Chapter 122: Lord Xinling's thoughts

Zhao Kuo thought seriously and could not hesitate for the generals, but making a decision was not easy, because one of his choices could determine the life and death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, the family behind them, and the people of a whole country. Therefore, when making decisions, Zhao Kuo usually makes the most stable decisions and never dares to be radical. He is afraid that his decisions will kill more people.

Looking at the map and struggling for a long time, Zhao Kuo gritted his teeth and finally made a decision.

.........

Xinlingjun’s disciples were confused.

After convening the entire army, Xinling Jun made the first decision to snatch the boats of the fishermen in the surrounding counties. In Hanoi, the Qin people's resistance was very tenacious. Hearing that the Wei people needed ships, many fishermen who lived on ships all their lives cried through their love. After killing the soldiers who resisted, Wei Wuji was unable to calm down because the Qin people at the bottom also tried their best to hinder the Wei army's actions.

The soldiers of the Wei State disappeared every day, and their bodies were often found by the river the next day.

There are countless people who want to burn food and grass while the night is falling, or even organize the people to attack the camp. In order to stabilize the rear in the future, Wei Wuji quickly made a decision to kill these areas that resisted. If a Qin man resisted rebelliously, he would kill all the Qin people in this place without leaving any chickens and dogs. Under such cruel policies, many Qin people were reported by their own people when they wanted to resist. After all, more people were afraid of death than those who were not afraid of death.

With Wei Wuji's iron-blooded methods, the situation in Hanoi improved, and at least the soldiers of Wei no longer disappeared for no reason. After collecting enough ships, Wei Wuji only left a disciple with an army of 5,000 people to stay behind, but he led a large army to cross the river. The disciples did not understand Xinlingjun's approach, but Xinlingjun had a high prestige and they did not refuse.

During the whole process, Xinlingjun seemed particularly cautious and sent a large number of scouts to various places, and even soldiers who were not allowed to cross the river to light bonfires to keep warm. He said that the scouts of the Qin people could identify their own situation in the distance through the smoke from cooking. If the enemy knew that they had crossed the river, they would definitely attack while they were most tired. Many visitors smiled disdainfully. Xinlingjun was good at everything, but they thought too much.

The Qin people were far away in Zhao, so how could they come here to observe the smoke from cooking?

Because Xinling Jun refused to light a bonfire, soldiers were frozen to death.

However, Xinling Jun was not soft-hearted. After landing, a visitor suggested that he should hurry up and join forces with Jin Bi before the Qin people had discovered that they had crossed the river.

Xinlingjun rejected him and said: There is no sacrifice to the river, so you can't leave in a hurry.

Afterwards, he personally sacrificed the river water to the deceased soldiers, slaughtered livestock, and prayed for the river water to protect all the dead soldiers. The ceremony was very solemn. Xinlingjun took out a large amount of meat for sacrifice. Witches jumped around the other side of the river all day long. Interestingly, these witches were all from Qin, and Wei Wuji spent a lot of money to invite them.

Wei Wuji's disciples suggested: You cannot waste it like this just because we have sufficient food and grass. The meat that is sacrificed to the river should be distributed to the soldiers.

Wei Wuji rejected the offer of his servant again and said: This is not a useless behavior, you will know in the future.

Sure enough, as Wei Wuji said, the soldiers of Wei who were complaining, frustrated, and even angry had changed a lot after two consecutive days of grand sacrifices. They became solemn and their faces were full of fighting spirit. Xinling Jun asked Wu to calculate the result of their this time. Wu raised the turtle shell and told everyone that the river god would bless the Wei army, and that you will definitely win this war.

Hearing Wu said this, Wei Wuji's servant smiled and put down the short sword placed on Wu's family's neck.

You're doing it right.

Then Xinlingjun led the Wei army toward Jin Bi without any hurry. It can be seen that Xinlingjun was very worried about Jin Bi's safety, but he marched very slowly and sent scouts to investigate the situation ahead. Whenever he walked to a place, he would quickly ask the soldiers to stop and rest and accumulate their strength. The guests shook their heads. They really didn't understand what Xinlingjun was thinking.

However, I can only obey.
