Chapter 61 The third round of challenge
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
"Ding……… Enter the third round of the pass to challenge. ———Hongmen Banquet, kill Liu Bang."
After getting the text message in my mind, Lao Lei suddenly became stunned.
Lao Lei may not be unfamiliar with Hongmen Banquet, but "killing Liu Bang" really made him a little stupid...
Hongmen, outside the suburbs of Xianyang, the capital of the Qin Dynasty.
In the brightly lit lobby, dozens of singers were dancing.
Under the steps, there was a beautiful and charming beauty lying down. She was wearing a light blue silk shirt, her posture was as elegant as a lotus, calm, lowered her eyebrows and raised the silver strings with her jade hands.
Her hands were plucking on the guqin, and the sound was beautiful and rhythmic, like the sound of nature. After a long time, after the playing of this song, she stood up and slowly stood up with the singers, bowing slightly.
Later, another group of heroic and beautiful figures danced into the lobby with a short sword. Compared with the beautiful music just now, the musical rhythm of the sword dance was very sonorous and powerful, winning the cheers of the generals below!
The moon moved and the stars were moving. Looking at the scene that changed suddenly, suddenly sat high above the magnificent lobby from the massacre in Xin'an. Lao Lei was so surprised that he poked there like half a piece of wood.
A magnificent courtyard with green trees became Xiang Yu's temporary commander camp.
Hundreds of thousands of troops were on the side, and at the Hongmen Banquet... Although there were bonfires everywhere, the singer danced.
But there were many soldiers in armor, sharpening their swords, shields, and swords, and a scene of murderous intent was revealed everywhere.
On the vermilion gate of the courtyard, there are two bright yellow round copper lion heads. The bright fire light on the gate makes the two copper lion heads shine like gold, showing the uniqueness of the owner everywhere.
The yard is spacious and bright, with blooming flowers and green trees that Nana doesn't recognize everywhere; white curtains are spread out on both sides of the gate.
The Chu army generals Zhong Limei, Ying Bu, Long Jue, Ji Bu, etc., sat in turn. But the seats were the closest to Lao Lei on the Shuai Case. It was an old man with a low appearance.
The old man had a thin body and a fishnet pattern on his face.
The gray hair on the top of his head seemed to be wearing a small felt hat.
While watching the singer below dance, he smiled and picked up the wine glass to drink.
Seeing his smile, his chin was raised high because there weren't a few teeth in his mouth, and his lips were deeply flabby. There was indeed a hint of funnyness.
But don’t look at the old man who is as young as his seventies, has little flesh all over his body, and is as thin as an old osprey.
But the dry-black face, the short white beard, was particularly energetic, and the pair of deep-sleeping eyes were particularly bright. Lao Lei asked himself that he had rarely seen such sharp and bright eyes. If so, it was Mengsen, the old patriarch of the alien race who had seen in the Wasteland Continent.
"If what you expected is good, this old man should be Fan Zeng."
Fan Zeng is a stubborn and calculating person. He is a strange man. Since Xiang Liang died in battle and Xiang Yu took power, Fan Zeng has been respected as "Asian Father" by Xiang Yu.
...Fan Zeng's final outcome is touching. When Xiang Yu was suspicious, Fan Zeng, a generation of strange strategist, died on the road to return home in disappointment and regret.
Liu Bang's subordinates include Xiao He, Zhang Liang, Wu and Han Xin. However, there is only one Fan Zeng who is the talent of Wang Zuo.
But Lei Zhentian still dared to say that even if he tied these people together, he could not compare to Fan Zeng.
At the end of the Qin Dynasty, when Xiang Liang died in Dingtao, Xiang Yu had just turned 25 years old, but Fan Zeng was already in his 70s. His life was rare in his seventies. He had high officials and generous salaries and precious beauties. For Fan Zeng, he had no meaning for him, so his assistance to Xiang Yu was entirely based on his almost brotherly friendship with his old friend (Xiang Liang) and his almost father-son relationship with Xiang Yu.
Therefore, Fan Zeng's identity is different from that of ordinary strategists. He is both Xiang Yu's commander and Xiang Yu's adviser.
Xiang Yu called Fan Zeng the name of Yafu, which was a recognition of this extraordinary relationship.
But it was precisely this relationship that made Fan Zeng speak in front of Xiang Yu and speak in full.
The tone and posture he spoke to Xiang Yu were often condescending and merciless.
When Xiang Yu rejected his suggestion, Fan Zeng often argued with reason and scolded loudly, which made Xiang Yu feel like a child being severely scolded by his father. The resulting rebellious mentality.
Fan Zeng is already seventy years old and often argues with Xiang Yu. If he agrees, he stays there, and if he disagrees, he leaves with anger.
Later, "exiled" Liu Bang to Bashu, which was even more Fan Zeng's decision, but he did not expect to give the other party a free granary.
It can be seen that Fan Zeng sometimes cannot see the right and wrong clearly.
Fan Zeng's original intention of assisting Xiang Yu was not only to take into account the meaning of his brotherhood with Xiang Liang, but also to rely on Xiang Yu to achieve success in his later years. It has to be said that Fan Zeng is sometimes very shallow!
