I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 312 It turns out that Qin is so weak

Where is this place called "Dali"?It is on the west bank of the big river, surrounded by Luoshui and Weishui, which can be regarded as the confluence of three rivers.

Logically speaking, "Dali" is the border between Jin and Qin, so should Qin's army go east to attack there first?
However, for a long time, most of the battles between the large corps of the Jin army and the Qin army were concentrated near "Jiaogang" in the northwest of Jin State. On the contrary, there were only a handful of battles in the west of Jin State.

In fact, to put it bluntly, the terrain near "Dali" is too complicated. There are three rivers converging at the same time, and there are many surrounding mountains, which is really not suitable for large corps to deploy.

In the era when the two countries agreed on the location of the battle, and the two sides were fighting in battle, the terrain was not wide enough to be used as a battlefield, and it was definitely not a place where the mountains and forests were densely covered.

to the back?The state of Qin was shrunk to the west by the state of Jin. Even in the era when the war of gentlemen ceased, the Qin army did not move east for a while. Naturally, it would not use the complex terrain of "Dali" as a battleground. The venue is up.

Zhiyao knows that if the history has not been changed, fierce battles will break out again and again on "Dali" in the future. get stopped.

Before the era belonging to Zhiyao came, that is, before 500 years ago, the reason why Qin State repeatedly went east and chose to invade from the northwest of Jin State was very realistic. While being able to attract Bai Zhai as an ally, the terrain in the northwest of Jin State was even better. It is especially suitable for countries or forces with sufficient horses, such as Qin and Bai Zhai, to use as an invasion route.

It is not yet the Warring States Period, and it is impossible to see the Great Wall of Wei State near "Dali". There are mountains and forests everywhere as far as the eye can see.

Yes, that's right, Wei Guo also built the Great Wall. The reason why it is not famous is that it was demolished later.

The first country to build the Great Wall was actually Chu State. They built the first Great Wall in Zhuxia in Henan, but Chu people called it "Fangcheng", with a total length of about [-] miles.There is a city called Fangcheng in later generations. The origin of the name is that Chu State built the Great Wall nearby, and the name "Fangcheng" has been handed down.

As for the latter, why didn't a city wall with a length of tens or hundreds of miles become Fangcheng?Who let the Chu people lose the battle? Their civilization has not been completely passed on.

Do you know which country was the second to build the Great Wall?He is the state of Qi, with a total length of 1000 and [-] miles.

The following countries that built the Great Wall are ranked in no particular order. They followed the example of Chu State and built long walls to resist the enemy. Among them, Qin State built the longest Great Wall to resist the increasingly powerful Yiqu people, and later used it to resist Yuezhi. People, and finally turned into a city defense system against the Huns.

The Qin people were so afraid of Yiqu people that they needed to build the Great Wall?Do you think that Qin State is Jin State, like Jin State, which has annexed several countries and forces in less than 50 years, and can beat all dissatisfied countries before it rises to be split?not really.

From the very beginning, Qin State was really not very eye-catching. Even if Jin State split into Zhao, Wei, and Han countries, even South Korea could bully Qin State at first, and later it was hanged by Wei State and repeatedly smoked.

That kind of Qin State is afraid of Yiqu people. There is nothing strange about it. Not to mention that the pressure from the east is too great, forcing Qin State to draw more troops to deal with the east, and had to build a road extending from the west to the northeast. Department of the Great Wall.

Of course, the Great Wall from the late Spring and Autumn period to the Warring States period was not designated as the modern stone brick Great Wall, but was actually made of rammed earth. Some sections of the wall may only be two or three meters high, and the thickness is not much thicker.

The Great Wall known to modern people was built in the Ming Dynasty, and after the world revolution, it was rebuilt in modern times.Don’t go to Badaling and other parts of the Great Wall and say “Wow! Did Emperor Shihuang order it to be built?” Some tour guides will make the tour guide look confused and make people who know history smile.

Zhiyao is a person who has visited the "Fangcheng" of Chu State with his own eyes. He must admit that the Great Wall has played its due role, otherwise the capital of Chu State "Ying" will face the risk of falling for the second time. up.

Does the Great Wall need to be repaired?Anyway, there are different opinions, good or bad, almost all kinds of arguments.

From Zhiyao's point of view, they think that their generation doesn't need the existence of the Great Wall. If there is such a Great Wall, they don't know who to guard against, and it will even prevent the army from going to the grassland to gain harvest.

This is an era when the nomadic peoples are completely collapsed. Zhiyao feels that once the Zhi family develops in an all-round way, the countries will not be able to stop the Zhi family from annexing. rise up.

The fact seems to be like that?The weakest state of Yan in the Spring and Autumn Period was able to hold Donghu first, and then beat Donghu madly in the back. In the early and middle period of the Warring States period, Qin State mainly focused on going east and was bullied by Yiqu, Yueshi and Xiongnu in turn. Zhao Guo continued to bully nomadic groups.

I don’t mean to belittle Qin at all. The facts are those facts. Before the reform, Qin, which had not captured the land of Hexi and Bashu, was weak and barbaric. The head bag is a weird thing.

