Liu Bang hurriedly packed up and asked Liu Ying, who was talking to Chen Ping, to be called in.
"Ying, father, it's not easy!"
Liu Bang raised his head and sighed, with tears in his eyes, "Xiang Yu led 200,000 troops and attacked the city day and night. All the counties that he had captured were lost again. He also sent people to attack Aocang and destroy the corridor. He also arranged cavalry to attack the rear route. . He used every trick on my father."
"My father has to patrol the city every day, distribute food, treat the wounded, lead troops to charge, and go into battle to kill the enemy... In the past few days, my father has had more than a dozen injuries, large and small. Day by day, he has also been injured. I couldn't sleep soundly, and every time I closed my eyes, I was worried that I would never see you again."
While Liu Bang was talking, he secretly glanced at Liu Ying and found that this boy just lowered his eyelids and said nothing. Liu Bang could only grit his teeth and said, "My father will remember your words. I am still young, so my father is encouraging me." That’s it. Father is really dedicated to helping you conquer the world, and there is no slack or neglect in the slightest..."
Liu Ying suddenly raised her head and said hoarsely: "You just occasionally steal other people's concubines and have fun in broad daylight, right?"
Liu Bang hesitated and said with a sullen face: "This is an adult matter. Don't worry about it, kid. When you grow up, you will understand."
Liu Ying suddenly smiled, "Father is too polite, why should I care about this? I will only be happy, extremely happy!"
Liu Bang frowned and said, "What do you mean by Xiao Shuzi?"
"It's not interesting. My father is strong and capable. How can I be unhappy as a son?" Liu Ying gritted her teeth and said.
Liu Bang's expression softened slightly, and he took a breath and said, "If you think so, you are really a filial son to my father!"
"That's right!" Liu Ying said coldly: "I just feel sorry for my mother. She is in Chuying and has to starch and wash clothes, and her fingers are worn out. She also has to support her parents, and she is in constant fear all day long. She is in danger. But my father is here, happy and happy. First it was Mrs. Qi, and now she has robbed Wei Bao's concubine. Look at this, I'm afraid you have no intention of saving your mother, my poor mother! You are blind. , How could you marry such a good man! He, he is simply a bad person!"
Liu Ying also had tears in her eyes and cried loudly. She was even more sad than Liu Bang just now.
Who is not an actor?
Liu Bang was now at a loss, "Shuzi, stop crying... My father is afraid of two people in his life, one is your mother, and the other is you!"
Liu Bang shamelessly came over and almost begged: "How dare you forget your mother! It's not that Xiang Yu is looking too closely. I'm also afraid of disturbing the situation and don't dare to act rashly... You have to believe that I am wholeheartedly focused now." I want to save your mother, but if I don’t mean what I say, the sky will strike me like lightning!”
Liu Yingcai didn't believe this, "You are always brave and fearless. What's more, there are so many people who are telling the truth these days. God is so tired. How many people can you kill?"
Liu Bang's eyes widened angrily, what a shame!
Liu Ying refused to give in, "What I see is action! You have to come up with a solution!"
"There is a way? There is!" Liu Bang suddenly said: "I already have a way. It is not difficult to deceive Xiang Yu. What is difficult is that old Fan Zeng. He follows Xiang Yu all day long, and treats me as an enemy. He talks about getting rid of him all day long. I'm a loser. If I can kill Fan Zeng, not only can I lose an arm of Xiang Yu, but I can also take the opportunity to save your mother."
"Then how to get rid of Fan Zeng?" Liu Ying asked.
Liu Bang spread his hands and said helplessly: "Didn't I think of a way?"
"Isn't this still the same as not saying anything!"
Liu Bang said seriously: "How can it be the same? I didn't know what to do in the past, but now I don't know what to do with Fan Zeng!"
Liu Ying rolled her eyes in anger, she was really speechless when seeing such a dog father.
"Since we have to deal with Fan Zeng, we should take the right medicine. Master is also here. Let's get together and come up with a solution."
Liu Bang agreed without saying a word.
Not long after, Zhang Liang, Chen Ping, Liu Ying, and Liu Bang sat across from each other.
"Master, you know Fan Zeng, what do you think of him?"
Zhang Liang muttered: "This man has profound knowledge, broad vision, good understanding of people, and brilliant strategies. When it comes to ability, he is not inferior to me. If you must say that Fan Zeng has any shortcomings, this man is curious and capable. He takes risks and is quite arrogant. He likes to overstep his authority and do his own thing."
Liu Ying thought for a moment and then asked: "Master, can you explain it more carefully?"
