The man was originally a ranger, knew a few words, and spoke very well: "General Hui, the place where we were stationed was originally General Lian's old camp. The general didn't take the potatoes when he told us to abandon the camp on this side. Today, someone who eats poisonous weed and is unwell, I once planted potatoes with Zhu Xianggong, and I can see at a glance that this is the leaf of a potato. After digging, there are potatoes underneath! ”

The river valley has plenty of water, and there is plenty of carcass land. Lian Po piled up potatoes for several months, and they actually grew on their own.

Because of his bravery, he made military achievements, and his family background was better than that of ordinary soldiers, and he was a captain when he joined the army, and now he is a low-level general who can command a team of 100 people, and his camp is on the periphery of the general's camp.

The place where the potatoes are located is the camp of ordinary soldiers. They are not from Handan, they have only heard the reputation of Zhu Xianggong and Tudou, but they have not seen it. So they only think that potatoes are "poisonous weeds".

It wasn't until today that the rangers accidentally discovered that the poisonous weed that the soldiers couldn't eat was potatoes.

The amount of potatoes is not large, and the supply of Zhao Jun, who has killed 10,000 or 20,000 people and more than 100,000 people, is of course far from enough. However, the ordinary soldiers of the Zhao army have been without food for many days, and they live by eating grass roots, bark and the flesh and blood of their comrades, and the psychological pressure is extremely great.

People who should have eaten grain were forced to eat grass roots, bark and meat of the same kind, and now that normal food has appeared, in Zhao Bing's heart, it was like a symbol that he was still a human being, allowing them to find spiritual sustenance.

Therefore, Zhao Jun rarely appeared to laugh today.

The ranger held the potatoes and said: "General, potatoes can be eaten when they are baked and cooked, this is a baked potato, please taste ...... general."

Before the ranger finished speaking, Zhao Kuo whipped the baked potatoes in the ranger's hand.

Ranger hurriedly knelt on the ground and hugged the fallen potatoes into his arms: "General, what do you mean?!" ”

"Such poisonous things are not allowed to be entered, and all of them are burned!" Zhao Kuo said angrily, "You are not allowed to eat this thing!" Zhu Xiang's demons confuse the public and poison the people. When General Ben returns, he will definitely take his head! ”

Zhao Kuo should have no hatred for Zhu Xiang.

But before he left Handan, Zhu Xiang's words to him pierced his heart like a thorn, and became his nightmare like his parents' words of contempt for him.

Even his father recognized his ability to discuss soldiers, but Zhu Xiang even denied his ability to discuss soldiers, and insulted him with sophistry!

Zhao Kuo was bent on making these people who despised him speechless after going to the battlefield. But he failed.

After being surrounded, Zhao Kuo occasionally dreamed that his parents, Lin Xiangru, Zhu Xiang and others repeated those contemptuous words in his ear.

He was furious. Parents and Lin Shangqing are just that, why does Zhu Xiang, who was born in a pariah, despise himself?!

When Bai Qi sent Zhao Ren into the military camp for the first time and told him that King Zhao had not sent reinforcements, Zhao Kuo had insomnia.

After that, although he was able to fall asleep every day, he dreamed of those contemptuous words every day, and dreamed of Zhu Xiang's mocking face towards him that day. Zhao Kuo's anger towards Zhu Xiang in his heart became deeper and deeper.

Today, his scouts confirmed the news that King Zhao did not send reinforcements, and Zhao Kuo was already very shaken in his heart. He actually heard Zhu Xiang's news again at this time. Why is Zhu Xiang so ghostly?!

Could it be that Zhu Xiang would curse, and his own misfortune was because of Zhu Xiang's curse?!

The more Zhao Kuo thought about it, the more scared he became, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

The dark emotions that have accumulated over the past few days are now like finding a crack and gushing out. Zhao Kuo insulted Zhu Xiang with all the foul language he could imagine, as if Zhu Xiang was the culprit who had put him in such a situation. The fear and anger in his heart were released when he insulted and belittled Zhu Xiang, and said that he would kill Zhu Xiang. Even if King Zhao didn't send a rescue, he also pushed it on Zhu Xiang's head.

Yes, it's all Zhu Xiang's fault!

Zhao Kuo thought about it, and his mood suddenly improved.

