Chapter 338: Doubts

Crushing, this is a crushing battle with no suspense at all.

Under the attack of the Great Qin Ruishi, the rebels had no decent resistance at all.

Ascend the city walls first.

Thousands of soldiers then fought all the way from the city wall to the city gate, and opened the city gate, and even the siege vehicles were not used, and the west gate of Liyi City was broken.

Subsequently, more than 60,000 soldiers rushed into Liyi City.

Liyi City is in turmoil.

At this time, there were very few rebels left, and Zhao Fei, the leader of the traitors guarding the west gate, had already seen that something was wrong, and had already abandoned the city gate and fled.

Be that as it may.

But this is just the beginning for Liyi City.

Liyi City is full of rebel hills, guarding the courtyard of the city and threatening not to build, which needs to be pacified one by one.

However, this is already a matter of catching turtles in the urn.

With Wang Ben's order to seize the remaining three city gates and completely block Liyi City, there is no suspense about the rebellion in Liyi City.

The fight did not stop in the middle of the night.

The Great Qin soldiers swept the rebels in the entire Liyi City, and countless traitors died.

And in the midst of this fight.

The sky gradually brightened.

Yingcheng, who woke up, smelled the smell of blood in the air, and couldn't help frowning.

More than ten miles away, you can even smell the smell of blood coming from the direction of Liyi City, and it is hard to imagine what has become of Liyi City.

But.

Yingcheng didn't ask too much.

After learning that Wang Ben had pacified the traitors in Liyi City, Yingcheng washed his face and brushed his teeth to eat according to his habit, and then asked about the situation in Liyi City.

But.

At this time, Wang Ben, Yingtian, Meng Ke and other generals had not yet returned from Liyi City, Xique had not entered the city, and they did not know what the situation of Liyi City was now.

And just when Yingcheng's inquiry was fruitless, a hurried sound of horses' hooves came, "Report, Your Majesty, General Wang Ben has completely pacified Liyi City, and welcomes Your Majesty to Liyi City."

"Hard work, ten gold rewards, go rest!" Yingcheng's heart can be regarded as completely grounded, and he immediately said: "Pass on my military order, and the whole army will enter the city."

The closer he got to Liyi City, the heavier Yingcheng's heart became.

The smell of blood coming from Liyi City was like entering a slaughterhouse where no measures had been taken at this time, and the strong smell of blood was pungent, and it was a little difficult to breathe.

Unthinkable.

More than ten miles away, in less than half an hour, Yingcheng came to the gate of Liyi City.

And at this time.

Wang Ben, Yingtian, Meng Ke and other generals were also waiting quietly outside the city gate, and when they saw Yingcheng appear, they knelt down on one knee and said, "The last general will see Your Majesty."

"Liyi City has been pacified, welcome Your Majesty into the city."

Yingcheng urged him to step forward and said in a shocking voice, "The generals have worked hard, so you don't need to be polite."

"This time to quell the rebellion in Liyi, I will definitely reward my meritorious deeds!"

It can be seen that after a night of fighting, whether it is Wang Ben, who is slightly older, or Yingtian, who is young and strong, they all look tired, but after hearing Yingcheng's words, they all quickly thanked him and said, "Your Majesty, these are what the last general should do!"

Yingcheng nodded, no longer paused, and urged the horse to slowly enter Liyi City.

There was no welcome from the people, and there were no idle people, and everywhere I looked, there were corpses and Great Qin soldiers everywhere.

It's just that.

Although he had repeatedly prepared in his heart before entering the city, after actually entering the city, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

This night.

Too many people have died.

As far as the eye can see.

The gate of the city is like a Jingguan, and all you can see is corpses stacked on top of each other, and a blood-red stream flows down the drainage ditch to the low-lying place, converging into a lake of blood.

Yingcheng didn't ask how the battle damage was, what the results were, and was waiting for Wang Ben's battle report.

But it's clear.

At this time, there was no battle report, and the night of chaotic fighting had just ended, and the soldiers who had experienced a night of fighting did not rest before they began to clean up the battlefield.

This takes quite a bit of time to process.

"The corpses in the city should be disposed of and buried as soon as possible, and these blood stains should be clear and clean as soon as possible!"

"At the same time, sprinkle lime and ash to prevent the plague."

