Chapter 206: It's really sad

The Qin army was defeated, and Guan Duwei Zhu Kuai committed suicide by jumping off a cliff. The deputy generals Lu Sheng, Yang Wu, Xu Hark, Ding Ran and others led more than 100 horsemen under their command, and fled westward, and the rest of the people rushed to the side of the road to surrender. It was already the middle of the night, and the original three extremely wide and deep trenches behind the pass were originally dug for the Chu army, but now they were disabled by the defeated soldiers of the Qin State because they were rushing to flee for their lives, and they all fell into the trenches with people and horses in the panic and darkness. There was not much time, and the trenches were filled. When the Chu army caught up, they stepped on the head and shoulders of the Qin army. Cao Shen and others took advantage of the victory to pursue, they seized every pass, occupied the card when they encountered it, and conquered more than a dozen Zika along the way.

Ahead came to a city with the word "Stone City" written on it. It turns out that there is also a Qin army guarding here, although the city is not big, but it is the road to build the city, and it is also the place where the Qin army stores grain. The generals of the Chu army came to the city, and the golden drums suddenly made noise in the city, and the banner of the Qin State was erected. Cao Shen and the others stationed the soldiers and horses, and then challenged them in a high-profile manner. But the city gates were closed, and the Qin generals did not come out to fight. In this battle of Wuguan, the 20,000 Qin army had been defeated, and there were less than 1,000 people left, and they came to Shicheng under the leadership of Lu Sheng and others. Everyone retreated to the city, told the generals in the city about the strength of the Chu army, and then worked together to hold on. Lu Sheng saw that Shicheng was not big, so he made a book to Xianyang to report to Xianyang, and then gathered everyone to discuss the strategy of defending against the enemy. Someone said: "The commander is 20,000 people, and he is exhausted in one battle, what ability can we have to defend this small city?" Yang Wu said indignantly: "As generals, how can we be half-hearted? Didn't you all see General Zhu's feat of jumping off a cliff? He dared to sacrifice for his country, so why don't we follow his example? When they heard this, they stood up with one heart. Later generations have a poem:

Zhu Kuai's original famous general died on the cliff and donated his body.

When you die, you can shed tears, and the living hurt even more.

Providence produces the bright moon, and the country is in danger.

Yaobang shows himself even more, and he is a celebrity for thousands of years.

The loss of the Qin State is not trivial. This letter was reported to Xianyang, and I was surprised. When the third emperor heard that Wuguan had been lost, he almost fainted, so he summoned his ministers and said: "Less than twenty days after I succeeded to the throne, the rebels have already entered the pass, what should I do?" The ministers were also flustered. Prime Minister Wang Juan ignored his old age, and resolutely asked for his life: "The day before yesterday, more than 10,000 militiamen were recruited from Guanzhong, and now they have been trained. So the old minister led them to kill the thieves, and they were bound to keep the enemy out of the country! When the third generation saw the white-haired Wang Juan, he said sadly: "Although the old prime minister is loyal, it is not a child's play to fight. I have made up my mind, and I should be the royal driver! As soon as these words came out, the court was shocked. The ministers hurried to dissuade the third. Suddenly, two people stepped forward and said loudly: "The two of us can lead the army!" If this is not good for the war, we must follow the example of General Zhu and die with the rebels! The third world looked at it, and it turned out to be CRRC Ling Han Rong and Lang General Geng Pei. They said impassionedly: "Your Majesty is the emperor of Qin, and all the people of Xianyang rely on, how can you go to the battlefield in person?" The two of us are willing to lead the troops forward, and we will definitely defeat Liu Bang and defend the Beijing Division! With tears in his eyes, the third generation said excitedly: "The two of you are really loyal, and it is really the luck of my Qin State to come forward at this critical juncture, I hope I can win here, I will definitely wait for your good news!" And he made them generals and gave them the seal of the sword. The two of them immediately went out to call for new soldiers.

