General Qin

Agus, the South Vietnamese king, has a big problem.

Not only did he kill his father to take the throne, but he also used violence to seize power, which made people dissatisfied.

After successfully ascending to power, in order to consolidate his rule and increase his power, Argus deliberately attracted the Hu tribe who was once the enemy of the Jiao tribe.

He gave Atu Gu of the Hu tribe very high rights and made the two tribes of Jiaohu form an alliance to jointly exploit the other tribes.

Each tribe in South Vietnam had to hand over a part of the rice grown every year to the two tribes, and a part of the skins of hunted beasts. If there were sacrifices, each tribe would have to send slaves to offer sacrifices.

Under all kinds of oppression and exploitation, various tribes also resisted, but in the face of two powerful tribes, they were basically suppressed.

If anyone dared to say no to Agus's order, he would be punished directly. Such brutal suppression made the tribes deeply resentful of Agus, the king of South Vietnam.

After the Fanshan Incident, the South Vietnamese tribes sent envoys to surrender to the Qin army. They were willing to surrender to the Qin state, and at the same time made a request, hoping that the Qin army could kill the tyrant Agus and give them peace of mind.

Argus was too terrifying in their eyes. No one in the South Vietnamese tribes could sleep with this tyrant.

Zhao Tuo agreed to this request.

Not only because of his desire to conquer the tribes of South Vietnam, but also because this guy Argus has a bad habit of cannibalism!

The last time Tu Sui conquered Yue, he marched into South Vietnam after capturing Xiou, but was defeated by Agus, and many of the Qin people were captured by the South Vietnamese.

But after Yin Tong captured Panyu City, he could not find any Qin prisoners.

The reason is that all the Qin prisoners were eaten by the Jiao tribe.

It is said that after Argus heard that Qin people liked the number six, he killed six Qin people to eat it for six consecutive days to show his ridicule to Qin.

When he heard about this, Fan Kuai was so angry that he wanted to kill all the prisoners in revenge, but Yin Tong stopped him because of the overall situation.

Everything is focused on victory in the war.

Now that the dust has settled, it’s time to really start settling the accounts.

cannibal.

Such behavior has long violated Zhao Tuo's bottom line, and even the bottom line of all civilized countries.

The generals of the Qin army also clamored to execute this man to avenge the dead Qin people.

"Cannibals must die!"

Zhao Tuo's attitude was very firm, and he had no idea of ​​communicating with Argus, a barbarian.

It would be a waste of energy for you to say anything to him about this kind of thing.

"Those who eat people are anti-human and anti-civilization, and they must be killed to serve as a warning to others!"

After sending Li Shiqi to discuss the terms of surrender with the various tribes of South Vietnam, he decisively ordered the torture of King Agus of South Vietnam, as well as the shamans of South Vietnam captured by the Qin army, and the nobles of the Jiao tribe.

Zhao Tuo even sent people to invite the leaders of various tribes in South Vietnam to watch the execution ceremony.

Hearing that the Qin army was going to publicly execute Argus, the leaders of the South Vietnamese tribes were very happy and excited.

Especially Shark from the Fish Department, who was about to see with his own eyes how the enemy who killed his father would die miserably.

When everything was ready and Argus was taken to the execution ground by Qin soldiers, he saw these people who had once been like slaves under his rule.

"You damn bitches, you have taken refuge in the filthy Qin people and betrayed the glory of Buluotuo's descendants. Buluotuo, King Lei and King Jiao will destroy you!"

Argus roared, issuing curses using the gods believed by the South Vietnamese.

The heads of the tribes turned pale, and Sha En, who had a big grudge against Argus, gritted his teeth and said: "Cruel tyrant, you are going to die soon! No matter how much you say, I will have to watch your head being killed by the Qin people later. Cut it down!"

Agus laughed and said: "Hahaha, death? I, Agus, have killed countless people. When have I ever been afraid of death? Just use whatever means you have."

As he spoke, he looked in the direction of General Qin with a sneer, his eyes full of disdain, and even licked his lips, showing a look of eagerness to eat.

"This barbarian is so arrogant. If I had known, I should have cut off his tongue!"

Han Xin stood beside Zhao Tuo and became furious when he saw Argus' provocative look.

