Chapter 18 Fan Zeng in the fourth quarter

Fan Zeng: (with grief and indignation, looking up to the sky and shouting) The inadequacy of Lizi and conspiracy!Insufficiency and conspiracy! !Insufficiency and conspiracy! ! ! (coughs violently, vomits blood several times) Heaven, bright moon.The ancestors of the Great Chu Kingdom, the spirit of Duke Xiang Liang in the sky, have you all seen it?You all saw it!I, Fan Zeng, am so incompetent that I can't even talk to that stupid and stubborn young man.I have received the favor of the ancestors of the Chu State in vain, I have failed the people of Jiangdong, I have not fulfilled the entrustment of Duke Xiang Liang, and I have no face to steal the rest of my life.How many times have you failed, and how many times you have failed.Seeing that the great rivers and mountains are going to be named Liu, Great Chu Kingdom, you have chosen the wrong heir!It is God's will, let me die in this surging river, I can no longer bear this deep pain!

Concubine Yu: (shouting) Yafu! Fan Zeng: (putting down his skirt, coldly) Is that you? ! Concubine Yu: (Eagerly) Yafu, hurry back with me! Fan Zeng: (laughing up to the sky) Go back?go back?The old man is going back! Fan Zeng: (grievously) Your Majesty, why did you block the old man's way to seek death?After I die, how quiet your ears are!Go back and accompany the king to make peace with Liu Bang, and you will enjoy peace forever from now on! Yu Ji: Yafu, King Xiang needs you! Fan Zeng: (sneering) The major events in the world have been decided, and the king is decisive and wise.The old man is deaf, blind and confused, why stay here to get in the way of others?The old man retreated knowing the interest, and thanked the empress for her sincere love.

Yu Ji: (affectionately) Yafu, I know you have been wronged, so Xingye came here.Yafu, you watched us grow up and treated us like your own.How could we be where we are today without your help?Your Ender is heavier than a mountain.Although King Xiang is capable of defeating ten thousand people, he has a naughty temper in his bones. The little girl is also young and naive, and she has done many stupid things.Also, Lord Yafu, I would like to apologize and bow to you on behalf of King Xiang. Fan Zeng: (shaking his head) It is easy to change the country, but it is difficult to change the nature.How many past events are vivid in my mind, and how much resentment is pent up in my chest.Three years ago, I set up a grand feast at the Hongmen, intending to kill that Liu Bang thief to avoid future troubles.But the king was kind-hearted, soft-hearted and indecisive, so he let Liu Bang escape from death.I was so angry that I chopped off a pair of jade buckets. The king pretended to be confused and didn't ask or listen.Later, I persuaded him to set his capital in Xianyang, town Guanzhong to prevent the unification of the world, who knows that his sons and daughters love heroes, short-sightedness, lack of planning and short-sightedness, burning Afang, digging the Qin Mausoleum and returning to Pengcheng, a golden opportunity that has never been seen in ancient times. The old man couldn't help stamping his feet and beating his chest!

Concubine Yu: (ashamedly) Yafu, this is the little girl's big mistake, and I am the chief culprit of the Great Chu Kingdom.It's a pity that a big mistake has resulted in a hundred deaths and no redemption—— Fan Zeng: This time the rescue of Pengcheng was a complete victory. The soldiers who chased Liu Bang to Xingyang were brave and fierce. His Majesty cut off Liu Bang's food road, and the Han army was trapped in the isolated city with hunger and cold.The thief Liu Bang actually proposed a peace negotiation between Chu and Han, and the confused king readily agreed.You don't even think about it, how many Jiangdong children have been sacrificed for this great situation?Wouldn't it be a waste of all previous efforts to make peace at this time?Let the boiled duck fly away again, how can you be worthy of the brothers who died in battle?How can I be worthy of Jiangdong's orphans and widows?How can we be worthy of the hungry and cold people behind us?The old man Ren said so much that his tongue was burning, and the king insisted on going his own way.To the descendants of the Great Chu Kingdom, I can’t bear to see the tragic ending you are facing, so let me die first, and I will lose sight of it, and my heart will be peaceful! (Fan Zeng kneels on the ground, wailing) The ancestors of the Great Chu Kingdom!Did you see it?

Concubine Yu: (Monologue) My father's words shook my heart, and I remembered the verbal confrontation with Lu's pheasant.It seems that I am really a capricious little woman who has damaged the great cause of destroying Qin and restoring Chu, and delayed King Xiang's great future.From now on, I will change my mind, take the overall situation into consideration, and sacrifice my children's feelings.Compared with his empire, my love is lighter than a feather. (Turns to Fan Zeng, kneels down) Father Ya, this time, the little girl knows her mistakes and must correct them. I would like to assist you in persuading the king to change his mind and encourage his fighting spirit. With all our strength, we will conquer the isolated city of Xingyang and make the great cause of destroying Qin and restoring Chu come soon!

Fan Zeng: (Get up in panic) Your Majesty, please get up, such a great gift, wouldn't it kill the old man! Yu Ji: Will Yafu agree to go back with me? Fan Zeng: (hesitantly) This... Yu Ji: If you don't agree, I won't be able to kneel forever. Fan Zeng: (kneeling) Your Majesty is so kind, although Fan Zeng is heartbroken, he can't repay you! Xiang Yu: (coldly) I thought it was a couple of young men and women praying to the moon to make love, but it turned out to be my wife and a white-haired old man. Concubine Yu: (Angrily) Your Majesty! Fan Zeng: My lord, the king has no jokes!

