The Jagged Empire of Daqin

Naturally, Luo He and the others were no exception, but they chose to surrender without hesitation, regardless of the risk of the whole family being beheaded, which showed that in their eyes, surrender was their only way out. Surrender is the only way out?

Worried about being defeated?Or are you worried about being exposed for empty pay?

Luo He can become a fifth-rank ghost general, guarding the world's largest gate, and his backer is affirmed by the court. Even if the front line is defeated and the empty salary is all exposed, he will not be beheaded, at most he will be dismissed.

Besides, Luo He will definitely lie about the military situation and say that the missing soldiers were killed by the Qin army. In this way, there will be no exposure of the lack of pay.

Therefore, Ying Jiang guessed that there must be something hidden about Luo He's surrender.

Hearing Ying Jiang's sneer, Luo He raised his relaxed heart again, and fell into hesitation.

Once the truth is told, it is impossible to hug the thigh of the Great Qin Prince, but if he does not tell, his life may be lost.

After weighing the pros and cons, in order to save his life, Luo He reluctantly confided: "During the period when the villain was stationed at Guimenguan, he pretended to be a bandit and robbed and killed more than [-] civilian women. own pocket."

"Because there has been no threat to the Guimen Gate or replenishment of ordnance for many years, the mechanism of the Guimen Gate may have become old and can no longer be used. If the Qin army did not attack the Guimen Gate, the court would not know about it. But Qin Jun is now attacking the Guimen Gate. Exposed!"

"At the beginning, the imperial court spent tens of millions of taels of silver to build the ghost gate. After more than 200 years after the completion of the construction, the imperial court allocated a large amount of ordnance and a sum of agency maintenance fees every year. At least hundreds of millions of silver were burned for the ghost gate!"

"If the imperial court knows that Guimenguan has become a border gate that does not live up to its name, it will definitely kill the villain and the nine clans. In order to protect itself, the villain has no choice but to surrender. I hope His Highness the First Prince will forgive me!"

Luo He didn't dare to hide this matter, because this matter was not a secret in the Guimenguan camp, and any general above the school lieutenant could find out the truth. If he concealed it, it would be like an old birthday star eating arsenic and seeking his own death.

Ying Jiang, Zhu Bo, and Yang Taozhen were shocked when they heard these words.

The ghost gate, which is sitting on the world's largest pass, has turned into a waste pass?Oh my God, if this news gets out, the entire Kyushu will be shaken, and the Han Dynasty will be ridiculed by other countries. More than 200 years of hard work and dedication have been exchanged for a ruin.

All the ancestors of the Han Dynasty might crawl out of the imperial mausoleum angrily.

This Luo He is really pitiful. The gate of hell that the Han courts have painstakingly maintained in the past has become a corruption machine in his hands. However, this also proves that the officials of the Han court are not clean. Behind Luo He must be the Han court. One of the best big names.

Otherwise, Luo He, a mere fifth-rank general, would not be able to do this. After all, there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and he can keep this secret for more than ten years. It is conceivable how many ministers of the Han court are involved in it.

Now I can also understand why the Zhao Dynasty can quickly recover its national power after experiencing the defeat of Han, Zhao, Yanqi and Qin Zhao, while the Han Dynasty only experienced one defeat in the Four Kingdoms War. This problem lies in the core of the Han Dynasty .

Corruption was prevalent, and the emperor was a mediocre king, without drastic measures, which caused the Han Dynasty to experience a serious injury, and the disease became more and more serious, unable to be cured.

"Come on!" Ying Jiang shouted softly!

"The end is here!"

Zhu Bo and Yang Taozhen behind them responded with solemn expressions!

"Drag him out and cut him off!" Ying Jiang stared at Luo He coldly, without any emotion in his tone.

Luo He's eyes widened, and he shouted in horror and disbelief: "Your Highness, what are you doing, what did the villain do wrong, why did you kill the villain!"

Pu Jiang, Huang Gui and the eight thousand Han soldiers all looked at Ying Jiang in disbelief, never expecting that Ying Jiang would order Luo He to be killed.

