In 273 B.C., the forty-second year of King Zhou Xun, the capital of Korea, Xinzheng.

Suddenly, like a night of spring breeze, thousands of trees and pear blossoms bloom. Last night's heavy snowfall dressed the whole of Xinzheng into a silver-white world. Although the northwest wind blew cold, it could not stop the enthusiasm of the people for the New Year.

Today is the sixth day of the first lunar month, and the streets and alleys of Xinzheng are very lively. The sound of children's playing, the shouting of vendors, and the sound of fists in the wine shop are all in the ears, mixed together, and converge into a New Year's symphony. The curling smoke, the fragrant dim sum, and the thick festive atmosphere enveloped Xinzheng City.

The joy of the New Year made everyone forget for a while, and now it is the Warring States, an era when countries are fighting and human lives are as cheap as grass.

This year is a year of celebration for the people of South Korea. Because the weather is beautiful, there are no floods or droughts, the harvest in the fields is acceptable, and there are no wars in Korea throughout the year, the people are really happy. Wei Guoke next door was killed. Since last year, Wei has been retaliated against by Qin for betraying Qin and Qin, and the war has continued. The Qin State is the army of tigers and wolves, and the Wei State has long since lost the courage of the past. Therefore, the Wei State was beaten by the Qin State and was called a pitiful, miserable, defeated repeatedly, and was beheaded 50,000 before the Qin State was relieved.

The small people of Shengdou don't understand why countries are constantly at war. In their opinion, the kings and doctors have meat to eat and drink, and what is not satisfied! How good it is for everyone to live in harmony, if you have to fight to the death, in the end it is not a wasteland.

It's a pity that they don't understand the insidiousness of politics, and even a war involving more than a dozen or two hundred thousand people is just a continuation of politics. In life, doctors are not satisfied with just being full of food and drink. They aspire to more power, more land. This qiē needs war to capture.

The Warring States is a game of chess, everyone is a chess piece, if you are not willing to be a chess piece, you have to fight up. Fight, maybe win, maybe head different; If you don't fight, you will always be at the mercy of others.

Since the first year of King Zhou Lie (375 BC), Korea destroyed Zheng, and Xinzheng has become the new capital of Korea for more than 100 years. After more than 100 years of construction, Xinzheng has become the most majestic city in South Korea. Looking at the entire Central Plains, only the Great Liang of Wei can be compared.

One of the benefits of living in a nation's capital is security. Unless the country is in danger of perishing, there will be no swords. This is why Xinzheng City is home to more than 200,000 people.

At the north gate of Xinzheng, an old man about fifty years old is holding a pottery bowl and drinking coarse tea, and next to him is a young man who is seventeen or eighteen years old. The young man looked at the old man with admiration on his face, and said, "Old Uncle Su, tell me about your military experience again, please." ”

The corners of the old man's eyes trembled, swallowed the slightly bitter strong tea in his mouth, and muttered in his mouth: "Wei Yazi, don't think that joining the army is fun, it is to carry your head to the battlefield, and you don't have long eyes with swords, guns and halberds, no matter if you are a general or a small soldier, if you shoot down with an arrow, your life will be gone." ”

"But my brother Wei Yun became a subordinate commander by virtue of his military merits, and his subordinates are in charge of No. 50 people! Old Uncle Su, don't you know, Chen Erhu next door has been in the army for two years, and he came back two days ago to show off his power in front of me and said that he was promoted to be a commander, laughing at me I am still a little soldier guarding the city gate, I can't be angry with him. Old Uncle Su, you teach me the skills to kill the enemy, I want to be a general. ”

"You little bunny!" The old man slapped the young man on the head, "You think the general is so good!" If you want to be a general, you don't know how many times you have to drill the sword mountain and the sea of blood, and you will die before you become a general. Old man, I have been in the army for 30 years, how many people are as ambitious as you, but as soon as they go to the battlefield, they pee their pants. The robes around me have changed one stubble after another, and many times I have almost died. What kind of bullshit general, no matter how big an official is, he has to have a life to be it. Old Chinese said to the boy earnestly. The young man muttered, "Maybe I'm lucky to be like Uncle Su and survive to become a general!"

"Yazi!" The old man said with a straight face, "Don't look at those chiefs, the usual majesty of the uncle, they are the first to die on the battlefield." You listen to your uncle's advice, living is more important than anything else. I'm not afraid of your jokes, your uncle and I have been a deserter for the past 30 years and pretended to be dead, but I'm still alive, compared to those who died in a foreign land and have no bones, I'm already very good. That is, our two families are friendly, so I wiped my face and asked you for a job to watch the city gate, although it is hard, but it will not die. ”

"Old Uncle Su, I know you are for my good." The young man looked at the old man with a resolute face, and said, "But I am a child of a poor family, do I have to farm all my life and guard the city gate until I am old?" Although I am young, I also know that wealth and wealth are in danger, and it is better to kill a future than to die at the city gate. Ask Uncle Su to be fulfilled. ”

The old man struggled in his heart for a long time, sighed and said, "Alas! That's it! When the city gate is closed, you go home with me, and I will teach you some rules in the army, so as to save your life in vain. ”

"Thank you, Uncle Su!" The young man said yes excitedly.

60 miles north of Xinzheng, Hwayang, South Korea.

