Zhao Zhengxing was facing Fengshui and Xiong Jing was still waiting in the north of Xianyang City. If he wanted to explode the Xianyang City, which was twenty-six meters thick, he had to dig at least ten feet from the base of the city. Originally, it was best to dig from the city gate, but it was newly filled soil, but the ink man on the top of the city kept pouring fish oil into the city gate through the gap of the hanging gate. If the engineer chose this position, his life would not be guaranteed.

When the gunpowder arrived, the engineers only carved about three meters away, turned down from the rammed earth, dug out a few bones buried under the city wall, and entered the soft mud under the city wall, so that the progress was really accelerated. Even so, it would probably take until night to dig to the right position.

When the Chu army was digging the city, the Mo people in the city naturally knew that after determining the location, the city also began to dig back. Using tunnels to the tunnels is considered a daily routine for siege battles. However, this time the Chu army was going to dig out the tunnels and buried gunpowder for blasting, while the Mo people wanted to destroy the Chu army's blasting.

"Xiang Bo will fight with Wang Jian tomorrow?" Xiong Jing, who had settled Mi Qian, returned to the tent and saw many news and texts brought from the shogunate.

"Yes." Dou Yuzhi and Dongyegu came here in person. Weinan had nothing to do except hunting the King of Qin. "The king of Jinshe went south to Handan to prevent our army from fighting against the Zhao people."

In the hard city of Handan, Wang Jian only sieges Handan rather than attacks. The Chu army attacked Nanjun, then Nanyang, Shangyu, and finally attacked Guanzhong. He heard that the Zhao people who were pulled out of Xianyang were shaking their clothes and slammed the crown, and everyone was excited. Zhao State was indeed about to perish, but Qin State was already perished. In this case, it was difficult to pull out Handan. Even if it was pulled out, the Qin army would suffer heavy casualties. Once Yinglun generals and soldiers were ineffective, they would be guilty. Unless there was a king's order, whoever would like to fight would fight, Xiang Yan led his army to rescue him, and Wang Jian would naturally leave Handan to go south.

"How many Qin troops are? Did the Zhao people leave Handan?" Xiong Jing asked again. He hoped that the Zhao army could also leave the city, otherwise the enemy and us would have a huge gap in strength.

"Wang Jian only led 200,000 people south, and 100,000 people stayed outside Handan City." Nao Xin reported.

"Only 200,000?" Xiong Jing was surprised, and after being surprised, he was cautious again. Wang Jian was cunning and not so easy to deal with.

"Our army is 240,000, and the Qin army is 200,000. This battle..." Dou Yuzhi looked at Zhuang Wudi. He had more troops but few enemies, but the combat power of the Qi army was a headache. The battle in Linzi was just a killing Housheng, and the royal power was divided into Yu Zhengchao. The common people were still common people, and there was no change.

"There are twenty artillery pieces in Xiang Bo's army. The two armies fought in formation and fired the artillery before they fought, which was afraid of the Qin people." Zhuang Wudi said. He also knew that the Qi people might not be reliable, but it was not the kind that Li Qi thought, but it was because he was worried about the combat effectiveness of the Qi army and was worried about the formation being collapsed. "Even if he couldn't win, he should not be defeated." He concluded.

"The king cunning and the Qi people are uncertain. Don't be cautious." Some things are tacit, and Xiong Jing can only warn this way. He turned to another thing, "What should I do if I capture more than 300,000 Qin soldiers?"

"Please give me all the pit!" Dou Yuzhi said, "The army does not have much food and fodder, what if I don't kill me? If I allow it, I will attack me for the Qin soldiers in the future."

"No!" Zhuang Wudi, Dongye Gu Yi spoke in unison, Dongye Gu said, "This is unkind. God has the virtue of being a virtuous person, and people have compassion. The violent Qin Dynasty is violent, killing Yingye, and beheading Yingcheng. If I can all surrender, what is the difference between me and the Qin people?"

"The Qin people are not humans!" Dou Yuzhi glared at Dongyegu. "Repay grievances with righteousness and virtue. If you do not trap all the surrendered soldiers and persuade them, they will be Qin soldiers again in the future. King, Qin is the enemy country, how can you do benevolence and righteousness?"

"Why are Qin people not human?" Dongye Gu opposed the view of fighting against zhi. "Qin people are also humans. If the king surrenders all the soldiers, the sky will be angry, which is unlucky. When people in the world hear this, they should regard our Chu State as a violent Chu."

The fierce debate between Dou Yuzhi and Dongyegu was like Cheng Jie and Xiang Yan. Xiong Jing's face was uncertain - it was like learning to walk on Handan. He had forgotten how to act as a commoner, but he didn't know how to be a real king.

In the pre-Qin period, "ritual" was summarized by Confucius later. In fact, before Confucius, the emperors and princes did not act completely according to "ritual", and had many randomness. Therefore, Confucius retained examples that matched his own thoughts, and abandoned those that did not match his own thoughts, and did not make rigorous and complete arguments, which became "ritual". Later kings all had to follow the "ritual" summarized by Confucius.

This routine was plagiarized by Mencius and the Mohist school. Mencius argued that even without any argument, he believed that "the three generations of people gained the world with benevolence, and the loss of the world with unkindness." He also warned the people of the world with righteous words: "The emperor is not kind, and he will not protect the world with no protection; the princes are not kind, and the country is not protected; the officials are not kind, and the ancestral temple is not protected; the scholars and commoners are not kind, and they will not protect the four bodies"; finally he emphasized: "The benevolent people are invincible in the world, and even the benevolent and the most unkind, but how can blood flow? (There is no blood flow. It means that the war will end smoothly in three or two times, because the benevolent people are invincible in the world.)'

