Tian Jiao was sent to the city wall by the Qin army in this way. In order to let Tian Jiao know that Qin Jun really had witch weapons, he was also deliberately brought to the door between Wang Cheng and Guo Cheng, and pointed to a few fake witchcraft rolled into mats from a distance to warn. The sky was dark in the second spring, and when Tian Jian was hung off the wall of the royal city by the Qin people, the sky was already dark.

The sun's last afterglow reflected through the canopy, illuminating some of the clouds to the west. Jackdaws chirped from time to time, and they flew over the snowfields to the west of the city, and disappeared into the frosty green bamboo forest outside the Shenmen. The Qin army did not move all the tents, the boundless black curtain still occupied the Qin Yuan ten miles away, at this time the smoke was rising in the military camp, and the Qin army was happily making food.

It was Anping Jun Tian who greeted Tian Leave. Originally, in order to defend against the attack from Guocheng, the area where Wangcheng and Guocheng intersected was deliberately built higher than Guocheng, but now that the Qin army occupies Wangcheng, the Qi army had to withdraw from this section of the city wall and retreat to the section where the two cities do not intersect, and at the same time sprinkle a large amount of thistle terrestris on the city wall of about five miles of intersection.

The Qin army placed 10,000 crossbowmen on this intersecting city wall, as well as more than 10,000 armor soldiers and trappers. If the two sides fight again, this section of the wall will be the place of fierce fighting. However, the Qi people asked to surrender, and the Qin pawn standing on the high royal city looked at the Qi people at his feet arrogantly, with a disdainful sneer on his face.

Cold is the characteristic of the Qin people, and even two thousand years later, it is still known as Shaanxi Lengwa. Qi has been prosperous since ancient times, and if you really want to summarize Qi people in one word, it should be 'fresh'. When the rich and the rich are luxurious, the poor must also 'eat wine and meat and then go home when they are full of meat and wine),' and when his wife asked who she was going to the banquet with, she replied, "Be rich and rich."

The Zhao people also coveted luxury, but the luxury of the Zhao people was used to hide their innate inferiority, so that the people around them would value themselves in order to gain a small self-esteem in the pyramidal social hierarchy. In fact, in the land of Yanzhao, where Hu Feng prevailed, most of them were slaves except nobles - this was a real slave, a two-legged sheep on the grassland, not a servant or a domestic slave. In order to make yourself look less like a slave, luxury is a must for everyone.

Qi people's luxury is more of their own desires. Even if you don't have the ability to enjoy the luxury of a nobleman, you have to pretend that you are enjoying it. Under the prosperity of commerce, everyone pursues 'wealth and wealth', so wisdom is more important than bravery, so that the people of Qi are more clever and easy to discuss. If you are born too stupid, you can only 'dare to hold the thorn' and seek wealth by your own force.

But it can't be said that the Qi people can't fight. The Zhou people destroyed the Yin Shang, allowed the Qi State to rule according to customs, and tried their best to improve the status of the Lu State, precisely because they were afraid of the Qi people who were still known as the Yi people and the Lai people at that time. The myth of Hou Yi shooting the sun is about the first people in East Asia to learn archery, and the most outstanding warriors among them used bows and arrows to shoot the invincible Yin Shang royal family - Xi Hesheng for ten days, and the ten days are A, B, C, and D...... Of the ten heavenly stems, only the king of Shang can use the name of the heavenly stem.

The Qi people, who were so feared by the Shang and Zhou dynasties, must have become martial. Even if the mercantile people were really not martial, they could beat the Romans who would unify the Mediterranean world in the future with just money, like the Carthaginians, and shouted in fear the slogan 'Carthage must be destroyed'.

The fundamental reason why the Qi people have become as rare and flashy as they are now is that the imperial court's confinement of commerce, as well as constant inflation and deflation, made the Qi people lose their desire for wealth. They can only lower their stature, try their best to tie up with the officials of the government, make some small money through the policies of the imperial court, and then try to avoid the next inflation or deflation led by the imperial court, and keep as much wealth as possible.

Business has become a drill camp, and you have to kneel to make money. How can a businessman become a real businessman? They were just a bunch of minions who worked for the court in the unofficial economy. Not to mention the political status of Zheng Shang, who had sworn an oath with Zheng Guojun, even the merchants of Chu State were inferior. The merchants of Chu can not buy the account of the king of Chu Zhuang, they can 'go to their business', and they can also take refuge in the feudal monarch like Meng Sheng, the great son of the Mo family, and rely on the connections of the feudal monarch and the county Yin to make the transaction nationwide.

Leeks are perennial perennial herbaceous plants that can be harvested every year from spring to autumn. If it is well managed, it can be cut 4-6 times a year, about once a month. In order not to affect the growth of leeks, people no longer cut leeks in late autumn and early winter. At the same time, after each mowing, it is necessary to loosen the soil in time, and fertilize and irrigate in time after the new leaves grow. But no matter what, after 3-4 years of cultivation, leeks will always gradually age.

At the head of the royal city wall, the leeks under the sneer of Qin pawn are as old as Tian Jiao, and he needs the support of his servants so that he will not be blown down the city wall by the north wind of the call. When Tian Gu held his hand, it was as if he was holding a piece of ice.

"Xiangbang hard work!" Tian Gu let go of his hand and shook it deeply, with deep apologies, it was he who 'sent' Tian Leave over to ask for surrender.

