"You! You devil!"
One of the scribes roared wildly and jumped up to rush towards him, but was stopped by a soldier from the Hutou Camp.
"We are not guilty of that serious a crime!"
Some people shouted, and some people shouted directly to Yang Ying: "We are willing to surrender."
He shouted and kowtowed directly to Yang Ying.
"Hmph!" Yang Ying unconsciously sneered: "Li Chengba, a famous general and wise king who is famous all over the world, actually has so many weaklings and cowards among the people he uses.
I can't be too harsh on the King of Qin, after all, it's so easy to find so many warriors who are willing to die. "
But there were still a few people who remained indifferent, with no fear on their faces, led by Wu Shiwen.
Yang Ying immediately ordered that those who cursed him be pulled down and tortured until they surrendered. Those who had surrendered were first pulled aside to entertain him, and then he said to Wu Shiwen: "In that case, Mr. Wu, I intend to accept This torture is worse than death."
"As you wish."
Yang Ying's heart moved: He is not afraid of torture. People like this are respected and can be of great use. Of course, there is no need to question Wu Shiwen's ability.
But persuading and recruiting people like this are the most difficult.
Hundreds of strategies flashed through Yang Ying's mind, and she unconsciously thought of Shi Baoqing: Who could have thought before that the leader of King Qin's four brave generals would surrender to him.
How did Shi Xiao surrender?
Because he lost the bet with Yang Ying, and he is a man of his word!
Trustworthiness is Shi Xiao's strength, but it is also his weakness, so as long as he finds Wu Shiwen's weakness, he can naturally surrender.
But what is Wu Shiwen's weakness... Why didn't he know more about these people before? That way he wouldn't have no clue now.
No, I have a clue!
People who are not afraid of death and people who are not afraid of torture are simply because they have something worth holding on to in their hearts: and these things will not be fame and fortune. After all, if your life is gone, what use are these things!
So what they want to stick to is faith? Or is it friendship? Or is it integrity? Or Ru Shixiao’s credit?
Yang Ying suddenly put Mu Gongshan on Wu Shiwen's neck and said deliberately and tentatively: "It's easy to kill you, but it's a pity. My ability to wipe out thieves in the world and restore peace to the world has weakened a bit, and I still have to bear the grievance of Mr. It is the crime of being cruel, unkind, and ungrateful to help Zhou."
Wu Shiwen said in confusion: "Am I ungrateful? Prince Consort, what do you want to do? You want to slander me."
Yang Ying was overjoyed: Haha, you have been exposed. It turns out that you value love and righteousness. Then I will first destroy your reputation for valuing kindness and righteousness.
"Slander?" Yang Ying said in surprise: "Mr. Wu, this is strange for you. King Qin originally wiped out the world for the emperor and became a good king, but he suddenly killed his brother and regicide, and betrayed Isn’t it the instigation of you counselors that this infamous reputation will last forever?”
"nonsense……"
Wu Shiwen stopped in time: when Li Chengba was going to ambush Li Shengli, he naturally asked these generals and advisers. At that time, he did agree.
As for the reason for this, it is naturally because Wu Shiwen believes that Li Chengba is more suitable to be emperor than Li Shengli, and the two are already in the same situation. Since only one of them can survive, Li Chengba does have his share in making this determination. support.
As for Li Chengba being charged with murdering his brother and regicide, he had thought about it, but he was covered up by the "righteousness of the world".
"How can I talk nonsense!"
Yang Ying asked in response: "You dare to say that you didn't know that the King of Qin was going to commit fratricide like killing his brother? Since you knew, why didn't you stop him desperately and let him bear such a bad reputation?"
"I?"
Wu Shiwen did feel guilty and felt speechless for a moment.
But a person next to him said: "If His Highness the King of Qin does not strike first and kills the Crown Prince Li Shengli, Li Shengli will kill His Highness the King of Qin. We are really forced to do so."
"The prince wants to kill King Qin?"
"How do you know? Even if the prince is jealous of the virtuous, he is already the prince, so why should he be afraid of the King of Qin?
Even if the prince really wants to kill the King of Qin, with the intelligence of all of you and the loyalty and bravery of the King of Qin's subordinates, there is no way he can protect the King of Qin.
Since you know that the prince wants to kill the King of Qin, why don't you report it to the emperor and find out the evidence that the prince wants to murder the King of Qin.
Even if you can't find any evidence, since you are not afraid of death or torture, so what if you are willing to cut yourself off and commit an act that violates the law? So what if you defame the prince? But you didn't. You all watched with helpless eyes as His Highness the King of Qin bore the infamous reputation of killing his brother and regicide but did nothing.
You are not only unwise, but also unjust. Thousands of years from now, future generations will not say that it was because the counselors under the King of Qin did not give up their glory and wealth, and instigated them to kill their brothers and kill the king.
Isn't your unwillingness to act a sign of ingratitude? "
This logical inference was far-fetched, and Yang Ying herself felt guilty as she spoke it, but now she had to bite the bullet and became more and more impassioned as she spoke.
But the defense line in Wu Shiwen's heart seemed to have burst. After an instant collapse, he could no longer stop it.
In fact, he had thought about persuading him before, but most of Li Chengba's generals and other people agreed with Zuo Shunmen's plan, which meant that they did not stop him in the end. As for whether there was anything in this that he could rely on after King Qin succeeded. He naturally knows about other thoughts such as following the dragon, becoming a minister, and enjoying glory and wealth.
"Now that the big mistake has been made, what can I do! Prince Consort, please kill me! I no longer have the face to face the world."
"Mr. Wu."
Others around shouted: "He is talking nonsense!"
"Mr. Wu," Yang Ying said, "Although the big mistake has been made and the sheep are dead, the prison may not be irreparable."
"The prince-in-law asked me to surrender to you, but the prince-in-law should not speak respectfully! Even if I don't do it, I am still a general of the King of Qin. How can I lose my integrity again?"
"No!"
Yang Ying said: "Although Mr. Wu cannot restore King Qin's reputation for killing his brother and regicide, is His Highness King Qin's wish fulfilled for him?"
"Wish?" Wu Shiwen asked curiously: "What unfulfilled wishes does King Qin have?"
"Mr. Wu doesn't want fame and fortune, but he is willing to submit to His Highness the King of Qin. Doesn't he want the world to be peaceful and the people to live in peace?
The King of Qin can do it, and so can I, Yang Ying. "
Wu Shiwen was stunned: Yang Ying's reputation before was indeed very bad, but of course he knew what Yang Ying just said was not something a fool could say.
So maybe Yang Ying can really... The most important point is that Yang Ying has clear rewards and punishments. For the counselors of the King of Qin, he did not kill them without explanation but chose to persuade them to surrender. This is enough to show his broad mind.
"Consort, you?"
Wu Shiwen unconsciously suspected that Yang Ying wanted to rebel.