The dense Wei and Zhao armies surrounded Huayang City, standing at the head of the city and looking at it, the red ocean could not be seen at a glance.

The tiny Huayang City is like a flat boat in a storm at sea, and it seems that a red wave can swallow the boat. Countless flags are fluttering in the wind, the most conspicuous ones are undoubtedly the fiery red "Wei" and "Mang" banners, as well as the "Zhao" and "Jia" banners with seven points and three points of blue.

Under the city wall, Mang Mao, the prime minister of Wei, was inspecting the military camp surrounded by several Wei generals in high spirits, and it was Jia Yan, the commander of the Zhao army, who was accompanying him.

Seeing the panicked Koreans on the city wall, Mang Mao was very proud. Although the Wei State has been declining in recent years, and it cannot raise its head after being beaten by the Qin State, it is not something that small South Korea can compete with. This time, he led the 130,000 troops of Wei, plus the 20,000 troops of Zhao, and 150,000 troops were enough to crush South Korea.

Thinking of the grand occasion when he captured Huayang City and besieged Xinzheng a few days later, Mang Mao's face flushed. At the beginning, he offered a plan to the king of Wei to cut three cities to Qin, and then united with Qin to conquer Qi, won a complete victory, and took 22 counties. If Han wins this time, he will definitely be more favored by King Wei. Therefore, for Huayang City, it is imperative to win it. Mang Mao secretly swore in his heart.

For example, the general trend has become clear, and the Qin State should be the first in terms of national strength, and it is most likely to unify the world. Zhao is currently the only country that can barely compete with Qiang Qin, Chu, Qi, Wei, Korea, and Yan have all declined, and they are not half sure of either Zhao or Qin, and they need to form an alliance to protect themselves.

It is a consensus that Qin is not a country that can be defeated. What's even more terrifying is that the Qin State has swept the world, encompassing the universe, encompassing the four seas, and annexing the heart of the Eight Desolations. The six countries were terrified, and they also made an appointment to join forces, and they allied with blood, and they knocked on the gate and attacked Qin with ten times the land and millions of people. The Qin people switched and extended the enemy, and the division of the six countries did not dare to enter.

The only means of self-protection was broken because the six countries had their own ghosts, so the six countries vied with each other to bribe Qin for temporary peace. After capturing the capital of Chu and defeating 400,000 Chu troops, the Qin State turned its attention to the Central Plains again. Therefore, Wei and Korea became a stumbling block in the eyes of Qiang Qin, and they were difficult brothers and sisters for each other.

Just 2 years ago (275 BC), the prime minister of Qin and the marquis Wei Ran led an army to besiege Daliang, the capital of Wei, and South Korea sent troops to rescue without hesitation, and was beheaded 40,000, and the famous general Storm Kite was defeated and walked away from Kaifeng. Although in the end, the Wei State sued for peace, but the righteous actions of South Korea at the time of the Wei State of Danger (more because of the truth of the cold lips and teeth) are well known.

However, this is an era of moral decline, and there are many examples of hiding knives in laughter, watching the fire from the other side, and taking revenge. There is no eternal friendship between countries, and as long as there are enough interests, either side can sell its own qiē.

Wei was also scared by the Qin State, cutting one city today, two counties tomorrow, cutting Wei up to the monarch, down to the Qing doctor's heart, this is his own taxes, money and grain!

Only then did Mang Mao take the opportunity to make a statement to the new monarch of Wei State, saying that South Korea was rich and weak, and that it could be bullied. Against the Qin State, the Wei State knew that it was invincible. But when it comes to dealing with South Korea, Wei is handy. The land lost from the hands of the Qin State should be snatched back from its own kind neighbors! You can also improve the self-confidence of the people and the morale of the army by the way, so why not do it!

This statement coincides with the monarch's thoughts, but the relationship between Han and Wei is good after all, especially when Wei is besieged and only South Korea rescues, and now it is morally untenable to send troops, and King Wei hesitated.

Mang Mao is the best at observing words and feelings, and King Wei is already moved, and now he only lacks an excuse, and the excuse himself has already prepared. So Mang Mao argued: "Although Korea once came to our aid, after the defeat of the army, it made peace with the Qin State and formed an alliance. Look, the king, this year the Qin State attacked us, and they and South Korea stood by and watched. We can unite with Zhao and force Korea to destroy the alliance with Qin, so that the three Jin Dynasty can be reconciled. As for the occupation of Korean land, it is nothing more than to let South Korea remember the lesson, and only by uniting around our Wei State is the right way! At that time, the king's prestige will be far and wide, and he will be counted in one fell swoop! ”

When the king of Wei heard this, he immediately dispelled his worries and agreed to unite with Zhao to attack Korea.

For Zhao and Wei, the only element of this operation was a quick victory. Although Qin and Han had the name of allies, the road from Xianyang to Xinzheng was difficult, and the distance of nearly 1,000 miles was enough to change many things. If it is a qiē shun lì, maybe when the Qin reinforcements are still halfway, Korea has been forced to sign an alliance with Zhao and Wei.

So Zhao and Wei secretly plotted, concealed the world, and broke through the defense line of the South Korean army in one fell swoop when South Korea was negligent in guarding against the New Year.

In one day, Huayang is in danger, and Xinzheng is in danger!