In order to express the importance of the teacher, the third still led the hundred officials out of the city to bid farewell this time. When everyone came to Bashang, the third said goodbye to the two of them in the Shili Long Pavilion, toasted a magnificent line, and said: "In the past, the first emperor sent Wang Jian and Meng Tian from here to attack the two generals of Chu, and I also bid farewell to the two generals today. I hope you will work hard to make meritorious contributions, and you must repel the Chu army! Han Rong and Geng Pei were deeply moved, so they thanked them again and again, and then went away with tears. The third emperor and the ministers also watched the military horses leave for a long time, and looked at the vast and boundless Bailu Mangyuan, and it was always difficult for everyone to calm down. This was the second time that the Third Emperor had bid farewell to the soldiers, and he prayed to the heavens once again, may the heavens bless them to defeat the rebels and restore everything lost during the reign of the second emperor. The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled the land of Kawahara, and the third emperor still stood and stared for a long time, rather than going back to the palace earlier......

The next day, the third generation got up early again, and he suddenly had a whim, and said to Han: "I want to go to the ancestral temple." Han Tan asked, "Is there anything Your Majesty has anything to do?" The third world said meaningfully: "All the generals have gone out to fight, and I can't do anything but pray sincerely to the first king, hoping to bless the soldiers in front of me to triumph!" Han Tan knew that the third generation was under great pressure, so he said, "The minister is willing to accompany His Majesty." The third let him prepare the car. After a while, the car was ready. The third generation and dozens of other entourages such as Han Tan drove up to Lin Yuan. The old prime minister Wang Juan stood quietly in front of the palace gate, looking at the distant car with a solemn expression.

When the third came to the gate of the ancestral temple, facing the huge forbidden palace, he burst into tears. He swayed and looked around, and saw that there were scattered fallen leaves everywhere, and the mountains and rivers seemed to be getting old. Because it was already early winter, this scene seemed to set off the loneliness and helplessness of this king even more. He only felt the cold wind blowing on his face, and his body couldn't help but shudder. At this time, the third generation hated the uncompetitive second from the heart, and hated the traitor Zhao Gao who usurped power and misled the country. Although they are both dead, the damage caused by these two men to the country is irreparable. He only hated to kill Zhao Gao too late, if he could get rid of that dog thief earlier, how could the country get to this point? The third emperor also hated the invasion of the Huns, a foreign race that had been the natural enemy and mortal enemy of the Chinese since ancient times. Are they really going to fight to Xianyang? "Hu Ye, the Dead Qin", is this true? At present, General Zhao Hai reported one after another that a large area of territory south of the Yellow River had been taken away by the Huns, and the soldiers of the Qin army could only hold on to a few military strongholds and make a desperate struggle. What can I do? There are urgent voices everywhere, but the court has no soldiers to send! Some time ago, the imperial court had to send 200,000 craftsmen to prepare to resist the Huns, but who would have expected them to go halfway and hear that the Six Kingdoms had been restored, and most of them fled. The people of the Qin State had no favor for them in the first place, and they used to be whipped, bullied, and enslaved, so how could they be willing to work for the Qin State now? For many years, these craftsmen have been working day and night on the construction site, they have no days off, they can't see their relatives, they are also people, who doesn't want to go home? Who wouldn't want to stay at home and live their happy life? How can you blame them now? It was too late, but the hated old thief Zhang Han also surrendered to Xiang Yu, and he gave up 200,000 soldiers to Xiang Yu. The officials reported that Xiang Yu was about to lead a million rebels from Hebei, and their purpose was very clear, that is, to point their swords at Guanzhong and directly aim at Xianyang. No, they're here for me! The soldiers stationed in Shandong were in a hurry, but fortunately, Hangu Pass was still under the control of the Qin people. And the remote Wuguan has been captured by Liu Bang. Why is God so unfair to the Qin State? Why did everyone in the world rise up against Qin? The war in the north continues, and the fierce news in the south is repeated repeatedly, what can I do?

