Attacking the city with fire is a thing that hurts the heavens and reason, and it hurts the heavens and the peace.

But it is also an important means to win more with less, and it is also Hu Hai's only choice.

After all, the survival of the Great Qin Empire was more important than harming the heavens and the peace.

Even if he killed all the people of Handan, there were not as many people who died in this troubled era.

Sometimes when people are killed, they are also to save people. As for the killed, it can only be said that they were unlucky.

Therefore, Hu Hai would rather bear the infamy of the ages, but also save the people of a city and save the Great Qin Empire once.

After all, he is the Lord of Great Qin, and he needs to be responsible for the safety of the lives of thousands of people in the Great Qin Empire.

It's his birthright responsibility!

......

Under the order of Emperor Qin, the black ice platform hidden in advance and 30,000 iron cavalry quickly assembled and formed an encirclement of Ye County.

When Qin Jun appeared in front of Ye County as if he had been born out of nowhere, Zhao Jun panicked all of a sudden.

"Your Majesty, do you want to attack immediately?" The deputy general's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he said to Hu Hai.

"Shout to the opposite Zhao army, those who surrender will not be killed, if they refuse to surrender, after the city is broken, the chickens and dogs will not be left, I will slaughter the city to warn the world!"

Hu Hai knew that there were only 3,000 defenders in Ye County on the opposite side, and the disparity in strength between the enemy and us was enough to fight in one battle.

Moreover, slaughtering the city, Hu Hai did have such thoughts, after all, the Great Qin Empire was too gentle in the process of quelling the rebellion.

In troubled times, this is the law of the ages, and Hu Hai is not strong enough to crush the law.

Only a hearty victory, only a shocking slaughter, can make the people of the world fear the Great Qin Empire.

In the Book of Shang Jun, it is recorded that there are five techniques for controlling the people, which is the imperial technique of the superior to govern the country and rule the people of the world.

Hu Hai has always been the heir of the Legalist family, and he is very proficient in the art of the Legalist.

"Yes——!"

Nodding in agreement, the adjutant general raised his sword, shouted, and said: "Your Majesty has an order: shout to Ye County: those who surrender will not be killed, and those who refuse to surrender will be slaughtered——! ”

"Listen to the other side: those who surrender will not kill, refuse to surrender, and the chickens and dogs will not be left ——! after the city is broken"

The 30,000 troops shouted in unison, and the momentum was magnificent, which made the face of the county commander of Ye County suddenly become ugly.

He knew in his heart that now that the Qin army appeared in Ye County, it meant that the Zhao State was finished.

Hengren was just a small person, he had no idea of accompanying Zhao Guo to the funeral, so that at this time, when the Qin army was approaching strongly, his heart wavered.

In the end, how to be good, this makes Hengyuan's head big, at this time, on the one hand, he is loyal and patriotic, and on the other hand, he is worth his life.

The balance was still in balance at the beginning, but as time went by, it gradually shifted in favor of the net worth.

In the troubled times, no one does not want to live, in the troubled times, but it is the time when the small people are promoted to fight and are extremely eager for survival.

"County order, our army only has 3,000 old, weak, sick and disabled, and Handan is far away, at this moment the Qin army is coming to the city, what should we do?"

At this moment, not only the county commander does not have the heart to fight, but even the county lieutenant is the same.

No one is still fearless of death when they know that they will die.

"County Captain, with the current situation, how likely do you think it is that our army will hold Ye County without losing?"

Hengyuan knew that whether he held on or surrendered, he and the county lieutenant needed to work together.

Therefore, the thought in his heart turned, and he was testing the county lieutenant's thoughts.

"Lord Yuxian Ling, although the Qin army is only a cavalry, the number of them far exceeds that of our army!"

"This battle is not whether our army can hold it, but when our army can hold it and when it will lose to the Qin army!"

Looking at the mighty army outside the city, the county lieutenant knew that this battle was simply an egg hitting a stone.

In his mind, there was no need for this battle at all.

"Come on, go and find out the morale of the army, and see how many people want to fight to the death to surround Yecheng!"

The county commander knew in his heart that no matter how he surrendered, he still had to do what he should do.

"Yui."

.......

After half a ring, the county lieutenant came over, his face was ugly, but there was a hint of joy in the depths of his eyes.

"The county order, nine times out of ten, the army is unwilling to fight to the death with the Qin army, we have no hope at all, please make a decision by the county order!"

The county commander knew in his heart that among the three thousand old, weak, sick and disabled, almost all of them were natives of Ye County.

As soon as he heard that the Qin army would slaughter the city after the city was broken, he naturally did not have the slightest idea of resistance.

After all, no one is a fool who knows that he will die, and he still wants to send him to die.

"Whew.....!"

The county commander and the county lieutenant glanced at each other, and the two of them nodded and said, "Open the city gate and welcome the king!" ”

"Yui!"

Nodding in agreement, the three thousand soldiers actually let out a cheer at this moment, making Hengyuan's face suddenly ugly.

In the end, it was how unbearable the rule of the Zhao State was, which made the soldiers cheer because of the surrender.

.......

"Your Majesty, a white flag is hung on the city wall, and the Zhao army wants to surrender!" A flash of joy flashed in the eyes of the deputy general, and he said to Hu Hai.

At this time, no one didn't want to go down without a fight, and due to Hu Hai's reforms, the Great Qin Empire had broken the city in addition to beheading and remembering merit.

Therefore, although the Qin army at this time was still the largest of all the armies in the Central Plains.

But compared to the time of the first emperor, there is still some restraint.

"Command the army into the city, guard the four gates, and ensure safety, and then I will enter the city again——!"

Watching the city gate open, Hu Hai was silent for a while before making a decision.

Alone in the army, Hu Hai knew that his safety was the greatest mission of this army.

Therefore, whether it is for the sake of the Great Qin Empire or for oneself, absolute security must be guaranteed.

"Yes——!"

The deputy general naturally knows that the safety of Emperor Qin is the top priority, and only in this way can this attack on Zhao be considered a success.

......

"Rumble......!"

After a while, Hengyuan came out with a group of people and 3,000 troops to greet Emperor Huhai of Qin.

Hengyuan knew that if the three thousand troops did not come out to greet them, it would inevitably arouse the suspicion of the Qin army, and since they had surrendered, they would do it thoroughly.

"Ye County Order, Hengyuan has seen Your Majesty'——!" At this moment, Hengyuan's attitude is extremely respectful.

Because he knew that people had to bow their heads under the eaves, and at this moment Emperor Hu Hai of Qin decided his life and death.

"I've seen Your Majesty ——!" At the same time, the county lieutenant and others also bowed solemnly to Hu Hai and said.

"Haha......!"

Laughing, Emperor Qin stretched out his hand to everyone and said, "You Aiqing abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and you will inevitably rise to the top!" ”

"Adjutant General, take over the three thousand army and enter the city at the same time!"

"Yes——!"

......

At this time, Hu Hai was still very cautious, he knew that the land of Yan Zhao had many strong men since ancient times, and it was a place with a strong ranger atmosphere.

An assassination here is not necessarily impossible.
