my grandfather was qin shi huang

This was the first time that he faced a war between two different nations so intuitively and clearly.

There is no so-called benevolence and morality, and there is no such affection. There is only a life-and-death struggle for survival.

Moreover, under the existing productivity, this contradiction is almost irreconcilable. Therefore, since ancient times, the war between the Central Plains and Mobei has almost never stopped.

And, every time it was extremely cruel.

When they were strong, they slaughtered villages and destroyed cities, drank horses from the Yangtze River, and filled the Central Plains with mourning. Even people were no longer human beings, but two-legged sheep. When we were proud, we chased the dead to the north, sealed the wolves in their homes, and built up the landscape. To prevent them from going south to herd horses!

The Huns wanted their people to survive and their children and people to live a better life, so they mounted their horses, waved their scimitars, and rushed towards the unarmed group of people in the Central Plains who were just like them. Bitter innocent people.

Steal their last ration of food to survive.

If possible, they would even be more willing to ride south and rob them of everything, including land, wealth, women, and even lives, to fight for more fertile land and a more comfortable living space for their people!

Zhao Ying had no desire to reason with anyone. Living in this era, he just wanted to fulfill his obligations as the eldest grandson of the Emperor of Qin.

"Then treat others in their own way..."

Zhao Ying waved his hand, but his voice contained no emotion or anger.

If possible, he would certainly not want to imitate these people and wield the butcher knife in his hand, but he could not put the brothers who followed him in danger for the sake of them and his own wife's benevolence.

Since you can't keep it, just kill it!

Zhao Ying's words made everyone feel shocked. Only Zhang Liang glanced at the emperor's eldest grandson with a complicated look. The emperor's eldest grandson, who had sharp eyes and looked like a god of war, struggled for a moment, but in the end he quietly took back half of his steps.

Zhao Gao, who had been taken by Zhao Ying, his eyelids moved slightly, and then he buried his head deeply.

……

Different from Li Xin and even Fusu Wang Ben and others, when he just received the news that Zhao Ying had defeated the Pubu Department, Chen Ping, who was behind with auxiliary troops to hold down the battle, was still in high spirits.

But when he heard that Zhao Ying and others had struck out with lightning overnight and defeated Qiemo and Dangtian, his whole face suddenly changed!

"not good!"

Without saying a word, he threw all the auxiliary soldiers to Mengce without saying a word of explanation. He waved his whip and rushed out of the team, heading in the direction of Khotan, all the way away.

What's going on——

Emperor Sun Dasheng, you don’t have to be so excited.

Li Xin, Wang Li and others, who had just arrived at Jiupu, threw away the auxiliary troops and were marching towards Qiemo, looked back and saw Chen Ping chasing after him like a gust of wind as if his buttocks had been burned by fire. Everyone was a little confused. .

I don’t know why Chen Ping is so crazy——

But Chen Ping had no intention of explaining at all.

Like a whirlwind, it passed by them in an instant, leaving behind a trail of smoke and dust.

"Something's wrong-"

Looking at Chen Ping's running back, Li Xin looked a little serious. Chen Ping is not only a man of outstanding ability, but also a confidant of His Highness the Emperor Changsun. He is also almost the number one schemer of His Highness.

He is loyal to His Highness and is highly valued by His Highness.

His face was so serious, maybe something was not simple.

"Quick, follow at full speed!"

Although they didn't know why Chen Ping was so nervous, Li Xin and Wang Li realized that something was wrong, and immediately ordered an army of more than 1 people to instantly activate the rush mode.

But an army is an army, and its walking speed cannot keep up with Chen Ping's speed of one person and two horses.

He could only watch Chen Ping gradually disappear from his sight.

Li Xin and Wang Li couldn't help but look at each other, and both saw the uneasiness in each other's eyes. Chen Ping has always been resourceful and steady, but there is something wrong with his actions today.

But the only thing that can be done is to catch up as much as possible!

Hurry up!

"Drive, drive, drive -"

The cold wind blew against his face, making it difficult for him to open his eyes. He leaned on his horse and galloped wildly, wishing he could add a few more legs to the horse beneath him.

There is only one thought in mind.

Faster, faster, faster!

Jiupu.

And the end.

Khotan!

The three tribes were all located at the foot of Wushaoling and Lenglong Ridge, almost on the same straight line. As Chen Ping walked along, he saw that wherever he went, the Xiongnu's wolf flag had long since disappeared, replaced by the Great Qin The majestic black dragon flag of the empire.

