Ni Chu

Several soldiers responded and conveyed Xiang Yu's order to the whole army.

Liu Bang stood beside Xiang Yu, with a slight embarrassment on his face, but the embarrassment just flashed across his face and didn't stay for long.

When Xiang Yu and Liu Bang attacked Chengyang, Xiang Ye and others had also set off from Zhen County and rushed towards Chengyang.

Along the way, Xiang Ye and others met many refugees dragging their sons and daughters along. Mengsu and Shi Lei just kept their heads on the road and didn't pay much attention to these refugees, but Xiang Ye was different. The refugees they passed by.

After many refugees passed by, Xiang Ye shook his head and sighed.Mengsu, who was walking side by side with him, looked at him with some puzzlement, and asked, "It's fine, why are you sighing?"

"I sigh for the people of Chengyang. I'm afraid no one will be able to escape this time." Xiang Ye sighed again, and said in a low voice: "Okay, let's stop talking, let's continue walking!"

"Why can't the people in Chengyang escape from birth?" Xiang Ye didn't want to say, but Meng Su wanted to break the casserole and ask the end, frowning and said: "Could it be that this time in Chengyang, Xiang Yu will still launch a campaign like he did in Xiangyang?" A massacre?"

Xiang Ye let out a long breath, he hesitated for a while, not knowing how to explain to Mengsu how he knew there would be a massacre in Chengyang.If you can't tell the reason in the vernacular, Mengsu will not believe it.But if he made it clear that he traveled over 2000 years later, Meng Su and Shi Lei would immediately treat him as a monster.

Meng Su looked at Xiang Ye suspiciously. Shi Lei, who was following behind, also noticed the abnormality of the two of them at this time, trotted a few steps to catch up, and shouted at Xiang Ye: "What are you talking about? What's so interesting? Let me know?"

Xiang Ye and Meng Su rolled his eyes at him, and Meng Su said angrily, "Is it interesting to fight and die?"

"Uh!" Shi Lei was robbed by Meng Su, scratched his head in embarrassment, and said: "It's really not interesting, what's so interesting about dead people! Let's talk, I'll go to the head to explore the way!"

After all, he ran away in a hurry.

After Shi Lei ran away, Meng Su turned his head to look at Xiang Ye and said, "I've been walking together these days, I always feel that you have something to hide from me. Since you and I are partners on the same road, why can't we treat each other with sincerity?"

Xiang Ye stopped, looked at Mengsu and said, "I have nothing to hide from you. As long as you pay attention to observe, you will definitely find that none of these fleeing people came from Chengyang. Now the Jiangdong Xiang family is Attacking Chengyang, there are no refugees fleeing, there is only one possibility, that is, Xiang's army has already approached the city before the people of Chengyang have escaped."

"That doesn't mean that Xiang Yu will definitely massacre the people of Chengyang." Meng Su frowned, and said in disbelief, "Perhaps the people of Chengyang were just controlled by the Qin army and couldn't get out of the city. Back to my old life."

"I hope so!" Xiang Ye sighed. Having studied history, he knew very well that when they marched towards Chengyang, there might be a tragic massacre going on there, and Mengsu's good wishes should not come true. up.

In Chengyang City, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang sat face to face in the wing room of the county government. A low table was placed in front of them. There is also a long wooden spoon inserted in this small wooden barrel.

In front of Xiang Yu and Liu Bang are two multi-cornered toasts.An attendant stepped forward to pick up a wooden spoon, scooped a small spoonful of cloudy liquid from the wooden bucket, and was about to add it to the cup in front of the two of them, Xiang Yu waved at him, and the attendant gently put the wooden spoon back into the bucket Inside, he bowed to the two of them and backed out.

Xiang Yu reached out to pick up the wooden spoon, scooped a spoonful of slightly turbid liquid from the wooden barrel, poured it into the cup in front of Liu Bang, and said to Liu Bang, "General Liu, this is the first time you and I have sat together to drink wine since we sent troops together. , I must not get drunk and return today!"

Liu Bang bowed slightly, and he responded nonuo.

Xiang Yu added another cup of the cloudy liquid for himself with a wooden spoon, then raised it high towards Liu Bang and said, "General Liu, this first glass of wine, you and I respect His Majesty the King together, and may I be the king of Chu!" Changlong and Wuwei will last forever!"

Liu Bang also raised his wine glass high and drank it with Xiang Yu.

After the two drank the first glass, Xiang Yu poured wine for Liu Bang and himself respectively, then he raised the glass and said to Liu Bang, "For the second glass of wine, we respect my uncle, General Xiang Liang. If he hadn't raised the rebel army , now you and I are just ordinary people in the city, how can we have the opportunity to show our talents?"

Liu Bang nodded again and again, said "yes" incessantly, raised his neck, and drank the wine again.

