Emperor Qin

After crossing the Yellow River and heading north to Panyang, the weather became colder and colder.

It is very close to Handan, only more than 100 miles away, and not far away is the Southern Great Wall of Zhao State.

The Great Wall of Zhao was built on the hills along the riverside. The Great Wall is not very high. If you don’t count the terrain, it is easy to climb at a height of four meters. It is mainly built along the Zhang River, which can block Wei and Qin from the south. It is a pity that King Zhao Wuling, who built the Great Wall of Zhao, never dreamed that since the Great Wall was built for nearly a hundred years, there has not been a single major battle fought from the south of the Great Wall—after all, in the opinion of King Zhao On the left is the Taihang Mountain, the "spine of the world". Several dangerous exits are in Shangdang County, which belongs to South Korean land. As long as the southern Great Wall is guarded, Handan will have no worries.

This has led to the fact that the people of Zhao State now hate South Korea for not losing to Qin. If it weren’t for South Korea’s 25-year-old boy who let Qin Jun pass through Shangdang every time, Zhao State would be bullied by Qin State every now and then, especially 40 years ago. The disaster in Shangdang County was diverted to the east, and the Changping War was fought, and [-] Zhao Jiaerlang were cheated.

At this time, the South Great Wall has been completely empty. According to the villagers here, half a month ago, the Qin army occupied this place and collected their food. A few days ago, the Qin army suddenly withdrew its troops, and Zhao Jun returned There was no time to return to defense, so So Kong was there.

Yan Jiang was curious for a while, so he took Fusu and set foot on the still intact Great Wall of Zhao. It was not built of huge stones like the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty, but built of rammed earth, with straw in the soil and unfinished parts on the battlements. Washed away blood and discarded weapons.

There is an unpleasant smell of rancidity under the Great Wall. The Qin army who occupied this place threw Zhao Zu’s body directly under the city. In the distance is a withered river beach and dense mountains. After 2000 years, there are no traces of this section of the Great Wall. .

Yan Jiang took out his sketchbook and drew this section of the Great Wall in the cold wind.

Fusu stepped on Huahua's back, leaned on the city wall and looked into the distance. The world is so big, how long will it take to see it all?

"Don't stay in the wind all the time, be careful of the cold." Yan Jiang greeted casually, and was worried again. If he didn't meet Qin Jun, Fusu would not go back for the time being.

Fusu came down obediently and warmed herself in Huahua's belly. At this moment, the sky became dark and snowflakes began to fall.

Yan Jiang stopped writing and sighed, he had to stay in Panyang City for a few days.

It was snowing heavily and it was dangerous to drive in such conditions.

Afterwards, Huahua and Yan Jiang skillfully prepared for the winter. The mountain not far away is a branch of Taihang, and there are plenty of wild animals. Flying with Huahua is much better than hunting dogs. In addition, Yan Jiang's understanding of animal habits, The harvest was rich, and Fusu got a shredded fur cloak, rabbit fur hat, rabbit fur gauntlets, fox fur neckerchief, moccasin boots and a warm goatskin cushion.

"I was also a wild animal protection back then... People's hearts are so changeable~" Yan Jiang marinated the meat, and at the same time lamented that he would change to a modern one. He was definitely made a major case by the forest police. Role.

Fusu couldn't understand, so he habitually put on a puzzled expression and tilted his head.

The way the child was wrapped in fur and tilted his head was so cute that Yan Jiang's fluffy control couldn't help it at all, he pulled him into his arms and gave him a good rub before letting go.

After finishing these things, it was delayed for another seven days in Zhaodi, and snowflakes were already falling in the sky.

Among the few of them, Ahuang still consumes the most. He needs a bucket of beans to satisfy his diet. In addition, Yan Jiang is not restrained all the way. It's day.

Fusu's math has improved a lot recently, and she is very worried about it: "One or two gold, three pieces of sugar, and fine salt are all used by you to marinate meat. How can you waste it like this?"

He has recently learned how expensive salt is. The price of one tael of salt in Zhao is worth half a stone of rice. This is because Zhao is close to Qi, and Qi makes salt!

