Chapter 569 [Widows can't die! 】
Du Chong died miserably, his head was blown off by the "Pi Li bag" thrown by Qin Huaxi. Blood donation flowed all over the ground with his brain. His majestic body was also penetrated into countless holes, which looked like a personal flesh sieve. ~, he still opened his eyes until his death, and seemed to have never thought that he would become the first high-ranking official to be killed by earth explosives in the pre-Qin era.
The personal bodyguard, who was killed by Du Chong, became panic. In extreme times, panic spread like a plague. Soon the entire Xindu City was in chaos. The soldiers responsible for guarding the city gates and walls were desperately avoiding the "Pilibao" falling from the sky. The head of the Limin was hiding in his home and refused to come out. The soldiers could not find a place to hide, so they smashed the Limin's door. If they could not open it, they would break the windows, and even broke the walls directly. Anyway, as long as they could avoid the terrible "Pilibao", they would be willing to do anything.
Shi Zhong had already killed more than a dozen rioters with his own hands, but when the defenders on the entire city wall began to flee like collapsed ants, he knew that the big thing had gone. The Qin Huaxi, who had killed Du Chong, had been aiming for him for a long time, and could kill him like Du Chong at any time. Shi Zhong looked at the panicked soldiers and corpses everywhere, suddenly sighed and turned to Du Wenbu and said, "Print the book of arrows for me. Tell that Bai Zi that Xindu can open the city to surrender, but he asked him to agree not to kill my army after entering the city, and not to hurt my people! If I could do it, I would order the city to avoid the soldiers from dying in vain and the lives would be ruined."
"General?"
"What would you do if you changed it? Remember the flying lantern? I have read the text on it. If this Qin Baizi could really open a business road for Shu, boost the economy, and sympathize with the people's livelihood, it might not be a good thing for Shu. This war would not have much significance. Write it. You and I can choose to be loyal to Shu and the king. What are the people and the soldiers?"
Du Wenbu nodded and did not persuade him anymore. After a cup of tea, a general order was erected on the top of the city, and more than a dozen arrows were shot at the Qin army. Someone in the Qin army found these arrow books with letters and quickly sent them to the central army's tent. Soon, a loud arrow shot back to the city, and Shi Zhong dismantled Bai Dong's reply. He saw four words written on it, "Don't let down the people of Shu."
Half an hour later, the gate of the new capital opened wide, Shi Zhong committed suicide by slashing his sword, and his body leaned against the wall without falling. Du Wenbu was also accompanying him to commit suicide.
In the winter of 351 BC, in the first year of Emperor Shihuang of Zhou, the capital of Shu was broken. At this time, the bloody battle of diving continued. Although the Ba and Zhu were allied with Qin, they were still watching the scenery. The standard work was not done, because no one would believe that Bai Dong could break through the capital of Shu so quickly.
Bai Dong, under the protection of the guard, seemed to have a gust of wind and half swept into the new capital. When he walked to the corpses of Shi Zhong and Fan Wenbu, Bai Dong jumped off his horse, took off his crown and bowed respectfully to the corpses of the two. Then he ordered the Qin army to bury the two men with great tribute, and personally sent an order, ordering the army to shout in unison: "If the people in Shu have a turnaround, they should plan for the two heroes of Shi Du!" This sentence pushed the two Shu ministers who were suspected of treason to the level of people's heroes. Shi Zhong and Du Wenbu were not trying to treason, they were just to be loyal to the people of Shu!
In this era, no one will do things about being foolish, loyal, filial, and filial. The country and the country must be placed in front of the country.
At this time, Qin Huaxi also walked out of the hot air balloon basket. He happened to hear the Qin soldiers chanting this sentence. He felt aroused by his heart and couldn't help but look at Bai Dong's back. Gao, really Gao! Bai Dong treated Shi Zhong and Du Wenbu as a national scholar, and even wiped out the name of treason for the two. In this way, are they afraid that those Shu ministers would not be interested in Lao Qin? The information system of the Mo family is not much worse than that of other countries. But he heard that the Qin wife Bu Rongyi was coming to Shu. What did Bu Rongyi come to Shu at this time? Women are always much gentler than men. With this wife coming forward, Shu people don't have to worry that the Qin people will promote tyranny.
Bai Dong's army entered the inner city, and the Shu army surrendered one after another along the way. This is the reason why those who win the hearts of the people win the world.
