[Qin] Qin Shi

When Zhao Li was young, he rode his horse galloping on Handan Road, wantonly laughing at those dudes who hurriedly dodged under his horse's hooves, but were embarrassed because they were not fast enough.

It was only later that his grandfather offended the king because of his remonstrance, his father's official career was hindered, and his family was implicated and demoted to the border. Only then did he realize that behind the prosperity of Handan were hundreds of thousands of suffering people, fighting with them for corn He even fought the despair of his family being ruined.

Later, he met a young man, who was still at the age of the other party brazenly mocking 'Why not eat minced meat', but the other party had already stepped into the battlefield, biting the enemy's throat like a wolf like a tiger, and let him die with just one look. He made up his mind and wanted to follow the figure.

He watched the young man who was a little shorter than him grow up slowly, from a vain "major general" to the real leader of Yanbei, a hero whom the people worshiped on their knees.

And he, chasing that figure, from the soldier to the captain, from the lieutenant general of the centurion.

"This sounds disgusting," he replied later, when he found the general sitting by the bonfire one night and told him what he thought back then, "but at that time, he could see the general With such a majestic figure, your vision is worthy of praise."

How did he respond then?

"General, you really never know what modesty is."

He watched the general and the king of Zhao blame each other, watched him run around for food and clothing, watched him grit his teeth and accompany the soldiers through the severe cold and heat, and watched him turn a dilapidated Yanbei into an inviolable solid soil.

He thought that this was his future. He would guard Zhao's Yanbei, accompany the general and the people of Yanbei, and die as a lieutenant general, or die of old age in the land that accepted him.

Just like when he was a child, he only thought that he could only be a happy playboy for the rest of his life under the wings of his parents.

——Until one day, two guests from afar came uninvited.

——Until one day, the King of Zhao sacrificed his generals just like the King of Han sacrificed Han Fei to complete his own rule.

"Don't have that expression on your face," the general said, with the loose and free look he had when they first met, "Maybe things are not as bad as you think, if you don't stay here, you have your own place, have you heard that? "

He, the general, raised his robe and knelt down in front of him.

The expression on the general's face froze for a moment, he raised his hand and rubbed his face, his voice was slightly blurred by his movements: "I hate your kneeling nature the most, what's the use of you kneeling to me, If I escape, what will happen to Yanbei, what will you soldiers who follow me do?"

He opened his mouth, but found that his voice was so weak that even his mouth seemed to fall like a heavy weight.

"Besides, maybe things are not as bad as you imagined." The general sitting cross-legged in the carriage still had that bright smile on his face, "Your general, I am so heroic, smart and lovely, maybe there is such a handsome man I have a keen eye for your general, and maybe I plan to make a promise with my body."

He looked at the general who had no haze on his face, the words entrusted by thousands of people could not be uttered in the end.

Thousands of words, in the end only a dry sentence remained: "I will protect you into Qin Dynasty."

Does he hate King Zhao?

He hated it. If King Zhao was tolerant, his grandfather and father would still be officials in Handan, and his mother and grandmother would not die of illness because of the great changes at home.

But he didn't hate that much either. If it wasn't for King Zhao, he would have been a dandy who owed nothing to his father's shadow in his life, and he wouldn't be the Yanbei soldiers who were feared by the barbarians, and he wouldn't have met so many like-minded comrades in arms, and he wouldn't have met General.

after that--

He watched coldly the third girl whom he had grown up to fall under his sword, watched his icy sword drenched in blood, watched the fright that had frozen on her face before it faded, watched her fall The children exposed before his eyes.

Raise the sword and drop it.

"You owe this to the general." The child's blood splashed into the air, but the murderer was neither sad nor happy. "He owes no one."

——Later, Xi died at the hands of Lian Po, Qian Shan died at the hands of the soldiers of King Zhao who chased and killed the general, and even the general almost died on the land of Zhao he had once guarded.

——Later, the general asked him if he wanted to follow him, if he wanted to join him and follow the new king.

No, not the new king.

is his only king.

"You never would have imagined," under the moonlight, the young man sitting cross-legged on the wooden porch supported his ankles with his hands, his eyes gleaming with excitement, "Except for the power of Yanbei, he promised half of the Qin soldiers and me, and he even protected me After leaving Qinguan, can you imagine that he is the Meng family son from back then."

Not all kings possess the courage to fight alone: ​​"At that time, he didn't even know whether 'Yanbei Lord' was in name only or lived up to his reputation, so he dared to bring a person to Yanbei , just to verify the recommendation of one of his confidantes, such a king, why worry about the world being injustice!"

He looked sideways at his general, looked at the light and heat in his eyes, looked at the undisguised smile on his face, and saw the small dimple on his face for the first time.

Ah, he laughed, it turned out that there were dimples.

Hindsight, unknowingly.

"You..." The soles of the shoes were stained with blood flowing from one big and one small, and another voice broke the silence, "Let's go."

