Fan Zeng, as a person who is over a year old, usually has to advise Xiang Yu, who most of the time refuses to listen, and guard against Xiang Bo, who seems to be harboring a ghost, and intrigue with him, and also wants to not anger Xiang Yu too much. The next detour to achieve the goal... After a day, feel exhausted.

This morning, he watched helplessly as Xiang Bo relied on a piece of bullshit to appease Xiang Yu, and canceled the resolution of attacking and exterminating Han, almost spitting out blood on the spot.

However, the boat was done, and his words were destined to be no more important than Xiang Bo, the patriarch of the Xiang clan and a blood relative of Xiang Yu. He could not persuade Xiang Yu, who was deceived, to change his mind.

What's more, to go back on his word, for the first army coach, this is also a very bad thing.

After thinking about it, the only option was to make another plan, and to use Xiang Zhuang and others who were loyal to Xiang Yu and who were more useful in comparison, managed to eradicate Liu Bang at the farce-like Hongmen Banquet that followed.

Fan Zeng knew in his heart that for this matter to happen, he had to hide from Xiang Bo; and if he wanted to hide from Xiang Bo, he had to hide from Xiang Yu first. Unless absolutely necessary, not a word should be revealed.

Of course, it was a big taboo for the minister to deceive the master, but he couldn't care so much in front of this great opportunity.

So Fan Zeng, after saving a stomach of anger and returning to the account, didn't even have the heart to use lunch, so he hurriedly went to find Xiangzhuang and others, and after some painstaking persuasion, he finally reached a secret agreement.

Guessing that as soon as he returned to the account, he was summoned by Xiang Yu.

The timing was so coincidental that Fan Zeng was startled and wondered if Xiang Yu had secretly sent someone to spy on him.

However, Fan Zeng quickly reacted: He considered himself to be sincere and loyal, and even if he did some small hands and feet that violated Xiang Yu's password in private, it was for the sake of the overall situation of the Chu army.

He was really stalked, but he shouldn't be frightened, but it was always hard for him to believe that Xiang Yu, who was naturally proud and most disdainful of his actions, would suddenly change his temperament.

Fan Zeng thought so, and came to the main tent frankly.

As soon as he entered, he was keenly aware that Xiang Yu's face, for some reason, was a bit gloomier than when he was provoked by Liu Bang and was about to launch an army yesterday.

"General."

Fan Zeng was about to salute when Xiang Yu raised his hand to stop him. He tried his best to use a gentle tone and said politely, "Father, please sit down."

- It's really just a coincidence.

Fan Zeng quickly made a judgment.

If Xiang Yu was dissatisfied with his small actions, he would choose to attack on the spot instead of being so polite.

He can still maintain his demeanor, which shows that the source of his anger is not in himself, but in others.

He secretly guessed the reason for summoning him, but he didn't show it at all, and sat down according to the words.

It was at this moment that the corner of his eye inadvertently swept the black and red object on the small case. When he took a closer look, he was immediately horrified. He stood up on the spot and said in horror, "This is—"

How could there be a grim-faced human head that was covered in black blood that had dried up completely!

Xiang Yu was quiet and seemed to be in deep thought. After Fan Zeng regained his senses and sat down again, he briefly told the origin of the head and the little gold medal.

Fan Zeng was also stunned.

While he was still digesting this information, Xiang Yu expressionlessly threw out the blood robe he had just sent to him and received today, and said lightly, "What do you think of Yafu?"

He was in an extremely bad mood at this time. Although he tried to restrain himself, he still showed a bit of anger in the simple movements.

Fan Zeng was accustomed to Xiang Yu's anger and little laugh, and he knew that the other party's anger was definitely not directed at him at this time, so his whole mind at the moment was on the head that had just appeared terrifying. And the little gold medal on the side.

——The specific origin of this bloody suit still needs to start from the day of the Qin Palace incident.

After Liu Bang entered the customs, although he was very envious of those beautiful former Qin palace maids and countless treasures in the library, he still listened to the analysis of the overall situation by the advisers, and decided for long-term ambitions. He tried his best to hold back, except for evacuating the treasures, he basically made a noble gesture that Qiu did not commit any crimes and did not disturb the people.

In order to vent his excess energy, he not only worked hard during the screening of former Qin officials, but also held military meetings all day long, thinking about how to deal with the angry Xiang Yu.

How did he expect that when he was still hesitating about whether to execute the former Qin Ziying, someone would jump in and make this decision on his behalf?

