Competing

Chapter 189 The Second Guest

At this moment, neither Liu Bang nor Zhang Liang had thought of such a distant future, and the things that made them anxious had not yet been dealt with, so how could they have the mind and mood to take care of other things.Let's talk about everything after dealing with Xiang Yu!
Liu Bang sighed: "It's all a group of short-sighted boys who persuaded me to enter Wuguan earlier, occupy the land in the middle of the pass and become the king, and that's why I ended up in such a field!"

Zhang Liang shook his head and said, "Does Peigong think our army can resist Xiang Yu's army? So the key to this matter..."

Mentioning the crux of this matter, Zhang Liang said softly: "Pei Gong, this matter can turn around thanks to Mr. Xiang Bo. At this moment, he is still in the camp below. Should Pei Gong meet?"

With a tactful reminder, Liu Bang immediately realized that he had to rely on many parties to mediate from Xiang Bo, so naturally he should entertain and win over.Immediately smiled and asked: "Please hurry up, please, Bang must thank Mr. Xiang Bo for his great kindness! Mr. Zifang, who is older, you or Mr. Xiang Bo?"

Zhang Liang replied, "Brother Xiang is older than Zhang Liang!"

Liu Bang said with a smile: "Then Mr. Lao invites Mr. Xiang Bo to come here as he treats his elder brother. Bang wants to treat his respected elder brother!"

Zhang Liang smiled in his heart, and took the order to come out, saying that he could bend and stretch, and responded immediately, Xiang Yu was far worse than Liu Bang!
Not long after, Zhang Liang led Xiang Bo to come.At that time, Liu Bang was taking off his shoes and reading a book with a roll of bamboo slips in front of the stove.Liu Bang, who was born as the head of the pavilion in Surabaya, had limited knowledge. His wife Lu Zhi was indeed born in a famous family in Shanfu County. She was a veritable talented woman who read poetry and books since childhood.

After getting married, he urged Liu Bang to read and read many times, especially after he raised troops against Qin and did great things, he urged him even more tightly.Liu Bang also knew the importance of knowledge, so he acted according to orders and often kept his hands on the scroll.Of course, what he did tonight was naturally a fake!
Xiang Yu's enemy is currently under unprecedented pressure. It would be strange if Liu Bang could still calm down and study.Naturally, this move was to put on a show and show it to Uncle Xiang, so as to convey a message to Xiang Yu. Liu Bang felt at ease and had a clear conscience.

Seeing Zhang Liang dragging a man in his fifties in, he took a look at his appearance and noticed that it was Uncle Xiang whom he often saw in the past, Xiang Yu's uncle.

Without waiting for Zhang Liang to introduce, and without allowing Bo Xiang to greet him, Liu Bang immediately got up and rushed over.In a hurry, the shoes were put on backwards, and Liu Bang didn't realize it. He greeted Xiang Bo with a smile and said, "The night is cold and frosty, and Mr. Xiang came all night. I am Liu Bang for this kindness..." Liu Bang called suddenly. Sneezed, rubbed his nose pretendingly, and said: "I, Liu Bang, was very touched, and I will remember it in my heart..."

Liu Bang's behavior is just one word-pretending!

Obviously, he took off the shoes on purpose and put them on backwards. The purpose was to achieve an effect - to welcome them backwards!This is already an extremely noble understanding, making Xiang Bo feel that he respects him from the bottom of his heart, and his enthusiasm for feasting is unparalleled.

Although this approach is a formality, it often has a very effective effect in buying people's hearts. Compared with real money, it is more enjoyable for high-ranking officials and generous salary.At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao fought against Guandu. When Cao Cao was at a disadvantage and was frowning, Xu You, an important adviser under Yuan Shao, came.Cao Cao was overjoyed immediately, and ran barefoot to meet him. Xu You was very moved when he saw it, and naturally he was loyal to him.

