Adonis.

This is Zhao Tuo's first impression of Chen Ping.

The clothes on Chen Ping's body had already become dirty during the march, and there were even many scratches in many places, but they still couldn't cover his upright posture and handsome face.

It can really be said that the face is like a crown of jade, and the instrument is extraordinary, which makes people feel good at first sight.

"Chen Ping, meet the general. Congratulations to the general for his great victory over the Wei army under the city of Xingyang, and the capture of the Wei prince, Leopard, after this battle, the general will surely be famous all over the world."

Chen Ping bowed down, his demeanor was humble, and he even said words of congratulations in his mouth.

This guy is really scheming.

Zhao Tuo's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the man in front of him.

The meaning of Chen Ping's sentence is not simple, in addition to congratulations, he also deliberately emphasized the capture of Wei Bao, which is actually hinting at the credit.

After all, if they hadn't turned against the water, Zhao Tuo would not have captured Wei Bao alive so easily.

What does he mean......

"Ben will know your mind. Since I asked Zhang Zhong to follow, I have the intention of letting you people live, and I won't do anything to these thousand people in the future."

Hearing this, Chen Ping breathed a sigh of relief.

The reason why he hinted at offering Wei Bao's merits just now was not because he wanted to invite credit, but because he hoped that the Qin generals in front of him would be able to capture Wei Bao alive and let them a thousand people live.

The scene of Qin Jun cutting off his head and piling up a mountain of human heads just now scared Chen Ping enough. In particular, the Qin soldiers who were guarding them all stared at them with red eyes, talking to each other and saying that it would be good if they cut down all these thousand people.

Chen Pingzhen was afraid that the Qin army would kill prisoners for the sake of military merits.

I could only hint boldly, but I didn't expect that the Qin general in front of me didn't look as big as himself, but he was very smart, and he understood what he meant in an instant.

No wonder he can be the commander of a thousand-person Qin army at this age.

This man is in no way inferior to me in his shrewdness.

Thinking of this, Chen Ping became more and more jealous of the young Qin Jiang in front of him.

He bowed and said, "Chen Ping, on behalf of a thousand villagers, thank the general for sparing his life."

Zhao Tuo said, "There is no need to do this, and the reason why you spare your life is because you did not resist. Although I will not kill you, but if I follow the Wei army here and want to attack my land of Xingyang, I am afraid that these thousand people will inevitably be demoted to vassals."

"Huh?"

Chen Ping's mouth opened wide.

But he immediately thought that Qin's law was strict, and once he broke the law, he would be involved at every turn, let alone an "enemy army" like them.

When encountering the Qin army on the battlefield, there are generally only two ends.

One was beheaded on the spot and became a member of the Mountain of Human Heads.

The other was to become a slave and contribute to the construction of the Qin Empire.

There are few third options.

Thinking of this, Chen Ping's face was full of bitterness.

Wei Bao wanted to take revenge on the Zhang family because of Zhang's surrender to the Qin army. In order to help the Zhang family quell this disaster, Chen Ping proposed a plan for the Zhang family to send servants and recruit a thousand villagers for the Wei army, which made Wei Bao happy and let the Zhang family go.

Chen Ping knew that the Wei State would be destroyed, and there was no way out with Wei Bao, so he had already thought of a way out.

For example, if this Qin army had not appeared just now, Chen Ping would have tried to coax Wei Bao to give up the Zhou market, use it as bait to attract the Qin army, and then take this thousand people for a "strategic retreat".

[In other words, the best app for reading aloud and listening to books at present,

Remorse.

Looking at Chen Ping in front of him, his face was pale and his expression was uneasy.

Zhao Tuo knew that the time was almost up.

He said, "Well, it's not like there's no room for change. I have a way to exempt them from being vassals."

Hearing this, Chen Ping raised his head reluctantly and stared at the young Qin General in front of him.

He only felt that his heart was going up and down, and he was pinched by the other party.

It's a feeling like you've never felt before.

Chen Ping looked at Zhao Tuo with a look of hope, and pleaded, "Please also ask the general to save him."

Zhao Tuo didn't agree immediately, but said, "Go down and help Zhang Zhong pacify those people in Humu Township." I would have had my own agenda."

"Yui."

Chen Ping took a deep look at the young man in front of him and remembered his appearance in his heart.

After bowing down again and bowing respectfully, Chen Ping walked out.

Seeing the other party leaving, Zhao Tuo showed a smile on his face.

Although this Chen Ping is already quite scheming, after all, he is not very old, he has not grown up, and he is far from reaching the level of "six strange schemes to calm the world" in history, so Zhao Tuo can provoke him in this matter.

However, he didn't lie to Chen Ping, Zhao Tuo did have a way to save more than 1,000 people.

Because these 1,000 people have never attacked the Qin army on the battlefield, and they are all villagers who do not wear armor, they can completely belong to the logistics of the Wei army.

Soldiers and civilians are treated differently.

Moreover, they also offered Wei Bao and captured a Wei prince alive, which was enough to make the upper echelons of the Qin army happy, so as to spare these thousand people.

As for the Qin pawns at the bottom, before nearly 3,000 Wei army heads, they had already made a lot of money, and there would be no complaints.

"After this incident, I think this Chen Ping will definitely remember me."

Zhao Tuo said secretly in his heart.

However, he didn't think much about it, because the war had just ended, and he still had a lot of things to deal with.

For example, go and meet two other friendly armies.

The first to arrive were the generals of the Qin army who came out of Xingyang City to support.

The time for this Qin army to go out of the city was very wonderful, and when it came out, it encountered the collapse of the Wei army, and when it came up, it chased the dead and chased the north, and there was not even a decent battle, so it directly grabbed a lot of heads, and the military merits were soft.

The whole army, from top to bottom, was all smiling.

Therefore, when Zhao Tuo saw General Qin who was leading the troops, the other party was full of smiles, and his eyes narrowed with a smile.

This is a middle-aged man with a full beard, thick beard, very powerful, and looks like a general.

When the other party saw Zhao Tuo, he was also taken aback.

"You're the commander of this army?"

That Qin General's face was full of surprise, after all, Zhao Tuo was really too young, and it was completely impossible for people to associate this young man's appearance with the commander of a thousand-strong Qin army.

Zhao Tuo was already accustomed to this kind of expression, and said with a smile: "Take Zhao Tuo in Xiagong."

Seeing Zhao Tuo arching his hand, the Qin general did not dare to slack off, and stretched out his hand to return the salute.

"I'm a no-brainer."
