Chapter 141: Clan Relatives Plead
Qi rebelled against Qin.
As a result, the Qin army was attacked by the enemy, disintegrated and left, and collapsed.
Abandoned grain and grass and lost baggage, from the original 200,000, to 100,000, and then to be chased by the siege to 50,000, 20,000
Ten thousand.
And then to three thousand.
This battle was quite tragic, the terrain of Chu was already complicated, it was the middle of snow, the wild mines were white, and there was no place to see at a glance.
The soldiers of the Qin army came to Chu for the first time, and they had few opportunities to close their eyes and fill their stomachs.
Seventy percent died at the hands of the Chu army.
Death from severe sores, red and swollen skin, white tongue, vomiting and diarrhea and other diseases that consume more than 20% of the energy.
Tianye, the Qin people who licked the blood on the tip of the knife.
How ridiculous it is to be trapped by such a rich disease as not adapting to the water and soil.
But in the face of such a tragic situation, Li Xin realized that it was not because of Changpingjun's rebellion, nor because of Qin's sword.
Underestimate the enemy.
It's a giant snow monster lurking in the ice and snow.
Stick a knife in the snow.
Li Xin swallowed the sashimi with the ice slag, and narrowed his sharp pupils to reflect the sky that was about to blow in the snowstorm.
A small soldier beside him stuffed the fishskin baby he dropped into his chest like a baby, and smiled shyly in the face of his wolf-like gaze:
"This fish skin is a good thing, and my brother and I grew up wearing fish skin. It is possible to make clothes. ”
Maybe there are only snowflakes fluttering in the snow, and the sound of the belly can be heard in the silence.
After Li Xin's warning round, he leaned his back against the snow stack, licked the mince in his teeth and replied: "How do you make fish skin clothes?" ”
"That's it, remove the scales and beat it."
Xiaobing touched his head, "Then take the black blind man, the wolf's bones are sewn with needles, and it's good to be in a hurry, my grandmother said, you can't be in a hurry, and the doll who is in a hurry can't wear new clothes." ”
Li Xin went to see the sky again.
The earth-shattering blizzard is coming soon, and the road ahead is extremely difficult, and no matter how many swords and strategies they have, they are like ants at a loss.
The building will be overturned, what is the use of ants.
He said, "Are you hungry or not?" ”
The little soldier's stomach was like a war drum, and his face was red, but he raised his head and said, "General Hui, the Qin people endure hardships and stand hard work and don't shout hunger!" When he said this, his teeth were frozen and chattered, and he said, "Now that the Qin State is powerful, don't be bullied, go back. The roe deer scooped the fish, and the pheasant flew into the rice pot. After going back. Let's eat again, eat. Anyway, I'm hungry. ”
Get back.
Get back.
Take it back alive.
The blizzard entered Li Xin's ears high and low, looking at the front of him, if he could survive this blizzard, he might be able to go back.
Go back, he doesn't want to die here.
It takes more courage to live in humiliation than to die in passion, he is a loser, not a coward who evades the verdict.
*
The news of Li Xin's defeat soon spread to the temples of the Qin State, causing an uproar in an instant.
Inside the Changle Palace.
Bai Tao was divining, and the hexagram that came out three times was extremely unknown, but she didn't believe in these vain and vague intentions of destiny, so she lost the copper coin and changed it for divination.
"Be careful, this plum blossom is easy to fall, and if it falls again, it will be gone."
"It's okay, how much you fall, and then you put it in stock, and it will grow again."
Several talented gardeners from Wei moved in a plum tree from the outside, and the plum tree was small and exquisite.
But it is extremely curved, extremely thin, extremely sparse, rare and rare, expensive and old, expensive and thin, and expensive and combined.
Gently planted in the glass bottle, look at the vitality like taking root and sprouting branches.
They picked up the scissors and cut them carefully, cut them until the color and rhyme were good, and then they couldn't find any fault, and bowed their heads to Bai Taodao and knelt down: "Back to the queen, the plum blossoms are born." ”
A large pile of copper coins fell under the white peach, and he didn't raise his head when he heard the words: "Go down." ”
"Yes."
A few people were about to retreat, when suddenly a gardener asked curiously, "Queen Niangniang, why do you repeat divination so many times?" ”
They looked at each other, because they were all florists who had served the dignitaries and nobles of the Wei State, and they had a vision and knew how to make fun appropriately.
