Chapter 546: Scheming
"I'm not that stupid." Qin Hu said honestly, "To be honest, I have a plan to make Xue Renguo's crimes known to the public. In this case, all Xue Renguo's soldiers will be on the run within three days.
, it was easy for me to catch him.”
"Yes. As long as we can avenge the late emperor." Hao Yuan's expression was cold.
"Okay, then please sir, write down the confession by hand, and then go to his camp and tell the whole story." Qin Hu immediately ordered for paper and pen.
After Hao Yuan finished writing, she said to Qin Hu: "I will go outside his camp now to announce Xue Renguo's crimes to the public. Please stay put for now."
Hao Yuan has always been the leader of one person in the Western Qin Dynasty, and he is very upright and has a good reputation. He is respected and loved by the soldiers.
When he announced Xue Renguo's crime outside the camp, and then shot the handwritten confession into the city with a bow and arrow, the soldiers were in an uproar when they saw it.
Xue Renguo didn't know about this situation at first. It was already dark when he found out, because several hours had passed and all the soldiers knew about it.
"What can we do? Hao Yuan actually rebelled." The act of patricide had already caused an irreparable flaw in Xue Renguo's heart. If the matter had not been revealed, he could have buried it deeply in his heart, but now Hao Yuan said
Chuzhu, people outside the door were panicked and public opinion was in an uproar. How could he not collapse?
"It turns out that Hao Yuan met my father that day. If I had known, I would have killed him long ago. What should I do? What should I do?" Xue Renguo ran away in the tent as if he was crazy, while Yao Hui had already already
It's a big mess, and I don't know how to deal with it.
Xue Renguo suddenly said to Yao Hui: "Go and tell the soldiers that all this is false and a trick of Qin Hu. Hao Yuan shamelessly betrayed me and framed me so that they cannot believe it. I ordered that if anyone dares to spread rumors,
, Kill without mercy, yes, kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, you must kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, go quickly."
"Yes, yes, yes." Yao Hui accepted the order and left, but he knew in his heart that Hao Yuan's influence was huge, and a large part of the soldiers would choose to believe him. Killing someone at this time would be counterproductive, and the more he killed, the more he would appear.
Guilty.
But when the emperor made a decree, he had to carry it out.
As soon as I arrived at the camp, I heard many soldiers whispering among themselves. When I walked over casually, I heard them talking about patricide.
"Come on, get it for me."
Yao Hui gave the order, and someone immediately pushed several soldiers to the ground. The soldiers looked panicked, turned pale, and shouted that they were wronged.
"General, why do you want to capture us?"
Yao Hui gritted his teeth, pointed at their noses and cursed: "You bastards actually dare to spread rumors and talk about the emperor behind his back. It is an unforgivable crime."
The soldiers said: "General, the shouting was from people outside. We just heard it. General, please take a closer look." Yao Hui took the opportunity to announce to the soldiers: "Soldiers, this is obviously a alienation plan by the enemy. They are fighting.
But our emperor resorted to such despicable slanderous tactics."
"As we all know, the current emperor was the crown prince before he ascended the throne. He will inherit the throne sooner or later. He also had a deep relationship with the late emperor and his son and was extremely filial. How could he plot to kill the late emperor?"
"Hao Yuan lost his master and humiliated his country, and was captured by mistake. Instead of repaying his death with death, he turned against him. What is even more shameless is that he ignored the kindness of the late emperor and actually created such a rumor. He is truly a man without a father and a king. Anyone who believes this
Anyone who spreads rumors is just as treacherous as Hao Yuan. The crime of deceiving the emperor must not go unpunished. Come and kill all these people."
Yao Hui's words were awe-inspiring, but he still killed those soldiers in the end. After the sword fell from his hand, blood was all over the ground, and the heads were rolling around, the faces of the soldiers changed drastically.
In fact, Yao Hui also knew in his heart that if these people were released with just a verbal warning, everyone would doubt Hao Yuan in their hearts.
But he also knew Xue Renguo's temper. If he didn't kill a few people, he would definitely doubt his loyalty.
That night, the soldiers began to flee on a large scale. When the number was counted early the next morning, more than 20,000 people had fled.
"The number of people killed is still small, which is not enough to shock people. How did you do it?" Xue Renguo was furious and almost chopped Yao Hui to death.
"Go and tell everyone to hold the camp tightly. Not a single fly can fly out. If anyone escapes, they will be killed directly. And when I return, I will kill all their parents, wives and children."
"This——" Yao Hui's face turned pale.
If the regime was stable, this threat would definitely be effective, but at this time, people are hoping that Xue Renguo will die soon.
During the day, Yao Hui personally inspected the camp and found that there were still soldiers escaping, but not many. However, none of these escaped soldiers were captured, and no one saw or discovered them.
People's hearts are broken! Yao Hui thought to himself.
Sure enough, more than 30,000 people fled that night. Some generals took their troops and fled openly, even taking away their horses and food.
After dawn, looking at the almost empty camp, Xue Renguo knew that he was finished. At this time, when he went to look for Yao Hui, he was nowhere to be seen.
He said to his soldiers: "Go and count and see how many men and horses there are."
After more than an hour, the soldiers came back and reported: "Your Majesty, there are still more than 8,000 people."
More than 8,000 people are enough to fight and even turn defeat into victory, but there is a prerequisite, that is, morale is still there. In this situation, it is impossible.
"While Qin Hu hasn't come yet, send an order to set up camp and build a stronghold. We will go north to join the Liang division. We must be quick and get ahead of Qin Hu."
Because he was worried that Qin Hu would attack, Xue Renguo did not even ask for tents or baggage. He only asked the soldiers to bring ten days of rations each, and then the whole army left the camp.
The army marched north for a day and night. When they felt that Qin Hu had not caught up, Xue Renguo felt relieved and ordered the whole army to rest. They raided a village and temporarily lived in it.
After counting, the number of people was still less than three or four thousand.
That night, Xue Renguo stood under the stars and gave a speech.
"It's very cold along the way to Shuofang, and we lack food and clothing. But as long as we get there, we will be replenished and we will have no problem fighting back. As the saying goes, victory or defeat is a common thing for military strategists. I can guarantee that you loyal ones will
Those who follow me will at least be marquises in the future."
And at this moment, a flood of killing cries suddenly sounded from all directions.
