Competing

Chapter 564
The worst thing happened!

The ears of everyone in the hall buzzed, how could this be?
Zhang Liang smiled wryly in his heart. He was still worried about this just now, but he didn't expect it to happen in a blink of an eye. It seemed that he was doomed.

Han Wang Liu Bang was a little dumbfounded sitting there, what should he do?How to do?How to do?Liu Bang kept asking himself in his heart.

Obviously, this incident made people at a loss, extremely panic and helpless.

At this time, Liu Bang's eyes just fell on Zhang Liang, and only Mr. Zifang might be able to help him at this time.

"Mr. Zifang..." Liu Bang didn't say it clearly, but the meaning couldn't be more clear.

Zhang Liang hesitated a little, looked around the crowd inadvertently, and then said: "King of Han, let's go to the top of the city to have a look!"

"Okay!" Whoever Liu Bang was, he could tell that Zhang Liang had something to say to him in private.

"Mr. Zifang, what is the countermeasure?" Liu Bang almost asked Zhang Liang to walk side by side during the period from the palace to the city tower.

Zhang Liang lowered his voice and said, "King of Han, do you want to save the Grand Duke's life?"

"This... this is natural!" Liu Bang smiled wryly in his heart. Could there be another answer?

Zhang Liangdao: "That's good, no matter what demands and threats Xiang Yu puts forward for a while, the King of Han just don't agree to it!"

"But what if Xiang Yu threatens the lives of the widow's family?" Liu Bang asked aloud.

Zhang Liang explained: "Hanwang's family is Xiang Yu's bargaining chip. The more Hanwang seems to care, the more proud Xiang Yu will be, and the more serious he will be. The Hanwang can only temporarily harden his heart and ignore it, but Xiang Yu will not easily hurt them."

"Would it be?" Liu Bang wondered, "Really?"

Zhang Liangdao: "Probably so, and now we can only try this. Is the King of Han going to be coerced by Xiang Yu to surrender?"

When he asked the key point in one sentence, Liu Bang's heart moved, and he had already made a decision on which is more important.

Zhang Liang saw it and remained silent. Under such circumstances, Liu Bang had no choice...

Liu Bang stood on the top of the city and took a look at the past, feeling shocked in his heart.

The elite army of the Western Chu Kingdom lined up neatly outside the city of Xingyang, majestic, and felt a strong deterrence and pressure from afar.No wonder the Han army couldn't resist the attack of the Western Chu army. Seeing this formation, Liu Bang felt a little timid in his heart, let alone those ordinary soldiers.

At present, these are not the key points. Liu Bang looked intently, and a high platform had been erected directly in front of the city tower.

A large iron pot was set up, and a raging fire was already ignited underneath. Steam was constantly overflowing from the mouth of the pot, and the water was heating up.

Outside the iron pot, several tall, short, fat and thin people, men and women, young and old, were tied up. They were the wives and children of Liu Bang, the king of Han.

Beside the high platform, a mighty middle-aged man was riding on a horse, staring coldly at the head of Xingyang city. It was Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu.

The distance between the city tower and the high platform is just right, just outside the range of Feather Arrow.In fact, even if it is within the range, which Han army would dare to shoot arrows casually?If it hurts Han Wang's family, it will be a crime of death.

"Listen, Liu Bang, this is your wife, children, and children. They were brought to you today. Why don't you open the door to welcome them?" Xiang Yu's bold voice sounded from downstairs.

One sentence made Liu Bang a little speechless, Zhang Liang whispered a few words in his ear, and then Liu Bang shouted: "Xiang Yu, are you giving it away?"

"Why not?" Xiang Yu sneered and said, "Hanwang's parents, brothers, sister-in-law, wife and children are here. In order to deliver them safely, the widow personally leads a hundred thousand troops to escort them. How can the Hanwang refuse people thousands of miles away? I don't know that the Hanwang is cold-blooded." , or are these people not related by blood to the King of Han? If the King of Han has no intention of welcoming them, I will have no choice but to cook these people to death!"

"Xiang Yu, you are a coward, and you actually attacked women, children, old and young?" Liu Bang was very anxious, standing on the top of the wall and shouting.

Xiang Yu sneered loudly and said: "Compared with the King of Han, he doesn't care about the life and death of his parents, brothers, sisters-in-law, wife and children." Then he turned around and shouted: "Come here, throw this old man in and cook!"

"Xiang Yu, you..." In front of the two armies, in front of tens of thousands of soldiers, Liu Bang was helpless.

Seeing that Liu Taigong was about to be thrown in, the old man's terrified cries could be faintly heard from a distance.

What should I do?Liu Bang was in a state of confusion for a while, standing there not knowing how to respond.

Seeing this, Zhang Liang stepped forward and whispered a few words beside Liu Bang.

I saw Liu Bang turned around and asked, "Is it okay to do this?"

Zhang Liang nodded heavily and said, "Besides this, there is no other way!"

Liu Bang clenched his fists tightly, and was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle in his heart. After a long time, he turned his heart and walked to the side of the tower.

"Xiang Yu, at the beginning of the anti-Qin uprising, we were called brothers. We resisted the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty together, and shared blessings and misfortunes. Then my father is also your father. Do you want to cook your own father? If so, don't forget to share with us later. The widow has a bowl of soup!" Liu Bang didn't know how he said such words, and after he finished speaking, he looked at the city in a daze, his heart pounding.

Uh……

Xiang Yu never expected that Liu Bang would give such an answer, cooking and killing his father to give him soup. Is this a human word spoken by a son?

But it just came out of Liu Bang's mouth. How strong is this guy's heart?Or how ruthless is it?It's outrageous!

Someone suggested that Liu Bang's wife and children be cooked and killed. Xiang Yu shook his head lightly. A father who doesn't even care about giving birth to himself will care about his wife and children?For princes and dignitaries like them, there is never a shortage of women, and Liu Bang doesn't seem to have only this son.Xiang Yu didn't believe that a despicable person like Liu Bang would have the same sincere feelings he had for Yu Ji.

Today, it can be said that the surprise has been lost first, and Liu Bang's shameless answer has made him ashamed, and it is impossible to have any results.If Liu Bang's father is really cooked, it seems that it will have no effect. Instead, Liu Bang and the Han army will hate themselves even more and strengthen their determination to defend the city.That would not be worth the loss, Xiang Yu shook his head helplessly, so he had to go out first and withdraw his troops back.

Seeing that the army of the Western Chu State temporarily retreated, the high platform was withdrawn, and the family members were not continued to be cooked, Liu Bang was temporarily relieved in his heart hanging in the air.

Liu Bang's family was taken back again, and Lu Zhi knew that this would be the result, so she had been paying attention to her husband's attitude since the moment she came to the city.Although there is an element of necessity, it sounds so ruthless and heartbreaking.

Lu Zhi knew why Liu Bang could be cruel to Taigong Liu, but what if he was treating himself and his two children?She dare not think about it...

It was in such a terrified situation that Lu Zhi thought of something, and said to the soldiers of the Chu Army who were escorting him, "Quickly report, I have something very important to see the Overlord..."
