Spring and Autumn I Am King

In the late autumn, the weather is getting colder and the trees are withering. Looking around, I can see the forest trees are slender, and there is a pale red river flowing through the mountains. This river originates from the undulating Danzhuling Mountains hundreds of miles away in the north, where it joins the mountains and rivers of Shangdang and descends from north to south. Whenever there is a heavy rain, the water level rises by two or three feet, the floating sand is red and ochre, and the water flows like a dan, so the locals call it "dan water".

There is a small village in the upper reaches of Danshui, under the rule of the Hyun family, called "Changping". There are dozens of simple savages in the village. The whole village has worked together to reclaim several hundred mu of thin fields. They are self-sufficient and rarely leave. .

However, their peaceful life was shattered in the fall of this year, and the civil war that burned all over Jin did not spare them, and it soon burned here. One day, the villagers were horrified to discover that their hometown was already in the middle of a battlefield.

The first to suffer were the four neighboring villages, which were originally heard of chickens and dogs, but never communicated with each other. Now they are all deserted. People from Changping went out to have a look, and found that many houses were burnt into ruins by the flames, and only coke-like beams and pillars were left scattered. The houses that were not burned were full of thorns, and had become a gathering place for jackals and dogs.

Afterwards, scouts on horses and carts came and went, and skirmishes broke out around the village from time to time. After more than ten battles, large and small battles, broken corpses that were bitten by wild beasts could be seen everywhere in the open field, and large groups of carrion-eating crows patrolled the feast, making unpleasant chirping sounds.

This terrified the villagers, who eventually chose to flee as the war drew closer to where they lived.

Little did they know that when they were leaving their hometown, there was a general with deep eyes, who was standing at the head of the city of Hyun Clan, looking over here.

Zhao Wuxi was wrapped in a big cloak, and looked at the mountains and mountains in the Shangdang Mountains of the Han family in the west of the Danshui River Valley, as well as the village at the center of the battlefield.

"Changping, Changping" he said the name there, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Historically, the Warring States two powerhouses Qin and Zhao refused to do so. Changping was a disgrace to Zhao. It was the beginning of their transition from prosperity to decline. 400,000 Zhao people died here. In the next two thousand years, they can still survive in the mountains and ravines. Find countless skeletons and mutilated weapons.

That battle finally determined the historical trend of the end of the Warring States Period. The losers never recovered, and the winners relied on the prestige of victory. Within a few decades, they rallied into the imperial palace, swallowed two weeks and killed the princes, ending the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Destiny? Or it may be a coincidence that in the historical line that was deeply changed by Zhao Wuxi, the civil war in Jin, which lasted for nearly four years, is also very hopeful to end in Changping.

"Map." He said lightly, and Feng Rin, who was already prepared behind him, came over and spread out the map on the table, which was already filled with red and black dots and arrows.

Zhao Wuxi paced over and frowned to watch. As more and more troops gathered, including the civilians who continued to transport baggage, the number of Zhao's side was close to 60,000, and the enemy's side was also close to 50,000. If a war begins, This should be a battle of 100,000 people!

"One hundred thousand people gathered more than ten princes in the battle of Jin, Chu, and Yanling, and it was only on this scale." There was a young general in white rhino armor standing beside Zhao Wuxi, and there was a strong Nanyin when he spoke. His name is Wang Sunsheng, and he joined Zhao two years ago. His noble status has shocked the officials and officials. This person is actually the grandson of King Chu Ping, the son of Prince Jian, and the nephew of the current King of Chu. .

However, what Zhao Wuxi cares more about is his other identity: Wu Zixu's adopted son, who grew up in Wu State when he was a child, but was not trusted by Wu people. Speaking of his brother-in-law, as the honeymoon period between Zhao's family and Wu Guo ended, he gradually became distrusted, especially Wu Zixu was the most suspicious of him, Xing Ao was in a difficult situation, and he already had the idea of ​​returning to the north. , it's time to call him

If you ask who Zhao Wuxi is most afraid of, it is Wu Zixu, a tenacious avenger, a virtuous prime minister who worked hard for Wu Guoqiang.

