Chapter 5 See Li Mu again
"Li Mu?" When Li Chong heard this, a sneer appeared on his face, and he said disapprerovingly: "What did you do when you saw him?" What's the use of his little old and weak soldiers? ”
At this time, Li Mu was still unknown, and his outstanding military talents had not yet been revealed, so Li Chong would not have despised him.
Not to mention, Li Mu only has 20,000 old and weak soldiers in his hands, and he really can't help it.
"What would you think if you knew that Li Mu was an unborn military wizard?" Qin Yiren looked at Li Chong's contemptuous look in his eyes, and was a little speechless.
No matter how outstanding a military genius is, he also needs a stage and military exploits to prove it. If Qin Yiren told Li Chong at this time that Li Mu was a great military genius, he would definitely not believe it.
Qin Yiren didn't mean to explain for him, and said, "Whether it's useful or not, it's always good to see." ”
"Childe, are you really going?" Li Chong had the heart to stop it.
"yes." Qin Yiren nodded heavily, understood his thoughts, and said, "Even if this trip doesn't get anything, it won't be bad, why don't you just take a trip?" ”
Li Chong thinks about it. Qin Yiren is just a journey, it is good to have a harvest, but it doesn't matter if there is no gain.
At that moment, Qin Yiren took Li Si, Han Fei, Meng Zhao, Ma Gai, Fan Tong, Lu Jujian, and the line of guards, left Qin Jiuyuan and went straight to Zhao Jiuyuan.
Zhao Jiuyuan is in the east of Qin Jiuyuan, and the two cities are only more than 100 miles apart. Leaving Qin Jiuyuan, Qin Yiren rushed to the east with a horse, and went straight to the east.
In the middle of the line, I saw a huge figure appear in front of me, like a giant dragon, winding away, I don't know where it finally was.
"The Great Wall!" Qin Yiren suddenly thought of the symbol of the Chinese nation. Great Wall.
"Wow! It's the Great Wall! It's the Great Wall! "Li Si, Han Fei, and Meng Zhao also found out. Big is excited. Keep your eyes open and look at the Great Wall in front of you.
The Great Wall, the symbol of the Chinese nation, is known as the "backbone of the dragon". When the Great Wall is mentioned, people will think of Qin Shi Huang building the Great Wall, thinking that the Great Wall was built by Qin Shi Huang.
This statement is inaccurate and very inaccurate.
To be precise, the Great Wall was not built by Qin Shi Huang. Rather, Qin Shi Huang built and rebuilt the Great Wall.
Since ancient times, the northern border troubles have posed a huge threat to the Central Plains, and the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were no exception. In order to prevent the nomadic people of the northern Xiongnu from going south, the three kingdoms of Qin, Zhao, and Yan thought of a solution, that is, to build the Great Wall.
To this end, the three countries invested a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, and after more than 100 years of operation, they finally built the Great Wall of five or six thousand miles. The Three Kingdoms relied on the Great Wall. Resisting the invasion of the northern nomads, the effect is not bad.
After Qin Shi Huang unified China. It was decided to renovate and reconstruct the Great Wall of the Three Kingdoms to make it more suitable for the needs of the war. To this end, Meng Tian led 300,000 Qin troops to carry out this great project, and after many years, the transformation and reconstruction were finally completed. Some more Great Walls were built to connect the Great Wall of the Three Kingdoms, which is the "Great Wall of Ten Thousand Miles".
Since then, the Great Wall has become a symbol of the Chinese nation and the backbone of the dragon.
Later generations slandered Qin Shi Huang, saying that Qin Shi Huang did not care about the people's power and sent millions of people to build the Great Wall. You can imagine that in the Warring States Period, what a great pressure it was to concentrate millions of people in this area of modern Inner Mongolia?
You must know that in the Warring States Period, this generation belonged to a barren and bitter cold land, the economy was extremely underdeveloped, and grain and grass needed to be transported from the mainland, what kind of pressure was this?
