Chapter 09: Liu Xiang is married
During the banquet, Liu Bang toasted three glasses of wine, and Xiang Bo drank them one by one, and at this time, the three glasses of wine were down, and the relationship between the two sides eased a lot.
As the so-called three rounds of wine, the enemy can not care, not to mention the generals of the two armies who are about to go to war, after the atmosphere eased, Zhang Liang coughed dryly beside him, this dry cough reminded Liu Bang that it was time to get into the main topic,
Xiang Yu is about to raise troops, this problem is very serious, Liu Bang slowly put down the wine glass, thought for a while, and sighed with a sad face: "I and the general in the first battle of Waihuang, it was already a good friend, this time the soldiers entered the customs, I don't know why, it will be so troublesome, I really don't know, who is slandering in front of the general, provoking the relationship between the two of us, causing the soldiers to meet each other, hateful, lamentable......"
Liu Bang expressed his worries, and Zhang Liang also echoed and said: "After General Liu entered the customs, he often mentioned General Xiang Yu, which is obvious to all, if General Liu has any wrong thoughts, it is all rumors, I can testify, if General Xiang Yu hears anything unfavorable to General Liu, among them, there must be a misunderstanding,"
The two talked about this one after another, Xiang Bo was not easy to avoid, he had to pick up the wine glass, take a sip, but his mind was thinking about the words, at this time they were open and honest with each other, Xiang Bo was hesitating, if he avoided it again, would it seem contrived,
After hesitating again and again, Xiang Bo put down his wine glass and asked in a deep voice: "General Liu sent troops to guard Hangu Pass and block the entry of our coalition army, this is a fact, and it cannot be avoided,"
Xiang Bo's eyes were like torches, staring at Liu Bang, and said: "If it weren't for your army to hold Hangu Pass, Yu'er might not be angry, and the troops would enter the theater and confront your army.
Uncle Xiang hit the key point in one sentence, Liu Bang was stunned, he was thinking about how to answer, on the side, Zhang Liang sighed: "Brother Xiang didn't know, he kept the letter Guguan at the beginning, just to prevent all kinds of bandits from flowing through the pass, and General Liu occupied Xianyang at the beginning, the Qin State had just been destroyed, and the forces of all parties were not well balanced, so for the sake of safety, he would order the closure of the pass, but he didn't want to, it angered General Xiang Yu, this matter, we should apologize in person,"
"If you are really sincere, why don't you go to Chuying and explain this matter to Yu'er," Xiang Bo asked in surprise,
"I'm afraid that Xiang Yu won't be able to tolerate me, so I didn't dare to act," Liu Bang lowered his head and sighed lightly,
There was a brief silence in the tent, Xiang Bo thought for a moment, and said: "If it's just about Hangu Pass, it's good to say, but someone in your army reported that General Liu wanted to occupy Xianyang, proclaimed himself the king of Qin, and was already the prime minister, and dispatched three armies to resist the coalition army, but there is such a thing,"
This sentence completely made Liu Bang angry, who is spreading rumors about himself, and has provoked a war between himself and Xiang Yu.
If this battle starts, he will definitely lose, thinking so, Liu Bang got up suddenly, arched his hand in front of Xiang Bo and said: "There is no such thing, I am willing to guarantee with Xiang Shang's head,"
"Alas......" Xiang Bo sighed lightly and replied: "I believe in the general, what's the use, the key is to let my family Yu'er believe in the general, so that the two armies can resolve the conflict, this matter, difficult......"
Zhang Liang had just visited Xiang Yu and wanted to provoke Uncle Xiang to help, but Uncle Xiang didn't answer the phone, Zhang Liang knew in his heart that Uncle Xiang didn't want to be implicated, this matter was very tricky, but if Uncle Xiang was not involved, it would not be possible to solve the dispute between the two armies at all.
How to make Xiang Bo accept Liu Bang and be willing to run for Liu Bang, Zhang Liang fell into deep thought,
Liu Bang was already furious at this time, he got up and wandered around the dining table, and walked for a while before he asked anxiously: "General Xiang, can you tell me who is slandering me so much behind my back?"