Bai Tao shook the copper coin and said, "I don't believe this." ”
Several Wei gardeners looked at each other: "Queen Niangniang, if you don't believe it, why do you want to divination?" ”
She put down her hand, looked at the copper coins on the long carved case, counted them and smiled: "Ah, look, this is a hexagram of good fortune, but it doesn't hurt to believe this." ”
When she said this, her clear amber eyes were lifted upward, as if plum blossoms were pressing the tails of her eyes.
The smile was bright and moist.
The florists couldn't help but think that King Qin should be more suitable for raising flowers than them.
After they left, Bai Tao finally raised his head from a pile of copper coins and asked the palace people beside him: "How are the plum blossoms given to the minister's wife are blooming now, I remember that in the first three years, several plants were sent to each government one after another, and Rui'er was registered." ”
A clever palace maid stood up to get the bamboo slips, and then came over and said: "It's very good, the grace of the Wang family, the mother's kindness, now I can't help but miss it, this is the book of thanksgiving." ”
The bamboo slips are all written in the vernacular by a group of slaves.
The white peach unfolded and glanced at it a few times and put it in his hand.
The clever palace maid said: "Now Xianyang is expensive to explore plums, and Yinmei is elegant, don't say that you are a nobleman, even if you are a businessman, the wine shop and the book building must be planted with plum trees, otherwise you will lose your style." ”
"In a few years, it should be covered with Xianyang, and the red mist will fall in the snow."
Bai Tao cupped her cheeks and said: "It's a pity, it's snowing heavily, and Rui'er happened to go out of the palace to visit her father and mother, and no one appreciated the snow with me." ”
The palace maid hesitated for a while, and said: "Forgive the slave maid bluntly, the king was furious when he learned of the military situation on the front line, and no one in the palace had been closed for three whole days. ”
Bai Tao skimmed these words to his heart, and said: "The defeat was tragic, the Qin State lost 200,000 soldiers, and even the bones could not be recovered. ”
The palace maid was speechless.
"Hmm, is it just because I'm his woman?"
Bai Tao tilted his head, his cherry lips opened slightly, and his eyes fell on the plum tree next to the screen, "If Brother Zheng comes, I will always be here, and when he comes in, I will tell him that this year's plum blossoms are blooming very well, and nothing else." ”
The palace maid knew a lot to say, and hurriedly knelt on the ground: "The mother forgives the sin, and the slave and maid lose her words." ”
"Get up, there are so many guilty people kneeling outside the Xianyang Palace, where is there still a crime to get your turn."
Bai Tao fiddled with the copper coins on the long case, looked at the hexagram that was made up, and curled his lips and smiled, "Ah, it's rare, such a big snow is actually a good luck hexagram born after getting out of trouble." ”
*
The first hexagram is actually a dead end.
It doesn't matter if you do more.
The little fox of white peach never believed in fate.
When the heavens shouted for you to eat good fruit, she was able to lift the pot and roar with eight big tails:
"There's a kind of you coming again."
From the warmth of the palace to the rolling snow-capped mountains.
Bai Tao stretched out his paws and tugged at the hood on his head, snorted a cold demonic aura, and lowered his eyes to look at the exhausted Qin army below.
They braced their bone-piercing weapons, dragging their weak steps and leaning forward with tenacity.
Where is the homeland, where to go is the direction.
They are lost.
The wind and snow made them so small, so small that they had no shape, only afterimages, even if they died in the vast heaven and earth, they would not let the majestic and cold snow-capped mountains bend their waists.
But Brother Zheng will be sad.
Although he does not command the army to fight, he will always be the judge of military strategy.
These are all his Great Qin people, the spark of Great Qin, and the soul of Great Qin.
Bai Tao rubbed his paws, the silver-veined fur sleeves were blown slightly, and a group of mottled fur snow wolves next to him leaned over, led by the wolf king who had saved Bai Tao and Yingzheng.
It sat with its tail in a circle, and leaned over with its nose twitching: "Are you a mountain ghost?" ”
Bai Tao turned his eyes sideways, and turned the money on his hand: "That's it?" ”
It crooked its wolf head, a silly look that can't be digested.
"I'm not a mountain ghost."
"You are, you're not like those ordinary mortals."
Bai Tao stopped talking, only cocked the fox's ears to listen.
"It's extraordinarily good-looking, it's a mountain ghost." The wolf king knelt on his forelimbs, his head hanging down.
