Chapter 272 Jiang Hu’s tangle
“Let’s go! Seeking death!”
“Ah——”
Noon.
Hundreds of huge deep pits have been dug from Qinghu Bay to Baishatan Plain.
The 80,000 old soldiers of the Western Qin Dynasty, with neat armor and sharp spears, had cold expressions on their faces. They escorted the soldiers of the Thirteen Kingdoms who had their hands bound and their armor removed to each deep pit. If anyone delayed or delayed, they would be killed directly.
The already decadent 600,000 to 700,000 surrendered soldiers became even more dull and confused, and were driven forward slowly.
Arrived at the first deep pit, thousands of people were kicked down, and then sat numbly at the bottom of the pit, with no light left in their eyes.
Then they were faced with piles of dirt showering their heads. Finally, some people began to struggle and scream, but they were stabbed randomly by the spears of the Western Qin soldiers, dripping with blood and making no sound.
Until everyone was covered with mud, dozens of war horses dragged thousands of kilograms of stone rollers, crushing and compacting them repeatedly, leaving no chance of survival.
Then, the remaining hundreds of thousands of prisoners were divided into hundreds of piles and driven toward one deep pit after another.
In the distance, 387,000 surrendered soldiers from the Western Regions were gathered, sitting cross-legged for more than ten miles, being tightly guarded by 20,000 Western Qin troops, making everyone watch silently and not blink.
There were also Confucian disciples who had defected to the Western Qin Dynasty. They were walking back and forth excitedly, shouting loudly: "Listen carefully, everyone, those who were tricked and killed are heinous people. You are different from them. The prince I have carefully checked your background and found that you are all innocent people who have been bullied by others!
Not only will the county king not kill you, but he will also reuse and protect you. From now on, you will be the best soldiers of the Western Qin Dynasty. They are all the beloved generals of the prince!
You must know how you bullied the princes and nobles who were killed today. Today you are witnessing and killing them together. You are all good people of the Western Qin Dynasty. Erlang..."
Various brainwashing slogans are repeatedly sung.
A strange light of hope slowly appeared in the eyes of many soldiers.
Occasionally, someone showed hatred, and a Confucian scholar immediately pointed out angrily: "This guy is a spy of those people, a fish that slipped through the net!"
Soon, some warriors from the Western Qin Dynasty came forward. , one knife kills this person.
The killings are still going on, and the traps and killings are endless!
Intangible resentment soared into the sky.
The sky is hazy, just like the bloodshed in the Western Region, just like the killings that shocked the world today!
In the camp on the high platform in the distance, Xin Zhuo was sitting cross-legged in his commanding position, still playing with his small sword. He occasionally looked out of the tent with a complicated look on his face and moved his hands a little faster.
On the side, Murong Xiu, Cui Ying'er and others, as well as Xiong Zhang and Sai Qingzhu, who had rushed back after helping Bai Xuanji pacify Qiulingzhou, sat cross-legged in silence, sometimes looking at Xin Zhuo, sometimes lost in thought.
In fact, they also felt that killing hundreds of thousands of people was too cruel and terrifying, but they supported it. The county king must have had his own plans and thoughts in doing so.
Murong Xiu and Huang Dagui, in particular, looked a little dazed. They still remembered being attacked by other bandits in Fulong Mountain, intimidated by police officers, and being chased around by masters of the four major families. At that time, they never thought they could wave. Kill hundreds of thousands of people in a trap?
The fate of life is so difficult to fathom!
Cui Ying'er thought for a while and asked in a low voice: "The boss, will you pass?"
Xin Zhuo smiled and said nothing.
“Jiang Yuqing!”
Third uncle Jiang Hu suddenly broke into the camp and stared at him coldly, with the aura of a veteran in the battlefield.
“Third Master!”
Murong Xiu, Cui Ying’er and Xiong Zhao stood up and saluted, giving the third master of the Jiang family the most basic respect.
Jiang Hu turned a deaf ear and still looked at his nephew, his face changing constantly. To be honest, he was a little confused by the nephew's various operations. His distrust at first turned into the expectations and expectations of the martial arts masters behind him. Then I was worried about the unknown situation of the battle, finally rejoiced at the great victory, and now I am frightened by the cruelty of my nephew’s methods: "Why?"
"I'm afraid of death!" Xin Zhuo sighed, "You have to believe that I must have my reasons for doing this. I am not a cruel person, but I have to do this. The land cannot support an army of 500,000 people. I want the territory of the Thirteen Kingdoms, and if I want the territory, I can’t keep these prisoners!”
"What's wrong with recruiting new troops from the three states and eighteen prefectures? Isn't it okay to restore the original three hundred thousand troops in Western Qin? Even if you are afraid of the court, you can still try it slowly! The first one who comes Heaven is about to rebel, and now you are dedicated to raising five hundred thousand soldiers! What are you going to do to really rebel against the emperor?" Jiang Hu looked gloomy, "The Jiang family has been in the land of Western Qin for hundreds of years. Known for kindness and benevolence, this is the place where my Jiang family takes root in the Western Qin Dynasty and suppresses all directions. For reasons of all countries, who will believe the Jiang family if you kill like this? How will the world view you? Are you afraid of being defeated without defeat?"
