Chapter 56 Ten Years
Wang Jian was not worried about Zhao Zhenghui's furiousness. Zhao Zheng and his mother Zhao Ji, who were born in Handan, suffered a lot in the palace. In Zhao State, there were so many people and were deserted, they often only overnight. The commission to Zhao State means that they would bow to Zhao State, and the hostage often abandoned their sons in this era. Zhao Zheng and Zhao Concubine were low in the palace in Handan, and it was normal to be bullied. In addition to strategic considerations, Zhao Zheng did take revenge.
The Zhao people broke through the siege and the Chu army responded, and the Chu-Zhao coalition forces worked together to repel the Qin army that was several times more powerful than them. In the Qutai Palace, Zhao Zheng was already furious before he saw Wang Jian's apology.
"How did Wang Jian be a general? How did Wang Jian be a general?!" Zhao Zheng completely forgot the joy of victory in the Battle of Anyang. Although there was not much beheading of that victory, he could only say it was a repulsion, which made him talk about for a long time.
"King, our army hastily formed a formation, so it was defeated." Wei Liao explained. Wang Ao reported the entire battle faster. "King Jing led the iron cavalry to seriously injure Wang Jian and seized my flag, so he retreated. It was a death match, but fortunately the cavalry had sacrificed their lives to protect each other, and the army slowly retreated to the north of the Wushui River. If our army also had it during the Weinan War..."
The Qin army in Weinan was in full swing, and more than 300,000 were captured, which was the biggest loss after the Battle of Changping of Qin. When Zhao Zheng mentioned this battle, his forehead was leaping. 'King of Qin Zhao Zheng, did you forget the humiliation of the people of Jing...', the question that he heard at least four times a day sounded in his ears again. He tried his best to resist the grief and anger in his heart, and Zhao Zheng asked: "What should the National Guard think?"
"Wang Jian defeated the people of Zhao and killed Yan Ju; he defeated the army of Chu and Qi, and killed Xiang Yan. This is a general who is good at fighting." Wei Liao recalled Wang Jian's achievements and reminded Zhao Zheng. "Since his injuries can be healed, he should not change the generals and still ordered him to fight in Zhao. The people of Jing have always marched on the water. Next month, the river is frozen, and the people of Jing can only retreat to Henan. I should get all the territory of Zhao."
"However, Wang Jian was recommended by Xiong Qi," Zhao Zheng's face was still gloomy. He did not take back Wang Jian's military power, not because the Tingwei Mansion and the Guowei Mansion did not have any evidence of Wang Jian's friendship with Xiong Qi, but because Wang Jian had just defeated the Chu army and shot Xiang Yan. It was suddenly taken down, which was inconsistent with domestic propaganda. In order to inspire people's morale, Qin State specially made a big fuss for the Battle of Anyang.
"Wang Jian is a Qin man." The more dangerous the Qin State was, the more righteous the National Guard Wei Liao spoke. "Before Xiong Qi recommended Wang Jian, there were countless such generals in the Qin army. The prime minister recommended him, and Wang Jian must regard him as his parents. What is wrong with this? The king should treat him with kindness and use it for his own use, rather than treating all useful talents as a spy from the Jing people."
"I know." Zhao Zheng was silent for a moment and bowed deeply to Wei Liao. "What should Wei Qing think the army in Zhao?"
Wei Liao knew that Zhao Zhenghui accepted advice. He used to be unwilling to be with the King of Chu and wanted to compete with the King of Chu. Now he hated everything about Chu. Even if he missed the Chu State a little, he would destroy it. This was obviously not an IQ issue, but a personality issue.
Only those who are born with inferiority and are often bullied will have this situation: they want to show themselves everywhere, even if they pay the price, because they are only afraid of being underestimated; once they are hurt, they will become extremely angry. If this anger cannot (or dare not) be vented on the bully, they will be vented on other people who are related to this or have nothing to do with it.
Wei Liao was a student from Guigu, and inadvertently grasped Zhao Zheng's character. Seeing that Zhao Zheng asked him for advice, he was not humble and said directly: "The army in Zhao still regarded Wang Jian as the general, and Wu rushed to lead the cavalry to guard the army to retreat. He should reward him for his contributions. After King Jing retreated, the king should summon him to Xianyang and drink with the king."
"Drinking with me?" Zhao Zheng was stunned. There were ten days in the sky, and there were ten levels in the people, and both were waiting for outsiders.
"Huo abandoned Jing and entered our Qin State, and was good at fighting cavalry. If the cavalry had not fought to protect each other, this battle would be like the battle in Weinan." Wei Liao explained. "I think Qin horses are indeed not as good as Jing's dragon horses, but Qin cavalry can repel the Iron Cavalry of Jing people. In the future, the cavalry will surely make me stand invincible."
Wei Liao thought of something very far away. Qin State was in an orderly manner under his arrangement. The whole process was like catching fish in a pond. The fish was slippery and could not be caught at all. However, if all the water in the pond was drained and there was only a small puddle, the fish could not escape. Destroying Zhao, destroying Qi, and attacking Chu in the whole line were all part of this strategy.
It doesn't matter if the Zhao people in Handan moved south, but the Qian heads of the county and towns of Zhao State were not moved away. As for Hanzhong and Bashu, how Chu State promised, Qin State doubled its promise. In the future, Ba, Shu State, Zhu State..., since it can restore the country, it can destroy the country, whether it is restored or destroyed, it all depends on the situation. Once Chu State is defeated, it will be easy to deal with these small countries.
