Chapter 96: Gold and Iron Horses Ding the Central Plains
In the twenty-sixth year after the death of King Chu, the Chu army conquered Yangdi and Han was destroyed.
In August of the same year, the Chu army captured Linzi and Qi was destroyed.
At the same time, outside the Wei capital Daliang, the Chu army had been attacking for several days.
This city became more famous in later generations, and was the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, Kaifeng Mansion. At this time, it was also one of the strongest cities in the world.
In history, Qin destroyed Han and Zhao and captured the capital of Yan. After a long period of cannibalization tactics, it was very difficult to attack Daliang City. In the end, it was able to destroy Daliang City and flood Daliang City, destroying the city and destroying Wei.
Although the state of Wei is now in decline, the centipede is still alive. The former overlord of the Central Plains has unleashed its final strength under the threat of national subjugation.
The trees in front of Daliang City have long been cut down. As far as the eye can see, there is a bare mountain wall everywhere. A low wall is built in front of the huge city wall, sprinkled with tribulus, and various traps are made to protect the city foundation to prevent the car from running into the city.
The door was built by the Mohists, and it took dozens of soldiers to push it open. It was nearly half a foot thick, and even if it was smashed with a siege hammer, it would be difficult to damage it unless it was hit thousands of times.
After the city wall, there is also a higher inner city wall, a female wall used to protect archers, a tall command tower and a shooting tower.
"Fire the arrow!"
At this time, under the loud shouts of General Wei, locusts flew like rain, flying wildly.
The Tenglong Legion of the Xiang clan raised their shields, minimized the gap, and rushed forward with flying strides.
Soldiers fell one after another, and more soldiers rushed to kill them.
Some of them are veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles, while others are new recruits who have just joined in, ambitious and eager to make achievements.
However, at this moment, they both became victims of this heroic battle.
Bloody light shot into the sky, stirring up the most tragic brilliance of life.
"It shouldn't be! It shouldn't be!"
Xiang Yan looked at it, her eyes full of regret and bitterness.
The Tenglong Legion has always been the ace army of the Xiang clan and even Da Chu.
If there is a war with Qin, he will never say anything, even if it means one life for another.
But fighting to the death with the Wei people, and the death of these sons and gentlemen, is really not worth it.
"General! The last general requests to go to war!"
At this moment, Xiang Boce stepped forward and asked to fight.
Xiang Yan looked at her younger son who was much more mature and said with emotion: "Go!"
"yes!"
Xiang Bo held the giant ax in his hand and danced with great force, splitting the heaven and earth with force and rushing away.
This bloody battle lasted for ten days.
When Daliang was finally defeated, the Tenglong Army suffered 30,000 casualties, and the ordinary Chu soldiers suffered more than 50,000 casualties.
After breaking into the palace, King Wei led hundreds of officials to ask for surrender, and Xiang Yan was ready to accept it. However, at this moment, the supervisor specially sent by King Chu stood up: "Wait a minute, please King Wei hand over the secret box of the Canglong Qisu inheritance.
Only then can you please surrender."
There are so many blue flies in Chu State that the white jade in the entire city has been slandered.
There is no shortage of slanderous ministers in any dynasty. The arrogant and arrogant behavior of the King of Chu certainly disappointed the older generation of ministers and also led to the rise of a group of sycophants.
This person came with a secret order. Obviously, although the King of Chu ordered Xiang Yan to go to war, he could not trust him at all. Once the city was breached, he would snatch the fruits of victory.
Xiang Yan didn't care about the credit for destroying the country, but he also looked at King Wei, waiting for an answer.
The legend of Canglong Qisu is well known to the senior officials of the Seven Kingdoms. The rise of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period are all related to it.
Although he was disappointed with the King of Chu, deep down in his heart, he also had some extravagant hopes. If he could really obtain the Canglong Qisu inheritance of the Three Kingdoms this time and increase the power of the King of Chu, he might really be able to defeat Qiang Qin.
By that time, all the crazy actions before had turned into farsightedness.
