Bad people in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 403
Unavoidably, something changed. After Tian Hao and Ying Zheng finished talking, they took the Black Bird and set off.

He didn't go out day and night, he just used Heguang Tongchen as a mechanism to make the black bird invisible. Even the sound of the propeller was covered up, and he couldn't be found at an altitude of hundreds of feet.

At the same time, this is also a major flaw of the machine Suzaku. Compared with the aviation aircraft in the previous life, it is somewhat inferior in power. It cannot fly at high altitudes and can only swing at low altitudes.

But there are also advantages, that is, it can fly without power when there is wind, and the energy consumption is much lower.

He flew straight to the vicinity of Handan City, and let Lu Xingyun and the women who came with him control him to continue flying above, while he jumped down and mixed into Handan City to inquire about information, and then made a new discovery.

"Lian Po is dead now."

After analyzing the latest intelligence, Tian Hao lamented that Lian Po was dead.

Because his family was arrested, especially his sons.

After those people were arrested, they were searched and many problems were found.

As long as you are a powerful person these days, you will find a lot of problems that are not in compliance with the laws of the country, and corruption is just the most common one.

This is also a normal state. The supervision intensity and methods in this era are very weak. Those powerful people who have privileges naturally get along well.

Maybe those things are not illegal in their eyes, but as long as they speak the truth, they will be sent in, and beheadings and ransacking homes are not uncommon.

After finding out where Lian Po was being held, Tian Hao did not act immediately, but hid and waited quietly.

As a delinquent who made his fortune from the net, what he lacks most is patience, and only by waiting patiently can he wait for the best time.

After waiting for six days, the opportunity finally came. Zhao Jie was going to see Lian Po.

Zhao Jie asked someone to bring a meal and wine into the prison, but instead of entering Lian Po's cell, he waited in a torture room.

The environment in the cells these days is not very good. The smell is quite sour, and some people with weaker constitutions just hang in there.

As the prime minister of a country, Zhao Jie would naturally not go in and suffer, and he was not young, so if he really got sick from this, he might be over.

"Dang..."

There was the sound of a series of anklets being dragged on the ground, and a burly figure was led in by several jailers. It was Lian Po.

Lian Po was in a very embarrassed state at the moment, not only wearing shackles on his hands and feet, but also a heavy shackle made of bronze.

"You all go out!"

Zhao Jie waved his hand, and the jailers quickly exited and closed the door.

Only Lian Po, Zhao Jie, and a personal guard were left in the room.

"Is this considered a deprivation meal?"

Looking at the sumptuous table of food and wine, Lian Po sneered.

"As long as the general nods, it's not."

Zhao Jie said pointedly. In comparison, he still wanted Lian Po to surrender.

Although Lian Po was defeated in the battle of Hezong last time, he knew that it was not because Lian Po was incompetent, but because the Qin State was too cunning and the methods were too incredible. They did not expect the Qin State to use such tactics.

At the same time, it was too fast, and there was no time to respond. Let alone Lian Po, even if Jiang Taigong came back to life and faced that situation, he would definitely lose.

Therefore, Lian Po is still very capable and is the well-deserved first general of their Zhao country.

Even though he had discovered a Li Mu, Li Mu was much younger than Lian Po and lacked experience and prestige.

Moreover, the presence of famous generals would not be too much for them, and it would allow both sides to form a situation of checks and balances, and they would feel more at ease.

Now it depends on whether Lian Po is willing to nod.

"Then I would rather die without a job, than lose the shame to see my ancestors and be infamy for thousands of years."

With a cold snort, Lian Po was not polite, sat down, picked up a pair of chopsticks and started eating.

Although he is wearing a heavy yoke, he can still simply pick up vegetables and eat.

"Why must the general be so stubborn?"

Zhao Jie frowned and persuaded: "It is indeed inappropriate to do this, but I am also doing it for the great Zhao. Is the general willing to see me, the great Zhao, destroyed by the Qin State, and all the people of the Zhao State become slaves of the country? "

"There is nothing wrong with becoming a slave of the Qin Kingdom. The millions of soldiers who were captured back then are living a good life now. It is much better than becoming a slave of the Wolf Clan."

Taking the time to reply, Lian Po kept picking up vegetables with his chopsticks.

He was not living a very good life during this time, he was very hungry, and even if he was going to die, he would have to be a starved person.

