In the Qin army's commander's tent, blood splattered and dyed the generals' armor red.
Xiang Ji's burly body fell heavily to the ground.
The intimidating double pupils gradually lost their luster.
The overlord of Western Chu died.
Zhao Tuo looked at this scene and sighed.
Ever since he came to this world and joined the Qin camp, he has always regarded Xiang Ji as a thorn in his side, a thorn in his flesh, and regarded him as the number one enemy to overthrow Qin. He has been sending people to search for Xiang Ji's traces, hoping to find an opportunity to kill him.
, completely eliminate your worries.
Unexpectedly, Xiang Ji, who had not been found for so many years, suddenly appeared in the land of Baiyue and died in front of Zhao Tuo.
Zhao Tuo breathed a sigh of relief now that his confidant was dead, but at the same time he was inevitably a little disappointed.
Regardless of whether Xiang Ji is famous or infamous in history, he is still an outstanding figure of his generation.
"If you live as a hero, you will die as a ghost."
He sighed secretly and recited the poem that had been passed down through the ages in his heart.
In this life, Xiang Ji did not have the reputation of being invincible in the world in history. He just died as an assassin, but the emotions contained in it were equally tragic and desolate.
From Xiang Ji's point of view, the motherland was destroyed, the family was destroyed, and a teenage boy lived under the rule of the enemy with hatred, and never forgot to plot revenge.
In the end, he became a general of the enemy camp by virtue of his bravery, hoping to avenge his country and his family. In the end, he was betrayed by the villain, and his success failed.
If this incident spreads, it will be a touching story no matter how you say it. If someone writes "Biographies of Assassins" in the future, Xiang Ji will definitely have a place and leave his name in history.
"From this chronicle to the biographies."
Zhao Tuo shook his head.
Xiang Ji was evaluated by later generations as "the bravest of feathers, unparalleled throughout the ages." He fought a giant elephant in this life, and beheaded King Luo among thousands of troops, which proved that he was indeed brave enough for thousands of men.
Knowing in advance that Xiang Ji would assassinate him, Zhao Tuo wore three layers of armor and removed his sword.
At the same time, he arranged for Mei Rong, Fan Kuai, Cao Shen and other fierce generals, as well as Xia Houying and Han Xin to lead dozens of fully armed short soldiers to successfully force him to death. Such arrangements and arrangements were full of fear for Xiang Ji.
The reason why Xiang Ji fell from a generation of overlord to the point where the assassination failed was actually due to circumstances.
With Zhao Tuo's participation, this era has long been completely different from the original history.
Not to mention being an overlord of the Western Chu, haven't you seen Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty who was ranked ninth in history, standing in the tent with a respectful look on his face at this moment?
Zhao Tuo glanced at Liu Bang who was shocked by Xiang Ji's death, waved his hand and said to Xia Houying: "Take Xiang Ji's body down, check all the people Xiang Ji has come into contact with since he joined the army, and be wary of the rest of the Xiang family's party.
In the army."
"only."
Xia Houying took the order, came forward with his short soldiers, and carried Xiang Ji's body away, leaving only blood all over the ground.
Fan Kuai snorted: "This kid is indeed very brave, but if he dares to assassinate the general, he will die unjustly."
When Han Xin heard this, his eyes were a little complicated.
Xiang Ji is a remnant of the Xiang family, but he stayed under Han Xin for more than a year. As a fierce general, he enabled many of Han Xin's tactics to be realized, and he also made great achievements in killing King Luo.
Han Xin's promotion was inseparable from Xiang Ji's contribution
If possible, he hoped to make Xiang Ji serve Da Qin and the general.
"such a pity."
Amid the sighs of the generals, Liu Bang, who reported Xiang Ji, also had a complicated expression.
He is not a heartless person. If it were not a threat to his life, Liu Bang would not want to do such a thing.
"Xiang Ji, Xiang Ji, if you want to assassinate the general, you can do it yourself. Why do you want to drag me in? If you want to kill me, Liu Bang, then you have to die first. You can't blame me.
"
Liu Bang muttered in his heart.
He saw Zhao Tuo, who was on the throne, turning his attention to him, and hurriedly stepped forward to prostrate himself, shouting: "General, I have long suspected that there is something wrong with this Xiang Ji, but I have never been able to figure out his identity and purpose.
So I don’t dare to say anything. My commander, Peng Yue, also knows that I am doubting him and can testify for me.”
Zhao Tuo was slightly startled when he heard Peng Yue's name.
What's going on? An emperor and two princes and kings are rushing to deliver it to his door?
When he saw Liu Bang, who was swearing and swearing and busy showing his loyalty, Zhao Tuo felt a little funny again.
Compared with Xiang Ji, a smelly and hard rock, Liu Bang is really very knowledgeable about current affairs.
Xiang Ji is dead, what should we do with Liu Bang?
He looked at the other person carefully.
Liu Bang had a high nose, a long neck, and a short beard under his chin. Judging from the aesthetics of this era, he looked very talented. If he could have a long beard under his chin, he would be even more handsome.
