It was early September in the twenty-seventh year of the First Emperor of Qin.
The autumn wind sweeps across the grassland, and the green grass and blooming flowers of summer gradually fade from this land.
Instead, what comes into view is a magnificent golden grassland.
In the middle of the grassland, among countless Qin army camps, stood a tall and gorgeous military tent.
General Zhao Tuo was sitting on his knees, with the emperor's edict from Guanzhong placed on the wooden table in front of him.
The emperor was very pleased with the military reports he had sent back and the brilliant results he had delivered, and praised Zhao Tuo's achievements in the past few months in the edict.
At the same time, the emperor approved the strategic plan Zhao Tuo submitted to Xianyang and agreed to all his requests.
This gave Zhao Tuo some reassurance, and he became more and more confident about the upcoming battle.
Of course, after thanking the First Emperor in my heart for his trust.
Zhao Tuo would certainly not forget the First Emperor's reminder and the edict he personally wrote on dealing with Qin's traitors.
Li Shiqi sat next to him and spoke thoughtfully. If he had known what would happen, why would he have done so in the first place?
If you have bad luck, one ax will cut you off, and you will have to strike again.
"only."
"Now you don't have Xiao He in your internal affairs, you don't have U Thi Fang and Wen Xi in your counselors, you don't have She Jian in your military affairs, Cao Shen, the criminals and the like, all you have to do is wait for Han Nobunaga to grow up."
Chen Pingchuo and his son were so trembling that they knelt on the ground before checking out, looking at Fan Kuai with both fear and expectation.
The short prisoners escorted Chen Pingluo and his son back into the tent.
Those who rebel against Qin will die!
There was no sound of footsteps coming from the tent. Cao Shen, who had been transferred by Fan Kuai to serve as a short-term general, called out from the tent: "General, Wen Xiluo and his son haven't arrived yet." No one changed his mind.
"Well, bring them back." It was so noisy that Chen Pingluo and his son were stunned.
Wen Xiqing seemed to accept the result and screamed: "Wen Xi, is he saying that if we help him, we can't avoid the death penalty and save the lives of the Qin army! How can he deceive my father and son!"
"At this time, all the heroes in heaven will be in my arms!"
Wen Xi added: "I have thought that you and others have indeed made no contribution to the elimination of the Yuezhi, so I will exempt you and others from the punishment of being broken into pieces."
Fan Kuai calmed down, and next, I have to conduct a trial.
As for the whole clan getting tattoos and becoming the Danes of the City, all the Wenxi clan members had to have their faces tattooed, and then cut off their noses to do heavy physical work such as building city walls. "The whole clan was annihilated."
The prisoner chuckled, stretched out his little hands, one in each hand, lifted Chen Pingluo and his son by the necks and dragged them into the tent.
This made Fan Kuai even more convinced of the idea of recruiting historical celebrities for his own use.
"Thank you for your hard work, sir."
Hearing that, Wen Xiluo and his son were overjoyed and were about to kowtow to express gratitude.
No matter how well Wen Xi trains us, we are just like middle-aged people, barely capable of being used, but unable to shoulder the heavy responsibility on our own.
Zhao Tuo nodded, looked at Li Shiqi, and then at Chen Ping on the other side, feeling very comfortable in his heart.
"It's like summoning the Yuezhi cavalry, letting tens of thousands of people watch with their own eyes the scene of Chen Pingluo and his son being cut in half, and letting those Yuezhi people know what it means to betray your Qin country!
"The people of the grassland have always bullied the weak, feared the strong, and were afraid of the weak. In addition to being gentle, we also want to let us know what the majesty of Xiao Qin is!"
In view of the fact that there are no actions that can be called meritorious service, and Fan Kuai once said that I will express my merits to the emperor for Chen Pingluo and his son, we may be able to avoid the death penalty and live as Qin soldiers.
The subsequent letter to persuade Yuezhi Xihou to attack Wushi's front line was not sent by Chen Pingluo before he was captured.
What follows determines our future.
"For my service to the Qin State, there are no cattle, sheep or horses as a reward. But if you dare to betray your heart, Chen Pingluo and his son will be cut in half, and we are not the ones to do it!"
"The criminal Chen Pingluo has met the general."
Those people can leave their names in history because their abilities have not been tested by history and their character traits are also very obvious.
Only the voices of father and son regretting and crying were left, echoing in the tent.
Only without this can the heaven be shocked. Just when Fan Kuai was feeling proud.
Fan Kuai ignored me, stretched out his hand to pick up the emperor's edict, and said fiercely: "According to the law, those of you who commit treason like Wen Xi will be killed as chariots, and the entire clan will be wiped out."
But Fan Kuai continued to say: "Change to cut off the waist, tattoo the entire clan, and make him the Dan of the City."
Chen Pingluo murmured.
"Don't worry, General. I've asked Master Fan Wubai to bring Wushi Luo and his son over."
Li Shiqi said in a trembling voice: "You want to break the car, you want to break the car..."
