When the familiar sound of Chu came from the ship, the crossbowmen lowered their crossbows and looked into the distance curiously. However, they still remained on guard because there were also Qin people who told the story of Chu's sound in the Qin State.
Most of these people are from Nanjun. After Nanjun was captured by the Qin people, the Chu people here became Qin people. The official language is of course Qin language, but the "dialect" of the people is still Chu.
The Qin people with Chu accents in these words killed the Chu people without mercy. Qin's military system will not distinguish what accent you speak, even if you are Xirong or Qiang, as long as you can serve Qin.
On the battlefield, if you cut off the enemy's head, you can still be promoted. This also shows the inclusiveness of the Qin State. Outside the Qin State, xenophobia is very serious. This kind of xenophobia is not manifested at the top, but at the top.
It is very common to appoint wise men from other countries to serve as state ministers.
This kind of xenophobia is mainly manifested at the bottom. For example, after the Zhao State conquered many areas in Linhu, the Zhao people who migrated there were unwilling to contact the local Hu people, and no one would recommend them to serve as officials. Even if they were recruited as soldiers, they would also
Generals were sent from other regions of the Zhao State to take command. Of course, there was also a chain of contempt in the Qin State. For example, the old Qin people looked down on the new Qin people, but there was no special treatment. No matter who they were, no matter where they came from, they had equal opportunities to be promoted.
.
Gradually, the people on the boats revealed their true colors. They were not wearing armor or carrying weapons. They just stood on the boats in fear and shouted at the Chu people along the coast. They were afraid that they would be attacked by their own people.
Shoot. Jingyang squinted his eyes, looking at these unarmed people, and did not order to shoot. When the boat approached the coast, some Chu people jumped out of the boat excitedly, half of their bodies falling into the water.
inside.
They ran towards the shore, cutting through the water with their bodies, creating splashes of water, and ran up the shore, all wet.
"Don't come near!" A general shouted at them, and the soldiers raised their crossbows again and aimed them at them. These people did not dare to go any further and just shouted: "I am from Chu! I am from Jing."
Under General Yang’s command, the king’s soldiers are A and Gu and B are two-step soldiers, Dong Kui!!”
"I am the soldier of Fanyang County, Lujia, Dingshijia, Wugongzi!!"
"I am Jiao Junliang Sima Hu!!"
These people explained their identities. There were royal soldiers, county soldiers, private soldiers, and regular soldiers. Those Chu people who were wary of them looked at them seriously, and some recognized them. Some soldiers shouted:
"Hu! I recognize him! It's really him!" Jingyang, surrounded by his soldiers, walked towards them. When he found out that the person coming was General Jingyang, the soldiers who were sent were even more excited.
"How did the second and third sons come back?"
"It was Mr. Wu An who let us go."
"Um???"
They were just the first group of people. Jingyang asked people to take them away and dry their bodies. Then he asked about everything in detail. The soldiers told him that the Qin people did not kill the prisoners. All the prisoners were killed.
The prisoners were released, and they were the first batch. After them, there were many soldiers who were preparing to come back. Jingyang frowned, listening to their excited words, he never thought that he could return to his hometown.
.
Bai Qi released the prisoners? Jingyang didn't believe it. This must be a treacherous plot by the Qin people. Maybe they mixed the Qin people among these prisoners, hoping to hide there and then take the opportunity to collude with Bai Qi... Jingyang
He asked people from various ministries to come and recognize them, and also ordered them to be wary of the returning Chu people. He was afraid that these people had been bribed by Bai Qi. After them, as expected, the ships came back again and brought back a lot of people.
Chu people.
Jingyang arranged for his soldiers to be ready at any time to deal with the enemy's attack, and also sent people to carefully verify the identities of the returning Chu people. Some Chu people could not prove their identities at all, because most of their comrades died in the battle, including them.
The generals of Chu State also died in battle. Chu State did not have a strict household registration system like Qin State, so there was no way to verify it. Moreover, Chu State's military system was in chaos and it was impossible to investigate.
"General... I am really a soldier of Xiacai County... We are all the same, and the rest of our colleagues have died in the battle... You can send people to Xiacai to ask, our family members are all in Xiacai
...", the soldiers said tremblingly, Jingyang smiled, nodded, and said: "Okay, I will send someone to ask." He waved his hand and said to the warriors around him: "
Take them back to have a good rest and wait for news from Xiacai."
The Chu people were very happy, bowed to Jingyang, and then left.
The next day, no one discovered that the few soldiers who came from Xia Cai but could not prove themselves had disappeared.
Jingyang secretly killed those prisoners whose identities could not be found. Because the identities could not be found, others did not recognize them. They only had a vague impression. In an army of hundreds of thousands, the disappearance of some people would not cause any confusion at all.
