Chapter 42: The Hero's Loneliness

Han Zhang, the guard of Han Cheng, stood on the city tower, looking at the Qin army that could not be seen at a glance, and surrounded the city. Han Zhang was condescending, looking at the Qin army's camp, there was a faint big flag with a white character written on it. That word, in the sunlight, is particularly conspicuous.

Suddenly, Han Zhang took a breath of cold air and thought: Could it be his opponent, it is Bai Qi, who is known as the most capable of fighting in the Qin State. Soon, the Korean scouts sent back the news, confirming that the commander of the Qin army was Bai Qi.

When the Han army heard that the King of Qin fought in vain, they were all terrified. How can the princes not know the name of the white name. However, although Han Zhang was afraid of Bai Qi, he did not lose the arrogance of the Han man. When the generals took the initiative to surrender to Qin, Han Zhang said loudly: "Born as a Korean man, die as a Korean man." We are deeply favored by the king, how can we sacrifice the city to surrender to Qin. ”

One person said: "The name of Bai Qi is known to all princes." We will not fall, but the city will be destroyed. If you are angry, you will slaughter the city. General, for the sake of the old and young women and children in the city, let's surrender! ”

A few more people also said: "General, let's surrender!" ”

Han Zhang looked at his subordinates who were frightened by Bai Qi, but he didn't have a seizure. Ants are still stealing life, and what about people? Moreover, the two words Bai Qi are indeed frightening, and it can even be said that the coming of death is coming. Whether it is white to break the capital with water, digging Chu Ling; Or in the Battle of Huayang, hundreds of thousands of Wei were annihilated, and tens of thousands of captured people of Zhao State were sunk into the Yellow River.

Everywhere Bai Qi went, there were corpses all over the field, bleeding and drifting. Han Cheng, a small city, how can it stop Bai Qi.

Han Zhang bowed in the direction of Xinzheng, although he knew that he was powerless to turn the tide of the battle and defend the city, but he could not lose the arrogance of the Han man. Han Zhang exclaimed: "I am deeply favored by the king, how can I descend to Qin." Although General Qin is white, I can't lose the character of the Han man. How magnificent it is for an old man to die for the country. ”

The words of Han Zhang ignited the belligerent heart. South Korea is also brilliant. Han's boy is also proud. If you don't fight, surrender to Qin. Although they were able to survive, they also lost their faces, and they no longer had any pride.

Isn't it for the sake of arrogance to live.

Seeing that all the generals were willing to live and die with him, Han Zhang bowed his hands and said gratefully: "The old man can fight with you and Qin. Even if you die in battle, you have no regrets. Eighteen years later, we are a good man again. ”

The generals shouted in unison: "War, war, war." ”

As a general, it is also a supreme honor to be able to get the support of so many people, and to be able to die in battle with so many patriotic people.

Han Zhang saw that the Qin army was besieging but not attacking, and he would not take the initiative to attack the Qin army. Han Zhang strengthened the city and prepared to sacrifice himself for the country; On the other hand, boost morale and live and die with the city. Five days have passed, and there is still no Qin State attacking the city.

One person asked, "General, why didn't the Qin army attack the city?" ”

Although Hancheng is a dangerous city, it is not large. The army in the city was less than 20,000. The Qin State attacked strongly, and this little force could not hold the city. However, why did the Qin State delay in attacking?

Bai Qi delayed giving the order to attack the city, not only the Korean generals couldn't understand it, but even the Qin generals didn't understand. When the official doctor Sima Terrier came to the camp tent, he saw Bai Qi sitting on the desk and reading the military book, and couldn't help asking: "Wu Anjun, why didn't you give the order to attack the city." ”

Bai Qi glanced at Sima Terrier, didn't say anything, and continued to look at the military book in his hand. Seeing that the war was urgent, Wu Anjun was still in the mood to read the military book, and he didn't care about etiquette, so he said angrily: "In Han Cheng City, there are less than 20,000 defenders, and they are by no means our opponents. The last general is willing to lead 3,000 soldiers to break through this city. ”

Bai Qi asked, "Chengfen, how is it?" ”

Sima Terrier saw that Bai Qi did not answer his request directly, but asked about Chengfen. Although he didn't know why Bai Qi said this, he also replied: "Zuo Gengwang and the five doctors Wang Ling surrounded Chengfen, and the soldiers only waited for Wu Anjun to give an order, and then attacked the city and broke the ground. ”

"Good." After Bai Qi finished saying these two words, he was silent.

