After three rounds of drinking.

Xiang Bo was already drunk and his eyes were blurry. Ever since he lost power, the snobbish officials of Chu State have never taken Xiang Bo seriously, and their usual filial piety has also been reduced to him. Along the way, Ding Gong's enthusiasm

This was in sharp contrast to the indifference of other local officials, which made Xiang Boden feel warm and cold.

"Uncle, a few days ago, Zhang Zifang of Yingchuan happened to be passing by. When he mentioned the past with my uncle, he couldn't help but hiss. Brother Zifang also said that he had neglected his uncle a few days ago and he wanted to express his humility to his face." Ding Gong didn't seem to care.

said.

"If the ovary wants to come, then come. However, the King of Han is getting worse and worse as he gets worse. He doesn't even give him his usual salary. He is really stingy." Xiang Bo sighed and said with some regret.

In the past, I could get extra money from Liu Bang every once in a while, but after he gradually lost power, Zhang Liang also disappeared for a while. This made Xiang Bo, who had always been greedy for money, suddenly have a tight budget.

Several outer chambers had no choice but to be transferred to others. If there was no more money, even the last one would not be saved.

"Hey, uncle, I don't know. Zifang has been highly valued by the King of Han recently. I heard that Zhang Zifang gave General Chen a lot of good things during his mission to Zhao. Some of them came from the Qin Palace.

." Ding Gong smiled mysteriously, approached Xiang Bo and said.

"Qin Palace——." Xiang Bo's eyes suddenly lit up. Liu Bang's army entered Xianyang City before the Chu army. According to the method of plucking the geese's feathers, Liu Bang definitely got more good things than Xiang Yu's Chu army.

Quite a few.

"Uncle, later tomorrow night Zifang will come to Chen County as agreed. You can rest here for one night. When Zifang comes, you and your old friends will talk about the misunderstandings in the past and resolve them. How?

?" Mr. Ding put on a show of eagerness and love for justice, and remonstrated from the bottom of his heart.

"Well, Chu and Han belong to two countries. We and Zhang Zifang are each our own masters. It's just that we have disappeared." Xiang Bo was still hesitant, but under the influence of the drunken wine, his head was getting more and more drowsy.

"What did uncle say? Since we are old friends, we must meet again." Ding Gong's voice echoed faintly in Xiang Bo's ears. This was the last word Xiang Bo heard before he fell asleep.

.

Vertical sun.

When Xiang Bo woke up from his sleep, rubbing his head, Ding Gong was already waiting at the door of the house early, beside him. There was another person looking at him with a smile.

"Uh, Zifang, why are you here?" Bo Xiang shouted in shock. Zhang Liang was also an old acquaintance of his. If it weren't for Zhang Liang's face, Bo Xiang would not have secretly accepted Liu Bang's huge sums of money.

, so much so that he did the disgraceful thing of helping Liu Bang at the Hongmen Banquet.

"Uncle, Brother Zifang just arrived in Chen County last night. As soon as he heard that you were here, he came over to meet you immediately. You are old acquaintances and can get close to each other. You might as well talk about anything. There is a misunderstanding.

Well, as long as it's untied, it doesn't matter." Mr. Ding stroked his white beard and smiled cunningly.

Zhang Liang did indeed arrive last night. The reason for such a coincidence was certainly not a pure coincidence, but Ding Gong sent his trusted aide to deliver a message to Shangcai overnight. Zhang Liang came here in a hurry.

In fact, Zhang Liang came to Chen County to explain Liu Bang's request to use the road to cross the border ten days ago. However, Ding Gong felt that Liu Bang was very unreasonable and used it when he felt that he was useless.

A person who gives away a small gift and then gives a big gift when he finds it useful is not worthy of trust.

However, the conditions Zhang Liang promised this time were really tempting. He brought a total of six small items from Xianyang. Although these jades were not large, they were all exquisitely made. It is said that the Qin army plundered them from the palaces of the Six Kingdoms.

The good things came. When Liu Bang entered Xianyang first, although the good things in the palace had been moved away by Li Yuan, there were still many objects in the homes of those ministers.

If there is a scapegoat with a profound background like Xiang Bo standing in front of him, Ding Gong feels that he will be much safer. Although Xiang Bo has a bad reputation, he cannot stand up to this man's good background and solid foundation. Although Xiang Tuo and Xiang Sheng respect Xiang Bo and stay away from him.

, but how about not giving it to him?

"Zifang, I won't get involved in this matter. If the Overlord finds out, you know his temper." After listening to Zhang Liang's words, Mr. Xiang blushed, and this time he hardened his heart.

.

"Uncle, I'll tell you the truth. Now the Qin people are very anxious to attack Yingchuan, and the King of Han has no choice. This time we just use the road to go north, and it won't hinder the overlord's interests. If my uncle doesn't help, we will die without death.

It's dead." Zhang Liang said sadly, his voice was desolate, and there were slight silver spots in his hanging hair.

"This——, it would be a big deal for the Chinese Prime Minister to know about this. And there are people like Kuai Che who heard that they agreed to the Qin State to take the head of the King of Han as a condition for peace talks." Xiang Bo was confused.

Things are different now.

Although the government of Chu State is still dominated by the Xiang family, Kuai Che, Shu Sun Tong, An Qisheng and others have united with their relative Yu Ziqi. Yu Ji's strength is also extraordinary.

