Good Way City.

Xu Quan, the envoy of the State of Chu, came to the gate of the city and shouted to the city: "The envoy of the State of Chu is visiting, please open the door for a while." ”

The voice reached the city wall, and Shu Yi, the guard general who had already discovered the arrival of the Chu envoy, heard it, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and sneered: "The Chu envoy came just in time, but the general is a person who sacrifices the flag, in order to show his determination to the king and the general, and he didn't want the Chu people to send it to the door by himself." ”

As he spoke, he instructed the soldiers around him, "Put down a bamboo basket." ”

When the soldiers around him heard this, they immediately threw a bamboo basket tied with a rope tied to it down the city wall.

At this time, Shu Yi walked to the city wall, poked out his head, and shouted at the Chu envoy under the city: "The two countries are at war, it is not appropriate to open the city gate, if the envoy must enter the city, please enter the basket, this general will order someone to pull you up." ”

Xu Quan was stunned for a moment, although the reason for the more general was reasonable, but he was not an ordinary envoy, but an envoy of the king of Chu.

As an envoy of the king of Chu, it is simply a shame to enter the city in a bamboo basket instead of going through the gate.

It's just that Xu Quan glanced back at the King of Chu in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and secretly thought: As long as he can persuade the Yue people to sacrifice the city, this grievance must not be cared about by the King of Chu.

After thinking about it, he walked into the bamboo basket with an ugly face, and then sat in the bamboo basket.

When Shu Yi saw that the Chu envoy was done, he immediately signaled to the soldier who was pulling the rope on his side.

Then, several soldiers pulled the bamboo basket up with great force.

Xu Quan went up to the city wall, came out of the bamboo basket, and before he could speak, he heard the Yue general of Fang Cai's probe shouting: "Come on, tie up this Chu person, put it into the ding to cook, avenge the king and the general, I will wait for dinner tonight." ”

"No." The surrounding Yue people answered loudly.

Xu Quan was stunned when he heard this, this is too unreasonable, as a messenger, he came to the city, and before he said a word, he would be sentenced to cooking.

This ······

Xu Quan was about to resist, but he was hugged by a group of Yue people, and he was instantly controlled, and then he was thrown into a fire that was burning below.

As soon as Xu Quan's head was lifted from the water, he felt the steaming outside the ding, and immediately knew that the Yue people were not scaring him, but really set fire to the ding.

Then, sensing that the water temperature was already a little hot, he immediately shouted in fright: "The two countries are not at war, is it so rude that Yue Guo is so rude?" ”

Shu Yi, who was commanding the soldiers to add firewood to Dingxia, sneered when he heard this: "My Yue country is not a country that does not pay attention to etiquette, but the Chu country was rude first, when the two countries besieged the Qi country, they suddenly attacked Huaibei, and then killed the widow, and now they are attacking my Yue country's city, such a shameless act, where can I Yue country use to talk to Chu country." ”

Xu Quan was stunned and hurriedly retorted: "How can our country be regarded as a sneak attack on Huaibei? This Huaibei is clearly the Yue Gongzi Yu dedicated to the widow, my Chu army came to Huaibei, but to accept their own land, how can it be regarded as a sneak attack? ”

"Sophistry!" Shu Yi was immediately furious when he heard this, took a big step to the side of the ding, and then swung his iron fist and hit Xu Quan's head, punching several times in a row, until he felt a burning heat in his legs, he retreated from the side of the ding, and said loudly to Xu Quan: "That traitor Gongzi Yu, since the moment he betrayed the Yue Kingdom and betrayed the king, he is no longer the son of my Yue Kingdom, but a thief."

The orders of the rebellious ministers and thieves, how can the loyal people of my country obey them? The promise of the rebellious ministers and thieves, how can I admit it, and how can the traitors agree to the sacrifice of land to the Chu State! ”

As he spoke, an even greater anger surged up, making Shu Yi not vomit and said unhappily: "Moreover, since the day the State of Chu attacked the State of Qi, it has been stranded in Yinan without any action, until the traitors raised troops in Wucheng, and then they went straight to the land of Huaibei of our Yue Kingdom.

