Chapter 869: The Feast of the Hung Gate (Medium)
Although Hangu Pass is solid, there is Zhang Han to lead the party, leading a large number of Qin troops to take refuge in Xiang Yu, Zhao Gao killed Hu Hai, and Ziying united with a mysterious master to kill Zhao Gao, the entire Qin court was in chaos, and there was no time to take care of it.
Hangu Pass was breached so suddenly.
The coalition army under Xiang Yu has swelled to 300,000, and even Liu Bang has collected some remnants of the defeated generals, as well as the gifts of some princes and kings, and after uniting some small forces, it has reached the level of nearly 100,000 soldiers.
Liu Xiang's opposition gradually became a trend.
Although Xianyang has not been broken, everyone knows that there must be a battle between the two largest rebel army leaders.
The winner gets everything, and the loser loses everything.
It's in such an eerie and slightly stalemate atmosphere.
Liu Bang first sent people to promote Xiang Yu's bravery in the army, touting him as the strongest man in the past, and his force was comparable to Chiyou.
This is the desire to suppress the first promotion, so that Xiang Yu's already strong reputation will go to a higher level.
Immediately afterwards, Liu Bang openly invited many princes to discuss the promotion of Xiang Yu as king, and the location was chosen in Hongmen.
If Xiang Yu arrives, then the princes will return to their hearts, if Xiang Yu does not come, it is tantamount to declaring the world, he has no ambition as a king, and he is not worthy of being the lord of the world.
This is a conspiracy against Xiang Yu.
But it was also touched by the side of the conspiracy.
It made it difficult for Xiang Yu to refuse.
Indeed, smart people will notice that Xiang Yu should not go to this banquet where people are not good.
But there are many fools in the world, and there are even more people who follow the clouds.
More people will not understand that this is Liu Bang's poisonous plan, but will only think that Xiang Yu does not have the ambition and courage to become a king.
This will not match the image of Xiang Yu that is advertised, resulting in the collapse of the personality.
Once the character collapses, Xiang Yu will gradually lose the morale of the army and the people.
And many princes will also get a little respite under Xiang Yu's tiger might.
The reason why Liu Bang was able to gather many princes and set up a banquet in Hongmen. This is what he told many princes, and he threatened that Xiang Yu would never dare to come, and this banquet was destined to be their one-man show. After the banquet, all the princes returned to their places, and those who wanted to get the country should rely on their abilities.
If it weren't for this, how could everyone really unite with Liu Bang and murder Xiang Yu together?
In the big tent of the Chu army, Xiang Yu was already dressed neatly, holding the Chu halberd in his hand, and the essence of the heavy pupils skyrocketed.
"What a Pei Gong Liu Bang, this time I will let you know that I, Xiang Yu, am not someone you can deceive. Thou shalt set up a banquet for the princes at the Hongmen, and thou shalt consider the public to proclaim me king. Then I will go and see how you make me king. Xiang Yu said with a sneer.
Fan Zeng was on the side and wanted to speak, but Xiang Yu waved his hand and said: "Father doesn't need to say much, my mind has been decided and cannot be changed." ”
Xiang Yu's personality was as Zhang Liang and Liu Bang expected.
It's just a little stimulated, and he is arrogant, and he is really ready to go to the meeting alone.
It's not that he doesn't know that Liu Bang made an ambush in Hongmen.
But he is not afraid, he thinks that he has the best bravery in the world, and no matter what kind of challenge, he can crush it.
Fan Zeng still spoke: "Yu'er... !”
Since Xiang Yu took charge of the army, Fan Zeng hadn't called Xiang Yu that way for a long time.
After all, as a general, Xiang Yu needs to be dignified, and although Fan Zeng is a father, he is also a subordinate, so he can't mess up the order at will.
"It's dangerous to go, Yu'er has a reason to go. It is inconvenient for me to stop it, although that Liu Bang is a child, designed by you, and threatens that you should not bring a single soldier to show respect and sincerity to the princes. However, the king of Chu and the king of Yong are also princes, and they are also princes, and they are also eligible to participate in this banquet, and they can even lead troops to protect themselves. Fan Zeng is worthy of being a cunning old traitor, and he caught the flaw in Liu Bang's plan in an instant.