Even just out of admiration for him is enough for him to keep Wang Sunsheng by his side. What's more, if I remember correctly, this Wang Sunsheng is the future Bai Gongsheng, the ancestor of Tushen Baiqi.

Bai Qi, Zhao Kuo, Chang Ping

Thinking of Wang Sunsheng's faint connection with this place, Zhao Wuxi laughed dumbly. That's right, he is the best witness to this war.

Wang Sunsheng didn't know what Zhao Wuxi was thinking, but he was still analyzing the war situation seriously. It could be seen that he was indeed very talented after being taught by words and deeds of Wu Zixu and Sun Wu. The enemy almost became the king of Chu.

"A battle of this scale is very different in breadth and time-consuming than a small battle. The two sides face off across the Danshui Valley. Our base camp is the Hyun clan, while the base camp of the enemy commander Zhiyao is in Guanglang City, north and south. Tens of miles, more than ten miles from east to west, are all battlefields.”

Zhao Wuxi nodded. He was right. In terms of time, the two sides have been facing each other for almost three months since the Pioneer arrived here.

The Zhao army attacked here from the eldest son and Taigu. The striker Tian Benbu defeated the Zhi clan's defenders stationed in the Hyun clan and drove them all the way to Guanglang City. Zhiyao's response was not slow, and he quickly defeated Tian Ben, who rushed forward, and drove him to the east of Danshui. The two sides continued to increase troops in this area, so it gradually developed into the current large-scale confrontation.

The offense and defense of Qin and Zhao in the Battle of Changping in history completely lost their place.

Correspondingly, the financial resources and food consumed by the army are also a huge amount. If Zhao Wuxi endured three autumns and let the government store a year of food, plus the claims obtained from Qi, Wei, Cao, and Ju, if not Ji Ran's plan is within his means, I'm afraid he can't support this war

So he can be sure that his opponent is definitely more difficult!

Zhao Wuchun smiled and said: "So far, the Zhi clan has suffered a loss, just when the energy of the other generation was attracted here, last month, the postmaster Sima has recovered Jinyang, and if we drag it on, maybe Zhiyao will die. I have to receive an emergency from Xinjiang. This is also the reason for the abnormal movements of the enemy recently, and Zhiyao can't hold back anymore."

At this moment, Zhiyao must find an opportunity to take the initiative to attack, otherwise, he can only be held back by Zhao Jun here! Although their food was to be transported from the east of Taihang, the Zhi clan only had one Hedong and Hexi left, and they could not fully control them. Zhao Wuxi had Hanoi, Hebei, Weiguo, Luguo, Songguo, Sishang, and he could even buy grain from the Zhou family! Demolition of the east wall to make up the west wall can also consume them alive!

Seeing the decisive battle~www.readwn.com~ he was filled with pride and said to Wang Sunsheng:

"Two years ago, I was the enemy of the whole world, and now, my enemy is also in the same situation."

Feng Rin responded with a smile and said, "Jin has three points, and the general has also won two."

Wang Sunsheng also said: "Of course, now we only need to wait for the Han army to arrive with the last batch of soldiers and food, and our army will have everything ready, just waiting for the enemy to bump into it." Han Buxin is dead, and now Han Hu has become the Han family. The owner of the family, for the land promised by Zhao Wuxi after the victory, he could only grit his teeth and squeeze the last bit of war potential of the Han family and join in. Speaking of which, the battle of Changping in history has nothing to do with South Korea. Unfortunately, the other protagonist, Qin State, was in the chaos and silence after the death of Duke Ai of Qin. .

This reminded Zhao Wuxi, he turned his head to Feng Rin and said, "Prepare paper, ink, pen and inkstone, I want to write a letter to my sworn brother, I need his help!"

The battle of Changping two or fifty years later was the death knell for the decline and fall of the Zhao state. This time, it was the Zhao clan who announced the rise, unified the state of Jin and finally turned the family into a country. Moreover, Zhao Wuxi swore that the battle of Changping, There will only be this one and only time! He will win even by unscrupulous means! (To be continued.)
