When Xiong Ming saw the two of them leaving the table, he was furious in his heart, and immediately got up and shouted: "You are the envoy, how can you be so rude, if you leave the table, you should salute Your Majesty, you are extremely reckless, what kind of system!"
” Long He didn't care about his face at all, and instead smiled: "That's really rude, but we are courteous to the overlord, not to the incompetent." ” "You!
You!
Xiong Ming was about to step forward, but fortunately he was pulled by Wu Qi, so he had to swallow the evil anger in his heart, turned around and sat down, and Emperor Chu also got up at this time and said, "The two Aiqing go slowly."
The tone was extremely humble.
Only then did Zhong Liwu turn around, bow his hand and salute: "Your Majesty, forgive me, we have important matters, and we will see you at the time and say goodbye!"
” When the envoy was far away, Wu Qi got up slightly, and said to Xiong Ming with some punishment: "In the future, we need to be cautious when dealing with such people, although we are noble, we have no real power." ” "Hmph, what real power is not real power, respect is enough!"
Xiong Ming immediately retorted.
How do you know that Emperor Chu, who was drinking tea next to him, slowly got up and said: "Uncle Wang, now it is no longer the powerful Chu State that it was at the beginning, and today's situation is like the last week, and there is no power." ” Hearing this, Xiong Ming seemed to understand the truth, and bowed his head slightly, the prince who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun at the beginning, can now be regarded as understanding the situation, and some things can't be stopped at all.
Huiji didn't mention everything, and said that Zhong Liwu and Long Ji left Huiji and went straight to Jiujiang, this time it was the King of Han who lobbied, according to Xiang Liang's promotion of Liu Bang, explain the reason, Liu Bang would naturally help Xiang Yu attack Qin.
Now Liu Bang doesn't seem to have time to care about other things at all, Li Sheng and Xiao He and others formulate regulations to recuperate, Fan Hao Xiahou Ying and others train soldiers, Liu Bang's current task is just to take back Emperor Chu, although he can't command the countries, but at least he can show a certain authority.
In Gaocheng, Jiujiang County, Liu Bang built a new palace, the style is relatively simple, Liu Bang is in the city and Cao Shen to check the regulations set by Xiao He, who knows that Lu Juan suddenly ran in from the outside, his face was slightly hasty.
"King Qiyu, things are not good, Dingtao City is lost, and Chu Xiang is dead!
Xiang Yu wants to send troops!
Lu Juan's voice seemed to be very anxious, but it was Liu Bang next to him, his expression was indifferent, as if he had nothing to do with this matter.
Seeing this, Lu Xuan frowned slightly, "King, that Yufa army is not the soldiers of Pengcheng, but the soldiers of the Six Kingdoms, and the soldiers of Chu have lost 40,000 today, which shows that Fan Zeng's plan is very cunning!"
” "Well, this is reasonable, this plan is very good, I don't know when the Chu envoy will come?"
Liu Bang thought for a long time, and finally said indifferently.
"I just left from Huiji a few days ago, and it is estimated that I will be able to come to Gaocheng soon, and I heard that Emperor Chu of Huiji avenged Chu Xiang, and did not hesitate to send 10,000 troops, which is quite deep."
Lu Juan sighed unconsciously.
Cao Shen saw Liu Bang on the side who looked like he didn't care about himself, and immediately stepped forward to comfort: "King Qiqi, Xiang Liang is killed today, the overlord is in charge, and there are Fan Zeng and others under the tent Sasuke, if we can't follow his wishes, we will definitely be arrested by him." ” "Then what does Aiqing think?"
"According to Weichen's meaning, it is better to pretend to be poor, and try to send as few troops and horses as possible when the time comes, in a certain opinion, that Xiang Yu heard that Xiang Liang was killed, and he must have wanted to send troops as soon as possible, but he was helplessly stopped by Fan Zeng, in order to prevent the Chu army from being attacked again, he made this decision, using the power of the six countries to fight against the weak Qin, and asked the king to think twice."
