In the Spring and Autumn and Warring States without women

As soon as Han Hu received the news that the vanguard of the Yan army had attacked Han and plundered food and grass, he almost went crazy.

Unlike the Zhao family and the Wei family, the Han family is actually a bit special.

At the beginning of the Zhao family of Jin State, Zhao Shuai, who was granted the title of Shangqing, was an old minister who fled to various countries with Duke Wen of Jin State. He was also an old minister who was very talented and highly valued. There was a catastrophe of extermination of the family, there was an orphan of the Zhao family, and it was revived again later, so the Zhao family has always been a noble status, so that the Zhao family or Zhao people have the natural "dominant spirit" of an old overlord like Jin. , This kind of character made the Zhao family compete with Qin State after the founding of the country, and Zhao Wuling Wang Hufu rode and shot, and defeated Qin State more than once on the battlefield.

Wei Ji, the ancestor of the Wei family in the state of Jin, was also a courtier who fled with Duke Wen of Jin, but Wei Ji had a relatively low status at that time, and he was not considered an important official. He was far worse than the Zhao family who chose Zhao Shuan. It took several generations of descendants to struggle to become the Duke of Jin. Therefore, the Wei family has always been very aggressive. After the Wei family established the country, Wei Wenhou reformed and worked hard to rule, becoming the first prince to dominate in the Warring States Period.

Among the nations, only the Han family has almost never heard of any famous generals or ministers. The Han family is good at farming and making weapons, especially bows and swords. When Xia Yu ruled the country of Yan, he founded the Industrial and Agricultural School In front of the palace, the bows and arrows and swords of the Han family are the ones that control all countries. Let’s look at the geographical location of the Han family. Well, there is the Zhao family on the back, blocking the attack of Rongdi in the grassland for him. It is inevitable that Wei Guo will block the powerful enemy for him Chu State’s attack, except before the time when everyone was unlucky at the end of the Warring States Period and was beaten by Qin State, basically, the surrounding areas were relatively stable compared with other countries, but this also indirectly caused One consequence is that Han's army is weak in combat effectiveness.

Han Hu also knew that the Han family was weaker than the Wei family and the Zhao family, so he was anxious, and the continuous military reports describing the actions of the Yan army in Han made Han Hu even more anxious.

Unlike Zhao's defenders who set fire to the granary, Han's defenders didn't have the guts. There were many cities and villages without city walls. When the Yan army came, they were almost wiped out. The defenders didn't have the integrity to surrender. Most of them resisted desperately. If they couldn't resist... they surrendered again.

The strategies of the Yan army in Zhao and Han were also very different. In Zhao, the Yan army attacked many cities, and thereafter they did not commit any crimes. In Han, the Yan army did not commit any brutal acts, such as massacres, etc., but The Yan army civilizedly packed up all the food, grass, all the goods and military equipment of all the people in Han, looted them all, and took them back to the country of Yan.

The Han land captured by the Yan army was completely clean except for those people who fled into the mountains and forests, and there was no hair on anyone.

Han Hu was in a hurry. At this time, the Han family's army was going south to join forces with the Wei family to attack the Zhi family. Han's defense was empty, and successive battle reports were sent to the case table. Han Hu instantly scolded Zhao Wuxie in his heart. , Thinking: You let us go south, you go to resist the Yan army, now the Yan army has hit us in Han, how did you resist! ?You are not paying attention at all, are you?

Thinking about it this way, Han Hu broke out in a cold sweat instantly, and couldn't help secretly suspecting that in fact Zhao Wuxie just wanted to lure the Yan people to weaken the Han family's strength. Unable to sit still, he told Wei Ju directly that he wanted to bring someone back to Handi.

When Wei Ju heard Han Hu's statement, he felt that he wanted to expose the case, so he resisted the urge to yell.

With the crisis of the Han family, will his life be easier for the Wei family?Among the three families of Han, Zhao and Wei, the Wei family and the Zhi family have the largest border area. He, Han Hu, took people away, and left him to fight the Zhi family alone?

You must know that although Zhiyao is talented but has no virtue, talent is talent after all. Talented people are usually a little arrogant, and they look down on incompetent people. Zhiyao has been in power for many years. In addition to blackmailing the ministers internally and expanding externally, most of the appointments of the Zhi clan are capable ministers, and most of the clan members are capable clan members. Zhiyao is arrogant, and the members of the Zhi clan are also relatively arrogant. Zhiyao has been pretending to be his grandson in front of Zhishi for a long time, and now he is asked to lead the Wei family alone to attack Zhishi. To be honest, his confidence is really lacking.

Originally, Zhao Wuxie led the army to go north, and the Han family went south with him, and most of the main force of the Zhi family was wiped out at the city of Jingyang. Wei Ju was still full of courage. At this time, when he heard that Han Hu was leaving, Wei Ju panicked instantly After the panic, there was anger, suppressing the anger, and when he was about to persuade Han Hu not to leave, someone outside the tent pushed away the guards and broke in. Wei Ju took a closer look and found that it was his eldest son, Weiss.

