Chapter 1200 Chang’an Ba Shang (Part 2)
“Zhao Wuxi wants us not to resist?”
Zipu opened the letter, those old eyes glanced back and forth, and a sneer appeared on the thin lips under the white beard: “He is really not satisfied with taking Xizheng, and even Weinan is not enough…”
After speaking, Zipu waved the letter and looked at the son who was willing to be a carrier pigeon for Zhao Wuxi: “Zhao Kingdom, this time I want to completely annex Qin State and destroy our society! Does the prince know?”
“The Sheji of the Qin state will be preserved.” Gongzi Tili tried his best to explain: “Zhao Hou promised that as long as the Qin people disarmed their arms and sacrificed the land of Qidong and Weinan, they would be able to serve as the Xiaozong of Zhao and continue to serve in Yongcheng and Longxi. nation.”
Weinan is the land of Fenggao, Qidong is the north bank of the Weishui River, and Longxi is the territory of the Qin State to the west of Longshan Mountain. Together with Qiyang Yongdu, these are the only four remaining areas of the Qin State. Fourth, the second, the Qin state will be reduced to the small state on the western frontier more than 300 years ago.
“Qidong, Weinan, what the prince said is really light…” The anger of the great concubine broke out completely.
“Thinking back to that year, when King Ping moved eastwards, and my Qin manpower fought to protect the Son of Heaven, so the first ruler Xianggong was named a prince. The Son of Heaven gave Qin Guoqi and Feng land in name, but in fact, every inch of land was a soldier of the old Qin people. The attack on the Quanrong was only captured little by little. From Duke Xiang to Duke Mu, over a hundred years, Qin did not know how many monarchs and children of the Dukes died in the wars with the Rongs and Jin people, and finally rose to prominence. For a great country in the West!”
“The ancestors exposed the frost and cut the thorns in order to have the size of the land. Today, the prince lives in a foreign country all the year round, and has no teacher and education, so he does not know the hardships of his ancestors, and he does not care about the land. If you want to give it to others, it is like abandoning grass and mustard! I Qin Is there still little land ceded to Zhao by the state? The nine cities of Hexi and the ten cities of Jingyang have all fallen. Even so, they have only been able to sleep for ten years. Now, Zhao soldiers have arrived again. It can be seen that the land of Qin is limited. Zhao Wuchun is greedy and insatiable, and the more numerous it is, the more urgent it is to invade! He keeps saying that he will save the Qin State, but in the end, he will definitely overthrow it! Dare to ask the prince, is there any reason to fight the fire with salary?”
The quilt Pu Yi gave a stern reprimand, and the son was ashamed on his face. He just wanted to find a gap to get in, but he still held back and forced himself to continue talking.
“It was difficult for the ancestors to start a business, how can the boy not know? But the strength gap between Qin and Zhao is too great. Zhao’s army is more than 100,000 strong, strong and sharp, and has broken through Zheng and Lantian, and penetrated into the hinterland of our country of Qin. This is only Zhao. Half of the country’s military strength, if Zhao Hou is willing, he can use all the counties in the east and send another 100,000 troops into Qin.”
“And the Qin army is only less than 30,000, and many elites died in the war with Yiqurong. Qin Ruishi, who was painstakingly managed by the great concubine, was also defeated in the battle of Zheng and Lantian. The boy entered. The army camp, but the soldiers are not uniform in armor, the weapons are backward, and there are even spear-wielding young and old! Relying on these people to fight the Zhao army decisively is tantamount to hitting the stone with an egg! Only Qin alone cannot be an enemy of the strong Zhao. The shogun’s resistance will not only be useless, it will even ruin the lives of more than 20,000 people, and it will also make the Qin country irretrievably perished. Zhao Wuxi has always shown no mercy to those who resist…”
“So what?” Zipu snorted, “I want to let Zhao Wuxi know that the Qin state can be conquered, but the Qin people will not disarm and surrender like the cowards of Zheng and Wei!”
With a wave of his long hand, the great concubine threw the letter into the brazier, and it landed on the charcoal.
Young Master Thorn couldn’t believe it, “Sir, are you crazy? This is the last chance to save the Sheji of the Qin State!”
However, Zipu slapped the son with a backhand.
“As expected, the prince has been away from Qin for a long time, and he has already regarded himself as a Zhao person. I don’t know what a Qin person is. What is a Qin person? It is hard gold and jade. It is better to bend than bend. That’s right, Qin State has just fought with Yiqu. The dead have not had time to bury, and the wounded will be adopted in the future, so they rushed here to defend against the Zhao army. If they fight, they will lose. But so what? Why is there no clothes, the same robe as the son, Wang Yuxing, the teacher, repair my spear. Let Zhao Wuxi come! The old man is not afraid of him!”
“The great concubine! Your move will destroy the country of Qin…”
The cheek that had been slapped just now was aching, but Young Master Thorn roared exhaustively.
