What group are you guys?

Chapter 508: Quicksand Destruction
"Were all the rebels killed?"

Li Qingyuan asked in some surprise.

"Except for the white-haired guy who ran away, kill everyone else!"

Jingwei replied nonchalantly.

She knew that her master seemed to have some friendship with the two guys who led the rebellion, so she ignored Li Si's advice and directly beheaded the two men!

As the leader of the assassins, Jingwei said that she had seen a lot of people, and from the looks of the two scholars, she could tell that the conflict between them and their master was definitely irreconcilable.

After listening to Jingwei's report, Li Qingyuan didn't know how to complain.

It turns out that Li Si actually pleaded for Han Fei. This is really going against the will of Heaven!
Han Fei was supposed to die anyway, and he was not surprised. It was just a pity that he died before the strategist Zhang Liang showed any abnormality.

No wonder those fantasy novels always say that geniuses can only be counted when they grow up. Before a top talent like Zhang Liang fully develops, isn’t he just a ghost killed by Jingwei’s sword?
"By the way, Master, I caught a female traitor, the former boss of Zi Lan Xuan. I threw her directly into the dungeon. Do you want to take a look?"

"Hey? Zi Nu was caught too?"

Li Qingyuan felt a little surprised. Did this so-called Quicksand Organization get wiped out in one fell swoop?
But it is not surprising when you think about it. Liusha may be a huge organization in more than ten years, but now it is just a makeshift team that has just been established. It is natural for it to be crushed when it encounters Jingwei, a master who survived the assassination and has the assistance of thousands of Jinyiwei.

"Yes! I specifically asked to catch him alive!"

Jingwei said that she knew her master's preferences very well. Although killing the two scholars might make him feel uncomfortable, as long as there was a beautiful woman to attract his attention, he would definitely forget about what happened just now in a moment.

"Well done!"

Li Qingyuan praised with satisfaction. It is true that the killing of Han Fei and Zhang Liang was somewhat unexpected, but death is death, it is no big deal.

Besides, given the hatred between him and the other party, there would be no way to reconcile them no matter what. After all, this has risen to the level of national hatred and family feud.

So he said sorry to Han Fei in his heart, and then Li Qingyuan let the matter go.

Needless to say, what happened next was that after learning that Li Qingyuan personally led his troops to defeat the 70,000-strong Chu army, the Yan State, which had not yet arrived at the battlefield, was the first to withdraw from the battle sequence.

They are here to pick up bargains, not to consume goods, okay?

It is currently recognized throughout the world that the soldiers of the three kingdoms of Qin, Chu and Zhao are the strongest. However, because Zhao suffered too many casualties in the Battle of Changping, its strength has declined, so Qin and Chu are the default overlords.

The Chu army was defeated, so the Yan State, a small kalamy group, naturally did not dare to attack again.

Soon after, the State of Zhao also withdrew.

After all, there was Wei State between Zhao and Tang. Even if they conquered it, they could not rule it. They were just assisting Qin.

Even if the king of Zhao was willing to do this, the entire army and civilians of Zhao would not agree to it. So the original mighty five countries' attack on Tang immediately turned into only Qin and Wei besieging Jinshui City!

The Qin State had no choice. The Tang State had kidnapped its own envoys and sheltered the rebel general. If it didn't fight it, it would be difficult for the Qin State to maintain its position as the leader.

And the State of Wei?

It is now in a dilemma and cannot get off the tiger's back!

Jinshui City is connected to the border of Wei State. After learning that the five countries were attacking Tang, Wei State immediately sent people to lead the army to attack. Qin State attacked the west and Wei State attacked the east. The division of labor and cooperation between the two countries were quite pleasant.

At that time, the Wei State was still thinking about getting some benefits after conquering the Tang State. Although the bulk of the profits went to the Qin and Chu States, at least the Wei State could get a share of the spoils, right?

Results now!

The State of Chu was defeated, and the State of Qin was still fighting to the death to save its face, but Jinshui City remained motionless. It wanted to withdraw but could not.

Because Qin had sent people to contact it, asking Wei to assist Qin in capturing Jinshui City.

Damn it!
The commander of the Wei army just wanted to curse, "I am a general of Wei, not of Qin. What right do you have to order me around?"
But even though he cursed, he really didn't have the courage to disobey Qin's orders.

If Wei Wuji were still alive, the State of Wei would naturally be fearless. But Wei Wuji is already dead. What is the situation of the State of Wei?
Anyway, anyone except Tang State can give it a kick.

Li Si led all the officials to congratulate the King of Tang for defeating the Chu army in one fell swoop and accepting the surrender of tens of thousands of prisoners. This was definitely great news for the Tang State, which was already short of population.

Wars are fought with population and logistics. In terms of logistics, Li Qingyuan said that Cthulhu will have no problem at all with its industrial backing, but population cannot be created.

According to Li Si's statistics during this period, the current total population of the Tang State is about 1.3 million, and the number of soldiers in the Tang State has reached an astonishing 120,000!
One in ten may not sound like a big deal, but among a population of 1.3 million, more than 700,000 are women, and the total male population is only about 500,000.

As the capital, Xinzheng at least has some popularity. But in those slightly remote villages, it is almost impossible to find an adult male of the right age!
But the good news is that last time Bai Yifei massacred the nobles in Xinzheng, this time Han Fei's rebellion massacred those restless nobles again. Although there are still many fish that slip through the net, more than 80% of the land in the whole of Korea has been vacated.

Therefore, Li Qingyuan could generously offer to distribute land to the soldiers, thereby directly boosting morale to an excited state.

As for why it didn’t explode immediately?
That is, distributing land to soldiers was not a patent of the Tang Dynasty. There were clear regulations in the Qin Dynasty's military merit system. Any soldier who gained military merit in the war could be allocated land, and even if he killed many enemies, he could obtain the status of a low-level noble. This is why the Qin soldiers were the most powerful in the world.

In fact, the idea of distributing land to soldiers was invented earlier by Wu Qi of Wei State. At that time, the Wei Wu soldiers were invincible and defeated all the surrounding countries.

Unfortunately, with Wu Qi's death, the Wei nobles began to annex domestic property and land on a large scale, making the Wei Wuzu become history.

There is no way. The reason why Wei Wuzu was invincible in the world was that anyone who was selected would be directly granted 500 acres of land and eight slaves. Even if you died in the battle, your descendants would inherit your status and welfare benefits.

But later on, these guys only talked about dedication instead of treatment. Successive Wei kings clamored every day that if the Wei Wuzu were still there, they would do this and that, but when it came to dividing the benefits, they were timid and simply relied on making big promises to get others to work for them. Even Li Qingyuan felt that those guys were much more shameless than himself!
