Chapter 162: There was no Buddha in the world until many people came to Buddha

Gongsun Ce walked slowly towards Zhao Qi, each step seemed calm and unhurried, as if everything was under his control.

A trace of fear flashed in Zhao Qi's eyes. He knew Gongsun Ce's methods, but now he had nowhere to escape.

But Zhao Qi is, after all, a master at the grandmaster level, and it is impossible for him to just sit there and wait for death.

Zhao Qi's whole body of true energy was boiling, and he was exerting his energy like a great master without caring about his life. Blood began to seep out of his skin.

Gongsun Ce knew that Zhao Qi was risking his life, but he didn't care at all.

"Drink!"

Zhao Qi swung his palm with all his strength at Gongsun Ce. This move condensed all his life's strength. He believed that even a master in the late stage of grandmaster would find it difficult to resist.

But the fact is, Gongsun Ce didn't even make any move and just watched his palm wind coming at him.

Just when Zhao Qi's palm wind was about to approach Gongsun Ce, the breeze that trapped Zhao Qi suddenly turned into a wind blade, easily cutting into the palm wind swung by Zhao Qi.

The powerful palm wind, which should have been able to easily destroy a palace, turned into a breeze in front of Gongsun Ce in just a moment, and only blew Gongsun Ce's hair.

Gongsun Ce walked up to Zhao Qi, stretched out his hand, and gently pressed it on his chest.

Zhao Qi only felt a strong gust of wind rushing into his body, blocking all the acupuncture points on his body. He suddenly felt weak all over and unable to move.

Gongsun Ce smiled slightly and loosened his hand. The wind wall did not dissipate, but moved inward, trapping Zhao Qi inside.

Even though Zhao Qi was unable to move at this moment, he still stood firmly in place with the support of the wind wall.

Zhao Qi’s eyes widened and he looked at Gongsun Ce in disbelief.

The next moment, Gongsun Ce aimed his finger at Zhao Qi's forehead and flicked it. Zhao Qi's head was injured and he became a little dazed.

Word Spirit Hypnosis

"How many Grand Masters does Zhao have?"

After Gongsun Ce used the power of words to hypnotize him, Zhao Qi began to resist Gongsun Ce's questions, but then he told Gongsun Ce everything.

“I, Zhao Qi, am a follower of King Xiaocheng. Because of my talent in martial arts, I was trained to become a grandmaster.

Li Mu, the old general Pang Nuan took a liking to him and taught him carefully, and he became a great master.

Zhao Yan, a natural eunuch, was an unregistered member of the royal family of Zhao State. He created his own martial arts to become a great master.

Gongsun Ce continued to ask, "No more?"

Zhao Qi nodded, "No, there are only three of us. If General Pang Nuan was still here, there would be four of us."

In a moment, Zhao Qi suddenly broke free from Gongsun Ce's control of hypnosis. He looked at Gongsun Ce in horror, "Thief, what did you do to me?"

Gongsun Ce chuckled, "Ha, ignorance is bliss."

The next second, Gongsun Ce waved his hand and a wind rope formed to bind Zhao Qi. Gongsun Ce took Zhao Qi away from Handan.

Of course Gongsun Ce did not forget to bring the cows and sheep, as they were Gongsun Yan’s food.

In the hall of the Yanyu County Magistrate's Mansion.

Wang Jian looked at Gongsun Ce, who had gone out and returned from Handan in less than three days, and even captured a great master, and brought back the Zhao State City Defense Map and Hu Zhe's Marching Map. He unconsciously asked Gongsun Ce a question:
"Why didn't General Gongsun take care of Hu Zhe and his army?"

Gongsun Ce patted Wang Jian on the shoulder and said, "I have done everything. What else do I need you to lead the troops for? To clean up the mess for me? To cheer for me?"

Wang Jian was silent for a moment and decided to turn on the easy mode. He had been fighting for half his life and had never turned on the easy mode.

Those who dare to confront Wang Jian are all ruthless people, so the battles that Wang Jian participated in can be described as hell-level in difficulty.

This includes the upcoming battle between Wang and Li.

The Zhao city defense map and Huzhe's march map drawn by Gongsun Ce with his bare hands and from memory are exactly the same as the originals.

However, there is a small problem with the city defense map, which is that it is not detailed enough.

The city defense map in King Zhao's Qianlongtai is a comprehensive map, which records who is the defender of each city, how many soldiers there are, how much reserve grain there is, and how many city defense equipment there are.

However, there will not be a detailed layout of city defense equipment and the city defense forces deployed on it.

However, the records of total military strength and city defense equipment were enough for Wang Jian, not to mention the presence of Po Tu San Lang.

Wang Jian bowed to Gongsun Ce and said, "Thank you, General Gongsun. However, before leaving, Your Majesty also gave me a secret decree..."

Gongsun Ce waved his hand to interrupt Wang Jian's words, "No need to say more, I know what it is. Where are the prepared prisoners of war being held?"

"It is in the secret room under the county governor's mansion. When we found this place before, it was full of money and treasures. I wonder what should be done with this money?"

Gongsun Ce saw through Wang Jian's intention. Before the city was captured, Gongsun Ce had repeatedly ordered that the soldiers should not burn, kill or loot. Therefore, Wang Jian asked Gongsun Ce whether he would give some rewards to the soldiers.
"You didn't grab any?"

"The military order has been issued, and we dare not disobey it."

