"From the Qin Dynasty to the End of the Qing Dynasty" Chu Han (173) Waihuang Boy

In order to lure Xiang Yu's overlord tiger away from Chenggao, Liu Bang sent Lu Xie and Liu Jia to cooperate with Peng Yue to set a fire behind Xiang Yu and occupy Xiang Yu's seventeen cities.

Xiang Yu was in Chenggao, and when he heard that the backyard was on fire, his fire also came up.

Last time, it was also because the grain road was blocked by Peng Yue, he went back for a trip, but only drove Peng Yue away, and did not hurt Peng Yue;

This time, Peng Yue made a comeback and actually burned down all his grain bases, which was intolerable!

Therefore, Xiang Yu prepared to go back again, wanting to completely eliminate Peng Yue's mysterious guerrilla group.

But after he left, what would Cheng Gao do?

Xiang Yu also knew very well that Chenggao was a strategic place that was not easy to capture, and the purpose of Liu Bang's action was to take advantage of his departure and wait for an opportunity to capture it.

Therefore, he brought Sima Cao to him and wanted him to be in charge of Chenggao's defense.

Such an important matter, why did Xiang Yu let Cao Blame this person to be responsible?

This man didn't seem to have heard of any power.

In fact, as We said before Cao Wei, he was once the savior of Xiang Liang Xiangyu's uncle and nephew.

Do you remember?

During the Qin Dynasty, in Liyang, Xiang Liang was exposed to being imprisoned, and it was Cao Zhaotuo, who was a prison guard, who found Sima Xin, who was also a prison guard, to find a way to rescue Xiang Liang.

Now Cao Wei had become Xiang Yu's Grand Sima (襄黛玉).

We have repeatedly said that Xiang Yu's use of people is not meritocracy, but only relatives are lifted, only friends are lifted, and in the end, it is all these relatives and friends who are bad for Xiang Yu.

Cao Wei is no exception.

Before leaving, Xiang Yu may have realized this, but he was really uneasy about the others, so he repeatedly told Cao Wei:

"Peng Yue, the thief, is making trouble behind the widows, robbing and burning the widows' military food, which is really abominable!" This time, the widow must personally enlist and completely destroy this thief! The widow has handed over Chenggao to you, and before the widow returns, you must remember not to go out of the city to fight! As long as you stick to the city, it is a great achievement! The widow's expedition for up to fifteen days could kill Peng Yue's thieves triumphantly! During this period, you must remember the orders of the widow, and you must not make claims! ”

Cao Wei felt that this was too simple, who was willing to go out of the city to fight and fight for their lives, how comfortable it was to stay in the city, so he promised on the spot!

However, Xiang Yu was still unsteady, and asked Sima Xin to make Cao Wei a deputy general, responsible for reminding and supervising Cao Wei.

Sima Xin, I will not say more, I said too much before, in fact, he is also an incompetent person.

After everything was arranged on Chenggao's side, Xiang Yu led his troops east to attack Peng Yue.

Peng Yue this guy heard that Xiang Yu had come personally again, and he was immediately flustered.

He was well aware of Xiang Yu's strength, and did not dare to touch it hard, so he quickly gathered his troops and shrunk into outer Yellow City.

This place of Waihuangcheng should be very familiar to everyone, it is located in the west of Liangdi, that is, the westernmost of the seventeen cities occupied by Peng Yue.

Inside the Outer Yellow City, Peng Yue strengthened his defense and strictly guarded against death.

Xiang Yu came with a sense of anger, this fire did not come out, he had to burn himself to death.

When he came to the city, he saw that the Outer Yellow City was tightly guarded, and the anger in his chest suddenly spewed out, and he immediately organized an all-out attack on the city.

After several days of continuous attacks, the Outer Yellow City gradually fell out of strength, and it looked like it was about to be breached.

Peng Yue knew that the Outer Yellow City could not be defended here, so in the middle of the night, he suddenly rushed out from the north gate with a group of men and horses and broke through.

The Chu army did not catch up for a while, and turned around and continued to besiege Outer Huangcheng.

There was no commander in Outer Yellow City, and where it could still be defended, it had to take the initiative to open the city gate and surrender.

Although the city was broken, the anger in Xiang Yu's heart did not dissipate, because the people in the city actually helped Peng Yue resist the Chu army, causing him to lose his troops and fight for so long.

