Chapter 2 Rebirth Hongmen Banquet
The dark night, the bright lights, the camp at night seemed full of vitality, and the soldiers were all happy and excited.
Because the Kraiyuan was washed by the rainwater flowing down from Mount Li, the northern exit was like a doorway and looked like a gulf, so it was called Hongmen.
The ancient Guanzhong Plain is fertile and vibrant, with many jungles, trees scattered around, and some fields are already deserted and weeds are messy, about half a meter high.
There is a river flowing in the distance, making a buzzing sound of water, and fish are vaguely rolling.
There is a bright moon in the sky, bright and clear, like a disc, emitting silver light, scattered on the ground. The night is not dark, but is extremely bright.
There is no need to worry about getting lost in such a night.
At night, the camp was still noisy, and everyone was anxious, as if they were expecting, but they were uneasy, like wild beasts in heat.
The army's tents were connected and separated by huge fences, and there were vague torches that were lit, as if celebrating something or cheering.
The camps were scattered in all sides, including the Chu army, the Zhao army, the Qi army, etc. The coalition forces of the six countries gathered together.
The white country is right in front of you.
Xianyang is right in front of you.
The Six-Nation Alliance arrived in Xianyang not for justice or to eradicate tyranny, but for robbing money, territory, and women.
Xiang Yu looked at the night outside the window and fell into deep thought, with excitement, suspicion, and unexplained emotions.
Yu Ji, one of the beauties in the Qin Palace.
Not long ago, Pei Gong Liu Bang occupied Guanzhong and many beauties in the Qin Palace. Unfortunately, not long after, the rebel coalition forces joined forces to reach Guanzhong.
Pei Gong sent troops to guard Hangu Pass, hoping to stop the invasion of the rebels of the six countries and occupy Guanzhong exclusively.
Unfortunately, Pei Gong overestimated his ability and underestimated the Allied Forces of the Six Nations. It was just a charge and Hangu Pass was broken.
Pei Gong's hope of becoming the King of Guanzhong was completely broken.
Pei Gong led his troops to station him at Bashang; Xiang Yu led his troops to station him at Hongmen.
The two sides were going to fight together... but soon, Liu Bang admitted his defeat and sent eighteen beauties to apologize for Xiang Yu. One of the beauties was Yu Ji.
The remaining seventeen beauties are all divided into the generals under their command.
Xiang Yu is loyal enough, spends money together, shares with beauties together, shares with territory together, and shares with good things together.
As for Han Xin's statement, Xiang Yu was stingy and reluctant to reward his subordinates with official positions and titles... it was actually a slander.
Xiang Yu rewarded Ying Bu as King of Jiujiang and enthroned Fan Zeng as Marquis. Others also received rewards, not stingy at all... As for being stingy, he was really stingy.
Because he has always been bad for Han Xin.
As for nepotism, we can only say that we are each other.
Xiang Yu valued the Xiang family, while Liu Bang valued the old brothers in Pei County. As for the emergence of talents in Pei County, or the emergence of talents in Xiang family, it was all fake.
Because it is easy to enjoy the cool air by relying on big trees, as long as you are not too useless, as long as you have some skills, as long as you can survive to the end, most of you will have a high position.
Appointing people with nepotism is the mainstream of society; as for being talented, it is actually an alternative.
"I've traveled through time or been reborn?"
Xiang Yu frowned slightly.
…………
In the night, a man was riding a horse in a certain direction in the Chu army camp.
In the night, the man riding a horse moved forward quickly, and the war horses under him galloped, turning into eternity and immortality in the endless night.
As they kept running, the Han army camp gradually approached.
The Han army camp was neat and rigorous, like a giant beast sleeping.
Around the barracks, some soldiers were patrolling, orderly and stable, with their own faces of anxiety and fear.
"Please meet Zhang Liang, the Han army!"
The man spoke.
"Tell the Zifang and say that you are visiting an old friend, and you are in a hurry!"
A moment later, a gentle man appeared, about forty years old and said, "Where did Xiang Bo come from?"
"General, gather 300,000 troops and attack Bashang on a date. How can Pei Gong resist? Zifang should leave quickly to avoid being affected!" Xiang Bo stepped forward and said.
"Pei Gong has great kindness to me, how can I give up Pei Gong and leave..." Zhang Liang said firmly.
"The Chu army is strong, so why is Pei Gong the opponent!" Xiang Bo said.
"It's better to drink a little while, and it's just right to recommend it to Pei Gong!" Zhang Liang said.
"That's all!" Xiang Bo sighed.
When he arrived at the military camp, he set up a banquet. The guards greeted Xiang Bo. Zhang Liang went to pay homage to Liu Bang alone and said, "Pei Gong, big things are not good, big things are not good!!"
"General, Xiang Yu will kill him to the top!" Zhang Liang said, talking about Xiang Bo's information.
"The ovary, the situation is in crisis, what should I do?" Liu Bang flashed a hint of anxiety.
Zhang Liang said: "There are three strategies. The best strategy is to evacuate Bashang, go to Wuguan, and give Guanzhong to the coalition forces of the six countries; the middle strategy is to rectify the troops and fight with King Xiang; the worst strategy is to go to Hongmen to apologize and ask King Xiang for understanding!"
Liu Bang was silent.
The best strategy is to leave Guanzhong directly, which seems to be the best strategy.
But why did the generals under his command follow him to fight bloody battles and fight to Guanzhong? It was not because they were loyal to him, but because they robbed money, women, and territory.
The best strategy is to directly abandon the territory, and the women and property escape, and the soldiers will inevitably become disinterested. The next moment, they may directly surrender to Xiang Yu.
In other words, chop off his head and give it to Xiang Yu as a gift.
The best strategy seems to be the highest, but it is actually a dead end.
As for Zhongce, fighting for Xiang Yu is also a dead end... at least he can't beat this general.
The worst strategy is to go to Xiang Yu's army to beg for mercy, which seems to be the only choice.
"If you go to the army to beg for mercy, will Xiang Yu forgive me?" Liu Bang asked.
"Xiang Yu is a man who values loyalty, virtue, and ethics. If he was in the Spring and Autumn Period, he could be the one who was the one who was Qi Huan and Jin Wen!" Zhang Liang said: "In the past, Duke Huan of Qi did not defeat Cao Mo's alliance, Duke Wen of Jin was not greedy for the profit of attacking Yuan, Duke Wen of Wei did not abandon the time of the Yu people, and Duke Xiao of Qin did not abandon the reward of moving trees!"
"General Xiang Yu is also such a person!"
Liu Bang said: "What should I do?"
Zhang Liang said: "The king should be friendly with Xiang Bo, let him speak well, cut off King Xiang's murderous intention, and state the interests to the superior general. The general, in order to defeat the Qin army and kill Song Yi, was already as powerful as King Huai of Chu!"
"Secondly, when a general is leading outside to guard against the Chu army to intercept the killing halfway... the general let Pei Gong go, but his generals may not let Pei Gong go!"
Liu Bang said: "You invite Xiang Bo in for me, and I will treat him like my brother."
Zhang Liang went out and invited Xiang Bo and Xiang Bo to meet Liu Bang. Liu Bang brought a glass of wine to toast Xiang Bo, and agreed to make a family with her children and daughters, saying, "I entered Guanzhong and didn't dare to take anything for myself. I registered officials and people, closed the warehouse, and waited for the arrival of the General. I sent troops to guard Hangu Pass to prevent the coming of the thieves and unexpected changes. How dare I rebel when the General came?"
Xiang Bo agreed and told Liu Bang: "Tomorrow, I will personally apologize to King Xiang."
Liu Bang said: "Okay."
