-- The book continues --

Because of the Shangdang incident, the Battle of Changping broke out.

At this time, in the palace of King Qin, Fan Ju brought the news of King Zhao's change of general, and King Qin was also very happy: "Uncle Fan, you go and tell Wu Anjun to prepare to rush to Changping immediately!" ”

Bai Qi was an unparalleled battle-hardened general during the Warring States period; He has always been able to fight habitually, wise and brave.

In terms of handsome talent, Zhao Kuoyuan cannot be compared with Bai Qi; In terms of military strength, it is difficult for the Zhao army to compete with the Qin soldiers, Zhao Kuo is the golden rank in the growth period, Wang Ji is the platinum rank of the complete body, and Bai Qi can be said to be the general of the strongest king rank, how can Zhao Kuo's golden rank beat Bai Qi of the strongest king, so Zhao Kuo is not on paper, but the rank is not enough.

At this time, Bai Qi didn't want King Zhao to replace Lian Po, Qin cut off the grain road of the Zhao army, and if he wanted to break it, it was naturally easy, and replaced that Zhao Kuo turned defense into offense, taking advantage of the grain and grass to attack directly, exchanging life for life, and it was necessary to lose both.

Bai Qi repeatedly asked Ying Ji to suspend the attack on the party, but Ying Ji disagreed, and as soon as King Zhao Mourning Xiang succeeded to the throne, he relieved Lian Po of his military position, and sent Le Cheng to replace Lian Po, who was leading the troops outside.

The snow of the Qin Kingdom was sprinkled, and a few snowflakes fell on the treetops and turned into a piece of frost.

Bai Qi wore a cloak on his shoulders, through the courtyard wall, looking at Daqin, who was covered in silver, unconsciously, it has been almost twenty years since he left Shizun, Shizun asked me to take precautions against Ju, and soon Fan Ju asked Wu Anjun to set off for Changping immediately after the year, after Bai Qi took the will, he remembered Shizun's evaluation of Fan Ju's words, and he thought about it and smiled: "My king has Fan Xiang, abolish the Marquis, chase Huayang, strengthen the office, Du private door, encroach on the princes, make Qin become the emperor, and hope that Fan Xiang will have more support!" Bai Qi is a military general, if there is anything wrong, look at Haihan! ”

"Wu Anjun, it's ridiculous! In the future, you and I will work together, and we can also pass on our reputation to future generations! Fan Ju felt proud for a while, and after a period of greetings, Fan Ju took his leave.

The Battle of Changping in history is the last battle of Bai Qi, the most famous annihilation battle in history, and then because of Bai Qi's high merit, he offended Ying Hou Fan Ju, and was demoted one after another.

And now Bai Qi has decided that after the end of the Battle of Changping, he must get rid of Fan Ju according to the instructions of his master.

Zhao changed generals, people slaughtered and went on the expedition, and the sky above the Battle of Changping was surging.

The next day, Bai Qi put the armor on his body, with an indescribable chill, dressed in leather armor, tied his hair, and hung the long sword on his waist What you need to know: sword, the king of a hundred soldiers, the sword, the gentleman, there is a way to advance and retreat, to find the moment vertically and horizontally, to return to the sheath and hide, and the edge is exposed.

The national strength of Zhao at this time has been crumbling, Qin has the heart to destroy Zhao, Zhao has the ambition to kill Qin, since Hu Fu cavalry shooting, the Zhao army has a great force, but when it comes to national strength, it is not as good as the Qin State after the Shang Dynasty changed the law.

Zhao Kuo stood in the camp for a long time, he knew that Changping would be defeated, once Changping fell, the Qin army went north, Handan was broken, and Zhao was destroyed.

On the other side, Bai Qi secretly met with Wang Yi with soldiers, horses, grain and grass.

