At the end of Qin, I became a son of the plane

Chapter 213: Knowledge must be connected with reality and contradictory directions
Xu Fan has a good temper and rarely gets angry, but it is the most terrifying thing when an honest man like this gets angry. The generals of the Han army were frightened by the current Xu Fan, and even Liu Bang, who had always been carefree, did not dare to speak at this time.

At this time, Li Shiqi stood up and said: "King Han, this matter is very difficult to solve. Even if you replace the soldiers from Guanzhong to guard these Qin troops, the hatred of the soldiers in Zhao and Qi towards the Qin army will not be reduced." , especially the soldiers of Qi. In the past three years, the Qin State has killed hundreds of thousands of Qi people in the Qi enclosure. Millions of Qi people have left their homes and fled Qi. These people are full of hatred for the Qin army and it is almost uncontrollable.

They have taken refuge with the Han to take revenge. If you want to prevent them from taking revenge, I am afraid that these soldiers will be at odds with the Han Congress. If you want Qi soldiers and Guanzhong soldiers to cooperate in fighting, I can't imagine what the consequences will be. "

When Xu Fan heard this, he patted his forehead with a tired look on his face, and Li Shiqi told the key to the problem. The world has been in chaos for hundreds of years. The Qin people used their brutality to take over all the hatred of the Warring States period for hundreds of years. Especially in recent years, in order to encourage the fighting power of Qin soldiers, the First Emperor's enclosure in Guandong has doubled. This hatred.

Xu Fan tried hard to recall the advanced experience of later generations. How did the army of later generations solve this problem? As a result, I only remembered some plots about tearing up Japanese soldiers.

Those screenwriters and directors are all rubbish. How come such critical information has never been filmed? They only film useless things like tearing apart Japanese enemies, but nothing useful is filmed at all.

Xu Fan looked at the generals and said, "Do you have such thoughts?"

Everyone looked at each other, no one dared to speak.
Xu Fan saw their concerns and said: "Today we are discussing here to solve the problem. Only by telling the truth and seeking truth from facts can we solve the problem.

Ge Ying said: "King of Han, let me tell you directly. I told you a long time ago that the officials of Qin arrested me as a prisoner because I couldn't pay enough taxes. The officials of Qin were not human beings and became prisoners. During my apprenticeship, I almost died several times.

Even now, I still hate the Qin officials and the Qin army very much. When I followed you, if the Han army had not been strictly disciplined, I would have wanted to kill all the Qin army at that time. In my opinion, neither the Qin officials nor the Qin army are good people. "

Ji Xin continued: "And in this situation, the soldiers must express their anger. The 20 Qin prisoners are the key to our victory in Guanzhong. We cannot let the soldiers vent their anger on the Qin soldiers.

Ji Xin sneered: "Now Meng Tian's Northern Xinjiang army has been wiped out by our Han army, and Guanzhong is also on our chopping board. Now it's not whether the Qin officials want to join us, but whether we want to kill them all, kill them all." The people of the world will clap their hands and scream, leaving a few Qin officials dead, that is also the kindness of our Han army."

Chen Xiao looked at Xu Fan and said, "King of Han, why don't we gather all the Qin officials who surrendered and try them for their crimes in front of 30 soldiers, and then hang them all in front of all the soldiers. In this way, the soldiers' The anger came out."

Ge Ying's words were supported by Chen Xiao, Ji Xin, Song Liu, Mei Juan and many other Han generals. They had no good impressions of Qin officials and the Qin army. Da Qin was all-round in terms of not being a good person.

The generals felt relieved when they saw Xu Fan's smile, and the atmosphere in the tent became much better.

Ji Xindao: "The situation back then was different from now. At that time, there were only a few hundred Qin officials from Guanzhong in Chen County, and even with the Guanzhong soldiers, there were no more than a thousand. Except for a few Qin officials in Chen County, most of them were our Chu people. , the soldiers were also soldiers of the Chu State. We were originally one big family, but they were forced to fight on the battlefield by the Qin officials.