Xiang Yu then poured a third glass of wine for the two of them. After he picked up the glass, his face suddenly became solemn, and he said to Liu Bang with some regret: "For this third glass of wine, I want to respect the people who died in this battle." The soldiers, if they hadn't fought the Qin army desperately, you and I would not have been able to enter Chengyang before it was dark!"

After finishing speaking, he stood up, raised the wine glass high above his head, raised his head to the sky, prayed silently, then tilted his neck, and drank the glass of wine in one gulp.

Liu Bang also stood up and drank the wine like Xiang Yu.

After Xiang Yu filled the wine for the fourth time, he did not pick up the wine glass again. Instead, he looked at Liu Bang closely and said, "General Liu, now you and I are marching westward together, we must work together. Whatever our army does in the future, you and I must Take responsibility together!"

When Xiang Yu said these words, Liu Bang showed a bit of embarrassment on his face. He responded firmly twice, but didn't say whether it was okay or not.

Seeing Liu Bang's appearance, Xiang Yu couldn't help feeling a little more contemptuous. He walked to the window and pushed it open. There was a faint cry of women and children coming out of the window, mixed with some middle-aged men A terrible howl.

"There is a massacre going on outside." Xiang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, and said without the slightest emotion: "Since the first battle in Xiangyang, the world has said that I am a devil, I don't care what they say about me, all I want is All we need for the prosperity of Great Chu is for the Qin people to return our land to us!"

Liu Bang stood behind Xiang Yu silently. When Xiang Yu said these things, he didn't take it seriously. He didn't think the method of massacre was necessary to take back the land of Chu from the Qin people. To him, massacre was just a kind of catharsis. It's just a way to express your dissatisfaction.But he couldn't bear the responsibility of massacring the city. His only choice was to stand behind Xiang Yu and find a little psychological satisfaction for himself through Xiang Yu massacring the city.

"Everyone in the world is afraid of me! Fear me! This is exactly what I want!" Standing in front of the window, Xiang Yu pulled the corner of his mouth, revealing a bitter smile: "I don't want to hear these cries, I also know that they all There are parents, wives and children, but I have to kill them, because they are the enemies of our Da Chu, as long as they are the enemies of Da Chu, I will completely erase them from this world!"

Liu Bang stood straight behind Xiang Yu with his hands lowered. When Xiang Yu said these words, a strange look flashed in his eyes.

In Chengyang City, groups of Chu troops searched for men over 15 and under 70 from house to house, and the city was filled with the cries of civilians.

In an open space in the west of the city, the Qin army who surrendered and the civilians who were first captured by the Chu army were digging holes on the ground with hoes and other tools.

While the surrendered Qin army and civilians were digging pits, from time to time in the city, the Chu army escorted newly captured civilians to join the ranks of digging pits.

"Brother, are these people going to be buried alive?" A Chu army soldier looked at the captives who were busy digging holes and sweating profusely and asked the Chu army who looked older than him.

The Chu Jun who was being asked raised a finger by his mouth, made a silent gesture to him, and said in a low voice: "Hush, keep your voice down, didn't you hear General Xiang's order? All the people in the city who are over 15 years old and 70 years old The following men will be killed, these people are digging their own graves. Those who make noise and are about to die do the last thing, that will be condemned by God.”

"Oh!" Chu Jun, who was asking the question, nodded, shut his mouth quickly, and looked at the prisoners bending over to dig a hole with some compassion.

A small group of seven or eight Chu soldiers wandered around the corner of Chengyang, and stopped when they reached a big house with the door locked.

The leading officer turned his head and said to the soldiers of the Chu Army who followed behind him: "The door of this house is closed, it must not have been searched yet, I'll go in and have a look!"

The soldiers of the Chu Army behind him responded, followed the officer and ran to the gate of the house, and slammed on the gate of the house vigorously.

The knock on the door was very loud, and it was heard for a mile or two, but the door of the house was still closed. After several Chu soldiers smashed it for a long time, no one came out to open the door.

"Break open the door!" The leading Chu army officer saw that no one came to open the door for a long time, frowned, and shouted at the Chu army behind him.

Several Chu soldiers responded, and Qiqi used their shoulders to resist the gate. The gate shook a few times, but there was no sign of opening it.

"Damn, this house must be a big one, and the door is quite strong!" The officer spat on the ground, cursed and said, "Go find a log, and we'll knock the door open!"

"Okay!" As soon as several Chu soldiers heard that they were a big family, their eyes flashed with greed. Four or five of them rushed to find logs, and the rest followed behind the officer, holding their swords The handle prevents the occupants from escaping.

Not long after, the Chu soldiers who had left ran back carrying a log, and a new group of people followed behind them. When they saw the new group of people, they rushed over first. The officer of the Chu army who arrived frowned, stepped forward and clasped his fists at the leader officer of the new team of Chu army and said, "Brother, there is always someone who comes first to do things, and the house is broken. We get [-]% of the things inside, and you get [-]%." how?"