By the end of the Warring States Period, conservatism, retroism, world-avoidance, Huang Zuo's thoughts, absolute monarchism..., remarks full of these ideas spread throughout the world and unknowingly immersed in people's thoughts. Chu and Lu were backward areas, and even so, the words and deeds of people were still influenced by the remarks of the world. Among these remarks, even conservatives like Confucius had to be widely accepted by disciples, traveling around the countries, compromising and worldly manners in order to make a living.

Read thoughts from language, peek at the society produced by such thoughts from thoughts, and then compare the actual evolution of society at that time to judge which thoughts are desirable and those thoughts are not desirable. Perfect court education allowed Xiong Jing to be freed from the low-simple success, king, defeat, bandits and conspiracy theories, and rise to a dimension that the common people cannot reach and do not need to reach. However, the lack of experience made him unable to accurately judge the thoughts on the bamboo slips and identify the advice of his ministers.

In a daze, he could no longer hear the debate between Dou Yuzhi and Dongye Gu. Their voices were dull and they quarreled hard between killing Yu or not. Only when Zhuang Wudi's voice sounded, he came to his senses.

"I think you can not kill him, just kill him!" Zhuang Wudi came up with another clever idea that suited his identity as a counselor. "In this way, no one in the world said that the king was unkind, and even if the surrendered soldiers were no longer in trouble."

Cutting the left toe does not mean standing and cutting off the left toe. Cutting the left toe means cutting off the entire left foot. Of course, a person who lacks the left foot cannot be summoned to become a Qin soldiers. Moreover, because it is difficult to work without the left foot, it will consume the Qin corn. A very smart way.

"Is that okay?" Xiong Jing came back from his confusion, hoping that this idea would work.

"This is not possible," Dongye Gu said. "The Qin people either farm or fight. If they kill the left toy, they will not be able to become a terror. How can they eat if they do not become a terror? This is not kind."

"King, it's better to cut the left toe than toe. If you cut the left toe, the person will definitely be very me." Dou Yuzhi didn't like this idea of ​​compromise.

"So what if I hate me?" Zhuang Wudi said. "If you cut off your left toe, you should not be a soldier or a husband anymore, and you will be harmless. Otherwise, you will be tyrannical if you pit them all. If you insist on them knowing my kindness and not attacking Chu anymore, you will be foolish."

"This matter..." Xiong Jing was still confused, "This matter is left to Zhu Ao Zhengchao to discuss."

Xiong Jing pushed the problem to Zhu Ao Zhengchao, and fought at the chewy to speak but stopped. Dongye Gu sighed, "More than 300,000 people were killed by the left toe, which is a violent situation."

"Then I will be able to make a decision!" Xiong Jing, who was unable to make a decision, was displeased and said angrily. He mentioned the last important matter, "Li Xin led his army eastward, and he would attack Chu without attacking Wei. At this time, the country was empty, what's the point?"

"Li Xin went east to save Qin. He went from Xianyang to Nanyang Shundan River and arrived in seven days." Dou Yuzhi said. "I would like to lead the teacher to go first to save Chengyang."

"Meng Tian, ​​Yang Duanhe's army has not yet collapsed. I think our army cannot retreat." Zhuang Wudi said. "However, if you can search for the King of Qin..."

"Where is Zhao Zheng?" Yesterday, last night, and this morning, there was a lot of news about Zhao Zheng, but no one was caught.

"It is east of Fengshui." Zhuang Wudi said. "Last night, more than a thousand people wanted to cross the Fengshui and were defeated by our army. All of them were guards from Qin. After consultation, they found out that they were the King of Qin. I have ordered each division to strictly guard and search, and I will definitely get the King of Qin. However, the Mo family..."

As soon as the sky was dawn, news from each division, brigade and soldiers came to the shogunate, and the shogunate moved here again. Zhuang Wudi was a little worried about Fusu in Xianyang City. If Fusu was made King of Qin by the Mo family, it would be very unfavorable to Chu.

"Xianyang will be broken!" When I mentioned the Mo family Xiong Jing, I was furious, but the Xianyang city walls were high and thick, and it would not be broken in a short time.

*

The Fengshui River in June is extremely wide, with egrets flying above it, and the feeling of the water and sky being the same color almost makes people forget that they are in the war. The boatman who paddled the boat has never heard the Chu songs sung by Jing Hua, and learned a few words to sing them without a teacher.

The boatmen should also be Chu people. The Chu army blocked the Fengshui line. Yesterday, the Qin army's boat troops upstream of the Wei River were wiped out. The Chu soldiers who occupied the Fengshui Ferry used the boats and oars to transport military rations. Jing Hua and others originally wanted to cross the Fengshui River, but when they saw the Chu archers on the shore, they had to give up this attempt. The four of them went south to the ferry and were then summoned by the understaffed boatmen to board the boat.

In addition to the embarrassing grain, there are also cans of tin cans in the boat. This is something that no one has seen before. Fortunately, Xia Yang accurately stated that this is a can of tin can, and everyone was not exposed. After the Chu song, the boatman asked with a smile: "Are you all from Yingdu?"

Jing Hua tattooed his face, and the boatman despised him. Xia Yang looked like a scholar, Zhao Zheng looked like a seated servant, and Qi Brown looked like a servant. The young boatman only talked to Xia Yang and Zhao Zheng.

"Of course...yes." Zhao Zheng was a little confused, but fortunately, Chu's standard.

"We are in Yingdu, Tongli, but why can't we be a soldier?" Xia Yang was deeply regretful. "I am weak and my lungs are more powerful than fourteen liters." Xia Yang looked at Zhao Zheng, "My brother has hidden illness; he is too stupid and does not know the right and left; he is guilty..."
