Competing

Chapter 181
Yingbu followed the advice of Zhang Han and Sima Xin told by Yin Xu, and took a detour through the mountains to detour the Qin army, and finally conquered Hangu Pass in one fell swoop.

Xiang Yu was finally able to lead the army into Guanzhong, but it was more than half a month later than Peigong Liu Bang.According to the agreement of King Huai of Chu, Liu Bang entered Guanzhong Xianyang one step earlier, and was already the king of Guanzhong in name.

After Xiang Yu heard about it, he was naturally angry and flew into a rage.When the army entered Hangu Pass, he kept his face livid, causing the atmosphere in the entire barracks to be gloomy and depressing.In fact, Xiang Yu values ​​​​and cares about Guanzhong and the title of King of Guanzhong.Before, he was too self-confident and conceited. He was sure that Liu Bang would be afraid of his power and would not take the initiative to advance to the pass. Unexpectedly, things backfired and caused a de facto difficult situation.

In fact, with Xiang Yu's current status, killing Liu Bang and taking back Guanzhong is a piece of cake.But in name, he has already lost his head start. Even if he takes back the throne of Guanzhong King, he will undoubtedly swallow a fly, which makes people extremely disgusting.

Yin Xu sees it in his eyes, his heart is like a mirror, and everything is developing like the track of history.As soon as Liu Bang first entered the pass, Xiang Yu's strength became stronger and more arrogant, and it was inevitable that the two tigers would compete.It can be foreseen that in the days to come, there will definitely be a thunderstorm in Guanzhong. As for the bloody storm, it is hard to say?
Will the classic Hongmen Banquet be staged as always?Yin Xu is wondering?looking forward to?He also has a feeling of being unclear.

Just when Yin Xu was puzzled, Xiang Yu led his army into the customs and stationed at Xinfeng Hongmen. It seemed that everything was developing according to the past history...

On the day Xiang Yu arrived at Xinfeng Hongmen, an unexpected visitor came to the barracks.

"Who?" Xiang Zhuang, who led the army to patrol, found a wandering Chu soldier near the barracks. His red clothes showed that he was a subordinate of Liu Bang, the Duke of Pei.

A man dressed in the uniform of a general of the Pei army stood up and said loudly: "I am the left Sima Cao Wushang in the account of Duke Pei. I need to see the general if there is something urgent, please report it!"

Xiang Zhuang asked suspiciously: "Liu Bang's people? Are you here under orders?"

Cao Wushang waved his hand and said: "No, I hurried here privately, there is an important military situation that needs to be reported to the general!"

Xiang Zhuang still looked at him suspiciously, noncommittal.

Cao Wushang was very anxious, and said separately: "General, please be considerate, I really have something urgent, the matter is very important, I must meet with the general as soon as possible!"

Xiang Zhuang asked: "I am Xiang Zhuang, the younger brother of the general. What's the matter? You can tell me to pass it on."

Cao Wushang shook his head and said: "The matter is very important. I can only reveal that I have a relationship with the King of Guanzhong. Others can only be explained by meeting the general."

Xiang Zhuang saw that Cao Wushang was so persistent, and it was related to Guan Zhongwang's matter. As Xiang Yu's cousin, he naturally knew that his elder brother was upset and worried, so he naturally didn't dare to neglect.After the search, they took Cao Wushang to Xiang Yu's Chinese army camp.

I happened to meet two people on the road——Chen Ping and Xiang Bo. When they saw Xiang Zhuang and a general under Liu Bang, they all showed curiosity. Xiang Bo wondered: "Zhuang Er, who is this?"

Uncle Wenhua, Xiang Zhuang didn't dare not answer, and respectfully said: "This is Liu Bang Zuo Sima, I have something important to see my elder brother!"

Uncle Xiang also had a hint of sadness on his face, his eyes couldn't help but look westward, and he didn't know what he was thinking...

