Country and Beauty

Shi Le's heart suddenly tensed up, he finally came back to his senses, from the way Zhang Bin said it, it seemed like he was arranging matters behind the scenes? Shi Le looked at Zhang Bin with a profound look and asked curiously: "Sir, the Qin Army has yet to attack the city. Although there is no news from Wan, Nirvana, An, Du Yan, Le City, Shan Du and other counties, it does not mean that the situation will be serious. I'm afraid Mister is overthinking it! "

Actually, Zhang Bin's heart right now was very complicated. Back then, when Xie Fei had just risen to power, Zhang Bin really didn't think much of him. To be more accurate, it was the opposition of the classes. Although the emperor was the ruler of a nation, the world was not the emperor's. In fact, it was the Scholars's world. No matter how big the world was, it still needed to be governed by warriors. Without the support of a scholar, it was impossible to accomplish such a feat. However, what Zhang Bin did not expect was that in these past few years, Xie Fei could be said to have miraculously gotten stronger, and the power that he grasped in his hands, was no longer something that Shi Le could stand on equal footing with.

He first used his weak forces to dominate the Western Regions, and then with lightning speed, annihilated Ba Shu Li Xiong. After that, he used his strength to destroy the main force of karma and freshness. That kind of power was extremely shocking. Zhang Bin saw it all, if he said that there was no regret in his heart, it would be pure nonsense. However, this was often the case. One step wrong. Wrong step. Even though he was regretting it, Zhang Bin did not yearn for it. Go to Xie Fei? Putting aside the fact that Shi Le treated him with great importance, he was carefully observing what Xie Fei had done. Not only had Shi Le lost his ability to continue fighting for the rights to rule the world, Shi Le had also started to waver from his god-like attitude towards him. What he hated the most was for Shi Le to actually take a tough attitude towards the migrating citizens and massacre the Henan Province. Since the situation could not be allowed to go wrong, Zhang Bin had the idea of retreating.

There were five realms for strategists, the first realm was planning, Zhang Bin was a smart person, he had a large ambition at times, he hoped that he could support a wise master to help the world, and save tens of thousands of people in the fire and water, but in this time and space, many things had deviated from their original path, causing Zhang Bin to lose his confidence in Shi Le. As a strategist, if he couldn't even preserve his own life, how could he scheme against people, armies, empires, and the world?

Zhang Bin could not help but sigh and answer: "In the end, I was just overthinking it. But, sigh, not only is Xie Fei brave and cunning, his strategists are all extraordinary, I really don't know what kind of tricks they would think of! Nanyang is the final foundation of our army, if something goes wrong, how should our master know? "

Shi Le said in a disapproving tone: "Although we have lost this battle, the Qin Army is currently in a miserable state. If there is a way, then we will lose, and I am afraid that they will not be able to attack the South Call again in the near future. Although the Qin Army is strong, they do not have any siege equipment right now, so don't worry, Sir! No matter how scheming he was, Xie Fei was unable to fly over the South Call. If we want to snatch the South Call, they can only fight it out, but when it is time to attack it head on, our army will have the advantage of the city, so not only will our cavalry not have the advantage, it will also cause Xie Fei to be afraid and unable to unleash his power.

Seeing that Shi Le did not listen to what he said, Zhang Bin could not help but feel a little disappointed. Zhang Bin thought about it again, and felt that it was possible for Shi Le to say something. Therefore, he said to Shi Le: "If you rely on just the walls of the South Call, I am afraid it will be difficult to withstand the attacks of the Qin Army. It would be better to build another Weng City in South Call City. "

Shi Le knew that it was Zhang Bin's invention to have such an existence. When he was still in Xiang Guo, he had heavily injured Qin Army. Shi Le said: "I will follow Mister's plans."

Zhang Bin said: The Qin Army is not attacking the city right now, so my lord can send people to check the Wan City, to confirm that there is no worry behind us. If there is no worry behind us, it is not impossible for Xie Fei to be defeated.

After Shi Le heard this, he excitedly asked: "Does mister have a plan to defeat the enemy?"

Zhang Bin seemed to have accumulated quite a bit of strength as he slowly said, "The only option left to us today is to give it a try.

At that moment, a soldier ran over to report in panic, "My lord, it's not good."

"What's going on?" Shi Le was originally not in a good mood due to his recent defeat, coupled with the fact that Zhang Bin had gotten sick, it was easy for him to be angry.

