General Qin

Liu Bang scolded him in public, full of anger and awe-inspiring righteousness.

Not only Xiang Ji was stunned by his scolding.

Even Zhao Tuo, who was watching the show, was stunned for a moment.

He secretly sighed, this old boy Liu Bang is so awesome.

Xiang Ji's assassination of Zhao Tuo, a general of the Qin State, was easily praised according to the values ​​of this era.

Just like Yu Rang, Nie Zheng, Zhuan Zhu, and even Jing Ke who failed to assassinate Qin, no matter whether they succeeded or failed, there will be people who will praise them.

This has nothing to do with their stance or right or wrong. The main thing to praise is their courage and fearlessness of power.

Because Xiang Ji had a family feud, it was easier for him to gain sympathy from some people, especially the survivors of the Six Kingdoms, by doing this kind of assassination.

Under such circumstances, Liu Bang reported Xiang Yu, causing Xiang Yu's assassination to fail. Regardless of whether Liu Bang did it right or not, this kind of betrayal would be despised by others and would ruin his reputation.

Once your reputation is bad, your future will naturally be bleak, and few people like to deal with betrayers.

This is where Liu Bang was smart.

His words just now made it clear to everyone that Xiang Yu had bad intentions from the beginning and wanted to trick him into dying. He was not a sincere good brother, but just used him as a tool. He, Liu Bang, had no reason to sacrifice his life for Xiang Yu.

Secondly, it shows that Liu Bang's behavior was not betrayal, but loyalty to Da Qin and the general. Xiang Ji intended to lure him to betray Qin, but Liu Bang decisively reported him.

From this perspective, Liu Bang is not a traitor, but a loyal guardian of Da Qin and the general, and a loyal and good man.

In addition, Liu Bang's words can easily win the favor of Zhao Tuo and the generals.

Fan Kuai nodded after hearing this: "His heart can be killed, his actions can be destroyed, that's good! Your name is Liu Bang, right? You can understand the importance of the general to the world and make the right choice. You are really a pure and loyal man." You are much better than this dog thief. I admire you very much."

"However, the remnant of this family does not know the destiny of heaven, and wants to risk the disapproval of the world to assassinate the general. It can be said that he is acting against heaven. You, Liu Bang, can obey nature and respond to others, which is a great kindness!"

Li Shi touched his palm and praised him.

As for Cao Shen, Han Xin, Xia Houying, Mei Yu and other Qin generals, they also looked at Liu Bang with much gentler eyes.

With these words, he elevated his reporting behavior to the level of righteousness and gained a good impression in front of the generals.

Liu Bang's face was upright and his heart was filled with joy.

You see, the general looks at me differently.

Maybe the general will accept me, Liu Bang, as a close confidant, just like he did with Xia Houying, Mei Wei and others, so that I can be trained and reused.

Just when Liu Bang was secretly happy.

Xiang Ji's whole body trembled after being scolded, and he stared at Liu Bang with red eyes.

He comes from a family of generals, has never been good at talking, and likes to solve problems with his hands. Being scolded by Liu Bang in public, he couldn't find anything to say back in a short time.

Moreover, Xiang Ji saw Liu Bang scolding and retreating behind the Qin soldiers, as if to guard against Xiang Ji's possible attack.

No matter how nice this person is, he is still afraid of death.

"Villain."

Xiang Ji cursed fiercely, spat in the direction of Liu Bang, and turned to look at Zhao Tuo who was sitting on the main seat.

He did not forget the purpose of his trip.

Although Liu Bang was hateful, Zhao Tuo destroyed his entire Xiang family!

Zhao Tuo acted very calmly towards this hateful look.

He said calmly: "Xiang Yu, put down your weapons and let us capture you."

Zhao Tuo's move was not because of his overwhelming mother's heart, but because he wanted to recruit the other party at this time.

