Chapter 27 1. Visitors on a snowy night

It was snowing heavily in Guanzhong, and flakes like goose feathers were flying all over the sky, and soon the world was covered in white, covered with white everywhere.A romantic snowy night is full of dangers, and a fierce battle involving hundreds of thousands of people may break out at any time.Bashang-Hongmen are forty miles apart, and the arrow is on the string, ready to go.This land may be stained with blood at any time, and corpses are everywhere.It seems that the heavens also feel sorry for those who are about to die, so they put mourning clothes on the earth in advance, and the falling snowflakes are like paper money falling from the sky.The world turned into a big stage, rehearsing a large-scale funeral.

A fine horse rushed out of the Hongmen barracks like an arrow from the string, and galloped in the direction of Bashang.The knight whipped his mount desperately, and the horse's four hooves flew into the air, rolling up pieces of snowflakes, and the sound of the horse's hoofs was heard far away under the silent night sky.Air waves spewed out from the mouths of the horse and the knight, and he seemed to be able to hear the earth-shattering shouts of killing in his ears, which made him feel even more anxious. Jump far ahead. Bashang barracks, Lu Gong has brought Yu Ji back safely.When she arrived at the barracks, she was fully awake, but she didn't know what happened just now.Lu Zhi personally helped her out of the car, and said in a crying voice, "Sister, you are finally back!"

Concubine Yu asked with a blank face, "Sister, what happened? I remember that I drank mutton soup in your tent, and then fell asleep in a daze. After that, I didn't know anything. It seems..." Yu Ji was struggling to recall some scenes she had seen in a haze. Lu Zhi was worried about what she would think of, so he quickly said: "Yes! You fell asleep, maybe you were too tired, and you slept so badly that I couldn't wake you up after screaming for a long time. I couldn't bear to disturb your sweet dreams, so I sent Someone escorted you back to Hongmen. As a result..." As he spoke, Lu Zhi began to cry.

"What was the result?" "On the way, a group of robbers intercepted and nearly took my sister away. Our guards fought bloody battles and snatched you back. But my sister was terrified. If you have any troubles, how can I explain to King Xiang?" Even if I die a hundred times, I can't make up for my mistakes." Lu Zhi burst into tears, looking very real. Only then did Yu Ji remember that she seemed to have seen some people fighting while she was half asleep and half awake, but her memory was very vague, and she couldn't remember the specific appearance of those people.She believed Lu Zhi's words, and in turn comforted Lu Zhi, saying: "Sister, don't be sad, I came back intact, nothing happened." She purposely turned around on the spot to prove to Lu Zhi I was not injured.

Lu Zhi finally breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Liu Bang.Liu Bang hurriedly said: "Sisters and sisters, you and your sister should go to bed and rest first, and I will send you back to Hongmen tomorrow. I will send someone to inform King Xiang immediately so that he won't worry." Lv Zhi supported Yu Ji and walked towards his sleeping tent.Liu Bang and Lu Gong walked into the big tent. As soon as they entered the big tent, Liu Bang knelt down on the ground with a "plop", "Father-in-law's great kindness, Liu Ji will never forget it. You saved Concubine Yu, and you also saved Liu Ji." How can I repay your old man with the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers on Heba?"

Lu Gong hurriedly helped him up and said, "We are all a family, why is this so. You are lucky that Yu Ji can come back safely. This is all caused by my reckless daughter, and I should solve it logically." This trouble." "The old man really has friends all over the world, and Liu Ji admires him so much. How did you find Yu Ji? Who kidnapped her?" Lu Gong thought for a while and said: "My friends have all kinds of teachings and are well-informed, so they quickly found out where Yu Ji was hiding. With their help, I rescued Yu Ji from the robbers. All of them have been subdued, and no one is left alive. As for who kidnapped Yu Ji, I don't know."

Liu Bang looked at Lu Gong suspiciously, and thought: "You are so capable, you can't find out the real identity of the robber, right? Or are you hiding something on purpose?" Lu Gong ignored Liu Bang's questioning eyes, yawned and said, "I'm tired after tossing around all night, let's talk about something tomorrow! I'll go back and rest first." After finishing speaking, he walked out of the big tent and returned to the office. I went to my camp. In Cao Wushang's camp, his trusted aides are reporting the results of the Hongmen trip to him. "Xiang Yu has decided to send troops to attack Bashang tomorrow morning, my lord, we succeeded."

