……

Zheng State, located in the world, since the beginning of the Spring and Autumn Turbulent Times, is the battlefield of the competition of all forces, the three wars of Jin and Chu, without exception, are fought in the territory of Zheng State, Qin, Qi also covet Zheng land, in the Spring and Autumn Period, the princes like to fight for Zheng the most, who can get Zheng State, who can control the actual hegemony of the Central Plains, so Zheng State is also struggling to survive in this kind of gap between you and me, almost all years without fighting.

However, the past ten years are an exception, since Zheng Bo surrendered to Zhao and took the initiative to enter the Zhou Dynasty to ask for the position of a prince for Zhao Wuxian, Zheng has not suffered a military disaster for ten years. This is a rare period of peace in the history of Zheng Guo, even in the era of the army, this kind of calm has never been there.

As a result, in the dense countryside of Zheng Guo, the people can be safe and secure with men and women weaving, and the teenagers can sing "The mountains have Fusu, and Xi has Hehua" to grow up safely, and they don't have to go into battle with spears at a young age. Outside the east gate of Xinzheng's prosperous economy and culture, young scholars and women can also wear beautiful spring clothes and hum "Qin and Wei, Fang Lianxi." Taxi and woman, Fang Bingxi "drove out for an outing."

Of course, this peace came at a price, and Zheng Guo had to deliver a large amount of money and grain every year in exchange for Zhao's "protection".

Moreover, anyone with a discerning eye knows that Zhao does not swallow Zheng just because Zhao Hou wants to use Zheng as a buffer zone with Chu, and once there is a change in the southern Chu State, this balance will be broken......

Sure enough, as the state of Chu fell into a civil war and was unable to look north, the situation became delicate.

In the autumn and July of the twenty-third year of Zheng Bosheng, the border between Zhao and Zheng, which had been silent for a long time and was almost never garrisoned, suddenly smoke and dust billowed out, and some heavily armed Zhao soldiers drove into Zheng State. At first, the Zheng people in the border towns thought that this was an ordinary military move of the Zhao army, which had been a common occurrence in the past ten years, until these Zhao soldiers seized the city gate, replaced the Zheng flag at the head of the city, and raised the Xuanniao flag of the Zhao state.

"Zhao Guo will not declare war on me Zheng Guo!?" A few days later, the news reached Xinzheng, the capital of Zheng State, Zheng Bosheng looked at the urgent report ahead, and could only whine and lament, this day has finally arrived.

Back then, the thieves slaughtered thousands of prisoners, causing Zheng Guo Ding Zhuang to suffer heavy losses, and ten years ago, the Zhao army went deep into Zheng Guo and occupied many dangerous places. Zheng Guo was originally a flat land, so it was equivalent to not being defended. The current situation is that the Zhao army is divided into four routes, the first army goes south from the Tiger Pass, the first army goes straight to Xinzheng from Daliang, the first army and the Eastern Zhou Jun Liu clan bypass the Songshan East from the Yuyuan Pass, and the soldiers of the Song State also invade from the gap in the west.

Under siege from all sides, how could Zheng Guo, who was only allowed to keep a minimum of armaments after the meeting of Huangchi, resist? Soon, Yingyin, Yi, Yanling, Changge, and cities were captured by the Zhao army, and more surrendered without a fight.

Even Zheng Guo's army did not dare to resist, Zheng Bo asked the troops from all over the country to withdraw to Xinzheng, and at the same time sent envoys to question Zhao Jun: "Zheng serves the great country and is very diligent, but I am afraid that there will be something wrong, now I am not guilty, why do you kill me?" ”

However, Zhao Jun's commander Mu Xia and deputy marshal Zhao Jia replied like this: "Last year, the Son of Heaven died, Zheng Bo did not go to Luo to mourn, and now the lord sent us to lead the army to come to ask for the guilt!" ”

This is really a crime that wants to be added, there is no excuse, the other side is unreasonable, Zheng Bo has nothing to say, he wants to ask for help, but he finds that there is no one in the huge Kyushu, and no one can save him: Song and Zheng are enemies, and Nanzi is a vine attached to Zhao Guo; The state of Qin and the state of Zheng are thousands of miles apart, and the mountains are heavy; The powerful Chu State in the south fell into civil strife and could not protect itself......

