Chapter Ninety-Eight: Before the Hangu Pass
A few hours later, the 200,000-strong army set out, and sure enough, some people were happy and some were worried along the way. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Rejoicing are those fierce generals on the battlefield, thinking that they can finally kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions and glorify the court, while those who are worried are those scholars who have no ambitions and have been forcibly recruited.
Most of these people are powerless, and they have nowhere to use their ink.
Halfway through, Beichen also saw some clues, and asked General Zuo on the side, General Zuo laughed, waved his hand and said, "You just mean these cowards?" ”
"Bag?" Beichen blinked, puzzled.
"It's just a coward, they are all some powerless scholars, who were forcibly recruited in, and they started a war to coax one."
General Zuo's words led Beichen's eyes to flicker, and after a few breaths, he had an idea in his heart, and said to General Zuo on the side: "General Liu, you immediately gather these scholars now, form a team, and place them behind the 200,000 army, I have other uses!" ”
"General, these are all cowards, what's the use?" General Zuo looked surprised and hurriedly asked.
Beichen waved his hand and said with a smile: "They naturally have a wonderful use, if they are used, they can be comparable to a million male masters, haha......"
The left general arched his hand and respectfully went down to arrange, at this time, Liu Shaoqing, the deputy general not far away, strode over, still carrying a person in his hand, Beichen thought of a possibility, and immediately had a headache.
"Brother Bei, this person wanted to escape, but I caught him."
Liu Shaoqing walked over, and as Beichen expected, this person wanted to escape on the march, but was captured by Liu Shaoqing.
slapped his forehead, Beichen had an incomparably headache, staring at Liu Shaoqing who wanted to cry without tears, at this moment he had the heart to kill this Mo family, and the deliberate game was destroyed by Liu Shaoqing!
With a black face, Beichen couldn't say anything at this time, so he could only nod vigorously.
After a few breaths, he gritted his teeth, walked up to the fleeing Qin soldiers, and asked, "Who are you, and who do you want to send when you escape?" ”
"Humph!" Qin Bing, who was kneeling on the ground, snorted coldly, looked to the side with a stubborn expression, and didn't say a word.
Beichen was not angry, dismounted and walked to this person's side, and said lightly: "If you don't say it, I will kill you, kill your parents, and kill your wife and children!" ”
Speaking of this, Beichen looked at this Qin soldier and muttered, "You said it, I can assure you that I will not kill you or your family......"
When the captured Qin soldiers heard this, they were moved, he was originally a person from Great Qin, and it was just a helpless move to join the enemy.
After a long time, Qin Bing raised his head, gritted his teeth and said, "You really don't kill my family?" ”
"No, it won't." Beichen clouds are light and breezy.
Qin Bing Zheng Yi's eyes showed a trace of confusion, he nodded and said: "Half a year ago, I wrote from home, my son coughed non-stop, contracted a serious illness, and if he wanted to save his life, he had to seek medical attention......"
Taking a deep breath, Zheng Yi burst into tears and roared: "How many people can survive in the end of the battle?" The general is right, we are fighting bloody on the battlefield, day and night, all for life, not for ourselves or for our families! ”
Nodding, Zheng Yi said weakly: "So I joined the army for the life of my family, took refuge in the Chu State for my son, and used their money to save my son, I, Zheng Yi...... No regrets! ”
"You are not a good citizen of Great Qin, but you are a good father, I may not kill you the rest of the time, but now ......"
Beichen sighed in his mouth, how can this person not mention it for the time being, his actions towards his son alone are enough to move heaven and earth, endure the condemnation from the bottom of his heart, and do such a thing that violates his conscience, just for his son.
I can't tell whether it's right or wrong, everyone has a shot in their hearts, and it's good that they have the answer.
"Hahahaha, I Zheng Yi never thought that I would be alive today, but Zheng Yi's crime was treason against the enemy, and the whole family should be hanged, I only hope that the general will raise his noble hand and let them go, and ask the lord to be merciful......"
Zheng Yi said, kowtowing to Beichen non-stop.
Beichen did not refuse, nodded and said: "I promise you, as long as I am in his position for one day, I will definitely ensure the safety of your family." ”
"General Xie, Zheng Yi reminds you that just now in the barracks, someone from Zhao Guo has already sent the news out, I hope General will make plans early!"
Zheng Yi bowed to Beichen in Zaidu, then got up abruptly, grabbed a long sword from the soldier next to him, and wiped it directly on his neck.
Staring at the cold corpse that fell to the ground, Beichen's heart trembled, this is a good father, but now he died in his own hands.
I killed all over the world for my lover and did everything, but Zheng Yi was for his son, is it wrong?
"You and I are not wrong, what is wrong is this world, you just made a right decision at the wrong time......"
Beichen squatted down and muttered beside Zheng Yi, and after a long time, he let out a long sigh, raised his head with ruddy eyes, and shouted loudly: "Go to Hangu Pass!" ”
Along the way, Beichen was very uneasy, Zheng Yi's episode made him know that the spy of Zhao Guo sent the news out, which was originally a good thing, but now he was not happy at all.
Zheng Yi is just a small person, insignificant, and just did what a father should do, but he died.
And thinking about the people he killed in the war, Beichen didn't know how many people he had killed, and he didn't know how many families he had torn apart, at this moment he asked himself and had remorse......
"My lord, there is Hangu Pass ahead!"
After more than three hours of marching, Beichen finally saw the famous Hangu Pass in history, why was there thousands of passes during the Warring States Period, but Hangu Pass was so famous?
Hangu Pass, was built in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, is the throat of Luoyang in the east and Chang'an in the west, known as "the sky opens in the Hangu Zhuangguan, the valley is shocked to the north sky", "the twin peaks are towering beside the big river, and the Hangu is a battlefield since ancient times", and it is a place where soldiers must fight since ancient times.
When it comes to Hangu Pass, I have to mention one person, that is Lao Tzu, the ancestor of Taoism, according to legend, Lao Tzu sat on the green ox, and when he stepped into the starry sky in the west, he met Yin Xi, the guard of Hangu Pass, who had sprinkled 5,000 words in this place, leaving a thousand years of holy words "Tao Te Ching".
"The saint once passed here, will there be a heavenly cardamom?"
Beichen's eyes flickered, looking at the 200,000 army in front of him, he waved his big hand towards Hangu Pass, and said with a monstrous fighting intent: "Kill!" ”
The 200,000 army suddenly charged at the Xiongguan Fortress, which was once an ancient battlefield where war horses neighed, and now Beichen has seen this picture with his own eyes.
The two armies fought, as if the world was open, the shouts of killing were earth-shattering, blood and dead people were flowing everywhere, and a huge battle map unfolded.
After the first wave of fighting, Beichen listened to the report of his subordinates, and his face immediately became gloomy, this first charge lost tens of thousands of people, and the 40,000 troops of South Korea according to Hangu Pass only paid more than 3,000 losses.
At this time, Beichen finally realized why South Korea didn't waste so many troops at Hangu Pass, because it was unnecessary, even if 500,000 troops came, they could hold until reinforcements arrived.
Smacking his tongue, Beichen looked at the time and saw that it was almost up, smiled at several black-faced generals, and said, "Since we can't attack it, let's retreat!" ”
