Chapter 524: Heading South
Zhao Kuo could see that Zhong was just keen on fighting the Qin State and was not interested in other countries.
Whether it is Wang Ye or fighting for hegemony, these have nothing to do with him, he just wants to go into battle to kill the Qin people because he has an enmity with the Qin State.
For them, the Yan State and the Qi State were very unfamiliar names, very far away from them, and did not intrude into their lives as often as the Qin State.
Just like the people of the border counties hate Rong Di, other regions are also incomprehensible.
They may also know that Rong Di often plunders south, causing a large number of casualties and property losses, but they will not understand the hatred that has been fought for generations and penetrated into the blood.
I don't understand the kind of relief that when the people heard about the invasion of the Hu people, they prepared their own horses, food and weapons, and rushed to the battlefield.
It's not that they're not afraid of death, it's because behind them are their wives and children, their parents, their land, and their homes, and they must stand up and use their bodies to block the enemy's invasion.
"Yes, as long as the imperial court recruits, you, me, and all adult men in Zhao Kingdom will go to the battlefield. However, being able to govern one well is also contributing to the country, and if there is enough food, it is actually nothing to eat an extra meal. Zhao Kuo said.
The main reason for the low life expectancy of ancient people was malnutrition, serious physical deficit, and medical conditions were secondary.
After all, the body is the foundation, and the foundation is unstable, no matter how powerful the doctor is, it is useless, not to mention that most civilians cannot afford to hire a doctor.
In contrast, the life expectancy of the aristocracy far exceeded that of the commoners.
When Zhuge Liang was in his fifties, Sima Yi said that Zhuge Kongming could last a long time! When Su Shi was in his forties, he also said that he was 'born early.' ’
It can be seen that in the eyes of the ancient aristocracy, the normal lifespan should be how many years.
Although Zhao Guo can't let everyone eat meat now, he can still be satisfied with three meals a day, the previous generation can't help it, but the new generation can't let them continue to lose money, this is the future of Zhao Guo.
"That's what the nobleman said." Zhong Haha laughed, I don't know if I took it seriously.
"Thank you brother Tai for the water, it's time for us to go, bother." Zhao Kuo glanced at the food on the table, because he was there, they couldn't move quickly, they were all cold, and then got up and walked outside.
"Don't bother, don't bother, it's our blessing that noble people can come to the humble house." Zhong said with a smile and sent Zhao Kuo to the door.
"Brother Tai stays." Zhao Kuo turned around and said, boarding the carriage.
"Lord, shall we go north or south?" Ben asked outside the carriage.
Zhao Kuo didn't answer immediately, under normal circumstances, he must have gone north, and after inspecting the party, he went to Jinyang. But he wanted to go to Changping to see, which was the place where he fought for the first time.
In addition, there are tens of thousands of bones of Zhao soldiers buried outside Changping City, some with names and home addresses, have moved to their hometowns, but more bones without names and addresses remain in Changping.
I don't know anything except that they are from the Zhao Kingdom.
Zhao Kuo needs to sacrifice them.
"Go south to Changping." Zhao Kuo said in a deep voice.
"No." Ben's voice was loud and powerful, and he wanted to go to Changping very much, but if Zhao Kuo didn't go, he couldn't go, and now Zhao Kuo promised to go to Changping, he was naturally very happy.
The national highway of Shangdang County was repaired to the south until Tianmen Pass, and after Tianmen Pass it was the territory of Wei, and there was no official road to connect it.
The rugged area of the Taihang Mountain Road is narrow, the construction is too difficult, and the significance of connecting the official road with the Wei State is not very large, Zhao Kuo did not approve it, and the Wei State is also impossible to open up the road for the Shangdang to go south to Hanoi, which is undoubtedly for him to send Hanoi to the mouth of the Zhao State.
Zhao did not let down his vigilance against Wei, and Wei did not let down his vigilance against Zhao.
Wei is not South Korea after all, today it will recognize this country as the boss, and tomorrow it will recognize that country as the boss, whoever is strong will follow whom, there is no psychological burden at all, it is simply the Warring States version of the three-surname house slave.
Wei used to be the leading elder brother of the Three Jin Dynasty, fighting Qin in the west and Qi in the east, but now he can only follow behind his former younger brother Zhao Guo, and he is very unwilling in his heart.
However, after suffering such a loss, Wei also found that its geographical location was very poor, attacking the east, the west, the south, the north, the north, and the north, and all sides.
The state of Qin has been completely offended, as long as Hedong is in the state of Wei, the war between the state of Qin and the state of Wei will not stop, but even if Hedong is given to the state of Qin, the state of Qin will continue to attack the state of Wei.
After the Five Kingdoms invaded Qi, Qi was also completely offended by Wei, and then Qi and Chu jointly attacked Wei, and Qin sent troops to rescue.
As for the State of Chu, it has always been less than in the same pot as the State of Wei.
Now the relationship between Zhao and Wei is not easy to recover, Wei easily does not dare to offend Zhao, once offended Zhao, at least cede land and sue for peace, or at worst will be attacked by the five countries.
King Wei was extremely tormented in his heart, and he wanted to achieve hegemony, but he found it difficult to even keep the ancestral foundation, but he gave up completely, and he was a little unwilling.
Before entering Changping, Zhao Kuo first came to the Great Wall of Bailishi.
Shangdang was once divided into three and belonged to the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao and Wei, and the Bailishi Great Wall was the fortification built by Zhao in order to defend Han and Wei, but now Shangdang County all belonged to Zhao, and the Bailishi Great Wall was useless.
There were no soldiers guarding the Great Wall, and the houses below were only in ruins, and the weeds around the steps and in the cracks of the stones were extremely luxuriant because of the nourishment of blood, whirring in the breeze.
"This is where your father, Yang Qi, died in battle." Zhao Kuo pointed to the Great Wall at his feet and said to a young man behind him.
In the Battle of Changping, the Bailishi Great Wall guarded by Yangqi was attacked by the Qin army from behind, and the Bailishi Great Wall was lost, resulting in the Zhao army's back road being cut off, and Zhao Kuo could only throw it alone, leaving the army to go to Wei for help.
When the Qin army was repelled for the first time, Zhao Kuo inspected the whole army, and Yang Qi told Zhao Kuo that he had a son named Dingtian, and hoped to follow Zhao Kuo to learn the art of war in the future, and Zhao Kuo told him that as long as he could guard the Great Wall of Bailishi, he would definitely teach his son the art of war after returning to Handan.
Yang Qi broke his promise and failed to guard the Great Wall of Bailishi.
Zhao Kuo also broke his promise, and after returning to Handan, he did not teach his son the art of war, but was busy fighting for the throne and dealing with the Five Nations Alliance, and only then sent Dingtian to study in Handan Academy.
Now four years have passed, Dingtian has also grown from a teenager to a young man, and inherited his father's bravery and became Lang Wei.
"In this life, I will kill Xin Wu and avenge my father." He knelt on the ground with a bang, banged his head three times, and then looked at the sky and said firmly.
He didn't know exactly who his father died in, but he knew that the main general of the Qin army who attacked the Bailishi Great Wall at that time was none other than Xin Wu.
Then, let Xin Wu bear everything.
"Are the sacrificial things ready?" Zhao Kuo asked.
"It's ready." Liu Ping said.
"Take it." Zhao Kuo said.
