Chapter 53: And it's easy to walk all the way
The Zhao army surrendered, and the army of 200,000 tigers and wolves, after Zhao Kuo's death, surrendered according to the number, and no one resisted.
But his eyes seemed to have lost his mind, and he had lost his lustre.
They should have died on the battlefield······
It is hard to believe that this is the terrifying remnant army that used half of the people and the Qin army to resist for forty days.
Nearly 200,000 captives were tied with their hands tied to a rope.
Like a string of connected ants, moving slowly.
"Sand, sand, sand."
The horse's hooves broke through the snow, and there was a slight grinding sound in the middle, and the snow seemed to be smaller.
In the vast snow, Gu Nan stood in front of Zhao Kuo's corpse with his spear.
is not human, he was simply shot into a hedgehog, covered in blood red, and described as withered, and he couldn't see the elegant young man when they met for the first time.
"You knew it was going to be the end."
After falling silent, he plunged his spear into the snow, digging again and again, until he had dug a pit large enough for a man and a horse.
put Zhao Kuo and his war horse inside.
Squat down and rebury the clods of soil mixed with snow with your hands.
"Smack."
Gu Nan slapped his palm and slapped the mud and snow off his hand.
The dry air was unpleasant, cold like a knife that cut the cheeks in the cheeks.
There is a small mound of earth on the flat field, which is very inconspicuous.
Gu Nan looked at the mound and chuckled.
"You're right, if this battle hadn't been fought, we might have been friends."
Saying that, Gu Nan untied the water bag on his waist and took a sip.
The freezing cold water entered his throat, and Gu Nan's throat was a little painful.
The rest of the water was poured in front of the mound.
He took a piece of dry bread from his bosom and put it there.
"I didn't finish it in the morning, I went on the road, and I ate more."
"If I don't have that time, I won't make a monument for you."
With that, Gu Nan stood up, walked to Brother Hei and turned over to his horse.
He pulled the reins and walked away slowly, never looking back.
"And it's easy to walk all the way."
——————————————
Piles of weapons were wrapped together and placed on the ground, and the soldiers of the Qin army cleaned up the battlefield.
The bonfire rose in the camp, and tonight's dinner will be more sumptuous than ever, after more than a month of entanglement, the Zhao army finally surrendered, and Zhao Kuo, the general of the Zhao army, was also directly shot by Bai Qi in front of the formation.
The Qin army can be regarded as victorious.
The captives of the Zhao army were stripped of their battle armor and trapped together with hemp ropes and escorted. He was wearing only a thin cloth coat, and many of them were frozen in the cold wind, and their lips and faces were blue.
Bai Qi and Wang Ji sat together in the tent, the flames in the brazier warm.
"Lao Bai, don't you want to go out for a walk?" Wang Yi placed the written military brief beside him and stretched his muscles: "It's finally over." ”
Bai Qi waved his hand: "I'm old, I can't walk anymore." ”
Wang Yi raised his eyebrows, "Yes, how many years have you been in the army?" I haven't felt it yet, it's old. ”
"Lao Wang, has Jun Jian come out?" Bai Qi suddenly remembered and asked.
"It's out." Wang Ji raised his chin and pointed to the bamboo slips on the side: "More than 200,000 people were lost, and 180,000 Zhao Jun Mo were captured." Disarm, armor, horses, and still sit in the statistics, and then give you a number. ”
"More than 200,000..." Bai Qi nodded, touching his beard.
"Then Zhao Kuo is really ruthless, but unfortunately, he is not ruthless enough."
If he were to fight, he would not let a single person surrender in this battle.
"There are still 400,000 Qin troops left, but only 400,000, and it is difficult to go north."
Wang Yi picked up the military slip and slowly put it down, full of helplessness: "That's the case, enemies on all sides, continue to go north, I am afraid of a big defeat." ”
Bai Qi shook his head and corrected: "It will be defeated." ”
Wang Yi was stunned for a moment, and then sighed, he knew the ability of his old friend, and he said that he would lose, but he would not win.
But it is impossible for the Qin State to give up this opportunity to go north, and if it captures Handan, the Zhao State will be finished.
"I just hope that King Qin can see it clearly."
"Don't talk about that." Wang Yi laughed, with a little nostalgia and bitterness in his laughter.
"Lao Bai, I still remember when you and I were young and vigorous, you said that you want peace in the world. Now it seems that there is no end in sight······"
Bai Qi didn't reply for a long time, and after a while, he picked up a sentence: "This is the old man's lifelong wish, that is, to risk the taboo of the world, I will go." ”
"You are still like this, everyone in the world says you are ruthless, but I don't know that you are the one with the softest heart." Wang Ji shook his head.
After hesitating for a while, he asked, "Zhao Jun, what are you going to do with the 180,000 people?" ”
180,000 ······
This time, the Zhao army sent more than 400,000 troops, and Zhao Guo was originally a small number of people, and these more than 400,000 were already young and strong men in Zhao Guo.
Bai Qi's hand touching his beard stopped there and opened his mouth.
"Divide and kill."
Wang Yi opened his mouth in shock, and there was an incomprehensible look in his eyes.
His expression sank.
"Lao Bai, deception is already the most important thing in the world, if you are killed, you are afraid that you will be pointed at by thousands of people, and spurned by thousands of people, you should really think about it..."
In ancient times, when courtesy, righteousness, honesty, loyalty, righteousness, and filial piety were valued, deception was already a violation of benevolence and righteousness, and it was punishable by all kinds of verbal and written criticism. If it is a pit killing, the whole world will discuss it, I am afraid it will be light. It's simply a matter of disregard for human morality.
"I just want to be a ······ for the world to see"
"For many years in the Warring States Period, how many people have died in the world, and who will denounce it?" Bai Qi didn't have the casual look just now, with a cold light in his eyes.
"The world should be peaceful, and Great Qin will be the prosperous era after this unification." Bai Qi closed his eyes: "Die for the peace of the world, these 180,000 people will die as they deserve." ”
He has been fighting for the Great Qin Quartet all his life, and he has not lost a single battle in more than 70 battles in his life.
Looking at the growing strength of Great Qin, the unification of the six countries may not be a matter of more than a hundred years.
But he is already dying, and it is difficult for him to earn a horse.
Killing 180,000 captives, he is only infamous in the world, but Zhao Guo, even if he does not die and the men are gone, it will be difficult to turn over within 20 years.
And twenty years later, when the Zhao State lost all its days, it was no longer possible to do anything, that is, this Northern Expedition could not destroy Zhao, and Zhao would also be destroyed.
He may have known what would happen to him after killing his captives.
But it may be his last battle.
It was also the last battle he fought for this world.
can see the collapse of this troubled world, what if he has carried all the sin and infamy in this world?