Yingcheng added, although it was nonsense, he still emphasized it once.

The plague that followed the war was the real horror.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the last general has ordered someone to clean up." Wang Ben quickly replied: "It's just that the last general asks Your Majesty to give an order that within seven days, from Liyi City to Weishuikou to the Yellow River Pass Fenglingdu, the people in this downstream section should not use the water of the Yellow River."

Yingcheng frowned and looked at Wang Ben, slightly puzzled.

Wang Ben took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, the blood in the drainage pond of Liyi City can already float corpses, and these blood waters are already rolling towards Weishui like a river of blood."

"Gollum!" Yingcheng couldn't help but swallow his saliva and asked in surprise, "Exactly, how many people died?"

Wang Ben replied in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the last general has ordered, the sword is not blunt, keep killing, everything you see is beheaded, you will not accept surrender, hundreds of thousands of prisoners, and what is left can be counted."

"For three days of slaughter, the city of Liyi will be slaughtered, until there are no living people, men, women, and children."

Yingcheng swallowed the cool air, and said in shock: "Stop, gather the soldiers, clean up the battlefield, rest for a day, and return to the court."

But before Yingcheng's voice fell, Wang Ben replied fiercely: "Your Majesty, the last general is brave and can't stop, slaughtering the city for three days, it is Your Majesty's military order, the soldiers are angry and attack the city, the reason why they can break through Liyi City in such a short time is because the traitors insult my Qin generals, and the soldiers don't care about the life and death of the siege."

"Moreover, our army has slaughtered the city for one night, and all the traitors in this city have died, if we stop at this time, I am afraid that the people who remain will also have a deep hatred for our Qin State, and these people will become anti-Qin people sooner or later."

"Stopping at this time will only leave you with disaster."

Yingcheng was slightly stunned, stopped, and his eyes scanned the recognizable buildings in the city and the corpses everywhere, and he couldn't help but jump in shock.

"Go on!" Finally, Yingcheng sighed, no longer stopped this, and then asked, "What about the traitor leader Zhao Fei

?」

"The slaughter of the city was ordered by the last general!" Wang Ben said resolutely, but replied strangely: "Your Majesty, this is what the last general is puzzled about, after entering the city last night, the last general went straight to Liyi Cang."

"The defense of the Liyi warehouse is not strong, and it quickly broke through the Liyi warehouse, and the loss of food in the warehouse is not large, but this Zhao Fei, seeing that something is wrong, actually hanged himself."

"The last general has repeatedly determined that the person who hanged himself is indeed Zhao Fei."

"The last general guessed that it should be that this Zhao Fei knew that he was guilty of a lot of crimes, and being captured alive would definitely be the end of the five horses, so he chose to hang himself."

Hear the words.

Yingcheng's brows were also tightly locked, and he asked in surprise, "Hanged yourself?"

"Didn't the Liyi warehouse burn down?"

The Liyi warehouse was occupied by traitors, and he didn't have much hope for the Liyi warehouse, but he really didn't expect that the Liyi warehouse was still preserved.

"Except for the hundreds of thousands of stone grains that Zhao Fei took to win people's hearts, the Liyi warehouse had no other losses and was intact, but the last general accidentally burned a warehouse when he attacked the Liyi warehouse." Wang Ben also replied strangely: "The last general is also strange, even if the last general is fast, if Zhao Fei wants to burn down the Liyi warehouse, there will be enough time."

"But fortunately, the Liyi Warehouse has been preserved intact, and the Lishan side can indeed solve the difficulty of grain and grass, which is indeed a great blessing for my Great Qin."

Yingcheng frowned and asked, "Have you captured the other rebel leaders alive?"

Wang Ben replied, "Except for a few traitor leaders who were killed in the chaos, the rest were captured alive."

Yingcheng, who should have been happy, didn't know how to be happy after hearing about the situation in the city, but he couldn't be happy, "Take me forward."

"In addition, General Xique, you personally go to the city to interrogate the surviving traitors, and after the rebels launched a rebellion, you will understand everything that happened in the city clearly, and you must not miss it."

Although Xi Que frowned when he heard this, he didn't know why, but he still received the order: "The last general will obey the order!"

"It's just Your Majesty, the last general is puzzled, now that Liyi City has been pacified, and the Liyi rebellion has passed through the imperial court and has a detailed understanding, is it possible, what else is hidden in this?"