White Peach: "."
A large group of wild wolves behind also knelt down, whimpering in their mouths, their tails wagging down, and the wolf king prayed, "Mountain ghosts, you didn't bring flesh and bones and jade, please forgive the little demons for their recklessness and inconsiderate reception of you." ”
Bai Tao was speechless.
It seems that the goblins are really in decline, and the wolf king was also a mountain spirit who guarded it, but he was pitifully reduced to the point of being a wrong god.
She pointed to the lost Qin Jun below: "It's right for you to worship me, lead the group of people below back to the clan, and I will bless you." ”
The wolf king kowtowed and hung his tail, not thinking about it, respectfully and piously: "It is our honor to see your holy face and get your mercy and love." As he spoke, it let out a long howl, and a group of wolf shadows descended the storm under the snowy mountains.
Halfway through the claws, the wolf king and demon pupils looked back: "Please also ask the mountain ghost clan for guidance." ”
Bai Tao paused, "The stars in the sky, the place where the imperial star rises." ”
*
months later.
The Empress Dowager Huayang passed away, and the white flag was hung in the palace, and the respected old man fell down and suffered from the rebellion of the Qi family.
After sorting out the aftermath of the Empress Dowager Huayang, they wore linen and filial piety one after another, kneeling in front of the Xianyang Palace to plead guilty.
And the gate of Xianyang Hall is still cold and cold, rejecting people thousands of miles away.
In the side hall of the Changle Palace, a corner of the window is opened. You can see the snow covered with new plums, like thousands of fires burning in the snow, Xianyang Biwa reflects the first exquisite and clear, agate built of the palace pavilion,
The stove inside is rising, and the aroma of meat is overflowing.
Chef Gu's subordinates were skillful, and while castrating meat, he looked up at the endless eaves outside the window and sighed: "It's really a good year and a lot of snow." ”
The other corner of the eaves is outside the palace.
The same luxury is rampant, and General Wang Jian is lying on the top of the collapsed nest in a loose nightgown with his feet crossed.
Ran for Qin for most of his life.
His sideburns were already completely white, and the thunderbolt suddenly stopped, his eyes opened to look at the location of the palace, and he snored: "The snowflakes are as big as a mat, and they are gnawed on the pot helmet." ”
"Poof."
Mrs. Wang, who was sitting next to him sewing clothes, couldn't help but laugh and smacked him, "What kind of poetry, a strong man in the countryside!" ”
Lost the sewing basket and said, "I just slept for a long time, and I was thinking about eating, there was still a pot helmet in the pot, dry, mushy, don't put anything, what you love, I'll get it for you." ”
Wang Jian closed his eyes and said: "The soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, and it is not a day or two to prepare." ”
"I still think about war!"
Old Madam Wang threw Zhang Guo's helmet to him, "You don't look at how old you are now, you are all a big father, and King Qin won't let you go, don't you give yourself a little more rest?" In a few years, even our ben'er will get married, and the new daughter-in-law will toast you, don't be a stubborn fool. ”
He gnawed on the pot helmet and chewed slowly: "Madame. Lian is quite old. ”
"Don't think about it, no one eats as much as you do."
“……”
Suddenly a little stuck, he swallowed hard and said, "How is Xianyang Palace?" ”
"Iron is still kneeling."
Old Madam Wang picked up the bone needle and picked up the thread, "What do you do with these, you take care of yourself first, I said you, you usually don't see gold threads when you dress in the house, why did you suddenly make so many rich and famous, look at your whole house, it is like a gold box." ”
She looked at the carved fences everywhere in the house, her eyes hurt, and she put down the needle and thread and said, "Husband and wife for decades, you usually see you stuffing meat between your teeth, you have to pick it clean and swallow it, a pot helmet can be thick and thin, Lao Wang's family, I really didn't see it?" ”
"Cough cough ......!"
Wang Jian choked a little in his throat and stretched out his hand.
Old Madam Wang gave him a blank look, got up and poured water for him.
Mrs. Wang, who couldn't stay idle, sat there and mended her clothes again, and when she saw Wang Jian indifferently and continued to sleep, she couldn't help but say: "That's your soldier, who died in the vast Chu State, are you really not distressed, and you can still sleep?" ”
Wang Qian's tiger body lay on the couch, sleeping as the snoring gradually started.
