the assistant of Wang Ba.' This person hated Qin so much, he was once famous all over the world, and he liked to read military books, he must be a great person, so he happily said to Hua harmlessly: "I know that the king of Chu will not succeed, and Mr. Zifang will not be reused if he goes." In this case, when your master comes, please introduce me to him, I would love to get to know him. Hua Wuwu agreed, so he asked people to row the boats over to pick up the master. Pei Gong also hurriedly sent someone to row across the river to meet Mr. Zifang, and then led the army to wait on the shore. There is a poem:

Where is the talent of the king? Met celebrities on the way.

The words are like spring thunder, and the emperor is a Han chip.

After a while, the boat crossed the shore. Pei Gong saw a few people in a distance getting into a boat with a man who looked like a man in white, and rowed over to this side, and there were more than a hundred people behind him. When the man in white got on board, he stood at the bow of the boat and played the flute, and the sound was very pleasant, and several people sitting on the boat also sang together:

I love Duan Ganmu and leaned over to Wenhou.

I love Lu Zhonglian, but I talk and laugh but I am enemies.

No. is a thousand-mile horse, solving difficulties and worries.

Achievements are not rewarded, and the fame of the four seas is always retained.

Who can travel with them?

Seeing that the boat was slowly approaching, Pei Gong said harmlessly: "This is my master." Pei Gong hurriedly stepped forward to greet him. When the ship docked, the man in white stepped off the boat. Suddenly a person behind him said, "Who is here?" Hua replied: "General Liu of Pei County has been waiting for his master here for a long time. Zhang Liang handed the flute in his hand to the person behind him, and then met Pei Gong. He looked Pei Gong up and down, and saw that he was looking good, his beard and sideburns were very good-looking, and he was a nobleman, and he was secretly amazed in his heart. And Pei Gong imagined that Zhang Liang was a burly strong man, a rare hero in the world, but after meeting, he realized that Zhang Liang was actually a weak scholar, he had a long beard three times, and his facial features were very handsome, just like a fairy from the sky. I saw Zhang Liang holding the white rhinoceros in his right hand, lightly brushing a few strands of beautiful beard with his left hand, and looking at Pei Gong with a scrutinizing gaze.

Pei Gong said respectfully: "Mr. is the warrior who attacked Qin in Bolangsha in the past?" Zhang Liang replied with a smile: "Those are all the reckless actions of someone Han in the past, why bother?" Pei Gong was even more strange, and asked: "Mr. is Zhang Liang who attacked Qin, why does he call himself Han someone?" Zhang Liang replied with a smile: "My surname is Zhang Mingliang, the character Zifang, and I am from the X country." In the past, in order to avoid the arrest of the Qin State, he took the alias of Han Xue. Pei Gong then understood, and said in surprise: "So that's the case, Mr. is so famous, I don't want to meet here!" Zhang Liang asked Pei Gong: "Why is the general stationed troops here?" Pei Gong sighed and said, "It's hard to say! He first instructed Cao Wushu and Lu Juan to use a boat to take all the men and horses of the ovary across the river, and then invited Zhang Liang to the camp for a while. Zhang Liang came to the barracks with Pei Gong, Xiao He and others and sat down. Pei Gong saw that there were two strong men standing behind Zhang Liang, so he asked who they were. Zhang Liang said: "He is my friend grandson and brother Zhang Xuan. The two of them saluted Pei Gong.

After meeting each other, Pei Gong also reported to his family: "My name is Liu Bang, from Pei County." Just because he didn't know what he could do, he brought a group of brothers to the army, and now he has experienced dozens of battles. But I didn't expect my brother to rebel and dedicate my hometown Fengyi to the Wei people, and my family and father fell into the hands of the Wei people. Pei Gong told him about the previous events and the defeat in the battle with Sima Yi. Who knew that after hearing this, Zhang Liang laughed heartily and said: "'Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers,' why should the general recover his heart because of a small defeat? Pei Gong said: "Sir is right, I am trying to find a way to deal with the Qin army." Mr. has the ambition to destroy Qin, and he is by no means an ordinary person, but why did he come to vote for the king of Chu today? Zhang Liang said: "It's only because my ancestor was the fifth generation of Xianghan, so he took revenge on Qin; It was only because of his short-sightedness that he accidentally hit the deputy car in Bolangsha, and he had to die in the world. Now Qi, Chu, Yan, Zhao, and Wei have all become independent, but the country of X has not yet been restored, so I led my children to go to Liucheng to meet the king of Chu, in order to make a difference. If there is a foundation in the future, it is necessary to restore the foundation of country X. Pei Gong affirmed: "The king of Chu is a useless person, plus the gang of people under him can't do it, they won't reuse Mr.?" Mr. is a great talent, who in the world does not know? I hope that my husband will stay in my army, and he will be a teacher for me, a foolish man, and I will definitely be able to obey my words. In the future, we will work together for a great cause, I don't know what Mr. thinks? ”

