Zhao Jun surrendered, and the 200,000 tiger and wolf divisions surrendered one by one after Zhao Kuo's death, and none of them resisted. Vertex Novel Updates Fastest
But the eyes seemed to be lost, without the slightest expression.
They should have died in battle
It's hard to believe that this is the horrible remnant army that used half of its people to fight against the Qin army for forty days.
Nearly 200,000 captives were bound with both hands and tied to a rope.
Like a series of connected ants, moving forward slowly.
"Sand, sand, sand."
The horse's hooves broke through the white snow and made a slight friction sound when they sank into it. The snow seemed to be getting smaller.
In the vast white snow, Gu Nan held his spear and stood in front of Zhao Kuo's corpse.
He was not in human form, but he was shot into a hedgehog. His whole body was blood red and his appearance was haggard. He couldn't see the appearance of the elegant young general when they first met.
"You knew it would be this result."
After a silence, he stuck his spear into the snow and dug again and again until he dug a hole big enough for a man and a horse.
Put Zhao Kuo and his horse inside.
Squat down, and use your hands to re-bury the soil mixed with snow bit by bit.
"Slap."
Gu Nan patted his palm to shake off the mud and snow.
The dry air made people uncomfortable, and the cold, knife-like wind scratched his cheeks.
On the flat field, there was a low mound, very inconspicuous.
Gu Nan looked at the mound of dirt for a while, then chuckled.
"You are right. If this battle is not fought, we may be friends."
As he spoke, Gu Nan untied the water bag around his waist and took a sip.
Gu Nan's throat was sore from the freezing cold water entering his throat.
Pour the rest of the water in front of the mound.
He took out a piece of dry biscuit from his arms and put it there.
"I haven't finished eating in the morning. I'm on the road. Eat more."
"If you don't have that time, I won't make a monument for you."
With that said, Gu Nan stood up, walked to Brother Hei and got on his horse.
Pulling the rein, he left slowly without looking back.
"And it's a good journey."
Piles of weapons were tangled together and placed on the ground, and soldiers of the Qin army cleaned the battlefield.
The bonfire was rising in the camp, and tonight's dinner will be more sumptuous than before. After more than a month of entanglement, Zhao Jun finally surrendered, and Zhao Kuo, the general of Zhao Jun, was shot and killed by Bai Qi directly in front of the battle.
Qin Jun can be regarded as a victory.
Zhao Jun's captives were stripped of their battle armor, and were tied together by hemp ropes and escorted. Wearing only a thin cloth, many people were freezing in the cold wind, and their lips and faces were blue.
Bai Qi and Wang sat together in the tent, the flames in the brazier were warm.
"Old Bai, don't you want to go out for a walk?" Wang placed the written military slips by his side and stretched his muscles: "The fight is finally over."
Bai Qi waved his hand: "I'm old, I can't walk anymore."
Wang raised his eyebrows, "Yeah, how many years have you been in the army? You haven't felt it yet, so you're getting old."
"Old Wang, has Jun Jian come out?" Bai Qi suddenly remembered and asked.
"Come out." Wang raised his chin and pointed to the bamboo slips on the side: "More than 200,000 people were lost, and there were no more than 180,000 Zhao soldiers captured. Disarm, armor, horses, and still sit and count. That's a quantity."
"More than two hundred thousand." Bai Qi nodded and stroked his beard.
"Then Zhao Kuo is really ruthless enough, but unfortunately, not ruthless enough."
If he were to fight, he would not let a single person surrender in this battle.
"There are still 400,000 Qin troops left, but with only 400,000, it is difficult to go north."
Wang picked up the military letter and put it down slowly, feeling helpless: "So, with enemies on all sides, if you continue to go north, you may be defeated."
Bai Qi shook his head and corrected: "It must be defeated."
Wang was stunned for a moment, then sighed, he knew the ability of his old friend, he said he would lose, but he couldn't win.
But it is absolutely impossible for Qin State to give up this opportunity to go north. If Handan is captured, Zhao State will be finished.
"I just hope that King Qin can see clearly."
"Don't talk about this." Wang laughed, with a bit of nostalgia and a bit of bitterness in his laughter.
"Old Bai, I still remember when you and I were young and energetic, you said that you wanted peace in this world. Now it seems that it is far away."
Bai Qi didn't reply for a long time, and after a while, he finally answered: "This is the wish of this old man in his life, and I will risk the world's taboo, so I will go."
"You are still like this. Everyone in the world says you are ruthless, but they don't know that you are the softest one in their hearts." Wang shook his head.
After hesitating for a while, he asked, "Zhao Jun, what are you going to do with the 180,000 people?"
180,000 people
This time the Zhao army sent more than 400,000 troops, Zhao Guo was originally a small number of people, and these 400,000 troops were already the most young and strong men in Zhao Guo.
Bai Qi's hand stroking his beard stopped there, and he opened his mouth.
"Divide and kill."
Wang opened his mouth in shock, with an incomprehensible look in his eyes.
His expression sank.
"Old Bai, fraudulent surrender is already a big deal in the world. If you are murdered, you may be accused by thousands of people and cast aside by thousands of people. You really think about it."
In the ancient times when propriety, justice, shame, loyalty, filial piety were valued, feigning surrender was already a violation of benevolence and justice, and would be punished verbally and in writing. If it is a murder, the world will discuss it together, and I am afraid it will be light. It is simply a matter of disregard for human relations.
"I just want to show it to the world"
"For many years in the Warring States period, how many people died in the world, and who will condemn them?" Bai Qi did not have the casual look just now, with a cold look in his eyes.
"The world should be peaceful, and the Daqin will be the prosperous world after the unification." Bai Qi closed his eyes: "To die for the peace of the world, these 180,000 people deserve to die."
He has been fighting for the Great Qin Quartet all his life, and he has not lost a single defeat in more than 70 battles in his life.
Seeing that Great Qin is growing stronger and stronger, it may take only a hundred years to unify the six countries.
But he is already very old, and it is difficult to earn a military horse.
Murdering 180,000 captives, he was notorious all over the world, but Zhao Guo, even if he survived, and all men were gone, it would be difficult to recover within twenty years.
And twenty years later, the state of Zhao could no longer be a threat, even if the Northern Expedition could not destroy Zhao, Zhao would also be destroyed.
He probably knew the result of killing the captives himself.
But this may be his last battle.
It was also his last battle for the world.
Seeing the destruction of this troubled world, so what if he recited all the murders and infamy in this world in vain
