Spring and Autumn I Am King

ps: a little something, there is only one chapter today

Hundreds of horses wading through the water, slowly exposing their trunks from the river, and shaking their bodies to shake off the water stains after climbing to the shore, the scene was spectacular.

Zhao Jia allowed his subordinates to tidy up the saddle, and his attention was all on the somewhat blurred map, calculating which stream they had crossed, and he had to figure out where he was.

Under his request, Youcheng finally approved his plan. He originally planned to send more troops to follow, but Zhao Jia believed that his purpose was to investigate, not to fight. The more troops he brought, the easier it would be to be discovered. . Once deep into Qinchuan and being chased by Qin people, is there any difference between one hundred and two hundred?

So after crossing the Jingshui at night, the group went out at night, trying not to be discovered by the Qin people who were waiting for them.

The plain they traveled was the area north of Xianyang in later generations. Zhao Jun didn't know much about the intelligence of this area. The map was also collected and pieced together by Yidun's caravan through various channels.

It is far from the later cultural splendor and densely populated, but the small towns are scattered everywhere on the Wei level. If the Zhao army cavalry observes patiently, they can still see the spacious and straight "Zhou Dao". , there have been soldiers going eastward from this. They were young men who were summoned by Qin from the territory, and rushed to Weinan in order to defend the country. The Zhao army was confronting Qin's great concubine across the water.

Zhao Jia also saw the sturdy folk customs of the Qin people. Some Qin people who occasionally caught a glimpse of Zhao Jun's rangers not only did not hide, but instead glared at them with farm implements and weapons.

He didn't want to waste time, he avoided all the cities and towns along the way, and headed westward along the mountains and hills in the north. Compared with the riverside plains in the south, the terrain here is more rugged and difficult to navigate, but the advantage is that the ravines are vertical and horizontal, and it is easy to hide. whereabouts.

On the first day, they crossed Xielin, where the Jin army stopped at the Battle of Tension, and on the second evening, they left Hou Li, who had arrived after the Battle of Matun, behind them...

"It's not enough, we can still move forward." On the third day, when his soldiers asked for instructions whether to turn around, Zhao Jia categorically refused.

He has surpassed his predecessors, and now, what he wants to surpass is himself.

Zhao Jia looked towards the west eagerly. In the depths of the rolling hills, he could faintly see a peak that stood out from the crowd...

"Qishan, our goal is Qishan!"

...

"The phoenix is ​​roaring, and it is on the high hill. The phoenix tree is born, and it is rising in the sun."

Although he had read similar sentences in books many times, when he actually arrived at the foot of Qishan, Zhao Jia couldn't help but be amazed at the magnificence here. The morning sun shines on Qishan, its main peak is thousands of feet high, the rest of the mountains are also towering, the ridges are restored, the grass and trees are green, and the birds are singing.

As the saying goes, "the grandson of Houji, the great king of Shiwei. The Yang of Qi is the beginning of the business." He listened to the great sacrificial wine in the academy and said that Qishan was the place where the Zhou family was founded. In those days, Zhou people, as a rising clan, called themselves "Little State Zhou", far from being comparable to "Dayu merchants", but they relied on the Baili area south of the mountain to work diligently, cultivate and weave, and built a huge business. dynasty.

Later, it was occupied by Rong Di for a time, but then it was recovered by Qin people. Qin Degong officially moved the capital to Zhouyuan and called it "Yong". It has been two hundred years since then.

"That is to say, the capital of the Qin people is not far to the southwest of this mountain..."

After Zhao Jia explained this, his soldiers suddenly realized that after six days and six nights of hard work, he had reached such a far place!

They crossed Jing with a hundred horses and traveled 300 li to Qishan. One third of their horses died. Several people fell off their horses and died on the way. In addition to those who were accidentally captured by the Qin people and who left behind at night, there are only 80 left. ride.

Fortunately, the purpose of this trip has been completed, but the real adventure has only officially begun.