Ji Xin's statement is recognized by the generals of the Han army. When they were in Chen County, they were all from the same hometown, so Xu Fan's prisoner policy and relatively strict military discipline were acceptable to both soldiers and officers. As long as normal people would not think about it, If he wants to harm his hometown, the military discipline of the Han army will be maintained later, and the soldiers who violated it will also be punished. Naturally, few soldiers dare to violate military discipline.

If such a thing really happens, it won't be a slap in the face, and after such a thing happens, no matter how good his rhetoric is, no one will believe it, and his ability as a political strategist will be useless.

Wu Sheng immediately waved his hand as if chasing away something dirty and said, "I'm from Chu. When I joined the army, I just had to make a living. I have never dealt with my own people."

Then we can only choose some officials to vent their anger, kill one hundred and eighty Qin officials in exchange for the loyalty of tens of thousands of soldiers, and exchange for the internal stability of our Han army. I think this deal can be done, but we can't Maybe they slaughtered the 20 Qin soldiers to vent their anger on the soldiers of Zhao Qi. "

Xu Fan also reluctantly held back his lips.

Li Shiqi immediately came out and said: "King Han, this must not be done. When I persuaded them to surrender, I already guaranteed their safety. King Han, you also approved it. If you go back on your word now, wouldn't you make the heroes of the world laugh at you?" , and do things that are not true to their word, who dares to seek refuge with our Han country."

Xu Dong was unconvinced and said: "We are not Qin people. Most of Sanchuan County is the territory of Zhou State. We are Zhou people, okay? If it is really what you say, Chen County is also Qin State territory, and you are also Qin people. Why don't you cut yourself and avenge yourself."

Therefore, there is not much hatred between each other, and the soldiers can figure it out. In addition, the King of Han has hanged a large number of Qin officials. At that time, everyone felt this tone in their hearts, and naturally they would no longer think about revenge. It's not like he killed his hometown and shed a river of blood. "

Xu Dong noticed that several people were looking at him and immediately said: "It's not my fault. Although we have served as Qin soldiers, we are just small soldiers. We are not much better than you. Do you think those Qin officials won't arrest us?"
"Still arresting me, why am I a soldier? Isn't it because Qin officials arrested us? If good things happen above us, we small soldiers will also get our turn. If this is really the case, Wu Sheng has also been a Qin army. Why don't you hate him?"

If a strategist wants to display his talents, he always needs to have several countries with similar strength. But now that Han has captured Guanzhong, the world will almost have seven of them. In this case, Ji Xin certainly feels that the Han army can be more domineering.

Xu Fan thought thoughtfully, saying that Li Shiqi made great contributions in this battle. He persuaded dozens of cities at once and they surrendered. Xu Fan was naturally not good at hanging people, but now it seems that this The hidden dangers of this approach are still great.

At this time, Chen Xiao suddenly realized: "General, I always feel that something is missing. It turns out that our army has not hanged a few Qin officials until now. The soldiers have not said this, so that led to the Qin Dynasty." The soldiers abused Qin prisoners on a large scale."

As soon as these words came out, Liu Bang couldn't help laughing.

Ge Ying looked at Xu Dong and said, "The things we are doing now are all the fault of you Qin people."

Other Han generals also agreed with Ji Xin's statement. On one side were the 20 Qin troops, whom the Han army still had to rely on to conquer Guanzhong, and on the other side were the Qin officials who had become useless. Purging them would only free up a lot of positions for their own people. .

Ge Ying said: "King of Han, I think Brother Ji Xin is right. The soldiers want to vent their anger. Killing one Qin official is worth ten thousand Qin troops. Throw them out and all problems will be solved. King of Han, If you think this matter is an insult to your prestige, then leave it to the general to do it. Just say that the general has a grudge against these Qin officials. After you have done it, you will punish the general. No one can say anything. And in this situation, you can only Sacrifice these Qin officials, if that's not enough, throw some Qin officers out, the soldiers will have to give this tone, and the future will bear the burden of the infamy."

Xu Fan said angrily: "You think you can deceive the world, but you are just deceiving yourself and others."

This is like Zhu Yuanzhang killing King Ming. Regardless of whether he gave the order, if something like this happens, people all over the world will think that he did it.

When Cao Cao killed Xu You, who would think that this was Xu Chu's act alone?
Xu Fandao said, "If you don't have the right to investigate, you have no right to speak. This matter is not urgent. We have to investigate before making a decision."

