At the Hongmen Banquet.

Xiang Yu was tense and liked to go straight, the King of Chu was born with disgust for conspiracy. This time, although Liu Bang made him very unhappy, he thought of the friendship he had worked with his uncle Xiang Liang in the past, and decided to give Liu Bang an explanation in front of all the princes.

Fan Zeng was very disappointed about Xiang Yu's "gentleman" style that cherishes his reputation, his father Fan Zeng repeatedly advised him, but he refused to accept it.

Xiang Yu, after all, was just a person with a temperament who was overwhelmed by force.

He had a smooth journey, but was still a young man who had not fully grown into a man.

Sunset in the west.

A small army under the banner of the Chu army came to the coalition garrison in Hongmen under the expectation of a group of coalition princes. Liu Bang, the commander of the Western Expedition Army of Chu, finally arrived.

When the princes meet, the overlords ask for orders, no one dares to refuse to obey.

However, Liu Bang came late, which made Xiang Yu, who was originally planning to give Liu Bang a warning, look even more unkind.

"Overlord, Qin Gou is crazy. After our army occupied Xianyang, we chased Qin Gou Li Yuan's troops all the way, but we didn't want to be attacked by enemy fire in Chencang. The 30,000 troops were wiped out. If this revenge is not a gentleman." As soon as Liu Bang entered the tent, he would not wait for everyone to ask questions, and then he stamped his feet and beat his chest at the princes such as Xiang Yu, Zhang Er, Wei Bao.

"Pei Gong, what are you saying? Qin Gou still has the strength to counterattack. How do you say this?" Xiang Yu's expression changed. Liu Bang, Zhang Liang and other generals in front of him were all defeated and looked in a mess. He could not pretend to be fake.

Zhang Er and others also looked at each other in the tent. If it was true as Liu Bang said, then there was still a Qin army in Guanzhong and its strength was not weak. Who was this? After Zhang Han's main force of Qin and Wang Li's border army were destroyed, which army in Qin could withstand the thunder attack of the anti-Qin princes.

"The Overlord is the little thief Li Yuan. To put it in detail, you and I have both dealt with each other. In the Battle of Yongcheng, the thief Li escaped from you and me." Liu Bang said hatefully, a hint of pride flashed in his eyes. Finally, he successfully led Xiang Yu and others to the topic of occupying Xianyang first, so the next thing would be easier.

"Li Yuan, is it the Li Yuan who secretly occupied Xingyang?" Wei Bao exclaimed. Under Xingyang City, the Wei army suffered heavy casualties, and generals Wu Pu and others were killed in battle, and there were no ten of them in the entire army. In actual situation, Wei Bao still knew that it was not Li Yuan who really embezzled the Wei army, but Liu Bang who was standing in front of him at this time.

"It was this agent. Two months ago, Li thieves took the banner of Qing dynasty and marched into Xianyang from Sanchuan County, killed Hu Hai, Zhao Gao and others, and then fled to Yongqi area with a large amount of money, grain and fodder. After hearing the news, they immediately took Qi Ji and Wang Ling as the pioneers to attack Qin, but they did not expect that in the Chencang area, Li thieves were tricked, and all the vanguards were all Mo, and Qi Ji and other generals were killed in this battle. Now, Li thieves are in great power and are gradually taking counterattacks. Our strength is not good, so we also ask the overlord soldiers to enter Xianyang and attack Li thieves."

Liu Bang was very eloquent, and while talking, he cried and shivered. At this time, he could no longer see the appearance of the Marquis of Wu'an who ruled the 100,000 troops. He was a pitiful old man who had been bullied.

Liu Bang has a special talent in acting.

In this regard, neither Xiang Yu nor Li Yuan were much better than Liu Bang.

Liu Bang's words were about to come down, and all the princes looked at each other. He had already determined that Qin had no resistance, but this time he just robbed him and gained some benefits as he entered Guanzhong. However, he did not expect that the Qin people had an elite army stationed in Guanzhong, and even Liu Bang was defeated.

