In the history of the Chinese land war before the Han Dynasty, there were also many famous generals who could be called unborn. Their ruthlessness on the battlefield is terrifying.

Among the representatives, such as Wu Anjun Bai Qi of the Great Qin Empire, the Battle of Changping, killed 400,000 Zhao pawns! As a result, the state of Zhao was defeated until its demise. Another example is Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, who buried more than 200,000 Qin soldiers alive overnight, which can be regarded as a tragic means.

As for the other brutal killings, they are even more innumerable. This is for the needs of the war, and at the same time for the prerogative of the victors.

Under the special conditions of war, such an act naturally cannot be judged by humanitarian standards. But the thousand-year-old infamy borne by these famous generals cannot be washed away.

However, compared with these famous generals of the previous generation, Yuan Zhao, who rose strongly at the beginning of the heyday of the Han Dynasty, whether it is in the most authoritative "History of the Han Empire" or in other historical records of later generations, everything he did was only respect and honor, and there was no slander.

In fact, if you calculate it carefully, the enemies who died directly or indirectly in the hands of Yuan Zhao may have surpassed any of the previous famous generals. The others can be ignored, starting from the Xiongnu War and continuing to this westward conquest of the Persian Empire. In total, nearly a million enemies have been destroyed in wars and wars.

In this day and age, this is a terrifying number in every way. Although there are also the merits of other generals, almost all of the work of coordinating the movement is due to the power of Yuan Zhao alone. This was a universally recognized fact both then and later.

History books are written by victors. The reason why the Han Dynasty was able to live through the ages is that it has a lot to do with it. But the main reason is that the wars he commanded and planned, and the enemies he faced were all resisting aliens rather than killing their own kinds.

A thousand years of time are just a snap of a finger. When the brilliant light of Chinese civilization shines on the earth, all the races in the world will inherit its blessings, coexist peacefully, and prosper forever. However, the stumbling blocks that hindered the historical process in the process of such "great unification" have sunk into the abyss forever and are difficult to redeem.

Such a tragic fate, although worthy of sympathy, not many people will have pity. Like the souls who died in the great battles of the flames, and like the destruction of the Persian royal city...... The poor race abandoned by God, dead or alive, is destined to be buried in the depths of history and forgotten forever.

The vast earth, who is the lord of ups and downs! The rain stopped and the wind stopped, the black clouds gradually drifted away, and under the light and sweeping dragon flag of the Han Dynasty, the young Han Guogong who was like the stars holding the moon stood on the bow of the ship, bearing the infinite reverence contained in the eyes of all the Han soldiers.

This is the glory he deserves. Such loyalty and love come from the bottom of my heart. From generals to soldiers, everyone looked excitedly at the improvised warship walking on the water from their position. The man who stood on the bow of the ship with his robe flying led them thousands of miles to this strange continent. Originally, in such a difficult environment, I thought there would be a hard battle. But I didn't expect that the decisive victory came so easily, the soldiers were bloodless, the royal city was drowned, and the enemy was killed and wounded under the flood!

This ship, which was built improvised from local materials, has a very ordinary style. Of course, it is not comparable to those ships that are accustomed to seeing in the rivers and rivers of the north and south of the Central Plains, and it cannot be compared with the building ships and warships that crisscross the sea. But at this moment, in the eyes of all the gazes, this ordinary ship is where all their spirit lies.

After the rain, the sky is clear, and the sun is rising in the east. Around the royal city, as far as the eye can see, there are vast and vast, and all of them are water-colored. The Han army was stationed on several higher areas that could not be flooded, and the royal city they had previously surrounded was only a tall half of the city wall and a very small part of the buildings still exposed above the water. Some vague figures on it were desperately waiting for their final fate.

On this vast water, the glow after the continuous rainstorm pierced people a little unable to open their eyes. The colorful colors began to dispel the gray, and gradually awakened the consciousness of life.

The banner of the five-clawed dragon fluttered, and the light of the sun came on the water. As the distance drew closer, the Persians, who had survived, trembled together at the top of the city, and they were too afraid to look up at the enemy.

No matter how arrogant and ignorant the Persian nobles were, they now understood that the gap between them and their powerful opponents from the Eastern Empire was really too great. This is a condescending crushing, it's really pitiful, think that their king was still ambitious to lead all of them to conquer the world!

