"Since the Dai clan has agreed to surrender yesterday, why did he betray his promise and attack our army at night."

Zhao Tuo stepped forward and spoke lightly.

Dai Wu knelt on the ground, knocked on the ground with his head, and said in a wailing voice: "Wait for the army, everything is because I am in a daze, and I am dissatisfied with the position of the county prince that Mr. Li said. Thinking of sneaking up on the night, and then threatening the army with a big victory, in exchange for the position of the county commander of Suxian County. It's all my fault, and Dai Wu is willing to take all the punishments. ”

Zhao Tuo sneered: "Really? How did I hear that Dai Yu came up with this matter, and he also summoned your Dai clan people, saying that our Qin army wants to slaughter your Dai clan after the city is broken, and kill all the Dai clan people, arousing the indignation of these thousands of people, so they went out of the city to attack our army at night. ”

Seeing that the words were pierced, Dai Wu's whole body trembled like chaff, and he could only kowtow and say: "Please also ask the military candidate to be punished, Dai Wu is willing to suffer all torture, I only hope that the military candidate can spare my son Dai Yu and the common people in the city." ”

Dai Yu, who was escorted not far away, burst into tears when he heard this.

He opened his mouth to speak, but he couldn't get a word out of his throat.

Zhao Tuo didn't speak, and no one from the generals of the Qin army behind him spoke.

The air was almost frozen, and the oppressive atmosphere made Dai Wu Khan tremble like rain, and his heart was worried.

At this moment, Zhao Tuo smiled, he stepped forward to support Dai Wu's body, and said with a pleasant face: "Dai Jun don't be afraid, my Qin army is not the barbaric and rude people rumored in the Six Kingdoms. I already know about Dai's affairs. You are a loyal elder, and the matter of surrender will not be fake, but you were deceived by the younger generation, so you made a big mistake. ”

"I, Zhao Tuo, am not unreasonable, nor am I a person who kills indiscriminately. I will punish Dai's affairs, but I will never kill on a large scale, which is reassuring. ”

"In addition, the position of the county magistrate of this county still has to fall on your Dai Wu's head."

Dai Wu was stunned.

First, he didn't expect that the commander of this Qin army would be so young, he looked like a young man, and he was not as old as Dai Yu, and he could become a Qin army commander who controlled 5,000 people, which was really surprising.

The second point is that Dai Wu didn't expect that the other party, as the victor, would be kind to him, not the imaginary ridicule and then punished severely.

And listening to the meaning of this military candidate, the Qin army actually wanted to stop investigating the matter of Dai's night attack. Although it is said that there will be punishments, as long as you don't kill people, whether it is money or effort, those punishments are no less.

What surprised Dai Wu even more was that this young soldier actually said that he would fulfill his previous promise and continue to make himself the county governor of Su County!

Dai Wu was immediately flattered, and hurriedly bowed his head again.

"Thank you, Wait. The military is virtuous, and the world is benevolent! Dai Wu is the guilty person, An can go to the position of county leader, as long as the military can let Dai go, Dai Wu will be satisfied. ”

Zhao Tuo squinted and stared at Dai Wu.

"I'll let you be a county minister, and you will be a county minister."

The flat voice was full of undoubted meaning, Dai Wu was excited, and hurriedly said: "What the military candidate said is what the military candidate says, what the military candidate says is what it is, and my Dai clan will definitely obey!" ”

Zhao Tuo nodded with satisfaction and walked towards the city.

The next thing is just like Zhao Tuo's promise.

The Qin army released all the Dai clan people who were captured last night, even if it was Dai Yu who was the mastermind, Zhao Tuo only reprimanded him, and then sent him back to Dai Wu, without any more killings on the way.

This time, except for the families of those who died last night who were still grieving, the entire Dai clan was grateful to Qin Jun.

They all understood now that the Qin army had no intention of slaughtering the Dai clan from the beginning, and everything was Dai Yu's deception.

Dai's tentative surrender, but he wanted to attack the other party at night, which was a treacherous thing.

After the defeat, the Qin army not only did not kill and retaliate, but released all the prisoners, and appeased the Dai family, and even made Dai Wu the county governor of Qin as promised.

Where is this rumored army of tigers and wolves, a brutal army.

This is a proper teacher of righteousness!

The entire Dai clan, up to Dai Wu and down to the ordinary clansmen, were all grateful for the magnanimity of the Qin people.

Even the arrogant Dai Yu was defeated all his arrogance in this night attack, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of respect in his heart for the Qin soldiers who captured him and then released him.

"He can calculate that I will attack at night, and he can call things like a god."

"After the captives, they should not torture and kill, but treat us with magnanimity, which is righteousness and righteousness."

"Zhao Junhou, like a god and benevolent and virtuous, will become a famous general in the future in the future!"

In addition to sparing the Dai family, the Qin army did not kill and loot in the county when they entered the city, but strictly guarded the order. After taking over the city, let Dai Wu come forward to pacify the common people in the city.

