Chapter 069: A Gamble Fighter
Returning to the stands of his house, Zhao Wuji, Zhao Hu and a group of generals surrounded them, asking about the results, and when they heard about the fighting generals, everyone couldn't help but feel a sudden shock.
In ancient times, the generals fought in battle, and fighting will be the most important link.
Before the Warring States Period, everyone fought a war, and they had to be famous, which was called the righteous war and the gentlemen's war.
When the war is needed, everyone first sends an envoy to each other to explain the reason and scale of the battle. Then send people to look at the battlefield first, divide the positions of the camps of both sides, where to go out, and where to enter. How you should be encamped, and how I should be stationed. Then where is your big array, where is mine, draw drawings for each other for the record, get the approval of the other party, and then agree on the date.
Spring is not good, everything is recovering, everyone has to plant wheat at home, and farming cannot be delayed.
It's not good in autumn, everyone has to harvest wheat, and do you want to return the grains to the warehouse?
Not in winter, the soldiers are thinly dressed, don't freeze. Not in summer, it's too hot, and soldiers are prone to heat stroke. If you harm a soldier, it is unkind.
Logically, then stop fighting. How can you do it if you don't fight, so most of the ancient records are that in the late spring of a certain year, a certain country made an appointment with a certain prince, and fought in a certain field; Or so-and-so princes in late autumn, fighting in so-and-so fields. It is for spring and autumn.
Then everyone began to prepare, and after a year and a half of preparation, everyone chose a day to go to the expedition, did everything according to the original drawings, and then began to arrange the troops according to the agreed day and hour.
Is this time to start?
It was still early, and at this time, the envoys of both sides made a final peace effort. Everyone each sent a sharp tooth out of the battle, and in front of the battle, and then the reason for the outbreak of this war, and then a good break, this is called Zhishi. If one side admits defeat in the debate, well, toss more than a year of war, it will be over, and everyone will go back to their respective homes.
However, after the rhetoric, it is not possible to debate a convincing result for the other party, and the second game begins - the fight.
Each of them sent a general, and the two sides fought in the formation, and in the end, the winner decided the reason.
If you are still not convinced, then it is a big army rush, but it will only be over for a while. Because it is impossible to fight for a day and a night, the chariot charges, and one photo is in order, and it is completely chaotic, and it is unrealistic to want to rectify it for a while.
Therefore, the fighting general represents a high honor.
However, the reason why Zhao Xing's generals are worried is because, in principle, the three hundred soldiers of Junqiu are not generals, or the original soldiers, which can be regarded as the kind of militia, and it is because of Zhao Xing that they have ascended to the sky in one step. This is really a fight with the general, and it is a part of death.
Zhao Xing comforted everyone: "Fighting generals, it's gambling money." Money, we're either bragging, or we're rich, so don't worry, if you lose, it won't affect everyone's food. ”
A relaxed joke, but it didn't get everyone's support, Zhao Wujian said worriedly: "Although the fighting will lose money, but it is stipulated that two wins in three games will be a loss at that time." Lord, I can't be careless. ”
This is the key, so I don't have the courage to take on the task, because if you lose, it's not just your own life, but the most important thing is that if you lose, it's equivalent to taking half of the master's life. This responsibility is great.
Zhao Xing continued to cheer everyone up indifferently: "It's okay, this one is lost, but I am confident that the remaining two games will be won." So, as long as the brothers who go up ensure their own safety, they will be pulled down after three or two strokes, we are not monkeys, we go up to let people watch tricks. ”
The more relaxed he said, the more everyone felt a great responsibility.
Zhao Wujian took a step forward, but Zhao Hu blocked him: "The general is the arm of the lord and the leader of the three hundred brothers, there must be no mistakes, I don't have anything else, I have the stupid strength, I'll go." ”
Among the three hundred brothers, if you talk about strength, Zhao Hu is really the biggest, and the weapon that this guy usually uses is a big iron cone, the same hammer. Seventy or eighty pounds, dancing, it was really a tiger and a tiger.
"I think it's a good arrangement." Zhao Xing clapped: "Anyway, it doesn't matter if you win or lose this time, Zhao Hu goes up, just don't care about the head and buttocks, as the so-called, one force is ten tricks, as long as you play with momentum." Then you see that it is almost over, and you give him a concession, and then everyone laughs and comes back for tea. Ah, I don't understand how to drink tea, drink pulp. "At this time, there is no tea yet, everyone sits together, and drinks inexplicable soup, or wine.