But how long has it been? The sight of the Persian army setting out from the royal city once caused excitement and shock throughout the Western continent. The light of the King of Kings' golden sword still lingered in the corners of everyone's eyes. The smoke and dust that those samurai legions had stepped on still drifted high in the air and did not disperse. However, all this has become an illusion.

"Still alive...... Are these people left? ”

A calm voice sounded more than a dozen feet away. The Persian royal family led by them was shocked, and they raised their heads with some difficulty, and finally saw clearly the appearance of the commander of the Han army opposite.

"There should be no one else alive. In the royal city, the water was several feet deep, and the four gates were closed, and in a hurry, no one could escape alive....... ”

The Han scouts, who had been closely monitoring the situation around the entire city, had everything under control. Yuan Zhao nodded. There was a short distance between the ship and the city, but there was no need to visit the city now.

"Is that the roof of the palace?"

Yuan Zhao smiled faintly and pointed to the place where the sunlight on the water was shining golden color. This is the only part of the city that has not been flooded. It has also become a clear mark.

The faces of the Persian nobles were a little dull, and they did not know what to say. But I heard a Han army general scolding sternly, surrounded by sword light, murderous awe.

"Yuan Gong asked you something! Are they all dumb or deaf? ”

The Persian nobles led by him trembled with fright, and hurriedly lowered their heads and said in a hoarse and dull voice.

"That's it...... The location of the royal palace is located. ”

Yuan Zhao waved his hand to stop the impatience of the generals around him. These guys must have itchy hands, and according to their meaning, they must not have to talk nonsense, just go over and cut this little poor worm into the water, cleanly. However, he didn't want to do that right now. When the overall situation is decided, there is no point in killing a few people who do not matter.

"Your king of Persia is in a different place. Your royal city has been completely submerged. Soon after, when the water receded, it would be in ruins...... In many years' time, even these walls and stones will no longer exist. So, you are only living to suffer more. ”

Hearing his indifferent tone, the Persian nobles at the head of the city seemed to have heard the doomsday pronouncement. They didn't expect that when the breath of death really hung over their heads, it would be so terrifying. I couldn't help but fall to my knees, weeping bitterly and begging for mercy.

"We lost...... Spare your life...... But beg mercy that we will not die...... We're willing to give it all...... Great Commander, please be gracious! ”

"Huh! Your whole country is about to be gone, and what will there be to give? ”

Someone on the bow of the ship sneered sarcastically. The Persian nobles were stunned, they really had nothing left. However, under the strong impetus of the survival instinct, someone suddenly thought of something and hurriedly shouted loudly.

"We still have treasures! Treasure of the King of Persia...... They are hidden in the palace......! ”

The soldiers of the Han army were a little surprised, but they didn't know whether it was true or not. They looked at Yuan Zhao together, waiting for him to make a decision.

"Oh? Let's hear it. ”

Yuan Zhao's expression remained unchanged, looking at those who were desperately begging for mercy with interest. As if grasping the last straw, several Persian nobles who knew a little bit of the inside story hurriedly scrambled to speak.

"The treasure of Persia, hidden by the kings of Persia, is of immeasurable value! They were hidden in the king's house...... We are willing to ask for forgiveness with this secret! ”

"So, where exactly is it hidden?"

"This ...... This one...... But I don't know. Great commander, please believe that we did not deliberately conceal it, but this secret was never known only to the king of Persia....... ”

Looking at these people who were kneeling on the ground and trying to live, Yuan Zhao sighed slightly. Being greedy for life and afraid of death is human nature, and it has nothing to do with status. The Persian aristocracy, who had been devastated mentally, could no longer form any threatening demagogic force.

"Go ahead...... Come, give them a boat, and after leaving the royal city, whether they live or die depends on the destiny of heaven. ”

Soon after, the Han army, having received an order from Yuan Zhao, let go of the boat full of the remaining Persians in the royal city and let it go.

"Yuan Gong, I don't know if the treasure they are talking about is true or false? Wouldn't it be too cheap to let them go like that? ”

Gongsun Rongnu stared at the fleeing man viciously, muttering with some dissatisfaction. It was so lonely to destroy the Persian royal city so easily, and the sword in his hand was not stained with blood!

"There must be treasure, and it's true that these people don't know exactly where...... As for whether we can find it, it depends on our own fate. Hehe! ”

"That'...... What if these fellows went to the Persian prince? ”

"That's exactly what I want them to do...... Soon after, the grass will be cut down and the evil will be punished! All Persians don't have to be in this world anymore...... ”
