The God of the Three Kingdoms will come

As the person who knew Xiang Yu's character best, Fan Zeng knew that Xiang Yu's attack on Hangu Pass would be a waste of time when he saw that Xiang Yu didn't speak out immediately.

However, he didn't report any hope at all. The reason why he said this was just to try, and it didn't matter whether he succeeded or not.

"If the general is worried that this move will violate the righteousness, then invite Liu Bang to come to the banquet in three days. In this way, you can not only show the general's extraordinary demeanor, but also take the opportunity to test out Liu Bang's true intentions. If you really threaten the general Great cause, then kill it at the banquet."

"If there is no threat to the general, then it will be regarded as a congratulatory banquet for Liu Bang to become the king of Guanzhong."

"What does the general think?"

Xiang Yu, who was lying on the huge seat, was propping his head with his left hand. Hearing what Fan Zeng said, he nodded his head in agreement.

The corner of Fan Zeng's mouth curled up slightly. Although he said that, he had already sentenced Liu Bang to death in his heart.

No matter what Liu Bang's real thoughts are, whether it has any impact on Xiang Yu's great cause, the dinner three days later will be the date of Liu Bang's death.

When it comes to his territory, Liu Bang is the fish on the board and can only be slaughtered by him.

Thinking of this, Fan Zeng bid farewell to Xiang Yu, sent someone to send invitations to Liu Bang, and then began to arrange various matters related to the banquet, the most important thing of which was how to kill Liu Bang.

Chapter 153 Keeping You Safe

Liu Bang received an invitation from Xiang Yu in the early morning of the second day, but it was written by Fan Zeng.

After Liu Bang read the invitation, he immediately found Ling Xiao and Zhang Liang.

After Ling Xiao and the two had read the invitation, Liu Bang asked.

"What is the purpose of Xiang Yu's move?"

Ling Xiao didn't answer, but just looked at Zhang Liang.

Although he knew the real purpose of this banquet, it shouldn't be said by his mouth.

He has always positioned himself as a logistics support staff, and these intrigues should be handled by Zhang Liang, a professional.

As for whether Zhang Liang could see the other party's true intentions from this invitation, Ling Xiao never doubted it.

Just kidding, Zhang Liang is respected as a holy man by the world, and his IQ is enough to beat Ling Xiao eight streets.

Ling Xiao's ability to fight against Zhang Liang in Liu Bang's camp now is entirely supported by historical knowledge, otherwise he would have fallen out of Liu Bang's core think tank.

Seeing Ling Xiao looking at him, Zhang Liang thought that Ling Xiao had already seen the tricks of this banquet, and the reason why he didn't say anything was to give himself a chance to show off.

So Zhang Liang smiled at Ling Xiao, put down the invitation, got up and said to Liu Bang.

"The other party's move seems to be a banquet for Pei Gong to congratulate him, but it is actually a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. I am afraid that the banquet will be disadvantageous to Peigong!"

"This...then it doesn't matter if we don't go to this banquet."

In fact, Liu Bang also had vague concerns in this regard, and the reason why he asked Ling Xiao and Zhang Liang for their opinions was also to make sure.

After all, he was able to invade Xianyang so smoothly, which can be regarded as taking advantage of Xiang Yu, and the other party is not only not angry, but also entertains himself, which is tricky no matter how you look at it.

"Pei Gong, I'm afraid we still have to go to this banquet."

"Huh? Knowing it's a trap, why do you want to jump into it on purpose?" Liu Bang was puzzled by Zhang Liang's words.

Before the relationship, you gave me a meal to analyze the danger of this banquet. I still have to go in the end, so you might as well not tell me.

Now it's making my heart palpitate, so why don't I go to the banquet with fear?

"Xiang Yu has never attacked Hangu Pass, because Pei Gong has occupied the righteousness, and Xiang Yu is very committed to it."

"Since Pei Gong has already entered Guanzhong before him, if he attacks Pei Gong because of dissatisfaction in his heart, he will lose righteousness."

"But if Pei Gong refuses to accept Xiang Yu's invitation, it will give the other party an excuse to take the opportunity to attack. This is the other party's conspiracy. Whether Pei Gong goes or not, he has fallen into the other party's trap!"

Speaking of this, even Zhang Liang couldn't help frowning. He also felt a little tricky when the other party made such a move.

This strategy seems uncomplicated, but the fact that the opponent can think of using this method to defeat Liu Bang's army is enough to show the sophistication of the adviser opposite.

Zhang Liang believes that the highest state of a counselor is not the so-called resourcefulness and wisdom, but being good at taking advantage of the situation and using the general situation to force the other party to do things according to his ideas.

