Quliang is not a big city, its city was also demolished by the order of the first emperor as early as the Qin unification period, after the restoration of the Zhao State, all counties are rebuilding the city wall, and their method of building the city wall is naturally a rammed earth method.

The rammed earth wall is layer by layer put into the mud to make it strong and then slowly high, and there will be some stones, straw and other things in it, no zài bricks and the like, if the supervisor is strict, it is really strong, but it can't be soaked in water, once it is soaked in water for a long time, it will definitely be soft and collapse.

There is always a rainy season throughout the year, the Quliang city wall has been constantly exposed to the wind and sun for several years, and then there is a continuous offensive and defensive battle, the city wall that Lu Zhe saw is a dilapidated scene, and there are even gaps in some places.

Chen Yu, who drove on the left for King Zhao Xie's car, was Zhang Er on the right. Now the two are constantly explaining the history of Qu Liang to Lu Zhe, and they also talked about the wars that Qu Liang has encountered in recent years.

Zhang Er himself had fought offensive and defensive battles in Quliang, but he was the attacking party who attacked Quliang City and did not obey the forces of the Zhao State. According to the statement and definition of the Celestial Empire, Zhang Er stood on the side of the feudal dynasty and brutally persecuted the rebellious peasants and righteous men who rebelled against the rule of the feudal dynasty.

In fact, the people who occupied Quliang at the beginning were not farmers at all, let alone righteous people, but the local wealthy families thought that the troubled times were coming, and they mainly used family slaves and coerced the citizens to establish a career. This force could not be negotiated with the restored Zhao State, and the city that was unwilling to get hold of it said that it would give up, and as a result, it was exterminated by Zhang Er and his troops.

When Lu Zhe heard Zhang Er say why he wanted to exterminate the armed forces entrenched in Quliang, he knew very well in his heart that anyone would jump out when the troubled times came, and saying anything about serving the country and the people was basically bullshit, but in fact it was just a struggle for interests.

Isn't there such a saying? It's called "the ruler is never clean, and the people who really hold the idea of serving the country and the people can't take the country", in fact, it's really like that, if it's really for the country and the people, it will never be able to rise, because everyone will grasp that weakness, and then grab a large group of people and threaten to kill them if they don't surrender, is that surrender or not? If you really surrender, you will definitely be slaughtered, if you don't surrender, you are embarrassed to say anything for the country and the people? While shouting for the country and the people, while going to one place and coercing one place at a time, waiting for the enemy to come, and then throwing the people to the enemy army to kill, and then passing off the responsibility for the people, and guiding public opinion to become the enemy's fault for everything, this is the material for seizing the country.

Lu Zhe exterminated a lot of armed forces in the process of rising, and he didn't know how many cities he destroyed in order to exterminate his opponents, so he really didn't have much interest in listening to Zhang Er and Chen Yu say those nonsense that had no characteristics.

The city defense of Quliang has been taken over by the Han army, and at present, a group of forbidden troops have also marched into Quliang City, some soldiers are building camps, some soldiers are carrying out necessary patrols around Quliang, and more soldiers are stopping in place to rest and guard.

When Zhao Xie got down from the chariot and Lu Zhe also stationed on his horse, Wuchen approached accompanied by Yi Jia.

"Your Majesty, King Han, the troops have been stationed, are you sending the meals that have already been prepared in the city out of the city to reward the army?" Wu Chen's voice is not small, and the etiquette when he speaks is not very good, after all, he is not from a noble background.

Zhao Xie looked at Lu Zhe and put on a posture of having the final say from the King of Han.

The Han army had already explored the area around Quliang, and was certain that there were no other armies within twenty miles of Quliang, except for the 3,000 defenders of Quliang and the 5,000 soldiers and horses protecting the Zhao monarchs.

Even if the monarchs and ministers of Zhao wanted to poison 100,000 forbidden troops and tens of thousands of auxiliary soldiers, Lu Zhe didn't believe that they could get so much poison. What did you get the anesthetic? Now there is no mechanical production line, there will be no mechanized production, even if you want to make anesthetic by hand, how long will it take to manufacture the volume of more than 100,000 people? In addition, don't believe in the kind of poison in film and television that can die in no more than three seconds, there was no such poison as zài before modern times.

The thing that should ensure his safety has been done, and Zhao Guojunchen also showed a gesture of understanding, if he rejected the good intentions that Zhao Guojunchen had already prepared, it would be too much, so Lu Zhe naturally bowed his head heartily, and said politely: "There is work." ”

The place where Zhao Xie held the banquet was not in the city, but on a hill in the east outside the city.

At a glance, you can get a first glimpse of the whole picture, but I don't know what it is, the forest of the mountain bag has been almost cut down, so that it looks bare.

Actually, what else could it be? It is nothing more than because the war needs siege equipment, and at the same time, the army needs to use a lot of wood to cook rice, boil water, heat and so on, so naturally it will be cut down.