The third world looked up to the sky and sighed for a while, and then lowered his eyebrows and pondered. Han Tan gently reminded him to hurry in. Only then did the third generation silently climb the steps and walk into the temple. When he came to the tablet of his ancestors and fathers, as if he had seen a relative, he went to the kneeling felt in front of the arched table, knelt down reverently, and then closed his eyes and clasped his hands together. And so he knelt from the hour until noon. Han Tan reminded him to eat something many times, but the third generation refused. He prayed silently: he asked the previous kings to bless the Qin State, he wanted to rejuvenate the Great Qin State, and he wanted to turn the tide. It wasn't until late afternoon that the third let out a long breath, and then slowly got up. At this moment, he felt that his legs were numb and there were gold stars in front of him. Han Tan let him rest for a while. The third generation ate something casually, and then walked out and took the car back to the palace.

The king's chariot of the third generation happened to have no roof, and it suddenly rained when passing by Xingle Palace. Han Tan asked the third to go to Xingle Palace to avoid the rain. The third agreed, and the CRRC Ling drove towards the palace gate. As soon as everyone entered the room, they heard the cry of a woman. The third world was very puzzled, so he asked, "What's going on?" Someone replied, "This is from Jincheng, and it is the concubines of the former emperor who are crying." Since the death of the first emperor, they have suddenly been lonely, so they cry day and night. The third generation was furious and said: "Dead country! Why didn't you kill them? Han Tan was shocked and asked why he wanted to kill them. The third generation was extremely resentful, and said: "They confuse the emperor, disturb the court, and deserve to be killed!" Han said: "Although they are also at fault, they can't help themselves!" These women have been far away from their parents since they were children, and they have left their hometowns to come to the Qin State for only one person's sexual pleasure, can they be blamed? Although they have lost their support now, they are all innocent victims! Can their parents not feel sorry for them? "The third generation is worthy of being a Ming Jun, after thinking about it carefully, I feel that what Han Tan said is very reasonable, and the second generation is ignorant, how can I complain about them? said to Han: "Let them all go!" Han Tan knew that the third world was kind, so he said in a low voice: "Although Your Majesty is merciful, but now that Shandong is full of wars, how can a group of weak women return home?" The third world said: "Let the women in the gate be released first, and the women of the six countries will be arranged to live in the other palace for the time being, and provide food, and then send them home after the battle." Han Tan agreed very approvingly, and then immediately sent someone to Jincheng to evacuate and divert the harem personnel of the Second Emperor. In a short time, a team of nearly 10,000 fat fans left Jincheng and lived in some surrounding palaces. When the third generation saw that the people were finished, they came to the front of Caiyun Pavilion. He stood for a long time, thinking a lot, and finally said sadly: "This is a luxurious building, don't go in, let's go to Hongtai to have a look!" With that, he turned and left.

Everyone came to Hongtai on the opposite side. The third emperor had a soft spot for this place, because this was the place where the great first emperor lived, and the third emperor ascended to Hongtai accompanied by Han Tan and others. They looked around, stroked the Xuanlan Zhu threshold, and saw that the golden eagle bow used by the First Emperor was still on the weapon rack, so they took it down and carefully studied and rubbed it for a long time, and then put it back in its place. Looking at the Caiyun Pavilion from afar, I saw that the brand-new pavilion of the heavy eaves type is still towering into the clouds, and the carved beams and paintings and the gold bricks and blue tiles are still dazzling under the light of the setting sun. However, the scenery is still the same, the personnel are all different, and the pavilion and pool are empty. When the first emperor was at the height of his hegemony, he often held banquets here to celebrate, because every autumn, flocks of geese would fly by. The first emperor let the ministers compare the gifts, the generals to shoot, and he often pulled the bowstring and shot geese in the sky. He also sang with the ministers to express his ambitions. At that time, between their monarchs and ministers, Mu Mu Didi, was happy and leisurely, and there were really endless things to say and talk about.

And now, the hegemony of the Qin State has long ceased to exist, and this place has suddenly become deserted. Just a month ago, the Second Emperor was still gathering here, and he held a great party of ten thousand people, although he was extremely extravagant and depraved, and wasted state affairs, but they were no longer seen. The huge stage is already empty, silent, how can this situation be compared with that year? Since the founding of the Qin State, I don't know how many successes and failures it has experienced? How many heroes have appeared? How many great achievements have they built? And now all this is as abrupt as the prosperity in front of us. Thinking of this, the third generation wrote a long fu with tears to express the resentment in his heart. This Fu is also called "Hongtai Fu", to the effect that:

When I ascended to the Hongtai, I remembered the heroic first emperor; At the peak of Qin's hegemony, how brilliant the country was; The first emperor opened his bow and held arrows, and the wild geese descended in response. Qin is located in a beautiful place, and it was originally a strong state in the west. This is the imperial capital of the world, it is magnificent and magnificent. There are majestic buildings, palaces, pavilions; There is also the tallest building in the middle of the world, which is the world-famous Caiyun Pavilion.

