Chapter 66: The Rising Qin Feng
No matter how lively Liyang is, but for Changchuan, which has just experienced the war, October is a quiet season, a sad season.
The loneliness and bleakness of winter have not yet descended on the world with the arrival of heavy snow, and the white curtains floating all over the city and the low mourning songs make people feel endless sadness.
In October, Changchuan has ten rooms and nine emptiness.
Ge Sheng Mengchu, vines in the wild; Yu Mei died here. Who with? Alone!
Ge Sheng is covered with thorns, and the vines are in the domain; Yu Mei died here. Who with? Alone!
The corner pillow is sloppy, and the brocade is rotten.
Yu Mei died here. Who with? Dudan!
......
Today is the day when the Qin army buried their comrades who died in battle, and it is also the day when the souls of the warriors who died in battle return to their hometowns.
The long funeral procession of the Qin army, in the mourning songs of the sad people, slowly held the urns of the Qin army's dead soldiers, and slowly walked out of the county town of Changchuan step by step.
Outside the city, Wei Kai and his party were already wearing mourning clothes, waiting quietly on the side of the road.
In the Battle of Changchuan, the Qin army defeated the enemy army and killed more than 90,000 people in total, but the Qin people also killed nearly 30,000 people. In particular, the soldiers and civilians who had previously defended the city in Changchuan were besieged by tens of thousands of enemy troops, and almost all of them were killed in battle, and none of them went out of the city to surrender.
Zhang Zheng, who was lucky enough to survive, led a long line at this time, dressed in mourning clothes, surrounded by the funeral people, walked slowly with a solemn face, paying tribute to his most heroic subordinates, just like he once took them to Changchuan County.
When the funeral procession came to Wei Kai, the mourning music in the army also sounded immediately, and a large stone tablet was carried by Wei Kai and the other three generals, walking at the front of the line, only to see the two big characters "Qin Feng" carved with blood red on it, in the tragic lamentation, attracting the souls of the Qin army scattered around.
"Wind, wind, wind", in the sudden north wind, the white curtain held high in the team was blown by the wind, and the soul-attracting bell that attracted the souls of the dead also rang with the wind, as if those soldiers of the Qin army who died in battle, listening to the horn of the Qin army, returned to the team one after another.
Looking at the slightly chaotic funeral procession blocked by the strong wind, Wei Kai immediately drew his sword and shouted to the sky: "Soldiers, go home", and then shouted to the Qin army behind him who was so pressed by the north wind that he couldn't raise his head: "Raise your head, soldiers."
Let those soldiers who died bravely see clearly that we are alive and can guard the dreams of their dead."
"Wind, wind, wind", and then the Qin army shouted the slogan of the Qin army in the gale, and walked forward with a steady pace against the wind step by step.
Bow to Lao Qin, go to the national disaster together; Old Qin, restore my rivers and mountains.
The blood will not be drained, and there will be no truce in death; There is Daqin in the west, such as the sun rising;
......
The Qin army sang Qin songs, held their heads high in the gale, and did not look back, so that the various tribes in Shuzhong who were watching from a distance were suddenly shocked, thinking in their hearts, no wonder the more than 50,000 soldiers gathered by the various tribes in Shu before were defeated by the Qin army, and then the whole army was annihilated, and the Qin army was so strong.
It turned out that today was the day when all the tribes in Shu in the Qin State signed an alliance. Originally, the two countries should have signed the treaty in an atmosphere of relative harmony between the two sides, so as to facilitate the two countries to reach a consensus and eliminate contradictions.
But Wei Kai chose to sign an alliance with the so-called "Shu State" on the day of the funeral for the Qin army, the purpose of which was to tell those soldiers who died in battle that the glory of the Qin army today was in exchange for their flesh and blood;
Tell those people and soldiers of the Qin State who are still alive that the Qin army will never forget those warriors who threw their heads and shed their blood for the Qin State to inspire their fighting spirit;
At the same time, it is also to tell those Shuzhong elders not far away that the Qin people will not take revenge, but the Qin people will not forget the hatred, and it is better to be honest in the future, otherwise the "Jingguan" with two bunches of beasts circling not far away will be their fate.
A huge Qin army memorial activity gradually ended with the dull sound of the stone tablet falling to the ground.
But the grief of the Qin people will never stop. In the world, only a nation that remembers the past will not lose its way in the temptations of the future.
From now on, Wei Kai ordered the Qin people in Changchuan to carry out activities to commemorate the martyrs in October every year.
