"General, the bandits have surrendered. Why do you still want to kill them all?" Perhaps this world had nothing to do with Jing Wei, but seeing more than ten thousand living people being killed for no reason really made him feel a little sorry.
Qin Jie secretly laughed in his heart, thinking that ignorant scholars wouldn't know anything. However, he still replied with a respectful tone,""Don't be soft-hearted when marching and fighting. If we allow him to surrender now, the people of the world will think that he can be a thief if he has an advantage and beg for surrender if he has no advantage. Moreover, our army now has no more than 10,000 men. When we counterattack with more than 10,000 prisoners, these more than 10,000 rebels will make a countercharge when they are captured. Our army is in danger!"
Jing Wei had not expected that an unknown county governor would have such an opinion. However, these 10,000 people who were originally farmers were about to die. He was still sobbing. This was the law and sorrow of chaotic times!
Even if Jing Wei could argue, but because of his identity, and if Qin Jie's words came true, what should he do? Therefore, Jing Wei could only choose to remain silent and leave silently to avoid seeing this scene. For a moment, she forgot that her brother was still with Pang De. When Jing Wei came back to find Jing Zhi, Jing Zhi had already seen this scene and sobbed,"I definitely won't be a weakling! I want to be powerful!" Jing Wei comforted his younger brother, but he could feel the deep uneasiness in his words.
Most of the Yellow Turban captives were forced down the cliff to prevent the plague from breeding. Only a small number of them who went to Europe to resist were killed by the government troops and thrown off the cliff. Then, Qin Jie continued to lead the army forward as if nothing had happened. As for Wan City, after hearing that Zhang Mancheng had been killed and that 20,000 men had been slaughtered, they were clearly far more numerous than the other party and were protected by high walls. However, they were afraid and had the thought of surrendering. However, after thinking about it, since Qin Jie had slaughtered all of Zhang Mancheng's men, how could he let them off? Therefore, they all planned to fight to the death. Qin Jie's actions strengthened the Yellow Turban Army's belief in resistance.
Due to Zhang Mancheng's death, Zhao Hong temporarily commanded the hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers. With Zhang Mancheng's lesson, Zhao Hong did not act rashly. Instead, he chose to hold on and fight with the government troops! Five times the attack, ten times the siege. The problem is that the enemy has ten times the number of our troops. Even if they could win by force, they would suffer heavy losses. They could only use their wits.
Jing Wei had always been wearing a military cap to cover his hair, so Qin Jie didn't notice it earlier. Qin Jie rubbed his temples and said impatiently,""Go ahead." Jing Wei was naturally dissatisfied with his attitude, but he could not say anything more and could only bite the bullet and finish his plan. "General, you can go and pick up some Yellow Turban coarse cloth and tattered clothes and send them to Provincial Governor Xu to pretend to be Yellow Turban reinforcements to lure the bandits out of the city and then take advantage of the situation to surround them.”After Jing Wei finished speaking, he retreated to the side and waited for him to make his decision. Qin Jie thought about it and felt that this plan was feasible, but he didn't reply to Jing Wei's words and gave the military order as if everything had nothing to do with Jing Wei.
Although Pang De was a calm person, he was still holding back his anger. He wanted to flare up a few times but was stopped by Jing Wei. Qin Jie had more or less noticed these movements. He was afraid of Pang De's bravery, so he praised him with a fake smile. However, he had a grudge against Jing Wei and the others.
A few days later, Xu Wei's troops came wearing yellow turbans according to plan. The two sides made an agreement and acted out a scene of an attack on the rear of the government army. Zhao Hong, who was in the city, laughed when he saw this." This must be General Heaven Duke's heavenly army coming to save us. Men!" Follow me out of the city and pincer the entire rebel army from both sides!”
If it had been before, the Yellow Turban soldiers might have surrendered, but when they heard about the killing of the prisoners, they had no choice but to rise up and resist. Of course, the so-called resistance was just running away. There were still hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers, but only 40,000 of them came out to fight, while the Qin Jie and Xu Wei coalition forces only had 20,000 people. Therefore, a large number of Yellow Turban thieves took advantage of the chaos to hide in the mountains and forests. In the end, only about eight thousand Yellow Turban soldiers surrendered. This made Jing Wei frown.
This time, the Yellow Turban captives might have been because of the presence of the Provincial Governor Xu Wei, or for other reasons. In short, Qin Jie did not kill them again.
