Chapter 493 The result is helpless
As soon as he saw Xiang Zhuang come to his army with Xiang Yu's saber to investigate and inform the traitor, Liu Laosan immediately understood that he had been tricked by Xiang Kang again.

But it's okay, in terms of collusion with the Han army, Liu Laosan is a genuine person who is not afraid of being crooked, so Liu Laosan just asked Xiang Zhuang to investigate the cause of the traitor, and immediately agreed to Xiang Zhuang's investigation of himself Every general and soldier under his command has repeatedly asked his friends in Pei County to cooperate with Xiang Zhuang's investigation, and not to get angry, let alone lose his temper, so as not to spoil the most important decision he made through Master Xiang to control Xiang Yu.

To Liu Laosan's relief, although Xiang Zhuang brought his two cousins ​​Xiang Guan and Xiang Han to investigate his army, he did not deliberately embarrass Fan Kuai, Xia Houying, Cao Can, Zhou Bo and other Liu Laosan's absolute confidants , Even Han Xin, who was maliciously framed by Xiang Kang several times before, Xiang Zhuang just asked a few casual questions and settled the matter. He focused the investigation on Liu Laosan's guards and army sergeants, and only asked the flies Not touching the tiger seems to obviously not want to make matters worse.

But there is also something that makes Liu Laosan strange. After tossing until it was completely dark, Xiang Zhuang not only brought seven or eight of Liu Laosan's soldiers back to his camp to continue questioning, but also took away all of them who had followed Liu Laosan for many years His personal guards and veterans in the army are all the least suspicious objects.In this regard, although Liu Laosan also carefully asked Xiang Zhuang for the reason, Xiang Zhuang refused to answer, but promised that he would not wrong the person taken away by him.

Liu Laosan also quickly lost the energy to care about such trivial matters, because just at dawn the next day, the scouts of the Western Chu Army sent an urgent report, saying that there was a big move in the Han army camp, like It was about to send troops to attack the camp of the Western Chu Army that had not yet been fully built. Not long after that, when Liu Laosan had just rushed to the commanding account of the Chinese Army with the other Western Chu Army civil and military officials, the edge of the Western Chu Army's camp suddenly appeared. There was an unusual noise.

"What's the matter? It's impossible for the traitors to come so fast? Send someone to check the situation."

Xiang Yu, who was already wounded and sitting in the commander's tent, heard that something was wrong, and hurriedly ordered the guards to go out to check the situation. Feather arrows shot into the camp of the Western Chu army and caused a commotion. Before Xiang Yu, Liu Laosan and others could understand why the Han army did this, another guard rushed in from outside the tent and took a feather arrow bound with a letter. Presented in front of Xiang Yu, he said loudly: "My lord, the feather arrows shot by the Han thieves into our camp have letters tied to them, and it seems that every crossbow arrow is like this."

"Traitor, you will die if you don't play tricks?!"

After roaring angrily, Xiang Yu quickly grabbed the feather arrow and tore down the book of arrows to read it. To the surprise of the civil and military soldiers of the Western Chu Army, after roughly reading the book of arrows shot by the Han army, Xiang Yu not only did not jump into a rage like they were familiar with, but on the contrary He even laughed out loud, and said: "Shameless bastard, unfaithful and unfilial, wanting this king to hand over Uncle Ji and Duke Pei to seek peace, is simply a dream."

"What? Your Majesty, did you hear me right? The traitors actually want you to hand over your old minister for peace?"

Xiang Yu smiled easily, but the person concerned, Xiang Bo, Master Xiang, was taken aback, and hurriedly asked for the arrow book to watch it for himself, and the other person named by Xiang Yu, Liu Laosan, also hurried up to watch it together. As a result, Master Xiang and Master Xiang At the same time, Liu Laosan's face changed color. The Han army actually listed two major crimes for them in the arrow book. Liu Laosan colluded and insisted on provoking the war between Chu and Han, which caused hundreds of thousands of Chu and Han soldiers to die on the battlefield, and the people of the world suffered from the flames of war. The Han army and the Western Chu army started peace negotiations.

In addition, of course, the Han army threatened arrogantly, saying that if Xiang Yu did not hand over the two scourges of Master Xiang and Liu Laosan, they would attack the Western Chu army camp and destroy the unfinished Western Chu army camp. Step into powder!
After hastily reading the Han army's threats and demands, the frightened Xiang Bo, Master Xiang, of course shouted for grievances and cursed the shamelessness and viciousness of his unfilial nephew, but Liu Laosan hurriedly said after a little calculation: "My lord, this is a trick of the Han bandits. , the purpose is to let our soldiers know that you have been injured, to damage our morale, and to let the soldiers of Western Chu misunderstand your subjects and Master Xiang, and then resent you, the king, who refuses to agree to the terms of the peace talks with the traitors, let our soldiers If you don't want to fight for Master Xiang and his subordinates, you will confuse our army and weaken our morale."

