"Zixu, the widow can't let you prevent the disaster for the widow. There are hundreds of thousands of corpses in Zhongshan Kingdom, and after all, it is not what the widow wants. Qingji sighed and said, "Besides, you are too old to stand the toss." How can you bear to be outnumbered? ”

"My lord, do you know how old the minister is?" Wu Zixu asked.

"If I'm not mistaken, you're ...... this year Gui Geng is seventy-eight. Hearing this, Wu Zixu nodded very movingly, and said: "The king can remember the age of the minister, and the minister is very honored." The king, at this age, there are not many years to live. ”

"The minister remembers that the king once said that a soldier should be proud of the horse leather shroud."

"The minister thinks so, as the great Sima of Wu Guo, dying on the sickbed is a shame for the minister, a great shame." "Right now, there is only one Zhongshan country missing, and the king will be able to encompass the universe, dominate the world, and establish a great cause of the past and the present.

This is the last battle of the Great Unification War, please let the king let his ministers serve......"

"In this way, the minister died in this battle, and he has no regrets, no regrets!" Faced with Wu Zixu's request, Qingji couldn't help but close his eyes, and his heart was very heavy.

A seventy-eight-year-old man with gray hair finally wants to contribute his own efforts to Qingji, how can Qingji not be moved?

"Zixu, isn't it good for you to stay in Xianyang and enjoy your old age in peace?"

"Nope. O king, this is not a courtier's man. Wu Zixu shook his head and said, "King, you know Wu Zixu, just as Wu Zixu understands the king." ”

"The king, although the minister is old, his body is still quite strong. Don't the king know that the minister can still fight rice and ten catties of meat, and be put on a horse by armor! "The soldiers are old, can they still eat?

Wu Zixu: Are you sure you're not bragging? Qingji knows that Wu Zixu eats a lot, but if he eats a bucket of rice, ten catties of meat, and can put on armor and get on a horse, isn't this?

You can't even do it!

"If the king doesn't believe it, he can order people to prepare, and the ministers will not dare to bully the king."

"Don't." Qingji waved his hand, for fear that Wu Zixu would be angry and then kill himself.

"Great King, the minister is the Great Sima, the last battle of the great unification, how can there be no self?"

"That's fine." Qingji finally relented.

"Zixu, the widow can let you be a general and pacify Zhongshan Kingdom. However, this policy of pacifying Zhongshan should be changed and a two-pronged approach. ”

"How do you do both?" Wu Zixu asked puzzled.

"The widow has thought about it a long time ago. Treat Zhongshan people ruthlessly, but you can't blindly kill. Qingji said earnestly: "After you take office, in order to deal with Zhongshan Rong, who is fighting guerrillas in the mountains, you will set fire to the mountains and poison the rivers as you choose." ”

"If there are rebellious Zhongshan people who dare to riot and hurt people, you can also let the soldiers cut off first, and it doesn't hurt to kill. But there is one thing - restraint. ”

"In a household, one person in a household rebelled, and the whole family was killed."

"In one village, there was a rebellion, and the whole village was slaughtered."

"However, the widow will send people to follow up and move all the hundreds of thousands of Zhongshan people to the areas of Longxi County and Shu County to reclaim and garrison the border. So if you let it go, the widow will support you unconditionally behind your back. ”

"Thank you, King!" With Qingji's strong support, Wu Zixu was relieved. As the king of a country, if you don't know how to delegate power, grasp the measure, and do things ruthlessly enough, Qingji will not be able to achieve the great cause of unification.

"It's just...... Wang, is it too expensive to move hundreds of thousands of Zhongshan people to Longxi County and Shu County? Moreover, in the future, won't the land of Zhongshan become a sparsely populated 'white land'? Wu Zixu raised his own questions.

"It's only temporary." Qingji said slowly: "At present, all industries in the country are waiting to be developed, and it is difficult for widows to move Li Shu to Zhongshan to settle down. ”

"If the army goes out of the fortress in the future, maybe you can catch some Hulu and settle them in the hometown of Zhongshan." Hearing this, Wu Zixu learned about Qingji's good intentions.