Why kill?Shouldn't Luo He switch and surrender?

How come there is no reward and punishment, or heavy punishment.

Not only Han Jun felt unbelievable, but Zhu Bo and Yang Taozhen were also terrified.

Kill Luo He?Why!

Facing everyone's doubts, Ying Jiang patiently explained to Luo He: "Why do you want to kill you? Is it because you are empty-paid? Or is it because you are corrupt and accept bribes? No, you do these things, although my Highness I hate you, but you are not my Qin general, you are not eating my Qin army's empty salary, and you are not greedy for my Great Qin court's money, so Qin Lu can't kill you, only Han Lu can kill you!"

Chapter 969 Entering the gate of hell!

"The real reason why my Highness wants to kill you is that you pretended to be a bandit and plundered and killed three hundred civilian women. The crime is so heinous that everyone can be punished. Now, can you die to understand?"

Luo He's face turned pale, and his body went limp for a while. Even after killing him, he never thought that the crime he least cared about was fatal.

"His Royal Highness, please forgive me, the girl that the villain plundered was not Qin's daughter, so you can't do it!"

"Your Highness, the villain sincerely surrenders, you can't do this!"

Luo He began to beg for mercy with the horseshoe of Ying Jiang's sweaty BMW under his crotch. He looked so pitiful that he almost shouted out that there was an 80-year-old mother and a child waiting to be fed to fit his current image.

"Drag on!" Ying Jiang waved his hand indifferently.

Yang Taozhen and Zhu Bo jumped off the horse together. Zhu Bo grabbed Luo He by the back and carried him away. Yang Taozhen walked under Yingjiang's horse, looked at Yingjiang with a slightly worried expression and said, "Prince, Luo He voluntarily surrendered, if you kill him, it may be unfavorable for the rest of the battle!"

Killing the first person who voluntarily surrendered is undoubtedly telling those who want to surrender later that you may not be alive if you surrender. In order to survive, it's good for you, and you will kill them if they surrender.

This is killing surrender!

"It's easy to fight the world, but it's hard to stay in the country!" Ying Jiang replied indifferently.

After hearing this sentence, outsiders must feel that this sentence has no brains, but Yang Taozhen is the grandson of Yang Ze, who has been influenced by his ears and eyes since he was a child, and has more or less political talent.

It is only a matter of time for the Qin of the Tiger and Wolf to wipe out all the countries in the world. There is no difficulty that cannot be easily overcome, but governing the world is not a simple matter of time. The female family explained?

This is not only to explain to the three hundred families, but also to the people of the whole world. Kill Luo He to win the hearts of the people. Any king or virtuous minister will choose to kill Luo He!

"Understood!" Yang Taozhen leaned over with shame on his face, and then turned and walked towards Zhu Bo.

At this time, Zhu Bo had already brought Luo He to an open space, and both the Qin and Han armies could see him. Yang Taozhen walked up to the ashen-faced Luo He, pulled out the sword at his waist expressionlessly, and turned his head. He shouted at the Qin and Han armies:

"Although Luo He descended to Daqin, he harmed the people in the past, and now Daqin is doing justice for the heavens, eliminating harm for the people, beheading Luohe as a sacrifice to the souls of the dead!"

After finishing speaking, Yang Tao raised his sword and slashed away!

"No!"

"puff!"

Accompanied by a shrill sound, a bloody human head rolled to the ground, and Luo He, the headless corpse, also fell limply to the ground!

Han Jiangzheng, Luo He, the fifth-rank general of the ghost gate, was executed by the Qin army just like that!

Once Luo He died, the soldiers of the Han army seemed like a dream, usually majestic and majestic, the incomparable ghost general died like this, it is really unexpected.

Pu Jiang and Huang Gui were so frightened that they didn't dare to look up, they were trembling all over. Ying Jiang sensed their reaction and knew that these two people must have participated in this matter.

"What do you two have to say?" Ying Jiang asked softly with no expression on his face.

"Forgive me!"

"Forgive me, First Prince, we dare not do it again!"

