Chapter 177: Such an Insignificant Me

The officials of the Qin State did not regard Zhao Kuo as an enemy at all... They asked Zhao Kuo for teaching and questioning as a disciple, just as they thought, Zhao Kuo did not kill them, or detain them, for their questions, Zhao Kuo answered them one by one, and the officials asked not too complicated questions, and some officials were very interested in the "rule of law" proposed by Zhao Kuo, and asked him about the difference between the rule of law and the rule of man, as well as the advantages and disadvantages.

Zhao Kuo swaggered through the territory of Qin State like this, did not encounter an ambush by the enemy, and was greeted by officials all the way, and even invited Zhao Kuo to rest in the city, and some officials also gave gifts, which made Zhao Kuo very surprised, aren't they afraid that they will be charged with colluding with Zhao State? Later, he learned from the mouths of the officials that they had done all this with the consent of the county guard.

Uncle Le, the disciple who followed Zhao Kuo, seemed to have some understanding of Zhao Kuo's most profound art of war. The soldiers of the Zhao State were still a little surprised by this, and looked at these enemies of the Qin State vigilantly, they had already learned that the King of Qin was bent on taking Ma Fujun away from them, which made them worried. Many people don't understand his behavior, and Zhao Kuo seems to be out of step with this world.

Probably in his eyes, the people of the Seven Kingdoms are no different, they are originally a family, and they should not kill each other. Zhao Kuo hates war, but in this world full of disasters, only war can end disasters.

At night, sitting in front of the bonfire, Zhao Kuo looked at the flames in front of him blankly, but he was thinking about his own way of salvation in his mind. In the distance, several soldiers of Zhao came away, they stood in the distance, looking at Zhao Kuo, wanting to speak and stopping, their faces hesitated, they wanted to say something, but they couldn't say it, and their hearts were full of struggle. Zhao Kuo noticed them, he raised his head, smiled, and beckoned to them, and the soldiers walked over to their side.

"Is there anything you want to tell me?" , Zhao Kuo asked gently.

"Ma Fu-kun... We.."

The soldiers looked at each other, and suddenly knelt in front of Zhao Kuo, and some soldiers said: "Please don't leave us...", "We lost to the Qin people this time, but we will not be defeated again, next time, we will fight without retreating, please don't leave us...", the soldiers spoke one after another, and as they spoke, the soldiers around them also looked at Zhao Kuo uneasily.

"Who said I was going to leave my second and third sons?"

"Along the way, the officials of the Qin State warmly entertained you, and invited you to the Qin State by order of the King of Qin...", the soldiers wept and said, "We have disappointed you on this trip to Korea... But we won't let you down again, so please don't leave us behind... We need you, Zhao needs you, and the Zhao people have nothing but you..."

Zhao Kuo laughed, and he said, "I won't leave." ”

Regarding the war in Chu, Zhao Kuo sent someone to inform King Zhao, but King Zhao probably couldn't send someone to help, because now is the busy farming season, and Zhao is not as young and strong as Qin. It is the Wei State, maybe it can send troops to rescue, Zhao Kuo thought about these things in his heart, and the army rushed in the direction of Zhao Guo non-stop.

The war between Qin and Chu has officially entered the most fierce duel, and the general of Qin, Meng Fu, after pacifying the cities on three sides of Chendu, launched the most ferocious attack on Chendu, and the general of Chu, Jingyang, blocked it with all his might. In Yangcheng, the Qin State and the Chu State had a duel with more than 200,000 troops, and Meng Fu attacked the city with all his might, but failed to take this Yangcheng from Jingyang's hands, leaving nearly 50,000 corpses, and then retreated to Anling.

The two sides started a confrontation in the Yangcheng generation, with countless casualties, Xiang Xian arrived in time, defeated the flank of the Qin people in the Jingshan generation, and successfully joined forces with Jingyang, the Chu State collected a large number of troops from everywhere, Chun Shenjun was probably unwilling to back down anymore, and he also ignored the current busy farming time, crazy troop transfer, in a short period of time, in Chendu, Pingyu gathered 300,000 young people, began to reorganize and practice, and was ready to fully meet the Qin people.

With the support from the rear, Jingyang abandoned the city and attacked, the two sides fought with Anling, the two sides fought for four days, the battlefield was piled up into a hillside, the corpses blocked the water, even Rushui, became red, the people downstream of Rushui looked at the red river, frightened pale, speechless.

