Han Dang is stronger

Chapter 475 The Affair of Liu Bang in Pengcheng
Following Xiang Yu's wars in the north and south for many years, and gaining Xiang Yu's trust and love, he has been responsible for the management of food, grass and military supplies with the most abundant oil and water for a long time. I have never seen such a precious pearl, its diameter is absolutely one inch, pure white and flawless, after Xiang Kang casually opened the wooden box containing this pearl, the moonlight-like glow of the pearl also reflected Xiang Kang's ugly face in every detail .

"Brother, my little brother's kindness, although the things in the palace of Qin Emperor Huhai are not as famous as the Suihou Zhu, which is as famous as Heshibi, but they are not much different. I know you like these things, so I specially selected them for you. Yes, so don't refuse. There is also this, my younger brother, I honor Uncle Ji, please take it back with you."

Talking very casually, Xiang Kang opened another wooden box casually, revealing a green and crystal jade ring with hooked cloud patterns, and said: "The things in King Zhao's palace in the past fell into the hands of Emperor Baoqin after he destroyed Zhao. Here, I originally wanted to have the opportunity to return it to Zhao Xie, but I thought that instead of taking advantage of outsiders, I should take this opportunity to honor Uncle Ji."

Xiang You's halazi almost didn't come out, so he hurriedly declined in a hypocritical manner, but Xiang Kang insisted on letting Xiang You take it away. He also made it clear that this was what Xiang You and Master Xiang deserved, and hinted that there would be more in the future. Only then did Xiang You accept the even richer reward with gratitude, and held it in his hands impatiently.

Of course, the matter is not over yet. After personally handing over the two priceless treasures to Xiang You, Xiang Kang asked again: "Brother, I need to ask you and Uncle Ji to help me with something. Send envoys to contact our elder brother, ask for the resumption of peace talks, and ask elder brother to send enough important ministers of Western Chu to negotiate face to face with my younger brother. At that time, I will also ask Uncle Ji and elder brother to help you. Advise Brother Xiang Yu to let Father Ya come forward to negotiate with the younger brother."

"Let Father Ya come to negotiate with you?" Xiang You was very puzzled, and asked curiously, "Why did you ask Father Ya to negotiate with you by name?"

"The envoy I sent will not call Yafu by name directly." Xiang Kang shook his head and said, "My envoy will only ask brother Xiang Yu to send enough important ministers of Western Chu to negotiate. Uncle, please help me, you must let Yafu come to negotiate with me on behalf of brother Xiang Yu. As for the reason, it is not convenient for me to explain now, brother, you will know in the future."

Knowing that this matter must be extraordinary, Xiang You of course patted his chest and promised that he would try his best to do this for Xiang Kang. Xiang Kang was overjoyed after hearing this, and hurriedly thanked Xiang You again, and then lowered his status and personally sent Xiang You out. He left the camp of the Han army and asked Xiang You to return to the camp of the Western Chu army in the darkness before dawn, and report to Master Xiang Bo, who had risked stealing Uncle Zhou's letter and gave it to him.

Needless to say, after sneaking back to the Western Chu army camp, Xiang You of course rushed to the Western Chu army's central army tent immediately, and reported to the eagerly awaited Xiang Yu and Fan Laotou that he had come forward to surrender. Afterwards, besides truthfully explaining the detailed process after meeting Xiang Kang, he also took the initiative to hand over the generous gift Xiang Kang gave to himself and Xiang Bo, and let Xiang Yu decide how to deal with it.

Fortunately, although Xiang Yu is notoriously stingy with rewards, he has always been generous to the members of the Xiang family. Although he was somewhat jealous, he still pretended to be chic and rewarded Xiang Bo with the Pearl of Qin Palace and the jade ring of Zhao Palace. And Xiang You and his son as a reward.At the same time, Xiang Yu was of course also very surprised that Xiang Kang asked old man Fan to negotiate with him face to face, and asked suspiciously: "What kind of tricks is this traitor Xiang Kang playing? Why did he call Yafu to negotiate with him?"

"Of course that traitor has no good intentions."

Old man Fan snorted coldly. Although he couldn't guess the real reason why Xiang Kang asked him to negotiate with him face to face, he immediately understood that Xiang Kang's doing so must have bad intentions.Then, after a little calculation, old man Fan said to Xiang Yu again: "My lord, we have done what we should do, and then we will see if Xiang Kang's traitor will really fall into the trap, and whether we can instigate Uncle Zhou." We succeeded. Next, we have to hold our breath, and we can't rush to let the traitor Xiang Kang see the flaw, we can only wait for the news from Qidi and then play it by ear."

"What should I do if the traitor sent someone to ask for a negotiation?" Xiang Yu asked, "To talk or not to talk? Would you like to work hard, Father Ya, to go to the camp of the traitor yourself?"

"Of course we can't talk about it." Old man Fan said without even thinking about it: "We only have to bluff and deliberately categorically refuse to reopen negotiations with the traitors, so that traitor Xiang Kang will think that we have nothing to fear, and will be even more suspicious of that bastard Uncle Zhou. If he is ready to become king in Qi, then as long as he takes action against Zhou Shupifu, we will have greater hope that he will really turn against Zhou Shupifu and completely reverse the situation in the world."

