Chapter 408 Zhang Liang's Choice
"What should I do? After Zhang Liang learned about this, he would probably lead his army with Xiang Yu to move, wanting to wait until half a month later to attack the Great Qin Great Wall."
The first thing Meng Tian thought about was the safety of the Great Wall, which was understandable, because if the Huns wanted to enter the Qin Dynasty, you didn’t need to say anything, you just had to break through the Great Wall first, otherwise everything would be useless.
"If it was true as the general said, then all my preparations here would have been wasted. The reason why we spread rumors on the Huns was that the Lord had already predicted what Zhang Liang thought in his heart. He wanted to kill the Lord and restore the country to Han. Since Xiang Yu became the Shanyu of the Huns, he did not want to have frequent wars with our Qin Dynasty. Obviously, he wanted to rest and recuperate. In this situation, coupled with the fact that these two people had just had such a fierce dispute. After receiving this news, what would the general do if he was Zhang Liang?"
Now that the matter has come, Han Xin no longer hides anything and directly tells all the truths in this matter seriously. After all, they are now guarding Shangjun.
Although the plan was very safe, one thing is that once Zhang Liang did not do this according to Ying Gao's idea, and once the relationship between him and Xiang Yu failed to develop to the extent that Ying Gao expected within this period of time, what might happen was that Han Xin and Meng Tian had to use Shangjun's troops to teach Xiang Yu a lesson. Of course, this result also indicates that Ying Gao's plan failed this time.
"Zhang Liang will quietly return to his hometown in Korea alone and wait for the news of Jun Shang's death. In his heart, once this news is indeed true, he can become the monarch of Korea!"
This time, Meng Tian finally guessed Zhang Liang's possible ideas. Of course, now it can only be said that Ying Gao wanted Zhang Liang to have ideas and actions.
"If this is true, this matter will be true."
While Han Xin looked out the window, he answered Meng Tian's words. He suddenly thought of what Ying Gao had said to him before he set off. At this time, he finally understood the meaning of those words.
According to Ying Gao, the world is bustling with people, all for profit; the world is bustling with people, all for profit.
When Zhang Liang first raised the anti-Qin Qin Dynasty, he might have indeed been for the hatred in his heart and the dream of restoring his country for his homeland, but after he experienced so many failures, his heart would eventually be eroded by something else.
He was also against Qin and also with family hatred and national hatred. Why did Xiang Yu get the support of Jiangdong's children? Why did Xiang Yu become a natural king wherever he went? Why did he suffer repeated setbacks? Zhang Liang, whose status in South Korea was even higher than Xiang Yu's status in Chu, ended up being able to stay under Xiang Yu's command to give him advice.
These facts will affect Zhang Liang bit by bit, make him feel unwilling and increase his desire for power. If he wants to turn such a desire into reality, the first thing he has to do is to get rid of Xiang Yu. For Zhang Liang now, Xiang Yu can either be used by him as a gun or leave completely.
According to Ying Gao's current judgment, Xiang Yu should no longer obey Zhang Liangyan. In other words, Xiang Yu, who had already gained a foothold in the Huns, must have his own ideas and actions, and would not be like a young man, with a temper that could be just a little bit.
Although Han Xin was a little unsure in his heart, what he didn't know was that what Zhang Liang thought in his heart was almost hit by Ying Gao.
Since the last fierce quarrel broke out with Xiang Yu, the relationship between the two has not been eased. If it weren't for the old and persistent Fan Zeng who had been mediating in the middle, Xiang Yu would have driven Zhang Liang out of the Huns long ago.
On this day, Zhang Liang stared at the map in his big tent. He had been waiting for the news from Xianyang City, because according to what had been said before, this time, Feng Quji, the right prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, collected women for the emperor on the entire Qin Dynasty's territory, and the conditions were as if tailor-made for this assassination.
From that time on, Zhang Liang had an inexplicable confidence in this assassination. He believed that his bad luck must have finally come to an end this time, and the death knell of the Qin Empire was also ringing when Ying Gao began to select women within the entire Qin Dynasty.
However, since the news came over there to explain the plan for this assassination, the past few months have passed, and no news has been heard to tell him how far the matter has been carried out.
This made him feel a little restless. Zhang Liang could no longer afford to lose when he assassinated the Emperor of Daqin to this level. If he failed this time, although there were still people in Daqin who could convey some news about Daqin to him, there were no cards he could play in his hand.
It is precisely because of this that his temperament became very irritable. Such irritability and the cheerful Huns were all saying that Xiang Yu would become the greatest Chanyu on this grassland, and would lead them to the glory they had never had before, which ultimately led to the quarrel between Zhang Liang and Xiang Yu.
Although Zhang Liang did not make any extraordinary moves due to Fan Zeng's appearance on the surface, only he knew what he was thinking. He was waiting for a piece of news, one from Xianyang City, and one that could make him make a decision.
This news finally came less than a month after he quarreled with Xiang Yu.
That night, Zhang Liang's tent was suddenly lifted up, and then there was a familiar voice that he was the one he trusted the most, who had always been responsible for conveying information from the Qin Dynasty. This person often went directly to Zhang Liang when they were arranged at the junction of the Huns and the Donghu.
"How was the news so slow this time? Why did you get here directly?"
In order to keep it confidential, his letters were handed over to the people here and then handed them over to Zhang Liang. This time, this time, the situation of sneaking into Zhang Liang's tent alone in the middle of the night has occurred for the first time.
"Two months ago, I had already passed the message to Mr. Is it because Mr. forgot?"
The man was stunned when he heard the accusations after meeting Zhang Liang. He then handed the letter to Zhang Liang and explained softly.
