After Ye Qingmei left, Qin Hao's eyes shifted to Chen Baxian.
To be honest, Qin Hao still has a certain fondness for Chen Baxian, Emperor Chen Wu. After all, anyone who can build a foundation with his own hands during the chaotic period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties and has a good overall reputation must be a hero of the generation.
This also made Qin Hao look forward to meeting Chen Baxian.
Qin Hao originally thought that Chen Bahui was a hero. Putting aside the rest, at least he would not be afraid of death. But what he never expected was that Chen Baxian, a hero in his eyes, was now crawling in front of him without any heroic spirit.
Wei Qiu Sheng did not dare to admit even a single word of what he had done before, and he only wanted to blame others.
It's better to be famous than to meet him. Qin Hao sighed secretly and felt a little disappointed in his heart.
Of course, Qin Hao did not despise Chen Baxian because of this. After all, ants still live in vain, let alone humans?
People who are not afraid of death are indeed worthy of respect, and being afraid of death is not a shameful thing.
"Stop kneeling."
Qin Hao stretched out his hand and said, "Get up quickly."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Chen Baxian responded quickly, and Qin Hao added: "Chen Baxian, to be honest, I don't care at all whether you are being coerced by the family, but..."
Qin Hao's words made Chen Baxian feel anxious. Just when he thought he was about to die, Qin Hao made a 360-degree turn.
"Since Miss Ye has said so, it can be seen that the Liao family is indeed rotten to the core, so I will treat you as the king who was coerced."
Hearing this, Chen Baxian breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Qin Hao had already said so. He probably would not kill him for claiming the title of king, and apart from claiming the title of king, he seemed to have no other fatal sin.
……Bar.
A trace of amusement flashed in Qin Hao's eyes, and he said with a faint smile: "Since you were coerced into claiming the title of king, and then completely ignored, the issue of the pseudo-Chen Kingdom surrendering to the Qing Dynasty naturally has nothing to do with you.
As for the fact that you helped the traitor Wang Mang and became enemies of our army several times, considering that each is his own master, I can also pursue it, but..."
Chen Baxian thought he had escaped, but Qin Hao's 'but' made his heart jump into his throat again, and he didn't understand what went wrong.
"There is one more thing that I have to investigate."
Qin Hao said with a sneer, the murderous look in his eyes was not concealed at all. This frightened Chen Baxian so much that he broke into cold sweat. He knelt down again with a 'plop', feeling extremely regretful in his heart for trusting Hei Bingtai. In the end, his surrender turned into
Take the initiative to die.
Damn Hei Bingtai, how dare you lie to me. Chen Baxian roared in his heart.
When Hei Bingtai wooed Chen Baxian, the first benefit he offered was to forget the past and ensure that Chen Baxian could survive.
It was precisely because of this that Chen Baxian rebelled against the Qing Dynasty and surrendered to the Qin Dynasty. After all, if this could not be guaranteed, then why would Chen Baxian risk rebellion?
But what Chen Baxian didn't expect was that Qin Hao didn't seem to be ready to let him go.
Do you want to break the contract?
This idea was rejected by Chen Baxian as soon as it came up. After all, Qin Hao had a very good reputation, and since he had made a promise, he would not break it.
Moreover, for a person with such a disreputable reputation, it is obviously not worth it for Qin Hao to be known as not keeping his promise.
Then there is only one possibility. Qin Hao never gave him any promise at all. It was Hei Bing who was deceiving him from the beginning to the end.
At this thought, Chen Baxian's heart was full of anger, but he did not dare to explode. He said with a bitter look on his face: "Your Majesty, although the guilty general has made mistakes, he has also made meritorious deeds for the Qin army. Please give the guilty general a chance to reform."
.”
"Haha, so you have merit but not fault?"
Hearing this, Chen Baxian was completely desperate. He no longer expected to be spared by Qin Hao, nor did he want to die without dignity. He looked directly at Qin Hao in unison and asked: "Please, Your Majesty, let the guilty general die clearly."
Chen Baxian is also a little curious now. What reason will Qin Hao use to execute him?
Qin Hao said it himself just now. The family does not blame him for treason by proclaiming the king, and he can forget the blame for going against the Qin army. So what reason does Qin Hao have to execute him?
