Chapter 30: The Descendants of Shang Ying

The 10,000 Wei army continued to attack, and they did not stop!

After the Wei army's crossbow arrows were fired, they found that there were no arrows available, so they simply split the crossbow arrows in two pieces and never left them for the Qin state.

Immediately afterwards, tens of thousands of Wei troops who roared loudly rushed over. The crossbow arrows of the Qin army continued to fire crossbow arrows calmly, which shows that the logistics and transportation capacity of the Qin army is extremely strong. In addition, it also shows that Qin's military-industrial system is more than a star and a half compared to Wei.

Then, the tragic side reappeared. Most of the remaining tens of thousands of Wei troops could only hold short bronze swords, and had to pick up all kinds of long weapons, iron swords, etc., discarded in front, and then rushed towards the Qin army one after another.

After tens of thousands of Wei troops were baptized by the Qin army's crossbow arrows, there were only more than 5,000 people left, and everyone was wounded. But not a single Wei soldier fled timidly, and continued the hopeless attack.

The infantry of the Qin army moved forward in a large array, and by cooperating with each other, they continued to strangle the remnants of the Wei army!

In the end, the Wei army was left with Wu Gang, the defender of Puyang, and dozens of personal soldiers under his command, and was heavily surrounded by the Qin army.

The soldiers of the Qin army continued to roar:

"Surrender or kill! To drop or not to fall? ”

"Surrender or kill! To drop or not to fall? ”

"Surrender or kill! To drop or not to fall? ”

The few dozen remaining Wei soldiers stubbornly and unyieldingly shouted:

"The Wei army will not surrender! Swear not to surrender! ”

"The Wei army will not surrender! Swear not to surrender! ”

"The Wei army will not surrender! Swear not to surrender! ”

Meng Yi couldn't bear it, not to mention that Wu Gang, the general of Puyang, was indeed a talented general, and once again asked the coach Meng Biao to surrender.

And the boss of Meng Fu was happy to see the hunt, and also hoped to set a good example, so he allowed it again.

When the Qin army revealed a gap, Meng Yi took the opportunity to step forward and persuade: "After the general is a famous general Wu Qi, why did he lose his life for the mediocre King Wei." The so-called good birds choose trees to perch, and good generals choose the main things. Why didn't General Wu return to Daqin, make meritorious contributions, and benefit his descendants? ”

"Eat the king's luck, bear the king's worries. Since I am a general of Wei, how can I be greedy for life and fear death, and seek glory from the enemy? ”

Wu Gang, the bloodied Puyang guard, shook his head without hesitation and refused, "As for my subordinates, if there are any people who don't want to die in battle, please take them in." They have tried their best, but unfortunately God will not help Wei, so what can they do? In addition, please be kind to the people of Puyang, they are the most innocent. ”

After speaking, Wu Gang, the general of Puyang, looked up at the sky and shouted: "Heaven is unfair!" ”

The sword slashed its throat with a sharp force, and warm blood surged out in an instant. The hero's soul gradually drifted away, the body of the great shore gradually became cold, and with the sound of a "dang long" long sword falling to the ground, Wu Gang, the general of Puyang, slowly fell down, and gently slept on the hot land of Wei that gave birth to him and raised him!

The remnants of the Wei soldiers wept in grief and shouted, "How can we steal our lives if we have received the great favor of the general? ”

As a result, dozens of Wei soldiers cut themselves off.

Meng Yi couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Military talent is the last backbone of a country!" ”

Wei Wushu was an elite heavy infantry trained by Wu Qi, a famous Wei general in the early Warring States period. Xunzi once said: "The skill of Qi cannot meet the warriors of the Wei clan, and the warriors of the Wei clan cannot meet the sharp soldiers of QinΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·." Those who encounter it will be scorched and thrown into stone." Wu Qi trained Wei Wushu that year, "Wei's Wushu takes it by degree, clothes the armor of the three genera, exercises the crossbow of twelve stones, bears fifty arrows, puts it on it, crowns and swords, wins three days of food, and tends to a hundred miles in the middle of the day." The pilot test will be restored. The soldier wears triple armor, holds a sword with a sword, exercises a crossbow of 12 stones, carries 50 crossbow arrows in the negative arrow bag, carries three days' rations, and can walk a hundred miles in half a day. Once you become a military pawn, you can enjoy preferential treatment.

