Chapter 268 Gong is also Great Qin, and Crime is also Great Qin! (Ask for full order)

Xiangping City should be regarded as one of the earliest military cities in Chinese history.

The location of Xiangping City is located in the old town of Liaoyang City in later generations, in the ancient Warring States Period, belongs to the absolute primitive jungle, and the Liaodong region of later generations is different, later generations from Hebei to the north, called the Northeast full of Liaodong, and the climate impression of the Northeast is cold and dry.

Many southerners feel that as soon as they arrive in the Northeast, the moisture of their skin will evaporate and peel, but in the Northeast more than 2,000 years ago, the climate was still very humid, moist to the point of swamps, and the largest Songnen Plain in the Northeast was still a large amount of swampland when the Great Northern Wilderness was developed in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

In the early days, the concept of Northeast China was basically concentrated in the territory of Yan and Jizi Korea, that is, the Liaohe Plain and the upper reaches of the Liaohe River.

But the development time is also very limited, the whole north of Yanshan is still the territory of the Northeast indigenous peoples, with Fuyu, Huiqian, Sushen three tribal alliances as the mainstay, Huiqian is a fishing and hunting nation developed from the Xingkai Lake cultural group, should be a vassal state in the original Shang Alliance, and later the Shang migration within the family, coupled with climate change, Haoqian stayed in the ancestral land, in the later period and Buyeo, Su Shen in the struggle, forced to go to sea part of the exile to the Korean Peninsula, part of the exile to Japan.

The Sushen Alliance originated in the north of Changbai Mountain, west to the Songnen Plain, and also belonged to the fishing and hunting tribes, but because Sushen was the Central Plains in the Xia and Shang periods, so he learned some planting and grazing techniques, but due to geographical and climate change reasons, he never went out of northern Liao, and when he could go out, Donghu had already taken shape, and he could only thrive in the bitter cold land of northern Liao.

The last Buyeo alliance was an alliance of the Hao, Sushen, and Yanqi people from the east, and they were the first tribes to follow the Central Plains system to establish a state, and once established a very powerful Goguryeo in the northeastern region.

In addition to Donghu, the borders of these three minority regimes are the Jizi Joseon and Yan Kingdoms, as well as the Guzhu Kingdom during the strong period.

After the decline of the Guzhu State, it lost its right to rule north of Yanshan, and the territory was divided by the former Fang State, which later became the base of the Donghu Alliance, until 284 BC, when the Yan general Qin broke through Hu Qianli and broke the territory, and then this territory was re-incorporated into the copyright of the Central Plains forces.

But although this land is vast and sparsely populated, rich in products, but the climate is cold and wild beasts are rampant, after nearly two thousand years of development of the Shang people, the lone bamboo, and the three ancient tribes, this land in eastern Liaodong is still a lofty mountain, dense forests and swamps, wild beasts and poisonous insects are rampant, and the arable land resources are very limited, and the development cost is large, this area has been abandoned, and has become a hunting ground.

The establishment of a military city in such a place that 'has no development and utilization value' is undoubtedly prepared by Qin Kai in order to leave a back road for the Yan Kingdom.

Wang Xu originally thought that the place he crossed was enough for the environment to be 'primitive', but compared to the Liaodong in front of him, it was still a small thing.

For two days in a row, he shuttled through a 'endless ancient road' that had been dug by a population but looked like it had not been repaired for a long time, giving Wang Xu the illusion of a shuttle tunnel.

If it weren't for the rock road dug out from under this road, which has been paved for decades, it has been confirmed that this ancient road is artificially built, Wang Xu really wants to turn around and go.

But fortunately, after two days of suffering, counting the time from Liaoyang City, it was just eight days, and 30,000 cavalry traveled about 200 miles a day at a constant speed, and finally saw the Xiangping City hidden in the mountains and forests.

The huge Xiangping City is here, it really looks like a lonely city surrounded by forests, abrupt and absurd.