"Of course I know this." Xiang Yu sneered, and said: "Don't worry, I won't be fooled. The more the traitors hate you and Uncle Ji, the more I will use you."

"Your Majesty, this is exactly the purpose of the traitors." Liu Laosan said with a wry smile: "It is human nature, there must be countless soldiers and generals in our army who want peace talks and a truce. It is also important that my subordinates and Master Xiang must be dissatisfied in their hearts, and they will definitely be affected during the battle. Therefore, I implore, and ask the king to immediately confiscate and destroy all arrow books that have been shot into our camp, and let the generals of all armies pay attention to every soldier of ours. Explain the sinister purpose of the traitors, and also declare that you are not injured at all, and then dispel the rumors and rectify the names of Master Xiang and his subordinates."

Listening to what Liu Laosan said was reasonable, and he was somewhat worried that the morale of the Western Chu Army would be affected. Xiang Yu immediately nodded in agreement with Liu Laosan's suggestion, and at the same time told the soldiers of the Western Chu Army to step up their preparations for the upcoming fierce attack by the Han army. While attacking, they collected and destroyed the arrow books, prohibited the soldiers of the Western Chu Army who had read the arrow books from disseminating the content of the arrow books, and then dispelled the rumors for Master Xiang and Liu Laosan, declaring their innocence, and announcing that Xiang Yu was not injured at all.

Even so, the scheming that Xiang Kang figured out by himself still played a big role. After learning that Xiang Kang was actually willing to negotiate peace with the Western Chu Army, many soldiers of the Western Chu Army who had been fighting for many years and had never been able to reunite with their families still gave birth In addition to the war-weary mentality, and Master Xiang Boxiang was notoriously unspirited, many soldiers of the Western Chu Army also hoped from the bottom of their hearts that Xiang Yu could accept the request of the Han army and hand over the hated Master Xiang Boxiang in exchange for The peace talks, especially those soldiers of the Western Chu Army who were personally led by Master Xiang a few days ago.In addition, there was the news that Xiang Yu had been seriously injured, which also made many soldiers of the Western Chu Army feel agitated.

Of course, the matter was not over yet. After a period of time, when Xiang Kang personally led more than 15 Han soldiers to the Western Chu barracks, and was about to launch a frontal attack, under Xiang Kang's instruction, countless Han soldiers They also shouted slogans neatly...

"Hand over Uncle Xiang, in exchange for an armistice! Surrender Liu Ji, and negotiate peace on the spot! Surrender Uncle Xiang, in exchange for an armistice! Surrender Liu Ji, and negotiate peace on the spot!"

Hearing these orderly and rhythmic shouts, the generals and soldiers of the Western Chu Army couldn't help whispering and discussing in low voices, which affected the morale of the army even more. He smiled bitterly, knowing that countless soldiers of the Western Chu Army would hate him for this.

At the beginning of the time, the Han army made the final pre-war preparations, and Xiang Kang also generously gave the Western Chu army the last chance for peace talks, and sent an envoy to come forward with a white flag in his hand, and issued an ultimatum to the Western Chu army, demanding that the Western Chu army The army immediately handed over Master Xiang and Liu Laosan, who viciously provoked the Chu-Han war, in exchange for truce negotiations. Then, after Master Xiang ordered with a black face to shoot arrows to drive away the Han army envoys, Xiang Kang issued an order to let the Han army soldiers Launch an attack on the unfinished Western Chu army camp.

This is also the first time after several years that the Han army took the initiative to launch a frontal attack on the main force of the Western Chu army led by Xiang Yu. The result made Xiang Kang quite satisfied that although the Western Chu army had already had certain fortifications to defend, The speed and path of the Han army's input were limited, but under the leadership of the fierce general Chongda of the Han army, the Han army still crossed the guard trench dug hastily by the Western Chu army in the first charge, and rushed to only one and a half feet. Under the high Western Chu army base.

