Gao Wu Da Qin: You don’t want the secret to be known, right?

[Records of the Grand Historian: Biography of Bai Qi] The King of Qin discussed with the officials of Yinghou and said: "Bai Qi is still unhappy and dissatisfied with his transfer, and he has more to say."

The King of Qin then sent an envoy to give him a sword and he committed suicide.

Wu'an Jun drew his sword and was about to kill himself, saying, "What crime have I committed against Heaven to deserve this?" After a long moment, he said, "I deserve to die. In the Battle of Changping, hundreds of thousands of Zhao soldiers surrendered, but I deceived them and killed them all. This is enough to kill me." Then he committed suicide.

Although, the Records of the Grand Historian does not apply to the Gaowu era, and even King Zhaoxiang of Qin became King Ying Zheng of Qin,

However, the protagonist has not changed. The protagonist of the Battle of Changping is still Bai Qi, the Marquis of Wu'an.

At this time, whether Bai Qi would kill the surrendered people became a sword hanging over everyone's head.

From the perspective of war history, the wars in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period can be divided into two categories, one involving Bai Qi and the other not involving Bai Qi.

As the master of annihilation warfare, Bai Qi, whose fundamental purpose is to destroy the living force, has a combat style that is completely different from others. It can even be said that his status among military strategists is superior.

His existence is unprecedented and will never be repeated.

Before him, no general had ever been able to defeat hundreds of thousands of people in one go.

After him, no general had ever killed hundreds of thousands of surrendered soldiers in one battle.

So the question is, will Bai Qi kill the surrendered soldiers?

This needs analysis.

Analyze the factors that may influence Bai Qi's killing of the surrendered.

Now there are two main people who can stop Bai Qi from killing the surrendered. One is the lord of the empire, King Ying Zheng!

The other is the martial arts legend, Baiyujing Qinfeng.

So will these two people come forward to stop Bai Qi from killing the surrendered soldiers?

This requires analyzing interests.

After all, whether it is Qin Feng or Ying Zheng, neither of them is a saint, both of them are extreme profit-seekers.

From the perspective of an utilitarian, dealing with surrendered soldiers is a very, very, very troublesome matter.

In this highly civilized universe, killing innocent people will lead to bad reputation. Even if you treat people badly, you will be given a bad reputation.

For example, in the process of erasing memories, there is a certain chance that too much memory will be erased, causing the soldier to become mentally ill or even stupid.

Once this kind of thing happens, it will lead to a series of lawsuits.

Therefore, it would take the Heavenly Realm at least three months to deal with just four million surrendered soldiers.

Now, it would take the empire at least one or two years to deal with the 40 million surrendered soldiers.

But one or two years is enough for the empire to conquer one or two vassal states, or even destroy the other four countries directly!

It is not difficult to draw a conclusion from this. Accepting the surrendered soldiers is a huge burden and cost for the empire! It will delay the pace of the empire's expedition.

As the king, it was impossible for Ying Zheng to stop Bai Qi from killing the surrendered soldiers. Even if he tried to stop him, it would mostly be a casual mention or a fake move.

However, in fact, this is indeed the case, and it can even be said that Ying Zheng did not bother to make false moves.

In the Qin Palace in Xianyang, the ministers were discussing endlessly.

"Your Majesty, Bai Qi has returned to the Changping tent. Now that the Changping battle is over, you must not let Bai Qi kill the surrendered. This will cause the wrath of the world!"

"Yes! Your Majesty! Killing surrendered soldiers is a taboo in the military. As the head of a military family, if Bai Qi commits this crime, he will surely be ruined and even bring bad reputation to the empire! This is extremely detrimental to the empire."

"Your Majesty! We should recall Bai Qi back to Xianyang as soon as possible and let other generals temporarily control the battle of Changping! To avoid a disaster."

Amidst the discussions, Ying Zheng stood behind the curtain, unmoved.

