Chapter 583: Walk on your knees, don't dare to look up
"You're Ji Bu?"
The Qin army camp, which had previously belonged to Zhang Han's tent. Wang Xiao looked at the strong man holding Zhang Han's flag and asked gently.
"yes."
Ji Bu lowered his head, responding with a very small voice. It can be seen that he was very nervous.
This is not an ordinary person, his very famous ranger. The famous daughter Yinuo refers to him.
Ji Bu, who was so brave in the past, drew his sword toward him whenever he had a disagreement. At this time, he was honest like a quail in front of Wang Xiao.
Not being honest can't do it.
Wang Xiao defeated the main force of the Qin army in one battle, and the general trend of unifying the world was already unstoppable.
In addition, during the previous battles, Wang Xiao's bravery, which was like a god of war, had already made everyone who saw it with his own eyes think of worshiping.
"Where did you hold in the army before?"
Wang Xiao did not deliberately look for those who left their names in history books. Except for Zhang Liang and others, everyone else would come naturally.
But what I didn't expect was that Ji Bu had always been in his army.
"Reply to King Xiang's words, he is the five hundred lords in the army."
If the five hundred masters are not enough to be a middle-level official, they are at most the top team among low-level officers.
"You've done it well." Wang Xiao stood up and walked over, and took the handsome flag belonging to Zhang Han from Ji Bu's hand.
Rubbing the handsome flag in his hand, he looked at the broken place on the flag. Wang Xiao turned around and returned to the stool to sit down, "I had a word before the war started. Whoever could seize Zhang Han's handsome flag would be named Guanneihou."
Putting the commander's flag aside, Wang Xiao reached out and pointed Ji Bu, "I keep my word, you are the minister now."
Ji Bu was overjoyed and bowed heavily, "Thank you, King Xiang."
Looking at the many generals who looked unhappy, Wang Xiao smiled and said, "One or two, what are these expressions? Don't be anxious. When you enter Guanzhong and arrive in Xianyang City, your title will be indispensable."
Hearing Wang Xiao’s promise, the generals were immediately happy.
Everyone followed King Xiang to fight to death, just for these benefits.
The reason why Xiang Yu lost in the battle for hegemony in history was not that he was unable to fight. In fact, Xiang Yu won almost all the battles.
The most important reason is that Xiang Yu was determined to learn from the First Emperor to centralize power, so he was very stingy in rewards.
This idea is correct, but the problem is that there are strong opponents around you who are eyeing you.
Liu Bang was just the opposite. He was always extremely generous in rewards. That was because most of the rewards were actually not in his hands.
After the world was stable and Xiang Yu was killed, Liu Bang fought again and defeated all the kings of the different surnames who were granted.
The two people's choices at the time point are different, which leads to different final results.
In addition, there is another point that Xiang Yu valued Confucianism and believed that this was a good knowledge of governing the country.
According to later generations, Confucianism is indeed suitable for monarchs to use.
But when fighting, Confucianism has only the ability to pull back, except to shake flags and shout.
As for Liu Bang, the Legal family, Huang Lao, the farmer family and even the Mo family, as long as they are willing to do it with him, they will use it.
Therefore, Xiang Yu, who had never lost in a war, fought until he was betrayed by his relatives and relatives, and in the end the whole army collapsed and he was harvesting himself on the edge of the Wujiang River.
Wang Xiao, who has read history books, naturally would not make such a mistake.
In addition to suppressing Confucianism, all other schools of thought accepted it. They are also not stingy in rewards. Giving a marquis to give a fief is always satisfactory.
As for what to do in the future, just learn from the Liu family.
After three or two generations, the descendants who were raised as waste made too many mistakes, so they would be eliminated at that time.
After arranging these, Wang Xiao waved his hand domineeringly, "Let all those guys come in."
The so-called guys were naturally the princes who refused to come before, and after seeing Wang Xiao's unparalleled courage, they ran over to ask for their meeting.
The main reason why the contrast between the front and back is that they were all frightened by Wang Xiao's powerful martial arts.
The Kanto countries joined forces to fight against Qin because Qin was too powerful. They were not in love with each other, but they were not ruthless in fighting each other.
Now the last 500,000 main force of the Qin Dynasty is defeated, and it is already dead. As for Zhao Tuo from Lingnan, he is still on the way, and it is estimated that it will take almost eighty or ninety years to get there.
Wang Xiao was so powerful that all the countries in Kanto were scared. He was afraid that Wang Xiao would slap them all into the mud with a backhand.
When the princes and ministers and generals came outside the camp, the soldiers around them all looked cold and their malicious eyes were occasionally glanced past their necks.
This solemn atmosphere made the princes and kings unable to walk steadily.
When the camp gate opened, King Zhao, as the landlord, gritted his teeth and wanted to take the lead in the camp.
But as soon as he stepped into the camp gate, he heard a series of "clang" sounds of sword drawing, as if it was exploded in his ears.
Looking at the sword formation that looked like a forest in front of me, the blood stains on it had not been wiped clean yet.
With so many sharp swords pointed at him, King Zhao was both brave and his legs fell to the ground.
The current environment is that these people are deeply involved in Wang Xiao’s camp, and there are not even many guards around him.
