Cangshan is like the sea, and the setting sun is like blood.

Including Shangdang's army and Zhao Kuo's army, the total number of Zhao soldiers captured by the Qin army reached 400,000.

The winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit. The victorious party will naturally show off its power. From the commander to the soldiers, the Qin army is immersed in the joy of victory, drinking and eating meat to celebrate this great victory. For this hard-won victory

In order to win the victory, the Qin army spent a huge amount of manpower, financial and material resources, and hundreds of thousands of people perished before and after.

While the losing side lamented their defeat, they were also secretly glad that they could survive this meat grinder-like war. Both King Qin and Bai Qi were drinking in the military camp, and they couldn't help sighing and sighing at all this. In the past, both of them stood tall.

Having set their ambitions to conquer the world, they are now expecting great things, but both of them are already gray on their temples. Time passes, and I don’t know if these two can wait until the day when the world is unified.

During this period, Bai Qi had already told the King of Qin his strategic plan to unify the world. Now Zhao has been completely defeated by the Qin army. The world is so big that no one can defeat it. Qin's top priority is to destroy Zhao first.

country, at the same time, quickly restored Qin's national power, and then launched a series of

In the war to destroy the country, the first targets will naturally be South Korea and Wei. Once the three Jin lands are pacified, it will be easy to conquer the world. Finally, separate the remaining three countries and defeat them one by one: after stabilizing Qi, attack Yan first,

Then eliminate the Chu State, and finally attack the Qi State. In this way, the world will be settled.

As soon as Lord Wu An revealed his plan, the King of Qin was very impressed. This coincided with the strategy he had discussed with Fan Ju. Back then, he could only serve as a hostage, but now that the world has been reversed, he actually has the strength to rule.

It is truly amazing how unpredictable things are in the world.

King Qin Zhaoxiang knew that he could achieve such achievements in his life thanks to three people. One was Empress Dowager Xuan, who helped him ascend to the position of King of Qin and laid a solid foundation for Qin; the other was Fan Ju, without him and his "

With the strategy of "diplomating far away and attacking close", Qin could not be so adept on the stage of other countries; the last person was naturally Bai Qi. Without him, how could the Qin army be invincible in the world and how could it defeat the powerful Zhao army?

The Zhao army was defeated miserably, leaving more than 400,000 prisoners. How to place these prisoners became a difficult problem for Qin.

Bai Qi knew that the current 400,000 prisoners of the Zhao army were consuming more military rations every day than the Qin State could handle. The Battle of Changping had almost emptied the Qin State's food reserves, and now the Qin Army's own food supply was already very tight.

, there will soon be a danger of food shortage. In addition, Zhao Guojun is still an unknown hidden danger.

It is a bomb that may explode at any time. Staying in the military camp will definitely not work. Moving to Qin's land and flooding it with its people will probably lead to mutual vendettas and wars, and there may even be people who secretly have an affair with Zhao. If Zhao is released,

country, as long as King Zhao raises his arms, they will definitely be recruited again. Three years

More than half of the Qin army suffered casualties in the Ping war, which is enough to show the strength of the Zhao army. If they were recruited again, they would definitely know their shame and become brave, becoming a thorn in the side of the Qin army.

After considering the matter, everyone understood that there was only one way to prevent Qin from future troubles forever, and that was - killing.

Although King Qin Zhaoxiang was decisive in killing, he never thought that he would massacre 400,000 unarmed prisoners. Once such a thing was done, although it could greatly frighten the enemy, it would undoubtedly leave an eternal infamy. Therefore, King Qin Zhaoxiang did not know

After meeting Bai Qi, he returned to the State of Qin. Before leaving, he left a verbal instruction, asking Bai Qi to act as he pleased and to handle the issue of prisoners of war in Changping with full authority.

Wang Lu was at a loss, Wang Jian was confused, and Sima Geng was also palpitating. They knew that Qin’s choice was to kill the prisoners of war; they also knew that King Qin was unwilling to bear this infamy. Since this war was started by Bai Qi

Yes, then this ends

, let Bai Qi finish it. Anyway, after many years of war, Bai Qi's hands are already bloody. Killing one person is still killing, killing ten thousand people is still killing. Bai Qi doesn't care, as long as it is beneficial to Qin, he will bear the eternal infamy.

, no matter what.

People at that time were very taboo about killing surrendered prisoners. The King of Qin himself could not bear this bad reputation and arouse the public anger of the people in the world. Sima Geng, Wang Lu, and Wang Jian were all bloody men, and they all wanted to help the Bai people.

Bai Qi shared the blame, but Bai Qi didn't need it because he was the commander-in-chief and the one who could not be surpassed by anyone in the Qin army.