Take Zhiyao as an example, because he knew the "historical answer" a long time ago and had an "established impression", he looked at Qin more than anyone else.

So what is the situation?Isn't it just the premise of "knowing", and then having the impression of "preconceptions", so that Qin State is the powerful Qin State, ignoring the fact that Qin State was so weak in the past.

Let's put it this way, if the state of Qin is strong and able to handle multi-line warfare, is it necessary for King Qin Zhaoxiang's mother, Miyue, to give birth to King Yiqu?
As for the fact that Mi Yue and King Yiqu knew each other first, and the two are in love with each other, they are just like the novels.The truth of the facts has long been hidden under the premise of being taboo by the venerable, and future generations can only make various guesses based on the facts that happened.

Making it up that Miyue and the king of Yiqu are in love with each other is always weaker than the state of Qin and needs the mother of the king of a country to play beauty tricks, can it be more acceptable to people?
Just now Zhiyao listened to the report, saying that the envoys of the Jin State had gone to "Yong" to declare war on the monarch and ministers of the Qin State. The follow-up news spread that the Qin State had recruited three "armies". Seventeen thousand and five hundred soldiers gathered in the direction of "Ma Tunnel".

This "Ma Tunnel" is near Jingyang in the later generations. The former Jin State gathered princes to form a coalition army, and a great battle broke out with the Qin Army in the "Ma Tunnel".

In that "Battle of Hemp Tunnel", Cao Xuangong (named Lu), the monarch of Cao State, died under Liu Shi, and directly let Jin State take care of Cao State for five or 60 years. Victory ends.

"Qin people follow etiquette?" Zhiyao wanted to laugh when she heard that.

The rest of the people also looked like they had seen a ghost, and then laughed out loud.

What's the situation?In fact, it was Qin who invited the Jin army to go to the "Ma Tunnel" for a hunting meeting, pretending to be fighting a war of gentlemen.

Suddenly the reasonable Qin people really poked the Jin people's laughing point.

just right?Regardless of Qin's repeated sneak attacks on Jin, in fact, Jin attacked Qin first.

That is, the Qin State was about to attack the State of Zheng, and the news was discovered by the caravan of the State of Zheng and told the king and ministers of the State of Zheng, forcing the Qin army to attack the State of Hua instead. The ambush of the Jin army resulted in the annihilation of the entire army.

That battle was called the "Battle of Confusion", and it made the people of Qin completely hate Jin.Since then, Qin State has never talked about reason with Jin State, and used any method that works, and it also made Qin people addicted to playing.

This time, Qin State assembled [-] soldiers to challenge Jin State, and the appointment was still in a place like "Ma Tunnel"?
The "Ma Tunnel" can be regarded as a plain terrain, located on the east bank of the Jingshui. Qin Jun has not considered whether he can cross the Jingshui and not go back, or is he planning to play a backwater battle?How dare you use an army of [-] to challenge the Jin army, which has an army of [-]?

Han Geng put away his smile and asked, "Is there any fraud?"

Any conspiracies and tricks involving the national level, even if they are playing counterintuitive tricks, or sneak attacks, ambushes, etc., don't they still have to rely on strength to decide the outcome?
Zhiyao knew that there was a possibility of civil strife in Jin, and at the same time, Jin had a lot of external enemies. After thinking about it again and again, she decided that even if a civil strife broke out in Jin, it would not be under the control of the Qin people anyway.

So, did the State of Qin complete a deal with any country, and wanted to drag the two legions of the State of Jin into the "Ma Tunnel", or did the army of one or more countries enter the border of the State of Qin to hide, and wanted to play tricks on the Jin army? Ambush or encircle?

Don't think that it is easy to find out which countries secretly mobilized their troops to Qin.This is due to ignorance of the current pattern of the times, not knowing that too many places belong to no-man's land, and what really belongs to the effective rule of a certain country is the city as the radiation, and then connected by various "states".

Where there is no "city" or "state", there is no one, unless a traveler or a caravan happens to come across it, otherwise who knows what is there.

Therefore, it is really not difficult to march in concealment in the current era. The difficult part lies in how to continue to provide the logistical supplies of that army.

If it is said that Qin State is willing to take care of the logistics, is there any country willing to make Jin State uncomfortable at this time?It is estimated that there will be quite a few.

"Who dares to attack me?" When Han Geng heard Zhiyao's guess, he immediately became angry because of other emotions.

Zhiyao has a lot of guesses. Before there is no relevant evidence, guesses are just guesses.

For example, Chu State borders Qin State, and the friendship between Chu State and Qin State has been relatively long, and Qin State's appeal to Chu State for help was responded.

Another point is that even if Chu State does not send troops by itself, they can give excuses to countries that want to send troops.

A more realistic possibility is that Qin has a history of alliances with foreign races. It is really hard to say whether they will gather a large number of foreign races.

"If Qin thinks that it can defeat us with an army of nearly [-]? Their hearts must be so big. There must be some backup or support!" Zhiyao firmly believed in this.