“The husband’s family and the people of Yongdu may be willing to die in battle with you, but what about the ordinary soldiers outside? What about the millions of Qin people? Do you think so?”
The son pointed to the outside of the tent and said: “The Qin State was defeated outside the war, the great concubines practiced harsh laws inside, and the people were tired of hard work, and they had long lost their fighting spirit. On the way to Ba Shang, the boy saw that the fields that were supposed to be plowed in spring were barren. , the people are displaced, their faces are disheveled, and they all say they don’t want to fight again. The great concubine Chang Ning is unyielding, and if he wants to follow the example of Xianzhen and die without his arms, it is to fulfill himself, but please don’t let more innocent people die!”
Zipu laughed loudly: “Innocent? If the Qin people are fighting, the whole people will be soldiers, and no one will be outside. If Qin dies, what reason do the Qin people who can’t even save their own country survive in the world? Instead of being Zhao Slave, it’s better to be a Qin ghost!”
He pointed to his feet and swore: “If Zhao Wuxi has the ability, he will step over the corpses of two or thirty thousand people. The loser has nothing to complain, and the gate of Yongcheng will be opened for him; but if we are lucky enough to win, Then Zhao Guo has to be careful, I am old Qin, I will report the national shame, blood will not dry, and death will not be a truce!”
“Crazy, crazy!”
Young Master Thorn took a few steps back, and was frightened and scared away from the crazy old concubine. He now understands that he can’t persuade the man in front of him no matter what.
Young Master Thorn, whose confidence was shattered by Zhao Wuxi’s series of tricks, could no longer understand Zipu’s spirit of preferring jade to pieces rather than tiles. In his opinion, how to survive and dormant under Qiang Zhao’s wings is the most important thing…
His son Thorn is not a coward either! He will take responsibility for the decisions he makes!
Taking out Wu Xianyuhuan, which was a token of the prince of Qin, he said sternly, “Since the chief of the concubine does not listen to persuasion, then I, as the prince of Qin, ask the chief to stop the army!”
Zipu was unmoved and said proudly: “With the armor on his body, no one can give orders to this old man except the emperor.”
After a moment of silence, Young Master Thorn gritted his teeth and raised his head.
“What if, I am now the monarch of Qin!?”
Zipu’s complexion suddenly changed, as if a strong shield woven with great effort was easily broken open by the enemy’s sharp spear.
“Prince’s words…what do you mean?”
“Master, you don’t have to hide it from the boy anymore.” Tears flashed in the son’s dazzling eyes, and he took off his outer clothes, revealing the plain white inside.
“My father died of illness in Dazheng Palace half a month ago. The news, the great concubine can hide the news from the soldiers of the three armies, so he thinks he can hide it from the people of Zhao, and can he hide it from me?”
After pondering, Zipu said, “Prince, how did you find out.”
“There are Zhao Hou’s spies everywhere in Yongcheng, even in the Dazheng Palace. The speed of news reaching Zhao Hou’s office is no slower than that of quickly arriving at Qin camp… As long as this news is spread by Zhao Hou, Qin The army is bound to be shaken and collapsed without a fight. Chief Shun, you are already defeated!”
“Yes, this old man… is defeated.”
Seeing that the news that he had worked hard to conceal was exposed, Zipu smiled bitterly. He sat back on the couch weakly. He was seventy years old, and after being seriously injured, he had to bear the burden of the entire Qin state. He was really tired.
“Using the prince to defeat the old man himself, Zhao Wuxi’s strategy is really vicious. In the end, the old man is loyal, but the public office does not accept the old man’s love?”
Facing Zipu, who was ten years old again, Young Master Shi was full of guilt, but he wiped away his tears and said, “My first son only has one son, and now, you have only two paths, the first one. , that is, kill me on the spot, appoint someone else as king, and take the Qin people to die.”
Zipu didn’t respond for a long time, and it was impossible to kill Sijun and establish a new one.
Young Master Thorn breathed a sigh of relief, and solemnly announced: “If this is the case, then I will take the position in the army and be the seventeenth monarch of Qin. The army surrenders!”
For a long time, Young Master Thorn thought that he was a Qin man covered in Zhao Ren’s skin, but now, he suddenly realized that he was probably thinking wrong, he was just a self-confessed Qin native, but his inner qualities had long been obscured by Yecheng’s customs. The assimilated Zhao people…
When he was in Yecheng, he was also fortunate enough to visit the academy and listen to the public debates of the scholars from the Zhao country, praise and criticize people, spread their own cultural ideas, examine things, Taoism, Confucianism, law, and work. If you want to count, there are nine Stream ten.
Among them, there is a relatively special genre, known as novelists. These people have no other hobbies and like to make up stories. Because these people are mainly people from the country of Zheng, the object of satire has become the Song Dynasty that Zheng people hate the most. people……
They encouraged the growth of the seedlings, the savages offered exposure, and waited for the rabbits. The folk stories of Zheng Di mocking the Song people were collected by them and widely circulated.
