Hearing this, Zhao Feng turned his head and said irritably, "If you're not afraid of military law, then go ahead."
The Qin Army had strict military discipline. Without a general's order, actions like slaughtering a city or committing rape were absolutely forbidden. The King of Qin aimed for dominion over all under heaven, striving for an everlasting foundation, not something built in a day. Thus, for this campaign against Han, the King of Qin had issued an edict: the Sharp Warriors of Qin were only allowed to strike against enemy forces; harming surrendered soldiers or innocent civilians was forbidden.