"Governor Qin, you've worked hard. It could be said that he had made outstanding contributions in defeating the enemy. Also, this plan of luring the snake out of its hole was subtle. In the future, his official career would definitely soar!”Xu You smiled and praised," No, no, it's just a small skill. It's nothing."”Qin Jie shamelessly agreed, causing Pang De to be furious, but he was still stopped by Jing Wei. "Right! That's right! And this warrior, your performance can be said to be the most brave of the three armies. I wonder what your current official position is?”Because Pang De was wearing the military uniform of the past, Xu Wei believed that he had an official position and even thought of poaching him. "I'm just a sinner, so I'll atone for my sins. On the other hand, Liu Han, the disciple of the great scholar Zheng Xuan, who was the descendant of Liu Sheng, the King of Zhongshan, should be credited for luring the snake out of its hole!”Pang De raised his voice again, pointing at Jing Wei who intended to kill Qin Jie. This made Qin Jie's face turn ashen. He didn't expect that a mere official would dare to be snubbed. " Oh, this is…" Before Xu Wei could finish, Qin Jie interrupted,""This little master is just a commoner. Provincial Governor Xu, please come to the city to wash away the dust." Hearing that this person was actually a monk, Xu Wei couldn't help but look at Jing Wei's temples. Seeing that he really had no hair, he didn't care much about Pang De's previous words of going to the city with Qin Jie.
"I'm so angry! Who was this Qin Jie? Courage without courage, strategy without strategy! Why does he have to take all the credit that we've made!”The more Pang De thought about it, the angrier he became. He kept throwing a tantrum in the camp. "Ling Ming, speak softly to avoid getting into trouble.”Jing Wei hurriedly stepped forward to stop him. "The two prefects of Qin are holding a banquet in the manor to entertain the meritorious officials.”Suddenly, someone reported from outside the tent. Pang De was a little rash but he was not stupid. He immediately understood Qin Jie's intention. He whispered to Jing Wei,"Lord, I think this Qin Jie wants to use the banquet to harm us!" What should I do?" Jing Wei could naturally guess that this had nothing to do with his identity as a transmigrator. As long as he wasn't stupid, he could tell. At this time, Jing Wei was thinking how good it would be to have a think tank. He really didn't know what Qin Jie could do. As long as he could find an excuse not to go, it would be fine. Xu Tian was still here, so he couldn't kill him for no reason, right?
"Report, Qin Jie is expelling the Yellow Turban captives. He seems to want to force them to jump off the cliff.”The scouts of the 300 commandery soldiers who followed Jing Wei here reported. Jing Wei instantly understood Qin Jie's intentions. He was trying to make use of my sympathy! 1. If I go to save him, he will kill me on the spot for the crime of colluding with the enemy. 2. If he went to find him for help, he had no choice but to go to his residence and kill him. Jing Wei explained the situation to Pang De. Pang De couldn't help but raise his saber in anger and was about to go to the Prefectural Governor's Mansion. "Ling Ming, if you go to the Prefectural Governor's Mansion, who will save those thousands of lives?" Jing Wei asked.”Pang De thought for a moment and said,""Then what should we do? I can't let you take the risk, right?" In fact, there were still some things that Jing Wei had not figured out. How could this Qin Jie have such a smart plan? Also, why did he send an invitation letter? Could it be that this world was so real? There were always many people in this world who were unknown, but they did not have the ability, but they did not have the opportunity to express themselves. Was Qin Jie such a person? However, he did not have such a feeling when dealing with him previously. Then why?
"Third, the invitation letter was sent to let Governor Xu know that you invited Liu Han. Even if he was not as kind as the prefect said and chose to escape. Prefect, you can also secretly release hundreds of moth thieves, falsely accuse them of being spies of the moth thieves who want to infiltrate our army. I'm afraid that the matter has been leaked and dare not go to the meeting. I hurriedly saved hundreds of enemy prisoners and wanted to escape. At that time, General can lead the army to kill him!" Xu You twirled his beard and said slyly. Qin Jie clapped his hands and laughed, wanting to be the military advisor.
However, Xu You clearly did not like him. Xu You's goal was nothing more than to use him as a chess piece to provide more protection for the next deposed emperor. He politely declined.
In this chaotic world, it was almost impossible to protect everything. It was time to stop being kind.
