Chapter 43: Qin State is not ready for unification
Qin Yiren kept hypnotizing himself. Seeing the Qin army rushing forward like a wolf or a tiger, he still couldn't bear it and shouted: "Kill the sperm! Don't kill the old and the weak!"
"Young Master is right, kill the sperm!" Wang Ling immediately agreed and ordered loudly.
The current situation is that the Qin army is forced to kill and still does not want to attack the elderly and weak. For those strong, they can be killed.
The Qin army and the Zhao army quickly collided with each other, with blood splattering and the remaining limbs thrown away. Many Zhao army and Zhao people died under the Qin army's sword.
Compared with the Qin army, these Zhao people were just beggars. They wanted weapons but no weapons, armor but no armor, and no training. They lacked strength. They were not opponents of the Qin army. In this round of battle, the Zhao people suffered many casualties.
Fortunately, the Qin army faithfully implemented the military order that only killed the strong and strong. Most of the dead were strong. The elderly, weak, women and children died very little, and only a few died when they failed, but not many.
Above the battle formation, there is no eyebrow for swords and swords. Although the Qin army has no intention of killing the old and the weak, they cannot avoid mistakes.
The Qin army mostly controlled these old and weak, so they pushed them aside.
It was a completely overwhelming advantage. The Qin army was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. Its efforts were made to defeat the Zhao people step by step.
"Okay! That's it!" Wang Ling saw it and shouted loudly.
As long as you kill the strongest people among the Zhao people, it will be easy. I believe these Zhao people will retreat.
"Give orders quickly and control these old and weak." Qin Yiren's eyes rolled and he immediately had an idea.
These old and weak cannot be killed, just control them. With the powerful combat power of the Qin army, it is no problem to control these old and weak. Wang Ling was overjoyed and said, "Good idea! Just do it!"
After the military order was passed, the Qin army began to control the old and weak. These old and weak had no power to fight back and were soon controlled by the Qin army. As long as this continues, the Qin army will soon be able to control the 100,000 people of Zhao. By then, Handan will be defeated. Wang Ling was very happy, roaring with a mountain to command the Qin army's actions.
However, the sudden change caused Wang Ling's plan to fail.
"We are Zhao people, and we will never surrender!" An old man with white hair and beard panted and shouted loudly: "Do we have no way to do anything if we don't kill us? The tiger and wolf Qin people are delusions! If the tiger and wolf Qin people do not kill us, we will commit suicide!"
The old man resolutely hit a stone. He tried too hard, his head cracked, his brain splashed, and his twitched for a while, and he no longer had a breath.
"The tiger, wolf, Qin people dare not kill us, so we commit suicide and use our lives to stop the tiger, wolf, Qin people!" The controlled Zhao people responded in unison, very resolutely. Some bit their tongues, some choke their throats, and some knocked their heads. Dozens of people died in just one breath.
"You..." Qin Yiren was completely stunned, his eyes almost fell off.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it even if he hadn't beaten to death. Zhao Ren was tough and liared.
"This..." Wang Ling opened his mouth wide and couldn't speak for a long time.
"The Zhao people are tough and fierce!" Wang Ling looked at them and saw that the Zhao people who were controlled were very determined and wanted to seek death, so he had to sigh: "Let them go!"
After the Qin army got the order, they had to let go of these Zhao people, all of whom were confused.
Qin Yiren was also puzzled and asked loudly: "Why are you seeking death? Why?"
"We are Zhao people, and we will never surrender!"
"We are descendants of King Wuling, and we will never bow our heads to the tiger, wolf, Qin people!"
Zhao raised his head and his chest, and was very proud.
King Wuling of Zhao was the banner of Zhao. It was precisely because of him that Zhao became powerful and became a first-class Warring States Period and could resist Qin. For the people of Zhao, King Wuling of Zhao was a god, and they were proud of the descendants of King Wuling of Zhao.
"King Wuling of Zhao is really a hero!" King Wuling of Zhao has been dead for decades, and his influence is still there. The people of Zhao still regard him as a god. If life is like this, what regrets does Qin Yi feel?
"What exactly do you want?" Wang Ling was so depressed that he was crazy.
He had never encountered such a difficult Zhao people like he was in his life. In the past, the Qin army would be so happy to kill anyone who resisted him. However, there were so many elderly, weak women and children at present, and no matter how hard Wang Ling was, he could not be so cruel.
In fact, it is very simple to solve this problem. You just need to grit your teeth and be ruthless, and kill the Zhao people. The problem is that no one can be ruthless.
"We won't care if you withdraw from Handan and from Zhao." The Zhao people insisted very much.
The Qin army could not accept this condition, and Wang Ling said decisively: "No!"
"You don't accept it unless we die!" Zhao Ren's answer was very firm, making people dare not question it at all.
"Liang Po, call Zhao Dan!" Qin Yiren raised his eyebrows and shouted at Lian Po.
King Xiaocheng of Zhao is a corrupt person. As long as he bows his head, I believe these Zhao people will not be so determined anymore.
"No!" Lian Po knew King Xiaocheng very well. If he arrived here, he would be scared and might surrender to Qin. Then Zhao would be over.
"If you don't ask him to come, we will kill them all!" Wang Ling gritted his teeth and shouted: "We have been tolerant again and again. Don't think we really dare not kill? Lian Po, you know that the Qin Dynasty is determined to win Handan. Even if blood flows into a river and corpses accumulate like mountains, we will not retreat. If you really want to persist, then let the bones fill Handan!"
