The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 160 The Kindness of Women
In the dark of night, Zhao Da led dozens of horsemen and galloped towards the city of Wuzhou with Ali Haiya in charge.

There are long torches on the top of the city, and Kong Yuan stands on the top of the city himself, next to Wanyanzhang who is tied up with five flowers.

The moonlight is like water, and it is doubly desolate.

Wherever the cavalry passed, corpses littered the field.

At the foot of the city, dozens of horses rode together, Zhao Dagao shouted: "By the order of my emperor, come and exchange Ali Haiya for our army's General Wanyan!"

Kong Yuan looked at the city, waved his hand, and told the lieutenant next to him, "Take General Wanyan out of the city!"

However, at this time, Wanyanzhang suddenly shouted towards the city: "The Jurchen soldiers are dead, how can Wanyanzhang live?"

After shouting, he laughed loudly, "The emperor is willing to exchange my life for Ali Haiya, and Wanyanzhang is very grateful!"

Before he finished speaking, he struggled violently, threw off the two soldiers of the Yuan army who were guarding him, and suddenly jumped out of the city.

"Stop him!"

Kong Yuan yelled, but it was too late.

Wanyanzhang's burly figure stepped out of the city and fell towards the city, like a kite with a broken string.

There was a muffled sound from below the city.

No one expected that Wanyanzhang would seek death at this moment.He seemed to want Zhao Dongting to see his bravery.

"General Wanyan!"

Zhao Da yelled, his face changed drastically.

Immediately he raised his gun sharply and shouted, "Go back!"

The city wall of Wuzhou was tens of meters high, and Wan Yanzhang fell from the top of the city, and there was absolutely no possibility of surviving.

The words he yelled before he died still echoed in Zhao Da's mind.

But at this time, Ali Hague also took advantage of the moment when the soldiers were in a trance, struggled away, and ran towards the city gate.

"Humph!"

Zhao Da, who had just turned his horse's head, gritted his teeth and snorted coldly, and threw the spear in Ali Haiya's back suddenly.

Wan Yanzhang is dead, Ali Hague is naturally of no value anymore.Although he is not good at fighting, he still knows this truth.

The spear flew across the air at high speed, piercing the running Ali Haiya through his chest.

Ali Hague's figure froze suddenly, and his spear poked the ground, keeping his body alive.

Kong Yuan's eyes suddenly opened, and he roared angrily: "Let the arrows! Let the arrows!"

But Zhao Datou didn't look back, and quickly left with dozens of riders.

Ali Haiya's body stood still in the night, with his head down, facing the direction of Wuzhou City.

The night wind blew past, and his body suddenly fell to the ground.

The Yuan army that was out of the city rushed up to him, and the lieutenant looked extremely ugly, and ordered the soldiers to carry Ali Haiya's body back to the city.

Song Jun has gradually set up his camp, revealing faint white spots in the moonlight.

Zhao Da led his soldiers through the barracks, returned to Zhao Dongting's chariot, and walked into the chariot with a sullen face, "Your Majesty, General Wanyan... died for the country."

Zhao Dongting asked in surprise, "How could this happen?"

Qin Han asked, "How is Ali Hague?"

Zhao Da replied: "General Wanyanzhang said that his Jurchen soldiers had all died for the country, and he jumped off the top of Wuzhou city because he was unwilling to live. Before he died...he said that the emperor would exchange his life with Ali Haiya. He was very grateful .Ali Hague...has been killed by me."

Zhao Dongting closed his eyes slightly, "He wants me to feel indebted to him so that I can always remember my promise to him..."

Qin Han quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Da fell to his knees, "The final general is ineffective, please punish him by the emperor."

"General Wanyanzhang is determined to live and die, no wonder you." Zhao Dongting just sighed.

In fact, he had some hunch in his heart that Wanyanzhang would live and die with Wuzhou City, but he didn't expect that Wanyanzhang would choose such a decisive method.

In this life, he probably won't be able to forget Wanyanzhang's death, so he won't be able to forget his promise to Wanyanzhang either.

Jurchen...

The carriage fell silent again.

After a while, after the tents were set up, Wen Tianxiang, Su Quandang, Yue Peng, Liu Zijun and other generals came from all over the place.

Zhao Dongting forced himself out of the chariot, Yue Peng and Su Quandang fell to their knees, their eyes flushed.

"Get up!"

Zhao Dongting knew that Ma Jun, the bodyguard, and Ma Jun, the guard in front of the temple, were almost dead, but he didn't intend to blame them.

Wen Tianxiang bowed and said, "Your Majesty, if we set up camp here, should we attack Wuzhou, or retreat after resting?"

Zhao Dongting overlooked Wuzhou city, and the high city walls made people feel small.

He was silent for a while, and said: "There is a large army stationed in Wuzhou City, and our army is short of troops, food and grass. We will withdraw our troops tomorrow morning and return to Pingnan."

"emperor!"

At this time, Qin Han suddenly walked out of the chariot and said, "Just wait until tomorrow, and the Yuan army will leave the city."

Everyone was surprised when they heard the words, and they couldn't help but look at Qin Han.

Zhao Dongting was also surprised, and asked, "Why did the military commander say that?"

Qin Han's face was indifferent, and he said lightly: "Before leaving the city, I have ordered the soldiers to inject dove poison into the wells in Wuzhou City. Now, there should be many Yuan soldiers in the city showing signs of poisoning."

