Chapter 380: Chu Falls
"Zhao Guo?"
Zhao Tuo was stunned.
It's been almost four years since the fall of the Zhao Kingdom.
Suddenly came out of Xiong Qi's mouth, and Zhao Tuo felt very strange for a while.
But soon, he reacted.
Zhao Tuo stared at the disheveled and pale man in front of him.
This Xiong Qi has some ability.
What he said just now, whether it was the real reason for his Xiong Qi rebellion against Qin.
But when you say it, you can't blame him anymore.
Because Xiong Qi's actions were not simply a betrayal of the Qin State, but a betrayal for the bloodline inheritance of his surname and the continuous extinction of his ancestors.
The reason for this betrayal is very convincing in this era.
Except for the Qin people, who were betrayed by Xiong Qi and suffered heavy losses.
The people of the six countries in the world will all have admiration and regret for Xiong Qi's actions, and will even use Xiong Qi as a moral model.
This descendant of the Xiong family is really sacrificing his life for righteousness, and he does not forget the bloodline of his ancestors!
At the same time, Xiong Qi's words just now, in addition to talking about himself, were not to awaken the resonance of the Zhao family descendant in front of him for the surname bloodline and ancestral society.
Especially in the last two sentences, it is even more exhaustive, pointing out Zhao Tuo's identity and questioning Zhao Tuo morally.
I, Xiong Qi, am willing to give up the glory and wealth in the Qin State for the sake of the society of the Chu State, and resolutely leave Qin and return to Chu!
Aren't you, a descendant of the Zhao family, ashamed to help the Qin State that destroyed your ancestor Sheji?
If it were replaced by a Zhao nobleman who was born and raised and had the values of this era, maybe he would really be blushing by Xiong Qi's words, and even have feelings of admiration for Xiong Qi in front of him.
Once there is a flaw in his heart, Xiong Qi can take advantage of the situation to attack and kidnap with morality and morality to achieve his goals.
But for Zhao Tuo, the "bloodline surname, ancestral society" that Xiong Qi said did not touch him in any way.
Zhao Tuo didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically: "Jun Hou still remembers what I said to Jing Ke in the Qin Palace in the past. ”
"The world."
Xiong Qi muttered these two words, and then sneered: "What kind of world, isn't this the reason why you Zhao Tuo is greedy for life and afraid of death, and after betraying Jing Ke, he is afraid that his reputation will be ruined." ”
Zhao Tuo's face darkened.
I, Zhao Tuo, am afraid of death?
He said sharply: "The prince is inevitably the heart of a villain to spend the belly of a gentleman." If I, Zhao Tuo, were afraid of death, how could I take the initiative to ask for my life and go to the battlefield when the king of the past appreciated it and let me enter the school? ”
"I, Zhao Tuo, fight with people on the battlefield, and each rank is obtained from fighting, and I have been fighting for several years, and I don't know how many dangers I encounter. Last year alone, I attacked Shouchun with surprise soldiers, and returned to Qin for thousands of miles, all the way, where I did not encounter the danger of life and death. If I, Zhao Tuo, am greedy for life and afraid of death, how can I take the initiative to go to the battlefield? ”
"I was just coerced by Jing Ke to go to the Qin Palace, what Jing Ke did was the small righteousness of him and Yan Dan, and I, Zhao Tuo, have the great righteousness of the world in my heart, so I don't conspire with it."
"What the prince said, how unreasonable!"
Xiong Qi was silent.
Zhao Tuo said, he really couldn't find a rebuttal.
The battlefield is the most dangerous place in the world, and I don't know how many people have lost their lives on the battlefield throughout the ages.
Even the Qin army, which has always been invincible, had Li Xin's fiasco, and most of the 200,000 troops were wiped out, and it was precisely that battle that Zhao Tuo had experienced.
From this point of view, it really can't be said that Zhao Tuo is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death.
"What a great righteousness in the world. But have you forgotten your Zhao ancestor? The Qin people destroyed Zhao and cut off the blood and food of your ancestors, so you don't have the slightest grudge? ”
Xiong Qi stared at the young man in front of him.
He didn't believe that a young man from a real aristocratic background would have no nostalgia for his mother country.