"Don't you want to avenge your sister, Le?" Turning around, a young man appeared outside the door, "Your sister, your brother-in-law, and your nephew all died under the sword of my family!" — don't you want to avenge them?"

Le looked at Li, and at this middle-aged man who had watched him grow up: "I really want revenge, but I won't do it for her." He said so, sweeping across the woman who had lost her life on the ground , eyes indifferent as if looking at a dead thing.

No, that is already a dead thing: "Brother, well, my elder brother died for my elder brother. I should avenge my elder brother. My elder brother died because of the barbarians of the Huns. The double hatred should go to those barbarians. Uncle Li You have been helping your brother for so many years, and even rebuilt the fake village outside, what are you doing to take revenge on you?"

He twitched the corner of his mouth: "No regrets?"

"If there is no elder brother, our family will probably only be farmers in the fields forever. Today, we are able to read and write, and our wife and children can live a prosperous life. It is all thanks to my elder brother - even the city that is more prosperous than Xianyang Yanbei was also created by my elder brother, and it is too late to guard Yanbei, so where is the time for revenge?"

He said so, turned around and faded away: "Uncle Li, don't forget to deal with the aftermath."

"Hey, Li, I'll be counting on you to deal with the aftermath this time~" The back of the young man gradually overlapped with the general who put his hands together in the moonlight and pretended to be begging, "I am really optimistic about King Qin."

"Was it wrong?"

"If you make a mistake, you will be wrong. I only know that if I miss this opportunity, I don't know when the next time will be." The general's smile is like the starry sky that night, without any haze, and the stars are shining, "Li Zuo Well, you will definitely help me this time too, right, just happen to be together, together we..."

"I am Zhao Ren."

The general's smile stayed on his face for a moment, but was quickly buried by gentleness: "Li, so gentle." He continued, as if the abrupt tone had never appeared, "I will marry Li in the future." You must be very happy, as long as you lie on the bed and enjoy it, you don’t have to do anything~”

"I will meet you on the battlefield in the future," Li turned his head, and sat side by side with the general on the wooden porch, looking up at the starry sky, "just ask the general."

"That's not necessarily the case." The general gathered his cloak, and his tone was still so casual, "A gentle person like Li will definitely be protected by the father-in-law of the land. He will live a long life and have descendants around his knees."

The general wants him to live a long life, how dare he only live to 99?

When fighting on the battlefield, he gritted his teeth and used his arms to resist the knives and guns that stabbed him.He fell down again and again, and stood up again and again until the robes around him disappeared, until he heard the voice of "Zhao Wang Yi Jiang" filling the ground behind him, and then he let himself fall down, and only allowed himself to faint.

When he woke up from the sea of ​​blood, he dragged his seriously injured body and crawled towards the north. He took off his armor and discarded his sword and gun, and moved towards the north with his hands. Holding his heavy body, he crawled towards the distant place little by little.

after that--

With the raging flames in front of his eyes, the family members who had already died in the room naturally wouldn't let out any painful wails.

——Later, he was rescued by kind-hearted people, and he returned to Yanbei with his wounds in his heart.

At that time, the land had not yet been given a unified name. At that time, the general was still the descendant "Yanbei Lord", not the "Yanbei Lord" of the Qin Dynasty.

He saw his general again, riding forward with the handsome king who had been to Yanbei, with a bright and wanton smile on his face, better than the blooming season and the scorching sun.

He stood at the outermost circle of the newly recovered village, looked at the figure of the general, and slowly knelt down.

Just like that year when he swore allegiance to the death, he bowed his head in obedience to him.

General, Li has repaid Zhao who gave birth to him and raised him. He lived on the battlefield, and the rest of his life must be for your Yanbei.

He will guard Yanbei, protect Yanbei, and never leave Yanbei for the rest of his life.

The man with gray hair overnight bent down and knelt in front of the standing stone tablet, bent down and picked up the slightly withered flower branches.

Beside him is the laughter of a woman and her husband. Their children are innocent and innocent.

General--

Fingers paused on a bouquet of roses that had turned dark, raised his hand to see the gradually rounded blood beads, Zhao Li put his fingers in his mouth.

——You always say that things are not as bad as your subordinates think, but it turns out that you are wrong.

— but you are also right.

Qin Huang gathered the soldiers in the south, leaving only the garrison, and entangled millions of soldiers to sweep across the grasslands, driving those people out of the Tianshan Mountains completely, and established Guguan at the places you marked.

Since then, the grasslands are ours, and the mountains are also ours. This land you have been thinking about, as you wish, has a unified nation and a unified name.

He also posthumously titled you as 'Wu'an Jun', and assigned Yanbei to the eldest son Fusu to take charge of it on his behalf.The eldest son grows up by your side, and if you think about it, you will definitely be able to inherit your will and become a real king with the world in mind.

General, this world is unworthy of you.

I only hope that in the next life, all the good things in this world will be closely linked with you.
