Chapter 196: This Is Murder

When the familiar Chu sound came from the ship, the crossbowmen lowered the strong crossbow in their hands and looked into the distance curiously, but they still remained vigilant, because, in the Qin State, there are also Qin people who tell about Chu Yin, most of these people are from Henan County, after Nanjun was captured by the Qin people, the Chu people here have become Qin people, the official language is of course Qin language, but the people's "local language" is still Chu Yin.

The Qin people with Chu Yin in these words killed the Chu people, but they were merciless, the military merit system of the Qin State will not distinguish what accent you speak, even if you are Xirong and Qiang, as long as you can go to the battlefield for the Qin State and cut off the enemy's head, then you can still be promoted. This can also be seen in a kind of inclusiveness of the Qin state, outside the Qin state, the phenomenon of xenophobia is very serious, this kind of xenophobia is not manifested in the high-level, high-level appointment of sages from other countries to serve as ministers of state is very common.

This kind of xenophobia is mainly manifested at the bottom, for example, after the Zhao State conquered many areas of Linhu, the Zhao people who migrated in the past were unwilling to come into contact with the local Hu people, and no one would recommend them to serve as officials, that is, they were recruited as soldiers, and generals were also sent by other regions of Zhao to command. Of course, there is also a chain of contempt in the Qin State, for example, the old Qin people look down on the new Qin people, but there is no special treatment, no matter who they are, no matter where they come from, they have an equal chance of promotion.

Gradually, the people on the ships also showed their true colors, they did not wear armor, nor did they carry weapons, they just stood on the boats in fear, shouting at the Chu people along the coast, they were afraid that they would be shot by their own people. Jing Yang squinted his eyes, looked at these unarmed people, and did not give the order to shoot, when the boat approached the coast, some Chu people jumped from the boat excitedly, and half of their bodies fell into the water.

They ran towards the shore, paddled across the water, made a splash, and ran up to the shore soaking wet.

"Don't come close!" Some of the generals yelled at them, and the soldiers raised their bows and crossbows again, aiming at them, and these people did not dare to go any further, but shouted: "I am a Chu person!" I am the king under the command of General Jingyang, and the king is a two-step pawn, a two-step pawn, a winter sunflower!! ”

"I'm a soldier of Fanyang County, Lu Jia, Ding Shijia, and a bow!!"

"I'm Jiao Jun and Sima Hu!!"

These people explained their identities, there were royal pawns, county pawns, private pawns, and regular pawns, those Chu people who were wary of them looked at them seriously, and some recognized them, and some soldiers shouted: "Hu! I know him! It's really him! Surrounded by soldiers, Jingyang walked towards them. found out that the person who came was General Jingyang, and the soldiers who were sent in were even more excited.

"Second and third sons, how did you come back?"

"It was Wu Anjun who let us go."

"Uh-huh???"

They were only the first batch of people, Jingyang asked them to take them away, and let them dry their bodies, then they asked about everything in detail, and the soldiers told him that the Qin people did not kill the prisoners, all the prisoners were released, they were the first batch, and after them, there were still many soldiers, all ready to come back. Jingyang frowned, listening to them excitedly saying that he didn't expect to return to his hometown.

Releasing the captives in vain? Jingyang didn't believe it, this must be a trick of the Qin people, perhaps, they just mixed the Qin people into these captives, wanted to lurk, and then take the opportunity to collude with Bai Qi... Jingyang asked all the departments to come to recognize the people, and ordered the departments to beware of these Chu people who came back, he was afraid that these people were bought by Bai Qi. After them, sure enough, the ships came and went again, bringing back a lot of Chu people.

Jingyang arranged for the soldiers to be ready at any time to deal with the enemy's attack, and sent people to seriously verify the identities of these returning Chu people, some Chu people could not prove their identities at all, because most of their Tongze were killed in battle, even their generals were also killed in battle, Chu State did not have a strict household registration system like Qin State, there was no way to verify it, not to mention that the military system of Chu State was chaotic, and there was no way to check it out.

"General... I'm really a pawn in Xia Cai County... We're all of us, and the rest of our colleagues have been killed... You can send someone to Xia Cai to ask, our family members are all in Xia Cai...", the soldiers said tremblingly, Jing Yang smiled, nodded, and said, "Okay, I will send someone to ask." He waved his hand and said to the samurai around him, "Take them back and rest well, and wait for news from Xia Cai." ”

The Chu people were very happy, bowed to Jingyang, and then left here.

The next day, no one noticed that the soldiers who came from Xia Cai but could not prove themselves had disappeared.

