After welcoming Zhang Liang into Suiyang City, Liu Ji led Zhang Liang straight to the county guard's office, because Liu Ji had already set up a banquet in the palace and was ready to entertain Zhang Liang.

According to common sense, when Zhang Liang returns to Xianyang, he will inevitably report what he saw and heard in Dangjun to Fusu, as the basis for Fusu to judge Liu Ji's ability to govern.

Since he met Zhang Liang himself, Liu Ji knew that the rumors about Zhang Liang were one-sided and not true, so he was particularly concerned about Zhang Liang's evaluation of himself, so he had to use the banquet to investigate.

After three rounds of drinking, Liu Ji began to guide the topic to his own governance of Dangjun: "Lord Yushi, I heard that Xianyang is located in the prosperous and rich land of Neishi County, and I often yearn for it, and I often use the internal history as a copy, intending to govern this Dangjun County as a rich place like Neishi County, but I am suffering from poor governance. ”

Although Daqin's rice wine can't make people intoxicated, it is more than enough to be slightly drunk, and Zhang Liang is already in a slightly drunk state at this time.

Although he escaped from the assassination of those thieves, the coachman was seriously injured because of his self-trust, and although he was rescued, he could not completely make up for the guilt in Zhang Liang's heart, so Zhang Liang's emotions have been dominated by self-blame and guilt these days.

Under the influence of melancholy, Zhang Liang couldn't help but drink a few more rice wine at the banquet, and naturally he was inevitably a little drunk, and when he heard what Liu Ji said, Zhang Liang's words increased, and he began to confide in Liu Ji with the strength of the wine.

"Liu Ji, if you want to say that the people of this world, except for the son, you are a character, you have also done rebellion, but you wisely chose to surrender to Daqin, and finally won the title of Dangjun Taishou, in my opinion, you are the most proficient person in the world to judge the situation, you said that the king of Nanyue, Zhao Tuo, Jiangdong Xiang, and the son Hu Hai, Tou Manshan Yu, they died, and only you live the most comfortable, I have been here for a while, and I have some understanding of this Dangjun, and the governance is really good, It can be seen that you are a man of great talent. ”

After Zhang Liang finished speaking, he picked up a cup of turbid wine and drank it all, and the drunkenness in his eyes was a little more.

Hearing that Zhang Liang praised himself and his achievements in governing Dangjun, Liu Bang was not very happy in his heart, and he also felt a little more grateful to Zhang Liang in front of him, and he couldn't help but get closer and bolder.

"Your Excellency, there has always been a question about your humble position, what kind of character do you think Childe is?"

It stands to reason that Liu Ji categorically can't ask this kind of question, but at this time, Zhang Liang was already a little drunk, so Liu Ji had the courage to throw this question to Zhang Liang, even if Zhang Liang blamed him, he could also use Zhang Liang's drunken excuse to deny it all away.

Liu Ji is very curious about Fusu and his people, but he has been suffering from not having the opportunity to see, and now that Zhang Liang is here, and he has drunk wine, it is naturally the best time to find out about Fusu from Zhang Liang's mouth, Liu Ji naturally will not let it go, so he has the courage to ask.

"Alas, you, Zhao Tuo, and the Jiangdong Xiang family, all of them are characters who have not been out of a hundred years, but it is a pity that you live in the same life with Gongzi, this is not only your blessing, but also your disaster, regardless of mind and strategy, a character like Gongzi is rare in the world, the most terrifying thing is that he is still younger than you, what do you do to fight with Gongzi? I also thought about defecting to you at first, but after walking to Xianyang, I gave up this thought, because I saw from Childe that you have no chance of winning......"

Zhang Liang said and leaned on the desk, drowsy. The light rice wine is not intoxicating, but it can get drunk with a melancholy heart.

These words are Zhang Liang's heartfelt words, but he has been suffering from no one to tell him, and now that he met Liu Ji, Zhang Liang used the strength of wine to say his thoughts to Liu Ji, unintentionally or intentionally.

Seeing Zhang Liang lying on the table, Liu Ji shook his head helplessly.

"Guard, help Lord Shi go back and rest." Liu Ji summoned the two guards in and instructed them to help Zhang Liang out of the banquet hall.