Caiyun Pavilion, Caiyun Pavilion, stands in the prosperous and splendid capital; It is like a towering mountain, and white clouds float around the carved beams. Thinking of the previous Wanyan event, for a while, the beauties were like clouds, and the wine pool was like the sea. The majestic and towering tiled roof Qiongyu, its upturned eaves can peck at the canopy of the trees on the South Mountain like a bird's beak. In the past, the cigarettes that burned peppers and orchids in the cloud pavilion were like the clouds and mist of Longshan that rolled up from the west. Thinking of the strings that were played in the cloud pavilion in a hurry, it was like a gust of rain floating over the South Mountain. Thinking of the dancers stretching their long dance sleeves, it is like a rainbow appearing on Mount Hua. If you stand on the high Caiyun Pavilion and look into the distance, you can see the surging Weishui clear waves. Caiyun Pavilion is really a unique high-rise building in the world, he can overlook the Yi desert in the north, and can look at Cui Wei's Zhongnan Mountain in the south. Even the villages hundreds of miles away can be seen at a glance.

Caiyun Pavilion is so tall, but its appearance has brought infinite disasters to the Qin State. Standing high in the imperial capital Xianyang, the spring light is harmonious below, but the cold wind is blowing at the top. In one day, between pavilions, the cold and warm changes of the climate are so different. The beauties of the six countries were looted, and the ancestors placed them in the pavilion, and the grand and unprecedented singing and dancing party was endless, day and night, and the joy was endless. This reminds me of the ancient Shang Dynasty, who was really a bad and notoriously evil lord. Although he is brave and can fight fierce beasts with his bare hands, he has no way to govern the country and indulges his lust. He pampered the enchantress Daji and had too much pleasure, and he also liked the dance of the north and the soft and decadent sound of the deceit. He enlarged the gardens and hunting grounds, and built countless pavilions. He used a large pool for wine, and hung a large amount of freshly cooked meat all over the woods. He played a lot of bohemian tunes, and he had men and women dance all night long.

Alas! The sin is too heavy, remembering that King Wu of Zhou led the army of the princes to meet in Mengjin back then. He picked up the Huang Yue and Bai Xuan, which symbolized the royal power, and finally destroyed the brutal emperor. I also think of the absurdity and ignorance of the ancestors of the Qin State, he is almost the same as the emperor. He is young and does not understand the principles of governing the country, and he lacks independent thinking. Hate let the traitor take advantage of the loophole, this wicked man taught the young king badly. The Qin State built a large number of buildings and abused the people's power, which provoked a general revolt among the people of the Six Kingdoms. The rebellion in Shandong was surging in an instant, and the situation was developing so quickly. The warriors of the Qin State are like clouds, why do they all cease to exist in the blink of an eye? Far north in the desert, aliens have trampled on vast lands. There is also a remote and difficult Wuguan, and the army of Chu is already crowded. The subjects of the Qin State were panicked and did nothing, and they all thought that my ability was very limited. I am facing a dangerous family and country that is surrounded by enemies on all sides, and my heart is like a knife.

It is not easy for our ancestors to be honest in starting a business, and how difficult it is to build a country. Qin's ancestors are the descendants of Emperor Zhuan, and her name is Nuxiu. When the nun was weaving, the swallow dropped an egg, and the nun swallowed it and gave birth to a great cause. The son of Daye is called Da Fei, and he has a meritorious role in following Dayu to control the water. It has been passed down from generation to generation, and Mu Gong appointed Baili Xi to reap the merits of the five tyrants. Only if Ren Xian can use his ability, the Qin State will dominate Xirong from then on. O great ancestor filial piety, his exploits are the most brilliant and remarkable. Appointing the country's scholars and merchants, the Qin State rose in the West. Although the laws and regulations of the Qin State are strict, they can conform to the will of the people. The foundation of the Qin State has been passed to the first emperor of the first emperor, he is really a talented man, and the grand strategy can control the talents of the world for Qin. He waved his sword and pointed to the east, and all the princes and powerful states could bow down to them.