"Tiger, wolf, Qin people!" Lian Po of course knew that Qin was determined to win Handan and must destroy Zhao. If he was really forced to do so, the Qin army could completely wipe out Handan. If that was the case, Handan would definitely turn into ruins. How many people could survive?
"Brothers: These Zhao Gou are so self-righteous. They think that their pursuit of death can stop the Qin Ruis. That is a delusion!" Wang Ling began to speak loudly, and said in his voice like thunder: "I order you..."
"Wait!" Lian Po's eyes were wide open, his eyes almost fell off, and he gritted his teeth: "Wait."
Wang Ling is a murderer. It is not impossible for him to make up his mind and issue a massacre order. Lian Po had to give in.
"Go! invite the emperor." Lian Po ordered a general Zhao.
"No!" The general Zhao hurriedly took the order and left.
"You won't really want to kill me, are you?" Meng Ao whispered in Wang Ling's ear.
"I... don't know." Wang Ling shook his head.
"What are you saying?" Meng Ao was puzzled.
"General Meng, you don't know anything. General Wang is very conflicted. He is so fierce, he is just acting. Maybe the orders he issued may be the opposite of it." Qin Yiren explained.
"I can't understand why Zhao Gou is seeking death and wants to live and die with Handan?" Wang Ling looked confused.
Wang Ling fought for war all his life and dealt with the Zhao army a lot. Although the Zhao army was good at fighting, it was not as good as it is now. Once the war was unfavorable, the Zhao army would retreat, and the Zhao people were also afraid of death. In this situation, the Zhao people were not afraid of death at all. Even if they were controlled by the Qin army, they would seek death by themselves.
This problem not only stumped Wang Ling, but also stumped Meng Ao, Huang Shigong and Wei Liao, all of them were unclear.
"I'm thinking about this problem too." Qin Yiren pondered: "There are two reasons: one is that although the general trend of the world is in Qin and the unification is gradually becoming, the world has not yet had a single mind; the other is that the Qin Dynasty is not ready for unification."
This was hard to understand. Wang Ling shouted, "Young Master, what do you mean? In the Changping War, the Qin Dynasty wiped out 500,000 elite troops in Zhao State, and Shandong no longer had any resistance. This was a good opportunity to unify the world. The Qin Dynasty worked hard for this for a hundred years, so why did the Qin Dynasty not be prepared for unification again?"
"Yes, yes!" Everyone immediately agreed.
"Do you think that unifying the world is to rely on Qin soldiers to block the east and kill the forces and eliminate those resistance forces? Your idea is too naive." Qin Yiren rolled his eyes and said, "Is it so easy to unify the world? That's right, the Changping War allowed the Qin Dynasty to clear the last obstacles and the general situation was in Qin's hands. But does the world recognize the Qin Dynasty? Look at these Zhao people, they kept silent. I am a Zhao person, and I am the descendant of King Wuling. This is because they do not recognize the Qin."
Qin Yiren's tone turned higher and said, "If you don't recognize the Great Qin, don't think of unifying the world!"
Wang Ling, Meng Ao and Huan Qiong were military generals, and they still didn't understand these political matters and pondered without saying a word.
Huang Shigong and Wei Liao felt enlightened.
Wang Jian took off his helmet, his eyes were particularly bright, like the scorching sun above the nine heavens, and he loudly agreed: "What the young master said is very reasonable. The Qin Dynasty has been fighting for a hundred years and finally won the world's general trend, but the time was too short and it did not turn this general trend into a unified trend. If you want to talk about unification now, it is too hasty."
"Wang Jian is worthy of being Wang Jian!" Qin Yiren praised him and his eyes slipped around Wang Jian.
The reason why Wang Jian was chosen by Qin Shihuang as the chief general to unify the world was that he had a political vision that others could not reach, and his words at this time reflected his political wisdom very well.
"What should I do if my husband thinks it should be done?" Wang Jian's eyes flashed and he asked Qin Yiren for advice.
"The current situation is that people have no one mind, and it is not the time to unify." Qin Yiren thought, "The reason why people have no one mind is that the Emperor of Zhou is still there and the world has a master. Although the Zhou family is insignificant and no one takes Zhou family seriously, Zhou family still has great righteousness and status, and is still the common ruler of the world. As long as the world has a master, the world will not recognize the Great Qin and will not have a one mind. According to my opinion, the Great Qin should destroy Zhou first and then wipe out the six kingdoms."
"Destroy Zhou?" Wang Ling and the others looked surprised.
For generals like Wang Ling, they were very disdainful of Zhou Shi, because Zhou Shi was extremely declining and no one would take it seriously. If Qin Yiren had not mentioned it, they would have forgotten Zhou Shi.
"What the young master said is very true." Huang Shi Gong and Wei Liao agreed very much.
"As long as the Zhou family is still there, there will be a master in the world. This is righteousness and fame, and no one can shake it!" Huang Shigong's eyes shone with a wise light.
"The Qin State is not ready to unify the world at the moment. If it is to force unification, it will inevitably cost a huge price. This is proof." Wei Liao pointed to Zhao Ren who was gritting his teeth at the Qin army and said, "They would rather die than defend Handan."
"Young Master, tell me how we can deal with the current situation?" Wang Ling didn't understand the conversation between Wei Liao and Huang Shigong and others. He was concerned about the current situation in Handan.