Xique expressed everyone's doubts.

Wang Ben, Yingtian, and Meng Ke were all puzzled, and they didn't understand why the second emperor was not only not happy, but his face was solemn.

"Perhaps, this Liyi rebellion is not as simple as it seems, but, I am not sure, but if it is as I think, the imperial court this time, I am afraid that it will fall into Zhao Gao's calculations." Yingcheng shook his head, this was just his conjecture, and it could only be a conjecture.

Hearing the Second Emperor's explanation, Wang Ben directly asked in confusion: "Your Majesty, isn't Zhao Gao already dead, and the Liyi Rebellion died after Zhao Gao!"

Yingtian couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, is there any hidden truth in this, now that Liyi City has been pacified, nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses have gathered in Liyi City, even if there is still a hidden secret, it can't make any big waves."

The crowd will be puzzled.

Yingcheng thought for a moment, but still said his worries.

"Zhong Kehuai, people have many words, and they can also be feared!"

"This man's words are terrible, and his heart is terrible!"

"If I think about it, Zhao Fei is not a stupid person who was able to occupy the most important Liyi warehouse at the first time during the chaos in Liyi City."

"I thought, as long as a slightly smarter person knows that there are many traitors in the city, and they can't be condensed into a single force, in the face of the attack of my Great Qin soldiers, it is impossible to hold it, and if you are a bystander, you can only delay the time for our army to attack."

"However, that Zhao Fei made a move that completely angered my Great Qin soldiers, and hung General Panpan naked outside the city, which is obviously an act of anger and unreasonable, our army saw this scene, whether it was General Ying, General Wang, or me, they were all furious, and they couldn't wait to swallow Zhao Fei alive."

"And this is bound to burn this anger on all traitors."

"If there is an ambush in the city, this may be understandable, but after the city is broken, the generals put down the rebellion and have nothing to stop it

The warehouse was intact, but Zhao Fei hanged himself."

"It's like, to give me a feeling that Zhao Fei deliberately provoked our army to attack the city with Pang Pan, and even planned to be broken into the city by our army."

"And the purpose of this is that our army will slaughter the city in anger and slaughter the prisoners in the city."

Seeing the Second Emperor pause, Wang Ben couldn't help but wonder: "But this, the Liyi Rebellion was quickly pacified, and in just a few days, this also met the expectations of the imperial court, and the Liyi Rebellion did not spread, and it shocked the world."

Yingcheng shook his head and said, "But in the same way, if the news of such a city slaughter that hurts the heavens and harmony spreads and is widely spread by the people of the world, my Great Qin will already have a reputation for tyrannical Qin in the hearts of the people of the world."

"At this time, the city is slaughtered, and such news can be spread to everyone without even deliberately guiding."

"This move can indeed deter Xiaoxiao, but it is also chilling to the hearts of the people of the world, and once again deepens the thoughts of the people of the world about the tyranny of the Qin State."

"This!" Listening to Yingcheng's explanation, Wang Ben was still puzzled and said: "Your Majesty, the last general is still puzzled, quelling the rebellion is already on the opposite side of the rebellion against the anti-Qin people, and if there is chaos, it is natural to pacify it.

Yingcheng didn't want to explain anymore, he and Wang Ben didn't think about the problem in the same way.

Or maybe his conjecture isn't true,

"The human heart is unpredictable, the words of the people are terrifying, and the mouths of the people are gold!" It's Yingtian, after hearing Yingcheng's explanation, his brows can't help but lock.

"If it is really as Your Majesty said, then the means in this are too terrible, the so-called siege of the city is the bottom, the attack of the heart is the top, and the 100,000 prisoners in Liyi are used to disturb the hearts of the people of the world, such a method is too clever."

"The last general thinks about it carefully, the Liyi rebellion itself is extremely unreasonable, even if there is chaos in Guanzhong, it is impossible for there to be a successful rebellion of thieves, my Qin State has been operating in Guanzhong for hundreds of years, even if my Qin State has no troops available, the people of Guanzhong will stand up at the critical moment and kill the thieves."

"The Liyi Rebellion is obviously a long-planned rebellion with the help of the assassination of the former emperor, but it was chosen in Liyi City, where prisoners live, and it is indeed strange!"