When people's pressure is too great, when he can't blame himself and dare not blame King Zhao, he can only find someone to vent his anger and vent his malice.

Zhu Xiang just bumped into him.

Why did he hear the name "Zhu Xiang" when he confirmed that King Zhao had not sent reinforcements?

It's all Zhu Xiang's fault!

By the way, Zhu Xiang is the uncle of Qin Guo's proton, so he must be Qin's spy! The defeat of Changping must also be because of him! He is a sinner in Zhao State, and I will cut him with a thousand knives!

"Bang!"

When Zhao Kuo was angry with Zhu Xiang, there was a light in front of him. He reflexively drew his bronze longsword and blocked the iron knife in the ranger's hand.

His hand sank, and the delicate bronze long sword in his hand was actually cut out of a gap by the unpretentious iron knife in the Ranger's hand!

"You want to rebel?!" Zhao Kuo said angrily.

His guards immediately stepped forward to protect him, drawing their swords and pointing them at the rangers.

"Don't insult Zhu Xianggong." When the ranger took the initiative to go to the front line, Zhu Xiang gave him the iron knife.

When the ranger drew his sword, the soldiers behind him drew their weapons and gathered around the ranger.

"Don't insult Zhu Xianggong! If it weren't for Zhu Xianggong, our family would have starved to death! ”

"Zhu Xianggong is not a spy of the Qin people, you are! Zhu Xianggong can let us live, you will only let us die! ”

"Zheng Gongzi was abandoned at the gate of Zhu Xianggong, and everyone in our village saw it, Zhu Xianggong had nothing to do with the Qin people, and Zheng Gongzi was also discarded by the Qin people. You gibberish! ”

"Yes, you are the spy of the Qin people! General Lian took us to fight well, you were defeated as soon as you came! ”

"You're telling us to throw away the potatoes and eat the bark, and, and ...... Whining...... Obviously there is horse meat, but you let us eat human flesh. I ate my father's meat, and my father took the initiative to find the Qin people to die in order to prevent me from starving to death! Take the initiative to send you to death! If I hadn't thrown away the potatoes, my father wouldn't have died, I wouldn't have eaten my father's meat, I'm a beast, I'm not as good as a ......."

"Yes, it's all your fault, you lost the potatoes sent by Zhu Xianggong! General Lian has to eat potato stew and jerky every day, but you say that potatoes are poisonous, let us throw away the best grain, you are the spy of the Qin people, you are! ”

"You let the horses eat wild vegetables, and let us eat the bark!"

"Wu Changjin told the horse not to grab grass with people to eat, you beat Wu Chang to death!"

"Kill him! It's all his fault! ”

"If it weren't for Zhao Kuo, we wouldn't be trapped here! Kill Zhao Kuo! Kill him! ”

"He will kill Zhu Xianggong when he goes back, and if he kills Zhu Xianggong, our family will be starved to death!"

"Kill him!"

"Kill him!!"

The disciplined Zhao Jun actually mutinied after being silent for a long time!

Zhao Kuo never thought that he was just insulting a pariah, and the soldiers of Zhao State actually mutinied!

Why? Why did that Zhu Xiang have such a great reputation among the soldiers of the Zhao State?! Why would those soldiers who would rather eat the meat of their relatives than dare to snatch the bones he had eaten, actually raise their weapons against him for a Zhu Xiang?!

"You dare! I am the general of King Zhao, and I am the son of Ma Fujun! Zhao Kuo roared hysterically.

"Ma Fujun will not blame the defeat on those who are not on the battlefield, and he will not eat horse meat himself, let us eat human flesh!" Ranger raised his knife and rushed towards Zhao Kuo.

……

"What?!" Bai Qi smashed the book slip in his hand on his leg and looked up in surprise, "Zhao Jun mutinied and killed Zhao Kuo?!" ”

Wang Yi hugged his fists and said, "Yes." The leader was named Bofu, and he carried Zhao Kuo's head and led the Zhao army to open the camp gate and surrender. ”

Bai Qi was stunned for a long time before he rubbed his leg that was hurt by the bamboo slip, and frowned: "Oops." ”

"Isn't it good to surrender? Why is it terrible? An old man beside him asked suspiciously.

The old man was dressed in a black linen robe with no patterns, and he was carrying a bowl of half-eaten bean rice, just like an ordinary old man.

