One deputy ambassador was just about to say something when another one put him off.
For now, they had to hear the conversation in here first.
Soon another familiar voice, naturally Xiang Zhuang’s, rang out from inside
“How can that be! Don’t you dare to slander Sir! Wait for me to return…”
Just without waiting for the other party to finish his sentence, Zhao Lang’s voice came from inside once again.
“I know you don’t believe me, humph, if I didn’t want you to lead the army to defect, I wouldn’t be telling you this.”
“This time, in the battle of Pengcheng, your Xiang clan will definitely lose!”
“Just wait if you don’t believe me, this time your Xiang’s granary has been exposed and will definitely be moved.”
“I have already sent a letter to Fan Zeng, he will tell me the location of the granary afterwards.”
“When the time comes, without the granary, let’s see what your Xiang’s hundreds of thousands of troops will eat!”
“Your struggle, it’s useless!”
One by one, the two men’s tit-for-tat voices came from the tent, but of course, Xiang Zhuang ended up saying that
“I, Xiang Zhuang, will not surrender even if I die! Nor will I, Xiang, lose!”
Soon the two deputy ambassadors saw Zhao Lang come out of the tent in a rage, and ordered
“Men! Watch him for me! He must not be given the chance to escape.”
“Also, send someone to keep an eye on the Chu’s emissary!”
“Don’t let anyone get close!”
Hearing these words, the two deputy ambassadors in the shadows hurriedly retreated, and they were going back to their places.
Such important information!
It must be brought back to the Overlord!
Our own family’s most important strategist is actually a spy of the Qin army!
Just when they had left the place, a figure appeared not far away, walking towards Zhao Lang.
When he reached Zhao Lang, he said.
“Family head, the people have already left.”
Zhao Lang nodded and said to the big dog in front of him that
“Make sure they hear you?”
The big dog returned with certainty that
“Master of the house, I heard it even further away than they did.”
“They must have heard it.”
Only then was Zhao Lang relieved, and then explained that
“Good over there, keep an eye on Xiang Zhuang, don’t really let the other side save him.”
The big dog immediately led the order.
When the big dog had gone, Hu Hai, who was on the side, said with a few moments of puzzlement that
“Brother Long, why go to such great lengths to have them people come and eavesdrop?”
“Just find a chance to reveal this news to them, won’t you?”
At this time, Zhao Lang glanced at the direction where the two messengers had left and laughed, saying
“Because people tend to believe more in what they get after working hard.”
Hearing these words, Chen Ping at the side looked at Zhao Lang in slight surprise, this chief of his had an extremely good grasp of human hearts.
After a slight hesitation, he still spoke out and said
“Chief, everything has been set up now, as long as these messengers bring back the news, they will definitely be able to divide Fan Zeng and Xiang Yu once again.”
“But why should we let Xiang Zhuang meet with Bo Xiang tomorrow? If that Xiang Zhuang says something he shouldn’t, it may be detrimental to our plan.”
Zhao Lang returned indifferently.
“Not allowing them to meet each other will instead increase suspicion.”
“Xiang Bo will have no problem with the two deputy ambassadors, just let them watch from the sidelines.”
“As for talking.”
Zhao Lang said at this time, glancing at Hu Hai, who was on one side of
“It doesn’t matter, Xiang Zhuang can’t say anything.”
After saying that, he led the men out of the place.
Early the next morning, Zhao Lang led his men to Xiang Bo’s residence.
“Brother Xiang, did you rest well last night?”
With an extremely satisfied nod, Bo Xiang returned that
“Everything was extremely good.”
After asking Xiang Bo, Zhao Lang asked the two deputy ambassadors extremely generously, giving people the impression of being open and honest.
On the contrary, the two deputy ambassadors, because of last night’s eavesdropping, were somewhat afraid to meet Zhao Lang’s eyes.
Zhao Long did not say that
“Knowing that Brother Xiang is worried about his relatives, I will take you to see Xiang Zhuang now.”
Xiang Bo was instantly overjoyed and
“Then, thank you so much, Brother Zhao.”
Soon, the group arrived at the tent where Xiang Zhuang was, and the two deputy ambassadors were blocked directly outside.
When Xiang Bo followed Zhao Lang and the others inside, he saw Xiang Zhuang lying on his bed.
“Zhuang’er, are you alright!”
When Xiang Zhuang saw Xiang Bo, his eyes also lit up and with a bit of excitement he said that
“Young Uncle!”
Bo Xiang said quickly.
“It’s good that you’re still alive! Alas, you indisputable one, why don’t you thank Brother Zhao for not killing you?”
Xiang Zhuang’s face was slightly flushed red at this time, he did not want to thank the other party.
He had something more important to tell Xiang Zhuang now.
Yesterday, Zhao Lang had suddenly come to his tent, trying to extract information and saying that Fan Zeng was his spy.