After Chen Ping heard it, a perplexed expression appeared on his face, countless thoughts came to his mind, and his exquisite heart quickly planned... After Xiang Bo broke up, he hurriedly went to meet someone in secret!

Xiang Zhuang just said goodbye, and took Cao Wushang into the Chinese army tent, just as Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng were there.

"Brother, Yafu, this man came from Liu Bang's army and said he wanted to see you on important matters!"

"Oh?" Both Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng looked puzzled, their eyes full of searching.

Cao Wushang took the risk to come here, naturally he had a plan, seeing the rightful lord at this time, he naturally cherished the opportunity, and immediately rushed forward and said: "The last general, the left Sima Cao Wushang, see the general!"

"Cao Wushang? Are you from Liu Bang? Why are you here?" Xiang Yuwen's tone was heavy, making people feel pressured.

Cao Wushang collected his mind, and replied neither humble nor overbearing: "It is true that Liu Bang was a general in the past, but now he is no longer. As for wanting to serve under the command of the general in the future!"

Xiang Yu pretended to be puzzled and said: "Serve me? What are your abilities? Can you let me take you in?"

Cao Wushang said: "Wu Shang is willing to sit down and do the work of a dog and horse for the general. It is an honor for me to run errands. At this moment, I will bring an important news to the general."

Fan Zeng's deep eyes flickered, and he asked intently: "What important news? Let the old man hear it first."

Cao Wu smiled sadly, and replied: "About Pei Gong, it has something to do with the King of Guanzhong!"

As soon as Liu Bang and the King of Guanzhong were mentioned, Xiang Yu's eyes were full of anger, and his eyes almost burst into anger.Fan Zeng's deep and distant eyes showed a slight wave, his mouth moved slightly, and he asked, "What news? Tell me!"

Seeing the expressions of Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng, Cao Wu secretly rejoiced in sadness, knowing that he had come to the right place.He said happily: "Liu Bang entered Xianyang, accepted Ziying's surrender, and discussed with the deployment. He wanted to make Ziying his prime minister and himself the king of Guanzhong!"

The expected news, the pupils of Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng still suddenly dilated a little, afraid of what is coming, Liu Bang still wants to be called the king of Guanzhong?To even use Ziying as a relative is obviously trying to buy people's hearts.

Liu Bang, oh Liu Bang!Knowing that I am coming, you still have the guts to be hot, hello!Xiang Yu's face had turned livid, extremely gloomy.

Fan Zeng nodded secretly, already thinking about something in his mind.

Cao Wushang did not lose the opportunity to say: "Ziying is the former King of Qin, he raped Qin's enemies and chieftains, Liu Bang actually wanted to use him as a position. He is really responsible for the entrustment of Chu Ende and Wanmin, and the general thinks it is wrong, but no one speaks lightly, and there is no way to dissuade him. After thinking about it, the general is the best in the past and the present, and you are the only one who can command the coalition forces of the princes, so I used the excuse of going out of the camp and came to meet the general."

In fact, what is Xiang Yu thinking? Cao Wushang has already grasped some points, deliberately speaking about him in such a way, and talking about him in a high-sounding manner.Xiang Yu listened to Shu Tan, and he himself transformed from a villain into a courtier who cared about the country and the people, loyal to the emperor and serving the country.

Fan Zeng asked: "Are you sure Liu Bang wants to use Ziying as his prime minister? Call him the king of Guanzhong?"

Cao Wushang nodded and said: "Yes, it should be Zhou Bo's suggestion, Liu Bang also agreed, and the general just happened to hear it by accident, so I'm sure."

"What is Liu Bang doing now?" Fan Zeng was very concerned about this.

Cao Wushang said: "Originally, Jin had already entered Xianyang City, the imperial palace of the Qin State. Then Liu Bang suddenly ordered the treasury to be sealed off. Qiu Wucheng withdrew from Xianyang and returned to the army. He also had to make three chapters with the people of Xianyang!"