Xiang Yu: Fan Zeng, so you are still dawdling here, I thought you had returned to Jiangdong! Fan Zeng: Your Majesty, it was your empress who tried so hard to keep me here. Xiang Yu: The sky is going to rain, my mother is going to get married, if you want to go, go, why bother to stay? ! Concubine Yu: Your Majesty, I will save a whole country for you! Xiang Yu: When did you also learn this cliché, did Fan Zeng teach you? Fan Zeng: Your Majesty, the old minister dares to risk his life to remonstrate, and he must never sign a peace treaty with Liu Bang! Xiang Yu: Am I the king, or are you the king?

Fan Zeng: Majesty, honest words are good for deeds, and good medicine is good for the sick.Now Liu Bang has been trapped in the isolated city, his soldiers are exhausted and his food is exhausted, so he can wipe it out with one blow.Signing the peace treaty is undoubtedly repeating the story of Nahongmen, letting the tiger go back to the mountain, and causing endless disasters! Concubine Yu: Your Majesty, please listen to Yafu's advice, quickly dispatch troops and generals, capture Xingyang, behead Liu Bang, rule the world, and become an emperor. Xiang Yu: It's really June, women's faces can change as they say, why are you suddenly interested in this imperial career?If you want to be a queen, why elope in Xianyang city?

Concubine Yu: That's exactly the eternal mistake I made. Xiang Yu: I've had enough, I'm bored. Fan Zeng: If Liu Bang is not wiped out, how can the king be done once and for all? Xiang Yu: Liu Bang is just a rascal.This time he used 560,000 troops to capture Pengcheng, but I only used 30,000 troops to beat him, leaving his wife and son and fleeing in embarrassment.Keep him as I've got a bug. Concubine Yu: Majesty, then Liu Bang is a hero among men, and he must not be allowed to rest and recuperate. Xiang Yu: Yu, don't try to cheer for Fan Zeng, there is a conspiracy hidden here.

Fan Zeng: Majesty, the more you listen to your words, the more confused you become. Xiang Yu: (sneering) You are pretending to be foolish, but your heart is like a mirror. Concubine Yu: Your Majesty, I beg you to ask Yafu to go back.Without his assistance, we are afraid that we will die without a place to die! Xiang Yu: Yu, you have been deceived by him. Fan Zeng: (Long sigh) Hey!Your Majesty will take care of himself, the old man bids farewell! Concubine Yu: Your Majesty! Fan Zeng: Empress is kind and cherishes herself! Concubine Yu: Ya father! Xiang Yu: (Sharply) Fan Zeng! Fan Zeng: What else can your majesty order?

Xiang Yu: Up to now, you are still acting for me. Let me ask you, since when did you sell yourself and become Liu Bang's spy? Fan Zeng: The sky is above, and the loess is below. Veterans can swear. Concubine Yu: Your Majesty, Yafu is loyal, and the world shares lessons from him. Fan Zeng: Your Majesty, this great injustice is completely fabricated out of thin air. Where can the veteran start talking about it?In the past eight years since you started the army, I have planned and planned for you, and the soldiers of the Chu camp have seen it all. Your Majesty...you are not blind! Xiang Yu: (draws sword) How dare you call me blind? ! Fan Zeng: It's a matter of fame, and the veteran will fight hard with reason, and will never hesitate to die! Xiang Yu: So I wronged you! Fan Zeng: May Your Majesty tell the truth. Xiang Yu: I won’t tell you, but you won’t admit it either. Fan Zeng: Please speak, Your Majesty. Xiang Yu: The day before yesterday I sent an envoy into the Han camp.The Han officials set up a grand banquet, and the envoy was about to eat, when an official came out to question the envoy.When he learned that the envoy was sent by me, he immediately ordered to remove the delicious food and wine and replace it with a table of rough meals.He said: I thought it was the envoy of Yafu, but it turned out to be the envoy of King Xiang. You are only worthy of eating such rough things.If you and Liu Bang are selfless, how could such a strange thing happen? ! Concubine Yu: Your Majesty, this must be Liu Bang's countermeasure! Fan Zeng: (grievously and angrily) This kind of shallow trick can only fool a three-year-old child! Xiang Yu: (raged) Fan Zeng, you called me blind just now, and now you call me a child, (draws sword out of its sheath) Do you really think I dare not kill you? ! Fan Zeng: There is no hope of restoring the country, I have put life and death aside, it is my luck to die in your hands!Your Majesty please! Concubine Yu: (Standing forward) If you want to kill Yafu, please kill Concubine Yu first! Xiang Yu: (inserting the sword into its sheath resentfully) For Yu's sake, I will spare your old life, get out, and from now on, don't let me see you again! Fan Zeng: (sorrowfully) Your Majesty, you can take care of yourself! Concubine Yu rushed forward and cried out in pain: Yafu—— Xiang Yu: Get out, don't lie on the ground and pretend to be dead! Yu Ji: (Stands up, coldly) You've already pissed Yafu to death! Xiang Yu: For cheating with Liu Bang, he should have had his head chopped off and died with the whole body, so he took advantage. Concubine Yu: Your Majesty, you really disappoint me! Xiang Yu: Yu, where are you going?
