Competing

Chapter 567 A Little Sacrifice

Lu Zhi's kneeling, a pleading effect is quite good.Before getting married, Lu's pheasant's background and family background were much better than Liu Bang's.It can be said that she is a proud lady from a rich family, and because of this, she has already developed Lu Zhi's strong character.It can be said that she married Liu Bang without hesitation regardless of the opposition of her clan.

Even in the most difficult time of life, she still gritted her teeth and persisted, and finally survived.Bitterness first, sweetness later, the bitterness in the bitterness, the words of Fang Weiren Master can be regarded as the most reasonable sayings by Lu Zhi.For many years, Lu Zhi never really begged Liu Bang, maybe she never had such a thing in her bones.

But today, Lu Zhi made a request to Liu Bang, the only request he has made in many years of marriage, and it may be the only time in his life.

Liu Bang was stunned, never expecting Lu Zhi to behave like this.Could it be that years of hostage life honed her vigor and mind?But when Lu Zhi said the content of the pleading, Liu Bang suddenly understood.This is a mother's plea, a mother's helplessness and love for her son.

"Save our two children..." It hit the tender side of Liu Bang's heart all of a sudden, yes!Those two children were not only Lu Zhi's, but also his own flesh and blood.As a father, he loves his children no matter what, and suddenly a word made me feel worried.

Even though this plea was a bit difficult to realize, it made him unable to refuse, and he had to do everything possible to realize it.

"Madam, don't worry, we have tried our best to rescue our child!" Liu Bang made a promise.

Hearing her husband's answer, Lu Zhi, whose head was buried in Liu Bang's arms, showed a smug smile at the corner of his mouth, but Liu Bang didn't notice it at all.

He was not around for more than two years. To Lu Zhi, the King of Han was still the King of Han before, and her husband was no longer the same as before.She didn't dare to expect how Liu Bang could treat her. At this moment, there was less trust between the husband and wife, and more deception and use.What Lu Zhi needs now is the future benefits, the future of himself and his son Liu Ying.As for his daughter Lu Yuan, who has been betrothed to the son of Zhao Wang Zhang Er, it is considered a good destination.

So today in front of her husband, she suppressed her self-esteem and arrogance, and knelt down to beg Liu Bang.One is to take the emotional route, so that the status of the two children in Liu Bang's mind will rise, and Liu Bang will care and care about them.Secondly, it is also paving the way for myself and my children invisibly, and it may go better in the future.

In the end, Lu Zhi didn't have much real feelings in his heart, it was all a trick, just some tricks!Perhaps it was because the woman was careful and sensitive, Liu Bang clearly noticed the change in her husband and modified his strategy.Liu Bang didn't notice the change of Lu Zhi at all, and he didn't expect that the person next to his pillow would plot against him.Fortunately, these calculations did not harm Liu Bang's interests when they were for Lu Zhi's own interests.

"Okay, Ma'am, don't worry, the widow will find a way to rescue our child, you go to rest first!" Liu Bang comforted softly.

Lu Zhi nodded lightly and said: "Okay, leave everything to the King of Han!" She can be said to be satisfied at the moment, but everything is suppressed in her heart, and some things cannot be expressed in front of her husband.What's more, there is still no conclusion on this matter, the son and daughter are still in Xiang Yu's hands, and the danger has not yet been lifted.

Lu Zhi went to rest, and some persuasion was emotional and reasonable, which also made Lu Zhi feel sad, helpless, and worried.

This process was actually a thrilling torment, but she managed to survive it.Judging from her husband's performance, it seemed that he was also moved and persuaded.

Lu Zhi knew that half of the success had been achieved, and he had tried his best, and the next step was to see his husband's choice.From this matter, Lu Zhi found that the distance between himself and her husband was getting farther and farther. They seemed to be in love with each other, but inadvertently, they had started to deceive more, more estrangement, and more use.

Liu Bang heard his wife's words and did not make a decision for the time being.This news is more important. Its authenticity and feasibility, and what to do, these important things must be properly demonstrated, and must not be taken lightly.This matter is not something he can decide on alone, and he still needs to discuss it with ministers and counselors.

Zhang Liang entered the palace soon, and for such a big event, Liu Bang's first thought was to ask Mr. Zifang for reference.

Zhang Liang naturally heard the news about Lu's pheasant's return, and his heart was full of doubts.After listening to Liu Bang's explanation, I learned the inside story, and the rationality of the matter has also improved a lot.It's just that Zhang Zifang always felt that something seemed wrong, but he couldn't tell the specifics.

After listening to Liu Bang's report, Zhang Liang fell silent. Does Xiang Yu want peace talks?Mr. Zifang was still a little surprised by this, but soon he was relieved. They had already imagined the possibility of this many times, but they didn't expect it to happen under such circumstances, so they were really surprised.

"Mr. Zifang, do you think this is reliable?" Liu Bang trusted Zhang Liang the most, so he naturally wanted to listen to his explanation.Zhang Liang's insight and resourcefulness are there, and it is always right to let him check things that he is not sure about.