Facing Shi Le's killing intent, the soldier was scared out of his wits. Fortunately, the soldier was nimble, and said to Shi Le: "Master, Qin Army has put all the captives under the city walls, from the looks of it, are you prepared to attack the city?"

Shi Le was still afraid that Xie Fei would not attack the city. If Xie Fei attacked and concentrated all of his power on the South Call, then he would not have any extra troops to attack from the back. To Shi Le, this news was not too bad.

Shi Le consoled Zhang Bin for a while before taking his people and leaving.

After Shi Le left, Zhang Bin suddenly opened his dull eyes. At this time, a young man stood in the room, and Zhang Bin's only son was called Zhang Bo. He was only fourteen years old this year and not yet weak. Zhang Bo said to Zhang Bin: "Father, do you need to do this? Who dares to attack you? Although Qin State is powerful now, I am still confident that I can win against you. "

"You're still young, there are some things you don't quite understand. You only need to remember to do as I tell you. " Zhang Bin continued: "Xie Fei has already reached large success in terms of power, and my lord does not have any reinforcements. It would already be good if Sima Chi did not add insult to injury at this time, and would definitely not support my lord. So if we continue to fight, my lord will definitely lose."

"Yes." Zhang Bo said, "But father, could it be that hundreds of thousands of gentle, humble, and united armies can't break through Changan?"

Ye Zichen looked at his son's puzzled expression. Zhang Bin said: "Bo'er. Let me ask you, what is a nation? If I help my lord and find the world, how would history evaluate me? On the surface, I seem to be in limitless glory, but right now, I'm in the middle of a surging undercurrent, and my life is in danger at any moment. The lord was so angry that he slaughtered hundreds of thousands of citizens of Henan Province. The Chinese had never been a people that easily succumbed to their will. If their lord took a gentle approach, it might be possible to fuse with the Chinese. However, none of those bloody tactics would succeed. Although an iron-blooded wrist could show off for a moment, it was also against the will of the people. Back then, if Cao Mengde was not so angry as to massacre the entire city in Xuzhou, then the world would not have been divided into three factions and would have been dominated by one family. "

Zhang Bo suddenly understood that the conflict between the Chinese and the Capricorn was no longer an issue. If Shi Le continued to maintain a strong deterrent force, the Chinese would not dare to make a move, but if he lost control of himself, he would face the furious retaliation of the Chinese. As Shi Le's chief strategist, Zhang Bin, he would definitely take the lead, and even if he could hide for a while, he would not be able to hide for the rest of his life.

"To fight for the rising of the Yan Huang descendants in this world, to die for the inheritance of the Chinese civilization." Zhang Bo said, "Father, I understand why Xie Fei would use such a simple and honest sentence to gather so many loyal and loyal men. Although this does not have the benefits of a large amount of money, this does not have the honor of leaving behind its history. It was just that this faint sense of national honor and disgrace caused thousands of people to be willing to turn their backs on the clan and sow blood all over the earth. When I saw that Qin Army had more than half of the casualties and was even split into dozens of pieces, if it was any other army, they would have already been defeated, but Qin Army could still fight to the death. "

Zhang Bin said: "My father once told me to work hard to bring glory to the Zhang family, I have been cautious and diligent my entire life, I do not dare to slack off, and today, this goal is very difficult to achieve. Although it is not perfect, the only choice is to keep the Zhang family's inheritance."

After a long while, Zhang Bo raised his head and said, "I understand, father. Don't worry. I will do as you say. This is the medicine I got from the travelling husband last year. As long as my father drinks it, within twelve hours, his entire body will be lifeless, like a dead person. And I've ordered the doctor to test the medicine on himself, and he's safe. Furthermore, that doctor has already died, so no one will know about this matter. "

Just as Zhang Bin was about to drink the bowl of medicine, Shi Le led the way and arrived at the entrance of the northern city of South Call. Shi Le suddenly felt stuffy. He saw that most of the ten thousand elite cavalrymen who disappeared half a month ago were actually kneeling in front of the city walls. They had all taken off their jackets, tied them up with leather ropes, and were bare-chested. One thousand people in a row, just two arrows away from the city wall.

