After the Korean court ended, Zhang Kai returned to his mansion.
Zhang Liang was panicked when he saw the sad face and asked quickly
"Grandpa, what happened? Did something happen in the battle ahead?"
Zhang Liang took an open look and shook his head and said
"No, the king ordered Bai Yifei to take the initiative and attack the Qin army."
Regarding King Han's order, Kaifangdi also knew that King Han issued such an order out of fear. It was normal for him to panic and issue wrong orders due to fear, but what made Kaikaidi heartbroken was after he advised King Han. His attitude made him understand that King Han also had a bad attitude. Facing such a country and such a monarch, he could not find any hope.
"How could it be? How long has it been since the Battle of Changping? How could the king make such a foolish decision? Didn't my grandfather dissuade him?" Zhang Liang also said in disbelief.
"I tried to dissuade him, but your Majesty didn't listen." He said, shaking his head openly.
Zhang Liang was also silent. He didn't know why Han Wangan made such a decision. They could only hope that Bai Yifei could really find a suitable fighter plane to fight and defeat the Qin army in a battle. However, this hope was too slim, even No.
At this time, Wang Jian also received a secret letter from Ziyou. He was surprised when he saw the order to destroy all the nobles in Korea, but he still put away the secret letter and invited Dun Ruo to explain that the powerful people in Qin were After the army occupied it, he led his servants to stab the Qin army in the back. The Qin army was moved by the loyalty of these dignitaries to South Korea, so the Qin army killed their whole family and occupied their property. Of course, this was to the Qin court. As for the local Common people, they want to eat these powerful people.
At this time in Xianyang, Han Fei was kneeling in the main hall, and Ying Zheng was sitting above looking at Han Fei below.
"As long as the king spares the people of Korea and my father, Honglian, I am willing to serve Qin." Han Fei bowed his head and said. His entry into Qin and involving the Qin court was a complete failure, and Korea was destined to be destroyed. , what he can do is to prevent the people of South Korea from suffering because of this war, which is worthy of the people, and it is also worthy of filial piety to protect his father and sister.
"I admire your talent, sir, but do you know that Qin does not need the old Korea? What it needs is a brand-new Yingchuan County." Ying Zheng said indifferently. He was a little angry at Han Fei's attitude. If Han Fei joined Qin in the first place, To help the Qin State, he could directly agree to this condition. After all, it is not difficult to raise another Han Wangan. As for the people of South Korea, Qin's goal is not to destroy South Korea, but to build Qin's Yingchuan County. Naturally, it will not invade the people. .
"In the hundreds of years since the Spring and Autumn Period, in the war to destroy the country, if the king did not kill himself, the surrendered king would not be killed. If the king of Han was killed, everyone in the other five countries would be in danger. At that time, Qin would face If there is greater resistance, I can guarantee that if my father is left behind, the Korean people will never riot in the future." Han Fei said in a deep voice.
"Sir, do you know that the teacher has issued an order not to leave any powerful people in Korea? Do you understand?" Ying Zheng said.
Han Fei was silent. Not leaving any powerful people in South Korea meant that the existence of King Han was meaningless. Qin must have had a backup plan if it dared to do this.
"I will keep the lives of Wang An of Han and Princess Honglian, but I will not keep the other clan members. This is because I respect your talent. The soldiers of Qin State laid down the land with their lives. I don't want to see the land of Qin State again." Soldiers lost their lives fighting the rebellion," Ying Zheng said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Han Fei said. He smiled bitterly in his heart, but then he felt relieved. There was only so much he could do. It was enough to be worthy of his father and the common people.
"I will issue an edict to the teacher and Wang Jian. Sir, please go back. When Korea is pacified, sir, you can join the imperial court and help Tonggu revise the Qin law." Ying Zheng waved his hand and said.
"No!" Han Fei said.
Han Fei left the Palace of Qin and looked at the dazzling sun. Han Fei couldn't tell whether his mood was good or bad. Facing the fact that the country was about to be destroyed and his efforts failed, he should be in great pain, but in fact he His mood was not so sad, but calm. Perhaps he had long known in his heart that South Korea's prosperity was ultimately a dream, just like the dream he had about his own death. Now that he has woken up from the dream, it is time for people to wake up too. .
"The ending now is much better than in the dream. At least the people of South Korea will have better lives in the future because of my law." Han Fei murmured to himself.
"Brother Han, are you out? I heard that Dingxiang Restaurant has launched some new dishes. Let's go try them." Jing Ke patted the wine bottle on his waist and said.
"Let's go." Han Fei and Jing Ke walked towards Dingxiang Tower together.
Jing Ke looked at Han Fei beside him with a smile on his face. Although he and Han Fei hung out together every day and looked like two free and easy prodigal sons, Jing Ke knew that Han Fei always had a stone or two in his heart. Yes, now that these stones are gone, Han Fei has really begun to try wine, the most beautiful thing in the world.
Han Fei and Jing Ke entered the Dingxiang Tower arm in arm.
Ying Zheng's edict reached the front line. Both Wang Jian and Ziyou received the edict, which required the lives of Han Wangan and Princess Honglian. Ziyou put away the edict.
"Tell Wang Jian that the battle in Nanyang is over. After defeating Wei Zhuang, let them directly surround Xinzheng and not let a single powerful person go." Ziyou said.
"No!" Mo Ya said, then disappeared into the tent to deliver the message to Wang Jian.
"What's going on over there at Bai Yifei?" Ziyou asked.
"There is still an hour before the agreed time, and we are ready to receive Nanyang. According to the spies' report, there seems to be civil strife in the Nanyang military camp." Meng Wu said.