" I tell you responsibly, don’t be afraid!”
Xin Zhuo has been thinking about the land of Western Qin for a long time. This place will never be loyal to you because of your kindness or unkindness, but whether you are fair or unfair. Live and work in peace and contentment.
And from a personal point of view, conquering a territory, finding a sense of security, and resisting the imperial court are only one of them. The most important thing is to conquer the Thirteen Kingdoms, complete the Wangyuejing sacrifice, and improve one's realm.
He went from a little bandit to what he is now step by step. To be honest, he is a little helpless. This is the situation in life. The situation is stronger than the person. If he has the choice, he is still willing to be without danger. , a carefree little bandit, find a woman to get married and spend the rest of his life, it's fine!
But no! He seemed to be pushed forward step by step by Mochizuki Well or his own destiny.
Wherever you go in the future, do it and cherish it!
In short, I want to live! Don't let anyone push you in front of me!
"Absurd! Arrogant! You have countless ways to go, but you chose this one!"
Jiang Hu was furious, "Have you really never considered your reputation? Jiang Yuqing killed 650,000 unarmed people. Deciding to surrender from the Western Regions? Have you ever thought about the consequences? "
"Third uncle, I am still willing to listen to you. I have given you enough face and am not afraid to tell you frankly. Anyone is qualified to question me, but you. Jiang Hu can’t do it!” When the family is facing collapse, the emperor will play all kinds of tricks, first crush you to dust, then give you a candy, and finally boil the frog in warm water to completely defeat the Western Qin army! The whole world will praise him as a wise king!
His self-righteous behavior is actually very annoying.
I don’t know what you natives think. Anyway, I can’t do it. I have to find a way to struggle. Maybe something else will happen and I’ll be chopped down with a knife. I admit it!
But if I am just like you, talking about being upright and famous, it is impossible.
Times have changed. Uncle San, the glory of the Jiang family and the reputation of the Jiang family are gone! All gone! The emperor wants you to die, what can you do?
You have been haunted by evil spirits for more than ten years and watched helplessly as the Western Qin army was defeated. You had no choice but to find a few damn sect elders to get some kind of Dahuan Dan to keep you healthy. Is it useful? How ridiculous is this?
Third uncle, have you really never thought about how to change? You are not old, but your heart is old! ”
Jiang Hu's face turned pale, and he took two steps back in despair, looking at his nephew in disbelief. He wanted to speak, but didn't know where to start. After a long time, he smiled bitterly: "I thought you were similar to your father at first, but then I thought you were more similar. Your father is strong, and now I realize that you are not the same kind of people at all!"
"I am who I am, why should I be similar to anyone?"
Xin Zhuo stretched himself and smiled. Laughing, "I have a lot of things to do. To be honest with Third Uncle, destroying the Thirteen Kingdoms is only the second priority, so I won't give it away! I will figure it out some other time. Come to me and we can cooperate."
Jiang Hu closed Eyes, took a deep breath, turned and left, sonorous and powerful when he came, but dejected and helpless when he returned. He felt that one day Xi Qin would no longer be Xi Qin, and the Jiang family was afraid that it would no longer be the Jiang family!
The Jiang family, which has been loyal for three hundred years, will eventually become a traitor and a cholera party because of this Jiang Yuqing.
...
An hour after Jiang Hu left, Jiang Man'er, who was born with yellow hair and a body full of tendons, hurriedly entered the commander's tent and saluted calmly: "Captain Bingda, 650,000 surrendered soldiers have been killed. Completed, tamped it with stone and sealed it with lime! "
"Very good!" Jiang Shisan went to take over the defense of Bai Xuanji's three states and eighteen prefectures, and ordered Yan Kuizong to conquer General Hu. You, Bai Xuanji, and Yan Kuozong will lead 30,000 of the most elite Western Qin veterans. We will set off tomorrow with three soldiers. Daily rations, fighting to support war, attack ten small countries such as Gouhe, Baima, Qinche, Shiwei, Yinai, Jingjue, Dayue, and Wuri.
I will send a letter to Taixun Gongna! Old Confucian scholars, they will try their best to cooperate with you! Remember! No nobles above the wheel will be spared in the strangulation of the ten countries. If they can destroy the country, they will be killed immediately. If they cannot be destroyed, they will be killed and captured. "
"It's your order!" Jiang Man'er turned around and left with excitement on her face.
Xin Zhuo looked at Murong Xiu's group again and smiled: "We at Fulong Mountain are going to contribute. Murong, Dagui, Lao Bai and Jiulang, you select two hundred smart and capable people from the Tie Fu Guard. , and I have just transferred three hundred Jianghu secret agents and shadow guards from the capital. They are all handed over to you to detect the Shence Army in the south and the Dianqian Army in the north. If there is any movement, please notify me immediately. "
"Look at the boss! No one understands them better than me!" Bai Jianxi rubbed his hands together excitedly.
“What a yo-yo, that’s right!”
Huang Dagui also smiled and said, “We are quite good at spying on information!”
