"Everyone get down! Stick to your defense zone and don't let up." Xiang Yu said seriously, with a straight face, as if everyone owed him money.
"Promise." The generals agreed, and then retreated one by one.
Xiang Yu watched the generals retreat. Wang Shouyi still stood there with a smile on his face and said, "Shouyi, if you stay here, do you have a better plan?"
"General, how can this little trick of mine be brought to light? It's just that I have something to report to the general." Wang Shouyi said respectfully, Xiang Yu was not only his superior, but also kind to him. He admired Xiang Yu.
Extremely respectful.
"You kid, every time you speak, it's like bathing in the spring breeze!" Xiang Yu scolded with a smile. Wang Shouyi really impressed him. In several battles, this kid came up with many ideas and often achieved miraculous results. If Xiang Yu wanted to use a sentence
To describe Wang Shouyi, he is my right-hand man, and I really like him.
"Haha." Wang Shouyi laughed twice and scratched his head.
"What's the matter? Tell me! Now it's just you and me, so there's no need to be too restrictive." Xiang Yu said happily, then pointed to the couch next to him and said, "Let's do it and tell you!"
"Thank you, General." Wang Shouyi said respectfully. Although Xiang Yu said that, he understood that this was in the army. Since ancient times, there have been no fathers and sons in the army, and superiors and subordinates cannot cross each other. He fully understood this truth and had always strictly disciplined himself.
After Wang Shouyi continued to do so, he thought again and again, then raised his hands and told Xiang Yu truthfully what he thought: "General, delaying is certainly the best strategy, but it can annihilate the enemy without a single blow. But..."
Xiang Yu listened carefully to Wang Shouyi's suggestion, but saw him hesitant and said with a hint of displeasure on his face: "Shouyi, there are only two of you and me, and you are so cautious in your words and deeds. Could it be that you look down on me, Xiang Yu?"
"No, I don't dare. The general has been kind to me. I have always been grateful and respectful to the general. I have no intention of doing so. The general knows this." When Wang Shouyi heard Xiang Yu's words, he was shocked and immediately turned pale.
argued.
"In this case, there is no need to be cautious. We are brothers. From now on, we will treat each other as brothers when there is no one else. It doesn't matter how much older I am than you." Xiang Yu said with a smile, a sincere look on his face.
.
"General, the last general is from a humble background..." Wang Shouyi was a little embarrassed and said in shock. He hurriedly waved his hands to explain, but was directly interrupted by Xiang Yu.
"Huh? I am your brother, am I not worthy?" Xiang Yu pretended to be displeased, with the words "I am very angry" barely written on his face.
"General, that's not what I meant." Wang Shouyi was usually very calm and composed, but at this time, his head felt like a blur and he didn't even know what to say. He seemed to have said something wrong, and the feeling was getting darker and darker.
"Since that's not what I meant, can I call you Brother Shouyi?" Seeing Wang Shouyi's embarrassed look, Xiang Yu immediately changed his face. Just now he looked angry, but now he smiled widely.
"The general thinks so highly of my little brother, I have no choice but to be respectful rather than obey orders." Wang Shouyi knew that if he kept denying it, he would not only appear hypocritical, but also create a gap between him and the general.
"Huh? What did you call me?" Xiang Yu said in a curt tone and glared at him, obviously very dissatisfied with Wang Shouyi still calling him the general.
"Brother." Wang Shouyi said gratefully, his face turning red.
"That's right. Calling him this way makes him appear close, not distant." Xiang Yu said with a smile.
"Brother, I feel deeply honored." Wang Shouyi said with great excitement. Xiang Yu was highly regarded by His Majesty and was appointed as the Pioneer General. Although he still had any titles attached to him, after this battle, he would no longer be able to become a marquis.
Wang Shouyi was originally just a little-known centurion, but Xiang Yu gave him the opportunity to take revenge. From then on, he climbed up the ladder of success, and how could he not shed tears of gratitude?
"Okay, dear brother Shouyi, tell me your opinion. I know you are very insightful, and I want to know your true opinion." Xiang Yu said with a smile. He also sincerely admired Wang Shouyi. Although this person is not necessarily a great person, he said with a smile.