Speaking of it, Cao Cao still learned from Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han family. Although the two forms are slightly different, they have the same effect. (In fact, "Welcome Upside Down" comes from Cai Yong in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and this is a fictional novel!)
As for the sneezing, it is natural that the situation is greater than the content, and he pretends to be sick to receive guests.Needless to say, in this way, Liu Bang's pictogram has become much taller, and his impression in Xiang Bo's center has also increased a lot.The effect achieved is naturally multiplied with half the effort and increased several times!
Zhang Liang secretly laughed in his heart, Liu Bang is Liu Bang after all, he just knows how to do things!Although these little tricks have the nature of deception, the effect of doing things in a hurry is unexpected.

Only then did Xiang Bo greet him and said: "I have met Pei Gong, Pei Gong is too polite!"

With a warm smile on his face, Liu Bang reached out and pulled Xiang Bo's sleeve to let him sit down, then poured a glass of wine himself, and brought it to him!

Liu Bang said with a smile: "Brother came here with deep affection and meaning. Liu Bang has nothing to repay, so I will offer you a glass of wine first!"

Liu Peigong was extremely polite, and even praised Uncle Xiang to the sky. Uncle Xiang couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.You must know that even though he is Xiang Yu's uncle, he can be regarded as a person of high status and great face.

But at this moment, Liu Bang can be said to be second only to Xiang Yu, the number two person in the world, pouring wine for himself with such a respected status, this kind of courtesy, Xiang Bo has never encountered.At this moment, seeing Liu Bang's attitude, taking the wine glass tremblingly, he was so excited that he couldn't speak.

At the same time, an idea popped up in his subconscious mind.As an uncle himself, it is reasonable to persuade his nephew, even if it is teaching and admonishing.However, Xiang Yu didn't buy it at all, and instead sneered at his own uncle, noncommittal.And Liu Bang, an irrelevant outsider, treated him so politely, and the world's biggest gap appeared in his subconscious.

Xiang Bo was attracted by Liu Bang's enthusiasm, so he didn't think much about these things at all, so he naturally didn't care about the information entering his mind. His subconscious mind had already begun to affect his thinking and emotional bias!
Liu Bangdao: "I heard that Mr. has a young son who is about the same age as his little girl. If Mr. doesn't dislike him, let the little girl take Liu Bang's place to respect his elder brother and his predecessor!"

About the son and daughter of the Qin family, Uncle Xiang was a little abrupt, and agreed in a daze under Zhang Liang's persuasion.In fact, Xiang Bo impulsively realized that his behavior was a little inappropriate, and he also realized that Liu Bang's behavior was purposeful, but he did not express dissatisfaction or rejection of it.

The reason is still Xiang Yu. In fact, Xiang Yu did not listen to his dissuasion in Xin'an, and Xiang Bo was more, uh, a kind of frustration rather than dissatisfaction.In his heart, his nephew Xiang Yu still loves him more. The reason why he promised Zhang Liang to come to see Liu Bang is that the most sincere thought in his heart is to prevent his nephew from doing stupid things that affect bad things again.

He decided that killing Liu Bang would have a worse impact on Xiang Yu's reputation and situation.So driven by a moment of special love, Xiang Bo made some actions that may be somewhat incomprehensible.

With the relationship of children and in-laws, the distance between each other has been shortened by a big step.Liu Bang said in a deep voice: "I'm sorry to bother you to persuade the general. Liu Bang entered Guanzhong to drive away thieves and prevent others from stealing money, and to guard the pass for the general. As for the words of setting up Ziying as a prime minister, most of them were instigated by villains. It's nonsense, you can't believe it!"

Liu Bang continued: "Tomorrow morning Liu Bang will go to Hongmen to apologize and explain to the general!"

The banquet was held in the evening, and Liu Bang went there in the morning, further "proving" that he had no guilt in his heart.Uncle Xiang agreed naturally, and promised to help secretly at Hongmen tomorrow.

Only then did Liu Bang and Zhang Liang let out a sigh of relief, and happily sent off Xiang Bo, but they did not expect to welcome a second unexpected guest...