So the land and cities of Zheng State fell under the continuous encroachment of the Zhao army, only a month later, on the 15th day of August, the three Zhao armies had arrived under the city of Xinzheng, and the first army bypassed Xinzheng and continued to attack Xu Land in the south.

On this day, the moon and stars were scarce, and Zheng Bosheng went to the city accompanied by Liuqing to overlook, but saw that the Zhao army was overwhelming, and the campfire could surround the huge Xinzheng City several times, which was more prosperous than the siege ten years ago.

"The Zhao army is strong, Xinzheng is only afraid of being defeated......"

When this army was pressing, Zheng Guo, who was alone in a corner of the Central Plains, was naturally shocked and fearful. war, most of them are defeats; And, Zhao Hou will inevitably not allow it; Surrender can save the living souls from being destroyed, but Zheng Guosheji may be difficult to preserve.

For a while, Zheng Bosheng's heart was full of hesitation, swaying left and right between descending and not descending.

And the six Mu Si clans, Guo clans, Liang clans, Yin clans, You clans, and Feng clans left after the destruction of the Han clan of Zheng Guo were also struggling in their hearts.

Zheng State is commercially developed, Zhao State merchants can come and go freely, spies are naturally a lot, since the autumn, there have long been Zhao Hou's spies have been in contact with Liumu, to Shan, Liu Er's dedication to the land to become the Eastern Zhou Jun, the West Zhou Jun, carved up the Zhou land as an example, and strongly persuaded Liumu to surrender the city. It is also said that the Marquis of Zhao can ensure the continuation of their clan, and each of them can get a big city, as the county monarch of Zhao State is one level lower than the feudal monarch, and enjoy wealth forever.

So the six Mu all persuaded Zheng Bosheng to open the city and surrender to Zhao.

Zheng Bosheng was still very hesitant, and after prevarication, he walked in his flower garden that night to think about the pros and cons of the battle.

Instead, a young official named Lie Yukou who guarded the flower garden for Zheng Bo said to him: "The little minister knows what the king is worried about. Now the six Mu have all descended to Zhao, but the king cannot descend. Because Liumu surrendered, you only need to change the monarch to serve, and you can keep the territory, and the king will surrender to Zhao, who knows where Zhao Hou will place you. ”

Uncle Zheng was shocked, as if grasping a life-saving straw, and asked, "What should the widow do?" ”

Lie Yukou smiled and said: "Although my name is Yukou, I don't advocate war, in my opinion, the king still has to surrender." ”

"Didn't you say that if the widow descends, he will be slaughtered by Zhao Hou, and I don't know where he will be placed?" Zheng Bo was so anxious that he stomped his feet.

"Since the monarch has succeeded to the throne, all he has relied on is the prince, since the princes have colluded with the interests of Zhao, the people are addicted to peace and have no heart to fight to the death, even if you want to resist to the end, you are just a lonely person. Surrender without a fight, although the future is uncertain, at least he can save his life, and if he is lucky, Zhao Hou can also give a small yi, keep Zheng Guosheji, and let the monarch enjoy his old age in peace. If he stubbornly resists, Hugh said that the siege equipment of the Zhao army is terrible, and it will break through the city at any time, and say that Liumu, they dared to kill the ruling Han clan back then, and today they can kill the king and sacrifice the city for their own wealth! ”

Zheng Bosheng sat in the flower garden and sighed: "From Zheng Xuangong to the present, is the nearly 400-year-old national honor about to end?" So far, I only hate that there are no loyal ministers like Candle Warrior around me! ”

