Chapter 58: The Theory of Volunteers

At the head of Wuyang City, the black banner hunted and moved in the wind.

The Qin army outside the city began to enter the city in an orderly manner.

Zhao Tuo's headquarters was located in the rear, and when they entered the city, they saw a scene of submission.

The resisting Yan warriors have all been killed, and those who are left are the surrenderers who surrendered at the last moment.

They were swept away from their blades, stripped of their armor, like livestock, tied to ropes, and driven into the places where the captives were held.

On both sides of the street, there were many Yan people in the houses looking out from the house, and they looked at the Qin army marching on the street with trepidation, not knowing what fate awaited them.

"Tsk, there are so many people, why did they surrender. If you let Naigong cut one, you can immediately change from a public priest to a top worker. ”

The black buttocks licked her lips regretfully, and her eyes kept looking at the heads that popped out of the doors.

"Black ass, you can talk nonsense. There is a saying in military law, killing good and risking merit, and heavy punishment will not be slackened. If you do that, it doesn't matter if you lose your head, but don't bother us. When Xi Qigu heard this, he hurriedly warned him.

Xiaobai also shouted: "If you dare to do this, I will immediately sue for rape!" ”

"Yes, yes, report you!"

Everyone in the tun stared at the black buttocks together, and the eyes made him hairy.

The black buttocks sneered: "I'm playing with my second and third sons, don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously." My black buttocks are a good public servant who strictly abides by military discipline, how can I do such a thing, and play it, play it. ”

Zhao Tuo glared at this guy fiercely, he didn't expect that the most murderous person among the people in Gengshi was this black ass, and he didn't want anything else all day long, so he thought about how to kill people and escalate.

If the black buttocks really did something to kill the good and risky things, Zhao Tuo would not be able to protect him, and he would even have to sue the official.

Because Qin's law is very strict, if one person violates the law, Shiwu will be guilty of the same crime.

As the head of the tun, Zhao Tuo will be implicated in the black buttocks, the so-called "those who know that people break the law and do not raise their excuses", this is a serious crime of dereliction of duty, not only will he be sentenced, but the title that Zhao Tuo has worked so hard to win will definitely not be able to keep.

And Zhao Tuo has his own principles.

He can cut off the head of the Yan army on the battlefield without any scruples, because the battlefield fights, each for his master.

But killing ordinary people and using their heads to pass off merit is something that Zhao Tuo will never do.

If people have no bottom line and kill innocents indiscriminately for the sake of military merits, then they are not far from degenerating.

Zhao Tuo, in his previous life, was also a commoner.

Fortunately, the Qin army should be regarded as the most disciplined army in this era.

The armies of Wei, Chu, Qi, and Yan may have broken through the city, and the generals plundered gold, silver, and jewelry, and their subordinates committed adultery and plunder, all kinds of evil.

But the Qin army could never do this.

Qin Wangzheng's predecessor, Xiangbang LΓΌ Buwei, once put forward the "Theory of Righteous Soldiers".

When calling on the Qin army to attack the city, "do not abuse the grain, do not dig graves, do not cut down trees, do not burn accumulation, do not burn houses, do not take six animals, and get the people to serve and return to them, so as to show their likes and dislikes; Faith and the people, in order to seize the enemy's capital. ”

From that time on, the Qin army gradually changed its original barbaric style, and the various massacres in the Zhaoxiang era were gradually unheard of.

Although LΓΌ Buwei was implicated in the affair, was dismissed, and committed suicide, his ideas were not abandoned.

The current ruler of the Bangwei Mansion, Wei Yu, is a supporter of the theory of righteous soldiers, and he has carried forward the theory of righteous soldiers on the basis of LΓΌ Buwei.

"No soldier shall attack a city that is indefatigable, nor shall he slay no one who is innocent. The brother who kills the husband, the loan of the beneficiary, and the children of the concubine are all thieves. Therefore, the soldiers are punished for rioting, and injustice is forbidden. The soldiers are added, the farmers do not leave their fields, Jia does not leave their houses, and the scholars do not leave their official mansions. ”

The ridiculous contrast is here, the six kingdoms of Shandong call Qin a violent Qin, and the Qin army is the army of tigers and wolves. But this tyrannical Qin did not carry out a massacre against the common people of Qianshou in the war of annexation of the Six Kingdoms, and the Qin army was still the first to merit, but only killed the soldiers who resisted on the battlefield, and for ordinary people, as long as they obeyed, they were all spared.

