Text Chapter 14 Linjiang
Jing Ran and the others stayed in this small city of Biansai after meeting Xiaoyue and Gongsun Zhi of Daqin Shangzhu Kingdom, this stay turned out to be seven days, in the days of Gongsun Zhi's mansion, every day was to wander in his huge courtyard, and occasionally accompanied Gongsun Zhi to play chess, and the unruly princess fought together, although it was also in the deep wall high courtyard, but Jing Ran was extremely free, but he did not move for a long time, so Zhang Daring and others were in good spirits, for fear that something would go wrong.
"Is it hard for my little brother to be within my walls?"
On this day, Gongsun Zhi was playing chess with Jing Ran, and he asked: "I know the identity of the little brother nine times out of ten, the whole world has been reversed in the past few days, and it is estimated that we will both have to go to Hexi together in two days." ”
Jing Ran heard Gongsun Zhi say this, and the chess pieces in his hand fell on the chessboard, and the sound of "dang" seemed to be a small, but absolutely sharp blow, hitting his heart.
"Awn..."
"Don't say it, there are no distinguished guests today, and there are no people from Chu State, don't worry."
Jing Ran was about to open his mouth to explain, but Gongsun Zhi stretched out his hand to stop him: "Tomorrow, the old man will set off, and the old man will take you to the place you want to go, and it will be the fate of you and me to know each other." ”
"Thank you, Awen."
Jing Ran got up and bowed down, and Gongsun Zhixuan helped him: "Besides, Xiaoyue's girl is still screaming to beat you out of your bad anger, if you leave, I will have a headache again." Hahaha. ”
Jing Ran thought of the little girl in a red uniform, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously smiled, he knew that this was an excuse made by Gongsun Zhi, but no matter what his purpose was, this old man would never break his word to himself, because he was the most noble Shangzhu Kingdom in Great Qin.
"Ah Weng, I want to take another look at Da Chu, this farewell, I don't know when I will see you again."
Jing Ran's eyes were full of reluctance.
Yes, he was born and grew up in the state of Chu, his grandfather held his hand and saw the country's strong military strength, his father was forced to abdicate in front of his eyes, and finally died in the war, and he himself was after many months of trembling days, and now he can finally go, but the reluctance in his heart comes to his heart again.
Gongsun Zhi didn't know what he was thinking.
"Young man, this person, if you want to be like a phoenix, if you don't fly, you will fall on the plane tree, but if you want to fly, you will definitely go straight to the sky, and the sound of the phoenix will stir for nine days! Do you understand my words? ”
How could Jing Ran not know that he was the phoenix that fell on the plane tree, if he didn't fly, he would soar into the sky, if he didn't sing, he would be a blockbuster!
"Thank you for your enlightenment."
As he spoke, he bowed deeply to Gongsun Zhi.
Gongsun Zhi looked at Jing Ran and nodded slightly.
"Butler, prepare the carriage and horses, let's go to Qinjiang."
"Qin Jiang?" Jing Ran looked at Gongsun Zhi puzzled, he wanted to see the Chu State, how could he take himself to Qinjiang.
Gongsun Zhi motioned for him not to ask more, and smiled slightly: "Let's go, little brother, you'll know when you arrive." ”
In this way, Jing Ran and Gongzhi went out, but this time he did not let Zhang Daring and his party follow, because he knew that Gongsun was there, and no one could do anything to him in the Qin State.
An hour later, the two came to the "Qin River" mentioned by Gongsun Zhi, which is not the "Chu River" in the mouth of the Chu State.
Jing Ran laughed, "This river is called Chu River in my Chu State, and it was originally called Qin River in Qin State." ”
When Jing Ran first fled from Chu to Western Qin, he actually dabbled across this river, but at that time, it was important to flee, who wanted to take a closer look at the scenery.
"Little brother, don't you know that in the past two days, the north and south of the Chu Kingdom have been turned upside down because of one person?"
After speaking, Gongsun Zhi stared at Jing Ran, and Jing Ran knew that his identity was exposed.
