Chapter 83 Daqin Zhaoshu, ask the old general to die—!
"Your Majesty, Guo Kai, pays homage to the King. The King has been here for ten thousand years and the Qin Dynasty has been here for ten thousand years——!" Seeing Zhao Shu's assurance, Guo Kai saluted in the direction of Xianyang and said.
At this time, Fen came with the corpse and said to Zhao Shu: "General, Chun Pingjun of Zhao State resisted stubbornly and was beheaded by the last general and his men."
"Um."
Nodding, Zhao Shu said to Dunwei: "Sir, I will leave Guo Kai to you. Together with the civil servants sent by the king, prepare to take over Handan City and Anmin."
"promise."
Dun nodded weakly, knowing that at this moment, Zhao Shu was the supreme commander of the nearly 300,000 troops and all the Qin officials in Handan.
Even he must obey military orders.
Everything needs to serve the war, Dunwei knows this very well.
Compared to Dunwei's calmness, Guo Kai's scalp was numb. He knew in his heart that Chunping Jun and his family were Zhao Shu's warning to him.
Watching Zhao Shu leave, Guo felt a sense of fear in his heart. He had always felt that the people he interacted with all abide by the rules.
On the contrary, he was the one who was least disciplined. As a result, today he met Zhao Shu, who was so bold and almost lawless.
"General, where are we going?" Li Ji came over and asked Zhao Shu.
Glancing at Li Ji, a smile appeared on Zhao Shu's face. They had fought together and fought bloody battles, so their relationship was naturally more harmonious.
"Go to Lian Po's house."
Zhao Shu replied, and Li Ji on the side smiled bitterly and said: "It is impossible to persuade Lian Po to surrender. This man is extremely loyal to Zhao and has been growing up in the army."
Zhao Shu did not answer and was speechless along the way. A quarter of an hour later, the group arrived at Lian Po's house. Looking at the mansion in front of them, Zhao Shu spoke quietly.
"The State of Zhao is a country of heroes. How sad that such a country has fallen and has become a line in the vast history books!"
After that, Zhao Shu looked at the soldiers besieging the mansion and said: "Open the door, I'm going to see old General Lian Po!"
The door of the mansion opened, and a white-haired old man came towards Zhao Shu and said, "Are you the commander in chief of this battle?"
"Exactly."
Zhao Shu looked at the old man and knew in his heart that this was Lian Po, one of the four famous generals of the Warring States Period.
"You are young and promising, God is so kind to Ying Qin!" Lian Po sighed. He was surprised by Zhao Shu's youth and lamented Zhao Shu's commanding ability.
He seemed to have seen the rise of Lord Wu'an in the Qin State.
"Thank you for the compliment, old general. God is not kind to Zhao. It's a pity."
Zhao Shu smiled and looked at Lian Po calmly. After a while, Lian Po turned to Zhao Shu and said, "I don't know why the general came here?"
"It would be unbearable for the great Zhao State to collapse like this. Such a heroic country should not end like this."
Zhao Shu took a deep look at Lian Po, smiled and said, "I've heard for a long time that the old general is extremely loyal to the State of Zhao."
"These mountains and rivers need loyalty, and the State of Zhao also needs famous people to bury them."
"So, this is the purpose of Zhao Shu's trip."
Having said this, Zhao Shu saluted Lian Po solemnly and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, old general, your descendants will be safe and sound."
"Da Qin Zhao Shu, ask the old general to die——!"
Hearing this, Lian Po couldn't help but smile. He had lived for most of his life and had seen too many things, so he naturally understood Zhao Shu's purpose.
It's just that Zhao Shu used such a high-sounding reason, which really made him not expect that the young man's face was still immature, but he had a thick skin, which was the first time Lian Po had seen him.
"Hahaha, you are right, let me be loyal to the State of Zhao and infiltrate the mountains and rivers of the State of Zhao with my loyal blood!"
After saying this, Lian Po drew his sword and killed himself.
Looking at the fallen corpse, Zhao Shu's eyes were calm, and he gave instructions to Fen: "For Lian Po, let's have a grand burial, and don't make it difficult for the family."
"They are allowed to arrange funerals, but the necessary surveillance must not be cancelled."
"promise."
Having said this, Zhao Shu went to Fen and said, "Go find Dunruo and tell him that the news of Lian Po's suicide will spread throughout Handan and even Zhao."
"In the name of Lian Po, I reprimand King Zhao for being foolish, and reprimand Hancang and the Zhao royal family for being disloyal..."
When Li Ji heard this, his back felt cold. This was a direct act of killing Lian Po, forcing him to death, and using Lian Po to make a fuss.
"General, Lian Po is dead, and the deceased is the most important. If you do this, you will be criticized by everyone in the world!"
"The war is not over yet. This is the need of the war." Zhao Shu glanced at Li Ji and said with a cold tone: "If the people of the world are to blame, let me blame the general!"
Li Ji was silent.
Compared to others, Zhao Shu knew better about Lian Po's terrifying influence in Zhao State, so neither Lian Po nor Li Mu could survive.
Especially in Handan City now, Lian Po must die. Even if God comes, there is no reason to leave Lian Po behind.
Once Lian Po is serious enough to pose a huge threat to Qin's rule in Handan in a short period of time, such a dangerous element cannot be left alone.
However, Zhao Shu chose the most direct and safest method.
After Zhao Shu had dealt with Guo Kai and Lian Po, he headed towards the shogunate. The surrender troops in Handan City were no less than 150,000.
Moreover, there is a steady stream of young men in the city. If Guo Kai is not subdued and Lord Chunping and Lian Po are killed, they will most likely capsize in the gutter.
"Sima of the Chinese Army, have you calculated the casualties of the army?" This was the first thing Zhao Shu said when he walked into the shogunate.
Hearing this, the Sima of the Chinese army did not care about anything else and quickly turned to Zhao Shu and said: "General, since our army attacked at night, the losses will not be big."
"We had 6,500 killed, 3,200 seriously injured, and 34,500 slightly injured..."
"Let the army's traditional Chinese medicine doctors treat the wounded soldiers and dispose of the bodies of Zhao Jun and our fallen soldiers to avoid the outbreak of the plague."
Zhao Shu looked at the Chinese Army Sima Shen Sheng coldly and said: "Once a plague breaks out in this big city with a population of nearly one million, we will die and we will not be able to atone for our sins!"
"promise."
Seeing Sima of the Chinese Army nodding, he turned towards Li Ji and said, "General Li Ji, you are responsible for counting all the deaths in the army since I took command, and then let the legal officials verify the military exploits."
"promise."
At this moment, Li Xin came in a hurry and said to Zhao Shu: "General, what should we do with these surrendered Zhao troops now?"
After hearing this, Zhao Shu turned to Li Xin and said, "How many surrendered soldiers are there?"
"General, there are about 150,000 people, not more than 200,000."
Li Xin looked worried. He had seen Zhao Shu's decisive killing and was afraid that Zhao Shu would make the same decision as Wu'an Jun Bai Qi.
"General, it is not appropriate to kill at this time!"
