But he said that early the next morning, Pei Gong really brought Zhang Liang, Fan Hao and more than 100 horsemen to Hongmen. I saw that the barrier was like a cloud and a banner covering the sun, and the soldiers were all holding their armor. Pei Gong was taken aback, and secretly thought that this was like a tiger's mouth, and it was unknown whether he would survive. But the matter has come to this point, and it can only be left to fate. While he was meditating, the chariot and horse had arrived at Yingkou. Pei Gong got out of the car and cleaned up his clothes and sent people in to report. Xiang Yu ordered to invite him in, and Pei Gong walked into the camp gate in one step, with Zhang Liang and his entourage behind. Pei Gong saw Xiang Yu, first bowed down and apologized and said: "The minister and the general attacked Qin together, the general fought in Hebei, and the minister fought in Henan. I heard that there are villains who slander and divide the general, so that the general and the ministers are not on good terms. ”

Xiang Yu was originally rough and arrogant, but now seeing Pei Gong's humble behavior and humble words, his anger immediately disappeared. and listened to Pei Gong's words about the villain's slander, and replied directly without waiting for Pei Gong to finish speaking: "This is what Pei Gong Zuo Sima Cao said without injury, otherwise why is this so?" ”

Pei Gongli complained in vain, and Xiang Yu was relieved. He ordered a banquet to stay in the army to drink in the army. After a while, the feast was over, and the crowd sat down to drink. At that time, Fan Zeng sat at the top, Xiang Yu and Xiang Bo sat on the west, Pei Gong sat on the east, and Zhang Liang accompanied him at the bottom.

Xiang Yu has a straightforward temperament, and since the previous suspicions have been resolved, he treats Pei Gong as usual. I also heard Uncle Xiang say that Pei Gong had merit in entering the customs, so he couldn't bear to do harm. And Pei Gong sat on the seat like a needle felt, and he was afraid to sweat a handful, for fear of being poisoned. Zhang Conscience is also worried about Pei Gong. Xiang Boxin and Pei Bus are good, so they are naturally very concerned. Only Fan Zeng was the enemy of Pei Gong in his previous life, and he was relieved to get rid of him. Yesterday, he strongly persuaded Xiang Yu to send troops to attack, not wanting Pei Gong to arrive early this morning. Fan Zeng thought that Pei Gong would come to send him to death, and he would save himself from the effort to attack, and between this feast, if Xiang Yu shouted an order to take him down, it would be as easy as taking something in his pocket.

Who knew that Xiang Yu had no intention of killing Pei Gong today.

Fan Zeng sat on the seat and was very anxious, and it was inconvenient to speak clearly in front of everyone, so he had to gesture to Xiang Yu frequently, and raised the jade block he wore on his body to watch with Xiang Yu, which meant that Xiang Yu made up his mind to kill Pei Gong as soon as possible, and did so three times in a row. Pei Gong was so frightened that he was sweating profusely. Xiang Yu knew what Fan Zeng meant, but he didn't want to.

Fan Zeng saw that the three plans failed, and sighed to himself: "If you don't kill Pei Gong today, he will become a big disaster one day!" "Sleepy and anxious to find someone to kill Pei Gong. was at a loss, but saw a strong man playing a sword behind the tent and said:

I have a sword from Kunlunxi.

Shine on people like faces, cut iron like mud.

The frost on both sides is cold, and the wind inside the box is miserable.

Send it to the princes, when will you see it?

Fan Zeng was overjoyed when he heard this, this person's surname was Xiang Mingzhuang, and he was Xiang Yu's younger brother. Fan Zeng whispered: "My lord seems to be strong on the outside, soft and cowardly on the inside, Pei Gong came to die, but I can't bear to kill him, I have raised Yu Jue three times, I don't see me in charge, this opportunity is lost, and there will be endless troubles." Thou shalt enter and toast; After the ceremony, he invited the sword dance, and took advantage of the situation to take the seat and kill Pei Gong. Otherwise, all my generations will be captured by this person! Xiang Zhuang entered according to his words, and said after the toast was finished: "The general and Pei Gong are drinking, there is no entertainment in the army, please dance the sword to accompany the cup and spoon?" Pei Gong knew that he had bad intentions, and his heart was as anxious as a deer. Xiang Yu didn't know what the plan was, so he promised to agree.

Xiang Zhuang got Xiang Yu's promise, so he pulled out his sword and danced as a feast. Pei Chengcheng was in danger, and suddenly saw Xiang Bo leave his seat and draw his sword in his hand, and turned to the east to dance with Xiang Zhuang. The uncle and nephew each had their own tricks, but they saw two sword lights, like pieces of pear blossoms flying in the wind. Xiang Zhuang's mood was not to dance the sword, every time he wanted to kill Pei Gong, he was helpless to be covered by his uncle, and Pei Gong was very grateful to Xiang Bo in his heart.