In the evening, in the big tent, Wang Yi and Bai Qi chatted while eating, Bai Qi looked at the soldiers not far away disposing of the corpses, and couldn't help sighing: "In this winter, how many people died of famine and cold in the land of Huaxia?" ”

"Wu Anjun, you ......" Before Wang Yi could say anything, he was interrupted by Bai Qi: "Wuhua-Xia from the battle of Zhuolu to the battle of Dayu to the battle of Muye, how many people have been killed in battle, how many people have been displaced, and how many people have died?" ”

Wang Yi was silent and fell into deep thought.

Bai Qi's voice was a little trembling and said: "The family is ruined, people are displaced, there are people who cannibalize each other, there are those who self-immolate because of freezing, and there are those who beg to death by grabbing the ground with their heads, Daqin leads an army of 640,000, and Zhao has 460,000, which can be described as a battle for the whole country, I Bai Qi doesn't want to look at the dead, Hua-Xia must be truly unified, Lao Wang, this may be our last battle!" ”

Zhou, in name only, Qi is strong and middle-class, Han is small, Yan is useless, Wei, the king is jealous, Chu, Wu Qi and Chu Huai have lacked national strength. Compared with the Qin State, it can fight a war, and there is only one Zhao family in thirty years.

Since Zhao Wuling King Hu Fu rode and shot, Zhao Jun was prosperous, and the guerrilla was quite strong.

What does Wang Ji want to say, can he start from that, yes, in this troubled world, human life is very cheap, as cheap as mustard, and there is still a person who dies?

"Report!" At this time, a soldier interrupted the conversation between Wang Yi and Bai Qi.

"What's the matter?" Wang Di asked.

"Zhao Kuo is in the middle of the plan, and he has entered the encirclement of Wu Anjun!" The soldier said.

"Herald, go on the march!!" Bai got up and said calmly.

………………

Because of the battle of Yan He, Zhao Hao defeated the Qin army, which made Zhao Guo have a fluke mentality, if he concentrated his forces to fight to the death, maybe Qin was not invincible, so he changed his strategy of sticking to it, replaced Lian Po with Zhao Kuo, and Zhao Kuo defeated Wang Yu several times, and other generals of Zhao State collectively encouraged Zhao Kuo to destroy Qin in one fell swoop.

The war of hundreds of thousands of people, sometimes momentum is the decisive role, Zhao Kuo closed his eyes, then opened them again, picked up the pen and wrote on the empty bamboo slips, hundreds of thousands of lives, just because I fought to the death.

After this battle, I, Zhao Kuo, am afraid that I want to leave a "paper soldier" infamy, King Zhao is incompetent, I can't abandon it, that is, for Zhao generals, I should be loyal to the monarch (in fact, "paper soldiers" is the embodiment of King Zhao's idea of risking to seek strategic Armageddon, Zhao Kuo is behind the black pot. ）

Everyone knows that the Qin army is more than 600,000, the Zhao army is only more than 400,000, and there are mountains nearby, which is not conducive to the cavalry of the Zhao army, and it is almost impossible to break the Qin army.

The battle between the two armies of Qin and Zhao was in short two days, and the two armies met each other in more than ten short battles, including large and small battles, encountering, attacking, defending, harassing, and doing everything to the extreme.

Zhao Kuo ordered hundreds of thousands of Zhao troops to storm the Qin army fortress from all directions, but they were never allowed to break through.

Bai Qi ordered the two wings of the surprise soldiers to attack quickly, cutting the Zhao army into three sections, the Zhao army was separated from the end to the end, and the grain route was cut off.

The Qin army sent light cavalry to constantly harass the Zhao army, and the Zhao army's battle situation was critical, so it had to build a fortress wall to hold on, waiting for rescue.

At this time, King Zhaoxiang of Qin heard that Zhao's grain route was cut off, and issued a national mobilization order, conscripting all men over the age of fifteen in Qin to fight for the war, and crowning the conscripts with the title of first-class, he personally went to Hanoi to supervise the war, in order to block Zhao's reinforcements and grain and grass, and poured the strength of the whole country to fight against Zhao.

