Chapter 185
In the name of Qin II, Zhao Gao directly mobilized the army to deal with this matter.
The nobles of the six countries who had been kept in captivity for many years had no power to resist.
Most people even hadn't reacted to what happened, and then they were controlled by Qin Bing.
Qin Shihuang ordered the nobles of the six countries to migrate to Xianyang, but only restricted them in some aspects.
The property of these nobles of the six countries was not taken away, so even if they were drunk and dreaming and did not have to do anything to produce, it would not affect their normal life.
Qin Shihuang was both relaxed and strict with these people.
They will not be recruited for labor service or anything, and they don’t have to do anything every day, just enjoy it.
Qin Shihuang hoped to use this method to make them sink, make them lose their fighting spirit, and live completely for the sake of enjoyment.
When this generation dies, the next generation will naturally be no threat.
Qin Shihuang chose a method of boiling frogs in warm water to solve this hidden danger.
But Wang Buye cannot use this method.
The old nobles of the Six Kingdoms were a trouble for Qin Shihuang, and they could not be killed in one breath.
That will make the unstable world turbulent again.
The same goes for Wang Buye. If he ordered the killing of these people, it would probably not be so easy to integrate Zhu Xia in the future.
Although nobles do not regard ordinary people as human beings, nobles are actually a symbol and a sustenance.
...
"So cruel?" Wang Buye, who had just passed Hangu Pass and entered the Guanzhong land, received a report from the frontline scout, and was stunned.
"It's not only that..." Peng Yue nodded with a bad face, and then said: "It is said that Qin Ting dispatched tens of thousands of troops to kill in Xianyang City for three days and three nights. Ordinary people didn't even dare to go out. In the end, they could only let the soldiers carry the corpses outside the city. The corpses were piled up like a mountain. There are now three corpse mountains outside Xianyang City, each of which was dozens of feet high, and there were 70,000 to 80,000 corpses buried inside..."
Even though he was used to life and death, he saw Peng Yue who was in charge of the body, he felt a little nauseous now.
What he said to Wang Bu'e was not as detailed as he heard, but it did not affect the result.
The weather is getting hot now, and the bodies must be disposed of as soon as possible, because all of these people died of external injuries and had wounds on their bodies.
Otherwise, it might smell the next day.
At that time, it may cause a huge plague in Xianyang City.
So, it's too late to dig a hole.
So they temporarily recruited corvee labor, piled up the bodies into mountains, dug soil on the spot, and covered them little by little.
The scene was extremely tragic, and there were even rumors that some people were even crazy about the recruited labor service.
This is different from killing prisoners. The prisoners are killed in batches, and even the tomb pits that buried them are dug by the prisoners themselves.
After digging, they cut it directly at the edge of the pit. When the body was almost done, they replaced the prisoners to bury it, and then pushed it to the edge of the new pit to continue chopping.
Only when the last wave of people will it be the soldiers who will bury them.
Such a case where more than 200,000 people were directly piled up into corpses and then piled up and buried on the spot was probably the first time in history.
Not to mention those people, even the soldiers themselves became weak in their legs.
The six nobles who moved westward in the six countries had almost 100,000. Over the years, thanks to Qin Shihuang's policies, the population of the six countries has seen explosive growth.
But now...
Wang Bue couldn't help but shivered...
Too scary...
Wang Buye’s original intention was to let Zhao Gao kill those old, smart, and people who looked very valuable to cultivate.
The young man and the woman can still stay. Anyway, Qin Ting killed them, and the Han army went to rescue them. Then these people would not be grateful?
But unexpectedly, Zhao Gao was so cruel that he killed more than 200,000 people in one go, regardless of gender, age or young.
"No traces left?" Wang Bu'e asked.
If the butt is not wiped clean in this kind of thing, it will really make you mess up.
"No, the scout in charge of the execution has been transferred back to Luoyang. Although he was followed that day, ours happened to be among the people who followed him, and they did not find any clues." Peng Yue said.
"All those who participate will be rewarded!" Wang Buye continued.
"No!" Peng Yue nodded.
The meaning is already very clear. After receiving a heavy reward, I will stay at home to support my old age.
The best treatment is given to the best, and the work will not make you tired, but you must be strict with your mouth, otherwise you will be intercepted and killed by various thieves at any time, or you will be smashed to death by a collapsed house when you go out.
"The king, the commander of Zheng County (Hua County) ahead sent someone to report. When the people of Zheng County heard that the Han army was coming, they slaughtered cattle and sheep and offered them to the Han army..."
Wang Buye looked helpless and shook his head and said, "I can't eat it anymore..."
First, I have eaten so well these days. Basically, all counties will come to reward me wherever I pass.
The army was originally good at attacking and fighting, but it was turned into a triumphal march.
This is like a huge victory in the army. On the way back to the court, the people along the way took out the best things from their homes to express their excitement.
Second, Wang Buegang knew about the situation in Xianyang and really had no appetite.
"Master, the people's will must not be disappointed!" Xiao He said.
When Wang Bue talked to Peng Yue, Xiao He moved two steps out with a wink, and then came back after the two of them finished speaking.
"Then let's go and have a walk..." Wang Buye nodded.
Before, the army was also treated like this when passing by Taolin (Tongguan to Lingbao), Ning Qin (East Huayin), and Pingshu (East Huayin).
But he was greeted not by the county magistrates of the three counties, but by the local old Qin people.
It is said that the county magistrate ordered to resist the Han army without knowing what was going on, but not only the people quit, but also the officials under his command stopped doing it.
He directly learned the favorite routines of those outsiders, and took the county magistrate out of every possible way, and turned himself into the position.
Open the door and welcome guests...
This is the first time Xiao He and Cao Shen have entered Guanzhong, and it is also the first time he has faced it directly. Why did Qin reach this point today?
Even the old Qin people who conquered this world for Qin would wish Qin could perish quickly, so what reason would he have to continue to exist?
What shocked Xiao He even more was that when the people saw the Han army, they asked the most about the policies of the Han Dynasty.
First, ask if it is true?
The second is to ask if these policies will be implemented here too?
This was the case all the way, which made Xiao He and others sigh repeatedly. This time the Han army's advance westward was probably the easiest battle to destroy the country in history, right?
And Xiao He, the military advisor, has not played any role so far.
It's not useless, but it's not useable at all.
The more I thought about it, the more depressed she felt. Xiao He was still thinking about Liu Bang. If he didn't show any level, how could he improve his position in the heart of the King of Han?
If the King of Han has insufficient status in the heart of the Han Dynasty, how could he have the weight if he pleads for Liu Bang in the future?
But there are people who take the initiative to surrender everywhere, and the army is still useless, let alone him?
Suddenly, Xiao He was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed.
Chapter completed!