"No, it's okay." Tian Jiao controlled his trembling, he now saw that Tian Gu didn't want to be disgusted like just now, it was all for Qi Guo. "The Qin people have ......"

Tian Jiao carried the copy of King Qin's book in his arms, and when he saw Tian So, he wanted to take out the bag. I didn't want Tian to hold him down, and said, "Don't worry." And ......"

Tian Gu pointed behind him, there were a group of brightly dressed women standing on the city wall, they seemed to have been standing on the city wall for a long time, everyone shivering in the cold wind. "The king gave 100 beauties to the Qin people, and there were 10,000 jewels, treasures, silks, and 10,000 horses......"

The servants in the palace stayed directly in the royal city, and these beauties and luxuries were made up by the nobles in the east of the city, in order to make the Qin people happy. As soon as the Qin people were happy, the matter would be easy to handle. Seeing this, Tian Jia couldn't help but sigh, and when these women got out of the way, Tian Gu went down to the city with him, got into a carriage and drove straight to the old city east of the city, where the royal court shogunate was located.

The roads in the city were three vertical and three horizontal, and although the twilight was getting darker, Tian Jiao still saw the dense Qi soldiers and soldiers in the neighborhoods of various miles, their huge armor looming in the dark, and the spears were shining. The common people were evacuated, and there were no people in the streets, only dogs walking around. There are no bright lights, no lively music, no laughter and shouting, Linzi seems to have become a dead city.

This kind of Linzi made Tian Jiao extremely disappointed, but fortunately, when the carriage passed through the gate of the old city guarded by soldiers, the Linzi he was familiar with appeared in front of him again. The common people who retreated here inevitably blew the flute, and a bunch of people laughed around the flute. As night falls, the lights of the city come on, illuminating the streets and houses along the way.

"Please go up the stairs." The carriage stopped, and a halberd-wielding soldier opened the door, and the priest saluted in the darkness.

There is also a royal palace in the old city, and the royal palace has its own dynasty and bed. However, compared with the Southwest Royal City, these palaces strictly abide by the Zhou etiquette, and the length and width of the court are all nine feasts, less than sixteen meters. There were more than 100 doctors and hundreds of lieutenant generals in the army, and these people couldn't stand at all, so they could only occupy all the halls and rooms on all sides of the court, so they could barely squeeze out these people.

Tian Jiao ascended the stairs to enter the court, and the doctor would watch him while crowding people to make way for him to enter the court. In the court, Tian Jian, the king of Qi, was originally sitting, and when he heard that he was coming, he immediately stood up and wanted to grab his hand and speak. However, Tian Jiao stopped bowing before he walked in front of Tian Jian, and he said: "The minister does not disgrace his mission, and the Qin people allow me to do it." ”

Although this result had been expected, the Qin people did not attack all afternoon, and the doctors and generals couldn't help but take a deep breath when they heard this, but it was Tian Jian, who looked left and right, and saw that the doctors and generals were all nodding, and a smile appeared on their faces, so he stammered: "Good... Good! This is also the work of the state. ”

He also wanted to say something more to praise Tian Jiao, but the great Sima Tianzong came up and said: "King, the matter is imminent, please retire." ”

Tian Zong represented all the generals of the Qi army, and as soon as he spoke, the generals in the entire main bed followed suit, and the voices of hundreds of people shook the main body and buzzed. Tian Jian said: "Yes." The hundreds of people then exited the main bed in turn and returned to the shogunate, where the shogunate was located.

At this time, Tian Jiancai grabbed Tian Jiao's hand and looked at him again and again, his eyes were full of care. Tian Jiao, who still didn't know what Tian Zong was going to do, couldn't help asking, "Does Brother Wang really want to surrender to Qin?" ”

The generals withdrew from the main bed, and there were courtiers and doctors in the court, and Tian Qiu, who knew the inside story, said with a smile: "The king of Chu is also." ”

"Chu ......" Tian was shocked, people couldn't help but look around, and they woke up again in Zhang Wang, the king of Chu could not be in the city, it should be outside the city, and he should have led hundreds of thousands of troops to save the Qi country.

"In this battle, the Qin people are exhausted!" Tian Gu behind him added, he found the feeling that his father used the fire bull array to break the Yan people back then, and his face was full of sinister smiles.

*

Tian Gu smiled, but Xiong Jing in the bedroom was full of wry smiles. The wry smile is because the Chu army has self-heating individual rations, a pit dad design - it is common for military houses to eat individual rations, and it is also common to study individual rations if they have nothing to do. Five years ago, many soldiers in the Battle of Vaqi did not have hot food, so under his orders, the Quartermaster Department was responsible for the development of self-heating individual rations, relying on quicklime powder and water reaction to generate heat.

The ration is cooked, rice, sauce, meat and together to make a flat can. The cans were filled in a larger tinplate can, which contained about 400 grams of quicklime powder, and a cork and wax seal at half a liter of the water line, which was used for filling water. The amount of lime powder varies depending on the temperature, and in the northern winter it takes 400 grams to heat a single ration.

Quicklime powder is there, the key is water, 400 grams of quicklime powder requires 100 grams of water to fully react, and it is difficult to get water in winter when the river is completely frozen. The Chu people really deserve to have a strange imagination, and after a discussion in the Great Sima Mansion, several strategists came up with a liquid that will definitely not freeze: urine. The human body excretes eight liters (1600ml) to one bucket (2000ml) of liquid every day, at least half a liter (100ml) at a time, and this half liter of liquid can be filled into a large pot to heat rice.
