“You are not respected by temples in your own country, but you have stone statues standing in other countries.”
"In that battle, Qin will win!"
That battle!
It is rare for the generals of the Zhao Kingdom to go to fight against the Qin State but have different intentions.
How can we win?
Pushing forward a few decades, during the Battle of Changping, the king and ministers of the Zhao Kingdom were united. Even if the Qin army crossed the Eighth Route of Taihang, passed Wuyang, and arrived at Handan City, what would happen?
Despite strong persistence, the Qin army was driven out.
Hearing Tian Ming's words again, he sighed deeply, the general situation of the Qin Kingdom was really due to the right time, favorable geographical location, and good people.
"Sir, do you still feel sorry for Zhao Guo?"
Tianming couldn't help but smile.
My husband once said before that he didn't care about the fall of Zhao State, but...does he really not care? After all, he still cares.
"It's a pity...it's not a pity."
"The laws of heaven are constant, and if they were not saved by Yao or destroyed by Jie, with Zhao's national power, even if he did not die at the hands of Qin, he would still be destroyed by another country."
"The glory of the Zhao Kingdom has passed away!"
Can Jian also smiled and glanced at Tianming.
The State of Zhao is my home, so it would be a pity after its fall.
Later... it was no longer the case.
The Kingdom of Zhao fell, and the old families in Zhao State fled, leaving only the people of Zhao State with nowhere to escape.
I thought that the people of Zhao would be massacred by the swords of the Qin army, but later I found that the people were not affected and were still cultivating the fields.
Life seems to be better.
Under the Qin Law, fields were divided, people owned their own land, and they cultivated their own land. Later, I heard that oxen were distributed.
Life is better for those common people.
I would also like to see it myself.
Why should all the princes in the temple be in power?
What we are doing is to make the country rich and the people strong!
Why change the law?
The purpose of the reform is to make the country rich and the people strong!
The princes in the temples of Zhao State were unable to do that, so they were defeated.
The common people did not seem to be greatly affected.
This may be the point of view discussed by Confucian Master Xun. His discussion at Jixia Academy is also preserved in Xingcheng Library.
I appreciate it very much.
What I really regret is Qin’s strategy in Zhao.
All the glory of Zhao State in the past was annihilated and replaced by Qin Fa.
Qin characters!
Qin coins!
Qin customs!
The phonology of Qin!
…
I can't change those things, I can only regret them.
"Zhao Guofenghua!"
"I've always seen Tianming in classics. I didn't have the chance to appreciate it before, and it seems I won't have the chance to appreciate it in the future."
"One country is not only the unification of the territories of the Xia, but also the unification of many aspects."
Tianming is also a little sad.
When we were in Xianyang Palace? There were many classics from various countries in the collection room, including the Zhao Kingdom.
Shandong Kingdoms? Each vassal state has its own unique elegance.
This is also the external manifestation that the subjects of the vassal states are different from the subjects of other states.
Now... walking all the way from Yan State? They are all gone. Many traces are gone? But I see many familiar things.
"Qin Wang Yingzheng... is a heroic lord."
"Three generations of emperors have not done that, Qin State...? Huh? There... the war is burning, is there any enemy?"
Pulling the reins, he continues to move towards the depths of the land in the clouds. What is Qin going to do? You can see it yourself.
Is that something that generations of emperors have not been able to do since three generations of antiquity?
I admire King Qin Yingzheng very much.
Suddenly, when I wanted to talk more, my spiritual sense stirred slightly and spread in all directions? A series of bright clouds of light surged around my body unconsciously.
His eyes instantly turned to the Great Wall in the north, where... suddenly a group of gray-black fireworks rose into the sky.
It was a clear day. It was very obvious. In an instant, the beacon fire rose dozens of feet above. Even from a distance of several miles, you could see it very clearly.
The appearance of beacon fire? It undoubtedly means...enemy situation?
Is there an enemy invasion?
Northern Hu Xiongnu!
This place is far away from Liaodong? It is impossible for the Donghu people to appear here? After the Qin State conquered the Zhao State, the grassland north of the Great Wall was occupied by the Xiongnu.
But...how could there be an enemy situation at this time?
"Hongnu invasion?"
Tianming exclaimed.
"Can the Qin army defend it?"
Immediately, another word fell.
"It's hard!"
"The Qin State attacked Yan and Zhao. The entire grassland area north of Yan and Zhao needed to garrison soldiers. The area was spread out over thousands of miles, so the military strength was naturally not strong."
"The Xiongnu can advance and retreat freely. As expected, it is not difficult to break through a strong attack!"
The broken sword looked solemn and fell with a deep voice.
When the states still existed, Qin was responsible for the grassland defense line in the northern section of its territory, Zhao was responsible for its own section, and Yan was responsible for its own section.
It is enough to finish off the Hu tribe.
Now...it's difficult.