Pu Jiang and Huang Gui didn't dare to excuse themselves at all, and started begging for mercy.

"You don't need to be afraid, as long as you hand over the money obtained from corruption over the years and the money obtained from Luo He's corruption to my highness, my highness will only kill the mastermind, not the accomplice, and I will punish you lightly, but if you Be careful, none of you can escape!" Ying Jiang said straight to the point.

The mastermind, Luo He, is already under the law, and continuing to kill will not have much effect, it will only be counterproductive, everything must be done at the same time, otherwise it will be like what Yang Taozhen said, and he will not dare to surrender at that time.

"I said, I said, as long as the eldest prince spares the villain's life, the villain will say anything!"

"Yep!"

Pujiang and Huang Gui expressed their position without hesitation, not daring to play tricks at the moment of life and death.

Ying Jiang was very satisfied with the attitude of the two, and immediately ordered the army to enter the customs. At the same time, he also ordered the weapons thrown away by the Han soldiers to be confiscated and impounded.

After a period of time, the Qin army successfully entered the pass and successfully seized the control of the ghost gate. Ying Jiang, who was curious about the mechanism of the ghost gate, went to the inside of the city wall to take a look.

More than half of the city wall was empty, and it was full of large and small gears, and there were all kinds of mechanisms. The two most important mechanisms were the crossbow and arrow mechanism and the fire oil mechanism, which were the same as Ying Jiang guessed, which made Zhu Bo He and Yang Tao were greatly admired.

It is a pity that the ghost gate mechanism has not been maintained and repaired for more than ten years. Some wooden gears have shown signs of decay, and most of the crossbow lines of the crossbow mechanism are broken. Not a drop of kerosene in it.

Luo He and his gang are too greedy, they don't give a single drop of kerosene to the ghost gate.

The giant gate of the ghost gate is considered scrapped.

What a pity!

After seeing the organs inside the city wall, Ying Jiang asked Pu Jiang and Huang Gui to hand over the money obtained from the embezzlement. After more than half a day of counting, Pu Jiang embezzled a total of 1000 million taels of silver, Huang Gui embezzled a total of 1000 million taels of silver. It is more than 500 million taels of silver embezzled!

In addition to the three of them, the three captains and nine school captains of Han Jun Guimenguan Daying all shared a lot of benefits from Luo He, totaling more than 300 million taels of silver.

All together, there is a total of 800 million taels of silver, all accumulated by the generals of the Han army in Guimenguan for more than ten years. No matter where the money is placed, it is not a small number. It is the same in Daqin, and it is also a large amount high money.

After counting, Ying Jiang packed up the money and the prisoners of war and sent them back to the Qin army camp at Lushanguan, while he himself led his troops to station at Guimenguan, waiting for new news from the Qin army camp at Lushanguan.

When Ying Chang learned about the situation of Guimenguan, he was also taken aback. He didn't expect that it would be so easy to seize Guimenguan, and he didn't even fire a single shot.

Ying Chang reckoned that if the Han dynasty learned about the surrender and embezzlement of less than half a billion generals at Guimenguan, Emperor Han would vomit blood in anger on the spot.

Really lost the pass and lost half a billion.

As for Ying Jiang's beheading of Luo He, Ying Chang is very supportive, because his point of view is the same as Ying Jiang's. If Luo He is not killed, why would the common people be angry? This means that Luo He is not a Qin general. Da Qin, Ying Chang had to punish his nine clans.

ps: "Please recommend a ticket, ask for a monthly ticket, ask for a reward, ask for a full order!"

Chapter 970 Wang Kai can't do it!

On the second day after the ghost gate was broken, Ning Shilang, Feng Feng, Xu Shui, Cao Zhen, and Pei Ji led their respective troops through the ghost gate to attack Dashui County, Qingwa County, Huagezi County, and Cangzhou County. Marching into the Korean border at a frightening speed!

Three days in a flash!

The 28th year of Shengqin, August 23rd!

Great Shu Dynasty, Shuxi County, Tao Capital!

On the four towers of the Tao Capital, all the soldiers of the Shu army sat against the wall with withered complexions. They also showed pain and couldn't lift their strength.

