According to the Jiujiang County Sheriff's description, the thieves in Sankun Mountain were extremely powerful. Not only did they have the power to call upon the wind and rain, but they also inherited Chi You's abilities. They had bronze heads, iron arms, and were invulnerable.
The Qin army in Shouchun City was not afraid of death. They charged and killed them several times. How could they fight against the gods and ghosts with no help from mortals?
The Qin army was defeated many times, but it remained unyielding despite repeated defeats.
Seeing that there are fewer and fewer defenders in the city, the remaining ones are the old, weak, sick and disabled, while the thieves' power is getting stronger and stronger, and has grown to 3,000 people.
However, the people of Jiujiang, headed by the county governor, will never surrender. Even if they fight to the last man, they will rather die than surrender to protect the glory of Qin.
This memorial was written with tears in his eyes, describing the Qin army in Shouchun City as extremely tragic.
The young eunuch who read the memorial shed tears involuntarily.
He paused, wiped his tears, and then continued with the annual memorial.
The memorial said that just when the Qin army in the city was struggling to hold on and was about to be unable to hold on, Prince Fu Yao arrived.
The young master led three thousand men and horses, like tigers down the mountain, and immediately drove away the thieves.
It turns out that Master Fu Yao's men and horses carry the power of banishing immortals.
The banished immortal has such great magical power that even Chi You has to stay away.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the Sankun Mountain thieves simply took advantage of the danger and retreated to Sankun Mountain.
And Master Fu Yao made a strange plan, selected a hundred warriors, and climbed from the cliff to Sankun Mountain at night.
The sun was dark, the moon was high, and the wind was howling.
Master Fu Yao's hundred men and horses were like heavenly soldiers and generals descending from the sky. Like a golden-armored war god. Like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, like a strong man rushing into a nursery.
After a series of thrilling parallel sentences, the county guard described the battle situation.
On that day, these one hundred men and horses slashed left and right, killing people everywhere.
The three thousand thieves on Sankun Mountain all cried for father and mother and fled in all directions. They only regretted that their parents had lost two legs.
Some of these thieves fell off the cliff and turned into flesh.
Some people fall into mountain streams and are buried under the water.
There are those who trample on each other and suffer from abdominal distension and intestinal reflux.
There are also those who are caught by the prince and beheaded in public.
Originally, some thieves were caught, and the young master wanted to send them to Xianyang City for you all to watch.
But suddenly I remembered that these thieves had sorcery on them. It would be bad if they used sorcery to escape on the way.
What's more, these evil creatures carry evil spirits with them. After entering Xianyang City and soiling this clean land, they deserve to die.
So, under the auspices of Master Fu Yao, all these people were beheaded.
It is said that on the day of the beheading, the sky suddenly darkened, and a dark cloud came down, covering the sky and the sun, as if it suddenly turned into night.
And among the dark clouds, there were faint sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling.
At that time, everyone was uneasy, but Master Fu Yao shouted loudly, drew out the sword from his waist, and pointed it at the sky.
Young Master Fu Yao shouted loudly: "I am the son of the Emperor of Qin. How dare you, the monsters and ghosts, to be so presumptuous?"
The voice of the young master is the righteousness of heaven and earth, it is powerful, awe-inspiring and inviolable.
The officials of Jiujiang County, big and small, felt energized when they heard it, and the trace of fear deep in their hearts suddenly disappeared.
Suddenly, in the dark clouds, there was only a click, like a bolt from the blue.
Then a strong wind blew up, blowing away the dark clouds.
The scorching sun reappeared between heaven and earth, shining on the execution ground.
And Prince Fu Yao, with his golden helmet and sword in hand, shines brightly in the sun, like a god descending to earth.
After seeing it, everyone present admired: He is indeed the Young Master of Da Qin. How can such divine power be possessed by mortals?
Then, the sword and axe-hand cut off the thief's head.
The three hundred captured thieves suddenly lost their heads and no longer dared to cause trouble.
The young master has made great achievements but does not seek credit. He even couldn't bear the ugly defeat of Mr. Fu Su, so he deliberately tried to be modest and said that he had only killed three hundred people.
However, everyone in Jiujiang County could not bear the misunderstanding of the young master, so they risked their lives and suffered this memorial.
After the young eunuch read the memorial, everyone present was dumbfounded.
Many courtiers said: "This... is this true?"
"Why does this sound like a story told by a storyteller?"
"They are gods and ghosts. Are there so many things going on in Chu Land?"
