Two days later, in the dead of night.
Liu Bang and Zhang Liang were sitting next to a bonfire with two wine bottles in front of them. They were talking and looking at the sky.
The stars in the sky are particularly conspicuous in the dark night, arousing endless reverie.
Zhang Liang took a sip of wine, turned his head to look at Liu Bang, and asked in a low voice: "If Xiang Yu is caught, what are you going to do?"
The two of them were talking about insignificant things, but suddenly Zhang Liang changed the topic and talked about Xiang Yu. Liu Bang couldn't help but look at him sideways.
After following Ran Fang for so long, there are some things that Ran Fang has not told him yet, but Liu Bang has already guessed them with his intelligence.
Zhang Liang's concern for Xiang's family is enough to show that their relationship is unusual.
Liu Bang thought for a while, shook his head, and then said softly: "I don't know about this either."
"However, looking at the outcome of Xiang Zhuang and Xiang Jin, you should still hope that they can put down their hatred and surrender to Da Qin."
"If not, I'm afraid they won't be spared their lives."
This result was expected by Zhang Liang, but when he heard the result, he was inevitably a little disappointed.
Taking another sip of wine, he seemed to be persuading himself and talking to Liu Bang.
"Although I have known the Xiang family for a short time, I also know their temperament and will not compromise easily."
"Back in Kuaiji County, Wang Ben led his men to destroy the Xiang family. This was an sworn hatred that they could not let go of."
"But Xiang Yu has a lot of talent. If that's all..."
Liu Bang didn't know the Xiang family, but he knew Zhang Liang very well after so long. Since he could gain Zhang Liang's respect, it meant that Xiang Yu still had some real abilities.
Moreover, he has also met Xiang Zhuang, and during the fight, he can feel that Xiang Zhuang's ability is not comparable to that of ordinary people.
"Different road non-phase plan."
"If you can persuade Xiang Yu to surrender, there may be room for improvement in this matter."
"Otherwise...the world will definitely not be able to keep him."
He was the one who persuaded Zhang Liang to come down in the first place, so the relationship between the two is a little deeper.
Zhang Liang smiled bitterly and took a sip of wine, then shook his head after taking a sip of wine.
They all knew that this was impossible.
"Don't talk about these things anymore. You have been away from home for a long time and have never sent a sealed message to your family. Aren't your family worried?"
This time it was Liu Bang's turn to smile, and his smile was very sincere.
"My man has ambitions in all directions. I want to make a fortune, so how can I be trapped by these things!"
"When I achieve something, they will definitely be very happy when I go back. Now I'm afraid that if I send this message back, it will only make the villagers laugh."
In this way, the two of them talked about their innermost thoughts under the moonlight.
It wasn't until the bonfire was extinguished and there was only silence left around that the two of them put down their wine bottles, got up and returned to their respective tents to rest.
Not long after they took a rest, Liu Bang got up and was about to find a place to solve three urgent problems. He vaguely heard some small sounds in the forest.
He immediately became more energetic and did not bother to solve his own problems. He listened carefully and once again confirmed that it was not the sound of wind and birds, but the sound of someone trying to sneak out under the cover of night.
"finally come."
He was secretly happy in his heart, and quietly returned to the tent. He went in first and called Zhang Liang: "It seems that someone has moved over there."
"I will lead my people to drive them to the trap. You and your people will intercept them from behind. You must not let them escape!"
After saying that, before Zhang Liang could react, he had already left the tent and led a group of people to the place where he heard the sound.
Zhang Liang also understood at this time that there should be movement among Xiang Yu's people on the mountain.
Without a moment's hesitation, he also greeted a group of people and entered from the direction of the mountain.
Sure enough, Liu Bang and his men were hiding in the dark, covered by trees, and Xiang Yu and the others did not realize that they had been discovered.
Suddenly, a sound of "Ah——" sounded in the dark night, which was particularly harsh.
Then there was a burst of panicked footsteps, and people exclaimed: "There is an ambush!"
"Quickly retreat!"
"There's an ambush."
But it was already too late, the "swish, swish" sound of arrows pierced the air and pierced into the flesh and blood of those who were surrounded.
At this time, Zhang Liang and his men had already reached the back, using their swords to stop those who wanted to retreat.
Attacked from the front and back, it was still unclear where the people in front were. For a moment, Xiang Yu's men were slaughtered and had no chance to fight back.
When they saw Liu Bang, Xiang Yu was the only one who was brought out by Xiang Yu. There was an arrow on his shoulder and calf, piercing deeply into his flesh.
Even Xiang Yu, who could lift a jack, looked particularly embarrassed at this moment.
Looking at Zhang Liang standing in front of him, Xiang Yu couldn't hide the hatred in his eyes. He insisted on standing there, pointed at Zhang Liang and cursed: "It's really you!"
"You traitor, you have wasted all my trust in you!"
"Zhang Liang, you must die a happy death!"
Listening to his curses, Zhang Liang's face became a little ugly.
Liu Bang stepped forward and patted Zhang Liang on the shoulder, and commanded his men: "Tie him up and send him directly to your Excellency."
"The rest of you, follow me and rush into the mountain to wipe out the remaining bandits!"
In order not to be discovered by the people on the mountain, Liu Bang did not let his men light too many torches when dealing with Xiang Yu, and Zhang Liang got rid of all the people behind him. Now the people on the mountain probably thought that Xiang Yu had already Successfully escaped.
Now that he is leading people up the mountain, he will definitely be able to catch them off guard.
So, he led the remaining people without stopping, and found a man from the Xiang family who was greedy for life and fear of death to lead the way. He passed directly from the back of the villa without disturbing anyone who was doubtful.
When he led his men into the villa, Fan Zeng and his men stood firm in front before they realized what was happening, but it was already too late when he wanted to fight back.
At this moment, many people in the city discovered that a fire suddenly broke out in the mountains outside the city in the middle of the night, and the flames soared into the sky, seeming to illuminate the entire night.
Waiting until daybreak, Liu Bang and Zhang Liang took their people and after confirming that there was no one alive on the mountain, they left here with Fan Zeng who was captured alive.
Now, even if the Xiang family wanted to raise another army, they might not have the manpower available.
The fact that Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng were arrested made so much noise, so naturally it was not hidden from Ying Zheng's informants.
When Liu Bang and others returned to the commander's residence, Wei Liang and Fusu who were beside Ying Zheng also happened to come to the door. It seemed that they came with a decree.
When several people returned home and saw Ran Fang, Wei Liang was the first to speak: "I've seen the commander."
Ran Fang was a little surprised to see Wei Liang. He had agreed with Ying Zheng that he would be solely responsible for the Xiang family's affairs. What does it mean to have Wei Liang come here now?
"Get up."
"What's the matter?"