He is a talented general, but he is also a rare general. Xiang Yu will never misjudge anyone.
"Brother, although your delaying strategy is wonderful, how many days can it be delayed? After a long time, the enemy will definitely become suspicious, and it will undoubtedly be like angering a group of wounded beasts. This move is very dangerous!" Wang Shouyi is very serious!
He said, looking at Xiang Yu's face, he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Xiang Yu didn't look angry.
"What my dear brother said is absolutely true. My eldest brother is also aware of this problem, but I really didn't think of a better solution than this." Xiang Yu sighed, and then continued, "Da Qin is now surrounded by enemies on all sides, and it is at a time of national crisis. Brother
I don’t want to fight head-on, but I want to preserve my strength and serve the country. I, Xiang Yu, have been greatly honored by the emperor’s kindness, and I should devote myself to it until my death.”
"My elder brother is unparalleled in his loyalty, and my younger brother admires me greatly." Wang Shouyi looked at this murderer who usually looked like a murderer, and never thought that he could have such a sincere side.
"Brother Xian, let me see the joke, haha! Brother Xian, what's your good plan?" Xiang Yu smiled awkwardly, and then asked Wang Shouyi directly.
"Brother, you never tire of deception!" Wang Shouyi said with a mysterious smile. He knew that Xiang Yu was a smart man and should be able to understand what he meant.
"Brother Xian, do you mean to accept their surrender? Then..." Xiang Yu made a gesture of wiping his neck, with a hint of emotion on his face.
"That's right, brother, let's pretend to accept their surrender, hand over their weapons, and then resettle them in batches. Isn't it like slaughtering pigs and dogs?" Wang Shouyi's gentle face showed a ruthless look.
Xiang Yu frowned and seemed to be struggling. After a long time, Xiang Yu felt a little confused and said, "Brother, your plan is indeed better than my brother's. It's just that our great country, the children of China, has used such vile abuses.
The method seems too detrimental to the country’s prestige?”
"Brother, the country is in crisis and there is no room for benevolence, justice and morality. To be kind to the enemy is to be cruel to yourself!" Wang Shouyi blushed when he heard Xiang Yu's words, but for the sake of the overall situation, he still insisted on his own ideas.
Although Xiang Yu agrees with Wang Shouyi's words, a person's character is already determined at birth. No matter how powerful the enemy he faces, Xiang Yu is confident that he can defeat him in an honest and fair manner. He can't do it with such dirty and dark methods.
"If you break your trust with one person, you will break your trust with the world. If I follow the advice of my virtuous brother, how can I, Xiang Yu, serve the people in the future? How can I face the people of the world? How can I have the face to run an army?" Xiang Yu argued that he would not be in his position to plan.
In his government, Wang Shouyi was only a commander of a thousand men, managing a thousand people. He, Xiang Yu, led hundreds of thousands of troops. If he broke his trust and acted like a villain, he would probably suffer countless criticisms.
"Brother, the brothers will understand your good intentions. You are just trying to save them from bleeding. How can they not understand?" Wang Shouyi felt helpless when he saw that Xiang Yu was very stubborn. He knew that his general was a hero.
, but I didn’t expect Xiang Yu to have such a big reaction.
"Brothers can understand, but I myself cannot understand my villainous behavior. I, Xiang Yu, am an indomitable man. Even if I don't use any means, I can still defeat any enemy. There is no one in the world who can defeat Xiang Yu in a fair and just way." Xiang Yu is full of pride.
, stood up and said loudly.
Feeling Xiang Yu's heroic spirit, Wang Shouyi sighed in his heart. He was also deeply impressed by Xiang Yu. However, whether as a subordinate or a brother, he still had to give advice: "Brother, you can't be motivated when marching or fighting.
Sooner or later you will definitely suffer!"
When Xiang Yu heard this, he had a displeased look on his face and was slightly angry in his heart. If it had been anyone else, he would have killed him long ago. He suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "No need to say more, my dear brother Ruowu
For other things, just stand down! I have made up my mind and there is no need to say more."
