Jagged Legion

Xu Bing was forcibly taken down to heal his wounds, and He Xiaowang wanted to take advantage of this, not to kill Xu Bing, but also to control the military power very well, even if Zhao Gao knew something, he had nothing to say.As soon as He Xiaowang arrived here, he asked Xu Bing to put down his guard, and then controlled Xu Bing's confidants overnight to prevent other generals from rioting when Xu Bing was under house arrest today. Fortunately, everything went smoothly.He Xiaowang looked at the generals and smiled with satisfaction.He Xiaowang immediately arranged a combat mission, replacing all the generals with the people he brought, and ordered Zhao Guang to lead 10 horses to surround the Huns to prevent the barbarians from escaping and turning into guerrilla warfare again. He also ordered Li Longxiang to lead [-] cavalry to block the attack. The food and grass of the barbarians, let Li Xian lead five thousand light cavalry, and ordered him to break into the barbarian positions, divide them into two parts, and cut them open out of thin air.He Xiaowang ordered the army to attack overnight and make a quick decision without delaying the military plane at all.Soon Zhao Guang led the army to meet the barbarian army. Zhao Guang surrounded the barbarian army with twice the force of the barbarian.The barbarians lead an almost barbaric life, with scant clothes and backward weapons. When encountering the frontal battle of the Qin army, they will soon be unable to support them. Running, the heads of the barbarian soldiers fell to the ground wherever they went.Li Longxiang had already controlled the barbarian's granary before Zhao Guang launched a large-scale attack. This time, even if the barbarian wanted to burn the food, it was too late.

Seeing that Li Xian was almost killed inside, Zhao Guang immediately ordered the army to advance, and the [-] troops advanced step by step, which was really overwhelming.The barbarians couldn't resist at all. All the arrows they shot hit the armor, which was useless. The knives they took out were all simple waist knives, which couldn't compete with the powerful Qin army at all.Soon Zhao Guang piled up the barbarians in a very small space, and there were not only old people, but also women, children, and soldiers mixed together.Zhao Guang had no choice but to immediately ask He Xiaowang to kill or let him go.After receiving Zhao Guang's report, He Xiaowang pondered.Now is a critical moment where it is impossible to arrange a satisfactory life. Before He Xiaowang came, he had already set up a strategy: kill and suppress as a supplement, comfort as the main, first easy and then difficult, and gradually advance.With such a sixteen-character policy, relying on benevolence and righteousness to gradually naturalize the barbarians, no one expected that the situation here would be so severe. He Xiaowang had no choice but to take extreme measures to quickly stabilize the situation.He Xiaowang re-adjusted his strategy: suppression and killing are the main priority, appeasement is the second, fight if you can, and advance quickly.Only by relying on such violent suppression can a rapid stabilization be achieved.

He Xiaowang ordered Zhao Guang: Massacre the city.Li Xian was shocked when he heard He Xiaowang's order. Li Xian is a standard Confucian student who yearns for the standards of a saint. He believes that God has the virtue of good life and opposes innocent killings. He didn't expect He Xiaowang to order mass killings today. Even women and children are not spared.Li Xian rushed to Zhao Guang: "Zhao Guang! You can't give orders! These are just some old people and children!" Zhao Guang: "Li Xian, sir has issued an order, I understand your thoughts, but you must know that sir is in a What is the situation? I, Zhao Guang, am a rough man. I don’t have such a good brain as you, Li Xian, but I also know the word benevolence and righteousness. Today’s massacre of the city is really a last resort. Mr. has internal and external troubles, we can’t hold him back. Okay! Come on! Kill, don't keep the baby!!!" Fifty thousand barbarian soldiers and civilians were all killed, and no one was spared.Li Xian returned to the camp and knelt in front of He Xiaowang. He Xiaowang hurried up: "Li Xian, why are you doing this? Don't you know the painstaking efforts of the master?" Li Xian: "Sir! Fifty thousand soldiers and civilians, not one Fortunately, you are a master of Confucianism, you should know the hearts of the world! How can you give orders to massacre unarmed people?" He Xiaowang let go of Li Xian and stood with his hands behind his back: "Li Xian, as soldiers of the Great Qin, we should Understand what loyalty and righteousness are. You and I know our situation better than anyone else. Although Xu Bing and we are temporarily under house arrest, we will release him in a short time. Although most generals are still on our side and obey orders, but We don’t know what will happen in the rear. It can be said that Mr. is in a dilemma. If you don’t kill the 50 barbarians, do you think it’s kind to them to keep them as slaves? You are wrong, there is no freedom, let others Humiliation, life is worse than death for them! Do you understand? Li Xian, you have followed me for many years, and fought in the South and the North. When did you ever become ruthless? It is different now. I have the lives of [-] troops in my hands, and many The brothers who fought with me in the north and south. If I am not careful, I will lose the lives of many brothers!" Li Xian had already burst into tears: "Sir, Li Xian knew it was wrong. He didn't understand the painstaking efforts of Mr. He Xiaowang:" Get up quickly, since you and I claim to be Confucianists, we should understand what righteousness is. I, He Xiaowang, a handsome and benevolent teacher, is here. Unless I die in battle, I will not pacify South Vietnam and vow not to return to the Central Plains!" Li Xian looked at it firmly Crane Xiaowang.