As for the bottom line he would not break, he was even more determined after seeing the people of Zhao who were rescued from the wolf tribe by the Qin army, especially the women who were unwilling to return to Zhao.

The State of Zhao only has a blood feud with all the foreign barbarians in the north. It is impossible for them to cooperate, let alone to allow those foreign barbarians to grow and unify the entire north.

That will inevitably become a major trouble for the entire Central Plains, and they will also become sinners in the Central Plains.

This is an absolute must not be done!

"General Lian Po, watch your words. Qin is our mortal enemy of Zhao. Have you forgotten those soldiers who were tricked and killed in the Battle of Changping?"

Zhao Jie was very dissatisfied with Lian Po's attitude and scolded him.

"Of course I will not forget the Battle of Changping, but I will also not forget the people who were plundered and killed by the wolves and northern aliens for hundreds of years, let alone the women who were plundered and humiliated."

Lian Po would never give in, and he would never forget either.

Qin is their mortal enemy of Zhao, but the foreign tribes in the north are even more so.

And their hatred for the foreign races in the north is even stronger.

Seeing Lian Po's tough attitude, although Zhao Jie was very dissatisfied, he could only soften his attitude.

"General, you should be able to understand the painstaking efforts of the truth. Since the Battle of Changping, our Zhao State has become weak, and even the Yan State can come over and attack.

The Qin State is booming, especially the areas governed by Huang Tianhou and Qin Wangzheng have shown terrifying potential. If we, Zhao, do not respond, we will definitely be destroyed by the Qin State.

Da Zhao has been passed down for hundreds of years and should not be destroyed in the hands of our generation.

Cooperating secretly with the wolf clan is also forced to do nothing..."

Telling his thoughts and ideas, Zhao Jie personally experienced the Battle of Longxi and the Battle of Hezong, as well as the original Battle of Handan, and was well aware of the power of Qin and its terrifying potential.

The State of Qin was like a huge mountain pressing down on him, making him breathless. For the sake of Zhao, he could only do things that were difficult for ordinary people to understand.

"Wrong actions will only produce wrong results. Cooperating with the wolf clan is an absolute mistake. You will regret it in the future and become a sinner of Zhao State."

Before Zhao Jie could finish speaking, Lian Po interrupted coldly, denying the other party's ideas and methods.

He knew very well what the wolves and those foreign barbarians were thinking, and if they cooperated with them, they would be harmed.

Zhao Jie wanted to use the wolf tribe and the foreign tribes in the north to contain the Qin State, but he knew that the wolf tribe and those foreign tribes were bullies and afraid of the strong. Compared with the Qin State, the Zhao State and the Yan State were more to their liking.

Moreover, what Zhao Jie did would only make the Wolf Clan covet Zhao State even more.

Feeding food to wolves will eventually only become food for wolves.

Seeing that Lian Po still had this attitude, Zhao Jie's expression turned cold.

"Before, the prime minister's country checked several of the general's heirs, and their hands and feet were not very clean. The general must not want a white-haired person to send a black-haired person, right?"

After a direct threat, he didn't have the patience to continue spending time with Lian Po.

Lian Po is very prestigious in Zhao State, especially in the army. A result must be given as soon as possible to make some people give up, otherwise it will be very troublesome.

"If you send me away first, don't you have to send the white-haired person away instead of the black-haired person?"

Hehe sneered, Lian Po had long expected this outcome, but compared to the life and death of his family, the bottom line was more important.

And he doesn't believe in people like Zhao Jie. He will definitely take the blame in the end, and his family and children will definitely not be well.

Since the result is death, why should he let someone like Zhao Jie get his wish?
"Stubborn!"

Seeing that Lian Po was unwilling to enter, Zhao Jie became angry, got up and prepared to leave.

He paused before walking out of the door and said, "General, think carefully. There is still a chance to change before dawn tomorrow."

After speaking, he left.

The jailers who were waiting outside for a while finally walked in and took a look. Seeing Lian Po eating and drinking, they sighed with a complicated expression and closed the door, leaving him alone without taking him back to the cell.

That might really be a dead meal!
Lian Po, who was eating the food, suddenly twitched his nose and smelled a strong smell of wine. Just by smelling the smell, he knew it was very strong. As a man from the Zhao Kingdom, this was quite tempting to him.