"Bad old man, don't fool me with your trick on officialdom!"
Mrs. Wang was so angry that she pulled out a needle and thread and wanted to pierce it.
Who would have thought that Wang Jian would lie straight up, rub his temples in the face of the pungent old wife, and said, "Madam, didn't you say that the old man doesn't fight?" ”
"I don't know you yet, you're worried about it."
Mrs. Wang said, "Look at the snow and see what soldiers and horses, wear shoes and step with the battlefield, rumbling, if you turn over in the middle of the night, your eyes will pop out, get up and sit on the couch, I don't know what I'm thinking, every time I ask, what is the solar term, is the snow falling big." Grandson plays a splashing drum, knock knock, you are as fierce as you want to rush up and eat human flesh. ”
“.”
Wang Jian sighed: "Madame understands me." ”
"If King Qin really wants you to go to war, don't let Lao Niu take a bite of 600,000 Haikou, I will be shocked when I hear it."
Old Madam Wang, "There are so many soldiers, how big is the Chu State, can you stand down?" I'm a woman and I don't know anything, but I also know that when you do business, you can't ask too hard. ”
Wang Jian stared for a moment: "Look." ”
"What? It is possible to make a counteroffer. ”
He shook his head: "600,000, attacking the Chu State, there are many people." ”
"600,600,000, you are really a bull's temper, the stuffy gourd can't hold back a few sounds, say a word, the rest is all up to people to guess, after so many years, I have had enough of you, it depends on whether King Qin can stand it."
After Mrs. Wang finished speaking, she went to get the needle and thread again, "I see, Ben'er's stubbornness is all learning from you!" ”
Wang Qian's gaze was as calm as an ancient well, looking at the glorious palace in the distance.
"Look, see how hard the snow is falling."
The sound was mixed with the pot helmet and swallowed into the abdomen, and no one could hear it clearly.
In Xianyang City, a group of Chu clan relatives with Eguan Bo knelt down, Qin Chu married women and daughters, and once swore to be a country of brothers, and the bloodlines of Qin and Chu have long been confused.
After hundreds of years of boundless growth, it has long been impossible to distinguish how many roots and how many leaves there are.
Now Mi Qi rebelled against Qin.
This group of canopy trees seemed to have been smashed on the head, and the trunks of the trees were smashed into depressions, bursting out with rich sap, and falling to the ground in response.
"The king, Mi Qi harbors evil intentions, mutilates loyalty, mutilates Qin people, what a jackal and tiger heart, people and gods are angry, heaven can't tolerate it, the Qin army is defeated, the Qin law, the treason ministers and others sit and take responsibility, and the criminal minister Mi Ba and a cadre of clan relatives come to ambush the crime! I beseech the king to give death! ”
"The king, the ministers are guilty of condemning the country, and they are really shameless to face the ancestors and the ancestors, the sins are not forgiven, and the king is asked to surrender!"
"Your Majesty, the minister implores, go to the Chu State alone, and never give up if you don't kill the traitorous slaves!"
"The king, face the Xianyang father without a word, and guide the 200,000 soldiers with his soul!"
Finally, after the King of Qin closed the palace for half a month, and the Qin people spat endlessly in the market, seven or eight people who died first committed suicide, and they were depressed and angry for a while.
The snowflakes were torn to pieces and scattered, and the more violent wind and rain mixed with the bitter winter cold.
The bronze crane and bronze turtle standing on the square inch hall have a high outlook, standing still in the heavy snow, and the natural and unstained snow light is particularly cold and dark.
The patriarch, who was old and frail and had high prestige, was even more sad and fainted.
The brave man's hair was gray, his eyebrows and sideburns were frosty, and after closing his companion's dead eyelids, he didn't think about it, and drew his sword to cut his abdomen.
"Poof."
"Ahh
"The sinner is punished! I also hope that the King of Qin will treat the young children and weak women and children of the clan generously for the sake of the blood connection! ”
Crying and flesh rubbed against each other, and blood stained the white jade bricks.
Suddenly, the door of Xianyang Hall opened.
Seeing the King of Qin, Zhao Gao shook off the floating dust and came out, and his sharp and thin voice swirled into everyone's ears, "The King of Qin has an order, Xianyang hangs the flag for 30 days, and everyone is vegetarian to sacrifice the soul of the Qin army, and the room gets up and ,—— retreats - retreats again - retreats three times - return." ”
