Huo Guang sent someone to convey Ying Yuan's intention to the court and Bai Qi.
Xianyang is relatively close to Hangu Pass.
Daji was the first to know about this and was extremely surprised. She said to Cao Cao:
"I thought His Majesty would be furious after hearing about this, but I didn't expect him to support Wu Anjun's actions."
The latter responded: "Your Majesty is a courageous emperor. Wu Anjun should be grateful for having met your Majesty."
In his opinion, if Bai Qi had not met Ying Yuan, then after several years, Bai Qi would still do the same thing.
Sooner or later something is going to happen.
The phrase "I have your support" not only won Bai Qi's loyalty, but also demonstrated the courage that an emperor of all ages should have.
Daji nodded and murmured, "I still have to warn Bai Qi that he should try not to do things like that in the future."
What she feared was that once Qin's reputation was damaged to such an extent, other countries would feel that they shared a common hatred for the enemy.
Cao Gong bowed and said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I will warn Wu Anjun again and again."
As the Minister of War, he also has the responsibility and obligation to supervise domestic military generals.
At Hangu Pass, Ding Baiying thought of this and asked Ying Yuan curiously,
"Why does Your Majesty disapprove of killing the prisoners?"
The latter said: "The world will not tolerate Bai Qi, but I tolerate him. Isn't it just killing prisoners? In my eyes, the more he kills, the better."
As to why, he didn't say.
In fact, it cannot be said.
After all, the system didn't allow him to tell anyone about his stupidity and desire to destroy the country.
So Ding Baiying could only rely on his own guesses.
Could it be because both prisoners and enemy troops could be potential vital forces of the enemy country?
Only by completely destroying this kind of living force can we dispel the enemy's idea of invading Daqin?
That should be it.
I just don’t know how many people will die in this world if this happens.
I think this is the era of great contention.
If it were not for Your Majesty, the Qin State would have been destroyed long ago.
When countries fight each other, it is inevitable that people will die.
A few days later.
Yunzhou.
Bai Qi just received news from His Majesty.
Guo Jia frowned and asked, "But Your Majesty intends to punish the general for killing the prisoners?"
Hearing this, Bai Qi shook his head and said, "On the contrary, His Majesty told me to be bold and do it. No matter what the consequences, he has my back."
As soon as the words fell, Guo Jia was slightly surprised. After a pause, he shook his head and smiled: "Wu'an Jun, I have to say, you are really lucky."
"What do you mean?" Bai Qi asked puzzledly.
Guo Jia said bluntly, "If it were an ordinary emperor, I'm afraid the general would be punished for such a serious incident. After all, he has to give an explanation to the outside world."
Having said that, he took a sip of tea and continued, "However, His Majesty did not blame you, but rather agreed with your decision.
This shows that Your Majesty possesses a courage that ordinary emperors lack. Given the general's character, only by working under such an emperor can he ultimately achieve success."
In other words, if it was not His Majesty, but any other emperor, then given Bai Qi's character, he would sooner or later cause greater trouble.
Bai Qi also understood this principle. He nodded and said, "Those who achieve great things do not pay attention to trivial matters. Your Majesty understands this principle better than I do."
In his eyes, the notoriety gained from killing 20,000 prisoners was just a small matter.
When a country or a king's notoriety reaches a certain level, it is easy to attract public attacks.
Guo Jia gave a bitter laugh and said earnestly, "Even though Your Majesty is wise and powerful, General, please refrain from doing such things as killing prisoners."
Bai Qi said sternly, "Military Advisor, you must understand one thing. Bai Qi is not killing prisoners just for the sake of killing them. This is for the ultimate victory of the war. Bai Qi will do anything for this."
Guo Jia nodded and said, "General, have you ever considered that, while His Majesty is here today, you are safe. But if His Majesty's offspring succeeds you in the future, what will you do?"
Bai Qi said bluntly, "If one day, Your Majesty is gone, then why should I, Bai Qi, live on in this world?"
Having said this, Guo Jia stopped trying to persuade him.
A general like Bai Qi, if he meets a wise ruler, is destined to be famous throughout history.
But if he had met a tyrant, he would have been beheaded long ago.
soon.
The news of Bai Qi killing prisoners spread to other countries at an extremely fast speed.
When Princess Chong'er of Jin learned about this, she immediately ordered people to spread the news quickly.
Originally, the invasion of Qin was caused by the unkindness of Jin and Chu.
Now, after Bai Qi killed the prisoners, it seemed that the scales of justice began to tilt towards him, which was a good thing.
Although... 20,000 soldiers died.
But how can there be no casualties in war?
He laughed heartily to Mao Sui, Lin Xiangru and others and said:
"I should be very grateful to this Qin general named Bai Qi. Otherwise, everyone in the world will think that our Jin State's conquest of Qin State is unreasonable."
It really doesn't make sense...
Of course, this was before Bai Qi killed the prisoners.
After the prisoners are killed, people will begin to think that the Qin State is a country of tigers and wolves and should be conquered.
Mao Sui said, "Your Majesty, now, the most important thing you should do is not to be happy about this matter."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Chong'er frowned slightly, confused. "Why? This way, everyone will think that our Great Jin's attack on Qin is a matter of upholding benevolence and righteousness."
Mao Sui bowed and said, "Your Majesty, after all, 20,000 soldiers from our Jin State were killed by the Qin generals.
