Chapter 31 2. The Pain of the Royal Tomb

When Liu Bang returned to Sanqin, he did not forget his father and wife in Pei County.Four months later, thinking about him like flying, Liu Bang was worried about the safety of his relatives besides Zhang Han who was hiding in the ruined hill city.In order to meet Lu Zhi and Liu Taigong, he decided to send an army to Pei County. He decided to entrust this important task to an important person, and this person was Wang Ling. Wang Ling, a native of Peixian County, is also an iron buddy of Liu Bang's enemy Yong Chi.Before Liu Bang's uprising, Wang Ling was a wealthy man in Pei County, and Liu Bang treated him as respectfully as his own elder brother.Don't think that Liu Bang's tricks can win Wang Ling's heart, the fact is just the opposite.After Liu Bang's uprising in Pei County, instead of following Liu Bang, Wang Ling led a team of about 1,000 people to occupy Nanyang (now Nanyang City, Henan Province), and became the leader of a party.

Unexpectedly, just after Liu Bang settled Guanzhong, Wang Ling suddenly responded to Liu Bang with his brothers for some unknown purpose.Liu Bang knew that the current king's tomb was just a situation where he was forced to temporarily find a backer. It is estimated that his maximum limit was to respond to and cooperate with the actions of the Han army, and he would not really submit to Liu Bang. This is really a headache. Wang Ling is like a bird standing on the back of a dragon. He can fly away at any time, and he can also peck back at any time. What should we do?After much deliberation, Liu Bang came up with a clever strategy, entrusting a major task, and entrusted Wang Ling with the task of entering Pei County to welcome Liu Taigong and others.

Liu Bang believes that this method is worthy of the best of both worlds. First of all, Wang Ling is from Pei County and is familiar with the route back to his hometown, and he is also familiar with Pei County, so there is no need to be afraid of delaying time.Secondly, it is used to convey the incomparable trust in Wang Ling and implement win-win.He almost told Wang Ling so loudly, brother, my father and wife have been entrusted to you for safekeeping, haven't I valued you enough? No one knew Liu Bang's good intentions, let alone what Wang Ling was thinking along the way.In any case, Wang Ling took the order and set off. Liu Bang sent the general west out of Wuguan, and Wang Ling met him in Nanyang. With him as a guide, he marched towards Pei County.

However, when the royal tomb traveled to Yangxia (now Taikang County, Henan Province), Xiang Yu heard that the royal tomb was going east, and immediately sent troops to block and intercept it, so that it could not advance.At the same time, Xiang Yu did not know where to find out the whereabouts of Wang Ling's mother, so he captured the old man and placed him in the Chu army to threaten Wang Ling! Xiang Yu said to Wang Ling: If you want to marry your mother, you have to surrender quickly! Wang Ling froze immediately, and before the leader's relatives received it, his own mother actually accompanied him in first.But up to now, the big things are not as big as the big things about his own mother, Wang Ling also had to reply to Xiang Yu: Don't hurt my mother, or I will never end with you.

Xiang Yu: Don't worry about this, as long as you are willing to surrender, the old man will be guaranteed to be unscathed. Wang Ling: That being the case, let's negotiate terms first! If Liu Bang heard Wang Ling's words, it would probably be too late to cry. What kind of a two-way plan, after all this, he still lost his wife and lost his army.God damn Wang Ling, if you really dare to surrender to Xiang Yu, our lives will never end! There is no end to anything, saving my mother is much more important than saving your father.Sure enough, Wang Ling sent envoys to the Chu camp to negotiate with Xiang Yu.Xiang Yu, when he heard that Wang Ling sent someone to come, he immediately held a banquet in honor of the envoy, and invited Wang Ling's mother to the honorable seat at the banquet, but Xiang Yu, like a humble grandson, sat at the lower seat of the banquet.

Any fool can see that Xiang Yu's move is also called a show.The reason why Xiang Yu put up such a picture of filial piety to his mother is because he has found out Wang Ling's heart.First of all, Wang Ling is a dutiful son.Secondly, Wang Ling will not give up on Liu Bang at all.Therefore, he designed the three steps of surrender for Wang Ling from the bottom of his heart, that is, negotiation, drinking, and betraying the Han. All kinds of signs prove that, if nothing else happens, Wang Ling must be the second enemy who stabbed Liu Bang from behind after Yong Chi.However, in the affairs of the world, man's calculation is not as good as heaven's calculation. Just when the envoy of Wangling and Xiang Yu negotiated the terms and were about to return them, a person jumped out immediately and disrupted Xiang Yu's wishful thinking.

It was none other than Wang Ling's mother who destroyed Xiang Yu's dream of surrender.At that time, the queen mother saw an opportunity and secretly told Wang Ling's envoy that he must tell Wang Ling that he must follow the King of Han wholeheartedly. Great future ahead!What's more unexpected, in order to cut off the heart of chaos in Wang Ling, the queen mother drew her sword and committed suicide, so as to have no way out! The queen mother's blood spattered all over the ground, and she fell slowly.The self-defeating sword of the Queen Mother also seemed to have cut Xiang Yu's throat. He was in such pain that he couldn't recover for a long time, and he was completely mad.What an old bastard who doesn't know how to flatter you. I, Xiang Yu, had no enmity with you in my previous life. In this life, I kindly served you once, but even called me a tyrant.Old thing, since you cursed me to die early, I will make your death uneasy.

