Killing is very simple, but what is difficult is how to deal with the consequences of killing. The former Qin general Bai Qi killed the Zhao State and reduced the number of 300,000 soldiers, leaving the powerful Zhao State in a state of collapse. This can be said to have laid a solid foundation for the future of the Qin State. However, a generation of famous generals Bai Qi died because he killed too many people.
Whether it was Xia Jie or Shang Zhou, the reason for the destruction of the country was because of too many killings. Anyone who failed to handle the killing matter would have a bad end. However, to become a famous general, a hero, and a wise ruler, , whose hands are not full of blood? Qin Emperor, Han Wu, Tang Zong and Song Zu all killed people profusely, and some even killed their close relatives. However, their descriptions in history have given good evaluation. What is the reason? There is no other. , the results were handled well.
No matter who you kill, they all have their own parents, wives, children, and at the worst, they also have children, nephews, and friends. If you kill one person, you may become the enemy of ten people. How to make the enemy let go of hatred is a very learned thing. .Few people in the world can do it well.
Huo Jin killed hundreds of people in the wine shop. Even if these people were all spies of the Mo family and Fang Xianshu, some of them had lived in Hami for a long time and would have had a few friends at least. As long as there was one person who felt that the killing was wrong , his friends’ friends will also stand on the opposing side. Hami Elementary School, elementary school means that this city is a huge network in a sense. If one node moves, the others will be implicated, not to mention Say that more than 200 nodes are moving together.
Aheqi's notice of peace and security did not have much effect. People in the city were still panicked, and they were very worried that soldiers would rush into their homes at the next moment, arrest them, and then find a place for the Han people to kill them.
Some people who are not afraid of death have gone to protest in front of the palace. There are no angry roars or bustling scenes. They all look at the palace gate in silence. However, this is a kind of pressure, and the whole palace can't bear it. .
Aheqi was circling back and forth in the main hall. The ministers in the hall lowered their heads one by one. No one could do anything. The Prime Minister stroked his beard and said: "This matter is too hasty. It is normal for some people to complain, but like this , I am worried that there will be someone behind me who will add fuel to the flames!"
"Who is it? Find it for me!"
The Prime Minister said: "That day when General Huo was cooking wine, someone saw Princess Anji appearing!"
"Oh?" Aheqi was stunned: "She is in the city?"
The Prime Minister shook his head: "I have sent people to search, but the chance of finding her is slim. Our princess has been running a wine shop and has friendships with many people in the city. If she wants to hide, it will be difficult to find her! Princess It's just a matter of getting angry. As long as the king ignores it, three to five days will pass. What I'm worried about now is that if General Su gets angry because of this matter, we..."
Aheqi stopped quickly: "The Prime Minister is right, what should I do now? Send someone to drive those people away immediately?"
The Prime Minister waved his hand: "Things have already happened. It would be wrong to drive away the rebellious king and arrest people. At this time, we should not drive away, but should stand with the people. It is best to let the Han envoy come forward and explain. Only by directing the anger of the people to the big man can we sit back and relax!"
Aheqi frowned: "Is this okay? Those Han people are not stupid!"
The Prime Minister smiled: "Since they did it, they should bear the consequences. General Su and the Han envoy are both sensible people, they won't mind!"
Aheqi was still hesitating. The Prime Minister continued: "Your Majesty, you must remember that Hami is your Majesty's Hami, and the people of Hami are your Majesty's people. Although we have surrendered to the Han Dynasty now, the Han Dynasty is thousands of miles away. Even in the future,
If the Han Dynasty can really send troops into the Western Region, this Hami will still belong to the king!"
Aheqi nodded slightly: "In that case, let the matter be handed over to the Prime Minister!"
Su Ren stayed up all night, his eyes were red. The matter of three thousand horse thieves is not a small matter. It is already a great thing to gather three thousand horse thieves in the desert and Gobi Desert. You must know that the Western Regions are not big men. Sometimes here
After walking for three days and three nights, there was no one in sight. The surrounding area was surrounded by long stretches of yellow sand, no different from where we originally set out.
In the Western Regions, when talking about the length of a journey, you don’t use the expression “to the next village or town.” The locals will raise their arms and point into the distance with one finger. They judge the distance of the journey based on the height of the arm raised. Generally speaking, if the straight stretch is used as
As a benchmark, every degree of elevation is only about a hundred miles. Being a horse thief in a place like this is a life-threatening business in itself.
When Su Ren learned that hundreds of Hami people had surrounded the palace, he frowned and turned to look at Han Qing: "This Aheqi can't even handle such a small thing? Killing a few people will arouse public anger?
"
Han Qing smiled slightly: "This is not a Han Dynasty. People in the Western Regions don't have much idea about royal power. Anyone with a strong fist will be the lord of a city. Xiao Jinzi killed more than two hundred people in one go, which is almost 10% of the population of Hami. No
A small number! In addition, from my perspective, there may be someone behind this matter."
"Oh? The Mo family hasn't been exterminated yet?"
