Happy Dragon Boat Festival everyone

"No, no"

Zhao Kuo woke up in a dream in horror, grabbed the straw beside him, opened his eyes, and saw the yellowish-colored prison roof, and he still heard the footsteps of the patrol soldiers.

“Hu…Hu…”

Zhao Kuo gasped for a long time, gradually calming down the tension in his heart. After relaxing a little, he heard a smiley voice from outside the prison gate.

"I shouted so loudly, what do you want? Could it be that I can't dream of it?"

The guard Qin Bing opened the prison door and said to Zhao Kuo meaningfully: "Come out, General Bai is generous, let's send you surrendered soldiers home and follow me quickly."

"go home"

Zhao Kuo seemed to have thought of something, and he retreated back to the bottom of the cell as if he was electrocuted, looking at the Qin soldier tremblingly.

"No, I won't go out, I won't go out"

"What's wrong with Yohe? Are you addicted to living in a prison cell and carrying him out?"

Two stout Qin soldiers strode into the cell. Without saying a word, they raised Zhao Kuo and walked out. Zhao Kuo supported the ground with his feet and tried his best to break free. But he was a scholar, so no matter how hard he struggled, his shoes fulfilled his wish and remained on the road outside the city.

Outside Shangdang County, several deep pits dozens of feet were scattered on the flat battlefield. There were a large number of surrendered soldiers standing beside each. On their periphery were the shield soldiers of Qin, and behind the shield soldiers were rows of spearmen.

The long-term hunger made the surrendered soldiers look delicious, but they sat quietly on the ground as usual, waiting for the Qin soldiers to send them tools, and then went down to dig holes. After they were waiting until noon, they could get a portion of rice soup.

The struggling Zhao Kuo was forcibly dragged away from them. The heart-wrenching scream caused the incest among the surrendered soldiers. They did not understand why their chief generals screamed so miserably. They could see clearly that the two Qin soldiers just held him and did not secretly attack him.

On a temporary high platform, Zhao Kuo was brought to Bai Qi's side. Looking at Zhao Kuo's current appearance, Bai Qi was very surprised. Didn't someone tell him that he was going to let him go? Logically, he should be happy. Why did he become like this? Did he guess what he could not have done?

"General Zhao, I can't talk to you now. As you walk over, my soldiers shouldn't be embarrassed by you."

Zhao Kuo sniffed hard, raised his hand tremblingly, pointed straight at Bai Qi with his fingers, and said, "Bai Qi, you are so cruel, do you think I can't see it? If you really want to let us go, you need to trap my Zhao soldiers on the edge of the pit. I just don't believe that you will actually kill so many people. Open your eyes and take a closer look. These surrendered soldiers are not all strong. Most of them are old people and children. They just forced them to make up for the numbers. They are not soldiers at all. How can you attack them?"

Bai Qi restrained the usual smile on his face, and for the first time he looked at the scholar in front of him. He did not expect that his plan would be seen through by a scholar. But it doesn't matter, even if he sees through it, it won't change the result at all.

"Don't you think it's a little late to say this now?"

Bai Qi snorted coldly and said, "In my eyes, there are only two types of enemies and people. Since they are wearing your Zhao Bing's clothes, they are my enemies. Do you want to pay attention to your enemies? Respecting the elderly and loving the young, so they can kill people. Either you die or I die. I want me to be kind to the enemy, hum pedantic."

Bai Qi walked to Zhao Kuo and patted his face hard, and said lightly: "If you lose your battle, you must have the awareness of defeat. If the defeated person is me, you will treat me like this."

"It won't be like this." Zhao Kuo suddenly hugged Bai Qi's thigh and begged: "You can't do this, you promised, you said you won't kill us."

Bai Qi waved his hand and asked the guards around to retreat. He grabbed Zhao Kuo's hair with one hand and asked him to raise his face to him. Bai Qi said slowly: "I said that as long as I surrender, I will not massacre the city. I did it. Therefore, the people in the city are still alive now, and I, Bai Qi, still have this reputation. But please think carefully. When did I, including my subordinates, say that I will not kill the surrendered soldiers?"

"you"

Zhao Kuo was stunned and recalled carefully what happened. The more he thought about it, his face turned paler, and finally he sat on the ground weakly.

Bai Qi was right. From the beginning, he never promised to keep the lives of Zhao soldiers. He always threatened the lives of the surrendered soldiers of Zhao army, forcing Zhao Kuo to get to the current level step by step. This is the case at the foot of Mozi Mountain and the city of Shangdang County. Bai Qi used his wrist to play with Zhao Kuo in his palm, making Zhao Kuo think that he was enduring humiliation for the sake of the overall situation, but in the end he was just deceiving himself.

"Bai Qi, you are a butcher, you will definitely die a bad death."

"Butterfighter" Bai Qi smiled coldly and said, "This nickname is appropriate. People who slaughter Bai Qi, don't worry, I won't let you die first. You will accompany me to watch the whole process. In the end, it's your turn...to take action."

"Dongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdong"

The sound of war drums suddenly sounded on the top of the city. The Qin soldiers, who were originally waiting for the battle, suddenly raised their shields and lined up in dense formations to squeeze towards the surrendered soldiers in the middle. They seemed to understand something. The surrendered soldiers who were originally sitting were in an uproar. They desperately hit the shield wall, trying to ask for a way out, but they were all connected with each other. As long as one person fell, they would implicate everyone on the rope. In addition, they had been hungry for a long time and had no strength at all. Although there were many surrendered soldiers, they were squeezed back step by step.

"No, no, no"

Zhao Bing, who was close to the edge of the pit, leaning against the ground with his feet desperately rubbing his feet to stop, but how could he be able to fight so much strength alone? Finally, his feet were empty, and Zhao Bing screamed and fell into the pit. Until this time, the people who pushed him suddenly remembered that they were tied together. Before he could react, the people on the rope fell one by one.

On the high platform, Zhao Kuo closed his eyes in pain, watching countless Zhao soldiers struggling and screaming, but fell to the bottom of the pit like dumplings. Zhao Kuo was completely desperate. Bai Qi did not joke. He wanted to wipe out all the hopes of Zhao State here to be continued.
