Chapter 975: Zheng Han

A steady stream of refugees walked through the fields and over the fences, coming from the northwest to the southeast, trampling under the feet of uncultivated farmland.

Zhang Liang looked at the refugees' frightened eyes, stumbling steps, lost souls, and frowns.

This is a refugee from Sanchuanjing, Suo area, in the past also belonged to the land of Korea, the inhabitants are also mainly Koreans, Qin and Chu two armies confronted each other on the water, although there is no big war, but the scout cavalry is fighting, affecting the livelihood of the people in the surrounding hundreds of miles.

"They are reluctant to go to Xinzheng, but continue to go south because they know that Xinzheng will become a battlefield sooner or later......"

This is the wisdom of Zheng Han's people, and it is also the current situation of Zhang Liang's motherland, a land of many disasters and difficulties, and there has been little peace in the past 600 years.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, the four great powers of Qi, Chu, Jin, and Qin took Zheng Guo as the object of contention, and Zheng Guo was always stuck in the quagmire of great power hegemony.

Zhang Liang had read the classics by heart and knew that in the Spring and Autumn Period, there were about 300 wars. Among them, there are nearly 100 times that have affected Zheng Guo, with an average of one every three years. Of course, Zheng Guo generally appears as the target of violent beatings.

Jin Fang Tubo, enterprising the Central Plains, Chu is also immersed in the strong, the Northern Expedition is endless, Chen, Cai, Zheng, Xu is appropriate, Zheng's key point, especially first, China can reject Chu if Zheng has it, and Chu Zheng can peep into China. Therefore, Zheng Zhe, Jin and Chu must fight for the land.

The Battle of Chengpu, the Battle of Yanling, and the Battle of Yi were basically fought in the territory of Zheng State, as the so-called division is located, thorns are growing, and every time the battle is over, Zheng Guo will take many years to recover.

Zheng Ren once cried back then: "The natural disaster Zheng Guo made the intermediary between the two great powers." The big country does not add virtue, but chaos to demand, so that its ghosts and gods are not enshrined, its people do not enjoy its land benefits, and the husband and wife work hard and have nothing to say. "As a small country, in order to survive, they have to be the first rat at both ends, only the strong are obedient, the Qin and the twilight of Chu, the world says that the Zheng people are "greedy for profit, and abandon faith like soil", which is indeed their helplessness.

Only in this way can the people be sheltered.

Han destroyed Zheng and moved the capital to Xinzheng, but it seemed to inherit the curse on Zheng Guo. For more than 100 years, South Korea has remained a small country, caught in the midst of great powers, and has done its best to survive. Wei Qiang is based on Wei, Zhao Qiang is connected with Zhao, Qi Chuqiang is good friends with him, and in the era of Qin's strong and prosperous state, South Korea is a frequent visitor to Qin's camp.

Relying on this unprincipled attachment and currying favor, South Korea has only occasionally had a few years of peace......

And whenever there is no war, Xinzheng people will also seize the opportunity to enjoy life.

Qin and Wei, Fang is sluggish.

The convoy continued to move forward, the water was murmuring, and Xinzheng was approaching.

Zhang Liang is very familiar with this river, every early spring, the spring water flows, and the young people in Xinzheng City will come in groups of three or five, out of the city to Weishui. Everyone is wearing brand new spring clothes and dressed up in good spirits, because the meeting of the water is a blind date meeting that can be attended by no matter how noble or noble.

Scholars and women, Fang Bingxi, Weishi and women, Yi Qi scorned each other.

Zhang Liang and his younger brother were born in a famous family, their ancestors were handsome in the fifth generation, and Zhang Liang was more beautiful like a woman and behaved elegantly. Everyone is young, and the curtain is young, and there are countless women who throw spoons of medicine to show their love.

And Zheng Di folk style is unrestrained, there are often men and women to sing and dance and invite each other, the curtain is in real time, outside the Wei, Xun Xun is happy, Zhang Liang has also hugged left and right, around the flowers, which is wonderful, needless to say.

It's a pity that he was young and wandering, and he is gone forever. Those women who were close to him, Zhang Liang didn't even know that they were still alive now......

The once clear water has also become turbid, Wang Benjun and the Chu army have fought here, the corpses are piled up in the river, becoming filthy and stinking, and even causing a plague, Zhang Liang came to Xinzheng, organized manpower, and it was easy to clean up.