"hiss!"

Everyone gasped, their faces showing shock.

Dove poison!

Even Zhao Dongting's expression changed.

Dove is a kind of bird, but it is extinct in modern times.This kind of bird eats snakes and is distributed in the southern mountains. Its feathers are highly poisonous, and it is almost insoluble when soaked in wine.Although the dove poison will be diluted and the toxicity will be greatly reduced when it is thrown into the well, but the human body will definitely not be able to bear it.

However, there were no people left in the city. After they drank the well water...

Zhao Dongting burst into anger from his chest, his face was flushed, and he yelled at Qin Han: "How can you use such a heartless method?"

Qin Han was not afraid at all, and still stood proudly, "When Wuzhou was about to fall, the army was still gone. If I don't use this method, can it be impossible to sit and watch tens of thousands of Yuan troops invade Guangxi? I have tens of thousands of soldiers, can I stop Kong Yuan's iron cavalry?"

Zhao Dongting said: "But there are still people in the city! If you use this method, the people in the city will not die?"

Qin Han said: "Wuzhou is an important place, and our dynasty is bound to hold it in our hands. What are mere common people?"

As he spoke, he cupped his hands and said, "If the emperor thinks that my actions will harm the peace of heaven, he can kill Qin Han. If the sky is going to be angry, Qin Han will bear it alone."

Zhao Dongting was really angry, and his heart was filled with endless chill.He felt that Qin Han was simply a cold-blooded person.

Pouring dove poison into the well water may turn the whole Wuzhou into a dead city.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and shouted: "Come here, drag Qin Han down and behead him!"

"The emperor is merciful!"

But at this time, Wen Tianxiang, Liu Zijun and others knelt down one after another.

Liu Zijun said: "Your Majesty, although the military division's move hurt the peace of heaven, it is also a helpless move. Most of the people in the city have fled outside the city, and there should not be many people left in the city. The military division captured Cangwu, captured Jingjiang, and guarded Wuzhou. , I will finally intercede with the military division, and ask the emperor to show mercy!"

Even Wen Tianxiang said: "Your Majesty, although the poisonous dove poisons the people in the city, if we can take Wuzhou, it will be of great significance to our court."

Su Quandang and Yue Peng followed suit, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

They are seeing Qin Han's contribution.If it weren't for Qin Han, they wouldn't have been able to wipe out Ali Haiya so easily and seize the land of Guangxi.

In their minds, compared to Wuzhou, those people in the city are really nothing.

How many generals are not the ones with a firm heart?
They are used to fighting, so they really don't care about the mere people left in Wuzhou City.Moreover, most of those who have not left the city are old and weak.

In this era, life is far less important than modern times.

Zhao Dongting was stunned.

He also knew that Qin Han's poisoning was for the sake of the Southern Song Dynasty.However, this insidious method still made him feel chills.

To conquer the world, there must be casualties. He can accept the death of soldiers, or even accept the massacre of the people by the Yuan army, because those are unavoidable things.However, in order to defeat the Yuan army and make the people in Wuzhou city innocent, he couldn't accept it.

Because, it was Qin Han who was killing them.And Qin Han is his military advisor.

This is equivalent to killing the people in the city.

Zhao Dongting wanted to restore the Southern Song Dynasty, because he wanted to turn the whole world into a paradise, so that all the people could live and work in peace and contentment.Let people in this era have enough food and live a stable life.But Qin Han's actions made him feel like he had become a butcher.

He couldn't accept it, at least, not yet.

Qin Han was meritorious, so he could not die, but Zhao Dongting didn't dare to let him stay by his side any longer.

He only has the battle situation in his eyes, but no humanity.His ideas are contrary to Zhao Dongting's.

For a long time, Zhao Dongting stared at Qin Han and said, "You go, from now on, you are no longer my military advisor."

"Ha ha."

Qin Han suddenly sneered.

His spine is still straight, and there is contempt in his eyes, "You are too benevolent, and the Southern Song Dynasty died. Throughout the ages, who has ever won the world among benevolent people? During the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao was the last to win the world." , not Liu Bei! If you don’t kill the people of the world, the people of the world will die for you. Qin Han bids farewell!”

After all, Qin Han shook his sleeves and left in the night, drifting away.

Zhao Dongting was in a daze.

He had to admit that Qin Han's words touched his heart a little.

If you don't kill the people in the world, the people in the world will die for you...

Zhao Dongting couldn't help thinking, if the well hadn't been poisoned and the Yuan army invaded from Wuzhou, what kind of misery would have happened in Guangxi?
At that time, the casualties of the common people will only be the people in Wuzhou City?

For a moment, his heart was extremely tangled.

The ideas he brought from modern times, as well as the goodwill in his heart, clashed fiercely with the reality of this era.

This made Zhao Dongting very at a loss, wondering if he was really too kind of a woman.

Wen Tianxiang watched Qin Han walk away, and said: "Your Majesty, Qin Han has great talents, and he can often seek big things with small things. Please think twice, Your Majesty."

Yue Peng put it even more bluntly, "Your Majesty, although Wuzhou will become a place of death, we will send the people here again!"

Zhao Dongting didn't speak, and walked back into the chariot sadly.

He suddenly felt that it was really a mistake for him to travel to this era and attach himself to Zhao Shi.His character may not be a qualified emperor.

However, he couldn't drive out the kindness in his heart.

He said that his sword would not be used to stab his own people.
