Since entering Dingtao, Liu Bang has not been idle.

He has been making friends with all kinds of princes, even many princes look down on him as a country turtle with no background and no strength. But Liu Bang never gave up, he always remembered the old woman he dreamed of that night, after he killed the white snake.

She told him that he was the Red Emperor, the one to whom the destiny of heaven returned.

He just lacks a chance now, a chance to rise out of the crowd and stand out from the crowd.

After consideration, Liu Bang set his sights on Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu is the nephew of Xiang Liang, the leader of the Princes' Alliance, and is the most powerful general in the coalition.

If he can be related to Xiang Yu, then there is no doubt that he will be able to reach the princes and truly publicize his Liu Bang's name.

Thinking of this, Liu Bang found Zhang Liang again, the strategist who was 'cut off' by him halfway.

After listening to Liu Bang's wishes, Zhang Liang said: "Lord, you shouldn't be thinking about how to befriend Xiang Yu now. In the face of Xiang Yu, your identity is still weak. ”

In the past, Xiang Liang's soldiers were defeated by Tao, and Xiang Yu led his troops across the river and transferred the battlefield.

At that time, Liu Bang led troops to vote, which was equivalent to sending charcoal in the snow, and Xiang Yu would naturally befriend Liu Bang and even become brothers.

But now it is Xiang Liang's army that has broken through Dingtao and is approaching Wuguan.

The princes coming to vote can only be regarded as the icing on the cake, let alone a mere Liu Bang?

"Then how should I do it?" Liu Bang respectfully asked Zhang Liang, when there was almost nothing, the only thing Liu Bang, the lord, could give Zhang Liang was respect that no other prince could match.

There are always some people who live in the respect of others.

Money, power, and beauty cannot be shaken.

"Conflict! You need to actively or passively provoke conflict, let Xiang Yu personally admit it, and regard you as an opponent. Zhang Liang said incomprehensibly.

Thinking of the fierce man who ran outside the barracks with a hill on his shoulders every day, Liu Bang's heart twitched.

Against Xiang Yu?

This... Are you sure it's a good idea?

Won't the other party punch the internal organs out?

"What do you mean by this, sir?" Even though he was reluctant in his heart, Liu Bang still had enough respect and advice on his face, and he didn't have the slightest resistance to Zhang Liang's strategy.

Zhang Liang is very satisfied with Liu Bang, the lord.

Anyone who wants to have a platform to display their ambitions at will, only cooperate with the boss who does not contradict him and does not suppress him, that is the best boss.

Now for Zhang Liang, Liu Bang is such a boss.

"The princes are allied, and Xiang's uncle and nephew are dominant. Mo said that it was the rest of the countries that came to fight, even within the Chu army, there were many people who were dissatisfied with Xiang's uncle and nephew. If the lord can make Xiang Yu admit that he is an opponent, it will inevitably attract the support of those who have conflicts with Xiang's uncle and nephew. Get their support. ”

"From the heart of the king of Chu to the soldiers of various countries, they will become your arms and help. With their help, the lord will be able to lift the wind and ride the clouds. Zhang Liang is confident.

The more Zhang Liang explained, the brighter Liu Bang's eyes became.

He felt that what Zhang Liang said was really good.

Although it is very dangerous to make Xiang Yu his opponent. But it was a lucrative gamble.

As long as Xiang Yu admits it... There is no need for Xiang Yu to admit it positively, as long as everyone thinks that he, Liu Bang, is Xiang Yu's opponent, or even the only person who can fight against Xiang Yu, then he will naturally get investment from many parties.

To put it simply, it is to use Xiang Yu as a stepping stone.

Just like in modern society, those little stars always like to pull big stars to stir up scandals and fights.

In the end, it's all about getting attention and the approval of a certain aspect of people.

"Then how can I successfully oppose Xiang Yu without being killed by the other party in the first place?" Liu Bang was very distressed in his heart.

He won't ask Zhang Liang this question again.

As a lord, you can ask your subordinates for advice, but you can't ask everything, otherwise it will appear that the lord is completely unassertive, very incompetent, and even a coward.

It's not a matter of face.

But in the long run, it will either make the vassals have the heart to replace them, or it will make those aspiring talents feel that the future is bleak for following such a useless lord.

So sometimes, the word 'appropriate' is also important.

Liu Bang is not Xiang Yu, he has no natural family, bloodline, and background advantages, he is all self-made, and many small details must be paid attention to.

Just when Liu Bang was distressed, Fan Hao slammed open the door, spun back from the outside, and then rushed out with his sword, angry, terrifying, his face was full of clouds, and it seemed to be able to form frost.

Before he could rush out the door, Liu Bang heard his wife Lu Pheasant's voice coming from outside the door.

"Hurry up and stop him, don't let him do something stupid!"

Several soldiers with blue noses and swollen faces on the left and right came over from outside the door and hugged Fan Xu's thighs tightly.

Fan Xu was originally a dog meat seller in Pei County, and his own strength could only be regarded as average, and he could usually beat two or three big men without getting close.

But together with Liu Bang, after eating the white snake meat, his strength skyrocketed, and he already had the courage of a hundred people.

Shaking all over, the soldiers hanging on his lap flew out screaming.

"Sister-in-law! Lu Xiao is your sister, don't you feel sorry for her at all? She was taken away by that Xiang Yu and sent to the general's mansion. If it's late... Thinking of that green picture, Fan Xu's skin was hot, his muscles swelled even more, and the hilt of the sword in his hand creaked.

A woman dressed in a blue and black variegated long skirt, with a slender figure, undulating and plump curves, and a beautiful appearance, but her face was slightly pale, and she seemed to be a little frightened, strode in from outside the door, raised her bare hand, and a big ear scraper slapped Fan Xu's face firmly.

"Then what do you want? Raise your sword and kill the general's mansion? Kill the general with a sword, and then save the third sister?"

"And then, the entire Dingtao City will be our enemy, we can't escape at all, and everyone will be buried with you. ”

Lu Pheasant, this woman is really ruthless, her sister was taken away, the end may not be too good, her first thought is not to rescue her sister, nor to cry to her husband. It's for the sake of 'taking care of the overall situation', even if it is at the expense of my sister, it will not hesitate.

Fan Xu's whole body was constantly expanding and contracting, and every breath he took seemed to exhaust the strength of his whole body.

The crunch of a mouthful of steel teeth.

"Madame!

"Fan Hao is my brother, and Lu Xiao is my sister. Their business is our business. How can you stand by and watch? Even with Chu Jun... With the princes as enemies, even if the head falls to the ground and the blood flows three feet, I, Liu Bang, will not hesitate! No one can hurt my brother and my sister!" Liu Bang strode in an extraordinary stride, and the words in his mouth were full of blood, as if he was really willing to give up everything, and he also had to breathe this sigh for Fan.

But the reason why he said this was precisely because he knew Fan Xu.

Fan Xu is a person who values righteousness more than his life.

Since he Liu Bang is willing to give up everything for him verbally, then Fan Xu should naturally be willing to give up everything for him Liu Bang first.