He mainly wanted to pry out information about the other remnants of the Six Kingdoms from Xiang Yu, such as Xiang Sheng, Xiang Zhuang and others who escaped from the Xiang family, and where the traitors like Jing and others were. Although he could follow the clues and start investigating Xiang Ji's fake descendants of the Liu family, it would not be as good as Xiang Ji's own confession.

As long as he could capture Xiang Yu alive, he would go to water torture. He believed that he would not be able to pry open the mouth of this overlord of Western Chu.

"Capture without mercy?"

"Hahaha, Zhao Tuo, Zhao Tuo, do you think I, Xiang Ji, am such a person?"

Xiang Ji laughed, holding the dagger tightly in his hand, his eyes filled with sadness.

Surrounded by dozens of strong and strong Qin soldiers, and fierce generals such as Fan Kuai and Cao Shen were watching, this assassination attempt could be declared a failure.

Xiang Ji once thought about throwing a dagger out. With his strength, as long as he hit Zhao Tuo's vitals, he would probably kill him with one blow.

It's a pity that Zhao Tuo, a thief, was as afraid of death as Liu Bang, so he arranged for Mei Yi to stand between the two of them.

Xiang Ji knew Mei Yuan.

He was born in Baiyue and grew up in the mountains and forests. He has great strength and is very strong.

With Mei Wei guarding him, it was almost impossible for Xiang Ji's throwing attack to hit Zhao Tuo, and the road was blocked.

Xiang Ji couldn't kill Zhao Tuo.

Of course, he could also give up Zhao Tuo and use someone else to throw the dagger, such as Han Xin or Li Shiqi, and drag out his life before dying.

But not to mention that these people are also surrounded by sharp soldiers of the Qin army. What Xiang Ji fears most is that once he throws the dagger, he will no longer be able to resist, and he will not even be able to commit suicide. It is very likely that he will be captured alive by the Qin army. .

Xiang Ji understood the meaning of what Zhao Tuo just said.

This thief just wanted to capture him and pry out the whereabouts of Jing Tong and others from his mouth.

"Zhao Tuo is a thief who is the best at attacking the mind. No one in the world can beat him. If I fall into his hands, even if he keeps silent, he will probably use me to make plans to lure General Jing, Xiang Sheng and others to show up. .”

In an instant, Xiang Ji had made a decision in his heart.

He suddenly glared and shouted angrily: "Zhao Tuo, you go to hell, you thief!"

Xiang Ji suddenly jumped up and rushed towards Zhao Tuo.

There was a sound of crossbows, and more than ten arrows hit Xiang Ji's body, most of them concentrated on his legs and knees. It seemed that they wanted to control his mobility.

At the same time, Fan Kuai and Cao Shen rushed forward with their short soldiers.

Xiang Ji was tall and strong and had tenacious vitality. He was shot with more than ten arrows and was still able to move.

However, with his injured physical condition and the inferior bronze dagger in his hand, it was absolutely impossible for him to escape from Fan Kuai and others.

Seeing that he was about to be captured, determination flashed in Xiang Ji's eyes.

He glanced at Zhao Tuo again, who was looking at him indifferently, and then at Liu Bang, who had a complicated expression.

"I, Xiang Ji, would rather die than become a Qin prisoner!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and thrust the dagger into his throat before Fan Kuai and Cao Shen rushed over.

In the splash of bright red blood, in Xiang Ji's consciousness gradually dissipating.

He seemed to see a tall old general looking at him with a smile.

"The general of Jingchu, on the day when his master comes out, will have the glory of death but no shame of life."

"Ji'er, do you remember?"

This is the teaching that Xiang Ji has heard since he was a child. This is the last dignity of Chu generals for generations.

"Father, I remember, I did not disgrace the Xiang family."

Xiang Ji murmured in his heart.

The general of Chu will not be captured even if he dies.

At this moment, Xiang Ji seemed to see countless people from the Xiang family behind Xiang Yan.

"Father, father, uncle...I'm here."