Zhang Liang saw that the situation was not good, so he went out of the camp to look for Fan Hao. Fan Hao had been waiting for Pei Gong to come out for a long time, and was fidgeting, and now when he saw Zhang Liang walking out, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How is it?" Zhang Liang replied: "It's very critical!" Now Xiang Zhuang is dancing with a sword, which is intended to be Pei Gong, and he often wants to cause harm! After hearing this, Fan Xu jumped up and said: "In this way, it is urgent!" The minister immediately entered and fought hard! With that, he held the leather shield in his left hand and pressed the sword in his right hand, and stepped forward. Will enter the camp gate, the guards on both sides saw Fan Xu rushing in with an angry face, so they rushed out together to stop it, Fan Xu was afraid that Pei Gong would lose, and crashed into it all the way with a leather shield. The guards on both sides couldn't stop them, and they were both knocked to the ground by him. By the time he got up, Fan Hao had already entered, and Zhang Liang also entered.

Xiang Zhuang couldn't kill Pei Gong, so he had to stop the sword dance, and Xiang Bo also collected the sword and returned to his seat. Fan Zeng was full of hope that Xiang Zhuang would kill Pei Gong at the banquet, and he was protected by Xiang Bo, so he was speechless. Fan Hao opened the curtain with his hands, and saw that Pei was safe and sound, and his heart was safe. He stood next to Pei Gong's seat and faced the west, staring at Xiang Yu with his eyes wide open, his eyes were cracked, and his hair was standing up one by one.

Xiang Yu has always been brave, and when he saw Fan Xu, he didn't feel moved. Then he pressed his hand to his sword and asked, "Who is the visitor?" Zhang Liangdai replied: "This is Pei Gong riding Fan is also!" Xiang Yu casually praised: "What a strong man!" "Command to give wine to the right and left. Looking left and right, he is a big man, how about trying his drink? But he used a large pot and poured a bucket of wine with it. Fan Xu thanked him, stood up and drank the wine. Xiang Yu saw that Fan Hao drank a lot of wine, and ordered him to give pig's trotters left and right. Playing with Fan Hao left and right, but taking a pig's trotter with it. Fan Xu didn't care if he was raw or cooked, he covered the leather shield on the ground as a cutting board, and then put the pig's trotters on top of the leather shield, held it down with his left hand, pulled out his sword with his right hand, and cut it off one by one and ate it raw. Dog slaughter heroes can naturally eat raw meat. In a moment, the pig's trotters were eaten to the fullest, and the people on the left and right were stunned!

Xiang Yu couldn't help but praise: "Strong! Can I drink alcohol again? Fan Xu saw the question and answered: "The minister comes to die and does not avoid it, why should he excuse himself from drinking?" King Qin's heart is like a tiger and wolf, and he is afraid of killing people, and he is rebelling against him with the world! King Huai made a covenant with the generals: if he entered Xianyang first, he would be the king of Guanzhong. Today, Pei Gong broke Qin first, and after entering Xianyang, he did not dare to move at all, closed the palace and returned to the army, waiting for the arrival of the general. Therefore, sending the general to guard the pass, is to guard against thieves and extraordinary accidents, as if this hard work is high, not to get the reward of the marquis, the general listens to the villain's words, and wants to kill the meritorious person, this kind of action is no different from the death of Qin, stealing for the general does not take it. Xiang Yu was speechless, so he ordered Fan Yu to sit down. Fan Hao and Zhang Liang sat down in a row. After sitting for a while, Zhang Liang looked at Pei Gong, Pei Gong Xu got up, pretended to go to the toilet, and went out, so there was no need to talk here. Fan Hui understood, so he went out of the camp with Pei Gong, and Zhang Liang also walked out.

Fan Xu persuaded Pei Gong to flee. Pei Gongdao: "This time, I didn't say goodbye in person, how can I be good?" Fan Xu hurriedly said: "Now people are swordsmen, and I am fish and meat, so why bother!" Bi Lian urged Pei Gong to get up. Pei Gong then instructed Zhang Liang: "It's only twenty miles from this road to our army, I'm afraid that Xiang Yu will send someone to chase after me, you postpone going back, I have already arrived in the army, and then thank Xiang Yu!" Zhang Liang promised.

Pei Gong was afraid of alarming everyone to report to Xiang Yu, so he didn't dare to take the original carriage and horse, and rode a horse alone, Fan Xu, Xiahou Ying, Jin Jiang, and Ji Xin walked on foot.

Although Fan Xu is a general at the Hongmen banquet, his responsibility is to be a bodyguard, a bodyguard to protect Liu Bang's life, as a bodyguard, to maintain a cold and murderous atmosphere, can intimidate the enemy to a certain extent, so Fan Xu must blow his beard and stare at Xiang Yu, on the other hand, as a bodyguard, he should have the spirit of not being afraid of death, but Fan Xu is not even afraid of death, will he be afraid of Xiang Yu?