Naturally he knew about Fan Zeng’s fake surrender to Zhao Lang, but between Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng, they could no longer afford a second guess!
Trying to say something to Xiang Bo, he heard Hu Hai, who was standing by, with his head held high and with a bit of pride, saying
“Just don’t worry, I am very measured in my actions, and if I want to capture him alive, I will certainly not hurt his life.”
The capture of Xiang Zhuang was a credit to him!
Hearing these words, Xiang Zhuang’s face turned red with anger!
How could Hu Hai be worthy of being his opponent?
At once, he retorted that
“Had I not been ambushed, I would have taken your life within two rounds! ”
Hu Hai said, disdainfully.
“You still have the face to mention an ambush, I have told you that there is an ambush ahead and you still ran headlong into it.”
“This is all a good ploy on the part of my prince!”
This time Xiang Zhuang completely couldn’t hold back and said with red eyes.
“Shameless!”
Seeing that the two were about to f*ck, Zhao Lang, who was on the side, said
“Brother Xiang, you have seen the situation of Xiang Zhuang.”
“You go back and tell Yu to let out Pengcheng if he really wants me to release him.”
Xiang Bo could only smile bitterly and nod his head.
Xiang Zhuang finally came back to his senses at this time, only this time Zhao Lang did not give him another chance to speak, and walked out directly with Xiang Bo in tow.
“Brother Xiang, if you go back this time, I don’t know when the next time I want to see you will be, so you must take care of your health!”
Xiang Bo also nodded with extreme reluctance, he too could not let go of Zhao Lang.
In this world, only Zhao Lang knew him best.
However, he could only say goodbye to the other party.
Looking at Xiang Bo’s back as he left, Hu Hai, who was a little curious, said
“Brother Long, how do you know here, whether this ploy has worked or not!”
Zhao Lang blandly returned.
“They will tell me.”
“Nu, pass the order to Dale to find out the location of the Chu Chu army’s new granary.”
He did not intend to leave any way back for Fan Zeng.
Pengcheng, the Chu army’s main camp.
Xiang Yu is looking at Xiang Bo, who has returned from his mission.
“Yu’er, this time, Uncle I have sacrificed my life to accompany the other side for a day in exchange for meeting Zhuang’er.”
“Don’t worry, Zhuang’er is not seriously hurt.”
Bo Xiang grumpily spoke to Xiang Yu about the results of his mission.
After hearing this, Xiang Yu frowned and asked
“Duke Long didn’t say what it would take to release Ah Zhuang?”
Xiang Bo clacked his lips and said that
“He said that if you really want to save Ah Zhuang, you should give up Pengcheng.”
“Actually, if this Pengcheng is let go, isn’t there still many cities behind us?”
Xiang Yu was suddenly silent, the army had been preparing for so long, how was this possible?
Frowning slightly, Xiang Yu said with a few moments of dissatisfaction that
“Young Uncle, do you have any other news?”
Bo Xiang shook his head, he had drunk wine all day yesterday and slept comfortably, so how could he know anything else.
Xiang Yu waved his hand and said
“This king knows, young uncle, you go and rest first.”
With an oh, Bo Xiang walked back.
It was only when he felt the two small bags of gold grains given by Zhao Lang in his arms that he could not help but have a few complaints about Xiang Yu in his heart.
He had worked so hard to go out, how come he didn’t even get a little reward?
Compared to his brother Zhao, Yu’er was too far behind.
Only after Xiang Bo had left did Xiang Yu then look at the two deputy ambassadors who had stayed behind and said in a cold voice that
“You have let my uncle drink for a day?!”
No matter who was the ambassador, there was no such unreliability!
Which messenger didn’t go to great lengths to get information for the Lord’s family?
The two deputy ambassadors were aware of Xiang Yu’s violent temper, and one of them said in a hurry that
“Your Majesty, although Lord Xiang’s envoy is drinking, we have got extremely important news this time!”
“It’s just that…”
Speaking of this, both of them hesitated slightly.
Xiang Yu urged that
“Speak!”
The other messenger said through clenched teeth that
“We have spied news that Sir Fan Zeng is a spy of the Qin army!”
Hearing these words, Xiang Yu’s eyes snapped open!
“What did you say!”
The two messengers did not dare to hide and hurriedly told the news they had heard, one by one.
After hearing it, Xiang Yu’s complexion suddenly went cold and
“Are you saying that Yafu and the Qin army secretly corresponded and that Ah Zhuang was betrayed by him?”
“And he also said that he would pass on the location of the new granary to the Qin army?”
The two messengers nodded their heads.
Xiang Yu was silent for a while and was about to say something.
Someone outside came over and reported that
“Your Majesty, Sir Fan Zeng requests an audience.”
Xiang Yu changed his expression for a while and said that
“Stand down, you must not mention this matter to anyone.”
