In late July, after completely controlling Xianyang and stabilizing the rear, Heifu commanded an army of 100,000 troops composed of the Northern Expeditionary Army, the old Qin surrendered troops, and galloping soldiers, and arrived at Chongquan County on the west bank of Luoshui.

Sima Xin, who was rescued from Lishan, was a native of Xihe, originally from Xiayang County (Hancheng, Shaanxi), and now he was appointed by Heifu as the captain of the "Innocent Army" composed of galloping soldiers, leading 10,000 free prisoners to follow the Chinese army to Chongquan County, and also assumed the responsibility of guides.

At present, Sima Xin followed Heifu to look at the enemy situation on the other side of the river from a loess plateau on the west bank of Luoshui, and pointed to his feet and said: "Prince, this is the hometown of Qin more than a hundred years ago. ”

Then he pointed to a long, earth-colored walled road across the river:

"Junhou, that is the Great Wall of Wei in the past."

"I'd think it's a riverbank." Heifu had never been to Chongquan, and nodded slightly when he heard this.

If you are not familiar with the local history, I am afraid it is difficult to imagine that the weak Wei, who has been hanging by the Qin State for a hundred years, can actually build the Great Wall to the hinterland of Guanzhong and occupy the West River.

Just look at the situation and understand that the West River is very important to the Qin State, and if you occupy the west of the river, you can expand the Kanto region and retreat to defend the big river. But if there is no land of the West River, Guanzhong Sigu will lack a big mouth, and foreign enemies can drive straight into it at any time, and it is doubtful whether the country of Qin can be maintained.

Heifu replied: "How long did Wei occupy the West River in the past?" ”

Sima Xin said: "Seventy years. ”

Heifu shook his head: "Qin has been forced by the West River for a long time, if it is counted from the Spring and Autumn Period when Jin seized the West River, it will be three hundred years......"

Back then, Qin Mugong fought several wars in order to grab the West River with the Jin State, but only won once, and in desperation, Qin Mugong turned to the west, destroyed the country, and dominated Xirong.

After the death of Qin Mugong, the Qin State was not as good as the generation, and the Jin State, as the leader of the Zhuxia Alliance, often took a group of younger brothers, pulled thousands of chariots, and traveled to Qinchuan through the West River, which made the Qin people only set the capital in Yong, which was far away in the west, and did not dare to advance half a step east.

Although the Jin State was divided into three parts later, and the Qin State waited for the opportunity to occupy the West River, the Three Jin Dynasty were still united at that time, and the Wei State took the lead in reform, and it became more and more powerful. However, the Qin State continued to fight among themselves, and the patriarch was autocratic, which led to the restlessness of the three generations, the frequent replacement of monarchs, and the old dream of the Western elders, which were left far behind by the ever-changing Kwantung princes.

Wei took the opportunity to build a city in Shaoliang, encroaching on the West River step by step, the Qin people counterattacked, but were defeated by Wu Qi, Wei set up Xihe County here, Wu Qi served as the first county guard, Wei Wenhou in order to swear the ownership of this land, and Xihe was completely under the control of Wei, and also invited Confucius's student Zixia and others to give lectures in Xihe.

This was undoubtedly a great shame for Qin: the national border had moved hundreds of miles to the west, and half of the Guanzhong Plain had been seized by the Wei army, while the enemy was engaged in scholarship on his own land.

Ugly, ugly!

So when Qin Huigong was the emperor, he fought hard and mobilized the strength of the whole country to seize the West River, but he was defeated by Wu Qi with 50,000 people. Since then, Qin has been reduced from the four great powers of the Spring and Autumn Period to a second-rate country, and the princes are inferior to Qin.

If you are backward, you will be beaten, and during the Warring States period, the princes all understood this truth.

Qin Xiangong was the first to rebel in this humiliating environment, and after he returned from Wei, he also learned from the Wei people to start centralized reforms. After 18 years of reform, the national strength of the Qin State turned from weak to strong, and there was a force to fight.

It coincided with the Wei State Wu Qi running south, the Three Jin Dynasty splitting, the strategic focus of Wei Wuhou shifted to the Central Plains, Qin Xiangong attacked the West River again, the Battle of Shimen, beheaded 60,000, and washed away his reputation in one fell swoop.

Wei also realized the threat of Qin, so he built the Great Wall east of Luoshui, stretching from Shangjun to Weinan, spanning three or four hundred miles.

It's a pity that Qin has been poor and weak for too long, and he can get away with winning, but he can't hold it, so after understanding this, Qin Xiaogong succeeded his father's ambition and wholeheartedly made Shang Ying preside over the law change and strengthen the national strength of Qin......

The rest of the story is well known.

