The king of Zhao, who chose to build his capital in Handan, certainly did not expect that once the enemy country broke through the borders of Zhao, the surrounding area of ​​Handan was in a plain, with a flat horse and no danger to defend.

When Zhao State was strong, there was no war crisis in Handan, but once Zhao State declined, Handan became a fruit tree on the ground, without the protection of fences, and the fruits fell helplessly in the wind.

In history, as early as when King Hui of Wei was in power, the powerful Wei army had conquered Handan. If King Hui of Wei was not too timid and was hit by Sun Bin's plan to siege Wei and save Zhao, it is still unknown whether Handan could continue to become the capital of Zhao.

More than 20 years ago, when the Qin army was at the city of Handan, Qin made a series of mistakes. In addition, Zhao State's joint strategy was appropriate, so he barely saved the stormy Handan.

Now that the Qin army is once again at the city of Handan, can Handan be safe again?

The Zhao army outside the city was almost wiped out, and the elephant that was highly anticipated became a dinner for the Qin army. The Zhao army soldiers on the front of Handan City all looked sad, shrugged their heads and closed their eyes, and did not dare to see the bloody battle outside the city.

The Qin army led by Meng Tian rushed forward bravely and vividly explained to the people of Zhao, what is the Qin of tigers and wolfs?

"General, the entire Zhao army was wiped out, and the remaining scattered soldiers fled south, probably to join Li Mu's army." Luo Jia wiped the blood from his face and directed the soldiers to start cleaning the battlefield, alerting the Zhao army in the city to rush out, waiting for the labor.

Thinking of the battle that had just ended, Luo Jia was very afraid. If Meng Tian had not been to the command of the army and the command was determined, the Qin army would have been afraid that they would have won first and then lost the opportunity to gain a foothold in Handan City.

"Hu Zhe actually thought of using an elephant to deal with our army. I think it would be better to impose a punishment for Hu Zhe as a head, so that the people of Zhao can see the consequences of opposing the Qin army!"

Li Bi swung his shoulders, and there was a wound on his left thigh, constantly bleeding. When the battle elephant stepped forward, Zhao Jun used the cover of the battle elephant to hit Li Bi's thigh with the crescent moon.

The so-called punishment for snatching the head originated from the "Fa Jing" formulated by Li Ku, the Wei State. After Shang Yang's reforms, it was established as the punishment for Qin State. The heads of those who were punished would be cut off and picked on a bamboo pole to show them to everyone, and they would not be buried in peace.

In the eyes of modern people, all people are dead, Hu Zhe's head has become the military merits of the Qin army. If he does not show it to the public, Hu Zhe will not experience any pain. However, in ancient China, the ancients attached great importance to the honor after death. If he still cannot get peace after death, it would be a huge insult.

"There are many beheadings in this battle, so I just piled up the Zhao people's heads and made them into Jingguan to intimidate the Zhao army in the city."

Meng Bao, who was panicked during the battle, finally came to his senses at this moment. He was so angry that he gritted his teeth for Hu Zhe who led the Zhao army.

"Meng Hu, what do you think?"

Meng Tian rode on the horse, his eyes crossed the head of Handan City, and landed on the towering and gorgeous palace in Handan City.

During the Warring States Period, people who fought frequently and fought all year round had a natural desire for blood. The cruelty towards the enemy had been integrated into the genes of the Warring States Period.

Meng Hu led his personal soldiers to dismount and fight in the field, and personally confronted Zhao people face to face. From Zhao people's eyes, Meng Hu could see fear, but not at all.

The spirit of martial spirit flows in the bones of the Zhao people, but since King Wuling starved to death to the Shadui Palace, the Zhao court has been wasting the martial spirit in the blood of the Zhao people.

The king of Zhao lived in the deep palace and was good at the hands of women. Every generation was worse than the other. The operation of the central government of the country had no fixed and clear strategies and was trapped in chaos.

Whenever the turning point of national destiny appears, the king of Zhao almost makes the wrong choice.

"General, the failure of the Zhao army is due to the lack of a wise monarch in power. Deep down, the Zhao people were not convinced by our Qin State. They completely defeated the Zhao people's psychological defense line with killing, so that the Zhao people no longer had the will to resist Qin State. If this could be played, Meng Hu agreed to the killing of the Zhao people."

Whether to convince people with virtue or strength is always a difficult problem. Meng Hu felt the hatred of the Zhao people towards Qin and couldn't help but feel a little afraid.

Kill all those who can resist, and such thoughts arose in Meng Hu's heart.

The cold eyes of the generals under his command made Meng Tian feel the cruelty of the Warring States Period.

When Bai Qi, the Wu'an Jun, led his troops, he would kill a large number of surrendered enemy soldiers in every battle. On the one hand, it was to win military merit for himself, but as for Bai Qi, it was also deliberately creating fear.

When the enemy heard Bai Qi's name, his legs trembled, as if the wind was gushing, and he was afraid before the battle.

The name of the God of War is often forged in the blood of the enemy.

If Meng Hu's idea was that Ying Zheng really killed the descendants of the nobles of the six countries on a large scale, the peasant uprising at the end of Qin would not have formed the scale of a prairie fire.

"Have you heard of mutual appreciation?"

As dusk slowly fell, Meng Tian rode his horse towards the military camp and asked inexplicably.

"Empathy? Does it mean mutual respect between opponents?"

Meng Bao touched her head and replied tentatively.

Luo Jia, Li Bi read very little and was not interested in reading. He couldn't help but look at me and I looked at you, but I couldn't figure out what Meng Tian wanted to express.

"What you are talking about is one aspect. In my opinion, mutual appreciation is a living person who respects the dead enemy. If the enemy is still alive, the more people who deserve mutual appreciation, the greater the harm it will be to our army."

Meng Tian's eyes, using the torches of the Qin army camp, saw Hu Zhe's head. In the eyes of the Qin army, the head of the enemy's chief general represents title and land. Beheading one level can be promoted to another level, but if the enemy general is killed, it is not a matter of upgrading to another level.

After the war, when military judges recorded military merits, the heads of the enemy generals were always treated with special treatment. Of course, soldiers who killed the enemy generals could also receive preferential treatment. It can be foreseeable that a bright future awaits them from now on. The Qin army's military merit system may not be so wonderful for the children of nobles who are accustomed to the romance of love and romance, and less gentle. But for the lower-level people who have not many ways to rise, even if thousands of troops cross the single-plank bridge, they always give the Qian leaders the opportunity to change their destiny, just like the college entrance examination system in later generations.

"The more you are worthy of your mutual appreciation, the best way to treat him is to defeat him and then show your mutual appreciation. You must remember that sometimes, living people are more effective than dead people. As a leader, whether it is killing or lenient, you must remember the real goal in your heart."

Meng Tian suddenly stopped the war horse, turned around, pointed at the head of Handan City, and slowly spoke:

“That’s the goal in my heart!”