Zhao Kuo defended for forty-five days under the offensive of Bai Qi, Zhao had nothing to eat, please Su Yu Qi and Qi did not listen, Zhao could not continue to support, Zhao's grain output was only one-third of Qin's, the war lasted for three years, and the huge consumption of 200,000 troops completely exposed the weakness of Zhao's economic strength, and he was more anxious to end the war.

The Qin army took advantage of the Zhao army's defenselessness and captured it, cutting off the Zhao army from the rear, which was the beginning of the crisis for the Zhao army.

In September of the same year, Zhao Bing had been starved for 46 days, starving, the army's heart was shaken, and the soldiers killed each other to get food, which was unbearable.

The army of Zhao has been out of food for forty-seven days, Zhao Kuo has been cornered, regrouped the troops many times, divided into four teams to break through in turn, and finally could not come out, with the passage of time, it became more and more ethereal, all the officers of Zhao asked Zhao Kuo clearly, why Zhao Wang's hundreds of thousands of troops and food how long it took to arrive.

"From the beginning to the end, there were no reinforcements and no food to support us." Zhao Kuo looked at the generals' expectant gaze, Zhao Kuo still said helplessly and ashamedly.

"What?" The crowd was shocked.

"Zhao Kuo dares to fake the order of my king, Zhao Kuo, how dare you?" A middle-aged general directly punched Zhao Kuo to the ground.

"Four hundred and fifty thousand people, that's the 450,000 men of my Zhao country! Why is Zhao Kuoru like this, why? The general on the other side asked.

"We can't let the good sons of my Zhao State accompany Zhao Kuo'er to die, we withdraw our troops, more than 400,000 people!" One of the generals prepared to leave after speaking.

The other generals also left with the general, Zhao Kuo looked at the departing generals, hurriedly got up, and didn't care about the blood stains on the corners of his mouth, and said loudly: "Everyone, please listen to my words, after the party, it is Handan, if the party is broken, the Zhao country will die, our wives and children will give the Qin people slaves, Changping can not be broken, if we kill the enemy, hurt Qin's vitality, and the strong enemy looks around, Qin does not dare to move." Although the party is broken, Zhao Guo can be protected, our wives and children can be protected, Zhao Kuo has deceived you, so he will be ordered by your hands, this time and fight with me, punish Qin to serve the country, can you? ”

"My king, what order did you convey?" A man led by the generals asked.

After Zhao Kuo showed King Zhao's order to everyone, the generals looked at me and I looked at you with an incredible face.

"Zhao Kuo knows that after this battle, he will definitely be pointed out by thousands of people, leaving a reputation for eternity, but my king is not wrong, the party cannot be broken, the mourning soldiers will win, and then stand, please help me!" After Zhao Kuo finished speaking, he bowed deeply.

The generals looked at Zhao Kuo under the bow, and hurriedly helped Zhao Kuo, everything was in plain sight, this battle would be the last battle, and the millions of troops rushed forward, and the Zhao army had no chance of winning.

Forty-eight days after the Zhao army ran out of food, under Zhao Kuo's order, the Zhao army did not want to die at all, and the cavalry of the Qin army found that the old Zhao army was rushing in front at this time, and the young and strong ones would rush over with the corpses of those people after they were dragged and cut them off their horses.

Qin Junran was afraid. But it was too late, and countless swords beckoned to them.

The morale of the Qin army can be said to have fallen to a valley, the Zhao army was surrounded, the snow kept falling, and the battlefield of hundreds of thousands of people, almost cutting the snow can see a half-buried corpse.

The Zhao army began to eat the corpses, and the Qin army was stunned by the beast-like army.

Eating corpses to fight this battle, what are they for?

"Qin Army's Arrow Array! Ten thousand arrows! Wang Yi's hand dropped lightly and said, "Release the arrow." ”

Like a rain of locusts, arrows were shot out, and the snow was dyed red, and the sky was covered with snow, and a man and a horse fell to the ground, and the blood stained the snow red, and there was no sound.