Weiss looked at Han Hu, made a long bow, and said, "Han Bo can go, I, Wei, will take care of the Zhi family's affairs."

Han Hu couldn't bear it anymore, now he heard what Wei Si said, he hastily apologized to Wei Ju, and said: "This is the case at home, I'm going to die, I have to go first, I'm ashamed. "

After the apologetic salute, Wei Ju got up and left in a hurry without giving Wei Ju time to react. Wei Ju stared at the scene dumbfounded, and before he could stop him, Han Hu had disappeared.

Seeing that he couldn't stop it, Wei Ju was furious, and since Han Hu had already left, he turned to his eldest son and yelled at him, saying, "Nizi, how dare you let your father decide!? You let Han go away!" , should we let the Wei family fight the Zhi family by ourselves?"

Hearing his father's reprimand, Weiss immediately knelt down, bowed to the ground, and said, "Father let me tell you, how dare you make decisions on behalf of your father? The reason why Si thinks that Mrs. Han should be allowed to leave at this time is because Mrs. Han left at this time." Going north is more important than staying here."

Wei Ju frowned tightly, looked at his eldest son who was kneeling on the ground in humility, for a long time, he waved his sleeves, and said, "What do you mean?"

Wei Si said: "Father, our country of Jin is at the moment of survival. Han, Zhao and Wei are all in danger. At this time, we should focus on the overall situation."

Seeing the impatience in Wei Ju's eyes, and his anger getting heavier, Weiss sighed in his heart, stopped talking about righteousness, and turned his attention to pros and cons, saying: "Father, do you feel that the current situation is a situation where a soldier with sufficient food and energy is as powerful as you are?" Is Hong's Yan army more terrifying, or is Zhishi, whose main force has been wiped out by us, with only a few remnants sticking to the fiefdom?"

Wei Ju said without thinking: "Of course it is Yan Jun." After saying this, Wei Ju seemed to understand something at once.

Weiss lowered his eyes slightly, and said: "The Han family is in charge of the Yan army in the north, and we must break through the remaining forces of the Zhi family in the south as soon as possible, so as to solve the current crisis."

Wei Ju was not overjoyed, and said: "My son makes sense," then frowned and said, "This... Zhishi is not easy to get."

Weiss bowed again and said, "Father, please lead the troops to attack the Zhi family."

Wei Ju was taken aback, and said, "You... Si'er, you have never led an army before."

Weiss got up, his face was a little pale at this time, but he was very firm, and said: "Today, our Jin country is in such a critical situation, and our Han Zhaowei is in such a situation, how can I spare myself, and I am willing to go to the battlefield in person , Dedicated loyalty and wisdom, attacked and wiped out the remnants of the Zhi clan, and quelled the crisis of our Han, Zhao and Wei."

Wei Ju looked at his eldest son. Although the internal affairs of the Wei family have been entrusted to this son for so many years, and he has always been in good order. Most of the retainers and people call Wei's heir a virtuous, but at this moment, Wei Ju realizes that his eldest son is not only a virtuous , also very courageous and broad-minded, involuntarily, Wei Ju was a little lost in thought, the Wei family was just guarding the city in his hands and in his father's hands, maybe the future, in the hands of this son, can be expected.

The temperature in the north is always colder than that in the south. Even if it is not yet winter, people's clothes will not be thin. Zhao Wuxie stood on a rock, looking at the vast forest in the distance, the vast land, with his eyes closed , feeling the figure quietly approaching behind him, said lightly: "Are you here to kill me?"

Yu Rang approached quietly holding the dagger when he heard Zhao Wuxie's sudden utterance, he was taken aback for a moment, he thought his footsteps were light enough, but he was discovered by the other party, seeing Zhao Wuxie piercing himself, but he still didn't turn his head, Just standing there, even the breath seemed to be very peaceful, Yu Rang thought whether this Zhao Wuxie had some tricks, and he was a little unsure whether to act hastily.

Zhao Wuxie turned around, looked at Yu Rang, with a calm expression, even rolled up his sleeves, sat on the rock where he was standing, and said, "You came very early."

Yu Rang stood there with a blank expression, and after a long time asked in a hoarse voice: "How did you find me approaching? My steps are very light."

Zhao Wuxie said lightly: "Your steps are light, but your killing intent is heavy."

Yu Rang stared at Zhao Wuxie, with strong emotions surging in his eyes, that kind of strong killing intent was enough to make a timid person back up and turn around to run away, but Zhao Wuxie was still very indifferent, looking at him indifferently. Yu Rang's skin that festered like manges due to lacquer asked: "When Zhiyao died, many of his former followers flocked to him, why would you rather ruin your face, hurt your throat, and pretend to be Zhao's private servant?" Soldiers are coming to assassinate me too? Zhiyao is not the only master of yours. I heard that you were a retainer of the Fan family before joining Zhiyao, and later served as a retainer of the Zhongxing family. Why are you so loyal to Zhiyao alone? "

Yu Rang said in a voice hoarse from being scalded by charcoal fire: "I serve Fan and the Zhongxing clan. When Fan and the Zhongxing clan meet me, they will repay you. As for Zhibo, if the country's scholars meet me, I will repay them to the people of my old country."

