Chapter 26 Wushao Ridge
The whole chapter has not been changed
At the end of February, you can still see ice and snow in the mountains outside the border, and the Yellow River is still frozen. When crossing the Wushao Ridge, Xiong Jing actually walked down the stretcher and walked down the ground. Not everyone was just Jing Buji, but when Xiong Jing got off the stretcher and walked a little shakingly, all the Chu soldiers stood up in an instant.
The king is the king. Even though the king is skinny and shaky, the cannon guards still recognize that this is their Da Ao. Tears suddenly filled their eyes, and some people couldn't help crying when they looked at Xiong Jing and started crying loudly. Xiong Jing was stunned when he saw them crying. Wushao Ridge was steep, so he didn't want the cannon guards to work so hard.
"All soldiers are there!" On this steep mountain road, the cannon company commander shouted a command. "Let's stand up! Salute!"
One hundred and forty cannon soldiers seemed to be reviewing when they heard the sound. They immediately stood at attention, their right hand hammered their left chest, and their blood was boiling.
"Long live without a hurry!" The company commander yelled out Xiong Jing's current name loudly. Although the cannon soldiers were a little surprised, they shouted without hesitation: "Long live! Long live without a hurry!!"
The title has changed, but the momentum and rhythm of the shouting were exactly the same as when Xiong Jing was reviewing before. The artillery soldiers were all top students in elementary school, and they graduated after three years in the military academy. Their words and deeds were all standard military style. They originally thought that moving west was a cruel punishment than death, but from the moment they saw Xiong Jing, they seemed to have returned to Shouying and the Chu army camp.
One hundred and forty artillery soldiers shouted in excitement, but Xiong Jing was choking his throat. He didn't know what to say to these people, and didn't know how to give them hope. He could only try to touch them with his eyes, and then return the gift with a military salute, and said in the most firm tone: "The State of Chu will never perish!"
Xiong Jing originally wanted to give everyone hope, but the saying "The State of Chu will never perish" made everyone cry. The shouts of the cannon soldiers alarmed Neacas and Crimenides higher. When they turned and looked down, they happened to see all the Chu soldiers saluting like Xiong Jing.
"Chony..." Crimenides pointed at Xiong Jing who was walking downstairs and was surprised. He remembered that he once said that it would take several months for the wound to heal.
"Buji can walk, the Chunis are cheering for him." Sogdians shined, and he already knew who Buji was in the operation that day.
Neacas felt sharply that the two different people were lying on the flat side and the one standing on the flat side. The one who lay on the flat side looked dark and his heart was like a stagnant water, while the one who stood on the flat side was straight and sharp, calm and composed. "He is really like a king." He actually subconsciously told the truth.
"It's the Chuni noble, the real noble." Crimenides corrected. As soon as he saw Xiong Jing, he thought of his broken chest and rubies embedded in his sternum. He had a question in his mind: Xianyang told him that Dr. Chuni was dead, so what should I do with the rubies on his chest? Crimenides was a little distracted because of this question, but he quickly threw the question behind him, and he said, "Maybe we should talk to him."
"Talk?" Neacas was unknown.
"I'm very worried that they will rebel." Crimenides watched Xiong Jing slowly walk past the cannon guards who saluted him. Seeing the cannon guards' reverence for Xiong Jing, he became more and more worried.
"Rebellion?" Neacas was a little confused. "Why? The witch medicine used by Thunder weapons is no longer in their hands, they..."
"Those soldiers can die for him at any time!" Crimenides still stared at the cannon guards who saluted Xiong Jing. "If Buji was unwilling to go to Alexandria with us, then they would rebel and run away. If..."
"What if?" Neacas was just a civil servant in the simple sense and did not understand military affairs.
"If he promised to go to Alexandria, he would definitely fulfill his promise." Crimenides smiled. "He is a nobleman of Chuni and will keep his promise."
When he set off, Crimenides remembered that Buji was unconscious and he woke up only after he set off. The rest of the Chuni soldiers promised to accept employment from the Egyptian royal family and go to Alexandria to serve Ptolemy. Although Buji did not make any promises, he believed that dealing with noble people should be in the most legitimate way, and the most legitimate way was face-to-face negotiations.
Crossing Wushaoling, which is an altitude of 4,800 meters, is the Hexi Corridor. Before crossing, the delegation camped in Jinqiang Fort in Lingnan later generations. After crossing, they camped in Anyuan Post in Lingbei later generations. Before establishing the four counties of Hexi in the Han Dynasty, many post stations along the road were grasslands. Crossing the ridge was extremely tired, and it was even more exhausting to drag sixteen gates, more than 800 kilograms of cannons across the ridge. After dark, the delegation camped in the ridge. When the water in the iron pot was boiling, Sogdian news came to ask Xiong Jing to go to the main tent of the delegation.