Han Qing shook his head and said: "It's not the Mo family. Even if the Mo family is powerful, it can't have such a big impact in such a short period of time. Besides, we can't say that all of the people we killed, at least most of them. The Mo family suffered like this
Such a blow, even if they want to confuse the people, it is impossible!"
"Who is that?" Could it be Aheqi? Want to use the people to coerce us?
Han Qing smiled: "It's hard to say!"
While the two were discussing, a miserable cry came from the yard, and Lao Guolian from the Hami Kingdom came crawling in, followed by Huang Shisan and Man Niu. The old man had this ability, and they
The two fools couldn't do anything about it. After entering the door, the Prime Minister knelt on the ground and cried bitterly. Su Ren was very unhappy. He looked at the Prime Minister, then at Huang Shisan and Man Niu, and sighed.
He waved his hands at the two of them.
Han Qing quickly helped the Prime Minister up: "Why is the Prime Minister like this?"
The Prime Minister burst into tears: "General, help me, someone in Hami country is going to rebel, and my king's throne will not be guaranteed! If my king is expelled, I'm afraid what I discussed with the general at the beginning..."
Su Ren snorted coldly: "Who is so bold? The Hami Kingdom has just defeated three thousand horse thieves. With the power of victory, who else dares to rebel?"
The Prime Minister sighed: "Hey! I'm afraid the general doesn't know that my princess is back!"
"How dare she come back? Where is she now?"
The Prime Minister shook his head: "Princess Anji is the eldest princess of our Hami Kingdom, and her ex-husband was the general. When my king first came to the throne, he relied heavily on the merits of the eldest princess and the general. Although the general died in battle and had no heirs,
The eldest princess is quite prestigious both in the hearts of Hami people and in the army. As long as she has this intention, my king's throne is very likely..."
Su Ren glanced at Han Qing, who nodded slightly. Su Ren thought for a while: "Then find that woman! Do it immediately!"
Hami City appears to be calm on the surface, but in fact there is an undercurrent surging. Su Ren gave an order, both the Tiangang Disha hiding in the dark and the bodyguards on the surface were dispatched one after another. The goal was to kill the coquettish hotel girl.
The shopkeeper found it. After an afternoon of tracing, in a small place like Hami, it was not difficult for people who are very good at tracking.
Since someone had seen the eldest princess, they followed the clues and found Princess Anji in a butcher shop. Although Princess Anji was disguised and the butcher family tried their best to protect her, in front of the cold sword, Princess Anji still revealed her identity.
.This woman is really capable. Judging from the information traced, although this woman is a princess, she is still a princess who does not seem to have any rights. In fact, she is the leader of Hami’s secret forces. Princess Anji was arrested, Ah
Heqi took advantage of the situation and arrested all the people he was dissatisfied with. A storm bigger than arresting spies spread in Hami.
After hearing Luan Da's return, Mo Cong and Shao Weng sighed in unison. Su Ren has now controlled Hami, and it will be very difficult to attack at this time. This time, both of them brought their own manpower. If
The losses here are not worth it. The situation in the Western Region has been put in a precarious position by Su Ren. If the losses are too great, it will be very detrimental to the next plan.
Mo Cong said: "Brother Shao, what do you think?"
Shao Weng glanced at Mo Cong: "What does Brother Mo think?"
Mo Cong sighed: "What happened now is that we have to start over again! We are all here. If something happens to Shanshan Kingdom again, the consequences will be even worse!"
"Why, Brother Mo thinks Su Ren will send people to attack Shanshan Kingdom?"
"I won't attack you. Don't forget that King Shanshan is still here. If..."
Shao Weng sneered twice: "He's gone now!"
"Oh? Haha, Brother Shao is so clever!"
Shao Weng glanced at Hami City again, shook his head and sighed, and said to Luan Dadao: "Go down and disperse! Don't force it if you can't do it. Leave a few people who can reach out to keep an eye on it. As long as Su Ren leaves Hami, he will repay you immediately!"
Luan Da agreed and went down to prepare. The two old men stood high and looked up into the distance. The smoke of Hami City had not yet cleared, and the whole city was lifeless. They did not know that the city was now on the verge of collapse.
I will retreat, or at least wait for a while, wait until chaos breaks out in Hami, and then take the opportunity to attack, maybe there will be unexpected results.
When we came here, we walked through Bailongtan. There was no need to work so hard when we went back. Although Bailongtan is closer, it is also more dangerous. We walked around the edge of Bailongtan and walked back in disgrace. The weather was getting worse.
The warmer it gets, the more you walk, you will get hotter, and the thick clothes will no longer fit you. In order to keep cool, Shao Weng opened the curtain of the carriage to let some air out.
Just as he was about to arrive at Qianni City, he was suddenly blocked by a group of galloping cavalry. Shao Weng frowned: "Huh? Why did the cavalry from Qianni City leave the city?"
Mo Cong was shocked and hurriedly stuck his head out of the carriage. He only glanced at it and shouted to the driver: "Quickly, turn around and let's go!" (To be continued)