Lie Yukou laughed out loud: "The situation has changed, it was the top four of Qin, Jin, Chu and Qi back then, and Zheng Guo was able to let Candle Zhiwu retreat from the Qin Division, curry favor with all sides, and continue the national Zuo." But now the situation has changed, Zhao is dominant, Chu is in turmoil, and the current situation, even if you have a hundred candles by your side, it will not help! ”

He suddenly became serious and muttered: "In this world, there is a thing called the Mandate of Heaven, which seems to be unprovoked and impermanent, but it is closely related to everyone's dispatch, and the longevity, poverty, nobility, wealth and poverty in the world are determined by it. Your Majesty, your fate has long been predestined, this is the way of "Life". In this case, useless resistance is useless, it is better to live in peace, so that you can reach the state of unintentionality......"

……

Perhaps it was the persuasion of Lie Yukou, as ten years ago, Zheng Bosheng led the sheep in late August and surrendered. The Zhao army took Xinzheng without a fight, and the army entered the city, and at the same time let the six Mu each settle down and assist the Zhao army in controlling the cities of Zheng, and the land of Zheng was divided into two, the east was divided into Daliang County, and the west became Yingchuan County.

As for Uncle Zheng, he was held by Zhao Jun and brought back to the Zhaohou Palace in Wen County to meet Zhao Wuxian......

"Does the uncle want to kill my society?" As soon as he saw Zhao Wuxian, Zheng Bosheng cried and hugged his thigh, "I'm not guilty, why did you kill me" and the like, what he cares about now is whether Zhao Hou wants to completely wipe out Zheng Guo.

"How so?"

Zhao Wuxian's face was full of innocence, and he asked Uncle Zheng to get up and give him a seat, and then said: "Uncle Zheng, think about it, since the founding of the country, in addition to the Rongdi Barbarian Dynasty, Zhongshan, and Ju, whose society has been destroyed?" ”

This is indeed true, Zhao replaced the Jin State, the Marquis of Jin was moved to his hometown Quwo, the Zhao State broke Qi, the surname Jiang did not perish, Zichuan, Jiaoxi The two small countries continued, and the descendants of the Marquis of Qi were the kings, although their power was in the hands of the country, and the title of Gao Erqing was also reduced to Bo. Later, Zhao Wuxian annexed Wei, Lu, and Sanyi, moved the Marquis of Wei to Chuqiu, moved the Marquis of Lu to Kanyi to guard the tomb of the Duke of Lu, and even Sanyi also had a small township to worship, and these monarchs who had no actual territory had to see him on Zhao Wuxian's birthday, and they did not dare to call Hou and Bo, but only dared to claim to be the feudal monarch of Zhao......

But in this way, Zhao Wuxian did not have a ruthless intention to destroy the people, but left a trace of incense.

Zheng Bosheng was relieved, it seemed that although Zhao Wuxian wanted to annex Zheng Guo, he should save his life, and he suddenly asked with concern: "Where does the uncle want to move me?" ”

Zhao Wuxian took a sip of tea and said as a matter of course: "Naturally, it's Zheng." ”

Zheng Bosheng was surprised and delighted, Zhao Wuxian had a big conscience, and wanted to let him continue to stay in Xinzheng as the king? Even if it is a lonely city, it is better than any small city, he cried with joy, and hurriedly bowed down to thank him.

Zhao Wuxian smiled and asked him not to be polite, and then said, "It's not Xinzheng." ”

Zheng Bosheng's face was stunned: "It's not Xinzheng, where is that?" ”

"What do you say?"

Zheng Bo's face suddenly turned pale, and he had two possible answers in his heart, and asked, "Nan Zheng Yan?" Xi Zheng Yan? ”

Zhao Wuxian didn't say anything, but said mysteriously: "When the time comes, Uncle Zheng will naturally know, rest assured, as the saying goes, the fallen leaves return to the roots, no matter what, the widow will let Uncle Zheng return to his ancestral land!" ”
