Beast Taming: Starting from Contracting the Mysterious Beast

"Who are you?"

Zhang Liang looked at the man with a confused expression.

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Zhang Liang to not recognize him, and his brows suddenly twisted.

"Zifang, are you confused?"

Besides Liu Bang and him, there were several other people beside the campfire, and they also looked at Zhang Liang with astonishment.

Seeing this, Liu Bang remembered Zhang Liang's strange behavior yesterday and hurriedly explained.

"Zifang fainted once in the Chu camp yesterday, brother Xiao, don't be surprised."

"So this man is Xiao He..."

Zhang Liang looked at the middle-aged man.

The other party has the tendency of premature aging, looks like he is in his fifties or sixties, but his voice sounds like he is in his prime. If it is Xiao He, then it is normal.

Among the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty, Han Xin is the youngest, but he died the earliest. Han Xin's personal martial arts are not high, but he is a representative figure of the military. No matter Fan Kuai, Guan Ying, Xiahou Ying, etc., the fierce generals under him dared to say no to Han Xin.

Zhang Liang was a counselor. The two strategies of burning the plank road openly and crossing Chencang secretly were proposed by Han Xin, but the former was Zhang Liang's. It won Liu Bang too many breathing opportunities and development space.

Compared with the first two, Xiao He was not well-known, but he became the first prime minister after Liu Bang established the empire. The key was that when he was there, Liu Bang didn't have to worry about the back.

Xiao He prepared food and fodder for the army, and appeased the people after the city was captured. Xiao He was the one who cleaned up no matter what Liu Bang wanted to do. It can be seen how useful Xiao He was.

Based on the principle of using it to death, it is not strange to age prematurely.

"What, coma!"

Xiao He was startled, and his displeasure turned into concern. He took two steps forward and looked at Zhang Liang.

After a long time, he sighed and said, "Brother Zifang has worked so hard. It's also my fault. I didn't expect that the hidden wound left by you when you were chased by Qin soldiers after assassinating Ying Zheng has not healed. If I had known this, I should have let Zifang stay in Xianyang to manage the logistics of the army, and I would have gone to the Chu camp with Pei Gong."

Did Zhang Liang assassinate Ying Zheng?

Zhang Liang recalled through Ying Zheng's memory, and there was indeed such an incident.

But Zhang Liang was still Zhang Liang at that time. As Ying Zheng at that time, he would not have thought that one day he would come to Zhang Liang's body.

"So, if I hadn't traveled through this body, the previous Zhang Liang would have died in the Chu camp?"

Zhang Liang was secretly shocked. If he hadn't come to this body and hadn't Zhang Liang's assistance, Liu Bang might have died at the Hongmen Banquet. There would be no Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Empire, but only Liu Bang, the rebel at the end of the Qin Dynasty.

"Thank you for your concern, brother. I'm fine now."

Zhang Liang said with a smile.

Xiao He then turned the topic back and asked.

"Zifang, I thought you would be back in two days, how come you are back so soon?"

Speaking of this, Zhang Liang's expression tightened and he said immediately.

"Brother, you also know that I have a good relationship with Xiang Bo of the Chu camp. Although we conquered Xianyang first, Xiang Yu did not intend to keep his promise. I got the news and rushed back immediately. I want to ask the lord to leave Xianyang as soon as possible!"

"What!"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Bang and his confidants who were sitting by the campfire grilling meat could not sit still.

"Is this true!"

On the other side of Liu Bang, a man who was much younger than Liu Bang asked in a deep voice.

Zhang Liang looked at him, and the man immediately bowed and introduced himself.

"I am Han Xin, do you remember me, brother Zifang?"

"So this is Han Xin..."

Zhang Liang looked at him secretly in his heart and nodded calmly.

"Xiang Bo will not lie to me about such a small matter, otherwise it will be difficult for me and the lord to leave the Chu camp."

After getting the accurate answer, everyone panicked.

Even Han Xin frowned and did not dare to relax.

A good cook cannot cook without rice. Liu Bang only has more than 100,000 troops under his command, and they are all miscellaneous troops recruited along the way. Xiang Yu's army is not lacking in the family assets hidden by some nobles of the Chu State. The gap between the two sides is too big, and Liu Bang will break it with one touch.

Speaking of which, if Liu Bang really has the confidence to fight Xiang Yu head-on, why would he bet his life on Xiang Yu's mercy at the Hongmen Banquet?

Liu Bang couldn't think of a solution. He looked around and saw that the others were also worried. He hurriedly looked at the person who asked the question.

"Zifang, what do you think we should do?"

On the way back, Zhang Liang had already thought of a countermeasure and immediately smiled and said, "My lord, don't panic. Since you can't defend Xianyang City, why don't you give up Xianyang first?"

Liu Bang clapped his hands and praised.

"Zifang is right. Since Xiang Yu wants Xianyang, then give him Xianyang. Anyway, the Xianyang Palace has been emptied by the Qin Army, and it is a burden to keep it."

The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional.

Zhang Liang narrowed his eyes when he heard this and thought to himself.

From Liu Bang's words, Xianyang was not conquered, but the Qin army was ready to leave the city in advance, but why? What made Fusu make such a decision?

Zhang Liang didn't know, he had the urge to leave here and investigate Fusu's whereabouts.

A premonition told him that the Great Qin Empire he created seemed to have not been destroyed yet!

"Zifang, where do you think we should go?"

Liu Bang raised his head to ask, but saw that Zhang Liang was absent-minded, as if thinking about something, and asked again.

"Zifang?"

Zhang Liang came back to his senses and looked at Liu Bang with a smile.

"My lord, what's the matter?"

His trance made Liu Bang's heart twitch and sigh.

"Zifang, do you still want to go back to Han?"

"Huh?"

Zhang Liang looked at him puzzled.

Liu Bang didn't pay attention to Zhang Liang's expression. He seemed to be in some kind of helplessness and talked to himself.

"I know that you want to be the prime minister of Han, just like Han Fei, you want to make Han strong through your own efforts, and no longer be bullied by the surrounding countries..."

Zhang Liang was born in Han, and the current Zhang Liang understands this.

But what does the previous Zhang Liang have to do with him, Ying Zheng/Bai Qi/Lu Ren? Han was destroyed by him.

Just as he was about to speak, Zhang Liang's heart moved, and his eyes instantly turned red.

"My lord..."

"Han is weak, and now it is restored by a wise monarch. Zhang Liang wants to be a minister for the lord, but his country needs Zhang Liang..."

"Alas..."

Liu Bang sighed heavily.

Xiao He, Han Xin and others stepped forward and wanted to persuade Zhang Liang, but Liu Bang waved his hand to stop them.

"I understand what you mean."

Liu Bang reached into his arms and took out only a few taels of red gold. He threw it all to Zhang Liang and said.

"You can leave whenever you want. We are in love. I will not stop you. No one will stop you. I just hope you can be a good prime minister in Han."

"Lord!"

Zhang Liang cried out in grief, bowed down, and took the red gold into his arms.

"Lord, I will never forget your kindness. If there is another chance, Liang will come back."

"Go!"

Liu Bang turned around and stopped looking behind him. Zhang Liang looked back every three steps and walked out of the palace.

Until he disappeared, Fan Kuai whispered beside Liu Bang.

"Brother, the military advisor has left."

Liu Bang nodded, sat back by the campfire, and smiled at everyone.

"Why are you still standing there? Let's continue playing music and dancing. It's not too late to evacuate Xianyang in the afternoon."
