"Zhao Tuo, since General Wang ordered you to escort the Wei people back to their hometown, you have to be cautious and don't make any problems on the road, otherwise the military law will not tolerate mercy."

When the two armies set off separately, Zhao Tuo visited Huan Zhao on the South Road in accordance with the rules and bid farewell to him. Then he was coldly ridiculed and threatened by Huan Zhao.

"There is a reminder from Chief Lao Zuo, Zhao Tuo will be careful all the way to prevent the villain from plotting."

Zhao Tuo said calmly, not convinced in words. Now that resentment has been put on the table, there is no need to pretend to be a grandson.

Huan Zhao's eyes flashed fiercely, and he was about to threaten again to find the field, but he heard Zhao Tuo whispering: "This battle against Wei has come to an end, if nothing else, the king will raise another army to conquer Chu." At that time, General Li will be the commander-in-chief, and I will be able to serve under General Li again, which is really gratifying. ”

Zhao Tuo said a word, then showed a meaningful smile at Huan Zhao, and left.

Huan Zhao was stunned in place, looking at Zhao Tuo's back, and the threatening words that came to his mouth couldn't be said.

Li Xinhua Chu!

Huan Zhao, as a senior general at the level of Zuo Shu, naturally heard the news, and now that he was reminded by Zhao Tuo, he was shocked to realize that this matter was close at hand.

"Is this shaft threatening me?"

Huan Zhao gritted his teeth, but he was a little jealous in his heart.

He can now put on small shoes for Zhao Tuo and find an excuse to clean him up. But if you wait until Li Xin is the head coach, will you also use this method to take revenge on yourself?

This is what is implied in Zhao Tuo's words.

As soon as he thought of this, Huan Zhao also began to feel empty.

Under the order of Zhao Tuo, thousands of Qin troops wrapped the 1,000 Wei people in the middle and marched in the direction of Humu Township.

Because Zhao Tuo had already announced to these Wei people that the Qin army's trip was to escort them back to their hometowns.

In addition, there were Zhang Zhong and Chen Ping in the middle to appease Zhou Zhou, along the way, a thousand Wei people behaved very obediently, no one chose to run away or make trouble, and everyone had a smile on their faces.

Compared with the more than 2,000 Wei soldiers who were beheaded, they were able to return to their hometown alive, which was already a great gift from the Qin army.

However, there are not no smart people in this group of Wei people.

Chen Ping was one of them, and he smelled something unusual.

While the army was resting, he found an opportunity to ask to see Zhao Tuo.

Chen Ping thanked the public passenger, thanks to the public ride this time, he was able to let these thousands of people return to their hometowns alive. This great grace is unforgettable. Chen Ping bowed to Zhao Tuo.

The so-called pause, that is, kneeling on the ground and knocking on the ground with the head, is the etiquette second only to the chief in the "nine worships".

Chen Ping knelt down and kowtowed to Zhao Tuo, which was a great tribute and gratitude.

Zhao Tuo frowned, his body turned slightly sideways, and he did not accept Chen Ping's gift.

Chen Ping was stunned for a moment, with a wry smile on his face.

He asked, "Is there really another reason for the fact that the public ride is not allowed to be equal?" ”

This Chen Ping is really smart.

Zhao Tuo sighed slightly, for the sake of appeasing the hearts of the 1,000 Wei people, he did not say that the Qin army would exchange people for food, but only vaguely said that he would escort them back to their hometowns.

If you tell those Wei people honestly, there will definitely be many people on the road who can't get food at home and choose to find an opportunity to escape.

It's just that Chen Ping still saw the signs and took this opportunity to test it.

Zhao Tuo shook his head, the reason why he saved these thousand people was also to sell Chen Ping's favor, and now that the other party saw it, he naturally didn't hide it, so he told Wang Ben's military order.

"Two stones for one person, these more than 1,000 people need 2,000 stones of food."

This figure shocked Chen Ping, and he said in a bitter voice: "When the Qin army captured Humu before, it had already levied a batch of military rations. After Wei Bao returned to the division, most of the grain stored in our Zhang warehouse was taken away by Wei Bao. The Zhang family is like this, and there are not many ordinary villagers in their homes, how can they afford to give these two thousand stone of grain? ”

Chen Ping was very anxious, because there were many servants of the Zhang family among the thousand people, and some relatives of the Zhang family. If these people were all punished as slaves, their Zhang clan would suffer great losses, and their reputation would be rotten in Humu Township.