The ensuing battle was brutal, bloody and boring. Although the generals of the Han army charged with all their strength, the battalion attacking the camp was ups and downs like waves, but with limited fortification advantages, the powerful Western Chu army The main soldiers still stubbornly blocked the attack of the Han army, so that the battle was always confined to the fortress wall of the Western Chu army. No matter how many times the soldiers of the Han army rushed to the wall that was far less solid and tall than the city wall, it was difficult to advance again. Every step, there is still no hope of breaking through the defense line of the Western Chu army.

But it doesn't matter much, because it is very clear that the main force of the Western Chu Army is strong and good at fighting. Neither Xiang Kang nor Uncle Zhou expected the Han Army to really enter the Western Chu Army's camp on the first day and directly win the decisive battle between Chu and Han. Xiang Kang and Uncle Zhou’s purpose in the first day’s battle was to destroy the outer fortifications of the Western Chu army’s camp, fill in the trenches of the Western Chu army’s guard camp, and not give the Western Chu army the opportunity to continue to strengthen the camp. , Another is to force the Western Chu army to bleed, and take advantage of the opportunity that the Western Chu army's camp is not easy to be attached to, forcing the Western Chu army to confront the self-army and lose troops.

The generals of the Han army also resolutely carried out the tactical plan formulated by the decision-makers of the Han army. From the beginning of the Han army's ant-attached battle, the auxiliary soldiers of the Han army have been carrying sandbags and earth and rocks, constantly throwing sandbags into the trenches In the middle of the war, the trenches were gradually filled up and the roads for advancing troops were gradually widened. The soldiers of the Han army who took turns in the battle had been repeatedly attacking the walls, fighting against the Western Chu army who had little advantage in fortifications, even though the casualties were obviously greater than the Western Chu army. Do whatever it takes.

Of course, the tactics of the Han army were very clumsy. However, what made the generals of the Western Chu army angry was that they had no way to break through the clumsy tactics of the Han army. They could only blindly respond passively. The wall is only more than three meters high (one zhang in Qin Dynasty is two meters and three one), and there is no female wall and arrow stacks. It is very easy for the soldiers of the Han army to rush to their camp, so the soldiers of the Western Chu army under their command have been suffering constant casualties , Even if the battle loss ratio of one for two is played, there will only be a disadvantage in front of the strong Han army.

On the contrary, Xiang Yu looked extremely relaxed, and climbed to the high ground in the camp with injuries. Looking at the soldiers of the Han army who were constantly killed and injured in the battle, Xiang Yu sneered directly, and snorted confidently: "Go on, let's see!" Do you have the ability to break through this king's camp, as long as you can't break through, wait for this king's injury to recover a little, and you can fight again, let's see how this king can kill all of you traitors!"

"Brother! Brother!"

Suddenly, Xiang Zhuang's familiar voice came, and when Xiang Yu turned his head to look, he saw that Xiang Zhuang had come close behind him at some point, his eyes were still bloodshot, his hands were clenched into fists, and his cheeks were as red as an angry bull. , Xiang Yu, who had never seen Xiang Zhuang like this before, was surprised and hurriedly asked: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

"Brother, please go back to the camp of the Chinese army immediately, I have something to tell you!" Xiang Zhuang replied very directly, and added: "It is a very important matter!"

"What could be more important than the Han bandits attacking the camp?" Xiang Yu asked in surprise.

"Brother, don't worry, it's definitely more important than this!" Xiang Zhuang replied more rudely, and even stepped forward to pull Xiang Yu, saying: "Brother, please come with me, I will take you to meet two people, you met They know everything."

After all, he was a cousin who had been born and died for him for many years. Although he was very strange in his heart, Xiang Yu finally returned to the main camp of the Chinese army with Xiang Zhuang. What surprised Xiang Yu even more was that his other two cousins, Xiang Guan and Xiang Han, were at the moment. They were all in the big tent of the Chinese army. In addition, there were two people wearing ordinary soldier clothes kneeling in the big tent of the Chinese army. Then Xiang Yu immediately misunderstood and said pleasantly: "The traitor of the traitor has been caught? So fast? Ah Brother, you are doing well!"

"Brother, they are indeed soldiers of Liu Jipifu's army, but they are not traitors of the traitors." Xiang Zhuang's answer surprised Xiang Yu again, and he kicked another soldier of Liu Laosan, roaring : "Speak! Report to our king what you have explained before!"

"My lord, it has nothing to do with us. We were also forced to do that by Peigong!" The two sergeants of Liu Laosan hurriedly yelled, and then said in detail: "Back then in Hangu Pass, the traitor Xiangkang really There was no order to close the pass, and after the Tyrant Qin army at Hangu Pass switched to attacking the banner of Han thieves, they immediately opened the closed gate and surrendered to us. It was the Duke of Pei who ordered to directly enter the pass, massacred everyone in Hangu Pass, and then announced: It's the Han bandits who sealed the pass, and they are the first to start a war with us!"