Yan Jiang was feeding meat to His Majesty, when he heard this, he just smiled and did not refute.

"Also, Ah Huang is not the one who eats the most, but it is the one that eats the most!" Fusu pointed to His Majesty the Owl who was eating lamb.

His Majesty was shot inexplicably and almost choked. He glanced back for a moment, full of the anger of the emperor.

Yan Jiang just laughed twice, and said: "Handan is coming, don't worry. As long as there are people, I won't cheat, cough, and make money."

"If you had mastered the secret recipe for making paper, you would have become as rich as Lu Xiang." Fu Su still felt sorry for him, "Why would you worry about such a small amount of money? Why don't I tell my father to reward you with a title ?”

"It's not necessary. If I seek profits based on paper, I will naturally be rich in the world, but the energy involved will trap my whole body there, and the gain is not worth the loss." Yan Jiang smiled and tore his majesty's flesh, "Money is enough But, any more are just a burden on my way forward, Ah Su, in life, you have to distinguish what is most needed."

"Furthermore," he smiled slightly, his brows full of disdain, "if I want money, even your father will send it to me immediately."

His Majesty suddenly raised his head, his eyes were burning, and he almost wanted to say how much you want, and the treasury is up to you.

Fu Su also nodded immediately: "Sir, you are right. Asu is shallow. If you want anything, I will immediately edit the book and ask my father to send it to you."

Yan Jiang rubbed his head and continued to feed His Majesty: "It's too early to say that."

He thought that the king would not be so reckless in the future, but that was for the future.

His Majesty disliked his half-spoken words, angrily patted off his meat, and refused to eat it.

Yan Jiang chuckled, squatted in front of it, spread his hands, put the shredded meat under its beak, and looked at it expectantly.

Yan Jiang comforted it for a while, seeing that it ignored it, he had no choice but to ask him one by one what he wanted to hear.

Finally asked why it nodded, it was funny for a while, but it could only be comforted by stroking it, but its eyes became more serious, and there was no compromise at all.

Looking at each other for a long time, he finally bowed his head, smiled in the serious eyes of the owl, and said, "I want peace in the world, prosperity of the country and peace of the people. Now, King Qin can't give it to me."

Owl froze.

Qin Jun was not found, and Yan Jiang didn't bother to search everywhere in Zhaodi. Winter was not the time to rush, so he decided to nest in Handan for a month, and wait until December passed and the weather turned warmer before trying to figure out a solution.

Thinking of this, he took the carriage and went north to Handan. He stopped and stopped because of the snow for more than 100 miles. To take a ride, Yan Jiang agreed, but he didn't let him into the carriage, but let him sit in front and drive the horse with him.

The young man called himself Zuo Che, he was fourteen or fifteen years old, and he came to Handan from Dai. Unexpectedly, a few days ago, the Qin army rushed to Zhao, and all the cities in Zhao were closed. , Qin Jun left these two days, guessing that Handan should open the city, so he prepared to go there.

Yan Jiang said that he was a scholar traveling and wanted to come to Handan to learn more.

The two of them talked about the battle of Zhao State along the way, and they both thought that there would be no major event. Zuo Che felt that it was a pity that Zhao Jun had worked so hard for two years, and the city of Yan State that had been conquered by Zhao Jun might be returned to its original owner. Then he habitually scolded Qin Guo a few words, saying that it was a long journey.

Yan Jiang also agreed with his words, but he was not optimistic about the attack on Yan State: "Yan land is bitterly cold, and Donghu Tower is harassing, even if it is occupied, once Qin's army arrives, the defense is empty, so it still cannot defend. "

Zuo Che disagreed with him, saying that General Li Mu had guarded the northern border for 20 years and wiped out [-] Xiongnu. All the tribes in the grassland dared not invade the Central Plains. With him, it would be difficult to think about anything on the border of Yan.

Yan Jiang regretfully said: "Now that Qin is powerful, General Li Mu is afraid that he will go south."

