After Liu Bang conquered Xianyang, both armies of the state of Chu completed their respective missions.

The most powerful enemy fell.

The princes wiped the blood from the tip of their knives and looked around, only to realize that they were not the only ones in this world. The brothers in the past began to look at each other with complicated eyes: Brother, can we still be brothers?

Xiang Yu took Zhang Han and killed Qin's pawn, and there was no war in Hebei.

Xiang Yu's subordinates looked at Xianyang, due to the blockage of ancient information, at this time, he did not know that Guanzhong had been occupied by Pei Gong.

In November 207 BC, Xiang Yu led the princes' armies all the way to Hangu Pass (now Lingbao, Henan), and found that there were still people guarding Hangu Pass, and it was also the banner of the Chu army, and there was a big Liu character on the banner, which was very eye-catching.

Only then did Xiang Yu know that it turned out that Pei Gong had already settled in the middle of the Guan.

Good brother, thank you for helping me lay down the level. Xiang Yu felt a burst of excitement in his heart.

I'm Xiang Yu, hurry up and switch it for me and take me to see Pei Gong. Xiang Yu shouted at the guards.

I thought that when the guards heard their names, they would be so frightened that they would roll down and open the door.

I didn't expect that the guard usually didn't care about national affairs, and replied, no matter what you are like rain (Xiang Yu) like dew and like wind, I only know that Pei Gong has an order, and no one is allowed to enter the customs without permission.

When Xiang Yu heard this, he almost fainted from his horse.

Grandma's Liu Bang can't do the opposite.

He was a short-tempered man, and without saying a word, he ordered Yingbu and General Pu to attack Hangu Pass.

As we all know, Hangu Pass is "a husband when the pass, ten thousand people do not open", according to the plateau in the west, the east is bordered by the absolute stream, the south is connected to the Qinling Mountains, the north is connected to the Yellow River, and the city pass is built in the valley, from the high altitude it looks like the letter word is as deep and dangerous.

As one of the four major passes of the Qin State, the Qin State often defeated the armies of the vassal states here.

The reason why Xiang Yu is fierce is that there is no place where he can't fight, and there is no place where he doesn't dare to fight.

Yingbu and General Pu led the army to rush up the ladder to the pass, Xiang Yu supervised the battle in the back, the guards kept shooting arrows, moving stones to smash, and the corpses of the Chu army who climbed the ladder were piled up into a small hillside, but they were afraid of Xiang Yu's prestige, they did not dare to retreat, and rushed up desperately, there were not many soldiers guarding the pass, about more than 1,000 people, where could they withstand Xiang Yu's army rushing up so lifelessly, after a day, Yingbu finally took the lead in rushing to the city pass, and killed on the pass.

The Hangu Pass, which is known as unbreakable, was thus breached.

It is a rare thing not to break, it is not easy for the Han army to be on the top of Hangu Pass for a day, and Liu Bang's military strength is far inferior to Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu entered Xianyang, led 400,000 troops stationed in Xinfeng Hongmen (now northeast of Linjian, Shaanxi), at this time, Liu Bang's Zuo Sima Cao Wuxian saw Xiang Yu menacing, and was afraid, in order to save his own life, he secretly sent someone to tell Xiang Yu, "Liu Bang wants to be the king in Guanzhong, use the prince of Qin as the prime minister, and take all the treasures in the palace of Qin as his own." ”

Xiang Yu was even more furious when he heard it, damn, his mother was really the opposite.

Fan Zeng also came over to add to the fire, and said: "Before Liu Bang entered the customs, he was greedy for money and lustful, but now that he has entered the customs, he is not greedy for money, nor is he lustful, it is like two people, I think he has great ambitions, and he can't be underestimated." ”

Just rely on him, dare to fight with me for the world. Xiang Yu was extremely disdainful in his heart. I'm going to kill him like pinching an ant to death. It's not early now, and it's not too late to kill him when it dawns tomorrow.

Fan Zeng also agreed.

One night, it seems that there is not much time, break it down, there are twelve hours, six hours, you can do a lot of things, if you rob Pei Gong's camp that night, it is really hard to say what will happen later.