The Hongmen banquet is not a battlefield, and the contest is not the ability to lead the troops to fight. If you really go to the battlefield, let alone Fan Xu, even if Fan Xu and Liu Bang go together, they may not be able to beat Xiang Yu. But on the occasion of the Hongmen Banquet, it is not about arranging troops, not about charging into battle, and Xiang Yu's advantages cannot be brought into play.

There is also Fan Hao who was born as a butcher, and he is the same as Xiang Yu and Cao Shen when he goes into battle, he likes to "go first", that is, he rushes forward first, and going into battle is a bit similar to fighting alone for Fan Xu, and the impact banquet angers Xiang Yu, it is nothing more than fighting alone, what is so terrible, and before Fan Xu entered the door, he had already overturned a few guards, which belonged to the warm-up, and Xiang Yu was eating and drinking at the dinner table, completely unprepared, and had already lost Fan Hao in momentum.

In short, Fan Xu has put life and death out of the way, plus he has a certain force value, so there is nothing to fear.

But said that after Liu Bang left, Xiang Yu was still sitting at the table, but he felt drunk and hazy, as if he was sleepless, and he took a long break before he said, "Where is Pei Gong?" Why didn't you go back for a long time! Zhang Liang deliberately did not answer. Xiang Yu sent the commander Chen Ping out to find Pei Gong. Even if Chen Ping entered the newspaper, it was said that Pei Gong's carriage and horses were still there, but Pei Gong was missing. Xiang Yunai asked Zhang Liangdao: "How did Pei Gong go?" Zhang Liang replied: "Pei Gong is not strong enough to drink, he has returned to Ba, leaving Zhang Liang here to thank the wine," Xiang Yu said angrily: "Liu Bang did not resign, what else to say!" Fan Zeng heard Xiang Yu angry, and hurriedly said: "Although Liu Bang's words are soft, they are really treacherous. The three plans I offered before, Ming Gongtong did not believe it, and it is really a bully to leave without resigning! It was Zhang Liang's plan to let Pei Gong go back, and the public should not listen to his words of cover-up. Xiang Yu became more and more furious when he heard this, and paid left and right to report Zhang Liang's beheading. Zhang Liang shouted: "Wronged! Don't be angry, the minister is a Korean, and he is a borrower under Pei Gong's account, Pei Gong is not my lord, why should I cover up with him? Who is not afraid of the king in the world? If it is easy to kill Pei Gong, why kill people before the feast on the grounds of setting a feast? If the princes of the world heard it, they thought that the king would not dare to be an enemy of Pei Gong, but he earned Hongmen to kill him, even if the world was not justified, but it made the world laugh. May the king pardon his ministers and return to the king, and take the jade seal of the country and all kinds of treasures and present them to the king, and the lord of the world will be rightly enthroned at that time; If you kill the ministers today, Pei Gong will flee to other countries, and the jade seal will be sacrificed to others or destroyed and will not exist. Xiang Yu heard the words and said: "The words of the ovary are also!" Otherwise, the people of the world will laugh at my cowardice. Besides, I have already decided to return to the world, how can Liu Bang be my enemy? If you listen to Fan Lao's words, it will hurt me! Then he ordered Zhang Liang to return to Bashang: "Quickly offer the treasure of the jade seal, if you resist again, you will be able to smash the millions of male soldiers, and you will not be able to save your life!" Zhang Liang said: "Obey the king's orders." Then he took his leave.

At this time, Pei Gong, Fan Xu and others walked all the way from the bottom of Lishan Mountain, and when they returned to Bashang, they immediately called Cao Wuxian to scold: "Disloyal people betray their masters for glory!" Today, he was poisoned by Xiang Yu several times. Cao Wuxian couldn't deny that he was speechless, and Pei Gong drank and ordered the beheading to be carried out left and right. It's a pity that Cao Wuwu never got a favor, but he lost his life first.

Xiang Yu betrayed Cao Wuxian, it looked very unkind, and later generations thought that Xiang Yu had no scheming or even extremely stupid, but in fact, Xiang Yu despised Cao Wuxian's traitorous behavior. No matter what Cao Wuxian's purpose was, he betrayed his lord. Xiang Yu is a hero who stands up to the sky, and the hero is bold and loyal. He can forgive Zhang Han, who killed his uncle, because each is his master; But he can't forgive Cao Wuxian, who betrayed his master. Regardless of whether what Cao Wuxian said was true or not, Xiang Yu was dismissive. To win, you must win above board, and if you lose, you must lose openly. For Cao Wuxian's whistleblowing behavior, Xiang Yu despised it in his heart. In order to punish the traitor he hated, he betrayed Cao Wuxian to Liu Bang.