Jingyang secretly killed those captives whose identities could not be found, because they couldn't find their identities, and other people didn't know them, but they only had a vague impression that in the army of hundreds of thousands of people, the disappearance of some people was completely unnoticeable.

These soldiers who came back may have resentment in their hearts, after all, the Chu State did not redeem them with food, but after they got rid of the threat of death, they were only excited and happy in their hearts, and the resentment in their hearts did not explode. When they sat in front of the campfire to roast the fire, finally a soldier quietly asked them: "I heard that Bai Qi was tyrannical, how could he let go of the second and third sons?" ”

"It's all because of Ma Fujun... The second and third sons didn't know that the reason why the Qin State fought was not to kill people or to dominate, they wanted to save the world and save the world from war... Ma Fujun said: There is only one king in the world...", these captives began to talk about the education they received from the Qin people, and after being released by the Qin people, they also unconsciously believed in the so-called one king of the world.

They longed for it: "One king in the world, everyone can get arable land, there is no forced labor, the tax is very light, anyone can bear it, everyone can eat enough, and there is no need to fear dying on the battlefield..."

The soldiers of the Chu State widened their eyes and listened blankly as they told about a completely new world.

.......

Wei Wuji led the soldiers of Zhao State, quickly crossed the Danshui, and then met the Qin army commanded by Wang Ling, Wang Ling brought reinforcements from Xianyang, plus the soldiers of the Shangdang, but more than 60,000 people, he took advantage of Wei Wuji just crossed the Danshui, the whole army was tired, launched an attack, however, he met Wei Wuji, Wei Wuji backed against Danshui, personally led the chariot troops to tear apart the opponent's Chinese army, the whole army stormed, actually defeated Wang Ling, Wang Ling retreated to the light wolf city.

Bai Qi ordered Mengwu to attack Dengcheng with a partial division, defeated the remaining troops of the Chu State, and recaptured the city, Mengwu continued to take the partial division to the north, swaggering through the territory of Korea, and blocked the Wei army that was preparing to rush to Shangdang in Changshe, and the two sides fought a big battle, and the Wei army was defeated and retreated to Xinzheng.

The two sides fought on a front of nearly a thousand miles, which made Bai Qi become a little excited, and he took the main army of Chu and prepared for a full-scale attack along the Rushui coast, and the army of Qin was ready to move.

And Jing Yang, the general of Chu State, was a little anxious at the moment, he was still a little happy, because Bai Qi sent back these captives, so that the army of Chu State once again reached the scale of 300,000, and he was not afraid of Bai Qi at all, but he did not expect that after those captives returned to Chu State, they began to shake the military heart of the entire Chu State army, they openly talked about the heresy of Yingkuo, and vigorously praised the "benevolent government" of Qin State.

What is the rule of law, what is the world of one king, the head of their story is the Tao, those ordinary people of Chu who are illiterate on weekdays, have all turned into pious disciples of Ma Fujun at this moment, muttering about Ma Fujun's idea of great unification, and saying that he is against the Qin people, which is an act that hurts heaven and reason, just to satisfy the selfish desires of the nobles. Jing Yang, who was always staring at them, naturally knew these things for the first time.

He immediately ordered: The whole army must not talk about Zhao Kuo, and those who violate it will die.

Subsequently, he killed several Chu soldiers who talked about the world again, but he didn't expect that his actions almost triggered a rebellion, and those returning Chu soldiers actually accused him of his brutality in person, and some soldiers shouted angrily: "Qin pardon me, Chu kill me!" More soldiers began to echo him, complaining that the Chu State was reluctant to redeem itself with grain, could it be that his life was not as good as some grain?

Others said that after returning to the Chu State, they actually began to starve, and they were captured by the Qin people, but they never starved!

Jing Yang looked at these soldiers in horror and was speechless.

At this time, Bai Qi launched a full-scale cross-river attack, the ships of the Qin people attacked the coast, and the flying arrows were overwhelming, Jingyang was ready for everything, but when the two sides encountered the battle, the army of Chu was actually crushed at the first touch, and the soldiers did not hold on for a moment, and began to flee, Jingyang was stunned to see the large number of routs emerging in front of him, and he had already seen that the root of the rout was the prisoners released by the Qin people...

Jingyang quickly evacuated Shangcai and retreated to Chengyang with a large number of main forces.

It's ridiculous to say, this absurd rout is actually a war with the least cost since the war between Chu and Qin, Chu has almost no casualties, and as soon as the two sides came into contact, the Chu army fled, without any fighting spirit at all, and Jingyang gathered the rout, and when he came to Chengyang, he found that there were tens of thousands of people missing. These people all became deserters, and some people surrendered directly to the Qin people.