Xiang Yu's words fell word by word in a person's heart, this person is Xiang Yu's uncle Xiang Bo, Xiang Bo heard these words, and thought: Oops, the life-saving benefactor Zhang Liang is still in Liu Bangjun, Liu Laosan has nothing to do with me whether he is dead or alive, but Zhang Liang I can't see death without help. If it weren't for him, I would have been...

Without further ado, Xiang Bo took advantage of the night and galloped to Liu Bang's military camp to see Zhang Liang. As soon as Zhang Liang heard that it was Uncle Xiang's night visit, there must be something urgent, so he hurriedly summoned him in. When Xiang Bo saw Zhang Liang, he told him everything about it, and persuaded him to quickly pack up his things and go with him, otherwise his life would be difficult to protect. Xiang Bo has seen Xiang Yu's level of charging and slashing people countless times.

Zhang Liangliang was very grateful, but he said that he couldn't run, left Pei Gong, left 100,000 soldiers, what is it if he ran away, you Xiang Bo was in trouble back then, I want to save it, and now Pei Gong is in trouble, I also want to save it. Zhang Liang told him to wait a while and go to tell Pei Gong himself.

Zhang Liang saw Liu Bang and explained the situation, and Liu Bang was shocked.

Who gave the lord a plot to keep the letter to the valley pass? Zhang Liang asked.

He suggested that a certain army should be sent to guard the pass and not let the princes in.

Lord, do you think our army can withstand Xiang Yu's attack? Zhang Liang asked again.

That's impossible, how about now? Liu Bang was anxious.

There is only one way, explain to Xiang Bo that you did not betray Xiang Yu's heart, and let him go to Xiang Yu to accommodate him.

How could Mr. have a relationship with Uncle Xiang? Liu Bang's expression was a little abnormal.

Saved his life when he was young. Now the matter is urgent, and he came to inform me and wanted to save my life. Zhang Liang is very calm.

Oh, who is older sir with him?

Xiang Bo is older.

Well, sir, go and invite him in, and I will see him as a brother.

Zhang Liang came out of the handsome tent and invited Xiang Bo to meet Pei Gong, but Xiang Bo refused at first, but Zhang Liang was reluctant to invite, and it was difficult to refuse. As soon as Uncle Xiang came in, Liu Bang was very happy, as enthusiastic as his mother-in-law came.

That's not, it's more expensive than the mother-in-law, he is the savior of our Liu Laosan. Liu Bang thought to himself.

Brother Xiang, hehe, pestering Gong, haha, I heard that you came to our army, our army is simply brilliant. You see that there is nothing to entertain in the army, there is only light wine and side dishes here, and please don't dislike Brother Xiang.

Xiang Bo glanced at a few cases, chicken, duck, fish and meat, all available, and he was very happy in his heart. Such a good wine and food, not bad, not to eat in vain.

Uncle Xiang, will you eat it for nothing?

From ancient times to the present, many things in the Chinese have been discussed at the banquet table.

During the banquet, Liu Bang used his housekeeping skills, he didn't shoot less sycophants, and he didn't fall behind in business, constantly explaining that he had no objections. After a few glasses of wine, everyone was in high spirits, and they also congratulated Xiang Bo on his birthday, and at the same time, at Zhang Liang's suggestion, Liu Bang and Xiang Bo were about to be in-laws. In ancient times, parents had the absolute right to decide on the marriage of their children, that is, the so-called parents' orders, matchmakers' words, and it was not easy for children to get married. Ancient people had the difficulties of ancient people, and at that time, it was extremely common to mispoint the mandarin duck spectrum, such as the tragedy of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, which was caused by this system.

Liu Bang and Xiang Bo made a verbal marriage contract with only one purpose, to tie Xiang Bo to the same boat. In any case, Uncle Xiang still has to say a few words for this future in-law.

Of course, after Liu Bang ascended the throne, this marriage was unexplained, and Xiang Bo never mentioned it.

Xiang Bo was full of wine and food, and when he left, he told him to go to Xiang Yu early the next day to explain. Liu Bang agreed.

