Chapter 33: The "Ancient" Battlefield

ps: I'm very sorry, because I have to check the time and place of several battles, so it's a little late.

Two months later, Xie Wei and Julian arrived in Yangzhai, which was between Qin and Zhao.

Yangzhai is the legendary capital of Xia and the capital of Han, but the battle a year ago has turned it into a city of smoke.

In 230 B.C., Qin, with an army twice as large as Han, defeated the Han capital Yangzhai in one fell swoop, captured Han Wang'an, and set up Yingchuan County here, opening the prelude to Qin's devouring of the Six Kingdoms and unification of the world.

Xie Wei is now standing on a dirt slope on the outskirts of Yangzhai, squinting his eyes at this piece of barren smoke and decayed grass.

She felt that she was standing on the edge of history, as if she had reached out and touched not only the gale that enveloped the yellow sand, but also something more in her hand.

The eyes were full of loess and gravel, fragmented and unorganized, and the grass flew in the distance, some of which hung on strangely shaped weathered stones, and many more went out of the northern border with the wind, and disappeared in the yellow cloudy sky.

"Ahh Julian lit a bonfire behind her and strode behind her.

He knew that he had been in a bad mood lately.

It all started half a month ago.

Around the middle of Jianzi, he left Hutai with Xie Wu, and went to Zhaodi Zhaoyu by a path, and hastily sacrificed the people of the Xie clan.

Xie Wei inquired about Guo Kai's news in the local area, but the ordinary people had no impression of Guo Kai, and only vaguely remembered that the Xie clan who had lived in Zhaoyu for generations four years ago was slaughtered because of Guo Kai, and they were a little indignant at him.

The journey was a futile.

After that, they left Zhao and passed through the territory of the former Han land, intending to enter Qin from Hangu Pass.

Halfway through the journey, Yu Bolangsha met with the Qin army sent to Zhaodi.

Xie Wei's face turned white at that time, and he sighed with a solemnity and relief that he had never seen before, "Zhao is dead......!" ”

Ju Lian didn't know why she came to this conclusion, he felt that Xie Wei's young daughter might be the first time to see such a huge army - although it was only a glance from a distance, the kind of sand and dust raised by soldiers and horses was terrifying enough, probably because of this kind of killing atmosphere, Xie Wei would be so hopeless in the country of his parents, right?

But he also remembered that the look in Xie Wu's eyes at that time was far more than he thought was fear and despair, and there was a strange expression that was so deeply hidden that he couldn't tell what kind of emotion it was.

Xie Wei didn't know what she was thinking, but after a while she realized that the drama was calling her, and as soon as she turned around, the beating fiery red in the evening sky almost burned her eyes.

His gaze turned to the air where the snow clouds were piling up and eased for a while, and then he refocused his attention on the drama company, "Brother, have you ever heard someone say, 'Li Mu is here, Zhao is not dead'?" ”

Ju Lian nodded, he stayed in Qin Di for several years, Qin Zhao's intention to destroy Zhao had long been heard, and last year, when Qin waved his army to destroy Han, it was still because he couldn't attack Zhao, so he turned to the second best thing and suddenly attacked Han Di.

The Qin people have the blood of nomadic ancestors in their bones, and the people are all warlike, and almost everyone will hear people discussing the shape between Qin and Zhao in the streets and alleys, and almost all of them without exception believe that as long as Li Mu, the general of Zhao, is still there, it is impossible for Qin to break through Handan in the short term.

After being silent for a long time, he moved closer to the fire and sat down silently, untied the small burden behind him, dipped it in drinking water and began to eat dry food.

The drama even estimated that she still couldn't express her worries for her family and country, so she sat next to her, rubbing the top of her head a little clumsily and comfortingly, "My sister knows, 'Li Mu is here, Zhao is not dead', why worry about this?" Qin, the country of tigers and wolves, but Zhao is also the leopard of the wasteland, the two strong fight, and the victory or defeat is unknown. ”

"Brother is mistaken, Qin is not a tiger and wolf, he is really a cunning fox and a deceit." Xie Wei tilted his head, his eyes fixed on the flying flames.

The crimson tongue of fire and the bright yellow flame heart are flying and rolling with the hunting wind outside the plug, and they are indescribably smart.

Seeing that the drama Lian looked at himself in confusion, he added a sentence to relieve his worries, "Brother is a man, but a politician is not a man." The so-called soldiers, sophistication, isn't it the spirit fox chasing the cunning rabbit, fighting wits but not strength? ”

In this battle, the total number of troops in the head-to-head confrontation between Qin and Zhao reached more than 450,000, which should have been a confrontation between the two countries in the Warring States period when the population density was not large.

Moreover, since the Zhao State had been cavalry and shooting by the Wuling King Hufu, the combat ability of the army was not much worse than that of Qin.

The battle between two empires with strong strength and fierce armies was evenly matched, and there were draws one after another before, and this time it was naturally the cunning who could come out on top.

There was obvious unhappiness in the tone of the "sophistication ......" drama company, and in his opinion, the battle between people should be won by pure strength.

Swords can be used, but they must not be fed poison, hidden weapons, or intrigue to win.

Sophistry clearly falls within the latter realm and is despised by the righteous.

Xie Wei sighed, the drama is really a tendon in this head, if it weren't for the simple customs of the people in these years, I really don't know what he would have to be deceived into, "Brother also heard that Zhao Yongbing had more than 200,000 soldiers, 1,000 cars, and Qin also sent more than 200,000 troops, and went far away, approaching Zhao Capital Handan." ”

If Qin wins, it is natural that Qin will initially establish the hegemony, but if Zhao wins, then Qin will obviously be greatly injured, but Zhao will establish an undefeated position, and the long-awaited exit into the Central Plains and unify the world will only become more and more distant from the Qin people.

"The two armies are facing each other, and they are equal, if the King of Qin is not absolutely sure, how can he pour the strength of a country out?"

Ju Lian nodded, listening to Xie Wei's analysis, it seemed to make some sense, "However, what does King Qin have to worry about?" The general is Wang Qian, in the thirteenth year of King Qin, Wang Jian attacked Zhao, and was defeated by Li Mu, and in fifteen years, he was blocked again and returned to the division. Defeated again and again, I am afraid that the morale of the Qin army will decline. ”

Although the drama company has no talent for these tricks and doesn't like them, he is still very concerned about the war, and he is the leader of the big battles in the past few years.

Xie Wei had to explain patiently, while breaking a broken branch on the ground with loose mud and sand to draw a schematic diagram of Handan, Jingcheng and other important places, "In the thirteenth year, Wang Jian was defeated in Yi'an, and in the fifteenth year, Wang Jian disturbed Handan, attacked the party, and went out of the well. ”

Speaking of this, Xie Wu suddenly threw the branch to the ground, a trace of cruelty surged in his eyes, and his slightly hoarse voice was like a lonely soul whispering, "If I am Wang Qian, then Zhao is not in trouble, and Li Mu is also in trouble, and he should be killed at the expense of witchcraft." ”

Ju Lian didn't answer, his head hung down slightly, his angular face was very tight, and it looked very three-dimensional under the reflection of the firelight, with clear light and shade.

The sand on the ground was loosened a little, and half of the withered white bones were faintly exposed.
