Chapter 05: Brothers Against Brothers
After passing Zheng County, the road began to become rugged and difficult, and the Chu army needed to turn north in order to continue westward, and, the further west, the more mountain roads, and the more Chu army had 200,000 people, the speed of the march was delayed again and again, and after ten days, the Chu army arrived in the area of Weinan,
This is also a county seat, the county seat is not big, it is under the jurisdiction of internal history, if it is according to today, this is the west of Weinan City, adjacent to the Wei River,
But Xiang Yu didn't choose to rest here, he still insisted on marching west,
In the past few days, the scouts have also made many explorations in the Xianyang area, confirming that Liu Bang has returned to the army and built a camp in the overlord, this move has eased Xiang Yu's original angry mood a little.
Fan Zeng tried to persuade Xiang Yu, but the light troops rushed forward, and the surprise attack was overpowered, and Liu Bang could be captured, but Xiang Yu thought that Liu Bang was not afraid, so he ordered to slow down, and in this way, the Chu army marched for several days before arriving at the theater and setting up a large camp in the Hongmen area.
Hongmen is located in Hongmenbao Village, Xinfeng Town, about 5 kilometers east of Lintong District, Shaanxi Province, the cliff plain is washed by the rainwater flowing down from Lishan, the north end of the exit is like a doorway, resembling a chasm, so it is called Hongmen,
After the Chinese army set up camp, Xiang Yu took the generals and rode the horses, a group of soldiers lined up to greet them, Xiang Yule stopped the horses, looked at the horse for a while, and hurried into the camp.
At night, the Chu army set up a banquet in the tent, Xiang Yugao sat on it, next to it, it was Fan Zeng, Xiang Zhuang and other confidants, below, the generals of the Chu army and the generals of the coalition army sat down in turn, at this time, a team of soldiers accompanied by military music, dancing in the tent,
A group of soldiers walked in slowly with sumptuous dishes, and placed a plate on each person's table.
Even soldiers from all over the world can enjoy food in their own camps, which is the first time that Xiang Yu has rewarded the three armies after entering Guanzhong.
Xianyang is close at hand, as long as you pass through Lishan, you can reach Xianyang, and because of this, Xiang Yu is no longer in a hurry to enter Xianyang, he wants to rest here for a few days, and then the army enters the hegemony, first take Liu Bang, and then control Xianyang,
But Fan Zeng has always been worried about Liu Bang, in his heart, Liu Bang is not an idle person, unlike these coalition generals, Liu Bang is very likely to become Xiang Yu's biggest enemy, therefore, Fan Zeng persuaded Xiang Yu again and again to kill Liu Bang as soon as possible, but Xiang Yu always ignored it,
Today, Fan Zeng drank three glasses of wine, which aroused his sorrow even more, at this time Fan Zeng had raised his glass and sighed: "The general has entered the Hangu Pass, and the Weizhen Pass is gratifying, but Liu Bang does not remove it, the general thinks that he can stay in the place of Guanzhong safely?"
Xiang Yu was in a good mood, but was interrupted by Fan Zeng's words, and he said with a little displeasure: "What does this mean by Ya Father?"
"I heard that when Liu Bang was in Shandong, he was greedy for money and lustful, and now the soldiers are in the customs, not into the women's sex, not to take finances, such a person, with great ambitions, such a person, must not be guarded against, and at this time, Liu Bang is not prepared, the general can cover up and kill the tyrant, completely defeat Liu Bang, behead his head, and return to King Huai, in this way, the general can sit firmly in Guanzhong, self-proclaimed King Qin, otherwise, as soon as the military plane passes, Liu Bang please have the will of the king, and call the king by order, what excuse does the general have to kill Liu Bang,"
Fan Zeng's words once again aroused Xiang Yu's anger, recalling that Liu Bang sent troops to garrison Hangu Pass, trying to prevent himself from monopolizing Guanzhong, such a person has a bad heart, and he really can't stay for a long time.
Besides, once Liu Bang really occupies Xianyang, ascends the throne, and rides on his head, won't the world laugh at his incompetence?