When Xiang Yu nodded slowly, Kuai Che also said: "We must immediately find a way to let Uncle Zhou know about the fact that the traitor Xiang Kang gave Zhujishi a secret order. Even if you don’t want to rebel, you will definitely waver.”

Xiang Yu hurriedly nodded again, and Master Xiang Bo, who was next to him, hurriedly interjected, "This matter must be done in secret, and other thieves must not know, otherwise, apart from possibly ruining our event, the old man and You'er pretended to surrender." The matter will be found out by the traitor Xiang Kang immediately, although the old man and You'er are not afraid of this, but in the future we will have no way to do such a thing for the king."

"Are you afraid that the traitor Xiang Kang will hate you if he finds out, and won't keep his promise to make you Marquis of He Yong?"

Old Man Fan and Kuai Che snorted coldly in their hearts, but they were too lazy to point out Master Xiang's real intentions. Xiang Yu didn't have such a plan. Apart from nodding his head in agreement, he also quickly accepted another request from Master Xiang—— When the envoy came to ask for the resumption of negotiations, he allowed Master Xiang to pretend to persuade him to accept, and he also persuaded himself to send Old Man Fan as an envoy to the Han army camp to negotiate with Xiang Kang face to face.

Xiang Kang is also a straightforward person. Just the next morning, Xiang Kang sent an envoy to visit Xiang Yu in the camp. He took the initiative to ask for a reopening with the Western Chu Army under the pretext of not wanting to continue the fratricide. The peace talks also stated that as long as Xiang Yu agreed to hand over Liu Laosan, the culprit of the Hangu Pass incident, and his accomplices to the Han army, the land city and Xiang Yu's abdication could be discussed. Junguoying negotiated with Xiang Kang personally to prove the sincerity of the Western Chu Army in the peace talks.

As agreed before, during this period, Master Xiang Bo also tried his best to persuade Xiang Yu to accept the negotiation. He also suggested that Xiang Yu send Old Man Fan, the No. During the protracted Chu-Han War, Xiang Yu kept in mind the advice of old man Fan and Kuai Che, deliberately bluffed and flatly refused, and put on a confident look of confidence.In the end, Master Xiang Boxiang persuaded Master Xiang anxiously, and Xiang Yu scolded Master Xiang for the first time in public, which forced Master Xiang Boxiang to shut up helplessly, and then ordered the envoys of the Han army to be driven out of the Western Chu army camp.

It was only after the envoys of the Han army were kicked out of the camp that Xiang Yu sat down with Fan Laotou and others to discuss Xiang Kang's intentions for this move. As for Xiang Kang's initiative to reopen negotiations, the two advisers, Fan Laotou and Kuai Che, had nothing to say. Not surprising, knowing that Xiang Kang was looking for an excuse to test the reality of the Western Chu Army, and judging the authenticity of Uncle Zhou's letter based on Xiang Yu's reaction, but regarding the fact that Xiang Kang secretly asked Master Xiang to urge Old Man Fan to go to the Han camp, Old Man Fan and Kuai Che couldn't guess the reason at all.

Both old man Fan and Kuai Che couldn't figure out this question, and Master Xiang Bo, whose IQ was far inferior to theirs, was even more puzzled. But after Xiang Yu, old man Fan and others decided to ignore this problem, they started to help Xiang Yu as an agent of military affairs again. At that time, Master Xiang Bo, who was reused by Xiang Yu and who was in charge of supervising the civil and military affairs of the Western Chu Army, suddenly thought of a possibility, and secretly said: "Isn't it like this? That little traitor Xiang Kang asked the old man Fan Zeng to negotiate with him face to face. Could it be that you want to pry the old man's mouth open and take the opportunity to learn the truth from him?"

He judged others by himself, and considering that old man Fan was the first young commander who went to Pengcheng to join him, and he had a relationship with Xiang Kang for a period of time, and he helped Xiang Kang to embarrass himself more than once when he was under Xiang Liang's tent. Of course, Master Xiang didn't dare to take it lightly, and quickly used his power to send more people to secretly strengthen the surveillance of Old Man Fan...

Facts have proved that Master Xiang is definitely not worrying unfoundedly. Just arrived at the afternoon of the second day when Xiang Yu refused to reopen the negotiation, the eyeliner he sent to spy on Old Man Fan rushed to report, saying that there was a man dressed as a commoner who claimed to know Fan The old man's former friend ran to the gate of the Western Chu Army's camp and asked to see Old Man Fan.After hearing the report, Master Xiang didn't dare to be negligent, but after a little calculation, he hurried over to Old Man Fan's camp to check the situation.

It was also a coincidence that when Master Xiang rushed to the door of Old Man Fan's tent, he ran into Old Man Fan's guards kicking and beating a man dressed as a commoner out of the tent. Shuxin strode out of the camp. Master Xiang was surprised when he saw it, so of course he hurried up to meet him and asked, "Yafu, what happened? Who is this person? Why are you doing this to him?"