Xu Fan looked around the generals and said: "We must have a consensus here. These 20 Qin Army prisoners of war are to be absorbed into the Han Army. These people are the key to our victory in Guanzhong, so the abuse of prisoners cannot continue. .”

Deng Zong was the first to assure Xu Fan: "I have been living in a prisoner-of-war camp during this period. If this problem occurs again, King Han, you will chop off my head."

Xu Fan said angrily: "Can cutting off your head solve the problem?"

"The key is to convince the land of Qi and Zhao that they no longer hate the Qin soldiers. We are all common people at the bottom. They are also oppressed by the First Emperor and Qin officials. We are all common people, so we should stop bullying each other and hate each other." Target the real enemy."

After saying this, an idea flashed in Xu Fan's mind. Faced with the current situation, he finally understood why class struggle is so easy to grasp. Yes, why do we always have to worry about the identity of Qi people and Qin people? We all have another identity, a commoner with no money and power, a poor person with a bare family.

Ordinary people will be led astray by the powerful nobles. The Qin people hate the Zhao people, and the Qi people hate the Qin people.

And because of their status, most of the objects of their hatred are of the same class as themselves, and those upper-class noble officials can look down on the common people in the world like gods and kill each other.

But why not direct our hatred towards the powerful nobles and those who oppress us?
During World War I, there were still many patriots in the major powers, but when they discovered that they were just sent to the slaughterhouse like domestic pigs, the nobles could make a fortune in the rear. Then these soldiers woke up and knew Who should the guns be aimed at? They will in turn massacre all the powerful people in their own country.

Sure enough, a lot of knowledge is difficult to understand just from books, but when used in practice, you can suddenly realize it and see clearly the black hand hidden behind all this.

Xu Fan continued, "The hundreds of years of chaos and hatred in the Warring States Period cannot continue. Our Han army was established to stop this hatred. If we continue like this, you kill me and I kill you. Even if the tyrant is destroyed, the world will be the same." We will be in turmoil and everything we do today will be useless."

The Han generals nodded. They still understood this. Forget about killing with guns and horses on the battlefield. Massacre of captured soldiers on a large scale was something that not many generals were willing to do these days. Killing prisoners was an ominous thing. It is recorded in history that almost every general who did this did not end well.

The generals of the Han army do not lack this political quality. Everyone understands that the Han army can develop and become elite, and absorbing the prisoners of the Qin army is an important reason. Now the Qin and Han armies are completely in a situation where you are among me, and you are among me. Kill Qin. Taking military prisoners is equivalent to cutting the Han army himself with a knife.

Xu Fan felt relieved when he saw that the generals of the Han army could understand this. He was also worried that some generals could not figure this out.

Xu Fan continued: "After half a hundred miles, Guanzhong has not yet been conquered. At this time, the Qin Dynasty is still our most powerful enemy. If we can't handle this matter well, without the support of the people in Guanzhong, our Han army will be in trouble." If it is difficult to conquer Xianyang City, the world is destined to be in chaos again."

"Don't worry, King Han, we still know this." Ge Ying assured Xu Fan.

The senior generals of the Han army had some status. Even if they were oppressed by Qin officials, they would not be as miserable as the people of Qi. Therefore, although they have hatred against the Qin officials, it is not that high. They think that this hatred can be tolerated for the glory and wealth they want to get.

Xu Fan looked at Deng Zong and Chen Xiao and said: "From today on, soldiers are strictly prohibited from harassing and insulting the prisoners of the Qin army. At the same time, in addition to marching, our army will focus on learning the military rules and regulations of the Han army, especially the 11 Articles Military regulations must be memorized by every soldier and kept in mind."

Deng Zong, Chen Xiao bowed their hands to Xu Fan and said, "The general will never disappoint the King of Han."

Xu Fan looked at the generals again: "You must also help each battalion supervise the army. You must make the soldiers deeply aware of the importance of this violation of discipline. This is destroying the foundation of our Han army. Without the military regulations of the Han army, The foundation of military discipline, our Han army is not worthy of being called the army of benevolence and righteousness, the army of kings. No matter how strong our army is, it will be just another violent Qin army. The Han country will become a new violent Qin and lose its ideals. Then the world we have fought so hard to conquer will be meaningless."

