There seems to be one more reason to win this war.

Zhao Kuo, who was born under the red flag and grew up in the new era, had never seen such a miserable scene.

Shock, anger, confusion and fear all hit his heart. It was only then that Zhao Kuo seemed to truly realize what kind of era he was in - it was the Warring States period when etiquette was broken and music was broken, and human life was regarded as nothing.

It’s an era where whoever has the lower limit and whoever is more shameless wins.

Since when has despicability become the pass for the despicable, and being noble can only become the epitaph of the noble?

Is it Zhang Yi's shamelessness? King Qin's untrustworthiness? Or is it Qin's use of all possible means?

In China, the beauty of uniforms and seals is called Hua; the great etiquette is called Xia.

The land of China should not be like this.

Even if we cannot achieve the world of great harmony in which "the old will die, the strong will be useful, the young will grow, the widowed, widowed, lonely, disabled, and sick will all be supported, men will have their share, and women will have their own home.", it should still be a world where "everyone is related to his own family,

"Each son is his own son, his goods and resources are his own, and he is regarded as a propriety in the world. The cities, ditches and ponds are regarded as solid, and etiquette and justice are regarded as disciplines." This is the so-called well-off society.

But it shouldn’t be a world where people cannibalize people.

Winning this war, allowing as many Zhao troops as possible to return home as soon as possible, and reducing the number of hungry people on this border has become an obsession in Zhao Kuo's mind. And with the formation of this obsession, a blueprint for the battle

It also gradually formed in Zhao Kuo's heart.

"Send the order!" Zhao Kuo said to the marching Sima beside him.

"Yes!" Xu Li immediately reined in the horse's head and replied.

"Command to the army: Anyone who sees bones will be buried on the spot, and a monument will be erected to say: The unknown person of the Zhao Kingdom died in the long-term battle of Changping." Zhao Kuo pointed to the white bones on the roadside and ordered slowly with a cold face.

"Yes!" Xu Li agreed immediately.

Burying the bones and erecting monuments was not only a greater respect and comfort for these people who died in vain, but also a means for Zhao Kuo to improve the morale of the army.

There is nothing more memorable than burying the bones in person, and the simple inscription declares to all the soldiers the meaning of this trip - to stop the battle of Changping, for the sake of the fathers and sisters behind them.

Sure enough, although the sergeants who took turns burying the bones looked sad and even complained a lot when they buried the bones and set up monuments, gradually, the sad look was replaced by coldness and solemnity, and their eyes looked towards the Changping battlefield in the distance.

In it, there is an extra layer of perseverance and determination.

Who has no father, who has no son?

As father and son, we should not bury our bones in the wilderness. In this battle, the Zhao army will win! Even if it costs their own lives. Countless Zhao soldiers made up their minds silently in their hearts.

Consciously or unconsciously, the steps under my feet were a little faster.

…

At about 3 o'clock on the third day, Zhao Kuo's troops, who had been traveling all night, arrived at Guguan City ahead of schedule.

"General!" At the gate of the city, Duping Juntian greeted Zhao Kuo's arrival with his hands clasped in fists.

As soon as the kite turned over, Zhao Kuo and his cavalry dismounted. The horse's reins flicked, and the soldiers around him caught it.

"Thank you, General Tian!" Zhao Kuoyi said with clasped fists in return.

"The general has traveled hard, so please rest in the city." After saying this, Tian Dan invited Zhao Kuo to the city.

Zhao Kuo was not polite and turned to Xu Li and said: "Settlement the troops."

"Yes!" Xu Li naturally agreed.

"Old General!" After Zhao Kuo ordered his men, he had no intention of entering the city to rest. He immediately said to Tian Dan: "There is no need to rest. The old general came two days ago. I think he already has an understanding of the Bailishi Defense Line. I will

Let’s inspect the city first, and the veteran general will accompany me.”

"Yes!" Tian Dan nodded in agreement, looking up at the son of his old friend, obviously quite satisfied with his vigorous and resolute style.

On top of the city, Tian Dan was half a step behind Zhao Kuo and walked towards him.

The ancient pass has long become a large military camp. Thousands of tents are arranged in rows and rows with the central tent as the center. During this period, soldiers patrolled continuously to ensure safety. The strictness of the military formation can be regarded as a model.

.

The tens of thousands of troops led by Xu Li almost only needed to move in step by step. Obviously, these were all due to the achievements of the old general Tian Dantian in the past two days.

"General Tian, ​​thank you for your hard work." Zhao Kuo praised with satisfaction when he saw such a strict and thoughtful arrangement.

"Serving the country is one of my duties, so I don't dare to talk about the hard work." Of course Tian Dan understood what Zhao Kuo was talking about, but as a veteran, he only responded humbly.

Being obedient and always being humble and polite, Zhao Kuo naturally understood Tian Dan's alienation in his words. After all, as a junior and a descendant of a political enemy, it was considered polite for him to respond like this.

Originally, Zhao Kuo was very satisfied. However, in Zhao Kuo's latest blueprint, Tian Dan was an indispensable part of it. Even if Zhao Kuo was not willing, he had to draw a little distance.

Zhao Kuo did not directly ask about the situation at Guguan and the Bailishi Great Wall defense line, but instead asked Tian Dan about his views on this battle.

"General Tian!" Zhao Kuo turned around, looked at Tian Dan with burning eyes, and said slowly: "I wonder what General Tian thinks of this battle?"

view?

Tian Dan rolled his eyes silently in his heart. How could he have any opinion? Anyone with a discerning eye would know that this was done knowingly that it was impossible to do. Only a stupid young man like you is willing to take a dip in this muddy water.

If I hadn't owed Mr. Pingyuan a great favor, I wouldn't have followed him to my hometown at all.

As if he could see Tian Dan's speechlessness, Zhao Kuo answered first without waiting for Tian Dan to reply.

"From what I can see, our army is still insufficient to defend the city. Your Majesty's forced attack is not only a helpless move due to lack of food, but also a way to defeat." Zhao Kuo sighed softly and turned his gaze to the distance outside the city.

Chu Danshui's line of defense said slowly.

"It doesn't look stupid." Tian Dan thought silently in his heart, but since he knew he would lose, why bother...

"Because if I don't come, Li Kuo and Wang Kuo will come here to replace General Lian Po and carry out the attack." Zhao Kuo seemed to have seen through Tian Dan's inner question again and answered without waiting for his question.

: "In this case, I might as well come in person, at least I can save some time."

With a calm smile, Zhao Kuo brought the topic back: "Unfortunately, General Tian is a native of Qi. It is impossible for King Zhao to hand over all his military power to the general, otherwise..."

"Even if I were to come in person, I would not be able to do better than General Lian Po." Seeing that Zhao Kuo had brought the topic to himself, Tian Dan quickly stopped.

"Yes!" Zhao Kuo sighed: "The Qin army is a tiger and wolf division. There are millions of armored men. It is not easy to defend, let alone attack!"

"But I, the Great Zhao, cannot afford to delay it! It's a pity that after this battle, I wonder how many young people will be left in the Zhao Kingdom?" Zhao Kuo continued to sigh.

While sighing, the two people's gazes, each thoughtful, immediately drifted to the green mountains and green waters in front of them.