Zhang Liang nodded lightly: "It's not impossible, what do you think, King of Han?"

The one who knows Lu's pheasant best should be Liu Bang himself. Let's first read Hanwang's opinion, and then make a comprehensive reference.Of course, Zhang Liang dared to ask such words.

Liu Bang hesitated and said: "Looking at the situation, Xiang Yu's situation is indeed not good. It is possible that he wants peace talks, but it is not convenient to say so, so the message is sent through Madam. What I am most puzzled about now is Xiang Yu's attitude. This person is self-willed and has always been defiant, whether he is willing to lower his face or not, it is hard to say whether he will make peace."

Zhang Liang nodded secretly, he knew what Liu Bang said.The key to this matter lies in Lu Zhi and Xiang Yu. As long as Liu Bang believes in Lu Zhi, there will be no problem if he thinks about it.

So what about Xiang Yu's attitude?The overlord of Western Chu is mighty, so he may not be able to show his face to negotiate peace with Liu Bang.However, judging from the current situation, this possibility exists.Perhaps Xiang Yu wanted to fight to the death and directly captured Xingyang and Chenggao, but after paying a huge price of casualties, he failed to achieve his expected goal.Although Liu Bang's family is in his hands, the threat has no effect, and it can be said that he is a little helpless.

Thinking of this, Zhang Liang couldn't help feeling a little rejoicing.At that time, Liu Bang was forced to say that, and the risk was very high. If Xiang Yu really cooked Liu Taigong to death.Then he was to be blamed for death, and he was really sweating at that moment. Fortunately, the tragedy did not happen.It seems that Xiang Yu is not cruel enough after all, but it can also be seen from this that Xiang Yu does seem to have the intention of peace talks.

If Liu Taigong was really killed and Liu Bang's family was killed, there would really be a sworn feud between Western Chu and Han, and the only way to get a result is to fight to the death.But the possibility of peace talks was completely lost. Obviously Xiang Yu didn't want to get that out of hand, so he left a little room.

Zhang Liang nodded and said: "King of Han, I think this matter should be credible. Xiang Yu didn't hurt the family of King Han today, just to leave some leeway. If this is the case, it means that Xiang Yu didn't intend to fight to the death, and he didn't fight to the end. , the mentality of winning. At least, we don't have to worry about the current crisis in Xingyang."

"Well, this is true!" Liu Bang said with some fear now, "What Ma'am means is that Xiang Yu let her come back first to spread the word, and secondly to show his sincerity."

"That's right!" Zhang Liang said, "Western Chu is not what it used to be. Without Long Qie and Fan Zeng, the national power has been greatly weakened. Xiang Yu's arrogance may have been worn down a lot. In desperation, he It is entirely possible to choose to negotiate peace talks. This time, he attacked Rui Ci fiercely, and the first move can also be said to increase the bargaining chip for the peace talks. In addition, the family of King Han is in his hands, and Xiang Yu should have the upper hand."

Having said that, Liu Bang couldn't help but feel a little worried. His family is still in Xiang Yu's hands, and if there is a peace talk, he must be controlled by others.What can I do?Since peace talks are to be made, there must be trade-offs. Now it seems that Xiang Yu's chances of winning are naturally much greater.Is it time to compromise?But when he wanted to make a sacrifice, Liu Bang still felt a little heartbroken, especially if the sacrifice was too large, he would be even more annoyed.

Zhang Liang seemed to see Liu Bang's worry, and smiled softly: "King of Han, what is there to worry about, have you forgotten? The biggest purpose of the peace talks with Western Chu is to save your family, as for the others..."

Zhang Liang didn't go on, Liu Bang already understood it completely.Yeah, what's there to worry about?This is the purpose of the peace talks. As for the other things, even if Xiang Yu talks nonsense, what can he do if he asks for a lot of money?Even if you make a little sacrifice right now, you can regain it in the future without suffering a loss.

But you can't be so overly happy. Whether you want to pay back the money on the ground, there is a premise, it depends on the meaning of Yue Wang Yinxu.Alas, in this way, it is still necessary to act according to other people's faces, but it's just changed from Xiang Yu to Yin Xu.

In the end, Xiang Yu was forced to, so why not Liu Bang?Life under the control of others is hard after all.The Yue Kingdom also wants to negotiate peace and form an alliance, but for others, it is just how to obtain greater benefits, how to become king and hegemony more easily, and even dominate the world.Yue Wang Yinxu is not under the control of others at all, the more freedom he has, the more room for choice.

The envoys have already been dispatched to Jiangdong, but they still don't know the result. He heard that there are also people from the Western Chu Kingdom, how will Yin Xu choose?I don't know what's wrong with this time?

While Liu Bang was in deep thought, Zhang Liang said, "King of Han, even though that is the case, there is a difficult matter right now, and a little sacrifice may be required..."
