After three rounds of wine.

Xiang Bo was already drunk and his eyes were blurred. Since losing power, the snobbish officials of Chu State have never taken Xiang Bo seriously. His usual filial piety was missing. Along the way, Mr. Ding's enthusiasm formed a sharp contrast with the indifference of other local officials, making Xiang Boton touching the warmth and coldness.

"Bogong, a few days ago, Zhang Zifang of Yingchuan happened to pass by. He talked about his past events with Bogong, and he couldn't help but say that he had neglected Bogong a few days ago and wanted to be humble in front of him." Mr. Ding said indifferently.

"Jifang is coming, come here, but the King of Han is getting worse and worse, and he doesn't even pay the salary he used to in the past. He is so stingy." Xiang Bo sighed and said with some regret.

In the past, he could get extra money from Liu Bang every time, but after he gradually lost power, Zhang Liang disappeared for a while, which made Xiang Bo, who had always been greedy for money, suddenly tighten his hands. Even several outdoor rooms kept outside had to transfer it to others helplessly. If he didn't make a deposit, even the last one would not be able to be saved.

"Hehe, I don't know anything about it. Zifang has been highly valued by the King of Han recently. I heard that Zhang Zifang gave General Chen a lot of good things to do when he was on the mission to Zhao State, and some of them came out of the Qin Palace." Mr. Ding smiled mysteriously and approached Xiang Bo and said.

"Qin Imperial Palace--." Xiang Bo's eyes lit up. Liu Bang's army entered Xianyang City before the Chu army. According to the practice of plucking feathers by geese, Liu Bang had definitely obtained much more good things than Xiang Yu's Chu army.

"Mr. Bo, the Zifang will come to Chen County as agreed later tomorrow. You will rest here for one night and wait for the Zifang to come. Your old friends will explain the past misunderstandings and then untie it. How about it?" Mr. Ding pretended to be anxious and righteous, and said with a heart-to-heart advice.

"This is the Chu and Han Dynasty belong to the two countries. We and Zhang Zifang are their masters, but they are gone." Xiang Bo was still hesitant, but under the influence of the turbid wine, his head became more and more drowsy.

"Where did Bo Gong say? Since my old friend is in the same place, I always have to meet him." Ding Gong's voice echoed in Xiang Bo's ears. This was the last sentence Xiang Bo heard before he was about to fall asleep.

Perfect day.

When Xiang Bo woke up from his sleep with rubbed his head, Mr. Ding was already waiting at the door of the house early. Beside him, there was another person looking at him with a smile.

"Uh. Zifang, why are you here?" Xiang Bo screamed in shock. Zhang Liang was also an old acquaintance of him. If it weren't for Zhang Liang's face, Xiang Bo wouldn't have secretly received a lot of money from Liu Bang, so he would have done something to help Liu Bang at the Hongmen Banquet.

"Mr. Zifang just arrived in Chen County last night. When he heard that you were here, he came to meet immediately. You are acquaintances, and you can get close to each other. If you have anything to say, it's a misunderstanding. As long as you untie it, it's nothing." Mr. Ding stroked his hair and white beard, and smiled so sly.

Zhang Liang did come here last night. The reason why he was so coincidental was of course not a pure coincidence. It was because Mr. Ding sent his confidant to Shangcai overnight to deliver the letter, and Zhang Liang rushed over.

Liu Bang wanted to pass the border. In fact, Zhang Liang came to Chen County to explain it to Mr. Ding in a clear way. However, Mr. Ding felt that Liu Bang was not authentic. When he felt that he was useless, he would use a little gift to give it away. Now when he found it useful, he would give it a heavy gift. Such a person is not trustworthy.

However, the conditions promised by Zhang Liang this time were really attractive. There were six small items that were brought from Xianyang. Although these jade artifacts were not big, they were all exquisitely crafted. It is said that they were all good things plundered by the Qin army from the palaces of the six kingdoms. At that time, Liu Bang took the lead in Xianyang. Although the good things in the palace had been moved away by Li Yuan, there were still many objects in the family of the ministers.

If Xiang Bo is a scapegoat with a deep background blocking him, Mr. Ding felt that he would be much safer. Although Xiang Bo is famous, he cannot resist the man's background and has a strong foundation. Although Xiang Tuo and Xiang Sheng kept away from Xiang Bo, he did not give him any more.

"Zifang, I won't interfere in this matter anymore. If the overlord knows, you will know his temper." After hearing Zhang Liang's statement, Xiang Bo's face turned red, and this time he was so hard that he was hardened.

"Bogong, I'm not to hide it. Now the Qin people are very anxious to attack Yingchuan, and there is no way for the King of Han. This time I just go north and it will not hinder the overlord's interests. If Bogong doesn't help, we will die without a place to bury him." Zhang Liang said sadly, his voice was desolate, and there was a slight silver dot in his hanging hairline.

"This - if the Prime Minister of China knew about this, it would be a big deal. But Kuai Che and his group of people said that they had agreed to Qin to take the head of the King of Han as a condition for peace talks." Xiang Bo was embarrassed.

Today is different from the past.