Bai Qi crossed the Rushui and couldn't help but laugh as he watched those who honestly lay down their weapons and waited for the Qin people to come and capture their Chu captives.

Those Qin people who were reluctant to give preferential treatment to the captives had already understood the benefits of preferential treatment of the captives at this moment, and they stepped forward with a smile, accepted these captives, gave them some food, and gave them some Chu version of the "Book of Horse Clothing", and then sent them away, and the captives of the Chu State looked at them reluctantly. Because of the lack of food in the Chu State, they can't even eat enough in the Chu State.... Here in the Qin State, you can eat enough.

"There are soldiers of the Chu State who want to join us?" , Bai Qi looked at his lieutenant in a trance, the lieutenant nodded, scratching his head a little puzzled, it was the first time he saw such a thing, Bai Qi was silent for a moment, and then said: "Then let them stay.."

After the deputy general left, Bai Qifang picked up Zhao Kuo's bamboo slip, and he held it tightly, "This is war... This is what kills the enemy...", a light appeared in his eyes, at this moment, he was really looking forward to meeting Zhao Kuo, this Ma Fujun told him a way to kill the enemy faster, that is a kind of psychological destruction, far more terrible than destroying the physical body.

Jingyang was not discouraged, he already understood that those Chu soldiers who were released by the Qin people had lost their fighting spirit, and let them be in the army, they would only cause a big rout, understanding this, Jingyang singled out those returning Chu people from the army, and ordered them to return to their hometown to farm, according to Jingyang, this is a reward for them, they can go home and reunite with their families.

Jingyang's move made these Chu people less dissatisfied, Jingyang quickly reorganized the army, leaving only those elites who still had fighting spirit and could fight with the Qin people, and reduced the bloated army of 300,000 to 100,000, however, the Chu army did not lose its combat effectiveness because of this, but strengthened it, and those prisoners left the battlefield and walked towards the territory of Chu State.

Standing at the head of the city, Jingyang looked at the departing soldiers... He sighed, he was not stupid, he had already discovered Bai Qi's plan to attack the heart, these people going to various parts of the Chu State would definitely cause more serious consequences, they would tell the villagers about Zhao Kuo's heresy, but Jingyang had no other way, these people staying here would only reduce the combat effectiveness of the Chu army, no, it would directly cause the rout of the Chu army.

Jing Yang had no way to make them forget those heresies, and it was even more impossible for Jing Yang to kill them. These are all Chu people, no one brutally wants to slaughter their own people, not to mention that these hundreds of thousands of people are the national strength of Chu State, they also have their own families, villagers, if they are killed, it will cause a greater impact in Chu State, and it may cause rebellion. Jingyang was a little helpless, he could only tell Chun Shenjun these news, hoping that Chun Shenjun could have a way to solve it.

He has a more important mission, and he has to stop Bai Qi.

Subsequently, Bai Qi launched an attack again, the troops were divided into four ways, attacking the hinterland of Chu from four directions, Jingyang blocked with all his might, the two sides were entangled, Jingyang was repeatedly defeated, and constantly retreated, but he never bowed to Bai Qi, and finally blocked Bai Qi's rapid offensive.

Xianyang, inside the royal palace

"Now, it's time to send an envoy to the state of Chu to discuss peace... Our strategic goal has been perfectly accomplished, Chu has no food, and does not dare to continue to confront Qin, if they accept Qin's peace, then we can attack the Three Jin with peace of mind, Chu disregards the battle of the Three Jin, and privately negotiate peace with us, then the six-nation alliance that Chu wants to maintain will collapse immediately...", Fan Ju said with a sneer.

"If Chu does not agree to negotiate peace, or wants to maintain the alliance of six countries, then the problem of food shortage in Chu will be even more serious, as long as we reveal the idea that Qin wants to negotiate peace, the Chu people will want to stop the war, the soldiers will lose their combat effectiveness, and the people will also scold the king of Chu, Huang Xie.... And the strategy of attacking the heart implemented by Wu Anjun will also completely explode, and the state of Chu will not be far from destruction..."

Fan Ju has always liked to kill multiple birds with one stone, and King Qin listened to his analysis, smiled and nodded.

"Ma Fujun, how's it going?"

"He set up a medical officer in Zhao State...", Fan Ju seriously told the King of Qin about the medical officer system implemented by Zhao Kuo in Zhao State, and King Qin nodded and said: "Very good, please implement it in Qin as soon as possible." Zhao Guo is popularized to the county, then we will popularize it to the township! Each township has a medical officer according to different symptoms... If there are not enough medical officers, then speed up the training, and follow the system of cultivating craftsmen! ”

"Yui."

ps: If the second and third sons don't give me a monthly pass, I will write Ma Fujun to death.
