Under the blue sky, a majestic huge city stands under the blue sky and white clouds, solemn and solemn. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Tang Dou had never seen such a huge city, and even Jinling, where he was born and raised, had never made him feel the urge to worship.

The cities he has seen, such as Huangpu, Beijing, and Jinling, may be bigger than the city in front of him, but those modern cities are by no means more intuitive than the city in front of him, telling people that this is a city.

Standing under the towering city gate, people sigh their insignificance from the bottom of their hearts, the towering city wall stretches for dozens of miles, and there is no edge at all at a glance.

This is the capital of Zhao State...... Handan, to be exact, is Handan in 250 BC.

As early as more than 8,000 years ago, the early Neolithic Cishan ancestors multiplied here, opened a new era of human civilization, after research, Cishan culture is a thousand years earlier than Yangshao culture, and the record of planting crops in China has been advanced to 5400 B.C. ~ 5100 B.C.

During the hundreds of years when the capital was established in Xingtai in the early Shang Dynasty, Handan has always existed as a place of auxiliary service. According to the "Bamboo Book Chronicle", the palace annex was built in Handan at the end of the Shang Dynasty, which proves that Handan has a history of at least 3,000 years.

In 386 BC, Marquis Jing of Zhao moved his capital to Handan, and King Wuling of Zhao implemented the military reform of Hufu cavalry and archery, making Zhao one of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States.

If it weren't for the Changping War, the famous general of the Qin State Bai Qi killed 450,000 Zhao troops in one fell swoop, which made the Zhao State collapse from then on, and the Zhao State was actually the country with the most hope of unifying the six countries and completing the great cause of unifying the world.

Looking at the majestic city in front of him, Tang Dou sighed softly in a sigh.

It's a pity that Zhao Guo doesn't have a famous general like the killer demon king Bai Qi.

According to Liang Qichao's research, a total of more than 2 million people died in the entire Warring States Period, of which half died in the hands of Bai Qi, it is no wonder that later generations will give Bai Qi the notoriety of a murderous demon king, but Bai Qi is recognized as the first general in the Warring States Period, like Lian Po, Li Mu, Wang Jian These famous generals can only be relegated to the last.

In the era of blood, it is bound to be able to give birth to otherworldly characters who dominate the scene.

Tang Dou sighed in his heart and drove his horse into Handan.

Handan as the capital of Zhao State, the city outline is grand, the momentum is magnificent, the city construction is like all the cities in the Warring States Period, covers an extremely wide area, up to dozens of miles away, the city is greatly developed farmland and water conservancy, even if it is besieged by the enemy, as long as the city is not broken, the people in the city can be completely self-sufficient, and there is no need to worry about food and clothing at all.

In addition to the city gate is a little lively, into the city, the feeling is not much different from entering the farm, look around, everywhere you look is farmland ponds, quite some small bridges and flowing water people's artistic conception, but the pedestrians walking on the road are obviously much more than outside the city, and occasionally you can see the famous nobles of the freshly dressed horses driving horses to gallop in the wilderness.

Tang Dou drove his horse slowly on the avenue quite leisurely, breathing in the fresh air that is absolutely unimaginable in modern times, browsing the rare scenery of the Warring States Capital, but when he saw the peddlers and pawns walking on this road, and most of the people working in the farmland were women, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the damage brought to Zhao by the Battle of Changping might not be recoverable in a few years.

Tang Dou drove his horse and walked on the avenue, dressed as a handsome and noble son, attracting the attention of countless women who were working, and even more daring to wave directly to Tang Dou and flatter him, and Tang Dou's scalp was numb for a while.

The women of Zhao are so open, poems, books, rituals and music, where did the three from the four virtues go?

Seeing that Tang Dou didn't dare to look directly at those bold women, a son not far behind Tang Dou laughed and drove his horse to catch up with Tang Dou, and smiled at Tang Dou: "Brother Tai must not be from Zhao Guo, right?" ”

Tang Dou hurriedly returned the salute: "In Xia Tang Dou, I like to travel to various countries, and I was born in Jinling, so I should be regarded as a native of Chu." ”

The young man laughed and arched his hand to Tang Dou: "It turned out to be Brother Tang of Chu State, who served in the army in Xia Li Tian." ”

Tang Dou replied: "I've seen Brother Li." ”

There was no direct conflict of interest between Chu and Zhao, and the relationship between the two countries was relatively harmonious. Tang Dou is not wrong to claim to be a native of Chu, Tang Dou was born in Jinling, that is, in the territory of today's Chu State.