Therefore, in just two days, Zhao Tuo has completely controlled the county in his hands, from the Dai family, which has the deepest roots, to the ordinary people, they are no longer afraid and hateful of the Qin army, and are willing to cooperate.

"Do you know why I pardoned Dai?"

In the house, Zhao Tuo sat on the couch, drank the wine in the house, and asked the wabu on the other side.

Shima thought for a moment and replied: "Just like what the two and five hundred lords of Zhao said, if the Dai clan is wiped out and we advance eastward, those Wei people will definitely not dare to surrender and cooperate again, and they will definitely resist desperately." On the contrary, the military candidate Dai's pardon shows the benevolence of our army, and those Wei people in the east see it, knowing that surrender can avoid death and preserve their wealth and status, many people will have the will to surrender and are willing to surrender. ”

"Among those Wei people, there are battles and surrenders, and the hearts of the people are different. If the hearts are not the same, then our army can take advantage of the situation and break it, and it will be able to make great achievements! ”

"Yes, this is from the perspective of war, and your art of war is really not in vain."

Zhao Tuo praised Shima, since learning the art of war, Shima's strategic vision has gradually risen, and he can already see the power behind the matter, unlike the black buttocks who only care about the immediate interests.

However, Shi Jian can only see this level at present, Zhao Tuo turned his head to look at the other person in the room, and asked, "Does Mr. Li have a strategy?" ”

Li Shiqi drank all the wine in the river, and said with a smile: "The Dai family is like a big tree, which has taken root in Su County for hundreds of years, and has long been luxuriant. If the army is to destroy the Dai clan in the city, not only will they bear the reputation of indiscriminate killing, but the nearby Wei people will definitely be afraid and hateful, and let us go east, and the road back will be restless. ”

"And the Dai family had the intention of surrendering, but because of Dai Yu's greed, this time our army used the hundreds of Dai heads to shock them, showing the might of our Qin army, so that the Dai father and son did not dare to be greedy again. The military candidate will then be appeased with the position of county leader, so that the combination of grace and power can make the Dai family return to his heart. With Dai's assistance, our army will be able to ensure the stability of the back road. Just ......"

Zhao Tuo raised his eyebrows.

"It's just that, sir, you can say as much as you want."

Li Shiqi said in a dark voice: "As the saying goes, people's hearts are unpredictable, although Dai said that he was surrendered, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no repeated things, so he has to guard against it." ”

"It's better to recruit Dai Yu to accompany the army, called an entourage, but in fact a hostage. With this person in our hands, Dai Wu has a cowardly personality and will never resist, and will definitely support our army wholeheartedly with Dai's strength in the rear. Hehe, that's foolproof. ”

Zhao Tuo laughed, pointed at Li Shiqi and said, "Mr. is really talented, this is a clever plan." ”

"In addition to Dai Yu, I will also recruit five hundred young men of the Dai family to join the army and give them a chance to 'promote to the rank of meritorious service'."

In addition, in addition to appeasement, Dai should also be punished accordingly, so as to convince the public. The follow-up grain for our army's eastward journey was provided by Na Daiwu. Thinking that there are Dai Yu and five hundred Dai people in the army, then Dai Wu must be willing and do his best. ”

Li Shiqi said with a smile: "The view of the military is also extremely clever!" ”

Zhao Tuo's affairs in Jiang County were quickly arranged.

Before the arrival of the county commander and the county lieutenant appointed by the central government of the Qin State, the administrative affairs of the county were handled by Dai Wu, the county Cheng who had been declared by Zhao Tuo.

Militarily, it was managed by the 500 advocates left by Zhao Tuo to guard here.

As for Dai Yu's conscription with the army, although Dai Wu was reluctant to give up, he was helpless.

On the contrary, Dai Yu looked excited, and he said to Dai Wu: "Father, I used to learn the art of war, and I gained a little, so I thought I was comparable to the world's famous generals. After that night's defeat, I knew that the people in the world were also strong, and those who were smarter than me did not know how many. I see that this Zhao Junhou is young, and he uses soldiers like a god, and he will definitely become a famous general in the world one day. I would like to follow him eastward and learn his art of using soldiers! ”

Speaking of this, Dai Yu remembered what Zhao Tuo said to him, and raised his head and said: "I have understood the word 'pattern' that Zhao Junhou said today. In the past, I only put all my thoughts on this corner of the county, thinking about the position of the county order. And I don't know that the world is far bigger than this. As Zhao Junhou said, I should open up my own pattern and get out of this small county. ”

"Now is the time for the Qin State to go east and destroy the Six Kingdoms, and it is also an opportunity for us and other men to conquer the world and make contributions."

"Zhao Junhou is right, what is the little county order?"

"The eldest husband lives in the world, he is born as a marquis, and he dies as a temple food!"

"I, Dai Yu, am going to wait with Zhao Jun and look for the marquis on the battlefield!"

Stay until the next day.

The five thousand Qin troops, who were in high spirits, marched out of the east gate of Suxian County.

The black flag fluttered in the wind.

The spear halberd in Qin Jun's hand, pointing in the direction of the east, is due east.
