Liu Bang stationed his troops in Bashang, which is located in the area of ​​today's Lantian County. This is the buffer zone of the Lishan Mountains, but Liu Bang's camp was stationed on the plain north of the Bahe River.

In the past few days, cavalrymen from Liu Bang's camp have been constantly rushing out of the camp and patrolling around. This is because Liu Bang is worried that Xiang Yu will suddenly attack, so he takes strict precautions.

But Liu Bang also knew very well in his heart that if Xiang Yu's 200,000 allied troops attacked Ba Shang by surprise, this place was located on a plain and there was no danger for him to defend himself. He would not be able to resist Xiang Yu's army and would become a lamb to be slaughtered.

But fear always filled Liu Bang's military camp. Not only Liu Bang, but everyone was worried about Xiang Yu's troops stationed in the military camp. Every day, people mentioned this matter more or less, and then were captured by patrolling soldiers. Being beaten with a rod as a warning to others,

Today, when the first watch drum sounded, a cavalry team of more than 20 people came galloping outside the military camp. The leader was Xiang Bo. When they were approaching the military camp, there was a sudden sound in the camp. The warning gong sounded,

"Dang Dang Dang" the gong sounded very urgent. Soon, more than a hundred people rushed out from the camp. Everyone on horseback, they surrounded Xiang Bo and others at a very fast speed. The first captain, a school captain, rode his horse to the formation. In front of him, he shouted: "Who is this person?"

"Please tell Mr. Zifang that my old friend Xiang Bo is here to visit. If you want to discuss it," Xiang Bo handed over his horse and said,

The captain looked at Xiang Bo up and down and saw that he did not mean any harm. Besides, there were only about twenty people accompanying him, so he lowered his guard and shouted: "You can wait here."

Before turning around, the captain glanced at the few cavalrymen beside him. Soon more than fifty people were galloping towards the wilderness in the distance, wanting to check whether there was a large force following Xiang Bo.

But the captain had already hurried to the camp,

After about a stick of incense, the captain came back on his horse and came to Xiang Bo's horse. He smiled and cupped his hands: "General Zifang invites you in. Come with me."

The captain shouted: "Let's go," and all the cavalry gave way. Xiang Bo gave instructions to his followers, and with only three of them, he hurried away on horseback to the Chu camp.

Zhang Liang has been worried about Xiang Yu these days. He is worried that Xiang Yu will suddenly attack Ba Shang. If Xiang Yu advances at night, Liu Bang's army will be unable to resist. But at this time, the two armies are in the same situation. For a while, Zhang Liang has no way to do anything. Turning danger into safety has become the most difficult hurdle for Zhang Liang to break through.

He also tried to shirk responsibility from various angles and let Xiang Yu feel relieved. However, after several considerations, Zhang Liang felt that none of these strategies were feasible and had to give up.

Suddenly, Xiang Bo came to visit today, which made Zhang Liang think that this was an opportunity to reverse the situation through Xiang Bo. Because of this, after Zhang Liang received the report from the camp captain, he had no time to tidy up his robes. Hurrying to the main camp,

After walking to about five camps, he saw a group of people holding torches and leading Xiang Bo to his barracks. Zhang Liang was overjoyed and hurriedly greeted him: "Brother Xiang Bo, we haven't seen you for a long time. ,"

"Brother Zifang, you make me miss you so much," Xiang Bo said politely, and hugged Zhang Liang tightly. After a while, the two separated. By the firelight, the two looked at each other for a while, and Zhang Liang Liang turned around and said with a smile: "Quick, it's cold outside, go to my barracks and take a fire test."

Zhang Liang looked at his entourage and said, "Go to the kitchen to prepare a banquet. I want to entertain Brother Xiang well."

The two of them walked some distance and arrived at Zhang Liang's barracks. As soon as they entered, Xiang Bo said anxiously: "Brother Zifang, you can quickly pack your bags and leave this place with me."

Zhang Liang felt nervous because of Xiang Bo's abnormality. He seemed to realize something and immediately asked: "Brother Xiang Bo, why did you say this?"

"It's urgent, let's leave before we leave." Xiang Bo pulled Zhang Liang and wanted him to pack his things quickly, but Zhang Liang didn't seem to appreciate it. He looked at Xiang Bo and sighed: "Brother Xiang Bo, don't explain yourself clearly. ,How can I leave so easily,"

After a pause, Zhang Liang took Xiang Bo to the charcoal pot, took two soft mats, threw them on the ground, and said with a smile: "Sit down and say, don't be anxious."

Seeing Zhang Liang like this, Xiang Bo had to sit down first, stretched out his hand to test the fire, and sighed: "Yu'er has given orders to gather troops and horses at dawn to attack Liu Bang. If brother Zifang doesn't leave with me as soon as possible, , I’m afraid the coalition forces will cross the border and leave no trace behind,”

As he said that, Xiang Bo looked outside the tent and sighed: "It's almost two o'clock in the morning. Brother Zifang, you'd better pack your bags quickly."

The news brought by Xiang Bo did not surprise Zhang Liang. Xiang Yu intended to attack Liu Bang, which Zhang Liang had expected. When Xiang Bo hurriedly came to report the news, Zhang Liang felt relieved. Feeling anxious, he thought for a moment and replied: "Brother Xiang Bo, please sit down and wait until I go out."

Before Xiang Bo could speak, Zhang Liang got up and hurried out of the tent, leaving only a confused Xiang Bo sitting by the charcoal pot, not knowing what to do. He wanted to leave, but it was inconvenient to abandon Zhang Liang and stay. , and felt that it was extremely inappropriate, so Xiang Bo waited for a while, then got up and walked around in the tent, but Zhang Liang never came back.