Li Tian gave a loud whistle to the two young beauties who were looking over in the farmland, and said to Tang Dou with a smile: "Brother Tang doesn't know, after the Battle of Changping, the king ordered to encourage women to give birth, and each son can be exempted from paying taxes for three years, and now the man of Zhao can be said to be the happiest man in the Seven Kingdoms, if there is a girl in the picture, you only need to hook your finger, and the girl will run to your couch by herself, like you Chu people and Qi people have many people who come to Zhao to hunt for beautiful women." ”

Tang Dou couldn't help coughing, according to historical records, Zhao had a total population of more than 3 million, and was slaughtered by Bai Qi in the Battle of Changping 450,000 young and strong men, resulting in a serious imbalance in the ratio of men and women in Zhao State, which is no wonder that the women you see on the road will flatter the men passing by.

Li Tian asked Tang Dou mysteriously, "Brother Tang, you won't also come because of the girl, right?" ”

Tang Dou was embarrassed, and hurriedly defended: "Brother Li misunderstood, he came to Handan to visit friends. Dare to ask Brother Li, do you know where Mr. Ji Hao's residence is? ”

Hearing Tang Dou say Ji Hao's name, Li Tian was in awe, sat on horseback and bowed his hand to Tang Dou again: "It turns out that Brother Tang is Mr. Ji Hao's noble friend, and he is disrespectful." ”

It seems that Ji Hao's fame in Zhao is quite big, Tang Dou smiled modestly, and asked, "Brother Li, do you know where Mr. Ji Hao lives?" ”

Li Tianyi smiled and said: "Mr. Ji Hao's residence is still more than ten miles away from here, and it just so happens that I haven't visited Mr. Ji Hao for a while. ”

Tang Dou smiled and said, "So there is Brother Lao Li." ”

The two of them talked and laughed and walked together, and Li Tian also changed his frivolity just now and talked about some interesting things between countries.

Tang Dou should be reconciled, secretly speculating in his heart about who this Li Tian is.

This Li Tian performed his duties in the army, but he was not a vulgar person, and he seemed to know very well about things between countries, he not only knew Ji Hao, but also seemed to visit Ji Hao often, it seems that this Li Tian is probably also a person who often goes in and out of the upper class.

Ji Hao is a famous person in the world, but there are few records of Ji Hao in the history books, and there are occasional records, only because Ji Hao is the enlightenment teacher of Qin Shi Huang.

Before Tang Dou crossed over to Handan, he deliberately traveled to ten years ago and made friends with Ji Hao, who traveled in Qi State, and the two of them chatted together, discussed the current affairs of various countries, and after a discussion, Tang Dou was impressed by Ji Hao, and Ji Hao led Tang Dou as his confidant in life.

Ji Hao's knowledge is not bad, but he is a little lonely and self-appreciative, and he is from the scholar clan with a very strong sense of hierarchy, his eyes are arrogant, and he can talk to Tang Dou together, but he is purely confused by Tang Dou.

With the knowledge of people in this era, it is very easy for Tang Dou to fool him.

Ji Hao was able to come to Handan, which was the result of Tang Dou's persuasion, because Tang Dou knew that Ji Hao could become Qin Shi Huang's enlightenment teacher when he arrived in Handan, and he had the opportunity to contact Qin Shi Huang through him.

Tang Dou and Li Tian talked and laughed all the way, and more than ten miles passed quickly.

Li Tian stretched out his hand and pointed to a house looming in the woods in front of him, and said to Tang Dou with a smile: "Brother Tang, that is Mr. Ji Hao's residence." ”

Tang Dou raised his eyebrows, he will soon be able to see Qin Shi Huang, what will this emperor of the ages look like? (To be continued.) )
