Chapter 385: The Sunset of the Long River
The prosperity is gone, and the song under the cold wind has faded away from the prosperity of the past. The once famous Lutai and Xingxinglou have long been turned into ashes of history, and among the old farmers who are working outside the city, there may be former Yin Shang nobles. That is, the water of the Yellow River in the south of Chaoge is still flowing eastward, and from time to time, fishermen with boats catch a few big carp of the Yellow River from the river, adding a touch of life to this bleak and cold autumn day.
Standing at the head of Chaoge City, looking at the Yellow River water parting here, all the way to the direction of Julu, straight into the Yan Realm; All the way, he passed through Weijun and Dunqiu, and entered the Qi realm, Pang Cong didn't feel a little lost, he felt that he was like this long river, and he had reached the crossroads of life, but unfortunately he couldn't choose the direction of his life by himself, but in the hands of the white son of Qin.
Today's Chaoge is just the name of a region under the rule of Wei, and the scale is not even a county; Looking at the dilapidated and broken former Xiongcheng, Pang Cong not only felt sad for himself, but also shed tears for Wei State. This is already the north of Daliang, next to the capital of Wei State, a place where soldiers look at it, but it is regarded by Bai Dong as his own back garden, and he can come and stay if he wants? Uncle Pang Juan has already gotten the news of his defeat, right? I wonder what he will think of himself as a general? Wang Zishen must be very regretful now, but regret is useful, when his army arrives here, it will take at least half a month, and the whip is beyond the reach of the whip!
From Wenhou Wuhou to change the law to strengthen the country, when has Wei been bullied like this? Now even the Yiqu people dare to wave their troops south to attack the Wei State, and the old guy is jumping up and down! Bai Dong waved his army vertically and horizontally, killing from the chasm to the song. There was no hindrance. There are no soldiers in the north of Wei! The northern army led by Gongzi Angqin also has to fight against the fungus. It's also powerless!
The Yellow River is also known as the Long River. Zhou Tianzi divided the princes of the world, and all the land, mountains and rivers were divided into sons and nephews and grandchildren, but he did not seal the long river, because this river connected Kunlun and reached the East China Sea, feeding thousands of living beings, and it was really the mother of China! Since the Spring and Autumn Period to the present, the waters of the Changhe River are shared by the world, and the Wei State does not dare to block the river. Even if it is a war with the Qin State and the Zhao State, there are still business travelers and nobles on the long river, but these travelers from all countries will see the black flag of the Qin State fluttering at the head of the city when they pass through the Chaoge, and see that it is actually the soldiers of the Qin State who maintain order at the dock, which makes Pang Congqing, who is a Wei general, embarrassed? If it weren't for the fact that he was a smart man who knew how to advance and retreat, and was kind and forbearing, he would have roared and died with the Qin people now.
Pang Cong is a smart person, so he won't do such a stupid thing, he has to keep his eyes open and watch how Bai Dong sent him and 30,000 soldiers to Lao Qin and the Western Regions. When you come to the river, do you have to rely on water? How many ships do you need? What a pity! Wei Guokong called the power of the country. But he has never cared about the construction of the water division, otherwise how could Bai Dong be satisfied?
The thought is not finished. If a genius boy like Wu Yuan saw this scene, he would definitely try to measure the water surface, the light, and the drop between the sail and the water level to judge the sail height and then infer the size of the hull; If Gongzi Shun is a guy who was born as a bandit, he can decide whether to go up to rob or run away with just a glance at what kind of sail the ship is hanging. Pang Cong didn't know anything about this, and suddenly saw this like a cloud sail shadow, and was immediately dumbfounded, Wei also has a sailor, but most of them patrol in the waters where Chu and Wei intersect, and they can't fly to the long river with their wings, but even if the Wei sailor arrives, it is not enough to see compared with other people's fleets
The whole long river was boiling, and countless merchants and nobles from all over the world were stunned by this huge fleet, which turned out to be forty or fifty large ships, each of which was close to the princes of various countries who were qualified to take the throne! There are two stories high, some are three stories high, the hull has thick copper armor, there are women's walls, it is simply a moving city! Moreover, these ships are not hung with the flags of sailors from various countries, but with the big 'white' characters on the black background and white flames! The flag is painted with the pattern of Qin Yuan's coin, which proves that this is a ship of a trading company, not a warship!
The long river is shared by the whole world, and the Wei State is so strong that it does not dare to lock the river and close the country, otherwise it is itself that suffers the most, but only the merchant ships and the 'honor boats' that communicate with various countries can pass, otherwise all countries along the road can rise up and attack it;
And in addition to the flag of the Bai family trading company, each ship also hung the flag of the Qi State, proving that this fleet was set off from the Qi State and had been certified by the Qi State, with this section, even if it met the rules set by Zhou Tianzi that day, as for what the fleet was here to do, whether it was to trade or pass through the Wei State or even bring tens of thousands of Wei prisoners back, then no one would investigate. Even if the Wei State Sailor wants to be investigated, it depends on whether his fists are hard enough, otherwise it will be his own family that suffers.