Back then, Wu Qi led Wei Wushu to fight in the southern and northern wars, and achieved the miraculous feat of "seventy-two battles, sixty-four victories, and the rest regardless of victory or defeat". Since the founding of Wei Wushu for 30 years, Wu Qi led Wei Wushu to capture Hangu Pass, and after 64 battles, he seized more than 500 li of land on the west bank of the Yellow River of Qin, and compressed Qin to a narrow strip west of Huashan. According to the records in "Wu Zi Lishi", in the battle of Yin and Jin in 389 BC, Wu Qi defeated the Qin army ten times larger than him with 50,000 Wei troops, and created a famous battle in the history of Chinese warfare with 50,000 feet, 100 cars and 3,000 horses, and 500,000 people in Qin, so the Wei Wushu should be full of about 50,000 people at its peak. Wei Wushu was the most elite and fierce infantry soldier in the world. In addition, the other six kingdoms had all suffered from the Wei Wushu, and the powerful Wei Wushu enabled the Wei state to establish hegemony.

However, after the defeat of Pang Juan, the commander of the Wei State, the glorious hundred-year-old Wei Wushu, his vitality was greatly damaged and his prestige was no longer there. Wei Wushu witnessed the period of the strongest period of the Wei state, and now also witnesses the loss and weakening of the hegemony of the Wei state.

And then the Ruishi of the Qin State also appeared on the stage of history, and the Qin State became another glory.

"Our army lost more than 10,000 and 5,000 casualties, and more than 5,000 were seriously wounded, not counting minor injuries. Eighty thousand enemy troops were killed, and none of them were spared! Meng Tian reported with respect the statistics of casualties after the war, and admired the courage of the Wei army to fight to the death.

"Hey, kill a thousand enemies, and lose eight hundred. The casualties of our army were only a quarter of that of the enemy, which was already a great victory. The old general Meng Fu said with great emotion, "I think that in the Battle of Changping, after 600,000 Qin troops beheaded and killed 400,000 Zhao troops, they also suffered 150,000 casualties. ”

Puyang was the capital of Wei, a small state affiliated to Wei. The country has a long history.

Defending the country followed the national style of the Zhou Dynasty, emphasizing etiquette and poetry, and ignoring civil affairs and military affairs, as a result, the country prevailed in the country, and the country could not be a country, and the king was not a king!

Weiguo is a very strange country.

When it comes to bloodline, it is a descendant of Uncle Kang, the younger brother of King Wu of Zhou, and it is so pure that it can no longer be pure Ji Zhou Zongguo.

When it comes to location, it is located in the old land of the old Shang Dynasty, in the middle of the world, with fertile land and a thriving population.

When it comes to talents, Zigong, Shang Ying, and Li Kui, these virtuous abilities that are famous all over the world in later generations are all from the defense of the country.

But in this way, he has all the time, place, and people to defend the country, and has been unknown and willing to be mediocre in the five hundred years of turmoil in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

But such an obscure patriot has become the last survivor of this "world of great controversy" in history, Qin Shi Huang ruled the world, but still retained the fief of defending the country until the death of Qin II.

Lao Ziyun: The softest in the world, the strongest in the world.

Is weakness an original sin or a way of survival?

Puyang Wei King's Palace. A welcome banquet is taking place.

The organizer is Wei Yuan, the monarch of the patriotic country, and the guests are naturally the victors from afar - the generals of the Qin army led by the commander Meng Fu.