Only after the two messengers had retreated did Xiang Yu say that
“Please come in, sir.”
Soon Fan Zeng came in and said, urgently
“Yu’er, I have just seen that Bo Xiang has returned from his mission, what was the result of that?”
“Did you bring back any words from General Xiang?”
Looking at Fan Zeng’s eager look, he seemed to be in fear that Xiang Zhuang would say something nonsensical.
He originally wanted to ask the other party directly, but in his heart, he could not help but remember the last time when he had spoken directly to the other party, but the two of them had argued directly.
This time, he was going to try the other side in his own way.
So back he said.
“The other side said that if they wanted to be released, they would have to take Pengcheng in exchange.”
Hearing this, Fan Zeng hastened to advise that
“Pengcheng is the foundation of our army, it must not be exchanged!”
Xiang Yu knew that the other party was telling the truth, but he still could not help but feel a pang of dislike rising in his heart.
Look at his uncle, for the sake of Xiang Zhuang, this city can be given up.
Xiang Yu nodded his head and pretended not to care, saying
“In that case, we only have to fight the Qin army to save Ah Zhuang.”
Fan Zeng said, with a faint sigh.
“Then that is all we can do.”
Xiang Yu continued.
“Yafu, now that the location of the granary has been exposed, we need to re-set a location.”
“Look, how about this small city in the northwest corner?”
Fan Zeng looked at it, nodded, and said
“This place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it is also a good choice.”
Xiang Yu nodded his head and
“Good then, this place is the new granary for our army, in these few days, let the army shift their provisions.”
Fan Zeng also agreed, but hesitated for a moment and said that
“Yu’er, I see that Uncle Xiang and Zhao Lang are very close, so at this critical time, let’s not tell him the location of the new granary yet.”
“It is not too late to wait until we have finished this battle.”
Xiang Yu listened with a slightly changed expression, but finally said that
“Just listen to Yafu, only this time we can also set up more fake granaries to distract the Qin army’s attention.”
Hearing this, Fan Zeng froze slightly, he originally thought that he would need more persuasion for a while.
After all, Xiang Yu still trusted Xiang Bo, and he had not expected it to go so smoothly, and he had made such a practical suggestion.
Did it mean that Xiang Yu had really grown up again?
A pleased smile appeared on Fan Zeng’s face as he said that
“Good then, I will go and make the arrangements.”
Of course, he could only use Xiang Bo’s original team.
Looking at Fan Zeng’s back as he left, Xiang Yu’s eyes went cold.
Whether or not this was a trick set-up by the Qin army, now in the entire army, only he and Fan Zeng knew the location of the real granary.
If the Qin army had really found the granary within a short period of time, then it would be confirmed.
Of course, this time, he would not be so hasty.
Only after Fan Zeng had completely left did Xiang Yu say that
“Someone, give this king a good look at Yafu in the shadows these days, and see which people he has made contact with.”
Those carrying out this order were his personal guards, all members of Xiang’s clan.
Most reliable of all!
Soon, time passed in a flash.
A few days later, inside the Qin army camp.
At this time, the whole camp was a busy place, the Qin army was almost ready, just waiting for a suitable time.
Then the attack would be launched!
“General Han, after we launch our attack from the front, you must hold off the surrounding Chu army’s counterattack!”
“We will come back to help you after our army has wiped out the enemy’s central army. ”
Meng Yi was pointing at the map at this time, giving Han Xin and the others their tasks, and an order was distributed.
Han Xin nodded with extreme composure and led the orders with a yes.
Zhao Lang, as before, stood aside and did not participate.
It was only appropriate to leave professional matters to professional people.
Soon, the proceedings were completed and Meng Yi was about to speak to Zhao Lang, as Zhao Lang had asked him several times when the war would be ready to start.
It showed that Zhao Lang was still anxious in his heart.
But something like a war opportunity was something that could not be found.
Forcing a war would only lead to failure.
At that moment Nu hurried in and said.
“Master, a letter from Fan Zeng.”
Zhao Lang’s eyes lit up and he opened the letter straight away, quickly revealing a smile.
The letter did give Zhao Lang an address of a granary.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t the same address that Dale and the others had passed back.
In other words, Fan Zeng was not sincere in his defection.
Although he had already guessed it, Zhao Lang still had some regrets.
After the regret, Zhao Lang then said to Meng Yi that
“Admiral Meng, I have found the location of the enemy’s granary.”
“We can feint a wave to show that we already know it.”
“In this way, we can divert Fan Zeng and Xiang’s relationship.”
Meng Yi looked carefully at the location of this granary at this time, and with a slight movement in his expression, he smiled and said.
“Your Highness, this time, however, there is no need to feign an attack!”
“Because the opportunity to fight is right in front of us!”
“Pass on the order to prepare the whole army! Attack tomorrow!”
