Chapter 30 Night Interview with Liu Bang
Zhang Liang and Han Wangcheng unknowingly changed the topic to Liu Bang. At this time, Han Wangcheng was very interested and looked at Zhang Liang with bright eyes. Zhang Liang did not shy away. He only smiled calmly and said: "Although there is Zhang Han and Sima Xin in Guanzhong. He and Dong Yi are stationed there. Gong Ao is guarding Hanshui on the Jiangling line. But if Liu Bang wants to get out of Hanzhong, he only needs to use a little trick to enter Guanzhong. Xiang Yu's plan is nothing to be afraid of."
Seeing Zhang Liang's words, Han Wangcheng was slightly unhappy and said: "It's not easy to break out of Hanzhong. There are high mountains and steep mountains. It's easy to get in but hard to get out. I'm afraid Zhang Xiangguo thinks too highly of Liu Bang."
"Your Majesty, you might as well wait and see." Zhang Liang laughed heartily. In front of Han Wangcheng, Zhang Liang couldn't explain too much. Regarding Liu Bang's future plans, Zhang Liang could only keep it silently in his heart.
Han Wangcheng also saw that Zhang Liang was unwilling to disclose. He couldn't ask in detail. Even if he asked, it would be useless. After all, it was Liu Bang's choice, not his own. But thinking about his future prospects, Han Wangcheng was not without worries. He He picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip. Then he sighed: "Let's not talk about Liu Bang for now. Zhang Liang, do you have a strategy? Plan a plan for me."
"Did the king encounter any difficulties?" Zhang Liang was surprised. Han Wangcheng sighed helplessly: "Xiang Yu is a woman of kindness and a wolf of ambition. I am very worried that he will attack South Korea first."
People like Han Wangcheng have seen that Xiang Yu will attack everyone in the future. What about others? Have they also considered this? Thinking of this, Zhang Liang also picked up the wine glass, raised it to Han Wangcheng and said, "Your Majesty, please don't do it." Don’t be flustered. Just wait and see what happens. Practice martial arts and literature. You can protect Korea from worries.”
There was a brief silence. Han Wangcheng drank the wine in one gulp. He stood up and said: "Okay. As long as Zhang Xiangguo is by my side, I will not be afraid of Chu."
…
Liyang. Under the first ray of sunshine, the city gate tower rang with the sound of three-way drums. Accompanied by the "squeaking" sound of the door shaft rubbing, the Liyang city gate slowly opened. The defenders lazily walked out of the city gate and opened the door. Yawning, holding Chang Ge, standing on both sides.
Before everyone could completely stand still, a cavalry team of 100 people hurriedly rushed into Yueyang City. The leader of the camp wanted to step forward to stop him. However, a general in the cavalry team waved his horsewhip. He whipped him hard. The officer shouted: "I've blinded you. Don't you know me, Huan Chu?"
The commander of the village was frightened. He had never seen such a fierce person. At this time, the cavalry rushed into the city gate, picked up the dust, and rushed straight to the street. Soon, they stopped in front of a big house. The war horse settled in. Huan Chu looked at the house on the horse. There was a huge plaque on it with the word "Ying Mansion" written on it. Huan Chu was sure that this was Ziying's house. He immediately pointed forward with his riding whip: "No matter what Men and women. Kill them all."
Dozens of cavalrymen sang a promise, got off their horses, drew their long swords from their waists, and ran straight to Ying's Mansion. Just as they ran up the steps, several soldiers prepared to knock on the door, but found that the door was not locked. They immediately They swarmed in and sealed the Ying Mansion from top to bottom.
The roars and roars of the soldiers were heard in the courtyard. After a while, two soldiers hurried out and came to Huan Chu. They cupped their hands and said, "General, the courtyard is empty."