Attractive.
The soldiers who came back may have resentment in their hearts. After all, the Chu State did not redeem them with food. However, after they were freed from the threat of death, they were only excited and happy in their hearts, and the resentment in their hearts did not burst out.
.When they were sitting in front of the campfire to warm themselves up, a soldier finally asked them quietly: "I heard that Bai Qi was violent, how could he let the second and third sons go?"
"This is all because of Ma Fujun... The second and third sons don't know that the reason why the Qin State went to war was not to kill people or to dominate. They wanted to save the world and prevent the world from war... Ma Fujun said: Only
One King of the World..." These captives began to talk about the education they had received from the Qin people. After being released by the Qin people, they unknowingly believed in the so-called One King of the World.
They dreamed of saying: "With one king in the world, everyone can get arable land, there will be no corvee, taxes are very light, anyone can bear it, everyone can have enough to eat, and there is no need to fear death on the battlefield..."
The Chu soldiers' eyes widened and they listened blankly as they told them about a brand new world.
.......
Wei Wuji led the soldiers of Zhao State and quickly crossed Danshui, and then encountered the Qin army commanded by Wang Ling. Wang Ling brought reinforcements from Xianyang, plus the soldiers of Shangdang, the number was only more than 60,000.
People, he took advantage of the opportunity when Wei Wuji had just crossed Danshui and the whole army was tired, and launched an attack. However, he met Wei Wuji. With his back against Danshui, Wei Wuji personally led the chariot troops to tear apart the opponent's central army.
, the whole army attacked fiercely, and actually defeated Wang Ling, who retreated to Guanglang City.
Bai Qi ordered Meng Wu to attack Deng City with a partial division, defeated Chu's remaining troops, and recaptured the city. Meng Wu continued to lead the partial division northward, swaggering through South Korea's territory, and blocked the Wei army at Changshe who was about to rush to Shangdang.
, the two sides fought, and the Wei army was defeated and retreated to Xinzheng.
The two sides fought on a front line of nearly a thousand miles, which made Bai Qi a little excited. He led the main army of the Chu State to prepare for an all-out attack along the Ru River, and the Qin State army was ready to move.
Jingyang, the general of the Chu State, was a little worried at the moment. He was a little happy at first, because Bai Qi sent back these prisoners, making the Chu State's army once again reach the size of 300,000. He was no longer afraid of Bai Qi.
However, he did not expect that after those prisoners returned to Chu, they began to shake the morale of the entire Chu army. They openly talked about Ying Kuo's heresy and vigorously praised Qin's "benevolent government."
What kind of world is ruled by law, what kind of world is ruled by one king? What they told is clear and logical. The common people of Chu State who were usually illiterate turned into devout disciples of Ma Fujun. They murmured Ma Fujun’s ideas of great unification and said that they and Qin
It is a sinful act for people to fight against each other, just to satisfy the selfish desires of the nobles. Jingyang, who is always watching them, naturally knew these things at the first time.
He immediately ordered that the whole army was not allowed to talk about Zhao Kuo, and those who violated it would be killed.
Later, he beheaded several Chu soldiers who once again talked about one king and the world. However, he did not expect that his actions almost triggered a rebellion. Those Chu soldiers who returned actually accused him of his brutal behavior in person.
Some soldiers shouted angrily: "Qin pardon me, Chu kill me!" More soldiers began to agree with him, complaining that Chu was unwilling to use grain to redeem themselves. Isn't his life worse than some grain?
Some people say that they actually began to starve after returning to Chu State. They were captured by the Qin people and did not suffer from hunger at all!
Jingyang looked at these soldiers in horror and was speechless.
At this time, Bai Qi launched a full-scale attack across the river. The Qin people's ships attacked the coast, and the flying arrows were overwhelming. Jingyang was fully prepared. However, when the two sides encountered each other in a battle, the Chu army actually
On the verge of collapse, the soldiers did not hold on for a moment before they began to flee. Jingyang stared dumbfounded at the large number of defeated troops emerging in front of him. He had already seen that the source of the defeated troops was the prisoners released by the Qin people.
..
Jingyang quickly evacuated Shangcai and retreated to Chengyang with a large number of main forces.
It's ridiculous to say that this ridiculous rout was actually the war with the lowest cost since the war between Chu and Qin. Chu had almost no casualties. As soon as the two sides came into contact, the Chu army fled, completely without any fighting spirit.
When Jingyang gathered his defeated troops and arrived at Chengyang, he found that tens of thousands of people were missing. These people had all deserted, and some of them surrendered directly to the Qin people.
Bai Qi crossed the Ru River and couldn't help but laugh when he saw the Chu prisoners who had honestly put down their weapons and were waiting for the Qin people to capture them.
