Wai Huang Xiao Er saved the people

Liu Bang's army and the strong people worked hard to defend the outer Yellow City against the attack of Xiang Yu, the king of Chu, so that Xiang Yu attacked for many days, and the damaged soldiers failed to capture the city. Xiang Yu helped Liu Bang defend the city to the people of Huangcheng, and hated it to the bone. In the end, due to lack of water and food, Waihuangcheng was captured.

Xiang Yu entered Huangcheng and issued an order: All waihuang men over the age of 15 should be buried alive within three days. When the news came out, the whole city was in a state of panic. The crying continued day and night.

At this time, Liu Bang's army was far away from Outer Yellow City, who would save the people of Outer Yellow City?

A thirteen-year-old boy, known as "Waihuang Xiao'er", came to Xiang Yu's palace. Before he could step through the gate, he was stopped by the janitor with a spear: "This is not a place for children to play."

"Wai Huang Xiao'er" calmly said, "I want to see Xiang Yu."

The doorman thought it was ridiculous: "Hairy child, want to see our king?"

"The king often said that he was the parent of the people, and now, if I want to see my father and mother, how can I not let me?" Saying that, he pushed away the spear and broke in.

When "Waihuang Xiao'er" saw Xiang Yu, he quickly said bluntly: "You want to bury a man over 15 years old in Waihuangcheng alive, is it true?"

Xiang Yu stared angrily and shouted loudly, "Yes, they helped Liu Bang defend the city, killed my soldiers, and buried them alive to relieve the hatred in my heart."

"Wai Huang Xiao'er" said unhurriedly: "The people are desperately helping Liu Bang defend the city, and this cannot be blamed on the people, because there are rumors and legends: every time the overlord attacks a city, he will wash the whole city in blood." Now, the great king really did this, which is very unfavorable to the great king. ”

Xiang Yu turned around, held his sword in his hand, and said, "I don't believe it, killing the people will be bad for me." Don't make me angry again, or I'll bury you alive. ”

"Wai Huang Xiao'er" was not afraid at all, he said: "The great king knows that Liu Bang still occupies many cities, you have killed the people here, the news will soon spread out, everyone knows that you really have to bury the people alive every time you take a city, you will become the enemy of the people of the whole country, and all the people will fight with you to the death." Besides, are there more people or more soldiers under you? In this way, no matter how great your skill is, you will not want to conquer the world. ”

"Wai Huang Xiao'er" said with a sigh of relief: "If you give up the order to bury the people alive and instead appease the people, the news will also come out quickly, and if you win the hearts and minds of the people, you will win the world."

Xiang Yu was deeply attracted by the "Outer Yellow Child" hmmm. He woke up like a dream and shouted, "The little doll said it very well, you go and tell the people, all will be spared the death penalty."

Relying on wisdom, the "Waihuang Children" finally rescued the people in Huangcheng.