"It's not like the Jiujiang County Sheriff is colluding with the young master, right?"
However, some insiders said: "It's impossible. It is said that the Jiujiang County Lieutenant, named Li Dao, has always been close to Meng Tian."
As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly realized.
Li Dao, most people have only heard of it. But everyone knows his brother Li Jian very well.
That's Meng Tian's confidant general.
In this way, when Mr. Fu Yao arrived in Jiujiang County, it is good that Li Dao did not secretly cause harm to him. Want to deliberately flatter and exaggerate his achievements? That is absolutely impossible.
It's just... Is there really a war between gods and demons in Jiujiang County? Isn't this too evil?
Li Shui was also a little confused. I knew there were some miraculous legends in ancient times, but... I actually encountered them?
He didn't know whether Chi You had any supernatural powers.
But Li Shui knew very well whether the banished immortal had supernatural powers.
Isn't this nonsense?
However, Li Shui was shocked in his heart, but Li Shui would not show it on his face.
He said quietly: "It seems that Mr. Fu Yao is really a benevolent person. When dealing with extremely vicious thieves, he has the courage to eliminate them all and restore peace to the people. When dealing with his brother, he can take care of his feelings and prevent him from losing face. .”
"This is a man of great benevolence. As for Mr. Fusu, the so-called benevolence is invincible, but he just let the bandits run away. After the bandits left Mei County, they must have gone to other places to do evil and harm other innocent people. Such benevolence , seems a little smaller.”
The surrounding courtiers nodded, suddenly feeling that what Li Shui said made sense.
Those Confucian scholars were very depressed and thought: Sure enough, we cannot let the banished immortal speak. The mouth of Exiled Immortal can really make a dead person live.
Chunyu Yue sighed and said, "You are so powerful and so powerful."
Li Shui said with a smile: "If you don't speak, don't you allow others to speak? Maybe Dr. Chunyu thinks that the Jiujiang County Governor is lying?"
Chunyu Yue said nothing.
In this era, people still have some superstitious views. I like to believe in mountain spirits and ghosts.
Otherwise, Qin Shihuang would not have sent people to search for the fairy mountain all day long.
Otherwise, Chen Sheng later would not have gathered a group of people just because he said "Great Chu is rising, King Chen Sheng".
Li Xin said at the right time: "From this point of view, Mr. Fu Yao has the greater credit. First of all, the number of thieves was destroyed more. Secondly, the thieves were destroyed more thoroughly to prevent those thieves from causing trouble again." Nine Pies Chinese
As soon as these words came out, Meng Tian's people were a little unhappy.
Someone said: "Does Young Master Fu Yao have a great contribution? I think Young Master Fu Su's contribution is not small. It is true that those thieves are not dead, but after they escaped, they must have changed their minds."
"God has the virtue of good things. The reformed thieves have become law-abiding citizens. Isn't this a good thing? We think that the way Mr. Fu Yao was dealt with was a bit too bloody."
The courtiers all thought this scene was strange.
Several generals who killed people like crazy actually talked about benevolence and righteousness in the court, and kept saying that killing people was too bloody.
When you march and fight, don't you need to kill people?
But...the court officials just thought so, and no one said anything.
After all, if you are so good, why would you offend Meng Tian? Why offend Mr. Fusu? Isn’t this what you feel after eating enough?
Only Zhou Qingchen and a few people asked quietly, asking the generals: "So, when the generals were really guarding the border, they never killed anyone?"
These generals were stunned for a moment, and then argued: "Of course we kill people. But our killing is completely different from Master Fu Yao's killing."
"We are military generals, and it is our duty to kill people. But Mr. Fu Yao is a prince, he can kill people, or he can not..."
Zhou Qingchen said quietly: "However, the order received by Young Master Fu Yao was to exterminate the thieves in Sankun Mountain. This was the emperor's order. In other words, Young Master Fu Yao was also a military general at that time. Is there any problem with him killing people? ?”
These generals were speechless.
Just now they were just trying to quibble, but now they are speechless when being asked, which is considered normal.
Just then, a little eunuch ran in panting.
He knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty. Mr. Fu Yao's people are back."
Ying Zheng was stunned: "You're back so soon? I just saw the good news."
However, Ying Zheng looked at the postman delivering the good news and immediately felt relieved.
This postman was really unlucky and was delayed for too long.
Ying Zheng asked the young eunuch: "Is Fu Yao back?"
The young eunuch said: "Master Fu Yao has not come back. What came back were ten soldiers and the 300 heads he brought back."
