Daqin: The poorest prime minister, the first emperor begged me to corrupt

Chapter 280 Cruelty should be his true nature!
"Impossible...how could there be no food?"

"Men of the White Sheep Department, don't scare people, we have seized all the grain, grass, cattle and sheep that our Qiang Department has stored for the winter..."

"Yes, there is also the food, grass, cattle and sheep of the patriarch's house, which is full of mountains and valleys, isn't it enough to eat?!"

The members of the Luo and Qiang tribes did not believe what the guard said, they only thought that he was being annoyed to death, so they came to scare their own family, and they all refuted with one tongue.

The guard officer was speechless for a long time after being refuted, but just when the Luo Qiang tribe thought that he had nothing to say because he was exposed, his face gradually revealed the color of rabbit death and fox sadness, hating iron but not steel: "I I can't figure it out... Where did you Qiang tribe learn the arrogance that dared to resist the Heavenly Soldiers of the Great Qin, attack the envoys of the Hexi Kingdom, and even attack the Hexi King himself who persuaded you with good words... I really think Can this matter be easily revealed?"

"Insufficient food and grass is just the reason for sending you to see the God of the Great Snow Mountain... You are the first wave, but definitely not the last wave... There are rumors in the army that in the future in the Western Regions, those who dare to resist the Heavenly Soldiers of the Great Qin will break the city Afterwards, all men, women, and children will be slaughtered... until the last one who dares to resist~!"

After saying that, the guards left a pitiful look and turned to chat with their companions.

This time, all the members of the Qiang tribe were speechless, and each heard a chill down their spines. After recovering from their senses, uncontrollable panic spread like a plague.

The camp where the Rao and Qiang tribes were imprisoned was very large, after all, there were nearly [-] tribesmen, but the panic rumors that they were about to be slaughtered had spread to the entire prisoner camp in less than a quarter of an hour.

And the Luo and Qiang tribes firmly believe in this!

As mentioned before, in the eyes of the Qiang people, attacking the envoys of other families is a relentless and unending death.

Under the arrogance and arrogance, the Rao and Qiang tribe also did this kind of self-destructive thing in order to show their loyalty to the King of Loulan and hope to fully integrate into the Loulan Kingdom in the future.

Moreover, they went too far, not only attacking the envoy, but also attacking the King of Hexi who personally persuaded them.

At that time, his words were sincere and sincere, as if he was comforting his own people. What kind of benevolent monarch is that?

But, will the benevolent monarch do massacres?
The answer is, yes!
Because all the Qiang people know that it was actually a few years ago, the Great Qin who killed the gods and prime ministers who wiped out the Xiongnu and the Yuezhi, and the Great Qin who was able to stop children from crying at night...

It is undoubtedly ridiculous to think of him too kindly!

Cruelty should be his true nature!
If you don't accept his kindness, you have to face his cruelty!

"Ha bah, it's all because of that damned Kang Renbaoyun, he was tortured to death by the Qin people, he really deserved it... Loulan is good, he insisted on taking the life and death of the whole family to invite the king of Loulan... Wuwuwu..."

A woman was angrily cursing the head of the Raoqiang tribe who had been beheaded to death, venting her fear of death, but at the end of the scolding, she hugged the poor child and cried loudly.

So far, panic has turned into despair!
But there are those who are desperate, and there are those who are not willing to sit and wait for death. Some young men and women who are self-reliant and have some courage, spontaneously came to the outskirts of the prison camp. Watchmen on guard or on patrol.

Ninety-nine percent of the guarding soldiers in strong and sharp clothes are actually Qiang auxiliary troops. Occasionally, a group or even a group of real Qin troops on horseback will come to check the post, and then leave after looking around.

Although the Qiang auxiliary army received intensive training for several days and received military law and ideological education during the march, it is obviously impossible to say how strict the discipline is.

Therefore, when the real Qin army came to inspect the post, the Qiang auxiliary army all put on a look of dedication, but when the real Qin army left, they intentionally or unintentionally leaned against the campfire to keep warm, leaving a big loophole for guarding... …

bang——

The two guards on guard were facing the camp of prisoners with their backs, warming up by the bonfire, when the muffled sound of heavy objects falling suddenly sounded behind them.

The two turned their heads to look around in confusion, and immediately jumped three feet high in a very exaggerated manner, shouting: "Heavenly damned, the death row prisoner has escaped~!"

The section of the fence that was supposed to be guarded by them had unexpectedly climbed over a hundred strong young men at some point, and they were fleeing into the distant night with their hands twisting their feet.

And the muffled sound of a heavy object falling to the ground was when a young man climbed over a high fence, because his hands and feet were not flexible, he accidentally fell on the ground...

"There are also escapees in the north, come to support!"

"Those who dare to escape will be shot and killed~!"

"Kill them all, leave no one behind..."

