[Qin] Qin Shi

In the 18th year of King Qin, the state of Qin could not be attacked for a long time. The King of Qin sent someone to recruit Pingjun, so that King Zhao killed Li Mu and dismissed Sima Shang.At the same time, Guo Kai recommended Zhao Cong and Yan Ju as generals to defend against Qin.The Qin army divided into three groups, Li Xin ordered his troops to encircle the four northern counties, Wang Jian led his troops to see off the main force, and Bai Shu ordered Qin soldiers to attack Handan by way of Yanbei.

In the autumn of the 18th year of King Qin, Zhao Cong was killed, Yan Ju retreated to defend Handan, the main force of Qin State's three roads joined forces outside Handan City, and all counties in Yanbei surrendered to Qin State. So far, Zhao State has fallen to Qin State except Handan and Dai County.In the same month, the city of Handan was broken, Zhao Wangqian was captured, and the son Jia led the clan master to guard the capital and was defeated.

It was late at night when the people of the Qin army surrounded the royal family who had abandoned the city and fled in Handan. The nobles who had been riding non-stop along the way had escaped dozens of kilometers from Handan and were about to enter the border of Yanbei.Surrounded at this time, in addition to regret and fear, there is also a sense of solidity that the heart that has been hanging has finally landed.

The leader of this noble is Mr. Zhao Jia.

"I want to see your general," Zhao Jia boldly yelled at the group of Qin soldiers when he saw that the Qin soldiers were only besieging the mountain but did not intend to kill them, "I am Zhao Gongzi Jia, the emperor of Zhou personally entrusted Zhao Son of the king, if you touch me, it will be disrespectful, disrespectful to the emperor!"

Although the Zhou royal family has long since declined, but in this era when superiors and inferiors are clearly distinguished, status can determine everything.

Not long after he finished speaking, he saw Qin Bing, who had blocked them tightly, slamming a path as if they had been cut.They held up torches and lit a road leading to the encirclement. At one end were the besieged Zhao nobles, and at the other end was a general in black armor and black cloak, holding a Mo knife.

The general didn't walk fast, but he was imposing. He walked step by step, and every step seemed to be stepping on a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.The man stopped when he reached the edge of the Qin army's formation.He served the nobles who were trapped in the center, looked at their embarrassment, saw that their former brilliance and elegance were completely gone, and chuckled lightly.

The laughter was particularly ear-piercing in the dark night where there were only torches: "Long time no see." Turning the Mo Dao in his hand half a circle, inserting the tip of the knife on the ground, he raised his hand and took off his helmet, "Young Master Jia."

"Yanbei Lord." Zhao Jia's pupils shrank, and the shock on his face could not be concealed, "You really voted for Qin." There was some realization, some dissatisfaction, but more anger, "How dare you—— —”

"How dare I vote for Qin," Bai Shu tucked his ears, with an indifferent expression, "How dare I betray Zhao Guo, how can I betray Lian Po and Lin Xiangru, how can I live up to your expectations, blah blah blah." Zhao Jia, who was in a low-lying area, looked impatient, "Apart from these, can you say anything else?"

Zhao Jia glared at Bai Shu, perhaps because of the angle, his eyes reflected the torches burning beside Bai Shu, the flames looked like vengeful anger: "Don't you care about the people of Yanbei?"

"Don't threaten me with the people of Yanbei, I'm not going to do that today." Putting the helmet on the handle of the Modao stuck in the ground, Bai Shu sat down, looking as if he wanted to have a long talk with Zhao Jia "Ah, speaking of it, you are 'Gong Zi Jia' so—what about Zhao Wangqian?"

Bai Shu showed a meaningful smile: "Your Zhao Wang, Zhao Qian, where did you go?" The ending turned up, full of malice, "Did you go to the place where you should go first to wait for you?" ?”

Following the movement of Bai Shu to sit down, the Qin soldiers beside him knocked the weapons in their hands to the ground in unison, acting as guards.And Bai Shu glanced at the corpses protecting Zhao Bing on the ground, and clicked his tongue: "A group of fools," he judged, "However, they are still individuals."

There is something in these words, but it is an understatement: "You actually know it, Lin Xiangru went all kinds of ways for Yanbei's grain, grass and salary back then."