The king led his army back south, and he must not betray the covenant first. Even if the Chu people are clever and eloquent, but justice is in the hearts of the people, how can the actions of the Chu State against the allies block the mouths of the people in the world. ”

At this time, Xu Quan, whose whole face was full of heat and tears, was speechless when he listened to Shu Yi's words.

Although the state of Chu has always flaunted its righteousness, it is impossible to explain it in the face of the bitter master's scolding under the absolute strength.

So, he immediately changed the topic and shouted loudly: "In the Chu State, it is not worth mentioning, if Your Excellency kills me to vent his anger, aren't you afraid that the King of Chu will be angry, ambush millions of corpses, and bleed and drifting?" ”

Shu Yi was stunned when she heard this.

Seeing that General Yue didn't say anything, Xu Quan immediately made persistent efforts and said: "Even if the general doesn't think about himself, does he also think about his family?" Even if the general doesn't think about the family, doesn't he think about the tens of thousands of people in the city?

At this time, 200,000 Chu army Chen soldiers outside, and Shandao City, less than two zhang high, less than 1,000 soldiers, once the Chu army attacked the city in a big way, just a small city of Shandao, how long can it stop the Chu army, half a day, or a day?

I hope the general will not make a mistake about himself! ”

After a pause, Xu Quan spoke again: "Before entering the city, the widow had already promised that if the general sacrificed the city, the widow would retain the position of the general, and would also be promoted to the first level, if the general was unwilling to serve the Chu State, the widow would not be reluctant, and would give a thousand gold to let the general leave on his own." ”

"Hahaha..." Shu Yi let out a series of crazy laughter when he heard this, and then seemed to say to Xu Quan, as if he was saying it to himself, and said loudly: "Although power and money are the dreams of the general, if you want the general to let go of the morality in his heart, give up the responsibilities handed over to the general by the king and the general, and dedicate Huaibei to the Chu State that killed the king and the general, this kind of thing will not be possible."

As he spoke, his eyes turned to Xu Quan, and then he looked at him disdainfully and said, "Also, could it be that your Chu State only has this ability, isn't it coercion or temptation?" ”

Xu Quan saw that Yue Jiang was soft and hard, and noticed that the water in the Ding was getting hotter and hotter, so he hurriedly shouted to Yue Jiang: "I am the envoy of the King of Chu, you dare to kill me?" ”

Shu Yi saw that the Chu envoy was already very nervous, and suddenly seemed to drink a bowl of cold wine on a hot summer day, a smile appeared on his face, and then, his eyes looked at the Chu envoy viciously, and sneered: "Don't say that you are a mere envoy of the King of Chu, even the King of Chu is in front, and the general is also cooked." It's a pity that Ben Jiang couldn't catch the king of Chu, so he had to cook the envoy of the king of Chu. ”

"Crazy." Xu Quan heard that General Yue actually said such a rebellious thing as cooking the King of Chu, and saw that General Yue's face was distorted, as if he was crazy, and he knew that General Yue was not joking, if the King of Chu really fell into his hands, I am afraid that he would really cook the King of Chu.

Thinking about it, Xu Quan immediately dispelled the idea of persuading the general.

So, he immediately shouted at the surrounding Yue soldiers: "Everyone, I am the envoy of the king of Chu, if I die in the city, I will definitely make the king of Chu outside the city lose face." When the Chu army breaks through the city, aren't you afraid that the king of Chu will be angry and reduce all of you to slaves? Do you want to accompany this madman to the funeral? ”

The other soldiers on the city wall were stunned, and many of them showed hesitation.

However, before he could wait long, on the city wall, a Yue soldier shouted: "The Chu people are despicable, and use despicable means to murder the king and the general, I have been favored by the general for a long time, and today, I am willing to give up my family and avenge the general." ”

Then, a Vietnamese soldier shouted: "If you can't kill the King of Chu, then kill the envoy of the King of Chu!" ”

Just for a moment, the other soldiers shouted one after another: "Avenge the general..."
