Chapter 771: Execution
Argus, the king of South Vietnam, was very problematic.
He not only killed his father to ascend the throne, but also used violence to seize power, which made people unconvinced.
After successfully ascending to the throne, in order to consolidate his rule and increase his power, Agus deliberately wooed the Tiger Division, which was once the enemy of Jiaobu.
He gave the Tiger a very high right, so that the two tribes of Jiaohu formed an alliance and jointly oppressed the rest of the tribes.
Every year, the rice grown by the various tribes of South Vietnam must be handed over to each part of the Jiaohu tribe, and a part of the beast skins and skins hunted by the beasts must also be handed over, and each tribe must send its own slaves to sacrifice in case of sacrifice.
Under all kinds of oppression and exploitation, various tribes also resisted, but in the face of two powerful tribes, they were basically suppressed.
If anyone dared to say a word to Agus's order, it would be a direct end in the belly, and such a brutal suppression made the tribes have a deep resentment towards Agus, the king of Nanyue.
After the Fanshan Rebellion, the South Vietnamese tribes sent envoys to the Qin army to surrender, and they were willing to surrender to the Qin state, and at the same time made a request, that is, they hoped that the Qin army could kill the tyrant Argus and give them peace of mind.
Agus was terrible in their eyes, and in one day this tyrant would not be able to sleep in all the tribes of South Vietnam.
Zhao Tuo agreed to this request.
Not only to consider the heart of subduing the South Vietnamese tribes, but also because this guy Agus has the vice of cannibalism!
The last time Tu Sui conquered Vietnam, he marched into South Vietnam after capturing Xiou, but was defeated by Argus, and many of them were captured by the South Vietnamese.
But after Yin Tong captured Panyu City, he couldn't find a single Qin prisoner.
The reason for this is that all the Qin captives were eaten by the Jiaobu people.
It is said that after hearing that the Qin people liked the number six, Agus actually killed six Qin people for six consecutive days to eat, as a mockery of the Qin state.
When he heard about this, Fan Xu was so angry that he wanted to kill all the captives to take revenge, but was stopped by Yin General for the sake of the overall situation.
Everything is about winning the war.
It is not until now that the dust has settled that the time to really start settling the ledger.
Cannibalism.
Such behavior has long violated Zhao Tuo's bottom line, and even the bottom line of all civilized countries.
The generals of the Qin army also shouted that this person should be put to death to avenge the dead Qin people.
"Cannibals, death!"
Zhao Tuo's attitude was very firm, and he had no idea of communicating with the barbarian Argus.
It's a waste of energy for you to talk to him more about this kind of goods.
"The cannibals are all anti-human and anti-civilization, and they must be killed to make an example!"
After sending Li Shiqi to negotiate the conditions for surrender with the Nanyue tribes, he decisively ordered the torture of the Nanyue king Agus, as well as the Nanyue Dawu captured by the Qin army, and the nobles of the Jiao tribe.
Zhao Tuo even sent people to invite the leaders of the South Vietnamese tribes to watch the execution ceremony.
Hearing that the Qin army was going to publicly execute Argus, the leaders of the South Vietnamese tribes were very happy and excited.
Especially the shark of the fish department, he was about to see with his own eyes how the enemy who killed his father would die a miserable death.
When everything was ready, and Agus was taken to the execution ground by the Qin soldiers, he saw these figures who had once been slaves under his rule.
"You damned bastards, you have taken refuge in the filthy Qin people and betrayed the glory of the descendants of Braltar. Braltar, the Thunder King, and the Jiao King will let you perish! ”
Agus roared, using the gods that the South Vietnamese believed in to issue a curse.
The faces of the leaders of the tribes turned pale, and Shark, who had a great enmity with Argus, gritted his teeth and said, "Cruel tyrant, you are about to die!" No matter how much you say, I'll watch your head being cut off by the Qin people later! ”
Agus laughed and said, "Hahaha, die? I, Argus, have killed countless people, when have I ever been afraid of death! There are any means to use it. ”
As he spoke, he also looked in the direction of General Qin with a sneer, his eyes were full of disdain, and he even licked his lips, revealing a look of longing for food.
"This brute is so arrogant, I knew that I should have cut his tongue before!"