From the corner of his eye, he noticed that people in the convoy gathered around Zhao Jia one after another. Bai Shu didn't care, and continued on his own: "Later, Lin Xiangru passed away, and Yanbei cut off his salary and money. You're so good. Father was also worried that Lian Po would completely cut off the supply at the border because of Lin Xiangru's rebellion, and threatened Lian Po to return to Handan?"

One leg curled up, elbow resting on knee.The Qin army has always been well-trained, thousands of heavily armored soldiers are like ghosts in this night, and Bai Shu's voice is the only sound in the night.

Zhao Jia's hands were clenched by his side: "Is this why you betrayed?"

"You know, and you protested to your father." Bai Shu didn't answer Zhao Jia's question, "You sent the first batch of military pay and food to the border. Although it wasn't enough, you promised to have more. Looking up at the sky, "The old man was still there at that time, and he said, thank you, he wrote it down."

Stars are shining in the sky at night, this place is close to Yanbei, and the familiar starry sky looks like it was decades ago: "Later, you fulfilled your promises one after another. Self-cultivation is not unsustainable. Serving as a soldier and fighting a war is just a little need for food and clothing.”

As if joking with himself, he shrugged his shoulders: "Later, Wang Ling, who left the old man Zhao Yandiao, came down, and you were shut down and punished because of your advice." Closing your eyes, you can still draw every star "The old guy weighed the pros and cons and decided to leave Yanbei and go to Wei. He thought King Zhao would let Yanbei go—after all, they are all sons of Zhao."

"They're all Zhao Guo's good sons." The voice was full of emotion, "Back then Zhao Wuling Wang Hufu rode and shot, what a sight."

Zhao Jia raised his head and looked at his old friend who was sitting under the torch and facing the starry sky with his eyes closed: "But you stood up." How anxious he was in the mansion, the snow fell very late in Handan that year, so he thought so There will be no snow in Yanbei, so the winter for the soldiers will be better without him, right?

When people are helpless, they can only comfort themselves in this way.Later, he heard that the outside of the pass was not like Chi Xue inside the pass that year, the snow outside the pass was so heavy that the barbarians on the grassland had to enter the pass to plunder.

That year, Yanbei suffered heavy casualties, and dozens of distress letters were sent to Handan one after another, but when Handan decided to send someone, another battle report came, saying that Yanbei suffered heavy casualties, but the city was held.

"Have you ever seen red snow?" Bai Shu opened his eyes, and looked down at Zhao Jia, "Snow that is sticky, black and red, dotted on the white ground like plum blossoms stained with ink?" Because of the homonym Because of this, Zhao Jia couldn't tell whether the other party was talking about 'snow' or 'blood' for a while.

"I've seen it, it's all over the sky, just hidden under the white snowflakes." There are still the weak roars of those veterans in my ears, and the voice telling them, young men, to run in the direction of Handan, " The friends who were playing together yesterday lost their breath beside them, and the elders who were talking just now lost their lives in unknown places."

"Then when the hot blood occupied my sight, I suddenly remembered something." Bai Shu shook his head, "My friend read it to me, do you want to listen?"

Zhao Jia looked at Bai Shu who was talking to himself with complicated eyes: "What is it?"

"Cang Yun belonged, all brothers and sisters in the same robe, and they should swear to protect each other to the death." The voice was not firm, but erratic as if drunk, "Anyone who betrays the country, betrays trust, is unrighteous, or harms the people because of selfish desires is a The direction of Cang Yun's sharp blade." He looked at Zhao Jia, but he was not in his eyes, "For matters that are contrary to Cang Yun's creed, only ask right and wrong, there is no room for it."

"Do you know what these words mean?" There was no firmness in questioning, but it was like a child reading a few lines of poetry casually, and then asking the adults around him what these words meant, "Pingshadang Hulu, Juan Xuezhen Yanguan. You are all scholars, you are all princes and nobles, you must know it."

Why is Cang Yun, probably because he is in Yanbei.

"Later, that year, Xi was only eight years old." He made a gesture that was about the same height as he was sitting on, "He grabbed the corner of my clothes and asked me weakly: 'Brother, tomorrow, I will give you the rice porridge tomorrow. Drink?' Do you know what I was thinking at that time?"

"I'm thinking, fuck your dignity." At this point, Bai Shu's voice was full of laughter, "Go to hell with your pride, let him survive, let them survive, and drive those guys out of the geese. Bei, if I can play with them again, and be called 'little general', what can I do."

