Chapter 169
The train was speeding for more than 400 miles a day, and stopped in a makeshift town in the evening.
The guards were a little distracted, even if they were assigned smaller, newer, better rooms, and it was rare to get a good night's sleep instead of sleeping in the dust, or sleeping in the car.
But many people don't feel sleepy.
Although the defense of the country is weak, there is no shortage of people of insight in the court.
They are only limited by various factors and are unable to change the status quo of the country, which does not mean that they are ignorant.
On the contrary, Weiguo, Liang, Zhengguo and other countries have a prosperous literary style and a large number of talents, and the degree of education is far from being comparable to that of Zhaoguo, who started with military exploits.
Along the way, these people had noticed that along the way, they had passed through several cities.
What can be called a "city" is naturally not a small town or small village, and it is often a county.
Such cities can be counted on only a finger.
There are people who have been to Zhaoguo and are very familiar with this road, and they have already roughly calculated that at this speed, they can take another one to two days at most to arrive at Lulong City, the royal capital of Zhaoguo!
From King Wei to Gaoqi Pass, they walked for two months.
But from Gaoqi Pass to the distant Zhao King's Capital, they only needed two to three days!
How horrible it is!
"Obviously, two years ago, there was no such road, such a magical train." King Wei's face was pale, and his heart was as dead as ashes. "If Zhao Guo builds such a road to defend the countryโ"
If that is the case, even if he flees back to defend the country and reunites a group of people to return to the country.
In just three or five days, the army of Zhao Guo can reach any inch of the country's territory!
Although on the other hand, he is not unable to use such a road to complete the counterattack.
The question is, does the Guardian know how to steer this magical train?
Even if you understand, where does the fuel come from?
Anyone who knows a little bit knows that this is no longer a simple gap between chariots and arrays, infantry and cavalry, as before, but a gap between manpower and extraordinary strength that is more difficult to catch up with and reach!
This has left many defenders in despair.
But at the same time, it also made the most orthodox, loyal, and most Gengjie scholars like Wei Ping toss and turn, and it is difficult to sleep.
A saying that is faintly circulated among the guards.
Why did the supernatural power manifest only in Zhaoguo?
Could it be that Zhaoguo is really destined to dominate the world?
Wei Yizhi faced the wall, breathing as lightly as possible, pretending to be asleep, but actually listening to the Chase bunk, the brothers and several clan brothers whispering.
"The destiny of heaven is in Zhao, and it is not impossible." The eldest brother lowered his voice and confided disrespectful words, "There are seven kingdoms in the world, and the Chen country is usurped by the courtiers, and it is not right to win the country; And I defend the country, as well as Zheng Guo and Liang Guo, and the scholars came to carve up the Jin Kingdom, and they have never sacrificed to the heavens and the earth, and they have always lacked three points. โ
In this way, there are only Zhaoguo and Zhuguo left, which are the monarchs who were personally canonized by the emperor of the Jiang royal family in the past, and the country has lasted for 600 and 800 years. But I wish the king to be arrogant, hundreds of years ago, he dared to arrogate the king, how can the mandate of heaven never favor the descendants of such a madman, right? โ
Someone immediately retorted: "Don't forget, the last emperor of the Jiang royal family was killed by Zhaoguo!" The national capital was also broken by Zhaoguo! If God really has eyes, how can he favor Zhaoguo? โ
"That's right!" Another person said, "Zhao Guo broke the capital of the Jiang royal family and killed Jiang Tianzi, have they been punished?" No! King Xiang did this, but he lived sixty and five. Previously, we thought that the Zhao Kingdom would change three kings in five years, the young king was no different from a puppet, the regent of the minister, the queen mother defiled the harem, and the male pet could also be crowned, all of this was a crime from God, but now, it is ...... Do you think it's like condemnation? โ
Everyone was silent.
If extraordinary power descends on the Zhao royal family, it can also be regarded as a crime descended from heaven, then what are they defending the country? Have you been given up by God?
So on the other hand, Zhao Guo killed Jiang Tianzi and destroyed Jiang Wang's family, but did not get any punishment, doesn't it just prove that Zhao Guo is the destiny of heaven?
Although the nobles advocate "eating the king's luck and being loyal to the king", they also believe in "being ordered by the heavens, and living forever".
If the country is destroyed by other countries, many of them will naturally refuse to pursue official careers, and even recruit guests to avenge the country.
But if that nation is commanded by heaven......
Who would dare to really go against God?
How did the defense of the country come about, everyone has not forgotten it! Therefore, when I think of "fame", I can't help but feel a little weak and short of breath.
Wei Yizhi listened to the discussion of his brothers and smiled softly.
He didn't know whether the Yin royal family of Zhaoguo was ordered by the heavens, but he knew very well that many people who said these words didn't really believe this.
They just want to find a reason to explain their defection to Zhaoguo.
Originally, many ministers are still very dignified, which is manifested in "The Zhaoguo Imperial Court recruits me, I will definitely not enter the office, unless King Zhao comes to invite me personally, it is possible to nod."
Everyone thought that after the destruction of Wei and Liang in Zhaoguo, they still needed the ministers and the family, otherwise there would be no way to figure out the local situation!
For thousands of years, so many countries have perished, isn't it all operated this way?
To govern the locality, don't you use the locals, but also use the outsiders?
Unless you bring the army over, send one or two outsiders in, and in the case of the local clan grouping and the villagers rejecting it, the outsiders will not do anything, and the work will not be carried out at all.
In such a situation, refusing to go out is already a very sincere expression.
Don't eat the enemy's food!
The whole family committed suicide and was buried with the country, after all, it is a very small minority.
Ordinary people still close the door and protect themselves, so they think that they have a lot of integrity.
But they don't play with you at all, and they don't even solicit you at all, and they just treat you as prisoners and forcibly relocate.
The glory and wealth are no more, and the family business and ancestral house do not exist.
As for the head, maybe it's also a temporary storage, so I don't know if I can keep it.
In such cases, many people immediately relented.
The integrity in their mouths is nothing more than based on the fact that they still have thousands of acres of fertile land, beautiful wives and concubines, virtuous reputations, and countless customers.
Once they encountered brute force and were driven away like prisoners for two months, not to mention power, status, wealth, and even dignity and life, most people simply threw aside the discipline and desperately pondered how to live.
But you can't just live.
People live with a face, and trees live with a skin.
Straightforwardly rebelled, not to mention how bad the reputation should be, even if you want to surrender now, people don't need it!
Not every minister is a Wei family, five generations of Wei Xiang, the golden signboard is placed there, once the surrender, the exemplary leading role is incomparable.
Ordinary ministers, such as so-and-so's deputy, so-and-so family, hang up or down, where can they get their hands?
"The first person to come up with this argument was also wise." Wei Yi thought to himself, "He may not believe this set of rhetoric, but he can make most people 'believe', and spontaneously discuss, praise, and sing, it will be successful." โ
At that moment, he suddenly heard beautiful music.