"Awn..."
"I said that there are no Chu people today. There are only people who are destined. ”
Gongsun Zhi waved his hand and said: "This river was originally called Fengjiang, and according to legend, it is the birthplace of the Son of Heaven in Zhongzhou. But now it's called Chu Jiang in your Chu country, and it's called Qin Jiang in my Qin country, do you know why? ”
Jing Ran thought for a moment, he didn't know what the person with a great figure and noble status in front of him was going to say.
"The general trend of the world, who can think that it will last forever, when the Son of Heaven in Zhongzhou is strong, he has an army of millions! The surrounding barbarians all worship, but now they can't even call the shots in the name of this small river. ”
Jing Ran looked at the Ah Weng in front of him in surprise, he was no longer the old man who was close to him, and now he was the person who looked down on the world in Linjiang.
"Emperor Mingguang of Great Chu had 500,000 troops back then, and he fought in the east and west, my Great Qin, as well as the Northern Zhao and Eastern Qi, which were not attacked by him one by one, the momentum at that time, the will of heaven was unstoppable. But now, even his own sons and grandsons are dead and fleeing. Are you talking about the general trend of the world, is it relying on the will of God? ”
Jing Ran has always heard of the name of Emperor Mingguang of Great Chu, and in his memory, that person has always been a majestic face, holding a sword in his hand, and fighting in the east and west, how could he have had such a profound consideration.
"You must know that the world is the world of people."
After speaking, he turned around and left Jing Ran, leaving Jing Ran in a daze, "The world is the world of people!" ”
"It's all wrong, my grandfather is wrong, Jingyu is also wrong, none of the princes in this world is right."
The world is long, and it is said that the heroes compete for the deer, but what is this "deer"? Some people think it's territory, some people think it's military power, but a few people think that this competition is chasing people's hearts.
Jing Ran looked at Gongsun Zhi, who was pacing, and his heart was full of excitement, "Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years." He really knows this truth today.
"Thank you, Awen."
Jing Ran bowed his head to Gongsun Zhi, this is a great gift, and he is still the king of Chu.
Gongsun Zhi looked at Jing Ran, who bowed his head, and did not stop it, and accepted it calmly.
"Little brother, please get up, if you have the opportunity in the future, you will call this river "Minjiang", at this time a wish of the old decay. ”
Looking at Jing Ran, Gongsun Zhi said leisurely: "The war between the north and south of Chu has changed a lot in the past two days, do you know that the southern Chu has been defeated. ”
"What!"
Jing Ran was taken aback, what did Gongsun Zhi say at this juncture, and Jingyu thieves, in Chu Du Pacification, the battle ahead was presided over by Jing Nuo's person who was above the top, at least when they left the barracks, the battle was carried out according to plan, if nothing else, the main force of Northern Chu led by Jing Nuo might be wiped out in Hulu Valley, but now how could it be the defeat of Southern Chu!
Seeing his surprised expression, Gongsun Zhi sighed: "Not only that, but in the Shangdang County of your Chu State, under the leadership of that reckless man of Yingwu, my Great Qin suffered a big defeat and loss, and most of the 300,000 horses were lost. ”
"What!"
Jing Ran was really surprised at this time, in just seven days, the general trend of the world has undergone such a big change.
Jing Ran learned from Gongsun Zhi that after Suzhou learned that Jing Nuo was bent on going his own way and led the main force to the southern capital, he went to Chudu by express train, and met Jing Yu who was about to go to the front line on the way, Jing Yu and others rode all the way, and finally arrived before the army entered the gourd valley, Jing Yu personally beheaded Jing Nuo with a knife formation, took over the command, and the general Yao Rui, who had the grace of his life, was also beheaded together to sacrifice the flag, and Jing Yu did not delve into it after learning that Jing Ran had escaped, after all, the war was together, Where can I take care of Jingyu, a grasshopper.
But the news of Jing Yu's arrival Jing Hao didn't know that Jing Yu led the Northern Chu army to plan and calculate, using the old and weak soldiers as bait, and personally led 30,000 elites from the trail to penetrate the back of Jing Hao's army.
