Chapter 330 The Benevolent Imperial Preceptor
Under the respectful and admiring gazes of everyone, Tang Yu slowly nodded.
Then he spoke earnestly to them.
"Tang Yu thanks you all for saving his life. Please rise."
This statement was perfectly normal for Tang Yu.
After all, they came all the way from afar to save your life, so what's wrong with thanking them?
Is your mouth so precious?
But he forgot that this was in the pre-Qin era.
Who in this era would have such a status to thank a group of ordinary soldiers?
Tang Yu looked at the soldiers who had come all the way and felt a surge of emotion.
Their original purpose was to rescue Tang Yu, the national advisor and hero in their hearts.
They never stopped along the way.
But now, when they hear these words, they are all deeply moved and filled with emotion.
All the hardships and exhaustion along the way were worth it.
As expected, the Imperial Advisor will always be the same Imperial Advisor.
"Our lives belong to the Imperial Preceptor; how can we speak of a life-saving grace?"
"Yes, Your Excellency, that's going too far."
"If my mother knew that I saved the Imperial Preceptor, she would definitely praise me a lot when I got back."
The group of honest and simple men from Guanzhong exchanged glances and smiled warmly.
It was as if they themselves hadn't been the ones who killed countless enemies in that recent charge.
This unexpected contrast is both funny and touching.
The eyes of all the soldiers, civilians, and people in Handan trembled slightly upon witnessing this scene.
In this era, Tang Yu's words are truly unconventional and unique.
How could this happen?
How could someone of noble birth, someone second only to the emperor, apologize to a bunch of commoners?
This is impossible.
However, they knew that Tang Yu's apology was not intentional, but came from the bottom of his heart.
Many residents of Handan had already pledged their allegiance to the Qin state, but now their longing for it only intensified.
You should know that even the Grand Tutor Tang Yu in the Qin state would treat me with such seriousness.
In the Qin state, these ordinary people at the bottom of society will finally be treated like human beings.
Finally, they saw that they had dignity and a voice in front of the nobles.
Many people were filled with enthusiasm for the Qin state, and they vowed to become citizens of Qin.
I must become someone like Tang Yu.
Li Mengyao's eyes trembled slightly. She realized that no matter what Tang Yu's true identity was, he was still himself.
Just like when I first met him.
Always so sincere and earnest, always so peaceful, humble, and polite.
But the same ruthlessness, resourcefulness, and iron-bloodedness are also aspects of him.
……
If Tang Yu is holding an idol meet-and-greet, or rather, a celebrity meet-and-greet, then Ye Tian is already numb.
They managed to block the bullets fired by Tang Yu's Gatling gun by forming a human wall.
After losing more than 10,000 people, they withdrew.
They thought they had finally received reinforcements, but instead, they received reinforcements from the Qin state.
In that last charge, how could the elite Qin cavalry possibly show any mercy?
You should know that what this group of people did was not only treason, but also crossed the line of the Qin state.
More importantly, this group of people actually attempted to harm Lord Tang Yu.
It should be understood that the Grand Preceptor held a position in the hearts of every ordinary person in Qin that was just as important as that of Qin Shi Huang.
Without the Grand Preceptor, even ordinary people like them wouldn't have the happy lives they enjoy today.
If the Grand Preceptor were to die at their hands, these Qin cavalry would truly come down and tear them apart, tearing them apart and eating their flesh.
Therefore, they showed no mercy whatsoever, and were instead filled with fighting spirit.
This wave of attacks resulted in the direct slaughter of nearly eight thousand members of the Yin-Yang School army.
Thus, the original army of 100,000 men organized by the Yin-Yang School was reduced to just over 60,000 in an instant.
And one by one, the soldiers' morale plummeted, their faces filled with terror.
It seemed as if they were about to flee from Tang Yu at any moment.
At this moment, Tang Yu nodded and then said to Meng Tian.
"Surround them completely, and do not let any of them escape today."
Upon hearing this, Meng Tian immediately nodded to Tang Yu.
"Yes, Master Imperial Master."
Following Tang Yu's orders, the Qin cavalry quickly dispersed and arrived at key positions.
With ten thousand people, they forcibly formed a force that encompassed tens of thousands of people.
Of course, this is not a true encirclement.
If the Yin-Yang School's army were to launch a full-scale breakout in one direction, they would definitely be able to escape.
But all Tang Yu wanted was an opportunity.
Seeing the Yin Yang Clan army completely surrounded, Tang Yu slowly stepped forward.
Just as the Yin-Yang School members were about to retreat, they discovered that the surrounding area was already filled with Qin's iron cavalry.
Although their aura didn't seem as terrifying as Tang Yu's.
The bloodstains on his body didn't seem to be as much as Tang Yu's.
However, they also knew that this group of people were not to be trifled with.
After all, the Qin army was known as a fierce and powerful force.
This was not a gift from someone else, but something taken from the repeated killings during the war.
Behind every formidable army lies endless sacrifice.
Therefore, their sense of oppression is naturally extremely strong.
"This...this means we're doomed!"
"It's over, there's nowhere to retreat, he's going to start killing again."
"What should we do?"
"It seems that being destined by fate is not such a big deal after all."
The morale of the Yin-Yang School army is currently low, and the army is on the verge of collapse.
Tang Yu then came to stand in front of them.
"Gentlemen, now that the war is over, these unnecessary sacrifices can stop."
"You have only been misled by Ye Tian; you don't really want to rebel."
“You were originally simple and honest people of my Qin state, so as long as you surrender now, all your crimes will be punished leniently.”
After Tang Yu finished speaking, not only were the Yin Yang Clan army in front of them stunned, but even the group of people on the city gate were dumbfounded.
It should be noted that the crimes committed by this group are punishable by death.
Moreover, their motive was rebellion. Which emperor could tolerate that? Could any commoner tolerate that?
But even now, Tang Yu is still trying to spare their lives and protect them time and time again.
In this era, the least valuable thing is human life.
In this dynasty, no one cared about the lives of ordinary people; they only cared about maximizing their own interests.
However, it seems that this is not the case in the eyes of the Grand Preceptor.
Because he would go to such lengths for the sake of a few ordinary people.
If it were anyone else, it would probably have been another massacre.
