Chapter 102: Massacre, way out

Five hundred and twelve years of the Bai Kingdom

The Qin and Zhao armies fought in Changping. Qin general Bai Qi defeated the Zhao army. More than 400,000 Zhao soldiers were captured by the Qin army. After hearing this, the King of Zhao quickly sent an envoy to Qin to sue for peace. As long as the soldiers were released, Zhao could offer land.

Night, Changping, Qin Army Camp

At this time, the Qin army had collected all the weapons and equipment of the more than 400,000 Zhao soldiers. Zhao Jun also entered the prisoner of war camp under the supervision of the Qin army. That night, Bai Qi received a secret message from Xianyang. After reading the letter, Bai Qi felt cold sweat dripping from his back and his hands couldn't stop shaking.

On the second day, Bai Qi summoned the generals and said expressionlessly: "Trap and kill all Zhao troops!"

The generals were shocked, and Bai Qi said: "Zhao soldiers are capricious. If we don't kill them all, there may be another trouble."

Some generals wanted to speak, but Bai Qi stopped him. Bai Qi said: "No need to say more, I have made up my mind, and I will bear all the consequences!"

So the Qin army deceived the Zhao army into digging a large pit to store water. When the pit was almost dug, the Qin army pushed all the more than 400,000 Zhao soldiers into the pit and buried them with soil. Some Zhao soldiers struggled to climb up the pit. , but was mercilessly shot and killed by the Qin army soldiers, and then thrown down.

Because there was an order from above, 400,000 heads were counted among the soldiers participating in the war. For the sake of my own glory and wealth, I had no choice but to ask my Taoist friends to die first.

For a moment, there were cries, curses, prayers, and begging... The Zhao Jun soldiers in the pit revealed their human nature. If you observe carefully, you can see all the human expressions and expressions below. emotion.

Bai Qi stood on the hillside in the distance, watching quietly as the sounds in the distance gradually became smaller.

"General, why do you do such an outrageous thing? This is something that will be criticized by thousands of people and reviled by future generations! How can you go back to the family tree if you do this!"

Bai Qi didn't answer. The general next to him couldn't stand it and said sarcastically: "Are you so loyal to the king? Even if he asks you to destroy Huaixiang, you won't frown, right?"

Bai Qi finally looked at the general. This general was his brother from the same clan, also named Bai. Bai Qi said calmly:

"A few nights ago, I received a letter from Xianyang, saying that someone reported the rebellion in Huaixiang, and the letter also said that the king is worried about Zhao's more than 400,000 troops. What are you worried about? Worry about releasing these people. When we go back, Zhao is still so powerful, do you have any ideas?"

The general immediately said: "Huaixiang rebellion? How is it possible? Most of the children in the family are serving in the army!"

Bai Qi said softly: "Is it important? What matters is whether the king wants to rebel in Huaixiang or not!"

The general suddenly became weak and muttered as if he was lost in thought: "What should we do?"

Bai Qi sighed and said, "It's okay, I've solved it." After saying that, he tapped the place where Zhao Jun was killed. Pian Jiang raised his spirits and looked over there, then suddenly looked at Bai Qi, and asked with a livid face: "How could the king do this?"

Bai Qi smiled at this time: "Why not? He has never trusted me! Even if I left the clan, didn't I arrange a deputy general to supervise me during that expedition? Just because my surname is Bai!"

After saying that, he looked at the general and said, "I estimate that I will die soon, and Zhong'er will be handed over to the clan. It doesn't matter if I am not included in the family tree. Please be sure to write Zhong'er down!"

The general looked at Bai Qi and said seriously: "General, don't worry, as long as I still have breath, I will definitely let the elders write Bai Zhong's name on the family tree, and finally report him to the Taihang Mountains."

After hearing this, Bai Qi felt relieved, looked into the distance and said, "I heard that the current head of the Bai family is also named Zhong. It's really the same name but different fate!"

This entrapment and killing operation took the Qin army ten days to complete. In the end, only 240 young soldiers were ordered by Bai Qi to be released to Zhao.

The world suddenly heard the news that Qin General Bai Qi had captured more than 400,000 Zhao soldiers and killed them. Some people still didn't believe it, thinking who dared to risk the disapproval of the world and kill so many soldiers.

However, it has been confirmed through various channels that someone entered the Zhao country and found that every household in the Zhao country was naked and every household was crying. It was a sad scene. Seeing this scene, everyone could not help but not believe it.

So the world was in an uproar, and all the princes in the world began to denounce Qin. Suddenly, Qin became the world's sinner. Originally, Qin wanted to destroy Zhao in one go.

But suddenly I learned that King Bai was summoning the princes of the world to jointly attack the unjust State of Qin in Daliang. The slogan was "Fight the unjust! Condemn the people and attack the crime!"

Countries responded one after another. Qi, Yan, and Chu used almost all their troops, and South Korea also took advantage of this to break away from Qin and join the coalition.

After Qin learned the news, he captured six more cities of Zhao and quickly returned to his army.

Five hundred and thirteen years of the Bai Kingdom

Qi State's 500,000 people, Yan State's 300,000 people, Bai State's 300,000 people, Chu State's 500,000 people, and South Korea's 200,000 people, adding up to a total of 1.8 million people. Led by Gongsun Tuo of Bai State, they marched from Daliang to Qin State. He left the country's Hangu Pass. If the coalition forces really hit Hangu Pass, the Qin army will lose a large area of ​​​​Kandong, and Qin's strength will lose at least one-third. Therefore, the King of Qin had to fight the enemy with all his strength.