"It's done." Wang Li jumped down from the carriage with a somewhat ugly face, and moved his muscles, "This is much more painful than when we migrated, Qin Kai built the city here, it is a dead city, and the siege of the army is enough to trap them." ”

"This city itself is the last place for Yan Kingdom, and people are gambling on your army, and they can't survive this road." Wang Xu smiled: "But this road is really a bit long." ”

"It's nothing long, the point is weird, if you don't have a map to explore by yourself, unless it's like my Ah Weng looking for Liaoyang City, hundreds of thousands of troops will push it over." Wang Li used his sword to chop down the towering ancient trees on both sides, "Yes, although it is not as tall as the tree of the ancestral mountain, it is a lot thicker." ”

"The varieties are different." Wang Xu smiled, "Let's go, go into the city and have a look." ”

The city wall of Liaoyang City is nearly 100 feet high, which can be said to be a male city, but the city wall of Xiangping City seems to be higher, but the city wall is built with rammed earth and gravel, and it seems that the defense is not strong, but there is a giant crossbow on the city wall, and there is one in almost fifty steps, which shows that this is really a military fortress.

Judging from the giant crossbow and the banners fluttering on the city wall, even if Xiangping City should not have seen the enemy for many years, it is still very careful about the maintenance of ordnance, at least it proves that the county guard who governs Xiangping City is a qualified commander.

Zhai Qiu took the lead in entering the city with the Lan Jia army and the royal army, occupying all the military important places, and then raised the banner to welcome Wang Xu into the city.

After entering the city gate, Wang Xu found that this is actually just an outer city, there is an inner city inside, although the city wall is not high, but it is basically built with bricks and stones, and the inner city and the outer city are all cultivated land.

However, at this time, in the fields of the outer city, there were all kneeling in the people of Xiangping City, Wang Xu looked at the past, his heart was shocked, and he couldn't help but shout angrily, "Yan Wang Xi this old fox!" ”

Wang Li also retracted his gaze and frowned.

Because the people kneeling outside, half white-headed, half childish.

Wang Xu then understood why Yan Wangxi handed over the seal to that weird smile.

No wonder he wasn't worried about the fifteen-year covenant at all, and the elite soldiers became remnants.

It turns out that these 100,000 elite soldiers are all children and teenagers! This is the Doll Army!

Not only can he not use these 100,000 elite soldiers, but he even has to help him take care of and train these baby soldiers, thinking of this, Wang Xu has a little tightness in his chest.

Sure enough, none of these kings are good people, they are all shrewd and calculating!

Wang Xu took a look, these people in Xiangping City are basically rare and young, and most of them are old women with Huafa, and the oldest of the remaining children looks like they are eight or nine years old, and they should generally be around six or seven years old, and after fifteen years, the oldest of these children is only twenty-five or six years old, which is indeed the most elite age.

However, judging from the structure of the residents of Xiangping City, it can also be seen that these old people and children should have been sent before Yan Dan assassinated Qin, because these are two generations of broken generations, and in the words of later generations, these are all left-behind old people and left-behind children.

And from the longing and hopeful gaze of some children looking at the Lone Bamboo Army, Wang Xu's heart was sour.

Because of this kind of gaze, it is very similar to the eyes of every time he was in a bad mood when he was a child, he sat at the door of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and looked at passers-by.

Because the old man always told him that his parents were not with him because they went out to work.

Seeing that Wang Xu was a little stunned, Wang Li frowned and asked, "Something?" ”

"Nope." Wang Xu came back to his senses and smiled, "This is what Xiangping City should look like, remote and lonely." ”

"There is also such a city in the Qin State." Wang Li smiled, "After the dedication of the prince to conquer the land of Hexi, the relict order issued rewarded the remnants of the six countries to enter Qin, and at the same time moved the old Qin people of Longxi into Yongcheng, hundreds of thousands of people went out of Liyang, only to see the white head and the child. ”

"These old Qin people in Yongcheng have created your Daqin's current hegemony." Wang Xu smiled.

"Yes, these old Qin people in Yongcheng followed King Huiwen, King Zhaoxiang and Wang Shang to attack Wei, destroy Han, attack Chu, and Kezhao to make great achievements." Wang Li said with a smile: "They have traveled all over the rivers and mountains of Daqin today. ”

"I just can't go back to Yongcheng." Wang Xu narrowed his eyes and sighed lightly.

"You are too pessimistic, there are still more than 100,000 old Qin people who can return to Yongcheng." Wang Li smiled, "However, Yan Guo doesn't have this opportunity." ”

Wang Xu smiled, feeling that the carriage was suddenly much smoother, and when he opened the curtain again, he saw that he had entered the inner city.

