Competing

Chapter 129

Tonight is destined to be restless.

There were leftovers in the lobby of Peigong's mansion, the wine glasses were still tilted, and a few alcoholics were already drunk and unconscious.

Liu Bang was standing at the gate, Han Wangcheng's car had just left, and then he returned sadly, and was about to meet Zhang Liang who was rushing in the courtyard.The two stopped the forced laughter on their faces, and both looked tired and depressed.Especially Liu Bang, the Duke of Pei, was extremely disappointed when he learned of Han Wangcheng's intentions, and suddenly seemed to have aged several years.

The reason is simple. Han Wangcheng was "provoked" by Yin Xu on the road, and the corporal Lixian came to invite Zhang Liang to return to Korea together.Liu Bang is so depressing, but Zhang Liang is originally a Korean subject, and the noble king of Han came to ask for someone in person, can he not let him go?How dare Zhang Liang disobey his orders?

Zhang Liangdao: "Don't worry about Peigong, it's no wonder that there will be such a day sooner or later, Liang Zu will be in Han Lei Shiqing, and it will be his duty to assist King Han. It stands to reason that Zhang Liang should have He took the initiative to take effect, but Peigong knew that he was very kind, so he waited wholeheartedly and stayed for a few more months. Since the king of Han has come to the door today, this matter can no longer be delayed."

Liu Bangchang sighed: "Oh, if you can stay longer, everything will go smoothly." He also knew that this matter was inevitable. For several months, he had avoided letting Zhang Liang meet King Han. There may be a lot of major and temporary variables, so Zhang Liang is allowed to accompany him.How could he have thought that he would be targeted just this once, and he didn't know that he had deliberately fallen into the eyes of those who wanted to, General Yin's heart had been kept for a long time, and it was very face-saving to put it into practice today.

Zhang Liang smiled lightly: "Isn't there still one more night? There are still many things to plan!"

When Han Wangcheng came to visit, Liu Bang and Zhang Liang knew that they couldn't escape, so they readily agreed.However, a slight delay is also possible. First, a banquet was arranged, which was not only a welcome banquet for King Han, but also a farewell banquet for Zhang Liang, and entertained King Han with delicious food and drinks.After that Mr. Ovary rarely got drunk at the banquet.

Liu Bang took the opportunity to highlight Zhang Liang's rest for one night, and reported to King Han the next day.Han Wangcheng didn't understand why, anyway, Zhang Liang had already agreed, and one day at night didn't matter.At any rate, he was a master and a servant, and he also gave people a chance to talk to each other, so he readily agreed.Mr. Zifang naturally pretended to be drunk, in order to stay one more night and make plans for Liu Peigong.Although Liu Bang was reluctant, he had no choice but to accept the reality.

Zhang Liang said: "Let's talk about the capture of Guanzhong first, Mr. Pei, it's not easy to fight this time. Let's talk about whether we can cope with the resistance of the many cities and checkpoints on the way. The most important thing is that we must pay attention to the giants at any time." The behavior of the deer, if you can't advance in this pass, don't enter it!"

Liu Bang was very helpless, he was just right to get some benefits, but he didn't expect to be put together by Xiong Xin, a brat, and ended up in an embarrassing situation.However, the facts are already so, for the sake of the overall situation and the future, even if the huge temptation is in front of us, we have to give up.

Zhang Liang said again: "If it is really captured, accept it calmly! In fact, it is not completely without benefits at this time. I think about it carefully, and the benefits of the previous plan will not be less. Moreover, King Huai's covenant in public, even in the future Song Yi and Xiang Yu were filled with resentment, and it didn’t matter if they didn’t admit it or opposed it. Either Peigong, you got the Guanzhong fiefdom, or if you don’t get the land, you can occupy Dayi, get the world’s recognition and the sympathy of the people. There is also a foundation for future plans. It’s just that before that, you have to face tremendous pressure, and the road will be difficult.”

Liu Bang nodded lightly. He knew that Zhang Liang must have thought it over carefully. This was indeed the case, so he had to do so.

Zhang Liang looked at the slowly night sky, and sighed: "Actually, the victory of this battle is still in Julu, it depends on Xiang Yu!"