,,,,,,

Zhang Liang left the tent and hurried toward the Chinese army. After walking for a long time, he came to the commander's tent. Several guards guarding the commander's tent stopped Zhang Liang and said, "General Zifang, it's so late. Do you have anything?" What's the matter?"

"Go and tell your lord, I have urgent military matters and I want to see you." Zhang Liang was a little anxious, but the bodyguard didn't move. He looked at Zhang Liang with a slightly embarrassed look and said, "It's so late..."

"Stop talking nonsense, go and report it quickly," Zhang Liang was a little angry. The guards did not dare to disobey, so they turned around and walked towards the big tent.

Soon, Liu Bang's voice came from inside the tent: "Is this the ovary? Let him in quickly."

Soon, the guards came out from behind the curtain, came to Zhang Liang, and said apologetically: "General Zifang, my lord lets you in,"

Zhang Liang nodded and hurried towards the commander's account.

In the commander's account, Liu Bang was checking the military books. In the past few days, news about Xiang Yu's garrison came back one after another. The coalition's 200,000 troops were huge and had seriously threatened his own safety. Because of this, Liu Bang could not sleep at night. He He had to take some military books and read them a few times, but he was always worried about Xiang Yu, fearing that the coalition forces would attack the camp at night. Although he had the military books, he didn't read a word of them.

At this time, Zhang Liang came to visit in a hurry, which made Liu Bang realize that something seemed to happen. At this time, he had put down his military book, got up and walked around in the tent. Soon, the curtain opened, and Zhang Liang hurriedly walked in.

"General, the matter is urgent. The coalition forces will set up camp tomorrow," Zhang Liang said anxiously. At this time, he had already arrived in front of Liu Bang and continued: "Xiang Yu has informed the three armies that they will gather troops and horses at dawn to march towards Bashang. "If the general doesn't plan ahead, the army will arrive tomorrow and everyone will be destroyed."

When Liu Bang heard the news, he almost fell to the ground. At this time, he anxiously held Zhang Liang's hand and asked anxiously: "Where did you get this news?"

"Xiang Yu's uncle Xiang Bo is in my tent at this time. He revealed it to me," Zhang Liang replied,

Seemingly seeing Liu Bang's surprise, Zhang Liang added: "In the early years, Xiang Bo committed a murder and took refuge in Xiapi. I saw that he was a descendant of the Xiang family, so I took him in to take refuge in the mansion. Therefore, we have a deep relationship." This time Xiang Yu decided to kick the camp. Xiang Bo couldn't bear my death here, so he came here to deliver a message, hoping that I would leave with him. I have gained the general's trust, how can I betray him so easily, so I came here to inform the general, "

Hearing what Zhang Liang said, Liu Bang became even more anxious. He wandered around the charcoal pot and sighed: "If Xiang Yu's army comes to kill me, my life will be at stake. Instead of waiting for Xiang Yu to kill me, let's escape together tonight."

"No, no," Zhang Liang waved his hands and said, "If the general stays in the army and the morale of the army is still stable, he can still survive. If the general abandons the army and flees, the army's mentality changes, Xiang Yu can defeat him with one strike. At that time, the general flees to Where can we get rid of Xiang Yu? Moreover, if the general escapes from the military camp and can be captured by a few soldiers, then he will really lose the justice of the world."

Being awakened by Zhang Liang, Liu Bang sighed: "I just made a mistake..."

"General, please quickly tidy up your clothes and go to see Xiang Bo. You may be able to reverse the situation. Otherwise, it will be a big deal." Zhang Liang ordered, saluted Liu Bang, and said, "I will go back and stabilize him first. General, please Don’t hesitate, come quickly,”

,,,,,,

After leaving Liu Bang's tent, Zhang Liang hurried back to his camp. At this time, Xiang Bo was still pacing in the tent. He was eager to return, fearing that he would be discovered. He had left the Chu camp, but Zhang Liang did not return, and Xiang Bo did not return. It’s better to leave directly,

After waiting for a long time, hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside the tent. Xiang Bo looked out and saw that Zhang Liang had hurried back. Go ahead,"

"No, no, no, I have asked General Liu to come over. Brother Xiang might as well wait here for a while,"

"How can this happen? I came here specially for brother Zifang. I didn't intend to meet Liu Bang. You..." Xiang Bo was too anxious to speak. When Zhang Liang saw this, he could only sigh: "Liu Bang and I We fell in love with each other as soon as we met, and I really can't bear to let go, so I went here to tell Brother Xiang that if Brother Xiang still misses his old feelings, he might as well stay and have a casual meal. Let me make a decision whether to go or stay."

When Zhang Liang said this, Xiang Bo hesitated. At this time, a soldier shouted loudly outside the door: "The Lord is here,"

Following the sound of hurried footsteps, Liu Bang walked in quickly. When he saw Uncle Xiang, he cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I heard the magpies chirping this morning. I guessed that there must be distinguished guests coming to the door. Unexpectedly, it was General Xiang who came. "

At this time, Xiang Bo had no way to retreat, so he had to go forward, cupped his hands and said, "I have seen General Liu,"

"General Xiang, why are you so polite? Come, let's sit down and talk." Liu Bang pulled Xiang Bo to the charcoal pot. At this time, a soldier walked in and said, "The banquet is ready. Can we serve it?"

"Quickly, bring the banquet. I want to entertain General Xiang well." Liu Bang was very enthusiastic. Zhang Liang also persuaded him: "Brother Xiang is a generous man. General Liu and Brother Xiang might as well get closer to each other." Have lots of contacts,”

"I should talk to Brother Xiang more," Liu Bang also laughed. At this time, a group of soldiers carried wine, food and square tables and hurried into the big tent.

When Liu Bang saw that the food and wine had been arranged neatly, he pulled Xiang Bo and said with a smile, "General Xiang, let's chat while we drink."