"Don't worry about it. Bai Yifei will take care of it. After taking over Nanyang, he will quickly go north. He must surround Xinzheng as soon as possible and not let those people escape." Ziyou said. Ziyou was going to make up for the cost of this expedition from this group of powerful people. When we come back, the richest person in South Korea is not the King of Korea. South Korea's treasury and clan houses have long been emptied. The richest people are these powerful families.
The powerful and powerful families have a very high reputation in the local area. At the same time, the family inheritance from generation to generation has allowed them to accumulate enough wealth and land. In the previous wars between various countries, good military discipline did not commit any crimes. Those with poor military discipline also allowed soldiers to plunder the people, but the people How much money do you have? If you want to make money, you also need to make money from rich people, so these powerful people have become Ziyou's biggest targets.
At this time, in the Nanyang military camp, Bai Yifei was dressed in blood. The red and white swords in his hands were covered with blood beads. The armor of the guards behind him was also covered with blood stains. There were more than a dozen corpses lying on the ground.
"Master Marquis, everything has been cleaned up." The guard said.
"Cut off their heads and bring them with you." Bai Yifei said. These people are unwilling to surrender. These people are also children of families with their own fiefdoms or families. They have only one goal, even if they defeat Korea from top to bottom. Even if they die, they must protect their own interests. For this reason, Bai Yifei can only send them on their way in person.
Looking at the corpses of these people, Bai Yifei also understood why Ziyou wanted to kill all the powerful people in South Korea. They were not patriotic, but were protecting their family interests in the name of patriotism. They are just victims of their interests. If these people are left alive, they will definitely rebel in the future because they do not get enough benefits under the rule of Qin.
But no matter what, these people are Nanyang disciples.
"No! The commander of the Qin army is approaching the camp with his troops." The guard continued.
"Bring the head and come with me to greet him." Bai Yifei said.
The guards on the side handed Bai Yifei the tiger talisman of the army, the seal of the Nanjun governor, and the map of Nanyang. Bai Yifei looked at the symbol of military power and political power on the tray and walked out of the Nanyang military camp with the support of the guards. in the middle, with an army of one hundred thousand behind him.
Meng Wu looked at Ziyou with some worry. Although he didn't see Bai Yifei actually surrendering, he was still worried about Bai Yifei's surrender. What if it was a fake surrender? The strong bows and crossbows of the Korean army are no joke. Looking at the defenders on the top of Nanyang City and the strong bows, Meng Wu became more and more worried.
Immediately, the gate of the Nanyang military camp opened. Bai Yifei, dressed in red robes, rode a white horse and held a tray in his hand. When the two sides were only a dozen steps away, Bai Yifei dismounted, took the tray from the guard beside him, and came to Ziyou. in front of the horse.
Ziyou turned over and dismounted. Bai Yifei took a deep breath and knelt down to Ziyou. He raised the tray in his hand above his head. The tiger talisman, seal and map were particularly dazzling in the sun. Meng Wu looked at Bai Yifei in horror. Although he knew that Bai Yifei was going to surrender, But I still felt incredible when I saw this scene. At the same time, I thought of the bet between Ziyou and Wei Liao, and I couldn't help but think about it.
Today's military strategists are all passed down from masters and apprentices or from father to son. There are very few written military arts, and each family takes good care of them. It is impossible for outsiders to see them. If Wei Liao loses, he must give his military arts to Qin. , he felt that he had to shamelessly ask Ying Zheng to let him see the art of war. This was an art of war that Wang Jian didn't even see when he served Wei Liao as his own father.
Ziyou took the tray and after confirming the tiger talisman, seal and map on it, he took the tray and raised it. Meng Wu behind him raised his long sword and shouted loudly.
"Great Qin Dynasty for ten thousand years!"
The soldiers behind him naturally saw the tiger talisman and seal in Ziyou's hand, and shouted in unison.
"The Qin Dynasty will be victorious, and the Qin army will be victorious!"
The Qin army roared into the sky, their flags fluttered, and their momentum soared into the sky.
On the contrary, everyone on the Korean side was dejected, with tears shed on some people's faces. Bai Yifei's face was also filled with sadness, and he stood up and said to the guards beside him.
"Send the order, surrender to Qin, and remove your armor!"
The guards clasped their fists to convey the military order. The order to remove armor was passed throughout the Nanyang military camp. Wherever the order came, there was the sound of thin ropes of armor falling to the ground. As the Korean flag fell with a crash, one hundred thousand troops surrendered.
Mengwu sent soldiers to take over an army of 100,000 people, segregated them into military camps, and sent people to strictly guard them. Now that they surrendered, it was inevitable that they would suddenly rebel and lead the people around them to riot.
As the weapons and armor were received, a black Great Qin dragon flag flew over Nanyang. Nanyang, the last rich land in South Korea that Qin had coveted for a long time, finally belonged to Qin. Bai Yifei and Ziyou stood on the top of the city and watched. The empty Nanyang County City below asked
"You promised me."
"I will fulfill my promise as I said. Meng Wu and Li Xin will lead the guards to inspect Nanyang. Our Qin army must not infringe on the people in the slightest, let alone affect their farming!" Ziyou said.
"No!" The two of them took the order and went on inspection with their personal guards.
They also understood that Ziyou did this to give the future a good start. Because of the chaos among the countries, especially the heavy killings the Qin army had set before, the people were afraid that the Qin army would massacre the city or rob the people, and the generals guarding the city also This will be used to allow the people to defend the city. Later, with the example of Nanyang, the resistance of the people will not be so fierce, which will also be of great benefit to future governance. The two also understand the seriousness of this matter. , and dare not slack off at all.