The courtiers suddenly realized.
This is consistent with what was said in the memorial of Jiujiang County Sheriff.
Didn’t the Jiujiang County Sheriff say that in the memorial?
Prince Fu Yao killed three thousand of his enemies, but only a few hundred intact corpses were found.
So he selected some decent-looking ones, cut off their heads, and sent them to Xianyang City. And he showed it to the public along the road to frighten Xiaoxiao.
Meng Tian said quietly: "I don't know if there are only these three hundred people."
After hearing this, the courtiers were all stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "It makes sense, it makes sense."
What if the memorial from the Jiujiang County Sheriff is fake?
What if there are only 300 thieves on Sankun Mountain?
So Fu Yao only brought back three hundred heads.
If you think about it this way, Fu Yao's contribution will be much smaller.
So, Ying Zheng ordered the soldiers to bring up the soldiers who were escorting the heads.
The pawn entered the hall with some restraint and saluted Ying Zheng and all the adults.
Ying Zheng asked pleasantly: "Did you all follow Fu Yao and participate in the fight against the thieves?"
The pawn was stunned for a moment, and said honestly: "It seems that they only kill, not much fighting. Those thieves are vulnerable."
The courtiers were all stunned: Is this what the Jiujiang County Sheriff meant by humility? Is this still modest? This is simply arrogant, okay?
Ying Zheng said: "What was the story of that day? Tell me exactly."
The soldier agreed and said honestly: "That day we saw the bandit leader of Sankun Mountain, the man named Sankun, leading three hundred bandits..."
Meng Tian immediately caught this information and asked excitedly: "You said there are only three hundred thieves in Sankun Mountain."
The pawn said: "Yes, there are heads as evidence."
Soon, many people had mysterious smiles on their faces.
Ying Zheng was also slightly unhappy, thinking: Could it be that the Jiujiang County Sheriff is lying?
He said to the pawn: "Keep talking."
The soldier said: "But these three hundred thieves are attacking Shouchun City."
All civil and military officials in the court were in an uproar: "What? Three hundred thieves attacked Shouchun City? Is this possible? Are these thieves crazy?"
Ying Zheng frowned: "If you don't tell the truth, I will never forgive you."
The pawn said with some fear: "Everything the villain said is true."
His heart began to beat: What's going on? We obviously won a great victory. Why did it feel like he was being interrogated when he came back?
Li Shui looked at the pawn with a pleasant look and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, just say it honestly. We will naturally judge the right and wrong."
The soldier responded and continued: "At that time, the Qin army in Shouchun City did not dare to go to war. What they were doing...sacrifice to the Yellow Emperor. It seems like this."
The courtiers were all confused: "Are you really offering sacrifices to the Yellow Emperor?"
The soldier added: "The people in Shouchun City are offering sacrifices to the Yellow Emperor. The thieves outside are also holding big signs. They seem to be someone from Chi You. The villain doesn't know those two words. He heard what others said."
The more the courtiers listened, the more frightened they became: "Yes, it seems that they are all right."
The soldier continued: "Later, Mr. Fu Yao selected a hundred people from among us. The hundred of us opened the city gate and rushed out. We killed all those people just like chopping melons and vegetables."
"It took about a quarter of an hour to arrange the head."
The courtiers were stunned and asked, "No more?"
The pawn felt a little uneasy: "It's gone, what else can there be?"
Ying Zheng sighed and said to the pawn: "That's it, go down."
The pawn responded and retreated.
Li Shui said with a smile: "Masters, do you think what this pawn said is true?"
The courtiers shook their heads.
Li Shui smiled and said, "I don't think it's true either."
"Then there is only one possibility. There are not 300 people on Sankun Mountain, but 3,000 people, so they dare to attack Shouchun City. Of course, maybe they do have some martial arts among them, so the Qin soldiers in Shouchun City cannot Don’t sacrifice to the Yellow Emperor.”
"After Master Fu Yao wiped out the rebels, he didn't want to take credit, so he told the soldier not to tell the outside world that there were three thousand people. Just say there were three hundred people."
"It's a pity that the young master didn't expect that this pawn is a bit stupid. After all, everyone has seen that he doesn't even know the words."
"This little pawn has traveled hundreds of miles and has almost forgotten all the white lies Master Fu Yao taught him."
"He didn't expect that His Majesty would call him to the Council Hall and question him personally. So out of nervousness, the pawn made up some more content based on his memory. So it sounded very weird."
