Chapter 188: Helping and Calculating

?

After a long conversation with Liu Bang and Zhang Liang, he was convinced that Liu Bang had no ambition to dominate, so he made an appointment with Liu Bang and asked him to go to Hong'men in person early the next morning to apologize.

In Hong's 'Gate', after Xiang Ye arranged for everyone to make arrangements, 'Meng' Su and Xiang Qing also found him.

"General, the two of us are also going to participate in the battle to attack the hegemon!" As soon as they entered Xiang Ye's big tent, 'Meng' Su and Xiang Qing looked at the people sitting inside, and said to Xiang Ye when they opened the 'door'.

"No way!" Xiang Ye looked up at them and said to them, "You guys stay in the barracks tomorrow, don't come out even if you do a great favor." If you don't attack the overlord tomorrow, you still need to wait for the general's order, I don't count this matter! ”

"Then we have a request." 'Meng' Su and Xiang Qing glanced at each other, and said to Xiang Ye: "We ask the general to allocate the 1,000 'female' soldiers to us, and we will lead them." If we march to the hegemony, we will lead these 'female' soldiers to the battlefield and make contributions to the general! ”

Xiang Ye was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly and said to them: "Okay, you will 'hand' over with Bai Fu immediately, and in the future, the 'female' soldiers will be led by the two of you as your guards." From now on, they will be called the 'Women's Army', from officers to soldiers, all 'sex' are 'women'! ”

"No!" The two 'women' arched their hands towards Xiang Ye at the same time, and seeing that Wu Wei and others were still sitting in the tent, they knew that Xiang Ye still had something to arrange, so they told everyone to retreat and turned around and walked out of the big tent.

"Sister, since we established our wife who will be a general, he seems to be estranged from us, do you feel it?" Out of the camp, Xiang Qing and 'Meng' Su walked side by side, Xiang Qing suddenly sighed and said to 'Meng' Su: "Sometimes I think of his indifference to us now, I am angry with him, but more often I see him looking tired after the battle, and I feel sorry for him!" ”

Meng Su also sighed and said to Xiang Qing: "Sister, why don't I think the same way?" You're okay, you still had a chance to block a shot for the general, I've been with him for so long, but I haven't been able to do anything for him. Thinking that I am his wife makes me feel so guilty! ”

"My sister seems to hate Liu Bang very much!" Xiang Qing looked up at the clear blue sky, sighed and said to 'Meng' Su: "I proposed to the general to go with him to fight the hegemony, also because I found that the general hated Liu Bang very much and wanted to share some worries for him!" ”

At the mention of Liu Bang, 'Meng' Su's eyes narrowed slightly, gritted his teeth and said: "Liu Bang's wife, once tried to insult me, how can I let him continue to live in the world?" If I don't kill him in this life, it will be difficult for me to face the general calmly! ”

Xiang Qing nodded and said to 'Meng' Su: "If it were me, I would definitely kill him." We only have generals in our hearts, and any man who tries to do wrong to us must die! ”

Xiang Ye arranged to intercept and kill Liu Bang, and Xiang Bo also returned to Hong'men that night.

Because he was taking a small road, Erhu and the others who went to chase Xiang Bo did not meet him, and they lost the opportunity to finally stop him from exonerating Liu Bang in front of Xiang Yu.

Back at Hong's 'Gate', Xiang Bo met Xiang Yu overnight.

Xiang Yu had already fallen asleep, but Xiang Bo was his uncle after all, and when his uncle asked to see him, he couldn't refuse, so he had to get up and summon him.

"General, I just went to Bashang!" As soon as he entered Xiang Yu's big tent, Xiang Bo said to him: "I made a special trip to ask the general why Liu Bang kept the letter to the Guguan and resisted the army entering the pass!" ”

Hearing Uncle Xiang say that he went to Bashang, Xiang Yu's face suddenly became ugly, but Uncle Xiang was his uncle, and he was not good for a while, so he had to ask patiently: "What did Liu Bang say?" Did he plead guilty? ”

"Nope!" Xiang Bo lowered his head slightly and replied.

"Humph!" Xiang Yu snorted coldly and said: "Uncle has worked hard, since Liu Bang does not admit his guilt, tomorrow Xiang Ye's army will kill the hegemon, I will definitely let him die without a place to be buried!" ”

Seeing Xiang Yu angry, Xiang Bo raised his head and said unhurriedly: "The general is angry, and listen to what I tell you." I went to Bashang to investigate today, Liu Bang entered Guanzhong, and the property in Guanzhong did not dare to touch the border, and after attacking Xianyang, he retreated from the city and garrisoned him. In Bashang, Liu Bang personally told me that he had registered Guanzhong's property and population, and sealed all the treasury, just waiting for the arrival of the general to 'handover'. ”

After listening to Uncle Xiang's words, Xiang Yu sneered twice and asked, "Then can my uncle tell me why Liu Bang sent troops to occupy Hangu Pass and prevent our army from entering the customs when our army entered the customs?" I don't care about how he registers the population and seals the treasury, what I care about is why he blocks the army from entering the customs! ”

Xiang Bo saw that Xiang Yu was already angry, and hurriedly explained: "The general doesn't know, the reason why Liu Bang sent troops to guard the Hangu Pass is completely to prevent other thieves from entering the pass. ”

"Oh?" Xiang Yu frowned, looked at Uncle Xiang and asked, "Uncle said so, do you have any credentials?" How can I believe without evidence? ”

"I have made a decision with Pei to ask him to come to Hong's 'Gate' early tomorrow morning to apologize to the general and explain the reason, I don't know what the general wants?" Seeing that Xiang Yu's attitude was a little hesitant, Xiang Bo hurriedly said: "The general and Pei Gong are ministers in the same palace, if there is a misunderstanding, you just need to make it clear in person, why do you have to meet each other?" ”

Xiang Yu groaned for a moment, and his heart was also engaged in a fierce struggle. Killing Liu Bang is indeed a hand-to-hand capture, but after all, Liu Bang and him are both Chu ministers, and he is really a little ruthless when he does it to the courtiers of Da Chu.