"I dare not say that I can bring everyone alive to obtain it. The second and third sons' actions will definitely be recorded in the annals of history and will be praised by future generations!"

After bowing to the ground to express his gratitude to the unkempt cavalry captains, Zhao Jia led them along the northern foot of Qishan Mountain. Their target was a nearby town called "Duyang"...

...

One day in late May, outside the small town of Duyang at the northern foot of Qishan Mountain, women and children were sparsely scattered in the golden fields, bending over to harvest the fields.

As the war intensified, the Zhao army entered Qin, and Uncle Qin was very frightened. He sent all the strong soldiers from each city to gather in Yongcheng, ready to fight to the death if the peace talks failed. Some women and children remain.

In May, the katydids move, and in June, the pheasants are vibrating. May and June are the harvest season of winter wheat. Although Qin does not plant winter wheat on a large scale like Jin and Lu, it is a good crop to alleviate the shortage of green and yellow, especially those like During this year's continuous military service season, those yellow and bright wheat are even more life-saving rations.

Men ploughing and women weaving, it is the norm to divide labor according to gender. Although the Qin women are quick to do farm work, but after a while, their backs and legs are sore. The child burst into tears.

The woman was about to turn her head and scold her when she saw dust and smoke filling the road in the distance. An army was coming from the east. Everyone rode on horses with murderous aura, and even a few horses ran towards this side. This is why the child was crying. ...

A hundred miles north of Du Yang, is the northern border of the Qin State. Qin State is surrounded by groups of Rongs on the west and north sides. Although Duke Mu of Qin still has the power to "dominate the Xirong", occasionally there will be poor and crazy people. The Yiqu and Kong Tongrong people came to loot, although the Qin people were not much richer than them.

Seeing the ranger approaching, the Qin women suddenly changed their colors, and Hu Zi eagerly hugged the child in his arms and fled in the opposite direction. However, there are also those who are calm and daring, looking at them for a while with their feet raised, and said, "This is not like a thief, but a soldier of Qin."

The Rong people like to have disheveled hair, and their cavalry have no saddles, but these rangers are clearly armored, well-armed, and have China's iconic hairpins on their heads.

However, those cavalrymen quickly proved that they were not good people. After dismounting, they lit the torches they carried with them and threw them into the fields from the roadside. The dry wheat stalks and ears caught fire, and with the help of the wind, they burst into flames. The entire wheat field is raging with flames...

At this time, even the women were howling and crying. Some people fled even faster, while others were reluctant to part with the fields. They turned back and waved their shabby clothes, trying in vain to put out the fire, while scolding the beasts who set fire to the dead.

There was Zhao Qi who couldn't bear this scene, and turned his face away to show pity, but Zhao Jia did not waver easily. The war was ruthless, and it caused huge panic behind the enemy. This was his goal of going deep alone this time, so all the means were used. pole.

After he let the cavalry under his command set the field on fire, the group began to gather towards Duyang. The population of the town was only 300 households, and all the men were concentrated in Yongcheng. Mai, the gate of the city was wide open, and it was too late to react. The old and weak, women and children could only watch dozens of cavalry Zhao soldiers break into the city.

The resistance did not last long, and Du Yang soon fell. The lord of the town was killed by being tied to a wooden post. The local Lu Bu, which was used to announce the decree of the Qin ruler and the concubine, was torn off and dipped in the blood of the lord, Zhao. Jia thought for a while, and then wrote on it like a dragon and a snake...

And after his subordinates expelled the people in the town, another fire set the entire small town on fire. Even in Yongcheng, dozens of miles away, Ye Yuan could faintly see the fire from Qibei...

...

One day after the fire in Duyangyi was lit, the Qin capital Yongcheng, Dazheng Palace.

There was a loud noise, and the files on the case table were shaken to the ground, and the Qin doctors in the hall hung their heads and looked miserable...

"There is no police on the border. If Zhao Jun hadn't set fire to Du Yang, the widow would not have known that they were already in the city!"

