Qin army camp, central army tent.

Wang Ling, Meng Ao, Huan Qiong, Qin Yiren, Wang Jian, Huang Shigong, Wei Liao and a group of generals were present, all of whom were frowning tightly, looking unhappy.

This time, Wang Ling and the others were unable to capture Handan. With the help of Qin Yiren, they attacked the city in one fell swoop. Seeing that Handan was about to be destroyed and Zhao was about to be destroyed. However, a sudden change occurred. Under the leadership of Lian Po, the Zhao people came to fight against the Qin army. The Qin army did not want to kill a lot, so they had to tolerate again and again. In the end, they had to reach a ceasefire agreement and not attack for the time being.

Victory is right in front of you, but the Qin army was ruthless and could not massacre so many Zhao people. They had to deal with it like this. Who would be willing to do it? Who would be unhappy?

"Wang Jian has made contributions and will be promoted to the commander of thousands of men." Wang Ling was silent for a while, and finally broke the silence.

Although Wang Jian is the future god of war and the main general to wipe out the six kingdoms in the future, he is the rising star of the Qin army and is still in the growth stage.

"Congratulations! Congratulations!"

Wang Jian's performance was remarkable this time. Wang Jian was promoted to the commander of thousands of men, and no one objected. Everyone congratulated Wang Jian in unison.

"Thank you General!" Wang Jian was also happy and was busy thanking him.

After Wang Jian's promotion was completed, Wang Ling's brow frowned again, and he remained silent.

He didn't speak, so the generals naturally couldn't speak, and they all pursed their lips tightly and were still sulking.

For a moment, there was silence in the central army's tent, and the atmosphere was depressing, making people feel uncomfortable.

"Tell me, what should we do now?" Wang Ling broke the silence again and asked loudly, his eyes widening, scanning the generals.

"Hmph!" Huan Qi snorted coldly, like a thunderous explosion, and said with hatred: "You can't fight, you can't kill, you can't kill, you can't kill, you can't kill, you can't be frustrated!"

"It's so frustrating!" This statement was immediately approved by the generals and agreed in unison.

"I have never been so frustrated after fighting for a lifetime!" Meng Ao was extremely upset and said, "It's not that we are not as strong as we can't fight, but that we can't kill at all! I've seen so many storms and waves, so I haven't been so frustrated like this!"

"Yeah!" The generals focused on the key points again, and they agreed with it.

When the Qin army attacked the city, it only took another battle to capture Handan. It didn't take long. At most, the battle could be ended in one or two days, fully controlled Handan, and destroyed the Zhao State. However, the Zhao people refused to surrender and would rather die than surrender, and would stand the way forward of the Qin army. This made the Qin army tie their hands and feet. They were so angry that they had to endure itchy.

"The war has been like this, and no matter how angry it is, it is useless. You should report this to the King of Qin." Qin Yiren shook his head.

He was also unhappy, but he knew very well that no matter how unhappy it was, it was useless and he should face the reality.

"Report to the Lord? Uh!" Wang Ling's mouth grinded his teeth, and the following words were gone.

Meng Ao and Huan Qi looked at each other, pursed their lips tightly, and stopped talking.

Because they knew better than anyone else why this battle occurred. According to Bai Qi's intention, Qin State could not attack Zhao at the moment, so he should make other plans. However, King Zhao of Qin was overwhelmed with confidence and insisted on attacking Zhao, so he almost killed Bai Qi. If the situation in Handan was reported, no one could tell what King Zhao of Qin thought.

However, it is very likely that King Zhao of Qin would blame them.

It only takes one or two days to take down Handan, why don’t you attack? Why do you have to cease the war? You are disobeying the king’s order and you are guilty.

Wang Ling, Meng Ao and Huan Qi seemed to have seen the mouths of King Zhao of Qin, and were scolding them angrily.

"It's okay if you don't report this matter." Qin Yiren looked at Wang Ling.

"Hey!" Wang Ling knew that Qin Yiren was right. It would be impossible not to report this matter. The question is, how should we report it?

To be honest, it will definitely bring disaster. At this time, King Zhao of Qin has entered his old age. He is no longer as smart as before, and has been constantly making tricks. It is common for him to blame others.

If you don’t say it directly, what can you say?

It really stumped Wang Ling.

"In my opinion, the young master of Yi Ren should write this memorial." Meng Ao's eyes flashed and he immediately had an idea.

"Me?" Qin Yiren was a little surprised. I was just staying in the army temporarily and didn't even have a military post. How could I write again?

"That's right, you have to ask the young master to write." Wang Ling immediately reacted, with a smile on his face, and said, "Young Master Yi Ren, you are the number one scholar in the world. If you don't write such literary and artistic matters, who will write?"

"That's right, we are all military men. We didn't ask about it when we were in war. We were not good at writing and writing. Young Master, don't refuse." Huan Qi immediately agreed.

It is absolutely fine to ask them to fight. It is really difficult for them to write memorials.

"If the young master doesn't write, who will write it? Who said that the young master is the number one scholar in the world?" The generals agreed in unison.

Qin Yiren was very angry, they were really good at giving up.

"Okay, this matter is not that difficult to write. Just clarify three reasons." Qin Yiren thought about it and had an idea.

"Which three?" Wang Ling asked hurriedly, his eyes staring at Qin Yiren like copper bells.

Meng Ao, Huan Qiong and the generals were all like this. As they thought, this memorial was difficult to write, but Qin Yiren thought it was not difficult to write, and there were three reasons, so they had to be surprised.