"Li thief, I should attack Pei Gong." Xiang Yu said furiously. As the leader of the coalition commander, his strong sense of mission made Xiang Yu want to kill all the Qin troops blocking the way.

In his opinion, the main force of the Qin army led by Zhang Han had been destroyed, and the Qin army had no strength to resist the attacks of various princes. It would be no good to have a Li Yuan. The key point is that Liu Bang's army was too incompetent. If it were replaced by the Chu army, Li Yuan would have been destroyed long ago.

"Pei Gong, Li Zhe is really so rampant. In the past, he was in Yongqiu, and this lieutenant was just a small army marquis. Could it be that he could soar into the sky and expand his strength? If Li Zhe really had the strength, he would never abandon Xianyang and flee west. If Pei Gong had leisure, he would better talk about his days in Xianyang." Fan Zeng smiled coldly and asked.

Liu Bang's words could be hidden from others and deceived Xiang Yu, but he could not convince Fan Zeng. What's more, he had already discovered that under the guidance of Liu Bang, the direction of the banquet began to develop in the direction of questioning who Li Yuan was. This was not the original intention of Xiang Yu to hold a banquet at Hongmen.

"The Overlord Mingjian, since he led his troops to fight west, he has many dangerous passes and he has fought alone for several days. The danger is insignificant. When the soldiers crossed the plank road that day, they heard that the Qin thieves were trying to flee west. In a hurry, Fang Shi's army entered Xianyang. As for the plundering, it was actually caused by the lack of strict constraints. I also asked the Overlord to punish him." Liu Bang looked solemn and said loudly loudly.

Speaking of this, Liu Bang, who was nearly fifty years old, had a faint redness and swelling of his eyes. He remembered Fan Kuai, who died in the battlefield, Fu Kuan and other followers, the difficulty of sleeping in the open, and the wife and children who stayed in their hometown Pei County without knowing their life and death.

"Please punish the overlord!" Liu Bang's command, Cao Shen, Zhou Bo and several other members who followed him knelt on the ground and bowed to Xiang Yu.

"Go up quickly, generals!" Xiang Yu felt soft. Although he was so majestic on the battlefield, he could not see anyone who was also brave generals bowing his head.

Cao Shen and Zhou Bo are all brave generals. Xiang Yu also praised their ability to lead troops and fight, and even vaguely believed that the generals under his command, such as Long Jue, Zhonglimei, Xiang Zhuang, etc. were not as capable as Cao Zhou.

Under Liu Bang's bitter plan, Xiang Yu's anger disappeared.

Liu Bang stood up and quickly sent Zhang Liang to give Xiang Yu fifteen pairs of jade walls and twenty pairs of jade buckets. In addition, he gave Yafu Fan a trick and a pair of jade dragons. As for the other princes, his companions had their own followers to contact the people around him and gave him a gift. For a moment, all the princes looked happy.

Disrupt money and avoid disasters.

This is a good way to eliminate hidden dangers.

Liu Bang was really spending some money to escape this time. Of course, these things were plundered by General Liu Jun from Xianyang and taken away by Li Yuan, but were only things from the palace, the national treasury and the treasury. For example, in Ying Ziying and others' mansions, Li Yuan did not forcefully search, nor did he need to tear his face.

The things left in Xianyang were cheaper than Liu Bang, and finally fell into the hands of various princes such as Xiang Yu.

After three rounds of drinking, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang and his princes all had flushed faces. Although Xiang Yu looked extremely brave, he had a very shallow alcohol tolerance. After more than ten cauldrons, Xiang Yu was already a little shaking. Liu Bang actually had the best alcohol tolerance, but at this time, he pretended to be drunk and lay on the table without moving.

Among the strategists, Ya's father Fan Zeng looked at him coldly, and he was so angry that he could not speak. On the other side, Liu Bang's chief strategist Zhang Liang was calm and kept drinking and talking to the princes.

In the first round of the Hongmen Banquet, Fan Zeng was completely defeated, Zhang Liang's bitter plan and financial plan successfully resolved a crisis for Liu Bang.
