Beast Taming: Starting from Contracting the Mysterious Beast

When Zhang Liang returned to the Central Plains, it was already a year later.

Hearing that Liu Bang had captured Pengcheng, Zhang Liang immediately rushed to Pengcheng. If he remembered correctly, Liu Bang would suffer a big defeat in Pengcheng and be in desperate situation again.

Unfortunately, it's still a step too late.

Within Pengcheng, flames shot into the sky, and the shouts of killing could be heard ten miles away. I don't know how many soldiers died as a result.

Bai Shu rode a horse and stood beside Zhang Liang, looking into the distance with her brows furrowed and silent.

"Mr. Zhang, do we want to go there?"

Zhang Liang smiled bitterly and shook his head.

It's a pity that God is not kind. If he could arrive half a day earlier, the battle between Chu and Han would be decided today.

"No need, let's just wait here."

After searching the southwest of Pengcheng, Zhang Liang waited patiently.

After Liu Bang was defeated in Pengcheng, he would go far away to Xingyang, and he would definitely run into him.

For a moment, the sparse remaining defeated soldiers were running around all night. No one recognized Zhang Liang, and no one dared to come over to look for trouble at this time. It was too late to escape.

After waiting for a while, a group of dozens of horsemen were galloping on the road ahead. At a glance, it was clear that a big shot from the anti-Chu camp was on the run.

"Hey, military advisor?"

Xiao He was riding on the horse, although he frowned and looked in one direction.

"What military advisor? The military advisor is dead a long time ago!" Liu Bang's eyes were red with a sad expression and he cursed: "If the military advisor hadn't wanted to help some bullshit King Han, how could I have been defeated!"

After Han Wangcheng was killed, Liu Bang sent people to Han to invite Zhang Liang back, but he searched for two months to no avail.

The generals were indifferent upon hearing this.

Liu Bang had many counselors under his command.

In the past, when Zhang Liang was there, although he was the chief counselor, and he was as proud as Chen Ping, and he was willing to be subordinate to him, the title of military counselor in the Han army was still a very wide-ranging title. For any counselor who made suggestions, Liu Bang would call him military counselor. .

But since the two tips left by Zhang Liang were verified one after another and helped Liu Bang win Hanzhong, military advisor has become a noun, and it is closely tied to the name Zhang Liang.

Put it this way.

Although Zhang Liang is gone, his legend is still spread among the Han army.

"No, my lord, you are really a strategist!"

Xiao He suddenly reined in his horse and stopped suddenly, almost colliding with Xia Houying who was following behind. Fortunately, the latter was superb at riding, otherwise Liu Bang would have had a few more straws on his back today.

"Lord, look over there, military advisor!"

Xiao He pointed in one direction.

Under the silver moon, two shadows on horseback stood there. They wore black cloaks and looked towards this side.

Tens of steps away, Liu Bang could only see two people. Not to mention their faces, even their figures were like tiny dots.

"What strategist? I think you are stunned. Two..."

He opened his mouth to curse, but as soon as he cursed a few words, his voice became quieter.

He couldn't see his face clearly, but a feeling told Liu Bang that he was the old friend he had been looking for for a long time.

"Zhang Zifang!"

Liu Bang shouted.

From a distance, Zhang Liang smiled knowingly, sat on the horse and drank.

"My lord, the ovary is late."

This sentence almost made Liu Bang, who was on the verge of collapse, burst into tears.

His experience in the past two days can be summarized like this.

The day before, we occupied Pengcheng and sang songs with the music turned on. In the blink of an eye, we were robbed by the arrogant Xiang Yu.

How dare he attack a big city with 500,000 to 600,000 men garrisoned by 30,000 people!

The number of Xiang Yu's army was determined by several generals' observations on the way out of Pengcheng.

…

At that time, there were five to six hundred thousand soldiers and generals who followed, and now there are twenty or thirty confidants.

No one knows how desperate he is.

Damn Xiang Yu, he didn’t even have revenge every other page!

"This damn god has a grudge against me too!"

Liu Bang rushed out of the military formation and wiped away the rain with the wind of chasing horses.

Xiao He and others did not disturb them, they just stayed where they were and watched. It was true that they were running for their lives, but they did not lose this little time.

"Zifang, when did you come back?"

As he got closer, Liu Bang saw Zhang Liang's face clearly and was sure he was not a ghost, so he dismounted and stepped forward.

He wanted to open his arms to welcome the other party, but after hesitating, he stopped where he was, and only three taels of red gold escaped from his arms.

"Zifang, I always make room for you every time I eat. Don't you know that I have become more prosperous during this time and have countless eaters? I have even eaten the giant kelp in the sea. It's a pity that you can't come with me. ”

Without waiting for Zhang Liang to speak, he handed over the red gold.

"What a coincidence. You're late again. The Lord is in despair at the moment. Take this little gold and go make a living."

Zhang Liang took it speechlessly.

The last time we parted, Liu Bang gave him three taels of pure gold, and this time it was still three taels.

He stared deeply at the future rogue emperor, wondering how much of the other person's words were true and how false.

But one thing is for sure, he seemed to be really moved.

People who have been widowed for decades cannot bear to hear this...

…

"Lord."

Zhang Liang bowed deeply.

"When did the Lord lose?"

After asking, Zhang Liang answered by himself.

He pointed to dozens of riders parked in the distance.

"I see that my lord is still accompanied by famous ministers and good generals, and he is protected by elite soldiers and generals. They are willing to follow my lord. When did my lord lose?"

Liu Bang suddenly raised his head, stared at the sky, and cursed for the second time.

"Damn it, it's raining!"

"yes."

Zhang Liang smiled.

Bai Shu, who was following him, looked up at the sky.

rain?

Why didn't she see it?

One horse left, three returned, and the escape was still in progress.

Perhaps Zhang Liang's persuasion had an effect, or perhaps Liu Bang was still unwilling to give in. They gathered the remaining defeated generals along the way. When they arrived at Xingyang, they had another 50,000 or 60,000 troops. They joined Han Xin in Xingyang and had more than 100,000 troops.

The group met for a short while, Zhang Liang listened.

"Everyone, the Chu thief Xiang Yu is chasing me. What do you think should be done?"

Zhang Liang raised the issue, which caused a stir.

The conservatives led by Xiao He and subordinated to Cao Shen suggested returning to Hanzhong to regroup and wait for the battle, so that they might not be able to fight for the world again.

The radical faction headed by Han Xin wanted to compete with Xiang Yu. If they could not hold Xingyang and Hanzhong would be isolated, it would be difficult to compete with the Chu army.

Liu Bang's head hurt when he heard it.

From the bottom of his heart, he wanted to fight Xiang Yu, but he had to admit that he was a little afraid of him. Thirty thousand people could break five or six hundred thousand. He didn't know who else could stop him. This reckless man!

After thinking for a while, Liu Bang couldn't decide.

His heart moved and he looked at Zhang Liang, who was sitting in the distance and listening.

"What do you think of Zifang?"

Zhang Liang was bored and looking at the sky in Xingyang through the crack of the door, as if the small meeting in front of him, which could determine the ownership of the world, was not as beautiful as the unchanging dome.

"How about what?"

Liu Bang's face darkened. Before he could stand up, Han Xin on his right had already stood up.

"Mr. Zhang, do you think we should fight the pursuers?"

Han Xin was not the youngest among everyone present, but he was one of the younger ones.

His gaze was as fiery as a torch, piercing Zhang Liang's face.

Zhang Liangshi stood up and saluted Han Xin.

"Since Brother Han thinks it's time to fight, then let's fight."