This is a conspiracy of a higher level than a conspiracy. I'm not afraid of you seeing it, so what if you see it through, don't you have to follow my advice?

In his view, all conspiracies are just a gamble. If the opponent can't see through it, it will have miraculous effects. Once it is seen through, not only will it have no effect, but it will be easy for the opponent to plot!

So before seeing Ling Xiao's evaluation of Fan Zeng so highly, he felt somewhat suspicious, but now it seems that Ling Xiao's words are not only not exaggerated, but rather conservative.

The person on the other side is more than just scheming, he is simply cunning and cunning, and his heart is a little dirty. Once he makes a move, it is a conspiracy that puts people in a dilemma!

"How about that?"

After listening to Zhang Liang's analysis, Liu Bang also felt that he could not avoid this banquet.

After all, people are blocked outside the pass, and I can't escape even if I want to.

"It all depends on how brother Xiao will deal with it."

"Since Brother Xiao knows Fan Zeng so well, he must have anticipated what happened today. Since he didn't let Pei Gong withdraw directly from Guanzhong, he must have a countermeasure!"

Zhang Liang turned to look at Ling Xiao and said.

Ling Xiao knew that he couldn't escape, so he could only stand up.

"Brother Zhang is joking. I have no way to deal with it. I can only play by ear. Soldiers come to cover up the water and soil. However, Pei Gong can go to the banquet. If the matter really develops to the point where soldiers meet, I can at least guarantee Peigong retreated completely!"

Even Zhang Liang couldn't think of a countermeasure, and Ling Xiao naturally couldn't think of any perfect solution.

As for the way to deal with the Hongmen Banquet in history, let alone mention it, it is full of loopholes!

I won't talk about the others, but let's talk about how Liu Bang escaped.

It turned out to be an excuse to go to the bathroom, and just slipped away through the back door... gone... gone...

Listen, is this human?

Is it an insult to our IQ, or is it an insult to Fan Zeng's IQ?Could this be the legendary urine escape?

But this is too hasty, right?

Fan Zeng's killing intent towards Liu Bang can be said to be written on his face, it is almost inevitable, how could he not even see this?

So when Ling Xiao really wants to use this method, he will die without knowing how to die!

However, the only difference between him and Zhang Liang is that he has the trump card of Xiang Yu's battle spirit, and when he is in a hurry, he will turn over the table. Regardless of your conspiracy, I will let you see the power of breaking all laws with one force!

Two days later, Liu Bang and his party of more than a hundred people rode to Hongmen on horseback.

At this time, a whole army of one hundred thousand was standing in front of Hongmen with torches, and the raging fire lit up the entire sky.

Naturally, these were not all of Xiang Yu's troops, but other troops were stationed outside Hangu Pass, and the leader of that army was Xiang Yu's number one general, Long Qi!

As for these, they are regarded as Xiang Yu's direct army, and they only obey Xiang Yu's orders!

When Liu Bang and others arrived, the [-] troops suddenly separated a straight passage to the banquet hall.

This can be regarded as a disgrace to Liu Bang and others. After all, it is definitely an elite army with such an order and prohibition, and its combat effectiveness is absolutely amazing!

At this time, there was a person standing in front of the passage army.

Zhang Liang seemed to be familiar with this person, and after whispering to Liu Bang, he got off his horse and walked forward to talk to him.

"Brother Robert is waiting here."

Zhang Liang bowed his hands and saluted.

"Alas~ Brother Zifang, you shouldn't have come."

It was Xiang Yu's youngest uncle, Uncle Xiang, who greeted Liu Bang and his party.

He killed someone in his early years, so he hid in Xiapi with Han Gongzi Zhang Liang, so he and Zhang Liang were old acquaintances.

The reason why he waited here in advance this time was because Zhang Liang had been kind to him and planned to tell them the truth about the banquet in advance so that Zhang Liang could prepare for it!

In a sense, Xiang Bo's behavior is collaborating with the enemy, which shows how charismatic Zhang Liang's personality is.

After hearing Uncle Xiang's words, Zhang Liang knew the purpose of Uncle Xiang waiting here. To be honest, he was a little moved.

Seeing that Uncle Xiang was going to tell them the inside story about the banquet, Zhang Liang interrupted him hastily.

"Brother, you don't need to say too much. Since we dare to come to the banquet, we have made all the preparations. Just go forward and lead the way."

Since the other party treated him with benevolence and righteousness, he would naturally not fall into the position of infidelity, so he was not allowed to say the following words.

Uncle Xiang was stunned for a moment, seeing that Zhang Liang acted like he didn't need to say anything, and I already knew everything, so he didn't say anything more, shook his head and said.

"In that case, please come with me, everyone."

"It's work."

Zhang Liang bowed to Uncle Xiang and said.