As the saying goes, eating people is soft-mouthed, taking people short-handed, Pei Gong became Xiang Bo's in-laws, naturally he wanted to help Liu Bang, after returning to the camp, he immediately met Xiang Yu, and helping Pei Gong in front of Xiang Yu was a good word, Xiang Yu's opinion began to waver. Xiang Yu kills people very casually, but he is very cautious when he kills his own people.

Xiang Yu remembered the days when he and Pei Gong charged together.

I still remember the battle of Dong'a, Pei Gong was with me, and I was about brothers with him at that time. Pei Gong, I believe that you will never betray me, in that case, then we are still brothers.

Under Xiang Bo's persuasion, Xiang Yu had already dispelled the idea of attacking Liu Bang.

The next day, Xiang Yu had a big meal in the army, all the soldiers had a full meal, polished their swords, these days have not fought any big battles, some people have not seen blood for a long time, the knife can fade out of the bird, now I heard that there is a big battle, it is extremely exciting (fighting will also be addictive), just waiting for the general to give the order to charge the whole army.

Xiang Yu is a fierce man, he doesn't have so many fancy intestines in battle, his tactics are very simple, just rush to the death and cut to the death.

Although it is simple, it is extremely effective, and no one can stop it. Of course, in addition to that person, that person was still working as a petty official at this time. Xiang Yu pointed to where he hit.

After breakfast, I didn't see Xiang Yu ordering, but saw Liu Bang coming over in a carriage with a bunch of people.

Xiang Yu summoned him in, and the soldiers saw a bunch of uninvited guests, some of whom knew Liu Bang, deliberately shook their arms and shook their necks to show Liu Bang, and then made the bones click.

Pei Gong's face was as pale as earth, and he heard it with a careful liver fluttering, well, this formation is too scary. He began to doubt last night's decision.

Zhang Liang looked calm, as if he had entered his own camp, and he helped Liu Bang forward.

When he arrived at Xiang Yu's Chinese army camp, Liu Bang entered the camp tent first, followed by Zhang Liang, leaving Fan Hao to wait outside the camp tent. As soon as I entered the camp tent, I saw that Xiang Yu had Xiang Bo on the left, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and Fan Zeng on the right, fierce and vicious. Xiang Yu only frowned slightly.

Liu Bang looked humble, bowed to Xiang Yu, and said: "I know that the general has entered the customs, and he has lost his welcome, and he hopes to atone for his sins." ”

"Do you know what sin you have committed?"

Pei Gong was prepared, so he was not particularly panicked, he recited what Zhang Liang taught him yesterday, and the words were like this: The minister and the general attacked the Qin Dynasty together, the general fought in Hebei, and the minister fought in Henan, but he didn't want the minister to enter the customs first. It's all about the general's prestige. After entering Xianyang, he saw that Qin Law was harsh, so he made three chapters of the law with the people, and nothing else changed, just waiting for the general to come. But if the general doesn't tell the minister that you are coming, how will the minister know. The army was also sent to guard the pass, also to guard against thieves. Today, I came to show my heart to the general, and asked the general not to listen to the villain's slander. It's a distraction between us.

These words are so clever that they are almost watertight.

When Xiang Yu heard that there was no difference between what Xiang Bo said, he suddenly blamed himself a little, thinking that he had almost fallen for the villain, so he quickly got up, helped Pei Gong up, and took Pei Gong's hand to sit down. Xiang Yu felt guilty, and even told the person who told him, "This is what your Zuo Sima Cao said without injury, it has nothing to do with me." ”

Xiang Yu is really a gentleman and frank, and he is frank at any time.

When Liu Bang heard this, he thought to himself that you are Cao Wuxian, it turns out that you are all playing ghosts, and I will not remove your skin when I go back.

The atmosphere in the camp tent suddenly became harmonious, everyone sat down and began to drink and talk, Liu Bang is an old drunkard, he used to be drunk in Pei County, but now he is like sitting on pins and needles, walking on thin ice, not daring to let go of his belly to drink, if he drinks too much, he will not know how to die.

The more Fan Zeng looked at Liu Bang, the more unpleasant he became, and during the banquet, he gave Xiang Yu a few looks, but Xiang Yu ignored it at all. He has already decided not to kill Liu Bang, the things he decided will not be changed easily, in his eyes, Liu Bang is still a brother in life and death.