After 500 years, it has been unified, who else is there besides the first emperor? A huge empire has finally been built, but it does not need to be guarded by the royal way of a saint. The unprecedented construction of the Qin State finally led to the boiling of public resentment. Although the first emperor also has excesses, he can manage all opportunities and be diligent in governing the government. It was the turn of the second king to rule the world, and the government was chaotic from then on. All the virtuous ministers are far away, and even the brothers and sisters of the clan are not spared from being killed. No one can defend the huge country, and the traitors of the six countries are in turmoil. Thinking of the rebellious soldiers of the Chu State arriving from the rugged Wuguan, I only have sadness in my heart, but there is nothing I can do. Anger filled my chest, and I couldn't go down the stairs. The sky is dark and bleak, and the splendid rivers and mountains will be lost from now on. Yin is prosperous and yang is declining, things must be reversed, the day is coming to an end, I am so sad that I can't face the sunset in the West Mountain. Suddenly, I heard the geese crying and wailing on the Hongtai, and I was so grieved that I couldn't pull the bowstring. Let the wild geese place my sorrows, the sun is about to set, and the earth will eventually be swallowed up by darkness. Alas! Spirits, fathers and fathers, save me, the helpless King!

With great sadness and indignation, King Qin finished writing "Hongtai Fu", and he couldn't cry when he read it. The people who followed him on the left and right also wept sadly when they saw this. In this way, everyone sent away the last remnant of the sun in the sky in a miserable wail.

Later, Xiang Yu entered the customs and burned the palace rooms of the Qin State, and the two world-famous pavilions were burned down. Caiyun Pavilion is a miracle in the history of ancient Chinese pavilion architecture, it is a Qin Dynasty building with Chinese characteristics, and it is also a symbol of the prosperity of the Great Qin Empire. However, its existence is extremely short-lived, just like this empire is only a flash in the pan in the long river of human history, but it is the same as the Afang Palace, Weishui Hongqiao, and Xianyang's large and small palace annexes, gardens and gardens, it blooms the dawn of civilization, as well as cultural characteristics, as well as the unprecedented grand scale, are far more than the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace, the Old Summer Palace and other buildings in Beiping, so it is the most glorious chapter in the history of ancient Chinese architecture. But the regret caused by its rapid disappearance has forever become an eternal memory and pain that Chinese will never forget. At this point, the author was moved to this point, feeling the disillusionment of the rise and fall of the Siren Silou affair, and the sudden demise of this great empire, so he imitated the poem "Tengwang Pavilion" by the early Tang Dynasty poet Wang Bo and wrote the poem "Caiyun Pavilion":

Huangying makeup started singing and dancing, and Yuding flew full of fragrance.

Man sleeves towards Shuxi Yue Hong, the rapid strings play the rain in the south mountain at dusk.

How many springs does Yunge Hongtai have? Qin bricks and Han tiles have become dust.

The Guan River is thick enough to read the present and the ancient, and the Weishui sinks into the sand to compete for hegemony.

There are also two seven-character poems:

(Part 1)

The carved fence is full of color and turns the skirt, and the wind music Yaoqin is heard day and night.

The eaves are connected to the Qinling tree in the south, and the pepper is in the west of the Longshan clouds.

After the bright moon of the day, the founding of the country sighed.

The shadow of the light flying man changed on his behalf, and he didn't know where to hang Xiangjun.

(Part 2)

When the hegemony was shooting Hong, how could he know the bow regardless of the deer and horses?

For a while, Weishui was greasy, and the hundred-foot building was a battle feat.

The clouds are connected to the southeast and the mountains, and the wolf smoke is rolling in the northwest.

The dance in the pavilion is ugly, and the ancient soldiers come to have Pei Gong.
