Chapter 126 8 nonsense
Zhao Sui was silent.
Seeing this, Zhao Yi immediately stood up, clasped his fists towards Zhao Sui and said, "Father, even if they don't recommend me, I will still tell you."
"I have to go this time. If there is a shortage of food in the city, it will be a disaster."
"My father is in charge of the city, and I am going to escort the grain and grass. This will complement each other."
Zhao Sui pondered for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay, let's do it."
into the night.
Zhao Yi led a group of people out of the city through a side door and went straight to the new city in Jiaodong where food and grass were stored.
At this time, Xiang Yu was eating, eating big chunks of meat.
suddenly.
A figure quickly walked into the tent.
He raised the intelligence in his hands with both hands, "General Xiang, this is the intelligence that just came in, saying that a group of people ran away from the city."
Xiang Yu asked: "Who is it?"
The man said, "Zhao Yi, the prince of Jiaodong."
Xiang Yu chuckled and said, "Interesting, what's going on?"
The man continued, "There is a shortage of food and grass in the city."
Xiang Yu was delighted when he heard this. He smiled and said, "Could it be a false signal sent by Zhao Sui?"
The man continued: "It can't be fake!"
Xiang Yu: “Why?”
The man continued, "We released the man we captured earlier. He is still in the city now, probably recovering from his injuries."
Xiang Yu hesitated for a moment, then looked at the man again and said calmly, "Send someone to investigate. Don't be careless."
The man continued, "I obey your command!"
As Xiang Yu ate, he muttered to himself, "Are we finally running out of food? Interesting! This Zhao Sui is a ruthless man. He actually let Zhao Yi out of the city. Isn't he afraid that he will never come back?"
Thinking of this, a smug smile appeared on Xiang Yu's face.
This was the news he was waiting for.
The calls made over the past few days are just a pretext for propaganda, the purpose of which is to consume the enemy.
Soon after.
Xiang Yu summoned a general and whispered a few words to him. Then the general left the tent and led a team of troops to Xincheng.
This night was a torment for both Xiang Yu and Zhao Sui.
What Xiang Yu was waiting for was a result, the sooner the better, while what Zhao Sui was waiting for was a real result of life and death.
While Xiang Yu was thinking, footsteps were heard outside the military tent.
Then there was a voice.
Afterwards, several generals walked into the military tent and saluted Xiang Yu.
"General, why don't we send out troops? This is not a solution!"
"Now many people want to see us, but we don't dare to meet them. We just don't know what to say!"
"Some people below have already started to speculate whether the general doesn't want to attack anymore."
"..."
Xiang Yu did not speak, but listened to what everyone wanted to say.
After a long time.
Even the last person spoke before asking, "No more?"
The colleagues all shook their heads: "No more."
Xiang Yu smiled and said, "Tonight."
"My dear colleagues, let's wait and see tonight. If it succeeds, we don't need to attack the city. We just need to spread rumors and the city gate will fall by itself."
"Everyone, get ready and listen to my orders at any time. As long as I give the order, you can go."
When the colleagues heard this, they all looked surprised and puzzled.
Xiang Yu smiled and said, "You don't believe it?"
One of them immediately said, "General Xiang, we believe what you say, but this matter is too weird!"
"We also heard that the prince of Jiaodong, Zhao Yi, left the city and ran towards the new city. Could it be that there is someone inside..."
Before the general finished speaking, Xiang Yu nodded and said, "That's right."
"My dear colleagues, are you relieved now?"
"There are no casualties in this battle. We just need to wait. I think, colleagues, don't you want such a good thing?"
"Therefore, I would like to ask all my colleagues to be clear that what we need to do is to capture a city that can be directly managed, rather than leaving it empty."
"If it was an empty city, I, Xiang Yu, would have led you to attack the city immediately when I first arrived. Now I'm afraid it's already in ruins. How long would it take to build another city on top of the ruins?"
When the officials heard this, they all thought that what Xiang Yu said made sense and no one objected.
Instead, everyone had a smile on their face.
Xiang Yu immediately asked everyone to leave the camp and go to the areas under their respective management to wait for orders.
"Farewell!"
The officials said goodbye to Xiang Yu and left.
Xiang Yu was also waiting in the camp.
Two hours later, a man appeared in the camp, knelt before Xiang Yu, and reported:
"General, the people are already outside, and the food in Xincheng has all been transported to the camp by our army."
"Bring the man up here. I want to meet this prince and see what kind of person he is." Xiang Yu said with a smile.
"Yes."
The general left.
Soon after.
A young man in night clothes appeared in the camp, with a hint of arrogance on his face, and he ignored Xiang Yu.
"Still not kneeling down!"
The soldier shouted.
"Why should I kneel? I am the prince of Jiaodong. Even in the court, I don't need to kneel to you." Zhao Yi said arrogantly.
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
boom!
The two soldiers kicked Zhao Yi in the knees, and the prince fell to his knees with a thud.
"That's right." One of the soldiers chuckled.
Zhao Yi knelt on the ground, his knees in severe pain. He grimaced but did not say a word. The expression on his face remained unyielding, with no sign of surrender.
Xiang Yu saw this and waved to the two soldiers, "Get out."
"General!" two soldiers spoke at the same time.
Xiang Yu said calmly: "Who am I? Am I afraid of a mere second-rank warrior? You should leave immediately and do not stay any longer."
The two soldiers looked at each other and then left respectfully.
Zhao Yi never looked at Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu sat down, crossed his legs, and said calmly: "Zhao Yi, I know you are not convinced! But there is no way, since I was able to catch you, it is definitely not accidental."
Zhao Yi heard this and immediately understood what Xiang Yu meant. He snorted coldly, "The official who was escorting the grain back to the city was the one you let in on purpose?"
Xiang Yu smiled.
Zhao Yi cursed: "Despicable!"
Xiang Yu grinned and said, "Zhao Yi, you are the prince of Jiaodong. I am very optimistic about you. However, if you want to go against me, you are still a little naive."
"Even the people around your father are just so-so."
"I think those who let you out of the city this time did it on purpose. They knew that letting you out at this time would mean you would die, but they still resolutely sent you out."
Zhao Yi snorted coldly: "Stop talking nonsense."
