In September of the first year of Han Yuande, the autumn was high and cool, and the geese flew south.

The Han crusade army led by Yi Zong finally arrived at Xiangping, the seat of Liaodong County.

Xiangping County belongs to a strategic center in the Han Dynasty's defense line.

The so-called Xiangxiang defense line is a defense line similar to a string of pearls built by the Han family on the basis of the Great Wall from the Yang to the Xiangping generation of the Warring States and Qin dynasties.

On this line of defense, the five counties of Shanggu, Yuyang, Youbeiping, Liaoxi, and Liaodong were intertwined, and they were horns of each other, locking the gateway to the northeast of the Han Dynasty and resisting the threat from the north.

However, few people know, or remember, how the line of defense was built.

"In the twenty-eighth year of King Yan Zhao, Yan will Le Yi and take more than 70 cities, and Yan is prosperous!" Yi Zong rode his horse, jumped up a hillside, and looked at Xiangping in the distance, but his mood was mixed, and he was full of emotion: "Later, Yan will Qin Kai cut down Hu, but more than 1,000 miles east of Hu, and began to build the Great Wall, from Yang to Xiangping ......"

Thinking of these histories in his heart, Yi Zong couldn't help but sigh: "When the Yan people built Xiangping City, it means that Hu Chengping defeated the enemy, but since Qin, Xiangping has been reduced to a defensive fortress, until today's ......"

And that's exactly what happened!

The Great Wall built by the Yan people was not so much a line of defense as a bridgehead painstakingly prepared for an attack.

During the Warring States Period, Yan was second only to Korea in the civil war.

But it is located in the north, facing Hu on three sides.

Qin Chu, Zhao Wei and other powerful countries in the Central Plains Yan people couldn't help it.

But the surrounding Hu people Yidi, Yan Guo's father is under no pressure to crush. They expanded more than 1,000 miles to the north and more than 2,000 miles to the east.

Substantively. There is at least half of this defense line or the Great Wall of Yan. It was snatched by the Yan people from the mouths of Donghu and other chaotic Yidi barbarians.

The Yan Kingdom built this Great Wall back then, not for simple defense. It's more about attacking, about opening up territory.

After all, except for Le Yi, who was awesome for a few years and beat Qi abroad, the Yan Kingdom during the Warring States Period was a small subject that was adjusted and taught by various countries in turn.

The Yan army was even more defeated and won less in the civil war, and it was almost a constant reparation for land and sending sisters.

In such a situation. If Yan Guo had not found some way to make up for the deficits and losses, it was estimated that it would have been wiped out long ago.

Especially in the last years of the Warring States Period, as the threat of the Qin State increased day by day, the royal family and nobles of the Yan State were forced to be in a hurry, and they continued to build a bridgehead of the Xiang defense line and launched a war of conquest against the outside world.

Today's Han Dynasty's eastern border can continue to the banks of the Beishui River, and its influence extends into the Korean Peninsula, thanks to the desperate expansion of the Yan people after being forced into a corner.

It's just that although the Yan people have already worked hard, the Qin people have worked harder than them.

It's even more troublesome. The Yan people worked desperately, and even took out the last coffin, and the territory that they had finally conquered was not able to be immediately converted into human and material resources and soldiers. On the contrary, the power of the Yan State was used in large quantities for external expansion.

So, it's tragic.

Then destroy the Qin State of Yan. Although it is famous among the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, he has a good stomach and good teeth, and his digestive function is unique in the world.

But in the face of such a big swallow country. Even if it is a battle among foodies, the Qin people only have time to talk about it. Before it was completely digested, it was shattered by a roar from Daze Township.

Since the Han Dynasty, because of the rise of the Xiongnu, the Xiangxiang defense line has really become a simple defense line, and it has never undertaken the task that its builders hoped for.

At this moment, Yi Zong stood on the top of this mountain, looking at the undulating mountains in the distance, and the Great Wall that meandered forward.

I can't help but feel a sense of witnessing history -- after nearly 60 years, this line of defense has once again become the bridgehead and strategic cornerstone of the Chinese army's external expansion.

At the same time, Yi Zong also has a pilgrimage-like feeling in his heart.

The idols of most soldiers in the world are either grandchildren or Sima Xiang and Wu Zi, and then Bai Qi and Li Mu.

But the idol of Yizong is not these famous people in history, the general he worships is the founder of this Xiangping City, unknown in the history books, and the brilliance is hidden by those bright stars of the Yan people Qin Kai.

In that year, Qin Kai was a Yan general and presided over foreign conquest.

To the north, Qin Kai defeated Donghu and forced Donghu to go more than a thousand miles, and to the east, Qin Kai pushed the territory of Yan to hundreds of miles north of Xiangping, and built a city here as a fortress.

At that time, the status of Donghu on the grassland was almost the same as the status of the Xiongnu on the grassland today.

It is because of this that Yi Zong worships the general who has only left a few records in the history books.

"I want the general to be in Japan, attack Hu in the north, conquer Yi in the east, and expand the territory for thousands of miles, what kind of hero is the world?" Yi Zong thought silently in his heart: "Today, the kid is also indispensable, he wants to learn from the general, conquer the east, expand the land for the Son of Heaven, and in the future, he will go out on an expedition, take the Huns to the first level, and dedicate the Han Palace!" ”

"Those who have been good at fighting since ancient times have no outstanding achievements!" Yizong swore in his heart: "I Yizong would rather be above the history of thousands of years later, and not hear my name!" ”

Although Yi Zong is young, he understands a truth: if future generations remember his name and respect him very much, wouldn't it mean that what he has done today has finally proved to be in vain?

Yizong would rather be forgotten, just like his idol Qin Kai in the unknown corners of the history books, like a silent watchman, lonely to tell his story, and the territory he conquered will always be the land of China, and the enemies he defeated will disappear!

Yizong believes that the soldiers who have achieved this step are the real soldiers.

Righteousness rode forward, and the spirit of the whole person suddenly rose.

He seemed to feel that more than a hundred years ago, Qin Kai had also ridden a horse and led the army on this road.

Yi Zong couldn't help but turn his head and stare at the mountains and rivers behind him.

He felt that Qin Kai had also been like him, staring at the land behind him.

"I see, this is the duty of a general!" Yizong suddenly had a kind of realization: "Like Qin Kai, I am loyal to my monarch and love this land deeply, so we will continue to move forward!" ”

"Playing music!" The righteous horse shouted.

Hearing his order, Yu Linwei's entourage musicians played music.

"Sing!" Yi Zong ordered again, and he himself took the lead in singing: "How can you say that you have no clothes? Fellow with the Son! Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear, and have the same enmity with the son! ”

The desolate and heroic Qin Feng suddenly resounded throughout this world.

In the dark, Yi Zong knew that a hundred and ten years ago, Qin Kai must have also led his soldiers to sing generous and tragic Yan songs, and marched towards the battlefield that belonged to them. (To be continued......)