If this angered Wang Xiao and was cut into flesh paste by these dense sword formations, there would be no place to cry.
No matter what they thought in their hearts, the princes were imitating Zhao Wangxie's appearance, and trembled to accept the earth, and lowered their heads and climbed into the camp.
Perhaps someone has already shed tears of sadness at this time.
Perhaps some people have already made up their minds that today's humiliation will be returned a hundred times later.
However, in fact, no matter how they think in their hearts, things are no longer able to change.
The princes lowered their heads and crawled all the way to Wang Xiao's tent.
Seeing that the noble princes and kings all had such virtues, the generals under Wang Xiao all showed disdain.
Wang Xiao did not go out to greet him, but sat upright on the tent.
"Everyone, we will raise the banner of righteousness to resist the violent Qin Dynasty. Now the great cause is about to be accomplished, and we are just one last step away from attacking Guanzhong and breaking into Xianyang City."
Wang Xiao's voice was loud, penetrated the ears of the princes and kings who fell outside and knelt on the ground.
Just after a big battle, Wang Xiao's murderous aura was completely irrepressible. Just speaking calmly made the princes feel as if they were standing next to the abyss. "Now we will join forces to defeat Qin again, join forces to enter Guanzhong, and I will be the head coach."
Through the opened door curtain, Wang Xiao looked at the princes lying on the ground outside like lightning. "I'm done, who agrees and who opposes?"
No one spoke outside, only the wind blew and the sound of the armor leaves on the swaying and colliding with the soldiers.
Wang Xiao narrowed his eyes and said, "Hmm?"
It was still King Zhao Xie, the first person to raise his hands and bow down to the ground again, "Hey."
With someone taking the lead, others saluted again, "Hey."
Wang Xiao stood up and said, "Give you three days to adjust and rest. Three days later, the entire army headed to Guanzhong."
In three days, Wang Xiao did a lot of things.
Recruiting surrendered troops and appease the morale of the army.
Rewards are given wine, meat, money, goods, silk, cloth, and merits.
He directly sent troops to seize all the official lands of Zhao State from Handan to Julu, and even directly collected taxes from local people in the name of tax collection.
Regarding these things, Zhao State shut up and said nothing, and each of them seemed deaf and blind.
Before, because of Wang Xiao's humiliation, the princes who shared the same hatred for the enemy, all laughed happily after learning the news.
Zhao State was unlucky, and they were all very happy.
This kind of thing has been going on for hundreds of years and has never changed.
If the Kanto countries can really work together, what else can Qin be?
In addition, Wang Xiao also sent an envoy to deliver letters to Zhang Han who had gathered the remaining troops and retreated near Handan.
The content on the letter is very simple, with only one meaning. Is it just to ask Zhang Han, if you bring so many old Qin people out, do you still want to send those who are still alive to home?
The rural concept of this era is very strong. No matter how long it takes to go home, I want to go home. Even if I die, I want to be buried in my hometown.
When Zhang Han came out, he took away tens of thousands of elite Qin soldiers stationed in Guanzhong. Among the prisoners and corvee labor recruited, a large part of them were from Guanzhong.
Now he was left with only tens of thousands of soldiers, with low morale and no food and salary supplies. Even the road back to Guandong was cut off by Han Xin.
For Zhang Han, perhaps he was not afraid of death. But with so many Guanzhong children coming out, the miserable scene made him not know what to do.
Faced with Wang Xiao's persuasion, he was a little at a loss and simply wrote back to ask Wang Xiao what to do.
After that, Wang Xiao sent a reply again and asked him to come over to meet and drink and talk in detail.
Zhang Han did not refuse, perhaps because he gave up on himself, or perhaps because he really couldn't resist anymore. He really came to Wang Xiao's military camp alone.
This was his camp before.
"Zhang Shao Mansion." Wang Xiao signaled Zhang Han to sit down before he left, "Before talking about the matter, have a drink."
One cup after another, three cups and three cups after drinking.
After almost half a jar of wine and drinking, Wang Xiao began to talk about the main business.
"This is how I arranged it, you can listen to it yourself. The Qin Dynasty is over, so I don't need to say more about this. I will let them choose the surrendered soldiers in previous battles. Those who are willing to continue to join the army can stay and accept reorganization. Those who are unwilling to be in the army will distribute grain and cloth to go home to farm. Most of those who are in Guandong are willing to stay in the army. Most of those who are in Guanzhong want to go home."
Wang Xiao sighed, "Although there are many casualties, most of them survive. You brought them out, you have to send them home. You must have a beginning and an end in life."
Zhang Han raised his head and closed his eyes, feeling extremely heartbroken.
When I brought hundreds of thousands of troops out of seclusion, I was full of confidence and believed that I could surpass the many ancestors of the Qin State and achieve supreme military achievements.
But reality is so cruel. Until now, one out of seclusion is still around him.
Working hard to adjust your emotions, Zhang Han stood up and saluted Wang Xiao, "I am willing to serve King Xiang."
Wang Xiao smiled with satisfaction, picked up the wine bowl and walked over, "I have done this bowl of wine together, and I will be my own people in the future."