Seeing Xiang Yu's angry face, Wang Shouyi felt bitter in his heart and turned a little pale. He didn't feel anything after being scolded by Xiang Yu. It was just that Xiang Yu didn't listen to advice, and it was simply unreasonable to pay attention to the heroic spirit of the children of the world. Marching and fighting,
He was always trying to do whatever he could, and he didn't understand Xiang Yu's behavior at all.
"General...resign...retreat..." Wang Shouyi said in a daze, staggering to his feet and cupping his hands at Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu looked at Wang Shouyi's devastated expression and showed a hint of unbearability. He originally wanted to comfort him, but didn't want him to raise his hopes again, so he just sighed slightly in his heart and looked at him quietly.
"Wait." A sudden voice sounded in the big tent, extremely majestic.
"Who?" Xiang Yu and Wang Shouyi were startled at the same time, and immediately looked around with great vigilance.
"Don't be nervous, it's me." That majestic voice sounded again...
The two of them felt a dark shadow flash, and the curtain of the big tent seemed to be blown by the wind. A young man had already come to the big tent, staring at the two of them quietly.
When Xiang Yu saw the face of the visitor clearly, he was immediately shocked and knelt down to worship, "General Xiang Yu has come to see your majesty. I wish your majesty to control the heaven and earth and dominate the universe. The Qin Dynasty will be immortal forever, and the sun and the moon will shine together."
When Wang Shouyi heard this, he was immediately shocked. This was the first time in his life that he saw His Majesty. Is he your Majesty? He was so confused and shocked that he even forgot the etiquette.
When Xiang Yu saw Wang Shouyi losing his composure, he immediately reminded him, "Your Majesty, please don't blame me for my lax governance. Please forgive me. Why don't you come and pay homage to Your Majesty? Why are you just standing there?" He saw Wang Shouyi still looking shocked.
Looking at Your Majesty, Xiang Yu is so anxious in his heart! Isn't he usually very clever? Why did he lose his composure on such an important occasion?
"The last general, Wang Shouyi, came to see your majesty. May your majesty dominate the world and dominate the world. The Qin Dynasty will live forever, and the sun and the moon will shine together." When Xiang Yu reminded him, Wang Shouyi immediately recovered and knelt down in a hurry. He was so frightened that he was covered in cold sweat.
Unexpectedly, the first time he met His Majesty, he left a bad impression on Him. Wang Shouyi secretly despised himself.
"Okay, no need to be polite, get up! I'm on a patrol incognito, passing by here to take a look at General Xiang." Ying Zheng nodded, not caring about Wang Shouyi's rudeness, but said very kindly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The two of them thanked each other and stood up.
"Your Majesty, please take a seat." Xiang Yu walked to the side and made a gesture of invitation.
"Yes." Ying Zheng nodded, and took on Xiang Yu's position without hesitation.
"Your Majesty has just arrived, do you want me to prepare a banquet for Your Majesty?" Xiang Yu said with some anxiety. Every time he saw Your Majesty, he felt a lot of pressure in his heart. He didn't know why, it was really strange.
"No need, I'm passing by here and will leave after a while." Ying Zheng explained that he didn't want the news of his coming here to spread and hide himself from others, so he had no choice but to refuse Xiang Yu's benefits.
When Xiang Yu heard this, he immediately understood. He was not stupid. Your Majesty would come to this place where birds don't poop. He wouldn't believe it even if he was beaten to death. He could only ask respectfully: "I wonder what your Majesty's instructions are? I am all ears."
.”
"I will give you three tasks. Xiang Aiqing must complete my will." Ying Zheng ordered in a tone that could not be denied, and his face became serious, not as easy-going as before.
"Your Majesty's will will be fulfilled, even to the death." Xiang Yu immediately and categorically assured.
"Well, if all the civil and military officials in the Qin Dynasty are like Xiang Aiqing, why should I worry about the Qin Dynasty not being prosperous?" Ying Zheng laughed, making a very rare joke about Xiang Yu.
When Xiang Yu heard His Majesty's praise, even though it might not be true and was just a show of words, he inevitably felt a little vain. Xiang Yu knew that His Majesty was about to start talking about the key points, so he put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind and listened carefully.