Cao Wushang showed a satisfied smile when he heard the words, he could finally take revenge on Liu Bang. "If Liu Ji, an old fox, doesn't die, we won't be considered a success. You gather reliable soldiers and make them ready to be on call at any time, ready to meet Xiang Yu's army." After the cronies left, Cao Wushang went outside the camp, stood in the snowstorm, full of pride, thought to himself: "Now the world is full of heroes, and the situation where the princes stood side by side before Qin Shihuang wiped out the six kingdoms has reappeared. Among the heroes , the most powerful are Liu Ji and Xiang Yu, but these two great heroes have become pawns on my chessboard, at my disposal. Today I can use Xiang Yu's hand to get rid of Liu Bang, how can I know that one day I can't get rid of Xiang Yu , How about dominating the world? At that time, I can rule the world like the first emperor, hahaha!" The success of the plot made Cao Wushang's ambition inflate without limit, and his appetite was so big that he could swallow the whole world.

The knight from Hongmen finally arrived at the Bashang barracks. In front of the barracks gate, he reined in his horse and said to the guards: "Uncle Xiang, I have something important to see Situ Zhang Liang of Korea. Please let me know." Zhang Liang was sleeping when he was awakened by the guards. Hearing that it was Xiang Bo who came to visit, he got up to greet him.Uncle Xiang walked into Zhang Liang's camp wrapped in wind and snow, his hands and feet were almost frozen, Zhang Liang asked him to sit by the brazier to keep warm, and asked, "Brother Xiang, is it urgent that you come to Bashang so late?" thing?"

"Benefactor, pack up quickly and leave here with me." Xiang Bo didn't have time to explain the specific reason to Zhang Liang, the key is not to let Zhang Liang be buried with Liu Bang. Zhang Liang immediately had an ominous premonition that something big was about to happen. He asked in surprise, "Why? What happened?" Seeing Zhang Liang's intention to get to the bottom of the matter, Xiang Bo knew that if he didn't tell him the truth, it would be difficult for him to go with him willingly, and he didn't care about the crime of leaking the military plane, so he said bluntly: "Xiang Yu will come early tomorrow morning. If you want to lead the allied forces of the princes to attack Bashang, if you stay here, you will end up dead! Come with me!"