"The covenant of the day, in the hope of breaking the enemy, the Qin army should not be able to go north. We have lived up to the Zhao country, the people, loyal to the country, what does it matter if we die! After Zhao Kuo finished speaking, he fell off the horse and lost his breath.

In the Zhao military camp, a general looked at Zhao Kuo's death and shouted in a trembling voice: "Lead General Zhao Kuo's life, Zhao army 200,000, surrender!" ”

The people of the Zhao army couldn't help but think of Zhao Kuo's last order before the expedition, if you can charge away, I personally ask my king for guilt, if I die in battle, you can surrender, all the faults are imposed on me, and my Zhao Guoerlang surrenders to Qin, and I can return to Zhao State.

After a period of crying, Zhao Jun surrendered, the army of 200,000 tigers and wolves, after Zhao Kuo's death, surrendered according to the number, no one resisted, the horse's hooves broke through the snow, and Bai Qi stood in front of Zhao Kuo's corpse, looking at Zhao Kuo, who had been shot into a hedgehog and not a human form.

Bai Qi squatted down, pulled out the arrows on Zhao Kuo's body one by one, and then let people bury Zhao Kuo, the dry air was uncomfortable, Bai Qi looked at the mound of dirt and said: "Xiaoyou is easy to walk all the way." ”

"It is difficult for the Qin army to go north, and if it continues to go north, it may be defeated." Wang Yi said helplessly.

"Why is that?" Bai Qi looked suspicious.

"Zhao Kuo has hit the 120,000 elites of my Great Qin!" Wang Yi said with a pained face.

"The Qin army will be defeated if it goes north!" Bai Qi looked at the sky, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Bai Qi seemed to see two figures standing on the top of the mountain in the distance, and Wang Qi also followed Bai Qi's gaze to find two people who had been watching the battle of Qin and Zhao, and Wang Qi immediately led people to surround him.

"Who's coming?" Wang Yi pointed his sword at the two figures and said.

"I've seen the master!" After Bai Qi arrived, he pushed Wang Yi away and saluted a white-haired young man among the two figures.

"Master?" Wang Yi and the other Qin soldiers were collectively stunned.

"You, you worshiped the name of Wu Qi back then, and changed your name to Bai Qi!" The young-looking old man looked at Bai Qi and smiled: "I still remember when I practiced martial arts for the teacher!" ”

"Bai Qi remembers, at that time, he asked Shizun what swordsmanship is and what is swordsmanship!"

"Do you remember now?"

"Disciple, remember that the sword is divided into nine realms, which are the entry sword, the sharp sword, the soft sword, the sword-making, the blunt sword, the heavy sword, the wooden sword, the heavenly sword, and the no sword."

"Oh!" After listening to Bai Qi's words, Wang Yi was immediately overjoyed, looked at the young old man with admiration, and secretly said in his heart: "This is the immortal master that Wu Anjun often mentions!" ”

There is no intention to enter the sword, learn to enter the way, and recruit and attack.

The sword is unintentional, fierce and indestructible.

The soft sword is impermanent, and the moves have been exerted to the extreme, without a trace, and without impermanence.

There is no weapon for making a sword, it is bizarre, it can be long or short, one is dangerous, and the pursuit of change is bizarre.

There is no clutter of the sword, there is no blade in the silk chase, and the heavy killing is less changeable.

The heavy sword has no edge, the great skill has no work, and a sword breaks it, breaking all the laws.

The wooden sword is invisible, not stagnant in things, plants, trees, bamboos and stones can be used as swords, flying flowers and picking leaves, all can hurt people.

The heavenly sword has no way, it has killed people, all things Zou dog, the big river and the stars, no sword and no moves, every move, heaven and earth have evolved, and man and sword are one!

After Wang Zheng finished speaking, Wang Di and many others felt that there was something full of nothing, a majestic sword intent? Invincible Kenshin?

"Disciple, it's about time for you to make a choice, think more!" As soon as the young-looking old man finished speaking, he looked into the distance and did not speak.
