Chapter 157: Detachment
In the ceremony of the surrender of the King of Wei to the Qin army, the King of Wei was a sad loser, he imitated the etiquette of the ancient Wei Ziqi surrender to the King Wu of Zhou, the meat was self-bound, the sheep were carried to the grass, and the knees were walked to the head of the three heads in front of the Wang Ben carriage, extremely humble, and regarded himself as the concubine of Qin.
"Wei Zhi to Qin, such as the Hou Ye of Yiguan, has always asked for it...... Although the ministers are not virtuous, the king of Qin is angry and angry, and the crimes of the ministers are also ......"
"But if the king of Qin can patronize the former good, not to ignore the society of Wei, to emulate the old things of defending the country, so that the ministers can get a county of land to serve the blood of the ancestors, the favor of the king of Qin, the wishes of the ministers, dare to hope, dare to spread the heart, and hope that the general can sue the king of Qin......"
In the fake heart of the King of Wei, perhaps he hoped that this submissive attitude of non-resistance could be exchanged for the forgiveness of the King of Qin, and like the King of Zhou Wu Shi Wei Ziqi and the King of Chuzhuang Shi Zheng Xianggong, he would retain the blood food of Wei.
After all, he is different from Yan Wangxi, who sent people to assassinate the King of Qin, Zhao Wangqian, who appointed Li Mu to defeat the Qin division repeatedly, and Han Wang'an, who let Zheng Guo enter Qin as a spy to try to exhaust Qin. Last year, when Xinzheng rebelled in Yingchuan County, there was a Korean prince Hengyangjun who asked Wei for assistance, and the King of Wei was busy selling them, and actually reported the matter to Qin.
And when Wang Ben attacked Chen Ying of Chu State, Wei State was sitting on tens of thousands of troops, located in the rear of the Qin army, but he did not dare to move, and even allowed the Qin army to cross the border.
Therefore, the king of Wei pretended to be a little aggrieved in his heart, and now he didn't dare to think about hoping that Qin would retain his throne, and he only wanted to be moved to a certain county to be a feudal monarch like his former vassal Wei Guo, which was better than Han Wang'an being imprisoned and killed, and Zhao Wangqian being exiled to the remote Hanzhong mountains and not knowing what happened......
However, as the victor, Wang Ben was expressionless, and waited for King Wei to finish his wish, then got out of the car to help him up, and said with a smile: "The wish of the king, after arriving in Xianyang, you can state it to the king in person!" ”
King Wei's fake face turned pale in an instant, and no matter how humble his posture was, he couldn't change his fate of becoming Qin Yu.
King Qin is not King Wu of Zhou, let alone King Chuzhuang, the warm and affectionate act of destroying the country and saving his society and blood food is already an old story of Yin Zhou Chunqiu. In the new era, Qin's strategy is very firm: "There is no forgiveness for winning the country!" ”
Not only was the King of Wei going to be escorted to Xianyang, but even the concubines and concubines in the palaces of Wei were also required to go out of the city today.
They did not have a good time in the siege, but now they are reluctant to leave the familiar palace. But Wei Wangzhen is like a frosted eggplant, what can they do? Under the threat of the blade, these weak and delicate bodies in brocade clothes and jade food could only cry and cry, get into the chariot that Wang Ben had already prepared, and follow the king of Wei to the west.
Heifu, who was standing in the Qin army watching this scene, only remembered a sentence from the textbook.
"The concubine and concubine, the prince and the grandson, resigned from the palace downstairs, came from Qin, sang the night strings, and was a member of the Qin Palace."
The treasures, treasures, and beauties that the Wei State greedily collected in the past dynasties were just wedding dresses for Qin in the end.
After that, it was the ministers, princes and grandsons who came with Wei sacrificial vessels to offer, and they learned that they were about to be escorted to the customs, causing a commotion and protests. But under the threat of the Qin army's spear, he quickly succumbed, but when he walked west with a deep foot and a shallow foot, from time to time someone looked back at Daliang City, sighed step by step, recalled the past, and couldn't help but feel sad and full of tears.
I don't know who started it, these former elegant and proud doctors, now embarrassed prisoners, sang a ballad in unison.
"He is separated, and he is real. The line is vigorous, and the center is like choking. Those who know me say that I am worried, and those who do not know me say what I want. Hello sky! Who is this? ”
……
"Those princes and grandsons of the Wei State, what are they singing when they travel west?"
On the first day of the fifth month, the day after the Wei king's surrender to the Qin army, Heifu and Chen Ping also left the city of Daliang, which had become a Ze country, and began to return to Humu Township.
While resting on the road, Heifu recalled the situation yesterday and asked Chen Ping, he only knew that "those who know me say that I am worried, and those who do not know me say what I want", as for the meaning of the whole poem, it is not very clear.
"It's "Huang Li", one of Wang Feng's." Chen Ping had recovered from the shock of witnessing the collapse of the Great Liang City, the fall of the Wei Kingdom, and the westward migration of the royal family.
