?

Xiang Ye put one hand on his forehead, the wick of the oil lamp was beating, and the dim light flickered slightly in the camp tent, reflecting the camp tent from time to time.

Wu Wei asked him not to kill Liu Bang for the time being, on the grounds that if Liu Bang died, Xiang Yu would definitely not give him the title of king, and if Liu Bang was alive, in order to contain Liu Bang, Fan Zeng would definitely contribute to his title of king.

In addition, if it is found out that the assassination of Liu Bang was arranged by him, I am afraid that in order to give King Huai and the princes a 'handover' generation, Xiang Yu will have to find him out and let him bear all the charges.

Xiang Ye, who was full of entanglement, didn't know how to choose for a while, Hong's 'Gate' was the best time to kill Liu Bang during the entire Chu-Han War, if he gave up this opportunity, I am afraid that it would not be so easy to kill Liu Bang in the future.

If he can really be crowned king, history will also be changed, and there will be more variables in the future, and the historical knowledge that Xiang Ye knows will be less and less applicable in this era. But if he insists on killing Liu Bang, he will definitely be found out afterwards that he secretly instigated it. Being sent to be substituted for the crime is probably also a sure thing.

Xiang Ye must think carefully about how to choose this time, this choice is very important to him, and if he makes a mistake, he will lose everything.

"Someone!" It wasn't until the eastern sky 'revealed' a touch of fish belly white that Xiang Ye shouted outside the tent.

Hearing the shout, Erhu stepped into the camp tent and asked with his fists in his fists, "What does the general command?" ”

"You immediately go and inform Wei Feng and Bai Fu to withdraw the crossbowmen, and let Li Xinpeng and Jing Ao also remove the sword and axe men who are in ambush outside the 'gate'. I have informed them, you go and tell Shi Lei again, all the five hundred centaurs have changed into civilian clothes, as for himself, let him come back quickly, and don't let Liu Bang see that it is our people who are behind the scenes! Xiang Ye furrowed his brows and groaned, and ordered Erhu to notify the cancellation of the pre-arranged ambush.

Erhu answered, turned around and walked out of the big tent.

Xiang Ye let out a long breath and lay on his back on the ground. He didn't sleep all night, he still didn't feel sleepy, he didn't want to let go of Liu Bang easily, but what Wu Wei said was not unreasonable.

What he is most worried about is not whether he can be crowned king, it is good to be crowned king, but if he can't be crowned king, he will be taken out and killed, and Liu Bang will be killed, which is too worthwhile.

Evacuate all the personnel who commanded the operation, remove all the ambushes in the Hong'men', and leave only the 500 soldiers on the path between Zhiyang and the Hong'men', this is the best way that Xiang Ye came up with all night.

If the five hundred soldiers can stop Liu Bang, it is the best, even if they can't stop it, they can also put the responsibility on the head of the bandit, and it has nothing to do with him Xiang Ye.

The sky was getting brighter and brighter, Xiang Ye sighed and closed his eyes. The tangled things in his heart had been dealt with for the time being, and his mood calmed down a little, and it didn't take long for him to let out a slight snoring sound.

Xiang Qing has been in Xiang Ye's military camp recently, and it is inconvenient for 'Meng' Su to live in the same camp with Xiang Ye, the two 'women' are inseparable every day, and the relationship is not as tense as when Xiang Ye first arrived under Xiang Yu's tent.

Early in the morning, 'Meng' Su and Xiang Qing put on their armor, and just waited for Xiang Ye to give an order to lead the troops towards Bashang. But they waited for a long time, until the sun jumped out of the horizon and cast that golden 'color' of brilliance on the earth, and Xiang Ye's order still did not come.

"Sister, let's go see what the general is doing, why hasn't he notified us to send troops until now!" Xiang Qing walked outside the tent, looked at the sun that had jumped out of the horizon, turned around and lifted the curtain of the tent and shouted to 'Meng' Su, who was still sitting in the tent.

"No need to go!" Meng Su shook his head and said to Xiang Qing: "The general is not a lazy person, and he will not take military orders seriously. Since there has been no news until now, it can only mean that he has received an order from the general to suspend the attack on the hegemon! ”

Xiang Qing sighed, turned around and returned to the tent, lying on the couch next to Meng Su and looking at the top of the tent for a long time.

After making an agreement with Xiang Bo, Liu Bang led Zhang Liang, Fan Hao and others to Hong'men early in the morning.

Along the way, Liu Bang was a little restless, riding on horseback, his body kept twisting, as if there was a puff of nails under his buttocks.

"Pei Gong, what's wrong?" Zhang Liang discovered Liu Bang's unnaturalness, and rode a horse to his side and asked with concern, "Is it uncomfortable?" ”

Liu Bang shook his head, looked ahead, sighed and said, "Wronged, how can I do the matter of sending troops to guard the Hangu Pass in an attempt to prevent Xiang Yu from entering the pass!" ”

"Don't think about it!" Zhang Liang smiled at Liu Bang and said: "Now that Xiang Bo has promised to help Pei Gong survive this catastrophe, when he arrives at Hong's 'Gate', Pei Gong will accompany Xiang Yu Haosheng, as long as we adapt to the situation, this crisis should be resolved." ”

"That's it!" Liu Bang sighed, and silently rode his horse in the direction of Hong's 'gate'.

Xiang Yu knew that Liu Bang was going to Hong'men to explain to him why he had sent troops to garrison Hangu Pass, and ordered the guards to line up outside his camp tent early in the morning, set up a sword formation, and only wait for Liu Bang to come and give him a dismount.

