395 Slash!
The Qin war against Wusun went unusually well, but their weapons and ammunition consumption was unusually serious. They were already far away from the base camp of the Qin State. Plus the use of weapon superiority to compensate for the disadvantage in troops. This makes their ammo depletion faster and faster. And their supply lines are still far behind the speed of their attacks. There is no way. They can only stop temporarily. And so on and so forth.
The offensive of the Qin army had to be stopped because of the problem of the consumption of weapons and ammunition. And a large number of people were rushing forward. There are immigrants, there are explorers, and there are security companies that go forward to explore and make a fortune. In short, such a mixed army is marching towards them. Supplies issues. will be resolved as they develop the site.
The people of Qin were busy immigrating, but Li Mu made an astonishing move.
In order to save the reputation of Zhao Jun, as well as to maintain the sense of honor of the soldiers. Li Mu invited a large number of people from Yan Kingdom. Most of them came reluctantly. In addition to the people of Yanguo, there are also reporters from Qinguo Daily. These journalists are active in the six countries of the East. They recorded everything they saw and heard. They are desperately posting scripts. Because their remuneration is tied to the manuscript. If there is a sensational manuscript, the reward is very optimistic. For this, many people are willing to join the ranks of journalists. They began to seek out subjects that everyone liked in order to cater to the masses. Like what. Western Cowboy Collection.
Li Mu reads the newspaper every day, although it is the newspaper of the Qin State, but the content in it is very rich. And it's timely. This is also his awareness of the role of newspaper media. He hoped to promote Zhao Jun's positive image through newspaper reports. This image is a painful decision. That is to admit and correct. He wanted to learn from Shang Wen's actions to save Zhao Jun.
There weren't many reporters from the Qin State who came. The main reason is that the time is too rushed, but fortunately, they are all reporters from several mainstream media, such as "Financial Express", "Huaxia Women's Daily", "Feibao" and other reporters, because they have huge human resources to collect news materials from various countries.
Li Mu's face turned pale. Because this question has bothered him for a long time. But when it came time to make up his mind, he was a little relieved. Journalists also note this detail. They felt that the general was making a difficult move.
Li Mu stood on the high platform. said to the people of Yan Country and a large number of assembled soldiers.
"To the elders of the Yan Kingdom, I, Li Mu, have something to announce here. This, this thing ・・・・・". Li Mu choked up a little. But he continued.
"This matter is, I, Li Mu's poor control, led to the heinous crimes committed by his subordinates. I admit it. Because of the food problem, they robbed the grain of the Yan country's fathers and elders, and also robbed your wives and daughters. And they killed them and cooked them. Li Mu almost trembled and finished saying this.
Li Mugang finished speaking. Yan Guoren began to scold. "Beasts, not people. You Zhao Jun deserve to die. Go to hell. Zhao Guoren. They yelled. And the soldiers of the Zhao army obviously knew about it. Some people looked at Li Mu disappreciatively. And the soldiers who were guarding the Yan people shouted loudly and reprimanded the Yan people.
"Everybody be quiet." Li Mu raised his arm and said.
Everyone was quiet for a moment.
"For all this that happened, I can only apologize to the fathers and fellow villagers of Yan Kingdom. I ask for your forgiveness. After speaking, Li Mu actually kowtowed to the fathers and elders of Yan Guo on the stage.
"General. Checkmate. "The soldiers of the Zhao army still love this general very much. Seeing their generals kneeling, they followed suit. And the people of Yan are obviously still immersed in hatred.
"Phew, damn it. It's not even as good as a dog, eating human flesh. "I'll kill you." A soldier of the Zhao army said that he wanted to raise a gun and stab.
"Stop." Li Mu raised his head and shouted.
"All Zhao Jun took a hundred steps back." Li Mu knelt down and ordered.
Zhao Jun, who was in custody, had no choice but to retreat.
"Come, bring up those who have sinned." Li Mu was still kneeling. Sima Shang wanted to step forward to help. was rejected by Li Mu.
"Whoa." A large group of black-pressed soldiers escorted a bound Zhao soldier to the clearing.
"These people are the most vicious people who rob food, plunder women, and cook their flesh. There is such a scum in my Zhao army. It was my Li Mu's mistake. Again, I, Li Mu, have made amends to all my fathers. Saying that, Li Mu kowtowed three times.
"Come on, all 3,572 of these 3,572 people will be beheaded for public display." Li Mu finished kowtowing and ordered. But he still knelt towards the people of Yan Kingdom. No one in the Yan Kingdom spoke, but watched quietly.
"General. Checkmate. I can't. They are all the elite of my Zhao army, and General Wang, who has made great contributions. You can't cut it. Many Zhao military captains knelt down and pleaded.
"Stand down. Retire. Li Mu shouted and reprimanded. All are not talking.
"Chop". Li Mu shouted loudly.
"General. You can't kill me," shouted a bound officer.
"Ahh With a scream, a soldier cried and cut off his head. The officer was also the soldier's old superior.
"Poof, poof. Burst. The soldiers cut off their knives one after another. And then there are some who don't get started. Because I really can't do it. was kicked away by the patrol officer on the side and slashed himself.
"Someone, the army is in a formation." Li Mu shouted loudly.
"Knock knock." The snare drum beats.
Five thousand Zhao Jun stood on both sides of the line with sticks. And at the end of them stood a large group of soldiers. They are not bound. It's just that I'm being watched by myself.
"These people, they're all the people who are involved. can be described as its accomplice. His capital crime can be avoided, but his living crime cannot be escaped. This army stick array, after the fate of your fate. I don't deserve it. Let's do it. Li Mu ordered.
The group of Zhao soldiers panicked, they knew that this army was so powerful that there were basically no people who could pass it, and they were all a hundred people before. Now it's a great array of five thousand. It's just deadly.
Some of the big ones began to break in, but the wails came and went. He was beaten to death with sticks. The death made these soldiers feel terrified. But the guards drove them into the batons with their spears.
The wails kept coming. The soldiers of the Zhao army who called were frightened. The corpse was dragged out continuously, and because he could not walk fifty steps, he was killed. There were so many corpses that I couldn't get by. And the people of Yan Guo looked at all this very calmly. And they saw the death of the enemies who had robbed them of their possessions, and of their wives and daughters. I was very happy.
"Well played. Kill these brutes. Yan Guoren began to vent and scolded. And the reporters of the Qin State have never seen such a large formation. Some of them have forgotten the records.