Seeing this, Sima Terrier hurriedly said: "Han Cheng and Chengfen are the things that our army has taken from their pockets. When we conquer these two cities, the territory west of the mountains of Korea will be owned by our country. Why did Wu Anjun not give the order to attack the city. ”

Bai Qi finally finished reading the military book in his hand, put it away, looked at Sima Terrier, and said in a steady tone: "'Surround Wei to save Zhao', it is worthy of the masterpiece of the soldier Sun Bin." With this plan, King Qi Wei not only defeated the hegemonic Wei State, but also shook the position of Wei State in the vassal states. The six countries of Shandong, there are many soldiers! ”

Sima Terrier cares about the destruction of the city, where can he listen to it, and the meaning of his words is in vain.

Bai Qi noticed the change in Sima Terrier's face, put down the military book in his hand, and said with emotion: "Jiang Taigong has a literary and martial arts strategy, which will be passed on to future generations; Sun Wu had Sun Tzu's Art of War to break the Chu capital; Sima Sui Tho has a general outside, and the military order is not subject to it, and he retreats to the Jin Dynasty and fights Yan; Wu Zi's method has the ability to break Qi and defeat Qin; Sun Bin's method defeated Wei twice. In this era, too many capable and famous generals have been created. ”

Sima Terrier asked, "Wu Anjun, the topic is a little far away. ”

"Not far." Bai Qi said in a steady tone: "If there is a war, there will be soldiers." If you want to become a famous general who turns things around, wins more with less, defeats the strong with the weak, and is a hero of the First World War, you must be familiar with the book of soldiers. The book of war, but it left a lot of wisdom of the ancestors. ”

Sima Terrier asked: "Wu Anjun is familiar with military books, but he has a plan to break Han Cheng and Chengfen." ”

Bai Qi said in a loud voice: "Just Han Cheng and Chengfen, how can they stop the military might of my Great Qin." ”

Sima Terrier listened to the hidden meaning of his words, and asked, "Can Wu Anjun explain it more clearly." ”

Bai Qi smiled and said: "I ordered Han Cheng and Chengfen to be besieged without attacking because I was waiting for King Han to make a mistake. If King Han makes a mistake, we will be able to defeat Korea in one battle. I want South Korea to no longer have the ability to go to war with us. ”

Sima Terrier exclaimed: "Wu Anjun used Han Cheng and Chengfen as bait, and it turned out that he had a big deal. ”

"Han Wangzhi is a talented and visionary king. South Korea is also incapable of recruiting famous generals to confront us. Bai Qi changed his words and asked again, "Whether it is the battle of Xiuyu, we defeat King Han Xuan; or the Battle of Yiyang, defeating King Han Xiang; In the Battle of Huayang, King Han Li defected to our country. We have defeated South Korea many times, why does South Korea always recover its combat strength and fight with us. ”

Sima Terrier said ashamedly: "The last general can't figure it out. ”

"South Korea is a small country, but it is one of the middle of the world, densely populated and commercially developed. Its iron-making technology is developed, and it is known as a good bow and crossbow. This is also the reason why we have been able to defeat the South Korean army many times, but we have not been able to completely defeat them. After a few years of recuperation, South Korea can also make a lot of noise. Bai got up, walked a few steps forward, came to the sand table, and looked at the territory of South Korea, "This time, I want to completely defeat South Korea." I want South Korea, and I no longer have the ability to go to war with my country. ”

Seeing that Wu Anjun was able to knock South Korea down, Sima Terrier hurriedly asked, "How does Wu Anjun plan to solve the hidden dangers of South Korea." ”

Bai Qi asked: "How will King Han react when he sees that Han Cheng and Chengfen are besieged by our army." ”

Sima Terrier blurted out: "King Han will definitely increase his troops and gallop to the aid of Han Cheng and Chengfen." ”

Bai Qi nodded, and pointed to two narrow roads, "South Korea wants to rescue Han Cheng and Chengfen, these two places are the only way." Our army is ambushed here, and reinforcements have not returned. ”

Sima Terrier high-fived and said, "It's wonderful." We defeated the Korean reinforcements. The defenders of Han Cheng and Chengfen learned that the morale of the army would be in turmoil and their morale would be greatly weakened. We will be able to obtain these two cities without bloodshed, and occupy the territory on the western side of Taihang in Korea. ”