Although because of Xiang Yu's domineering, there are very few princes who can be attached to Xiang Yu, but it is not nothing.
Xiong Xi, the king of Chuluan, is simply Xiang Yu's 'puppet', Xiong Xi's guard, isn't it Xiang Yu's guard?
And Yongwang Zhang Han, who turned his back on the Qin Dynasty, was despised by the world, and attached to Xiang Yu, but was the most unlikely person to betray him. After all, like Lu Bu, there are only a few people who can brazenly call the three families slaves.
If the two of them went, although Xiang Yu said that he came alone, he still carried heavy troops, and he was foolproof.
What Fan Zeng said was the words of Lao Cheng to seek the country, and Xiang Yu should not listen to it.
But Xiang Yu was a little impatient.
His self-confidence in himself has swelled to a point that is unimaginable to ordinary people, on the battlefield of hundreds of thousands of people, he rushed and killed at will, and there was no enemy, and he had already made him forgetful, and he didn't feel that anyone in the world could hurt him and harm him.
"Father, there is no need to be so troublesome, how can I not know my skills? In this world, those who can hurt me and harm me are afraid that they have not yet been born. After that, Xiang Yu raised his head and laughed a few times, obviously full of confidence in himself, and the majestic domineering spirit gushed out, almost overturning the big tent.
Fan Zeng sighed, and was about to say more, when he suddenly snorted, only to feel that his whole body was numb, and his whole body twitched vigorously.
"Father!" Xiang Yu grabbed Fan Zeng, tried his best to restrain the explosive nature of the true element, and injected a wisp of strong soldier true yuan into Fan Zeng's body, wanting to explore what it was. But he felt a huge malice in Fan Zeng's body, opposing his true yuan. Xiang Yu didn't dare to exert force, fearing that if he used too much force, he would harm Fan Zeng.
And the military doctor soon arrived under the summons of the guards.
This military doctor is the first medical Taoist saint in the Chu army, and he is a doctor from a hundred families, and his name is Chun Yuqi.
After entering the big tent, after seeing Fan Zeng's situation at a glance, his face was slightly different.
lifted Fan Zeng's clothes, revealing the other party's thin back.
But I saw that on Fan Zeng's back, I don't know when it was full of poisonous sores, and each poisonous sore was raised high, and among the orange-red transparent blood bags, the candle flame shone, and countless maggot-like small insects could be faintly seen.
"Gu! Fan Gong was poisoned by Gu, it looks like it should be a strange Gu, gnawing bones and blood, people don't die, then parasitic five organs, endlessly. ”
"This method should be the secret technique of the Chu people, the old man can't solve much, he can only suppress Fan Gong's pain first, eliminate the Gu worms, and still need to find the root and cut off its source. Chun Yuqi first sealed the acupoints on Fan Zeng's back with silver needles, but instead of picking those poisonous sores, he used a transparent glass cover to cover Fan Zeng's back, and then ran the true yuan, inhaling a large number of Gu insects into the big cover through the transparent skin, temporarily controlling the range of activities of these Gu insects.
Yingbu on the side said hatefully: "It must be Liu Bang! It must be that he was afraid that Fan Gong would stop the lord, so he killed Fan Gong." I led my troops to arrest Liu Bang and forced him to hand over the method of solving the Gu. ”
The Chu people are good witch Gu, and they have inherited the way of raising Gu and cultivating Gu among the ancient witches.
Although Xiang Yu has always disdained this technique, he also knows that Zhong Gu is not more complicated than poisoning, it is far more complicated than poisoning. Often even if it is the same kind of Gu worm, different people raise it, the effect is different, and the way to solve the Gu is even more different.
Therefore, usually once a Gu worm is hit, it will either use its own strong strength to force the Gu worm out. Either you can only find the person who has fallen under the Gu and find a way to crack it from him.
If this Gu was placed on Xiang Yu's body, with the strength of Xiang Yu's true element, in just an instant, it would all be burned in the body and cleaned up.
But this Gu was in Fan Zeng's body, and Fan Zeng's weak cultivation was not enough to resist at all. And Xiang Yu's true element nature was too domineering to help Fan Zeng get rid of the Gu poison.
"Go and invite my eldest brother over!" Xiang Yu said to Yingbu with a gloomy face.
