Bai Qi smiled: "Not really." He would definitely be happy to see that the Qin people were doing well. ”

Zhu Xiang continued to shake his head vigorously: "I believe that he will be happy that the Qin people are doing well, but I don't believe that he will be happy to see this scene." ”

Bai laughed and no longer explained.

He thought that he should know his benefactor better than Zhu Xiang.

When Bai Qi mentions King Qin Zhaoxiang now, the original depression, dissatisfaction, and fear in his heart have disappeared.

Maybe time can really dilute a lot of negative things.

Now when he thinks of King Qin Zhaoxiang, he only has gratitude and nostalgia for his benefactor in his heart.

Maybe he doesn't miss King Qin Zhaoxiang, but the high-spirited himself.

"White Weng! I bought you a copy too! Ying Xiaozheng held Cheng Chan in one hand and stirred the sugar with a malt in the other.

Zhu Xiang scolded with a smile: "Can your white father's teeth eat such sticky sugar!" You're making trouble! ”

Bai Qi smiled and said, "You can eat it." ”

Zhu Xiang immediately frowned and said, "Bai Gong, don't mess around, what should I do if I stick my teeth?" ”

Bai Qi said: "I have eaten maltose, as long as I hold it, don't chew it, it won't stick to my teeth." ”

He took the maltose handed over by Ying Xiaozheng, took a sip, and said, "It's much more delicious than what I used to eat." ”

Ying Xiaozheng smiled at Bai Qi, and then said to Zhu Xiang: "I don't have my uncle's share." ”

Zhu Xiang said: "Then I'll rob you!" ”

Li Mu handed Zhu Xiang a maltose, and gave Ying Xiaozheng another one: "Don't rob it." ”

Zhu Xiang was speechless: "I'm just joking with Zheng'er." ”

"Hmm." Li Mu himself also took a stick of maltose.

The maltose sold at the festival is stirred on a small wooden stick. Several people continued to walk with the crowd of celebrations, holding sticks.

"There are too many people, so we need to send more people to maintain order and prevent human traffickers."

"I've already sent someone. Today's overtime is three times the daily salary! The officials all grabbed their heads and wanted to come! ”

"Good look, you already know the right way to send people."

Xiao Chengcheng took out the maltose with his mouth sticky, and suddenly realized: "Uncle gave me snacks and asked me to do more questions, this is the right way to send me!" ”

Ying Xiaozheng: "......"

He gave his brother a look with mixed feelings.

Is this younger brother stupid or smart? He couldn't figure it out.

"Call that the right way to teach you." Zhu Xiangyi is strict in his words.

Xiao Cheng muttered: "It's a send." Hate math. ”

He stuck his mouth with maltose again, muttering and complaining in his heart.

Hate math. Dislike!

"Alright, eat your sugar." Ying Xiaozheng took Xiao Chengcheng and pointed to a person who sold animal wood carvings, "Do you want to buy it?" ”

Xiao Chengcheng nodded vigorously.

Ying Xiaozheng squeezed into the crowd again, and Li Mu hurriedly followed.

Zhu Xiang said to Bai Qi: "I think Zheng'er wants to buy it himself." ”

Bai Qi smiled and nodded.

Zhu Xiang smiled and sighed: "Zheng'er has grown up, but in fact, his hobbies are still so naïve. ”

Bai Qi said: "Don't let Zheng'er hear what you say, otherwise he won't buy it." ”

Zhu Xiang laughed so much that he almost choked on saliva.

……

The New Year began here in the Qin State, and the armies of the five countries were fighting.

Chapter 214: How do you know a thousand beautiful sentences

There was nothing to say about the battle between the Chuyan coalition army and the Wei, Han and Zhao coalition forces, and the fight was very perfunctory.

Wang Jian occupied the Dabie Mountain Pass, and the big cities on the north bank of the Yangtze River except for Guangling City have been abandoned, and the Chu State and the Southern Chu State are bounded by Huaishui, and the actual territory under their control is almost half.

But even so, the territory currently under the actual control of the king of Chu is the sum of Wei and Korea combined.

The behemoth of the State of Chu was cut a lot of flesh by the State of Qin, and he was divided by internal fighting, but his strength in the Warring States was still one of the best, but it changed from stabilizing the State of Zhao to competing with the State of Zhao for the old one.

Moreover, the Southern Chu State was still nominally a "vassal state" of the Chu State, and was not called the king. This time, the king of Chu sent troops, and the king of Southern Chu also sent troops.

After all, the king of Chu and the king of Southern Chu broke their bones and connected tendons, and the Southern Chu State only bordered the Chu State and the Qin State, knowing that if they wanted to gain a firm foothold in the Warring States, they must be in the same breath as the Chu State.

After all, the state of Qin has already raised the banner of unifying the world and becoming the co-lord of the world. King Han cried and begged so many times, but the Qin State did not agree to King Han's request to become a "prince" of the Qin State, clearly cutting off the position of the monarch of all the princes.

It didn't work to be a dog for the Qin State, so Southern Chu Jun naturally had to use his good interpersonal relationships in the Chu State to bribe a large number of Chu ministers, especially Li Yuan, the most trusted relative of the King of Chu, to re-establish his friendship with the Chu State.

Now the Southern Chu State and the Chu State are you and me, and you and I can't see that there has just been a war.

The nobles and kings of Chu were also very satisfied. In their opinion, the Southern Chu State is a larger "fiefdom" of the Chu State. In fact, the state of Chu was not divided into two countries, and everyone was still close to each other.

Therefore, if the king of Chu wants to fight, the "princes" of Southern Chu will naturally send troops to accompany him.

