As soon as Liu Bang and his fifty sergeants arrived at Xiang Yu's residence, which was the former Sishui City Prefect's Mansion, they were stunned by the sight in front of them. They saw people standing on the three floors outside and outside the Prefect's Mansion.

There were no less than three thousand warriors wearing armor and holding weapons in their hands. Each of them was full of energy and murderous. When Liu Bang and the others stood in front of them, they could feel the smell of blood rushing towards their faces.

Come on. At this moment, even Xiao He couldn't guess how Xiang Yu was going to deal with them. If it was just an ordinary banquet, would it be necessary to send so many soldiers to stand outside the house? Just when the two of them were frightened,

A man dressed as a butler happened to come out. When he saw the two of them, he rushed forward and asked them who Liu Bang and his party were. After getting a positive answer, he said: "My general has been waiting for you in the hall for more than a while. You two can follow me now."

Come into the house." He said and led the way. Liu Bang and Xiao He looked at each other and saw worry in each other's eyes. However, seeing the butler's posture, they knew that they could not retreat, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow.

When the housekeeper walked into the governor's house, which he was very familiar with, Liu Bang suddenly felt like "the wind is rustling and the water is cold, and a strong man will never return once he leaves."

In fact, Xiang Yu was also very puzzled by the large number of soldiers and horses deployed outside the palace. For this reason, he also asked Fan Zeng why he deployed such a large array, but Fan Zeng only said that it was to give Liu Bang and the others a show of strength, thus

Hit them hard. Xiang Yu had already rejected Fan Zeng's suggestion to kill Liu Bang and the others. At this time, he could no longer oppose his method, so he had to agree with a wry smile. Soon after, the accompanying generals also arrived one after another.

, only Fan Zeng and Xiang Zhuang did not arrive. Xiang Yu felt very strange, because Xiang Zhuang had always carried out his orders most thoroughly. He didn't know why he suddenly came late, so he sent someone to look for him in the military camp.

Fan Zeng and Xiang Yu thought that he arrived late because of a knot in his heart, but he didn't take it to heart.

Seeing Liu Bang and Xiao He walking in, Xiang Yu couldn't help but admire Liu Bang's courage. If he only brought 500 soldiers when he entered the city because he didn't dare to disobey his orders, then now he entered with only one person.

The government can see that he is not without merit, at least he still has some courage. Xiang Yu sat on the seat carelessly, pointed to the seat opposite with his hand and said: "You two, just sit there. When Mr. Fan and his wife arrive, I will

Just order someone to open the banquet." There was no respect in his words.

Liu Bang and Xiao He bowed to each other and sat down according to Xiang Yu's instructions without saying anything else. You must know that at that time, the idea of ​​seating at a banquet was very particular. The highest position was to face the door, mainly for entertaining.

It was arranged by the distinguished guests. Since Xiang Yu entertained Liu Bang today, Liu Bang should naturally sit in the upper position. But now Xiang Yu is sitting there. Of course, according to the custom of the Chu people, the left is respected, so Xiang Yu can let them sit on the left.

, but now the left position is vacant, obviously prepared for Fan Zeng. The one sitting opposite the master, with his back to Da Boen, is the subordinate. It was mostly prepared for some servants, but today Xiang Yu let him

Liu Bang's two invited guests were sitting there, which was obviously another humiliation for them. But Liu Bang and Xiao He had already made up their mind to put patience first, so even in the face of this situation, the two of them laughed it off and sat down.

There.

After a while, Fan Zeng and Xiang Zhuang walked in hand in hand. Seeing that everyone was already sitting, Fan Zeng hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "I have discomfort in my lower body, so I'm late. I hope you can forgive me." He consciously walked to the left.

The first person sat down, and Xiang Zhuang walked to the right and sat down. When he sat down, he glanced at Liu Bang and Liu Bang inadvertently. There was a strong murderous intention in his eyes, but everyone present except Fan Zeng did not.

Discover this.

After the food and drinks were served, the awkward situation was relieved. Xiang Yu held the golden statue in his hand and smiled at Liu Bang: "Today, in order to entertain General Liu, I called all the generals under my command, General Xiang Ji, to let everyone get to know each other."

First, and secondly, it’s to help General Liu wash away the dust.” He pointed to a man with a beard and a fierce appearance, and said, “He named this person Wu She, he was a man who was the most brave in the three armies. On that day, Qi State was under Linzi City.

, he took the lead and killed more than ten Qi generals in a row. He can be said to be the most powerful general in our army." Then he pointed to a tall, smart and capable man and said: "His name is Yingbu. He is a man of both wisdom and courage. When he fought against Donghai County,

It was the strategy he came up with that enabled our army to take it down without losing thousands of troops."

Xiang Yu introduced his generals to Liu Bang one by one, and Liu Bang had to raise his glasses one by one. However, among these people, only Xiang, Xiang Bo and Yingbu raised their glasses to Liu Bang in return. The others only raised their glasses briefly.

