A combination of punches by Li Shui and Li Xin completely convinced the Huns.
Even Mao Dun remained silent, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, letting Qin Bing push him and move towards the palace.
When walking down the steps, Mao Dun saw the body of the Hun guard. He had been beaten to death in a miserable state.
Mao Dun sighed. He only brought nineteen guards, and now there are only sixteen left. Each of these guards had experienced hundreds of battles, but now they died of such frustration.
Forget it, forget it, bear the humiliation today, and when you gain power in the future, you must pay for it with the blood of the Qin people.
It seems that Li Xin deliberately did not prepare a car and let the group of Huns enter the palace on foot. Many people watched along the way, and everyone was very excited.
The powerful people from Guandong were also onlookers. Many people whispered: "Qin is a country of tigers and wolves. This statement is indeed true. Killing people in the street, tsk tsk tsk, is really barbaric."
Jing Fu was thinking quietly: How could such an act last long? Unfortunately, my identity has been revealed. Even if I want to help Xiang Liang win the world and become a high official, it is impossible. well……
…………
After entering the palace, the Huns were put on ropes. Anyway, there were no people around to watch, and he was not afraid of the death of other tribes, so Chunyu Yue had no objection.
These people were sent directly to the door of Ying Zheng's study. Ying Zheng, on the other hand, stood on the steps, looking down at Mao Dun and others.
After meeting the emperor, Maodun and his party breathed a sigh of relief. In front of the emperor, this Li Xin should not kill again, right?
Ying Zheng looked at Li Shui and asked, pretending not to know, "Why is this?"
Li Shui cupped his hands and said, "Modun is plotting rebellion."
Maodun was stunned: "Rebellion? I just fought in the street, how can I be considered a rebel? Besides, I am not from Qin, so how can I talk about rebellion?"
Even Chunyu Yue, who was next to him, couldn't stand it any longer. He coughed and said, "Exiled immortals, they are foreigners. They came to our country, Da Qin, for help, not to surrender. The word "rebellion" is somewhat fallacious."
Li Shui snorted and said, "It's not rebellion, it's a capital crime anyway."
Chunyu Yue was a little tired and thought: Why do you have to kill Mao Dun? Didn’t I make it clear enough? Maodun is more valuable alive than dead.
However, Ying Zheng was calm and asked Li Shui calmly: "Why are they punished by death?"
Li Shui cupped his hands and said, "Because they are war criminals."
Everyone was slightly startled, thinking that this word was quite new.
Li Shui said: "Modun is the eldest son of Shanyu. Over the years, the Huns have invaded our borders and killed our innocent people. Dare you say that Modun was not involved? His hands are stained with the blood of the people."
"Today he has come to join us, Great Qin. Should we just write off our hatred? What will happen to the dead soldiers? What to do to the dead people? If we do this, the murderer will not regret it, and the murdered person will not rest in peace. In a daze, No one will be satisfied.”
"Therefore, I suggest that your Majesty set up war crimes imitating the fairy world. Once the enemy chief is captured, a trial will be held and the punishment will be given."
"The two armies fought, and there were casualties on each other. Let's leave this aside for now. But whether he has robbed civilians, insulted women, or burned down people's houses. He must be interrogated one by one. Then he will be convicted according to his crime. Either he will be punished with hard labor, or he will be directly punished. Behead, plain and simple. Others will have no objection."
After hearing this, Ying Zheng felt a sudden enlightenment and couldn't help but praise: "It turns out that the world of immortality is also governed by Legalism."
Li Shui cupped his hands and said, "That's right. It is better to govern a country according to law than to govern a country by people, and it is better to govern a country according to etiquette."
Mao Dun next to him was a little confused, thinking: It is not a crime for the two armies to fight. Killing civilians and robbing property is considered a crime? Are you kidding me? I, the Huns, are fighting against you, aren’t we just trying to kill civilians and steal property? Otherwise, I will fight with you when I am full?
Modun felt that this was a deliberate accusation against himself. Then find an excuse to kill yourself.
Chunyu Yue said from the side: "Your Majesty, Huaiguzi's words sound reasonable, but they are of no benefit to our country, the Qin Dynasty."
Li Shui chuckled: "I know what you are going to say. Keep this person to deal with Sha Tilie. If the two tigers fight, they can confuse the Xiongnu and save our Great Qin countless troops, right?"
Li Shui kicked Maodun: "I guess you think so too, right?"
"This strategy sounds reasonable, but if you think about it carefully, it will cause endless harm. When their troops and horses were strong, they burned, killed and looted our Qin Dynasty. When they declined, they surrendered to our Central Plains. After they slowed down, they surrendered and then recovered. Betrayal. How could such a good thing happen in the world? Isn’t the life of my great Qin worthless?"
"If your Majesty immediately enacts the law of war, these Huns will inevitably have worries in their hearts when they go to war. Even if some people are bold and lawless, some people still have doubts. As long as they kill me. The people must give up any thoughts of surrender."
"Therefore, this law can save countless civilians. I believe that this law is more effective than Dr. Chunyu's humiliation, humiliation, and settlement of past grievances."
Chunyu Yue thought for a while and had to nod.
But he was still unwilling to accept it. He smiled bitterly and said, "Is this how to kill Maodun Jiqi?"
Li Shui said with a smile: "Whether to kill or not will only be known after interrogation."
