[Comprehensive] Why am I not dead yet?

"Going to Zhao country?"

Guiguzi, who was lazily pruning the flowers and branches, paused for a while, and looked back at the person who made the request in surprise.

Bai Qi, the Lord of Wu'an in the State of Qin, was famous for killing gods. The most famous one was the battle of Changping between Qin and Zhao, where more than 40 prisoners were killed, and all men in Zhao State were killed in battle. Ping, Zhao Guo was seriously injured and there was no possibility of struggling anymore, but Qin Guo also suffered more than half of the casualties. In order to cope with this long and tragic war, all the young men of Zhao Guo died in battle, and even Qin Guo's own soldiers were also killed and injured. , the age of recruited men dropped again and again... Finally, the war ended, and the total number of deaths on both sides was more than [-].

The battle of Changping, bloodshed, suppressed the momentum and confidence of the other countries, and also completely established the inevitable trend of the Great Qin coming east to sweep the six countries.

But Bai Qi is still human after all, he is a citizen of Qin State, he is a general of Qin State, he loves his country, and respects his king, but he is still a person with flesh and blood, heart and soul.

War kills people, which is unavoidable no matter what.

In the era of cold weapons, which one of the soldiers who survived the battle on the battlefield did not climb out of the pile of corpses?In addition, Qin State favored martial arts and rewarded military merits, so Qin soldiers on the battlefield have long been used to killing people, and they are also used to watching the people around them die.

But no matter how you get used to it, there is still a difference between a unilateral massacre and a desperate fight on the battlefield.

Generally speaking, the soldiers who surrendered on the battlefield should be collected into their own army and brought back to their own country, which will be transformed into new labor and troops in the future.

But the number of people in the Battle of Changping was too terrifying.

40 surrendered troops...

What level of numbers is this?

——In front of Bai Qi, there is a difficult problem.

Firstly, once Zhao Guo’s surrendered soldiers let go and let all these 40 people return to Zhao Guo, then it is equivalent to returning the vital strength of Zhao Guo. The Qin State also has a great possibility; then the Battle of Changping is equivalent to wasting countless human, financial and material resources in vain, and fighting in vain has no practical effect or benefit other than showing its own threat to other countries .

Second, it is food.

The war consumes not only manpower, but also material resources and food. In every war, a large amount of food and grass will be quickly exhausted within a terrifying number, and one of the main reasons for these 40 people to fall to Qin is the stage of Bai Qi Without supplies and food transportation, Shengsheng exhausted all their supplies.

How hungry are these people?

In the ninth month of the lunar calendar in the 55th year of King Zhou Nan, the main force of the Zhao army had been out of food for 46 days.

First, the grass roots and bark that can be eaten to feed the hunger, then the war horses that are regarded as life, and finally even the soldiers who secretly kill the wounded and sick as food...

... That is the most realistic and cruel scene of purgatory in this chaotic world.

Why drop?

Because want to live.

Once they choose to surrender to Qin, the first to abandon them is the original country; although Qin became the winner under the leadership of Bai Qi, the food and grass needed by its own soldiers is not a small amount.

It is impossible for Bai Qi to put them into the army of Qin State. Qin State originally recruited men over the age of 17, but for this war, the age dropped again and again, and they had to join the army when they reached the age of 15; He couldn't afford the burden of 40 yuan, and he couldn't afford the threat of 40 yuan.

The result is only one.

……kill.

The Qin State, which has been fighting for years, is about to continue fighting almost after a little breather. The soldiers are not afraid of death but do not understand life.

The first battle of Bai Qi Changping established the name of killing God, and since then he has taken over the unresolvable enmity with Fan Sui... He admits that his death has something to do with this war, with his reputation, and with Fan Sui. There are relationships.

But what does King Qin himself mean?

Bai Qi has always wanted to ask, how much of Fan Sui's meaning was in the sword that King Qin sent in the end, and how much of King Qin's own acquiescence was in it.

He won't ask anymore, and he doesn't want to ask anymore.

In the future, it would be nice to spend time in Ghost Valley.

It was precisely because Guiguzi sensed his disciple's thoughts that he went to take him back to Guigu.

Therefore, if Bai Qi wants to go out for a stroll, the border between Qin and Zhao should probably be the two places he is least willing to go.

