Chapter 1537: Secret Order
If Ye Shikai is not mistaken, the words engraved on the meteorite should be "The first emperor died and divided", this is a curse of his words, whether it is the so-called "providence", or the people in order to retaliate and engrave the curse, this is a big thing, because this is a meteorite, in the eyes of the ancients, the change of stars is often related to the change of dynasty, in the eyes of modern people, this may be a little superstitious, but Qin Shi Huang may not think so.
Ye Shikai immediately led people to the place where the meteorite fell, and sure enough, there were a few big characters faintly engraved on it.
The First Emperor died and was divided.
Ye Shikai didn't believe that there would be a "providence", nine times out of ten it was carved by nearby villagers with knives, but there was no monitoring here, and it was impossible to find out who it was.
If it were really according to history, the people in the vicinity would have been killed because of this sentence.
"My lord, this meteorite fell here last night, according to the nearby villagers, at the beginning, it was like a big fireball, emitting a red light, and you could feel the burning sensation more than ten meters away, and after a full day, this meteorite was considered to be "cool". A sergeant reported.
"Such a high temperature, is it carved by a person? Ye Shikai muttered to himself.
"General, what are the words on this, the villain is illiterate, you can show it. ”
"Look at what you see, spread it all out, don't reveal half a word about today's affairs, otherwise, the military law will severely punish you. Ye Shikai was excited, and suddenly shouted, startling all the sergeants.
"Whew...... Here. ”
Ye Shikai ordered the sergeants to stay here and not allow anyone to approach, especially the people nearby, if this matter spread out in ten or ten hundred places, then the situation would be even worse.
The 20,000 army stayed here for two days, and the matter of the Dongjun meteorite also spread out like a plague, and soon, not only the people of Dongjun, but even the people of Hanoi County also rushed over, Ye Shikai couldn't help but be a little irritable, could it be that the people at this time already liked to "watch the excitement".
On the third day, late at night, outside the barracks.
"Who is coming, why is it so late at night, and report the name. The guards guarding the village saw a group of Qin soldiers coming from outside the village, and immediately came out to inquire.
"Little brother, I am the county lieutenant of Hanoi County, Han Hao, a friend of your general, I came here late at night for an emergency military situation, please go in and report it. The leading general said lightly, and the guards stepped forward with torches to take a look, and immediately got out of the way.
"It turned out to be Lord Han, it was the villain who collided with you just now, and I ask for forgiveness, I can't hide it, I also followed General Ye out of Hanoi County, and I used to be your subordinate. ”
"That's the best, we have an emergency military situation, you should go in and report it quickly. Han Hao nodded in response.
"Wow. ”
...................................................
"Lord Han, you said that you didn't say hello when you led your troops, I didn't have time to prepare. Ye Shikai hurriedly lit up the camp tent and welcomed Han Hao into the seat.
"I also came by order, so naturally I didn't dare to delay, and I rushed over after mobilizing 30,000 soldiers and horses, and I didn't rest for three days. Han Hao explained.
"Come and serve wine, I want to have a good drink with Lord Han. Ye Shikai said with a smile, speaking of which, the two have not seen each other for several months, as Ye Shikai's old superior, Han Hao has helped him many times before, Ye Shikai is not an ungrateful person, but whenever Han Hao has a request, he will go all out, and the mission will be achieved.
"Just now, Lord Han said that you came by order, and whose order was it. During the banquet, Ye Shikai knocked on the side and asked, in fact, he had already guessed in his heart that Han Hao was the county lieutenant of a county, and there was only one person who could give him orders, and that was His Majesty the Emperor who was far away in Xianyang.
"Of course, it is a military order from Xianyang, the fall of the meteorite in Dongjun, His Majesty the Emperor already knows, in order to prevent the people from mutiny, he immediately ordered to mobilize a heavy army to guard the meteorite, because the meteorite fell at the junction of the two counties, so I also received a military order to lead the troops here. Han Hao explained.
"I see. ”
"Brother Ye, we have also drunk wine and talked about old things, so we should talk about some serious things. Han Hao put down his wine glass, and his expression suddenly became serious.
"Lord Han, please speak. ”
"Is there a word engraved on this meteorite? Han Hao got straight to the point, and his palms trembled in shock.
"Ahem, this ...... I don't know. Ye Shikai said perfunctorily.
"Yes, Brother Ye has been here for two or three days, at least he should have seen this meteorite, the words engraved on it ......" Han Hao scratched his neck with his palm and made a gesture of "cutting off the head".
"This is a capital offense that kills the head. ”
It seems that Han Hao already knows, Ye Shikai sighed secretly, the sentence "The first emperor died and divided", I don't know why, it still spread out, the reason why Han Hao didn't take the initiative to say it just now is probably that he still wants Ye Shikai to say it himself.
"Those words were just engraved by some rebels, and if you want to curse Your Majesty, I have sent a sergeant to search, and there are many active rebels nearby, and when they are caught, they will be interrogated immediately. ”
"Yes, Brother Ye is so convinced that it was written by those thieves. Han Hao asked rhetorically.
"Who else would it be. ”
"His Majesty the Emperor doesn't think so, Ying is confused and guarded, something big must happen, and so many things have happened within the empire recently, and His Majesty is upset about this. Han Hao shook his head, "Those words on the meteorite, Your Majesty already knows, Brother Ye doesn't need to be curious, Your Majesty has his own means, it's not for you and me to speculate." ”
"Okay, I won't hide it from you, this time, I received a secret order from His Majesty the Emperor. Han Hao clapped his hands, and an adjutant general stepped forward and presented the holy decree.
"This is the secret order given to me by His Majesty the Emperor. Han Hao said lightly, "The First Emperor issued an order to kill all the people within a radius of fifty miles where the meteorite fell to the ground, and not one of them was left, in case the secrets on the meteorite were revealed." ”
"What. Ye Shikai shouted loudly, now he can no longer calm down, the people within a radius of fifty miles, not to mention tens of thousands, are indiscriminately killed.
"Lord Han, this word was obviously engraved by rebels, in order to confuse the public and disturb the people's hearts, how can we kill all of them regardless of whether they are good or bad, besides, as generals of the Qin army, we should defend the country and protect the people, how can we slaughter the people. Ye Shikai retorted.
"It is precisely because we are generals that we must be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, this matter is a secret order of the Emperor, there is no possibility of a turnaround, even if you and I are unwilling, there is no room for change. ”
