"Uh-huh!" The Duke of the Western Zhou Dynasty rode on a war horse, his eyes were shining, looking at the marching army, he couldn't help but be proud, shaking his head, happy and boundless, and even humming a slang.

Hum to the place of joy, his eyes narrowed one by one, and he was a happy fairy.

The fiefdom of the Western Zhou Dynasty was only thirty or fifty miles, and if it was in the Qin State, he would only be a village head, and he would not have the opportunity to command an army of tens of thousands of people at all. Now, not only did he lead an army of 90,000 to fight Qin, but he also had to be respected by King Zhou and admonished him. It can be expected that from now on, he will be the minister of Zhou Tianzi, and the task of reviving the Zhou family will fall on him, even compared to the Duke of Zhou, who was "the prince of the Chengcheng Princes", and even exceeded.

You must know that when the Duke of Zhou "became the prince of the king", the Zhou family was in a strong state, and the situation it faced was much better than it is now. If the Duke of the Western Zhou Dynasty can really restore the Zhou room, then his credit will not be worse than that of the Zhou Dynasty, or even more than that. Duke of Zhou became a "sage" because he assisted King Cheng of Zhou, and was highly praised by Confucianism. If the Duke of Western Zhou surpasses the Duke of Zhou, then his reputation will be even higher than that of the Duke of Zhou.

Not to mention, if he goes further, he replaces King Zhou and becomes the Son of Heaven, he is the master of Zhongxing in the Zhou Dynasty, and his achievements are higher than those of King Zhou Xuan of the Zhongxing Zhou Dynasty, and can even be compared to the founding monarchs of Zhou Wenwu and King Wu of Zhou.

Thinking of the wonderful future, the pores of Xi Zhougong were exuding joy, and the whole person was about to float, and he was fluttering.

"This trip of the Duke of the Western Zhou Dynasty will definitely be able to make great achievements and restore the Zhou room. Achievements are unworldly. "The little princes with exquisite minds are busy making fun. Full of flattery.

This is said to the heart of the Western Zhou Dynasty. Raising his eyebrows, he was very proud, and said, "Hehe! Ha ha! At first, he laughed a few times reservedly, and then he couldn't suppress his joy anymore, and laughed out loud, very happy.

In this way, these 90,000 "royal teachers" rushed towards Hangu Pass under the leadership of the Duke of Western Zhou. With the anxious mood of the Duke of the West Zhou. I can't wait to rush to Hangu Pass immediately, defeat the Qin army, and establish miraculous feats.

However, this patchwork army did not undergo rigorous training, and the speed of the march was a big problem, and it was impossible to go fast, so it had to crawl slowly towards Hangu Pass like a snail.

After only three days of marching, I got the news, and I saw a scout Pegasus to report: "Duke of Zhou in the West, find the Qin army." ”

"Oh!" As soon as the Duke of the Western Zhou heard this. I couldn't help but feel refreshed and excited. Busy said: "Really? ”

"It's true!" The scout was busy with a word of certainty.

"Great, it's good now, I don't have to go to Hangu Pass." Thinking about the arrival of the Western Zhou Gong, the Qin army is definitely not his opponent, he will definitely be able to defeat the Qin army, and he will definitely be able to establish great achievements, and when he heard the news of the arrival of the Qin army, he was not only not afraid, but he was very happy.

"As long as we defeat the Qin army, we will be able to capture Hangu Pass, and the land in the middle of the pass will be the Great Zhou. Well, the land of Guanzhong was originally of the Great Zhou, but King Ping didn't know the nature of the tiger and wolf of the Qin State back then, so he gave Guanzhong to the Qin tribe, causing this strange disaster. "The Duke of Western Zhou thought very wonderfully, thinking that he would definitely be able to attack Guanzhong and destroy the Qin State.

The land of Qin is the hometown of the Zhou family. After King Zhou You's Beacon Fire Drama Princes, Xirong attacked Haojing, attacked Haojing and killed King Zhou You, and occupied Haojing and did not leave. In order to recover the capital, King Zhou Ping asked for help everywhere, and the great princes of Jin and Qi did not bird him, and King Zhou Ping was desperate and had to trek through mountains and rivers to see Qin Xianggong in the Longxi River Valley. Qin Xianggong immediately raised troops, entered Guanzhong, fought with the Rong people, broke the troops of Xirong, and recaptured Haojing.