Even, when the Qin State destroyed the country, it was necessary to emphasize righteousness.

Qin annihilated Korea, the reason was that the king of Han in the other day accepted the seal, please be a vassal minister, and he had doubled the agreement, and Zhao and Wei rebelled against Qin, so he raised troops to punish him.

Qin destroyed the state of Zhao, and claimed that the king of Zhao made Li Mu to make an alliance, so it belonged to his proton. has betrayed the alliance and opposed my Taiyuan, so the army will be punished.

Today's destruction of the Yan State, the Qin State is also famous.

King Yan was in a coma, and his prince Dan Naiyin ordered Jing Ke to be a thief, and the soldiers punished him and destroyed his country.

I destroyed you because you didn't preach morality.

I, Daqin, not only want to destroy your country and destroy your society, but also occupy the moral high ground and blame you fiercely.

With such a concept and guidance, the Qin army crossed the border, and did not dare to say that there was no crime in realizing the real autumn.

However, under the harsh Qin law deterrence and the supervision system of Shiwu Liansit, ordinary Qin soldiers really did not dare to kill innocents indiscriminately.

There will definitely be people who kill good people and take risks, but he must first pass the Shiwu Paoze level, after all, if one person commits a crime and sits in Shiwu, there will always be people who are afraid of being implicated and go to denounce.

Even if everyone in Shiwu is tight-lipped about him, he still has to be inspected by a military judge when he turns in his head, and as long as he finds out the problem, everything is over.

The risk is too great, and there are really not many people who dare to do such a thing.

When the common people in Wuyang City saw that the Qin army had really fulfilled its promise, not only did they not slaughter the city indiscriminately, but instead maintained order in the city and preserved their lives and property, they did not say that they celebrated each other, but they were also happy and obediently became the obedient citizens of the Qin State.

Of course, the captured prisoners who resisted before were not included.

After cutting off the heads of some of the captives as needed, and letting the troops who had contributed before all realize the profits, the Qin army really sealed the sword.

As for the remaining captives of the Yan army, they will be reduced to prisoners and vassals, join the engineering brigade of the Qin State, and spend their lives contributing to the construction of the Qin State.

The battle in Wuyang, the dust has settled.

But the battle to exterminate Yan is far from over.

Wang Jian stood on the towering wall of Wuyang City, looking at the field of Dukang in the distance.

After this anointed fertile soil, there is the capital of Yan Kingdom, thistle.

"Li Xin."

"The end will be."

Li Xin stepped forward and bowed his hand.

Wang Jian said lightly: "Wuyang has been taken, and the army will be repaired here for a few days." Then lead a part of the army, clear a road before the army, take Zhuoyi, and wait for the arrival of the army. ”

"Only, the last general will not fail in his mission!"

Li Xin's face was excited, in the previous battle of Yishui, Wang Jian first asked him to train new soldiers, and later led troops around the Great Wall, although these things are very important, but they always make him feel uncomfortable.

Especially in the siege of Wuyang, the troops led by Li Xin were always left at the end by Wang Qian, and they did not get any credit at all.

Now he can finally be the pioneer of the army, go straight to the heart of the Yan Kingdom, and fight for hundreds of miles, which is exactly what Li Xin wants.

Looking at Li Xin's striding away, Xin Sheng, who was standing on the side, said with a smile: "The general is finally willing to let this tiger out of the cage?" ”

Wang Jian coughed lightly twice, took out a silk silk and wiped his nose, he had suffered from wind and cold in the past few days.

"The reason why I pressed this boy was because he was too impatient, and I wanted to sharpen his temper. For the general, you should put calmness first, otherwise you will not care about the front and the back, and if you encounter a general on the battlefield, you will suffer a big loss sooner or later. ”

"The tiger has been locked up for a long time, and you have to let it go out and run for a while, otherwise you will lose your sharpness."

Speaking of this, Wang Jian couldn't help laughing again: "But this time, he is estimated to be disappointed again." After the battle of Wuyang, Yan Wangxi will only shrink his forces in fear and defend Jidu, and it is estimated that there will be no war on the Zhuoyi side. ”

With the issuance of the general's military order, the reserve troops that had not received credit before would be divided into 10,000 people, led by General Li Xin, as the Xing army, into the field of Du Kang, and stabbed into the heart of Yan State in one fell swoop.

Zhao Tuo's 1,000-strong army was also among the expeditions.
