The Six Arts of the Gentleman in the Bright Moon of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 575: Not as bad as [Subscribe*Monthly Ticket Request]

"..."

The entire central army tent was silent.

They also thought that when they felt that their own fighting methods were too cruel and inhumane, Bingjun would have a better plan that would not harm the harmony of nature.

As a result, the spiritual comfort you mentioned is that your schemes are even more vicious than ours.

"Can you tell me what your Majesty's plan is?" Wang Jian asked hesitantly.

Meng Yi glanced at his brother, and when he saw Meng Tian nod, he cleared his throat.

"Your Majesty's plan is..."

All the Qin army generals pricked up their ears and some even took out their brushes to record.

"Find some dead pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep, pile them up, add some corpses of enemy soldiers, and ferment them like manure for ten days or half a month. Then use catapults to throw the corpses of these people and livestock into Yanyu City. Within ten days, the whole city of Yanyu will be ravaged by the plague and there will be no normal people left. Even more than half of the people in the entire Zhao State will die."

"Hiss~" All the Qin army generals took a breath of cold air. What a vicious plan.

Compared with the plan he had just thought of, which was to flood Yanyu, burn Yanyu, bury Yanyu and Bingjun, the most cruel plan he had thought of seemed so harmless.

It really can give people great psychological comfort.

"This... Jun Bing really did it!" Wang Jian had no doubt that Yan Yan could come up with such a cruel plan.

Because Bingzhou really did this!

When Li Mu ambushed the 300,000-strong Hu army, Yan Yan led 3,000 cavalrymen from Yanmen Pass deep into the enemy's rear to create chaos.

Killing, arson, poisoning, and spreading plague are all normal operations.

Especially under Bing Jun there are the four evil men of Baiyue.

A ghost with infinite strength and unparalleled power, as gentle as the Water Flame Spirit Princess, a hundred ghosts roaming at night to drive away corpse demons, the king of all snakes and the king of all poisons.

Among them, Wushuang Gui was trained to become the bravest warrior in the Huben Camp of the Yulin Guard, and some of his hostility was also eliminated.

Yan Lingji was even taken into the harem.

However, the Corpse-Driving Demon and the King of a Hundred Poisons rarely appear again.

These two people were the culprits who caused the chaos in the rear of the Hu people.

During Bingzhou's Western Expedition, the two of them rarely appeared in public for a while, creating Danlin and Linhu's Forest of Hundred Ghosts and Thousand Miles of Poison Barrier Zone.

After the entire Danlin and Linhu tribes evacuated Bingzhou, the water sources and forest lands were contaminated by plague and poison by the two men.

However, these methods were too detrimental to the harmony of nature. In addition, after Bingjun was given the title of Northern Emperor, which was tacitly accepted by historians, he kept it a secret for the sake of respectability, so no one made these things public.

However, as a high-ranking military official of the Qin State, Wang Jian still knew some inside information.

Although the plague and poison were lifted by the Corpse-Driving Demon and the King of Poisons after the war in Bingzhou ended, it would probably take several years to restore Danlin and Linhu to their previous state.

Just to conceal the truth for the respected one, Wang Jian did not want to make this matter public, otherwise he would offend Bingzhou, historians and Confucianists.

Even the Qin State would not tolerate him.

Some things cannot be made public.

"It's enough for you to know this, and you can't spread it to others!" Wang Jian said in a deep voice.

The name of the poisonous scholar is not given in vain.

"Your Majesty said, if the generals feel that this plan is against the harmony of nature, then Your Majesty has another plan, which is slightly milder!"

Meng Yi continued. "Gentle is better, gentle is better!"

The Qin army generals were a little scared, and they almost became the executors of this plan.

If Bing Jun really took over the army and adopted this strategy, as soldiers, they could only obey orders resolutely.

I feel a little scared when I think about it, fortunately Bingjun has no intention of seizing power.

"Your Majesty, Qin's attack on Zhao is, after all, a long and arduous expedition. Even if Qin moved its granary from Chengdu to Guanzhong, it is still far away from Zhao. In the stalemate, Qin's grain and grass will inevitably run out before Zhao's."

"Your Majesty, after the food supply is cut off and before the food and grass from the rear arrive, we can mix the enemy soldiers with the military rations to make jerky, which can last for three days. With the Qin State's post system, after the most difficult three days, the food and grass from the rear will surely arrive."

Meng Yi continued.

"Stop talking!" Even though he had been through hundreds of battles, Wang Jian still felt that this was a bit cruel.

When Wu'an Jun slaughtered 400,000 Zhao surrendered soldiers, everyone thought it was cruel. However, as an eyewitness, Wang Jian knew very well that it was a last resort.

Because the Qin army could not provide food and fodder for 400,000 surrendered soldiers, or in other words, the Qin State did not expect that Bai Qi could capture 400,000 surrendered soldiers.

However, these surrendered soldiers could not be sent back to Zhao State, and ultimately the blame had to be borne by Wu'an Jun.

Even the young Wang Jian thought it was too cruel at that time.

But now looking at Bingjun's strategy, Wang Jian suddenly felt that Wu'anjun's killing of 400,000 surrendered soldiers was not so cruel that it was hard to accept.

It is better to die at the hands of the enemy than to lose your morals and commit cannibalism.

Wu Anjun at least prevented this human tragedy of cannibalism from happening, allowing those soldiers to die heroically, while he took all the infamy on himself.

If Wu Anjun was replaced by Bingjun...

Wang Jian couldn't imagine what the scene would be like.

The last trace of estrangement in my heart towards Wu Anjun also disappeared.

Although they all knew that Wu Anjun had no choice but to do so, they could not get over the hurdle of conscience and could only blame the crime on Wu Anjun and comfort themselves by saying that it was the general's request and they were just soldiers who had to do it, thus gaining a little human comfort.

However, looking at Bingjun's strategy again, they felt that Wu'anjun had a hard time. In order to prevent the Zhao surrendered soldiers from bearing the stigma of cannibalism, he took all the blame alone and gave those surrendered soldiers the title of heroes.

"Although the walls of Yanyu City are high and thick, we are still able to take it down!" Wang Jian shook his head decisively.

I was almost led astray.

This vicious plan is indeed easy to use and causes the least loss, but after using it, it will be difficult for you to gain a foothold in the world again.

As the number one person in the Qin army today, he still has his own pride and plans, and would not resort to such cruel means.

"Yanyu City is built on the mountain, with the Taihang Mountains at its back. The entire city is surrounded by the foothills. If you want to attack Yanyu, it is very difficult to break through from the front. However, there is a beast path where the walls on both sides of Yanyu City connect to the mountains."

Wang Jian slowly told his plan.

These animal paths are known only to herbalists and woodcutters, and the large army cannot be allowed to pass through them.

However, a small team of dozens of death-defying soldiers could easily descend from the mountains onto the city wall under the cover of night, occupy a section of the wall, and create a safe battlefield to give the attacking army an opportunity to gain access.

They really wouldn't resort to such brutal tactics.

So Wang Jian spoke quickly, fearing that other generals would be led astray and agree with Bing Jun's strategy.

This kind of thinking must be cleared away before anything is determined.