And last year, when the Chu army evacuated, it was like a locust in transit, eating up Xinzheng's grain stockpile, and thousands of dollars of rice and stone in the city. Zhang Liang could see that many people were fishing for fish and shrimp in the water at the moment, and when he saw a team coming from afar, his first reaction was to pull his legs and run.

panicked, like a frightened gully swallow, because they didn't know whether the people who came were Chu army, Qin army, or bandits, even if the city was next to it, it couldn't bring them a sense of security.

But there were also those who did not run, and a woman tried to approach the convoy, but was stopped by the attendants, but the woman recognized Zhang Liang, stood on her feet and shouted:

"Is it a gentleman in the ovary?"

The salutation, which he hadn't heard for nearly twenty years, made Zhang Liang stunned, and ordered the attendants to bring the woman over.

The woman in the jinghai cloth skirt, her hands and feet were wet, holding a seven or eight-year-old child with a hanging bun in one hand, and a dustpan in the other, obviously she was just panning for fish and shrimp in the water.

"You ......"

"The cheap concubine is Yan, and her family lives in Xinzheng Xili, the gentleman in the ovary may not remember, but the concubine remembers the gentleman."

Seeing that Zhang Liang was still at a loss, she said: "The concubine was in the spring outing of Weishui, and was pitied by the Zhongjun of the Zhang family, and she was going to accept me as a concubine, but Zhongjun died, and the matter was over, and the gentleman of the sub-room also left me money and silk, so that I could find a good family to marry......."

Zhang Liang remembered that this was one of the women who had an ambiguous relationship with his younger brother when he and his younger brother participated in the meeting of Weishui, and seemed to be still making out in the bushes, and when Zhang Liang found him, he was disheveled, covered his face and ran away.

It is common for the children of nobles to marry concubines as concubines, and it is enough to arrange for the housekeeper to handle it, but it is a pity that they were born in an era of drastic changes. Zhang Liang's younger brother was stronger than him, participated in the secret ranger organization to eradicate Han traitors, was surrounded by Qin officials, and died before his death in order not to affect the family......

Although Zhang Liang relied on bribes to get his body, he could not bury it publicly, and the family even pretended that his younger brother had gone to study in another country, ordering Zhang Liang to do everything as before, and his blood could only drip into his heart......

Scenes of the past emerged one after another, and Zhang Liang bowed: "Then ...... you later"

The woman said: "I married to a neighboring county and gave birth to two sons and two daughters, and then my husband died in the war, one son died of illness, and the two daughters could only be given away, and I went back to Xinzheng Niang's house, barely making a living, and I didn't want to see the gentleman again." ”

She said very calmly, without much compassion, and did not pretend to be pitiful to Zhang Liang, as if she was just dying a little pig and giving away two puppies......

Because they have seen so much death, they have become numb, they have become accustomed to it, and even they themselves do not know when they will fall, and they will never wake up again.

But for the things when she was young, Yan had some regrets: "It was the concubine who was blessed and failed to serve Zhongjun." “

She touched her rough face and was a little sad: "The concubine is old, like a withered mulberry leaf, ashamed to see Zhongjun." “

She looked at Zhang Liang's appearance again, and said with emotion: "The gentleman is the same as back then, beautiful Yao Ye, and his bearing is extraordinary, if Zhongjun is still here, it must be the same." “

How popular were the Zhang brothers back then? A woman should not be willing to be a husband, and a virgin should not be a soldier, and those who abandon their own family and want to run for others will rise side by side......

Zhang Liang didn't want to listen to it anymore, and when he saw that the child Yan was holding had a yellow face and thin muscles, he asked someone to give her a bag of food, and caught a glimpse of the coveted eyes of some refugees around him, and asked him to escort Yan back, so that when she couldn't go on, she came to him.

It's just that when the woman thanked her for saying goodbye, Zhang Liang couldn't help but asked her something that had been held in her heart for a long time.

"You think it's good to be in the past."

"Or is it better now?"

The woman replied as a matter of course: "Of course, Korea is still in good time." ”

She looked at the water in front of her, where Zheng Ren's youth had flowed, and her eyes were a little nostalgic: "At that time, Zhongjun was still there." “

Zhang Liangdao: "I am asking about the ten years that the Qin people ruled the Han land, and now. ”

The woman thought for a moment and replied, "It's better to be ten years or so!" “

She couldn't say anything big, or an example of the past stability and the current war, she only pointed to the Weishui Road:

"I'm afraid the gentleman of the ovary doesn't know, after the concubine returned to Xinzheng, she asked the people in the room, and they said that from the twenty-fourth year to the thirty-seventh year, the meeting of the ladies of the water scholars has been able to go uninterrupted for thirteen consecutive years, which is really envious......