"I've been tricked by this old man!" Old man Fan replied very directly, and said with a livid face: "I was accidentally fooled to meet the messenger sent by the traitor Xiang Kang and read the letter from the traitor Xiang Kang that he brought. Suddenly it's hard for me to say clearly!"

"He is the messenger of Xiang Kang's traitor?" Master Xiang pointed at the man dressed as a commoner in feigned surprise, and asked quickly, "Yafu, what did the letter of Xiang Kang's traitor say?"

Knowing that Xiang Yu would definitely let Uncle Xiang read Xiang Kang's letter, old man Fan didn't hesitate, and immediately handed the letter to Master Xiang. There is Xiang Kang's seal of the King of Han, and the content is that Xiang Kang is close to Old Fan. He used the relationship that Old Fan had defected to Xiang Kang before, and tried his best to persuade Old Man Fan to defect from the Western Chu Army, which was already at sunset, and enjoy the benefits under Xiang Kang's command. Prosperity and wealth, renewing the relationship between the monarch and his ministers.

The most important thing is at the end of the letter. At the end of the letter, Xiang Kang not only directly asked Old Man Fan to explain the authenticity of Uncle Zhou's letter, but also casually mentioned the matter of Liu Bang in Pengcheng, and also talked about Liu Bang in Pengcheng. I would like to express my solemn thanks to Old Man Fan for the matter, and said that I will definitely repay Old Man Fan heavily in the future.

It was a matter of course. After reading Xiang Kang's letter carefully, Master Xiang asked very strangely: "Yafu, can I ask you, what is the matter of Liu Bang in Pengcheng mentioned by Xiang Kang's traitor?"

"How does this old man know?" Old man Fan's temper was not very good in the first place, and now he was extremely enraged, of course, old man Fan roared like thunder, "Could it be that you, Master Xiang, can't see such a simple divorce plan? The traitor Xiang Kang played tricks and fabricated a story about Liu Bang in Pengcheng, making it clear that he wants our king to be suspicious, suspect that the old man has done something wrong to him, and make the king suspicious of the old man!"

"Also!" Old man Fan is really powerful, he quickly guessed another fact, pointed at Master Xiang Boxiang and shouted: "Why did you come so quickly and so coincidentally? Did you secretly send someone to keep an eye on the old man, so The traitor Xiang Kang just sent someone to contact the old man, and you knew immediately?"

"Ya Fu's words are too much." Master Xiang quickly denied it, and said, "Even if I have the courage, I dare not send someone to spy on you."

"Don't come here, I know who you are, Master Xiang Bo Xiang, better than anyone else!"

Old man Fan roared loudly, and rushed towards Xiang Yu's tent of the Chinese army commander. Old man Fan suddenly came to his senses and roared, "Understood! This matter was a trap arranged for the old man from the very beginning! First, I deliberately called names. Tell the old man to go to the camp of traitors to negotiate face-to-face with his Xiangkang traitor. If the old man falls for the trick, he can’t tell with a hundred mouths! Let the old man grow up with a hundred mouths and can't speak clearly! Traitor Xiang Kang, you have such a vicious heart!"

Not only old man Fan saw through Xiang Kang's vicious intentions, but so did Kuai Che. When the secret envoy of the Han army was taken to the central tent of the Western Chu Army, Kuai Che, who came over after hearing the news, had just learned what had happened. Kuai Che immediately bowed his hands to Xiang Yu and said, "Your Majesty, this is a plot by Xiang Kang's traitor. He has already seen through our plot of divorce. He deliberately did not expose it to take advantage of this opportunity." Frame Yafu, alienate the relationship between the monarch and ministers of our Western Chu army, make you and Yafu suspicious of each other, and facilitate his next move."

If it weren't for Xiang Yu's trust in Old Man Fan, then needless to say, Old Man Fan would definitely follow in the footsteps of countless colleagues and become another important minister of the Western Chu Army who was framed to death by Xiang Kang. Thanks to Xiang Yu's current trust in Old Man Fan, Xiang Yu finally Still accepted the explanations of old man Fan and Kuai Che, chose to execute the messenger of the Han army, and also stated that he absolutely trusted old man Fan, so that old man Fan didn't have to take this matter to heart.

Having said that, just seeing the forced smile on Xiang Yu's face, old man Fan and Kuai Che knew that this matter would never end, and they had to lament in their hearts: "With the vicious methods of Xiang Kang's traitor, this matter will definitely happen." There is still a follow-up, whether you can resolve Xiang Kang's traitor's last move, you can only resign yourself to luck."

After sighing helplessly, Kuai Che suddenly felt chills in his heart, and secretly said: "Yafu is so loyal to the king, the traitor Xiang Kang can still think of ways to make the king suspicious of him at any cost. If that day the traitor Xiang Kang You also see that I am not pleasing to the eye, and pointed the finger at me, so I have to die without a place to die?"