At the top of the mountain pack is an awning with no curtains on all sides, and in addition to the armor warriors who stand there early, there are some female concubines and musicians who look like dancers, and there are also a circle of soldiers at the bottom of the mountain, and there are even samurai walking back and forth on the mountain bag.

When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, they could no longer ride horses or take carriages, so Lu Zhe and Zhao Xie walked towards the mountain one after the other, gossiping as they went. Behind them were a group of Han and Zhao civil and military officials, almost all of whom were chatting with people with similar identities.

Lu Zhe knew the recent situation of Zhao from Zhao Xie, Han, Qin, and Zhao did not merge into a big empire in the mode of military conquest, which was not something that everyone knew, but Zhao Xie was a person who would not make up his mind, so he negotiated with the courtiers, and since the courtiers knew, they were destined to be passed on.

It was not unprecedented, but that was a matter of antiquity, and nothing like this had happened since the Zhou royal family. Zhao Guowen and Wu have a lot of opinions on the merger of the two countries, but there are not many opponents, after all, in this era, if you can become a central official, there will be no pure fools, they can see the general trend of the world clearly, and the people are also happy to see the situation of not fighting corpses and ruins everywhere, and the opponents are some people from the Zhao clan.

The merger of Zhao and Han will retain the title of King Zhao, and Zhao will also become a feudal state, and the interests will inevitably shrink significantly. Zhao Xie is Lu Zhe's father-in-law, judging from Lu Zhe's precedent for treating Xiong Xin, Lu Zhe will definitely not treat Zhao Xie badly in terms of life pleasure.

For many civil and military courtiers, it is natural that they can find their place in the new empire, especially some talented people will have better development, this is not without ready-made examples, and the most important thing is that Han Wangzhe has never had any prejudices about people who defect or surrender to other countries.

What about Qianshou? The living conditions and social environment of the Han Kingdom have long been spread all over the world, who does not know the richest people living in the Han Kingdom? The Qianshou of Zhao did not expect to become extremely wealthy immediately after returning to the Han Kingdom, but as long as the place where they lived no longer became a place of war because of the outbreak of the Han and Zhao wars, they had long been fed up with the attack and did not have too much luxury.

The Zhao clan has become the only victim of the merger of the two countries, and they are no longer the identity of the clan after the Zhao State becomes a feudal state, although they can retain their property, but they are no longer majestic for the clan? In addition, some clan children also think that becoming a feudal country is equivalent to losing the country, and they are unwilling to let the Zhao State sink down. They originally wanted to gain the support of the Korean Chinese armed forces, but under the general trend, not many people were willing to come together with them, and the only few were still the kind of officials who mixed very poorly, and there was no one who led the troops.

Zhao was destroyed and then re-established, as early as during the Qin attack and the fall of the country, those capable and capable clan children, they were either moved to Xianyang, Qin, or died in resistance, this group of Zhao clan relatives and Zhao Xie are actually not the original Zhao State is not a very important person, to put it bluntly, if Zhao is not destroyed, they are simply some marginal people, not taken seriously. It is conceivable that no one thinks that they can accomplish anything, and in fact, they have not done anything before Qin destroyed Zhao State, or after Zhao State was restored.

Zhao Xie was actually very helpless when he talked about those clans, according to his original words, what can people who have not received education do, especially many clan relatives don't even know a type, and they will be dizzy and do some stupid things under the instigation of some unwilling people.

Lu Zhe knew that his father-in-law was not at ease, and he was worried that he would continue to pursue it. And he didn't want to investigate it at all, after all, as Zhao Xie vaguely mentioned, people with great ambition and talent will only do bad things and will not accomplish anything.

When Lu Zhe and Zhao Xie approached the shed, a group of female concubines and musicians bowed to the ground early, and Lu Zhe's eyes swept over and he could see that the female concubines in thin dance clothes were shivering because of the cold.

Lu Zhe didn't mean to observe the female concubine's appearance, but when he saw that the female concubine's figure was half-covered and half-concealed because she was wearing a transparent silk dress, his eyes paused: "They? ”

"Hehe, it's some Yue Nu and Wu Nu, there are also Zhao Nu, Yan Nu, Qi Nu, some are courtiers to welcome the King of Han, and some are from ......" Zhao Xie originally thought that Lu Zhe was interested in those female concubines, but it was obviously wrong: "Oh? Clothes? It is Yue yarn, which is made of silk zuò. He also said a rough idea, and he probably didn't understand it that well.

Yarn crossing? It's Wansha! I heard that the Spring and Autumn beauty Xi Shi made this thing, so it means that this craft has appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period. The reason why Lu Zhe was curious was because he had never seen similar transparent yarn even if he had seen silk in the south, and he wondered how the craftsmanship lost in the south was seen in the Central Plains.

Zhao Xie didn't understand silk, so he turned his topic back to the introduction of the female concubine and the musician, and his behavior was also the posture that he should have as a banquet host. However, as soon as Lu Zhe heard that some of those female concubines and musicians were from the clan relatives, he immediately smiled strangely. R1152
