There are no heroes in the world, and men are most afraid of homesickness.

The impassioned good men on the battlefield are not afraid of the sea of sword light and blood, but the love of children. What is Xiyu? The location is still in the north of Nanzheng, which was not originally the land of Shu, and there is a biting cold wind from the bitter Qin in the northwest, but there is no warm and moist spring-like climate in Shu; The defenders of Shu rotated like a marquee here, all of them were sad when they came, and everyone was happy when they left, no one would ever regard this place as the land of Shu, and being sent here in rotation was no different from exile.

In the past three days, the two armies have killed a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and when they saw countless robes turned into ghosts in other places, their hearts were inevitably sour, no matter how good Shu wine was, they also borrowed wine to drown their sorrows, and suddenly heard the country sound, but the Qin people also made a new poem that shook the soul and resonated and read it aloud. Even the toughest veteran couldn't help but cry like a little girl abandoned by her lover.

The crying shook the sky in the west of Shu City suddenly became as bright as day, the soldiers of the Shu army looked up with red eyes, only to see countless lights floating in the air, flashing and flashing, as if the heavens saw the sorrow of the Shu people, deliberately descended this beautiful scenery to comfort the general, the scenery in front of them made many young Shu soldiers think of the past of watching the stars when they had a tryst with their lover at night. Shu Mei has always been the most affectionate and romantic, and they always love to pull their lovers to see the stars

The cry gradually deepened, and the soldiers of the Shu army began to admire in amazement at these lights floating in the air; It is also wonderful to say, once these lights flying in the air reach the sky above Shucheng, the lights gradually dim. It began to sink slowly, and thousands of bright and dim lights fell from the sky, as if all the legendary meteors from outside the sky had gathered in this city.

"It turned out to be a bamboo lamp. Dragged the tail of the light below? Hey, this is not an ordinary lamptail, it is paper, and there are words written on it. ”

The Shu people were actually different from the Chinese nation at the earliest, but although the people had their own slang, they did not invent writing, and they still used the Chinese language; Although there are many vulgar people in the army. But there were also the records of the army and the account offices in the caravan, and these people picked up the words on the lamp ends, and they all read it with fascination. It's just that some people will be a little nervous to throw the paper away after reading it, some will hide it quietly, and some will simply swallow it in a ball, with a firm expression that won't say anything about death.

"General. Qin Jun came up with this strange flying lantern, I am afraid that it is to mess with the hearts of our army. Shogun, please look! ”

Shi Zhong's personal booklet took the paper book sent by the pro-army, the more he looked at it, the more serious his face became, and slowly handed it to Shi Zhong, he was also Shi Zhong's strategist, and he had seen all kinds of methods to disrupt people's morale on the battlefield, but this time it was an eye-opener, and he intuitively felt that the Qin army's overwhelming text propaganda would crush the soldiers in the city sooner or later.

Shi Zhong took it and watched it carefully, first with a solemn face. gradually fell into deep thought, and suddenly looked at this Wen Bo: "Mr. Du." I also heard that the Bai Zi of the Qin State was a great figure, and the business bases established by the Bai Family Trading Company were all over the world, but anyone who had a relationship with this Bai Zi was not unaffected, and even the General Department of Huaxia Silver Industry could not help but be affected by it. This white son said that if the people of the world are safe, they will get food and wealth, and they will have nothing to do to raise an army, and they will waste their national strength in vain, which is not the service of all the people, but the sorrow of the boudoir. Especially the last two new poems 'Poor Weishui Riverside bones, still like people in deep dreams', hey, our army and the Qin army fought for three days and nights, I don't know how many good men of Shu have become the riverside bones and become the people in the dream? Mr. Du is a Confucian, and he has also traveled the world to study, and he is a person who has seen big scenes. Is this inexplicable war really necessary for Shu? ”

Du Wenshu was speechless for a long time, and said for a while: "If you abandon the country's view, Xi can only agree with this white man." There are hundreds of schools of thought in China, and there are Sichuan schools in Shu, which one doesn't want to prescribe a good prescription for governing the world and reassuring the people? But whether it is Confucianism or Mohistism, no matter how beautiful it is, it can't get around the words "money" and "grain", what is governing the world and the people? Let the world be rich and all the people be happy! The white son of the Qin State has a big means, creating a Quyuan pear, setting up a silver standard, uniting the laws of various countries, and serving Xirong outside this pile piece by piece, which is really a practical means to govern the world and the people, if the Chinese Shu State can put the economy first, and communicate with each other to have permanent benefits and friendship, why do you need to raise a sword? ”

"Mr. said it well," Shi Zhong sighed and looked at Du Xi for a long time.