As a result, Jing Hao's army was ambushed in the Hulu Valley, and as soon as he saw the old, weak, sick and disabled arranged by Jing Yu, he started a war, and the more he fought, the more wrong it became, and the soldiers of Northern Chu were also the seeds left by Emperor Mingguang, even if they were ambushed, they would not be so unbeaten.
Just when Jing Hao and others felt that something was wrong, Jing Yu's 30,000 army came out from behind, so far, the 200,000 people of the Southern Chu army lost 80,000 people, and they were defeated and lost, if it weren't for the desperate resistance of General Wei Xian's 10,000 scout cavalry, even Jing Hao would have to die in the chaos.
Originally, Suzhou proposed to directly lead the army to capture the southern capital, so that the divided Chu State would be reunited, but after the news came from the direction of Shangdang County, Jingyu decided to collect troops and return to China first.
It turned out that the life of the Qin State was not easy, the Western Qin Eastern Expedition General Yingwu led the army to accept the party, but the Zhao State intervened, and the two countries also officially went to war, at the beginning of the war, the Qin State relied on the superior troops, and the Qin State had been strong for many years, the morale was strong, and once occupied the advantage, the Zhao State led the general Zhao Meng's scholarly spirit, and forced the veteran Li Mu to fight, and as a result, the loss of troops and the Nansai City defender Li Tong was killed, Li Yuan was killed, and the Nansai City was also lost. But the veteran came out and quickly stabilized the situation, Zhao Meng was relieved of military power, returned to Zhao to report to work, Li Mu took over the command of the front, and the situation was reversed in an instant.
Li Mu ordered the army to retreat to Shangdang City, recover all the troops of the fortress, and hoard them in Shangdang City, Yingwu was full of joy, and as a result, he divided his troops to occupy the fortress, resulting in the dispersion of the troops and being trapped under the fortified city.
Seeing that the time had come, Li Mu ordered his generals to lead more than 30,000 cavalry guards left by King Zhaowu of Great Zhao to attack the Qin army from the flank overnight, and the superior infantry in the city, the former army of Great Zhao went out of the city to fight. The armies of Qin and Zhao began to fight a decisive battle under Shangdang City.
The final result is not surprising, due to the measures of the Qin army's division strategy, resulting in the original dominant Qin main force, but became weak, after a night of fighting, the Qin army left nearly 30,000 corpses defeated and retreated, and then the Zhao army group chased after it, until the abandoned city of Chu State, before the garrison waited. In this battle, the Qin State lost more than 100,000 elite people, but the king of the Qin State must not stop there, and at this time in the battle, whoever retreats will lose a complete defeat, which is an absolutely unacceptable defeat for the Qin State who is bent on going east. Besides, Zhao Guo will not have a good time.
So the king of Qin issued an order to let Sun Zhi, the prince of Shangzhu, go to the front-line military camp to take over the army, and ordered Zhao Yi, the palace supervisor of Chang'an, to lead 100,000 newly formed troops to the front. Prepare to fight Zhao Guo to the death.
In this way, Gongsun Zhi was ordered to go to the front line.
Jing Ran looked at the person in front of him who he had been calling "Ah Weng" since he had known him, and it turned out that he was the most valuable asset of the Qin State. This is true of those who are ordained in times of crisis.
However, there is still a small question in his heart, that is, on the day he entered the city, the city gate guard said "family", what did he mean by "family", and he asked the servants in the house, but they all shook their heads and did not answer.
While he was thinking about it, Gongsun Zhi smiled and said, "But it's okay now, maybe you will really call me Ah Weng in the future." ”
Gongsun Zhi smiled, looked at Xiao Yue, who came on horseback in the distance, and said jokingly.
Jing Ran seemed to understand something, and he had also heard about the marriage between the two countries, but from Gongsun Zhi's mouth, the weight was definitely different.
"Awn, don't you mean that?"
"Haha, little brother, you'll find out later."