Both Wei and Zhao have some ability, and the Korean army is basically equal to no army; Although the Yan State is weak, it can also pull out some people who can fight, and the Chu State and the Southern Chu State cooperate tacitly. Therefore, the two sides are evenly matched, and they are basically confrontational.

Xiang Yan and Wei Wuji are both famous generals in the world, and it stands to reason that if they really fight, they should have some highlights.

But neither of them fulfilled their duties as commanders well, leaving the army generals in their own hands.

Xiang Yan actually wanted to make a big move, fight more land for the Chu State, and let the Xiang family return to the first echelon of the Chu nobility.

But Li Yuan wanted the greatest credit for this war, so Xiang Yan was nominally the main general, but in fact Li Yuan was in command, and the generals in key places were all Li Yuan's people.

Xiang Yan was weak, so he simply found an excuse to be sick and stayed in the rear directly, not going to the front line.

Wei Wuji is really slacking.

He was once the main general, one was rescuing the Zhou royal family to face the Qin State, and the other was fighting against Beihu in Yanmen County, all of which were meaningful battles.

This time as the main general, but it is extremely meaningless.

Defend the country? Conquer the city? It's nothing, that is, when the nobles have some tongues, they pull out a team of men and horses to fight, crackle and slash for a while, whoever shows the disadvantage begins to negotiate, and the winning side gets some small cities and compensation and retreats.

In fact, such battles were the norm during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Especially for most of the Spring and Autumn period, when the slightly larger countries fought wars.

This is the embodiment of "etiquette" and the "aristocratic spirit" in the mouth of the scholars, and they are very elegant in battle, and they will not completely blow the other party's face.

In the past, Wei Wuji felt that this kind of war was better than the war in which various countries conquered cities and territories, and it had to win or lose, and many people had to be killed or wounded.

Now Wei Wuji's mind has changed.

Unconsciously, Wei Wuji, the high-ranking son of Wei, no longer only pays attention to the king of Wei and the ministers of various countries. The number of battle losses he looks at is no longer a simple number, but corresponds to "people".

The Qin State launched the war in order to conquer the city and unify the world.

Whether it was because of the ambition of the King of Qin, or to end the troubled times in which the princes attacked each other, the Qin State fought a purposeful and meaningful battle.

Although he didn't like it, although he was angry and afraid, he knew that the soldiers of the Qin State knew what he was fighting for. In the eyes of the soldiers of the Qin State, this was not an inexplicable sacrifice.

When Wei Wuji was on the border of Yanmen County, he fought to defend against Beihu's southward advance.

Beihu is a group of barbarians who only know how to kill, burn and loot. If Beihu enters the Great Wall, all the villages and towns in its path will suffer disaster.

Of course, the soldiers on the border knew what they were fighting for. Every time he plays, it counts.

What now?

The king of Chu sent troops under the pretext of his drunken chatter and involved all countries one after another.

Does it make sense?

Am I wrong? Even if you're wrong, isn't it too absurd for you to fight for a war of tongues?

Well, Wei Wuji looked at the nobles around him, as if they all took it for granted.

The humiliation of the king of Chu means that the state of Chu is humiliated. The state of Chu was humiliated, of course it had to send troops.

No problem. What's the problem?

Wei Wuji's sanity told him that it was fine.

But even in a passive confrontation, the two armies suffered casualties every day.

In a day or two, dozens, hundreds, thousands, of the soldiers fell one by one in the tentative attacks.

The nobles and soldiers in the army felt that there was no battle damage, and they felt that there was no fighting. Because of such a fierce battle, even the middle-level generals would not go to the front line in person, but only commanded some soldiers to rush forward and kill, and after a while, they would withdraw their troops.

Wei Wuji stayed in the frontier for so long, lived and ate with the soldiers, and when the mood came, he would "catch" a few strong men at will, drink and talk happily, and mix like a fish in water in the barracks.

He is a person who only looks at whether he gets along with friends and does not look at his status.

Among his disciples were many common people, including dog slaughterers, gatekeepers, and even farmers. If Zhu Xiang was not in Handan but in Daliang, it is estimated that he would have personally invited him to his home to become a guest.

Therefore, Wei Wuji's close relationship with ordinary soldiers in the army is a matter of course after the two parties have been together for a long time.

When Wei Wuji regarded the ordinary soldiers of Yanmen County as "people" and lowered his gaze, he saw the soldiers in the two armies and regarded the ordinary soldiers as people.

Tzu is not in charge of the army. Wei Wuji was not an indecisive person when he led his troops into battle. He didn't even care about his own life, and often personally led his troops to the front, and of course he would not be "stingy" with casualties.

"But do the casualties really make sense this time?" Wei Wuji was so drunk in the big tent that he couldn't speak clearly, "Does it make sense?" For the sake of the king's momentary anger, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and men were requisitioned, countless grains were levied, the fields were barren, the peasants starved to death, and the soldiers died worthless in battles without strategic goals. ”

"Ah, worthless, worthless!" Wei Wuji's hand slipped, and the wine soaked his clothes.

He looked at the wine on his body and said, "In the army, alcohol should be forbidden." Although I would drink in Yanmen County, it was also during the armistice. Now why can I drink unscrupulously. ”

"Listen, what's that sound, is it a banquet?" Wei Wuji shook his head and opened his drunken eyes wide, "They're having a banquet?" ”

Zhu Hai, who was guarding Wei Wuji's side, sighed and said, "Master Father, during the Chinese New Year today, all the nobles also invited Lord Father to the banquet, but Lord Father refused. ”