Three chapters of the covenant?
In Xianyang City, Liu Bang accepted Zhang Liang's suggestion, sealed off the treasury and the palace, led his army to withdraw from Xianyang City, and returned to the Bashang.

Seeing countless treasures hidden behind the disappearing gate, Fan Kui couldn't bear to part with it, sighed, and closed the heavy gate.

Lu Zhi watched the prosperity and wealth end with him in less than half a day, and it turned into a cloud of flashy smoke, and he couldn't help sighing and weeping.Liu Bang couldn't bear to see it, so he had to comfort him softly.Thinking that he entered Guanzhong first, but had to compromise and withdraw because of Xiang Yu's huge threat, powerful humiliation and helplessness came to his heart together.

Liu Bang secretly vowed that even if he is humiliated and steals his life today, he must save his life and gain time and place to grow and develop.Xiang Yu must be defeated in the future, and Yixue will be humiliated today.For this belief in hatred, Liu Bang had the perseverance, the impulsiveness, and the triumphant smile after victory.

The fiefdoms of Hanzhong and Bashu, which were humiliatingly sought, entered Bashu through the plank road, recuperated and developed in the barren land.One trick is to repair the plank road and cross Chencang secretly, return to Guanzhong to defeat the three kings of Qin, and leave Hangu Pass.Then impulsively led the army to approach Pengcheng, and was defeated by Xiang Yu!Xingyang confronted each other, Chu and Han fought for hegemony, and in the end Xiang Yu was forced to defeat, and Wujiang committed suicide.

Everything may be related to today's encouragement to know shame and be brave.

Withdrawing from Xianyang City, the only thing that has never been relaxed is the secret monitoring and custody of the Qin clan.Ziying and two sons have always been the top priority, so that some people's plans and actions to secretly save people all ended in failure. It's really sad!

Then Liu Bang led his army to withdraw from Xianyang City, and he did not commit any crimes in autumn.Liu Bang has always paid attention to this aspect. From the beginning of the army in his hometown to this time when he led the army westward to Guanzhong, he has always had a good reputation, so he has lost the name of benevolence and righteousness.

It is precisely because of this that the soldiers of Wuguan offered to surrender on their own initiative, so Prince Ying of Qin would not prefer to be broken than to be whole, and chose to surrender himself, avoiding a killing and a war.

Before leaving the city, Liu Bang also did one more thing, which was to make three chapters with the people in Guanzhong.Liu Bangyan said: "The Tyrant Qin ruled the world with legalism, and ruled the people with severe punishments and laws. The people's lives were so miserable that people complained. Now that the Tyrant Qin has perished, the harsh criminal laws of the Tyrant Qin should not continue to exist. .Today when the rebels arrive in Xian and Yang, these harsh punishments must be abolished."

The old land of Qin State has been governed by the rule of law since the reform of Shang Yang. The people have been used to this kind of life for hundreds of years, so there is no serious problem.Moreover, although the original Qin laws were strict, they emphasized clear rewards and punishments, which stimulated the enthusiasm of the soldiers of the Qin army to fight bravely on the battlefield.

However, after Qin Ershi Hu Hai and Zhao Gao came to power, they perverted the law, levying miscellaneous taxes in a mess, and inexplicable crimes emerged endlessly.For example, ten sons and princesses were torn apart in Du Youche, and the sheer blood was so bloody that the people in Guanzhong were terrified.

Now Liu Bang said that there are three chapters in the contract law, but there are only three chapters. The people in Guanzhong are naturally very excited and look forward to the content.

Liu Bangzhong burned the bamboo slips of the laws of the Qin State, and announced the three chapters of the agreement: the murderer shall die, and the wounding and theft shall be punished.

The most simple and reasonable law, the people of Xianyang applauded, Liu Bang's prestige and praise quickly won the hearts of the people...

Then Liu Bang led his army out of the city and stationed in Bashang, waiting to deal with Xiang Yu...