But seeing Liu Bang's beard, which was obviously just groomed in the morning, Zhao Tuo came to some understanding.
This old boy originally had a beard before he changed his name. Maybe it was because the government included this physical feature when he was wanted. The clever Liu Bang changed his look from then on. When he came to see me today, he specially modified it just in case.
After a while.
Zhao Tuo felt dumbfounded again when he thought of the name Liu Ji had changed to avoid guilt.
What a wonderful change of name.
I don’t know if Liu Bang came up with it himself or if some expert gave it to him. If it weren’t for the familiarity, Zhao Tuo wouldn’t have recognized it at a glance.
If I reveal Liu Ji's identity now, I'm afraid I won't be able to scare him half to death.
Zhao Tuo smiled and shook his head. He could do this, but it was not necessary.
Liu Bang and Xiang Ji are different people.
Xiang Ji was a natural anti-Qin faction because of his hatred of the country and his family and his personality. It was almost impossible for Zhao Tuo to recruit him to surrender.
Liu Bang is different. This person knows the current situation and knows how to advance and retreat. Compared with opposing Qin, he may have more thoughts of surrendering to Qin as an official, otherwise he would not report Xiang Ji.
Moreover, the capable ministers and generals under Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, such as Xiao He, Cao Shen, Fan Kuai, Han Xin, Xia Houying, Li Shiqi, etc., had long been poached by Zhao Tuo. Even if Liu Bang was given another chance, he would have no chance of success.
There was a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, and Zhao Tuo was not worried about Liu Bang's threat.
"After all, he is the founding emperor. Instead of killing him, it is better to put him to good use."
Zhao Tuo decided on what to do with Liu Bang after thinking about it.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Liu Bang knelt on the ground. When he saw the general, he looked at him and shook his head for a while, and then smiled at the corner of his mouth. This gesture scared him to death.
After all, his true identity cannot be seen in the light, so he is afraid that Zhao Tuo will not trust him, follow his origins, and finally find out the details of Liu Ji, and that will be the end.
"General, the subordinates have nothing to do with the Xiang family. When I knew that Xiang Ji wanted to assassinate me, I immediately reported the traitor to the Han army. I am loyal to Da Qin and the general. The sun and the moon can shine.
!”
Liu Bang bowed his head again and showed his loyalty.
This time, he got a response.
"I know your loyalty."
Zhao Tuo said calmly: "There is a saying in Qin law that if you don't accuse a traitor, you will be beheaded. If you accuse an traitor, you will be rewarded with the beheading of the enemy. If you conceal an traitor, you will be punished with the same penalty as surrendering the enemy. This time Xiang Ji assassinated, you can observe his actions and understand his actions.
Conspiracy, report the traitor to the Han army, and capture and kill the thief. This is a great achievement and should be promoted and rewarded."
"And the emperor has issued an edict that those who present the first item of the records will be rewarded with two hundred gold. You go down, and I will let the legal officials discuss your merits later and report them to Xianyang, and you will be rewarded at that time."
Promotion!
Give gold!
Still two hundred gold!
Liu Bang was overjoyed, he was really about to make a comeback now.
Overjoyed, he couldn't help but look down at the dazzling red on the ground, and said to himself: "Brother Yu, thank you."
Because the assassination had just happened, Zhao Tuo did not have time to ask Liu Bang more, so he asked him to go down first.
This person is under his command and can be summoned at any time. Zhao Tuo is not afraid of Liu Bang running away.
His top priority now is to find out if there are any accomplices of Xiang Ji in the army.
The reason why Xiang Ji was defeated this time was because his features were too conspicuous and he was noticed by Cao Shen and Han Xin, and was reported by Liu Bang.
If there are other people in the army who are hiding and looking for opportunities to assassinate, the harm will be great.
At the same time, Zhao Tuo also wanted to report Xiang Ji's incident to Xianyang, asking the emperor to conduct a thorough investigation of the Liu family in Xutai County, Donghai County, and follow the Liu family's vine to eliminate all the remaining members of the Jingtong and Xiang families and clean them up.
This world.
"The corpse of Xiang Xiang, the leader of the owl, frightened the whole army. It was passed on to Guanzhong and presented to the emperor."
During the Pengcheng assassination, the Xiang family was Zhang Liang's accomplice and took the lead in raising the banner of rebellion. The emperor was so angry that he offered rewards to the remaining Xiang family members.
Xiang Ji was an imperial prisoner wanted by the emperor, so naturally his head had to be cut off and sent back to Guanzhong for interrogation.
As for Xiang Ji's headless body, Zhao Tuo ordered it to be buried in the place where he killed King Luo.
In any case, Xiang Ji killed the King of Luo Yue for the Qin Dynasty and made certain contributions to the Qin State's pacification of Baiyue. Zhao Tuo gave him his final dignity.
At the place where Xiang Ji's body was buried.
Many years later, someone else erected a tombstone for him.
