Chapter 45: Reasons Not to Kill

The camp of the Qin army, the big tent of the Chinese army.

Wang Ling, Meng Fu, Huan Qi, Qin Yiren, Wang Qian, Huang Shigong, Wei Yi and a group of generals were present, all of them frowning and looking unhappy.

This attack on Zhao, Wang Ling they are difficult to capture Handan, with the help of Qin Yiren, in one fell swoop, seeing that Handan is about to break, Zhao is about to be destroyed, however, it is a sudden change, under the leadership of Lian Po, Zhao people killed, one by one to fight with the Qin army. The Qin army did not want to kill on a large scale, so they had to endure it again and again, and finally had to reach an armistice agreement and not attack for the time being.

Victory is just around the corner, but the Qin army is ruthless, they can't slaughter so many Zhao people, they have to deal with it like this, who would be willing? Who can be upset?

"Wang Jian has merit, let's be promoted to a thousand-commander." Wang Ling was silent for a while, and finally broke the silence.

Although Wang Jian is the future god of war and the chief general who will wipe out the Six Kingdoms in the future, he is the rising star of the Qin army and is still in the growth stage.

"Congratulations! Congratulations! ”

In this siege, Wang Qian's performance was remarkable, Wang Jian was promoted to a thousand-commander, no one objected, and everyone congratulated Wang Jian in unison.

"General Xie!" Wang Jian was also happy and busy thanking him.

As soon as Wang Qian's promotion was over, Wang Ling's brows were twisted again, and he was silent.

He didn't speak, and the generals naturally couldn't speak, all of them pursed their lips, still sulking.

For a while, there was silence in the Chinese military tent, and the atmosphere was depressing and uncomfortable.

"Tell me, what should we do now?" Wang Ling broke the silence again and asked loudly, his eyes widening as he glanced at the generals.

"Humph!" Huan Qi snorted coldly, like a thunderclap, and said hatefully: "You can't beat it, you can't kill it, you can't kill it, you can't be aggrieved!" ”

"It's so embarrassing!" This was immediately agreed by all the generals and echoed in unison.

"Fought a battle of a lifetime. I've never been so aggrieved! "Meng Fu is very unhappy. said: "It's not that we can't fight, it's not that we can't rush to kill, but we can't kill at all!" I've seen a lot of winds and waves, so I haven't been so aggrieved! ”

"Hmm!" The generals nodded their heads again, in approval.

The Qin army attacked the city, and only needed to fight for a while to capture Handan. It will not take long, at most a day or two will be able to end the battle, take full control of Handan, and destroy the Zhao State. But the Zhao people are unyielding, and they would rather die than surrender. Life and death have to stand in the way of the Qin army's advance, which makes the Qin army tied their hands and feet, and they really hate the root of their teeth. I had to endure it.

"The war is already like this, no matter how hateful it is, it is useless, you should report this matter to King Qin." Qin Yiren shook his head.

He is also unhappy, but he knows that it is useless to be unhappy, and he should face reality.

"Retribution? Belch! Wang Ling made a grinding sound from his mouth. No more on that.

Meng Fu and Huan Qi glanced at each other and pursed their lips. Stop talking.

Because they know better than anyone why this battle is happening. According to the meaning of Bai Qi. The Qin State could not attack Zhao now, and should make another plan. But King Qin Zhao's self-confidence was bursting. had to attack Zhao, and almost killed Bai Qi because of this incident. If the situation in Handan is reported, no one can say what King Qin Zhao thinks.

However, it is very likely that King Qin Zhao will blame them.

Obviously, it only takes a day or two to take Handan, why don't you attack? Why do you want a truce? You are guilty of disobedience to the king's commandment.

Wang Ling, Meng Fu and Huan Qi seemed to have seen King Qin Zhao's mouth foaming and were angrily reprimanding them.

"It's not okay if you don't report it." Qin Yiren glanced at Wang Ling.

"Hey!" Wang Ling knew that Qin Yiren was right, and it would be impossible not to report this matter, the question is, how to report this?

To put it bluntly, it will definitely cause trouble, at this time, King Qin Zhao has entered his old age, and he is no longer as shrewd as before, and he is constantly making stupid moves, and it is common to blame sinners.

If you don't say it directly, how can you say it?

It really stumped the royal tomb.

"In my opinion, this matter has to be written by the son of an alien." Meng Fu's eyes flashed, and he immediately had an idea.

"Me?" Qin Yiren was a little surprised, I just lived in the army temporarily, and I didn't even have a military position, how could I write it?

"That's right, I have to ask Childe to write it." Wang Ling reacted immediately, with a smile on his face, and said: "Inhuman son, you are the number one person in the world, if you don't write such literary and ink things, who will write them?" ”

"That's it, we are all martial artists, we didn't ask if we were fighting, and we are not good at dancing and writing, Childe, you must not refuse." Huan Qi immediately agreed.

If you want them to fight, it's absolutely fine, but if you want them to write a cantata, it's still so difficult to write a cantata, it's really difficult for them.

"If Childe doesn't write, who will? Who called Childe the number one man in the world? The generals echoed in unison.

Qin Yiren is very angry, they are really good at picking on children.

"Well, it's not that hard to write about. All it takes is three reasons to do so. Qin Yiren pondered slightly, and already had an idea.

"Which three?" Wang Ling asked hurriedly, a pair of eyes as bright as copper bells, staring at Qin Yiren.

Meng Fu, Huan Qi and a group of generals are all the same. According to their thoughts, this piece is difficult to write, but Qin Yiren thinks that it is not difficult to write, and there are three reasons, so they have to be surprised.

