General Qin

"Since Mrs. Dai agreed to surrender yesterday, why did she break her promise and attack our army at night?"

Zhao Tuo stepped forward and spoke lightly.

Dai Wu knelt on the ground, knocked his head on the ground, and said in a mournful voice, "I've lost my mind, I'm dissatisfied with Mr. Li's position as the county magistrate. Marquis, in exchange for the magistrate of Su County. This matter is all my fault, and Dai Wu is willing to suffer all punishments."

Zhao Tuo sneered and said, "Really? How did I hear that Dai Yu thought up this matter? He also summoned your Dai clan and said that my Qin army wanted to slaughter your entire Dai clan after breaking the city. All the members of the Dai clan aroused the indignation of these thousands of people, so they went out of the city to attack our army at night."

Seeing that his words had been punctured, Dai Wu's whole body trembled like chaff, he could only kowtow and say, "Please punish the military officer, Dai Wu is willing to suffer all kinds of torture, I only hope that the military officer can spare my son Dai Yu and the common people in the city." .”

Dai Yu, who was escorted not far away, burst into tears when she heard this.

He opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but no sound came out of his throat.

Zhao Tuo did not speak, and none of the generals of the Qin army behind him spoke.

The air was almost frozen, and the oppressive atmosphere made Dai Wu sweat like rain, his whole body trembling, and his heart was filled with anxiety.

At this moment, Zhao Tuo smiled. He stepped forward to support Dai Wu's body, and said with a pleasant face, "Mr. Dai, don't be afraid. I, Qin Jun, are not the barbaric and rude people in the rumors of the Six Kingdoms. I have nothing to do with Dai's matter." It is already clear. You are a loyal elder, and the matter of surrendering is not false, but you were deceived by the younger generation, so you made a big mistake."

"I, Zhao Tuo, am not unreasonable, nor am I a person who kills indiscriminately. I will punish Mrs. Dai, but I will never kill wantonly. You can rest assured about this."

"Besides, the post of Sui county magistrate still falls on you, Dai Wu."

Dai Wu was stunned.

First of all, he didn't expect the commander of the Qin army to be so young, he looked like a young man, and he was not as old as Dai Yu, yet he could become a marquis of the Qin army who controlled 5,000 people. It was really surprising .

The second point is that Dai Wu didn't expect that the other party, as the winner, would treat him with a kind face, instead of ridiculing him as he imagined and then punishing him severely.

Moreover, according to what the military marquis said, Qin Jun actually wanted to stop investigating Dai's night attack. Although there will still be punishments, as long as they don't kill people, no matter if it's money or effort, those punishments can't be more light.

What surprised Dai Wu even more was that the young military marquis actually said that he would fulfill his previous promise and continue to let himself be the magistrate of Su County!

Dai Wu was overwhelmed immediately, and quickly bowed his head and kowtowed again.

"Thank you, Marquis. Marquis is a great virtue, the world is the most benevolent! Dai Wu is a guilty person, and An Neng can be the county magistrate. As long as the Marquis can let Dai go, Dai Wu will be satisfied."

Zhao Tuo narrowed his eyes and stared at Dai Wu.

"I let you be the magistrate, so you will be the magistrate."

The plain voice was full of unquestionable meaning, Dai Wu was excited, and hurriedly said: "What the military officer said is true, what the military officer says is what the military officer says, I, Dai Shi, will definitely obey!"

Only then did Zhao Tuo nodded in satisfaction, and walked into the city.

What happened next was just like Zhao Tuo's promise.

The Qin army released all the members of the Dai clan captured last night. Even if it was Dai Yu who was the mastermind, Zhao Tuo just gave him a reprimand and then sent him back to Dai Wu without killing him.

This time, except for the families of those who died last night who were still grieving, the entire Dai family was grateful to Qin Jun.

They all understood now that Qin Jun had no intention of slaughtering Dai Shi from the very beginning, and everything was a deception by Dai Yu.

Dai's express promise to surrender, but he wanted to attack the other party at night, this is a matter of treachery.

After the defeat, not only did the Qin army not retaliate by killing, but instead let go of all the captives, and even appeased Dai, and even let Dai Wu be the county magistrate of Su County in Qin State as promised before.

What is the rumored tiger and wolf division, the brutal army?

This is a proper teacher of benevolence and righteousness!

The whole Dai family, from Dai Wu to the common people, are all grateful for the magnanimity of the Qin people.

Even Dai Yu, who was proud and arrogant, had all his arrogance broken in this night attack. He couldn't help but feel admiration for the Qin Guojun who captured him and then released him.

"He can predict that I will attack at night, and he can be said to have predicted things like a god."

"After the captives, don't torture and kill us, and treat us magnanimously, this is benevolence and righteousness."

"Marquis Zhao, you know things like a god and are benevolent and righteous. You will become a famous general in the future!"

In addition to letting Dai's family go, the Qin army did not kill and loot in Sui County when they entered the city, but strictly observed order. After taking over the city, let Dai Wu come forward to appease the common people in the city.