On all sides of the captive camp, guards and soldiers roared, obviously there were Raoqiang prisoners who wanted to abscond on all sides.

The patrolling Qiang auxiliary army heard the roar and rushed to support from all directions, intercepted some Rao Qiang prisoners who had escaped from the camp, and then quickly surrounded the camp to bring the situation under control.

As for those Raoqiang captives who escaped the interception by chance and disappeared into the night, teams of cavalry went out, chasing and killing them pretendingly, and drove them to the correct escape direction...

Looking at the cavalrymen going away, Liu Ji couldn't help laughing while tugging at his beard, and then waved to the leader who was carrying food beside him, and the group went straight into the prisoner's camp.

The despairing Rao and Qiang tribes retreated when they saw the Qin army coming in.

Liu Ji grinned, revealing his big white teeth, which were actually shining against the light of the bonfire.

Seeing his sinister smile, the members of the Rao and Qiang tribe thought he was going to eat people, and immediately wanted to retreat even further.

Liu Ji probably didn't expect that his kind smile would actually have the opposite effect, so he put on a straight face and said hesitantly: "Don't worry, those who said they would kill you are all rumors, there is no such thing at all, little brats It’s just nonsense.”

"Nai Weng is here to bring you food!"

As he spoke, he waved again to the gang leaders who were carrying food behind them.

The gang leaders understood, and immediately lifted the lids of the oversized wooden barrels, revealing the steaming hot spicy soup and horse meat buns inside.

As soon as the night wind blows, the fragrance immediately wafts away, hooking the gluttons!
The members of the Rao and Qiang tribe were stunned, swallowing their saliva subconsciously, but the panic and despair in their hearts disappeared by most of them immediately.

Those who didn't cry when they were in despair before, now burst into tears of joy, and complained while crying: "God damn Aries boy, how can you scare people like that..."

But there are also those who are suspicious by nature, looking at the buckets of delicious food, shaking their heads and whispering: "Could it be that they want to poison us? I definitely won't eat it!"

But what he said immediately attracted the speechless eyes of the neighbors, or the contemptuous eyes of caring for the mentally handicapped.

Even if the Qin army wants to kill you with poison, do you have room to resist?
Don't eat?

Then get knifed!
You choose, enjoy delicious food before dying, be a stuffed ghost...or starve, and be cut to pieces by knives!

"However, if you want to eat, there is a condition. You have to scream loudly at Nai Weng... If the yelling is not bad enough, you will be whipped... If the yelling is bad enough, Nai Weng let him open his belly and eat whatever he wants ~!"

Liu Ji ignored the whispers of the Rao and Qiang tribesmen, and just shouted loudly to himself.

The Rao and Qiang tribes were once again in a panic, what trick is this playing?
Could it be that this Qin general has some weird xp?

Liu Ji saw that he had finished speaking, but there was no scream from the Qiang tribe, so he couldn't help frowning, pulled out the horsewhip stuck in the armor belt, and swung it hard.

Snapped--

The sound of the whip resounded through the night sky, terrified the bewildered Rao and Qiang tribesmen around them, and all screamed.

Liu Ji took advantage of the situation and shouted angrily: "Scream loudly to Nai Weng... Otherwise, the whip will fall on you~!"

The members of the Ruo and Qiang tribe looked at each other, but they didn't dare to be negligent any more, and they all began to howl at the top of their voices, satisfying the weird xp of the Qin general.

Only then did Liu Ji nod in satisfaction, and let the guards disperse one by one, to urge the Yao and Qiang tribes all over the camp to build momentum together.

Slightly tilted, the camp was like a frying pan, and the wailing sounded straight into the sky.

Amidst the wailing, the gang leader began to distribute meals. As Liu Ji said, the one who screamed loudly will be distributed first, so as to keep enough.

Finally eating the legendary Qin people's delicacy, many of the Ruo and Qiang tribes couldn't help screaming, and Liu Ji and his guards had no choice but to throw whips all over the camp: "Pa... If you eat slowly, you will starve to death..."

……

……

At the same time, those young and strong young men who escaped from the camp by chance and were chased and intercepted by the cavalry of the Qin army couldn't help but panic like bereaved dogs when they heard the wailing and screams gathered in the direction of the camp behind them.

They knew in their hearts that it must be the escape of the captives, which made the Qin army lose patience, and started a bloody massacre of the rest of the same clan and their relatives who failed to escape in advance.

From now on, they are real bereaved dogs!

It's not right... It's still unknown whether he can escape the pursuit of the Qin cavalry tonight!

Fortunately, the Daxue Mountain God seemed to protect them tonight, not only protecting them from escaping from the captive camp, but also protecting them from being chased by the cavalry of the Qin army in the dark.

At dawn the next day, they were tired and hungry after fleeing all night, and they were lucky enough to meet reinforcements from the Loulan Kingdom!