Shi Le knew that this Xie Fei had never been one to act according to the rules, but now, he understood Xie Fei's intention. At the same time, Shi Le's army, who had suffered a severe setback due to the unfavorable outcome of the previous battle, became thoroughly enraged by Xie Fei's provocation, and became full of fighting spirit. Xie Fei did not seem to mind at all, facing the clamoring sounds of the enemy soldier s on the city walls, he did not care at all.

It turned out that the main culprit behind the Henan Province's massacre was Ma Qiu, and the reason for the massacre was because Ma Qiu suggested it to Shi Le. Furthermore, Shi Hu and he were the most thorough executors of the massacre, the two of them, more than twenty thousand Capricorn Soldiers, in the span of a month, used their horses to charge against each other, shoot arrows, chop sabers, bury people alive, and skin them alive.

Far away in another time and place, the same carnage took place on Chinese soil. This is a permanent pain for the Chinese. Now, Xie Fei was angry, he was furious, fighting in the battlefield, no matter how many casualties there were, there was nothing wrong with it. You can't just hope that the enemy would be merciful and show mercy to you. However, using a proper army to kill an unarmed people was not something a human should do. Originally, Xie Fei was not someone who would repay grievances with his virtue. He was a person who would repay blood with blood and vengeance with blood. When Xie Fei was prepared to kill all of the captured Capricorn, as the Guardian General Shi Yue, he suggested to Xie Fei, "Your Majesty, if we continue to kill all of these captives without stopping, it would be better to send these captives to the city walls and force Shi Le to sacrifice them outside the city. If Shi Le did not surrender, that would also enrage the Capricorn, and if Shi Le was not able to suppress the anger of the Capricorn Soldiers, he could very likely lure the Capricorn Soldiers out of the city.

Xie Fei calmed down immediately, he felt that Shi Yue's words were reasonable and wasn't a problem to try. If Shi Le didn't surrender, he might be able to suppress Shi Le and his army to not leave the city to fight. Even if they could not split, they could create estrangement.

Xie Fei nodded at Ba Teer, who immediately rode on his horse and arrived at the bottom of the city. Ba Teer used his extremely loud voice and shouted, "On the city walls, listen carefully. If you still don't open the gates and surrender within a moment, it will be easier to behead a thousand soldiers and slaughter the entire South Call City. All the karma people are doomed. "

Ba Teer's voice was vigorous and rough, coupled with this bloody and threatening voice, it did have an extremely strong deterring effect, to the point that when Shi Le first heard the voice coming from below the city, the angry group of soldiers instantly became silent.

However, how could a man's guts endure so many provocations? After being silent for a moment, the South Call city walls erupted with even more intense roars, and the extremely angry city guards even pulled back their arrows, preparing to use the blood of their enemies to kill the enemy who had provoked them, to wash away the humiliation they had suffered.

Ba Teer was a brave man, he took down his bow and aimed at the flag of the Shi Le Army on the middle city gate tower and shot. Ba Teer galloped back to the frontline.

Although he could not see Shi Le's expression clearly, but he could imagine that Shi Le's expression was definitely rich.

Time passed minute by minute, Shi Le calmed himself down. He had to not leave the city to fight, otherwise, with Xie Fei's intelligence, if he did not create trap now, then he would not be Xie Fei anymore. If he went out to battle now, not only would he not be able to save these captives, but he would also be able to kill more people. Shi Le was in a difficult position for a moment. On one hand, it was to follow him to war on the one hand, it was to fight on the other hand, it was the future of the entire clan. If only Zhang Bin was not sick, then it would be fine. Shi Le thought that if Zhang Bin was here, he would definitely give him a plan to deal with him.

Shi Le shouted angrily towards the people below the city: "What kind of ability is this to massacre a prisoner? If you have the ability, then let's see it on the battlefield. Little Xie Fei, if you have the ability to take down South Call City, I will naturally hand over your head. "

Xie Fei stepped forward: "Killing a prisoner is nothing, but slaughtering an unarmed commoner is nothing. Shi Ji Long, your provocation is useless against me, if you do not surrender, I will kill Shi Ji Long and your clansmen right in front of my eyes."

Unknowingly, a quarter of an hour had passed. Xie Fei said: "Time is up, carry out the execution!"

At this time, a group of people wearing all sorts of clothes appeared in front of Qin Army. These people were not unfamiliar with the captives in front of them. It was these arrogant and domineering Capricorn s who had killed over 400,000 Henan Province people.