"Then, I survived." He said, "And then I lived until now, although they are no longer here, but someone still remembers, right?" Bai Shu's voice was very soft, "Worship every year, dig monuments every year , who was sacrificed and who was engraved, suddenly I can’t remember clearly.”

Obviously it was just casual words, but Zhao Jia lifted his robe and knelt down in front of Bai Shu.

"It's us who owe you justice. We owe Yanbei tens of thousands of soldiers." Zhao Jia looked at Bai Shu, his eyes as firm as his voice at the moment, "I know that no matter what I do now, I can't make up for the past. My father's fault, but if there is anything I can do, please tell me, as long as I can do it, I will not refuse."

Bai Shu looked at Zhao Jia, looked at the princes and nobles standing behind him, and their carriages that were obviously loaded with baggage: "I want the things in the carriages behind you." Suddenly another topic came up, " It's ok." Like a child, he asked adults for favors in an innocent tone.

"Boldly—"

"Yes!" Zhao Jia knelt on the ground, and suddenly raised his voice to block the dissatisfaction behind him, "Whatever you want, Lord Yanbei can take it directly. Even if it is Jia's life, Lord Yanbei can take it all!"

Zhao Jia knelt there with a straight posture, but the nobles of the Zhao Kingdom behind him exploded. They huddled behind the only remaining soldiers and cursed at Zhao Jia's good deeds.Some people stretched out their hands, trying to bribe Bai Shu with the money in their hands, asking him to spare their lives.

Bai Shu leaned back, propped himself up with one hand and let out a nasal voice: "You heard that too," completely ignoring the strange gazes on him, "Don't leave anything to these people except their lives." .”

When the soldiers of Qin State heard this incredible order, they subconsciously looked at the familiar Qin general.

But those soldiers who belonged to Yanbei who were chasing after Bai Shu didn't have so many scruples. They swarmed up with weapons, showing the aura of looting the barbarians in the past. They are not so much soldiers as bandits .Solving those who resisted smoothly, and the mood is better than planning who will grab the things.

"I know this can't make up for one or two." Zhao Jia didn't move, despite the noise behind him, he knelt straight to Bai Shu, "In this situation, it's too late to say anything, but Yan—"

Seemingly unintentionally, when a soldier was grabbing something from his colleagues, the package they looted flew out and hit Zhao Jia precisely on the back of the head.Zhao Jia was unprepared, and knocked his head on the ground. Qin Jun, who was watching, had already laughed out loud. He didn't know whether he was laughing at Zhao Jia, or at the vulgarity of the soldiers in Yanbei.

"It's enough to make a fuss, don't go too far." Bai Shu didn't intend to stop him, but looked at Zhao Jia who kowtowed to him, and commented calmly, "This is Zhao Jia, and it's not Zhao Qian, the one who owes us is in Handan."

As Bai Shu's words fell, there were obviously dissatisfied voices from the looting soldiers, but in sync with them, their swift and swift movements.

The generals of the Qin army looked at Bai Shu with increasingly complex expressions as they watched the Yanbei soldiers' changing aura.

Bai Shu didn't care about other people's opinions, and glanced at his former soldiers: "Next time you call me Yanbei Jun, they will still beat you, believe it or not." He seemed to mention casually, "Well, although the King of Qin also Promised me, but from now on, there will only be Qin Shu, and no Yanbei Lord."

Omitting his surname, Bai Shu scratched the back of his neck: "Although it's so tragic, it's actually not bad." I don't really want to bring up the events of the year, especially in front of the soldiers of Qin State, "threats and temptations Yes, you have survived that winter, and you know what happened afterwards."

Zhao Jia hummed.

Those Yanbei soldiers seemed to be doing it on purpose, and it seemed that it was just a coincidence. They carried the boxes and unpacked packages that had been destroyed by them in twos and threes, and walked past Zhao Jia. Put it in front of him, then walk behind Bai Shu and stand still.

When the last soldier put away the package that obviously belonged to a woman, Bai Shu put down the hand rubbing his neck: "Gao is not mistaken, so hundreds of people brought about 14 gold? I raised a border army back then. One hundred thousand, you only brought 14? How poor—"

I don't know if it's heart-pricking or sarcasm: "Okay," Bai Shu stood up, and patted the armor that was covered with dirt, "These are considered as money for life, ten thousand gold for the lives of seven people? It's a pretty good deal, Grabbing the helmet hanging on the knife, he casually clamped it under his arm, and pulled out the knife with one hand, "Let me go!"