The black black bird fluttered in the wind, and the black-armored soldiers stood solemnly.

This land changed its owner overnight.

But in Chen Ping's eyes, the excitement when he just got the news was no longer there. His lips were pursed tightly, and his eyes were filled with unspeakable anxiety.

"drive--"

Subconsciously, he urged the war horse under his crotch again.

Finally, at sunset, Kankan arrived in Khotan!

Arriving at the Chinese army's tent, I just slipped off the horse and swayed. Before I could stand upright, I heard Zhang Han's request for instructions and Zhao Ying's cold and calm voice inside.

"Then treat others in their own way..."

Suddenly I felt relieved.

Fortunately, there is still time!

"My lord, absolutely not!"

Before Chen Pingren went in, he shouted outside.

Zhao Ying couldn't help but be startled and looked at the door of the tent with some surprise.

Chen Ping!

why did he come here--

"Lord, you must not—"

Chen Ping staggered up to Zhao Ying, bowed deeply, then raised his head and looked at Zhao Ying in front of him seriously.

Zhao Ying looked at Chen Ping, who was tired and shaky when he walked. He forced himself to walk in front of him and tried to persuade him. His face couldn't help but be slightly moved.

It was obvious that Chen Ping must have been in a hurry along the way.

"There's no rush. You've been working hard all the way. If you have any questions, please sit down and talk -"

After Chen Ping sat down and drank a large cup of tea, Zhao Ying asked with a smile.

"Aren't you behind me? Why did you come here all of a sudden? You couldn't have come specifically to stop me..."

"Yes, I just came here specially——"

Chen Ping cupped his hands and looked a little serious.

"I heard that my lord defeated the three kingdoms of Dunpu, Qiemo and Dangtian in one night, and I knew that something bad was going on. If we defeated the three kingdoms in a row, there would be many prisoners. Now that we are deep in the enemy's hinterland, if we leave prisoners behind, we may be in trouble. If we don't keep the trouble, we are afraid that the lord will be known as cruel and unkind - then he abandoned the army behind and came quickly, hoping to share the lord's worries - luckily, I caught up..."

Having said this, Chen Ping couldn't help but show a look of joy on his face.

When Zhao Ying heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Do you have any good ideas-"

If he had the means, he would not be willing to kill women, children, the elderly and the weak. It's not that killing prisoners is ominous, but because he is not only a champion general, but also the eldest grandson of the emperor of Qin and the grandson of the first emperor.

Da Qin already had a reputation for cruelty. If he killed prisoners again, it would be like adding insult to injury to Da Qin's reputation.

"I think that instead of killing them all, it is better to divide them and absorb them for my use..."

When Zhao Ying heard this, he immediately showed a look of interest. When Zhang Liang heard this, he subconsciously glanced at Chen Ping, who was talking about it. A complicated look flashed in his eyes. He seemed to be a little regretful, but also seemed to be letting go. Thoughts.

Zhao Gao couldn't help but secretly clenched his fists in his sleeves, lowered his head, and showed no expression on his face.

"You might as well tell me in detail——"

"The young and strong people of the Three Kingdoms can be escorted back to fill the place, or used as laborers. Most of the officers and soldiers of our Qin Army are not yet married. Those who want to start a family can be ordered to choose a young woman to marry. Both of them, It can be said to absorb——"

Having said this, Chen Ping paused slightly.

"As for the remaining people, we can select some who have their hearts set on the Qin Dynasty, give them privileges, and rule them all. This can be called differentiation."

Zhao Ying couldn't help but take a breath of cold air and instantly understood what Chen Ping meant.

This Chen Ping is really something!

The last so-called differentiation is clearly to use some privileges thrown out to forcibly create a hierarchy between these captives. Only one's own people understand one's own people best, and only one's own people are the most vicious to deal with one's own people.

Whether it is the racial system in the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties or the puppet military system in a certain period, this point is fully illustrated.

The lower class was unable to resist the enslavement of the upper class, and the upper class needed Da Qin's approval.

Chen Ping's move directly solved most of the subsequent problems.

"good!"

Zhao Ying was in a good mood. It was really worth it for Chen Ping to receive this.

He knows the smallest things and makes great plans.

Just relying on his record of destroying three kingdoms in one night, he thought that he might have problems when dealing with prisoners, so he made a prompt decision and rushed over without hesitation.

Whether it is loyalty or ability, he is very satisfied!