"What?" Huan Chu was shocked. He immediately looked around. The street was already crowded with pedestrians. But relying on Huan Chu's experience, Ying Ziying should have already received the news and left in a hurry. However, this is also Something that was expected. I heard that Xiang Zhuang was very close to Ying Ziying's daughter. I guess this matter has something to do with Xiang Zhuang. But Huan Chu doesn't want to participate in the internal fighting of the Xiang family. It's better to tell Xiang Yu about it. It was up to him to decide how to deal with it. Thinking of this, Huan Chu immediately reined in his horse and shouted: "Follow me back to the camp."
…
Bashang in the south of Xianyang and Xiangzhuang military camp in the southwest of Xianyang are all beating drums and gathering troops. Xiang Bo's tribe stationed near Xiang Yu's camp is also gathering troops to prepare to return in batches.
At dawn, when Huan Chu's army drove out of the camp, two secret documents were sent to Xiangzhuang Camp and Xiang Bo's camp respectively. This secret document was handwritten by Xiang Yu, asking them to personally watch Liu Bang enter the Han Dynasty.
This is a hint to Xiang Zhuang and Xiang Bo. Liu Bang is the biggest enemy of the Xiang family. No matter what, Liu Bang cannot be allowed to change his plan to enter Shu. And Xiang Zhuang knows very well that Liu Bang's entry into Shu is inevitable. Only if he enters Shu will there be any chance of success. Later, he secretly crossed Chencang.
At this time, the army was assembled and began to leave the camp one after another. Huayu had closed most of the intelligence agencies in Guanzhong and returned to Xiangzhuang. The upcoming Chu-Han war will have a great impact on Xiangzhuang. Avoid Excessive exposure of the Guanzhong Intelligence Network is a top priority.
At this time, Xiang Zhuang was riding on a tall horse. This horse was a very majestic Guanzhong horse. It was once Ziying's favorite horse. But at this time, Ziying had quietly left Guanzhong. He would also stay away from the battlefield. The horse could not accompany him on the battlefield, so he gave the horse to Xiang Zhuang.
The majestic Guanzhong horse. In addition to running fast, it also has very good endurance. Xiang Zhuang, who was on the horse, stroked the mane of the war horse with his hand. He liked it very much. Ding Gu, who was following quietly, sighed softly and asked: " General, why don’t we go back to Jiangdong directly.”
"Liu Bang and I are old friends. He is about to enter Shu. I should go and see him off."
"But I think Liu Bang is treacherous and scheming. It's better for us not to meet him, so as not to misunderstand the general." Ding Gu said hesitantly. Xiang Zhuang could feel Ding Gu's contempt for Liu Bang, so he smiled brightly. He said: "No matter what, we should meet our old friends for a while. There is nothing to worry about."
Xiang Zhuang did not tell the secret document sent by Xiang Yu. At this time, they had traveled some distance. Ding Gu said again: "The general's fiefdom is in Jiangdong. Should we consider moving the prisoners of war in Zhu County as soon as possible?"
"I have already asked someone to take care of this matter." Xiang Zhuangle stopped his horse. He turned around and looked at Xianyang. This is the largest capital city in the Qin State. It has the hard work of several generations of Qin kings and the lives of countless laborers. .Now, it was destroyed in a fire by Xiang Yu.
But the turmoil//chaos in Guanzhong cannot be changed by himself. Thinking of this, Xiang Zhuang sighed and continued to move forward on his horse. At this time, a middle-aged man in black came galloping on his horse. He had just arrived. More than a hundred paces away, he was stopped by a group of patrolling soldiers. Hua Yu, who was beside Xiang Zhuang, saw this scene. He hurriedly rode his horse and greeted the man in black. The man in black whispered a few words beside Hua Yu. Hua Yu rode the horse again. He ran back and said next to Xiang Zhuang: "General, in the morning, more than a hundred Chu troops rushed to Yueyang and besieged Ying Mansion. Although they gained nothing, they quickly returned to Xiang Yu's camp."
Xiang Zhuang nodded slightly and said softly: "Are the prepared substitutes in place?"
"Yes. We are already on standby near Wuguan."
