On July 15, riding Sima Li Bi waited at the ferry under the play, with a tense face.

In the battle of Chongquan (Pucheng County, Shaanxi) four days ago, Li Bi failed to catch up, so he could only hear a few words from the hastily defeated Pao Ze Luojia: About a few days ago, after the plan was disrupted by Ziying in Wangyi Palace, Zhao Gao robbed the jade seal and placed in Gaoling, the sixth prince and the tenth princess of Qin who were controlled by Yan Le, and wanted to enter the West River.

Marquis Wu Zhong was about to take Xianyang in the north, and the army either restrained the surrender in Lantian, or controlled the prisoners in Lishan, or seized the surrounding counties. ”

Wang Peng pursued all the way, and caught up with Zhao Gao in Chongquan City, which was more than 200 miles east of Xianyang.

The Chu people in the east of Luoshui are menacing, there are thousands of chariots to ride to relieve the siege of Chongquan, Wang Fei saw that the other party rode more cars and less foot soldiers, so he lightened it, after all, most of his subordinates were Wang Ben's old cavalry, fighting against it, but never expected, the Chu people rode extremely fierce and brave, and only one shot penetrated the wing of Wang Peng's army.

Under the banner of the phoenix bird, a red-armored general even burst into several formations and directly beheaded Wang Peng. Seeing that Wang Peng's banner fell and the army was defeated, although the cavalry was mobile and flexible, and more than 3,000 people successfully retreated westward, Chongquan was obtained by the Chu people, wrapped in Zhao Gao and others inside, and crossed Luoshui to the east......

"I thought that there were not many people in Jing Chu who could ride a good horse, but they were so brave."

Luo Jia injured his shoulder, and came back to complain, even if he was very impressed by the Chu army chariot, he also held his breath and was depressed.

At this time, their attempt to prove themselves in the war against the Chu people, mainly the "old Qin people", ended in defeat.

Fortunately, Marquis Wu Zhong didn't blame too much, and after asking the reason, he asked Luo Jia and Li Bi to ride Sima to replace Wang Peng, and gave Li Bi a special mission: to come to the water ferry and wait for visitors from the East!

"Any visitor from the East is the envoy of the Six Kingdoms......"

Li Bi couldn't understand that although he lost the Battle of Chongquan, the Qin army in Lantian had all been collected and redistributed, and the galloping soldiers in Lishan were also scattered and arranged to various places for temporary use for transporting grain and straw, plus the original Northern Expeditionary Army, which was enough to make up an army of 200,000, why worry that the six countries would not be broken?

These old Qin soldiers can also prove that they are not lice, why did Marquis Wu Zhong receive the envoys sent from there?

After thinking about it, Li Bi even came up with a bold idea:

"If I take the township party guards here and kill those visitors from the six countries......"

But after glancing at Ji Ying, the captain of the guard army next to him, he put away his thoughts.

After waiting for a while, the envoys from the six countries still came, and when the ship docked, Ji Ying stepped forward to greet him with a smile.

There are three envoys, and Chu envoys are short and extraordinary, and his elegant words are standard.

Zhao envoy Hou Gong is an old man with a gray beard, listening to the accent, it seems to be from the Qilu area.

Wei is a tall man with a short beard, and his accent is difficult to remove.

Talking and laughing freely, Hou Gong's face was as usual, but the younger Wei envoy Guan Gao, his face was a little uncomfortable.

After they set off a few days ago on the orders of Yafu and Kuaicher, before arriving at the play, they passed through the camp of the Northern Expeditionary Army between Liyang and Gaoling in Weibei, and protected the east of Xianyang.

"I don't know where Marquis Wu Zhong saw us?" Shima knew his mission, lowered his posture, and asked Ji Ying.

Ji Ying asked the three of them to be blindfolded, and only after asking them to get into the car did he say:

"The prince held a banquet in Hongmen to entertain the three monarchs!"