Zhang Liang didn't realize it for a moment, he was stunned for a while, then came back to his senses, and asked back: "Why did Xiang Yu attack Peigong? Hasn't the misunderstanding been resolved?" Uncle Xiang stomped his feet anxiously, "Eliminate what? Pei Gong occupied the treasury and palace of the Qin State and prevented the princes from entering the pass. Now he wants to use Ziying as his chancellor to openly fight against the princes from all walks of life. He also kidnapped Concubine Yu. Prepare to blackmail King Xiang. With these charges, can Xiang Yu not punish him?" Bo Xiang didn't say anything about Cao Wushang's whistleblowing, and now it's hard to tell whether the truth is true or not, and he doesn't want to confess Cao Wushang. Zhang Liang knew about using Ziying as his prime minister, and he also knew that Lu Gong asked Lu Zhi to find Yu Ji to clear up, but he didn't know about Lu Zhi holding Yu Ji and Xiang Yu. "Impossible. I was there when Peigong met Ziying. It's a drunken joke to worship Ziying. It can't be true. As for kidnapping Yuji and Xiang Yu, it's even more unbelievable. Why didn't I know?" Uncle Xiang stood up and dragged Zhang Liang outside, "Whether you know it or not, it's important to escape now. You are my savior, and I can't just watch you be buried with Liu Ji." Zhang Liang tried his best to break free from Uncle Xiang, "This may be another misunderstanding. I will go to Peigong to clarify the matter. If it is really a misunderstanding, you can explain it to Xiang Yu, and a fight can be avoided. We just overthrew the Tyranny of the Qin Dynasty, I really can't bear to see Liu and Xiang fight among themselves, and the lives are ruined!" Xiang Bo looked at Zhang Liang with straight eyes, not knowing what to say for a moment. Lu Gong's tent, he was about to go to bed when a follower walked in and whispered something in his ear.Lu Gong frowned again, got up and said: "Go, go and have a look!" The attendant reminded: "My lord, it's snowing outside, add some clothes!" Lu Gong looked around, and Liu Bang gave it to him The bearskin coat he wore was on the bed, he grabbed it, put it on, and stepped into the wind and snow. At the door of Zhang Liang's camp, Uncle Xiang was dragging him outside with all his strength, arguing with him: "Didn't you explain it on behalf of Liu Ji last time? Now it's still a fight! It's no use explaining." , Now the arrow is on the string and has to be launched, if you don’t leave, it will be too late!” He dragged out vigorously, Zhang Liang shrank inward with all his strength, and the two were entangled at the door of the tent. Suddenly, a burst of hearty laughter sounded, "Which one are you two playing?" Zhang Liang raised his head and saw Lu Gonggong standing not far away, looking with interest at the two people who seemed to be wrestling.Ever since they knew that Zhang Liang had a connection with Xiang Yu's uncle, Xiang Bo, Lu Gong's subordinates had been monitoring Zhang Liang.Xiang Bo came to visit late at night, and the spies immediately informed Lu Gong of the news, so he appeared here. Seeing that there were outsiders present, Xiang Bo had no choice but to stop temporarily.Seeing Lu Gong appearing suddenly, Zhang Liang knew that things were not that simple, even if he wanted to leave now, he might not be able to, so he simply stepped forward and said, "Old man, it's so late, why haven't you rested yet?" Mr. Lu shook the snow on his coat and said, "I'm getting old and I can't sleep well. I woke up in the middle of the night and saw the snow falling outside. I suddenly became excited, so I went out to enjoy the snow." Zhang Liang saw that Lu Gong was wearing a bearskin coat, standing in the wind and snow, with a fluttering long beard, and a fairy-like demeanor, looking like a fairy.However, there seemed to be figures swaying behind the surrounding tents, as if they were ambushing warriors.It seems that Lu Gong came prepared. If he and Xiang Bo left the barracks without permission, they would be captured and killed on the spot. "The old man really knows how to enjoy it! This rare snow scene should not be missed. However, now is not the time to look at the scenery, please come to the tent, Zhang Liang has something important to tell." Lu Gong nodded, and both of them agreed. Smart people don't have to go around in circles. Lu Gong, Zhang Liang and Xiang Bo returned to the tent and sat down around the brazier.At this time, Zhang Liangcai introduced Lu Gong and Xiang Bo, "This is Pei Gong's father-in-law Lu Gong, and this is Xiang Yu's uncle Xiang Bo."Uncle Xiang bowed his hands to Duke Lu and looked at Zhang Liang. He also found it inconceivable that Duke Lu appeared at such a time. Lu Gong said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. General Xiang came to see Zifang so late, maybe it's something important. If it's inconvenient to discuss it in front of a third person, I will avoid it for now." Zhang Liang smiled wryly, "To be honest, Brother Xiang and I are old friends..." "Zifang is my savior." Xiang Bo added, now it is necessary to explain the relationship between the two clearly to dispel Lu Gong's suspicion.Hearing what they said, Lu Gong nodded in relief. "Brother Xiang visited late at night this time to save my life!" Zhang Liang said. "Could it be that Zifang encountered some crisis?" Lu Gong asked in surprise. Zhang Liang glanced at Uncle Xiang, and Uncle Xiang bowed his head in silence. At this point, it was impossible for him and Zhang Liang to escape.Zhang Liang said frankly: "Tomorrow morning, Xiang Yu's army is going to attack Bashang. When the time comes, everything will be destroyed, and my life will be lost. So Brother Xiang came to inform me and let me escape early." Lu Gong was not as shocked as Zhang Liang and Xiang Bo expected, but his brows moved slightly, and he still asked very calmly: "Why is this? Didn't Liu Ji reconcile with Xiang Yu? Why did he suddenly want to Going to war?" Looking at Lu Gong's expression, Xiang Bo thought to himself: "Don't be chaotic in times of danger, don't be surprised when things change, this old man is not someone to wait for nothing!" Zhang Liang explained several reasons for Xiang Yu's crusade against Liu Bang.Mr. Lu struck the ground with the crutch in his hand, and said repeatedly: "Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding! Zifang, you know that worshiping Ziying as a friend is just a joke after drinking, and Liu Jina is teasing Ziying; Ji, it’s even more nonsense to threaten Xiang Yu to leave Guanzhong. Yu Ji is indeed in Bashang, but Lu Zhi picked her up. The two sisters haven’t seen each other for a long time, and they get together to catch up. How can they spread rumors and shock Such a big incident? This E-chao, who has always acted hastily, must have taken Yu Ji away without saying hello to King Xiang, which resulted in such a big misunderstanding." Uncle Xiang originally suspected that Cao Wushang had framed Liu Bang, but now seeing that Zhang Liang and Lu Gong's statement was consistent with his original guess, he was even more convinced that Liu Bang was innocent, and there was another big misunderstanding between Liu and Xiang.He quickly said: "If it is really a misunderstanding, you must explain it clearly, otherwise it will be too late to launch the army tomorrow morning!" Zhang Liang stood up and said, "I'll go see Peigong right away. Old man, please talk to Brother Xiang. I'll make a decision after I report to Peigong." By keeping Xiang Liang behind, he was expressing himself to Lugong. Sincerity, will not take the opportunity to escape.