"Well, what? You and I are Shuchen after all, can we still betray the king? What's more, Shu borders Qin, that is, there is no king to anger Zhou Tianzi, I am afraid that the Qin State will also plot against my land, you are just dead or alive, no matter how good that Bai Zi is, he is also the enemy of my Shu people! ”

Among the two countries of Bashu, Ba is pro-Chinese, but Shu is different from China for many years, but it is not as good as Shandong countries or even Chu Yue, although Du Xi is clever, but not yet beyond the level of being able to ignore the country and nation, there is no suspense about how to choose.

Shi Zhong nodded slightly when he heard this: "Mr. Du finally didn't disappoint me, otherwise the sword in Zhong's hand would have cut off your head." Please Mr. immediately draft a military order to notify the whole army, but those who pick up the Qin people's paper books must be handed over immediately, and those who have read the text must not disseminate the content of it, and those who violate the order will be beheaded! ”

***

In fact, even if Shi Zhong did not give this military order, the soldiers of Shu State were afraid that they would not have much time to discuss the content of the Qin people's paper book, this night full of blood and fire, wine and meat, and finally a romantic scene full of flying lights passed quickly, when the sun had not fully appeared on the horizon, the bow and crossbow of the Qin army pressed on the city like a dark cloud in the sky, accompanied by the thunderous marching drums, a full thirty Qin army hundred people appeared under the Shu army city, and the soldiers who charged at the front had already taken off their heavy armor, Wearing only a light cloth armor, he climbed along the ladder to the top of the city, like a group of wolves who are not afraid of death for victory!

The Qin army's attack was extremely fierce, and two hundred-man teams were lost in just half a day, and the casualties of the Shu army were not even under the Qin army besieging the city, but it was quickly stopped, and it was not an overnight battle like the previous one, but it showed the most cruel side of the war in front of the Shu army in the shortest time.

After the truce, Shi Zhong did not reward the army, but went into the wounded barracks to comfort the wounded soldiers one by one, when talking to the wounded soldiers, his voice was always very low, carefully looking at each wounded soldier, these soldiers still respectfully called him a general, and even if the injuries were not very serious, he still desperately stood up and saluted him, but he saw a certain change and difference in these soldiers. Sun Bin and Bai Dong are so powerful, even if he can be suppressed with military orders in time, some of those paper books last night were still privately hidden, and the content recorded in the paper books was still secretly spread among the soldiers Shi Zhong suddenly felt powerless, because he knew very well that some emotions could not be suppressed by military law and killing, such as the desire for peace, the nostalgia for his family, and the longing for his hometown

"The king may have been wrong from the beginning, if the Xiyu garrison did not rotate often but sent a large army to stay there for many years, and when those soldiers stationed there recognized this land and regarded it as their hometown, I am afraid that it would be difficult for the Qin people to disturb our army's heart even if they had a thousand means? But with the king's suspicious character, is he willing to hand over such an important Xiyu to a general for a long time? Shi Zhong shook his head, maybe he shouldn't think about it too much? As a Shu man and a Shu minister, he is loyal to the country and his family

Walking out of the wounded barracks, the pro-army had already brought him hot broth and pastries, Shi Zhong nodded and took it in his hand, no matter what happens tomorrow, the meal will always be eaten. But before he drank a mouthful of broth, he heard a dense gong sound from the city, and when he looked up, he saw a blank shadow on it, and countless flying lights flew to the head of the Shu army again!

This lamp has been dismantled by Shi Zhong yesterday to see, I heard the craftsmen in the army say, the Qin people are using the principle of hot vapor to make this lamp can fly in the air, the idea is really ingenious, and the Qin people seem to have calculated the wind direction and distance, every time these flying lamps come to the top of Shu City, just run out of fuel and fall down, used to convey the kind of confusing military heart of the paper book is the most convenient, simply incomprehensible.

Looking at the archers in the city who were desperately shooting these flying lanterns, Shi Zhong sighed, feeling a little helpless in his heart, is this still the end? (To be continued......)
