Love Warriors Cong Liangji

——The First Emperor Yingzheng.

There is no human in this land who does not know this name.

Since the "Son of Heaven" lost its authority, the princes were in turmoil, which began and lasted for hundreds of years. In the troubled times, seven overlords gradually grew up: Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei, and Qin.

Although there are strong and weak points, but there is no real weak. They attack each other, check and balance, and form alliances.

Every country has its own time of great prosperity, but there will also be a moment of decline and near subjugation, and in the end it continues unbelievably.

Probably, in these hundreds of years of troubled times, the people living on this land have developed unimaginable resilience, and they have the courage to stand up and resist no matter what adversity they face.

No matter which country, when it encounters a crisis, it is always easy for some outstanding figures to save it all.

Then, as a matter of course, under this fierce competition, the state and the form of war are constantly changing. From the Spring and Autumn Period that still abides by benevolence and justice, to the Warring States that completely collapsed and became a world of great conflicts, I don’t know how many things happened in the middle The ups and downs are like the epitome of human history.

In terms of the number of "heroic spirits" and legendary stories, the degree of "prosperity" during this period is probably at the forefront in the entire history of mankind.

As a result, unimaginable monsters were bred at the end of the era...

This does not refer to a certain country or a certain king, but the product of the combination of a specific country and a specific king.

Before this, no one thought that the World of Great Controversy would end in this way.

In this era and in the more distant past, it is not that there have been wise and powerful monarchs, and powerful countries abound, even powerful teams that sweep the world are not uncommon.

However, none of them could maintain their hegemony, nor did they have the power to end this troubled world.

No one will deny the ability of talents like Guan Zhong, Le Yi, Sun Wu, and Wu Qi, nor will they question the courage of the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons. There may be many limitations hindering them, but what they can't do is what they can't do .

Although the inner reason cannot be explained clearly in a few words, the consensus in this era is the same: what was in the past will be the same in the future, there may be ups and downs, but the world of great controversy will not change.

until that person appeared.

Prior to this, perhaps the most courageous monarchs only aimed at "common masters of the world" to make all countries submit, and in essence they were only advanced versions of the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons.

This is definitely not a lack of ambition, it can only be said to be common sense in this era.

However, "he" destroyed this common sense without interest, and started his own brutal and fearsome conquest.

After more than ten years, the troubled times that lasted for hundreds of years ended, and he became the veritable Supreme and the only "Son of Heaven" in the world.

Abandoning the title of the king and honoring the emperor, abolishing allotments and setting up prefectures and counties, writing with the same text and cars on the same track, conquest of Baiyue and defeating the Xiongnu-everything is enough to leave an indelible mark in history, and it is the same in fact .

Many kings of later generations, most of them will hardly achieve great achievements comparable to any of them throughout their lives, and there are very few who can compare with them in terms of merit.

Especially in this era, in the hearts of the people who can experience his oppression firsthand, his image transcends human limitations and reaches God...or the opposite.

His power is so unshakable that he can unscrupulously introduce changes that completely subvert everything, while opponents are not even qualified to let him look.

That being the case, it is only natural to be resented by others.

Of course, he is a talented and generous monarch, but he is also an out-and-out tyrant-these two points are not contradictory.

The people of later generations will probably discover his greatness and praise him, but in this era, fear and resentment towards him have long been buried in the hearts of the people.

This is nothing more than a normal thing, and even objectively speaking, it is "justice" to have resentment against it.

From the perspective of "Qin", this is a great conquest.From the perspective of later generations, this is the basis of "Great Unification".

But in the eyes of the people of the six countries that were destroyed at that time, this was simply being invaded, plundered, and dominated.

The king was beheaded, imprisoned, and exiled, the clan was used as a servant, the dignity and life of the people were ruthlessly trampled, and even their own writing could not be preserved.

Could it be that our children and grandchildren want to serve the enemies who killed our relatives, use their words and languages, and completely forget their ancestors? There should be many people who think so.

