But it was said that Liu Bang was leading two to three thousand remaining troops to seek refuge with the false king Jingju of Chu. Unexpectedly, he met another person on the way. This man also went to seek refuge with Jingju, and brought with him more than a hundred people, each wearing bright clothes and swords. , are all knight-errant heroes.
This person was none other than Zhang Liang, but he said that after Zhang Liang sent away Xiang Bo, he never forgot his ambition to fight against Qin and attracted knights and heroes from all over the world.
Zhang Liang's attack on Bolangsha was also famous all over the world, and he even had the title of the best ranger in the world. Rangers from all over the country took the initiative to join him, and Zhang Liang now had more than a hundred people in his hands.
It's just that Zhang Liang knew that his strength was insufficient. After hearing that Chu's false king Jingju had tens of thousands of troops, he took the initiative to join him and wanted to revive Korea. He never expected that he would meet Liu Bang halfway.
Zhang Liang saw Liu Bang's thousands of troops and planned to take a detour for fear of something unexpected happening. But he didn't expect that one of Liu Bang's troops came out alone and asked, "Isn't that Zhang Zifang in front of you?"
Zhang Liang looked steadily, but he never expected that it was Xiao He, a friend he had not seen for many years.
"It turns out to be Brother Xiao!" Zhang Liang has not seen Xiao He since that year. But he knew Xiao He's character well. He had clearly exposed his identity at first, but Xiao He, as a member of the government, did not tell the truth. Therefore, when he saw Xiao He, Zhang Liang knew that this trip was okay. The two rode horses and told each other about their friendship. Sharing the experiences of these years.
Zhang Liang also learned that Xiao He was following the famous nearby Peigong.
"Even people like Xiao He willingly followed Liu Bang in rebellion. Could this Pei Gong be really talented?" Zhang Liang wondered when he heard Xiao He's current situation.
When Liu Bang learned that Xiao He had left with others, he was shocked and said, "Could it be that Xiao He wanted to leave me when he saw my defeat?"
So Liu Bang hurriedly rode on his horse, but saw Xiao He and Zhang Liang coming to visit him. Before he could introduce his identity, Liu Bang laughed and said, "It turns out that the Prime Minister of Korea is here. I forgive Liu Ji for not being far away to welcome him."
Zhang Liang was shocked when he heard about the Prime Minister of Korea, but Liu Bang laughed and said, "Everyone knows that Zhang Liang has been Prime Minister of Korea for generations, and he is the most loyal minister in the world. In order to restore the country, he even risked his life to assassinate Qin. How could Liu Bang have such a character?" Ignore the truth. Today, if we rebel against Qin, the violent Qin will be destroyed, the six kingdoms will rise, Korea will be restored, and Zhang Gong will naturally become the prime minister of Korea."
"Although I, Liu Bang, are not talented, I heard Zhang Gong's name and wanted to do my best to help Zhang Gong revive Korea. If I, Liu Bang, can become a doctor in Korea, I will be satisfied!" Liu Xu said sincerely.
Zhang Liang was immediately moved when he heard that Liu Bang was willing to help him restore his country, and he also valued Liu Bang very much. Later, I heard that Liu Bang was also nearby when he was drinking with Xiao He. It was because of this that he recognized him at a glance, and he immediately felt that Liu Bang was different.
At Liu Bang's invitation, Zhang Liang sent his hundred-man team to accompany Liu Bang. Liu Bang called Cao Shen and asked, "How much food and grass are there in the army? Can I give some to Zhang Liang's army to build morale?"
"The army only has enough food for three days. If we don't have enough, why should we give it to others?" Cao Shen said dissatisfied.
"I see that although Zhang Liang has only a hundred people, they are all superb in martial arts and are first-class heroes. If I can win his heart, I will definitely be able to seduce the thief Yong Chi and save everyone's wives and children!" Liu Bang said.
Cao Shen said, "There is no food left, but there are still hundreds of kilograms of fine wine. It belongs to Pei Gong, but it's a pity that it can't satisfy his hunger. If Pei Gong is willing to part with it, why not give it all to Zhang Liangliang!"
"Excellent!" Liu Bang said happily after hearing this, "Ranger, he likes wine but not food. If you can give him good wine, you can definitely win his heart!"