"This ......" Xiang Bo hesitated, Liu Bang's excitement had made him lose his mind, and he said: "I am willing to go to Chu Ying and plead guilty, but even if I die, I will die to understand,"
This time, it was inconvenient for Xiang Bo to hide it anymore, so he had to sigh: "It's the Zuo Sima of your army, Cao is not injured,"
"It's him," Liu Bang gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "He robbed the people's property and connived at his subordinates to rape //** women, I punished him slightly, I didn't expect that he actually secretly communicated with the coalition army and wanted to put me to death, this person, I must not stay,"
After saying this, Liu Bangnai shouted outside the tent: "Someone,"
A relative walked in briskly and said, "Lord, what do you command?"
"Go and arrest Cao Wuxian for me," Liu Bang shouted angrily, on the side, Zhang Liang was interrupted by Liu Bang's actions, and had to get up to stop him: "General Liu can't be so reckless, this is not the time to punish Cao Wuxian, how to resolve the crisis is the most important thing, once the dawn, the Chu army kills, just relying on killing Cao Wuxian, you can't solve the problem,"
Zhang Liang's drinking, so that Liu Bang gradually calmed down, he sat down slowly, waved his hand outside the tent, and retreated with him, at this time, Liu Bang had remembered his promise just now, and personally went to Chuying to take the blame, can Xiang Yu tolerate himself, isn't this self-defeating,
Thinking of this, Liu Bang cast a gaze to Zhang Liang for help, Zhang Liang seemed to feel Liu Bang's fear, but going to Chuying to see Xiang Yu was an opportunity for Liu Bang to have no choice, if the two did not meet, they would inevitably have to meet each other, thinking of this, Zhang Liang looked at Uncle Xiang and sighed: "Brother Xiang has a clever plan to help me,"
Zhang Liang asked for help, just in response to Xiang Zhuang's words, if Zhang Liang seeked, he could tell Zhang Liang about the strategy, this was the opportunity, but Xiang Bo hesitated, he didn't know whether he should say it or not, after saying it, what kind of consequences would be,
But after thinking about it for a long time, Xiang Bo still gritted his teeth and said: "When I came, I was instructed by Xiang Zhuang that he couldn't bear to suffer such a great change in General Liu, and he was willing to offer a plan to save General Liu from his bad luck,"
"Oh, what a plan," Liu Bangru grabbed the life-saving straw, he stared at Uncle Xiang quietly, waiting for Uncle Xiang's words,
"Hu Hai back then, had allocated conscription, hundreds of thousands of prisoners, to build Afang Palace, although the project has been stopped at this time, but General Liu sent troops to the construction site and Xianyang, raising 100,000 young and strong is not a problem, if there are these troops, General Liu can have more than 200,000 troops under his command, at that time, you and the coalition army are equal, can be regarded as evenly matched, it is good to talk,"
"Recruit troops in Afang Palace," Liu Bang hesitated,
Xiang Bo saw that Zhang Liang had no intention of going, and he also brought Xiang Zhuang's words, whether to go or stay, whether to live or die, everything can only be left to fate, Xiang Bo thinks that he has done his best to be benevolent and righteous, and it is almost three days at this time, Xiang Bo hurriedly got up and arched his hand: "The hour is not early, I will not disturb the two of you to rest, so don't pass it,"
Uncle Xiang wanted to leave, Zhang Liang hurriedly got up and grabbed Uncle Xiang, and said with a smile: "Why is Uncle Xiang so anxious, let's have two drinks, it's not too late to leave,"
Pulled by Zhang Liang, Xiang Bo had to sit down again, Zhang Liang saw that Xiang Bo was unwilling to participate too much, so he had to find another place, but Liu Bang sighed on the side: "Xiang Yu is a hero, I can't do it, even if I recruit more than 100,000 young people in Lishan, it is also a plate of scattered sand, and I can't compete with the coalition army at all.
"This ......" Uncle Xiang hesitated slightly, and Zhang Liang suddenly asked beside him: "Has Xiang Youxian's nephew ever been married?"