You don't have to pay the people, you have to give them food, right? Millions of people, a day to eat a mountain, over the years, what kind of pressure is this?
Moreover, at that time, the transportation in the north was extremely inconvenient, and it was even more difficult to transport grain. For example, from Qidi, which was very rich at that time, that is, the current Shandong Peninsula to transport grain to the area of Beijing now, it would be good to transport 100 stones of grain to reach one stone. This stone was still pulled out from between the people's teeth.
With such underdeveloped transportation, transporting the rations of a million people can only be a dream.
It is precisely because the economy of the north is extremely underdeveloped, in order to solve the problem of grain and grass for the northern army, Qin Shi Huang ordered the construction of straight roads. The straight road from the Shandong Peninsula to the north of the Qin Dynasty was completed, and the straight road from Guanzhong to the north was not completed until the fall of the Qin Dynasty.
With just one straight, there is no such large transport capacity.
"Let's go, let's see." Qin Yiren is very excited, the Great Wall is a symbol of the Chinese nation, and it cannot be missed, it must be seen.
No one will have any objections to this proposal, and everyone is excited and wants to see what is going on.
A group of people marched forward on horseback, and soon came to the Great Wall, and when they looked at it, they saw that the Great Wall was winding far away, like a soaring dragon, and it was magnificent.
"Yes, yes!" Li Si was amazed, and his eyes were straight.
"I really didn't expect that the power of man is great!" Han Fei was even more emotional.
"If you don't see the Great Wall, you don't know the greatness of manpower!" Qin Yiren greatly agreed with Han Fei's feelings.
The Great Wall is a symbol of the Chinese nation, and we don't know the greatness of our ancestors until we go to the Great Wall. In the Warring States Period, the Great Wall could be built for thousands of miles, which is so shocking!
Modern people, no matter what country they come from, are amazed when they go to the Great Wall and learn about the history of the Great Wall.
"Hmm." Qin Yiren looked at the Great Wall, shook his head, and secretly thought to himself: "Compared to the Great Wall in later generations, it is a little rough, and it is not suitable for combat. Compared with the Great Wall of later generations, it is far inferior, far inferior. ”
During this period, the Great Wall had not yet been renovated and rebuilt by Meng Tian, and the Great Wall of the Qin, Zhao, and Yan Kingdoms had their own characteristics, and their construction techniques were not so good, let alone suitable for war. It wasn't until after Meng Tian renovated that the Great Wall was more suitable for war.
The Great Wall handed down in modern times is the result of continuous repair and transformation on the basis of the Great Wall of Qin in successive dynasties, which is naturally much better than the current Great Wall and more suitable for the needs of war.
Li Si, Han Fei, and Meng Zhao opened their eyes wide, looked at the Great Wall desperately, and bursts of exclamations sounded.
Qin Yiren was a little difficult, and thought of a question in his heart: "After the unification of the world, will this Great Wall be repaired or not?" ”
This question really made Qin Yiren a little difficult: "If you cultivate, it will cost a lot, and it will be a heavy burden for Great Qin." If you don't fix it. And what is the merit in the Hereafter? Anyway. The Great Wall is the first national defense project in China's history. Although countless descendants are abusing them, they have to admit that the importance of the Great Wall to the Chinese nation is beyond doubt. Without the protection of the Great Wall, would the Chinese nation still be the Chinese nation? ”
In later generations, there were many people who scolded Qin Shi Huang, and there were also many people who scolded the Great Wall. However, the role of the Great Wall to the Chinese nation is very huge, just look at the history of the Han Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty, if the Han and Sui dynasties did not have the barrier effect of the Great Wall. The price to be paid by the Han and Sui dynasties was even greater.
At the beginning of the founding of the country, the Han Dynasty was pressed and beaten by the Xiongnu, and the Han Dynasty had no power to fight back. However, the Han Dynasty did not lose its land, why is this so? It is because the Han Dynasty had the Great Wall to rely on, and it could rely on the Great Wall to protect the interior.