This war was the first time He Xiaowang ordered massacres, and it was also the cruelest war.He Xiaowang had no choice but to rely on violent suppression to stabilize the inside.When He Xiaowang received the news of their victory, he was neither sad nor happy.With the victory of this battle, the problem of food and grass is no longer worrying, and they can spend a period of time with peace of mind, which is enough for 50 troops for half a year.

Zhao Gao had already received a report from Xu Bing's confidant Flying Horse, explaining He Xiaowang's recent movements, killing [-] barbarians, and killing Xu Bing's confidant General Li Hai. Now Xu Bing has been placed under house arrest. The control is in the hands of He Xiaowang.Zhao Gao looked terrified and immediately reported to Hu Hai.Hu Hai was watching the servant girl jumping to dance, when he saw the news brought by Zhao Gao, he immediately threw his wine glass on the ground: "This Xu Bing!! He knows how to drink and play with women all day long, and it is useless for him to do business! What should we do now?" Zhao Gao: "Young master, although this Xu Bing has no ability, he is obedient. It is true that He Xiaowang controls the army now, but it will only be temporary at that time. He Xiaowang uses iron and blood methods, Let’s take the opportunity to…” Hu Hai: “Don’t hesitate here!! Say it quickly!” Zhao Gao: “My lord, what do you think the emperor will do if he finds out about this matter?” Hu Hai: "How can the emperor react? Hearing that He Xiaowang won the battle and the crisis of food and grass has been temporarily resolved, hey, even if He Xiaowang kills Xu Bing, the emperor will turn a blind eye. What will happen? Maybe He Xiaowang will be rewarded." Zhao Gao: "No. My son, let's see how we tell the emperor. If we change the way of speaking, what do you think will happen? He Xiaowang didn't discuss with all the officers and soldiers, he mobilized the army without authorization, and appointed nepotism, changed generals, the officers and soldiers in the army complained, the military discipline was sloppy, what's more, he killed the general Li Hai without authorization, and put his lieutenant general Xu Bing under house arrest. Humph , He Xiaowang is not going to rebel, right? So, how will the emperor react?" Hu Hai laughed: "Zhao Gao, Zhao Gao, good. I will leave this matter to you, don't let me I'm disappointed. Let's go." Zhao Gao: "Don't worry, my lord, the charge of rebellion is sure to kill! I'll report it to the emperor right away."

Abang Palace.The first emperor had just taken the medicine, and in the past few days, Qin Shihuang gradually felt that his body was not as good as before.Zhao Gao came in and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, let the slaves serve you." The First Emperor said, "Zhao Gao, I am not in good health recently. You have read the memorials from various places a few days ago. How is the battle in the south of the Five Ridges?" Zhao Gao knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, I dare not say anything! I have encountered..." Shi Huang frowned: "What's going on? Tell me." Zhao Gao: "Your Majesty, General Crane is going to rebel!" Qin Shihuang yelled: "Presumptuous! Zhao Gao, do you know what crime you have committed!" Zhao Gao calmly said, "Please report to the emperor. Then make a decision. The minister Zhao Gao is dedicated to the world of the Great Qin Dynasty." Ah!" The First Emperor: "Let's listen." Zhao Gao: "General He Xiaowang has been acting frequently recently. First, he put the deputy general Xu Bing under house arrest. You know that Xu Bing is loyal to you!! He Xiaowang started to act wantonly again. Supporting his party members, killing Li Hai, and placing Zhao Guang and Li Xian in prominent positions, not only that, Xu Bing's subordinates reported that even now, many generals in the army are still being suppressed by He Xiaowang in various ways. Under the pretext of house arrest, the army complained a lot. Although He Xiaowang found a part of the main force of the barbarians and solved a certain amount of food and grass, He Xiaowang has the whole country in his hands. The emperor, even if He Xiaowang is the son-in-law, if he There is a heart of disobedience, and the Great Qin State is worrying." After Zhao Gao said this in one breath, his nose was running, he was really loyal, and the world could learn from him, and he secretly glanced at the First Emperor.Sure enough, the first emperor felt a shock in his heart. If it really happened that He Xiaowang led his army to rebel, the consequences would be disastrous if he fought back.However, Qin Shihuang would not doubt He Xiaowang, who controlled the army, because of Zhao Gao's few words. He Xiaowang's multiple identities determined that He Xiaowang's influence was not comparable to others.

Zhao Gao saw that Emperor Shi Huang's face gradually calmed down, and he knew that the emperor once again gave up on He Xiaowang.The first emperor was not such a fool. Even if he knew that He Xiaowang had the intention of disobedience, he couldn't do anything to He Xiaowang now. He Xiaowang has an army of 50, and it is easy to rebel. If He Xiaowang is really forced Well, maybe something will happen.Now is not the time to punish He Xiaowang.Besides, He Xiaowang, as Princess Qin Ning's son-in-law, would not have sent him there if he hadn't trusted He Xiaowang.Although He Xiaowang's actions were repugnant, but considering that the emperor's orders would not be accepted, Shi Huangdi still did not become wary of He Xiaowang.This is enough to show the great talent of the emperor through the ages.But Zhao Gao didn't give up on this, he also knew that he was just beating He Xiaowang a little bit now, which made the emperor have a grudge against He Xiaowang in his heart.
