Spring and Autumn I Am King - Chapter 1198
Looking ahead in February, the peach blossoms of Taolinsai are in full bloom. Here, I pay homage to Liu Xiazhi, who died in the war more than ten years ago, and sigh with emotion after Liu Xiayue, who has not returned from the west for eight years, Zhao Wuxi Continue to command the Yulin army and enter Qin along the Weihan Ancient Road.
This battle is the final battle to unify the Central Plains. Based on his vigilance against the tenacity of the Qin people, Zhao Wuxi felt that he still had to preside over the overall situation on the front line. They are all generals, but if they really want to lead an army of 100,000 people, they are not enough.
In mid-February, the narrow Weihan ancient road finally came to an end, and a big mountain with dangerous peaks appeared in their field of vision in vain.
Because of his excellent performance in the exams of the Academy, Zhai Huang, who was turned into a royal officer by Zhao Wuxi, saw this famous mountain on the edge of his hometown, and he couldn’t help but feel a little excited, and immediately pointed to it and said:
“Junhou, Taihua Mountain is here!”
Zhai Huang is a native of Xiajun County, Fengyi County. His hometown and Huashan are only separated by the Wei River. Because of his intensive study of classics and the geography of Weinan and Weibei, he was able to counselor Zhao Hou and pointed out the way for Zhao Wuxi. The situation of mountains and rivers is also one of his work.
Unexpectedly, seeing this magnificent mountain, Zhao Wuxi was also full of emotion, and praised:
“Taihua is majestic… The name of Xiyue is indeed well-deserved.”
This Taihua Mountain, also known as the Huashan Mountain in later generations, is 5,000 meters high, and it is cut into four directions. It looks like a flower when viewed from a distance. In ancient times, the words “flower” and “hua” were commonly used, so it was called “Huashan”.
This mountain is closely related to the formation of Huaxia. It is said that this place was the place where Xuanyuan Huangdi met a group of immortals. Since then, Huashan’s reputation has grown, and it is said that Tang, Yao, Yu and Shun came here several times. As for the name of Xiyue, it is probably because King Ping moved eastward and Huashan was in the west of Chengzhou, so it was called “Xiyue”.
From a distance, you can see the splendor of this mountain. The peaks are hanging on all sides. Lin Guard, and the soldiers and civilians who escorted the baggage, couldn’t help but stare.
The young Zhai Huang was successful and returned to his hometown in fine clothes. He couldn’t help saying excitedly: “I have been away for a few years, and I revisited my hometown today. I actually feel that Taihua is a little more beautiful than before.”
“When a wanderer leaves his hometown, he will feel that the local accent is more friendly and the rural scenery is more moving. This is a common occurrence.”
Zhao Wuxi’s mouth was flat, but in his heart, he was still agitated by this scene, and he couldn’t help but blurt out:
“Above this mountain, there is an East Peak, with the top crown of the clouds, and the bottom of the earth. Great place to…”
Zhai Huang was both surprised and surprised. This Taihua Mountain is steep and steep, and no one can climb it. How do you know that the prince is not from this place?
He asked curiously, and Zhao Wuxi smiled: “Listen to what Lao Tzu said, Lao Tzu once lived in seclusion here. He may have extraordinary ability to climb dangerous peaks like an ape.”
Zhai Huang accepted this statement, but he did not know that he had only been away from his hometown for a few years, while Zhao Wuxi had been away from here for 2,500 years…
When the garrison rested at the foot of the mountain, Zhao Wuxi fell into memory.
I still remember that summer, when it was the hottest time in Shaanxi, when he was young and frivolous, he climbed Huashan Mountain at night. Panting and scarred, just shouting for the top, the moment when the sound moved the clouds.
However, after reaching Dongfeng, he found that the phrase “the height is too cold” was too right. He was not prepared enough. He was only wearing shorts and shorts, and was shivering by the icy mountain wind. A heavy military coat, hiding in a corner somewhere shivering, his body was drowsy, but he couldn’t sleep due to the whistling night wind. It was like this all night, and the next morning, the dew soaked the whole body, and the skin of the mouth was frozen white…
But at dawn, he also saw the most beautiful morning glow he had ever seen in his life, as well as the most impressive sunrise…
The red sun was so warm and the vegetation in the mountains was lush, he was almost moved to tears.
But all that happened in the previous life. He is too far away from the current one, so far that sometimes, he even doubts whether it is true or not. He is like a tourist lost in the mountains. After a long time, you will not know the true face of this mountain. Many times, Zhao Wuxi had to read the “secret history” that Taishi Mo left for him in the secret room of Weiyang Palace, so that he could find the correct position again and see the direction of progress.
Yes, the road is just ahead. Although Lintong in the Spring and Autumn Period was sparsely populated and full of thorns, the road has been twisting and twisting, along the northern foot of Mount Huashan to the west, leading to Yongzhou in Guanzhong, which must be captured by those who want to become kings and tyrants!
Only recalling the events of the previous life for a moment, Zhao Wuxi once again identified the way forward, and pointed at Taihua Mountain with his whip: “This is Xiyue, and the widow should sacrifice to this mountain.”