"General, what do you think of this matter?" Xiang Yu didn't speak, and Xiang Bo asked with some apprehension.

Xiang Yu frowned and thought for a while and said to Xiang Bo: "You immediately go and arrange the quartermaster, let him order him to go down, prepare a banquet tomorrow, and celebrate the achievements of Duke Pei." As for Xiang Ye's side, I will send someone to tell him to suspend the attack on the hegemon, and the whole army will celebrate Pei Gong tomorrow. As for the matter of Shouhan Guguan, tomorrow I will 'get out'! ”

"That's great!" Hearing Xiang Yu say that he would suspend the attack on the hegemon and hold a banquet for Liu Bang to celebrate his success, Xiang Bo hurriedly said: "I'll arrange it now, and I will definitely make the banquet beautiful, so as not to lose the face of the general!" ”

Not long after Xiang Bo saw Xiang Yu, Xiang Ye, who had already fallen asleep, was called up by his own soldiers.

A herald sent by Xiang Yu conveyed to him the order to suspend the attack on Bashang, and after receiving the order, Xiang Ye sat in the tent and was silent for a long time.

The Hong's 'Gate' banquet is about to begin, and everything he has arranged in advance will also be officially launched after the banquet begins.

"Someone!" Xiang Ye sat alone in the dark tent for a long time before shouting outside the tent: "Go and invite Mr. Wu Wei, just say that I have something important to discuss!" ”

Erhu, who was standing outside the 'door' and was responsible for protecting Xiang Ye, hurriedly responded and ran to invite Wu Wei.

Wu Wei hadn't slept yet, and when Erhu arrived outside his tent, he was lying on the couch, flipping through a roll of bamboo slips with a dim oil lamp.

Hearing that Xiang Ye had called him to go, Wu Wei hurriedly got up and followed Erhu towards Xiang Ye's big tent.

"Sir, there is something I have been thinking about for a long time just now, but I still haven't come up with an eyebrow, so I specially asked Mr. to come and solve the 'puzzle'!" As soon as Wu Wei entered the big tent, Xiang Ye hurriedly stood up and greeted the 'door', took his hand and said: "I want to take advantage of this opportunity to kill Liu Bang, but the general just ordered someone to come and give an order, asking me to suspend the attack on the overlord." Although we had already guessed this result in advance, these words came out of the general's mouth, obviously because he no longer wanted to kill Liu Bang. ”

"The general is so frugal that he doesn't even light a lamp?" Wu Wei didn't answer Xiang Ye's question immediately, but looked at the dark tent and said, "It's pitch black, it's no wonder that the general feels 'lost'!" ”

Xiang Ye was stunned for a moment, turned around and looked inside the tent, and sure enough, it was pitch black, and the furnishings in the tent couldn't be seen clearly.

"Someone, light the lamp for me!" Hearing Wu Wei say that there was no light in the tent, Xiang Ye shouted outside the tent.

Erhu, who had just escorted Wu Wei back, answered, walked into the tent, lit a fire and lit the oil lamp.

The dim light of the oil lamp swayed from side to side, and under the illumination of the flickering light, the faces of Xiang Ye and Wu Wei were half-light and half-dark, and they looked a little weird.

"General, can we sit down and talk?" After the lights were turned on, Wu Wei smiled at Xiang Ye and said, "I haven't slept tonight, and I'm thinking about it." ”

Xiang Ye sighed and said to Wu Wei: "Sir, please sit, invite Mr. to come late at night, just to listen to Mr.'s teachings." ”

After the two sat down, Xiang Ye shouted outside the 'door': "Erhu, brew two cups of tea that my father gave me last time, I have to talk to my husband all night tonight." ”

"Don't, don't, General, don't talk to me all night." As soon as he heard Xiang Ye say that he wanted to talk all night, Wu Wei hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I love to be sleepy, and I don't want to think about anything when I'm sleepy, so let's hurry up and explain things clearly, and then go to sleep." ”

"Uh-huh." Xiang Ye nodded again and again, and at this time, Erhu had already walked in with two cups of thick tea, placed one cup on the table in front of the two of them, and then left two clay pots filled with hot water and wrapped in straw.

Xiang Ye picked up the teacup and said to Wu Weibi, "Sir, try this and see how it tastes." ”

Wu Wei took a sip of the teacup, then frowned and said, "It's a little bitter, but it's 'very' fragrant." ”

"That's right, drink more of this thing to clear the lungs, relieve fever, strengthen the spleen and so on, anyway, it's a good thing, drink more!" Seeing that Wu Wei did not reject tea, Xiang Ye took a big sip of tea and continued: "I expect that Liu Bang will definitely come to Hong's 'Gate' tomorrow to apologize to the general, I want to take this opportunity to kill him, I wonder if Mr. has a perfect plan?" ”

Wu Wei shook his head with a smile and said: "General, I haven't slept tonight, I've been thinking about how to deal with Liu Bang, and I wanted to tell you on the way here just now that Liu Bang can't be killed for the time being!" ”~
