Remember [ ] in a second to provide you with wonderful novel reading.

PS: I recommend a novel "The Great Liang Han Riding". This book was written by a roommate in July. It tells the story of the former Liang established by the Han people during the period of the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms. It should be a theme that has never been written before. The first few chapters may imitate Spring and Autumn, but I have written my own style later, which is worth looking forward to. I hope readers can watch it in July and collect it in the past. Thank you here in July!

...

In the eighth year of Zhaohou Wuxi (481 BC), Bairen County, Dongyang County.

Standing in his thirties, he is not confused at forty. When the 39-year-old Zhao Wuxi stood in front of the threshold of the age of no confusion, what appeared in front of him was the regret of the unfulfilled great cause, and the hardships of those who traveled a hundred miles.

After the meeting of Huangchi, the state of Zhao established hegemony, the princes began to kill troops, and the peace has lasted for four years.

The peace of the past four years has benefited Zhao State a lot. At least the economy that has been hovering on the brink of collapse has finally developed into a healthy development under the adjustment of Ji Ran, Zigong, farmers and merchants. The debts owed have been paid off one after another. A good year made the Changping warehouse full of food, and the population grew. It can be expected that in the past ten years, it is possible for the population of Zhao to double. And those newly conquered lands, although small resistance continued, were considered to be included in the orbit of Zhao State.

The most important thing is that Zhao Wuxi used Zhang Mengtan as his prime minister, and after completing the "cars on the same track and books on the same text" for the State of Lu, the State of Zhao finally found an excuse last year and moved the Marquis of Lu to the ancestral temple. The city where he is located is the owner of the city, but he also retains his status as a monarch, so that he can offer the last incense for Duke Zhou and Bo Qin. The entire State of Lu was annexed by the State of Zhao and divided into three counties: Taishan, Lu County, and Linyi. In addition, the monarch of Sanzhu was deposed and Zou County was established. As a result, Zhao Wuxi had more than a thousand miles of land and more than one million inhabitants, and Zhao State had almost unified most of the Central Plains.

In this way, the Zhongshan country, which spans Taihang and separates Taiyuan from Hebei, is particularly unsightly.

This country established by Xianyu Baidi as the main body has been trying to integrate into the Central Plains, but the process is extremely slow.

The new king of Zhongshan is the prince Yan who proposed to Zhao four years ago, but was humiliated by his younger sister Zhao Wuxi. Because of Zhao Jia's incident, Zhao Wuxi was a little angry at him. Just when he succeeded to the throne, Zhongshan was unstable, so Zhao Guo's Anzi Zhai Fengtu, who had been nailed in Zhongshan, suddenly attacked and raised the flag of uprising in Fei County. , announced to take refuge in Zhao State.

This move provoked Zhongshanzi to send troops to quell the rebellion, and Zhao Guo used the pretext that Zhongshan wanted to betray Zhao and blatantly sent troops to conquer!

As a result, the prelude to the battle between Zhao and Zhongshan was opened, which was the first large-scale use of troops by Zhao in the past four years.

In the summer season, the army is about to swear to march, but when Zhao Wuxi stepped on the back of a long-lost horse, he was surprised to find that he had come back to life.

...

The so-called bun is the fat on the inner thighs. For middle-aged people who are prone to gaining weight, if they don’t exercise regularly and ride horses, they will be born again. This little brawn reminds Zhao Wuxi that time is like water, the sun and the moon are wasted, and he has been in this era for nearly 25 years, and Zhao Wuxi can't help but be filled with emotion.

"The widow has been fighting in the south and the north. For a long time, the body has not been separated from the saddle, and the fat on the thighs has dissipated, and it is strong and strong. But in the blink of an eye, four years have passed, Zhao Guocheng has been in peace for a long time, and the widow rarely fights in person, even on the field to fight. The number of times of polo is also less, and I live comfortably in Yecheng, so that the flesh is resurrected..."

But this didn't stop him. Lian Po was old and could still eat. How could he, a prime-age monarch, be so depressed?

Zhao Wuxi decided that he could no longer be worn out like a dull sword, so he resolutely decided to go for it himself!

The reason for the expedition was not only that Zhongshan was relatively close to Zhao's homeland, so Zhao Wuxi didn't have to run too far, but also because he attached great importance to Zhongshan.

Not only is it because of the strategic position of Zhongshan State, it is entrenched in Changshan and Zhending areas, which are called "the eye of the world" in later generations. Here, Yan and Hao can be threatened in the north, and Taiyuan and Daijun can be approached in the west.

Also because in the original history, the Xianyu Zhongshan Kingdom was destroyed and revived several times. King Wuling of Zhao destroyed Zhongshan and recruited 200,000 people, which took several years. Although the current Xianyu Zhongshan is far from being compared with the Zhongshan Kingdom that "defeats Qi in the east, Yan in the north, and Zhao in the south" during the Warring States Period, it is also a formidable opponent.