However, in fact, if someone lifts the curtain at this moment, they will be surprised to find that, damn! Where is the king?

The king is gone!

There is only a holographic shadow of a king sitting on the throne!

Ying Zheng did not discuss politics with his ministers in the Xianyang Palace at all. Instead, he had left the palace and allowed the ministers to talk nonsense in the court, and he just ignored them and was not annoyed.

So, where is Ying Zheng now?

Of course it’s the Royal Temple!

Such a major event as the Battle of Changping naturally had to be reported to the royal temple to celebrate with the ancestors.

The cold wind blew across the bare royal platform, and the area around the huge rear hall and ancestral temple was extremely quiet.

Ying Zheng paced on the steps of the royal temple. When he was dozens of steps away from the temple, the door of the temple creaked open, and a blurry figure walked out of the temple.

Looking closely, this man is about thirty years old, handsome and unrestrained, with his hands behind his back, giving him the demeanor of a master, and a free and easy air can be seen between his brows.

The only flaw is that this person's body and even facial features are blurry, distorted and changeable.

Who is this person? Why did he come out of the Royal Temple?

It's none other than Qin Feng, the observer of history, the martial arts leader of contemporary martial artists, the director of the Jie Hai Soha Packaging Factory, and the great sage and teacher of the School of Diplomacy!

Ying Zheng was not surprised at all that Qin Feng appeared in the ancestral temple. He even walked past Qin Feng as if he had seen nothing. "Let's go in and talk."

Qin Feng closed the door of the ancestral temple with a smile, and came into the temple with Ying Zheng.

Qin Feng sat opposite the king and smiled happily, "I haven't seen your Majesty for a long time. You are still as strong as ever. This is a blessing for the empire!"

Ying Zheng was too lazy to talk nonsense with Qin Feng. He sat on the futon and went straight to the point, "Do you know the subspace?"

Qin Feng said, "I know. I knew about this when I first entered Baiyujing."

Ying Zheng asked, "Then why did the subspace invade the Pangu Universe? Are you behind this?"

Qin Feng patted his conscience with his left hand, "My king, you can doubt my character, but don't doubt my loyalty. No matter how much of a bastard I am, I will never bring the subspace in!"

Ying Zheng said, "But I learned from the Empire's intelligence network that it was William VII who got the Emperor's Heart in Handan, and the Emperor's Heart itself is King Arthur's legacy. You have an unclear relationship with King Arthur..."

Qin Feng said, "To be honest, I did mention it to King Arthur, and I wanted to create some dirty evidence for Handan, so that I could force Zhang Bairen to take action against Handan and make Zhang Bairen stand on the side of the empire, but I definitely didn't ask them to throw away a weapon like the Emperor's Heart! At most, I asked them to throw away some soft evidence like documents, declarations, and contracts! But they sent me a father! The Emperor's Heart! This is definitely beyond my expectations."

Ying Zheng looked at Qin Feng, "The subspace is very dangerous and almost caused damage to the origin of the Pangu Universe. It is necessary to sanction the Holy Light Civilization."

Qin Feng counted with his five fingers on his left hand and said softly, "The appearance of the Emperor's Heart is beyond my expectations, but after analyzing the root cause, it is not difficult to see that this is a test of me by the Holy Light Civilization, and also a wolf-eating tiger for the Pangu Universe."

"They are testing whether I still have the strength to fight back against them, testing whether the Empire has the strength to defeat the enemy!"

"Whether it's King Arthur or William VII, they are still our enemies. Especially this time, their conspiracy to use the subspace to disgust the Pangu Universe is naked."

"Don't worry, my king. I will take revenge on them!"

Ying Zheng looked at Qin Feng with appreciation, "Very good, do you have any research results on the Emperor's Heart?"

Qin Feng said, "There are some, but not many, and they are all about building subspace channels and creating ultra-fast commuting."

