Chapter five hundred and fiftieth IX Liu Xiang teamed up
In the Chu army camp, Xiang Ji stood in the martial arts field, doing a set of boxing skills easily and freely. He wiped away the sweat with a towel. He couldn't help but shook his head and said: "It's so boring to practice like this. It's better to fight with Lin Ze."
One game."
Fan Zeng, who was standing aside, couldn't help but smile bitterly. The new lord he worshiped had extraordinary martial arts skills, but he was a little too warlike. He had just fought with the champion of Qin yesterday, and now he was thinking about him again.
.
At this time, a soldier came in and announced: "Your Majesty, Military Advisor, there is someone outside the camp who calls himself Zhang Liang. He is an old friend of your Majesty and has come to pay a visit."
"Zhang Liang? Isn't he the Korean nobleman who has been in contact with his uncle before? Did he receive my letter and come here specially?" Xiang Ji thought to himself.
"Go and invite him to my camp," Xiang Yu ordered decisively.
"Promise," the soldier promised and left.
Soon, Xiang Ji saw Zhang Liang dressed in white in the camp.
Zhang Liang bowed to Xiang Ji very formally and said, "Zhang Liang has met His Excellency Lord Wu Xin of Great Chu."
Xiang Ji also stretched out his hand to support me and said, "Since we are my uncle and old friends, I don't need to be polite. Please sit down."
Zhang Liang straightened up, with a disappointed expression on his face, and sighed: "I have a very close relationship with your uncle Xiang Liang, and we often get together to plan the great cause of overthrowing Qin and restoring the country. Who would have thought that I haven't seen you for several months?
It is really sad that Brother Liang was harmed by Qin."
As he spoke, Zhang Liang's expression became more solemn, his eyes were moist, and he looked like he was regretful after losing a close friend.
Xiang Ji looked at Zhang Liang's expression when he mentioned his uncle. It didn't look like he was being hypocritical. Instead, he comforted Zhang Liang: "My uncle has been working hard to regain the Chu Kingdom all his life. Now that the Chu Kingdom has been established, he himself died on the battlefield."
, it can be said that there are no regrets in life, you don’t need to be too sentimental.”
Zhang Liang took advantage of the situation and calmed down his sad expression, and praised: "Brother Xiang Liang, I would be even more pleased if I could see you achieve this today."
Fan Zeng keenly sensed that something was wrong in the atmosphere. This image of Liang came prepared. He was afraid that Xiang Ji would be confused by Zhang Liang, so he quickly interjected: "I wonder why Your Excellency Zhang Liang came to see my lord today?"
A trace of doubt appeared on Zhang Liang's face, and he looked at Xiang Ji: "Who is this?"
Xiang Ji quickly introduced them to the two of them: "This is Fan Zeng, my new military advisor. This is Zhang Liang, a descendant of the Zhang family who was the fifth minister of Han Dynasty."
Zhang Liang's face showed just the right expression of admiration: "It turns out he is a military master. I have admired him for a long time."
A smile appeared at the corner of Fan Zeng's mouth: "I've heard of Taoist Huangshi's high feet for a long time. When I saw him today, he really lived up to his reputation."
Today's world is thousands of miles across. If we say it is big, this area is really big. If we say it is small, this circle of people is really small.
Even though Fan Zeng is a disciple of the military hermit sect, he has heard of Huangshi Taoist.
Fan Zeng did not fall into the never-ending exchange of compliments, but pointed directly to the topic and said: "Please explain the purpose of your visit, Mr. Zhang. If there is any need for my lord to help, you can also refer to the details."
Zhang Liang glanced at Xiang Ji and saw that his expression remained unchanged and he stopped talking nonsense. He said, "To be honest, I am here on behalf of my lord Liu Bang to sign an anti-Qin alliance between the two parties."
Liu Bang, Xiang Ji and Fan Zeng looked at each other with doubts in their eyes, indicating that they did not know each other.
Fan Zeng coughed slightly and asked, "I wonder who this Liu Bang mentioned by Mr. Zhang is?"