Zhongshan said that it is not big or small, and that a site of 500 miles is equivalent to the territory of a county in the state of Zhao. Except for the plains where the Hutuo River flows, many places are mountainous. In addition, the land is thin and the people are small, and most of the Rong and Di who were squeezed by the Jin state have flowed into Zhongshan. These Rong and Di people who have not yet fully become Chinese are sturdy and advocating private fights. How can a population of more than 300,000 recruit 20,000 soldiers come out.

Therefore, Zhao Wuxi did not care too much, and summoned Dongyang, Hejian, Yecheng, Taiyuan, and Hanoi, and each of the four counties, 50,000 horses, and 5,000 Yan troops in the north to assist the attack, almost besieging Zhongshan.

The Zhao army was divided into three routes. The army of the south route was led by Zhao Wuxi, and the soldiers of various counties converged in Handan and Bairen. Shi Qi led the right army, Yang Hu led the left army, and Dong Brown led the middle army, attacking Gu and Fei. The northern route army was led by Xinzhigou to attack the hill of poor fish, and the western route army was led by Youcheng, out of Qiuyou County, and attacked Jingxing.

Under the guidance of Zhai Fengtu and other tribes, the army of the South Road was in full swing, and obtained the towns of Drum, Fei, Ba, Shiyi, Dongyuan, etc., and attacked the Hutuo River, and looked northward to Lingshou, the capital of Zhongshan. The North Road, which was dominated by Tu Hebing, also successfully broke through the hill of poor fish, merged with the army of Yan State, and began to attack the Zuoren and Zhongren of the northern gate of Lingshou. Only the Western Army from Taiyuan was blocked by Jingxing and struggled.

But even so, Zhongshan has lost nearly half of its land, and Zhongshanzi had no choice but to ask to cede the land for peace.

However, Zhao Wuxi refused to allow it. Although it was the rainy season, Zhao's army was temporarily unable to advance to the cities in the hinterland of Zhongshan, which was densely covered with hills. However, as long as the weather improved a little, it was only a matter of time before Zhongshan was destroyed.

Now, Zhao Wuxi has regarded Feixian as his base camp. After the rainy season is over and Youcheng has also broken through Jingxing, he will join forces with Lingshou on three paths and end the war with a destructive battle!

"Although they are losing ground in the field, the soldiers of Zhongshan should not be underestimated. Their craftsmanship skills are amazing, and they have already mastered the art of smelting iron. There are still 300 Xianyu warriors in Lingshou City to imitate Zhao's iron armored army. Fighting with an iron rod, it is said that everything that is struck is broken, and everything that is punched is not trapped..."

On this day, it was raining lightly outside, and he was discussing the strategy of taking Zhongshan with the generals. At this time, someone from outside came to report that a scholar was caught outside Feicheng. He said that he wanted to see Zhao Wuxi for something important. report.

"Scholar? I'm afraid they came from Zhongshan to seek refuge."

Like the Baidi in Shangjun, the Baidi in Hebei are also divided into many tribes, the Xianyu clan is the largest, followed by Gu, Fei, and Qiuyou. Yu will be defeated, and many tribes have begun to show their goodwill to Zhao Wuxi. In the eyes of the few taxis in Zhongshan, especially the literati, the prosperous Huaxia has a more sense of belonging than Zhongshan, which still retains some Di people's customs. In addition, Zhao Wuxi's song "Song to Wine" is widely circulated. , so that the scholars who came to defect were like crucian carp crossing the river.

Today's military meeting was almost over, so Zhao Wuxi asked the generals to go down and restrain the soldiers. Midsummer was a good season for germs to breed, and epidemic prevention work had to be done.

And he was sitting in the tent, listening to the raindrops hitting the cowhide on the top of the tent, and waiting for the scholar to be brought in by Yulinwei.

A foot of mud, water stains all over his body, an ordinary cloth crown, and a tattered umbrella. When the skinny scholar who was over 500 years old was brought in, Zhao Wuxi took a brief look and found that his appearance and temperament had nothing to do with him. What's special about him is that he salutes carefully after seeing Zhao Wuxi, which shows that he has been trained in noble etiquette and can barely be regarded as a scholar.

"Sir, I don't know what to call him or where he came from." According to the usual practice, Zhao Wuxi just asked casually and didn't have any expectations. In this era, there are famous and surnamed people who can leave a trace in the history. He already knows about the same. .

The scholar had already tidy up his clothes, but there were still some raindrops on his goatee. Facing Zhao Wuxi's question, he bowed respectfully and said, "The villain is from Jibei, named Tuo, because he lives at home. Dongguo, so I take Dongguo as my clan, and the villagers call me Mr. Dongguo..."

Zhao Wuxi didn't care much at first, but when he heard this, he suddenly regained his spirits. He looked at him carefully, and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Mr. Dongguo.

"No, the villain has always disliked being an official, and he entered the Zhao camp today to implore Zhao Hou to stop conquering Zhongshan!" Mobile users, please browse and read for a better reading experience.