The floor of the inner city is made of brick and stone rammed earth, and the layout of the houses is not too far from Liaoyang City, but it can be clearly seen that the structure of the houses is not only based on wood, but also a large number of stones.

The carriage stopped in front of a not-so-luxurious royal palace, and a huge stone sculpture ten meters high was erected on the bluestone-paved square, carving the image of a heroic general, as if guarding the entire Xiangping City.

"Qin Kai." Wang Li jumped out of the carriage, raised his head and said softly, "He is a virtuous general, almost single-handedly reversed the danger of Yan Guo's annihilation, and without the slightest help of Yan Guo, in the end he was a thousand miles away, but unfortunately in the end he could only defend the Eastern Wilderness, if King Yan Zhao used him back then, he might not have anything to do with Le Yi." ”

"Qin Kai's life seems to have only been determined to resist Donghu and prevent the westward advance of Jizi Korea, and the two have different aspirations." Wang Xu shook his head and said with a smile, "In terms of merit, both belong to the same level, both of them are to save Dayan from danger, but a famous general has fulfilled his duties all his life, even if he is dutiful." ”

"In short, a hero." Wang Xu nodded and smiled, and bowed his hand respectfully at the stone carving.

"If you were to be given an image, how high would you stand? I've heard that Mokui is going to erect a statue of you on a mountain. Wang Li also arched his hand at the stone sculpture and asked with a smile.

"I'm not interested in this, with these laborers, it's better to cultivate a few more acres of wasteland." Wang Xu shook his head.

"Alas, if only all the kings of the world thought the same way as you." Wang Li sighed and said, "The mausoleum of each prince and general consumes enough labor to feed the people of the world. ”

"Otherwise, how can they be revealed?" Wang Xu sneered and shook his head, "Remember, after you go back, don't mention these things in front of King Qin." ”

Wang Li frowned and nodded, looking at the old man in the Xuanrobe who was brought over by Yu Chun, his pupils shrank, and he was slightly stunned.

Because the robe on this old man's body is a regular dress that only the Great Qin Shangqing can enjoy, and those who are not important ministers cannot get it, and the Wang family only has two.

"Yan Guo, Xiangping County Shou, meet the Lonely Bamboo God." The old man in the robe bowed down to Wang Xu.

"Sir, please get up." Wang Xu smiled and looked at the old man.

Soldiers have a special temperament, even if they are old and their blood is dry, they still can't be hidden, and the more experienced the soldiers, the more unique the temperament on their bodies.

The temperament of this old man, Wang Xu felt that he was close to Wang Ben's level, and he was immediately a little interested in the identity of the old man, after all, he was able to accept this task sent by King Yan and stick to Xiangping City, and he was definitely not an idle person.

However, there was more curiosity than Wang Li than Wang Xu, and asked in a deep voice, "Mr. is from Qin?" ”

The corners of the old man's eyes full of crow's feet twitched slightly, and the deep eyes that were originally smiling became weird, and he looked at Wang Li, "Why did Your Excellency say this?" ”

"Da Qin Yanque, the general can get it by plundering the land for thousands of miles, and the phase can get it with a hundred strategies, this piece on Mr. is Wu Yanque!" Wang Li said in a deep voice.

"You shouldn't know a finch at your age." The old man in the robe looked at Wang Li with a smile, "Who are you?" ”

The tone of the old man in the robe had become no longer flattering.

Wang Li frowned and pursed his lips, but he would bow respectfully and salute, "The son of the Wang family, the grandson of Wang Qian, has seen Yanque Shangqing." ”

"Wang Qian?" Xuanpao was slightly stunned, his old face was a little moved, and his eyes flashed with remembrance, "A little unfamiliar and somewhat familiar name, it's the old man next to Qin Zheng." ”

The corner of Wang Li's mouth twitched, his expression was a little displeased, and he was about to scold.

Let's not talk about the status of Wang Qian's name in the Qin State, just the derogatory words of him, who called his grandfather, who he had respected since childhood, 'old man', as a grandson, were enough to make Wang Li angry.

Wang Xu stretched out his hand to stop Wang Li, who was about to scold, and said with a smile, "Even if your eldest father is here, he should not be angry when this old gentleman becomes an old man." ”

Wang Li frowned.