In the middle of the banquet venue, a group of singers and dancers performed to their heart's content, turning left and right tirelessly, and they were still turning around for thousands of circles. They danced their sleeves to the sound of drums, like snowflakes fluttering in the air, like fluffy grass fluttering in the wind, and even the speeding wheels felt slower than them, and even the rapid whirlwind was inferior in comparison. Immediately afterwards, there were even dancers dancing with swords, the sword light was dazzling, like Hou Yi shooting down the nine suns, dancing vigorously and agilely, just like the gods flying with dragons. When the sword dancer dances, the sword momentum is like a thunderbolt, which makes people breathless, and the dance is calm, like the waves of the river and the sea.

The voices of the singers are beautiful and long:

He is separated, and he is the seedling. The line is vigorous, and the center is shaky. Those who know me say that I am worried; Those who do not know me say what I want. Who is this?

He is separated, and he is the spike of grass. The line is vigorous, and the center is drunk. Those who know me say that I am worried; Those who do not know me say what I want. Who is this?

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; Those who do not know me say what I want. Who is this?

"The voice of the dead country, the country is small and poor, and it is still wasting manpower, material resources and financial resources on these beautiful sounds!" After all, the old general Meng Fu is well-informed, and he can see through this luxurious life at a glance.

"Grandfather, the etiquette system of the Zhou Dynasty was still reasonable in the early stage, after all, the Zhou Dynasty was once powerful at that time, legitimizing and ceremonializing various patriarchal feudal systems from the Son of Heaven to the Shu people, and balancing the interests of all parties. Moreover, the combination of music and dance and etiquette at that time maintained the authority of Zhou Tianzi to a certain extent, which was conducive to the rule of the Zhou Dynasty. But now the system of etiquette and music has completely become a tool for the pleasure of the powerful, and it has no benefit to the people of the country. Meng Yi hit the nail on the head and analyzed the etiquette system of the Zhou Dynasty to the top.

After Meng Tian listened, he was thoughtful.

And Wei Yuan, the monarch of the country, was pale, but he was helpless, because "people are swordsmen, and I am fish and meat", what can I do?

At this time, the quick horse came to report: The envoy of the King of Qin has arrived!

The old general Meng Fu naturally led everyone to meet the envoy of the King of Qin.

The person who came was none other than Zhao Gao, the notorious eunuch of later generations!

Zhao Gao, the envoy of the King of Qin, only conveyed the will of the reward according to the usual practice. But after everyone dispersed, the eunuch Zhao Gao privately grabbed Meng Yi and whispered the secret decree of King Yingzheng of Qin: We must find the descendants of Shang Ying!

"The descendants of Shang Ying? Isn't Shang Ying a queenless? Meng Yi asked in surprise.

"This is the official statement of the Qin State! In order to stabilize the situation in the court, King Qin Hui was forced to kill Shang Ying's entire family on the surface, but secretly sent someone to send Shang Ying's young son to the Weiguo clan for adoption. As a top secret, this matter has always been known only to the Qin kings of previous dynasties. The eunuch Zhao Gao slowly told the secret of the year.

In this way, the descendants of Shang Ying still remain in the Weiguo clan. It seems that things are easy to do, as long as you find the Patriotic Sect that was taken in back then, everything will be easy to say. Meng Yi exhaled softly, originally thought that he was going to find a needle in a haystack, but he didn't want Shang Ying's descendants to return to the Wei Guo Clan.

Shang Ying, born in the Weiguo clan, was formerly known as Wei Ying. Wei Ying assisted Qin Xiaogong and actively implemented the law change, making the Qin State a rich and powerful country, known as the "Shang Yang Law Change" in history. Politically, he reformed the Qin state's household registration, military titles, land system, administrative divisions, taxes, weights and measures, and folk customs, and enacted draconian laws; Economically, it advocates emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business, and rewarding farming and warfare; Militarily, he led the Qin army to recover the land west of the river and gave Shang Yu 15 Yi, known as Shang Jun, so he was called Shang Ying. Historical records: In 338 BC, after the death of Qin Xiaogong, Shang Ying was reverently accused of rebellion by the prince of Qin, and died in Tongdi, his body was torn apart, and his whole family was killed.

Meng Yi was also very curious, and thought, "I don't know what Shang Ying's descendants look like?" Is there a talent of an ancestor? ”
