Night falls.

When the red Chu flag fluttering on the city wall was cut by the sword, and the black Qin flag was reinserted, this time the rebellion led by the Xiang clan came to an end.

The Xiang brothers sent troops in the morning, were defeated in the afternoon, and committed suicide in the evening.

It was so fast that it shook the people of the city with fear and trembling.

Martial arts Hou Zhao Tuo is one thousand and three thousand, and the momentum is like a broken bamboo, and no one in the world can do it.

The old men who were in charge of the big clans in the city even knelt in front of Zhao Tuo, and couldn't stop kowtowing and begging, "Junhou, Junhou. Our clans were persecuted by the Xiang clan with swords, but in fact, there was no trace of betrayal and rebellion. We wish that the Xiang clan would die, Jing Chu would be extinguished forever, and we would all be the people of Great Qin forever.

"I hope that the prince and the marquis will see that we have no intention of rebellion and rebellion!"

"The Xiang clan is vicious, we are all forced by them!"

In addition to the clans in Xiaxiang City, the people of Qianshou in the city also looked at the newly entered Qin army in fear, one by one panicked, for fear of suffering from Zhulian.

Zhao Tuo naturally saw all this.

"The Xiang clan colluded with the traitor Zhang Liang and committed the rebellious thing, I know it, I said during the battle, this battle only will punish the Xiang clan and his comrades, and those who are coerced will not be killed."

"As I said before, whoever beheads one of the Xiang clan can be punished for the crime of rebellion and forgiven. The rest of those who are coerced may be punished lightly according to the law for their rebellion on the battlefield."

Zhao Tuo opened his mouth and set the tone of the matter.

This time Xiang Liang raised the banner to rebel, which was the first since the unification of the Qin State, and it had an extremely significant impact.

The remnants of the Six Nations are all watching here, so how to deal with these rebels is very important.

If it is replaced by a legalist like Li Si, not to mention slaughtering everything, but all of them are denounced as prisoners and slaves, they want to use this to deter the world and let everyone in the world see the fate of the thief.

Zhao Tuo did not approve of such an approach, because the current situation was not the same as that of the late Qin Dynasty.

In the past two years, the emperor has been building a lot of construction and going to war everywhere, which makes Qianshou exhausted. But it has not yet reached the point of ***, and after the unification of the Qin State government, the princes' hometown promoted the manure method, quyuan plow, pasta and other things, so that the life of the Qianshou is still a little better than in history.

In this kind of situation, most of the leaders don't want to rebel, they are just coerced by those rebels.

If all of them are heavily punished, then in the future, if this kind of rebellion happens again, in order not to repeat the mistakes of these "predecessors", I am afraid that the coerced Qiantou will only have the iron heart to follow the traitors all the way to the end.

Therefore, Zhao Tuo thought that it was better to only punish the first evil, pardon and punish those who rebelled on the battlefield, divide the rebels internally, and give those who were forced to obey the rebels a chance to live. Then today's battle of Xiaoyuan, the internal chaos of the Chu army, and the scene of fratricidal killing will continue to repeat, which will be very beneficial to counterinsurgency.

At this moment, hearing the words of the martial arts marquis, the people who were subordinate to the prime minister were all relieved.

It's good not to die, even if you are fined and punished, but you can save your life anyway.

There are even people who secretly hope that their relatives who have gone to the battlefield can take advantage of the chaos to kill a child of the Xiang family to offset the crime of rebellion.

"Marquis Rende!"

"The great grace of the prince, we will never dare to forget!"

In the gratitude of the subordinate ministers, Zhao Tuo, who dealt with the policy, went straight to the Xiang family's mansion, which was already controlled by the Qin army.

At this moment, the Xiang family's mansion had already been occupied by the Qin army, and all the Xiang clansmen, slaves, maids, and servants in the mansion were all kneeling on the ground, burying their heads and trembling.

Zhao Tuo glanced at these captives, and saw that they were basically old and weak women and children, so he was no longer interested.

The coerced subordinate prime minister Qingzhuang can also be punished lightly, but the clansmen of the Xiang clan do not have this treatment, and whoever is in power will exterminate them.

"Prince, I have seen it with people from other clans in the city, and these two corpses are indeed Xiang Liang and Xiang Tang."

Zhao Guang pointed to the two corpses placed in the middle of the mansion and reported to Zhao Tuo.

Zhao Tuo nodded, he came this time to confirm the death of the Xiang brothers with his own eyes.

Xiang Tang doesn't matter, this person doesn't have a good reputation in history, he is a guy similar to Erwuzai, and his ability is not outstanding.

But Xiang Liang is different, this is a real character.

In the war at the end of Qin, this person took Xiang Yu to raise troops in Jiangdong, went north to annex the armies of Qin Jia and Jingju, and restored the state of Chu and supported King Huai. It rescued Qi Wei in the north, broke the Qin army led by Zhang Han under the city of Dong'e, and Zhang Han fled west in embarrassment, and the name of Xiang Liang shocked the world.