"What?" The accompanying generals were startled, unable to believe their ears, "General!"

"I said—let him go!" Bai Shu didn't have any negative emotions, "I'll explain it to the king, just let him go."

Qin Jun looked at each other in twos and threes, but after all, Bai Shu was their general at this time, and he was the deputy general recognized by the main general Wang Jian, so he could only order his subordinates to open a way for this group of people.

But I didn't expect Qin Jun to open the way, but there was a new question: "Wait!" Zhao Jia waved away the servant who wanted to help him, "Yanbei Jun, Zhao Jia has another question!"

The Mo knife in Bai Shu's hand swung horizontally, stopping the Yanbei soldiers behind him who wanted to rush forward, looking down at Zhao Jia: "Say."

"If I was willing to fight back then, would you be willing to win this world for me?" His voice was so high that it overshadowed the minutiae of Zhao's nobles behind him, and overwhelmed the whispers of Qin's soldiers.And his words successfully quieted everyone down, and all the realizations fell on the peeping general.

"Well, how should I put it?" Bai Shu withdrew his hand, loosened his right hand holding the helmet, and the helmet fell into his hand, "The old man owes you a favor, and you have to pay it back." He said indifferently, "You If I were asked to wash Handan with blood that night, I would do it—you are the son of the first son, and you are one of the rare people in Handan who is willing to think about Yanbei."

He didn't care what he said. "Didn't I say it all just now? Fuck your dignity. Well, did I swear for the third time tonight?" It means "forget it, it's not something important, just like you rejected me that night, isn't it?"

"Your Majesty, ah, I mean King Qin, is there any difference between you and you?" He raised the helmet with his backhand, and the soldier behind him took Bai Shu's helmet with winking hands, "Shu begged King Qin not to To move Yanbei, King Qin promised that as long as Yanbei does not turn against him, he is willing to use Yanbei again."

"People from Yanbei, soldiers from Yanbei, generals from Yanbei, and me from Yanbei." Bai Shu stood there, looking down at Zhao Jia and those nobles who used to be high above him, "and Lian I beg King Zhao not to give up Zhao Guo Yanbei, Zhao Yan, and Zhao Qian," sarcastically, "Guess what King Zhao replied?"

He lowered his voice, imitating the impatient and rough tone of a rough man: "Yanbei? What's the matter with me, as long as the barbarians haven't reached Handan, let them fend for themselves."

"How interesting, King Zhao does not want Yanbei in Zhao State, but King Qin is willing to take it. Merchants in Zhao State are not willing to use their old grain and spare money to save Yanbei in Zhao State, but Qin State businessmen are willing to save it. Help - guess what they said when I asked why?"

"They said—'Ah, is it the Yanbei Army that resisted the Huns?'" Bai Shu raised his hands to cover his eyes, but his voice revealed his hatred, "They said—"The principal is sold to you , but we don’t care about the transportation. If there is any surplus food next year, I will keep it for you.”

"Zhao Jia, tell me, why didn't I vote for Qin?"

"Zhao Jia, tell me, what else is good about Zhao Guo?"

The person who was questioned by Bai Shu knelt there, facing Bai Shu, with blood dripping on the ground from the clenched hands hanging by his side.

"Zhao Jia, the soldiers who died at Yanbei Pass, the older ones already had great-grandsons at home, and the younger ones are just 12 years old. Now their youngest should be as old as you." Close your eyes, He can still see the eyes of those people yearning to live, "Your life is your life, and their life should be born humble, and be trampled into the mud by you?"

This time, let alone Yanbei's people, even Qin Jun's whispering voice suddenly disappeared.

"They also have young and old, brothers and sisters, and wives who are waiting for them to return home. Why would you rather waste it than give it to Yanbei? Why—" Bai Shu lowered his eyes and looked at Zhao Jia , looking at the nobleman behind him, "I gave the prescription to the king of Qin for eight years, the steel and iron that the Qin army can match. I gave it to the king of Zhao for 15 years, and no one but you can take a look at it?"