Gongsun Ce was also a little amused, "I have clearly said before that you must not disturb the poor, but I never said that you cannot rob the local tyrants.

The money found in the county magistrate's office was rewarded to the soldiers.

Sort out the land deeds in the city, distribute some of the good land to the poor in the city, and organize them to resume farming as soon as possible.

March as quickly as possible and capture the remaining cities. Make arrangements before Hu Zhe arrives in Pingyang, and we will catch him in the trap."

Wang Jian nodded in agreement, "Yes!" Gongsun Ce slowly left the main hall of the county magistrate's mansion and came to Fusu's room.

The door was not locked, and Gongsun Ce pushed it open. Fusu was studying the map of Zhao State at that moment.

"gentlemen!"

Gongsun Ce nodded and asked Fusu and him to leave. "Fusu, it's time to teach you the second lesson - killing prisoners."

Fusu followed Gongsun Ce all the way. When he heard Gongsun Ce's words, he was shocked.

"May I ask, sir, why do you want to kill the prisoners? After the fall of Yanyu City, even if they are our prisoners, they are still the people of our Great Qin."

Gongsun Ce felt that Fusu was much better than Ying Zheng in treating prisoners, but he really shouldn't think that way.

"After the city is captured, it does not mean that the people and defenders in the city will directly become your subjects. Deep down, they still think they are Zhao people."

"Sir, may I ask how I can turn them into my people?"

Gongsun Ce raised his hand and pointed to the south, "Where is the former Han State? It is now Yingchuan County. Han Fei is under my orders to subtly change the thinking of the people of Han State.

In the name of Qin, they were given land and exempted from taxes for one year. Members of the Gongsun family were allowed to give speeches to publicize Qin's benevolent policies.

Even so, there are still people who miss their homeland and unconsciously call the land under their feet "Han". Do you think it is really easy to change customs and habits? "

After listening to Gongsun Ce's words, Fusu fell into deep thought.

Gongsun Ce continued to ask Fusu, "Fusu, do you know how the Qin State deals with prisoners?"

Fusu nodded and said, "According to the records in the classics, the captives should be dispersed throughout the Qin Dynasty, and the old Qin people should be used to influence the captives and make them new Qin people."

"Four old Qin people and one Zhao person form a team. It will take a long time to change the Zhao person's cognition. It is easy to attack a city, but difficult to conquer its heart.

Therefore, this lesson is not what you simply think of as wanton killing, but it makes you deeply aware of how much these Zhao soldiers recognize that they are Zhao people.

Let me tell you how difficult it is to accept a prisoner. Okay, here we are."

The entrance to the secret room was hidden behind the rockery of the county magistrate's mansion. After emptying the house of valuables, Wang Jian quickly converted it into a prison cell.

Gongsun Ce found the mechanism on the rockery and pressed it. Not long after, the rockery moved away, revealing a hole leading downwards.

Gongsun Ce and Fusu walked down the cave and soon entered the underground secret room.

The underground secret room was divided into three cells and the deepest interrogation room.

There were three people imprisoned in each of the three cells, which meant there were a total of nine people in this secret room.

Gongsun Ce turned back to look at Fusu, "In order not to directly attack your naivety, you should first choose someone and persuade him to surrender.

If you can persuade them to surrender, I will let them go."

Fusu nodded, and after careful observation, he chose the weak scholar in the first cell on the right.

Gongsun Ce looked at Fusu with a smile, Fusu made a good choice, it was difficult from the beginning.

The other party is a deputy general of the defending general and also a military advisor. More importantly, his whole family is in Handan. If he surrenders, a hearty drama of genocide will be staged.

Word Spirit: Eyes of the Wind King

Gongsun Ce beckoned, and the prison door opened. The other two Zhao soldiers who had been planning to escape for a long time were ready to run out of the cell, take Fusu hostage, and escape.

However, dreams are beautiful and reality is cruel. Gongsun Ce hooked his finger again, and blood suddenly appeared on the limbs of the two Zhao army soldiers.

The wind blades cut off their limbs, turning them into disabled people, with only their heads able to move.

The weak scholar sighed, "Why not listen to advice? Since the other party opened the door carelessly, it means that they have the ability to easily deal with us.

Such behavior and attempts to escape are nothing more than moths flying into a flame, courting their own destruction."

Qingfeng bound the frail scholar and lifted him up, flying all the way to the interrogation room, where he was immediately bound by iron chains.

Gongsun Ce and Fusu slowly walked up to each other.

Gongsun Ce just sat aside and indicated that Fusu would be responsible for everything that happened next.

Gongsun Yan in Gongsun Ce's arms rolled his eyes, obviously looking forward to what was to come.

Gongsun Ce directly used the Word Spirit Hypnosis to make Gongsun Yan slowly fall asleep.

The last words Gongsun Yan heard before he fell asleep were: "Child, sleep well and don't stay up late."

Fusu immediately began to interrogate the other party, "Name."

"Pongjie."

"What position?"

"Defending general."

"Are you willing to surrender? You heard what Mr. Gongsun said just now. If you surrender now, the other eight people and you will be safe."

Pang Jie shook his head and said, "If I am not mistaken, you should be Prince Fusu. You are kind and righteous, and I admire you. But I still have relatives in Handan.

If I surrender, my people will not be able to survive. I cannot destroy the lives of other people because of my own survival."