He nodded and accepted. Finally, Xiang Yu pointed at Long Qi and said: "He is the only one among these generals who can fight with me. He was guarding Donghai County that day, and I also spent a lot of effort to defeat him, so

If I say who I am most optimistic about among everyone, it is Long Qie." Long Qie hurriedly said a few words modestly. After introducing the generals under his command, Xiang Yu asked with some surprise: "I remember that General Liu also has a few people under his command.

Why don't you bring generals who are capable of fighting to drink with us today? By the way, I remember that one of them named Zhou Bo also fought with me that day. Although he was eventually captured by me, his leader

He is a very capable soldier and is a hero. Why don't you see him here today?" When he talked about being captured by him, several generals present smiled.

However, Liu Bang seemed not to notice their ridicule at all, and said calmly: "Those people have become generals of Chu since they returned to Chu State. They are no longer under my command, Liu Bang, and I have no authority to lead them on an expedition. Therefore, this expedition

Qin and I did not bring them here."

"So that's it. I'm asking too much. I thought General Liu wanted to support his troops and respect himself just like me." Xiang Yu said sarcastically. Then he asked: "Now the Qin army is about to reach me."

The city of Sishui has fallen, I wonder if General Liu is willing to join hands with me, a traitor from Chu, to defeat them?" Xiang Yu asked.

"This is exactly what Liu Bang wants to see. I think if your Majesty knew General Xiang's thoughts, he would no longer take General Xiang's previous actions to heart." Liu Bang said hurriedly.

"Since General Liu said this, is there any strategy to retreat from the enemy?" Xiang Zhuang suddenly interjected and asked, with a hint of ridicule in his tone.

Liu Bang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "I haven't thought about this yet. I wonder if General Xiang has thought about it?"

Xiang Yu said with a smile: "I have already planned to defeat Qin. If the Qin army doesn't come, forget about it. If it comes, I will kill as many as I want. Well, let's not talk about these business matters today and just drink. I'll wait until tomorrow."

I will order the whole army to stop drinking." As he said this, he poured another bottle of wine into his mouth. After hearing what Xiang Yu said, everyone hurriedly picked up their wine glasses and took a drink, no longer talking about military affairs.

I started to talk about other things, such as which girl is pretty.

When the wine was full of wine, Xiang Zhuang suddenly said: "We people are drinking here without silk and bamboo to accompany us, and there are no beauties to dance. We really can't enjoy ourselves to the fullest."

Cao Jiu on the other side smiled and said: "Let's say that women are not allowed in our military camp. Even if it is allowed, now that it is almost the first watch of the day and most of the people in the city have fallen asleep, where can we find beautiful women to sing and dance to entertain them?"

Xiang Ta also joked: "I didn't expect that Brother Zhuang, you already understand the beauty of women at such a young age. Come on, I'll give you a toast." He drank the wine in the glass. As soon as he said this, the whole room was filled with people.

The generals all laughed. It turned out that although people at that time generally got married young, Xiang Zhuang was a man who had never touched a woman, so everyone was very amused by Xiang Zhuang's words and laughed out loud.

.

Xiang Zhuang's face flushed when they made such a fuss, but he couldn't help it, so he had to wink at Fan Zeng repeatedly. It turned out that Fan Zeng and him came late today because they had made a plan to stab Liu Bang to death, and

What I said just now was an excuse, but now it has attracted everyone

It's a joke. Seeing Xiang Zhuang's embarrassment, Fan Zeng hurriedly said: "Actually, women have to sing and dance to help the wine. We are all martial arts practitioners, why not one of us perform a sword dance here to help the wine.

?This will not only make everyone happy, but also not break the rules of our army."

"Mr. Fan's method is very good. I wonder which general is willing to dance?" Xiang Yu was the first to support.

Just as Fan Zeng was about to speak, Xiang Ta was the first to say: "Since it was Brother Zhuang who said just now that drinking like this won't make you happy, let him dance for a while." At this point, he glanced at Xiang Zhuang and Fan Zeng, and it turned out that from the two of them,

He had already seen through the two people's thoughts in their words, and he also wanted to get rid of Liu Bang. He was afraid that the two of them singing and singing would be too conspicuous, so he helped Fan Zeng to speak out.

When Xiang Zhuang heard this, he stood up and said, "In that case, let me dance first to attract jade." Immediately, a soldier took a sword and presented it to Xiang Zhuang. He held the sword in one hand and the sword in the other.

Drinking wine

He drank the wine when he arrived in the field, then threw the glass back on his table, pulled out his sword and started dancing in the field. "I got out of my car and drove there. Since then,

The emperor said that I am coming

.Call his servant and tell him to carry it. The king's affairs are many and difficult, and they are difficult to maintain. I went out of my chariot to the outskirts of that place. I set up this gate and built another gate..." Xiangzhuang

While dancing with the sword, he sang songs from the Book of Songs

The sword moved slowly or quickly according to the changes of the poem, so that the sword watchers were unconsciously attracted by his sword dance. Even Liu Bang, who was not very familiar with literature and ink, was also attracted by Xiang Zhuang's dance while dancing.

I was moved by the singing.

Just when everyone in the room was fascinated by Xiang Zhuang's sword dance and poetry, Xiang Zhuang had slowly walked towards Liu Bang. He was still singing poems in his mouth, but his eyes were fixed on Liu Bang's throat.