Zhang Liang looked calm and said: "My lord Liu Bang is an out-and-out righteous man who fought against Qin. After Chen She's unfortunate defeat, my lord rose up to fight against Qin. He received support from countless righteous men and people, and has grown stronger several times. Now,
He has tens of thousands of elite soldiers and thousands of good generals under his command."
"A few days ago, Qin General Li Xin led his army to attack Zhao, and the Zhao State was almost defeated. My Lord, understanding the righteousness, extended a helping hand and joined forces with Qi State to repel Qin General Li Xin and relieve Zhao State's danger."
"What kind of alliance law?" Fan Zeng asked directly.
As for Liu Bang's strength, Fan Zeng couldn't figure it out for a while, and it was impossible for him to believe Zhang Liang just because of his casual words.
Zhang Liang said boldly: "Form an offensive and defensive alliance, watch and help each other, and jointly attack Qin."
Fan Zeng shook his head and said: "No, such an alliance is like a piece of loose sand and is not advisable."
"Oh, what do you think, Master Fan?" Zhang Liang asked.
Fan Zeng said without hesitation: "According to what I see below, when an alliance leader is elected, the alliance leader will coordinate and jointly attack Qin. Only in this way can the strength of the alliance be maximized."
"I believe that it is not just you and me who need to unite. Qi, Zhao, Han, and Wei Yan are all those who need to unite."
Zhang Liang nodded in approval: "What Master Fan said is absolutely true. He is truly a military master. I will definitely explain the interests to my lord and facilitate this matter."
Huh? You agreed so easily? Fan Zeng became a little surprised and confused. Zhang Liang agreed too quickly. Could he have some other plans?
After thinking for a while, Fan Zeng said: "From what I see, the position of leader of the alliance must belong to my lord. After all, he is the only one in the anti-Qin alliance who is a strong master, and only he can stop the champion of the Great Qin."
Zhang Liang responded readily: "That's natural. If it were anyone else, it would be difficult to convince the public, wouldn't it?"
Fan Zeng no longer cared about Zhang Liang's plans and took advantage of the situation and said: "I wonder when your army will be here to wait for dispatch?"
Zhang Liang hesitated for a moment: "I can't make the final decision on this matter. I need my lord's nod. But please rest assured, Master Fan. I will try my best to facilitate this matter."
Fan Zeng asked with ill intentions: "Isn't it possible that your master won't approve of it when the time comes? How about Mr. Zhang leaving a token?"
Zhang Liang ignored him, but said to Xiang Ji: "Wu Xinjun should know how strong my and uncle Jun's intention is to fight against Qin and restore the country."
Xiang Ji thought for a while, nodded slightly and said, "I believe in you."
Then Xiang Ji turned to Fan Zeng and said, "Don't be suspicious. If I don't take action, they will definitely not be able to stop Lin Ze. They will be destroyed sooner or later, so I am not worried that they will not agree."
Fan Zeng saw that his master was speaking openly, so he said no more.
Zhang Liang bowed slightly and said, "Thank you for your trust, Mr. Wu Xin. Now that the matter has been settled, I will leave first and explain the matter to my lord. Please rest assured that there will be a reply by tomorrow at the latest."
Xiang Ji tried to persuade him and said, "Mr. Zhang has come all the way. I want to host a banquet to entertain you. Why should you be in such a hurry?"
Zhang Liang bowed slightly again and said: "I am deeply grateful to Lord Wu Xin for your kindness. However, overthrowing the Tyrant Qin is my life-long goal. I really dare not delay at all. I ask for your forgiveness, Lord Wu Xin."
Seeing this, Xiang Ji no longer forced him to stay: "In that case, I will send Mr. Zhang out of the camp."
Zhang Liang did not refuse, but accepted it happily and said: "Mr. Wu Xin values love and justice, how dare I not accept it?"
Then, Xiang Ji personally sent Zhang Liang out of the camp and watched him ride away.
Looking at Zhang Liang's leaving figure and Xiang Ji's slightly reluctant expression, Fan Zeng couldn't help but remind him: "Mr. Zhang must have other plans when he comes here this time. Please be careful, my lord."
Xiang Ji glanced at Fan Zeng with slight dissatisfaction: "Not everyone has bad intentions. Zhang Liang and my uncle plotted to destroy Qin in the past. This was my personal experience. How can it be false?"