Ying Zheng said, "This is already quite good. I will send your research results on the subspace channel to the Daqin Heavy Industry Research Institute later."

"It's fine to send it." Qin Feng rubbed his hands and said, "My king, you just asked me to take it away like this, isn't this a greedy way..."

Ying Zheng glared at Qin Feng and said, "I don't have money, but I have women! I have dozens of daughters, you can pick any one you like!"

Qin Feng waved his hands hurriedly, "Forget it, forget it! I just mentioned it casually. I don't even have a physical body now. I have the same life form as all the Qin ancestors. Beautiful women have no feelings for me!"

Ying Zheng said, "Seriously, Bai Qi is already at the Changping battlefield. He sent me a message using a tiger talisman, wanting to kill the surrendered. If I don't reply to him by midnight today, he will kill the surrendered. What do you think?"

Qin Feng pushed his chin and did not answer immediately. Instead, he turned his head and looked at the hill-like ancestral tablets of the Qin kings.

Obviously, Qin Feng and the Qin kings have discussed this matter.

Ying Zheng also followed Qin Feng's gaze and looked at the ancestors. Except for King Zhaoxiang of Qin who went to study, all the other ancestors were there on the hill.

Finally, the spirit tablet of Qin Xiaogong above the spirit tablet emitted a faint glow, and his consciousness diffused down, "Qin Feng has already discussed this matter with us. It is very troublesome and time-consuming to deal with 40 million surrendered soldiers! If they stay, they can retain their reputation, but they will inevitably become a major hidden danger to the empire!"

"Now is the time when the other four states are still in shock and morale is low. If we kill all 40 million people, it will surely scare the four frightened states completely out of their wits. At this time, the remaining elite troops of the Qin army will attack the four states. In three years at most, we can pacify the world."

Ying Zheng said, "So, your unanimous opinion is to kill the surrendered! Use thunderous means to unify the empire?"

The tablet of King Huiwen of Qin glowed. "If we leave behind 40 million surrendered soldiers, the other four vassal states will follow suit and use the people to control the world. By then, the empire will have a hard time moving forward. I'm afraid this war will last for decades!"

The tablet of King Wulie of Qin glowed. "The cost of maintaining a good reputation is much higher than the cost of maintaining a bad reputation. The cause of the empire is only halfway through, and it is far from the stage of establishing a reputation. Even if we want to establish a reputation, it is the time to help the world and save the people, not now."

King Xiaowen of Qin beamed with joy and said, "Killing the surrendered is the best solution, there is no other. The empire can be cruel, but it must not be weak. The people of the world can accept a tyrant who is arbitrary and kills countless people, but they will never accept a weak and incompetent mediocre monarch."

Ying Zheng stared at the snowy mountain of spirit tablets in front of him and said, "I agree with the suggestions of my ancestors and Qin Feng. Kill the surrendered!"

"But, I want to ask all of you, Qin Feng, a question on behalf of Bai Qi, the Marquis of Wu'an!"

"If Bai Qi kills the surrendered soldiers, he will be a sinner for all eternity. Then who will be responsible for Bai Qi's fate?"

"Bai Qi took the blame for the empire. Who can save Bai Qi?"

After saying this, Qin Feng laughed and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. Qin Feng has already prepared for this matter!"

Ying Zheng asked, "Mr. Qin, can you tell me about your specific operations?"

Qin Feng's left hand and right hand moved in slow motion. A majestic dragon gate appeared in the palm of his left hand, and a vast and ethereal continent model appeared in his right hand.

Qin Feng shook his hands, and the gantry and continental models floated in the air.

Ying Zheng looked at the two objects in front of him, his eyes shining, "What is this?"

"My future body." Qin Feng introduced the continent. "It's not yet fully conceived, but it has already taken shape. I hope that within ten years my new body will be formed, and then I can come out of seclusion!"

Ying Zheng asked, "What are you going to do?"

