Competing

Chapter 180 Chapter [-]

Ziying became the king of Qin on the 46th. After Liu Bang, the general of Chu, entered Guanzhong, he knelt on the left side of Xianyang Road, presented the tiger talisman for dispatching troops and the jade seal of Chuanguo, and surrendered to Liu Bang.This is an epoch-making historical moment, marking the complete end of the rule of the Qin Dynasty.

A vassal state that has existed for hundreds of years, dominated the western frontier for many years, and then unified the world, and a Qin Dynasty that enjoyed the world and ruled for more than ten years.It took only three years, under the impact of the wave of peasant uprisings, it was quickly torn apart, and it has completely disintegrated today.

The end of one era heralds the beginning of another!
Now the temporary owner of Guanzhong is Liu Bang, the Duke of Pei. He accepted the surrender of Prince Qin, and entered Xian and Yangcheng in brocade clothes.Fan Kuai and Zhou Bo also mobilized troops and horses in time to bring Qin Guoguo into actual control.

It also formally completed the covenant among the kings of Chu Huai, the agreement of the king who first overcomes Guanzhong and enters Xian and Yang.From a legal and moral point of view, Liu Bang is now the nominal king of Guanzhong.It's just that this is an era that relies on force and strength to speak. Chuhuai King Xiong Xin has been completely reduced to a puppet, and his agreement has no effect.

Whether the king of Guanzhong can sit on it, whether he can sit firmly, all depends on one person-General Xiang Yu.However, at this moment, Liu Bang is in the incomparably complacent, and has already thrown this incident out of the blue.

Standing at the gate of Xianyang Palace, the majestic palace, the tall buildings with cornices, are magnificent and majestic.Hundreds of steps are the ladder to power, and the majestic momentum puts heavy pressure on people.Only by standing on the top of the steps can one overlook everything and look down on the world.

Liu Bang walked up step by step, with so many emotions in his heart that he couldn't explain clearly!After climbing to the top, open the door and enter the hall.

The resplendent and resplendent Xianyang Palace is extravagant, with giant trees forming pillars and surrounded by golden dragons, dazzling.When Liu Bang and others entered it, they were all shocked, why don't they keep their mouths open!
Fan Kui stared intently at the magnificence in front of him, and sighed: "Look at the king of Qin, what a life he is living!"

"Yes, the majestic palace, the spacious and bright hall, the brocade curtains, and the gold and copper vessels are all so beautifully made..."

"The treasury is full of gold and silver treasures, and there is no other place in the world to match them!"

……

One after another exclamation sounded in my ears, Liu Bang walked up to the high throne of King Qin, stroking King Qin's case.Think about Qin Shihuang sitting here that day, giving orders and letting Qin's army wipe out the six countries.It is here to accept the worship and surrender of the whole world.Now that the jade seal and tiger amulet is in his hands, he is about to sit here.

Liu Bang's eyes were complicated, his heart was surging, his legs moved slightly, his knees bent slowly, and he was about to sit on the coveted throne.

At the moment when Liu Peigong was about to sit down, someone came, and it was Zhang Liang and Zhang Zifang who he had been thinking about day and night!
"Mr. Zifang, you came in time!" Fan Kui immediately greeted him with a smile.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Liang kept a calm face and walked towards Liu Bang in a hurry without saying a word.

Fan Kui stared, puzzled, what happened to Mr. Jia Zifang, who is usually polite and polite?
Xiao He showed a hint of a smile, some things are not enough for him alone, it would be fine if Mr. Ovary came.

Seeing Zhang Liang's arrival suddenly, Liu Bang said pleasantly, "Mr. Zifang, Mr. Bang has been thinking about it day and night and finally waited for him."

Zhang Liang's reaction was unusually indifferent. He bowed his head and said solemnly, "Pei Gong, Zhang Liang hurry up, after all, he is still one step late!"

Liu Bang wanted to say: It's not too late, just in time!But seeing Zhang Liang's expression, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and asked calmly, "Mr. Zifang, what's wrong?"

Zhang Liang seemed to be complaining, and said, "Pei Gong, why didn't you listen to Zifang's advice? You have been waiting for so long, why didn't you wait a little longer?"

A pot of cold water was poured over his head, Liu Bang came to his senses, remembered Zhang Liang's entrustment, and thought of Xiang Yu outside Hangu Pass...

Xiao He also said: "Pei Gong, Xianyang's wealth is too tempting, we have forgotten many things..."