Ying Zheng said to Zhao Teng next to him: "You are the internal envoy. The Huns committed crimes in Xianyang City, which are under your jurisdiction. Come and interrogate them to see if they have killed any of our Daqin civilians or robbed them." Property woman.”
Zhao Teng thought to himself: "Does this still require interrogation? There must be."
But he still agreed. He ordered the Huns to be taken away. The interrogation process was rough and nothing more than torture.
Ji Ming was not far away. When he saw the Huns being beaten, their bodies were very tense. He couldn't help but shook his head and thought: "It will only hurt more if you are so tight. It's not easy to go back and recover from the injuries. They are really a bunch of idiots." .”
Ying Zheng smiled and asked Li Shui: "Huai Guzi, do you want me to kill Mao Dun?"
Li Shui shook his head and said, "To convict him of death first, and then find an excuse to pardon him, doesn't this show His Majesty's mercy?"
Ying Zheng smiled. Chunyu Yue had to sigh and thought: Huaiguzi is really full of tricks.
After a quarter of an hour, all the Huns were attacked. On a certain day of a certain year and month, they had killed people and robbed things.
There is a time and a place, speak clearly.
In fact, the Huns may not remember these, but Zhao Teng insisted on telling them, so they could only make up some random things, just to avoid the physical pain.
The evidence was conclusive, and these Huns were all sentenced to death. Ying Zheng waved his hand and escorted them away, leaving only Mao Dun.
Ying Zheng said to Mao Dun: "Just now Chunyu Yue begged for mercy on your behalf. I intend to spare your life."
Mao Dun looked at Chunyu Yue with great gratitude.
Ying Zheng added: "When you committed the crime, I had not promulgated the law of war, so you are excusable. Moreover, Chun Yuyue's words also have some truth. Keeping you will be useful to me."
Maodun was obedient.
Ying Zheng said kindly: "Don't be so formal. Tell me, you are in the Xiongnu, but you have no foundation at all?"
Mao Dun said: "Twenty percent of the Xiongnu tribe is leaning towards me. If I go back, I should be able to gather these people. But once I appear in the Xiongnu, I will attract the pursuit of my father and Shatilie. I'm afraid I haven't recruited them yet. By the time he reaches the soldiers and horses, his body and head are already missing."
Ying Zheng said: "It doesn't matter, I will lend you troops."
Mo Dun was trembling with excitement and thanked him repeatedly. In Xianyang City, I went through so many twists and turns, but the goal was finally achieved.
But then, Ying Zheng suddenly said: "I'll lend you my troops to attack Shatilie for you. I, the sons and daughters of the Central Plains, suffered countless casualties, but I helped you ascend to Shanyu Dawei. Aren't you at a bit of a loss?"
Mao Dun was stunned for a moment, and then said sincerely: "If the little king can ascend to the position of Shanyu, he will definitely serve His Majesty as he serves his parents."
Ying Zheng chuckled: "Serve your parents? I heard that the Huns have no king or father. There are many cases where a son kills his father to gain the position of Shan Yu."
Mao Dun said: "I am willing to swear."
Ying Zheng shook his head: "The oath cannot be trusted. Let's do this. I can send troops to help you attack the tribes that support Sha Tilie. But after these tribes attack, the cattle, sheep, wealth, and silk will belong to our Great Qin. What do you think? . This is not a robbery of property, this is what you gave me as a gift."
When Li Xin heard this, he was shocked and thought: "Your Majesty has such a good strategy. The most difficult thing about attacking the Xiongnu is that the grassland is vast and sparsely populated, and the tribes have no fixed settlements. They often go hundreds of miles deep and achieve nothing. In the end, We ran out of food and fodder and had to retreat.”
"Now we are cooperating with Maodun and having him lead the way to attack the Xiongnu tribe. It will be much easier. Even because these tribes are far apart, we can defeat them one by one. By the time we have eliminated the tribes of Shatilie and Shanyu, the Huns have already been ten. Let’s get rid of eight of them. What’s the point of saving two people in Maodun?”
"You can even turn the spearhead and eliminate Maodun in one fell swoop. In that case, wouldn't the Xiongnu's troubles be put down forever?"
Thinking of this, Li Xin couldn't help but feel excited.
How could Modu not see this? But he still agreed.
There are two reasons. First, you cannot destroy your own stupid persona. If you can see through the emperor's mind, is that still stupid?
The second reason is that if he doesn't agree, he will have no choice but to be a Huns in Xianyang City that everyone shouts to beat. If you agree, there are still a lot of variables. With his own abilities, he will definitely be able to strengthen himself in the process of destroying Shatilie.
When he is strong enough, it would not be a bad idea to destroy the Qin people first and then Sha Tilie.
So he looked happy and agreed.
Seeing his agreement, Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction, and then said with a smile: "Now the public resentment is boiling outside. Although I have cooperated with you, I have to give an explanation to the people in the end, otherwise it will not be justified. Therefore, I will give you a small punishment. Fan."
Mao Dun agreed with understanding. I thought: People from the Central Plains just love face, haha...
Ying Zheng glanced at Li Shui and said, "Go and prepare."
Li Shui agreed, then put his arms around Mao Dun and said, "Let's go, before I punish you, I'll treat you to a drink of immortal wine. Once you're drunk, it won't hurt so much. Alas, Shatilie didn't have this at the time. The treatment is great. Brother Maodun, you are in luck."