Good brother, morality.

Fan Zeng was anxious, hurriedly went out to summon Xiang Zhuang, and said: "The king can't bear to kill Liu Bang, now is a golden opportunity, if you don't kill him, there will be endless troubles, you assassinate him in the name of dancing the sword." ”

Fan Laomo, since he knows that Xiang Yu has no future, why didn't he switch to Liu Bang, since he wanted to kill Liu Bang, why did he tear his face unclearly, and why did he do sword dancing? directly led a group of people to go in and arrest Liu Bang and Zhang Liang, and come to cut first and then play, if it is not done, the province will be frightened day and night.

After Xiang Zhuang entered, he excused himself to have no entertainment in the army, and got up to dance the sword, Xiang Bo knew that they were not at ease, and thought that he couldn't help his relatives, so he also said: What does it mean to dance a sword by one person, and it is beautiful to dance with two people.

Xiang Bo also danced along.

Xiang Zhuang tried to get close to Liu Bang and assassinate him several times, but Xiang Bo blocked him several times. On the surface of the Chinese military camp tent, there is a happy scene, there is wine, silk and bamboo, and dance, but in fact, there is an infinite killing intention.

This is the well-known idiom Xiang Zhuang sword dance, which is the origin of Pei Gong.

Zhang Liang, who was sitting on the side, was a person who understood, if this continued, Pei Gong would be in danger sooner or later, so he excused himself to go out of the camp tent, summoned Fan Xu, and said: "The matter inside is urgent, we have to think of something." Fan Hao said, "I'll go in and protect the lord." ”

Without saying a word, Fan Yu knocked the guards guarding the camp away and broke straight in, his face was full of anger, and his hair stood on end (Super Saiyan), Xiang Yu looked at such a big strong man, and felt strange in his heart, and asked, "Who are you?" Zhang Liang immediately replied, "This is Pei Gong's left attendant Fan Xu." ”

"Sure enough, it's a strong man. Strong man, can you drink alcohol? ”

Fan Xu was unceremoniously, grabbed the big bowl and drank it all, and Xiang Yu said again: "Give him raw pork." ”

Fan Xu also cut and ate directly with a knife. "Can you still drink?" Xiang Yu asked again.

"I'm not afraid of death, I'm afraid of drinking. At the beginning, King Huai agreed with everyone that the first person to enter the customs can be called the king, and now Pei Gong entered Xianyang first, did not call the king, lived in the tyrant, slept in the open air, and waited for the general, general, you listened to the villain's words and wanted to kill Pei Gong, what is the difference between this and the tyrannical Qin? ”

Xiang Yu was speechless when he said one sentence. Zhang Liang gave Liu Bang a look, Liu Bang got up and said that he wanted to go to the toilet, and then shouted and scolded Fan Xu, drinking him to go out with him, don't disturb everyone's interest, and then Zhang Liang also went out, Zhang Liang persuaded Pei Gong to hurry back to the barracks, and leave it to himself here.

Liu Bang was going to go in again and resign, but Fan Hao said: Others are swordsmen, and I am fish and meat, what else can I do!

Pei Gong didn't stay any longer, Zhang Liang asked Liu Bang to take out a few treasures to give to Xiang Yu, Pei Gong gave Zhang Liang a pair of white jade, a pair of jade buckets, and Fan Xu, Xiahou Ying, Jin Jiang, Ji Xin and others quickly rushed back to the barracks.

Zhang Liang estimated that Liu Bang had run away, so he returned to the camp tent, saying that Liu Bang was drunk, and went back to the barracks first, leaving Bai Yu and Yu Dou to give to the general and his father.

Xiang Yu himself was a little drunk, and he didn't take it to heart, and Xiang Bo was relieved. Only Fan Zeng was very angry, threw Bai Yu to the ground, and said: "The one who takes the general's world, Bi Pei Gongye." ”

The Hongmen Banquet is over, and this history is very familiar to our people, which is also thanks to the high school textbooks. It is from this time that we often think about it when we go to the banquet, will this be the Hongmen Banquet?

Chinese civilization is beginning to become complicated, and eating a meal can make people nerve-wracking.