Zuo Che immediately objected: "This is impossible. If there is no General Li in the north, the people of that generation would not agree. Besides, Pang Nuan of Zhao State defeated the Qin army several times. Although General Pang Nuan is old, he is already a warrior If you get his true biography, you will not be afraid of the Qin army."

Yan Jiang didn't argue with him, he could only smile.

Zuo Che sighed again: "I think back then, Zhao Guowu had Zhao She, Lian Po, and Pang Nuan, and Wen had Lin Xiangru, Le Cheng, and Lord Ping Yuan. Now these famous ministers and generals are getting old, but they are enlisted by hundreds of thousands of Qin soldiers. No one's land, let others knead."

Yan Jiang was about to speak, when he suddenly clenched his fist again, and said proudly: "But this is the time when I am waiting for the rise of newcomers, and when I become a general, I will definitely be able to show off the power of Zhao Guo's iron cavalry!"

Yan Jiang nodded in agreement, and then asked, "Is that Handan?"

Zuo Che's eyes lit up: "Exactly!"

A big city in the distance is already far away, the city wall is three feet high, the city wall is mottled, and defects of different shades can be seen everywhere, but it is still domineering. The gates of the three cities are all several meters high. In this cold weather, people come and go. The queue to enter the city at the gate was very long. Occasionally, luxurious chariots and horses entered and exited through the middle gate. It seemed that only nobles could enter and leave.

Seeing this, the left car thanked him, got out of the car and went straight, whispered a few words to the city gate guard, and then entered the city without queuing.

"Left car?" Yan Jiang thought for a while, but he had no impression of the name, and then he couldn't help laughing. The history books are like knives, and those who can be named are not the ones who occupy a place in the world. No matter how expensive these ordinary nobles are No matter how strong it is, it is just a page in the history book to set off the protagonist.

Fusu put on a rabbit fur hat and stuck out his head: "Sir, is this Handan?"

"Yeah, hey, your accent..." Yan Jiang couldn't help laughing, and he realized that Fusu's accent was actually very similar to that of the surrounding crowd, it was the accent of Zhao Guo.

Fu Su giggled and said, "Father has been here for ten years, and he often talks to me like this."

Yan Jiang remembered that the King of Qin had been a hostage for ten years and grew up here, but...but after he took Handan, he came back here in person and killed all the nobles who bullied their mother and son.

It is also very vengeful.

But that should be ten years later.

Today's Zhao State is still very strong from the outside. More than 20 years ago, Qin State besieged Handan with the power of Changping's great victory, and it was about to take Zhao State. Sheng showed his ability as one of the four sons of the Warring States Period, and brought Mao who recommended himself to the Chu State, scolded the Chu King who was unwilling to send troops to rescue him, and revealed that his family was occupied by the Qin State and burned down. The scar of the ancestral temple received reinforcements from the Chu State.

Then Zhao Wang bribed Qi Wang with the six cities that should have been cut off to Qin, and Qi sent troops to save face.

At the same time, Prince Pingyuan's brother-in-law Wei Gongzi Wuji also went to steal Wei Wang's soldier amulet and led troops to rescue Zhao.

In this way, the Three Kingdoms rescued Zhao, and Yan Han was left to watch everyone go, so he also sent a few small soldiers to follow behind and shout 666, and by the way picked up a few cities when the coalition army defeated the Qin army.

Since then, Zhao Guo has been trying to be strong. First, he defeated Yan Guo, then made friends with him, and defeated Qin Guo twice. The state of Qin has been stable for nearly ten years, until now, King Qin is in charge.

"It's a pity that the King of Qin didn't follow the routine." Yan Jiang couldn't help laughing when he thought of King Qin's strategy of secretly using money to open the way and using a large army to overwhelm the border. Drove forward.

At this time, it was getting late, and an owl poked its head out from the curtain, silently looking at the tall city wall, holding its head with its wings, and fell into deep thought.

so cute!Yan Jiang couldn't help but hugged it in his arms, and inserted the icy hand holding the rein into the baby's warm wing roots.

The owl was displeased at first, then looked up at the sky helplessly, squinted slightly, and let him go.

This person, when will he be able to treat everyone equally?
