Mo Ya, who wanted to understand, looked at Ziyou and couldn't help but sigh. Ziyou's ability to recognize people is not everyone's ability to see through a person's essence at a glance. Ziyou and Bai Yifei saw each other's essence from the first time they met. This ability to recognize people is really shocking.
"What really convinced me of Bai Yifei's true nature was when he poisoned the Jade Tiger. For his own gambling, the Jade Tiger deliberately left the people of Nanyang with nothing to gain. If Bai Yifei had a cold heart, he wouldn't be like this at all. The Jade Tiger is not only Ji Wuye's money. In addition to the bag, it is also the source of Bai Yifei's military salary.
Getting rid of him is equivalent to cutting off your own source of military pay. You should know what would happen to an army without military pay, right? But Bai Yifei still poisoned the Jade Tiger. One can imagine how important Nanyang is to Bai Yifei. " Ziyou said.
"So that's it." Mo Ya nodded and said, he thought of Han Fei's description of the saint in Shuo Lin's article: The saint sees the small to know the cuteness, and sees the end to know the end, so he is frightened by the sight of the chopsticks, and knows that the world is inadequate. , Mo Ya thought that Ziyou should be such a person.
Mo Ya drove the carriage into Nanyang County City, and went directly to the Nanyang County Sheriff's Mansion without any stop. After Mo Ya came to explain his identity, and the white-armored soldier at the door informed Bai Yifei, Ziyou and Mo Ya entered the County Sheriff's Mansion.
Bai Yifei, dressed in blood, was standing in the hall. When he saw Ziyou coming, he saluted and said
"Bai Yifei has met Mr.
"Well, long time no see. I came to see you to fulfill my promise." Ziyou looked at Bai Yifei and said.
Bai Yifei might have been worried about Ziyou's ability to fulfill his promise not to harm Nanyang at all. After all, it was normal to seize money after attacking the city. But after knowing that Ziyou was the commander-in-chief of this attack on South Korea, Bai Yifei gave up his doubts. , to be able to make the three giants of Qin's military, Wang Meng and Feng, willingly give up their positions as commanders, is enough to show Ziyou's prestige in Qin.
"I understand, but please sir, please leave me some dignity." Bai Yifei sighed. When he reached a deal with Ziyou before, he had already thought about his own fate. Even South Korea, which shared weal and woe, could betray him. Bai Yifei was doomed. If he were to be despised by everyone in the world, the Qin court would not keep him. Instead of being liquidated in the end, it would be better to give himself a dignity, so that he could be worthy of his mother and not lose his mother's prestige.
Ziyou and Mo Ya looked confused. When did they say they wanted to kill Bai Yifei? Looking at the faces of Ziyou and Mo Ya, Bai Yifei thought this was not allowed. Their cold faces were full of helplessness and powerlessness.
"I understand. Please keep your promise after I die." Bai Yifei said with a salute.
"Did you misunderstand something? I didn't say I wanted to kill you?" Ziyou said. Bai Yifei cannot die. Bai Yifei's prestige in South Korea is still useful. Although Bai Yifei rebelled against South Korea, Bai Yifei has no one except Nanyang. What a good reputation, people in Nanyang respect him, people in other places fear him, what a good agent he is to stabilize post-war Korea.
In this era, the people's default was the rule of the powerful. The scholars also obeyed because the powerful gave them the power to govern. However, the powerful in Korea cannot be said to be the powerful in South Korea or the powerful in the six countries. No matter good or bad, Ziyou is not prepared to stay. If these people stay, they will be a disaster. They only need to select one or two cooperative people to help the Qin State stabilize its rule. When the disciples of the Ying clan win over the people, the others will There's no use staying.
Later, during the uprising at the end of the Qin Dynasty, all but one of them were supported by these aristocratic elders. Rather than leaving them alone, it would be better to kill them all.
Moreover, South Korea is different from other countries. The rich and powerful in South Korea don’t have many good things. There is no benefit in keeping them. It is better to behead their heads, confiscate their homes, and distribute part of the land to the people to consolidate the political power. The right thing to do is to consolidate the power. During this period, land annexation has already begun. , but not as good as the landlord class in later generations. At this time, the land was in the hands of the powerful, especially the top powerful. The poor went bankrupt, and the land was acquired by the small and medium-sized powerful. The big powerful continued to harvest the middle and lower-level powerful.
"Why did you say this, sir? Can I still stay in the Qin court?" Bai Yifei smiled mockingly.
"Why not? South Korea has been captured and needs someone to govern it, and this person must be loyal enough to Qin and be able to suppress the entire South Korea. I will let the king keep your fiefdom and title. You will still be the Blood-clothed Marquis. It's just that he changed from the Blood-clothed Marquis of Korea to the Blood-clothed Marquis of Qin." Ziyou said.
Bai Yifei already knew in his heart that as a rebel general, he could only rely on Qin to survive. Looking at Ziyou, Bai Yifei knew that he had no reason to refuse, but he still couldn't help but ask
"What do you need to do?"
Retaining his title of marquis and fief, he would not believe it if he was told that he was not required to do anything difficult.
"I need you to lead the army and Feng Wuze to destroy all the nobles in Korea after your rebellion, no matter who they are," Ziyou said.
