"Go away! Seeking death!"
"ah--"
Noon.
Hundreds of huge deep pits have been dug from Qinghu Bay to Baishatan Plain.
The 80,000 old soldiers of the Western Qin Dynasty, with neat armor and sharp spears, had cold expressions on their faces. They escorted the soldiers of the Thirteen Kingdoms who had their hands bound and their armor removed to each deep pit. If anyone delayed or delayed, they would be killed directly.
The already decadent six to seven hundred thousand soldiers became even more dull and confused, and were driven forward slowly.
When they reached the first pit, thousands of people were kicked down and then sat numbly at the bottom of the pit, with no light left in their eyes.
Then they were faced with piles of mud showering their heads. Finally, some people began to struggle and scream, but they were stabbed randomly by the spears of the Western Qin soldiers, dripping with blood and making no sound.
Until everyone was covered with mud, dozens of war horses dragged thousands of pounds of stone rollers and repeatedly crushed and compacted them, leaving no chance of survival.
Then, the remaining hundreds of thousands of prisoners were divided into hundreds of piles and driven toward one deep pit after another.
In the distance, 387,000 surrendered soldiers from the Western Regions were gathered, sitting cross-legged for more than ten miles, being tightly guarded by 20,000 Western Qin troops, making everyone watch silently and not blink.
There were also Confucian disciples who defected to the Western Qin Dynasty, excitedly walking back and forth, shouting loudly: "Listen carefully, everyone, those who were tricked and killed are heinous people. You are different from them. The king has carefully investigated your situation." The bottom line is that they are all people from innocent family backgrounds who have been bullied!
Not only will the prince not kill you, but he will also reuse and protect you. From now on, you will be the best soldiers of the Western Qin Dynasty, and you will all be the prince’s beloved generals!
The princes and nobles who were killed today must have understood how they bullied you in the past. Today, you are witnessing and killing them together. You are all good men of the Western Qin..."
Various brainwashing slogans are repeatedly sung.
A strange light of hope slowly appeared in the eyes of many soldiers.
Occasionally, if someone shows hatred, a Confucian scholar will immediately point it out angrily: "This guy is a spy of those people, a fish that slipped through the net!"
Soon a warrior from the Western Qin Dynasty stepped forward and killed this man with a single blow.
The killing is still going on, and the killings are endless!
Intangible resentment soared into the sky.
The sky is hazy, just like the bloodshed in the Western Region, just like the killings that shocked the whole world today!
In the tent on the high platform in the distance, Xin Zhuo was sitting cross-legged in his commanding position, still playing with his small sword. He occasionally looked out of the tent with a complicated look on his face and moved his hands a little faster.
On the side, Murong Xiu, Cui Ying'er and the others, as well as Xiong Zhang and Sai Qingzhu, who had rushed back after helping Bai Xuanji pacify Qiulingzhou, sat cross-legged in silence, sometimes looking at Xin Zhuo, sometimes lost in thought.
In fact, they also felt that killing hundreds of thousands of people was too cruel and terrifying, but they supported it. The county king must have had his own plans and thoughts in doing so.
Murong Xiu and Huang Dagui, in particular, looked a little dazed. They still remembered being attacked by other bandits in Fulong Mountain, intimidated by police officers, and being chased around by masters from the four major families. At that time, they never thought they could wave. Kill hundreds of thousands of people in a trap?
The fate of life is so difficult to fathom!
Cui Ying'er thought for a while and asked in a low voice: "Will the boss pass?"
Xin Zhuo smiled and said nothing.
"Jiang Yuqing!"
Third uncle Jiang Hu suddenly broke into the camp and stared at him coldly, with the aura of a veteran in the battlefield.
"Third Master!"
Murong Xiu, Cui Ying'er and Xiong Zhang stood up and saluted, showing the third master of the Jiang family the most basic respect.
Jiang Hu turned a deaf ear and continued to look at his nephew, his face changing constantly. To be honest, he was a little confused by his nephew's various operations. He started from distrusting the expectations of the martial arts masters behind him, and then worried about the unknown situation of the battle. , finally rejoiced at the great victory, and now frightened by the cruelty of his nephew’s methods: “Why?”
"I'm afraid of death!"
Xin Zhuo sighed, "You have to believe that I must have my reasons for doing this. I am not a cruel person, but I have to do this. The land of Western Qin cannot support an army of 500,000. I want the territory of the Thirteen Kingdoms. Naturally, the territory cannot keep these prisoners!”
"What's wrong with recruiting new troops from the three states and eighteen prefectures? Isn't it okay to restore the original 300,000 troops in Western Qin? Even if you are afraid of the court, you can still try it slowly! You will rebel on the first day you come, now Focus on raising 500,000 soldiers! What are you going to do? Are you really going to rebel against the emperor?"
Jiang Hu looked gloomy, "The Jiang family has been known for its kindness and benevolence in the land of Western Qin for hundreds of years. This is the reason why my Jiang family has taken root in the land of Western Qin and suppressed all countries in the four directions. Now that you are killing like this and your reputation has spread, who can Will people believe Jiang? How does the world view you? Are you not afraid of the alienation of Western Qin? Will you be defeated without defeat? "
"I can tell you responsibly, don't be afraid!"
