Benevolence, How Extravagant!
Fu Su stepped onto the platform in an orderly manner."
"The old nobles of the Six Nations took advantage of the situation."
"Let the peasant army become the capital for them to become kings.”
"Now, even if I abdicate and stop fighting, I'm afraid they will still attack each other and cause endless chaos in China…"
He did not expect the rebel soldiers to be fooled and become his supporters.
As long as the meaning was conveyed, it would take root sooner or later.
At the end of his sentence, he suddenly changed the topic and said,
"The 200,000 Qin soldiers led by Zhang Han only have a few disciples in Guanzhong.”
"The rest are all slaves from the various counties in the world.”
"Now that Han has been defeated, they have been rescued by the various dukes.”
"But…last night, we received military intelligence that the vassals were short of food and could not afford to feed them. They were also afraid that after releasing them, they would return to the Qin country to beg for food and serve the Qin country, so they wanted to kill all the pitiful 200,000 slaves!”
Whoosh!
When the 100,000 rebel soldiers heard the word " pit kill ", they immediately screamed.
Their uprising was to overthrow the violent Qin Dynasty.
As a result, Great Qin's Fusu started to show kindness and virtue.
On the contrary, the dukes of the alliance army became more and more cruel.
"If this is a joke, then it's not funny at all.”
Fan Kuai mumbled, his face twitching.
Xiao He's expression was solemn as he shook his head and sighed."
"Now, all the vassals obey Xiang Yu, and that Xiang Yu is fierce and violent.”
"Wherever he led his army, there was always destruction.”
"Killing 200,000 surrendered soldiers, he definitely can do it!”
“……”
Fan Kuai was completely speechless.
At this moment, Fu Su continued,"
I can't let 200,000 pitiful people be killed, so I want to use you to exchange for prisoners of war with the dukes…"
The 100,000 rebel soldiers were in an uproar again.
If Fu Su had told them an hour ago, they could have gotten rid of the Qin army by exchanging prisoners.
Then, these 100,000 rebels would definitely return to their original positions happily.
After all, his family was still in the homeland of the Six Nations.
Although it was a good thing to leave now, they still couldn't help but feel a little speechless!
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Fu Su said to Meng Yi who was standing below the stage,"
"Meng Yi."
"When you return to Xianyang, pick more eloquent people.”
"After that, hurry to the battlefield of the Central Plains and discuss the exchange of prisoners with the dukes.”
"I accept your orders!"
Meng Yi bowed and left.
Fu Su turned to look at Meng Tian and took out half a Golden Tiger Tally."
"Meng Tian, I'll give you seven thousand cavalry, seventy ballistae, and ten thousand Imperial Army soldiers.”
"Immediately rush to Hangu Pass and take over the responsibility of guarding it. I will settle the matter of Xianyang and arrive soon.”
There were four gates in Guanzhong, namely Dasan Pass, Wu Pass, Xiao Pass, and Hangu Pass.
Wu Pass was located at the border between Qin and Chu. Liu Bang had entered Guanzhong through Wu Pass. Yesterday, Fusu had ordered the Qin army to be transferred to Xiao Pass to recover and defend it.
Dasan Pass guarded the Sichuan-Shaanxi main road and was now occupied by Liu Bang. However, after yesterday's defeat, Liu Bang had lost all his troops and fled into the land of Bashu. He did not dare to leave Sichuan for a short period of time, nor did he have the ability to leave Sichuan.
As for Xiao Pass, its main defense was the Xiongnu. The Xiongnu had long been swept away by Fusu, and the Maodun Chanyu had been captured alive and castrated. He was now serving as a suicide soldier under Fusu. The hundred-plus heavy cavalry that had defeated Fan Kuai's army yesterday were the Maodun and Xiongnu nobles.
Therefore, the most important thing now was Hangu Pass. Xiang Yu's 400,000 troops were currently advancing there!
"I accept your orders."
Meng Tian lifted her battle skirt and stepped onto the general worship platform. She took half of the Tiger Tally with both hands.
Fu Su nodded and got off the platform. He bowed to Meng Tian and bowed.
"The war is urgent, everything should be simple. The safety of Guanzhong will be entrusted to Great General.”