In addition to the original 600,000, the King of Qin issued a nationwide mobilization order, granted first-class titles to the people of the country, and drew 400,000 green soldiers to form an army. A total of 1 million were waiting for the arrival of the coalition forces in Rongyang.

When the coalition forces arrived in Rongyang, both sides tried their best. If they still couldn't stop the Qin army this time, there would really be no hope for the Six Nations.

The King of Qin personally took charge of the Qin State, and his generals included Bai Qi, Wang Ben, Wang Lu, Meng Wu, etc. Most of them were experienced generals who came up through the Qin State's military merit system. The generals of the coalition forces seemed to be disconnected because Zhao Guo did not participate.

Looking at both sides, the Qin army, even with one million troops, is in neat formation, like a whole. Looking at the coalition army, because there are 1.8 million, even Bai Tuo can manage it with many powerful Bai country generals. However, there is also the logistics of the army, which is also very chaotic.

By the time the coalition forces opened the way to Rongyang, it was already in great chaos. The soldiers did not know the soldiers, and the generals did not know the generals. Bai Tuo was drowned in some trivial matters in the army every day, and he had to deal with them. If he did not deal with them, it would definitely become a big problem.

An army of 1.8 million people is like a moving super metropolis. Bai Tuo can only clearly understand the situation of groups of 100,000 people and above. For the soldiers at the bottom, he can only rely on the generals who manage 100,000 people to solve everything.

Here, King Qin was originally a little uneasy, fearing that the rise of Qin would be ruined for his generation, but when he saw the chaotic coalition forces in the distance, he smiled so happily that he even burst into tears.

The King of Qin asked the general if he could attack while the coalition forces were establishing a foothold to maintain stability. The generals of the Qin army saw the chaos of the coalition forces and asked for battle one after another! The King of Qin decided to attack with all his troops, so Qin's millions of troops were like a war machine, slowly crushing the coalition forces.

But on the coalition side, except for the soldiers in the front who saw the Qin army attacking and issued orders, the soldiers in the rear had no idea what the front was doing, and some were even setting up camp.

Soon, the Qin army crashed into the coalition forces, and the coalition forces collapsed at the first touch. The coalition forces collapsed. The soldiers in the rear did not react. They only saw those in front running, so they ran with them. In this way, the largest war in history ended dramatically.

The coalition soldiers all over the mountains and plains ran towards the back, and behind them were the dark Qin troops wearing black military uniforms who were chasing them in small teams. From a high altitude, it looked like a big black mouth swallowing up the colorful coalition soldiers.

The chase lasted for a day and night. The coalition generals also gave up on gathering their own generals and retreated directly to their own borders to gather soldiers. The Qin army also withdrew its troops and returned home after the pursuit, because after continuous wars, the country's domestic food and grass had reached the end of its strength.

Bai Wang Baizhong learned that the defeat of the coalition forces was so complete, so he finally knew the direction of the world. So he convened the princes to discuss the Bai family's way out, why it was not the Bai Kingdom, because Bai Zhong believed that the Bai Kingdom might not be able to survive.

In a courtyard of the Bai Mansion, more than thirty Bai family members gathered together. Bai Zhong sat high in the main seat, with Prince Guang and Gongsun Tuo below. The other Bai family members formed a fan-shaped seat around the three of them.

I saw that most of the Bai family members on the left side of the fan shape were wearing Confucian robes, and most of the Bai family members on the right side were wearing ink clothes. The ones in the middle were Bai family members who did not belong to either side. Among them, there was an old man who was very unique, sitting casually in the middle. As if falling asleep.

"Bai Lang! There's a meeting!"

Yes, this lazy old man is the Taoist Bai Lang. When Bai Lang heard the reminder, he quickly sat up straight to show that he was listening, but with his slightly narrowed eyes, anyone could tell that he was not listening at all. .

Because of Bai Lang's special nature, no one talks about him anymore.

At this time, Bai Zhong was ninety-three years old, already very old, and the ravines on his face were like the deepest valleys in the Taihang Mountains.

"Bang!" The order whip sounded, and the field became quiet.

Bai Zhong's unique old man's voice slowly said: "Let's start the meeting! Cough! Cough!"

After coughing for a while, Bai Zhong continued: "The coalition is defeated. I estimate that the Qin State will dominate the world. Where should our Bai family and even the Bai State go? Let's discuss it! Cough! Cough!"

A Confucian scholar said: "Master, I think the situation in the world is not yet clear. The Six Kingdoms still exist. As long as the Six Kingdoms unite, we still have a chance!"

The sober Bai Shizi said: "Otherwise! Apart from Qin, the strongest country in the world now is Zhao. However, after Zhao Guo experienced the battle of Changping, his vitality will definitely be severely damaged and he will no longer be able to compete with Qin."

Qi has never been keen on fighting Qin, and when King Yan Zhao of Qin attacked Qi, Qi was unable to withstand Qin's army.

Needless to say, Yan State and South Korea are not even as good as our Bai State. How to resist Qin State? As for the Chu State, although the Chu State was large, its army was really weak, and it suffered more defeats than victory in several major battles.

As for our Bai country, in these years of fighting, we have continuously lost cities and territory, and lost many soldiers, especially the generals in the country. The losses in previous battles have been very serious, and they have even been lost for generations.

On the other hand, Qin State, in addition to its original territory, also occupies the land of Bashu, as well as the wealthy Shangdang area and Yiyang and other places. The Qin army's combat effectiveness is also the best in the world, and no one can resist it. "

"Then what should we do? When the world becomes clear, we will surrender to Qin?"