Xin Zhuo has been thinking about the land of Western Qin for a long time. This place will never be loyal to you because of your benevolence or unkindness, but whether you are fair or unfair and whether you can let them live and work in peace and contentment.
And from a personal point of view, conquering a territory, finding a sense of security, and resisting the imperial court are only one of them. The most important thing is to conquer the Thirteen Kingdoms, complete the Wangyuejing sacrifice, and improve one's realm.
He has come step by step from a little bandit to what he is now. To be honest, he is a little helpless. This is what happens in life. The situation is stronger than the person. If he has the choice, he is still willing to be without danger and carefree. Little bandit, find a woman to get married and spend the rest of your life, that's fine!
But no! He seemed to be pushed forward step by step by Mochizuki Well or his own destiny.
Wherever you go in the future, do it and cherish it!
In short, I want to live! Don't let anyone push you in front of me!
"Absurd! Arrogant! You have countless ways to go, but you chose this one!"
Jiang Hu was furious, "Have you really never considered your reputation? Jiang Yuqing killed 650,000 unarmed soldiers from the Western Regions? Have you thought about the consequences?"
"Third uncle, I am still willing to listen to you. I have given you enough face. I am not afraid to tell you frankly. Anyone is qualified to question me, but not you Jiang Hu!"
Xin Zhuo looked at him indifferently, "What the hell has happened to the Jiang family? When I came to the Jiang family to recognize my relatives, I was planning to win. However, I was squeezed out everywhere and the entire Jiang family was on the verge of collapse. The emperor's child was playing all kinds of tricks. The trick is to crush you to dust first, then give you a candy, and finally boil the frog in warm water to completely defeat the Western Qin army! The whole world will praise him as a wise king!
His self-righteous behavior is actually very annoying.
I don’t know what you natives think. Anyway, I can’t do it. I have to find a way to struggle. Maybe something else will happen and I’ll be chopped down with a knife. I admit it!
But if I am just like you, talking about being upright and famous, it is impossible.
Times have changed. Uncle San, the glory and reputation of the Jiang family are gone! All gone! The emperor wants you to die, what can you do?
You have been haunted by evil spirits for more than ten years and watched helplessly as the Western Qin army was defeated. You had no choice but to find a few damn sect elders to get some kind of Dahuan Dan to keep you healthy. Is it useful? How ridiculous is this?
Third Uncle, have you really never thought about how to change? You are not old, but your heart is old! "
Jiang Hu's face turned pale, and he took two steps back in despair, looking at his nephew in disbelief. He wanted to speak, but didn't know where to start. After a long time, he smiled bitterly: "I thought you were similar to your father at first, but then I thought you were more similar. Your father is strong, but now I realize that you are not the same kind of people at all!"
"I am who I am, why should I be similar to anyone else?"
Xin Zhuo stretched out and smiled, "I have a lot of things to do. To be honest with my third uncle, destroying the Thirteen Kingdoms is only the second priority, so I won't give it away! If you want to figure it out some other time, come to me and we can cooperate."
Jiang Hu closed his eyes, took a deep breath, turned and left. He was sonorous and powerful when he came, but felt helpless when he returned. He felt that one day West Qin would no longer be West Qin, and the Jiang family was afraid that it would no longer be the Jiang family!
The Jiang family, which has been loyal for three hundred years, will eventually become a traitor and a cholera party because of this Jiang Yuqing.
…
An hour after Jiang Hu left, Jiang Man'er, who was born with yellow hair and a body full of sinews, hurriedly entered the commander's tent and saluted calmly: "Governor Bing, the 650,000 surrendered soldiers have been trapped and killed, and they have been tamped with stone mills and lime. Seal the land!”
"very good!"
Xin Zhuo looked at the moon-watching well. The spirit-sacrifice state had not changed. He was playing with the tiger talisman and said, "Instruct Jiang Yuxi and Jiang Shisan to take over the defense of Bai Xuanji's three states and eighteen prefectures, and to order Yan Kuizong to conquer General Hu. You and Bai Xuanji , Yan Kuizong and three others, leading 30,000 of the most elite old soldiers of the Western Qin Dynasty, will set out tomorrow, with three days of rations to support the war, and attack Gouhe, Baima, Columbine, Shiwei, Yinai, Jingjue, and Dayue. , Wuri and ten other small countries!
I will send a message to the old Confucian scholars in Taixun Gong, and they will try their best to cooperate with you! Remember! All the living forces of the ten kingdoms will be strangled, and no nobles above the wheel will be left alive. If you can destroy the country, you will destroy it directly. If you can't destroy it, you will kill and capture the country in one wave and leave! "
"It's your order!" Jiang Man'er turned around and left with excitement on her face.
Xin Zhuo looked at Murong Xiu's group again and smiled: "We at Fulong Mountain are going to do our part. Murong, Dagui, Lao Bai and Jiulang, you choose two hundred smart and capable people from the Tie Fu Guard, and I just came from The capital has transferred three hundred Jianghu secret agents and shadow guards to you, to spy on the Shence Army in the south and the Dianqian Army in the north. If there is any movement, please notify me immediately!"
"Look at the boss! No one understands them better than me!" Bai Jianxi rubbed his hands in excitement.
"What a yo-yo, that's right!"
Huang Dagui also smiled and said: "We are very good at gathering information!"