From this perspective, they are the ones who occupy the righteousness.

It's just that he was afraid of the emperor's authority, so he didn't dare to resist.

If the emperor could really live forever, then it would be possible to use time to make the people forget their hatred, but he died, like an ordinary person.

It turns out that the "emperor" is not a real god - how many people will be relieved?

As a matter of course, the unresolved hatred began to erupt, and the extremely powerful empire immediately fell into disintegration.

It's not just confusion over incompetent successors—perhaps some, but not all.

The reason is very simple, this is just the mourning that still remains from the last era... the troubled times ended by Emperor Shihuang himself.

An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. If you are robbed, you will take it back. If your relatives are killed, you will retaliate twice. Anger dominates everyone in this era.

Qin was angry, the remnants of the Six Kingdoms were angry, and the people who were involved in the peaceful life were also angry. Although the reasons were different, they could only become a field of Shura fighting each other in the end.

understand each other?What a joke!

Without equal retaliation, no one will be able to stop.

However, even if it is brutal, this is on the "right" track.

If the rotation is carried out in the normal order, then this land will be reunited after the violent and short-term turmoil, and it will start a unified pattern for nearly four hundred years, and even become the brand of a nation.

— but history turns out a little differently here.

The Xiongnu, who were originally defeated during the period of Qin Shihuang, so unable to intervene in the chaos in the Central Plains, and did not recover until the world was unified, unexpectedly began to invade the Central Plains not long after the death of the First Emperor.

The Xiongnu is a nomadic people who live by water and grass, but they are not completely rootless. In fact, they also have a fairly sound system (compared to other nomadic peoples of this era), and even have a rudimentary empire. It is precisely because of this that it competed against the Han Empire.

However, it would have taken decades of accumulation to achieve this. After all, they had just been severely injured by the Great Wall Guard Corps... No one expected to return to the top so soon.

Moreover, its interior seems to be completely different, and even its appearance has changed to a certain extent.

The custom of the Xiongnu advocates white, so the Huns who went south are also called the White Huns.

Under the command of the leader named "Bai Di Ji", they crossed the Great Wall defense line, overthrew the guard army, and quickly occupied several important states and counties in the north.

Perhaps it seems strange that a Hun should be called Baidiji instead of "Chanyu", but it is said that this is what the person called himself, which makes people speechless.

At this time, the wave of revenge from the six kingdoms of Shandong was also in full swing. Qin lost its dominance over two-thirds of the territory in just two years, and shrunk its troops to focus on defending the base of Guanzhong.

The leader of the Six Kingdoms Uprising Army was a Chu man named Xiang Ji, and the color of Chu was still red, so the army's robes also used red as the main tone.

In addition, Qin has been black since ancient times.

Therefore, the situation where Qin (black), Xiongnu (white), and Chu (red) confronted each other at this time can also be called "three-color world"!

"... black symbolizes the virtue of water among the five elements, while white and red are gold and fire respectively.

You know, almost all the spiritual veins in this land operate according to the laws of the five elements, but the current pattern of the three-color world has faintly disturbed the proportion of the five elements, leading to confusion in the spiritual veins, and even affecting the sky. "

In the end, Xiaoyu concluded: "All in all, a man-made disaster has turned into a natural disaster. Although it is rare, it has not happened before."

PS: There is almost no plot in this chapter, all are personal opinions and background introductions, so it may seem watery...

However, I think it is necessary to set the background.

Chapter 229: Clouds of War

Jiang Liu heard a lot of things from Xiaoyu along the way, and he has a general understanding of the basic situation of this era.

Now, with the help of God, the White Huns have occupied the original territories of Yan and Wei, as well as the smaller half of Zhao, and are at loggerheads with the Qin army in Changping.

The reason why the famous place "Changping" was chosen is because this is the so-called place of victory. If you want to expand each other's territory, you can't get around here anyway. Qin and Zhao fought decisively here Nor is it a mere coincidence.