Qin Feng said, "Forty million surrendered soldiers are the elites of the human race after all. From the perspective of the human race's ancestral temple, I should rescue them."

"There are many ways to save people. You can save people who are dead or alive."

"Their country has been reduced to dust, so their hearts are dead. There is no point in saving them, their hearts are already dead."

"The only way to save them now is to die."

Ying Zheng raised his lips, "Boy, you'd better finish your words in one breath. I don't have much patience."

Qin Feng smiled slyly, "I want all the souls and flesh of the 40 million surrendered soldiers. I will take them to the Unlucky Emperor's Coffin to wait. After I complete my new body, they will migrate into my body and become residents of my new universe body! Start a new life!"

Ying Zheng asked, "Will those people listen to you?"

"Yes." Qin Feng pointed at the mini gantry again, "Let me introduce you to the King! This is a very magical magic weapon. It can reconstruct the basic sequence of life forms."

"This is a very exaggerated ability!"

"For those who pass through this door, not only will your memory be altered, but your life structure will also be changed!"

"I can even customize the appearance of a new race through this door! For example, the human-dragon race!"

As he spoke, Qin Feng raised his hand and a race similar to the dragon man appeared in front of him. This human dragon looked more handsome, with arms covered with dragon scales and a tail swaying gently behind him.

The human-dragon race and the dragon-human race look very similar, but the difference in temperament is as great as heaven and earth.

The human-dragon race exudes the sharp aura of sunshine, they are powerful and unrivaled, while the dragon-human race, on the contrary, gives people a sense of stinginess.

Comparing the human-dragon clan and the dragon-human clan is like the golden monkey and the Emeishan monkey. They seem to be the same category, but in fact they are completely different!

Ying Zheng looked at the human-dragon creature Qin Feng was fiddling with and asked suspiciously, "This race is no less impressive than Nuwa's creation of humans. Are you copying another race?"

Qin Feng was so angry when he heard this, "What do you mean by plagiarism? Can we scholars call it plagiarism? At most, I just borrowed from others! I made some minor innovations! That's all!"

"Moreover, after the human-dragon race appears, if the king needs it, I can arrange it for him! When the king conquers the subspace or something like that, he will also need some warriors with special physiques!"

Ying Zheng asked, "How strong can they be? Gods?"

Qin Feng shook his head like a rattle, "God, you overestimate them! They are at most demigods! I estimate their combat power to be around 40,000 to 50,000!"

Ying Zheng nodded, "Forty to fifty thousand is already very strong. Compared to the other armies of the empire, if a complete human-dragon tribe appears, it will indeed be the core combat power of the empire! But we need to discuss this number. The empire needs at least ten million demigod warriors."

Qin Feng shook his head, "My lord, Longmen's screening is very strict. It doesn't mean that if you throw in 40 million, you will get 40 million. Maybe you can get a few million!"

"How about this, no matter how many demigod dragon warriors appear, I will give one third to the king, how about that?"

Ying Zheng said nothing.

Qin Feng continued, "My king, I have many masters to serve, including official organizations, ominous forces, the Five Elders, the Supreme Forces, and the independent cultivators of the Sea Realm. They all need gifts, and it's not easy for me..."

Ying Zheng said, "I don't think it's too little, but when can you start? It's almost midnight, and Bai Qi will start killing the surrendered in a few minutes!"

Qin Feng said, "There is no time to lose. I will go to Changping now! Goodbye, my king!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Feng's figure disappeared like a black light.

In the huge royal temple, Ying Zheng looked at the huge hill of spirit tablets and said slowly, "That kid Qin Feng must have promised a lot of benefits to the ancestors!"

"Don't panic, elders. I am not interested in the secrets of your discussions!"

"But I want to remind you all, don't let him sell you out and help him count the money."

"So be it!"

Ying Zheng waved his sleeves and left the royal temple leisurely. On the battlefield of Changping, a bloody storm was about to begin.