However, Xiang Liang was finally defeated by his arrogance. net

After his victory, he became arrogant and despised Zhang Han and other Qin generals, and Zhang Han seized the opportunity to mobilize all the Qin troops and attacked the Chu camp at night, and finally the Qin army killed Xiang Liang in Dingtao.

From this point of view, Xiang Liang's military ability is undoubtedly outstanding, and this is also a figure that Zhao Tuo has always remembered in his heart.

Looking at the corpse of the man in his thirties on the ground, Zhao Tuo shook his head.

That's the wrong time.

It is only the twenty-eighth year of Qin Shi Huang, Xiang Liang is not very old, he has never been on the battlefield, and his ability is naturally impossible to compare with that time at the end of Qin. In addition, this rebel army rose up suddenly, and the internal chaos was all a rabble that had not been trained and run-in, and it was normal for them to be broken by the Qin army with one blow.

"I didn't expect that Zhang Liang's assassination this time would allow me to destroy the Xiang clan in advance."

Zhao Tuo smiled helplessly.

He withdrew his gaze, didn't look at the Xiang clan people kneeling on the ground, and asked Zhao Guang directly, "Where is Xiang Xiang?"

Zhao Guangying said, "I am being detained outside the house." "Let's go, I have something to ask him." Zhao Tuo turned around and walked out.

According to the intelligence, this time in the rebel army, Xiang Liang and Xiang Tang were the leaders, and the highest status under them were Xiang Sheng's subordinate brothers Xiang Sheng and Xiang Xiang.

Not long after Xiang Sheng commanded the cavalry to start the battle, he saw that the situation was not good and fled on horseback.

And Xiang Xiang commanded the crossbowmen, but he did not run in time and was captured by the Qin army on the spot.

At that time, Zhao Tuo was still in a hurry, and he came to attack the prime minister, but he didn't have time to interrogate, so he let people stay behind. Now that Xiang Tang and Xiang Liang are dead, Xiang Sheng has run away on horseback, and the rest of the Xiang family's mansion are old and weak women and children, and they can't ask for any news, Zhao Tuo naturally set his eyes on the captured Xiang Xiang.

After a while, Zhao Tuo saw a child of the Xiang family who was tied up with five flowers and covered in blood.

"Zhao Tuo! You female thief, evil thief, I can't wait to eat your flesh and sleep on your skin······ Woo······"

Xiang Xiang was about twenty years old, and when he saw Zhao Tuo coming, he could see his identity at a glance from his clothes, and immediately scolded, but he didn't scold for a while, and he was pressed to the ground by the Qin pawn behind him, and his mouth was directly clubbed to the ground.

Zhao Tuo smiled faintly, as a winner, he naturally wouldn't be angry by the insults of this kind of loser, and he didn't want to make any more detours, so he asked directly, "Where is Xiang Ji now?"

The Qin soldiers lifted Xiang Xiang up so that he could reply.

Xiang Xiang glared at Zhao Tuo with red eyes and said, "You want to find Xiang Ji? Then you will die, you will see him when you die! Hahaha, you Zhao Tuo are really famous generals in the world, and you won't even let go of dead children, I'm ······."

Zhao Tuo smiled and said to Zhao Guang on the side: "To deal with this kind of person who is unwilling to tell the truth, you know the tradition of our army."

"Understood."

Zhao Guang responded, a smile on the corner of his mouth, since the prince made that kind of punishment, he has never seen anyone who can really keep his mouth shut.

"Turn it over, water it with a cloth, water it with blood." Zhao Guang thought of Xiang Xiang's insult just now, and let people douse blood in the waterboarding, and this power was going to go to another level.

Of course, if it is more extreme, it can even be carried out with urine and feces, which is enough to make the hero kneel and beg for mercy.

Sure enough, Xiang Xiang's backbone collapsed completely before he could hold on for a quarter of an hour.

When the cloth covered with blood was revealed, he coughed loudly while honestly confessing all the information that Zhao Tuo wanted to know.

"Before the emperor moved to the fields

After entering Guanzhong with the Han and Wei clans and building the Six Kingdoms City, Xiang Liang knew that our Xiang clan was likely to be among the migrants."

"Xiang Ji is not very old, but his personality is easy to be reckless and impulsive, and because of his ······ Because of the deaths of Xiang Yan and Xiang Qu, he was full of resentment towards Daqin, Xiang Liang was worried that Xiang Ji would cause trouble after being moved into Guanzhong, and he wanted to leave a bloodline for my Xiang clan in the hometown of the Six Kingdoms, so he let a child drown outside, replace him, and let Xiang Ji cheat to death and get out, and now it should be at General Jingtong's place."

After Xiang Xiang finished speaking, he lay on the ground and cried bitterly.

"Xiang Ji really didn't die, I knew how could this famous overlord of Western Chu be sick and die."

Thinking of Xiang Xiang's last sentence, Zhao Tuo's brows furrowed again.

Jing Tong?