Zhao Tuo shrugged, he couldn't help it.

He originally wanted to use this matter to make Chen Ping owe him a big favor, so that he could take the other party under his command in the future.

Who knew that Wang Ben issued this kind of military order, which disrupted Zhao Tuo's plan.

Chen Ping is worthy of being a smart person, and he quickly thought of a solution.

"Gongcheng, now is the time when the green and yellow are not connected, and the township really can't get so much food. If you can give a period of grace, let the people go first, and after the autumn harvest, you will definitely be able to pay this batch of grain. ”

Zhao Tuo's heart moved, Chen Ping's words were very reasonable, the Wei people had no food at home, but there was one in the field, and all they needed was time.

But Zhao Tuo just thought about it and shook his head.

In the Qin army, military orders are laws.

An order was given from above, and Zhao Tuo had to obey unconditionally.

The Wei people either exchanged grain for people, or went to be slaves, and there was no third choice, let alone the possibility of conditions.

Zhao Tuo also did not have the qualifications to ask Wang Ben for instructions, the so-called "death of those who overstep the score", if he did not go through Yang Xiong and Huan Zhao, he would directly ask Wang Ben for instructions. No matter how reasonable and useful what he said, it would be a violation of military law, and Huan Zhao could kill him according to this regulation.

Moreover, Zhao Tuo knew that the fall of Daliang City was in the past two months, and he would definitely not be able to carry the autumn harvest.

After the autumn harvest, the king of Qin will order Li Xin to attack Chu as planned, and at that time, he will definitely scavenge a batch of grain in Weidi.

The corn in the Wei people's fields, when it comes to the autumn harvest, may not necessarily be theirs.

Therefore, even if this matter can really be conveyed, Wang Ben will not agree.

Zhao Tuo said helplessly: "This is a military order, and I can't help it." ”

Chen Ping thought about it, but even if he was extremely resourceful, he had no way to conjure up excess food, so he could only sigh: "Chen Ping understands the difficulties of public transportation. ”

"No matter what this matter is, it is the public passenger who has found a way to survive for this thousand Wei people. If there is no public ride, I am afraid that these thousand people will be killed on the battlefield, and there will be no chance to exchange food for returning to their hometowns. Chen Ping remembered the grace of the public ride, and asked me to bow to him. ”

As he spoke, Chen Ping bowed to Zhao Tuo again.

This time, Zhao Tuo didn't dodge.

He admired in his heart that dealing with smart people is simple.

Chen Ping can clearly see the role played by Zhao Tuo in this matter, if it were someone else, I am afraid he would not appreciate it at all.

On the next journey, Chen Ping did not leak the matter, and a thousand Qin troops escorted a thousand Wei people and arrived safely outside Humu Township.

Then, Zhao Tuo announced the policy of exchanging grain for people to these Wei people, and conveyed the matter to the entire villagers through the Zhang family.

The whole Humu Township was boiling, and many Wei people scolded the Qin army for being greedy and cruel, and wanted to take away their life-saving food.

Even children of a few years old were scolding in dialect and secretly spitting in the direction of Qin Jun.

In addition to cursing and rolling eyes, many Wei women and children who could not get food ran to the barracks, knelt on the ground, and begged and cried to the Qin people, hoping to let their husbands and sons go home.

Cursing, crying, and pleading can be heard everywhere in this village.

"This is war."

Zhao Tuo sighed lightly in the camp, the role he played at the moment was not glorious, and to the Wei people, it was no different from a thief.

But this is the reality, Zhao Tuo is not the protagonist of the center's wishes, how can everyone like it and everything goes well.

All Zhao Tuo can do is to play his own identity.

At this moment, he is Qin Kou in the eyes of the Wei people.

I owe a chapter today and make it up in a week.

The reason is a bit of a carvin, the battle of Van Wei has come to an end, and the plot is roughly finished. There are also some corners that can be written, such as fighting Jiyang again or attacking the eastern part of Wei, dealing with Huan Zhao, etc., but I feel that the plot will become protracted and bloated, and I am ready to end the war on Wei in these two days, and then use a few chapters to start Li Xin's war on Chu.

Vachu is a big plot in the early stage, and it is worth writing more than Wei with more pen and ink, so you have to think about it. If you have any thoughts about Vachu, you can leave a message at the end of the chapter or in the book review area.

Thank you for your reward, and for your votes, thank you!

(End of chapter)