Therefore, in just two days, Zhao Tuo had completely controlled Sui County in his hands. From the Dai family with the deepest roots to the ordinary people, they no longer feared or hated the Qin army, and cooperated willingly.

"Hey, do you know why I pardoned Mrs. Dai?"

In the house, Zhao Tuo sat on the couch, drinking the wine in the scorpion, and asked Shejian on the other side.

Shejian thought for a while, and replied: "Just like Zhao Erwubaizhu said, if the Dai family is wiped out and we go east, those Wei people will definitely not dare to surrender and cooperate, and will definitely resist desperately. Instead, the army The pardon of General Dai shows the benevolence of our army, and when those Wei people in the east see it, knowing that surrender can save them from death and preserve their wealth and status, many people will be willing to surrender."

"Where there are battles and surrenders among those Wei people, there will be disagreement. If there is disagreement, our army will be able to take advantage of the situation and break through, and we will be able to make great achievements!"

"That's right. From the perspective of warfare, your art of war is indeed not in vain."

Zhao Tuo praised Shejian. Since learning the art of war, Shejian's strategic vision has gradually increased, and he can already see the seriousness behind things. He is not as focused on immediate interests as Heizhi.

However, Shejian can only see this level at the moment, Zhao Tuo turned to look at the other person in the room, and asked, "Does Mr. Li have a strategy?"

Li Shiqi drank the wine in the cup and said with a smile: "The Dai family is like a big tree. It has taken root in Sui County for hundreds of years. Among them, it is absolutely difficult to eradicate. If the military marshal kills the Dai family in the city, not only will he bear the reputation of killing indiscriminately, but the nearby Wei people will definitely fear and hate, let us go east, and the road ahead will be restless."

"Furthermore, Mrs. Dai originally intended to surrender, but caused trouble because of Dai Yu's greed. This time our army used those hundreds of Mrs. Dai's heads to frighten them, showing the might of our Qin army, so that Mr. Dai and his son would not dare to be greedy again. The military marquis will then use the position of the county magistrate to appease the Dai family. With the help of the Dai family, our army will be able to guarantee a safe and stable future. It's just..."

Zhao Tuo raised his eyebrows.

"It's just what, sir, you can say it freely."

Li Shiqi said in a dark voice: "As the saying goes, people's hearts are unpredictable. Although Dai said he surrendered, there is no guarantee that there will be no repetitions. We have to guard against it."

"It's better to recruit Dai Yu to accompany the army. He is called a follower, but he is actually a hostage. With this person in our hands, Dai Wu is cowardly and will never resist. He will definitely support our army with Dai's strength in the rear. Hehe, it's safe to do so."

Zhao Tuo laughed, pointed at Li Shiqi and said, "Sir, you are really talented, this is a clever plan."

"In addition to Dai Yu, I also want to recruit another five hundred young and strong Dai family members to join the army, and give them a chance to 'promote and make meritorious service'."

"In addition, in addition to appeasement, we must also give corresponding punishments to the Dai family, so that we can convince the public. The follow-up food and fodder for our army's eastward journey will be provided by that Dai Wu. I think there are Dai Yu and five hundred Dai family members in the army. If people want to follow each other, then Dai Wu must be willing and do his best."

Li Shiqi laughed and said: "The opinion of the military marquis is also extremely brilliant!"

Zhao Tuo quickly made arrangements for Su County.

Before the arrival of the county magistrate and county lieutenant appointed by the Qin State Central Committee, Dai Wu, the county magistrate whom Zhao Tuo had reported, was in charge of the administrative affairs of Sui County.

In terms of military affairs, it was managed by the five hundred Zhang He who Zhao Tuo stayed here to guard.

As for Dai Yu's being conscripted into the army, although Dai Wu felt reluctant, he had nothing to do.

On the contrary, Dai Yu looked excited, and he said to Dai Wu: "Father, I learned the art of war in the past, and I thought I could be compared to the famous generals in the world after learning a little. I don't know how clever I am. I see that Zhao Junhou is young, he uses soldiers like a god, and he will definitely become a famous general in the world in the future. I would like to go east with him and learn his skills in using soldiers!"

Speaking of this, Dai Yu recalled what Zhao Tuo said to him, raised her head and said, "I have understood the word 'pattern' that Zhao Junhou said today. In the past, I only put all my thoughts on this corner of Su County. I don’t know how big the world is, and it’s far better than this. I should also do what Zhao Junhou said, to open up my own structure and get out of this small Su County.”

"Now is the time for the Qin Kingdom to go east and destroy the six kingdoms. It is also an opportunity for us men to conquer the world and make great achievements."

"Zhao Junhou is right, what is a small county magistrate?"

"A man lives in the world, he will be a marquis in life, and he will be a temple food in death!"

"I, Dai Yu, am going to follow Zhao Junhou and find the Marquis on the battlefield!"

Stay until the next day.

Five thousand Qin troops in high spirits lined up and walked out of the east gate of Sui County.

The black banner fluttered in the wind.

The spear and halberd in Qin Jun's hand pointed in the direction of Shan Fu in Zhengdong.