"Oh? Does the emperor know who the old man is? The old man in the robe looked at Wang Xu with interest.

"Since the beginning of Mu Gong in the Qin State, there have been endless virtuous generals and good looks, but there are not many Shangqing who lead troops to plunder the land and entrust Anbang when they enter." Wang Xu smiled, "Looking at the old gentleman's age, he should be an important minister during the Zhaoxiang Dynasty, so it is easy to calculate." ”

"It seems that Yanxi is still trustworthy." The old man in the robe smiled and bowed.

"Are you Zhang Tang?" Wang Li looked a little surprised and whispered.

"When the old man was in power, there were a thousand people under Wang Jian's account, if it wasn't for the merit of escorting Qin Zheng, the old man would not remember this person." Zhang Tang said with a smile.

Wang Li's face became more and more ugly.

"Why are you not convinced?" Zhang Tang raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"The juniors don't dare." Wang Li suppressed the anger in his heart, "The thousands of people under Shangqing's account back then now think that they are the heroes of the destruction of the Four Kingdoms, but Shangqing disappeared from the world back then, and now appears in the hinterland of Yan Kingdom, I don't know why." ”

"Destroy Shikoku?" Zhang Tang raised his eyebrows lightly, and said with a loud smile, "Wu Anjun has not destroyed a country, it seems that it is difficult to be called a hero, and he will not die unjustly." ”

Wang Li's face turned pale.

"As soon as this person dies, all his merits will be written off, interesting, interesting." Zhang Tang laughed a little wildly, and then looked at Wang Li and said with a smile, "It's a pity that the old man is still alive, and your eldest father doesn't dare to claim to himself for his contribution to destroying the Four Kingdoms." ”

"Oh?" Wang Li gritted his teeth and snorted coldly, "The old gentleman is afraid that he has lived in the wilderness for a long time, and he has no understanding of current affairs. ”

"Now the little doll can also lead the army?" Zhang Tang smiled dumbly.

"It's rude." Wang Xu frowned and patted Wang Li's shoulder: "Even if you don't pass on your art of war, you don't pass on the general of the Qin State?" ”

"I naturally know the name of Zhang Tang Shangqing, but he was confused by Ganluo back then, and went to Yan State as a minister, and finally disappeared after attracting the Five Kingdoms to attack Qin." Wang Li snorted coldly.

"This puzzle word is used very well, it seems that it is Wang Qian's own grandson." Zhang Tang was not angry, but laughed: "It's so good to be cared for." ”

Wang Li was slightly stunned.

"Gan Luo lobbied the old gentleman back then, compared with Wu Anjun's exploits, it is enough to see that the old man is now making great achievements, so don't be like the juniors." Wang Xu smiled and said, "Xiaoli, you have to remember that your Wang clan now has the merit of destroying the Six Kingdoms, don't forget the five people." ”

Wang Li frowned.

"Think tank, Zuo Xiang Gan Mao, Shaoliang Jun Sima Cuo, Wu Anjun Gongsun Qi, and this old gentleman Anyang Jun Zhang Tang." Wang Xu said slowly, "These five people have swept away all the famous generals of the Six Kingdoms, annihilated more than sixty percent of the elites of the Six Kingdoms, and seized the strategic land of the Six Kingdoms for Great Qin, even if your eldest father is here, he does not dare to be arrogant." ”

Zhang Tang was in a crisis in his heart, but he kept a smile at that time and arched his hand, "I didn't expect the emperor to be so familiar with the immortality of my generation, it's weird." ”

Wang Li's face suddenly turned strange, and he frowned, "These five people seem to be all Great Qin criminals. ”

Zhang Tang's face froze, and his gaze darkened.

"They are not sinners, they are real heroes, but they are also great Qin, and their sins are also great." Wang Xu sighed softly and patted Wang Li's shoulder, "No matter what, you have to give the old gentleman a reckless crime." ”

Wang Li pursed his lips, although he was angry, he still straightened his clothes and bowed to Zhang Tang with the heavy salute of the Qin army.

Zhang Tang's face was expressionless, but the corners of his eyes were inexplicably moist, and he said sadly, "A good merit is also a great Qin, and a crime is also a great Qin!" ”