As soon as Emperor Wen of Sui ascended the throne, more than 100,000 elites of the Turks were slaughtered, and Emperor Wen of Sui had to rely on the Great Wall for defense, and finally repelled the Turks. Then, Emperor Wen of Sui built the Great Wall on a large scale. With the great effect of the Great Wall, Emperor Wen of Sui simply blocked the Turks. This bought valuable time for the Sui Dynasty to unify China.
"Of course, I can defeat the Huns, and I can completely solve the Huns, but can I manage what will happen thousands of years later? Qin Shi Huang just wanted to manage the affairs of thousands of years later, but he died after two generations. The rise and fall of the dynasty is inevitable, there is no eternal dynasty, the Qin State may fall, if the Great Wall can be built, it will be a valuable wealth for future generations. Qin Yiren then changed his mind, but it was still difficult to decide: "In later generations, many people are slandering the Great Wall, saying that the Great Wall is useless. They forgot one thing: there are no universal weapons, there are no universal defense projects, only universal people! If people are incompetent, they will be sitting on thousands of atomic bombs, and they will also lose their country! ”
No matter how great a national defense project is, there are times when it fails, and this is not because the national defense project is wrong, but because people have not used it well.
"I don't want to think about that, I'll talk about it then." Qin Yiren had no choice but to stop this thought.
A group of people lingered on the Great Wall for a while, and then they got off the Great Wall, beat their horses and hurried straight to Zhao Jiuyuan.
Zhao Jiuyuan was south of the Great Wall, not far from the Great Wall, and it didn't take long for Qin Yiren and them to arrive.
As far as the eye can see, I see a majestic city in front of me, the city is high and thick, extremely strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Zhao Jiu was originally an important place for Zhao to prevent the Xiongnu and these nomads from going south, so it was naturally necessary to build extremely strong.
Qin Yiren came to the city on horseback, and when they looked at it, they couldn't help but be surprised.
I saw that the city wall was scarred, with sword scratches and arrow holes, densely packed, and at a glance, it was like a honeycomb, and I don't know how many.
On the city wall, there is a mass of russet, and the west is a mass of russet, everywhere, at a glance, I don't know how many.
These russet colors are blood after coagulation.
It is also Jiuyuan County, Qinzhi Jiuyuan County is neat and tidy, there are no scratches on the city wall, no holes in arrow clusters, and no russet, but Zhao Jiuyuan County is so scarred, the two Jiuyuan Cities are completely different.
The reason why this is so is because of the national strength and military might of Qin and Zhao.
The Qin State is strong, and the military power is extremely strong, not only the land of Shandong talks about the color change of Qin, but also the nomadic people of the Xiongnu also talk about the color change, and they dare not get close to the border.
And although Zhao was a first-class Warring States, it was far inferior to Qin. Every time the Xiongnu nomads harassed the border passes, they did not dare to attack Qin Jiuyuan's idea, so they could only attack Zhao Jiuyuan.
After a long time, there is the scene in front of you.
XXXXXXXX
Zhao Jiuyuan guarded the mansion, Li Mu frowned, into a Sichuan character, and kept pacing back and forth, anxious.
Sima Shang and these generals stood behind Li Mu, all with worried faces.
"Hey." Sima Shang sighed and said, "The Huns went south this time, there were millions of people, and there would be no less than 500,000 people who controlled the strings, how could this be good?" How is it good? ”
"It seems that this time it is a catastrophe." There are generals who are very unconfident.
"I wonder if the Qin State will send troops?"
"Don't count on it. The king of Qin only thinks about dominating the world, how can he deal with the Xiongnu. ”
"That is, King Qin wants to go crazy all day, and he will not send troops no matter what."
"Even if you want to send troops, it's just for show, to make a name for yourself."
The more the generals talked, the more unconfident they became.
The news of asking for help from the Qin State had already spread, but they had not received a reply from the Qin State for a long time, and they were either disappointed.
"General Yu, Qin Yiren asks to see you." At this moment, a personal guard walked in quickly and reported to Li Muyu. (To be continued.) )