Liu Bang showed a slight look of astonishment, and said suspiciously: "You mean Xiang Yu...Song Yi..." Liu Peigong made a beheading motion without saying clearly.

Mr. Zifang nodded, and said in a deep voice: "According to Song Yi's nature, he will probably be timid and miss the opportunity to fight. Even if he reaches the front line, can he win with his ability? It would be flattering him not to annihilate the entire army immediately. Want to To defeat Zhang Han and Wang Li, the only one who has this ability is Xiang Yu, but we have to see if he has the courage first."

Liu Bang understood and knew that Zhang Liang was referring to killing Song Yi and seizing military power.

Zhang Liang continued: "Only in this way, with Xiang Yu's incomparable bravery and courage, Fan Zeng's lofty strategic strategy, supplemented by many first-class generals such as Yin Xu, Ying Bu, Long Qi, Xiang Zhuang, etc. There is a chance of victory.”

Speaking of this, Mr. Zifang paused, and said earnestly: "Pei Gong, you must pay attention to the situation of the Julu battle at all times. In comparison, Song Yi is too far behind, Xiang Yu himself is very capable, and there is a group of soldiers around him." Counselors and generals are even more difficult to deal with. Therefore, Pei Gong must be cautious about entering Guanzhong first!"

Liu Bang sighed: "I remember what you said, sir. It would be great if you could stay. I don't know when we will see you again tomorrow." The counselor is about to leave him, and Liu Bang feels too much reluctance and melancholy.

Zhang Liang was also in a complicated mood, and comforted him: "Pei Gong, don't be sad, we will meet again when we have a chance, I will arrange the affairs of Korea, and try to get to Guanzhong as early as possible to help Pei Gong."

Liu Bang was overjoyed when he heard that, and couldn't help being elated. It would be great if he could come back, but what he was afraid of was that he would never come back.

At this time, Xia Houying came to report: "Pei Gong, Mr. Zifang, after receiving the news that the court meeting was over, the king of Han had met Yin Xu, Marquis of Shaoxing when he returned. The king of Han also invited Yin Xu to open the car, and the two talked for a long time. After parting, Han The king came to visit directly." The subtext couldn't be more obvious, and everyone in Liu's residence knew that it wasn't accidental, it was calculated.

"You mean that Yin Xu' instigated" King Han?" Liu Bang asked, "Oh, no, he reminded King Han to come here? "

Xia Houying replied: "It's possible, it's a coincidence after all."

Zhang Liang smiled and said: "It's not possible, it's just like General Yin's usual style. It seems that General Yin pretended to be drunk that night, but I didn't expect him to hold a grudge, heh!" The matter was verified at this time, Zhang Zifang was smiling, but the smile was a bit bitter, and Liu Bang's face was even more ugly.

Xia Houying was puzzled and said, "What exactly does Yin Xu like about Xiang Yu? After leaving for a few days, he came back today to speak for Xiang Yu at the court meeting. It seems that the cooperation is very tacit, which is very puzzling!"

Zhang Liang shook his head and said: "Otherwise, it seems that he and Xiang Yu have a tacit cooperation, but what he thinks inside is unknown to outsiders, and the appearance is also unknown. We have underestimated General Yin, his ambition is not small!"

Xia Houying was puzzled and said, "Mr. Zifang, what do you mean?"

Zhang Liang explained: "Not long ago, Yin Xu must have been unhappy with Xiang Yu's refutation of his face. If not, why did he go to Shangcai? When he came back today, he strongly supported Xiang Yu. There are only two possibilities. First, Yin Xu Xu has a large capacity, so he doesn't care about it, and accepts Xiang Yu's apology frankly. Second, General Yin has other ideas in consideration of the overall situation, which one is more likely?"

Liu Bangdao: "It must be the second type. Don't forget that when he first met you and me, he showed extraordinary abilities. So many things before and after, it can be seen that this person is not simple, and he has great ambitions hidden in his heart." It is also possible not to reveal it. We underestimated him, and what happened last time was too hasty."

Mr. Zifang said: "Since this is the case, it's better to make fewer enemies now, let's do it beforehand! Whether it's an enemy or a friend will be made clear later. Pei Gong can just act according to the previous plan, and Zhang Liang is leaving!"