Bai Qi sighed: "Your Majesty, we can't afford to raise nearly 200,000 Zhao Jun. I was going to trick them into opening the camp gates and surrendering when they were too hungry to do anything, and then kill them all. Now they still have strength, and it is not easy to kill; They also killed the great man and threw it, and they had a meritorious ......"

Before Bai Qi finished speaking, the old man put down the bean rice in his hand, stroked his gray beard, and said: "If we kill the Zhao army that our general took the initiative to surrender, I am afraid that all the enemies we encounter in the future will fight to the death." ”

Bai Qi sighed deeply.

Bai Qi attaches the most importance to human life. It is precisely because of his attention that he fights a war of annihilation.

The prisoners of war can't afford to raise them, so should they send them back so that they can continue to fight the Qin army next time? Destroying people weakens other nations more than conquering land.

But although Bai Qi slaughtered countless people every time he went out to fight, he was not brainless and killed people indiscriminately. If the harm outweighs the good, he will not use the butcher knife.

Bai Qi has been hesitating about whether to kill the prisoners of war of Zhao State, and the old man who is eating bean rice in front of him has been discussing for a long time, and he has not been able to make up his mind.

If the Zhao army is not deceived, even if the Zhao army is about to starve to death, the Qin army will need to pay casualties if it wants to break through the Zhao army's camp. Bai Qi's emphasis on human life is to let the enemy perish and let his own side survive. Which is more important, Qin and his own reputation, or the generals and soldiers in the Qin army? Bai Qi had already made a decision in his heart, but he hadn't convinced King Qin yet.

Annihilating the enemy and cheating on the prisoners are two different things. King Qin already had a bad reputation, and Bai Qi deceived and killed Zhao Jun, which would make his reputation worse. King Qin was worried that Ying would not dare to come to Qin again because of this matter.

However, King Qin is a pragmatic man.

I can't raise it and can't put it back, hesitate, and I will definitely have to kill it in the end. Reputation or something, King Qin thinks that after he unifies the six kingdoms, he should be better.

Should.

Now, both the monarch and the minister looked at each other and sat on the wax.

Annihilating the enemy and deceiving and killing prisoners are two different things, and deceiving and killing captives is even less the same thing than killing meritorious generals and surrendering troops!

King Qin was so worried that he pulled off a few of his beards: "Wu Anjun, what do you say this should be?" ”

Bai Qi was very decisive and simply: "The last general doesn't know." ”

King Qin tore off a few more whiskers: "You don't know, who should the widow ask?" ”

Bai Qi said: "Write a letter to ask Xiangguo? "Why don't you ask the omniscient Fan Sang-guk?

King Qin glared at Bai Qi and said, "How many days has it been since the letters came and went?" Raise Zhao Jun before this? ”

Bai lifted his forehead, and his head hurt even more.

King Qin also had a headache, so he changed the subject: "Why did Zhao Jun mutiniate suddenly?" Even if there is a mutiny due to lack of food, there must be a reason why he dares to kill the main general. ”

Wang Yu said: "Your Majesty, I heard that this matter is related to Zhu Xiang. Zhao Kuo insulted Zhu Xiang and said that he would kill Zhu Xiang when he went back, and the Zhao soldiers mutinied. ”

King Qin looked down at the beard he had pulled down again: "Huh?!" ”

Bai Qi had just picked up Shujian and smashed his leg again: "What?!" ”

The two looked at each other again.

What does this have to do with Zhu Xiangneng ? Doesn't Zhu Xiang know how to farm? How can you let Zhao Guo's soldiers kill the main general for him?

King Qin slapped Bai Qi on the back: "Go and find out, what's going on!" ”

Bai Qi sighed silently and got up to leave.

King Qin picked up the bowl and continued to eat bean rice.

There is a shortage of food in the army, so it is good to have bean rice to eat, which is better than wheat rice.

Bai Qi summoned Bofu, the "culprit" of the Zhao army mutiny.

Böve is a typical civilian name, meaning "firstborn in the family".

Bai Qi did not despise Bofu, who did not have a surname, first praised "good skills", and then carefully inquired about the details of the surrender of the Zhao army.

Boff was the Ranger.

He was eloquent and described events in great detail.

But Bai Qi didn't understand.

He asked several times, but he still didn't understand.
