Chapter 010: Those who are courtiers should bear the blame for the Lord
——
"Wu Anjun is worried about the surrender?" Ju Xin looked at Bai Qi with a smile and said. Bai Qi didn't hide it, so he nodded calmly: "These 200,000 soldiers must be dealt with quickly." Suddenly, his heart moved, and he immediately looked at Ju Xin: "Prime Minister, in the next letter, I present the king's order, I don't know if my king has allowed the Chu army to surrender?" ”
"I have a confusion in my heart, I wonder if Wu Anjun can solve my confusion first?" Jusin didn't answer, but asked rhetorically.
"Prime Minister, please speak."
"If these 200,000 soldiers are surrendered, what should Wu Anjun do?"
Bai Qi didn't know why Ju Xin had such a question, and he didn't think much about it and said: "In the past, there were only two ways to treat the soldiers, either for my use or for returning home. ”
"Is it feasible?" Jusin immediately answered.
This question stopped Bai Qi, and in the face of the prime minister's direct gaze, he was silent for a long time before he said: "The Chu people are bloody, and with 200,000 people, they are on a par with our army's combat strength, and if they are used by me, they may become a huge disaster in the future; If they return home, they will also promote the qualifications of the enemy country, and in time they will become endless troubles. ”
"Wu Anjun knows that these two methods are not feasible, why did he ask the king to accept the surrender of Chu soldiers?" Gersin asked rhetorically.
When Bai Qi heard this, he was secretly shocked in his heart, and immediately looked at Ju Xin: "Prime Minister's intention, is it my king's order to kill these 200,000 soldiers?" ”
That's a full 200,000, and Bai Qi suddenly felt heavy.
"Definitely!" Jusin shook his head slowly.
"That ......" Bai Qi wanted to speak and stopped, and after a while, Ju Xin said: "On the contrary, my king is quasi-surrendered, and he is not hiding it, but he is stopping my king's intentions." As soon as these words came out, Bai Qi looked at him incredulously: "Prime Minister, you...... This is 200,000 soldiers, what does the prime minister plan to deal with? ”
"Kill—" Jusin said succinctly. Suddenly, the air around him seemed to freeze at this moment. After a short period of silence, Ju Xin continued: "Wu Anjun, I know that killing 200,000 soldiers is not a trivial matter. But if I don't kill them, these 200,000 soldiers will not be able to be used by me, so there is only one way to return home, and within three or five years, I will return to the enemy's soldiers, and even if I don't go out again, I will marry a wife, have children, and multiply. If you kill it, you can weaken the national strength of Chu, and the number of men over the age of 16 in the Chu State will be sharply reduced by seventy, so that if you don't fight, the national strength of the Chu State will be weakened, and the national fortune will be destroyed, and it will naturally be impossible to compete with our country in the future. ”
Bai Qi understood what he meant, and the right prime minister's intention was that killing him would be beneficial to the country.
Ju Xin added: "Destroying the fortune of the Chu country, isn't this exactly what Wu Anjun wants?" ”
Bai Qi was solemn and silent, sitting motionless with his eyebrows twisted, obviously hesitating, Ju Xin saw this and said: "Wu Anjun, my king has allowed Wu Anjun to attack the land of Yan Ying, if he is sent home, these soldiers will be forcibly recruited by the state of Chu and guarded Yan Ying, such a merciful act of treating the enemy is indeed cruel to the soldiers of our army." If they are detained, they must be fed and guarded by heavy soldiers to prevent chaos. ”
"These 200,000 soldiers must be killed." Ju Xin said very firmly, Bai Qi still didn't say a word, Ju Xin continued: "As far as the country is concerned, it must be killed; As far as Wu Anjun is concerned, he must be killed. ”
"There is no precedent for indiscriminate killing." Bai Qi, who bowed his head and was silent, suddenly raised his eyes to look at Ju Xin, and said.
"Wu Anjun, with all due respect, these 200,000 soldiers were killed by you, and it was also for your own good." Gusin said.
"Under the stupidity, what does the prime minister mean by this?" Bai Qi said suspiciously.
Ju Xin smiled, and after a while, he said faintly: "Wu Anjun, these soldiers are killed by you to avoid being suspected of 'raising self-respect'." If you kill him, not only can you avoid gossip in the future, but it will be unfavorable to Wu Anjun, on the contrary, it is you Wu Anjun who is loyal to the country and willing to bear the infamy of killing the people for the Lord, so who else will dare to say that Wu Anjun is not in the future? Those of us who are courtiers should take the initiative to take the blame for the Lord, what does Wu Anjun think? ”
At the end, Ju Xin looked at Bai Qi without saying a word, everything that should be said was said, he believed that the other party had understood, the latter stood up silently, and walked to the sword platform, the sword stand was placed on the sword platform is the ancient sword of Chiyou, and immediately took the sword, held the scabbard and pulled out the ancient sword, for a while, Bai Qi looked at his face reflected in the sword, staring at the eyes in the sword.
"Bai Qi understands!"
Ju Xin looked at the other party's back, and saw Bai Qi standing motionless, did not turn around, and then said calmly: "Please Prime Minister Bai Qi to transfer it to my king, Bai Qi made a good decision to kill 200,000 Chu soldiers, wait for the ministers to break through Yan Ying, return to Chaoge and then ask my king for guilt!" ”
Ju Xin left with peace of mind, Bai Qi was still motionless, staring at the face reflected in the Chiyou Ancient Sword, he couldn't help but recall the scene twenty years ago, when he was still in Qin County, when his father took the fierce soldier in his hand and handed it to his hand, he said a word: Chiyou Ancient Sword, a peerless killer, if you don't come out, you can't stop, but if you are born, you must drink millions of blood to stop......
The ancient sword "Zheng" entered the sheath again, and Bai Qi sighed leisurely in his heart, and he was speechless for a while. An hour later, a group of generals were summoned to the tent to discuss the army, and when he told the decision to kill 200,000 soldiers, all the generals in the tent were in an uproar.
"Do you have any complaints?" Bai Qi on the seat looked around at the silent generals and said.
After a long time, Mu Han came out and bowed: "The last general, but by the order of the general." ”
At the end, the generals gave up their hands one after another: "We are all willing to obey the orders of the general!" ”
200,000 Chu army soldiers gathered in Juchao to be detained, these Chu people have surrendered for five days, although there is food for a moment, but many people are waiting in great anticipation, and they are also discussing how to deal with them in the Wei Congress, either return to Chu or surrender to Wei, for these soldiers, no matter what kind of disposal can live, plus there is food and drink in the army, but it will not be bad, so they have to wait for the fall.
However, they never expected that it was the Grim Reaper's call on the Yellow Springs Road that was coming.
At night, Bai Qi left the main camp with Wei Yi and came to the prisoner of war camp where the soldiers of Chu State surrendered, and Wei Yi beside him couldn't help but ask: "General, the swords, crossbows, spears and halberds in the column have been distributed, and the army has also been put in place, and all the soldiers and soldiers are waiting for the general's order at any time." ”
"At 03:45, let's do it." Bai Qi said calmly.