"Zhao Jia, can you please tell me how we are worse than you, King Zhao is compared to King Qin!"

Zhao Jia opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

"Now, you still want to ask me, why did you vote for Qin?" Bai Shu turned around and turned his back to Zhao Jia, "Now, I have repaid the old man's favor for him. I will repay the kindness you planted back then. .From then on, Yanbei——will never owe you Zhao royal family anything."

Zhao Jia looked at Bai Shu's back, saw that behind him was not as ostentatious as before, and only had calm Yanbei soldiers on his face, watched them follow Bai Shu's footsteps and turn around resolutely, without even looking at the golden man on the ground. With a glance at Silver Jewelry, she walked crisply and neatly.

It is like a doll that has been taken out of its bracket, and it falls to one side and sits on the ground.

And Qin Jun, following Bai Shu's departure, took a last look at the Zhao family who were supposed to be killed by them, and withdrew together.

"They don't want any of these anymore?" The nobles shrunk behind the soldiers cheered softly, and then pounced on the money spread on the ground like hungry wolves. , not belonging to her, all stuffed into her bosom.

"One hundred thousand..." Zhao Jia looked at the farce in front of him, his eyes were dry, "It's only one hundred thousand—" He raised his bloody palm, "Father, that one It's only a hundred thousand." He slowly curled up, his voice mournful, "Why is this..."

Hearing Zhao Jia's wailing behind him, Yanbei's soldiers gave a cut and caught up with their general in small steps: "Master, master!" With a smile on his face, he called Bai Shu in a low voice, "From today onwards, We are Qin Bing, right~" He belongs to the kind who recognizes people but not soldiers, "After that, will you take us?"

Bai Shu hummed, not very interested.

But Yanbei's soldiers have long been used to his general's hot and cold temperament, not to mention that there was a reason for what happened tonight: "Then can we go back to comfort the monument? Tell them what happened tonight, and let them explain it too." Relieve."

"Ah," Bai Shu responded, "I have to do this, but I won't go back."

"It's okay, there are so many of us, we must not miss any details, tell them all. But just let them go, King Qin, I mean Your Majesty," the moment when he was stared at by the vicious eyes of the surrounding Qin generals Changed his words, "Won't your majesty hold the general accountable for your responsibility?"

"It's just a county." Bai Shu stopped, his eyes skipped over General Qin who was here, and he suddenly realized that maybe they didn't understand why he let them go tonight, "You don't know why you still listen to my orders Let them go?" Looking at the calm faces of the Qin generals, Bai Shu was startled for a moment, and a feeling of warmth welled up in his heart.

He raised his hand and wiped his face: "Didn't you tell you to let people go before? Those who choose Zhao country must have a goal to gather together." Looking at the pensive General Qin and the Yanbei soldiers who suddenly realized , all the complicated thoughts tonight turned into funny, "You really believe me."

"After all, you are a general." Yan Beibing whispered, "You always have your own ideas."

"Young Master Jia, isn't the orthodoxy of the Zhao royal family a good target? Those people will gather around him, but it's just a county." He didn't realize what he accidentally exposed, "Only they are crowded together Together, in the future, the king will be able to have a good harvest."

"Kill, you must kill." His eyes passed Yanbei's thoughtful soldier, "But whether to kill early or late, whether to kill after washing, or to borrow someone else's knife, there is something particular about it, it depends on the day. What's more, it's the general of Qin now, what's the matter, we have to wait for the king to decide." The corner of his mouth hooked up, "Everyone will have a backer in the future."

"Hey," General Qin poked the Yanbei soldiers beside him, "Did the general circle Daijun just now?"

No matter how Yan Beibing answered, it wasn't Bai Shu's concern anymore. He hummed the tune that only he could know now, left all the past behind, and walked lightly towards the red man grazing under the tree. Zao Ma went.

"The heavy-armored warriors from Qin plus the soldiers from Yanbei—go back and ask the king how about naming him Cangyun."

Bai Shu's voice quickly dissipated in the wind.

"Xuanjia Cangyun, what a match for Daqin."

The author has something to say: There is a bug here, in fact, Yanbei includes Daijun, but this is not important!

In history, the state of Zhao was destroyed by King Qin in 19 years, but in fact the difference is not big~

In addition, it was Zhao Jia who left, not Zhao Wangqian. He is still in Handan and has not been dealt with!