Zhao Wuxie was silent for a moment when he heard Yu Rang's sentence "A scholar from the country meets me, and a scholar from my hometown repays him". Want to kill him."

Yurang is Zhiyao's confidant, he knows a lot of Zhiyao's secrets, and also knows all kinds of entangled feelings between Zhao Wuxie and Zhiyao. Hearing Zhao Wuxie's words at this time, he said hoarsely: "But you Finally killed him."

Zhao Wuxie sneered at himself, his eyes were slightly red, and he almost said to himself: "Yes, he died because of me."

With his eyes closed, Zhao Wuxie calmed down slightly, and said, "Yurang, you are from Jin."

Yu Rang was taken aback for a moment, not knowing why Zhao Wuxie moved here suddenly, he hesitated in his heart, but he still replied truthfully: "Yu Rang is a member of the Bi clan of Jin State."

Zhao Wuxie's expression returned to his usual dullness, and he said: "I don't know if I'm still a Jin minister, my father is a Jin minister, Han Bo is a Jin minister, and so is Uncle Wei, maybe Zhiyao is also a Jin minister , He is the last ruler of the Jin Kingdom, what about me? Maybe the official historian described me as an out-and-out rebellious minister, maybe I was just a joke."

Turning his head to look at this vast land, Zhao Wuxie also had the same confusion in his eyes, and said: "I never knew before, that even if the Jin Kingdom is in decline, even if we have driven the monarch out of the capital, even if we have expelled the government office The land was extorted cleanly, but the pride of the overlord country still remains in my blood. During this period of time, I watched the Yan army criss-crossing the land of my Zhao family, and my heart ached like a knife. I was thinking, back then Is it heartbreaking for my father to see the Qi State and the coalition forces of various countries burning, killing and looting on the land of the Jin State? Is it because Han Bo and Wei Shu have both witnessed that scene, so they are willing to give way to their father in every way, reluctantly supporting the bridge? A country that is collapsing."

Hearing Zhao Wuxie's emotion, Yu Rang didn't speak, but the hand holding the short sword didn't move.

Zhao Wuxie finally said: "Yurang, you are from Jin, right? I can let you kill me to avenge Zhiyao's lord, but first you will do your last loyalty to Jin with me. How about being a courtier together for the last time?"

Yu Rang ruined his face and swallowed paint and mixed into Zhao's army. During this period of time, he also had a good understanding of the current battle situation. He knew that Yan's army had split up to attack Han. The entire city failed to prevent the Yan army from going south, and the Zhao family faced the Yan army's oppression in the north, so it was inevitable that they would feel resentful towards the Zhao family. The Han people have always been good at farming, and the Han family has always been the one with the richest grain and grass storage in the Jin Dynasty. It is expected that the Yan army will not be able to fight for a long time from afar. At this time, the prolonged battle will be even more unfavorable to Han, Zhao and Wei, who are exhausted and will be lazy.

Zhao Wuxie felt tired. Everyone said that Zhao Wuxie was extremely tenacious, but at this moment, in such a situation, and the person in the past who might be near and far away, but also fought side by side and shared each other's burdens. The next head is still by his side, no one can tell, no one can share, Zhao Wuxie, who is extremely tough, only feels a sense of fatigue spreading from his heart, almost crushing him, so He made a decision, he would no longer swim but not fight and only attack the Yan army's grain road, and he would fight the Yan army decisively.

At this time, Yu Rang already somewhat understood what Zhao Wuxie meant, holding the dagger in his hand, Yu Rang said: "The members of the Zhi Clan are still sticking to the south."

Zhao Wuxie was taken aback for a moment, and then he understood Yurang's meaning. The Yan army was going south at this time, which made Han Zhaowei have to turn around and attack Zhishi. At the gate of Zhiyao, although Zhiyao died at this time, his son led the whole Zhi family to stick to the fief.

Zhao Wuxie laughed, laughed so loudly that tears fell down, and said: "I forgot, I almost forgot about it, haha, scholars work for their families, and Qing works for their clan. Haha, I have come to this point, I want to be a minister of Jin and a scholar of the state, but I forgot that although you Yurang is from Jin, you are a scholar of Zhiyao, a scholar of the Zhi clan, and you are loyal. The Zhi family is not the state of Jin, haha, I’m sorry, I’m making things difficult for others.”

Yu Rang just looked at Zhao Wuxie and laughed wildly. Suddenly, Yu Rang bowed and said: "I am willing to follow Zhao Qing to a decisive battle with the Yan army."

Zhao Wuxie was wiping away the tears from laughing, when he suddenly saw Yu Rang's attitude different from that of just now, he was very surprised, and said: "You...you just weren't..."

Yu Rang raised his head, looked at Zhao Wuxie with a faint killing intent in his eyes, and said: "If you are defeated, please allow me to kill you to avenge my lord."

Zhao Wuxie looked at Yu Rang, looked at Yu Rang's eyes full of killing intent, for a long time, and said calmly: "If I lose the battle, I promise you to behead me."