It's hard to believe that Xiang Bo alone can't withstand another fierce attack from the Kuai clan.

What's more, as early as after the last Hongmen Banquet, Xiang Tuo, the leader of the Xiang clan, told Xiang Bo that if he betrayed the overlord again, he would be expelled from the Xiang clan.

"If my uncle is worried that the Prime Minister will attack, why not do this? The King of Han still has some valuable items here. I heard that they were leaked from the Chu Palace in the former capital of Ying. What do you think if they are presented to the Prime Minister?" Zhang Liang

As he spoke, he asked his entourage to open a carefully crafted baggage.

Zhang Liang's eyes were fixed on a cluster of shining jade and gold articles inside, and his reluctance to part with them was palpable. To be honest, it was not easy to keep these things in his hands. Fortunately, Zhang Liang had an opportunity early, and when he left Yingdu

It is suggested that Liu Bang bury some of the treasures he looted from Xianyang. Otherwise, dealing with greedy guys like Chen Yu, Ding Gong, and Xiang Bo would be a big problem.

"No matter this, the reason why the King of Han fell to this state was to resist the powerful Qin. My Xiang family fought against the Qin with all our strength, how can we tolerate the traitor Li who humiliated me, the heroes of Guandong, General Ding, again and again, don't you think so?"

Xiang Boy reluctantly took his eyes away from the Tibetan vessel, and his tone of conversation began to change.

If a person is not interested in wealth, he will be destroyed by heaven and earth.

Without money, life is really boring. After suffering enough of being left out, Xiang Bo no longer has any hope for an official career. His current goal in life is to live a life of fine clothes and beautiful women in his arms.

.

"Haha, my uncle has this promise. The three of us hereby agree that today's events will come out of my mouth and into your ears, and no other people will know about it." Ding Gong said with a proud smile.

Xiang Bo finally agreed.

This made Ding Gong's heart finally drop. In fact, Ding Gong already knew about Zhang Liang's request to escape through previous contacts. However, this matter did not seem to be a big problem, but

If one party in the Chu State's court investigates him, he who has no roots and no foundation and stands aside will most likely become a victim of the court battle.

Unlike Ding Gong who has no foundation, Xiang Bo has the Xiang family as his backer. Although Xiang Bo has been having a hard time recently and there are signs of being expelled by the Xiang family, no matter what, Xiang Bo has a deeper foundation than his Ding Gong.

Much more.

This is like a case of corruption and bribery. A person will always feel uneasy when accepting money. If he can win over one more person who is more capable than himself and has a rich background to join, then if the sky falls, there will still be someone taller to support him, and he will feel uneasy.

Even if I barely found a trace of comfort and sustenance.

——.

It is the tenth day of the eleventh month in the fourth year of the Qin Dynasty.

Twelve thousand Qin troops set off from Wancheng and marched along the Funiu Mountain trail toward Shangcai, Yingchuan County. This was the third time that the Qin army stationed in Sanchuan County and Nanyang County launched an attack on Yingchuan Han.

After receiving this order from Shenwu Marquis Li Yuan, the Qin army stationed in Wancheng quickly mobilized.

What was different from the previous two times was that this time the governor of the county Jiang Yu sent partial generals Zhang Ping and Chen Xi to fight together. Under the mobilization order, the two counties of Qin dispatched more than 12,000 troops.

The Han army is not what it used to be.

After several attacks and the defeat of the fleeing soldiers, Liu Bang's remaining troops now have less than 5,000 men left. To deal with such a defeated army, with the current strength of the Qin State, Li Yuan no longer needs to personally lead the troops.

, it can be carried out within the local scope of Sanchuan County and Nanyang County.

Facing the Qin army's powerful offensive, Liu Bang had no choice but to give up on Shangcai again and pulled the main force of the Han army to the border area near Chen County to rest.

Relying on the experience of the previous two times, the Qin army would choose to retreat after attacking in the air. After all, the Shangcai area was too far away from the Qin control area, and there were hundreds of miles of uninhabited Funiu Mountains in between. To occupy such a flying area

Land will only increase the burden for Qin, but will not bring much benefit.

However, this time Liu Bang miscalculated. The Qin army used Zhang Ping's army to defend Cai, and Chen Xi's troops continued to pursue the Han army. Han Wangxin commanded the Han army to fight with Chen Xi's army for more than 20 days. Both sides won each other, but overall

To put it bluntly, the Han army had reached the point where it could no longer hold its own.

The Qin army had supplies, but the Han army had no replenishment at all. With no hope in sight, batches of Han generals fled the team. At first, Han Wangxin and Liu Jia still had the intention to suppress them.

In the end, the captains of the army and generals at the level of military marquis also began to flee, and the morale of the Han army also plummeted.

The transfer is urgent.

In early December, in desperation, Liu Bang ordered to abandon the Yingchuan base and led the remaining 2,000 people into Chen County. Later, this Han army was detained by Chu General Ding Gong and handed over to the doctor who inspected Chen County.

Xiang Bo escorted Pengcheng, but when they reached the Baimajin area, a mutiny broke out unexpectedly.

King Liu Bang and other key figures of the Han Dynasty escaped and disappeared without a trace. The doctor who escorted the captives, Xiang Bo, was tied up and almost lost his life. (To be continued...)