Wei Kai just wants to let the Qin people understand that our happiness today is all bought by the lives of those soldiers who died in battle yesterday. We will not forget the people of the past, but we also don't want to waste the opportunity of the present, all the conspiracies that dare to target the Qin people, the Qin people will definitely not let go, and they are bound to fight back fiercely and pay for the blood debt.
Changchuan County.
Looking at the trembling patriarchs of Shuzhong below, Wei Kai smiled and said as if comfortingly: "All the patriarchs of Shuzhong, welcome to my Qin State as guests", and then invited them to sit on the seats that had been prepared one by one.
The patriarchs of Shuzhong, who looked panicked like little quails, instinctively trembled instantly after hearing what Wei Kai said, and then glanced around with their eyes, and found that there was nothing in their hearts, and the knife and axe hands who were secretly ambushed around wiped the fine sweat on their heads slightly, glanced at each other, and then slowly came to their seats and sat up.
Looking at the shrunken Shuzhong elders below, Wei Kai smiled without showing a look.
These people are a group of cheap bones, originally when Wei Kai captured Biedongtian, he sent people to the various tribes in Shuzhong to spread the word, and asked them to send envoys to Changchuan County to discuss matters.
However, these patriarchs in Shu don't know if they are not afraid of death, or they think that Wei Kai is so foolish, so they are actually secretly watching and helping each other, forming an alliance, and sending a few people to perfunctory Wei Kai, I am afraid that they are still dreaming of "the law does not blame the public".
Therefore, Wei Kai immediately sent the Qin army to break through the ten Shuzhong tribes, and the people who resisted the Qin army were washed in blood, so that the mountains and forests in Shu did not hear the birdsong for a few days, and did not see the beasts, and those Shu elders hurriedly came to Changchuan to participate in the alliance discussion.
Of course, there are also some smart people among them, such as the Huang clan, the Aries clan and other Shuzhong tribes who sit closest to Wei Kai.
Of course, on the other hand, they can also get more benefits in the next trade between Qin and Shu, and the differential treatment, of course Wei Kai knows.
Looking at the surrounding Shuzhong tribes, Wei Kai got up and toasted and said with a smile: "Everyone, it is not easy for us to meet here, I hope you can remember this friendship."
As soon as the words fell, the surrounding Shu elders gathered for wine, and replied to Wei Kai and hurriedly said: "The Shu people dare not forget the kindness of the general", and then sat down with different faces, silent, and the atmosphere was suddenly very embarrassing.
After all, the two sides of Qin and Shu had a fierce battle not long ago, and more than 50,000 Shu people were killed and injured, and all ethnic groups in Shu were also filial piety because of this, crying all over the field, and Wei Kai also slaughtered in Shuzhong, so the people in Shu were panicked.
Of course, Wei Kai can't do anything about it, Wei Kai, as the general of Qin, of course, the first thing is to safeguard the interests of the Qin people, as for the interests of the Shu people? This is not what Wei Kai can care about, weakness is sin.
As the saying goes, wealth moves people's hearts, and Wei Kai believes that the next trade between Qin and Shu will definitely smooth out the wounds between Qin and Shu very well, which is why Wei Kai tried his best to promote the Qin-Shu alliance.
You must know that although the various ethnic groups in Shu are weak, when the Qin army is fully committed to fighting against the six kingdoms of Shandong, the strength of the Shu people cannot be ignored.
If Qin and Shu were completely evil, in the dense jungle where there was no light of day, Wei Kai would never be sure to defeat the Shu people who kept sneaking up on the Qin army in the dark;
As for the complete capture of Shuzhong, the current Qin State is far from being able to do it, even if it occupies Shuzhong, it will be scattered by the Shu army everywhere, dragging a lot of manpower and material resources in vain, not to mention that the Qin State itself is now in danger.
After looking at the Shuzhong elders around him, Wei Kai said with a smile: "Everyone, Qin Shu has always been a friendly neighbor, and the previous war was a villain. Now that the villain has been removed, the Qin people will never hurt the innocent.
In addition, my Qin State intends to establish an alliance similar to the Shang Alliance with the various ethnic groups in Shuzhong, I don't know what you think? ”
After hearing what Wei Kai swore to say, the elders of Shuzhong, who were worried about it, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, after all, the Qin army was menacing a few days ago, and the appearance of a catastrophe in Shu was really frightening.
Hearing that the villain has been removed, the elders of Shuzhong are also suddenly embarrassed, Shuzhong has been inherited for a hundred years, the famous Bai Hui clan, the silkworm cong clan, and the enlightened clan of Shuzhong are three major ethnic villages, which were wiped out by the Qin army clan in Changchuan overnight, and all the glory has become history.