One is a sad and lonely place that makes a high-spirited god of war completely ashamed, and the other...

"...Go and have a look." Guiguzi smacked his lips, and handed the cut flower branch to Xiao Liansu's hand. "Don't expect this trip to solve your heart problems. I have no objection to you taking my little Susu as your object to escape from your demons, but don't pollute this child with your messy things."

Bai Qi smiled wryly: "How come..."

"Ouyou, that's not necessarily true." Guiguzi rubbed the little disciple's head, and gave Bai Qi a meaningful look: "Speaking of which, it doesn't matter if you take my little Susu to Zhao, but you have to keep an eye on it." Don't let her get in touch with anyone, especially some messy guy, such a pretty little doll, what if someone accidentally takes her away..."

Guiguzi started to babble again, Lian Su and Bai Qi looked at each other with helpless smiles on each other.

****

It is not difficult to go to Zhao country, just adjust the position of Guigu Neishan.

The first battle in Changping was badly damaged, and the only suitable place for Zhao Guo to let Lian Su go to play was probably Handan, the capital city. After finishing packing, Bai Qi took Lian Su out of the valley. First, he changed the little girl into beautiful clothes. She has a beautiful and delicate appearance, even though she is still young, she can easily see that she is a pretty beauty, and besides Bai Qi, Lord Wu An of the Qin Kingdom, her bearing is unmatched by others.

Bai Qi glanced around and saw nothing else, but he could see how many people's eyes were glued to his child's body.

There is no way. After the first battle in Changping, there were too few men in Zhao State, not to mention conscription, and there were not many daily labor force. Handan, the capital city, was a little better, but ordinary people could only survive. If it is worse, they can only barely maintain food and clothing, and the children will go outside and roll in the dust all over their bodies, and they will all become disgraced monkeys after returning home.

I am used to seeing my own children who are dusty, and suddenly a beautiful little girl as white as a jade doll comes out, and no one can't help but want to take a few more glances.

Although Bai Qi looked leisurely, as long as Lian Su walked a little further away, no matter where he was in a blind spot, he would definitely raise his heels in the next second, and many people who tried to talk to him couldn't help but back away.

Of course, it was not only those curious people who were disappointed, but also Lian Su herself.

She has stayed in the valley for too long, besides the senior brother is the master, and then there are the birds and beasts in the mountains, no matter how good her temper is, she can't help it, let alone the current Lian Su, her temper is really not that good Very good.

This time it was hard to get out of the valley, followed by Bai Qi, the Great Qin Killer Wu Anjun, who opened several novelty stalls one after another. It seems a bit too rough, but these things are better than novelty, coupled with the enthusiastic yelling of the stall owner, the little girl is also a little eager to move.

Before she reached out her hand, she was stopped by Bai Qi.

"If you want, go back and senior brother will make one for you."

Lian Su: "..."

Lian Su: "Brother, you are so annoying."

Bai Qi made a straight face: "...Oh, when I came out, there was a lot of good senior brothers, good senior brothers. If I stand closer, you will think I'm annoying."

Xiao Liansu lowered his head and wrung his fingers, muttering in a low voice: "If my brother is with me, then I might as well go out of the valley."

Bai Qi laughed, he thought for a while, indeed, the two of them seemed a bit restrained, Xiao Su couldn't play well, and it wasn't easy for him to ask what he wanted to ask.

"It's done." Finally, Bai nodded, rolled up the little girl's sleeves, tapped the mantra on her wrist, and said: "The mantra is given to you by Master, if something happens, remember to call me, don't worry about it. Just yell if you scare anyone, Xiao Su must ensure her own safety no matter how she plays, how about it?"

The little girl's eyes lit up all of a sudden: "It's done! I'll find you when I've had enough fun!"

"We don't have to go back when you've had enough fun." Bai Qi couldn't help but smile, and finally emphasized the time with her. "One hour at most. The money in this bag is Zhao Guo's currency. If you see something you like, you can buy it. Anyway, it is the most redundant thing in Guigu."

Lian Su took the bag and ran away happily, Bai Qi watched the little junior sister run away quickly and disappeared after a while, after a little relief, he turned and left.

... After that war, he really wanted to see what the country had become.