Shouting, the two veterans of Liu Laosan, who were carefully selected by Xiang Zhuang and others, told Xiang Yu the truth about the Hangu Pass incident that year, but let Xiang Zhuang, Xiang Guan and Xiang Han What is surprising is that after they finally let the truth out, Xiang Yu's expression was not only without the slightest anger, but on the contrary, he looked extremely calm and calm, as if..., as if he knew this situation a long time ago!
What made Xiang Zhuang and others dumbfounded was still behind. After the two old soldiers of Liu Laosan had fully explained the situation, Xiang Yu suddenly pulled out his sword, raised the sword in his hand and dropped it one by one, killing the two Liu Laosan. Xiang Zhuang, Xiang Han and others were shocked when they saw this, and they all exclaimed: "Brother! What are you doing? This is the witness we finally found?"

"They are the spy agents of the Han thieves. They were bought by the Han thieves to slander and frame Peigong, and to drive a wedge between the king and Peigong." Xiang Yu answered very easily, and said: "You can find them out, and you can do a very good job." Alright, go back and rest, I'll have someone deliver the rewards to you in a while."

"Brother, they are not careful!" Xiang Zhuang hurriedly said: "They are the witnesses we found with great difficulty. The Hangu Pass incident was deliberately framed by Mrs. Liu Jipi. You have wronged Brother Xiang Kang!"

"Brother Xiang Kang?" Xiang Yu gave Xiang Zhuang a cold look, his one-eyed eyes were filled with anger, and he snorted, "Brother, what do you mean by suddenly changing your address?"

"I……."

Xiang Zhuang, who was always afraid of Xiang Yu, didn't dare to answer immediately, but Xiang Yu snorted coldly again: "For the sake of brotherhood, I thought you made a slip of the tongue, this time I don't care about you, but if there is another time, I will never forgive you lightly." Also, the matter of Hangu Pass was not caused by Pei Gong wronging Xiang Kang’s traitor. I had already sent someone to investigate it carefully, and it was exactly the same as what Pei Gong said. You should not investigate this matter again in the future!”

The three brothers Xiang Zhuang, Xiang Guan and Xiang Han were dumbfounded at the same time. After standing there for a while, Xiang Zhuang gradually came to his senses and said tremblingly, "Brother, do you mean that you already knew the truth?"

"Of course I know." Xiang Yu said with a sneer: "But what I know is that Peigong didn't lie to me. The traitor Xiang Kang closed the Hangu Pass in order to monopolize the pass. He didn't want me to lead the princes outside the pass into the pass. Peigong forced him Tackling the key and massacring all the Han thieves in the city of Hangu Pass, you did the right thing and made a great contribution to me.”

"Brother, you..."

"To shut up!"

Xiang Yu finally got angry and roared: "If you are still my brother, don't bother with the Hangu Pass before! How I treat you, and how that traitor Xiang Kang treats you, don't you know? ? Do you still want to avenge your kindness?"

In terms of remuneration, the treatment Xiang Yu gave Xiang Zhuang and others before was indeed countless times better than that of Xiang Kang who was poorly clothed, so after Xiang Yu mentioned this point, Xiang Zhuang, Xiang Han and the others could only keep their mouths shut. , Xiang Yu saw that his roar took effect, so he changed his mouth again, and said: "Go back and rest, when we kill the Han thieves and pacify the world, I will give you kings, and the treatment I will give you in the future will also be the same. Guaranteed to be better than ever."

Unable to accept such a result, Xiang Zhuang, Xiang Han and the others stood still, and Xiang Yu's face soon became gloomy again, and he said coldly, "What? You don't even listen to me? Go back immediately!"

Not daring to disobey Xiang Yu, Xiang Zhuang, Xiang Han and the others had no choice but to resign. However, when they left the command post of the Chinese Army, Xiang Zhuang, Xiang Han and the others' expressions became extremely bewildered, and they couldn't accept Xiang Yu's insistence on helping them. This is the result of Liu Laosan continuing to wrong Xiang Kang.At the same time, looking at the backs of them leaving, Xiang Yu also felt a little bit drummed in his heart, and said to himself: "These three little scorpions, don't they have any ulterior motives? Although they don't have many troops now, it's better for me to be on guard. .”