……

More than ten miles to the west of the Xixia ferry, the loess cliff in this area is washed by the rain flowing down from Lishan, and the exit at the north end is like a doorway, resembling a chasm, hence the name, it is a spacious broad plain.

After the road was bumpy and the blindfold was removed, the three envoys of Chu, Zhao and Wei found themselves in a military camp as magnificent as Weibei, surrounded by an earthen granary taller than one another—it is said that this was once a warehouse that supplied food to the prisoners of Lishan, and now became the logistics base of Heifu's "400,000 army".

"It was Heifu who did it on purpose, and these warehouses may be full."

"But it's more likely to be empty!"

Shiruma whispered to the two colleagues, and Guan Gao nodded in agreement: "That's right, it may be sand inside." ”

Hou Gong only squinted and looked around, hoping to see the grain artifact "Wooden Ox Flowing Horse".

It's a pity that Hou Gong was disappointed, and they were soon brought into the camp, and hundreds of Heifu's short guards wore heavy armor, standing on both sides of the camp road, glaring angrily at the three of them!

The old rule is that the three of them must first pass through a halberd gate, which is common for lobbyists and strategists, and they all have their own missions, and even the most timid Guan Gao is not paralyzed to the ground by fright.

After passing the halberd gate, when Ji Ying opened the tent, they finally saw the long-famous Marquis Wu Zhonghou himself......

The lights and candles in the camp were very bright, and the Marquis of Wu Zhong was really as dark as the Qianshou they had seen working all day in the fields south of Jingchu.

"This should be Heifu's fake..."The three of them secretly slandered, bowed down and said: "See Wei Gong!" ”

Deliberately calling Wei Gong instead of Wu Zhonghou really has another deep meaning.

And Heifu's opening remarks were also something that the three of them had never expected, he neither threatened nor said anything else, but asked with a smile:

"Is Xiang Yu okay?"

Shi Jian immediately replied: "Chu Shangzhu Guo beheaded Wang Fei a few days ago, and obtained more than a dozen people from Qin Yuxi and Gongzi Princess, who are fighting hard and are fine, and let us ask the captain to be safe." ”

It's no wonder that their envoy was arranged by Ya Father without Xiang Yu......

But Heifu was not impressed, and continued to ask:

"Yafu, Xiang Bo, and Xiang Zhuang are all right?"

Shima was shocked, his father Fan Zeng was famous, and Marquis Wuzhong must have heard of it, but Xiang Boyuan was in Pengcheng, and he had no deeds, let alone Xiang Zhuang, who only followed Xiang Liang back from the north a few days ago, how could Heifu know so quickly.

"Could it be that someone in our army is secretly providing information to Heifu?"

This Marquis Wu Zhong, not only knows the internal situation of the Chu State, but also knows the Xiang clan brothers very well, he is afraid that what he asked is not Xiang Zhuang, but Xiang Liang, and deliberately pointed out before starting negotiations:

"I know that the Six Kingdoms want to ask the Huns to attack me!"

Shima mentioned 10,000 cautions and answered them one by one.

"There is Lao Weigong worried, although the father is old, but the wisdom is still there. Xiang Bo was far away in Chu and pacified the rear. In addition to being unable to speak, Xiang Zhuang's physique is stronger than before, and Xiang has one more brave general! ”

"Really?" Heifu smiled: "Then Zhang Liang and Fan Hao are in the army, why didn't they come with you?" ”

Heifu suddenly mentioned Zhang Liang, not only was Shima shocked, but Hou Gong and Guan Gao also looked at each other, they all knew that Zhang Liang was a Korean Shentu and was left in charge of Yingchuan, why did Heifu suddenly ask about this person?

Shima guessed in his heart: "Zhang Liang once planned to assassinate Heifu in Jiaodong, so he asked this question?" But I heard Zhong Liwu say that he also shot an arrow at Heifu, if you want to ask the old man, you should ask Zhongli first......"