When Liu Bang learned from the frightened guards that Ying Ziying in the claustrophobic hall had been assassinated and his head was brutally cut off, he shuddered.

When he hurriedly felt in front of the hall where Zi Ying died, and looked at the two Han soldiers with a calm expression outside the door, who had obviously been killed by their neck bones being smashed before they could react, he felt even more of a sudden shock behind his neck. Chills.

Although I don't know what kind of enemy a former Qin king who is basically useless has provoked, he ended up being assassinated in the palace and beheaded...

Just looking at the neat, ruthless and ruthless means made him shudder.

Such a well-planned killer who dared to sneak into the palace guarded by the heavy army has almost disappeared without a trace.

Intellectually knowing that there are many guards around him, even if Jing Ke is alive, it is difficult to take advantage of it, but Liu Bang still broke into a cold sweat.

Compared to Liu Bang, who was secretly afraid, Zhang Liang, who arrived a step later, quickly calmed down in front of the headless corpse that had completely lost its temperature after being surprised at first.

Unlike the others who thought it was Ying Ziying just by looking at the clothes on this headless body, he was obviously much more cautious.

In order to prevent someone with a heart from using other corpses of similar body shape to play a drama of Li Dai peach stiff, he first sent the people from the old Qin palace one by one, and asked about the physical characteristics of the children, and then asked them to check them one by one.

After some tossing, quickly got a clear answer: it is indeed Ying Ziying.

Zhang Liang couldn't help frowning.

He knew very well that it was pointless to waste his troops to track down the assassin who had disappeared. The focus now is to strengthen the guards around Liu Bang, and then how to deal with the aftermath.

After all, everyone knows that Xiang Yu, who showed great power in the Battle of Julu, was stopped outside Hangu Pass, and it was none other than Liu Bang's 100,000 Han army guarding the pass.

If the world is known, the seemingly tight Han army is actually incompetent in defense, so that the former Qin Ziying was assassinated by an assassin under the eyes of Liu Bang... Even if it is not disgraced, it is not honorable in any way.

Since he could not find the assassin, he simply used Liu Bang to comply with the wishes of the princes and kings, and personally killed the last bloodline that symbolized the former Qin Dynasty, and recognized the matter to the outside world.

Liu Bang felt apprehensive: "Do you really want to admit it?"

He originally thought of using Ziying as a puppet prime minister to show the kindness of the Han army, and it would also make it easier for him to better absorb the soldiers of the former Qin Dynasty.

As a result, when he woke up, the good plan had been soaked in soup, and he had to hold his nose to claim the execution of Ziying, which really made him unwilling.

Seeing Liu Bang's hesitation, Zhang Liang couldn't help but persuade him a few more words: "It has always been unacceptable for Ziying to be the prime minister of the country. It must be known that after Qin destroyed the six kingdoms and the blood of all countries surrendered, they were all persecuted. King Huai of Chu, who is most sympathetic to the people, how could he have saved his life? The ancestors were heavily indebted to blood, and if Ziying wanted to live and did not repay it with death, how would the general quell the anger of the people of all countries? Moreover, the palace of the Qin capital was huge and was out of character. , to use the imitation of the palace of the Six Kingdoms to imprison the people of the palace of the Six Kingdoms, such a shameful and great humiliation, how could the princes easily forgive him?

"What the ovary said is very true." Liu Bang knew that his ideas were quite bad, and he couldn't help being a little embarrassed.

Zhang Liang frowned, disapprovingly said, "Xiang Yu's army is huge, and with the power of a general, he is by no means an opponent of the Chu army. If you anger him rashly, it may lead to disaster."

Not to mention that Xiang Yu had 400,000 Chu troops with high morale at this time, and Liu Bang had only 100,000. The main general's ability to strategize and charge into battle was no match.

Liu Bang nodded, but secretly pouted, disapproving of this.

It was not until three days later that Xiang Bo visited Zhang Liang overnight and told Xiang Yu that he was going to send troops to attack Han in a rage.

Although he was helpless and disappointed by Liu Bang's ignorance of advice, premature exposure of his true ambitions, and recklessness of Li Lingzhi's stupor, Zhang Liang felt relieved when he saw that he was willing to repent in time.

With this confused worm Xiang Bo who took the initiative to send to the door, he let go of the "righteousness" and pressed against each other. In addition, Liu Bang put down his frame, and cooperated with the cheek. Finally, he worked together and temporarily blinded this murderous disaster.