He did what he said. He asked people to take cattle and sheep from the baggage, kill them at the foot of Mount Hua, and present them to the **** of Xiyue. At the same time, he asked a team of soldiers and some craftsmen to stay and build a temple of Xiyue here. After Qin Dasheng returned, he would repay his wishes here.
Qin people are superstitious and worship the local mountains and rivers, which is also a part of conquest and drama…
A few days later, Zhao Wuxi and his party arrived at Xianlin, the base camp of the Zhao army.
…
Xianlin, that is, Xizheng, the excuse for Zhao Wuxi to attack Qin this time, was originally the territory of the Zhou Dynasty, and when King Xuan of Zhou named his younger brother Zheng Huan Gong here, it was for the state of Zheng. After the disaster of Mount Li, it was occupied by Qun Rong, and was later recovered by Qin. Zheng County was set up here, which was the gateway to the east of Qin.
This place is based on Huayue in the past and Jingwei in the back. It controls the fortress of Taolin on the left and the pass of Lantian on the right. The Qin people attached great importance to this place, and three thousand soldiers guarded it here. Even if the Zhao army had already approached Jingyang ten years ago, they still could not break through the danger of Huashan and occupy this place.
“Thanks to the ingenious plan of Your Majesty and Sun Tzu, Qin State was busy fighting Yiqu, and we were able to go deep into this place from Taolinsai.”
As soon as Zhao Wuxi arrived at the camp, Mu Xia, the commander of the army, hurriedly greeted him and informed him of the battle situation.
“I have been attacking the city for a month, and the outer guo has been broken. I will only wait until tomorrow to break the inner city!”
“The Qin army didn’t come to help?”
Zhao Wuxi nodded and asked Mucha to spread out the map. He carefully examined it.
“Your Majesty used 100,000 divisions to attack Qin, and it was divided into three divisions. The upper army consisted of 30,000 cavalrymen from Shangjun, Daijun, Fengyi, and Zhao Jia. It is impossible to advance eastward. The 20,000-strong division of Hanoi, Shangsanchuan County, commanded by the Shang Jun, went out to the land of business and landed in Lantian, forcing the 5,000 Qin army in Lantian to dare not move.”
“Then, the 50,000 people of the Chinese army are gathered here. If the Qin people come, the upper army will cut off their way, and they can come to attack and they will be rescued!”
“Encircle the point to help.” Zhao Wuxi smiled: “The Qin army has just fought a **** battle with Yiqu, and both were injured. The number of soldiers that can be used is only 20,000 or 30,000, so I didn’t dare to rush eastward. If you have the opportunity, pass our military orders, and within ten days, the city of Zheng will be pulled!”
…
After Zhao Wuxi came to the front line in person, the generals of the Zhao army were greatly encouraged. Within three days, Zheng Cheng, which had suffered heavy casualties, was swept down. Since then, the eastern door of the Qin state has been opened, and there is no longer any danger to defend.
Afterwards, Zhao Guozhong’s army was divided into two parts, one part followed Zhao Wuxie to the west to force Feng Gao, and the Shang army was divided into two sides of the Weishui River. The other, led by Mu Xia, headed south to Lantian, intending to join forces with Shang Jun Zhao Yi to encircle and destroy the five thousand Qin soldiers stationed in Lantian.
The Zhao army changed from the light cavalry that attacked Qin last time to go deep, and adopted the tactic of pressing step by step, seeing the city and pulling the city, and seeing the city and the city. Pu, the eldest son of Qin State’s great concubine who was stationed in Feng Hao, suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of oppression. Zhao State was no longer satisfied with conquering Qin State, but was determined to annex them! Now, he only hopes that the ten-year-old Lantian “Qin Ruishi” can create miracles…
However, things backfired. In the battle of Lantian, even though the Qin people were brave and not afraid of death, and their equipment was improved a lot compared to ten years ago, they were still far behind Zhao Wuzu, who had become popular with iron armor.~www.mtlnovel.com~ Besieged by Zhao’s army ten times larger than himself, these Qin Ruishis were almost wiped out after a day and night of fighting…
At the beginning of March, Lantian fell, and the Qin people who lost their geographical advantage could only retreat step by step.
Fenghao is the core area of the Guanzhong Plain. At that time, after King Wen of Zhou destroyed Chong, he built Fengjing on the west bank of Fengshui and moved the capital from Qizhou to here; King Wu of Zhou established Haojing on the east bank of Fengshui. Feng Hao constituted the political center of Zongzhou, Fengjing was the location of the ancestral temple and garden, and Haojing was the place where the king of Zhou lived and managed.
With the Qin Rong breaking Feng Hao, the place declined for a time, the land was deserted, and the people were scattered, until the Qin State expelled the Qun Rong and regained the place. After three hundred years of restoration, Feng Hao once again became a farmland adjacent to each other. In this plentiful land, everything is not bad except that the water conservancy conditions need to be improved.
But this year, Feng Hao, who had been calm for three hundred years, was once again shrouded in battle clouds…
In mid-March, Zhao Wuxi had arrived in Fenghao.
At that time, there were 100,000 soldiers of Zhao at Xinfeng Hongmen; 30,000 soldiers of Qin were at Bashang…