Zhang Liangdao: "Pei Gong, you shouldn't have entered Guanzhong so quickly. Even if you entered Guanzhong, you would not enter Xianyang Palace! Xiang Yu killed Xin'an and tried to deter the world. At this time, he entered Guanzhong first. The timing is not good. How could Xiang Yu Will you let it go? I'm afraid this encounter will be a bit difficult, and we need to deal with him carefully to fight for some chances of survival."

Liu Bang, Xiao He and others could tell that although Zhang Liang said lightly, the degree of difficulty was incalculable, and they all blamed themselves for being reckless.

Just listen to Zhang Liang continued: "Of course, when Peigong entered Guanzhong, it was the general of Wuguan Qin who surrendered. Ziying surrendered with his seal this time, which shows the aspirations of the people in Guanzhong and Peigong's prestige and good reputation. What the people want is related to the country. Basically, Xiang Yu's cruelty made Peigong's benevolence and righteousness more prominent, so this kind of benevolence and righteousness should be deepened and lasted for a longer period of time!"

Cao Shen asked, "Mr. Zifang, how should we continue?"

This...Liu Bang quickly thought of something, and asked in a deep voice: "What should I do now? Please help me, sir!"

Zhang Liang was very pleased. Liu Bang was very good at this, he was willing to listen to people's suggestions, and he was good at accepting advice.Said: "Pei Gong did not kill Ziying and the ministers of the Qin clan are right, but this is far from enough!"

Hearing what Zhang Liang said, Fan Kui couldn't help but blush again.My thoughts on this kind of matter are too simple, reckless and impulsive.

Zhang Liang continued: "The entry of a large army into Xianyang City will make the people in Guanzhong afraid. After all, Peigong and Xiang Yu belong to the same Chu ministers. The upper-level officials and soldiers know about it, but ordinary people don't. They will have a natural fear and resistance to the Chu army. It's not me. Wait for what you want!"

"So stationing the army in the city is not the best choice. It is better to leave the city. We need to find another way to let the people in Guanzhong understand the difference between Pei Gong and Xiang Yu. Let them know the benefits of Pei Gong, appreciate Pei Gong's benevolence and kindness, and win the hearts of the people. .”

Everyone nodded unconsciously, feeling that Zhang Liang's words were quite reasonable, and they all quietly listened to Mr. Zifang's continued explanation.

"Moreover, after entering Xianyang City, immediately entering the Qin Palace, it is inevitable that people will be misunderstood. The Qin Palace is famous for its opulence and luxury. It is well known in the world. After the destruction of the Six Kingdoms , there are countless beauties and concubines, and the newly-built Afang Palace is even worse. This is definitely the most intoxicating and gentle township in the world! However, Hu Hai, the second emperor of the Qin Dynasty, was in a state of drunkenness, a lesson from the past! Dare to ask Peigong and the generals to enter Xianyang Is the palace a little comfortable and floating?"

Liu Bang knew that what Zhang Liang said was true, and when he entered Xianyang Palace, he was attracted by the supreme power.Countless wealth and treasures are tempting, and the countless beauties in the harem also make people salivate.Being in it, I was indeed a little bit smug and carried away.

If Zhang Liang hadn't arrived in time, he would wake himself up.Fearing that he would be waiting for Xiang Yu to kill him in this drunken dream, thinking of the cold sweat dripping from Liu Peigong's back.Liu Bang is like this, let alone the generals.If it weren't for their infinite desire and constant invitation to fight, Liu Bang would not have decided to enter Guanzhong so quickly.The wealth and prosperity of Xianyang has made him a little carried away and lost his way, so that he has forgotten his original intention and the danger around him.

Zhang Liang continued: "It's one thing that makes people lose their fighting spirit. On the other hand, it will make the people in Guanzhong misunderstand that Pei Gong is trying to steal the treasures and goods in Xianyang Palace, and that Pei Gong is a person who is content with pleasure. Misunderstandings will be difficult to change, and then there will be conflicts in the heart. Many things that have been painstakingly worked on before will be in vain."

"More than that, Xiang Yu's army has already arrived at Hangu Pass, and it is only a matter of time before he enters the pass. Now we have to think about how to deal with him! It is not easy to keep the title of King of Guanzhong, but his own life and this are finally developing. strength, but the righteousness and reputation won by taking risks cannot be lost casually!"

When they heard that the title of King of Guanzhong could not be kept, everyone including Liu Bang looked disappointed. They did not expect that all the hard work would be in vain after all!But they also knew that what Zhang Liang said was correct, if they were greedy for temporary power, it would be a dead end.

At this moment, they had to admire Zhang Liang's intelligence and long-term vision.They are no longer jealous of Peigong's trust and respect for Mr. Zifang.