Fan Ju's strategy, can not be said to be a success, or a failure, he originally just wanted to weaken the state of Chu and force the state of Chu to move the capital, but he himself did not expect that his actions would make the young man who had been forbearance completely angry, under the command of Chun Shenjun, this vast barbarian country let out an unyielding roar, and one after another young people of the state of Chu raised their weapons and rushed to the battlefield.

This is a particularly cruel war, the war is like a huge stone mill, turning, crushing countless young lives, by the way, those young sons, fathers, husbands' relatives, they are also run over by this millstone, sitting at the entrance of the village waiting for their relatives, they are destined to never wait for that familiar figure. The Chu people wept blood, the blood rolled down, the war continued, and the road from Chendu to Jingshan was full of souls who could not find the direction of their home.

Soon, the Wei State, which learned that the Qin State attacked the Chu State, also sent reinforcements, and the 40,000 Wei soldiers commanded by the disciple Mao Sui of the Plains Jun, and rushed to the Chen capital to rescue, although there were not many soldiers, but for Chun Shenjun, this was enough, which has proved the success of his strategy, which is why he dared to go all out to meet the confidence of the Qin people, because of the tyranny of the Qin State, the countries were finally able to unite together!

The soldiers of Wei also quickly participated in this grinding plate, but they could not splash the slightest splash, after Wei, South Korea actually sent Zhang Ping, the minister of state, to lead 10,000 people to Anling, South Korea, and posed to rescue Chu.

The most powerless is probably the Zhao State, which does not have enough food and cannot go on the expedition... However, King Zhao still followed Wei Wuji's advice, and ordered General Lian Po to lead the 30,000 soldiers who were temporarily recruited, with not much food, to gather in Danshui, and made a posture of attacking the Qin State and Shangdang.

For a time, Chu, Wei, Han, and Zhao all made the appearance of uniting to attack Qin, which made Qin's attack on Chu stagnant, and even many of the captured cities were taken away by the Chu people, and the casualties of the Qin people were not few, those who lived in the war and were destined to die in the war, but they looked at all this, they watched the people around them die all the time since they were born, but this time it was their turn.

In the forty-ninth year of King Qin and the seventh year of King Zhao, in the summer of 258 BC, Zhao Kuo rushed to the outside of the Danshui camp where General Lian Po lived.

Seeing the intact Zhao Kuo, Lian Po was very happy, and arranged the army led by Zhao Kuo, Lian Po invited Zhao Kuo to his camp. After Lian Po asked him about the situation in South Korea, he was a little surprised, he didn't expect that Ma Fujun actually beat King Han, but he had to admit Ma Fujun's courage, in today's world, there should be those who dare to kill the king, but those who dare to beat the monarch are just such a person.

Lian Po then told him about the tragic situation of the Qin-Chu war during this time, and Lian Po learned a lot of interesting stories about the war, and he talked with great interest about the story of the rivers of Chu that were stained red with blood.

And Zhao Kuo frowned, listening to General Lian Po talk eloquently, but he couldn't even say a word.

More than 400,000 people in Qin and Chu are now gathered in Nanyang, and the two countries have left countless corpses in one advance and one retreat, leaving countless corpses, Fan Ju seems to have been beaten out of the fire, and a steady stream of soldiers from all over the country have been recruited and sent to the battlefield, intending to teach a lesson to the Chu people who do not know the height of the sky again, South Korea and Wei were also forced to participate in the war, and the two sides launched a bloody battle in Nanyang, General Lian Po told Zhao Kuo very experienced, every day now, there should be five or six thousand soldiers in Nanyang who are dying...

When Zhao Kuo walked out of Lian Po's camp, the whole person looked a little trance, his eyes were blank, and in the face of the doormen's getting up to greet him, he didn't say a word, and walked into the residence arranged for him by Lian Po in a daze. The doormen looked at the inner room with some concern, Ge walked to Han Fei's side, pushed him, and said to him: "Please go in and take a look, I think there is something wrong with Ma Fujun..."

Han Fei's eyes widened and he looked at Ge in front of him, but he was pushed into the camp by Ge.

Zhao Kuo knelt in front of the desk, the saber was on his knees, he closed his eyes tightly, motionless, seeing his appearance, Han Fei was also taken aback, Zhao Kuo's face was an indescribable depression, he lowered his head, and he looked a little decadent, Han Fei slowly sat in front of him, frowned, and shouted with some concern: "Teacher? Are you alright? ”

Zhao Kuo opened his eyes, and his eyes were bloodshot.