"Under the peace of my brother Xiang Liang, I made a marriage with the second daughter of Poyang Ling Wu Rui, but I have not made a marriage contract so far, and it is estimated that when the world is stable, I can get married," Xiang Bo sighed lightly,
As long as Xiang You is not hired, Zhang Liang thinks that Liu Bang will have a chance.
Zhang Liang pretended to think about it, groaned for a while, and said: "If Xiang You can marry the daughter of King Qin and become King Qin's quasi-aunt, then the relationship between Liu Xiang and Liu Xiang will be closer in the future, wouldn't they be happy,"
Xiang Bo was completely stunned by Zhang Liang's words, didn't Zhang Liang know, Xiang Yu wouldn't let Liu Bang call Wang Guanzhong at all, Xiang Bo knew Zhang Liang, Zhang Liang couldn't have known, so why did he say this, there was only one reason, Zhang Liang said this sentence on purpose to himself,
Xiang Bo is still pondering, Liu Bang has understood Zhang Liang's intentions, at this time, whether Xiang Yu can be eliminated from entering the army, the key is Xiang Bo, encircling Xiang Bo, is equivalent to stabilizing Xiang Yu, although he did not completely put me, but Liu Bang knew that this was his only way out, thinking of this, Liu Bang also laughed and said: "Yes, I have also heard the ovary mention Xiang You, brave and wise, it is the person I want, why did General Xiang refuse,"
"I ...... It's not good to break the contract with the Wu family, please forgive me," Xiang Bo had no choice but to refuse, but Zhang Liang refused to give up, he laughed loudly and said: "Brother Xiang might as well think about it, even if General Liu can't be crowned King Guanzhong, it will be a prince for a while, but Wu Rui is just a guard general, can he ascend to the throne, besides, Brother Xiang Liang has been dead for many years, whether this family business can be fulfilled is still unknown, why don't you and General Liu forever marry Qin and Jin, and you can also close the relationship between Liu and Xiang's two families,"
"This is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone, Uncle Xiang has to think twice," Zhang Liang forced again,
The big tent suddenly became quiet, Xiang Bo pondered for a while, and finally made up his mind, his right hand suddenly slapped the table, and sighed: "Okay, I promised you about this matter,"
"Great, I'll give my in-laws a cup," Liu Bang raised his glass and laughed.
Zhang Liang also picked up the wine glass next to him, and said with a smile: "The two families will have a happy event on his day, and I want to ask for a cup of happy wine to drink," as soon as Zhang Liang spoke, the three of them all raised their heads and laughed,
A few more drinks each, Zhang Liang moved the topic back again, and sighed: "General Liu intends to go to Chu Ying in person, first, to visit General Xiang Yu, and second, to explain things clearly, I hope that Uncle Xiang must help turn around, please,"
At this time, the relationship between the two families, Xiang Bo no longer refused, he had to nod and said: "I'll rush back immediately, I'll talk to Yu'er about this matter, but you must not break the appointment, I'm waiting for you in Chuying,"
"Definitely, definitely,"
The three of them got up at the same time and walked out of the tent,
,,,,,,
Sending Uncle Xiang away, it was already the fourth watch, a night of tossing, Liu Bang and Zhang Liang were extremely tired, after the two returned to the big tent, they each sat on a soft mat and warmed themselves by the carbon pot.
After a while, Liu Bang sighed: "If we really gather the Lishan conscription, our strength can be increased tenfold, this is really a good idea, maybe, we can really fight against Xiang Yu,"
Liu Bang's childish thoughts made Zhang Liang sneer secretly, but he couldn't say it clearly, so he had to sigh: "Xiang Zhuang's trick is terrifying and vicious, if General Liu really gathers up conscription, I'm afraid Xiang Yu really can't tolerate you,"
Sighing lightly, Zhang Liang said again: "Tomorrow, Chu Ying's party, although it is difficult and dangerous, General Liu cannot avoid it, we must go to meet Xiang Yu for a while,"
