Chapter 25 Negotiations
Chen Luo dismounted, covered in dust.

The exhaustion from running three hundred miles in a few days was deeply etched on his face.

If it weren't for the fear of the horse going wrong on the way, and the trimming, it is estimated that he would have run farther.

"I'm Chen Luo, whose name is Jiang Ning. Situ of the Chu State, may I ask which rebel army you belong to?" Chen Luo asked without being humble and humble as he was led to a carriage.

When he found the scouts of this group on the road, he knew they were not Qin Jun.

There is no other reason, the Qin army is equipped with standard equipment, and the armor and weapons are matched with each other, so it will not be so messy and rough.

And if the other party is a rebel army, the name of Chu State is still very useful now, so Chen Luo reported his identity openly, at least to dispel the other party's other thoughts.

Hearing this, Liu Bang sat up straight and looked at Chen Luo for a moment.

He got out of the carriage and said with a smile, "I didn't expect Chen Situ to be so young. It really surprised me. In Xiapei County, Liu Ji is also from Chu, but I'm afraid his name won't reach Chen Situ's ears."

"Liu Ji?" Chen Luo repeated in a low voice in disbelief, suppressing the shock in his heart.

This person is actually Liu Bang?
Different from the appearance of Xiang Liang's amiable elder, Liu Bang standing in front of him has a somewhat free and easy temperament. Even though his hair is a lot of gray, but when people see him, he still doesn't feel that he is his elder, but more like a friend who has forgotten his years.

He praised calmly: "Pei Gong's name of chivalry has been admired for a long time. If you were in charge of escorting him back then, I'm afraid that King Chen would not have thought of making trouble in Daze Township, and he would have fled to the mountains with Pei Gong."

These words point out the deeds that Liu Bang once released the criminals under escort and fled together.

Hearing this, Liu Bang was stunned for a moment.

Xia Houying couldn't help whispering even more: "Brother Ji, this person seems to recognize you. This happened two or three years ago. I'm afraid only our people know."

"What do you know, kid? It's because of my reputation." Liu Bang retorted, but he was also a little shocked in his heart.

So he is so famous?Even Da Chu's Situ knew about his deeds?

Unable to restrain the joy on his face, Liu Bang said, "It's a real honor for my name to be passed on to Chen Situ."

Then Liu Bang told the guards on the side: "Hurry up and boil hot water, prepare wine and food, and I will clean up Chen Situ's dust."

Even though Chen Luo is a little embarrassed now, the extraordinary demeanor on his body and the gorgeous clothes he wears cannot be simply pretended.

What's more, if the other party has such an identity, if he can speak well for him in the upper echelon of Chu State, or even become his backer...

You must know that the reason why he stayed uneasy in Chu, but brought people to Qi, was not to participate in the alliance of princes.

As for why he joined the alliance of princes, Xia Houying didn't understand, but Liu Bang was clear in his heart.

If you want to seek an orthodox identity for your team, then you have to do so.

The rebel army also has classes. The descendants of the nobles of the six countries are born with anti-Qin righteousness, followed by the well-known tyrants or knights.

Chen Luo waved his hands, and said with a serious expression: "Now is not the time to enjoy, the Qin army can still catch up, and it is extremely urgent. Peigong, please order the army to turn around and leave here."

Liu Bang hurriedly asked: "Could it be that the allied forces of the princes were really defeated?"

In fact, the messenger had already told Liu Bang about this, but at that time he didn't believe that the 20 allied forces of the princes would be defeated by the Qin army at all. Isn't this a joke?
The news I received a few days ago was still that the two sides were in a stalemate in the field of Jibei. Even if the allied forces of the princes had 20 pigs, the Qin army would not be able to capture them all in three days and three nights.

It's just that Chen Luo's noble status is alone outside, and Liu Bang's heart is shaken.

Chen Luo took a deep breath: "Originally, the two armies were in a stalemate and the situation was balanced, but another Qin army came to help, and many chariot cavalry rushed into the formation suddenly, disrupting our army's position.

Seeing that the situation seemed to be collapsing, I had no choice but to take the horse and break through alone, and met Peigong on the way.

These words and sentences are all true. I hope that Pei Gong will not go there, or if he garrisons here, within five days, there should still be people who are lucky enough to survive and flee.

If Peigong doesn't want to believe my words, then I can borrow two horses from Peigong's army and some dry food, and let me go away on my own. When I return to the king of Chu in the future, I will definitely not forget Peigong's life. "

Seeing that Chen Luo's words are sincere and he is always thinking of himself, Liu Bang has already believed it to [-]%.

He sighed and said: "It's been a ten-day trek to this point, but it's a pity to hear such bad news...Chen Situ went to take a brief rest first, and I summoned my subordinates and counselors, and we will discuss the specific matters later. How do you think this is?"

"Thank you Pei Gong for your hospitality." Chen Luo breathed a sigh of relief.

The sum of my rest time in these three days may not have been six hours, and I am already exhausted.

However, he was also somewhat looking forward to meeting those heroes in Pei County.

Among them are petty officials, butchers, and grooms, all of whom are of ordinary status. There are countless such people in this land.

But what they did was not ordinary. The country established in their hands was named "Han". In later generations, this word represented the Chinese language, the main ethnic group, and even the spiritual core.

They may be ordinary now, but the future will be dazzling.

Chen Luo thought so, and walked a few steps quickly.

Now the focus of my thinking should not be this, the focus is that the smell on my body is almost stinking to me, so I should wash it off quickly, and then eat something to replenish my strength.

After Chen Luo left, Xia Houying saw Liu Bang beside him still in a daze, and couldn't help reminding: "Brother Ji, he has already left, what do you think of this guy?"

"It's not easy for people to survive from the chaotic army." Liu Bang just smiled lightly and replied.

Xia Houying smacked her lips and pondered for a moment, then couldn't help but nodded: "What Peigong said is absolutely true."

Liu Bang laughed and said, "You're talking nice things. Why don't you call Lao Xiao, Lao Cao, and my brother-in-law over here. Before Chen Situ recovers, we'll discuss a specific plan first, and we can't be led by the nose by this outsider."

"Yes." Xia Houying replied heavily, and drove the carriage to deliver the message.

Without hesitation, Liu Bang found a big rock by the side of the road, sat down cross-legged, and rubbed his chin lightly: "This Chen Situ knows who I am? It's really weird when you think about it. Could it be that I met him somewhere?"

Thinking back for a long time, he didn't have any corresponding memories, so he could only scratch his head helplessly: "Forget it, maybe it's because I have a good reputation."