Those Qin people who were originally reluctant to treat prisoners preferentially understood the benefits of treating prisoners preferentially at this moment. They stepped forward with smiles, accepted the prisoners, gave them some food, and gave them some Chu version.
"Ma Fu Shu", then they were sent away, and the captives of Chu State looked at them reluctantly. Because of the lack of food in Chu State, they could not even have enough food in Chu State... But here in Qin State, it was the same
Can eat enough.
"Is there a Chu soldier who wants to join us?" Bai Qi looked at his lieutenant in a daze. The lieutenant nodded and scratched his head in confusion. This was the first time he had seen such a thing. Bai Qi was silent for a moment and then
Said: "Then let them stay..."
After the deputy general left, Bai Qigang picked up Zhao Kuo's bamboo slips. He held the bamboo slips tightly, "This is war... This is killing the enemy...", with a look in his eyes.
With all his energy coming, at this moment, he was really looking forward to meeting Zhao Kuo. This Ma Fujun told him a way to kill the enemy faster. It was a kind of psychological destruction, far better than destroying the body.
To be even more terrifying.
Jingyang was not discouraged. He had understood that those Chu soldiers released by the Qin people had lost their fighting spirit. If they were left in the army, they would only cause a great rout. Understanding this, Jingyang sent those Chu soldiers who had returned
People were selected from the army and ordered to return to their hometowns to farm. According to Jingyang, this was a reward for them and they could go home and reunite with their families.
Jingyang's move made these Chu people less dissatisfied. Jingyang quickly reorganized his army, leaving only those elites who still had fighting spirit and could fight the Qin people, reducing the bloated army of 300,000.
The number reached 100,000, but the Chu army did not lose its combat effectiveness because of this. On the contrary, it was strengthened. The prisoners all left the battlefield and walked toward the territory of Chu in dense numbers.
Standing at the top of the city, Jingyang looked at the leaving soldiers... He sighed. He was not stupid. He had already discovered Bai Qi's plan. These people would definitely cause trouble if they went to various places in the Chu Kingdom.
For more serious consequences, they will tell the villagers about Zhao Kuo's heresy. However, Jingyang has no other way. These people staying here will only reduce the combat effectiveness of the Chu army. No, it will directly cause the Chu army to
's defeat.
Jingyang had no way to make them forget those heresies, and it was even less possible for Jingyang to kill them. These were all Chu people, and no one wanted to brutally massacre his own people, not to mention that these hundreds of thousands of people were the national strength of the Chu state.
He also has his own family and fellow villagers. If he kills them, it will have a greater impact on Chu State and may lead to rebellion. Jingyang is at a loss what to do. He can only tell Chun Shenjun this news, hoping that Chun Shen Jun can
There is a way to solve it.
He has a more important mission, he has to stop Bai Qi.
Afterwards, Bai Qi launched an attack again, dividing his troops into four groups and attacking from four directions toward the hinterland of Chu State. Jingyang blocked it with all his strength, and the two sides became entangled. Jingyang was defeated repeatedly and kept retreating, but
He never bowed to Bai Qi, and finally blocked Bai Qi's rapid offensive.
Xianyang, inside the palace
"Now, it's time to send envoys to Chu to negotiate peace... Our strategic goal has been perfectly achieved. Chu has no food and dare not continue to confront Qin. If they accept Qin's peace negotiation, then we can rest assured
Attacking the Three Jins, the Chu State ignored the war between the Three Jins and negotiated a peace with us privately. The six-nation alliance that the Chu State wanted to maintain immediately collapsed..." Fan Ju said with a sneer.
"If the Chu State does not agree to negotiate peace and still wants to maintain the Six-Nation Alliance, then Chu State's food shortage problem will become more serious. As long as we reveal Qin's intention to negotiate peace, the Chu people will want to stop the war, and the soldiers will
If they lose their fighting power, the people will also scold the King of Chu, Huang Xie... And the heart-attacking strategy implemented by Lord Wu An will completely explode, and the Chu Kingdom will not be far from destruction..."
Fan Ju always likes to accomplish more with one stone when doing things. King Qin listened to his analysis and nodded with a smile.
"How's it going with Mr. Ma Fu?"
"He set up medical officers in the State of Zhao..." Fan Ju seriously told the King of Qin about the medical officer system implemented by Zhao Kuo in the State of Zhao. The King of Qin nodded and said: "Very good, please implement it in Qin as soon as possible.
If Zhao Guopu spreads the disease to counties, then we must spread it to villages! Each township has medical officers according to different symptoms... If there are not enough medical officers, then speed up the training and follow the system of training craftsmen!"
"only."
ps: If Ersanzi doesn’t give me a monthly ticket, I will kill Ma Fujun.