He Xiong Qi was born in the Qin State, and he still admired the Chu State because of his blood, and was willing to choose to betray the King of Qin for the survival of the Chu State.
This Zhao Tuo is a nobleman who was really born in Zhao State, doesn't he have the slightest affection for his motherland?
Hearing Xiong Qizhi's question, Zhao Tuo laughed out loud.
"Zhao Guo, haha!"
"My father is loyal to the survival of Zhao Guosheji, and even admonishes Li Mu. The result? Zhao Wangqian was cruel and unreasonable, listened to Guo Kai's slander, and killed my parents. If I hadn't escaped with my life, I'm afraid I would have died. ”
"Then the king of Zhao is so mediocre, he kills loyal ministers and good generals, reuses traitors and traitors, and even their royal family doesn't care about their ancestors, why should I have any attachment to this Zhao country that killed my parents and relatives? Even when the Qin State destroyed Zhao and captured the mediocre King Zhao, I couldn't wait to drink and sing to express the joy of avenging my parents' revenge. ”
Xiong Qi's eyelids jumped.
The Qin army's destruction of Zhao, to a certain extent, was really avenging Zhao Tuo's parents.
Zhao Tuo doesn't complain about the Qin State, but it makes sense.
But Xiong Qi was unwilling, he whispered: "Qin State destroys Zhao, destroys your country's society, your ancestors will have no blood to eat!" ”
Zhao Tuo laughed and said softly: "Junhou, you are wrong. The ancestor of my surname Ying has his own blood food sacrifice in the Qin State. ”
"The first of the Zhao family, the ancestor of Qin. Our surnames are all descendants of Emperor Gaoyang, after Boyi. ”
"For the ancestor of the surname Ying, the Qin State still has sacrifices. As long as the Qin State does not die, my ancestors Gao Yang and Boyi will never stop eating blood, how can there be no sacrifice? ”
Seeing Zhao Tuo smile and speak.
The corners of Xiong Qi's mouth twitched.
He forgot that Qin Zhao had the same surname, and they were all the same ancestor.
Qin and Zhao are not only of the same descendant as their Chu State, but also the ancestors of Qin and Zhao are all Boyi.
The Zhao State would sacrifice Zhuan and Boyi, and the Qin State would also sacrifice Zhuan and Boyi.
So even if the Zhao Kingdom perished, his ancestors of Zhao Tuo were really bloody.
The only difference is probably that after Boyi was created, the ancestors of his Zhao clan had no sacrifice. But looking at Zhao Tuo's appearance, he wouldn't care about these things.
Xiong Qi sighed.
He really had nothing to say now.
Xiong Qi shut up, but Zhao Tuo felt it.
"The words of the prince, have you ever finished asking? If it's over, then listen to me. ”
Xiong Qi nodded silently.
Zhao Tuo opened his mouth and said: "The reason for the rebellion against Qin that Junhou Shicai said is just for the sake of one family and one surname, and the ancestors eat blood. Therefore, when General Li attacked Chu, he betrayed the Qin State. Such acts may be the duty of the prince, but for the whole world, it will delay the reunification for a longer time. ”
"In the past, Qin and Zhao fought each other, I followed the Zhao people at the bottom, and I saw with my own eyes that the head of Qiantou was displaced, the white bones were exposed in the wilderness, the people were uninhabited, and the common people were eaten by their children, how sad and sad the scene was, all these princes have not seen it, right?"
Zhao Tuo's voice was low, with a sense of sadness.
"The prince sits on the temple, wears brocade clothes and jade food, and can give orders with the command in his hand, enjoying great power, and can wage war at will for the glory of your nobles and the blood of your ancestors, and recruit the low-level common people to set foot on the battlefield."
"But have you ever asked whether in this world, countless Qianshou people are willing to sacrifice their lives and fight for the blood and food of your ancestors!"
"On the banks of Huaishui, embattled, can you remember?"
"The 20,000 Chu troops scattered and fled overnight, doesn't it explain everything!"
"Except for you nobles who are obsessed with the blood and food of the community, and have one surname and one family, the rest of the Chu people don't want war at all!"
