Chapter 360 [Pang Juan Wushuang]
A lot happened in the autumn of 359 BC. Because Tian Wu, who had not been reminded three times by the Qin Yue people and boldly took the immortal medicine, died three years earlier than the historical record, Tian Yinqi, the son of Qi, was supported by the Qin State, the Chu State, and the Zhao State, and was also protected by the Fan Family Trading Company and the Xu Family Trading Company, and was undisputed as the king; When discussing the Tianwu temple number, the future King Qi Wei revealed his grandeur, ignoring Jiang Xiaobai, who had been dead for three hundred years, and strongly advocated that his father's temple name should also be set as 'Huan Gong'. Originally, it was decided that there would be no two monarchs using the same temple number in a country, but now the Qi country is the Qi country after the Tian family replaced Qi, where will it matter what evasion is not evasive?
The country of Qi has changed, but the happiest person is Yingquliang, the uncle of the country. 'Uncle Guo' will squeeze his eyebrows at Bai Dong when he mentions this matter now, he knows very well in his heart, Ying Shu has this child, Bai Dong will never let go of it, people will not be killed for themselves, not to mention that Tian Yue should have been called Bai Yue in the first place? With Bai Dong taking care of him, won't the Qi Kingdom fall into the hands of his nephew in the future? Qin and Qi were originally very friendly, and in the future, they will be the country of uncles and nephews.
Also in the autumn of this year, two golden eagles who flew across the sea with difficulty brought back the news of Zi and the old man and Gongzi Shun, it is said that under the guidance of the guide turtle, they have successfully arrived at the fairy island depicted by the ancestors of the Zi family, here is not only the black wind and earth fire, but also the green beautiful forest and all kinds of animals, not when the earth fire erupts and the earth dragon turns over, it is also quiet and beautiful.
The son and the old man really didn't find the immortal, but he still stubbornly thought that as long as he stayed in this kind of place full of the innate qi of the desolation, he would be able to touch the ladder to the immortal sooner or later; Maqiao also thinks so. However, he couldn't bear to be like a student and an old man to participate in the enlightenment of the Tao. At most, sing love songs to deceive yourself. It was not long before I set foot on this large island. Together with Gongzi Shun, the leader of the tomb robbers and water bandits, he began to hunt the 'wild man'.
At present, the Japanese savages only scream 'wow wow', have no writing, no music, and no social organization, and only live in caves as a family. Their average life expectancy will not exceed fifteen years, and those who are twelve or thirteen are already considered 'old people'.
I don't have any likes or dislikes for this group of bare-bottomed monkey boys Shun and Ma Qiao, but since Bai Zi has explained that he wants to capture these wild people back as slaves, it must be reasonable, but these guys eat raw meat. All of them are covered with half-foot-long black hair, and men don't have to be white-faced for hard labor, and women can't see it, all of them are female monkeys, and someone will pay for such a wild man? Gongzi Shun is not very optimistic, but since Bai Zi has explained, then he will do it, he and Ma Qiao have now found a kind of pleasure of bullying low civilization with high civilization, which will be addictive.
Bai Dong basically didn't pay much attention to Ma Qiao and Gongzishun's 'hunting activities', because the results were obvious. Five hundred elite soldiers, armed to the teeth, will not have any suspense in the battle against the last group of cavemen.
There is no need for a sense of morality and guilt, since the beginning of human history. That's something that only successful people are qualified to play with; What is most lacking in China? Not gentle and frugal, but aggressive enough! Treating yourself as a sheep will only attract countless evil wolves to carve up China.
The Japanese monkeys can solve the problem of lack of manpower in Lao Qin at the material level, and can make Bai Dong drive them to carry out the 'energy reform' that has long been filed without guilt, but their real important role is to cultivate the 'wolf nature' of the Chinese people. What is the Great Voyage? The essence of the Great Voyage is aggression, plunder, and the process of a higher civilization ~ a lower civilization! Since sooner or later there will be an 'empire on which the sun never sets' in this world, it might as well be Huaxia and Great Qin!
The big boy in the small mountain village in the past has become mature, and the big boy who only knows how to tell her stories with his sister in his arms, and has only a small family and a Bai clan in Yishi Village in his eyes, has successfully transformed into a world-famous white boy; Even if a pig has such a big change in circumstances, its gaze should extend from the pigsty, over the small river ditch and small mountain beam in front of it, and then look at the big world in front of it, let alone Bai Dong?