The Shu army had run out of food yesterday, the whole army had been hungry all day, everyone was dizzy, and even very few people had red eyes from hunger, this was only the situation on the tower, the people in the city had been without food for four days .

The fact of changing children and eating is common now.

"I'm very hungry"

No matter where in the city, there were waves of weak exhortations.

On the East Tower, Wang Kai, who had already woken up, and many generals were standing on the edge of the city wall. Looking at the Qin army at the foot of the mountain outside the city, and listening to the weak exhortations of the soldiers, Wang Kai and many generals looked lonely and even anxious. .

"General Zuo, going on like this is not an option!"

"Yes, the soldiers have nothing in their stomachs, and they can only rely on drinking water to survive every day. If this continues, without the Qin army attacking us, a large number of us will starve to death, and even arouse civil uprisings and even mutinies!"

"General Zuo, the last general made an unappealing suggestion, why don't we surrender, and leave the green hills alive without worrying about firewood!"

"This is the best way at present. If you can't fight again and again, you can only surrender to preserve your strength!"

"Are you going to surrender? I really don't want to!"

Many generals couldn't help but began to speak out. A small number of generals expressed their surrender, while the majority of generals remained silent, neither supporting nor opposing surrender.

"Surrender?" Wang Kai muttered to himself and repeated, then turned around, and said coldly to the generals: "As a native of Shu, as a general of the Great Shu, how can you surrender to foreign enemies, and how can you surrender to the enemy?" The foreign enemy forced a confession and begged for mercy, telling you that as long as Ben is here, you will never surrender!"

The generals couldn't help being silent when they heard the words, but soon a general who refused to accept Wang Kai stood up and asked: "What General Zuo said is very reasonable, but please tell General Zuo, what should our army do now? Come up with a strategy to deal with the enemy, what General Zuo said just now is just nonsense!"

"That's right, General Zuo don't talk so nicely, you have to come up with something practical!" Another general echoed.

"Yeah yeah!"

"That's right!"

All the generals also agreed one after another, without saving any face for Wang Kai.

Wang Kai was not angry when he saw this. After all the battles were lost repeatedly, it is normal for the generals under his command to feel resentment, and he shouted with a firm expression: "This general's countermeasure is to fight to the death with the Qin army, and the whole army will go out of the city to fight the Qin army! "

The generals were startled suddenly, and the whole army went out of the city to fight the Qin army?

Is Wang Kai crazy?

Now the generals and soldiers of the army are panicking from hunger and their morale is low, while the morale of the Qin army is high and their strength is higher than themselves.

Seeing the reaction of the generals, Wang Kai couldn't help sneering: "Why, you are scared!"

"It's not a question of whether you're afraid or not. The general pardon said bluntly, General Zuo's strategy is simply to send him to death, and to give the Qin army meritorious service. It is impossible to defeat the Qin army!"

"That's right, the morale of the Qin army is so high, wouldn't it be death to rush forward?"

"That's right!"

"Correct!"

All the generals said one after another that they were all against leaving the city for a decisive battle.

"Hmph!" Wang Kai snorted coldly, "It's better to be broken than to be whole, Dashu man, I would rather die standing up than kneeling to live, whether you like it or not, anyway, I will be General Zuo personally appointed by His Majesty, Responsible for all battles in Shuxi County!"

"You must listen to this general, otherwise you will be disobedient. Now this general orders you to gather all the troops and horses at the west city gate. The 13 soldiers of the whole army will attack the Qin army's western defense line together, and tell the soldiers!"

"As long as you successfully break out of the siege, I will let every living soldier eat enough every day, kill a soldier of the Qin army, and reward a hundred taels of silver, kill a captain of the Qin army, and reward 300 taels of silver, whoever will kill the Qin army in this battle The more you kill, the more Qin generals you will be beheaded, and the general will protect him as a knight!"

The generals looked at each other with helpless expressions.

What the hell? It's better to say that jade is broken than tile.

What kind of reward is there, I am afraid that if you have money, you will lose your life!
