Emperor Qin Ba Shi

Chapter 101 Xiao He's Peerless Knowledge!
Xiang Bo's mansion is not big, with only three entrances.This is just the place where Uncle Xiang stayed temporarily. After Xiang Yu divided the world, he still had to go back.

Naturally, Xiang Bo, who has always liked luxury, did not plan to build a grand mansion.

This point has to start with Xiang Yu.Xiang Yu, as the general of the allied armies of the princes, is the king of the world this time, and his mansion only has three entrances.

Xiang Bo, as the Right Commander of the Chu State, has no power but power, and this power comes from Xiang Yu.Therefore, Xiang Bo restrained his nature.

The first entrance to the mansion is for reception purposes only.The second entry is Xiang Bo's residence.The last entrance is a small garden of about one mu of land, with a thatched courtyard next to it.

Since Xiang Bo is alone and no one lives at home, it is natural to clean up and quiet.

Zhang Liang followed the elders and stepped into the small courtyard.No one can set foot here except Xiang Bo.Naturally, it became the place where Xiang Bo met important guests.

The courtyard is not big, with an old mulberry tree in the middle and five poplars on each side.There are more than a dozen huts on three sides, surrounded by high bluestone walls without doors, separating the courtyard from the outside world.

……

Walking to the door, the elder smiled at Zhang Liang: "Mr. Do as you please, You Lingyin is in the courtyard." He turned and left.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Liang was slightly taken aback.Obviously, all of this was arranged by Xiang Bo, Zhang Liangzheng thought it was funny, and the sound of slight footsteps gradually became clear.

"Brother Zifang, you are indeed here!"

Zhang Liang entered the Shimen with a deep bow, and said, "Brother Xiang, Zhang Liang is interrupting you!"

Everything that happened at the banquet that day broke up unhappy.But Zhang Liang knew that something must have happened after Pei Gong and Liu Ji left.

Otherwise, Bo Xiang would not reveal that Xiang Yu granted Liu Ji Yudong Liaodong!

……

Uncle Xiang took a look at Zhang Liang, and bowed his head: "Uncle Xiang is negligent, Ovary forgive me!"

"The humble house is simple, inside the ovary—please!" As he spoke, he turned and walked under a poplar tree in the sunny part of the courtyard.

At this time, there were already two maids sweeping the fallen leaves, laying out seats and making tea. The weather in early spring was still a bit cold, and the charcoal fire was rising, giving a faint warmth.

"Brother Xiang, when did you switch to drinking tea?" Zhang Liang smiled lightly, and sat down at the table without waiting for Uncle Xiang to do it.

"Zifang is here looking for Uncle Xiang. I don't know why?" Uncle Xiang sighed, then laughed again.

Zhang Liang smiled and said: "Brother Xiang, between you and me, Ming people don't speak dark words. There are 2000 taels of gold and [-] liters of pearls here. Mr. Nai Pei thanked Brother Xiang for his care at the banquet."

"Ha ha……"

Laughing loudly, Uncle Xiang showed a bit of bitterness on his face: "Zifang, I know why you are here. It's just that I have a complete falling out with Xiang Yu, so I'm afraid I can't help you!"

"Furthermore, the enfeoffment of Peigong and Liaodong was insisted by my father, Fan Zeng, and approved by the general. This is an unchangeable fact!"

Hearing this, Zhang Liang's heart sank, he knew that this matter was irreversible.

"Brother Xiang, since it is already irreversible, it is difficult to change it. Please also ask Brother Xiang to take care of Pei Gong one or two, You Beiping is close to the west of Liaoning!"

"If Duke Pei is willing to live in Youbeiping and lead Liaodong, can Brother Xiang ask the general to entrust Youbeiping to Peigong as well?"

In desperation, Zhang Liang could only settle for the next best thing.Only by expanding the territory can Liu Ji, the Duke of Pei, have a chance to enter the Central Plains.What's more, 2000 taels of gold and [-] liters of pearls cannot be given away for nothing.