"Report to the king, they want to use a plan..." Sogdian walked in and spoke before he spoke. As soon as he opened his mouth, he was shocked by everyone in the tent. Lu Yangyan and Quan Feng were so scared that they drew their swords.
"It's okay!" Xiong Jing forced himself to calm down and stopped the two people who drew their swords. He looked at the news carefully and only said to you.
Sogdian was on the side of the news, but he lowered his body and gave a crawling ceremony to Xiong Jing, then stood up and looked at Xiong Jing and said, "Don't pay homage to the king, the villain heard that the king had vowed to conquer the world outside the world in the past, and Mahadoule was the same."
The indignant words he said a long time ago, but unexpectedly, the Sogdians in the distance actually remembered, but now they were defeated and humiliated by benevolence. Xiong Jing couldn't help but feel mixed feelings. He looked at Yue Nu who looked up to him and said, "One day the Chu army came to Xizhou, and Mahadoule was the same!"
"Ahura Mazda! This is the messenger of light." Yuenumo couldn't help but pray in Sogdians. The Sogdians who had been ruled by the Greeks for a century have been praying that someone would drive the Baidi people away, but hope was in the east. Yuenumo sighed before getting up, and he said, "Mahadul asked the king to go to the mu, and forced him to make the king to the extreme west with his faith."
The word "Faith and Commitment" made Xiong Jing frown. Procedurally, since the Egyptians rescued the artillery soldiers, the artillery soldiers should keep their promises and go to Egypt to serve. This is the letter. But as far as the whole thing is concerned, this is obviously a sharing of spoils after the inland trading countries jointly defeated the Chu State. Egypt, which had the greatest efforts, was divided into twelve artillery and 120 artillery soldiers, while Baktria, who had the smaller efforts, was divided into four artillery and twenty artillery soldiers.
"How can you believe in the Bai Di people!" Lu Yangyan's sword was not sheathed, and he hated the Bai Di people who shot Xiong Jing to the core.
"If we don't have any faith with the Baidi people, how can we stay?" The more we fled westward, the more difficult it was. The Hexi Corridor was already an oasis, and we had to follow the oasis, and this was even more so after Loulan.
"The safety of Da Ao is related to the survival of Chu State, how can we stay here for this!" Quan Bi quickly reminded Xiong Jing when he saw that he was dragged down by artillery soldiers.
"The Chu State has a certain plan. If there is no plan, the court will decide it and return with a letter. If there is no Da Ao, there will be no Chu State?" Xiong Jing asked back. After thinking about it over and over the Wushaoling Mountains, he became more and more aware of what he was going to do. "The soldiers are all from Chu, how can they abandon them?"
"I heard that those who rule the rules and regulations cannot achieve fame, and those who hate the shame cannot achieve great merits..." Quan Bi couldn't help but persuade Xiong Jing when he saw that Xiong Jing was really unwilling to abandon the cannon soldiers and smuggle him, so he couldn't help but persuade him again.
Xiong Jing sighed and asked again: "How about the battle in the sand sea? In the battle in the sand sea, the generals and soldiers will win with our army, but the huge iron is frozen and the Qin people attacked me with copper spears, and our army was defeated. A gentleman should do his own things, but he is afraid of success or failure, so what's the use?"
The Battle of the Sand Sea is the darkness in everyone's heart. Xiong Jing bluntly stated that the Battle of the Sand Sea, including the two cannon company commanders, was solemn when he heard this. The will of the gods cannot be violated. The defeat of the Sand Sea, whether it is admitted or not, is the will of the gods.
"However, if you lose again..." Lu Yangyan said sadly.
"Victory and defeat are the meaning of Taiyi, and life and death are the meaning of the Grand Secretary's destiny." Xiong Jing said. "The Chu people can do their own things. However, if they lose again, it is not that I, Chu people are guilty and are disgusted by Taiyi, but that Chu people are guilty and disgusted by Taiyi, and there is always a whole story."
Using gods to explain the defeat of the Chu army is not a difficult thing for Xiong Jing. The victory of the Chu army was originally based on technology. Once there was a problem with technology, victory would become a bubble. The real Chu army is definitely not an opponent of the Qin army. The reason is that times have changed and war has also changed.
When the Qin army was "Ding Man was armored and Ding Nu transferred", the State of Chu still retained the military system of the Spring and Autumn Period. Although this military system was integrated with the new military system that was half-changed and half-unchanged after the Wu Qi reform, it was still far behind the Qin people, and even the Zhao people. This is why the Chu army was strong in the Spring and Autumn Period and was depressed in the Warring States Period.
There are only two reasons for the wrong answer: one is the wrong answer, and the other is the wrong question itself. In other words, this is the result of bad money chasing good fortune. A country that cannot bear the cruelty will be eliminated, and the most cruel country will eventually win - competition rules