"Oh? Who did you send the letter to that time?"
"I gave it to Mr. Fan Zeng. But the last time was just a report of safety, but this time, it was different from the past. I didn't dare to delay after reading it. I got here as soon as I saw it. The gentleman knew that it should be prepared for this matter early!"
When Zhang Liang heard Fan Zeng's name, a ruthless look appeared in his eyes, but he did not continue to say anything. He just quickly lit up the candle in the big tent, looked at the letter in his hand, and couldn't wait to read it.
Soon, Zhang Liang finished reading the letter at a glance. After reading it, he did not speak immediately, but let out a long sigh. Yes, this is exactly the result he had been looking forward to for several months. What he was waiting for was such a news.
"Sir, since this time it was said by the assassin who had entered Xianyang Palace in person, and the assassin has been trained for several years, it should be a foregone conclusion. When will the sir return to his hometown in South Korea, should he quickly inform General Xiang Yu of this matter so that he can make plans early?"
Speaking of this, Zhang Liang quickly reached out and stopped him from continuing to say. Obviously, this person did not know the conflict between Zhang Liang and Xiang Yu.
Zhang Liang did not continue to speak at this time, but his head was turning rapidly. Through what his confidant who sent the letter before, he said, the letter to report safety from the territory of Daqin had been handed over to Fan Zeng, but he did not receive any news about the letter.
Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng concealed themselves, what exactly is it for? What purpose do they have? What if the news is delivered to Fan Zeng and Xiang Yu this time, what kind of ending will they face?
These problems appeared in Zhang Liang's mind one by one. Coupled with the rumors that there was no wind and waves on the Huns' territory, and Xiang Yu's day after day's research on the stirrups and the act of finding iron ore on the grassland, Zhang Liang felt that Xiang Yu should no longer be the Xiang Yu who was thinking about revenge every day when he was in Jiangdong.
"The way is different, don't plan each other! You know and I know what happened tonight. Since the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty is already on the verge of death after returning to the territory of Daqin, we lurk in Xianyang City and plan in the chaos!"
After not thinking for a long time, Zhang Liang said this, and this sentence also represented his decision in his heart, to cut off contact with Xiang Yu, and immediately, immediately. In his heart, Xiang Yu had lost his fighting spirit and was no longer a person who deserves advice for him.
When he returned to Daqin, after the death of the Emperor of Daqin, the one who was waiting for him was the position of the newly established Korean king. When Xiang Yu suddenly realized, the strength of the Korean under his rule might have far surpassed Xiang Yu.
If you take a step forward, the new South Korea can even replace the position of Daqin, because almost all the nobles of the six countries who were well-known were killed by Ying Gao, and the rest of those like him and Xiang Yu were rare.
"Mr. I mean... I will return to Xianyang with me this time? Isn't it here?"
The one under his command was also very surprised that Zhang Liang suddenly made such a decision. After all, Zhang Liang had been under Xiang Yu for two years, and Xiang Yu was basically obedient to Zhang Liang. If he cut off contact in this way and did not inform Xiang Yu of this matter, he would really be a little unprofessional.
"That's right, have you ever been seen when you came?"
"I was seen by a group of Huns, but because I held the token given by my husband before, they didn't care."
"Okay! At this moment, you and I set out overnight. When Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng discovered it, I had already entered the Great Wall."
By this time, Zhang Liang had already made his own inner choice. He could only make suggestions for Xiang Yu day by day in the Xiongnu royal court, and under Xiang Yu's command, he could not stay there for a day. Once the emperor of the Great Qin died, the territory of the Great Qin would be extremely vast, so he could travel!
So, in the night of the Huns, Zhang Liang and his confidants secretly led two war horses, and then disappeared on the vast grassland of the Huns.
Not long after.
"Major General, Zhang Liang... actually left the royal court secretly and left with everyone. What should we do?"
What Zhang Liang did not expect was that Xiang Yu had already learned the news shortly after he walked out of the Huns' court.
After hearing this, Xiang Yu hurriedly walked out of his big tent and entered Fan Zeng's big tent. Fan Zeng's age no longer allowed Xiang Yu to summon him to his big tent in such a middle of the night.
"Father Ya, Zhang Liang has indeed had a strange intention with us. Tonight, one of them arrived in his tent. Then he and the man left the Xiongnu royal court. The direction should be to the territory of the Qin Dynasty. What should we do? If elite cavalry are sent at this time, Zhang Liang can be captured!"
Seeing that Fan Zeng was not sleeping soundly, Xiang Yu quickly helped him up and then told Fan Zeng about the matter. In fact, the reason why Xiang Yu came to Fan Zeng was that he didn't know much about what to do with Zhang Liang.
As a veteran who fled from Jiujiang County to the Huns, Zhang Liang had very helpful to him. If he was recovered this time, Zhang Liang would be a defector. According to the rules set by Xiang Yu before, he would have to be convicted, and basically he would be dead.
If Xiang Yu really lets Zhang Liang be executed in his Hun court, Xiang Yu knew that this was not a glorious thing for him and was suspected of killing a donkey, so he came to Fan Zeng to see his opinion.
"I think Zhang Liang went there because he learned that the major general had detained the news from Xianyang City before. Most of the important news came from Xianyang City. Otherwise, Zhang Liang would not have returned to the territory of the Qin Dynasty. After all, he had assassinated the emperor of the Qin Dynasty several times, and once he was discovered, he would be dead."
"What Yafu meant... his assassination plan might be successful, so he wanted to return to Daqin?"
"That's true, but for the Major General, don't act lightly. Since you don't know what to do with Zhang Liang, it's better to let him go, and maybe there will be another gain."