But even so, Fan Zeng was still afraid of Liu Bang, the Emperor Gaozu of Han.
If Fan Zeng does not leave, Xiang Yu will not perish. It can be said that Fan Zeng is a strange man and hero among the people!
"King, Liu Bang comes to the banquet later, and I will use throwing jade as a call. At that time, you will..."
Even though Lao Lei has a good temper and understands from the bottom of his heart that Fan Zeng has a good intention, he can't help but be one head and two heads big. "Father Ya, I've recorded it. This is the sixth time you have told me about this..."
Fan Zeng raised his wine glass and drank it all in one go.
Shaking his head, he was talking to himself alone, "Oh... I hate the stinky old man and I hate the stinky old man and I hate the stingy old man and I am already seventy years old. I have a high official and a generous salary and a precious beauty. It is meaningless to me, Fan Zeng... You know, everything I do is for you, Xiang Yu."
...

When Lao Lei couldn't help but smile when he found Fan Zeng's expression of anger and his stinky and hard tone.
Fan Zeng's age, his ill-contempt personality, and his tone, is really a typical old naughty boy.
Taking advantage of the moment, Lao Lei closed his eyes and rested. Since the Hongmen Banquet is the third level with the highest difficulty, he wanted to violate history and kill King Liu Bang of Han. I'm afraid he is not as simple as he thought.
Therefore, Lei Zhentian had to seriously recall the true origin of the Hongmen Banquet...
After the Battle of Julu, Xiang Yu led a large army into the pass.
Liu Bang's troops were unable to meet Xiang Yu yet. Liu Bang's left Sima Cao Wushang sent someone to say to Xiang Yu: "Liu Bang wanted to be king in Guanzhong and let Ziying be the prime minister, and all the treasures were occupied by Liu Bang."
Xiang Yu was furious when he heard this: "Liu Bang dared to betray me Xiang Yu... to send an order to reward the soldiers tomorrow and attack Liu Bang's army stationed in Bashang!"
At this time, Xiang Yu's army was stationed in Hongmen, Xinfeng. Liu Bang's army was only stationed in Bashang.
Fan Zeng advised Xiang Yu: "Liu Bang was very greedy for money and goods as early as the east side of Wushan, and he loved beauties and lustful. But now he has entered the pass and occupied Xianyang, but he does not plunder money or be obsessed with women. This shows that his ambition is not small, but in the world. I watch his luck in the shape of dragons and tigers, and presents colorful colors. This is the luck of the emperor! Yu'er wants to attack Liu Bang quickly, and never lose the opportunity to eradicate Liu Bang in one fell swoop."
After hearing Fan Zeng's words, Xiang Yu smiled mysteriously, "Hmph, if you want to kill Liu Bang, a small mouse, why do you need to use a large army? I will only send someone to invite him to the banquet, just ask him to be killed."
Although there are many fine wine and delicacies and singing dances at the Hongmen Banquet, there are hidden murderous intent.
Xiang Yu's father Fan Zeng had always advocated killing Liu Bang. At the banquet, he repeatedly used a jade pendant to signal Xiang Yu to issue an order, but Xiang Yu was hesitant and silently refused.
When he discovered that Xiang Yu had changed his mind, Fan Zeng immediately summoned Xiang Zhuang to dance the sword, which was nominally to cheer up the banquet, but actually wanted to take the opportunity to kill Liu Bang.
Xiang Yu's uncle Xiang Bo also drew his sword to dance to protect Liu Bang.
Just when Xiang Yu was hesitating and not killing, Liu Bang's subordinate Fan Kuai broke into the military gate with his sword and shield, and glared at Xiang Yu.
Seeing this person's extraordinary temperament, Xiang Yu had to ask who the visitor was. When he learned that he was Liu Bang's attendant, he ordered him to give him wine.
Fan Kuai stood up and drank it. After Xiang Yu ordered a pig's leg, he asked if he could drink again. Fan Kuai said, "I will not avoid it if I die. What else is worth refusing to have a glass of wine? A raw meat is nothing."
Just look at Fan Kuai who swallowed pork raw, and was able to drink with a wide mouthful of face under the shadow of swords and swords. Xiang Yu was a man who respected the most. He gave Fan Kuai a chance to speak. Fan Kuai took the opportunity to say something good about Liu Bang. When Xiang Yu was speechless, Liu Bang took the opportunity to leave.
Liu Bang's subordinate Zhang Liang came in and refused to Liu Bang, saying, "Liu Bang was unable to drink and could not come to say goodbye. Now he presented a pair of white jade to the king and a pair of jade buckets to the general Fan Zeng, and asked the king to accept it."
Xiang Yu took the Baibi down and was so angry that Fan Zeng drew his sword to shatter the jade bucket.
He also scolded Xiang Yu and said, "Xiang Yu, you kid, are not worthy of my work with you. At that time, Liu Bang will definitely be the one who competes with King Xiang for the world. We will all become Liu Bang's captives!"
...
A real scene in history seems to have happened in front of Lei Zhentian's eyes.
However, unlike the records in historical books, the Hongmen Banquet here will be rewritten soon.
In order to successfully complete the third level of the mission, Lao Lei will definitely kill Liu Bang with his own hands.