Therefore, Xiang Yu, in a rage, did something extremely unheroic and unfilial: he threw the dead body of Wang Ling's mother into the oil pan and cooked it. The news that Xiang Yu cooked the Queen Mother quickly reached Wang Ling's ears.There is no word in the world that can describe Wang Ling's incomparably sad and indignant mood at this moment. Xiang Yu, who is struck by lightning, listen carefully, in this life, there is you without me, and there is me without you! An accidental event changed two people in this way.From now on, Wang Ling will follow Liu Bang steadfastly and fight Xiang Yu to the end.Xiang Yu, like a brave lion, is waiting for him to be hunted heavily, and the ubiquitous swamp traps.

At this time, on the other side of the world, Liu Bang's army once again attacked Han, the hometown of Zhang Liang.At the moment of the bloody battle, Xiang Yu was beyond his reach, so he had to appoint a man named Zheng Chang as the new king of Han, and went to Han to meet Liu Bang.Strange, there is clearly a Han Wangcheng in Handi, why did Xiang Yu appoint a new Han Wang? Let Xiang Yu tell everyone the answer. In fact, before Liu Bang hit Hanzhong, he had already killed Han Wangcheng.Xiang Yu killed Han Wangcheng for two reasons. First, in terms of military talent, Han Wangcheng is really a waste.Second, when it comes to dealing with people, Han Wangcheng really doesn't know how to praise him.

When the princes of the world made great efforts to fight against Qin, instead of contributing to the cause, Han Wangcheng was chased and beaten by the Qin army every day. This kind of person is nothing more than a hindrance, and what is it if he is not a waste?However, when Xiang Yu announced the title of king while playing in the water, the trash Han Wangcheng was lucky enough to become one of the eighteen princes and kings.The reason why Xiang Yu kept the title of Han Wangcheng unchanged for the time being was that Xiang Liang personally conferred him the title of king. However, when Xiang Yu heard that Han Wangcheng's prime minister Zhang Liang sent Liu Bang to Hanzhong, he decided to change his mind.

Everyone on earth knows that Xiang Yu is jealous of Liu Bang.Since Xiang Yu once again crowned King Han as king, he should naturally belong to Western Chu, but the fact is that you Han Wangcheng did not see any contribution to Xiang Yu, but instead let Zhang Liang and Liu Bang make friends. Is the Overlord of Western Chu serious? Han Wangcheng's attitude has exceeded Xiang Yu's tolerance, and it is impossible to vent his anger without killing Han Wangcheng.Therefore, Xiang Yu not only refused to release Han Wangcheng back to South Korea, but also robbed him to Pengcheng when he was playing in the water and sent troops back to the east. But for Xiang Yu at this time, there were so many ghosts and monsters in the world. It was not enough for him to appoint Zheng Chang to resist the Han army, he had to go out himself.But here comes the problem again, he is not superhuman, besides dealing with Liu Bang in the west, Tian Rong in the Qi State in the east, Peng Yue in the north and Chen Yu who is about to make a move all give him a headache.Peng Yue and Chen Yu haven't grown up yet, so he should focus on dealing with Liu Bang and Tian Rong, so Xiang Yu was thinking about a question, should I kill Tian Rong first, or should I teach Liu Bang a lesson first? Tian Rong?Liu Bang?Liu Bang?Tian Rong?The two names Liu Bang and Tian Rong dangled in front of Xiang Yu's eyes like two will-o'-the-wisps, and he really didn't know which hand to strike.At this critical moment, Xiang Yu suddenly received two letters from Zhang Liang, which immediately changed Xiang Yu's decision. Zhang Liang said to Xiang Yu in these two letters: The King of Han started the war because he lost Guanzhong. Now he is satisfied with what he got, so there is no threat of going east, so you don't have to worry.Tian Rong of Qi State wants to unite Zhao Wangxie of Zhao State to attack Chu State, you should kill them. Without proof, Zhang Liang also brought the announcement of Tian Rong and Peng Yue's joint anti-Chu to Xiang Yu. There are too many people in the world who understand Xiang Yu's character, but there are very few people like Zhang Liang who can properly grasp Xiang Yu's psychological weakness.First, Xiang Yu, you took away Liu Bang's things, shouldn't Liu Bang take it back now?Second, from the beginning to the end, Tian Rong from Qi State in the east never said a word to persuade you, Chu State, and he is the one who yells at you the most fiercely at Xiang Yu in the whole world. Shouldn't you beat him? Classic, so classic.Zhang Liang's analysis was right. Liu Bang at least pretended to be my grandson at the Hongmen Banquet. As for Tian Rong, he always barked at me like a vicious dog.That's it, kill Tian Rong, Liu Bang is next! Therefore, Xiang Yu decided to temporarily abandon Liu Bang, and led his troops to attack Qi. Xiang Yu fell for it.In fact, Zhang Liang’s move is called a tactic of slowing down the army. After thinking about it, we all know that Tian Rong is not such an easy dog ​​to deal with. If you have a strong soldier in Xiang Yu Pengcheng's lair, the success rate is quite high. This is what Zhang Liang thought, and the general trend of the world is also going in this way. A melee battle between princes is about to begin!