In fact, it is extremely difficult to make up the mind to kill 400,000 Zhao troops, but there is an even more difficult thing behind, that is how to do it. You know, that is a total of 400,000 troops, just standing there and letting the Qin army kill them, it is also

I don’t know what year or month it will take to finish the killing. If they are aware of it before taking action and take precautions and rise up to resist, the Qin army camp will definitely be in chaos.

So, Bai Qi ordered to drive the Zhao army to the direction of Yanggu while the Zhao army was not prepared at all. Before that, the Qin army also found 240 people under the age of 14 among these prisoners. They were lucky.

, because Bai Qi decided not to kill them, but they were also unlucky. In order to shock Zhao, Bai Qi decided to let them watch the entire process of the Qin army slaughtering Zhao's prisoners.

Therefore, the Qin army divided the 400,000 Zhao captives into 10 camps and assigned 10 generals to command them respectively. At the same time, it also allocated 200,000 Qin troops to maintain public order. In order not to arouse the suspicion of the prisoners, Bai Qi also issued a

The fake edict made them prepare to accept the selection of the Qin army tomorrow, and all those who qualified

Anyone who fails will be sent to the Qin army's barracks, and those who fail will be given travel expenses and sent back to Zhao. The prisoners of the Zhao army took this seriously, thinking that Bai Qi was a man of great benevolence and righteousness, but they did not know this fake edict.

There is a huge murderous intention hidden behind the order. They don't know that what awaits them is the endless night underground.

This night is destined to be extraordinary

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

One night, the mountain wind howled, like the call of hell; the wild land floated, just like the legend of life. The Qin army drove the prisoners from 10 large camps into a valley, then divided their troops to block the entrance of the valley, and then removed countless rocks and lit firewood from the valley.

The cliffs on both sides were smashed down one by one. Until this time, the Zhao army prisoners thought they could have a good meal tonight and then have a good sleep. Unfortunately, wait

What awaited them was a torrential rain of rocks and fire. At this time, Zhao Jun was so hungry that he had no strength at all and was unable to resist. Most of them were either burned into charred corpses by firewood, or had their heads smashed by rocks, or even were killed.

The huge boulder completely crushed the body and turned it into a pile of meat patties. Occasionally, a few stronger Zhao soldiers who struggled to climb up the mountain were quickly killed by the Qin army on the top of the mountain and thrown back into the valley.

For a whole night, the Qin Army's hundreds of thousands of troops were like madmen. The dark night witnessed the ugliness of human nature. The next day, a heavy rain suddenly fell from the sky, which seemed to be a deep mourning for the hundreds of thousands of dead. But

May the deceased rest in peace, and may all the blood and sin be washed away and forgiven.

Yang Xiong of the Han Dynasty lamented the encirclement and killing incident in the Battle of Changping: "In the Battle of Changping, 400,000 people died, the flesh of the wild beasts, the blood of the people in the valleys, and Chiyou's rebellion was nothing more than this."

The green hills after the rain are like a conscience washed by tears. Under Bai Qi's stern appearance, there is a cold heart. It seems that he has felt that his mission has been completed. Whether it is infamy or fame, it is left to others to comment. At this time

Every soldier in the Qin army looked at Bai Qi expectantly with red eyes. Then

400,000 people is the military title they dream of. Bai Qi looked at those expectant eyes and nodded, agreeing. I don’t know who was the first to rush into the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood, enjoying the "bumpy harvest"

Bai Qi was so happy that he jokingly called the mountains with piled heads "Bai Qi Terrace".

No one buried the 400,000 headless corpses. From then on, no one or any animal dared to cross or approach within a hundred miles. People were often heard crying there, perhaps because they were homeless ghosts.

And sadness may be the wailing of those in spring boudoir dreams after despair.

Until the eleventh year of Kaiyuan of the Tang Dynasty (AD 723), Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty Li Longji visited here and could still see the sight of bones all over the mountains and plains. In order to appease their dead souls, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty personally offered sacrifices and ordered eminent monks to perform water and land rituals for seven days and nights to save the pit.

He killed the souls of the deceased and named the valley "Valley of Province of Injustice".

In addition, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty also collected their bones, built tombs for them, and built a Skeleton King Temple there. "Select the giant among the skeletons and erect a statue of the Skeleton King" to commemorate the 400,000 miserable lonely souls.

Wild ghosts. From now on, the land will be peaceful

There is a tradition that local officials, no matter what dynasty, generation or rank, will come here to offer sacrifices on behalf of the emperor every spring and autumn. To this day, there is still a temple that enshrines the statues of Zhao Kuo and his wife.