However, Zhao Tuo looked calm and simply said: "He will know when he is sentenced."

Just as Zhao Tuo said, Argus's arrogance disappeared in an instant when he was stripped naked in front of everyone and then had a steel knife pointed at his lower body, leaving only a pale face.

All five punishments!

This was the punishment Zhao Tuo set for the so-called King of Nanyue.

Tattoo, 铓, cut off the left and right toes, cut in the waist, mince.

Because South Vietnamese people are proud of their tattoos, Agus already had a dragon tattoo on his face, and tattooing was not lethal, so Zhao Tuo replaced the tattooing punishment with a castration with a wave of his hand.

It was not only Argus who was stimulated, but the leaders of the tribes who were watching also turned pale.

They saw Argus being stripped naked by the Qin people, and his lower body was cut off in front of countless people, and then he went through other horrific tortures.

No one cheered, everyone was holding their breath and shaking.

The leaders of the various tribes in South Vietnam received a great mental shock.

The tyrant they once feared became a piece of meat on the ground in the blink of an eye after experiencing endless pain.

Such a scene is even more frightening than Argus eating people.

"Qin people... are so scary."

Shark En spoke tremblingly, his eyes straightened.

A'du next to him kept swallowing his saliva and whispered: "As long as the Qin people give us a way to survive, it is better to obey them."

A pair of eyes looked in the direction of General Qin with a fearful expression.

"Congratulations, General, for killing Argus with five punishments in public. Not only did he avenge the death of my soldiers, but he also promoted the power of our Great Qin and intimidated the tribes in South Vietnam. From today on, they will not dare to rebel against our Great Qin again."

Li Shiqi congratulated Zhao Tuo with a smile.

Yes, the reason why Zhao Tuo publicly executed Argus was not only for revenge, but also for fear.

He had previously promised the South Vietnamese tribes that as long as they surrendered, he would forget about their previous battles with the Qin army and provide them with food to help them survive the winter, which showed the benevolence of the Qin state.

But it is not enough to be all benevolent, righteous, and kind. That will make these South Vietnamese barbarians think that you are kind and can be bullied, and they will be more aggressive in the future. Therefore, after giving benefits, you must also kill people to establish your authority.

Zhao Tuo wanted to let the South Vietnamese tribes know what the consequences would be if they went against the Qin army. If they dared to have any dissent in the future, they would have to think carefully about whether they could bear the fate of Argus.

There are five punishments, just thinking about it is scary.

"Kill the chicken to scare the monkeys and let them know that Qin Wei is not to be violated."

Zhao Tuo spoke calmly.

Han Xin, who was standing by, rolled his eyes, found an opportunity, and whispered: "General, now we have publicly executed Argus, which is enough to shock the hearts of the South Vietnamese tribes. I think they will not dare to rebel against our Qin State again, so that the rear is stable." . Can we take advantage of the situation and march forward, chase A Tu Gu’s tiger troops all the way into Xiou, and destroy them together!”

"I heard that General Ren Xiao has put down the rebellion of the Yangyue people in Changsha County. We can send people across the Five Ridges to inform him. When the time comes, our army will attack Xiou from two directions and we will surely defeat them in one battle!"

Han Xin's face was full of excitement.

The first time he led an army alone, he won a victory and even captured the king of a country.

Under the influence of eating the marrow, Han Xin naturally hopes that the Qin army will take advantage of the victory to pursue and continue the war against Xiou, so that he can continue to enjoy the pleasure of uniting the army in battle, and can also achieve great achievements and be promoted.

He is also very confident in the next battle.

South Vietnam was basically pacified, and their next target, Xiou, had been crippled by the Qin army led by Tu Sui in the last Qin-Vietnam war. Even if the country later recovered with the help of the South Vietnamese, its strength was still somewhat inferior, far inferior to that of South Vietnam.

After the Qin army destroyed Minyue and Nanyue, they sent troops from two directions to attack the half-broken Xiou.

In Han Xin's view, this victory has a great chance.

Zhao Tuo looked at his little apprentice with a half-smile.

If I remember correctly, after conquering Minyue before, Han Xin couldn't wait to suggest taking advantage of the situation to attack South Vietnam.