Thinking of this, he glanced at Zhang Liang who was standing silently aside. Chen Ping could discover this problem. How could Zhang Liang, a being who was even more powerful than Chen Ping in later history, not discover it?

When Zhang Liang saw Zhao Ying glance at him, his heart suddenly tightened and he didn't dare to look into Zhao Ying's eyes. He knew that Zhao Ying did not rub sand in his eyes, and his passive response just now, without standing up to dissuade Zhao Ying's decision to kill the prisoners, might have fallen into Zhao Ying's eyes.

At this moment, he stared at his toes nervously, not daring to take a breath for fear that Zhao Ying would suddenly cause trouble for him.

But in fact, sometimes, the more you fear something, the more it will come to you.

“Zhang Liang, what do you think about this matter——”

Zhang Liang felt nervous.

"Wei Chen thinks that Mr. Chen's words are very good!"

Zhao Ying glanced at him with a half-smile.

"There are tens of thousands of young men and women from the Three Kingdoms. How do you think we can send them back safely..."

Zhang Liang knew that if he dared to act cunning again, what awaited him immediately would be the thunderous wrath of the emperor's eldest grandson. Thinking of the days in a small dark room dominated by loneliness and despair, he couldn't help shivering, and his thinking was more active and clear than ever before.

"Without weapons, it is like a beast that has lost its teeth, and suffering from hunger is like a beast that has had its claws removed. When hungry and cold, it will only want to curl up for warmth..."

Having said this, he couldn't help but secretly take a look at Zhao Ying who was sitting at the top.

"So, as long as you remove their weapons, don't let them eat well, don't let them wear warm clothes, they will have no strength to resist, and no intention to escape-"

What a good guy!

Zhao Ying finally showed a smile on his face.

"What a great idea. When I go back this time, I will definitely ask for credit for you in person!"

Zhang Liang: ...

Thank you so damn much——

As soon as this vicious and mean idea came out, his reputation was completely ruined. But what else can be done? The emperor's eldest grandson is obviously punishing himself and wants him to take the blame for Chen Ping...

Deal with the prisoners without delay.

Zhao Ying directly handed over this matter to Zhang Liang, who was very thoughtful.

You have to squeeze this kind of sixth man hard, manipulate him, and squeeze out the maximum value from him. Otherwise, it is a waste of talent.

Facts have proved that Zhang Liang's ability is really strong.

Tribal kingdoms such as Tupu, Qiemo and Dangtian were originally composed of many small tribes, and these small tribes were not monolithic.

Large tribes drive and enslave small tribes, and small tribes rely on large tribes. This is also a norm on the grassland. But now, this normalcy has been broken by Zhang Liang.

After he learned about it through investigation, he immediately selected several small tribes with relatively low status among the three tribal kingdoms and made them the privileged ones of this tribe.

Use the weak to defeat the strong, use the few to conquer the many.

And these small tribes will check and balance each other for their own interests.

The matter was handled cleanly and neatly, and even Chen Ping couldn't help but praise him in front of Zhao Ying. Looking at Chen Ping who was calm next to him, Zhao Ying smiled.

"The ability to be loyal without loyalty is worthless to me——"

Chen Ping couldn't help but have an imperceptible smile on his lips, but it was immediately hidden by him and he said sincerely.

"This man is quite talented. If he is careful, he will surely be a great help to the Lord..."

At night, Li Xin and Wang Li finally caught up with their army. After being supplemented by Shangjun, Zhao Ying's main force reached 3, and the auxiliary troops also expanded to more than [-].

At this time, these armies finally gathered together, and Zhao Ying's military strength officially reached its peak!

That night, Zhao Ying ordered to reward the three armies.

Countless cattle and sheep were pulled out and slaughtered for barbecue, and the enticing aroma wafted through the entire military camp. Of course, all this has nothing to do with the Khotan tribe. Ordinary women and children can still get some bland soup. Because of Zhang Liang's advice, the young and middle-aged captives did not even touch their teeth.

Young man, why are you so full?

A hungry prisoner is a good prisoner!

After dinner, Zhao Ying summoned all the generals in the army to hold the first meeting since the war began.

This is the team where he will settle down in the future, and he will naturally not miss any opportunity for everyone to grow and learn.

After the war is over, he will organize everyone to analyze and study together in accordance with the practice in the recruit camp, and summarize the experience and lessons learned in this actual battle.

PS: When I asked for a monthly ticket last time, I promised to add more updates, but I never had time to fulfill it. You can't break your promise and don't go out tomorrow. You just stay at home coding and fulfill your promise.