However, when they heard the "alliance like the business alliance", the elders of Shuzhong suddenly became interested.
After all, the previous Shuzhong business alliance was grasped by such big clans as the Kaiming clan and the silkworm cong clan, while other Shuzhong tribes were far from being able to participate in it.
Feeling the eager eyes cast around him, Wei Xingxing suddenly sneered.
Barbarians are barbarians, and all the ethnic groups in Shuzhong were obviously oppressed by the Qin army in every way before, and they went to participate in the memorial ceremony of the Qin army in humiliation just now, and now when they heard the so-called remarks related to interests, they were immediately full of interest.
This is the sadness of having no faith and a sense of collective honor, Wei sighed happily.
Those Shu troops who fought against the Qin army, they knew very well what they could get? But he never thought about what he had done, what he could bring to Shuzhong?
After all, they are also the lowest group of people in Shu, and they have never felt the profound meaning hidden under the word Shu, anyway, no matter what happens in Shuzhong, who is the emperor, they will still pay all kinds of taxes, and there will be no less.
This is also the reason why the Shu army began to retreat after the Shu army suffered a decline. After all, the Shu army understands that only by living can he enjoy a good life, not that Shu is still there, and he can become better.
And the Qin people, who have been fighting in the west for many years against the hydroxyl and Xirong tribes, have understood with the blood and tears of several generations that in the world of the jungle, only by being more brave and brave than the enemy can they survive.
In particular, in the case of isolation, what the Qin army can rely on is its own comrades on the left and right, which is why Wuyi's tragic and majestic military song comes from the mouth of the arrogant Qin, rather than the mouth of the six kingdoms of Shandong, who are deeply washed by Zhou Li and know right from wrong.
The six countries of Shandong all have country names first, and then there are countries. Otherwise, the Jin Dynasty would have been destroyed for only a few decades, and the subjects of the original Jin Dynasty would have begun to call themselves Han, Wei, and Zhao; Zhou has not been extinguished, and there are very few people in the world who call themselves Zhou.
However, the Qin State had the Qin people first, and then the Qin State.
The Qin people originated from the mountains of Longxi, and the Qin people at that time were almost wiped out by the powerful Xirong, Hydroxyl and other tribes, and the monarchs were also killed in battle, but the Qin people survived, and the "Qin" life was continued, and finally became the western power - Qin.
This is also the reason why the Qin army has old armor, no food and grass, old war laws, and a weak country, but it dares to challenge the strongest Wei State again and again, and has millions of corpses, but they go forward and succeed, because they know that the Qin State will not die, the Qin State must be strong, and they can live a better life, and the Qin State is the country of the old Qin people.
And looking at the elders of Shuzhong who looked anxious in front of him, Wei Kai suddenly didn't know what to say.
Alas, the soldiers are not proud of fighting for the country, and the middle and high-level of Shu are not ashamed of the defeat, as if to say that these are the shame of the three clans of the Kaiming clan, the Bai Hui clan, and the silkworm cong clan, and they have nothing to do with us, we are just forced to act.
Subsequently, Wei Kai elaborated on the treaty of the Qin-Shu Alliance, which was probably "mutual assistance and mutual enjoyment, mutual respect, offensive and defensive alliances, and Qinshu is a family", but even so, the elders of the various clans in Shu suddenly smiled.
Because the Qin army is so powerful, not only will it not get the revenge of the Qin army now, but it can be protected by the Qin army, which is really a good deal, not to mention that it can also get a lot of wealth from trade, why not?
In particular, Wei Kai proposed that he was willing to open up the Pingnan region, saying that all the Shuzhong people who participated in the Qin-Shu Alliance could have their own cultivation and trade in it after paying a certain amount of taxes, and the Shuzhong tribes were even happier.
After all, the one who has always been in the south of Shu is the king of Xinshu. Before, Silkworm Cong, Bai Hao and other three clans jointly sent troops, in the final analysis, it was also for the position of the king of Shu, and now they got it without much effort, so aren't they all heroes of the Shu people.
Seeing this, Wei Kai smiled and did not speak. After the Shu people in the forest went down the mountain, registered and made a register, and lived a comfortable life, Wei Kai believed that absolutely no one would want to return to the forest again, living a miserable life in the deep mountains and old forests.
At that time, although the Shu people claimed to be Shu people, they also abided by Qin law like the Qin people, and they were no different from the Qin people, and the Qin State got a large number of people for nothing.