"I will do my best."
Meng Tian received the bow and returned it. Then, she took out half of the Tiger Tally and combined it into one. She raised it high and faced the Qin army's formation.
"Wan Sheng!"
The Qin army raised their sabers and spears, and then they shouted three times, resounding through the clouds.
"Wan Sheng!"
"Wan Sheng!"
"Wan Sheng!"
Half an hour later, Meng Tian led the army and set off. She distributed the spare warhorses of the 7,000 heavy cavalry to the 10,000 imperial guards. Under the scorching autumn sun, they used a four-wheeled carriage to transport the rations as they sped towards Hangu Pass.
After Fu Su sent Meng Tian off, he brought Wang Shang closer and asked,"
"Yesterday, did Minister Wang take a look at the details of my three edicts?”
"I saw it."
"Can you urge the officials of Xianyang to execute it?"
" I urged him yesterday, but…"
"But what? There's no harm in speaking frankly."
"Your Majesty has captured and exterminated 100,000 rebel soldiers. With this unparalleled martial arts as the foundation, there is nothing wrong with reducing taxes and exemption from service. But…"
Wang Shang gritted his teeth and said,
"But the idea of getting rid of the lowly is absurd.
Shang Jun's military merit granted title law said: In the battle, if you kill a soldier, you can be promoted to a higher rank, rewarded with a plot of land, a house and a servant.
In the past, when the six countries were destroyed, all the Qin soldiers who had meritorious service were given a lowly status as slaves. If Your Majesty removed the lowly status, the rewards that the sons had fought for would be taken back for no reason. I'm afraid that the people will be in chaos…"
His worries were not without reason. Conferring titles through military merits was the cornerstone of Qin's laws. In the past hundred years, it had attracted a large number of immigrants from the six countries. They yearned for wealth through military merits, which was why Qin Country had become strong and unified China.
Zhang Han was able to make 200,000 slaves work for Qin and defeat the vassals because of the superiority of this system.
In other words, be it the survivors of the Six Nations or the people of Guanzhong, they did not have much sense of national identity.
If Fusu dared to take back the reward, the people in Guanzhong would dare to rebel without the need for the vassals to attack!
"Wait!"
Fu Su interrupted Wang Shang and said,"
"The current low status of China will be exchanged with the slaves of the Hu and Qiang tribes. From now on, the slaves will not be rewarded for their military achievements, and they will be exempted from service and reduced taxes…This is the imperial edict to abolish the low status.”
"But where did the Hu Qiang slaves come from?" Wang Shang frowned.”
"Sir, look outside the camp."
Fu Su smiled and pointed at the gate.
Wang Shang looked over and saw that a crowd had appeared a few miles away from the camp.
Looking from afar, it was extremely huge, like a flood!
"This…"
Wang Shang was shocked. He hurriedly took out the Thousand Mile Mirror that Fu Su had given him yesterday and carefully observed the crowd.
Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, there were tens of thousands of black-armored Qin troops, their horses and horses were fully equipped, their flags were fluttering, they were exactly the same as the ten thousand heavy cavalry that Fu Su brought back yesterday.
However, these tens of thousands of Qin cavalry only made up a small portion of the crowd.
The rest of them were Hu men with high noses and deep eyes. One of their arms was chained with copper and iron chains. There were a hundred of them, regardless of gender. They were like walking corpses, driving flocks of cattle and horses.
There were probably hundreds of thousands of them!
"Wang Qing, these 300,000 Hu Qiang youths can be exchanged for the lowly people in Guanzhong. If it is not enough, when the world is settled, we can go out and capture them.”
Fu Su's question sounded indifferent yet cold.
"Benevolence, how extravagant!"
Wang Shang quivered and was momentarily speechless.
At this point, he finally understood that the three edicts issued by Fu Su all had their foundations and were not without purpose.
He had rashly objected without understanding the situation. It seemed a little rash!
"What's that?"
At this moment, the rebel captives in the camp also noticed the huge crowd and couldn't help but exclaim.
When they saw that it was the Qin army escorting hundreds of thousands of non-humankind slaves, they were even more shocked.
