At the Hongmen Banquet.

Xiang Yu was on the verge of a fight. The overlord of Chu, who liked to go straight, had a natural aversion to intrigues. This time, although Liu Bang made him very unhappy, but thinking of the friendship he had worked with his uncle Xiang Liang in the past, he decided to give Liu Bang a favor in front of all the princes.

An argument.

Regarding Xiang Yu's "gentleman" style who cherished his reputation, his father Fan Zeng tried his best to advise him several times, but was not accepted. This made Fan Zeng very disappointed.

Xiang Yu, in the final analysis, is just a temperamental man whose force is excessive.

Although he had a smooth journey, he was still a young man who had not fully grown into a man.

Sunset in the west.

A small force under the banner of the Chu Army arrived at the Allied Forces garrison in Hongmen amid the expectations of allied princes. The commander-in-chief of the Chu State's Western Expeditionary Army, Wu'an Hou Liu Bang, finally arrived.

When the princes gather to form an alliance and the overlord orders, no one dares to disobey.

However, Liu Bang arrived late, which made Xiang Yu, who was originally preparing to give Liu Bang a show of strength, look even more unkind.

"Overlord, Qin Dog is rampant. After our army occupied Xianyang, it chased the rest of Qin Dog Li Yuan all the way, but did not want to be attacked by enemy fire in Chencang. The entire army of 30,000 was annihilated. If you do not avenge this, you are not a gentleman." Liu Banggang.

As soon as he entered the tent, without waiting for anyone to ask questions, he stamped his feet and beat his chest in front of Xiang Yu, Zhang Er, Wei Bao and other princes.

"Pei Gong, what are you talking about? Qin Gou still has the strength to counterattack, what do you say?" Xiang Yu's expression changed when he heard this. Liu Bang, Zhang Liang and other generals in front of him were all defeated and in a state of embarrassment.

The appearance and expression cannot be faked.

Zhang Er and others in the tent also looked at each other. If it is true as Liu Bang said, then there is still a Qin army in Guanzhong, and its strength is not weak. Who is this? The main force of Qin in Zhang Han and Wang Li's border army were destroyed

After that, which other army of Qin could withstand the thunderous attack of the anti-Qin princes?

"The overlord is the little thief Li Yuan. To put it into detail, you and I have dealt with each other. In the battle of Yongcheng, thief Li escaped from you and me." Liu Bang said bitterly, with a flash in his eyes.

Proud. Finally succeeded in drawing the attention of Xiang Yu and others away from the topic of occupying Xianyang first, then the next thing will be easier to handle.

"Li Yuan, is that Li Yuan who stole Xingyang?" Wei Bao exclaimed. Under Xingyang City, the Wei army suffered heavy casualties. General Wu Pu and others were all killed in the battle, and there was not even a tenth person left in the entire army. The actual situation, Wei

Leopard also knew that it was not Li Yuan who really invaded the Wei army, but Liu Bang who was standing in front of him at this time.

"It is this officer. Two months ago, Li Thief raised the banner of the Qing Dynasty and invaded Xianyang from Sanchuan County. He killed Hu Hai, Zhao Gao and others. Then, he took a large amount of money, silk, grain and grain and fled to the Yongqi area. Hearing that

After hearing the news, a certain general, Qi Gill and Wang Ling, was the vanguard and raised his troops to attack the Qin Dynasty. However, he accidentally fell into the trap of Li Thief in the Chencang area, and all the vanguard soldiers were wiped out. Qi Gill and other generals were killed in the battle. Now,

The Li thieves are powerful and are gradually trying to counterattack. We are not strong enough, so we invite the Overlord soldiers to enter Xianyang and take up the position to attack the Li thieves."

Liu Bang was very eloquent, and while he was talking, he was crying and peeing. At this time, he no longer looked like the Marquis of Wu'an who commanded an army of 100,000 people. He was just a pitiful old man who had been bullied.

In terms of acting, Liu Bang has a special talent.

At this point, neither Xiang Yu nor Li Yuan is as good as Liu Bang.

After Liu Bang's words were 70% true and 30% false, all the princes looked sideways. They had already concluded that Qin had no resistance, but this time they just entered the pass to loot and gain some benefits.