In any case, he accepted the fact that the other party came to see him at the risk of being accused of collaborating with the enemy!

Chapter 154 Soul Suppressing Soldiers

A group of people walked towards the banquet hall. As for the hundred or so personal guards, they naturally stayed outside. Only Liu Bang, Ling Xiao, Zhang Liang, and Fan Kui could enter the hall.

That's right, unlike in history, this time it's not just Zhang Liang who accompanied Liu Bang, but all the players!

There's no way, if Ling Xiao doesn't follow, if the situation gets out of control, he won't be able to save it in time.

Under the leadership of Xiang Bo, Ling Xiao and others walked into the hall.

Ling Xiao saw Xiang Yu sitting in the first place at a glance, oh, no, it was Xiang Yu's battle spirit of this period.

Compared with the one summoned by Ling Xiao, this one's aura is not so strong, maybe because he didn't enter the fighting state, and didn't show the domineering aura that covered the universe.

However, in Ling Xiao's perception, Xiang Yu's battle spirit sitting at the top is like an oven burning with raging fire, as if the person sitting there is not a human at all, but a giant beast.

At this time, Fan Kui's expression also changed, he, who is also a fierce general, can feel Xiang Yu's terror more than Ling Xiao.

Unlike Ling Xiao, he didn't sense it with spiritual power, but an innate fighting instinct.

As soon as he saw Xiang Yu, his intuition frantically warned: run!run now!

Beads of sweat the size of mung beans appeared on Fan Kuai's forehead. After suppressing his biological instinct with great willpower, he followed Liu Bang step by step, and when Liu Bang took his seat, he stood quietly behind him.

At this time, the layout of the hall was that Xiang Yu sat at the top, Xiang Bo sat at the lower left, Liu Bang, Zhang Liang and Ling Xiao followed, and Fan Zeng, Xiang Yu's first adviser, sat alone at the lower right.

"The banquet for Pei Gong this time is just to congratulate Pei Gong for taking the lead in entering Guanzhong. From then on, we will be honored as the king of Guanzhong."

Fan Zeng suddenly raised his wine glass and said to Liu Bang.

Although the words were all words of congratulations, they actually contained evil intentions. The reason why he said these was to arouse Xiang Yu's anger. Even if Xiang Yu could not kill Liu Bang on the spot, at least he would not stop him from doing it later. .

"Mr. Fan's words are wrong. It is pure luck that I was able to attack Xianyang City. If General Xiang hadn't attracted most of the Qin army's strength, how could I have invaded Xianyang with Liu Bang's strength."

"How can I, Liu Banghe De, be worthy of the title of "King of Guanzhong", the name of "King of Guanzhong" is none other than a general! Therefore, this wine is suitable for me, General Liu Bangjing, and I will do it first as a respect!"

After finishing speaking, Liu Bang raised his wine glass and drank it down to Xiang Yu!

Liu Bang is not a fool either, he may not have great wisdom, but such little cleverness in verbal confrontation is still not lacking.

With a few words, Fan Zeng's offensive was resolved, and Xiang Yu's flattery was taken advantage of the situation, and he took the opportunity to show that he had no intention of getting involved in the "King of Guanzhong", which can be said to kill two birds with one stone!

It can be seen that Xiang Yu is quite useful for this. Although his face is still expressionless, none of the people present are simple people, and the smile on his brow can still be felt.

However, although Liu Bang's words dispelled Xiang Yu's hostility a little, in Fan Zeng's heart, he was labeled as forbearable, flexible and stretchable, and his heart to kill Liu Bang became even stronger!

"Heh~ Pei Gong is being modest."

Seeing Liu Bang finish his drink without changing his face, Fan Zeng said with a fake smile.

He had thought about poisoning the wine, but still the same sentence, this is a world with extraordinary power.

Although Liu Bang is not an awesome character in terms of strength, he is at least an existence that has broken through the second limit, and maybe even an inhuman existence that has broken through the third limit.

After all, if Liu Bang can achieve today's achievement, his intelligence and political attributes cannot be low. Maybe he can't be compared with those famous civil servants and advisers in history, but he is definitely not comparable to ordinary people!

Of course, in this world, there are naturally poisons that can kill the human body twice or even three times, but that kind of poison is hard to find in the world, and it must be refined by a peerless poison master!

Even with his energy, he couldn't find poisons of this level, but there were poisons of a lower level, but there was nothing wrong with poisoning people!

So he didn't do anything with Liu Bang's wine.

But seeing Liu Bangneng gulp it down without hesitation, to be honest, I still admire his courage.

But the stronger Liu Bang behaved, the more determined he was to kill Liu Bang. There was no way but to say that each was his own master!