"That's good." Xiang Zhuang smiled. He was looking like a fool. He would use a fake Ying Ziying to replace the Ying Ziying who had left Guanzhong, so that the tragedy of history would be cut off. Thinking of this, Xiang Zhuang stepped forward and shouted loudly. Order: "Speed up. I want to meet Liu Bang as soon as possible."
…
It was almost dark when Xiang Zhuang's army arrived in Du County. At this time, Xiang Bo's two thousand troops had already arrived for more than half a day. After Xiang Zhuang issued the order to build a camp, the Chu army began to march in Du County. Set up camp to the west.
Xiang Zhuang took Kong Ji and hurriedly rode his horse to Liu Bang's camp. He turned through several winding roads and arrived at Liu Bang's camp. After informing the soldiers guarding the camp of their names, Xiang Zhuang rode his horse to the camp.
Liu Bang's military camp was extremely well-defended. Most of the soldiers were young and strong. It could be seen that they were recruited from the Lishan construction site. At first, I wanted to provoke a battle between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu in Guanzhong, but I didn't want to. In the end, Liu Bang took advantage of the loophole. They turned against the guests and took these troops as their own.
At this time, they passed through Chidao. Xiang Zhuang and others came to the Central Army. A captain who was responsible for guarding the big tent came over. He searched around Xiang Zhuang and found no hidden weapons. The captain smiled and pointed to the big tent and said: "General Xiangzhuang, my lord has been waiting inside for a long time. Please."
Xiang Zhuang nodded and quickly walked into the tent with Kong Ji.
Xiang Bo and others were sitting at the table. The banquet had been arranged neatly. This was Liu Bang entertaining the guests. Xiang Zhuang walked into the tent, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "King of Han, I'm late."
At first Xiangzhuang called him King of Han, but Liu Bang didn't understand. But soon, he remembered that he had entrusted the land of Han and was worthy of the name of King of Han. He raised his hands and smiled and said, "You are making fun of me. I am not the King of Han yet."
To make a joke, Liu Bang pointed to the seat next to him and said: "I specially reserved this seat for you. I will go to Hanzhong tomorrow. I don't know when we will see each other after this farewell. Dear brother, you should also take care of yourself." "
"General Liu is too polite. I guess General Liu may have a plan." Xiang Zhuang said intentionally or unintentionally. Although Liu Bang didn't know what Xiang Zhuang wanted to express, he was sure that Xiang Zhuang was testing himself. .Test whether he intends to fight back to Guanzhong. After thinking for a moment, Liu Bang suddenly laughed and said: "Brother Xian made fun of you. Please come to the table quickly."
Xiang Zhuang smiled and cupped his hands. He walked to the table next to Liu Bang and sat down. Kong Ji also chose a seat and sat down. He looked at Zhang Liang not far away. He cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I have heard for a long time that Prime Minister Han is erudite and knowledgeable. Tianji, I have wanted to ask for advice for a long time, but it was not convenient. Now Prime Minister Han is about to enter Shu. I don’t know when we can see each other again."
"Haha. Why should Mr. Kong be so polite? I am not accompanying the army when I enter Shu this time. Besides, I am the Prime Minister of South Korea after all. I should return to our king. Therefore, I am also here to say goodbye to General Liu." Zhang Liang finished. . He raised his glass and smiled: "I would like to toast General Liu first to show my reluctance."
Everyone raised their glasses and drank it all. At this time, Xiang Zhuang's sharp eyes glanced at Liu Bang. He then turned to Zhang Liang. His tone was calm, but there was a slight edge in his words. He said word by word: "But Liu Bang The general enters the pass, but he has to take Han Xin with him. What's the point?"
As soon as this sentence came out, not only Zhang Liang, but everyone was stunned, especially Liu Bang, who was sitting on the throne. He did not know that Han Xin was in the army. Zhang Liang did not communicate with him. At this time, Xiang Zhuang The sudden attack made Liu Bang not know how to answer. He could only say: "Well... I really don't know about this matter."
Liu Bang was speechless. He held the wine glass dully, not knowing what to do. The atmosphere in the tent suddenly became serious.