When Qin Mo persuaded him to surrender yesterday, the leader of the dead ghost Rao Qiang once said that the reinforcements from the whole country of Loulan would arrive within two days, that was not a lie.

Qin Mo led an army of more than [-], almost all of them were infantry, and the march was slow and there was no room for concealment, so the leader of the Qiang tribe had already detected it.

King Loulan received a request from the Qiang cavalry for help, saying that the Lord of Hexi and the Prime Minister of the Great Qin led an army of 10,000+ to kill him from the plateau. Come... If the marching speed of the army is followed, it will indeed arrive at Raoqiang City in two days!
After the escaped prisoners of Raoqiang were strictly identified, they were received by a group of generals from the reinforcement army, who asked them about the city of Raoqiang in detail.

After seeing these embarrassing Rao Qiang escaped prisoners, the generals of the reinforcement army already had expectations in their hearts, and they probably guessed that the city of Rao Qiang must have been breached by the Qin army.

But what made them dumbfounded was that Raoqiang City was actually breached by the Qin army within half an hour.

Moreover, after a long march, without preparing any siege equipment, the city of Raoqiang was blown down.

They were even more shocked by the terrifying power of firearms described by the escaped Raoqiang prisoners.

They didn't suspect that the escaped prisoners of the Yaoqiang were exaggerating. After all, the missions of the Western Regions, when they went to Daqin to participate in the military parade, they had all seen the power of the Qin army's long-range firearms, which was not different from the descriptions of the escaped prisoners of the Yaoqiang...

However, what frightened the generals of the reinforcements the most was the slaughter of the Qiang tribe by the Qin army!

Just because he refused to surrender, he massacred the whole city, regardless of men, women, old or young. This is very overbearing and very big, and it makes all the generals have a bad feeling in their hearts!

The chief general of the reinforcements issued an order to suspend the march, because the city of Qiang Qiang had been lost, and going head-to-head with the Qin army equipped with long-range firearms in the wild was tantamount to seeking death.

However, suspending the march does not mean that there is no action. The Loulan reinforcements sent a large number of sentry cavalry to investigate in the direction of Raoqiang city.

By noon, scattered sentry cavalry in distress returned one after another, reporting the limited news from the desperate investigation: "The sentry cavalry of the Qin army is too fierce, equipped with firearms, and elusive, and can always spot us first. We surrounded and slaughtered, but none of our companions could escape... The Raoqiang tribe was really slaughtered, and the bones formed a mountain outside the city of Raoqiang, full of vultures pecking at their blood... vomit~!"

"Only these?"

"Only, only these, the sentry cavalry of the Qin army really..."

"Okay, let's go back and recuperate, don't reveal the matter of the Yaoqiang tribe!"

"Humble to know~!"

It was the consensus of all the reinforcement generals to block the massacre of the Rao and Qiang tribes, but it was unrealistic for this improvised motley crew to do so.

As more and more sentry cavalry returned, the news that the Yaoqiang tribe was broken into the city in half an hour and slaughtered the whole clan because they refused to surrender to the Qin army spread uncontrollably among the army.

Moreover, the more rumors became more outrageous, the strength of the Qin army and the brutality of the Qin army made the news change!

In the evening, just as the reinforcement generals were discussing whether to withdraw their troops, and when they arrived at the rear city to defend, there were deserters in the camp.

A large number of deserters!

This made the generals of the reinforcements angry and helpless. On the second day, they executed the deserters they caught in public as an example, and after a boost of morale, they bit the bullet and continued to march!

In fact, most of the so-called deserters are not really afraid of death, and there are not so many cowards in places like the Western Regions that are "conquered by nations".

The soldiers chose to be deserters because they just wanted to go home and take their wives and children with them far away, preferably to the mighty Great Xia... Otherwise, wherever the Qin army passed by, the recalcitrants would be slaughtered, so why should the wives and children be blamed?
Considering the psychology of the soldiers, if they withdraw, it will inevitably lead to more serious deserters, and even the whole army will collapse without fighting.

And continue to march, find a strong terrain to prevent the Qin army from advancing into the territory of Loulan, it will undoubtedly mobilize the enthusiasm of the soldiers, and even the determination to die.

Because they are no longer fighting for the ethereal king!

But to fight for the wives and children behind him!

……

……

"My lord, the Loulan reinforcements don't seem to be frightened yet. Do you want to slaughter them all and scare the entire Western Region?"

In the city of Raoqiang, all the generals were discussing matters, Liu Ji said with a fierce light in his eyes.

Qin Mo shook his head and said with a smile: "It's really slaughtered, who is going to spread panic? This method of massacring the city and intimidating it is just a way, don't take it seriously... Besides, if you slaughtered so many young and strong laborers, His Majesty will definitely kill you." Throw you to do hard labor to pay for it~!"