Zhang Liang said: "But I am determined to restore South Korea, and your request is really difficult to obey!" Pei Gong said sincerely: "Although I am only a pavilion chief, I have the ambition to destroy Qin, because there is no one around me who has a plan, so things have been repeatedly frustrated. Since Mr. has long had the heart to plan for Qin and is courageous, he will stay in my army and will definitely be able to show his ambition in life. If I can open up the situation in the future, I will definitely help Mr. to restore the foundation of country X! Xiao He also said: "The king of Chu is not a weapon of heroism, if Mr. goes, he will definitely not be successful." I hope that Mr. can stay in Pei Gong's army and generously display the talents of Yi and Lu to save the world, which will be the luck of the people! ”

Zhang Liang carefully observed Xiao He, and saw that he was not an ordinary person, and saw that Cao Shen, Fan Hao and others were also heroes, so he got up and saluted: "Since General Liu values me so much, I will temporarily stay to help the general recover Fengyi." However, when Fengyi is recaptured, I will go to recover the land of Han in order to fulfill the duties of Han Chen, please be sure to grant my request when the general arrives? Pei Gong immediately said: "Mr. does not forget the ancestral industry of his homeland, this is the duty of being a minister, I admire it very much, how can I not agree to your request?" Then he sincerely asked Zifang and said: "Now the world is in chaos, the heroes are everywhere, my Liu Bang is a small general, only guarding a small Pei County, and now it is a dilemma, what should I do, sir?" ”

Zhang Liang pondered: "'A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. 'I'm always adapting. The first step should be to get rid of the predicament first, and then go back to Pei County to rectify the soldiers and start a battle with the Qin army! Pei Gong said yes, and ordered Cao Shen and Fan Xu to prepare to leave here. Zhang Liang said: "Wait, you should get rid of the current predicament first!" Pei Gong asked what the predicament was. Zhang Liang said: "You took the soldiers and horses of the King of Chu, how could he let you go?" He has already sent someone to ask for soldiers and horses, please fight immediately! After listening to Zhang Liang's words, Pei Gong felt incredible, so he half-convinced and ordered everyone to come out of the camp to inspect. But as soon as they left the camp, they saw a troop of horses in the direction of Liucheng. The soldiers were very surprised.

After a while, this army of soldiers and horses came to the front of the camp, and a person flashed out under the door, it was Situ Ningjun, Dong Qian on his left, Zheng Bu on his right, the three of them were holding weapons, and they were violent. Ning Jun raised his whip and scolded: "Liu Bang, why haven't you returned the soldiers and horses for a long time? Pei Gong said angrily: "We resisted the Qin army for you, you didn't fulfill your promise, but came violently, do you want to be angry?" At this time, the sergeants behind Pei Gong said in unison: "We are willing to follow General Liu!" Resolutely do not return to the city! As soon as Ning Jun heard this, he immediately sent Dong Qian and Zheng Bu to arrest Pei Gong. Cao Shen and Fan Hao rushed out from both sides to block the two. Ning Jun wanted to come to capture Pei Gong in person, but Xiahou Ying also stopped him. The two sides confronted each other. Dong Qian and Zheng Bu were furious, so they fought with Cao Shen and Fan Xu. But how could they be Cao and Fan's opponents? After a few rounds, he was defeated by the two. Ning Jun saw that he couldn't catch Pei Gong and couldn't take the army away, so he had no choice but to run away. After they walked away, Pei Gong said to Zhang Liang: "Mr. is really prescient!" Zhang Liang persuaded Pei Gong to return to Pei County to rectify the army. Pei Gong was overjoyed, so he immediately ordered Bazhai to set off. Xiao He said to Pei Gong again: "Pei Gong is fortunate to have Daxian today, and he should inform Zhou Bo and Ji Xin so that they can prepare to meet them." Pei Gong said yes, so he sent someone to Pei County first.