"The first reason is that the Zhao people are also from the Chinese lineage. Even if they are Qin and Zhao, they cannot kill them in large numbers." Qin Yiren raised his eyebrows, like a sharp sword unsheathed, and said in a high voice: "If we kill Zhao people in large numbers, it is a crime! We are executioners, butchers, and demons, and will be scolded by future generations!"

"That's right!" A voice of echoes sounded, and the generals agreed in unison.

It is precisely because the Zhao people are from the Chinese lineage that the Qin army tied their hands and feet, and repeatedly tolerated them and could not kill them. If the Qin army was not facing the Zhao people, but foreign races, such as the Xiongnu and the Donghu, let alone the tens of thousands of elderly, weak women and children, only hundreds of thousands or millions of them, the Qin army would be able to kill them.

The problem is that this is the Zhao people, a lineage of China, and the Qin army is not allowed to start a massacre.

"When the young master defeated the Xiongnu's The Eagle's Eagle in the Colosseum, he said that whether it is Qin, Zhao, Han, Wei, Chu, Qi, or Yan, they are all from the Chinese lineage, and they are all brothers!" Huang Shi Gong emphasized the point and said, "Young Master's words are extremely true!"

"Okay! Cai!" Wang Ling and the others shouted loudly.

Although Qin and Zhao died of hatred and had been killed for decades, Wang Ling and others still recognized that Zhao was from the Chinese lineage and brothers. If they encountered foreign invasion, Qin would stand on the side of Zhao without hesitation.

When King Wuling of Zhao defeated the Huns, King Zhao of Qin ordered the end of the Qin army's military attack on Zhao, but also ordered the Qin army in Jiuyuan to prepare to reinforce the Zhao army because they were all from the Chinese lineage and brothers.

"The second reason, do you know how many people there are in Handan City?" Qin Yiren glanced at the generals and asked loudly.

"Hundreds of thousands." Huan Qi said with a quick heart and blurted out.

"Hundreds of thousands are too vague. Two hundred thousand is also called hundreds of thousands, three hundred thousand is also called hundreds of thousands, and four hundred thousand can still be called hundreds of thousands." Qin Yiren shook his head slightly and said, "Handan is the capital of Zhao State, and it is the core area of ​​Shandong. Its population is no less than 500,000."

A city has a population of 500,000. Although there were not many in the Warring States Period, there were still a few, such as Xianyang, Handan, and Linzi.

"Apart from other countries, there are more than 400,000 people in Handan alone." Qin Yiren frowned, his face turned solemn, and said in a deep voice: "Most of the strong Zhao State died in Changping, and the Zhao people in Handan are elderly, weak, women and children. Touch your hearts and ask your hearts, you are cruel and can kill all the more than 400,000 people in Zhao?"

Wang Ling and the others sighed, without saying anything, with a look of depression.

They were all powerful generals who fought on the battlefield. They killed everyone on the battlefield, and there were no thousand or eight hundred heads cut off. To them, killing people was like cutting grass. However, facing the unarmed Zhao people, they were unable to bear the heart and had to give in again and again, and finally formed such a stalemate.

"With the strong and fierceness of the Zhao people, if the Qin Dynasty wants to capture Handan, at least 300,000 people will be killed. Ask yourself your heart, if this is the case, can you sleep? Can your conscience be at ease?" Qin Yiren asked loudly.

Wang Ling and the others shook their heads fiercely, although they did not speak, their intentions were clear.

It is impossible for them to kill them to massacre 300,000 people. That is not something that humans can do. Only demons can do such things.

"The third reason is even more important." Qin Yiren's tone was higher and slightly sharp, saying: "Changping killed 200,000 Zhao soldiers, and the world was terrified. Shandong Province called Qin a tiger and wolf, cruel and unkind, and the name of tiger and wolf in the Great Qin was even more intense!"

"Hey!" Wang Ling, Meng Ao and Huan Qi were personally involved in the Changping killing and surrendering. Although he knew that he had to kill him, he was still frightened when he thought about it.

"If we massacre 300,000 unarmed elderly, weak, women and children in Handan, the saliva of the world will drown us!" Qin Yiren's tone became even higher, sharp and sharp: "If that is the case, the Qin Dynasty will lose the hearts of the people, and the people in the world will scold the Qin Dynasty for being cruel and unkind. If the Qin Dynasty wants to unify the world, it will be difficult!"

Wang Ling and the others focused on the key points and agreed with this.

Although Changping kills surrender is uncomfortable, it can comfort itself. That is the elite of Zhao State. If you cannot stop killing, there will be endless troubles.

The Zhao people in Handan are unarmed and are mostly elderly, weak, women and children. If they are killed completely, this is not something that people can do. It is a devilish behavior and no one will forgive themselves.

"If this is the case, even if we conquer Handan and destroy Zhao, what would they think of the remaining Five Warring States Period?" Qin Yiren said in a deep voice: "Hans, Weis, Qis, Chus, and Yans, they will definitely resist to the end and rather die than surrender!"

If the Zhao people in Handan were massacred, it would definitely be such a consequence and would not have any other ending. In that case, the Qin Dynasty's road to unification would be extremely difficult, with heavy casualties.

"What the young master said is incisive and thorough!" Wang Ling praised loudly and said, "Just as the young master said, I will immediately report to the emperor."

"What the young master said is so convincing. I think I can definitely convince you." Meng Ao highly praised.

"We cannot just report this to the King of Qin, but also send one to the Prime Minister, so that the Prime Minister can deal with it more."