"The first reason is that the Zhao people are also in the Chinese lineage, even if they are Qin Zhao's mortal enemies, they can't kill on a large scale." Qin Yiren raised his eyebrows, like a sharp sword out of the sheath, and said in a high tone: "If we wantonly kill the Zhao people, it will be a crime!" We are executioners, butchers, and demons, and we will be spit on by future generations! ”

"That's right!" A chorus of echo sounded, and the generals agreed in unison.

It is precisely because the Zhao people are in the Chinese lineage that the Qin army is tied to their hands and feet, and they endure again and again, and cannot kill on a large scale. If the Qin army is not facing the Zhao people, but a foreign race, such as the Xiongnu and Donghu, don't say that there are more than 100,000 or 200,000 old and weak women and children, that is, hundreds of thousands, millions, and the Qin army will kill them.

The problem is that this is the Zhao people, a line of Huaxia, and the Qin army is not allowed to kill.

"When Gongzi defeated the Hun Condor Archers in the Colosseum, he said that whether it is the Qin people, the Zhao people, the Han people, the Wei people, the Chu people, the Qi people, or the Yan people, they are all in the same Chinese vein, and they are all brothers!" Huang Shigong nodded heavily and said, "Childe's words are extremely true!" ”

"Good! Pick! Wang Ling, they cheered loudly.

Although Qin and Zhao have been fighting for decades, they still recognize the Zhao people as a Chinese lineage and brothers. In the event of an invasion by a foreign enemy. The Qin State stood on the side of Zhao without hesitation.

When King Wuling of Zhao broke the Huns. King Qin Zhao ordered to terminate the military operation of the Qin army to attack Zhao, not to mention, but also ordered the Qin army in Jiuyuan to prepare to reinforce the Zhao army, just because they are all in the same Chinese lineage and are all brothers.

"The second reason, do you know how many people there are in Handan City?" Qin Yiren glanced at the generals and asked loudly.

"Hundreds of thousands." Huan Qi was straight-mouthed and blurted out.

"Hundreds of thousands is too vague. 200,000 is also called hundreds of thousands, 300,000 is also called hundreds of thousands, and 400,000 can still be called hundreds of thousands. Qin Yiren shook his head slightly and said, "Handan is the capital of Zhao and the core of Shandong. The crowd was no less than half a hundred thousand. ”

A city has 500,000 people, although there were not many in the Warring States period, there were still a few. For example, Xianyang, Handan, and Linzi.

"Excluding people from other countries, there are more than 400,000 people in Handan alone." Qin Yiren frowned, his face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Most of the strong people of Zhao Guo died in Changping. The Zhao people in Handan are mostly old and weak, women and children. You touch your heart. Ask your heart, and you will be ruthless. Kill all these more than 400,000 Zhao people? ”

Wang Ling and the others sighed and did not speak. A look of frustration.

They are all fierce generals on the battlefield, killing people on the battlefield, and the severed heads are not 1,000 but 800, and killing people is like mowing grass mustard for them. However, in the face of the unarmed Zhao people, they were ruthless, and had to retreat again and again, and finally formed this stalemate.

"With the fierceness of the Zhao people, if Great Qin wants to capture Handan, at least 300,000 people must be killed. Ask yourselves thy heart, if this is the case, will ye sleep? Can your conscience be at peace? Qin Yiren asked loudly.

Wang Ling shook his head fiercely, although he did not speak, his meaning was clear.

It is impossible to slaughter 300,000 people by killing them, that is not something that people can do, only demons can do such things.

"The third reason is even more important." Qin Yiren's voice was higher, a little sharp, and said: "Changping Pit killed 200,000 Zhao pawns, the world was terrified, and the land of Shandong scolded Qin as a tiger wolf, cruel and unkind, and the name of the tiger wolf of Great Qin is even more intense and even worse!" ”

"Hey!" Wang Ling, Meng Fu and Huan Qi were personally involved in the killing and surrender of Changping, although they knew that they had to be killed, but now that they think about it, they are still frightened.

"If we slaughter 300,000 unarmed old and weak women and children in Handan, the saliva of the whole world will drown us!" Qin Yiren's voice was even higher, sharp and piercing: "If you really want to do that, Daqin will lose the hearts of the people, and everyone in the world will scold Daqin for being cruel and unkind, and if Daqin wants to dominate the world, it will be difficult!" ”

Wang Ling and the others nodded heavily, agreeing with this.

Although Changping is uncomfortable, it can also comfort itself, it is the elite of Zhao State, you can't help but kill, if you don't kill, there will be endless troubles.

The Zhao people of Handan, unarmed, mostly old and weak, women and children, if they are killed, this is not something that people can do, it is a demonic act, and no one will forgive themselves.

"If this is really the case, even if we break through Handan and destroy the Zhao State, what will they think of the remaining Great Five Warring States?" Qin Yiren said in a deep voice: "The Han people, the Wei people, the Qi people, the Chu people, and the Yan people, they will definitely resist to the end, and they would rather die than give in!" ”

If the Zhao people of Handan are slaughtered, it will definitely be this kind of consequence, and there will be no other ending. In that case, the road to the unification of the Qin state would be extremely difficult, with heavy casualties.

"What Childe said is incisive and thorough!" Wang Ling praised loudly and said, "Just take what the prince said, and immediately play it to the king." ”

"What Childe said is so convincing, I think I will definitely be able to convince you." Meng Fu was very approving.

"This matter cannot only be reported to the King of Qin, but also sent a copy to the prime minister, and the prime minister must be more involved in it."

Qin Yiren knew that King Qin Zhao's time was short, and he was anxious to destroy the country. Or just play the words of King Qin Zhao, it is probably useless. If you let the wise Fan Sui maneuver around, it will definitely be done. (To be continued.) )