King Zhou Ping saw that the palace of Haojing had been burned down by the Rong people, and the entire Haojing was dilapidated, while the palace of Luoyang was intact, and he decided to move east to Luoyang. Before moving eastward, the land of Qifeng, the hometown of the Zhou family, was given to the Qin tribe. The Qin tribe thus entered the land of Guanzhong and became a vassal state, and there was the Qin state. Based on the land of Qifeng, the Qin State developed step by step, and finally seized the entire land of Guanzhong, so that there was the strongest Warring States Qin State today.

"Huh!" The Duke of Western Zhou let out a burst of laughter, his eyes narrowed together with laughter, and after a long time, he asked, "How many Qin troops are there?" ”

"Fifty thousand." Qin Jun didn't pay attention to the small Zhou Room at all, this time he entered with great fanfare, without any disguise, so that the scouts could hear it clearly.

"It's a joke that only 50,000 dare to rebel against the king!" When the Duke of Western Zhou heard this, the corners of his mouth cracked, and he was extremely disdainful.

In his mouth, it was as if the 50,000 Qin army was nothing more than ants.

"I have an army of 100,000, and I can't defeat a mere 50,000 Qin army?" The Western Zhou Gong was extremely confident, raised his eyebrows, waved at a cronie, and said: "You, go and give the Qin army a war letter, and the day after tomorrow we will set up a battle to the death." ”

"No!" This cronie took the order and left.

"Huh." The Duke of Western Zhou looked at the back of his cronies galloping away, extremely happy, and let out a burst of laughter, as if he had defeated the Qin army.

XXXXXXX

Let's say that Qin Yiren and Sima Terrier led 50,000 Qin troops to the east at the fastest speed, and soon left Hangu Pass and went straight to Luoyang.

Qin Yiren is the grandson of the king, and he doesn't need to come in person to destroy Zhou this time, the reason why he decided to come in person is because although the Zhou room is small, it has a great influence. From a military point of view, there is no difficulty in destroying Zhou this time, and it will not be possible to destroy the Zhou chamber.

However, after all, the Zhou family is the Son of Heaven and the co-ruler of the world, occupying a place in the name and righteousness, and its influence at the political level is quite large, and Qin Yiren had to come in person.

Moreover, the Zhou Chamber is located on the important land that Qin must pass through to advance eastward, and after the Zhou Chamber is destroyed, it still needs to be governed. Only when it is well governed can it be of great benefit to Qin's eastward advance and sweep away the nations. Otherwise, everything is in vain.

In the middle of the line, Meng Zhao came to report and said, "Your grandson, the Duke of Western Zhou sent someone to write a war letter." ”

"The next battle book?" A sound of surprise sounded, and Qin Yiren, Sima Terrier, Huang Shigong, and Wei Yu all opened their mouths wide, so surprised, as if they had seen the most amazing thing in the world.

The habit of writing war books was a matter before the Spring and Autumn Period. Before the Spring and Autumn Period, the warring parties drove their armies to the battlefield and then issued a war letter and made an appointment for the battle. Swing out again. A big fight.

A lot of the time. Because as soon as the formation is opened, the number of troops and chariots on both sides is known, and the inferior side often takes the initiative to admit defeat. The victorious side only made some modest demands, and the two sides made an alliance, and the war ended.

Not only is the winning side not too aggressive in terms of the armistice, but it also does not kill, as long as the opponent admits defeat. Yes. The wars before the Spring and Autumn Period were not focused on killing, and were called "the teachers of benevolence and righteousness".

During this period, the priority for victory was determined by the superiority of troops and the number of vehicles, and the side with the advantage of troops and the number of vehicles was basically the victorious side.

Of course, there are exceptions. The most famous is the "Battle of Makino", when the elite of the King of the Tsu was mainly used in the southeast, attacking Dongyi, and operating the area around the south of the Yangtze River. King Wu of Zhou saw the opportunity and took advantage of a loophole. Raise an army. The capital of the Emperor is empty, and there is no elite guard. In desperation, the king armed the slaves and fought with King Wu of Zhou in Muye.