"What a big deal"
The mystery that had been lingering in his heart for a long time was finally solved, but Pang Cong was shocked and speechless, and couldn't help but look back at Bai Dong, who was standing not far behind him, being closely protected by dozens of guards, only to feel that this person was simply a devil.
The business of the Bai family trading company is big enough, everyone in the world knows about it, but I have never heard of such a huge fleet, obviously this fleet is this person has long been prepared to see the hull that is getting closer and closer, even the wood color is still new, it can be seen that it was not long after it was launched, did this person already know that he would be defeated, so he built this huge fleet in advance? And also to calculate the time and place, so that this fleet can come to the pilgrimage?
How much calculation, how much money and boldness does this require? Is Qin Guobaizi a god or a devil?
With a long exhalation, Pang Cong's mood suddenly became extremely calm, and the humiliation, unwillingness, chagrin, and resentment of defeat disappeared like ice and snow under the scorching sun, and losing in the hands of such a person doesn't seem to be a shameful thing, right? Even if my uncle comes in person, it seems very difficult to win this person, what am I thinking about, my uncle is the undefeated god of war of the Wei Kingdom, how can this kid be an opponent!
When the enemy is half the way through itself, it is an opponent who needs to compete; When the enemy is one or two points stronger, it is the opponent who needs to catch up; But when the enemy is countless chips stronger than him, making it difficult for him to look back, this is no longer an opponent, but a storage that needs to be looked upon. In the past, only when facing his uncle Pang Juan, Pang Cong would have this feeling, but now he unconsciously has a sense of awe and admiration for Bai Dong, but his hatred has faded because of this, and even a lot of curiosity has arisen
What does this person say about the Western Regions? Is it really like what he said, now is the best opportunity for Huaxia to integrate foreign races? When this major event is no longer divided between Wei and Qin, and the difference between countries is all for the prosperity of China? Maybe he didn't lie to me, I lost the Great War of the Gap, but the Western Regions will make me famous for future generations and become a big man to look up to by future generations? And the Persians further west, he said that it was a powerful empire, in the west of the Persians, there was a more brilliant civilization, the Chinese were fighting for life and death, and the princes were competing for power, but in fact, the vision was too narrow, I don't know how vast the world is, how beautiful and colorful? Is it true that even my uncle has never told me this, should I believe him?
***
"Son, your father said in his letter that he will give our mother and son the most stable and happy life, and we will all be reunited as a family sooner or later. Do you think my mother should believe him as a big villain? ”
On a three-story ship, Ying Shu hid behind the window, opened a crack in the window with her hand, and pointed to the head of Chao Gecheng to speak to the eldest young master of the Bai family, who was babbling; I haven't seen her for more than half a year, Ying Shu has gained a little weight, and when she looks at her son, this arrogant and willful princess of Qin is like all mothers in the world, her face is full of maternal love, her whole body is shining with holy brilliance, and even her voice is very low and low, as if she is afraid of frightening her son.
Yue Baobao is more than a year old, his eyebrows and eyes have begun to grow, his facial features have become clearer, and there is already a faint shadow of Bai Dong, but after all, he is too small, except for the occasional popping out of his mouth with the word 'mother', which makes Ying Shu happy, he has not yet been able to communicate with his mother. However, following his mother's finger to look at Chao Ge, it was clear that a child of this age could not see so far, but he screamed excitedly, as if he had seen the closest person. Maybe this is the natural induction between father and son, Yue Baobao is now more pleasing to the eye the more he looks at Chaoge
"My mother's mother said that if you are looking for a man, you must find a hero, even if the hero is always busy, and he can't even take care of the women around him; Do you think your father was a big hero? Wei is so powerful, he was still defeated by him, and now he has to send the captives of Wei to our old Qin, my mother loves your father more and more, does the baby love it? ”
The more Ying Shu spoke, the happier she became, and she couldn't help but giggle. I couldn't go back to my parents' house during the Mid-Autumn Festival, I was still complaining, I didn't want to receive Bai Dong's letter soon, and there were also thirty-six huge ships newly built by the Yue Guo Shipyard, and this time there was a fleet to escort her back to her parents' home!
Ying Shu was very curious why Bai Dong used to get so many boats, our family has money, but we can't make it blindly? Bai Dong wrote the reason in the letter, there will be many captives in Wei, and they must be taken to Qin, it is best to go to the long river, fast and safe, you go home first and wait, and the husband will come back soon to see you and the baby.
Qin and Wei knew about the battle between Qin and Wei, but he couldn't believe that Bai Dong could win so many days in advance, and he was still receiving prisoners in Chaoge? At this time, the army of the Qin State was still running around in the southern border of the Wei State. But whatever, it's good for the husband to brag occasionally, my mother said that a man is willing to brag to a woman, which means that the man has this woman in his heart.
"It's my man"
Ying Shu's heart suddenly became extremely soft, she gently kissed her son on the forehead, and looked up towards Chaoge Chengtou, only to see the man standing under the afterglow of the sunset, as if his whole body was shining with golden light, smiling at her.
At this moment, the sunset slowly recedes into the long river, which is the most beautiful scene of the day (to be continued......