Ge Ying and other generals bowed their hands and said, "You will finally understand."

Xu Fan waved his hand and said: "Get out!"

The Chinese army's tent was empty. Xu Fan thought about the hatred between Qi and Qin for a long time, and finally sighed: "This breath will eventually come out. Fortunately, I finally found a way for the soldiers to take revenge."

At the same time, Xu Fan also blamed himself a little. He didn't know that such a large-scale disciplinary violation occurred only ten miles away from him, and he still needed Xu Dong to report to him. After becoming the King of Han, he was a little out of touch with the grassroots. Even the matter before him He couldn't even see it, and Xu Fan simply couldn't imagine what the Han army would do hundreds or even thousands of miles away.

"It is better to find someone to help handle military affairs, so that we can have time to work at the grassroots level." After Zhang Liang left, there was no one he could trust to join the army. Xu Fan originally wanted to transfer Zhang Liang back, but thought of Yan Di's The matter was also very important, and he was not worried if it was left to Lu Chen alone.

Seeing the letters on his desk, and thinking about the counselors in the Han Dynasty, Xu Fan decided to transfer Chen Ping to his account after going to Sanchuan County to help him with military affairs, so that he could have more time to work with him. Grassroots movement.

Xu Fan picked up a letter, which was sent by Chen Jun Zhou Zhang.

"Ji Bu wants to attack the land of Bashu?"

After reading Zhou Zhang's letter, Xu Fan understood the whole story. The Han army fought hard all the way to the Northern Expedition, especially Yingbu, who won two great victories in a row. However, Ji Bu and Qianzhong County had no fighting at all because of Zhao Tuo's mutiny. Ji Bu was now a little anxious.

Xu Fan understood what Ji Bu was thinking. He had always been the general of the Han army, and Xu Fan trusted him the most. But now all the generals of the Han army had made contributions, but he had not done so. Ji Bu should not be called the number one general of the Han army. , it would be difficult to rank among the top five, and Ji Bu would be embarrassed when facing other teammates.

"Indeed, we want Ji Bu to establish his achievements." He looked at the map and said: "Instead of attacking Shuzhong, it is better to attack Guanzhong with force."

After thinking about it, Xu Fan ordered Ji Bu to lead the army to attack Guanzhong, and asked Zhou Zhang to support Ji Bu's action. Regarding the attack on Guanzhong, Xu Fan planned to complete his victory and completely destroy the Qin State.

After all, history has become what it is now. Who knows whether Qin II will still behave as randomly as in history. (There is a saying that Zhao Gao tricked Hu Hai into killing all his brothers because he also wanted to be the emperor, because Zhao Gao was also a descendant of the Qin family.)
The words were divided into two parts, and the generals left the Chinese army's tent as if they had been granted amnesty, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Xiao said with lingering fear: "This is the first time I have seen the King of Han lose such a temper. It scared me to death."

Deng Zong complained to Peng Yue: "I originally wanted to give you a chance to perform, but this happened."

Peng Yue apologized: "I didn't expect it to be like this. The hatred between Qin and Qi is too deep now, and I can't control these soldiers. Instead, the general will be implicated."

Deng Zong shook his head and said: "Forget it, after all, I didn't do it well. I didn't think about it deeply. I actually let Qi soldiers guard Qin prisoners. Now I want to scold myself."

Moreover, I, the military supervisor, did not notice immediately that soldiers violated military rules and disciplines on such a large scale. It is not surprising that the King of Han was so angry. After all, it was me who was slacking off. "

Deng Zong understood that if only soldiers of Qi nationality abused prisoners, the King of Han would not be so angry. If the Chinese soldiers had not reported to the King of Han, this matter would not have been known so quickly. This was the reason why the King of Han was most angry.

Ji Xin smiled bitterly and said, "What kind of thing is this? There was originally a great victory, the First Emperor also passed away, and everything was going in a good direction, but this happened."

Liu Bang said with relief: "Good things come in many ways. This little thing is better than a big problem when we enter Guanzhong. From this aspect, we now find that we can solve this problem earlier."