After all the kingdoms were destroyed, the defense of all the grasslands fell on the Qin army, which wanted to completely block Beihu, unless Qin's military strength on the front line of the grasslands exceeded the sum of the three kingdoms.
It's obvious...that's not possible at the moment.
The Chu region needs hundreds of thousands of troops to guard it, the Three Jin regions also need a lot of troops, and the Yan Kingdom still needs troops to guard it.
And how many troops can Qin have?
"The Huns... how dare you do this!"
Turning the horse's head, he looked towards the front line of the Great Wall, where the beacon fire was still rising fiercely. From a distance, he could vaguely see some people fighting on top of the city.
"This is the junction of Yunzhong and Yanmen. It is a little far away from the Jiuyuan camp of the Qin State, and also a little far away from the Qin army in Jicheng and the land of Julu."
"The Huns seem to have planned something."
"Let's leave this place quickly. The Huns will invade here and there will be no shortage of troops."
Can Jian couldn't be more familiar with the area in Zhao Di. At this moment, they had just passed Yanmen and set foot in Yunzhong.
It is said that there are 300,000 troops in the Jiuyuan camp of the Qin State. However, to reach Jiuyuan, you still need to walk through the land in the clouds.
The Huns were very good at choosing their locations.
I just don’t know why they invaded at this time?
It is clear that unifying the entire grassland is the focus of the Xiongnu at this time, and the Donghu tribe has not been conquered yet.
It has been over a hundred and ten breaths since the beacon was lit. Sure enough, the Huns chose this place, and their troops must not be weak.
There are only two of them, so it's hard to fight against them.
"Um."
Tianming frowned and nodded.
Why did the Huns cross the Great Wall at this time?
"Sir, how far south will the Huns go?"
Without hesitation, the two of them quickly changed direction, harnessed their horses, and ran quickly towards the south. At dawn, they looked back at the Great Wall.
There...the beacon area is getting bigger and bigger.
There are really many Huns.
"Looking at the size of the Huns, if they are large, they will naturally go far south."
"If there are hundreds or thousands of people, it will only cover an area of tens of miles."
"This time... the Huns dispatched at least a team of ten thousand people."
Can Jian also looked back at where the Great Wall was. The number and height of the beacon fires... were all a rough judgment on the enemy's situation.
Based on my own understanding of the Great Wall.
The Xiongnu prepared at least an army of ten thousand people this time.
It's really a big deal.
"Ten thousand troops!"
"Then...doesn't it mean that the Huns are going deep into the interior of Yanmen? There are many cities there."
Mr. Canjian and Mr. Canjian have been in Yanzhao for so long, so they are not completely unknown to the Xiongnu.
The Xiongnu's army of ten thousand people is definitely a big move.
Hundreds or thousands of people dare to go tens of miles south of the Great Wall. A team of 10,000 people may have to go deep hundreds of miles.
And if it's hundreds of miles away, there are many cities in the Yanmen land, and there are also a lot of common people, so it will be a huge disaster.
"It depends on Qin Jun's actions!"
Can Jian's face is getting more and more ugly. The residents here in Zhao are basically the original Zhao people.
The Huns had an army of ten thousand people.
If you really want to go south, you will definitely be greatly affected.
What the Huns did was to burn, kill, pillage, and do all kinds of evil.
Did the Qin army not know anything about the Xiongnu invasion?
Perhaps, the Qin army's main attention now falls on Zhuxia.
He patted the horse under him with one hand and urged the horse to run faster, hoping to go south quickly and inform some people so that they could leave quickly.
Hope to reduce some damage.
"Um?"
Not long.
Marching southward, it didn't even take half a stick of incense. Can Jian suddenly reined in the reins, his expression changed slightly, and he looked towards the southwest.
There... my spiritual sense sensed that an iron-blooded evil spirit rising from the sky was roaring and approaching, and the earth began to tremble vaguely.
"Is there... any movement there?"
Tianming is not strong enough, so although he cannot sense movement in the southwest, he can sense the vibrations of the earth.
He also reined in the reins, his eyes flashed brightly, and he looked at where Mr. Can Jian was looking.
"An army is coming!"
Can Jian's words are simple.
"Yes...it's the Golden Fire Cavalry!"
"It's General Meng Tian's Golden Fire Cavalry!"
After staring for only a few breaths, deep in his eyes, a vanguard of fast horses suddenly appeared, followed by a large army like wings.
They were all heavily armored cavalry, shining brightly under the scorching sun, with a dark golden luster flowing around them. They were not dazzling, but rather restrained.
Light armor covers the horse, with golden texture imprinted on it. A soldier holds a spear, wears an eagle helmet, and wears a flaming cloak.
When they come together and move in the wind, their color is like gold, their movement is like fire, their movement is like clouds, this army will be known at dawn.
The Golden Fire Cavalry was trained personally by General Meng Tian.
The leader... is a burly general who has not been seen for several years!