The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit!
But as soon as King Wei's answer came out, Xiang Yan suddenly changed his expression: "The Secret Box of Canglong Qisu was brought into the Kingdom of Zhao by Lord Xinling long ago and is hidden in Handan City!"
…
…
“The farmland is well-deserved!”
Gu Cheng stood on the hillside, looking at the fields in the distance and the plump wheat ears, and praised them.
"Thanks to my father, uncle and their efforts."
Tian Yan behind him smiled.
Gu Cheng thought it was funny that Tian Meng and Tian Hu had been arranged by her to farm outside the Great Wall. Although he lived up to the name of a farmer, the style of painting was completely wrong.
But having said that, the farmer adheres to the teachings of Shennong and possesses unique knowledge. He indeed has extraordinary achievements in digging wasteland and planting grains.
Without them, even if the Zhao army had Chun Shenjun's food and grass support, they would have starved to death long ago if they sown seeds and slashed and burned.
In this era, the yield per mu was very low, with only about two stones per acre. There were no chemical fertilizers or pesticides, and the farming techniques were crude, so the harvest was naturally poor.
But with the help of farmers, towns and villages have developed in the now desolate area outside the Great Wall.
Of course, this place will no longer be outside the Great Wall soon.
What is outside the Great Wall?
To put it bluntly, beyond the Great Wall is beyond the Great Wall.
But now the Great Wall has not been officially connected into one piece. It is divided into one section in the east and one section in the west, which cannot be planned.
Many people think that the Great Wall was built by Qin Shihuang, but this is not entirely true. The Great Wall has been in existence since the Western Zhou Dynasty. Especially in the Spring and Autumn Period, when various countries conquered each other, they rested for many years.
But it was not until Qin Shihuang that he connected and repaired the Great Wall left over from the Warring States Period, and then built a large number of walls, barriers, pavilions, and signs with the city wall as the main body, forming a complete defense system, which was called the Great Wall.
From that time on, the Huns had been defeated for more than 700 miles. The Hu people did not dare to go south to herd horses, and the scholars did not dare to bend their bows and complained. Later, all dynasties in the Central Plains relied on the Great Wall to defend against the nomadic peoples on the grasslands.
But in Gu Cheng's view, it was conservative to use the Yanzhao Great Wall as the boundary. He was more satisfied with the outer Great Wall later built by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Therefore, the territory that Zhao Jun currently occupies still belongs to the territory of the Central Plains, and the wasteland that has been reclaimed through hard work in the past few years is the land of Da Qin.
"Where's Li Mu?"
"Over there!"
Li Mu is much older, with white hair all over his head. He is cutting wheat with a sickle, just like an old farmer working hard in the fields. How can he still have the majesty of the Wu'an monarch who was victorious in all battles in the past?
But when Gu Cheng came to him, Li Mu slowly straightened up, but his expression was calm, as he had expected: "You are finally here."
Gu Cheng smiled slightly: "Yes, the time has come for the world to be unified."
Li Mu was silent for a while: "How is the king?"
"Zhao Yan is living well."
Gu Cheng clapped his hands and Tian Yan handed over the battle report: "However, the Chu army was very aggressive. After capturing Wei and Han, they gathered at the border and were obviously preparing to invade the northern counties of our country. The old general guarded the outside of the fortress and defeated the Xiongnu. He has worked hard and achieved great results. He can lead the army.
Back to the Central Plains."
Li Mu unfolded the battle report and read it carefully.
At this time, soldiers who were busy farming had already gathered one after another.
They were no longer Zhao people, but were divided according to region and became people from Yanmen County of the Qin Dynasty.
Li Mu gathered up the battle report and looked at Han Fei inexplicably.
The two people's eyes moved, tears flowed from the corners of their eyes, but there was a look of relief on their brows.
The next moment, Li Mu knelt down and saluted with a military salute: "I obey!"
Wang Jian’s field battle! Li Mu’s cavalry!
The Central Plains will be secured with gold and iron!