Thinking of this, Xiang Yu clenched his fist with his right hand, slammed the table, and made a muffled sound, this sudden sound made the originally dancing sergeant stop moving, and everyone looked over suspiciously.
After a long while, Xiang Yu woke up from his anger, he looked at everyone's stunned eyes, and couldn't help but laugh dryly: "Everyone continue to drink,"
At this time, Xiang Yu looked at the guards on the side again, gave him a look, the guards understood, and immediately walked out, and soon, the military music played again, and the soldiers in the big tent had to continue dancing.
After a while, the atmosphere in the tent eased somewhat, and at this time, Fan Zeng said urgently: "Has the general made a decision?"
"Well, today's big sacrifice for the three armies, the soldiers are happy, there is no need to make a big move, it is not too late to send troops to dominate tomorrow,"
Xiang Yu acquiesced this time, Fan Zeng was angry, his worries these days were not in vain, at this time his heart was much more relaxed, Fan Zeng's eyes fell on Xiang Zhuang, who had always been silent, and said with a smile: "What's wrong with General Xiang Zhuang, why is he depressed,"
Xiang Zhuang was always holding the wine glass, stunned in his seat, and was interrupted by Fan Zeng to ponder at this time, he looked up and couldn't help laughing: "What the old gentleman just said is very reasonable, if Liu Bang is not removed, it will be a big disaster,"
Xiang Yu saw that Xiang Zhuang also said the same, and couldn't help laughing and said: "You are too worried, it's just ants, how much wind and waves can be set off,"
After speaking, Xiang Yu raised his head and laughed, and many generals in the tent also laughed, at this time, Xiang Zhuang looked at the tent again for a while, making sure that he had not found Han Xin, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Brother Yu, last time I asked Han Xin to come to help, at this time Guanzhong has been decided, should you give him back to me?"
Hearing Xiang Zhuang ask about Han Xin, Xiang Yu said unhappily: "You said Han Xin, I really don't dare to use it, you are willing to ask for it, take it back,"
Such a talent, Xiang Yu said that it was worthless, Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but secretly shook his head, at this time Xiang Yu had already looked at Long He, and asked, "What about Han Xin,"
"I have long resigned from the military and gone into the wilderness," Long Ji sighed,
Hearing that Han Xin had gone, Xiang Zhuang could no longer contain the anger in his heart, he slammed the table, got up and said, "How can the general be so contemptuous of the beloved general that my uncle assigned to me back then?"
Stopped, Xiang Zhuang looked around at the generals in the tent again, and then walked out of the tent angrily.
Ding Gu and the others, who were originally in the middle of the banquet, also hurriedly followed Xiang Zhuang and left the banquet.
For a while, the originally jubilant tent immediately quieted down, and Xiang Bo, who had just arrived from Sanchuan County, couldn't help but sigh when he saw his brother turn against him, he wanted to discuss with the two of them, and was going to build a Chu temple for his brother Xiang Liang, but now he had to put it down for the time being.
Everyone looked at Xiang Yu quietly, not knowing if the next moment would be the storm.
Inside the big tent, there was an aura of slaughter, Fan Zeng wanted to open his mouth to persuade, but in the end, he still chose to be silent,
Xiang Yu was even more angry, this was the first time Xiang Zhuang had publicly turned his face with himself, just for a Han Xin,
If a Han Xin is worthy of Xiang Zhuang's anger, then Xiang Yu doesn't know that next time, Xiang Zhuang will contradict himself for something, and even defect to the battle.
Xiang Yu picked up the wine glass, the wine glass was already empty, and he roared: "Add me wine,"
A guard hurriedly picked up the wine jug and added a glass of wine to Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp, and slammed the wine glass on the ground, only then he was angry and walked out of the handsome account.
In the big tent, everyone sighed helplessly, a good wine banquet, but in the end it turned out like this,
After a while, the people dispersed.