"It doesn't taste like this. This is not the wine of Zhao State."

Looking at the drinks on the table, Lian Po judged that it was not the smell of alcohol emanating from there.

"It's true that it's not Zhao's wine, it's our Qin's. Do you dare to take a sip, old general?" Tian Hao appeared, placed a bottle of distilled wine in front of Lian Po and said with a smile.

"Why don't you dare?"

After looking at someone, Lian Po picked up the wine bottle and leaned back to take a big sip. The spicy taste made him almost spit it out, but looking at the smile on the face of the person opposite, he swallowed it hard.

"Good wine!"

It took him a while to regain his composure, and he couldn't help but praise the wine bottle in his hand.

"Of course it's good wine, but I wonder if the old general would like to come to our country of Qin to drink this kind of wine? That would be the most delicious."

Tian Hao smiled, picked up the pair of chopsticks that Zhao Jie had not touched and took a bite of the food.

Lian Po did not answer the topic, but looked at the young man across from him, and then asked: "Were you the one who came up with the ice dam and the machine army last time?"

He guessed who the person was, and he had seen this person's portrait before, as well as his figure, so it was easy to guess.

What he cared about was the last Hezong battle. After that defeat, he had rehearsed it countless times, but it was difficult to find an opportunity to win.

Even if you can't cross the river, you can still win.

As the river water spreads, and with the help of fire oil, no matter how many troops there are, they will be burned to death, and at most they will be able to escape a few people.

"I came up with the idea."

Nodding, Tian Hao did not deny it.

"I have been practicing the art of war for a lifetime, but in the end I was surpassed by a young man."

Shaking his head and sighing, Lian Po was hit hard.

What he is most proud of is the art of war. He is confident that even if he faces Qin Wu'an Jun Bai Qi, he is confident that he will remain undefeated.

But who would have thought that he would be defeated at the hands of such a young man, and completely defeated.

"How will you treat the people of Zhao after the unification of Qin?"

Continuing to ask, Lian Po was more concerned about this point.

Although he could not be said to love the people as his own children, he did not want the people of Zhao to really become slaves to the country's subjugation.

As for the current situation in the world, he saw clearly that the Qin State was much stronger than he imagined, and it was unlikely that the Six Kingdoms could survive, especially since the Zhao State was now controlled by people like Zhao Jie.

That person has completely abandoned the bottom line and used all possible means to do things. The Zhao country will definitely be led to destruction by him.

But he only cares about the people. As for those powerful people in Qin, they will definitely not tolerate it, so there is no need to ask.

"The same policies and treatment as those of the captives last time, and the implementation of a new farming tax system, the tax is half, but those who are willing to go to the Western Region and the North to open up wasteland for farming, as much land as they can open belongs to them, and the tax is also half. After three generations, they will be Qin people and will be exempted from agricultural taxes.

Those with a good attitude can become Qin people in advance and enjoy the same treatment as Qin people. "

Tian Hao briefly explained this matter. After the six countries are unified in the future, they will inevitably move most of the people from the six countries to the northern part of the Western Region and the southern Xinjiang to open up wasteland and cultivate land.

The more grain, the better. Even if people can't eat it all, it can be eaten by livestock, which makes it easier for them to grow meat.

Lian Po nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and then asked: "I heard that you are opening a large number of those colleges in Longxi and the Western Regions, not just to make the people literate, right?"

He had been paying attention to the intelligence from Qin's Longxi and Western Regions, and he knew more. He could also vaguely see that the young man in front of him and the Qin King's political dignitary were making big moves.

“The current official system is mainly based on recommendation, but this will form interest groups and even factions, which will develop into party struggles and even dominate the court, which is not conducive to the development and growth of the country.

We plan to switch to the imperial examination system and popularize education first, starting from the lowest primary schools..."

Tian Hao did not shy away from speaking out about this matter in detail, not only the idea of ​​the imperial examination system, but also the establishment of schools at all levels, as well as the integration of hundreds of schools of thought, which made Lian Po fascinated.

"The traditional Chinese characters are also related to you."

After listening, Lian Po suddenly asked. He had studied the Daqin dictionary and the traditional Chinese characters produced by Confucianism. He didn't think anything of it before, but now after hearing about the other party's academy and imperial examination system, he felt Made some guesses.

If it is true, then the Qin State is too terrible, and the six countries are far behind it.