Liu Bang then ordered Cao Shen to deliver the wine to Zhang Liang's camp. The knights were very happy when they got the wine. Everyone in Zhang Liang's camp was named Pei Gong. Zhang Liang not only did not think twice, he objected to Pei Gong and was sincerely convinced. He said to his left and right, "Pei Gong treats people like a spring breeze in winter. Appreciating the autumn water in summer is the way to achieve great things."
At this time, Pei Gong came to visit. Zhang Liang asked Pei Gong to take the throne. Pei Gong could not refuse, so he sat down and Zhang Liang was willing to accompany him.
At the banquet, Duke Pei talked about how to restore Korea. Zhang Liang made suggestions, including how to raise troops, how to build a city, how to choose a king, and how to restore the country. Every word and every strategy was sincere and practical. After hearing what he said, Duke Pei greatly admired Zhang Liang. Send love.
"I heard that Zifang is an old man from Huang and is good at the Book of Changes. Can you write a hexagram for me so that I can take back Fengyi?" Liu Bang asked with a smile.
"Good!" Zhang Liang then used the "Book of Changes" to start the hexagram. After seeing the hexagram, he smiled and said, "Yong Chi's generation is no better than me. Pei Gong will definitely take back Fengyi."
Pei Gong was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately asked, "Can we restore Korea?"
"Those who make hexagrams do not make their own hexagrams!" Zhang Liang shook his head and said, "This matter involves Liang, and Liang cannot be measured."
"If that's the case, let's see if I, Liu Ji, can be a minister in the future!" Liu Bang said with a smile. Zhang Liang made a hexagram, and the hexagram image he got was the Nine-Five Supreme. The flying dragon was in the sky. Zhang Liang couldn't help shaking his hands, and he immediately smiled and said, "Perhaps Duke Pei can do it in the future." Be the king!"
"Hahaha!" Pei Gong laughed, and drank a few more drinks with Zhang Liang. He was slightly drunk, and he stood up and sang: "The strong wind is blowing, the clouds are flying, the ovary is so powerful that the world is beautiful, and the beauty is safe and travels everywhere."
When Zhang Liang heard this song, he felt that Liu Bang was extraordinary. He never thought that Liu Bang would use his drunkenness to say, "You know the ovary, who is the most beautiful woman in the world since ancient times? I heard that the Yellow Emperor had two wives, my mother and my ancestor, one was ugly and the other was beautiful." Yes. I already have a wife, so I should look for beauty in the world and follow the style of the ancients."
"Since ancient times, beauties have praised Si and Daji from afar, and Xishi has been close by!" Zhang Liang said sternly.
"How beautiful is Xi Shi?" Liu Bang asked.
"As the old saying goes, Dong Shi imitates her looks, but Xi Shi has a heart disease. Whenever her heart hurts, she can make everyone around her intoxicated by praising her heart and frowning. But there is a neighbor girl Dong Shi who is very ugly, but she likes to imitate her, and she also frowns and frowns. . But when the rich see it, they close their doors and never come out; when the poor see it, they take their wives and leave, thinking they are ghosts."
"The reason for this is that Dong Shi only knew that Xi Shi was beautiful, but he didn't know why Xi Shi was beautiful. Just like Pei Gong knew that Huang Di had two wives, but he didn't know why Huang Di had two wives."
"My mother is ugly but virtuous. She is good at exorcising evil spirits, can make mirrors, and has made great contributions to the world. Lei Zu is good at sericulture and covers the world with silk. These two ancestors are not based on their appearance, but they have made great contributions to the world. , the Yellow Emperor married her, and thus achieved the emperor's career as a human emperor."
"If Pei Gong wants to have two wives, that's fine. If he only relies on his appearance, he will forget to praise Si. Is this a disaster for Daji?"
When Liu Bang heard this, he was like a thunderbolt from the blue. He was sober, and he cupped his hands to Zhang Liang and said, "Sir, Liu Ji will bear in mind your kind words!"
So Liu Bang appointed Zhang Liang as the general of the stable, and he followed him around, just like Xiao He.
——————
This plot is the plot of Liu Bang's second meeting with Zhang Liang written by Liu Xu.
Unlike the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in which Liu Bei visited Zhuge Liang three times, there are not many stories about how Liu Bang conquered Zhang Liang in the official history.
Looking at all the historical materials, they only say that Liu Bang went to seek refuge with Jingju after his defeat. On the way, he met Zhang Liang who also took more than 100 people to seek refuge. As a result, Zhang Liang became Liu Bang's vassal in just one day. .
