Inside the military camp outside Puzi City, Su Mo couldn't help but smile on his face as more and more Qin people brought their families to join him.

In the war years, the most important things were population and food. With these two things, a large-scale army could be formed, and even land seemed less important than it was.

Zhao Jia adopted Fan Zeng's strategy of attacking the heart. Not only did he not take advantage of the situation in the crisis of Qin, but he waited until the Qin plague was controlled and distributed food on the Qin and Zhao border.

Zhao Jia did this not because the Virgin Mary was overwhelmed. She wanted to save the victims of Qin, but to lure the Qin people into Zhao Er.

In the face of hunger, there are not many people in Qin who can block the temptation of food.

Faced with the harsh Qin law, the Qin people ate the food distributed by the Zhao army. In order to avoid being liquidated in the future, many people fled into the Zhao territory with their families.

Su Mo was not worried that these Qin people who brought their families to join us in the future because of Qin Ru's strictness towards the traitors.

In history, Fan Yuqi turned against Qin and Yan, and Qin Shihuang was determined to kill him, which led to the allusion of Jing Ke's attempt to assassinate Fan Yuqi's head, which was close to the allusion of trying to assassinate the King of Qin.

Even the famous rebel general like Fan Yuqi was not tolerated by Qin State, let alone ordinary people.

Some people may say that the law does not punish the masses.

Unfortunately, in a country like Qin with strict laws, there is no such thing as not being held responsible for the law.

One person breaks the law and kills one person; ten people breaks the law and kills ten people; a hundred people breaks the law and kills a hundred people; a thousand people breaks the law and kills a thousand people.

In Qin State, merit is merit, and faults are faults, and merits and demerits cannot be offset.

Not only will one be punished for violating the law, but even refusing rewards will be punished. It is this harsh and inhumane Qin law that transformed Qin from a weak country to the most powerful vassal state in the late Warring States Period.

The Qin people's awe of Qin's laws were deeply rooted in people's hearts, and under the pressure of survival, they had to ask for food from the Zhao people. However, it was this harsh law that cut off the desire of these Qin people to return to Qin.

"General, something big is not good!"

At this moment, Su Mo heard a hurrying voice.

"What's the matter?"

The general who spoke panted and replied: "When the Xiaguan was deploying defense at the intersection, he encountered several Qin people with panic expressions, so he stopped them."

"According to the confession of these people, they encountered a dying black-faced man on the roadside while fleeing to Puzi. Before their death, the black-faced man handed the jade bottle to everyone and informed them that Qin State sent dead soldiers to bring the source of the plague into Zhao, hoping to spread the plague in Zhao State!"

When Su Mo heard this, his face was horrified and hurriedly shouted: "Sound the Qin people to come and ask questions!"

Soon, several ragged Qin people were brought over. Su Mo asked immediately without waiting for them to salute, "Who is the black-faced man you meet? Why do you know the strategy of Qin to spread the plague?"

The head Qin Min replied, "According to the man's words, he was originally a disciple of Qin Prime Minister Lu Buwei, and was deeply favored by Qin Prime Minister, so he was trained to become a dead soldier and sent to carry out this mission."

"However, this person thinks that spreading the plague will hurt the heavens. He is a little hesitant, but he never thought that it will attract murderous fire and be plotted against by his leader."

Su Mo soon noticed the loophole and continued to ask: "Since those people are dead soldiers, their methods must be extremely ruthless. How could they leave a black-faced man in one breath and ask him to reveal the news to you and others?"

The Qin people replied, "The general doesn't know anything. At that time, we heard the quarrels and followed closely, which just alarmed the dead soldiers."

"What the dead man did was hard to show, so he naturally did not want to cause trouble. Then he slashed the black-faced man and left in a hurry without even having time to search the porcelain bottle."

"Fortunately, the black-faced man's heart was on the right side, and although he still couldn't save him, the sword stabbed the left heart and did not take his life as soon as possible."

When Su Mo heard this, he suddenly realized.

He first carefully took the porcelain bottle and called the military doctor for examination, and then began to mobilize people and prepare to pull out all the dead soldiers.

"Tait!"

The war horses gallop and the flags flutter.

A tense and solemn atmosphere came to my face. Even the Qin refugees who didn't know the inside story felt that something was wrong at this time.

Some Qin Min saw something wrong and whispered: "Why do these Zhao people cover their mouths and noses with facial towels?"

Those Qin people who survived the plague, their faces changed drastically when they heard this, and they said in a lost voice: "Is there a plague here?"

One stone stirs up a thousand waves.

These Qin people had just emerged from drought, famine, and plague, but were still frightened birds. They were simply shy of fear when they heard about the plague.

"All people who come from Qin will gather to the schoolyard. They are not allowed to walk around at will, and they are not allowed to whisper. Those who violate the order will be killed without mercy!"

The following orders scared the Qin people to the point of being scattered. Many people were worried that if they and others would be massacred by the Zhao people when they were gathered.

Qin State can do a lot of this kind of thing, and the Battle of Changping was the best interpretation.

They were determined to resist, but the entire military camp was surrounded by crossbowmen in Zhao State. If the Zhao army was determined to massacre, these Qin people could not even rush to Zhao's side and were shot to death.

In the midst of doubt, fear and anxiety, the people of Qin could only grit their teeth and gather at the center of the schoolyard.

During the whole process, the Zhao army with facial scarves always kept a sufficient distance from them, and the weapons and crossbows in their hands were never put down.

Not long after, thousands of Qin people were gathered in the center of the schoolyard, surrounded by soldiers from Zhao State, all waiting for battle.

Su Mo walked up to the platform with the hilt of the sword in his hand, first signaling Qin Min below to be quiet, and then shouted: "According to effective information, Qin Prime Minister Lu Buwei sent a meticulous work to carry the deceased into Zhao, in an attempt to spread the plague and harm our Zhao State."

"Those fine works were the first to enter the military camp. You may have had contact with them and were infected with the plague. If you cannot find out the coefficient of infected people today, no one will leave the school ground!"

Although Zhao State allowed the Qin people to enter Zhao, it did not relax its blockade and sent heavy troops to guard it at all critical intersections. After encountering the Qin people who fled to Zhao, they were all resettled.

Therefore, those dead soldiers must still be in the military camp.

In fact, the military camps are densely populated, and even just to better spread the plague, they are definitely the first choice target for those dead men.

Su Mo retrieved the resettlement records of the Qin people not long ago, and quickly captured all the dead soldiers through investigation. However, what made Su Mo angry was that after the dead soldiers entered the military camp, they had swallowed the rotten meat and kept in contact with other refugees.

Su Mo didn't know how many people were infected with the plague, so he could only check them one by one to prevent the plague from continuing to spread.

"boom!"

After Su Mo finished speaking, all the Qin people in the school changed their expressions and looked at the people around him in horror, worried that they would be infected with the plague.

"How can the prime minister do this!"

"It's simply inhumane!"

"Impossible, the Prime Minister would never do such a thing!"