"They have parents and wives, and what they want is for their parents and wives to be reunited, and to have a bite to eat at home, and they are already satisfied. So on the bank of the Huai River, when the Chu people heard the Chu song and heard me make a promise to them not to hurt their lives, you see how many people are willing to follow you in the end! ”
Xiong Qi couldn't help but argue: "Since you are against the war, why do you want to help the Qin State fight and kill the Chu people, isn't it a contradiction." ”
Zhao Tuo sneered: "If you want to have no war, the best solution is to unify the world." As Zi Mozi said, 'The righteousness of the world together is to rule the world'. I help the Qin State, just as Qin Mo helps Qin, all in order to make the world one faster. The process of Qin's unification of the world will certainly cause a lot of killings, but the long pain is better than the short pain, as long as the world is set to one. Then the war will naturally subside, and the people will be able to live and work in peace and contentment. ”
"This is what I Zhao Tuo wants, this is the righteousness that I Zhao Tuo is pursuing in this life!"
"For the sake of the righteousness of the world, even if the Zhao family is cut off, even if the six countries are wiped out, what does it matter!"
"I, Zhao Tuo, as long as the world is one!"
Zhao Tuo held his head high, his eyes were blazing, and his voice was full of incomparable firmness.
Facing the imposing declaration of the young general in front of him, Xiong Qi couldn't help but be a little shorter.
"The world."
Xiong Qi muttered.
He turned his head and sighed lightly: "You can see the destruction of the Zhao State without complaining, but I don't want to see the destruction of the Chu State." ”
Xiong Qi saw Zhao Tuo's expression firm, knowing that no matter what he said, it was impossible for him to move this young man's heart again.
"At this point, I have nothing to say, please give me a sword."
He propped himself up and asked Zhao Tuo.
"Li Shang."
Zhao Tuo glanced at Xiong Qi deeply, and already knew the other party's plans.
King Qin wanted Xiong Qi to die, but naturally he couldn't live.
But the nobility, there is also the way for the nobles to die.
Not to mention, he's a king.
Hearing the call, Li Shang pushed the door and entered, arching his hand: "General." ”
"Give him the sword."
Zhao Tuo spoke calmly.
Li Shang hesitated for a moment, but obediently drew out his short sword and handed it to Xiong Qi.
Xiong Qi stretched out his hand to take the Qin sword, and the palm of his hand stroked the sharp blade, and there were red blood dripping.
There was a sad look in his eyes.
"Please also tell the king, I, Xiong Qi, am sorry for him."
In Xiong Qi's desolate voice, Zhao Tuo nodded and agreed.
Xiong Qi smiled at this time, but his smile was full of bitterness.
He looked at Zhao Tuo again, his expression complicated.
"Zhao Tuo, Zhao Tuo, when I was in Xianyang in the past, I knew that you were extraordinary. But I didn't expect that the one who finally destroyed my Chu State was actually you Zhao Tuo! ”
Xiong Qi looked up to the sky and sighed, slashing his sword around his neck.
In an instant, blood splattered.
Xiong Qi, the last king of Chu, killed himself in the land of the Yue people.
Zhao Tuo stood in place, watching the blood with temperature splash onto his shoes, and a trance flashed in his eyes.
With Xiong Qi's death, the state of Chu can be regarded as truly dead.
This reminded him of the proverb that circulated among the Chu people in Shouchun.
The one who destroys Chu!
"The state of Chu is dead."
Glancing at Xiong Qi's body on the ground, Zhao Tuo sighed.
"General, the weather is unbearable, I am afraid that this Xiong Qi's body will be difficult to bring back to Xianyang, is it beheaded?"
Li Shang stared at the corpse on the ground and asked.
Zhao Tuo frowned slightly.
This goes to Xianyang for thousands of miles, and in the summer season, the high temperature is unbearable.
Xiong Qi's corpse is really difficult to deal with, I'm afraid it will rot and be full of maggots in a few days.
Zhao Tuo turned around and walked out of the house.
Only the aftersound is left to reverberate.
"Let's pickle."
There is something going on these days, so keep two shifts for the time being. There will be three shifts on the 19th and 20th.