The next day, Qingji worshiped Wu Zixu as a general and went to Zhongshan to take office, and the original general Tian Sui Tho was changed to a deputy general to assist Wu Zixu to pacify Zhongshan together.

…… The autumn breeze is blowing. In the area of the Xianyu River, tens of thousands of Zhongshan people were driven by Wu soldiers like cattle and sheep.

These Zhongshan people are basically old and weak, women and children, and there are few strong men.

"Go fast!"

"Let's go!"

"Look at what, look!" As long as the expelled Zhongshan people were slightly dissatisfied, the Wu soldiers who were in charge of supervising them would be scolded at least and punched and kicked at worst.

The Zhongshan people who were abused in this way were very unconvinced, but they were forced to be intimidated by the wolf-like Wu soldiers, so they could only swallow their anger and keep walking towards the west.

"Boom!" At this time, a sound of horses' hooves sounded in the distance, like thunder.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”

"Quick! Formation! The soldiers of the Wu army, who were in charge of guarding the periphery, immediately formed a huge phalanx and waited for it.

The one who came to attack the Wu army was Zhongshan Rong, who was originally hiding in Taihang Mountain. I saw that they were riding high-headed horses at this time, galloping all the way, like a rolling torrent, and rushed out of control to the Wu army array in front.

As the general of this Wu army, Gongzixi had a sneer on the corner of his mouth, waved his hand, and said, "Put all the Zhongshan people in front of the formation!" ”

"No!" Wu Jun has always been a prohibition. Although Gongzixi's military order is a bit cruel, they will follow it.

After a while, thousands of the old, weak, women and children of Zhongshan Kingdom, who had planned to escape, were driven to the front of the Wu army's array.

Wu Jun actually used these old and weak women and children as shields? Vile! In this regard, the soldiers of the Zhongshan Army were very angry, but they were helpless.

"Phew—"

"Stop Marching!" The cavalry of the Zhongshan army hurriedly reined in the reins of the war horse and stopped the momentum of continuing to attack the Wu army's array.

The halt of this charge was a great blow to the morale of the Zhongshan army. Taking advantage of this time, Gongzixi waved his hand again and said, "Arrow array!" Dequeue! ”

"Kachacha ......" Wu Jun's crossbowmen formed a tight phalanx, stepped on the crossbows, set up arrows on the crossbows, and aimed at the enemy on the opposite side, with Gongzixi's order, suddenly dense crossbow arrows, like a storm, shot towards the Zhongshan people on the opposite side.

"Poof!"

"Ahh Screams, scolding, horses' hooves, and so on, all kinds of sounds mingled. The officers and men of the Zhongshan Army, who were originally quite orderly, suddenly became a mess.

The oncoming crossbow arrows are extremely penetrating and have a long range. A wave of crossbow arrows shot down indiscriminately, not only the soldiers, but even those old and weak women and children were brutally shot by Wu Jun.

For a time, the mourning was all over the field, and the screams were endless.

"Wind! Gale! Wind, gale! "Behind the Zhongshan Army, on the horizon, a large wave of crimson suddenly appeared.

With the earth-shattering sound of horses' hooves, thousands of riders. Tens of thousands of Wu troops suddenly swarmed in.

"Retreat!"

"Withdraw!"

"Run!" The Zhongshan army, which was surrounded by the enemy on its belly and back, could only passively start fighting, but it was not the opponent of the Wu army's sharp soldiers at all.

"Kill!" The soldiers of the Wu army, who had been holding their breath for a long time, rushed over uncontrollably like a flood that opened the floodgates, rushing left and right to kill, and all the young and middle-aged men of Zhongshan Kingdom, whether they were soldiers or not, were slaughtered by the Wu army.

On the banks of the endless Xianyu River, corpses were everywhere, and even the river water was stained red with blood.