Bai Dong's gaze has crossed the islands of Japan, the Pacific Ocean and the future West Coast of the United States, a world that is both familiar and strange, he has studied in geography class in his previous life, but it is up to him to discover the new continent in this life. The colonists of this life will no longer be the Spanish, Portuguese and British, and the Chinese who passed by the Age of Discovery in the previous life should be the protagonist of this life!
However, when Bai Dong was looking eastward, there was also a person standing under the city of Handan, looking at this city that would almost be destroyed by the war and sneering; When the warriors of Wei and Zhao fought to the death at the head of the city, he looked further east to Lu, Qi, Chu to the south, and finally to Qin.
This person is Pang Juan, the unparalleled Pang Juan in the world.
Bai Dong still ignored the terrible consequences of the butterfly effect. The historical siege of Wei to save Zhao and the battle of Guiling was at least five or six years later than now, that is because before 355 BC, Wei's hegemony was unshakable, no country dared to provoke Wei, and Wei did not fall into an economic crisis because of Bai Dong's various methods. By the time Wei discovered that the Shandong States had begun to become powerful and war was inevitable, Handan had become the world's first fortified city that could be stationed for more than two years casually, and the State of Qi was also under the beautiful hand of a series of reform legislation such as Tian Yinqi's 'Heavy Virtuous Ministers, Far Villains, Rewarding Mozhao, and Cooking Corruption', and at this time Sun Bin also came to the State of Qi
In order to buy time for Lao Qin's development, Bai Dong provoked the Central Plains War prematurely, and saving the army division Sun Bin was far more influential than saving a 'big soldier' casually. Now Gongzi Ang and Hui Shi can't balance Pang Juan, because Wei Ying's eyes are redder and crazier than Pang Juan! At present, Handan City is far from being as strong as five or six years later, Qi is still only a second-rate country, Sun Bin is not called Sun Bin, and now he is happily taking his disciple Sylde to claim the king and hegemony in the Western Regions grassland. The name of 'Xijun' Bai Dong has been mentioned many times between Yingquliang and his wife. It's just that Bai Dong is still in the dark.
At this time, Pang Juan is no matter of energy and wisdom. is still at the peak of experience, and the Wei State has 100,000 more Wei soldiers than the same period in history! Without Sun Bin's assistance, Tian Ji's head couldn't think of a way to encircle Wei and save Zhao, and the current Qi State had no ability to attack Daliang at all, even if Pang Juan and Long Jia took away 200,000 Wei soldiers, the Wei army that stayed in Daliang could easily defeat any enemy army that dared to invade Daliang.
Another gust of autumn wind rose, and the Zhao army stationed at the head of the city couldn't help but shrink his neck, and began to sort out the already messy battle armor and sharpen the scarred sword Ge under the call of the general.
Once again, the sun rises over the horizon. The smoke in the Wei camp began to fade from thick to faint, and finally faded away, and the abominable horn and drum command sounded again, and the soldiers of Zhao State seemed to see the demon-like Wei Wushu approaching Handan City again
Wei Jun is crazy, and Pang Juan is also crazy. Since the day of the beginning of spring, it has been seven months, and the Wei army has maintained a high-intensity siege frequency every day, and there are twelve hours a day, and that madman Pang Juan has been standing on the chariot for eight hours! This endless war is really too cruel, and the soldiers of Zhao State will see new faces around them every day, and they will fill in the new recruits. And it won't be long before they themselves will be replaced by new faces
Handan, known as the fortified city of the world, has 50,000 defenders. Coupled with the troops from the four counties who rushed to the rescue, there were as many as 70,000 people, but in the half-year battle to defend the city, the Zhao army was less than 40,000 left! But the Wei army is like never dying, every morning, as long as it does not rain heavily, the well-equipped Wei soldiers will pounce on Handan City like locusts, every day the city is trembling, every day the defenders will think that this is the last battle
As hundreds of huge stone cannons bombarded the city walls, the sky suddenly brightened, and tens of thousands of rockets covered Handan City like a huge fire cloud.
Top Shield!
As soon as the newly appointed general shouted, a rocket was shot through the throat, but the defenders, as if they had not seen the tragedy, quickly bowed down and put their shields on their heads, like humanoid mountain turtles.
The one hundred and ninety-third siege battle began
***
It rained as the sun set and the siege ended half an hour earlier than usual. After the Wei army retreated, intermittent cries began to be heard in Handan City, and the voices became louder and louder, more and more, including newcomers who had just joined the army, and veterans who had experienced a hundred battles. Weep not for fear of death, but for the sake of the dead robes; Yan Zhao's generous and tragic warriors are not afraid of death, but when faced with this seemingly never-ending war, every soldier feels that he will sink into the darkness forever and never see the light again, and the spiritual breakdown is the most terrible.