Qin Bopan was unforgivable, and he was angry with the ministers when he was filming the case. He had only been on the throne for four years, but he happened to encounter the biggest crisis since Qin Guoli. Is ten years old.

Originally, he thought that although the Qin army was defeated, it was fortunate that the country was rich in resources. The entire six hundred miles from Hexi to Qiyang, the Zhao army did not come so quickly. Figure, can sit down and give Qin a chance to negotiate.

But Du Yang's fire completely woke Qin Bopan. Just when he thought that the enemy was far away, Zhao Qi had already kicked his nose and face, and showed his might to him near Yongdu!

Moreover, Zhao Jun, who burned Du Yang, also left something behind, which made Uncle Qin furious, but he was frightened...

The declaration was written on Du Yangyi's dew cloth, and the pure black cloth was covered with dense blood:

"Before the Zhao family, he shared the ancestors with Qin. Yin Xiangfeilian had two sons, one of them was called Eilai, who served the emperor Xin, and was killed by Zhou. It is for Qin. The younger brother of Eilei is called Ji Sheng, and his descendant is the emperor Yuzhe, who is Zhao. Ji Sheng's great-grandson's father-in-law helped King Mu of Zhou to return to the west and returned to the east, and made great achievements in destroying King Xu Yan. , henceforth the Zhao clan. At that time, the ancestors of Qin were the emperors, Yu and Mu, who had no clan and no fief, so they used the favor of the father, Daluo and Feizi were both entrusted with the city of Zhao, and Zhao was the clan..."

"At that time, Qin and Zhao were like a family. After that, Duke Xiang of Qin was listed as a feudal lord, and the Zhao family entered Jin as a minister. They also worked together as one.

"However, today Qin Bo is immoral, obscene and procrastinating, and he is not afraid of the emperor. He is tyrannical and innocent on the inside. , entered my river east, attacked my Xinjiang, I had the battle of Longmen and Han. Qin Yu did not fight, and then led the Nanman (Chu State) to attack me Luhun, Jian me outside the river, and wanted to destroy the Zhao family temple and destroy my people. I believe that in the battle of Fengling Crossing, tens of thousands of Qin soldiers could not return to their hometowns, all of which are Qin's fault!"

"Today, the upper minister of the Zhao clan, obeying the order of the emperor and God~www.readwn.com~ but respectfully exercising the punishment of heaven, unifying all the power of Jin, and commanding the division to cross the river to approach Jingwei. Zhang Jin is angry, dressed as a soldier at the bottom of the armor, with a flag 100,000 points directly to Yongcheng, we are the forerunners of Shangqing, burn down the small town of Er, to warn: If Qin’s society is in danger, and the seven temples and temples are soil tiles, it is not the Zhao family who dares to forget Boyi and Feilian, but Qin’s predecessors. To my best!"

When the doctor of Qin State finished reading this letter, the entire Dazheng Palace was silent. This style of writing imitates the "Book of Jue Qin" of the year, but the writer did not mention the state of Jin and the ruler of Jin at all. Instead, the whole article featured Zhao Shi and Zhao Wuxi as the protagonists, directly taking the identity of the Qing, on an equal footing with Qin Bo. Called.

Not to mention that this person's ability to confuse black and white is quite a true biography of Lu Xiang, just say that the threat of "the Qin Dynasty is in danger, and the seven temples are ruins" has become a reality with the fire of Du Yang!

Qin Bopan gritted his teeth for a while, and finally said: "Quickly send someone to Weinan to inform the great concubine of the matter, and at all costs, we must reach peace with the Zhao family and let them retreat, other than that..."

He tried hard to hide his fear, and said bitterly: "The survivors of Du Yang said that the number of Zhao riders is not many, but only a hundred. Pass my edict, and let Qibei Misu and other cities send out carts and riders to chase down this group of daring people. Zhao Bing, Qin State can be defeated, can ask for peace, and can accept Zhao Wuxi’s conditions, but these pawns who despise our Qin State must all be killed!” (To be continued.)
