Chapter 657: Good Kill
"Go and call Wang Mang for me, and say that the overlord has something to discuss with him." Xiang Yu said to the sentry outside the tent.
This Wang Mang is none other than the courtiers who fanned the flames by Xiang Yu's side to abolish Zhang Liang. Originally, he had been left out in the cold for a long time because of Zhang Liang, and he had always been just idle in the barracks as an errand, but this time he really verified that Zhang Liang was really "disloyal" to Xiang Yu, and he also cut off all the soldiers in Wu Yue, so at this time, he remembered that such a person had been telling him bitterly that he was going to abolish Zhang Liang, it seems that this is the person who really thinks about me, my previous intuition is still right, such a person should be reused, Xiang Yu thought in his heart.
Wang Mang originally had no ability as a courtier, he only knew that he was waiting for death in the barracks, he still thought that it was okay, and he didn't have to worry that if he said something wrong one day, he would be beheaded by the grumpy King Xiang, and now he doesn't have so many worries, he just enjoys life so well!
At this moment, the sentry came running to call him, "Lord Wang, King Xiang is invited." ”
"King Xiang? Which item is king? ”
"Hey, what are you talking about, Lord Wang? King Xiang wants to see you by name, you are still pretending to be crazy and stupid here, you said that if you go back and tell King Xiang that you don't even know him, will he be killed by you, but I saw with my own eyes that he just killed a person in his tent, if you are summoned at this time, there will be no good thing. "This sentry isn't a serious soldier either.
has been following people like Wang Mang everywhere to fool around and desert, so if there is any situation on Xiang Wang's side, he will also reveal a little to him intentionally or unintentionally, and recently Xiang Wang snubbed Wang Mang, and he never talked about the things around Xiang Wang.
This will say that King Xiang had just killed a person with his own hands, which scared the king so much that he wanted to run away and didn't dare to see King Xiang.
Wang Mang waved his hand again and again: "No, no, I have to go, this is not a joke, what is King Xiang looking for me to do at this time, do I know the person who was killed?" ”
"Don't mention the soldier who was killed, you are really familiar with him, and this person is also a cousin of the current emperor!"
"You're talking about Jing Tao? He was killed by King Xiang! Wang Mang shouted in disbelief.
"What are you calling nonsense, and I'm not afraid of being heard, I just saw it with my own eyes before I believed it, otherwise I wouldn't believe it when others told me about it."
"Why did King Xiang kill him? Why did you summon me, although I had a good time with him before, it wasn't for the sake of accompanying him on the face of the royal family and nobles, I didn't have any friendship with him, just a friend of wine and meat. Wang Mang hurriedly cleared up the relationship between him and Jing Tao.
"So I said what are you panicking about, maybe it's a good thing for King Xiang to find you, you must know that this Jing Tao has just returned from the battle in Wu Yue, and as far as I know, he came back alone, do you know what the concept is?" The sentry asked mysteriously.
"What do you mean that he is the only soldier who went to Wuyue to attack the Republic and came back alone?"
"Isn't that right? A whole army of 300,000! There is only one person left to come back, how terrifying do you say this must be, where is the PLA so strong, I am a little scared, see if the signs are not for me, I will slip away as soon as possible, but I dare not follow King Xiang to die together. The sentry said.
Wang Mang rolled his eyes, pulled the sentry and said, "Don't say that this is really not a bad thing, I listen to you and it seems to be a good thing for me." In any case, at this time, it was the time when King Xiang was employing people, and something happened to Zhang Liang, who was either killed by the People's Liberation Army or captured by them, and maybe he had already defected to the republic. Now that King Xiang summoned me, he must be promoted to my official, haha, I finally waited for this opportunity, it is really Huang Tian who lives up to his wishes! ”
After Wang Mang figured out the reason, he excitedly pulled the sentry to see Xiang Yu, and the sentry heard Wang Mang's words really make sense, and he also smiled, maybe he could get rid of it in the future, and the same chicken and dog ascended to heaven.
When Wang Mang came to Xiang Yu's tent, he saw that several soldiers were carrying out a corpse covered with black cloth from inside, the sentry touched his arm, and he nodded, guessing in his heart that these eight achievements were the Jing Tao who was killed.
"Come in, don't let King Xiang wait for a long time, be careful that King Xiang is tired of waiting, he will kill you in a fit of anger, and your head will move when the time comes!" The Sentinel quipped.
"Go, I didn't carry it like this!" Saying that, Wang Mang didn't dare to slack off, and entered King Xiang's barracks.
"Why are you here so late, isn't it surprising how I called you." Xiang Yu said calmly while wiping the bloodstained sword that had just been killed.
Wang Mang looked down and saw the blood stains on the ground that had not been cleaned up, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe. He saluted Xiang Yu and said, "My subordinates don't dare to slack off, but I just saw a few people in and out of King Xiang's military camp, and I thought that the king was dealing with something, so I didn't dare to disturb you." ”
"There's nothing to deal with, it's nothing more than killing a soldier named Jing Tao, I heard that he and the little emperor still have some cousins, it doesn't seem reasonable for me to kill him like this. I didn't hold back the sword in my hand just now, I didn't care about him, how do you know that this kid's neck is so thin, and he bleed too much and died with a slight stroke, you can tell me how to deal with the aftermath of this matter. Xiang Yu didn't panic at all after killing someone, and he still looked insignificant.
This is clearly King Xiang is teaching himself, this time he will give himself a problem, if the answer is not good, maybe he will be left out in the cold, no, he must think carefully about how to answer this question to satisfy King Xiang.
Wang Mang pondered for a moment and said, "King Xiang, this person has killed well!" ”
"Oh? Good kill? What's a good method, you say, come and hear it? Xiang Yu put down the sword he was wiping, rested on the table, and crossed Erlang's legs to hear what Wang Mang had to say.
"I heard that this person is the only remaining soldier after Wu Yue came back from the war, King Xiang, you think, he is a cousin with the little emperor, and when the time comes, the news that King Xiang can't even defeat the people of the Republic and the whole army is wiped out will be transmitted to Jingzhou, which is not a good thing for King Xiang's prestige! So King Xiang killed well, what is the use of this kind of person staying around, at most he is a deserter who is greedy for life and afraid of death. When the time comes, when the head asks, he will say that it will be over in Wuyue to sacrifice his life for the country, which is a good thing for him, and it can be regarded as the glory of the ancestors until the death, and there is no loss to King Xiang, is it right for you to say that your subordinates are right? ”