Zhang Liang said: "At this time, it is necessary to plan ahead and make plans early. From now on, it has shown a gesture that Pei Gong entered Guanzhong not to win the throne of Guanzhong King. It was to completely destroy the Tyrant Qin and guard Guanzhong for Xiang Yu. Not to be stolen by others!"

Fan Kui was skeptical when he heard this, and said, "Even if we do this, will it work? Will Xiang Yu believe it?"

Knowing his concerns, Zhang Liang shook his head and said, "It's up to him to believe it or not, but this is what we have to do."

Liu Bang nodded and asked, "Sir, how should we proceed?"

Zhang Liang suggested: "Three chapters of the agreement, seal the treasury, leave Xianyang, and return to the army!"

This……

Zhang Liang explained: "This is a strategy that kills two birds with one stone. It can win the hearts of the people in Guanzhong and explain Xiang Yu to Xiang Yu in the future..."

___________
At this time, Xiang Yu's army was fighting fiercely at Hangu Pass.Xiang Yu was not as lucky as Liu Bang. Not only did the defenders of Hangu Pass not voluntarily surrender like the defenders of Wuguan, but their defense and resistance were also extremely fierce.

The reason was the adverse impact of Xin'an's killing and surrender. The guards of Wuguan were afraid of Xiang Yu's brutality. It happened that Liu Bang, who was known for his benevolence and righteousness, was outside the pass, and he made such a choice after weighing the pros and cons.Hangu Pass is different. What they are directly facing is the coalition of hundreds of thousands of princes led by Xiang Yu.

The guards at Hangu Pass felt the most intimate threat. Zhang Han surrendered voluntarily, and Xiang Yu treated the surrendered soldiers harshly and killed all 20 people.What if you surrender yourself?They don't have a savior like Liu Bang, and they are still dead after all.

It is simply a death, it is better to fight to the death than to be killed by Xiang Yu.It is better to die on the battlefield than to die under Xiang Yu's butcher's knife.Therefore, the reactions of Wuguan and Hanguguan were completely different, and Xiang Yu's army suffered unprecedented fierce resistance.

The army continued to fight for several days at Hangu Pass, but it was still difficult to advance. Xiang Yu couldn't help being anxious and angry.The princes of various countries were first sent to attack with all their strength, but after no results, Yingbu's troops were sent.General Yin's experience was quite happy and quiet, with only 1000 personal bodyguards, he was naturally unable to fight on the battlefield.It is Fan Yafu's usual trick to use force to fight and kill with a knife.

The fighting at Hangu Pass was in full swing, Yin Xu didn't care at all, and his mind was all on Wei Guo in the east.Pu Jun and Su Jiao led 3 people to stay in Xin'an, which is his last and all capital, which is very important.

Fortunately, Pu Jun is talented enough, he is alert and prudent, and he will definitely live up to his expectations.There is also Wei Gong in Daliang, and his beloved beauty.In fact, there is another reason why Pu Jun was left behind, which is inconvenient to explain, and that is because of Yuniang.

Now that Wei Bao is also fighting with Xiang Yu, Yuniang (Bo Ji) is safe in Daliang, so this matter has the opportunity to take a long-term view.well!I hope that when I return from Guanzhong, I can hear the good news from Pu Jun!
The princes' army and Yingbu attacked head-on for days, and the battle was fierce, but with little effect.Yin Xu didn't want to see his former brothers in such a difficult situation, so he went to Zhang Han privately and asked if there was a secret path.Familiar with many ancient battles, the key to such a broken city is the existence, so Yin Xu asked casually.

Unexpectedly, it was really good luck, because Yin Xu had helped the State of Qin plead for mercy, so Zhang Han readily told him that there was indeed such a way.Sima Xin was able to escape from Guanzhong smoothly that day, and it was precisely because of this that he left without anyone noticing, thus successfully avoiding the Qin defenders.

After Yin Xu learned about it, he came to Yingbu's camp at night.

"Brother Ying!"

"Come east!" Seeing Yin Xu's appearance, Ying Bu relaxed his frown slightly, and beckoned him to sit down.

After Yin Xu took his seat, he asked softly, "Brother Ying, are you still worrying about Hangu Pass?"

Yingbu smiled bitterly and sighed: "Isn't it? Hangu Pass has been fought for nearly ten days, but the pass is dangerous and the Qin army resisted fiercely. It is not easy to break through the city!"

Yin Xu knew it well, and asked with concern: "Is there a lot of casualties among the soldiers?"

