Chapter 21: Handan

Yun Yue couldn't understand why the blue-gray city wall looked black from a distance. It's like looking at the Great Wall at Badaling, the farther you look at the Great Wall, the closer it is to black.

Handan City lies quietly in the distance, like a giant beast ready to devour people at any time. The blue bricks on the city wall and the Great Wall seem to be more than ten kilograms. As a person from the imperial capital, Yun Yue has seen a lot before. It's just that I don't know what the adhesive was at that time, which could build the city wall more than ten feet high.

Our civilization was great during the Warring States period, and the Roman city-states of the same period were still a group of wild people living in shacks. And there are already cities with a population of one million in China, and there are at least seven cities of the same level.

After the three families were divided, the Seven Heroes of the Warring States continued to fight against each other. Without the powerful Jin, the Qin State in the west would be like a wild horse that has escaped its ropes. Madly galloping eastward, the border repeatedly expanded eastward. It was under this Handan city that the Zhao army once fought to the death with the powerful Qin army.

Many of the city bricks still have traces of arrows and stones, and swords, axes, smoky fires can be seen everywhere. Even in a certain corner, you can see blood stains that have not been washed away by the rain. As if to remind people that this is not a peaceful world after 2,000 years, but a Warring States era full of brutal killings.

A drawbridge was erected over the wide moat, and the ox carts of the Wusun family rumbled across the drawbridge. The guards at the gate actually saluted the convoy.

Money is always needed to fight a war, although these families are afraid of the royal family. But they also have the ability to protect themselves, and the huge economic power in their hands is the foundation of their existence. Perhaps this is the reason why King Zhao Huiwen did not move the Wusun family, he needs the war horses provided by the Wusun family. There is also a steady stream of tax revenue from caravans distributed across the world.

"Lao Wang, raised by a son of a bitch. Lao Tzu went to the north to be exposed to the wind and rain, and from time to time he had to fight with the Huns. You fucking stay in Handan, and you're raised for nothing. Recently, which woman went to drill sand in the crotch of her pants......"

As long as he is not in front of Yun Yue, Wusun Jichang has become a straightforward man again. At the moment he was talking to a guy with a short bun face, who was dressed in leather armor and had a sword on his waist. The wooden scabbard is mottled with paint and is clearly some age.

The one who can wield a sword is at least an officer, Yun Yue doesn't know what rank this guy is. seems to be very familiar with Wusun Jichang, and it is estimated that he is not a good person if he is familiar with this guy. I didn't see the watery little eyes on Baozi's face looking directly at Rui'er, if it wasn't for the eyelids blocking it, I was afraid it would fall out.

Wusun Jichang followed his gaze and slapped the back of the pig's head.

"Where the hell are you looking, I'll introduce you to a brother, and you must not offend the noble man who is the head of the family in the future." It seems that Wusun Jichang has a good relationship with this guy, and reminded him not to offend Yunyue. Yun Yue's ability he knows, and it is almost a sure thing to be appreciated and reused by the head of the family. Such a person cannot be offended, in case he crooks his mouth and says no, his life will be gone.

"Brother Yun, this is the captain Lao Wang who guards the city gate. From his own family, his wife is my aunt. In the future, I will ask my brother to take care of me. ”

It turned out to be cousins, no wonder.

"Where did Brother Ji Chang come from, your brother is Yun Yue's brother. Brother Wang has a good face, hehe......" Yun Yue smiled and laughed haha.

When you see people, you talk about people, and when you see ghosts, you talk nonsense. Dealing with those Great Zhao officials along the way, Yun Yue has already mastered the basic skills of this mixed Warring States.

Lao Wang didn't seem to take Wusun Jichang's words to heart, but just arched his hand at Yun Yue casually. He really couldn't see what the young man in front of him was capable of, and his eyes were still not aimed at Rui'er.

Fucking this isn't a good cake, Yun Yue doesn't plan to pay attention to this bastard anymore. Said to Wusun Jichang: "Brother Wusun, hurry up!" After speaking, he lay down under Rui'er's service, and didn't even look at Lao Wang.

Wusun Jichang was a little embarrassed, this cousin is good anywhere. It's just too, and I can't move my legs when I see a woman. This kid died on the woman's belly sooner or later, sighed secretly, glared at Lao Wang, and ordered the big bolt to continue to catch the car.

The city of Handan is very large, and it is not much more than Handan in later generations. Yun Yue leaned against the carriage, her eyes scanning left and right. The wide road was paved with bluestone slabs, and the ox carts were rushing on it. I've never seen such a wide road, and I'm afraid that there are 100 meters wide on the left and right that lead straight into the distance. I don't know how long it is, but Chang'an Avenue in later generations is a little weaker than this road.

The roadside is dotted with houses and shops, and the shouts of buying and selling come and go. In addition to agricultural products, there are also many handicraft products. In an alley turned out, it was even more crowded. It must be a gathering place for teahouses, wine shops, fireworks and brothels.

Wusun Ji Chang rode a tall horse at the front of the team, and a gust of wind scarlet felt cloth cloak fluttered in the wind. It's like a triumphant general, with such a stylish outfit, and the little girl on the side of the road looks at it with little stars in her eyes.

The people on the side of the road stopped to watch when they saw the Wujia caravan passing by, pointing at the huge Wujia caravan. Regardless of their status, these people wore sackcloth, and few of them wore satin. In these days, the silk and satin clothes were served by the nobles. Commoners were not allowed to wear silk, and even the wealthy had to have a corresponding status.

Handan is a place where talents are produced. If you really think about it, there are many characters who called for wind and rain at the end of the Warring States Period, but many of them lived in Handan. For example, LΓΌ Buwei, such as Yingzheng, such as Prince Dan, Wei Wuji, and Zhao Ji. It's not too much to say that it's going to be a storm.

Yun Yue admired the street scene more than 2,000 years ago, and recalled stories in her mind that made people's hearts beat or blood. One by one, the protagonist of the story will appear in the city, feeling like an open-minded player playing a role-playing game.

The advancing ox cart suddenly stopped, Yun Yue stopped his reverie and looked back, and a huge ancient castle appeared in front of Yun Yue.

The castle is like a medieval castle in Europe, and the walls are made of huge stones instead of bricks. The wide moat is ten feet wide, and the water looks golden in the autumn sun. The tall drawbridge was lowered, and the huge gate was shaped like a lion's mouth, as if ready to devour everything at any moment.

Behind the uneven arrow stacks are the warriors who patrol back and forth, and there is an arrow tower more than ten zhang away. The shooting hole was condescending to the land across the moat, and Yun Yue believed that any team that wanted to capture such a castle would pay a heavy price.

Eight strong men worked together, in a tooth-squeaking squeak. The heavy gate parted to the left and right, and Wusun Ji took the lead on the suspension bridge with a wave of his hand.