Han Xin stood beside Zhao Tuo and was furious when he saw Agus's provocative appearance.
Zhao Tuo's face was calm, and he only said lightly: "When he is sentenced, he will know." ”
As Zhao Tuo said, Agus's arrogance disappeared in an instant when he was stripped naked in front of everyone, and then pointed at his lower body with a steel knife, leaving only his face pale.
All five punishments are complete!
This is the punishment set by Zhao Tuo for this so-called king of Nanyue.
Yellow, slash, cut off the left and right toes, cut the waist, and slash.
Because the South Vietnamese were proud of tattoos, and there was a dragon tattoo on Agus's face, the punishment was not lethal, so Zhao Tuo waved his hand and replaced the punishment with a palace punishment.
It was not only Argus who was stimulated, but also the leaders of the onlookers, who were also pale.
They saw Agus stripped naked by the Qin people, cut off underneath in front of countless people, and then subjected to other horrific tortures.
No one applauded, everyone held their breath and trembled.
The leaders of the South Vietnamese tribes were greatly shaken by the spirit.
The tyrant they once feared, after experiencing untold suffering, became a mess of meat on the ground in the blink of an eye.
Such a scene is even more terrifying than Argus's cannibalism.
"Qin people...... It's scary. ”
Shark opened her mouth with a shudder, her eyes straight.
Adu next to him kept swallowing his saliva and said in a low voice: "As long as the Qin people give us a way to live, it is better to obey them." ”
A pair of eyes looked in the direction of General Qin with a look of fear.
"Congratulations to the general, I killed Argus with five punishments in public, not only to avenge the death of my soldiers, but also to raise the prestige of my Great Qin and intimidate the South Vietnamese tribes. From today onwards, they don't dare to betray our Great Qin again. ”
Li Shiqi congratulated Zhao Tuo with a smile.
Yes, the reason why Zhao Tuo publicly executed Argus was not only revenge, but also a sense of deterrence.
He had promised the South Vietnamese tribes before, as long as they surrendered, they would not be guilty of their previous battles with the Qin army, and would give food to help them survive the winter, showing the benevolence of the Qin state.
But it's not okay to be all benevolent, righteous and kind, that will make these South Vietnamese barbarians think that you are benevolent and deceitful, and you will be even more powerful in the future, so after giving benefits, you must also kill people and establish authority.
Zhao Tuo wanted to let the South Vietnamese tribes know what the fate of going against the Qin army would be, and if they dared to have different intentions in the future, they would have to think carefully about whether they could withstand the fate of Argus.
There are all five punishments, and just thinking about it is terrifying.
"Kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, let them know that Qin Wei can't be offended."
Zhao Tuo said lightly.
Han Xin, who was standing beside him, rolled his eyes, found an opportunity, and said in a low voice: "General, now that we have publicly executed Argus, it is enough to deter the hearts of the South Vietnamese tribes, and I think they will not dare to betray our Qin State again, so that the rear will be stable." Can we take advantage of the situation to march and chase the tiger tribe of Ah Tu Gu all the way to Xi'ou and destroy them together! ”
"I heard that General Ren Huan has put down the rebellion of the Yangyue people in Changsha County, and we can send someone to cross the Wuling to inform him. When the time comes, our army will attack Xiou from two sides, and we will be able to fight down! ”
Han Xin's face was full of excitement.
The first time he led an army alone, he won a battle, and even captured the king of a country.
Under the taste of eating marrow, Han Xin naturally wished that the Qin army would take advantage of the victory to pursue and continue to wage war against Xi'ou, so that he could continue to enjoy the thrill of fighting with the unified army, and he could also make great achievements and be promoted.
He is also very confident in the next fight.
South Vietnam was basically pacified, and their next target, Xiou, had been crippled by the Qin army led by Tu Sui in the last Qin-Vietnam War. Even if it was later restored with the help of the South Vietnamese, its strength was somewhat weak, far inferior to that of the South Vietnamese.
Under the condition that the Qin army destroyed Minyue and Nanyue, it sent troops from two roads to attack the half-crippled Xiou.
In Han Shin's view, this victory is considered a big one.
Zhao Tuo looked at his little apprentice with a smile.
If I remember correctly, Minyue was defeated before, and Han Xin couldn't wait to propose to attack South Vietnam.