Yingbo frowned and sighed: Isn't it?The princes of other countries suffered a lot of casualties!Only the army of Chu State remained calm!What happened to my brother is not much better than yours! "

Fan Zeng's strategy of killing people with a knife, Ying Bu is not stupid, so he can see clearly.There was also resentment in my heart, and it was necessary to be on guard. Because I had the same experience as Yin Xu, the two began to fight side by side when Peng Lize was a bandit and avoided the Qin army to suppress the bandits. People are deeper.Therefore, Yingbo does not shy away from it, and pointing it out so bluntly can be regarded as a heart-to-heart.

Yin Xu sighed: "People have to bow their heads under the eaves, so bear with it first!"

Ying Bu smiled wryly and said, "When will it be? The Hangu Pass just in front of me gives me a headache. I really don't know what to do. I'm afraid of delaying the military situation when it's late, alas!"

General Yin knew his embarrassment, and it was for this reason that he just pursed his lips and smiled without saying a word.

Seeing his confident smile, Ying Bu knew that Yin Xusu had a clever plan, and was pleasantly surprised, and asked, "Could it be that you have a solution when you come from the east? Tell me quickly!"

"Little brother does have a plan, and I'm here to relieve elder brother's worries!" He said in a low voice about the secret trail that Zhang Han and Sima Xin had told.

Yingbu was very happy after hearing this, and said gratefully: "At this time, I will remember it in my heart for the Brotherhood, and I will repay it in the future!"

Yin Xu smiled and said, "Brother, what did you say? You and I have known each other for many years, and now we are brothers in trouble. It is right to help each other. What's the point of trivial matters?"

As they spoke, the two looked at each other and laughed, very happy!

After walking out of Yingbo's camp, Yin Xu felt very happy.He and Yingbo had known each other for a long time and had a very close relationship. At this moment, helping him when he was in trouble was undoubtedly a timely help.Although he said that it was nothing to worry about, Yin Xu knew that Yingbo was a person who valued promises and friendship, and he would probably help him when he encountered difficulties in the future.

In the years to come, Jiujiang Wang Yingbu will play a pivotal role in the struggle between Chu and Han, and there are only benefits and no harm in making friends earlier.

Yingbu got Yin Xu's advice, and on the second day he still attacked with a large number of troops, attracting the attention of the Qin army.Another elite team was sent to lurk on the mountain along the small road of Hangu Pass, and make a sudden attack around the back of the Qin army.As a result, Qin's defense line at Hangu Pass, which had been standing for more than ten days, was defeated in one fell swoop, and the strong east gate of Qin State was opened to the coalition forces of the princes.But compared to Wuguan in the southeast, it was quite a few days later.

Xiang Yu was very happy when Hangu Pass was conquered, but Fan Zeng always had that expression of joy and anger, no one knew what he was thinking?
Just when Xiang Yu laughed heartily and was about to lead the army all the way to Xian and Yang, an unfortunate news came.

Half a month ago, the general guarding Wuguan took the initiative to surrender. Peigong Liu Bang surrendered without a fight, took Wuguan without bloodshed, and entered Guanzhong.

An indisputable fact was before him that Liu Bang finally entered Guanzhong first.Even more depressing, in the two battles between Lan and Tian, ​​Liu Bang won complete victories.The most terrible thing is that Prince Qin surrendered to Liu Bang by presenting the Jade Seal Soldier Talisman.

Hearing this news, Xiang Yu was naturally a little furious. He couldn't figure out why he was under such a huge advantage.The great reputation and arrogance spread all over the world, and the princes of all countries walked forward on their knees. No one dared to look up, surrender and flatter. Liu Bang, a little Pei Gong, is so ignorant!

He thought that under the shock of his own prestige and military exploits, Liu Bang would not dare to act rashly, even if he arrived at the foot of Wuguan City, he would not dare to enter without authorization.Unexpectedly, after waiting for more than ten days, Liu Bang still resisted the temptation of the king of Guanzhong and entered.

The most exasperating thing is that Wuguan did not make any resistance and surrendered voluntarily, so Liu Bang took a big advantage.However, the Hangu Pass that I faced was resisted to the death. Why is there such a big difference?

And Prince Qin, who is too ignorant, doesn't he know who is the Chu country now... Should it be said who is the master of the six eastern countries?Even if you want to surrender, you should surrender to yourself. How can you surrender to Liu Bang?
From this moment on, Xiang Yu hated Ziying completely. After entering Guanzhong, he killed Ziying and almost killed all the clan of Qin State.

Pregnant Ziying surrendered, but Liu Bang accepted, what is he?Are you qualified to accept the surrender of King Qin?Tiger Talisman and Chuanguo Yuxi are also his possessions?Thinking of these things, Xiang Yu was filled with anger.

In this way, Xiang Yu, who was burning with anger, led the coalition forces of the princes into Guanzhong.A storm is about to blow in Qinchuan, eight hundred miles away!
