Chapter 365 Arrangement of the prisoners
Towards the south of the Huai River, a large area of land north of the Yangtze River, and the black dragon flag of Qin State flutter high.
After Shouying fell, there were no more established Chu troops north of the Yangtze River. There were many cities. As long as the Qin army appeared in the eyes of the Chu people, the county magistrates and county magistrates hurriedly opened the door and surrendered.
Meng Tian personally took charge of Shouying and sent his generals to lead his troops to sweep the north of the Yangtze River to prepare for the attack on Jiangdong.
The Chu army in Shouying City dared to resist, and when the Qin army attacked the city, all the casualties were killed and injured. Seeing that the Qin army was in great power, the rest had to put down their weapons and surrender.
Instead of easily releasing the surrendered Chu people, Meng Tian took them as prisoners of war and began to build roads in Chu.
The royal family of Chu moved east to Shouying, and the operation was not long. There were only Shouying, Quyang and other places, with convenient transportation. Other places and some paths were extremely inconvenient to exchanges from all over the country.
"General, will these surrendered Chu soldiers be used as prisoners increase the resentment in the Chu people's hearts?"
Following Meng Tian's stay in Shouying, Xishuang received the road construction task assigned by Meng Tian, and he was quite suspicious.
"Xishuang, if I slap you now and give you another pound of beef, what would you think? Don't think about it, tell me honestly."
Wang Jian and Wang Ben conquered Zhao Wei. The surrendered Zhao Wei people put down their weapons and returned to their homes. Meng Tian's approach seemed not so kind. Xi Shuang was hesitant, but Meng Tian was not surprised.
“·······”
Xishuang raised her head, looking confused, and she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Meng Tian had no intention of reaching out.
"Ah, I'll think that although you slapped me, you gave me a pound of beef."
"What if I give you a pound of beef and slap you again?"
"You gave me a pound of beef, but you slapped me."
"Look, the same thing, but the order of use is different, and the feeling is different."
Meng Tian smiled and said, "The Qin army defeated the Chu people in succession, captured Shouying, and destroyed the Chu State that had lasted for 800 years. The Chu people had long no idea how much they hated us."
"At this time, even if you are kind and righteous to the people of Chu, the people of Chu will not appreciate it. Instead of doing so, it is better to take advantage of the opportunity of the powerful soldiers and the people of Chu who are scared to slap them hard. When the road construction is completed, they will be released and treated with good wine and meat, so that the people of Chu will cherish it even more."
Meng Tian had this idea as early as when he was sheltering the captives of Chu.
During the Warring States Period and the turbulent times of the Warring States Period, there were already people who worked as soldiers in the army of various Warring States Period. These people had no skill except for being in the army and fighting.
Qin State conquered the Three Jins and disbanded the local army. Many soldiers lost the opportunity to join the army and fought, and could only become rangers and join the underground anti-Qin forces.
"I understand that I will use these Chu prisoners well."
Xishuang was very smart. Her eyes turned and she understood Meng Tian’s thoughts.
First let the surrendered Chu people feel nervous and live in fear, and then give them hope for life. At that time, the Chu people may not only not have resentment, but also be glad that the Qin people will let them live.
High, really high!
No wonder Meng Tian was young, who was able to lead his army to attack Chu and continue to win. Xi Shuang was amazed and admired her deeply. Meng Tian’s thinking was always so unexpected.
"I hand over the captive Chu people to you, not letting the Qin people slap them."
Seeing that Xi Shuang could get on the road so quickly, Meng Tian couldn't help but want to give some more words: "Dou and Xi are under the command of the two Chu people. They followed the Qin army to fight, earned merits and get titles, and then divided the house fields. You can transfer a team of troops to your command."
The seven heroes of the Warring States Period attacked each other for more than two hundred years, and many hatreds began in the Spring and Autumn Period.
The Qin and the Three Jins began to fight since the reign of Duke Mu of Qin. The hatred between Qi and Yan in the east, Qi and Chu in Qi and Chu continued for hundreds of years.
Qin State conquered the six Shandong countries and unified the world. The contradictions between the six countries lurked in a short time, and all the hatred suddenly concentrated on Qin State.
When the crisis occurred in Qin State, the people of Shandong rose up and aimed at destroying Qin, achieving a close alliance that had never been achieved during the Warring States Period. No matter how strong the Qin army's combat effectiveness was, it would not be easy.
The Qin State in another world did not divide Shandong carefully, which made itself a target of hatred by Shandong people.
The land of Shandong can be divided and won over; the land of Chu is not an ironclad piece, and it can win over some of the people of Chu, which is related to the interests of the Qin State and gain their support.
Meng Tian planned in his mind that since he was the general of attacking Chu, he could no longer let the Chu people twist into a rope, hating Qin and hostile to Qin people.
Although Chu has three households, if Qin is destroyed, Chu will surely be destroyed. This curse by Duke Nan of Chu represents the unwillingness in the hearts of the Chu people. However, if one household supports Qin and one household remains neutral, the remaining household will not be so easy.
Xishuang took Meng Tian's order and focused on dealing with the Chu prisoners, and Meng Tian still had many things to consider.
"Jing Su, what is Fu Chu's current situation?"
After the Qin army attacked the Chu Palace, they did not break into Fu Chu's bedroom. They just sent troops to surround him and sent envoys to persuade Fu Chu to surrender with a decent surrender.
"This Fu Chu is quite tall and looks very brave, but in fact he does not have the bloodiness of Zhurong's family."
Jing Su recalled his experience at Zhangtai Palace and smiled and said, "The Qin army broke through Shouying, and Fu Chu hung ropes on the beams in the palace. When I went in, he still stuck his head in."
"If he really reaches in, it will cause me a big trouble." Meng Tian gave Jing Su a angrily glance, "Since Fu Chu doesn't want to die, you will deal with him."
The Qin army conquered the six Shandong countries, and the monarchs they encountered, as the last monarch, did not show any bloody nature that Meng Tian appreciated.
As the referring of thousands of people, King Zhou of Shang, the representative of the foolish king, was able to burn himself to death when the country was destroyed. The monarchs of the six Shandong countries had the courage to die if they destroyed the country.
"Don't worry, General, I will make Chu people very disappointed with Fu Chu."
Jing Su put away his smile and gradually narrowed his eyes.
Those who are familiar with Jing Su know that Jing Su's expression shows that the person who falls in his hands will suffer.
"I have sent someone to pick Mi Tong up to Shouying. At that time, let his uncle and nephew appear in front of the Chu people!"
"General, the king's idea is to completely defeat the Chu State. When will our army withdraw the flag of Mi Tong?"
When Meng Tian took over as the commander of attacking Chu, he asked Ying Zheng for a favorable decree.
The Chu people who were trained to surrender were under the banner of helping Mi Tong to regain the throne. Meng Tian’s purpose was to attack Chu, but it was not that no one in Xianyang had made any complaints. Jing Su felt a little worried when he heard some news.
Meng Tian stood up, walked around the hall gently, frowned. According to his original idea, he had to wait until he completely swept Jiangdong before he could end his role.
There are many people who defected to Mi Tong, who really wanted to support Mi Tong as the King of Chu. After capturing Ruyin, these people began to busy schedule.
Over time, it is inevitable that there will be more dreams in the night.
"It's time to solve the problem of Mi Tong..."