"it is good!"

Responding to the case, Uncle Xiang's eyes flashed with determination: "I don't want to be ashamed, I will go for Pei Gong! Ovary, don't forget the appointment of the day!"

Xiang Bo was very optimistic about Liu Ji, and he was obviously serious about the oral agreement made by his son and daughter's in-laws that day.

"Haha..." With a loud laugh, Zhang Liang cupped his hands, and said, "What has Zhang Liang neglected about Uncle Xiang's matter!"

……

Xiang Bohao is a chivalrous man who values ​​friendship, and he regards Zhang Liang as a life-and-death friend.After the banquet, he and Liu Ji verbally agreed to become relatives of their sons and daughters. He regarded himself as Liu Ji's protector and took care of Liu Ji all the time.

Uncle Xiang was short-sighted and greedy for small gains. Liu Ji respected him as a brother and asked him to marry his sons and daughters as in-laws, which was very useful to him.

And Zhang Liang personally brought a lot of gold and treasures, and Xiang Bo also felt that he deserved it.

In addition to this point, the reason why Xiang Bo agreed to Zhang Liang was because he and his father Fan Zengshi were in the same boat.

At the banquet, Fan Zeng ordered Xiang Zhuang to dance with his sword to kill Liu Ji.He resolutely opposed it, and he did not hesitate to jump out and draw his sword to help, and even stabbed Xiang Zhuang, causing Xiang Yu to be furious.

But this time, Yafu Fan Zeng personally presided over the discussion about enfeoffment, but he didn't even have the chance to be by the side.

Uncle Xiang knew that there was already a rift between him and Fan Zeng, and it was impossible to resolve it, so he could only bite the bullet and go to the dark.

……

He really disapproved of Fan Zeng's harsh plan to block Liu Ji in Liaodong. This time he informed Zhang Liang that he was showing his favor to Liu Ji.

At the same time, in order to protect Liu Ji again, Fan Zeng's aggressiveness was broken.Let the world know that he is the second in the world under Xiang Yu and above Fan Zeng.

Because of this, Xiang Bo agreed to Zhang Liang's request!This strategy of killing birds with one stone was a decision that Xiang Bo pondered for a long time.

……

Liu Jijun camp!
……

"Pei Gong, there is nothing to change the enfeoffment of Liaodong. I beg Xiang Bo to ask the general to confer You Beiping..." Zhang Liang came to Liu Ji's camp, his expression was a little silent.

……

"Xiang Yu, you are too deceitful!" With an angry roar, Liu Jigao shouted, "Fan Kui will purge the three armies immediately, and I will fight Xiang Yu to the death!"

When the news came, Liu Ji was humiliated and desperate for a while.Impulsively prepared to take the risk, he planned to use his own army to attack Xiang Yu in a sneak attack, so that he could die.

"Pei Gong, don't do it!" The confidant Fan Kui and others held Liu Ji tightly to stop his impulsiveness.

……

At this moment, although Liu Ji had calmed down.But still trapped in despair and unable to extricate himself, a person lost his soul and remained silent.

At this time, Xiao He stood up and said, "Although Wang Liaodong's three counties are hateful and hateful, they are still a better way out than seeking death."

Hearing this, Liu Ji was a little moved: "There is a better way out than seeking death, how do you say that?"

Xiao He bowed solemnly, and said: "In terms of the strength of the army, it is impossible for us to fight against Xiang Yu. Once we conflict, it can be said that we will be defeated in every battle. What is it if it is not seeking death?"

"From a historical point of view, both King Tang of Shang and King Wen of Zhou were able to submit to others for a while, and eventually they were able to convince others."

"The general thought that Peigong could follow their example and follow Mr. Zifang's arrangement. He first invited You Beiping to use You Beiping as the foundation of his king's career."

"Nurturing the people and recruiting talents, and then collecting material and manpower from Liaodong and Liaoxi, and going south to the Central Plains, such a major event in the world may not have the opportunity to overthrow it and start over!"
