Cheng Ping is right. People in many places in the Ling Kingdom have begun to flee to the Qin Kingdom due to the shortage of food. Once they enter the Qin Kingdom, they can buy food. In order to fill their stomachs, this is human nature.

Especially in the Caizhou area, which is located in the war zone between the two countries, all food and grass supplies have been withdrawn long ago, and there are many people displaced.

King Ling adopted Cheng Ping's suggestion and wanted to use five thousand elites to disguise themselves as refugees and go deep behind enemy lines to cooperate with the frontal battlefield.

The leader of this elite army was named Han Song, who was the former general of the Sixth Army of the Ling Kingdom at that time. He was courageous and rough-looking.

The reason why he stood up so quickly was because in his opinion, this strategy was indeed good and there was not much risk. Even if he couldn't get through, the big deal would be that he would be driven back as a refugee by the Qin army.

The plan of the Ling Army was quickly put into place. After Han Song selected his soldiers, he ordered five thousand people to be broken into pieces, took off their armor, disguised themselves, and blended into the refugees.

A few days later, a certain front of the Qin Army.

A large number of refugees appeared here, all wearing commoners, pushing wooden carts, or dragging their families with them. The number was at least 10,000 or 20,000.

Due to the blockade of the war zone, people who wanted to enter the Qin territory had to cross the Qin army's front lines.

Faced with this situation, the Qin general here also didn't know what to do. Don't let them go. These people are common people. Because they have nothing to eat, they begged hard to let them go. There was no order from above.

Just when General Qin was in a dilemma, Su Yi came here to inspect.

Speaking of which, Han Song's luck was indeed a bit bad. It was not good for him to meet anyone, but he met this God of Death.

After the latter arrived, he asked about the situation and without saying a word, he directly ordered: "Shoot them all."

"Ah?" General Qin was startled, thinking there was something wrong with his ears, and stammered: "But Commander Su, these people are all unarmed common people."

"Anyone approaching the war zone will be shot to death! This is an order! Do you need to repeat it again?" Su Yi shouted coldly: "Don't forget! This is war! You are a soldier! I have not held you accountable yet!

How did these people get here! How did you do your defense!"

"Ah? This, this." General Qin's heart tightened.

"Hurry up and give the order!" Su Yi glared at him again.

"Yes, yes." General Qin swallowed hard.

Following the cold-blooded military orders, the Qin army's crossbowmen began to quickly assemble, and with strong bows and powerful crossbows, they launched a volley at the countless refugees.

The array of arrows came and came down densely.

Plop, plop!

The sound of arrows piercing flesh was one continuous sound, mixed with one after another miserable howls.

In an instant, a large area of ​​the crowd had been shot over, and the ground was littered with arrows.

At this time, no one dared to ask to cross the border. Those who survived screamed and fled in all directions.

Han Song and the five thousand spirit troops were mingling among the refugees, and their people were naturally killed by random arrows. A soldier hurriedly came over and asked tentatively: "General..."

Han Song's face was gloomy. He did not expect that the Qin Army's order was so decisive. In this situation, he could only whisper: "Retreat first and disperse back to the camp."

The plan failed, and Han Song had no choice but to go back to where he came from.

At this time, the Qin Army camp was also having a heated debate over the issue of refugees.

The next morning.

At this time, news of Su Yi's order to shoot the people had been reported, which aroused strong dissatisfaction among the literati. Wang Su was the first to say:

"I have heard that those who are unjust will have little help, but those who have gained the right will have many. If the king wants to conquer the world, he must put the people's support first. But now, General Su Yi is massacring the people. This makes the people of the world think of our Qin army."

This is before the king.

Su Yi heard this and said quickly: "Your Majesty Mingjian, our war zone is an important military area. During the war, how can refugees approach it? I cannot judge whether there are enemy troops there, so I can only give this order."

Wang Su said: "If this is the case, then the general only needs to drive away the refugees. Why massacre them?"

Su Yi looked at him and said, "Mr. Wang, sometimes a woman's kindness can spoil big things."

"How can this be the benevolence of a woman!" Wang Su said anxiously: "Now the people of the Ling Kingdom want to enter the Qin Kingdom. This just shows that the people need the protection of the Qin State. The king should be lenient and benevolent.

Treat the people well so that the world can return to its heart, and only then can you be in an invincible position forever."

Hearing this, Su Yi said coldly: "Master Wang, do you want our army to open the intersection and let all the refugees cross the front? If there are enemy troops mixed in here, who will be responsible?"

"This, this." Wang Su was a little hesitant, and after a while he said: "Then you can't massacre the people."

At this time, Shangguan Wenruo stood up and said thoughtfully: "These refugees are all fleeing from famine. In order to prevent the enemy, it is better to set up roadblocks at important intersections, conduct interrogations, and then let them pass."

"Humph, what Sir Shangguan said is ridiculous." Su Yi sneered and said, "That will cost our army so much effort. With the war ahead, how can we have time to take care of those people!"

"This..." Shangguan Wenruo didn't know what to say.

Xiao Yuan waved his hand and said: "Okay! There is no need to discuss this matter anymore! As Su Yi said, anyone who dares to approach within our military theater will be regarded as an enemy and will be killed without mercy! There is no room for any mistakes in this battle.

!”

He is not a soft-hearted or indecisive person. As a founding monarch, he is absolutely decisive in killing. Hearing this, several scholars couldn't help but look at each other, but they didn't dare to say anything else.

Su Yi saluted: "Your Majesty is wise."

Afterwards, Xiao Yuan directly ignored the matter and got to the point: "Right now, the decisive battle is imminent. Although we don't know the specific deployment of the Spirit Army, before that, we may be able to alienate the relationship between them."

"The king means..." Jia You's heart moved.

Xiao Yuan asked: "Among the generals in Ling Kingdom who are good at using troops, who is the most important?"

"Huang Zu?" Jia You said tentatively.

"No." Xiao Yuandao said: "Although Huang Zu is difficult to deal with, he is conservative and conservative. In this battle, it is of little significance. Relatively speaking, the more radical Bu Shuo is the most threatening to our army."

"But Bu Shuo has outstanding military exploits, so it may be difficult to alienate him." Wang Su continued.

"Having said that, there is no harm in writing this letter. Let's see how Lingjun reacts first." Xiao Yuan actually didn't hold out much hope.

However, Jia You became more energetic and said quietly: "I think this strategy of your Majesty is feasible and may have unexpected effects."

Before the decisive battle, if you can get rid of the opponent's important figures, it is also the key to victory.