Although the Chu State's government is still dominated by the Xiang family, Kuai Che, Shusun Tong, An Qisheng and others joined forces with their relatives Yu Ziqi, and Yu Ji's strength is also extraordinary. If Kuai Che took advantage of the trouble of letting Liu Bang go, Xiang Bo alone would definitely not be able to withstand another round of fierce attack from the Kuai faction.

What's more, as early as after the last Hongmen Banquet, Xiang Tuo, the Xiang leader, told Xiang Bo that if he betrayed the overlord again, he would wait to be expelled from the Xiang clan.

"If Mr. Bo is worried about the prime minister's attack, it would be better to do this. The King of Han still has some valuable objects. I heard that they were flowing out of the Chu Palace in Yingdu in the past. If it was dedicated to the prime minister, what do you think?" Zhang Liang said while asking his followers to open a carefully made baggage.

Zhang Liang's eyes stared at the cluster of shiny jade and gold ware inside, and his reluctance was beyond words. To be honest, it was not easy to keep these things in your hands. Fortunately, Zhang Liang had already seen the opportunity. When he left Yingdu, he suggested that Liu Bang divide up some of the hidden weapons he had plundered from Xianyang and buried them. Otherwise, it would be a big trouble to deal with greedy guys like Chen Yu, Ding Gong, and Xiang Bo.

"That's right, the King of Han is so depressed, just to resist the powerful Qin. How can I tolerate the Li thief repeatedly humiliating me, General Ding, do you think?" Xiang Boyi reluctantly moved his eyes away from the hidden instrument, and the words began to change.

If a man does not make money, heaven will be punished by the earth.

Without money, life is really boring. After eating enough of being neglected, Xiang Bo no longer has any hope for his career. His current goal in life is to live a life of a beautiful woman in a brocade dress and a beautiful woman in her arms.

"Haha, Mr. Bo has made this promise. We and the three of us have agreed to make today's affairs come from my mouth and your ears, so that others can not know about it." Mr. Ding smiled proudly.

Xiang Bo finally agreed.

This made Mr. Ding's heart that had been hanging over the air finally fall. In fact, Mr. Ding had already known Zhang Liang's request to escape through the road. However, there seemed to be no major problem with this matter, but if one of the parties in the Chu court pursued him, he, who had no roots and no foundation, would be very likely to become a victim of the court struggle.

Unlike the unfounded Duke Ding, Xiang Bo has the Xiang family as his backer. Although Xiang Bo has been very sad recently and there are signs of being expelled by the Xiang family, no matter what, Xiang Bo's background is much deeper than that of his Duke Ding.

This is like a case of corruption and bribery. A person will always be uneasy to collect money. If he can win over one more person with greater ability and deep background, then the sky will fall and the tall one will be held back. A restless heart will barely find a little comfort and sustenance.

——.

The fourth year of the Xinli period of Qin Dynasty, on the tenth day of November.

Ten thousand Qin troops set out from Wancheng and followed the Funiu Mountain Middle Road to the Shangcai area of ​​Yingchuan County. This was the third time that the Qin army stationed in Sanchuan County and the Nanyang County troops launched an encirclement and suppression of the remnants of the Han army in Yingchuan, eradicating the roots and eliminating all evil. After receiving this order from Shenwu Hou Li Yuan, the Qin army stationed in Wancheng quickly mobilized.

Unlike the previous second time, this time the county magistrate Jiang Yu sent general Zhang Ping and Chen Xi to fight together. Under the mobilization order, the two counties of Qin State dispatched more than 12,000 troops.

The Han army is not as good as before.

After several blows and the dispersion of the fugitives, less than 5,000 people were left behind. With the current strength of Qin, Li Yuan no longer needed to lead the troops personally. It could be carried out within a local area of ​​Sanchuan County and Nanyang County.

Faced with the strong offensive of the Qin army, Liu Bang had no choice but to give up Shangcai again and drag the main force of the Han army to the border near Chen County to rest.

Relying on the experience of the previous two times, the Qin army would choose to retreat after being lost. After all, the Shangcai area is too far from the Qin controlled area, and there are hundreds of miles of uninhabited Funiu Mountains in the middle. Occupying such an enclave will only increase the burden on the Qin State, but there will not be much benefit.

However, this time Liu Bang miscalculated. The Qin army used Zhangping's army to defend Shangcai and Chen Xi's troops to continue pursuing the Han army. Han Wangxin commanded the Han army and Chen Xi's army to fight for more than 20 days. The two sides won and lost each other, but overall, the Han army had reached a point where they could not stand it.

The Qin army had supplies, but the Han army was not replenished at all. Without seeing hope, batches of Han army generals fled the team. At the beginning, Han Wangxin and Liu Jia were still determined to suppress it. In the end, the army's commander and generals and marquis level began to flee, and the morale of the Han army also plummeted.

The transfer is urgent.

In early December, in desperation, Liu Bang ordered the abandonment of the Yingchuan base and led the remaining more than 2,000 people into Chen County. The Han army was then detained by Chu general Ding Gong and handed over to Pengcheng by Xiang Bo, the doctor inspecting Chen County. When he arrived at the Baimajin area, a mutiny occurred unexpectedly.

King Liu Bang of Han and other backbone members of the Han Dynasty escaped and disappeared. Xiang Bo, the doctor who escorted these prisoners, was tied up and almost lost his life.
