Chapter 127 Group of Staff
Xiang Yu sneered and said, "Zhao Yi, you don't understand at all!"
"You'd better learn it well. Those counselors of your family are just good-for-nothings."
Zhao Yi was silent.
He was also aware of the level of those people and their bad advice. Everyone was very capable, but when faced with such a big scene, it was as if they were blinded and could not see anything at all.
Also, there are no powerful people in the family.
Or a strong man leading an army.
Zhao Yi was silent. Xiang Yu continued, "Zhao Yi, you have two choices. The first is to surrender, and then persuade your father to surrender as well. I will help you to talk to my master. You know that my master is always friendly to friendly people. But if it is to unfriendly people, haha, I am afraid he will not be so friendly."
Zhao Yi listened and sneered, "You are right! Xu Ping'an is that kind of person. He is kind to his friends, but he is always ruthless to his enemies. But this time, he didn't let you attack the city, which means he also wants to win the hearts of the people."
Xiang Yu chuckled and said, "Zhao Yi, you are right. Why?"
Zhao Yi sneered and said, "Seeking fame and reputation."
Xiang Yu looked at Zhao Yi as if he was looking at a dying man. After a long moment, he said calmly, "This is the second way I want to give you. I can let you go. You and your son, prepare for the battle. I will also bring my men and horses to fight with you."
"But the people in the city..."
Zhao Yi heard this and couldn't help but frowned and asked, "Can you make the decision?"
Xiang Yu nodded: "Of course, I am a general."
"Besides, my master didn't say how to fight, so I have the final say here."
"Zhao Yi, if I can catch you, I can also let you go."
"I'll give you an incense stick of time to think about it. You have to think carefully. Do you want to surrender or go back and take the generals and soldiers in the city to fight us."
"But I also have a condition: you cannot kill the people."
Zhao Yi couldn't help but laugh bitterly when he heard this, "They are my people in Liaodong. You don't need to explain anything more. We will not make things difficult for them."
Xiang Yu chuckled and said, "This is the best."
Xiang Yu said nothing more, stepped out to agree, and wandered outside for an incense stick of time.
When he returned to the camp, he saw Zhao Yi sitting on the armchair.
I didn't even greet him when I saw him.
Xiang Yu sat back in his master's seat, looked up at Zhao Yi, and asked, "What's up?"
Zhao Yi smiled and said, "I've thought it through."
Xiang Yu's eyes lit up, and he waited for Zhao Yi's reply. The latter cleared his throat and said, "I want to go back."
Xiang Yu was a little surprised when he heard this, but he regained his composure and said with a smile, "Have you really decided?"
"This time, you will be in great danger!"
"And your father, mother, brothers and sisters."
Zhao Yi sighed and said, "I have no choice. As the prince of Jiaodong, I have never been alone since I was born. There are many people standing behind me, including the people of Jiaodong."
Xiang Yu stared at Zhao Yi and nodded, saying, "Okay, okay, very good! In that case, I will follow your idea and send you back."
Zhao Yi stood up and walked out of the camp.
Xiang Yu looked at the figure gradually disappearing into the distance and ordered his men to let the Crown Prince enter the city in a swaggering manner.
The next day.
Xiang Yu asked those who were shouting to start speaking to the people in the city.
They are only talking about this war and it will not involve the civilians.
After entering the city, there will be no large-scale massacre.
This is the Prince of Beiliang, the Prince of Pingnan’s intention, and even more so the Northern Liang’s intention.
This time the shouting came from all directions.
into the night.
Several large birds appeared in the sky above the city and dropped several packages from above.
There were papers inside with notices written on them.
After reading it, the people were all moved by the words.
"The army outside is the army of the Northern Liang prince!"
"The Emperor of the Zhao family killed the Queen of the King of Beiliang."
"Yes, it is so ungrateful. It is unfortunate that we have such a king."
"This time, His Royal Highness the Prince of Beiliang raised an army just to create a better living environment for the people of the world. He did not use any other cruel means."
"I think it's okay. As for us not being implicated, it doesn't matter to ordinary people like us who become emperor!"
Ever since.
Throughout the city, word of mouth spread, and everyone was telling each other what was happening outside.
The news soon reached the ears of Zhao Sui, King of Jiaodong.
There are also many staff members of the King of Jiaodong.
They are all gathered in the palace at this moment.
Zhao Sui frowned and said, "Well, this Xiang Yu is really a man of great skill, but he is meticulous. He does everything in an orderly manner, and not one step is done randomly. This is really surprising."
"Everyone, tell me. Now the people in the city know about this matter. Many people are discussing it. If something goes wrong, not to mention defending the city... even living in the city will be a problem."
One of them said, "Your Highness, we need to tell the people in the city not to spread rumors. Issue another document and tell everyone that it was the enemy who instigated the discord. If they break through the city, the final consequence will naturally be a massacre. If we want to protect ourselves and our families, we must fight back against the enemy."
Another man stood up and clasped his fists, saying, "Your Majesty, Mr. Wang is right. This is a trick of the enemy outside. We cannot be fooled. This morning, some soldiers picked up these things, but I had them burned."
Someone else said, "Your Majesty, let's wait for the prince to come back, and then we can start a war with the people outside."
Zhao Sui also frowned slightly, his expression somewhat solemn.
Even a little helpless.
He sighed and said, "I don't know how Yi'er is doing now!"
"I am a little worried! If we are discovered by the enemy, our lives will be in danger!"
"I shouldn't have let him go in the first place."
The counselors and generals all looked at each other and sighed inwardly.
The opponent this time was really strong, but the strange thing was that the opponent did not seem to be in a hurry to attack them, but was waiting. This always gave them the illusion that this person was outside, staring at them, and it always felt like a "cat and mouse" game.
That person is the cat and they are all mice.
"His Royal Highness is back!"
While the colleagues were discussing, a voice suddenly rang out from outside.
All the officials looked towards the door, and some had already stood up, waiting for the Prince of Jiaodong.
Zhao Yi went into the hall and met his colleagues.
The colleagues began to ask questions.
"Your Highness, what is going on?"
"Yes, Your Highness, have the food and fodder arrived?"
"We are waiting."
"We can only hold out in the city for seven more days at most."
"If there is no food, there will be chaos in the city!"
"..."
When asked, Zhao Yi showed no sign of responding. Instead, he sat down. Someone had already served tea, so he picked up the cup and drank.
