Emperor Qin Ba Shi

Chapter 613 Ye County Descends

Attacking a city with fire is a matter that hurts nature and reason, and it is even more harmful to peace.

But it is also an important means of winning more with less, and it is also Hu Hai's only choice.

After all, the life and death of the Great Qin Empire is more important than hurting peace.

Even if he killed all the people in Handan, not as many people died in this troubled world.

Sometimes killing is also to save people.As for the victim, it can only be said that it was bad luck.

Therefore, Hu Hai would rather bear the eternal infamy, but also save the people of the city once to save the Great Qin Empire.

After all, he is the Lord of Great Qin, and he needs to be responsible for the safety of thousands of people in the Great Qin Empire.

This is his birthright responsibility!

At the order of Emperor Qin, the Black Ice Terrace and [-] cavalry that had been hidden in advance quickly assembled and surrounded Ye County.

When Qin Jun appeared in front of Ye County as if he had been born out of nowhere, Zhao Jun suddenly panicked.

"Your Majesty, do you want to attack immediately?" The deputy general said to Hu Hai with murderous intent in his eyes.

"Shout to Zhao Jun on the opposite side, those who surrender will not be killed, if they refuse to surrender, after the city is broken, no chickens or dogs will be left behind, I will massacre the city to warn the world!"

Hu Hai knew that there were only [-] defenders in Ye County on the opposite side, and the disparity in strength between the enemy and us was enough to defeat in a single battle.

And Tucheng, Hu Hai did have such an idea, after all, the Great Qin Empire was too gentle in the process of suppressing the rebellion.

In troubled times, heavy codes are used. This is the law of the ages, and Hu Hai is not strong enough to crush the law.

Only a hearty victory and a shocking massacre can make the people of the world fear the Great Qin Empire.

In the Book of Shang Jun, it is recorded the five arts of controlling the people, which are the imperial arts used by the superior to govern the country and rule the people of the world.

Hu Hai has always been a descendant of the Legalist School, and he is very proficient in the techniques of the Legalist School.

"Yes--!"

Nodding in agreement, the deputy general raised his long sword, shouted, and said: "Your Majesty has an order: call to Ye County: Those who surrender will not be killed, and those who refuse to surrender will be massacred!"

"Listen on the opposite side: Those who surrender will not be killed, and those who refuse to surrender will not be left behind after the city is broken—!"

The [-] troops shouted in unison, and the momentum was magnificent, which made the county magistrate of Ye County's face suddenly ugly.

He knew in his heart that now the Qin army appeared in Ye County, which meant that the Zhao state was over.

Heng Ren is just a small person, he has no idea of ​​being buried with Zhao Guo, so that at this time, when the Qin army is approaching forcefully, he is wavering in his heart.

What should be done, this made Hengyuan feel dizzy. At this time, on the one hand, he was loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and on the other hand, he was concerned about his wealth and life.

The balance was still in a balanced position at the beginning, but as time went by, it gradually shifted towards wealth and life.

In the troubled times, no one doesn't want to live. In the troubled times, it's the time when ordinary people are eager to survive.

"County magistrate, our army has only [-] old, weak, sick and disabled, and Handan is far away. Now that the Qin army is approaching the city, what should we do?"

At this moment, it is not only the magistrate who has no heart to fight, but also the magistrate.

No one is still brave enough to charge without fear of death even when they know they are going to die.

"County Lieutenant, given the current situation, what do you think is the possibility of our army defending Ye County without losing it?"

Hengyuan knew that no matter whether he stood firm or surrendered, he and the county lieutenant needed to work together.

Therefore, when his thoughts changed, he was testing the thoughts of the county lieutenant.

"My lord county magistrate, although the Qin army is only composed of cavalry, they far outnumber our army!"

"This battle is not about whether our army can hold it, but when our army can hold it until it will lose to the Qin army!"

Looking at the mighty army outside the city, the county lieutenant knew that this battle was basically an egg hitting a rock.

In his mind, there was no need for this battle at all.

"Come here, go and find out the morale of the army, and see how many people are desperately fighting to surround Yecheng!"

The county magistrate knew in his heart that no matter how he surrendered, he still had to do what he should do.

"only."

After a while, the county lieutenant came over with an ugly expression, but there was a hint of joy in the depths of his eyes.

"Reporting to the county magistrate, nine out of ten the army is unwilling to fight the Qin army to the death. We have no hope at all. Please make a decision from the county magistrate!"

The county magistrate knew in his heart that almost all of the three thousand old, weak, sick and disabled were natives of Ye County.

As soon as I heard that the Qin army would slaughter the city after the city was broken, I naturally didn't have the slightest idea of ​​resistance.

After all, no one is a fool who knows that he must die, but wants to die.

"call!"

The county magistrate and the county lieutenant looked at each other, the two nodded, and said, "Open the city gates to welcome Master Wang!"

"only!"

Nodding in agreement, the three thousand soldiers actually cheered at this moment, which made Hengyuan's face suddenly ugly.

In the end it was how unbearable Zhao's rule was that made the soldiers cheer for their surrender.

"Your Majesty, a white flag has been hoisted on the city wall, Zhao Jun is about to surrender!" The lieutenant general said to Hu Hai with a look of joy in his eyes.

At this time, no one wants to go down without a fight. Due to Hu Hai's reforms, in addition to beheading and recording merit, the Great Qin Empire has also broken cities and recorded merit.

Therefore, although the Qin army at this time was murderous, it was still the largest among all the troops on the land of the Central Plains.

But compared to the time of the first emperor, it was still somewhat restrained.

"Command the army into the city, guard the four gates, and after ensuring safety, I will enter the city again—!"

Watching the city gate open, Hu Hai was silent for a while before making a decision.

The lone army is hanging out, and Hu Hai knows that his safety is the biggest mission of this army.

Therefore, whether it is for the Great Qin Empire or for oneself, absolute safety must be guaranteed.

"Yes--!"

The deputy general also knew clearly that the safety of Emperor Qin was the most important thing, and only in this way could the attack on Zhao be considered a success.

"rumble.!"

After a while, Heng Yuan came out with a group of people and [-] troops to meet Qin Emperor Hu Hai.

Hengyuan knew that if the [-] troops didn't come out to greet him, it would inevitably arouse the suspicion of the Qin army. Since he had already surrendered, he had to do it thoroughly.

"Magistrate of Ye County, Hengyuan has seen His Majesty—!" At this moment, Hengyuan's attitude was extremely respectful.

Because he knows that people have to bow their heads under the eaves, and at this moment Qin Emperor Hu Hai decides his life and death.

"I've seen His Majesty—!" At the same time, the county lieutenant and others bowed solemnly to Hu Hai and said.

"Ha ha.!"

Laughing loudly, Emperor Qin stretched out his hand to the crowd, and said: "Everyone who loves you, abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and you will definitely rise to the top!"

"Vice general, take over the [-] troops and enter the city at the same time!"

"Yes--!"

At this time, Hu Hai was still very cautious. He knew that the land of Yanzhao had many strong men since ancient times, and it was a place with a strong spirit of rangers.

An assassination here is not necessarily impossible.