****

If another disciple from Ghost Valley was standing here, he would have to say that the bad habits of the junior sister in the mountains were accidentally brought to Handan City.

... She didn't walk well on the ground, she was on the roof.

This is also good: ordinary people generally do not look up at the roof, she is slender and fast, and others can only see a shadow at a glance, usually as a wild cat or other animal running somewhere.

There are not a few children in Handan City, they gather together in twos and threes, and the games they play are skipped by even Su's eyes; Even from Su's point of view, she certainly hopes to play with her peers...

But the biggest problem is that she was born in Ghost Valley, and the people around her are often appointed as princes and ministers, and anyone who is taken out is a top talent who can stir up the situation.

To put it bluntly, even she was invisibly raised by senior brothers, and children from ordinary families and even ordinary noble children looked down upon her.Not to mention playing together, it might be difficult for her to listen to them patiently.

So she ran around on the roofs of the houses, watching the process of these children playing with each other from a height, and finally came to a conclusion——

Little kids outside are no fun.

But even such Lian Su also saw a very interesting boy.

She squatted on the roof of a house, watching condescendingly several boys in luxurious clothes and jade ornaments gathered together to bully another thin boy.

A child's heart is pure, if he likes it, he likes it very much, but if he hates it, he also hates it very much. Boys of this age shouldn't have such deep hatred. It's not like a conflict between themselves, but it seems to be subtle from their parents. Infected feelings.

The intensity with which they beat people really seemed to have some kind of blood feud with the boy lying on the ground, but they obviously restrained their own strength. After beating for a while, these boys left resentfully, and stayed behind. Lian Su on the top looked at it for a while, and after confirming that those boys had indeed gone far away and would not come back, he lightly jumped from above to the ground.

Seeing that the beating was so fierce, the boy lying on the ground only suffered some minor injuries. He stretched his arms and was just about to get up, when he handed a white and delicate palm in front of him, which was soft and light like a girl. Ling's soft voice penetrated into his ears.

"Why did they beat you?"

The movement of the boy getting up was almost impossible to detect because of this hand. The dusty and bruised hand held the girl's hand unceremoniously. After getting up from the ground, he sat directly on the ground and rubbed it casually. Rubbing the bruise on the corner of her mouth: "Their father hates my father, and they dare not do anything to me publicly, so they can only come here to vent their anger in private."

"Oh." Xiao Liansu seemed to understand.

"What about you?" The boy approached her very familiarly, "Ask me why none of the people who were beaten were from the local area. Where did you come from?"

Lian Su blinked and said vaguely, "From my house."

The boy froze: "...well, this answer is not a problem."

He turned his head away as if he didn't want to continue talking, but Lian Su suddenly became interested in him again: this man has a handsome face and excellent bones, with clear and stable eyes, and he is not the kind raised by ordinary people who need to suffer from hunger Child, Lian Su stretched out a finger and poked his arm, under the shabby clothes was a body that had obviously been exercised.

The girl raised her eyebrows: "...Oh."

...This is a bit interesting.

She rolled her eyes, and suddenly took out a fruit from her pocket and handed it to the boy: "Little brother, do you want to eat fruit?"

The boy didn't care too much, just took it and stuffed it into his mouth.

Lian Su said quietly: "You are not afraid of being poisoned."

The other party replied: "Anyway, there will be many people who will poison me to death, and I am hungry."

Lian Su was taken aback, then took out a small bag of fruit as if by magic: "That's all for you."

The boy took the bag, picked out the biggest one and handed it to Lian Su: "Aren't you going to eat it yourself?"

"No." The girl shook her head, "I'm not hungry."

"You are so strange," the boy bit the fruit with a cracking sound: "What's your name?"

"Well, Lian Su." Lian Su's eyes were fixed on the side of the boy's face, and he asked, "What's the little brother's name?"

"My surname is Zhao, you can call me Ah Zheng."

"...surname Zhao?"

Zhao Zheng asked inadvertently, "What's wrong?"

The girl's head shook like a rattle. "It's okay, it's just that the master won't let me play with the surname Ying, and said that if he finds out, he will break the opponent's leg in front of me as a warning."

"Oh." Zhao Zheng nodded nonchalantly, but heaved a sigh of relief.

... Thank you Guiguzi for not being interested in these messy details, and only remembering the name Ying Zheng.