It was Ziyou's idea to let Feng Wuze and Bai Yifei take action. The Yulin Guards needed a general, and there was no other choice for this person except Feng Wuze. Feng Wuze was a member of the Feng family, and the Feng family was a slave of the Ying family. , so Feng Wuze does not have to worry about Ying's loyalty. The Yulin Guard needs Ying Zheng's own confidants to control it, and the Feng family, who has been responsible for the Xianyang Imperial Guard for generations, is the best choice.
Therefore, it is destined that the Feng family's sphere of influence will only be in the Yulin Guard in the future, while other generals still need to fight, so it is most appropriate to give this task to Feng Wuze. The credit is great, but it will also be easy to be stigmatized. And this is exactly what a monarch's personal guard should look like.
"I understand, are the Zhang family also in this group?" Bai Yifei asked. Kaifangdi has a higher prestige in South Korea than him, so it should be more appropriate to use Kaifangdi, and Kaifaidi belongs to the Confucian sect. people.
"No, the Zhang family is also among those being eliminated. Five generations of the Zhang family have lived in Korea. Their loyalty is to the Korean royal family, not to the people of Korea." Ziyou said, the Zhang family is the biggest headache for him. Korea will be destroyed. After that, the powerful and elderly people in South Korea ate, drank, whored and gambled every day. Only Zhang Liang kept thinking about destroying Qin and restoring the country, so how could he keep them alive.
"I know, I will lead people to do it." Bai Yifei said, this is a pledge of allegiance to the Qin State, and if these people do not die, he will be in trouble, he is a traitor general , these people hate him more than Qin.
Bai Yifei agreed for the first time why it is said that scholars have the most ruthless hearts and do not control soldiers with kindness. Many of these powerful people are related to Confucianism. It cannot be said that they are Confucian disciples, but they are also actively moving closer. Confucianists want to gain a reputation. The disciples of Confucianists in Korea are basically middle- and lower-level officials. They are not rich and powerful, but scholars.
"I will give you time to convince your army that your Baijia Army and the 50,000 troops in Feng Wuze's hands will be the main force in attacking Korea. I don't want to see anyone except you and Han Wang Anzhi after Korea is pacified. Other dignitaries outside." Ziyou said.
"Five days later, five days later you bring people to receive my army." Bai Yifei closed his eyes and said. Although he had already prepared for this day, when the day actually came, he still couldn't accept it.
"Mo Crow, let's go." Ziyou said.
"It's sir." Mo Ya glanced at the blood-clothed Hou who was once unattainable to him, and suddenly found that this aloof and helpless Hou Ye was also helpless and even less comfortable than him. His current life can be said to be extremely leisurely, every day He only needs to drive carriages, run errands and deliver letters, and he can do whatever he wants in the rest of the time. Although he is a horseman, except for a few people in Xianyang, others still respect him quite respectfully. The seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door, Not to mention him as Ziyou's personal groom.
After Ziyou and Mo Ya left, Bai Yifei sat slumped on a chair in the hall. The ground was frozen by thick layers of ice. With a wave of his hand, the ice layers instantly cracked and eventually dissipated. Bai Yifei waved his sleeves and left the hall, heading to to the military camp.
After Mo Ya arrived at the military camp with his carriage, Meng Wu, Yang Duanhe, Li Xin and Feng Wuze came out to greet Ziyou in person. Ziyou also took out the Emperor Sword and the Army Tiger Talisman. The four of them waved their cloaks and saluted.
"Meet the Marshal!"
"Well, now be prepared to receive Nanyang and a hundred thousand troops. Bai Yifei will surrender to Qin in five days." Ziyou said.
The four of them were stunned, as if they didn't hear Ziyou's words, Meng Wu said
"Commander, are you talking about taking over Nanyang and the 100,000 White Armored Army in five days?"
"Is it stressful?" Ziyou asked. There are only 70,000 people here. If it is indeed a bit stressful to take over Nanyang County and an army of 100,000 people, they can mobilize troops from Qin.
"There was no pressure. It was just unexpected that Mr. Bai actually persuaded Bai Yifei to surrender." Meng Wu said.
"Are you surprised?" Ziyou asked, looking at the four of them.
"Yes." The other three people also nodded. Even Yang Duan and the person who had followed Ziyou for the longest time were surprised. He originally thought that Ziyou might assassinate Bai Yifei, leaving Nanyang and the 100,000 army without a leader. They could I wanted to take advantage of the chaos to capture Nanyang, but I didn't expect that I would really capture a hundred thousand troops and the entire Nanyang without using a single soldier.
"This kind of thing will happen again in the future. Nanyang is the richest place in South Korea. If a war breaks out, it will inevitably be beaten into pieces. This is not what Qin wants. Surrendering is the best way." Ziyou said, rebuilding is more difficult than conquering. too much.
"Yes, the general will gather the troops now and let the commander swear his loyalty." Meng Wu said,
"Go ahead."
As the sound of drums sounded throughout the camp, the soldiers quickly gathered under the general stage, waiting for Ziyou to take the oath. Ziyou walked up to the general stage with the Emperor's Sword in one hand and the tiger talisman in the other.
I'm done today. I'm exhausted this afternoon. I've been working all afternoon! !