After Zhang Liang left, Lu Juan spoke: "Big brother, it seems that your choice is right, and it is indeed a wise move to surrender to Fusu." ”

"Lu Xuan, do you know who this mentor is?"

"I don't know," Lu Wan shook his head blankly.

"The old man", but Lu Juan was not shocked by the name "The Old Man".

"Who is the old man on the wall?"

"You are a horseman who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, the old man on the wall is a Guiguzi person, and he has the ability to go through the world." Liu Ji glanced at Lu Juan speechlessly, and explained helplessly.

Since learning the news that Zhang Liang was coming, Liu Ji asked some soldiers who knew Zhang Liang's background, and really got a lot of useful information, such as Zhang Liang's mentor from the "old man on the wall", and led dozens of people to sneak into Qingzhang Mountain in South Vietnam to start an incident.

"Big brother, this Zhang Liang has such a background, why was he captured by that Zhao Tuo, I'm afraid he doesn't have any ability, just a vain name, right?"

"In vain, do you know how many people they brought with them when they infiltrated Qingzhang Mountain? There are only dozens of people, and it is these dozens of people who have set up a team in Qingzhang Mountain and made a fuss under Zhao Tuo's nose, is this in vain? Please come back to Ying Yao, you think this is an inconspicuous errand, but in fact, it is not, that Ying Yao has long said to the people of the world that he will not go out of the mountain to be an official, this matter is known to everyone in the world, this Zhang Liang dares to take such an errand, is it in vain? ”

Liu Ji paused as he spoke, glanced at Lu Xuan, and then continued: "He said that he thought about coming to me at the beginning, and then changed his mind after going to Xianyang, this is by no means his momentary speech, it can be seen that Fusu and his people are more terrible than we know, you look at Touman Danyu, Zhao Tuo, which strength is not stronger than us, what happened in the end, wasn't he forced to death by Fusu?" ”。

After listening to what Liu Ji said, Lu Juan nodded thoughtfully, obviously convinced of what Liu Ji said.

"By the way, there is one more thing, you must not contact your former brothers again." Liu Ji instructed Lu Xuan.

"Big brother, isn't it?"

"When your head falls off, you'll know if it's going to be enough."

……

The next day, Zhang Liang bid farewell to Liu Ji and left Suiyang City under the escort of the original team of light horses, preparing to travel to other places.

On the occasion of parting, Zhang Liang made a suggestion to Liu Ji:

"Liu Junshou, now you are the head of this county, Liu Ji's name is a little casual, I look at the demeanor of the county guard, it is by no means an ordinary person, and it will be reused by the son in the future. The state, the meaning of governing the country and the country, what does the county guard think? ”

"Lord Envoy, I don't dare to accept this suggestion in Xia, although the word Bang is good, but I don't dare to use it easily in Xia, for fear that I will be suspicious of my son, but it will harm my life." Liu Ji refused in fear.

"Liu Junshou doesn't have to worry, even if the son knows about this matter, it will be fine, the son is narrow-minded, and it is by no means comparable to ordinary people like us."

"That being the case, then Liu Ji will be disrespectful, so let's change his name to Liu Bang as the envoy said."

Seeing that Liu Ji accepted his suggestion, Zhang Liang looked at Liu Ji and smiled, then said goodbye to Liu Ji, boarded the car that had been prepared for a long time, and left Suiyang City.

Watching Zhang Liang's car leave, Lu Juan was puzzled.

"Big brother, rashly give you a name, I think it's this Zhang Liang with bad intentions, intending to murder the eldest brother, the name Liu Bang, if Fusu learns, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be suspicious."

"Lu Juan, you are wrong, Zhang Liang seems to be uninhibited, but in fact he is extremely shrewd, and changing my name is actually recommending me to Fusu, which not only shows Fusu the affirmation of my achievements in governing Dangjun, but also implies that I have the talent to govern the country. As for doubting that I am disobedient, it is absolutely impossible, but now I have a brother with whom I used to cause trouble, besides you? Even if you have two hearts, where can you go two? ”

……

Ten days later, Zhang Liang ended his trip to Dangjun and returned to Gaoyang County. By this time, the coachman's wounds had completely healed, but he was still a little weak.

After staying in Gaoyang County for three days, Zhang Liang took the coachman to embark on the journey again and went to Huaiyang Mountain in Chen County.