The people of Song had a lot of power in Yecheng, so naturally they didn’t want to be outdone, and started to fight back. What Zheng people bought shoes and returned pearls, they made Zheng people black and black. Beautiful landscape.
Of course, more stories are aimed at the Chu people in the south.
Carving a boat to seek swords, superfluous, contradicting oneself, Lord Ye’s love for dragons… Some things that happened in Chu State were materialized into these stories, which became a joke for people in the Central Plains. It is said that many stories are still circulated from Changle Palace, and some people even say that the person who collected these stories is Zhao Hou, but this statement is scorned by most people.
But what impressed the son most deeply was a story called “acting for a tiger”.
“According to legend, the ghost of a person bitten to death by a tiger does not dare to go to other places, so it becomes a ghost beside the tiger. The ghost guides the tiger. When encountering hidden organs or traps on the road, Tell the tiger to change course. When a person encounters a tiger, his belt will be untied. This is all the work of a ghost. The tiger eats the human, and the ghost then eats its remains, so as to keep the soul alive…”
He now feels that he is a despicable ghost who has forgotten his roots, and Zhao Wuxi is that bloodthirsty tiger…
This time, he categorically rejected the jade-shattering tactics of the great concubine, and led the Qin people to give up their resistance.
On the same day, after Gongzi Ci relieved Zipu’s military power in the name of Xinjun, more than 20,000 Qin soldiers in Bashang Qin’s camp all disarmed and surrendered to Zhao’s army.
The Zhao army crossed Bashui one after another and captured the surrendering soldiers. Although the Qin soldiers were a little dejected, they felt relieved.
Because those who insisted on fighting to the death had already left with Zipu. There were more than 4,000 people in total, all of them were the children of the Gong clan and their clan soldiers who were unwilling to surrender. Unlike Chu and Zheng, the nobles of the Qin state were still staunch defenders of this state before they had time to corrupt. For their departure, the young master turned a blind eye. Although he insisted on obeying Zhao State and preventing Qin State from being completely destroyed, eggs cannot be put in one basket.
The next day, Zhao Wuxi also personally coached the main force to arrive in Bashang and met with the son.
“Young Master… No, it should be called Qin Jun now.”
He was very satisfied with Young Master Thorn’s choice. Even if the Qin people did not surrender, it only needed a decisive battle to destroy the dry and the dead, and the Qin land could still be captured, but he would have to sacrifice many Qin and Zhao soldiers in vain. After being the same Xuanniao, the brothers fight against the wall. If you can bleed less, then you should bleed less.
“Jun Qin made this decision to save millions of Qin people from military disasters, and he should be the next generation of Ming masters after Duke Mu of Qin!”
There is only one hope for Young Master Thorn: “I also hope that Junhou can fulfill his promise and retain Qin’s government. Qin is willing to be a Western vassal forever, and guard the western border for Junhou!”
“Since then, Zhao and Qin have become one family, and Qin, as Zhao’s small sect, will die together with Zhao! As long as Zhao does not die, Qin will survive in the world for one day.”
After saying this, Zhao Wuxi smiled again: “It’s just that, in the eyes of the widow, the Western Border doesn’t have to be defended, but to open up.”
After throwing down these inexplicable words, Zhao Wuxi let some people stay behind to guard and surrender, and disbanded the Qin people who were recruited from various places to return to their hometowns. He himself ordered Young Master Thorn to open the way with the black flag of Qin State, followed by an army of 100,000 to continue westward, preparing to occupy Yongdu and complete the merger of Qin State.
Thirty miles after leaving Bashang, Zhao Jun passed by an area on the south bank of the Wei River, where the land was fertile and Lilu was adjacent to each other.
For some unknown reason, Zhao Wuxi was moved, Zhu Ma asked Zhai Huang, “Where is this place?”
Zhai Huang replied: “Jun Hou, this is the old capital of Zongzhou, Haojing, but only the ruins are left.”
That’s right, Zhao Wuxi was relieved, this was the city where he lived for a long time in his previous life. The Bell and Drum Tower, the Forest of Steles, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, the fragrant Roujiamo, the oil-splashed noodles… Just like when he passed Huashan, countless memories emerged from his heart. These memories did not come from his mind, but were engraved in his soul. In the deepest part, although the second life is human, it is still as clear as new.
The trajectories of past and present lives overlapped here, and Zhao Wuxi couldn’t help but praised: “The fertile fields are thousands of miles away, the great rivers are circulating, and they are powerful and powerful in the world. “
Zhao Hou’s horse whip swung on this land, as if to draw the outline of the city more than 2,000 years later, he vowed: “After Zhao and Qin are reunited as a family, the widow will build a new Western Capital. Here, the name is…”
“Chang’an!”