Fowl Slip walked down from the top of the city, which was littered with corpses, and suddenly felt tired. Originally, with his martial arts, even after half a year of offensive and defensive battles, he would not be so tired, which was a kind of mental fatigue; Looking at the thousands of corpses above and below the city, and at the children of the Mo family who were seriously injured or lost their lives to guard Handan, Yu Huaxi doubted for the first time the ideals he adhered to
Can the Mohist ideal of 'love and non-attack' really be realized? Since Mozi established Momen, generations of giants and Moshi have thrown their heads and spilled blood for the peace of the world, Wei is strong and Zhao is weak, and the Mo family has come to help Zhao Guo, if Zhao is strong and Wei is weak, they will help Wei State so hoe the strong and help the weak, just hope that the strong will be gifted, the weak will protect themselves, and the people of the world will not have the heart of bullying the weak, then the world will be the same. But why did the Moji struggle for a hundred years, and the war in the world not only did not disappear because of this, but intensified?
With a long sigh, Yu Huaxi turned his head to look at Zhao Chenghou, who was walking towards him under the protection of a group of guards.
In the past six months, Zhao Chongbiao has been remarkable, almost every day he will go to the city to command the army to fight, as the king of a country, he actually has more than 30 scars on his body, and he has changed five pairs of armor alone. In the past six months, he has gained his friendship and he has received enough respect from Bird Slippery.
"Zhao Gong"
Yu Huaxi nodded slightly, pointed to the tired Zhao Jun in the city and said: "If there are no reinforcements coming, Handan is afraid that it will not be able to keep the winter." ”
"The giant has worked hard, and Zhao Guo will always owe the Mo family a favor." Zhao Chong shook his head tiredly: "Reinforcements will not come, Yan Guo, Zhongshan State and Zhao Guoxiang have hatred, and they will definitely not come to help, Lu Song is cowardly, Chu State is too far away, Qi State"
"Tian Yinqi vigorously rectified the rule of officials and developed the economy after becoming the king, it is obvious that he is a promising monarch who intends to dominate the world, and he will watch the fall of the Zhao State? Didn't Zhao Gong say that Qi Guoken sent troops? ”
"The State of Qi sent troops, but the 40,000 troops led by Tian Ji had just crossed the Yellow River and were attacked by the Wei Wei coalition army in Julu, and the Qi army was defeated."
Zhao Chong sighed, and looked at Yu Huaxi with red eyes: "After this battle, Tian Yinqi will not send reinforcements anymore." The State of Zhao is isolated and helpless, and can only fight to the death! The Mo family has done its best to the Zhao State, but it should not be cut off here, and the widow is here to persuade the giant and the children of the Mo family to leave Handan. ”
"Thank you, Zhao Hou. However, the Mo people assisted in defending Handan not for the Zhao State, but for the Mo family's ideal of 'love and non-attack'. Today it is Wei Guoqiang, and the Mo family will come to help Zhao Guo; If Zhao Guoqiang one day, the Mo family will also help Wei Guo, so Zhao Hou does not owe anything to the Mo family. What's more, if the war doesn't stop for a day, there is still a turning point, Yan State, Qi State and Chu State can't come to help, has Zhao Hou forgotten that there is also Qin State, the overlord of the Western Regions, and the famous Bai Zi? ”
"Ask for help from the State of Qin? How is it possible that although the Qin people had a gap with the Wei state, they signed a non-aggression pact after the First World War in Hexi; And even if the Qin State pours out the strength of the whole country, it only has 100,000 elite soldiers who can fight, this is Yingquliang's last capital, how can he be willing to work hard for the Zhao State? Moreover, the Wei State attacked Zhao, and it was still the big move of the white son to lead the tiger eastward, and it was too late for the Qin State to recuperate at this time, so how could it destroy the established plan? ”
"Hehe, the Qin State wants to be strong, so it is necessary to use the disaster to buy time; But I believe that Yingqu Liang and that Bai Zi would not want to see the Wei State really destroy the Zhao State? Zhao Hou, please relax, I have my own way to let Yingquliang send troops; You only need to repair a letter and send it to the Bai family trading company in the name of the Mo family, and ask them to transfer it to the Qin State on their behalf."
"If the giant repairs a book, he can ask Yingquliang to send reinforcements?"
Zhao Chong couldn't believe his ears: "I don't know this letter"
"After the letter is written, I will seal it with iron clay, and even Zhao Gong will not know the contents of it. Because there are only two people in the world who can see this letter, one is Yingquliang and the other is the white son of Qin, otherwise this letter will be useless. (To be continued......)
