"Are you the Moon King, one of the six kings of the Zhou Kingdom?" The Moon King looked at the man in front of him, a tall and mighty middle-aged man, and said disdainfully, "Yes, if you want me to surrender, then I will I advise you not to have such wishful thinking, we six kings are all the subjects of gods, and we will never surrender to heretical evil gods like you!"
Moon King's attitude is very tough.
"He's still a tough guy!" The tall man, Han Xin, nodded and said, "In that case, don't torture him anymore, just take him out and behead him!"
"What?" The Moon King's eyes widened, and then he was lifted up by two soldiers. In panic, he began to struggle wildly, but what tied him was a demon rope, and he couldn't break free at all.
"I am the Moon King, with a distinguished status, and you actually want to kill me!" the Moon King said in horror.
"It's true that you are noble, but we are fighting to the death with the Kingdom of Zhou. In our eyes, a noble like you is no different from a pariah. Why can't we kill him?" Han Xin said expressionlessly.
"I am a noble, how can I be like a pariah!" The Moon King continued to yell, but Han Xin no longer had the interest to continue chatting with him. With a wave of his hands, two soldiers had already pulled him outside the camp. At the same time, a soldier directly raised his machete, and another soldier held down the Moon King's head. Only then did the Moon King realize that he seemed to be really going to die.
One of the majestic Six Kings, he only lived for more than 20 years, and he was already going to die before he could enjoy life.
"You can't kill me. Killing prisoners is unlucky. Killing prisoners is unlucky! Killing prisoners is unkind. You liars...!"
"Wait!" Han Xin suddenly waved his hand. The executioner had already withdrawn the steel knife that was about to hit the opponent's neck, and the Moon King, who was like a puddle of mud, was thrown back in front of Han Xin.
"How can you, a Zhouguo person, know that it is unlucky to kill a prisoner?" Most people wouldn't think anything of it when they hear the words "it is unlucky to kill a prisoner" before death.
However, Han Xin was keenly aware of the problem. The saying "killing prisoners is ominous" is familiar to Chinese people, but it is very rare in Zhou Dynasty.
So Han Xin caught him back and asked with a frown, but the Moon King was obviously frightened, lying on the ground and crying, "You are all liars... What do you write in the book?" Prisoners, it is ominous to kill prisoners, and it is also written that those generals who refused to surrender were valued and released directly on the spot. You liars, your books are all lies, wuwuwuwu!!" The Moon King cried so sadly. .
"Have you read our books? How could you read our books? We have never published any classics in this world!" Han Xin asked strangely.
"Nonsense, isn't that "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" your book?" Moon King said through gritted teeth.
""The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"!" Han Xin then realized that his romantic partner only knew the ominous allusions about killing prisoners in the book after reading the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. As for releasing the prisoners on the spot, he probably read the part about Zhang Feiyi's explanation of Yan Yan. .
Hearing that the Moon King was still muttering that the book was a lie, Han Xin couldn't help but laugh and said, "Even that kid Lu Bu was killed by Cao Cao. Why do you think we will be reluctant to kill you?"
"..." The Moon King was speechless. It seemed that he had actually watched Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
As for why the Yue King was able to see the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it is also easy to understand. After all, almost everyone in the five occupied provinces was forced to read Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and the printing volume of this book was even more astonishing.
So it is normal for a few copies to occasionally reach the other side and then appear on the desks of those in power.
"Has "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" been passed on to you? When was it passed?" Han Xin asked curiously. The Moon King hesitated, and Han Xin immediately said, "Don't worry, this is not a military secret. Just answer this question." It’s not a leak.”
"Yes!" Moon King nodded and said, "I don't know the specific time. Anyway, I saw it in the capital a year ago. But I didn't watch it secretly. It was the emperor who asked each of us six kings to do it." Read this book, learn the skills of using soldiers in it, and then test us."
"I studied the most seriously and had the highest test scores among the six brothers, so the emperor asked me to lead the coalition forces of the seven provinces. Alas, I had already set up a shocking plan. If you didn't have martial ethics, you would have attacked us. Shuicheng, then I am now sitting on the top of Ding City, watching you heretics wailing," the Moon King said depressedly.
In his imagination, he should have been sitting on it, interrogating these heretical captives. Who would have thought that he would actually be down now? This is too difficult.
"Your emperor actually lets you read our books, he has a big heart!" Han Xin said with a smile.
"Hmph, how can you understand the wisdom of my third brother? He is actually the best among our brothers, and he was also the first to propose the training of the army. If it weren't for those untouchables who are too incompetent to follow the instructions, My plan is to travel through the jungle in 7 days, and I will be the winner!" The Moon King was still worried.
"Third brother? Isn't your emperor the eldest son?" Han Xin asked curiously.
"The eldest son succeeds to the throne? That is why you have such a weird setting in your book. Of course, the position of emperor can only be succeeded by the person with the closest bloodline to the ancestor god and the most divine power. My third brother is not only the one with the closest bloodline among our brothers. , is also the one whose bloodline is closest to the ancestral god after three generations. If he were not restricted by his position as emperor and could only stay in the capital, he would have come out and killed you all. How could he let you be proud here?" The Moon King disdains said.
"Oh! This is the same as here. The emperor cannot leave Beijing at will. In this regard, the cultural traditions of our two sides are still the same!" Han Xin said with a smile.
"What's the same? The world of our Zhou Dynasty is as stable as Mount Tai. How can it be like that you need the emperor to stay in the capital to stabilize the world? And my eldest brother said that your emperor is actually not the real emperor, but a prisoner of heaven, a prisoner of this world. prisoner."
"It's not that he couldn't get out for the sake of the stability of the world, but he was trapped in the capital by the ministers and couldn't get out. Otherwise, who could stay in one place for decades? This would be too pitiful!" The Moon King snorted coldly. said one voice.
"So your emperor will not be trapped by ministers?"
"We don't have any ministers at all, how could we be trapped by ministers!" The Moon King grinned and said, "The twelve princes govern 12 provinces, and we only need to manage them for one week. Where are the ministers needed? The reason why our emperor was We are trapped in the capital and cannot leave, that’s because we need to convey and maintain the divine power of the ancestors.”
"Once there is no emperor in the capital, the bond between divine power and the human world will be broken, and all divine power will disappear. Therefore, it is impossible for my elder brother to leave the capital."
"That's it!" Han Xin nodded. At this time, a guard brought the wine and food very naturally. The Moon King had been captured for so long and was very hungry. He just grabbed it and ate it. While eating, he chatted with Han Xin. The atmosphere was great. very happy.
By the time the Moon King reacted, he had almost exposed the entire Zhou Capital.