"Non... I.. Is it wrong? ”

"Teacher?"

"I should have died in Changping, here."

"Why did the teacher say that?"

"I saved 400,000 people... But many more died. ”

"Then save them again."

"I could spend my whole life saving people... However, there is always a day when I die, and when I die, the war that should have ended is not over, and more people will die. ”

"Then teach a few more people like you, and let them continue to save."

"Hahaha~~", Zhao Kuo suddenly laughed, this voice sounded a little strange, it seemed to be mixed with crying, so that people couldn't tell whether they were crying or laughing, Zhao Kuo stood up, holding a short sword, he walked to the front of the camp, looked at Danshui, he looked at everything outside, and said to Han Fei who was sitting behind him: "I should have died here." Han Fei just looked at the teacher in surprise and didn't say anything.

Zhao Kuo raised his head and looked at the sky that was gradually darkening, he was just silent and didn't say a word.

"I just want to save people... Save more people. ”

"Teachers are always saving people."

"You will give hope to the desperate Zhao people, courage to the cowardly Han people, mercy to the cold-blooded Qin people, and warmth to the Yan people in the ice and snow... I have never seen a person like you, teacher, you treat everyone equally from the bottom of your heart, no matter how humble his status is, you treat the people of the Seven Kingdoms as your own relatives and seek a way to save them, which makes me a villain who wants to save Korea feel ashamed. ”

"Teacher, in the past few days that have followed you, I have never seen you stop saving people, all the time, even at home, you are talking to Du about more tools that are beneficial to the people... I've never seen you enjoy, I've never seen you complain. I feel that if there is one person who can save this world of grief, it must be you. ”

Zhao Kuo just stared at the sky, and he said, "I haven't done enough. ”

"Whatever you want to do, teacher... I will follow you. I will work with you to save the world, even if it comes at the cost of Korea's demise... You have made me understand that it is not South Korea that needs to be saved, but the people of South Korea who have suffered disasters. Han Fei bowed to Zhao Kuo and said seriously, "I will follow you." ”

"Me too...", a trembling voice came from outside the tent, Zhao Kuo opened the thick door curtain, but at some point, his doormen all knelt outside the door, and it was Ge who spoke, Ge's long beard trembled, he looked at Zhao Kuo, and said seriously: "I have always been worried, you will live up to the prestige of Ma Fujun, but now, I can rest assured, if Ma Fujun is still alive, he will definitely fully support you." ”

"Whatever you want to do... I will follow you. ”

"I'm just a barbarian, only you don't think I'm a barbarian... You're the only one who thinks of me as your cronies... I always get you in trouble... However, I am willing to follow you, even if I die, I will not die behind you! Di said proudly.

"I will atone for my past sins." It's a blessing.

Zhao Kuo laughed, he stretched out his hand and covered his eyes, "Today's wind and sand~~"

Zhao Kuo sat among the disciples with great determination, he looked at the young people around him seriously, and he said: "My strength is insignificant, I have no way to avoid war, and I have no way to avoid death, but I will not give up what I want to do, no matter how insignificant my strength is... The faint flame swayed in the wind, but as long as it was not extinguished, it always burned. ”

"Nowadays, everywhere, it is customary to use witchcraft to save people, which is unreasonable, especially on the battlefield, I heard that the Chu State sent a lot of witches to save the soldiers, this is a way to appease the fear in the hearts of the soldiers, but it is not a way to save them... Xunzi said that the sky has no emotion, it will not help him because of people's actions, nor will it obey people's orders because of witchcraft, only a famous doctor like Mr. Bian Que can change people's fate and save them. ”

"Seek out the famous doctors in various places, let them teach more healers, with enough healers, the country's household registration can be improved, the soldiers can fight bravely, there are wise kings who will not die without governing the country well, there are brave generals and virtuous ministers will not die without having time to repay the favor to the king. What is the reason for offering beef as a tribute to the witch who deceived him, but disdainful of the healer who could save him? ”

"The state of Qin and the state of Chu, especially ... Superstitious about ghosts and gods, those who survive also die because they can't be healed.."

Yang Duanhe listened carefully to the teacher's words and quickly recorded them, this time, he was finally one step ahead of Han Fei.