In the capital of Qin Xianyang, Shen denounced Wang Jian's order from Qutai Palace. The words above were not painful, there was no excessive blame or excessive comfort. However, the meaning was very clear. The entire Qin army in Zhao, including the soldiers of Taiyuan County and county west of Taihang Mountain, were still under the command of Wang Jian;
It started snowing in Zhao Guochang City before October. The Zhao people with family and were covered in vegetables, and they were covered in food. They were climbing the boat while crying. After the boatman behind the boat shouted, the slingers began to row, and the ragged people started crying in unison.
Even animals have feelings for their birthplace. The Zhao people on the boat cried, and the Zhao people on the shore cried. The Chu army, who maintained order, was accustomed to this, and they were still cautious and wary of someone diving to seek death. However, this time the crying stopped as several king boats docked.
That day, the Qin army withdrew its troops before dawn. The Chu and Zhao army chased after two days. The Qin army had cavalry and abandoned all the supplies, but they ran away. Originally, the Chu and Zhao army wanted to continue pursuing and pursued to Jingxing, but in practice, they found that the Chu army was still the most troublesome to advance along the Yellow River tributary to the north, and the Zhao people were transported away in this way. So Xiong Jing ordered the Chu army to retreat to Handan and sail to the north.
The Chu army retreated immediately after the frozen army, and only agreed to give up the northern city of Daliang. They did not agree to lead the army to restore Zhao next year. Linghui could only order the Zhao people to move south. However, the migration to the south was not a one-time migration. The common people near Handan first boarded the boat and transported it to Daliang. She, Zhao Qian and the ministers of Zhao, still stayed in Handan, waiting for the boat to return to Daliang.
In addition to gathering in Handan, the rest went north to search for the common people of Zhao on both sides of the river. After the boats returned, they would also transport them to Daliang. When will the river be frozen? How many times can the boats be returned? No one knows. In short, now we are trying every means to transport people. Those who are willing to leave and those who are unwilling to leave will be boarded by the king's order.
Lu Zuo, who has no body and is not hungry for one person, does not hesitate. Lu You, who has family and family, feels as sad as his father after he dies, and some families even flee overnight. If he cannot die and is too sad and angry when he boards the boat, he will dive into the water and commit suicide.
Wang Zhou slowly stopped at Changcheng Wharf. Xiong Jing on Wang Zhou heard the cry of the people of Zhao. He also knew why these Zhao people cried. However, he liked to hear the cry of the people of Zhao. Crying means reluctance. Reluctance may be because of land, but more because of feelings. Zhao people who are attached to the countryside are good Zhao people. Those who heard that they were busy boarding the boat with no worries when they went to Daliang to eat and wear food and clothing were really not suitable for moving south.
"The Zhao people miss their homesickness." Mu Ling also looked at the Zhao people who stopped crying in a daze. Because the common people were allowed to look around, these a little numb Zhao people looked at Xiong Jing in Wei Ban suit on Wang Zhou, and also at Mu Ling and others beside Xiong Jing.
"I just hope that all Zhao people miss their homesickness." Xiong Jing said. This was the first time he had looked at the common people of Zhao so close. The Zhao people were generally taller than the Chu people. The average height of the soldiers in Ying was 1.64 meters tall, which was a result of selection. A small number of women in Zhao could also reach this height, while men generally exceeded this height.
However, among the people of Zhao who boarded the boat, there were few men from Fu, and even if there were some, they were mostly disabled. The cities in charge of the Zhao army were usually driven out of the boat; and the cities in charge of the Chu army, as long as they thought it was a wound of war, they would be issued a stolen plan and allowed to board the boat.
There were more children under five feet on the boat. These children carried their families' clothes, corn, beans and wheat, some carried dustpans and hoes, and pulled oxen or several black pigs in their hands. Some younger boys simply sat on the back of the cow, with their dirty faces and eyes bright. Unlike their mothers who dared not look up, they stared blankly at Wang Zhou who passed by not far away.
Thinking that Wang Zhou was not good-looking, they turned to bow their heads and fiddled with the canned tins on their hands again. The canned food is military rations, and they need to transport household items, livestock, and oxen. The boats are filled with people, so it is impossible to cook, so they can only distribute various canned meat and cakes.
"Cans are hard to open." Following Xiong Jing's gaze, Mu Ling also saw the boy on the cow's back trying to open the can in his hand. Even if he had no tools, he could not open such an iron tool that he had made.
"There is no man in Zhao?" Xiong Jing no longer stared at the boy on the cow's back. He glanced at the few boats, but he didn't see a qualified man who could be a soldier.
"There is indeed a man from Zhao. "Mu Ling stayed in Zhao for several years with Wu Guanzi. The students in the school came from all over Zhao and knew more about the situation in Zhao than ordinary people. "The king moved to Zhao people in Daliang for ten years, and he could not restore Zhao."
"Ten years?" Xiong Jing looked back at the boy on the cow's back. His can had been handed over to a woman, who should be his mother. The boy was only five or six years old. With Zhao's physique, he could indeed wear armor for ten years.
"Will the Qin State fall into pieces ten years later?" Mu Ling asked a question he had always wanted to ask. He had asked this question for Feng Guanzi, but Feng Guanzi smiled but said nothing.
