With the burning of Youwang's beacon, the nearly 300-year rule of the Ji Zhou Dynasty has gradually come to an end, and the princes from all walks of life have risen up to support themselves, and the situation of falling apart has been formed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, the shore of the land, and it is not the king's minister. With the collapse of the rule of the Zhou Dynasty, the hierarchical system of etiquette and music was almost abolished, and the princes and kings stood on their own to fight against Zhou Tianzi, who was sitting in Luoyi, but Zhou Tianzi's power declined and he had no authority to make the princes submit.

The Son of Heaven gradually lost his prestige, and the princes fought for power and profit, and disputes continued. Over the past hundred years, a small number of vassal states have gradually developed and grown through conquest, annexation, reform and Dingxin, the weak have been forced to fade out of history, and the strong have become more and more powerful. From the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons to experience the later three divisions and Jin gradually formed the current state of the Seven Kingdoms to compete for power, the interests of the countries are complex, the contradictions have accumulated for a long time, and the alliance may be a few days ago.

In the third year of King Wu of Qin, the national strength of Qin was growing, and King Wu gradually had the idea of winning the Central Plains to replace Zhou Tianzi, and ordered Zuo Xiang Gan Mao to attack Yiyang of Han and open the relatively weak gateway of Qin Dong to facilitate the army to force Luoyi.

In the autumn of the third year of King Wu of Qin, Gan Mao led 50,000 Qin troops to Yiyang.

Although South Korea is a rising country and strives to survive in the cracks of big countries, its people are healthy and prosperous, and its national strength is not weak. As one of the largest counties in South Korea, Yiyang is also a strong city, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and concentrates the troops and property of the two counties of Shangdang and Nanyang, which is called a county, but it should actually be a county. The Qin army sent troops thousands of miles to attack Yiyang, which did not occupy the right time and place, coupled with the long-distance attack, the soldiers were tired, and encountered the desperate resistance of the Yiyang defenders, which lasted five months and could not be attacked for a long time.

The battle lasted from the autumn harvest to the bitter winter of dripping ice, and the two armies also changed from the bloody battle at the beginning to the current tug-of-war, and the victory or defeat was determined by who could hold out first until the arrival of reinforcements.

Yiyang is besieged and is now a lonely city, the weapons in the city are insufficient, there is a shortage of food and grass, and the reinforcements have not arrived for a long time, seeing that it can't hold on for too long, in a hurry, King Han Xiang sent envoys to Wei, Zhao and Chu for help, but unexpectedly Gan Mao was fully prepared on the eve of the army's expedition. Although there was an alliance between Chu and Han, it was not stable enough, as long as Qin was slightly tempted by interests, Chu would not send troops to rescue, and Gan Mao, the two countries of Wei and Zhao, which were adjacent to Korea, also lobbied before the march, so that King Wei Xiang and King Wuling of Zhao refused to agree to send troops to help. In desperation, the Yiyang garrison had to fight to the end with the Qin army led by Gan Mao to wait for the reinforcements from the country to come to relieve the siege and seek a turnaround.

Ye Yi, where the Ye family surnamed Mi has lived for generations, was originally a descendant of Ye Gong Shen Yin Zhuliang who did not know how many generations he had branched. There are only a few people left in the Ye family to this generation, and the one in charge is Ye Shen, the eldest. At present, the number of people who have been fighting for years has withered, and the only men in the Ye family who can go to the battlefield now are Ye Shen's two newly adult sons, Ye Xu and Ye Ao. The eldest son Ye Yan died in the battle at the shore gate a few years ago, and now under the severe situation, the old man Ye is reluctant to watch the second and third sons go to Yiyang City.

On the day that Ye Xu and Ye Ao were leaving, the originally clear sky just after noon suddenly became gloomy, and after a while, a light snow fell, and it had a tendency to expand. However, the battle situation ahead is tight, and no matter how bad the weather is, it is necessary to march on time.

Ye Shen stood on the stone steps in front of the door, leaning weakly against the wooden door, craned his neck with a blank expression, and watched the team of hundreds of soldiers gradually move away. The tip of his nose and ears were red from the cold, as if he couldn't detect the cold, there seemed to be tears in his eyes, and the hands in his cuffs were rubbed together so carefully that his fingertips were slightly red.

Until the team completely disappeared from view, Ye Shen still refused to retract his gaze, and his slumped body remained motionless as if it was frozen. Sporadic snowflakes fell on the bunched hair, accumulating little by little. There were a few silver threads mixed in his black hair, and a few strands of hair were blown away by the wind, hanging down in front of his eyes, making his whole person look much more decadent and old at the moment.

Mrs. Ye Han Yuan on the side also stood there stiffly, her shoulders trembling slightly and sobbing in a low voice, secretly wiping her tears on her ethereal curved sleeves. At this time, the weather was harsh, and she felt sorry for her sons, who would suffer from the cold and cold all the way, and feared for their future, but she did not dare to complain too much in front of her husband, for fear that he would be angry and reprimand her woman's lack of knowledge.

Ye Shen looked up at the gloomy weather, sighed and sighed, and all the helplessness and bitterness could only be secretly swallowed back into his stomach. Born in such a troubled world, who can retreat with his whole body, only ask for the shade of his ancestors, and protect his sons to survive this catastrophe and return safely! Tightly knit brows, sunken eye sockets, Ye Shen took a deep breath and tried his best to contain the tears in his eyes before retracting his distant gaze, turned his head stiffly, looked at his wife with bloodshot eyes, was silent for a moment, pursed his dry lips, and then said in a hoarse and vicissitudes of life: "It's cold, go back." ”

Han Yuan, who was stunned, was suddenly taken aback by her husband's words, hurriedly wiped away the tears on her frozen red cheeks, and reluctantly lowered her head and followed Ye Shen into the house, with small steps, and looked back secretly from time to time every few steps.

Slowly, the snowflakes turned into snowflakes, like goose feathers, fluttering, slowly descending from the gloomy sky, fluttering and fluttering. The heavy snowfall in Yeyi was so rare that it rained from noon until the next morning, and the snow covered and hid the unclear footprints of the soldiers on the dirt road.

Thousands of miles away in the capital of the Qin king, the right prime minister saw that Yiyang could not be attacked for a long time, so he and Gongsun Yan played King Wu together in the name of 'the battle of Yiyang has been pending for a long time, and the Qin army was greatly injured', suggesting that the division return to the dynasty as soon as possible. This battle dragged on for five months, and there was a huge loss of manpower, financial and material resources, and King Wu immediately sent someone to urgently summon Gan Mao back to the court after listening to the advice of Zhu Liji. A few days later, the army did not move, and was still stationed outside Yiyang City, Gan Mao ignored the king's orders, and only brought back a handwritten letter from him. King Qin Wu was anxious, opened the letter and looked at it, there were only two words on the letter, and suddenly realized, remembered the 'Xiyang Alliance' that he had made with Gan Mao, and regretted it, so he no longer wavered, and sent 50,000 reinforcements to Ling Wu to lead to Yiyang to help.

A few days later, the thunderous momentum of the Qin army actually arrived in Yiyang before the reinforcements of the Korean army. Gan Mao's troops increased greatly, so he used Wushu as the vanguard to repel the Korean reinforcements, and then captured the lonely city of Yiyang in one go.

In the Battle of Yiyang, the Qin army killed more than 70,000 Korean troops, and South Korea was greatly injured and unable to resist and had to sue for peace with Qin. The Qin army occupied Yiyang, and the gate of Luoyang, the capital of Zhou, was opened.