Zhao Hu said solemnly: "My subordinates must do their best." ”
"Oh, a tendon, I said, just deal with it. Don't take it seriously. ”
The gong sounded, and the gambling game began.
Zhao Hu didn't wear armor either, he directly stripped off his upper body, showing his strong body with bronze muscles tangled, carrying his eighty-pound big iron awl, and striding off the field.
The other party was really prepared, and when he saw Zhao Hu carrying a big iron cone, he immediately adjusted the candidates, and the one who came off was a taller and stronger guy. He also carried a big iron cone in his hand, the head was bigger than Zhao Hu, walking on the field, step by step, it seemed that the earth was trembling.
As soon as this guy came off the field, it immediately drew shouts and whistles from the whole stand.
Actually, there is no need to compare, Zhao Xing's side has already lost.
When Zhao Xing saw it, he stretched his neck and shouted at the referee: "Lord Referee, we admit defeat, we admit defeat, quickly stop and let my subordinates come back." ”
As soon as this shout came out, the people who were full of excitement and overdosed on chicken blood stopped doing it, if they were all like this, then what was the point of this bet? What everyone is watching is the process of stimulation. As for the ending, in fact, everyone knows it, although they gamble with their lives, in fact, in the end, two people, one is the monarch's uncle, and the other is the monarch's Xingchen teacher, in the end, no one can die.
Of course Gongzi Zhong didn't do it, he wanted to kill Zhao Xing's cronies and deter Zhao Xing's courage, and he also had to resolutely make this gamble a dead end and want Zhao Xing's life.
So he stood up and categorically refused: "Gambling character, if Xingzi is such a scoundrel, how can he be the emperor, how can he fake Zhao Guo?" What face of such a character stands between heaven and earth? ”
The ancients valued the reputation of the most important character, and humiliation and murder abounded, and the most classic was the rotten peach killing the three soldiers. In such a run, Zhao Xingdang committed suicide to protect his image.
As a result, all the people misestimated Zhao Xing's character and cheekiness. He smiled at Gongzi Zhong opposite and said: "Zhao Lao Er, you don't have to provoke me so much, I don't want my subordinates to be innocent dead and injured, this is the kindness of a gentleman and the act of a virtuous person." It is the decision of a wise man, who knows that he cannot do it and does it strongly, that is, cold-blooded and mediocre. If there is no calm and decisive decision like me, and blindly reckless and good face like you, the country will sooner or later be bad in the hands of people like you. ”
Talking so eloquently, Zhao Yong forgot about the gambling contract, and couldn't help nodding again and again: "Teacher, what you said makes sense." ”
As a result, Zhao Xing and Zhao Lao Er were arguing here, but Zhao Hu roared: "Hugh wants to insult my lord, we have fought." Then he swung the big iron cone and pounced.
Gongzi Zhong laughed: "A nobleman, but not as knowledgeable and backbone as a commoner, you should commit suicide in shame." ”
As a result, Zhao Xing yelled: "Zhao Hu, come back." ”
But it was too late, there was a thunderclap in the venue, the dust fell, the victory was divided, and Zhao Hu had already withered to the ground.
Looking at Zhao Hu, who was spurting blood from his mouth, fortunately, this kid resisted the fight, and his life was fine.
Zhao Xing finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had to order his subordinates to rescue Zhao Hu back.
As a result, Gongzi Zhong sneered: "There are no weak soldiers under the strong generals, and the cowardly guys are all roosters and dogs." ”
When Zhao Xing heard this, he was shocked.
Zhao Hu roared: "Jun (feudal monarch) humiliated his ministers (retainers) to death, and disgraced my lord because of me, and I am ashamed of my death." The big iron cone flew, and in Zhao Xing's hoarse voice: "Don't", he hit his head and died.
Gongzi Zhong laughed proudly, although in the end you have the protection of the monarch and the queen mother, I may not be able to kill you, but I will ruin your reputation and cut off your arm, Zhao Xing, it will be difficult for you to gain a foothold in Zhao State.
Zhao Xing looked at the corpse of his beloved general in a daze, his eyes were blood-red: "Zhao Lao Er, you forced my beloved general to death, I had the intention to spare you from dying, but, now, I will kill him." ”
