Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty Seven: Steady Occupy Half of the Country
The blood is flowing.
This century-old capital of Chu State has added new trauma tonight.
This is the price of war.
In modern terms, the cost of war is high, but the results obtained are not small.
Fighting is expensive, and fighting is also profitable.
The diffuse smoke began to dissipate.
However, the blood in the Forbidden City can never be cleaned away.
The ministers left behind by the Chu State actually all guessed their own fate. They knew what righteousness was and believed that it was natural for them to sacrifice their lives for their country.
But at the same time, they are very selfish.
Just to fulfill his good reputation in this world, he has to make his family suffer and suffer.
After all the men were dead and the women were taken away, Zhao Changqing whispered to Bai Qi: "Go and investigate the nine tribes of these people. Just follow what I said just now. If the women stay, the men will die. You can't do it because of the men.
The war has made these women suffer. However, after the pregnant women give birth to their children, all the men will be killed. In short, none of the descendants of these people who died here can be men."
Bai Qi understood what this meant. To cut the grass, you must get rid of the roots.
He nodded silently, cupped his fists and said, "The general knows."
In fact, to be honest, if His Majesty the Emperor asked him to put the butcher knife on the man's neck, he would definitely do it without saying anything.
If it were a woman, then Bai Qi would really have to hesitate.
After all, killing a helpless woman is simply a shame for a man.
Of course, excluding those women who are particularly strong.
Zhao Changqing came to the harem of the Chu State Imperial City. To be honest, the palace here was very old. Compared with his newly built palace, it could be called dilapidated.
He said to Jia Xu next to him: "Dismiss all the former eunuchs and maids of the Chu royal family. Pay attention to whether they have martial arts skills. If they do, kill them."
Jia Xu nodded and said, "Wei Chen understands."
Zhao Changqing stretched himself in the royal garden of the Chu State Palace and said: "I almost forgot that we are still staying in the capital. Except for the direct descendants of the Chu State royal family, no one is left. Let's reorganize the palace here, so there is
Don’t break the pattern, the imperial concubine is a very family-loving woman.”
Jia Xu clasped his fists again and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Zhao Changqing then said to the generals of the three armies: "Don't think that you are complacent just because you have captured the imperial city of Chu. You must be clear that this battle against Chu is far from over. I don't just want half of Chu's country to be over.
What I want is the entire Chu State."
The generals of the Wei State all clasped their fists and said: "No!"
Just one word can explain so much.
According to Zhao Changqing's plan, he wanted to let the army rest for a period of time. During this period, he would send ministers from the Wei State to take over the Chu State, stabilize half of the Chu State, and then lead the army to capture the entire Chu State.
.
The solution to the Chu State was just Zhao Changqing's attempt to dominate the world.asxs.
He knew that his enemy had never been the Chu State, but the Tang State far in the far north, which was famous for its martial arts.
That is his real enemy, because he knows that Tang State also has the power to solve Chu State.
After the news that Wei State had captured the capital of Chu State, the whole world became excited.
The Tang State sent envoys to the Song, Duan, and Liang States, hoping to use the power of the four countries to jointly check and balance the Wei State.
Because they all know very well that they cannot allow Wei's strength to continue to develop.
The Wei State has done many things over the years, including arranging the Jin State and taming the Chu State. Its national power has far surpassed that of other countries, breaking this long-lost balance.
However, Zhao Changqing was not afraid of the four-nation alliance.
There's really nothing to be afraid of.
It's nothing more than soldiers coming to cover up the water and the earth.
On the seventh day after occupying the capital of Chu State, Zhao Changqing realized that many local dignitaries and ordinary people had quietly fled.
This made Zhao Changqing very helpless.
So he promulgated several benevolent policies one after another, with remarkable results.
At the very least, there are fewer and fewer curses directed at him in the city.
Wu Xiaoren, one of the leaders of the Chu rebel army, came to the capital.
His superior position was originally a chess piece placed by Zhao Changqing, but now, this chess piece actually came to ask for something from him.
Although those things were promised to me first, they were empty words and I didn’t want to give them to him anymore.
His existence is just a means for Zhao Changqing to break up the rebel alliance. Now that the rebels are no longer powerful enough to pose a threat to themselves, of course, there is no need for them to exist.
Zhao Changqing set up a game for him.
He held a banquet in the Forbidden City and personally went out of the city to invite him. During the banquet, Li Cunxiao was asked to kill Wu Xiaoren.
The plan was implemented successfully with almost no effort.
The soldiers under his command were all taken over by Zhao Changqing, who told them that Wu Xiaoren drank too much and died suddenly.
But the specific situation is probably anyone’s guess.
Zhao Changqing welcomes those who are willing to stay as soldiers, and the soldiers recruited from the Chu State are treated the same as those of the Wei army.
From then on, people living in this country called themselves Wei people.
The new year is approaching.
The Wei army's capture of the capital of Chu is still brewing, because this is history, and everyone in the world is witnessing history.
The folds from Luoyang, the capital of the Wei State, were sent to the capital of the Chu State in bundles one after another, waiting for Zhao Changqing to read them.
What he usually dislikes the most is reading memorials.
But having said that, the capital city really urged itself to deal with government affairs, just to remind itself that it must not just focus on fighting and forget to handle state affairs.
At present, Emperor Chu has escaped from the Southern Wilderness. There are natural dangers there and it is really not suitable for sending troops to fight in the cold weather. He can only wait for the beginning of spring.
He discussed with the soldiers and decided not to stay here any longer.
Because even if the Chu State has great ability at this moment, it is unable to recover.
He said to Bai Qi: "After the new year, I will leave here, taking only 100,000 people back, leaving you with nearly 600,000 elite troops. You must command the generals of the army and control the remaining territory of Chu State." , capture them one by one, Emperor Chu, it is best to capture him alive."
Bai Qi was ecstatic!
This is a war to destroy the country!
His Majesty actually left it to me like this?
This is really unimaginable!
The current state of Chu is nothing more than a meal on the plate. This is your majesty’s achievement given to you in vain!
Once the battle to destroy the country is successful, he will definitely be famous in history!
Zhao Changqing looked at his excited expression and smiled: "Don't be too quick to be happy. You still have a lot of troubles. There are rebels, rebels, remnants of the Chu Kingdom, and Jianghu sects from all over the Chu Kingdom. These are all areas where you need to have a headache.
I still say what I said, if you capture the Chu Kingdom, you will be the greatest hero of the Wei Dynasty. If you cannot capture it, you will have to figure it out yourself!"
Bai Qi took a deep breath, cupped his fists and said, "If I fail to live up to His Majesty's expectations, I will be willing to die to apologize!"
In fact, Zhao Changqing is really brave.
He told Bai Qi to give him more than 600,000 troops.