In addition, Zhao General Lianpo built a large-scale fortress here to defend the Qin army. Although it is not as good as the Great Wall, it can still guard the danger. cavalry.

It's just that if Lian Po himself knew that the fortifications used to defend against the Qin army were now being used by the Qin people, his mood would probably be quite complicated.

Qin, on the other hand, firmly held on to the basic territory of Guanzhong, and still occupied more than half of the original Chu State and South Korea, and fought with the Allied Forces of the Six Nations on the front line of the original Chu State Yingdu.

The rest is the Allied Forces of the Six Nations, which occupies more than half of Qi State, less than half of Chu State, and the land of Wuyue... It is said to be a coalition army, but in fact it is Qi State who sends troops and money, and Chu State sends generals and commanders State, the other countries have no territory, only the nominal descendants of princes.

There is actually Baiyue further south, which originally belonged to Qin, but after the traffic was cut off, it seemed that it had the idea of ​​independence, so it did not become an enemy of the Allied Forces of the Six Nations, and the Six Nations did not care about it.

It's as if there are actually hundreds of tribes in the west of the Xiongnu and Qin Dynasty-as long as they don't come to make trouble, just leave it alone for the time being.

The three forces border each other and are hostile to each other. However, due to the accumulated grievances between the Six Nations and Qin for generations, they are more hostile to Qin than the White Huns (it is also related to the fact that the Allied Forces of the Six Nations are dominated by Chu and Qi—the White Huns occupy the Not their territory.)

The White Huns treated Qin and the six countries as equals, and attacked regardless of priority.

As for Qin, it meant taking the geographical and natural dangers step by step, defending the basic territory, striving for the outer territories, and then watching the success or failure of the world.After all, the Guanzhong area is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Hangu Pass also brought them a huge sense of security.

The place where Xiaoyuhe lived was near Daliang, the capital of the original Wei State. However, when Qin conquered the Six Kingdoms, Daliang was flooded, and countless civilians, soldiers and civilians were reduced to fish and turtles. The plains, and then Qin moved people from other places to resettle here to enrich the population and open up wilderness.

Naturally, many unspeakable things happened during this process. Only six out of ten immigrants survived, but they settled down no matter what.

However, just after more than ten years of stable life, they have grown into a generation, and the first emperor died, and the world changed, and they were pushed to the brink of extinction.

Even without considering the natural disasters and monsters, this place is about to become a battlefield. It is said that the army of the White Huns has already begun to confront each other in Yangdi, the land of the former Han, and it is possible to start a war at any time.

"The world is really not peaceful."

Jiang Liu frowned and said, "The situation here is much more complicated than the history I know... No, it's nothing, I'm just talking to myself."

"Well, the world is indeed very uneven. After the first emperor destroyed the six kingdoms, although the corvee labor was very hard, after all, there was no large-scale war, and it was considered stable for a while, but this happened before he could recover, alas."

Xiaoyu's mood became depressed, and the tail behind her buttocks was drooping and swaying back and forth.

"The villagers who enshrine me have recently thought about moving out if they can't survive, to see if they can find a stable place to live, but where can they find such a place now?"

"It doesn't sound like an easy task."

While speaking, Jiang Liu's expression was startled, and he suddenly raised his head thoughtfully, looking towards the east.

"Xiaoyu, just now you said that there are armies of the White Huns and Qin near here, and there may be a war at any time, right?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

"...that's just unfortunate."

For a moment, there was a sound like thunder rolling from a distance, and a faint white line appeared at the end of the horizon, and after a while, even the ground shook.

"Huns, Huns!"

Xiaoyu immediately became nervous, and the hair on her tail stood up suddenly.

"And there are so many more!"

"Don't be afraid, these guys are not coming for us."

Jiang Liu pressed the fox-eared girl's shoulders and comforted, "They didn't even notice us."