His current status is that of a surrendered general, and he is still a surrendered general who has made meritorious service. If the reason for executing him is not sufficient, who will dare to surrender to the Qin army in the future?
Qin Hao was a little surprised by Chen Baxian's change, but he was still not ready to let him go just like that. He said indifferently: "Why? You forgot so quickly? Think about it yourself."
Chen Ba was stunned for a moment, then fell into deep thought. Apart from proclaiming himself king and resisting Qin, he had never done anything else to offend the Qin army.
In addition, he also took the opportunity to raid the Manchu and Qing military ports, burning a large number of ships and food and grass, completely cutting off the Manchu Qing's retreat. Overall, he was a great contributor to the Qin army.
"The guilty general really doesn't know. Please tell me clearly, Your Majesty."
"In that case, I will make it clear to you that it was your idea to burn the Qing ships, right?" Qin Hao asked in return.
"The crime will be punished. Is there anything wrong with that?"
Chen Baxian asked in confusion. In his opinion, burning the ships and cutting off the Manchu Qing's retreat was a great thing for the Qin army.
"Of course not."
Qin Hao's voice became louder, and he said in a cold voice: "Chen Baxian, Chen Baxian, haven't you ever thought about it? Since the Qing army's port is so important, why didn't our Qin State send troops to make a surprise attack, but instead gave you a chance?"
Chen Baxian was stunned for a moment. If Qin Hao hadn't said anything, he would never have thought of being questioned like this. After thinking about it carefully, he suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
It seems like he really did something stupid.
"Xian Chen Ba, do you think you are the only smart person in this world? Everyone else is a fool?
I really thought that no one could think of this. You, Chen Ba, was the only one who thought of it first, right?
Our navy of the Qin Kingdom stretches across the north and has few opponents. If we really want to destroy the Qin army's port, how can the Japanese navy stop us? Moreover, the Japanese navy may not fight to the end for the Manchus and our navy.
For me, it was easy to destroy the Qing army's ships. The reason why I didn't do this was because I didn't want to push it too far and prevent the Manchu and Qing from fighting to the death, so I deliberately left a glimmer of hope for the Manchu and Qing.
But you were so smart that you burned all the Qing ships. Without these ships to escape, the Qing army, which had lost hope, would fight to the end in despair.
Our army could have easily won this battle, but because of your unnecessary actions, even if we were able to win in the end, the casualties would definitely increase greatly.
If you wanted to surrender, you could have fought back in the decisive battle, but you chose to be smart and make your own decisions, disrupting our army's strategic deployment."
At this point, Qin Hao said word by word: "You, say, you should, shouldn't, deserve to die, ah?"
bump……
Chen Baxian felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his face turned pale and weak, his legs were weak, and he collapsed directly to the ground.
Qin Hao was right. If he wanted to surrender, it would be better to counterattack during the decisive battle between the Qin and Qing Dynasties. However, he thought he was smart and attacked the Qing army's military port, and did such a unnecessary and stupid thing.
"Report... to report to my lord, Nurhachi burned all the last dozen ships and burned all the remaining food and grass. Under the desperate situation, the Qing army was excited, and 120,000 Qing troops were coming towards our army under the leadership of Nurhachi.
.”
Wow...
All the civil and military personnel of the Qin army were immediately in an uproar.
The 120,000 Qing troops and the 120,000 Qing troops who dared to fight to the death were not the same concept.
For a moment, everyone looked at Chen Baxian with murderous intent. It was this man's cleverness that caused such a big change in the originally stable situation.
"What else do you have to say now?" Qin Hao said coldly.
"I have nothing to say, but I hope to die quickly."
Chen Baxian said frustratedly that the blow to him this time was greater than being ignored by the aristocratic family and humiliated by the Manchus. It even made him doubt his own abilities.
"Come here, take Chen Ba first and imprison him. We will decide his life or death after the war."
"promise."
After Chen Baxian was escorted off, Qin Hao looked at the civil and military forces below and said with a smile: "Everyone, Nurha jumped over the wall in a hurry, imitating the overlord's move of breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat, but he didn't know that our Chinese art of war is profound and profound. His move was just a copycat imitation. It's hard to believe at all.
A place of elegance."
Looking at Qin Hao with a relaxed look on his face, most of the generals present were infected by him, but some of them were murmuring in their hearts.
Is the Lord really sure to crack Nurhachi's desperate plan?