The axe was from the Goyang people, and their ancestors were honest farmers. He clearly remembered that two months ago, the Capricorn told them to leave their hometown, so the villagers naturally would not be willing to leave their hometown.

Here they had land and a house, and when they left home they had nothing. He clearly remembered that at noon that day, when the entire village had more than three thousand citizens gathered together by the four elders (which was equivalent to the current village chief), Capricorn only asked one question. This was followed by a large-scale massacre. Many people were dead, and less than a hundred people were alive in this whole forested area. After the arrival of Qin Army, Fu Tou wanted to join the Qin Army to take revenge for his fellow villagers. However, he received a notice today, requesting him to come here to take revenge.

The axe was tightly gripping the ghost blade in his hand. This was a huge machete that was specially used to chop people's heads. He had the power of the peasants, but he had never killed anyone. The axe was a little scared, but more nervous.

Following the order, the axe screamed and chopped at a Capricorn who was kneeling on the ground with a ghost head knife. The expected flesh and blood flew everywhere, the expected crying hero didn't appear either. Half a day later, the hatchet opened its eyes and found that its blade had actually landed on the ground in front of the captive, but due to overexertion, the knife had sunk three feet into the ground.

The axe looked at the captive with disdain. The man was about to go crazy. He raised his blade again. This time, he didn't close his eyes. Instead, he swung it at the man's waist.

The captive let out a strange cry, and when the axe looked around, it was to discover that the captive was still alive. The blade had only cut a wound about half a foot long on his chest.

There were still a lot of people like Fu Tou who had been specially called by Xie Fei to take revenge. There were at least 2000 people and they were all at a loss of what to do. A scene of execution unfolded in front of South Call City, which left everyone at a loss whether to laugh or to cry. Almost no more than a hundred people died in the first wave.

Then, the angry civilians started hacking, and this time, the prisoners were in a miserable state. They were almost cut down a dozen times without dying, and although they had no fear of death, it was a little sad to let these people practice using them as meat dunes.

Right now, for those captives of the Capricorn, death was an extravagant hope.

The shouts on the city wall were like those of a pig being butchered, and the terrifying cries sent chills down one's spine. Looking at the young soldiers kneeling on the ground with their heads buried deep in their chests, they felt ashamed. They could feel the fear of death emanating from their bodies. Shi Le felt extremely guilty, and felt that he had no face to see anyone.

He had killed the citizens first, so how could Xie Fei not kill the prisoners? You can kill them if you want, but how could you not give them a quick death?

Shi Le's fist force was very strong. Due to overexerting himself, his knuckles turned white, causing Shi Le Army's eyes to split, their teeth about to shatter.

The execution lasted for more than four hours. In the end, less than three thousand people were killed. On average, one and a half people were killed in the afternoon.

Shi Le didn't know how he managed to return to the manor, but he felt a deep sense of guilt. Shi Le was stunned like a statue. He sat there for a long time without uttering a word. Suddenly, Shi Le received another report from the guard, "Zhang Bin is in critical condition!"

Shi Le immediately ran out. A doctor was called.

Zhang Bin's condition had stabilized for the time being, but at dawn, he suddenly vomited blood.

Shi Le was incomparably miserable. They had lost two generals and even their trusted advisors had been taken care of.

Zhang Bin was his brain. This indescribable pain made him faint to the ground. However, Shi Le still remembered Zhang Bin's words after he woke up. He was prepared to leave the South Call, but when he prepared to implement this idea. There was a saying that when the rain fell, an unexpected person came to South Call.

Shi Le was still immersed in the sorrow of Zhang Bin's death, at this time, a person covered in blood, with his armor torn apart, knelt in front of Shi Le. Shi Le seemed to have aged ten years for a moment, and the previously high-spirited look was no longer there. That person cried without control of his voice, while holding onto Shi Le's large feet. My Lord, there's nothing to do. The Wan City was lost. "Nanyang County is finished!"

"What!" Shi Le was startled for a moment, and immediately came to his senses. Shi Le finally saw the person who came, this was his beloved general, Guo Ao. Aren't you in Wan City? Wan City is strong, with a huge wall like that, even if the Qin Army uses cannons to attack it, it will not be a short term achievement. Also, there are a lot of provisions in Wan City, even if we cannot defeat the enemy, but we should be able to guard there for a few months without any problems, what is going on? "