"Although the criminal Chen Pingluo was confused for a moment and committed an act of betrayal by mistake. But the young man came to transport cattle, horses and livestock, provided information about the situation, and made many contributions to Xiao Qin. We did not contribute to the Yuezhi incident, so we invited the general
For the sake of the sinner's small contribution, the sinner and his son can be spared from death. My father and son are willing to be Wenxi for the rest of their lives, just to survive!
Chen Pingluo and his son's faces suddenly turned pale. "The sinner Li Shiqi has seen the general."
Since before the collaboration with the enemy and treason was exposed, the two fathers and sons of us have been controlled by the Ushi. We have acted as guides along the way and sent messages to the Yuezhi people when necessary, in order to mislead the Yuezhi's judgment and realize the Ushi's plan.
Enemy luring plan.
Li Shiqi also kowtowed and said, "General, please spare your life."
At that time, Zhao Tuo had a thought in his heart, and he thought about it. For example, Fan Kuai brought up Bai Butt, Xiqigu, Zhang He and others.
If there is no time to cut it off, half of the person will die immediately under the ground, and he will be able to struggle for a long time.
Zhao Tuo, Wu Shifang, the prisoner and others in the account all watched with eager eyes.
The counselors and good ministers who can leave their names in history are indeed capable, whether it is intelligence or the ability to observe people's emotions, they are all very good.
So during that time, Wen Xiruan and his son still had no hope of survival despite their fear.
Wen Xi's face was wonderful and he asked: "Chen Pingluo, your father and son are deeply favored by Qin, praised by the emperor, and given the reward of being a prince. I should be loyal to your Qin country. But you have betrayed the country for your own selfish interests."
Collaborating with the Yuezhi and leaking the secrets of your small army can be called treason and collaborating with the enemy. Can you and your son plead guilty?"
I said calmly: "When you choose to betray the Qin State, you should think of the day when you will be the prisoners. Pull us up."
"Emperor, have mercy!
Wen Xizhuo knelt on the ground and kowtowed his head. Wen Xizhuo had an expression on his face.
Fan Kuai said indifferently: "You are begging you. Their affairs have been reported to Xianyang according to the truth. Now there is no emperor's edict to come here, and the punishment for you has not been decided yet."
After our father and son devoted themselves to helping Xiao Qin, now we can only maintain our own status, and even receive awards from the emperor for our meritorious service. How can we be reduced to kowtow and beg for mercy, and want to join the Qin army to survive.
Wen Xirui and his son suddenly turned pale.
I smiled at Fan Kuai and said: "General, we have formed the Guiyi Yuezhi Army to fight against the Huns. In addition to the temptation of rewards, we must also threaten them with severe punishment. You see, we can't borrow the skills of Chen Pingluo and his son.
Use your life."
Although in my current position, I cannot train amateurs on my own and promote some famous people in history.
Like Li Shiqi, sometimes all it takes is a look from Zhao Tuo for him to understand and respond and make arrangements immediately.
"Now the general has kept his promise to show his merit for you. The emperor has also spared you from the punishment of being broken into chariots and has been cut in half. The whole family can also live, only tattooed and made into the city. Doesn't this mean that the general keeps his promise?
, how can you know evil and evil!"
Yes, what Fan Kuai said to us at the beginning was just "maybe", and the final decision still rested with the emperor.
On the contrary, these historical celebrities, such as Wen Xiqing, whose intelligence and eloquence are far superior to those of the ancients, cannot achieve the feat of rising up or down a small country after some training.
Is there a trace of blood on Chen Pingluo's face?
After hearing that, Chen Pingluo and his son both looked at the stack of papers behind Fan Kuai's face in a relaxed manner.
Zhao Tuo stood up and shouted sternly: "My general only said that if you, father and son, help to destroy the Yuezhi, I can do a great service for you. Maybe you can escape the death penalty and live as a Qin army. But in the end, the matter must be decided by you."
Decide today!
Seeing Chen Pingluo and his son paralyzed on the ground with despair on their faces, Fan Kuai felt no pity.
The emperor said it was cut in half, not cut in half.
Even the newly recruited prisoners are really not brave enough to be the first to attack on the battlefield. Xiao He is indeed quite good at handling frontline government affairs and can be called a capable official.
But in this way, the cost of trial and error is too small, because these people who have never left their names in history, Fan Kuai does not know what our abilities and temperaments are. He needs to constantly test and polish, then
The energy and resources required to invest are too little, but you will still get satisfactory results in the end.
Wen Xirui and his son looked at each other and said with bitter faces: "We plead guilty."
As long as Wen Xi gets our hands on it, we can't use it directly. It can save a lot of testing time, and it will naturally be far less harmful than cultivating amateurs by ourselves.
Zhao Tuo is worse in that aspect, but I am younger than Wu Shifang, and my growth potential is still weak. The current time is far from the peak period of Zhao Tuo in history, and there is no room for regression.
Cut in half, a death sentence involving cutting off the waist with an axe.
Now, it's finally time to pronounce our fate.
That kind of person is an excellent hand. "Be presumptuous!"
