Chapter 165 Bai Qi's Choice

The eyes of all civil and military officials are full of sarcasm, so what if it is a general who is invincible on the battlefield?If King Qin Zhao's big pot is withheld, wouldn't you have to become an existence that has been cast aside by countless people for thousands of years?

The officials silently learned lessons from Bai Qi, and the generals also suddenly realized at this moment that it is good to be mediocre. No wonder the ancients said that being mediocre is a blessing.

No one dared to speak up for Bai Qi, and not all of them admired Bai Qi in their hearts, and part of them were jealous. A capable person would be envied wherever he went, especially Bai Qi.

Under his brilliance, all the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty were eclipsed, how could they really be reconciled?

Bai Qi is indeed their god of war, but at the same time he is also a huge rock blocking their way forward. For various reasons, no one among the civil and military officials stood up to say a good word for Bai Qi.

In the end, Bai Qi staggered out of the hall, his body was a little unsteady, and he was still struggling in his mind when he returned to the camp, but he knew that King Qin Zhao's order had been issued, and he had to obediently obey it no matter how reluctant he was.

"Why does the general look so haggard?" Several officials guarding Bai Qi saw that there was something wrong with Bai Qi's face, and even Jia Yong, who was more nervous, noticed that the atmosphere in the tent was extremely dignified.

Bai Qi let out a foul breath and said, "What do you think these 40 people should do?"

Jia Yong was very puzzled: "General, didn't we discuss before to use these people to exchange resources with Zhao Guo? Did something happen?"

"En." Bai Qi nodded in acquiescence, his expression still a little dazed.

"Zhao Guo is unwilling to send people over to exchange prisoners of war. Now these people are a mess in our hands."

"what? What?!"

Several of Bai Qi's subordinates turned pale with shock, how dare King Zhao do this? !

Among them, Jia Yong is the most angry. He is a general, but he doesn't have a big airs. He often hangs out with soldiers. I really feel that those are also living people, people with flesh and blood just like them.

Jia Yong clenched his fists, his eyes filled with anger: "How can King Zhao ignore the lives of these 40 people?! Is he still human?!"

Bai Qi knew that the source of the adjutant's anger was not only Jia Yong, but even the murderous him, he didn't want to see these 40 people die.

How many are 40 people?Bai Qi only knew that he couldn't see the end at a glance. If these people stood up and let him be killed, he might not be able to kill them in his life, and he would be driven crazy in the end.

During this period, the population of the Six Kingdoms was sparsely populated. Among them, the most powerful Qin Kingdom barely reached about 400 million people after a long period of recuperation. The population of Yan Kingdom, the weakest of the Six Kingdoms, was just over one million. In a small country, there are only hundreds of thousands or even tens of thousands of people in the whole country.

If he really made up his mind to deal with these prisoners of war, it would be equivalent to slaughtering the population of several small countries. Even the heavens would not let him off if he did such an outrageous thing.

An official saw through Zhao Wang's tricks and said: "Zhao Wang is also helpless. Once he takes out resources to exchange these prisoners of war, Zhao State will not be far from being destroyed."

"But if he does this, isn't he afraid of retribution?!" Jia Yong's rough nails have dug into his flesh, and a few streaks of bright red blood dripped from his palm. It will definitely collapse directly.

"General, don't we have any other options?" Jia Yong gritted his teeth and asked.

Bai Qi shook his head, Jia Yong still did not give up, and continued: "Is it okay to take them as slaves?"

Bai Qi was silent, Jia Yong continued: "Then let them go back? These people were abandoned by King Zhao, and they must have resentment towards King Zhao in their hearts. Sending them back will definitely cause chaos in the country of Zhao, and they will not attack themselves from the inside. break."

Bai Qi remained silent, an official pulled the corner of Raja Yong's clothes, pointed to the sky, and whispered: "Some people don't want to see changes, these people may be subdued by King Zhao again when they are released, wait for them Once we go back, the truth depends on King Zhao's mouth, and he can completely describe this as another Qin conspiracy."

"We defeated their main army, and now Zhao Guo has become a turtle in the urn. At this time, too many uncontrollable factors have been put in, and Zhao Guo is likely to use this to make a comeback. Those people above are also worried about this, so they will come out. The worst policy."

The official did not directly identify who gave the order. They all knew it very well, but they all tacitly kept silent.

The decisions made by King Qin Zhao are not something that these little courtiers can question.

There was only one stunned Qing Jiayong in the field who refused to admit defeat, and then asked: "General, is there really nothing we can do? It's not okay to use these people as the vanguard of Zhao's attack? At least we can keep them here." A chance for life."

The official who pulled Jia Yong's sleeve also knew Jia Yong's stubborn temper, and as long as he got serious, nine bulls would not be able to pull him back.

However, this time is completely different from before! !This time it was the sovereign monarch who gave the order. How could these ministers resist the will of the king?
"It's useless. The number of 40 people is too large. It is also a huge variable on the battlefield. The chance of defection is quite high. If you can't get them, the only way to avoid rebellion is to deal with all these prisoners of war. , Zhao Guo will be broken in just around the corner."

Bai Qi's voice was extraordinarily cold. They were used to Bai Qi's indifference, but today, they felt an extreme chill from Bai Qi's tone.

Deciding the life and death of these 40 people with a blank face, is their general really hard-hearted?

Several officials felt chills down their spines. They knew who the instigator of all this was, and they also knew that Bai Qi was only pushed out by that person to take the blame, but this was not the reason why they could face Bai Qi calmly.

They did kill many people with General Bai Qi before, but those were all killed on the battlefield. Killing prisoners is also a taboo among the Six Nations, an extremely shameless practice.

Today, the general can massacre 40 people without expression. When they fall into the hands of the enemy, can the general also abandon them without hesitation?
"Is there really no other way?!" Lieutenant Jia Yong knelt on the ground and cried. He also has family members, and he also has concerns, so he can better understand the meaning of the 40 people.

Bai Qi didn't stand up to answer Jia Yong's words, and Bai Qi felt a throbbing in his heart, but he was suppressed by him immediately. If there is really a better choice, how could he choose this step?
The lives of 40 people are in his hands, and the cheapness of life is fully reflected at this moment.