"South Korea is defeated, and King Han will be in turmoil. The Korean monarchs and ministers lived in a state of panic, and they did not know where our army would attack. In this way, our opportunity to defeat South Korea has come. This time, if we make a surprise attack, we will cross Taihang and attack this place. Bai Qi pointed to a pass on the east side of Taihang, "Occupy this place, and we will be able to control the way out of Taihang." We continue to use troops to conquer the wild king, and South Korea's Shangdang and Nanyang will become an enclave in South Korea. South Korea will be cut off by us and divided into three. There is no danger to defend in South Korea, and Xinzheng will be exposed to China's iron horse. In this way, South Korea was weakened in the first war, and there was no chance of revival. ”

"It's worthy of Wu Anjun." Sima Terrier praised: "I can come up with such a good plan." South Korea met Wu Anjun, which was unfortunate. ”

"How can South Korea be my opponent." Bai Qi's fingers kept moving, pointing at Zhao Guo Handan and said, "Zhao Guo can be my opponent." ”

Sima Terrier said with a smile: "Wu Anjun defeated the Three Jins, broke the Chu State, conquered the Qi State, and made great achievements. The princes of the world, when they heard the name of Wu Anjun, were all discouraged. Wu Anjun attacked the city and broke the ground, and no one could match it. Behold! The princes of the world, no one is Wu Anjun's opponent. ”

"Nope." Bai Qi's eyes were serious: "There are people in Zhao Guo who can be my opponent." ”

Sima Terrier exclaimed: "Who in Zhao State can be Wu Anjun's opponent?" ”

"The five kingdoms are all together, and the brave crown of the princes is Lianpo; Zhao Hao, the horse service king who defeated our army in a row; led the division of the five countries to break through the hope of the monarchs; There is also the capital of Qi Poyan, Jun Tiandan. These four people are enough to be my opponents. The white eyes were quiet, but they burned with a blazing power, and said: "The old man has fought all his life, and he has never been defeated. The old man has no opponents in his life, and he is too lonely. If the old man can fight these four people, even if he loses, he will die. ”

Sima Terrier saw what Bai Qi said, and it came from the bottom of his heart. Bai Qi caused the Battle of Yique, defeated Han and Wei, and became famous in a battle. To this day, there has never been a defeat or an opponent. It turned out that Wu Anjun, who was the most capable in the eyes of the Qin people, was also eager to have an opponent.

Sima Terrier said in an impassioned tone: "We defeat Korea, and the next target is either Wei or Zhao." Wu Anjun will definitely have the opportunity to compete with Lian Po, Ma Fujun, Wangzhujun, and Du Changjun. Wu Anjun fought with these four, and it would definitely be earth-shattering, crying ghosts and gods. If you can witness it, you will have no regrets in your life. ”

Bai Qi's breathing also became a little short, and said: "If I can fight with them, I have no regrets in my life." ”

Sima Terrier said: "I believe that this day will not be too far away. ”

"Perhaps, this day will never come." The color of Bai Qi's eyes changed slightly, faintly containing tears, and he said abruptly, "Ma Fujun Zhao is extravagant, he is old, and he is suffering from illness, I'm afraid there is not much time left." After the death of Zhao, I hope that after the death of Zhao, I will run for Yan and Zhao Heping. After the death of King Yan Hui, his whereabouts are unknown. Now it is dead or alive, and I don't know. When the war was in full swing, it would be great if we could fight. ”

Sima Terrier hurriedly said: "Zhao State also has the capital Changjun Tiandan, and the Lian Po of the Yongguan princes. ”

Although Bai Qi wanted to be able to fight with him, he couldn't accept a cruel truth. That is, now they have already stepped out of the ranks of old age. God, how much time will they have to live in this troubled world.

"Whether it's me, or Tiandan, or Lian Po. We're all dying. Bai Qi took a deep breath and said abruptly, "Isn't it sad that the hero is lonely?" If Heaven has mercy on me, it will grant what I wish for in life. In this life, there are no regrets. ”

The twilight of the beauty, the end of the hero, and the end of Jiang Lang's talent, these are indeed the three sorrows of life.

"For yourself, for your opponents. I want to live well. Bai Qi put away the sadness in his heart, refreshed, and said in a bright tone: "Pass the order and prepare for war with Korea." ”
