Chapter 234 Wang Ben is coming, a ruthless strategy
Of course, Song Yi also knows that this method of relying on cruel punishment to shock people's hearts cannot last long, but they are already at the end of their rope, can they still care about this?
What's more, these people have changed their character. They have forgotten that they are Chu people. They are transforming into Qin people. They want to be dogs to the Qin Emperor who destroyed Chu. So they are not killing Chu people, but Qin people. .
Moreover, he felt that all of this was the fault of the Qin people. If the Qin people hadn't forced them into this situation, why would this have happened? These people should hate the Qin people if they want!
Song Yi walked into Qiantang County Government. After it was captured by their uprising, it became the palace where the king of Chu temporarily lived, and it was also the place where they held discussions.
It was too shabby and crude, which made Song Yi very dissatisfied, but in the early stages of starting a business, he could not do better.
With the sound of "The general has arrived!", a group of people came out from the county hall. The leader was a young man in his thirties. He was wearing the robe of the King of Chu, smiling and pointing. Song Yi said to the people following him: : "I ordered Yin to return!"
Ling Yin was Song Yi's official in the original Chu State, equivalent to the prime minister of Qin. The young man mentioned it now deliberately to express his trust in Song Yi and wish to Entrust important matters to Song Yi.
Song Yi quickly saluted the young man, "I have met your Majesty, Song Yi. However, I am no longer your lord, but if your Majesty wishes, I can become your Majesty again!"
The youth was happy. Laughing, they welcomed Song Yi into the county hall. After entering the house, everyone politely chatted a few words about their recent daily life, then fell silent, and the door was closed at this time.
We all know that something big has happened, but who can really be happy?
Song Yi asked directly: "The king summoned us urgently, what is the important matter?"
Due to his hatred of the Qin people, there were no tables and chairs in the hall, so all the Everyone is sitting cross-legged.
It’s okay to secretly use Qin people’s things, but if you use them openly, you are still not a Chu person, do you still love Chu, or are you against Qin? At least you have to show your attitude to the Chu people!
The young man sitting in front of a black wooden case said: "The King of Qin has already sent troops, and the leader of the Qin army this time will be Wang Ben!"
The King of Qin proclaimed himself emperor because he was deliberately different from the kings of the Six Kingdoms. This made the princes of the Six Kingdoms feel it was a humiliation. Therefore, they did not recognize the First Emperor's proclaimed emperor and still called the First Emperor the King of Qin, treating him as one of the kings of the Seven Kingdoms.
This young man is Xiong Xin, the grandson of King Chu Huai (Xiong Huai), who was later the King of Chu Huai supported by Xiang Liang at the end of Qin Dynasty. The righteous emperor who was killed by Xiang Yu, because he and his grandfather were both King Huai of Chu, in order to distinguish him, was also called "King Huai of the Queen of Chu".
Although the Xiang family is gone now, Xiong Xin was still found and made king of Chu. After all, they wanted to rebel against Qin and restore the country. How could the restoration of the country not have a king?
When Xiong Xin heard that the King of Qin had sent Wang Ben to lead the Qin army, everyone looked solemn. The father and son, Wang Jian and Wang Ben, had great military exploits that touched the world. Who doesn’t know about it?
Wang Ben once led the Qin army to defeat the Chu army and captured more than a dozen cities in the Chu state. His father Wang Jian even led a 600,000 Qin army to attack Chu, defeated Xiang Yan, captured their king, and conquered the Chu state. Total destruction.
Although the one sent by the King of Qin was not Wang Jian, Wang Ben was equally terrifying. Even if Wang Ben was not as good as his father Wang Jian, they were not the Chu army back then. The Chu army back then could not stop Wang Ben, let alone them now. .
Seeing that everyone was either frowning or looking solemn, Xiong Xin said again: "I have summoned you all back just for this matter, and I want to discuss with you how to deal with it."
Song Yi took a deep breath. After a while, I felt a headache when I thought of facing a general of Wang Ben's level. However, in this situation, what else could I do?
We can't ask Tai Yi to show up to protect Chu, and suddenly let Wang Ben die suddenly on the road. If Tai Yi really has a spirit, Chu State will not be destroyed by Qin. Song Yidao: "Your Majesty, does anyone else know this news?"
The news that Wang Ben led the Qin army must not spread!
Their rebel army was already unstable, and they were forced together through coercion and coercion. If others knew that Wang Ben was coming, fear and panic would spread among the rebel army. When Wang Ben really arrived, How many people still dare to fight?
Xiong Xin sighed after hearing this: "The Qin people did not conceal the news that Wang Ben led his troops. Instead, they spread it to various places. The Qin people obviously intended to turn this battle with us into a battle after they unified the world. The first great victory shows that their strength is still there.”
Hearing this, one person was furious and said: "The people of Qin don't take us seriously. They think that as soon as Wang Ben comes, we will be defeated!" This is the fact. There seems to be nothing about them that the people of Qin can look up to.
Xiong Xin ignored this person's words and continued: "I have temporarily blocked the news, but it will definitely not be blocked for long, and it will be known to everyone sooner or later."
Song Yidao: "This is also the case. The plan of the Qin people is to use the name of Wang Ben to undermine the morale of our army and make our army afraid to fight. If we want to prevent our army from being disturbed by this plan..."
Speaking of this. At this point, Song Yi paused for a moment, and a ruthless look flashed in his eyes: "It is necessary to control our soldiers tightly. I think that we should separate the soldiers' relatives and friends from the soldiers, and set up a separate battalion, with soldiers and other relatives in hand." , If he doesn’t dare to fight..."
Song Yi didn’t finish his words, but everyone understood what he meant, threatening the rebel soldiers with the lives of their family members.
If the rebel soldiers escape from the battle and do not dare to fight with the Qin army led by Wang Ben, then kill their relatives. This is to make the rebel soldiers understand that your family is in our hands. If we are defeated, Your family will have to die too.
After listening to Song Yi's suggestion, everyone took a deep breath. This method was too cruel. Although they are still doing it now, they are not so perfect.
But no one refutes Song Yi's suggestion. It's now. What method can't be used? Maybe with this ruthless method, we can force the rebel soldiers to explode and defeat the Qin army!
Song Yi's method solved the problem of unstable military morale and fear of fighting due to Wang Ben's arrival, but it did not solve the problem that the Qin army was actually stronger than them.
One person said: "However, when Wang Ben arrives, he will definitely capture the city we took in the uprising. How should we defend it? Should we distribute our troops to various places for defense, or gather them in one place for defense? ”
“Distribution Defending in various places will definitely cause our troops to be scattered. Even if our troops dare to fight, they may be defeated by Wang Ben one by one. If they are gathered in one place, our troops will be concentrated, but once we fail in the battle with Wang Ben, it will be difficult to recover. .”
This is indeed a problem. It is difficult to make any choice. Everyone in the hall fell into silence for a while.
Until one person couldn't stand the silence anymore and said: "It doesn't work to divide the troops, nor to join them together, so why fight? Just find a mountainous place and drill into the mountains so that the Qin people can't find it!" ”