Heifu's gaze moved into the distance, scanning the land in the distance where the tranquility had been broken again: "Internal law, cultivation and weaving, repair and defense of war tools, and fight the princes with the balance outside, so the Qin people surrendered their hands to take the ...... beyond the West River"

It's a pity that Qin Xiaogong and Shang Ying didn't see this day, Wei officially ceded Xihe and Qin, and it was eight years after King Qin Huiwen succeeded to the throne.

In the end, the Qin State won the Hundred Years War in the West River and laid the foundation for the unification of the Six Kingdoms, while the Wei State was greatly damaged and lost the ability to dominate the world.

And now, Heifu is actually facing the same thing as Qin Xiangong and Xiaogong, but the situation of strength and weakness has been reversed.

Heifu glanced at the generals who had climbed the hill and looked into the distance, many of them followed his old Northern Expedition when they raised troops from Nanjun, and there were also many former Qin soldiers who surrendered one after another.

He is going to use this counterattack against the Six Kingdoms and the Xiongnu to knead these two groups that can't urinate at all together.

Leaders are good at summarizing, and Heifu is no exception, he said: "It can be seen from this that the decline of Qin began with the loss of the West River. ”

"The great prosperity of Qin also starts from the Fuxi River!"

Heifu waved his hand with a solemn expression:

"Right now, the rebels of the Six Kingdoms have stolen the West River, if they can't recover it, we are all sinners of Great Qin!"

Sima Xin and all the generals bowed their heads and said: "There is a regent as the commander, and the soldiers will use their lives, and they will recover the West River!" ”

No matter how the two sides tried to beat out their dog's brains in the past, now they are united with the outside world, and they will drive the six countries away first.

At this time, Uncle Sun Tong came, knelt on the ground, and presented a document with both hands: "Junhou, the new text has been written!" ”

As early as when Heifu decided to launch a full-scale attack on the Six Kingdoms, he asked Shusun Tong to make an easy-to-understand and morale-boosting essay, but Shusun Tong bit the tip of the pen and handed over such a thing to Heifu:

The gist of the text is nothing more than that when the six countries attacked Qin, they joined forces and concluded diplomatic relations, with the kings as the commanders and the four princes as the heads, bringing together the divisions of the nine kingdoms and recruiting virtuous strategists such as Gongsun Yan, Su Qin, Chen Zhen, Su Li, and the military generals Zhu, Pang Juan, Kuang Zhang, Lian Po, Zhao Hao, Li Mu, Xiang Yan, etc.

The result? The princes arrived at Hangu Pass at most, and the Qin people switched and switched to fight, and before they used all their strength, they defeated the six countries and returned from the dispersal of the treaty.

And at present, the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, whether it is the number of soldiers in the first armor or Wen Tao Wuluo, are far inferior to the past, and they dare to take advantage of the time of the Qing Dynasty of Wuzhong Marquis to collude with the traitor Zhao Gao and the Northern Huns, and take advantage of the chaos to enter the West River, it is really bold and reckless, and they don't even know how to write the word dead......

In order to curry favor with Heifu, when Shusun Tong described the prosperity of the Qin army, he even said something "With the brigade of Qin, throw the whip into the river, and cut off its flow!" ”

It sounded domineering, but Shusun Tong didn't know it, he hit it by mistake, and the horse's fart slapped on the feet of this big black horse.

Heifu tore up the text on the spot, asked his uncle to rewrite it, and scolded him:

"Uncle Sun Tong, didn't you become an official, and when you entered Xianyang, you will be bald?"

Uncle Sun Tong was stunned by the scolding, but Heifu asked him: "Rulu people? Chu Renyan? Qin Renyan? ”

Of course, this fateful question can't be answered wrong, and Shusun Tong, who grew up at the foot of Mount Tai since he was a child, did not hesitate to forget his ancestors: "Shusun Tong is naturally a Qin person!" New Qin people also! ”

Heifu said: "That you don't remember, since the First Emperor destroyed the Six Kingdoms more than ten years ago, one day later, there are no more people in the Six Kingdoms in the world, but only one kind of people: the Qin people!" At most, it's just new. ”

"There are no Six Kingdoms, and in the text, you have repeatedly reiterated the hatred between Qin and the Six Kingdoms. For fear that the people who are coerced by the other generation will not be able to remember? Afraid that after the war, the Qin people would not retaliate against the people of Kanto? ”

This is what Uncle Sun Tong has forgotten, and what Heifu wants to emphasize is: the contradiction between the decadent and backward, the remnants of the old aristocracy of the Six Kingdoms, who are bent on restoring their extravagant life, and the people of the world.

Instead of turning over the old grudges and accounts between the Six Kingdoms and Qin.

"And." Hefu warned: "Don't use the word whip again, and if you talk nonsense again, this regent will throw you into the river first!" ”

The leader moved his mouth, the secretary stayed bald, and Shusun Tong stayed up all night while following the army, so that his eyes were black and sunken, and finally made the article that Heifu wanted......