Strange, this matter is really strange, Shi Jian couldn't help but think that some time ago, Xiang Yu sent Zheng Chang as the prime minister of Han, and he did not establish the king of Han for a long time, it is said that Zhang Liang is a little dissatisfied, is it difficult to ......

There was no time to ponder this question, and new doubts followed.

"Dare to ask Duke Wei, who is Fan Xu?"

Seeing that the three of them were dumbfounded, Heifu shook his head and said: "Fan Xu, he is the first warrior of Peisi, many years ago, Wunan begged for Baiyue, and there was a lack of warriors under his command, so I asked Xiao He to invite him to play for me." I didn't want Fan Xu but didn't know how to lift, not only refused, but also fled! Such a warrior, do you not know? That's right......"

Heifu looked at the royal literati Shusun Tong: "I heard Uncle Sun Tong from Lu Di say that the current Pei Gong is called Lu Ze?" ”

"Fan Xu, Pei Gong, Lu Ze......"

Hou Gong and Guan Gao were completely stunned, but they remembered that there was indeed such a county prince in Chu State, but he was just a small person, and Fan Hao under Lu Ze was even more nameless.

He was strange, this black man didn't ask Zhao Gao, didn't ask about Yuxi, and didn't even ask about the safety of Gongzi and Princesses, and didn't listen to Pei Gong and Fan Xu, what do you mean? Shima decided to go back and make sure to show his father and check it out.

The three of them were not right, but Heifu sighed to himself: "Woohoo, things are people, things are people......"

Heifu only felt that it was a pity that none of the corners of the Hongmen Banquet were there, and Chen Ping, the only one in his own camp, was also far away in Jiaodong.

It seems that the tribute banquet he played is destined not to have one-tenth of the original classic......

But it's good to think about it, just like the battle between Chu and Han that took several days in history, in this plane, it will be replaced by a clean reunification......

"Let me put an end to those 'heroes' who have risen or will have time to become famous in the future, end this troubled world, and start a new era!"

"Okay, sit down!"

The pu mat was placed in front of the desk, Heifu sat in the east, Ji Ying sat in the south, and the three of them sat in the north, and there was an uncle and grandson who were responsible for recording today's service to the west.

In the eyes of Shusun Tong, Wu Zhonghou was more enthusiastic than usual today, but he waved his hand and said:

"Wine!"

The buckets used for drinking in the army were served full of wine, which made the three strategists with an average amount of alcohol daunted.

"If you don't drink, is it meatless to drink?"

Heifu was pleased, and waved his hand again: "Give it to the shoulder!" ”

The cook served the boiled shoulders on a wooden plate, but it was half-baked, which made the three strategists in wide robes and big sleeves even more unable to speak.

Wei made Guan Gao think that this fight of wine and raw shoulders was deliberately humiliated by Heifu, and he was angry in his heart, but he couldn't do it.

"We've had a bumpy journey, and we're really hungry, thank you Duke Wei for the food."

However, the eldest Hou Gong was refreshing, arched his hand high, and after laughing, he directly rolled up his sleeves, picked up the knife on the case, cut the still hard skin and flesh and chewed it slowly, and said:

"I heard that the people in Qin Zhong are hospitable, and if they eat wine and meat, they will not be unfavorable to the guests, I don't know if it's true."

Heifu couldn't help but glance at the old man: "I am a new Qin person, and I don't know why the Qin people are customary." ”

"Otherwise, in our opinion, Duke Wei is definitely not a Qin person, but also a Jing Chu person!"

Seeing that things deviated from his expectations, as the mastermind, Shiruma got up and said:

"Do you know what is the matter with us here?"

Heifu didn't answer, and Ji Ying on the side responded: "The banquet is a good banquet, there is no hospitality, you don't have to talk nonsense, just explain your intentions!" ”

Shima bowed his head and revealed his purpose: "In the past, the princes of Kwantung had made a covenant, and the first to enter the customs was the king, and now the prince of Wei has died in Qin, according to Xianyang, he can be the king!" ”