Although the king was nailed to the pillar of shame and was a famous tyrant in ancient China, in fact, it was the slander of the Zhou family against him, and the real king was very effective, at least in terms of expanding the territory much better than King Wen of Zhou and King Wu of Zhou. King Su was the first emperor in ancient China to lead an army to the coast of the East China Sea, and his life was mainly in the southeast, which is now Jiangsu, Shandong, and Shanghai.

With the success of his expansion, he captured a large number of captives, most of whom became slaves. It is very likely that a large part of the slaves armed by the Emperor of Makino in the Battle of Makino were prisoners of war. Needless to say, these prisoners of war must hate the king of Zhou, and King Wu of Zhou promised benefits, so it is reasonable for these slaves to defect.

In the first battle of Makino, Jiang Ziya led 3,000 "Tiger Ben" to take the lead, and became famous in the first battle, and the "Tiger Ben Division" has been famous for eternity.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, although the two sides still had a war agreement, they were still writing a war book. However, conspiracy has been used a lot, and the most famous quote is "Soldiers, Tricksters" in "Sun Tzu", which is a good illustration of the change in the mode of war.

In the wars of the Spring and Autumn Period, intrigues and tricks have prevailed, and some people have not kept up with the pace of the times, and are still using the methods before the Spring and Autumn Period to fight, the most famous is Song Xianggong.

Song Xianggong fought with the state of Chu, and he ordered the Song army to set up a position, and after the state of Chu crossed the river, he fought to the death. His Sima immediately reminded him that he should take advantage of the opportunity for the Chu army to cross the river and attack it halfway. Song Xianggong didn't accept it, and scolded Sima.

It was not until the Chu army crossed the river and began to line up that Sima once again reminded Song Xianggong that he should take advantage of the opportunity when the Chu army was not firmly established to attack decisively. This time, Song Xianggong was furious, spit out the saliva on Sima's face, and scolded Sima for being ashamed, saying that he was a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, how could he do such an unrighteous thing?

In the end, the result of this battle was self-evident, Song Xiang was defeated, he was seriously injured, and not long after, he died.

Song Xianggong is a typical example of the mud old and conservative, and has not kept up with the pace of the times. In the wars of the Spring and Autumn Period, intrigues and tricks prevailed, and he was still fighting in the ways and methods before the Spring and Autumn Period, and he would not succeed if he was not defeated.

And the fact that the Duke of the Western Zhou Dynasty ordered someone to come to the war book was even more terrible than Song Xianggong's ancient and conservative behavior. Because this is already the Warring States era, the war is no longer "winning without killing", but large-scale killing, killing rivers of blood and corpses.

As for the war book, who is using such a bullshit thing as making an appointment with the war period? The seven warring states have always been warring, and there has always been no talk of a war book, how to damage and how to come, and how to kill and fight.

"Ugh!" Qin Yiren's feeling was as dreamy as seeing an old sow on a tree, which was very unreal.

"Call him." Qin Yiren thought about it and was a little curious, the matter of the war book before the Spring and Autumn Period was already history, and the Duke of the Western Zhou Dynasty was still using it, the opportunity was rare, and he should see it.

Meng Zhao took the order and left, and it didn't take long for him to arrive with the cronies of the Duke of Western Zhou.

This cronie held his head high, puffed out his chest, and was invincible, what kind of master there is, what kind of slave there is. The Duke of the Western Zhou Dynasty was arrogant, and his cronies were also so virtuous.

"Qin Yiren, listen: the king of the Great Zhou Dynasty is in the court, you can quickly tie your hands, but you can spare your death!" The cronies raised their throats, raised their toes, and roared loudly.

"Ugh!" Huang Shigong, Wei Yu, and Sima Terrier made a grinding sound from their mouths, and looked at their cronies as if they were looking at monsters.

"Fearless to the ignorant! O fearless to the ignorant! Qin Yiren was lying on the horse's back, and his forehead hit the horse's back hard. (To be continued......)