"Read!"

The wind rose, the wind came from Guanzhong, and went to the West River, and the black man wrapped himself in a big coat, and asked his uncle and grandson to announce this text to the three armies!

Uncle Sun Tong held the text and read it aloud: "In order to pass on the story: the regent of Great Qin, the Marquis of Wuzhong, Weijun, was edicted by the First Emperor, and the Northern Expedition was difficult to punish the rebellious son Hu Hai and the rebellious minister Zhao Gao. The two thieves resisted stubbornly, and even made the Qin people fight in the same room, fortunately Haotian has a spirit, and the heavenly fire and mines are in Wuguan, and the pass is not attacked. Sergeant Qin also rebelled against him to welcome the righteous teacher, Xianyang returned without a fight, the puppet emperor Hu Hai was killed, and the traitor Zhao Gao fled. ”

However, the remnants of the old Six Kingdoms have also taken the opportunity to cause chaos, and there has been more than a year to this day. The sin of the six kings of Ben Ben, the sin of the sun, was as greedy as a rat in the past, ravaging the people. The first emperor descended to be a concubine, and his generation was resentful, and he was rich and noble for a family and a surname, and he did not hesitate to risk the disapproval of the world and make chaos. ”

This time, Shusun Tong finally passed the test, and Heifu nodded with satisfaction: "Spread the copy and distribute it, and teach the three armies to know their own battle and what they are fighting for!" ”

"It is even more important to let the old Qin people in the whole pass know who is turning the tide at this critical moment!"

In this way, the inscription was copied by the scribe and distributed to the military law of each hundred:

"Thieves and others are in peace and prosperity, and they regard the people who have been threatened in Kanto as if they were dogs, pigs, cattle and horses. Poisoned hundreds of thousands of creatures, ravaged more than 5,000 miles of counties, all the wilderness was looted, not a single inch of grass was left, the towns that passed, often slaughtered, blood flowed all over the city: the slaughter of Xiangyi, the slaughter of the dead, the slaughter of Linjin, the city had no living mouth. ”

"Xiang thief and other common sayings, 'Qin soldiers are tigers and wolves, slaughter my people, and humiliate our society', but the king broke the six countries, not a war, did not slaughter a city, six kings, not evil, no one in vain, it can be seen that they are real jackals!"

Through the military judges, the text was spread little by little, reaching the ears of ordinary soldiers.

"Today, the traitor Zhao Gao led the wolf into the house, Xiang Thief and others wanted to destroy the heirs of the first emperor, the sixth prince was killed in Dali, and the tenth princess was humiliated by Xia Yang, which is cruel and cruel, and those who have flesh have not heard it and do not regret it!"

"The throne of the Great Qin is vacant, and the society cannot be left without an owner for a day, the Hou is temporarily regent, and by the order of heaven, he will unify the new and 400,000 divisions of the Qin people, and march eastward, vowing to kill this rebellion, save my exiles, and restore the peace of my West River. Not only for the regret of the god Gongzi Xue being humiliated, but also for the revenge of the millions of living beings in the world! ”

"Revenge!" In the battle of Chongquan a few days ago, it was not only the new head of the Wang family who died, but also many soldiers and locals.

The easy-to-understand language, without pretending to be a profound quotation of scriptures, the soldiers listened to it in their ears and began to spread it to each other:

"With the help of the people of Qinzhong, the tyrannical scoundrel thief, no matter how slow, will eventually perish, do not wait for the wise and clear, and those who have made meritorious contributions to quelling the chaos, regardless of the officials and the people, will be greatly rewarded. The rebellious people in the thief army, there are those who abandon their weapons in battle, and those who return to sincerity with their bare hands, and the crime is lighter. ”

"The name of this marquis is Wu Zhong, and the word loyalty is the foundation of the march, there is the sun and the moon, there are ghosts and gods, there is the water of the mighty river, and there is the dragon soul of the first emperor for eternity. Bang will tilt, Kuang Sheji, establish a virtuous name, in this battle also! It is like a law, no neglect! ”

Just as the text spread throughout the barracks and spread to the surrounding counties, the scouts who were sent to the other side came to report: "Yujun Hou, the bandits of the Six Kingdoms are retreating, and the postposts of the rear army who stayed in Dali have been cleared for our army!" ”

The trumpets and shouts resounded on the west bank of Luoshui, and also conveyed the new orders of Marquis Wu Zhong.

"Ziro!"

"Ziro!"

The team moved forward, mighty, although Uncle Sun Tong didn't dare to say, but the scene in front of him had to be described by him, that is......

"Give the prince and the marquis 200,000 soldiers, enough to cut the dragon gate, cut off the rapids, and be invincible in the world!"
