Chapter 63 The fine traditions of the Qi people
Qi County, which was under Linzi, was originally the fief of Duke Jiang Taigong of Zhou. Since the Spring and Autumn Period, the people of Qi have been striving for progress, expanding eastward, boiling salt and reclaiming fields, and enriching the country.
Jixia Academy is even more famous all over the world, and all the scholars in the world yearn for it. A hundred schools of thought contend and flourish, and the literary works shine brightly in the world.
The prosperity of Qi land and the prosperity of Qi land gradually eroded and corrupted the ambitions of Qi people.
When Qin destroyed Han, the people of Qi were still immersed in the prosperous times and remained silent.
When Qin destroyed Zhao, the people of Qi were still sinking under the singing of orioles and dancing, living in drunkenness and dreaming of death.
When Qin destroyed Wei, the people of Qi were still drunk and luxuriant and destitute.
When Qin destroyed Chu, the people of Qi were still addicted to the lingering sound of the sound, covering their ears and stealing the bell.
When Qin destroyed Yan, the people of Qi were still sleeping under pavilions and towers, watching on the walls.
When the Qin army was approaching, the sword pointed at Qi's ground, Qi's people suddenly looked back and saw no one asking for help.
The peaceful and graceful Qi people became the only country in the Warring States Period that had no resistance and surrendered to the whole country.
With a glorious and brilliant history of more than 800 years, as the first overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Qi people perfectly explained what it means to be born in distress and die in happiness.
On Julu County, on the road, Wang Ben led the Northern Legion 200,000 Jingjia to the south, stretching for hundreds of miles, like a long black dragon.
Wherever he passed, he had never encountered any resistance. Zhao Xie's rebels fled and collapsed without fighting.
With almost no effort, Wang Ben regained the land of Julu.
He did not go directly to Handan because Zhao was not his target. His Majesty ordered him to conquer Qidi, so he did not dare to disobey it.
Going south along Julu Road is Jibei County, which is the first line of defense for the rebels in Qi.
As long as you take down Jibei County, you can go straight to Linzi, Qi County.
I originally thought it would take some tricks to recover Jibei County, but what Wang Ben did not expect was that the Qi people once again played out their fine traditions.
The King of Qi had already knelt outside the city of Ge in Jibei County with many nobles from Qi, asking for his crimes in order to seek forgiveness.
The 30,000 soldiers all put down their weapons and knelt down decadently and restlessly.
"General, is this over?"
Wang Ben's deputy general looked at this scene and was stunned.
"This Qi people are too cowardly, right? I haven't made any contributions yet?"
"Qi Ren is up, pick up your weapons, be a man!"
"Like a real man, fight!"
For a moment, the Qin soldiers who had already been waiting for the opportunity to greet each other were sarcastic and sarcastic at the Qi people who were kneeling on the ground begging for surrender.
"quiet."
Wang Ben shouted loudly, and ordered it and stopped it. The roaring horn sounded melodiously and heavy, slowly sounded.
Suddenly, the bustling Qin soldiers closed their mouths obediently, and their faces showed a solemn and murderous aura.
"General Wang, the people of Qi have no intention of rebelling against the Qin Dynasty! I hope the general will clearly understand."
Seeing that Wang Ben led his army to slowly press over, Tian Kuo was soon surrounded by the black Qin army. He immediately knelt down and moved to Wang Ben's horse, and said with great respect.
"No rebellious heart? Then what do you all want to do? Gather the crowd to welcome me?"
Wang Ben looked at Tian Jiao, feeling very disdainful. He was a coward and dared to compete with His Majesty? He was simply a death sentence.
"General, I..."
As soon as Tian Jiao spoke, before he finished speaking, he heard Wang Ben snorting coldly. He immediately realized that he had made up his words and quickly changed his words: "The villain was bewitched by those cunning and treacherous people of the Chu people!"
"Chu people? Chu people ask you to die, will you die too?"
Wang Ben sneered, of course he knew that this was just a false statement of Tian Fei's ruling to shirk his guilt.
"General, the villain has known his crime and regrets it. Today, he leads the crowd to welcome the royal army. Your Majesty is kind and generous, and everyone knows that he should not kill the villain, right?"
Tian Fu was heartbroken at first, looking like he repented, and then praised him with compliments.
Wang Ben sighed in his heart. His Majesty gave him only four words to eliminate future troubles forever.
Since it is a secret edict, Your Majesty’s intention is self-evident and cannot be made public.
Therefore, the name of a bloody butcher and the crime of tyranny and injustice cannot be carried by His Majesty.
I can only bear the blame. As a minister, I will naturally eat the king's fortune and be loyal to the king.
"Your Majesty is carefree and kind, and loves the people as much as his son, so naturally he will not make things difficult for you."
Wang Benzhen said something.
"The villain thanks His Majesty for his kindness."
"Blame and thank your Majesty for your kindness."
Whether it was Tian Jue, those nobles, or the soldiers of Qi, they all breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly bowed to the West and thanked him.
"Your Majesty will not kill you, but everyone will be punished by rioters. This general will never allow you and others to harm the country and the people to survive in the world."
Wang Ben showed a sarcastic look, and then waved his hand.
"General?"
"Give me your life!"
"I don't want to die..."
"ah!"
"ah……"
Suddenly, thousands of arrows were fired, and Tian Fu and the nobles fell into a pool of blood immediately.
All the soldiers of Qi changed their colors and began to riot.
However, they had no strength to resist the Qin army soldiers who were unarmed and had no power to resist.
From the moment they dropped their weapons, their destiny was no longer decided by themselves.
"General, what should I do with these rebel soldiers? Have you killed them all?"
The deputy general looked at the 30,000 restless Qi soldiers in a stern and cold manner, and asked Wang Ben with murderous intent.
"The culprits are all punished, and there is no need to be implicated. Death crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped. All are detained. Report to Your Majesty's Holy Tribunal!"
After Wang Ben finished speaking, he drove his horse and walked towards the gate of the city.
A group of people who are not sure about their depth and death are controlled by His Majesty, and all the money and food in the world are sealed in the court treasury.
Although I am a general of the border army, if I do not have your Majesty’s secret edict, military talismans, and scepters, I will not be able to dispatch even one soldier or another.
Even if Meng Tian has been running the Northern Legion for ten years and has a very high prestige, what can he do?
A transfer order will be in vain for ten years of hard work.
Your Majesty transferred Meng Tian to southern Xinjiang, saying that there was no general in southern Xinjiang, but he had the idea of taking the opportunity to transfer Meng Tian away.
Although I have prestige, my unstable foothold in the Northern Legion is not enough to shake the authority that threatens His Majesty.
Meng Tian’s principle in southern Xinjiang is the same. If he will accumulate power over time, it will definitely damage the authority of the ruler and not benefit the stability of the king’s country.
This has nothing to do with trust, but the way to be a king.
It’s still my father’s vision, and His Majesty’s holy heart is unpredictable!
Only by being cautious in words and actions can one be invincible.
But what made Wang Ben a little worried was that the court could not send less than a hundred official documents to summon him to return to Xianyang to serve the king, and his father wrote no less than dozens of letters.
Because I was secretly ordered by Your Majesty, I turned a blind eye and heard, and I was afraid that after returning to Xianyang in the future, I would inevitably be destroyed by my father!
Why!
Wang Ben felt very innocent. It was a pity that he was wise and powerful, and was scattered on the battlefield. Except for His Majesty, he was afraid of his father!
