Chapter 1209: Bai Qi commits suicide

 Bai Qi and Long Qie quickly finalized the cooperation plan. After all, both parties negotiated with sincerity, and one wanted to help the other and was willing to accept it, so the process naturally went very quickly.

During the negotiation process, Bai Qi deliberately did not mention the matter of returning to Huguan, and he was really embarrassed to ask Long Qie to return to Huguan.

Not only did Long Qie voluntarily give up on Shangdang, but he also kept the captured military rations, and even personally led the army to help the Qin army fight against the enemy, which made Bai Qi unable to speak no matter what.

Seeing that Bai Qi did not mention the Hu Pass issue, Long Qie was relieved. After all, the Qin army was indeed much stronger than the Ming army now. The Qin army could get out of Bingzhou if they obtained the Hu pass. He was also afraid that the Ming army would eventually be defeated by the Qin army. Therefore, even if Emperor Ming asked him to return Huguan to the Qin army, Long Qie still secretly detained Huguan.

The final plan drawn up by the two sides was that Long Qie would personally lead 10,000 cavalry and follow Bai Qi's army to Hetao to fight against Yuan Meng. Long Qie's 10,000 cavalry would include everything from weapons and equipment to rations, arrows, etc. All must be supplied by Bai Qi.

 Once Long Qie steps into the land of Bingzhou alone, it means that he and his army's life and death are all put into the hands of others, and others can do whatever they want to do with you.

Long Qie's biggest worry in leading the army to merge was that he was afraid that the Qin army would turn against him and refuse to admit his defeat. However, from the moment he decided to enter Bingzhou, he was destined to be unable to control life and death. So Long Qie could not be more calm and take the initiative to put his lifeline to death. Leave it to Bai Qi, so that you can gain enough trust from Bai Qi.

To be honest, Bai Qi really didn't expect that Long Qie would be so easy to talk to. If Bai Qi were in Long Qie's position, he would not be able to entrust his life and death to others even if he died. Therefore, Long Qie's frankness is naturally sincerity. Gained Bai Qi's respect.

Since then, there has been no trouble between the Qin and Ming armies. The Qin army, down to the generals and soldiers, have treated the Ming army as good brothers who help in times of need. This is how the two armies started their first friendly cooperation.

On the second day after the negotiation, Long Qie ordered his younger brother Long Yang and military advisor Guo Jia to lead 40,000 troops to guard Huguan, while he himself led 10,000 light cavalry to join Bai Qi's main army.

 When Long Qie's cavalry arrived at the Qin army's camp, the four southern counties were basically occupied by the Qin army.

With the entire Bingnan coalition army annihilated, there was no resistance at all to the former army in capturing these cities. Basically, the army simply opened the city and surrendered as soon as it reached a certain location. There was little resistance to the Qin army's entry into the city.

The only ones who resisted the Qin army's occupation and moved south were probably the aristocratic families who had aided Yuan and Meng, and the eight traitorous Shanxi merchant families.

As mentioned above, six of the eight Shanxi merchants were in Bingnan, and more than 70% of them were selling supplies to the Yuan and Meng families.

These aristocratic families knew that if the Qin army occupied Bingnan, their only fate would be extermination, so they had been supporting the Bingnan princes against the Qin and Jin armies, and they funded a large part of the arms and rations of the Bingnan coalition army.

After being naturalized and the Confederate Army was destroyed, these aristocratic families were afraid that the Qin army would settle accounts in the future, so they led their soldiers to occupy the city to prevent the Qin army from entering the city.

This kind of situation happened more than once in the four counties of Bingnan, and in Bai Qi's view, this was nothing more than a mantis mantis trying to trick the enemy.

 Aristocratic families and vassal states are not rivals of the same magnitude at all.

To deal with these aristocratic families, Bai Qi didn't even bother to use the main army. He only dispatched a partial army of tens of thousands of people, which was enough to wipe out all these aristocratic families.

"The Cao family in Dingyang County, Shangjun, the Qu family in Sanfeng County, Shuofang, the Kang family in Meijicheng, Xihe, the Fan family in Gaodu County, Shangdang, and the Kong family in Yanga County... Haha, these monsters finally appeared, but now I think about it It’s too late to resist.”

Bai Qi's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he said coldly: "Su Dingfang, Xue Rengui, you two will attack them one by one on behalf of the governor. Don't spare any of these rebellious families. All three families will be punished as treason."

After hearing this, all the generals shuddered. The governor would not easily become murderous. Once he did, blood would flow like a river.     "This... promise."

As the parties involved, Su Lie and Xue Lize were a little hesitant. After Su Dingfang hesitated for a while, he stood up and advised: "Grand Governor, the implications are very big at this time, so you should report it to the lord and deal with it later. If you, Grand Governor, handle it without permission, , may be criticized by the aristocratic families in the court."

Su Dingfang is sincerely thinking about Bai Qi. After all, the family has a lot of energy with the Qin army around.

Even if these aristocratic families are found guilty of treason, after all, there are so many lives there, and Bai Qi will kill so many aristocratic families without reporting the three clans. Officials from other aristocratic families will definitely regard Bai Qi as a thorn in their flesh. From now on. He provoked Bai Qi in all aspects and continued to impeach him until Bai Qi died.

Bai Qi knew that Su Lie was doing it for his own good, and he naturally knew this, but he still insisted on doing it. Bai Qi didn't care about the criticism from the family, but he cared more about his lord's attitude towards him.

Bai Qi's position among the Qin army was absolutely inferior to that of one person. Now that he has made such a great contribution in the second battle of Changping, he has reached the threshold of being able to shake the master with great achievements.

Before leaving Sizhou, Jia Xu visited Bai Qi and said something ambiguous to him: Since ancient times, those who have made great achievements and have high moral character are destined to have a bad end.

Jia Xu is the uncle of his lord, and Bai Qi had to pay attention to his words.

Now recalling Jia Xu's words, Bai Qi couldn't help but feel a little panic in his heart. He also realized that his great achievements shocked the master.

As a minister in power, if you want to avoid the fear of the lord and protect yourself for a long time, you must leave the handle in the hands of the lord, or the character must be serious so that it will not pose a threat to the king.

But now Bai Qi has controlled such a great power, but he has no control in the hands of the lord, and there is no big stain on his moral character. This is something that no superior can tolerate.

After realizing this, although Bai Qi still believed in his lord, he did not want to leave a grudge in his lord's heart, so he decided to imitate the military strategist Wu Qi and take the initiative to commit suicide to show his loyalty.

 There are many ways to defile oneself, but the ultimate goal is to leave a stain on oneself.

Wu Qi killed his wife who was born in Qi to prove to Lu Gong that he was not biased towards Qi.

Bai Qi would certainly not do such a thing as killing his wife. First of all, his wife A Qing was also a direct descendant of the Qin family. Secondly, he could not defeat A Qing with his strength.

The way Bai Qi prepares himself for self-destruction is through massacre, forging his own reputation through constant killing, thus virtually eliminating his threat to his lord. After all, no one will be loyal to a butcher.

 Bai Qi's first target was these treasonous families in the south.