In fact, to be serious, Du Lu is not a very foolish monarch, but during his reign, Shu Kingdom never became rich and powerful. The people only barely had enough food and clothing to rely on the rich land in Shu. This time, the Zhou emperor angered, and caused continuous wars and economic failure. There have been long discussions among the country. On this stormy season, the bright prospects depicted on the Flying Sky Lantern and Bai Dong's promises cannot prevent the Shu people from being moved. Even if there are some stubborn resisters, they will become obedient after seeing the Qin Air Force and the Pili bomb. For the future of the Shu people, General Shi Zhong gave up his life. Who else has the nerve to make trouble?
Du Lu, accompanied by his ministers, was standing outside the hall waiting for Bai Dong's arrival.
He was filled with hearty food, and even off-season fruits that had just been taken out of the ice cellar, including more than a dozen jars of wine introduced by the Bai family from Persia, and it was the best wine at first glance. It was the best way from Shu to Qin. Everyone knows that this should be a product sold by the Bai family merchants before they evacuated from Shu. Bai Dong glanced casually and recognized that these wines were all good things worth 3,000 yuan per jar.
Du Lu bowed and smiled again. When Bai Dong was about to jump off the horse's back, he even trotted all the way to help Bai Dong pull the reins, and helped Bai Dong pull the newly invented stirrups of the Bai family, praising: "It's great." It seemed that he was not facing an enemy who had just attacked his capital, but an old friend who had not seen him for more than ten years, and he was tossing and turning day and night.
Bai Dong jumped off the horse, looked at him with a smile, and asked him in front of the court officials of Shu: "I just broke your capital and killed your general. You will soon be unable to become the King of Shu. Why don't you hate me? Instead, come to welcome me? Haha, there are many delicious foods, there are peaches in autumn and big carp that are only available in the Yellow River. It took a lot of effort to get these things, right? It's not easy."
"When Bai Zi started to attack Xindu, I was thinking. After thinking about it, I still found that I was wrong. Bai Zi said it makes sense. I am not doing well, Shu Kingdom has such rich land, but the people of Shu Kingdom can only have food and clothing. Shu Kingdom has the best wood, square bamboo, and weaving and embroidery, but Shu Kingdom does not have the world-famous trading company. After finally coming to the Bai Family Trading Company, Bai Zi recalled Qin because he did something wrong.
Du Lu's eyes turned red as he spoke, like a helpless child who made a mistake: "Fortunately, Bai Zi broke Xindu. If it weren't for Bai Zi, I would have continued to make mistakes. So I not only wouldn't hate Bai Zi, but also regarded Bai Zi as my teacher. Friend, thank you! Shu Kingdom will be handed over to Qin Kingdom from now on. With Bai Zi here, I don't worry." Hearing the ministers of Shu Kingdom were silent, a few of them wanted to draw their swords in anger in front of Bai Dong, and then be killed by Bai Dong's guards and left their lips licked their lips and quietly put down their hands holding the sword.
"Master Meng said it very well, 'The people are the most important country, and the king is the least important.' Bai Zi is a great wise man of the world, and Qin is a powerful country in the world. Could it be that he can still treat the residents of our Shu Kingdom badly? I read the words on the flying lantern. I said it well, don't worry."
Bai Dong laughed loudly and couldn't help but pat Du Lu on the shoulder: "Well said it!" But he was secretly alert in his heart. If it weren't for the civil and military officials of Shu Kingdom, he would have considered killing this guy. It would be terrible to be able to endure it.
"Baizi asks for wine."
Du Lu respectfully invited Bai Dong to the seat, as if a flower was smiling on his face, and said carefully: "Bai Zi, although I am the king of the country that has been destroyed, I am also a prince and nobleman of more than ten lifetimes. I wonder how Bai Zi will arrange for me?"
"The country is gone. Look, Shi Zhong is a loyal minister. In order not to let the Shu people be innocently killed and injured, he opened the city gate, but he committed suicide by sword, which made the book admire him very much. You are the king of Shu, I believe you will not be as good as a minister, right? When are you going to die for death? The book must be buried with a state ceremony. What do you think?" Bai Dong was also looking at him with a smile.
"What Bai Zi said is reasonable."
"Oh? In this way, the King of Shu is ready to sacrifice his life for his country?"
"No, no, I'm not a big deal if I die, but if I die, I'm afraid that the world will laugh at Bai Zi for being ruthless. Even the nobles and scholars of Zhou State will say that Bai Zi has destroyed etiquette and may even hinder the name of Qin. So I can't die, because once I die, it's equivalent to defaming Bai Zi and Qin State."
"Oh, it seems that there is some reason for the King of Shu to say this. So what exactly does the King of Shu want?"
Bai Dong looked at Du Lu deeply, and unexpectedly there was such a shameless guy in the world. (To be continued...)