When Pei Gong and Zhang Liang came to Pei County, they had already alarmed the people of a county, and they saw everyone helping the old and the young to come to watch the great hero who assassinated the first emperor that year. For a time, the gates of the city were surrounded by water. Zhou Bo and Ji Xin also went out of the city early to greet Zhang Liang and Pei Gong. They lined up the army in two lines, only to see the flags fluttering, the halberds, and the common people burning incense to greet them. Pei Gong led Zhang Liang into the city. Everyone came to the mansion, and Pei Gong ordered a big banquet on the public hall of Pei County to celebrate solemnly. The people of Pei County were elated and beaming.

On the same day, Pei Gong made Zhang Liang a stable general and put him in charge of all the cavalry in Pei County. Zhang Liang saw that he had just arrived and had been reused by Pei Gong, so he persuaded Pei Gong to recruit men and horses, and he wanted to train for Pei Gong to prevent the Qin army from attacking. Pei Gong immediately complied. Since then, Pei Gong has treated Mr. Zifang with the same courtesy as a teacher. There is a long poem alone, praising Liu Peigong and Mr. Zifang for meeting in Liudi and starting their great cause of destroying Qin Xinghan together:

The king of Qin rode on the mountains and rivers, and finally united in five hundred years. Success is not based on benevolence, and there are many abuses of people's power and maladministration.

Thousands of horses rode on the patrol of Kongtong, and the courtiers pointed out the clouds. Moved to the East to seal Taidai, dreaming of Zhouding Town Antai.

When I returned to Beijing, I was even more afraid of the small palace, and I wanted to be thoughtful before and after death. The construction of the civil whip Cangli, millions of strong men will return to the indefinite.

The mirage is illusory, and boys and girls seek it all over the place. Thousands of families are miserable and resentful, and they are willing to make their children and grandchildren chase the waves.

The vast sea can't go back, and the sky is dark and tears flying. Where is the elixir of immortality? Dune Remnant Burial Cold Ashes.

The second xx changed Benjia, and reused the eunuch erecting eagle canine teeth. Li Si supervised and forcibly released, and punished relatives and virtuous people.

Beiting frequently reported the news of the murder, and conscripted 100,000 soldiers to go to the border. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang entered the queue, and the delay should be like a mountain.

When the country suffered, the storm suddenly rose in Daze Township. A thunderclap shook the sky, and heroes from all over the world should be raised.

Chu, Zhao, Yan, Qi and Wei were independent, and the heroes were entangled one after another. The five-way volunteers are all together, knocking directly to break the obsession.

Emperor Qin woke up from a dream and used Zhang Han, and the opera pavilion was returned in a battle. Defeat and retreat are like mountains, and Zhang Chu's achievements are like dreams.

Xiao He alone cherished An Minzhi and summoned Liu Ji to plan for it. Swore to destroy the tyrannical Qin and set China, and the journey of the horse began from here.

After a few months, his vitality was damaged, and the soldiers were hesitant. Jiangdong Xiang's achievements are unparalleled.

Eight thousand children crossed the Yangtze River, and Han Xinying was busy with the army. Zhang Liang had great ambitions and lived in seclusion for ten years.

It is said that Huangshi knows the rise and fall, and the belly hides the male soldier Pi Yilu. The hatred of the family and the country is unusual, and he leaves his hometown with the qin book in his arms.

If you don't go to Chencheng, you don't invest in the project, and you will cross the river to meet Liu Bang. The roadside met and talked, and the hero became virtuous from then on.

The history of Kyushu is a clear gentleman, and he is not a bird's nest to guard the pillars. Feng Soaring in Wanren, overlooking Dehui Fang to live.

Discerning eyes can recognize the true hero, and the wind and clouds will start from here. Catch the wind and wash the dust and set up a wine banquet, and suddenly persuade the camp to fight during the banquet.

Haojie was suspicious in his heart, and reluctantly left the camp to see the prancing horse. The smoke and dust rolled in for a long time, and sure enough, Ning Jun came to fight.

Sanying's retreat from the enemy was impressive, and Mr. Fang Zhi had foresight. As soon as the cannon rang out, he left the land and went back to Pei County to reorganize the army.

Long Xiang looks at the world and opens up the world to prosper Hanji. The talent has been passed down through the ages, and the name is worthy of Qingshan, ancient and modern.
