General Qin.

Chapter 159

handsome man.

This was Zhao Tuo's first impression of Chen Ping.

The clothes on Chen Ping's body had become dirty during the march, and there were even scratches and holes in many places, but they still couldn't hide his tall and straight figure and handsome face.

It can be said that the face is like a crown jade, and the appearance is extraordinary, making people feel good at first sight.

"Chen Ping, I pay my respects to the general. Congratulations to the general for defeating the Wei army at the foot of Xingyang city and capturing Wei's prince Bao alive. After this battle, the general's reputation will surely be passed on to the world."

Chen Ping bowed down with a humble demeanor, and even congratulated him.

This guy is really scheming.

Zhao Tuo narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the man in front of him.

The meaning of Chen Ping's words is not simple. In addition to congratulations, he also specially emphasized the capture of Wei Bao alive, which is actually implying credit.

After all, Zhao Tuo would not have captured Wei Bao so easily if they hadn't betrayed him.

his meaning……

"Ben will understand your thoughts. Since I let Zhang Zhong follow, I have the intention of keeping you guys alive, and I won't do anything to these 1000 people later."

Hearing this, Chen Ping breathed a sigh of relief.

The reason why he hinted at Wei Bao's contribution just now was not because he wanted to take credit for it, but because he hoped that General Qin in front of him would let the 1000 of them survive for the sake of capturing Wei Bao alive.

The scene of Qin Jun beheading and piling up the mountain of heads just now scared Chen Ping enough.Especially those Qin soldiers who were guarding them all stared at them with red eyes, talking to each other and saying that it would be great if all these 1000 people were cut off.

Chen Ping was really afraid that the Qin army would kill prisoners for military merit.

He could only hint boldly, but he didn't expect that General Qin in front of him didn't look as old as himself, but he was very smart, and he understood what he meant in an instant.

No wonder he was able to be the chief general of a thousand-man Qin army at such an age.

The alertness of this person's mind is by no means inferior to mine.

Thinking of this, Chen Ping became more and more jealous of the young General Qin in front of him.

He kowtowed and said: "Chen Ping, on behalf of a thousand households, I would like to thank the general for his mercy."

Zhao Tuo said indifferently: "No need to do that. I spared my life because you didn't resist. Although I didn't kill you, but I followed the Wei army here and wanted to attack my land in Xingyang. I'm afraid these 1000 people will inevitably be demoted as ministers. "

"what?"

Chen Ping opened his mouth wide.

But he immediately thought of the strict laws of Qin, and once he broke the law, he would be imprisoned at every turn, let alone "enemy troops" like them.

When encountering the Qin army on the battlefield, there are generally only two endings.

One was beheaded on the spot and became a member of the Human Head Mountain.

The other is to become a slave and contribute to various construction projects of the Qin Empire.

There is hardly a third option.

Thinking of this, Chen Ping was full of bitterness.

Wei Bao wants to take revenge on Zhang because of Zhang's surrender to the Qin army.In order to help the Zhang family quell the disaster, Chen Ping suggested that the Zhang family send out child servants and recruit a thousand villagers for the Wei army. This made Wei Bao happy and let the Zhang family go.

Chen Ping knew that the state of Wei would be destroyed, and there was no way out for Wei Bao, so he planned his retreat early on.

For example, if the Qin army hadn't appeared just now, Chen Ping would try to coax Wei Bao into giving up Zhoushi, use it as bait to attract the Qin army, and then take the 1000 people to "strategic retreat".

After escaping from the battlefield, Chen Ping could calmly command his servants and villagers to capture Wei Bao alive, and then send people to ask for credit and surrender to the Qin army for negotiation.In this way, the treatment is different from that of captured soldiers on the battlefield, and there is a high probability that everyone will return home alive.

But now, with the appearance of this Qin army, everything has changed.They directly became captives on the battlefield and lost the qualification to negotiate.

A total of 1000 people will be moved from this land by the Qin people, be demoted as slaves, and will not be able to reunite with their families for life.

Thinking of this, Chen Ping, who still has a conscience, blamed himself very much.

Although he has selfishness in doing things, he is not a heartless person, and he already has regrets in his heart.

Looking at Chen Ping in front of him, his face was pale and uneasy.

Zhao Tuo knew that the time was almost up.

He said lightly: "However, this matter is not without room for change. I also have a way to make them exempt from being ministers."

Hearing this, Chen Ping suddenly raised his head and stared at the young General Qin in front of him.

He only felt that his heart was going up and down, being tightly controlled by the other party.

It's a feeling I've never felt before.

Chen Ping looked at Zhao Tuo expectantly, and begged, "Please save me, General."

Zhao Tuo didn't agree right away, but said, "Go ahead and help Zhang Zhong appease those people in Hudang Township. This matter has its own plan."

"only."

Chen Ping took a deep look at the young man in front of him, and kept his appearance in his heart.

After bowing down again and bowing respectfully, Chen Ping went out.

Seeing the other party leave, Zhao Tuo showed a smile on his face.

Although this Chen Ping was quite scheming, but after all, he was still young, he had not grown up, and was far from reaching the level of "six tricks to secure the world" in history, so Zhao Tuo was able to tease him on this matter.

However, he did not lie to deceive Chen Ping, Zhao Tuo did have a way to save these thousands of people.

Because these 1000 people have never attacked the Qin army on the battlefield, and they are all unarmored villagers, they can be classified as the logistics of the Wei army.

Soldiers and civil servants are treated differently.

Moreover, they also presented Wei Bao, and captured a young master of Wei Guo alive, which was enough to make the upper echelon of the Qin army happy, so they let the 1000 people go.

As for the Qin soldiers at the bottom, before the nearly [-] heads of the Wei army, they had already made a lot of money, and there would be no complaints.

"After this incident, I think Chen Ping will definitely remember me here."

Zhao Tuo secretly said in his heart.

However, he didn't think much about it, because the war had just ended, and he still had a lot of things to deal with.

For example, to meet two other allies.

The first ones to arrive were the generals of the Qin Army who had come out of Xingyang City to support them.

This Qin army came out of the city at a very good time. When it came out, it encountered the collapse of the Wei army.

From top to bottom, the whole army was full of smiles.

Therefore, when Zhao Tuo saw General Qin who was leading the army, he was all smiles and his eyes narrowed.

This is a middle-aged man with a full beard, thick beard and hair, very mighty, looks like a fierce general.

When the other party saw Zhao Tuo, he was also taken aback.

"You child is the leader of this army?"

General Qin was surprised. After all, Zhao Tuo was really too young, and it was impossible for people to associate this young man with the commander of a thousand-strong Qin army.

Zhao Tuo has long been used to this expression, smiled and cupped his hands and said, "My servant is Zhao Tuo."

Seeing Zhao Tuo bowing his hand, the Qin general did not dare to neglect, and stretched out his hand in return.

"I am Ren Xiao."