, but unexpectedly, the Qin people actually still had an elite army stationed in Guanzhong, and even Liu Bang suffered a defeat.

"Thief Li, I will attack for Duke Pei." Upon hearing this, Xiang Yu said angrily. As the leader of the coalition forces, his strong sense of mission made Xiang Yu want to kill all the Qin troops blocking his way.

In his opinion, the main force of the Qin army led by Zhang Han has fallen. If the Qin army can resist the attacks of various princes, it will not matter if it is just Li Yuan. Guan Jian or Liu Bang's army is too capable. If it were Chu

As for the army, Li Yuan would have been destroyed long ago.

"Pei Gong, Li Thief is really so rampant. In the past in Yongqiu, this officer was just a small military prince. Is it possible that he could soar into the sky and expand his strength like this? If Li Thief is really powerful, he will never abandon Xianyang.

Fleeing to the west. If Pei Gong has time, let's talk about his days in Xianyang." Fan Zeng asked with a cold smile.

Liu Bang's words could be concealed from others and deceived Xiang Yu, but they could not be believed by Fan Zeng. What's more, he had already discovered that the trend of the banquet, under the guidance of Liu Bang, was beginning to develop in the direction of questioning who Li Yuan was. This was not

Xiang Yu’s original intention of hosting a banquet at Hongmen.

"Overlord Mingjian, since I led my troops to the west, there are many dangerous passes in the mountains, and I have fought bloody battles alone for several days. The dangers are insignificant. That day, when the soldiers passed the plank road, they heard that the Qin thieves wanted to flee west. In desperation, Fang Shi's army entered Xianyang. As for the

The looting was actually caused by lax restraint, so please punish me." Liu Bang looked solemn and said loudly and solemnly.

Speaking of this, Liu Bang, who was nearly fifty years old, had faint redness and swelling in his eyes. He thought of Fan Kuai, Fu Kuan and other generals who died on the battlefield. He thought of the hardships of sleeping in the open air, and of the unknown people who stayed in his hometown Pei County.

Wife and children of life and death.

"Please punish me, my overlord!" Liu Bang's subordinates, Cao Shen, Zhou Bo and other generals who followed him all knelt on the ground, bowed their hands and saluted Xiang Yu.

"Generals, get up quickly!" Xiang Yu's heart softened. Although he looked majestic on the battlefield, he rarely saw fellow brave generals bowing their heads.

Cao Shen and Zhou Bo were both brave generals. Xiang Yu also admired their ability to lead troops in combat. He even vaguely believed that his generals, such as Long Qie, Zhong Limei and Xiang Zhuang, were not as capable as Cao Zhouji.

Bit.

Under Liu Bang's cruel trick, Xiang Yu's anger disappeared.

Liu Bang got up and quickly sent Zhang Liang to give Xiang Yu fifteen pairs of jade walls and twenty pairs of jade buckets. In addition, he gave his father Fan Zeng a white jade trick and a pair of jade dragons. As for the other princes, they had their own attendants and each other.

The people around me approached him and gave him a gift, and for a while, everyone in the princes looked happy.

Lose money and avoid disaster.

This is a good way to eliminate hidden dangers.

Liu Bang actually spent a lot of money to get out of trouble this time. Of course, these things were all collected by General Liu Jun from Xianyang. What Li Yuan took away were only things from the palace, treasury and treasury. Xiang Ying

Li Yuan did not forcibly search the house of Ziying and others, and there was no need to quarrel.

These things left in Xianyang benefited Liu Bang and finally fell into the hands of Xiang Yu and other princes.

After three rounds of drinking, Xiang Yu, Liu Bang and all the princes were all flushed. Among them, Xiang Yu, despite being very brave, had a very low drinking capacity. After more than ten dings, Xiang Yu was already shaky, but Liu Bang actually drank the most.

Okay, but at this time, he pretended to be drunk and lay on the case without making any move.

Among the counselors, Ya's father Fan Zeng looked at him coldly and remained silent for a long time. He was so angry that he could not speak. Opposite him, Liu Bang's chief counselor Zhang Liang was calm and composed, frequently drinking with various princes.

Happy words.