Fan Zeng and Xiang Bo sat on the left and right sides of Xiang Yu respectively, and this time Xiang Yu did not summon the generals over. He believes that there is no need for such a grand etiquette to meet Liu Bang, as long as there are two key people to accompany him here.

"General, Liu Bang is a hero among the people, and this time I came to Hong'men to apologize to the general, which is nothing more than a temporary strength inferior to us. Why don't the generals take this opportunity to eradicate him, and there will be one less disaster in the future! "Liu Bang has not yet come, Fan Zeng always thinks that this is the best time for Xiang Yu to kill Liu Bang, as long as Liu Bang is dead, no matter how ambitious the heroes in the world are, no one will be Xiang Yu's opponent.

As soon as Fan Zeng's words came out, Xiang Bo on the other side immediately raised objections, and he bowed to Xiang Yu and said, "General, Pei Gong came this time with a twelve-point sincerity. I once talked to Pei Gong, and he never regarded the capture of Guanzhong as his own credit, and always believed that if it were not for the great general who contained the main force of the Qin army, he would not have been able to capture Xianyang so smoothly. He also told me that to capture Guanzhong and overthrow the tyrannical Qin, the general should be the first to take credit, and Guanzhong should have belonged to the general! ”

"Huh." Fan Zeng shook his head with a smile and said to Uncle Xiang: "The general is the general's uncle, and the family should help the family, but I think the general is suspected of eating inside and out?" Liu Bangnai is a hero, his ambition must not only be in Guanzhong, and now he is willing to dedicate Guanzhong to the general, which is nothing more than retreating and advancing to get through this crisis. If he is given a chance in the future, we will definitely become his prisoners! ”

Xiang Bo was red-faced by Fan Zeng's words, and was about to refute it, when a personal soldier outside the tent ran in and said to Xiang Yu: "General Qiqi, Liu Bang and more than 100 followers have arrived outside the 'gate', may I ask if the general has received them?" ”

"Could it be that he still wants me to meet him outside the 'gate'?" Xiang Yu smiled coldly and said to his own soldiers: "Pass my general order and order Liu Bang to come to the big tent to see me immediately!" ”

The pro-soldiers led the order and left, Xiang Yu pressed his hands on the table and said to Fan Zeng and Xiang Bo: "It's too early to say whether Liu Bang is loyal or 'traitor', and we will observe carefully after he comes." If he is really loyal, then I will forgive him for stationing in Hangu Pass; If he is a traitor, he will be cut off in front of the tent today, so that there will be no trouble! ”

After a while, Liu Bang came to Xiang Yu's big tent accompanied by Zhang Liang, and the rest of the entourage all stayed outside the Yuan' gate.

The sword-wielding soldiers standing outside Xiang Yu's tent in two rows raised their swords one after another as Liu Bang and Zhang Liang passed, and 'crossed' them on top of their heads.

Liu Bang trembled through the sword formation and entered the big tent under the leadership of a Xiang Yu's own soldiers.

"Liu Bang meets the general!" As soon as he entered the big tent, Liu Bang knelt on the ground and gave Xiang Yu a five-body bow.

Xiang Yu, who was courteous to him, was stunned, Xiang Yu didn't expect that Liu Bang, who was a minister in the same hall, would make such a big salute when he saw him, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

"Pei Gong, please get up!" Fan Zeng, who was sitting on the left side of Xiang Yu, saw that Xiang Yu was a little distracted by Liu Bangbai, so he said: "I don't know what happened when Pei Gong suddenly came to Hong's 'Gate'?" ”

Liu Bang stood up, bowed and clasped his fists to give Fan Zeng a salute and said: "Bang came to Hong's 'Gate' this time to ask the general for his guilt!" ”

"What is Pei Gong's crime?" Fan Zeng sneered twice and said: "You are a minister in the same hall as the general, and you gave such a big gift to the general as soon as you entered the account, aren't you afraid that this matter will be spread and damage the general's reputation?" ”

When Liu Bang heard Fan Zeng say this, he hurriedly bowed down and clasped his fists with both hands and said to Xiang Yu: "General Mingjian, Bang Shi admires the general to make this great gift." The general and I were ordered by King Huai to lead our troops to attack Qin in two ways. The general is fighting north of the Yellow River, I am fighting south of the Yellow River, if it is not for the general to break the main force of Zhang Han, I will inevitably be surrounded by the Qin army, let alone the attack on Xianyang, I am afraid that at this time I and the soldiers and horses under my tent have been exposed to the wilderness, where can I still be the first to enter the customs? Since entering Guanzhong, I have not dared to obtain the property in Guanzhong, and all the treasury and population have been registered and registered, and they will be dedicated to the general when they enter the customs. Previously, he sent troops to guard Hangu Pass, completely worried that bandits would run rampant, and in case of a business trip, he would not be able to meet the high hopes of King Huai and the general. But one of my painstaking efforts was taken advantage of by the villains, who made up lies from them, and separated the general and the father from me. Today, I came to Hong's 'Gate' to ask the general for his guilt and to transfer everything to the general! ”

Xiang Yu, who was still very angry, was very useful after listening to Liu Bang's explanation, and said to Liu Bang with a smile: "Pei Gong doesn't need to think too much, I heard that Pei Gong is coming yesterday, I have already arranged to let the Huotou Army prepare wine and food, and I will make a special trip to celebrate your success today!" As for the matter of you wanting to occupy Guanzhong, that is what your Zuo Sima Cao told me without injury, otherwise I would not be so angry, since the words have been spoken, this matter will pass, don't mention it again! ”~