"We arranged it. With the help of Confucianism, traditional Chinese characters that are conducive to unification will be spread among the six countries in advance, paving the way for the future unification of the world."

Nodding, Tian Hao did not deny this.

If you want to conquer a character like Lian Po, you must be sincere.

Moreover, he has full confidence in this conquest plan and will never fail.

In this way, Lian Po is one of our own, and there is no need to hide it.

"This is the real chess game in which the world is used as a chess game. The six countries and hundreds of schools of thought are just chess pieces in your hands."

Lian Po was filled with emotion. Although he had made some guesses before, he was still shocked when it was confirmed.

Compared with other people's planning methods, theirs is so different and not on the same level at all.

The last battle of Hezong was not unjustly lost!

Lian Po asked and Tian Hao answered. The two chatted all night without knowing it, and Lian Po drank the bottle of distilled wine.

But after all, he is a martial arts practitioner. If he doesn't want to get drunk, he can't get drunk. He is just in a slightly tipsy state.

"Thank you for the wine, but I will not go to Qin with you. I will be born as a member of Zhao and die as a ghost of Zhao."

Finally Lian Po sighed, he would not betray Zhao Guo, this was his bottom line.

The future described by the other party made him yearn for it, but it was a pity that he could not see it.

"In that case, I will fulfill the old general's loyalty."

Tian Hao did not try to persuade him any more, instead he ducked behind Lian Po and slapped his vest with a palm, breaking his heart veins. However, he used his true energy to nourish his internal organs so that he could last longer. By the way, Lian Po's soul was temporarily extracted.

It is difficult for a determined person like Lian Po to persuade with words, so he did not persuade him before, but only answered the doubts in the other party's mind.

Although Lian Po still did not agree in the end, it did not mean that his efforts were in vain. It more or less caused some changes in his heart. This is the basis for the real persuasion action that follows.

"They say there is great terror between life and death. I wonder, old general, after you die once, will you be able to see through the false reality and face the future?"

Looking at the lifeless Lian Po, Tian Hao muttered to himself, then turned and left, taking the empty wine bottle and dispersing the smell of alcohol in the air.

Of course, I didn't forget to clean up the pair of chopsticks I used. All traces of myself were also cleaned up, leaving no trace.

Even the dishes on the plate have been arranged, and every detail has been paid attention to.

After a while, the jailer came in to check and saw Lian Po lying on the table with his shackles on his head. At first, the jailer thought that Lian Po was drunk, but when he walked behind, he realized that Lian Po's expression was not right, and he reached out to check. No longer breathing.

"No, General Lian Po is dead!"

The jailer was shocked and hurriedly ran out to report the incident. The cell leader also hurriedly reported the incident after learning about it. This kind of thing was not something he could handle.

Not long after, Zhao Jie personally brought people over. He frowned and looked at Lian Po's body with a very ugly expression.

Lian Po still did not make changes, which made it difficult to do some things.

"Go and see."

Zhao Jie, who did not give up, signaled to the people who brought him, and the three of them stepped forward. Two of them examined Lian Po's body, and even introduced the inner energy into his body to explore the cause of death.

The last person pressed his palm on Lian Po's head, and after a while the three of them had the result.

"He died because he used his martial arts to break his heart!"

"There is no remnant of any spiritual power, completely dead!"

After hearing this result, Zhao Jie's face darkened even more, and he sighed after a long time.

"A rich burial!"

Although Lian Po's stubbornness made him very angry, after all, he was the one who was wrong in this matter. Lian Po also made great contributions to Zhao Guoli. Now that he is dead, there is no need to target him anymore.

The next thing was simple. The coffin was prepared for Lian Po, and the heirs who were found to have problems were also sent away and buried together, and they were buried on the same day.

He didn't go to hold a funeral. After all, Lian Po's family was basically wiped out by the Tuan, so there was no point in holding a funeral.

However, all the children under the age of ten in Lian Po's family were missing, and Zhao Jie didn't pay much attention to them.

There are many heroic and righteous people in Yan and Zhao, so it is normal for someone to rescue Lian Po's family.

There is no need to pursue this matter, and at the same time, they do not have the extra manpower to pursue it.

The [-]-strong army and the accompanying masters were all wiped out, causing them heavy losses. Now that everything is unstable, it is no longer appropriate to cause trouble.