"Thirteen years."

Zhang Liang was stunned, it was unbelievable, six hundred years, from Zheng Guo gaining a foothold in this land, and then Korea using it as the capital, to this day, the land of Zheng Han has never enjoyed such a long period of peace......

Thirteen years of peace is really a luxury for Zheng Guo, who is in turmoil every three years, and South Korea, which is about to be crossed by the Qin army every four or five years!

Zhang Liang was speechless for a long time, and finally shook his head and went to the city.

The city also learned of Zhang Liang's return, but the wide avenue was not as welcome as they had been when they "recovered" Xinzheng a few months ago, whether it was the hungry people sitting on the side of the road looking coldly at his car.

The excitement brought by the restoration of the country could not compare to the pain of hunger in the belly, and the Koreans soon left the "liberation" behind, this political victory did not bring benefits to ordinary people, and a series of turmoil followed, so that they could not help but miss the peaceful years of the Qin Dynasty's rule.

Refugees outside are running, Xinzheng is also withering, when the rich crown of the sea, Xinzheng, which was the world's famous capital, is now closed and people are panicking.

This scene is so similar to when Shi Teng came to attack South Korea......

In the year of the fall of Korea, Zhang Liang was only ten years old, young and vigorous, and he was going to kill the Qin people with his sword, if it wasn't for his uncle to let the servants tie up Zhang Liang, he would probably have been shot to death by the Qin crossbow on the street with the group of rangers.

And when Ye Teng entered Xinzheng as a conqueror, Han Wangan surrendered with hundreds of civil and military officials, and there were also indignant Han people who questioned Ye Teng at that time:

"As Han Chen, why do you want to destroy Han!?"

"Destroy Han?"

It is said that Ye Teng smiled at that time:

"That's right, I will destroy Han Sheji and capture Han Wang'an."

"But I also saved the people of Han, so that millions of people were saved from the disaster of swords, so it seems that I destroyed Han, but I also saved Han!"

This kind of rhetoric of Korean traitors to save the country has never been accepted by the radical Korean faction Zhang Liang.

When he finalized his revenge list, he said: "The most damned is Qin Shi Huangdi, followed by Ye Teng!" “

But now, Zhang Liang has to admit that in the past ten years, Xinzheng has indeed gained rare respite and stability.

It's a pity that Zhang Liang's restoration did not bring peace to Xinzheng, but instead pain, war, and a greater crisis!

Qin Chu will fight a decisive battle in the Central Plains, and Korea, Yingchuan, is the battlefield sandwiched in the middle......

The curse and nightmare that enveloped Zheng and Han for 600 years, the dark cloud called war, it has been there, dispelled by the sun for a short time, but it has condensed again, getting thicker and thicker......

When the thunder sounded and the spring rain fell, Zhang Liang finally made a decision.

"Bring it to you! I have something to ask him! ”

……

After the unlucky Li Shiqi was exposed to Zhang Liangdao in the pavilion, he was put under house arrest, locked in a sealed carriage, and pulled down Xinzheng all the way, and now that he was finally released, he yelled to drink.

"Yingchuan is short of food, let alone wine."

Zhang Liang asked the attendant to step back and sit opposite Li Shiqi, but after a long time, the two suddenly laughed.

"When did the ovary guess the identity of my Qin Spy?"

"From the beginning, I knew it."

Zhang Liang pretended to have everything under control, and said to Li Shiqi: "You have a lot of information on you, which is useful to me and to Chu State." “

"Did I let people torture you, or did you say it yourself?"

Li Shiqi said lazily: "How can my old bones withstand torture, just ask." “

Next, it is Zhang Liang's inquiry time, when Li Shiqi entered Qin, why he rebelled against Wei and blackened, Li Sheng has to say it one by one.

"Naturally, it is because good birds choose trees to perch." Li Shiqi disagreed.

"Oh? Do you think Heifu is the master? “

"At least it's more like the Lord than Xiang Yu's uncle and nephew." Li Shiqi smiled: "What does the ovary think? ”

Zhang Liang ignored it, and only asked him about the question he was most concerned about after going around for a long time:

"Tell me, what kind of person is that black man?"

Li Shiqi was now energetic, got up and arched his hand towards the west and said:

"Xia Gong is a person, benevolent and virtuous, ambitious, and able to suppress selfish desires! True saints too! “

"He is quite like casting Jiuding, the great Yu of the flood."

"It's like the opening of the Zhou for 800 years, and the Zhou Gongdan of Dingli and Music!"
