Chapter 847 One Hundred Thousand Prisoners

The prime minister must first surrender.

When King Huan heard this, he couldn't help but frown and looked at him with a faint look.

After a moment, he said lukewarmly: "Since the Prime Minister wants to retreat, then leave and be able to cultivate himself."

"Thank you, King." Qiu Rongshen gave a bow and left seriously.

Looking at his back, King Huan didn't speak for a long time, but his anger was already imagined.

Guo opened his eyes and turned his eyes around, observing his expression, and taking advantage of the situation and said, "King, the prime minister has always been in power. Today, you have not listened to his advice, so he is naturally a little dissatisfied."

Hearing this, King Huan was furious: "What do you mean is that I can only listen to him alone? I cannot choose the opinions of other beloved ministers? Then Qiu Rong, who is the only one who decides this court!?"

"This is the fear of my memory, and the king will calm down." Guo Kai bowed quickly, but he felt secretly happy. Obviously, the effect he wanted was achieved.

"Hmph!" King Huan snorted coldly again, extremely unhappy.

Speaking of which, in fact, Huan Kingdom has cheated Qiu Rong many times. His previous incident of seals has almost ruined his reputation and has been made fun of by all countries.

That's the Prime Minister.

Qiu Rong was also exhausted when facing a monarch like King Huan.

After returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he shook his head and sighed: "Turn the wolf into the house, lead the wolf into the house..."

He was disappointed. In order to make King Huan change his mind, he even said he was sick and refused to court in the next few days, intending to show his determination.

The starting point of this approach is to make King Huan realize his wrong decisions, but when the treacherous ministers are making trouble, the situation can be imagined.

Guo Kai took this opportunity to stop living in King Huan's ears, saying bad things about Qiu Rong, saying that he monopolized the power and forced the king, and even pretended to be sick and refused to come to court. He drank many times in the mansion, saying that King Huan was not.

But King Huan just took this trick, and his prejudice against Qiu Rong became deeper and deeper.

To be angry with the monarch, it depends on what kind of monarch it is. For King Huan, Qiu Rong's ill behavior will not only not have any effect, but will only backfire.

The court and the battle situation are changing. Xiao Yuan is still attacking Wuxia Pass, but Huan's army has 70,000 people. No matter how strong your military strength is, it is impossible for you to capture it in just a few days.

At the same time, the war in Anyang has broken out.

These 100,000 prisoners are even more terrifying than ordinary young and strong, because they are all traitors, many of them are death row prisoners, and there are also many thieves from the past.

Of course, those with centurion or above in this team were all officials of the Huan Kingdom, but some bandits were promoted by Zhu Hui and asked them to be generals and officials, in order to suppress ordinary prisoners.

It is easy to cause trouble if criminals go to the battlefield, and these people are also an unstable factor.

Zhu Hui understood this in his heart. Before the war started, he had given several lectures, telling the prisoners clearly that after the war, not only would they be given land and gold and silver, but all past crimes would also be written off!

This is a great temptation for criminals in prison, especially those who are about to behead, and there are many thieves who want to take this opportunity to turn their lives around.

Therefore, in the battle of Anyang, although 100,000 prisoners were wearing prison clothes, the first battle broke out and the battle was extremely fierce.

On the battlefield, Zhu Hui was wearing general armor and even pointed at the sword and shouted:

"Kill! Kill into Anyang!"

"There are countless gold and silver in it! Countless beauties!"

"Just kill in! All of these are yours!"

"I will give you all the things in Anyang! From now on, you will no longer be guilty!"

The so-called heavy rewards must be followed by brave men. Such incentives made the prisoners rush towards Anyang fiercely as if they were crazy.

Fortunately, Zhou Ce had 30,000 troops and sufficient food, grass and weapons, so there was no problem for defending and fighting.

However, the first battle was quite bloody. After the first battle, Zhou Ce also showed a slight worry on his face.

The Anyang County Magistrate Hu Mingzhong defended the city with him. Seeing this, he said, "I understand that the general's concern is that the king is really unable to support us now. To defend Anyang, we have to rely on ourselves."

"What are some good strategies do you have?" Zhou Ce couldn't help asking.

Hu Mingzhong thought for a while and said, "The current situation of the war is not too great for us. First, the people of Anyang are on our side. Second, the other party, Zhu Hui, the Marquis of Nan, was led by 100,000 prisoners. Most of these people had to go to the battlefield to clear their crimes. We can start from here."

"What sir means is to instigate these 100,000 prisoners?" Zhou Ce asked in a narrow voice.

"It is not a rebellion, but a turmoil for them to cause chaos. They have no morale and no military discipline. Once chaos occurs, it will spread all of them." Hu Mingzhong said: "We can send out news to let them know that they are free and no one will blame them again in the future. Huan Kingdom can no longer protect themselves. As long as they put down their weapons and go back to their own houses, even if the Qin army comes in, they will not pursue them and will also pardon their past crimes."

"Yeah..." Zhou Ce nodded slowly after hearing this.

Seeing that he agreed, Hu Mingzhong said again: "Since that's the case, then I am willing to enter Zhu Hui's camp as an envoy and secretly incite the prisoners."

Hearing this, Zhou Ce shook his head without even thinking about it, and said, "No, no, this is too dangerous. Even if Zhu Hui does not kill the envoy, it will be unpredictable to enter the 100,000 prisoners. Lord Yang has suffered misfortune. If Lord Hu has another accident, this general will not be able to explain to the king at all."

He was right, this was not a joke. Just as Hu Mingzhong was about to say something, Zhou Ce said again: "In this way, we will make a noise. There is no need to send envoys. This general will never agree to Lord Hu's request."

"This." Seeing him say this, Hu Mingzhong had to say: "Okay, anyway, we must guard Anyang, General, this is not only your and my duty, but also the safety of the people in the city. If those 100,000 criminals enter the city, the consequences can be imagined..."

"I understand, Lord Hu don't worry. Even if he fights one soldier and one soldier, he will never take a step back!" Zhou Ce said seriously.

"Okay, everyone is united. I will mobilize the people of the whole city." Hu Mingzhong also looked serious.

With 30,000 defenders and the people of the whole city, 100,000 prisoners want to attack, it is probably difficult.

At Hu Mingzhong's suggestion, the wind began to blew.

In two days, rumors spread among the prisoners.

Some people say that it is impossible to conquer Anyang, and then everyone will have to die on the battlefield.

Some people say that everyone was used by the court and came to die.

Some people say that if you run away now, no government will arrest us again.

When Zhu Hui's camp learned about these rumors, his face was gloomy and he was scolding several bandit leaders.

"You guys go and suppress those rumors right away!"

"Don't believe these nonsense!"

"The Qin State's law is strict! You are all people who kill and set fire, kill and rob. Once the Qin army enters, do you think the Qin King will pardon you!"