Strange to say, although Chen Ping has always claimed to have studied Huang Lao, Heifu feels that he is not like a pure and inactive Huang Lao disciple at all, but a pragmatist, whether it is Confucian poetry, etiquette, or the sophistry and conspiracy of the Zongheng family, he has learned more or less.
Chen Ping said to Heifu that this "Huang Li" is that after Zong Zhou was destroyed by the dog Rong, some of the doctors of the Zhou room were captured to the north, looking at the former Zongmiao Palace, all of them were He, so he was sad about the subversion of the Zhou room, and he couldn't bear to go, and wrote this poem.
"It's very consistent with the mood of the Minister of Wei." Haifu thought.
They weren't part of the besieging army, so they only watched the beginning of the surrender ceremony, and couldn't watch the whole process. Even the city was not qualified to enter, so it was impossible to see the Qin army entering the Wei Palace to search for the nobles hidden everywhere, and carry the rituals and treasures of the carts and carts.
Heifu just listened to the people who came out and covered their noses and said, except for the royal family and the princess who avoided the high platform of the palace and basically survived, the population in the city suffered a lot of casualties, most of them died of epidemics, and a small number of them were swept away by the flood that washed into the city when the wall collapsed.
Because of the water attack, the grain was moldy, so many ordinary people starved to death, almost every household died, and the corpses had nowhere to be buried, and there were rotting corpses in every room, and the smell was extremely bad.
"Fortunately, I didn't bring Gong Ao with me." Heifu secretly thought that seeing this situation, the angry young man would think of the tragedy caused to their family by Bai Qi's attack on Yan back then.
As a result, the plague-ridden beams lost their value to the Qin army, and they demanded that those who were still alive and able to move out of the city on their own and disperse everywhere. As for those who are terminally ill and unable to move, they don't have to spend energy to treat them, just let them disappear with the dead city......
After the population leaves one after another, the Liang will be abandoned, and when it comes back in a few years, the former Liangcheng Palace will be uninhabited, and the market will definitely not have the prosperity and glory of the city, only after the flood has receded, a lush millet seedling absorbs the nutrients of the corpse, grows to its heart's content, and maybe occasionally there is one or two wild pheasant wails.
He is separated, and he is real.
But the destruction of a city and the destruction of a country are not easy things to do. The Wei state did not simply die from external violence, but from internal festering and its own constant mistakes.
This mistake has now caused more than 100,000 people in Daliang City to leave their homes in a hurry.
Therefore, on the road they were traveling, they were also crowded with endless crowds of people, most of whom had just run out of Daliang City, with oxen and carriages from rich families, and more rickshaws from poor families, full of valuable objects that they could salvage from their homes. This caused shouting, scolding, and crying on the road.
The lost people stumbled in the crowd looking for their relatives, and there were even gangsters who brazenly looted their belongings and insulted the women, and the Qin army who was guarding them only occasionally came to maintain order, causing the invisible detachment to move extremely slowly.
These people will be scattered to Chenliu, Waihuang, Yangwu and other places to resettle, but their future livelihoods are unknown. The aristocracy became the head of Qian, the kings and grandsons had no food and clothing, the peasants who lost their land became hired tenant farmers, and the merchants were slightly better and could pick up their old jobs in various counties and townships, but without the prosperous beams, it was still unknown whether they could support themselves and their families.
Heifu rode on his horse, turned his head, looked at the refugees slowly passing in front of him, the numb faces and the blank eyes, and sighed slightly......
Conquest and reunification have never been warm, and most of them have been violent destruction, which has only suffered the people.
Fortunately, as early as the day of the collapse of Liangcheng, Heifu had already asked Dongmen Leopard and others to go back with Humu villagers first, and now only he, Chen Ping, Ji Ying and other seven or eight people are left, so they can arrive at Waihuang before the refugee team.
When they arrived in Waihuang, they found that a porridge shed had been erected outside the city to help the Wei people who had been placed here, and there were also a few Qin people dressed as doctors standing outside the city.
There is a special provision in the Qin law that epidemic patients must be isolated, such as leprosy, and if they are verified, they must be immediately sent to the "furious relocation center" for isolation to prevent infection. But if the condition is serious, he may be "killed", he heard that Xiao Tao's mother died like this.
Hefu and the others were not spared, and after riding to the door, the healer inevitably came to inquire about it.
However, Wai Huang's doctor is Heifu's acquaintance Chen Wuyi, who passed through Wai Huang a few days ago, because Heifu was busy with Yang Xiong's plan to lure the enemy, so he didn't have a chance to meet him.
Now that Chen Wuji saw Heifu, after a few words of greeting, he made a look at Heifu and let Heifu follow him to the porridge shed, and said to him: "Heifu, I just have something to look for you!" It's about the advice on stopping bleeding from the wounds and the battlefield rescue, my master Xia Gong, the letter has been replied! ”
