Chapter 24 Two, blue face bosom friend

The camp of the Chu army sang and danced all day long, with constant laughter. This scene and this sound penetrated Lu Zhi's heart like a needle prick. The joy of the Chu army means the disastrous defeat of the Han army.After being captured by the Chu army, Lu Zhi was already mentally prepared to throw his head and blood.She knew Xiang Yu was a human being, and if he fell into his hands, he would surely die. The only difference was in the way of death. Xiang Yu loved killing people, and he also liked to boil people in a pot. Wang Ling's mother was one of them.So much so that when you see Chu Jun making rice, you can't help but guess whose meat is cooked in that pot?

When you live, you live, when you die, you die. At this point, there is really nothing to think about. However, Xiang Yu did not kill the killer, but treated her and Liu Bang's family kindly.This somewhat surprised Lu Zhi, and after thinking about it, he understood that Xiang Yu kept them here not because he was soft-hearted, but because he took them as hostages. They are an important weight in his hands. However, house arrest is sometimes more tormented than being directly stabbed.When you die, there is no concern, and there is no sorrow or joy. As long as you are alive and your spirit is normal, you have to taste the bitter taste of life and death.

For a long time, every now and then, Lu Zhi would hear some battle reports.The content is very monotonous, nothing more than which city the Chu army captured, which Han general surrendered to the Chu army, and how many Han soldiers were killed. At this time, the Chu army will sing and dance as usual. Sunrise in the east and rain in the west, the music of the Han army, and the pain of Lu's pheasant.A hand with a brass finger glove grasped her heart, sometimes holding it tightly, sometimes rubbing it together. She wanted to capture the whereabouts of her husband Liu Bang from the battle situation of the Chu army, even if the whereabouts were just slush claws, it would be comforting to her.

However, nothing. She often feels weak and helpless, she is a woman after all, even after she became a queen, the innate greed, hatred and ignorance of women are not exempt from her, let alone when she is a hostage. She wanted to find someone to talk to, and there really was a suitable person by her side.This person is Shen Shiqi, the housekeeper Liu Bang left for her after he conquered Fengyi. Although Shen Shiqi is young, he is considerate.Unlike today's young men who are only good at undressing people. When Lu's pheasant was crying silently, Shen Shiqi accompanied her quietly; when Lu's pheasant was restless and helpless, he lightly pressed his hand on Lu's shoulder, as if to give her strength.

Lu Zhi also seemed to feel warmth and strength, and his weak body stopped shaking. She told the examiner what was in her heart.Some words are very trivial; some words are very broken.Shen Shiqi always communicates with her in a very measured and appropriate manner, helping her resolve it. As time goes by, Shen Shiqi has become her spiritual companion, her confidant. She and him are no longer masters and servants, but treat each other as equals.In front of her, he was neither humble nor intimidating.When they are not talking, they use their eyes to communicate. The care, distress and love in the eyes are the codes of the soul, and only they can understand each other.

Happiness is actually very simple. If someone cares, life will have hope.After darkness, there is always dawn, winter is here, and spring is not far away. Finally, after hearing too many bad news, Shen Shiqi brought a piece of good news: the King of Han is in Xingyang. Liu Bang is still alive, and he has won battles, just like the colorful clouds in the sky.Lu Zhi and Shen Shiqi share happiness, this happiness is very real, as precious as sending charcoal in the snow. Xingyang, a strategically important place, surrounded by mountains and rivers, is the throat from the east of the Guandong to the center of the Guanzhong. It is also necessary to pass through here to break the natural dangers of the tiger prison and Tongguan.

At the beginning, when Chen Sheng rebelled, he sent Wu Guang to command the army to attack here.At that time, the general guarding Xingyang was Li You, the son of Qin Prime Minister Li Si.In the end, Wu Guang died before his ambition was rewarded, and his remaining troops were wiped out by Qin General Zhang Han. Chen Sheng sent troops to attack Xingyang, and his main purpose was to seize food.Because fifty miles northwest of Xingyang, there is a mountain named Aoshan, which is connected to Bianshui in the north and Guangwu in the south.In the era of Qin Shihuang, there was a cave at the bottom of the mountain, which stored a large amount of military supplies, named "Ao Cang".

Nowadays, Chu and Han are fighting each other, things are different and people are different, Xingyang is still Xingyang, but the object of competition has changed. Pengcheng mutinied, Liu Bang fled to Xiayi, gathered his scattered soldiers, and retreated to Xingyang.Calculated by pinching fingers, from leaving Hanzhong, counterattacking Sanqin, to Pengcheng's defeat, it took only two months.In the past two months, he has been riding a Disney roller coaster, going from trough to peak, falling from peak to trough, all in an instant. When he arrived in Xiayi, he was surprised to find that Zhang Liang had also come.

When Liu Bang saw Zhang Liang, he was like Lv Zhi when he saw Shen Shiqi, and he could confide his sorrows and joys without any scruples. He was sad, he repented, he didn't expect the battle against Chu to be so difficult?What to do next?Can I still compete with Xiang Yu? Zhang Liang knew what Liu Bang was thinking, and he had a plan in mind, so he analyzed without haste: If he wants to defeat Xiang Yu, he needs three people.One of them is Jiujiang Wang Yingbu.This person, also known as Yingbu, violated the law in his early years and was sentenced to tattooing, that is, face tattooing and ink charcoal.

After being convicted, Yingbo was escorted to Lishan to perform hard labor.There, Ying Bu met a large number of leaders of reform-through-labor prisoners.Then, he led the group of reform-through-labour prisoners to escape from Lishan Mountain and became a robber. Chen Sheng rebelled, and Ying Bu also led thousands of people to rebel. After the defeat, he took refuge in Xiang Liang. After Xiang Liang died, he followed Xiang Yu.Although he is brave and good at fighting and has made outstanding achievements, he only gets the title of King of Jiujiang.This person and Xiang Yu seem to be close, but in fact they seem to be in harmony with each other.

The second person is the guerrilla king Peng Yue. Now he and Tian Heng have formed an anti-Chu alliance, and most of the land in Liangdi is in his hands. The third person is Han Xin. Liu Bang thought about the situation at this time and had to admit Zhang Liangzhi's brilliance. Pengcheng was defeated and fled, and he almost became a widow.And this widow is not that widow, but the widow of the widow.Those princes, kings and generals all betrayed him one after another and turned to Xiang Chu.Among them, Wei Guo and Zhao Guo in the north are like two time bombs, lurking behind him.This requires detonating bombs first, so that we can concentrate our forces to deal with Xiang Yu in the south, otherwise we will be attacked by the enemy. Who to send to detonate it?Only Han Xin is worthy of this task. After Liu Bang's defeat in Pengcheng, Han Xin immediately reorganized the various troops who were defeated and returned to Guanzhong.In other words, the large forces of the Han army are in his hands. What Zhang Liang meant was: If Han Xin, Peng Yue, and Ying Bu fight against Xiang Yu together, Xiang Yu will surely perish and the world will gain.When necessary, you can promise that if you can really help the King of Han defeat Xiang Yu, you will share the world with him in the future. As far as the current serious situation is concerned, there is no better solution.Therefore, Liu Bang followed Zhang Liang's plan.