Coupled with letting Peng Yue this guy slip away, can Xiang Yu's fire be extinguished?

If there is a fire in the chest, we must find a way to extinguish it, how to extinguish it?

Xiang Yu was going to take the people in the Outer Yellow City to vent their anger.

So, he issued an order, and this order was almost the meaning of slaughtering the city.

He ordered people to check the whole city, and all the men in the city who were over fifteen years old were all dragged to the east of waihuangcheng and killed.

Xiang Yu killed people either by cooking or pitting, only then could he get out of the fire and vent his anger.

After the news spread, the city suddenly exploded, who does not have a man?

The people of Outer Yellow City knew that Xiang Yu, the little overlord, was not talking about playing, it was the Lord who did what he said.

The people in the city were terrified, the people were terrified, and the cries and cries resounded throughout the city, but no one could think of a way to save their loved ones.

Just then, a teenager stepped forward and wanted to save the people of the city.

Who is this teenager?

Unfortunately, his name is not recorded in the history books.

However, Sima Qian, who was like a golden man, was found in the "Records of History. Xiang Yu Benji spent a paragraph describing the deeds of this nameless teenager who saved people.

So how did he save the people of the city?

Since you want to save people, you must meet the overlord Xiang Yu who wants to kill people, and you can only persuade him to revoke his life, otherwise it is almost impossible.

On this day, after the teenager dressed up, he went to see Xiang Yu.

When he first came to the door of the Chu army barracks, he was stopped by Chu soldiers.

Chu Bing asked him what the origin of the children's family and their intrusion into the military camp was.

Although the teenager was a little nervous in his heart, he acted very calmly, only to hear him say in a depressed manner:

"My father is a housekeeper of the county order, I am thirteen years old this year, there are important things to report to Xiang Wang, please help inform me."

That Chu Bing listened to his articulateness and extraordinary exports, presumably extraordinary, so he really had to inform Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu heard that an extraordinary teenager wanted to see him, and he was also very curious, so he ordered the guards to lead him in.

After the teenager came in, he did not panic when he saw Xiang Yu, but behaved unusually calmly and calmly, fell generously, and also followed the example of an adult to give Xiang Yu a salute.

After the ceremony, he stood aside, like a little adult.

Xiang Yu saw that this young man had white lips, clear eyebrows, and a decent demeanor, and was very fond of it, so he couldn't help but reach forward and touch the young man's face, and asked softly:

"At such a young age, you dare to come alone to see a widow, aren't you afraid?"

The young man thought for a moment and said:

"The great king is the parent official, and the little man is the king's people, so what parent official does not love the people?"

This sentence is still quite level, not only pleasing Xiang Yu, but also pushing Xiang Yu to the moral high ground, so that Xiang Yu can not be fired, laying the groundwork for the persuasion behind.

After hearing this, Xiang Yu couldn't help but feel a movement in his heart, and with a happy face, he said:

"Boy, what do you have to tell the widow when you come here today?"

The teenager was asked by Xiang Yu like this, and took the opportunity to say to Xiang Yu:

"The people of Outer Yellow City have long admired the sage of the Great King, but because they were oppressed by Peng Yue's old thief, they dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, and temporarily surrendered to him. In fact, everyone looks forward to the king coming back to save them every day, and their hearts are toward the king! Now that the king has finally arrived and driven away Peng Yue, it can be said that the people in the city are grateful to the king. But where did you think that the king had just entered the city, but the city had rumors that the king would bury all the strong men over the age of fifteen alive. The villain thought that the Great King De tong Yao Shun, who had overpowered Tang Wu and was wise and courageous, would never do such a thing. Moreover, if the zhuang ding of the whole city is buried alive, it will only bring a bad reputation to the king, but it will not bring any benefit. Therefore, the villain dared to speak up and asked the king to issue an order clarifying this rumor in order to calm the people's hearts. ”

Xiang Yu's temper was violent, and when he heard this, the fire rose again, and he said angrily:

"Peng Yue oppressed the people of Waihuang, that may be true!" But the widow led the army to attack Waihuang, why did the people in the city still help Peng Yue to block the widow? The widow didn't believe it, and if he killed a few people in the city, what harm would happen! If you can give this matter to the widow, the widow will take back his life, otherwise he will kill you in a pit! ”

Xiang Yu may have felt it, or maybe he frightened the teenager, we don't know.

Faced with this situation, what would that heroic teenager say to understand Xiang Yu completely?
