Chapter 221 He is your fate
It would be absolutely a lie to say that they did not hate Qi Jianshu and the other Western Chu people at all, but this action by Qi Jianshu's confidant also grasped the lifeblood of many people.
The reason why they decisively chose to rebel before was because they were afraid of death!
Now, if they show any sign of wavering, Qi Jianshu doesn't need to preach to them. Whether they hate him or are afraid of him, he just needs to use these tens of thousands of people to capture the city of Xi'an.
As for whether they will obey my orders and arrangements afterwards, what does it matter?
They are just some people who are afraid of death.
For the truly upright and loyal people, even if they were not in the same camp and were enemies, Qi Jianshu would respect their loyalty and bravery. But when the people in Xianyang City saw them, they surrendered without much struggle. They were cowards...
You don't deserve it at all and you don't get his respect!
Unfortunately, ordinary soldiers do not understand this truth at all, and will never know that the faster they surrender, the less respect they will get, and they will only be looked down upon repeatedly.
Seeing that this tactic of killing the chicken to scare the monkey had a deterrent effect, Qi Jianshu curled his lips in satisfaction and added slowly.
"If anyone else wants to rebel, their fate will not be any better than his!"
Although he looked down on people with this kind of temperament, Qi Jianshu had to admit that people with this kind of temperament were the easiest to control.
Even with his words, some people still held on to their luck and took advantage of Qi Jianshu's inattention, put down their spears without thinking, and tried to run towards Han Ziyu.
He had only run a few steps when Qi Jianshu drew his sword and killed him.
The back of his hands and the tip of his knife were stained with blood, like a Shura from hell. He glanced coldly at the tens of thousands of people behind him.
"Since you have surrendered to Western Chu, you must follow my rules. Anyone who disrupts the morale of the army will be executed immediately!"
When everyone saw two people being beheaded in succession, hatred and fear were intertwined, and they no longer had any thoughts of resistance.
"..."
This quick and efficient killing tactic really worked. The rebels who had just been shaken by Han Ziyu's words no longer dared to waver!
Chu Xi and others were standing far away on the wall. Some of them couldn't hear clearly what Qi Jianshu said, but when they saw the other party ruthlessly killing the rebels, they immediately reacted.
Some generals were so angry that they gnashed their teeth and asked to go out of the city to fight the Western Chu people to the end.
In the dim night, Chu Xi, who had good eyesight, saw from afar that Qi Jianshu seemed to be looking at her. The corners of her lips curled up, as if in a provocation, but also as if she was sure of victory.
Naturally, Chu Xi wasn't the only one who noticed his behavior. Everyone else noticed it, which added fuel to the fire and made things very serious.
Those with more explosive tempers felt that Qi Jianshu's smile was simply igniting their lungs. They wished they could jump off the wall immediately and fight to the death with the Western Chu commander.
Even though he had a calm temper, he couldn't suppress his anger at this moment. After all, those who died were all from the Great Zhou.
Qi Jianshu's move not only angered his opponent, but also strongly suppressed the team's restlessness, making the restless rebels immediately calm down, killing two birds with one stone.
Chu Xi's eyes were cold, and she felt wary of Qi Jianshu. He reacted so quickly and was able to control a situation that was about to get out of control in an instant. This person was ruthless and calm.
It's a difficult character to deal with.
Zhou Yichen is not good at deploying troops, but he is good at observing people. Judging from his temperament and methods, the main general on the opposite side is not easy to deal with.
He turned his head to discuss his thoughts with Chu Xi, "Xi Chu transferred him here, which can be regarded as knowing how to use people well, but it is more difficult for us."
Chu Xi curled her lips and said nothing. "Yes, Xichu's trip is imperative. Xichu's commander is certainly not stupid. He dares to go so deep into the tiger's den. Your Highness, I'm afraid that the cooperation between the Eighth Prince and Xichu and Dongying is deeper than we imagined."
At least it is not as simple as helping them take over Xi'an...
Xianyang has fallen, and once this news is suppressed, it won’t take too long, just four or five days, for the situation to change drastically.
Zhou Yichen immediately understood what Qi Bai meant when he heard this. His face was solemn and ugly, and he gritted his teeth and said three words, "Zhou Hanjin!"
As expected, we are not afraid of people being stupid, but we are afraid of people being so selfish that they only care about their own interests and completely ignore the lives of the people.
It is easier to invite a god than to send him away. Does he think that cooperating with Xi Chu and Japan is really a good thing?
Even if he really takes advantage of this opportunity to succeed in ascending to the throne, afterwards, Western Chu only needs to hold this handle, and the Great Zhou will never have peace again!
"Your Highness, now is not the time to be angry." Chu Xi patted Zhou Yichen on the shoulder. Seeing that his face was as cold as ice, he sighed helplessly, "Since you know there is a thief inside, find a way to control him and don't let him do anything more stupid."
Zhou Yichen nodded, he knew what Qi Bai was hinting at.
Qi Jianshu intimidated the rebels, and the deputy general no longer dared to slack off and once again waved his sword and rushed towards Han Ziyu.
On the city wall.
"Have you seen this man?" Han Yaojun had just been transferred to Xi'an City and had taken over for less than two months. He could only say that he had just started working on Xi'an's military affairs. Naturally, he had no time to understand the situation of the defender of Xianyang City.
He turned his head to look at the centurion who had been serving in the army in Xi'an City for six years.
The centurion happened to recognize this man as General Wang's deputy general, and nodded quickly, "He is one of General Wang's deputy generals. He is good at swordsmanship and has made military achievements. However, he has been under General Wang for a long time and his personality has changed a lot."
Han Yaojun nodded. Whether it was from what the centurion said or from the fight between the two men, it was not difficult to see that this general was no match for Zi Yu and was not to be feared.
He just felt that... this person was pathetic and hateful. As a member of the Great Zhou, he helped the old enemy, the Western Chu people, and pointed their knives at his comrades.
Han Ziyu knew clearly that the deputy general on horseback had some advantages, so he quickly avoided the broadsword and stabbed the horse's belly with a spear.
The horse was forced to run wildly, neighing in pain, and its front legs jumped high. Han Ziyu stepped on the horse's head and flew up, stabbing the deputy general's neck with the tip of the spear.
In order to avoid the shot, the deputy general had to jump off his horse in panic, looking embarrassed and hurried.
Han Ziyu immediately chased after him. The deputy general didn't even have time to catch his breath before he was forced by Han Ziyu's spear to raise his sword with both hands and use it to block the attack.
The deputy general used a broadsword, but he had neglected martial arts training and was no match for Han Ziyu. Han Ziyu saw that the other party had already knelt on one knee to block the attack, gritting his teeth.
He immediately kicked sideways, hitting the deputy general in the chest. Not only did he roll twice on the ground, but he also suffered internal injuries and vomited blood.
Even so, Han Ziyu mercilessly stabbed the deputy general's heart with the tip of his gun, ending his life with one blow.
At the same time, he used his internal energy to amplify his voice so that Qi Jianshu and the rebels on the opposite side could hear it clearly.
Han Ziyu's eyes were cold and stern. "If he continues to rebel with the people of Xichu and become an accomplice to the evil, he will end up like you."
Everyone, "!!"
