Wei Wei did what he said, he immediately put groups of Wei soldiers into prison regardless of the pain, and even organized personal guards to act as allies.
That is to say, the disarmed Wei soldiers were used to maintain order, while the Qin soldiers only used their swords to guard.
But even so, Yang Duanhe was still worried. As mentioned before, there were 200,000 people.
Yang Duanhe promised Wei Wei at that time that it was just a temporary measure, and then he walked up and down the city. He said he was looking at the terrain, but he was actually considering whether to kill all the 200,000 people...
How could Wei Wei not be aware of this situation? While he was busy below, he secretly glanced in the direction of Yang Duan.
No wonder Wei Wei is so nervous.
If his plan succeeds, he will be a sinner forever.
Successfully, Wei Yao rescued these 200,000 Wei soldiers.
If he failed, Wei Yao would personally send these 200,000 Wei soldiers to the sword of the Qin army. He would be reviled by thousands of people in future generations and even become a laughing stock or a model of smart-aleck.
History is often like this. Later generations will evaluate their predecessors with the mentality and perspective of "the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit".
Shen Bing couldn't bear to see Wei Wei like that, but at the same time he did something for Daliang.
So we got together.
When Wei Wei saw Shen Bing coming up, he hurriedly handed over his hand to show caution...the slightest movement caused the arrow wound on his body and made him shudder.
The general of a country had to salute a small soldier, which made Shen Bing feel a little sad.
Shen Bing comforted in a low voice:
"General, there is no need to be like this. I have no ill intentions."
"General, if you want to save your subordinates, you can compile a list of their families and gather them together."
"This is to put someone to death and live later. The general should understand this."
Wei Wei immediately looked at Shen Bing in shock. He was stunned for a while before nodding:
"Hey, why didn't I think of this?"
"If the family members of the Wei soldiers are compiled and gathered together, then the Wei soldiers..."
There is no need to say more about the next words. Wei Wei bowed his hands to Shen Bing and said:
"Thank you for your advice, I will never forget it..."
Shen Bing waved his hand and walked away. As a surrendered general of the Qin and Wei armies, it was not good for him to say anything.
Wei Wei also understood this, so he didn't chase after him, but just looked at Shen Bing a few more times.
Then Wei Yao got busy, turned around and said to his bodyguard:
"Quickly, go to the county office and get the list."
"The sooner the better!"
In fact, the household registration system was not only implemented in the Qin State. Other countries also had registration, but they were not as rigorous as the Qin State.
These registers are usually kept at the county government for tax collection purposes. Fortunately, although they were flooded, most of them were well preserved. It took only half an hour for the guards to transport the registers by carloads.
In fact, this is suspected of being fraudulent, otherwise the selection of the roster of 200,000 people would not have been completed within half an hour.
But this is not the point. The point is that Wei Wei wants to dispel Yang Duanhe's last concern.
And fast.
Otherwise, once Yang Duanhe makes up his mind, it will be of no use even if he brings up the roster.
Then Wei Wei hurriedly ran up to the city and knelt in front of Yang Duanhe:
"General, Wei Wei has taken all the Wei troops into custody and awaits the general's departure."
"In addition, Wei Yao also collected a roster of 200,000 Wei soldiers' family members..."
As he spoke, he looked in the direction of the dozens of carts of bamboo slips under the city, then turned back and continued:
"Wei Wei plans to gather Wei Bing's family members together as hostages."
"Please allow me, General!"
Yang Duanhe looked down at the city, and then he completely let go of the stone hanging in his heart.
You must know that this is the list of Wei Bing's family members. If Wei Bing's family members are gathered together as hostages as Wei Wei said, it is enough to let Wei Bing go out to fight the Chu army. Then there is no need to worry about their rebellion? Is it still necessary to behead them?
It was only then that Yang Duanhe was sure that Wei Wei was sincere in surrendering to Qin.
Otherwise, Wei Wei would not and did not need to take the initiative to send the roster.
In fact, this is where Shen Bing is so powerful. If he had said this, I am afraid it would not have had the same effect. However, if it came from Wei Wei, a general of Wei, it would be completely different.
Yang Duanhe nodded and helped Wei Wei up in a friendly manner:
"Why does General Wei need to be so polite?"
"I'll leave this matter to you!"
Wei Wei hurriedly thanked her, and then a big stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.
Secretly, the two hundred thousand Wei soldiers finally saved their lives.
In fact, Yang Duanhe was right, and Wei Wei sincerely submitted to Qin.
First of all, Wei Yao's old skills certainly knew that when the Chu army besieged the city, the Qin army would have no choice but to repeat the killing of 400,000 Zhao troops in Changping.
Choose life or death, the answer is self-evident.
And if you want to choose life, you must be devoted to Da Qin and not be careless at all.
So Wei Yao actually had no choice but to do this.
Secondly, Wei Wei has given up on Wei.
Especially after learning that Xi Cheng was executed by the King of Wei for shouting out the sentence "The king does not love people but loves dogs, and the general is loyal but has no door"...
It's funny to say that Wei Wei and Shicheng, a pedantic old scholar, couldn't get along at all on weekdays, but during the collapse of the beam, they became close friends.
But at this time, Xicheng was killed for just telling the truth. Looking back on all the previous experiences, is there anything else in Wei that he deserves to miss?
So Wei Yao didn't think too much and surrendered! He surrendered with all his heart!
The reason why I say "it can be considered sincere" is because Wei Wei did this more for the sake of the 200,000 surrendered troops.
Otherwise, with Wei Wei's personality, it would be impossible for him to bow his head in front of the enemy.
After getting off the city, Wei Wei watched Shen Bing and his men busy near the granary from a distance, and asked his bodyguard:
"Do you know the doctor's name?"
The guard looked at it and replied:
"The general is talking about a man who is stingy with his work and a soldier who is cheap?"
Wei Wei said curiously:
"How do you know his name is Shen Bing?"
The guard handed over his hand and replied:
"General, he was the one who built waterwheels in Zhao State and overturned them to cure drought."
"This matter has been spread for a long time."
Wei Wei said "oh" when he heard this.
He had also heard about this matter. After all, the State of Wei was adjacent to the State of Zhao, and the overturning of waterwheels was a major water conservancy matter. The State of Wei even had laws to regulate it.
It's just that Wei Yao didn't connect the two.
Wei Wei looked in Shen Bing's direction and nodded slowly:
"It turns out it's him. He's really witty."
"This time I surrender to Qin... I'm afraid I did it right!"
After Daliang City settled down, the Qin army quickly turned its focus to outside the city.
Of course, the Qin army would not be as stupid as the Wei army to concentrate all its forces in the city and wait for the Chu army to attack.
If this is the case, then the Chu army will just follow the gourd's example and flood the main beam.
The strength of the Qin army was 30,000 inside the city and 70,000 outside the city.
Of the 30,000 in the city, 20,000 were used to guard the city walls and 10,000 were used to maintain public order and guard the prisoners.
The 70,000 troops outside the city spread out to occupy various strategic locations and used the water network to set up their positions.
At this time, engineers like Shen Bing were the busiest. They collected all available wood to make trebuchets.