,,,,,,
Leaving the big tent of the Chinese army, Xiang Zhuang led the war horse, and Ding Gu, Lotte and others left in a hurry, passed through several camps, came to a winding path, and walked east from the path, about five miles away, Xiang Zhuang returned to his camp,
When the sergeants of the camp saw that Xiang Zhuang had returned, they all saluted Xiang Zhuang, and Xiang Zhuang rode his horse directly to his big tent, handed over the war horse to a personal guard, and hurriedly walked in.
At this time, it is close to winter, the weather changes suddenly, and the big tent needs to light the carbon pot for heating, Xiang Zhuang's tent has prepared a carbon pot in the morning, and the warmth hits at this time, which makes the tension in people's hearts dissipate a lot.
Xiang Zhuang gradually calmed down at this time, Xiang Yu's dissatisfaction with Han Xin, he already knew, but why did he send Han Xin north, the root cause was his own mistake, which led to Han Xin's departure.
So, where will he go, defect to Liu Bang,
Although in history, after Han Xin defected to Liu Bang, he only ascended the altar in Shuzhong to worship the general, but at this time Han Xin was not stupid, Liu Bang had not really stabilized, he would not easily surrender, then, he was very likely to live in seclusion in Xianyang, thinking of this, Xiang Zhuang looked at Lotte and ordered: "Send someone to Xianyang to contact Huayu, so that he must find Han Xin for me in Xianyang,"
Lotte sang the promise to leave, Xiang Zhuang also felt a lot more relaxed, think about this, Xiang Zhuang is no longer entangled in Han Xin's departure, to what direction the pace of history will develop, this is what Xiang Zhuang is most concerned about,
At this time, Xiang Zhuang's eyes were attracted by a black sword hanging in the tent, this sword was made by Wu Fang himself, the whole body was jet black, looking at this sword, as if seeing himself, Xiang Zhuang got up and walked over, picked up the sword, and stroked it quietly,
Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the tent, Kong Ji hurriedly walked into the big tent, originally Xiang Yu was a big sacrifice today, Kong Ji should also go to the banquet, but Xiang Zhuang's army had just set up a big camp, and the affairs were complicated, Kong Ji Nai stayed in the camp to deal with affairs, at this time, as soon as he heard that Xiang Zhuang and Xiang Yu openly turned their faces, he was extremely worried, so he hurried over, just walked into the big tent, Kong Ji asked impatiently: "The general has turned his face with the general for Han Xin?"
At this time, Xiang Zhuang was interrupted by Kong Ji to meditate, he took the sword, walked back to the table and sat down, Kong Ji had come to the front at this time, Xiang Zhuang pointed to the soft seat on the side, signaled him to sit down, and after Kong Ji sat down, Xiang Zhuang sighed lightly, and said helplessly: "I am indeed a little excited today, think about it at this time, it is indeed not worth it,"
Kong Ji also sighed lightly and asked, "Turning against the general, how will the general gain a foothold in the future?"
"I'm going to go down to the land of Jiangdong, which has been used as a foundation to seek long-term development," Xiang Zhuang looked at the sword in his hand with deep eyes, and said slowly,
"If the general doesn't allow it, what can I do," Kong Ji said again,
"I have my own way," Xiang Zhuang said with great certainty, he raised his head to stare at Kong Ji, and said, "I will let him agree,"
Inside the big tent, it suddenly became quiet, and both of them fell into silence.
The first battle of Dingtao, the death of his uncle, he could not recover, Liu Bang entered the customs, but he could not catch up with him, Xiang Yu slaughtered 200,000 Qin troops, although he had rushed back, but there were still nearly 50,000 Qin troops who died in the chaotic arrows, Hongmen Banquet, Xiang Yu's contempt for Liu Bang, led to his later Wujiang self-killing, if everything is really like this, then, Hongmen Banquet, should he really stab Liu Bang to death with a sword,
Instead of using force, it is better to outwit it, Xiang Zhuang knows that if Liu Bang is not removed, it will be a big disaster.
Jiangdong, the place where Sun Jian made his fortune, and Wei Shu across the Yangtze River to divide the world, chasing the Central Plains, this treasure land, he is bound to win,