In order to win the trust of Xiang Bo more effectively, and to find out the traitor who was the whistleblower, Liu Bang had an idea and handed over Ying Ziying's blood-soaked robe to Xiang Bo, saying: "...as for establishing Ying Ziying as the country. The matter of the prime minister is really a traitor's rumor! Qin and the general's family have a bloody feud, how can I reuse it? I ordered someone to behead his head earlier, and the body is still in the coffin and has not been buried, you can look at it at any time."

Otherwise, if Xiang Yu asked to take a look at Ying Ziying's corpse, they could only hand over a stinking headless corpse instead of the head, which would definitely make him suspicious.

Only by taking advantage of Xiang Yu's arrogance that no one dares to fool him, he tried to fool him.

Zhang Liang was watching, feeling vaguely uneasy, but in the future, he was unable to stop Liu Bang from handing out the blood robe that was like a double-edged sword in his eyes, so he could only smile lightly.

Should be fine...

Zhang Liang thought to himself, after all, in the past three days, after watching the reaction of the Chu army, Xiang Yu was still restless, and every day he sent messengers to condemn and scolded Liu Bang, and repeatedly mentioned the execution of Ziying.

If the assassin was a member of the Chu army, then Xiang Yu, as the instigator, should be very pleased with the revenge of his ancestors, and even humiliated the seemingly tight but evacuated guards in Liu Bang's army.

It is neither necessary nor does it seem that the city government will pretend to be confused on this matter.

Not from Chu Jun, but with such sharp and skillful skills, I am afraid that it is really a hermit who has come to the Qin Palace to kill his enemies.

"Since it was a misunderstanding, Brother Yu decided to clarify to General Xiang as a good brother."

Xiang Bo nodded confusedly, and took the blood robe carefully, Liu Bang held his hands overjoyedly, and said sadly, "I hope the eldest brother will speak for the general on behalf of the idiot, don't listen to the villain's slander and misunderstand the sincerity of the idiot. what!"

Whether Xiang Bo really didn't know or pretended to be confused and didn't say, when he returned to Chu Ying and looked for Xiang Yu to speak, he did indeed live up to his 'Liu Xiandi', the entrustment of his future children's in-laws.

Seeing Ziying's blood-robed clothes and knowing that the bloodline of his ancestors' enemies had already been executed, Xiang Yu's expression changed slightly, and with Xiang Bo's troubles, he responded to Liu Bang's request to come to Hongmen for a banquet the next day and explain himself.

——The blood coat that proved Liu Bang's 'innocence' and personally killed Ying Ziying was the one lying in front of Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng at this moment.

Fan Zeng's thoughts changed, and he was determined to make use of this matter, and he had a strong desire to see the bold and daring man who dared to sneak into the Qin Palace alone and easily took the head as a certificate of submission.

He raised his eyes and looked up at Xiang Yu, who was tall and had dark clouds on his face, and said calmly, "The general only summons his ministers, so he must have a conclusion in his mind, and he just doesn't want to believe it."

Ying Ziying has only one life, but it is absurd and comical to be divided into two credits to "claim".

There must be a falsehood between the two: either Liu Bang is playing tricks, or the hero is greedy for credit.

Even though the former has rhetoric, in fact, it firmly holds that Hangu Pass has not been released, and can only show a blood coat that is difficult to distinguish between true and false; while the latter has few words, but came to Chu Ying alone, carrying Ziying's Skull and token.

Comparing the two with sincerity, the two stand out.

Fan Zeng did not doubt that the strong man named Lu was a meticulous work sent by Liu Bang: if the other party really wanted to approach Xiang Yu because of Liu Bang's instructions, it would be too late for the Han army to cooperate. The stubble came, which led to the leakage?

The existing hard evidence is like a mountain, and the lie is almost self-defeating, and even Xiang Yu, who is extremely insensitive to politics, can't be deceived.

Xiang Yu frowned at Fan Zeng's rhetorical question, noncommittal.

He was well aware of the feud between Yafu and his uncle, so he deliberately ignored Fan Zeng's suggestion at this time.

However, although he did not think that the matter was communicated to his uncle Xiang Bo to know the truth, nor did he think that Xiang Bo participated in the scam...

But he knew that if Lu Bu hadn't taken the initiative to vote, which became the biggest flaw in their plan, then Liu Bang would have succeeded in tricking their uncle and nephew.

Maybe Liu Bang is cocking one leg, smugly laughing at him for being so foolish!

Thinking of this, Xiang Yu's eyes were full of anger.