Cao Shen's analysis was the head of the Dao, and Liu Bang also nodded and praised, "Well, what Brother Cao said is very true, it is better to order it now, and prepare to receive the envoys, this king will also perform a little, in addition, Lu Xuan, you go and call Xiao He and the others to come, and discuss the specific matters of this matter by the way." ” The news of Xiang Liang's death must not be hidden, but now Liu Bang has to pretend not to know, after hearing the news of Xiang Liang's death, Emperor Huiji Chu was indifferent, which shows that he is not very convinced of what Xiang Liang did, which also secretly buries hidden dangers.
In the palace of Gaocheng Palace, all the ministers were there, Liu Bang changed his clothes slightly, and then sat at the head of the hall, seeing that everyone frowned slightly, so he spoke first: "Today's matter Lu Juan also said, there are general methods, I don't know if there are other high opinions?"
” Xiao He was in the first place on the left, pondered for a moment, and asked with some concern: "At the beginning, the six countries attacked the Qin State together, and all of them returned without defeat, but now among the six countries, there are mostly reckless people, and they have their own thoughts, and sending troops to attack Qin is not conducive to asking for hardship, and it will only increase the morale of the Qin army. ” Liu Bang didn't speak, but he unconsciously looked at the white-haired old man Li Sheng, and Xiahou Ying was the first to speak: "The old gentleman knows the current affairs, and it doesn't hurt to speak freely. ” Li Sheng bowed his head slightly, stroked his beard with his right hand and said: "King Qiyu, this matter should be obedient to Xiang Yu's words and deeds, and in the end, it is Xiang Yu who leads the troops. ” "If you don't have enough strength, there are 100,000 soldiers and horses, Xiang Yu doesn't dare to become the main general easily, if you have the strength, it is still possible to hurt Qin's muscles and bones, so Weichen thinks that the king will just calculate, don't do too much vigilance, the relationship between the king and Xiang Yu is not harmonious, at this moment, if you don't follow Xiang Yu, its preemptive strike, who can match us?"
Everyone who said it in a few words was dumbfounded, but the truth is true, who knew that at this moment, the attendants outside suddenly came to report, Liu Bang was also surprised, he didn't expect to come so soon.
"Come in, is there an envoy from Pengcheng?"
Liu Bang asked worriedly.
The attendant's face was surprised, and he said with a rather frightened face: "And as the king said. ” "This, it's a little too fast, according to the news, it should be two more days, I didn't expect it to be so fast, it's really incredible!"
Lu Juan said with some suspicion on the side.
But Fan Xu, who said loudly on the side: "Come and come, the reception is, anyway, after everything is discussed, just do it!"
” "Well, as Fan Xu said."
Liu Bang immediately got up and said, and then strode towards the outside of the hall, and the ministers followed closely behind, and when they saw this, they immediately went down to set up a banquet.
At the east gate of Gaocheng, Zhong Liwu and Long have not yet entered the city, Liu Bang has already walked out of the city, his expression is quite kind, and he did not wait for Long to speak, Liu Bang stepped forward directly and asked: "The two generals are the cronies of the overlord, why did they come from Pengcheng thousands of miles away today, this king has lost his welcome, and I hope to forgive me." ” "It's okay, it's okay, let's talk about everything when we go into the city."
Long Ji saw that Liu Bang was in his forties and was still approachable, so he relaxed his vigilance and said politely.
"It's okay, a banquet has been set up in the city, and the two of you don't dislike it, and talk about it in the city."
Liu Bang said goodbye and personally led the way.
After a while, he came to the main hall of the Han Palace, Zhong Li saw that there were few meat dishes on the banquet and the palace was simple, so he had a preliminary understanding of Liu Bang.
After finishing the Wang ceremony, Liu Bang pretended to be helpless and said: "Forgive me, Jiujiang is a barbarian land, there is no good wine and meat to entertain, and there is no hope for Haihan." ”
