Chapter 527: Changping Sacrifice

Zhao Kuo and his entourage stayed in the chicken farm for a few more days, mainly because Li Yun took them to visit the chickens, ducklings and geese that had just hatched. An Ning and the others and the three little guys had no resistance to this furry thing at all, and they couldn't take a step after seeing it.

If it weren't for the fact that there was really no way to raise them on the road, the three little ones would have to catch a few and bring them back.

After leaving the chicken farm, continue south to arrive at Changping.

Changping does not seem to have changed much from before, except that the walls outside the city were removed and the moats were filled. It is still the same as before, the city bricks still have the blood stains left by those years, and the runes carved by swords and guns on the city wall have not been erased by the years, and they are still faithfully recording the tragedy of the war.

Zhao Kuo glanced at it from a distance, and did not choose to enter the city, but came to a huge cemetery outside the city, where tens of thousands of soldiers of the Zhao Kingdom were sleeping.

In addition to the pine and cypress planted around the cemetery, there is no decoration, there is only a lone stone tablet in front, and the stone tablet only has a short line of text: 41,213 soldiers of Zhao State in the Battle of Changping are buried here.

Maybe it's the reason why the cold food festival will be in two days, the stone tablet is full of various offerings, before Zhao Kuo arrived, there were many people who were sacrificing, Zhao Kuo lined up silently in the back, and waited until the other party finished the sacrifice before stepping forward.

"It seems that the officials of Changping did not take my orders seriously." Zhao Kuo nodded with satisfaction when he saw the offerings around the stone tablet, as well as the cemetery where there were no weeds and had obviously been taken care of.

Based on this matter alone, as long as the Changping County Order does not make a mistake of principle in the future, even if something happens, Zhao Kuo will decide to protect him once.

Except for a few people such as the Mo family, the vast majority of people attach great importance to the afterlife, and in the eyes of many people, what dies is only the body, and the spirit and soul will live forever.

Therefore, countless royal relatives and nobles have spent huge sums of money to build their own world after death, and have done their best to bring the glory and wealth of their lives into the world after death.

Sacrifice is not only a remembrance of the deceased, but also an encouragement to the living, a kind of faith inheritance.

The high welfare treatment solves the physical needs of the soldiers, the monarch personally sacrifices, and the country does not extinguish the incense to solve the spiritual needs of the soldiers.

These are the three most important steps in cultivating the martial spirit of the people of Zhao Guoguo, and now that the first two steps have been completed, only the last step remains.

As long as the soldiers really feel the huge benefits obtained from the battlefield, the war machine of Zhao State will gallop across the Central Plains at a faster speed than that of Qin State, and no one can stop it.

The people around were a little surprised to see Zhao Kuo and the others.

In the past few years, almost every day, people have rushed from all over Zhao to worship, and after arriving here, they didn't say anything, put down the sacrifices, stood silently for a while and left.

In addition, every year during the New Year's Festival, the government of Changping will also lead the people to sacrifice these dead soldiers.

But it was the first time they had seen so many armor soldiers come to worship, and there were not many people in the entire Zhao State who dared to do this, and there was no one in the party.

After all, not everyone can afford to buy armor, and not everyone dares to buy it, it is not illegal to fight a sword or something in Zhao Kingdom, if you dare to hide the armor privately, just wait to be beheaded.

Dare to blatantly take so many elite armorers out, either because of the cheat father, or because of his identity and illustrious person.

Judging from the fact that Zhao Kuo silently followed the back and lined up after arriving here, and restrained his children not to look around, and to be respectful, the former is obviously unlikely.

But after a while, everyone was relieved, no matter what his identity was, as long as he came to worship, it was his own person.

"The widow has come to see you so many years late, and I hope that you will atone for your sins." Zhao Kuo walked to the stele and bowed deeply. After the Battle of Changping, he rushed back to Handan from Hedong and did not have time to return to Shangdang, "We won the Battle of Changping, not only drove the Qin people out of Shangdang, but also drove back to the west of the Yellow River, forcing them to sue for peace in various places. ”

"After that, the Qin State united with the four countries to jointly crusade against our Zhao State, but we still won, defeating the Five Kingdoms in only a few months, forcing the Yan State and the Qi State to cede land and sue for peace. Although I don't know your name, your hometown, and where your relatives are, all the relatives and widows of the soldiers who died in the war have been settled, and they will never be wronged......

Zhao Kuo said sentence by sentence, as if chatting.

In the end, Zhao Kuo straightened up, his eyes slowly swept over the entire cemetery, and said firmly: "We have won, we have won again, we will always win......"

Everyone was solemn, even the three little ones.

Although Zhao Kuo didn't teach them too much, and sometimes took them to play and play, like a loving father, what they saw and heard along the way made them learn a lot at a young age.

"Bring up the sacrifice." Zhao Kuo said.

The soldiers behind him silently carried the cattle, sheep, and pigs to the front.

The surrounding people looked at the scene in front of them in disbelief, this is too strong, it will only be used when sacrificing the Heaven and Earth Sheji, and now it is actually used to sacrifice these soldiers who died in battle.

Combined with what Zhao Kuo said before, most people have already guessed Zhao Kuo's identity.

"It turns out that what the king said about personally sacrificing during the New Year's holidays is true, I'm afraid that there is only one monarch in history who can do this level, and other monarchs will not take a second look even if the soldiers die in front of them." Some people silently thought in their hearts that at this moment, they were a little envious of these warriors.

Zhao Kuo did not stay in Changping for a long time, and after the sacrifice outside the city, he did not choose to go north, but continued to go south and arrived at Tianmen, also known as Tianjing Pass.

To the south of Tianmen is Hanoi of Wei.

To say that there is no covetousness for Hanoi, that is false, Hanoi and Hedong were the essence areas of the Jin State and the Wei State back then, far more prosperous than the Shangdang, but the Zhao State does not have the strength to seize it now.

The state of Zhao is the land of the four wars, and it does not have the Hangu Xiongguan like the Qin state.

Once all the eyes of the princes of the world are focused on Zhao State, triggering a Six Kingdoms Attack on Zhao, the probability of Zhao State being carried down like Qin State is very small, and there is a great probability that he will be beaten half of his body like Qi State.

Even if the Qin State offends all the princes, it's a big deal to close the door and not play with you and develop your own, I don't believe that you six guys can always be united.

Qin Guo has long studied this group of guys thoroughly, and he can only unite for a while, not all the time, as long as he shrinks for a while, the six countries can beat their brains.

But Zhao Guo is different, the places bordering Zhao Guo and Yan Weiqi are all plains with a flat river, even if you want to shrink, you can't shrink.

"Turn around." Zhao Kuo took one last look in the direction of Hanoi, turned around and said.