At first glance, this plot seems to have no problem. After all, Zhang Liang only had more than 100 people in his army at that time, and Liu Bang had thousands of troops. It is natural for more people to annex fewer people.
If Zhang Liang was an ordinary person, or was an ordinary person at that time, there would be nothing confusing about him.
But the problem is that Zhang Liang at this time is not an ordinary person. He is the epic assassin who made a shocking blow in Bolangsha and accidentally hit the passenger car. He is the idol of all rangers and is equivalent to the top of that era.
Even if Zhang Liang wanted to take refuge, he would at least have to take refuge with someone like Jing Ju, who had tens of thousands of troops and had already proclaimed himself king.
At that time, although Liu Bang had some troops, he still won many battles.
But when they met Liu Bang, his hometown was stolen, and many of the soldiers' relatives were also captured. Basically all the capital he had saved was gone, leaving only one or two thousand defeated soldiers. He looked like a bereaved dog. appearance.
The gap between Liu Bang and Zhang Liang is like the gap between Kong Lianshun and Jin Xishan. Unless Zhang Liang is reborn, no one will believe that Liu Bang will become the emperor to unify the world in the future. Otherwise, how could Zhang Liang become the emperor? Are you willing to be Liu Bang's subordinate?
Of course, history is like this, so what happened on the night when Liu Bang and Zhang Liang met, and what characteristics did Liu Bang show that made Zhang Liang admire him so much that he even believed that the 50-year-old Pei Gong was a wise master.
This has always been a very curious question in the field of history. However, there is no historical data to support it, so we can only rely on imagination.
Liu Xu himself had also thought about this issue and thought that Zhang Liang must have seen some of Liu Bang's personal characteristics, such as boldness, shamelessness, etc., so Liu Xu designed the plot of giving wine.
But it is not enough to have character advantages. Both parties must form a community of interests, so Liu Xu designed Liu Bang to promise to accompany Zhang Liang to revive Korea.
With Liu Bang's shamelessness, under the circumstances at that time, it was perfectly normal to make any promise, let alone worry about whether he could redeem his promise.
And to take a step back, Liu Bang didn't know that he would be able to be emperor in the future. At that time, Liu Bang, who only had two or three thousand people, could become the minister of South Korea, which would be a very good future.
Therefore, there is nothing logically wrong with the plot written by Liu Xu. It is up to the readers to decide whether it is good or not.
As for Liu Xu’s later changes to Da Feng Ge, some readers may feel very uncomfortable. Will they no longer be able to see the genuine Da Feng Ge?
In fact, this is not the case. According to historical data, Da Feng Song is really just a song, somewhat similar to the lyrics of later generations. It has a fixed melody and rhyme, and poets can add lyrics to it.
The same is true for the Gale Song, except that even the first line of the Gale Song has been fixed, that is, the wind is blowing and the clouds are flying. After that, the lyrics can be directly filled in according to the mood of the singer.
According to various scattered historical materials, three gale songs from the Qin and Han Dynasties have been discovered. The beginnings are all about strong winds and flying clouds, but the lyrics at the end are different. However, Liu Bang's song is the most famous.
You can imagine such a scene, just like all friends like to howl in the KTV when having dinner together, in the Qin and Han Dynasties, friends all like to compose a wind song by themselves when having dinner together, and recite the song "The wind is rising and the clouds are flying". This is also Why did Liu Bang compose the most famous gale song when he returned to Peixian County?
But in fact, before that, Liu Bang himself must have composed many different gale songs, but the realm of the words was far less tragic and majestic than the last one, so it has not been passed down.
In fact, Liu Bang himself has almost no written works that can be handed down, and almost no written works of people from the Qin and Han Dynasties have been handed down. This has to be said to be a big regret.
At the end of this paragraph, Liu Xu also designed a story in which Liu Bang went crazy under the influence of alcohol, and Zhang Liang used Dong Shi Xiaochang as an example to persuade Liu Bang not to rush to play with women. This can be regarded as Liu Xu's stabilization of Zhang Liang's character. At the same time, it enriches the plot.
This entire paragraph is basically Liu Xu’s personal creation. Luo Guanzhong also had many such personal creations in the Three Kingdoms. It’s up to the readers to judge whether the creation is good or not. But what Liu Xu didn’t expect was that this last paragraph of the story was about imitating others. But it triggered an extremely speechless large-scale storm.
Due to various reasons, the address was changed to