Zhang Liang nodded, "When the king first entered the pass, Xiang Yu commanded the troops and horses of the princes, and then entered the pass. Fan Zeng used the excuse that the king had great ambitions and his plans were not small, and wanted to harm the king. At that time, the king had one hundred thousand soldiers and horses. , Xiang Yu's command, excluding the coalition forces of the princes, may not be much more than the king. What's more, in Guanzhong, there are old Qin people everywhere. If you really listen to Fan Zeng and plot to kill the king, the Han army will definitely rebel, and the old Qin people will also Seizing the opportunity to cause chaos. Coupled with the coalition forces of the princes, it is hard to say whether Xiang Yu can leave Guanzhong alive."
Liu Ying hurriedly looked at the old gangster and found that the corners of Liu Bang's mouth turned up, quite proudly.
It seems to be saying, if you don't want to kill Xiang Yu, he can't kill him!
Zhang Liang added: "At the Hongmen Banquet, Fan Zeng privately ordered Xiang Zhuang to assassinate the king. Afterwards, he scolded Xiang Yu, saying that Zhu Zi was not capable of planning... Although Xiang Yu did not blame Fan Zeng, he scolded Xiang Zhuang, saying that he did not respect the order and almost threatened to kill him. Kill Xiang Zhuang."
Chen Ping also said: "I have also inquired about these things, and it is indeed true! Although Fan Zeng is loyal to Xiang Yu, he treats him as an overlord. This is also their disagreement."
Liu Ying frowned slightly, seeming to have an idea.
"In that case, then find a way to deepen their rift...give Fan Zeng the opportunity to act arbitrarily and make the Overlord constantly feel humiliated and aggrieved. He will definitely not have the patience of my father. When the time comes, there will be no need for the two of them to part ways. !”
Zhang Liang was startled for a moment, then actually smiled and said: "This is a very good idea... I just need to ask Chen Shencheng to handle it."
Chen Ping rolled his eyes slightly and then smiled and said: "I have also been investigating the military situation of the Chu camp these days. At present, the Chu army has invaded Xingyang. The war is not going well and they have not returned home for a long time. Everyone is tired of war and suffers from homesickness. Xiang Yu knows these things, but Fan Zeng may not."
No matter how capable Xiang Yu is, he still has to rely on his subordinates.
These Chu troops followed him to destroy Qin, quelled the rebellion in Qi, and then fought against Liu Bang.
It has been several years since then. In the past, we have been invincible and victorious, and we have captured a lot of money. Everyone has nothing to say.
Now I can't get enough of Xingyang, and I'm far away from home. There's not enough food and grass, and I'm tired of war. It's human nature.
Chen Ping said: "We will follow the wishes of the Chu camp troops and spread the idea of negotiating peace and returning home. Fan Zeng will definitely oppose it when the time comes, and we can get rid of this old man!"
Zhang Liang pondered for a moment and then nodded.
Liu Ying showed a happy smile on her face, she was indeed Chen Ping!
Liu Bang also smiled and said: "Now that we have discussed it, let's go make arrangements. Remember to be careful. I still have to patrol the city. Let's go!"
Liu Bang left in a hurry, as if he was avoiding something.
Chen Ping also stood up and said: "Prince, I am going to see Wei Bao. I will report back to the prince when I come back."
He left too.
Liu Ying was stunned, but didn't say anything.
When he came out and didn't go far, he saw a woman kneeling at the corner. After seeing Liu Ying, she immediately knelt forward.
"The sinner, Mr. Bo, pays homage to the prince!"
Liu Ying was puzzled, "What's your crime? And why are you looking for me?"
"Returning to the prince, the sinner was originally Wei Bao's concubine. Because a fortune teller said that sinners can give birth to noble people, Wei Bao favored her."
Liu Ying suddenly realized, "So it's you? I've seen that fortune teller, and I've asked her to do some starching of female celebrities. Don't talk nonsense and deceive people."
When Bo Ji heard this, she hurriedly kowtowed and shed tears of gratitude, "The prince knows this! The sinner is just a prostitute, and his life and death are up to others, so how can he be noble? Now that the king is here, the sinner is too frightened to object."
Liu Ying frowned slightly, "This matter really has nothing to do with you."
Bo Ji was overjoyed and said quickly: "The prince is kind, and the sinner is willing to report the king's words and actions to the prince, for the prince's eyes and ears!"
"What? Are you going to betray the king?"
Bo Ji hurriedly said: "How dare the sinner! It's just that the sinner knows that the prince and the king have a deep love as father and son. The more this is the case, the more inconvenient it is to tell them... For example, in the past few days, the king himself has taken risks and suffered many injuries on his body. In order to maintain the morale of the army, the king does not want to let the soldiers know, and in order not to worry the prince, it is not easy to tell him directly. The first time the king called the sinner over, he was actually bandaging his wound. I hope the prince will notice clearly! "
Liu Ying frowned, "Is the injury serious?"
"It's not very light!" Bo Ji said with a trembling voice.
"Then do you know medical skills?"
"Know a thing or two."
Liu Ying took a deep breath, "Okay then, just take care of my father personally!"
Bo Ji hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Thank you for your generosity, Prince. My maid will definitely take good care of the king!"
