Chapter 557 [Poor Weishui River Bone]
There is no heroic aspiration in the world, and men are most afraid of homesickness.
The passionate good men on the battlefield were afraid of not being the sea of sword light and blood, but the love of children was long. Where is Xiguo? It is still north of Nanzheng, and it was not originally the land of Shu. There is the biting cold wind that hits Qin in the northwest, but there is no warm and spring climate in Shu. The defenders of Shu were rotating like a lantern here, and they were all sad when they came, and everyone was happy when they left. No one would ever regard this as the land of Shu. The rotation of the transfer here was nothing different from exile.
After three days, the two armies killed the corpses and blood. When they saw countless robes turning into ghosts in foreign lands, they were inevitably sad. No matter how good Shu wine is, they drown their sorrows. Suddenly, they heard the sound of the hometown accent. The Qin people even made a new poem that shook their souls and resonated with great literary talent and read aloud. Isn’t this a life-threatening person? Even the strongest veteran couldn’t help crying like a little girl abandoned by his lover.
The Shu City in Xiguo, which was crying, suddenly became bright as day. The Shu army soldiers looked up with red eyes and saw countless lights floating in the sky, flashing so unmoving, as if the heaven saw the sorrow of the Shu people, and deliberately lowered the beautiful scenery to comfort them. The scenery in front of them made many young Shu army soldiers think of the past of watching the stars during a secret meeting with their lovers at night. Shu girls have always been the most passionate and romantic. They always like to take their lovers to see the stars.
The crying gradually became low, and the soldiers of the Shu army began to admire the lights floating in the air in surprise; it was also wonderful. Once these lights flying in the air arrived above Shu City, the lights gradually dimmed and began to slowly sink. Millions of lights and dark lights fell from the sky, as if all the legendary meteors from the sky gathered in this city.
"It turned out to be a bamboo lamp, and the tail of the lamp was dragged down below? Hey, this is not an ordinary lamp tail, it is paper, and there are words written on it."
The Shu clan was actually different from the Chinese nation at first, but although the clan had its own slang, it did not invent the text, and it was still used in Chinese. Although there were many vulgar people in the army, there were also written notes of the army and the account rooms in the caravan. These people picked up the words on the tail of the light. They all looked at them in a sensible way, but some would throw away the paper away nervously after reading it, while others would hide it quietly, while others simply formed a group and swallowed it in their stomachs, with a firm expression of not saying anything if they were beaten to death.
"General. The Qin army made such a strange flying lantern to disrupt our army's morale. Please see, General!"
Shi Zhong's personal document book received the paper book sent by his own army. The more he looked, the more serious he looked, he slowly handed it to Shi Zhong. His document book was Shi Zhong's counselor, and he had seen all kinds of ways to disrupt the morale of the people on the battlefield. This time he opened his eyes and felt that the overwhelming text propaganda of the Qin army would sooner or later crush the soldiers in the city.
Shi Zhong took it over and took a closer look. First, his face was solemn, and gradually he fell into deep thought. Suddenly, he looked at Wen Bo: "Mr. Du, I also heard that Bai Zi in Qin was an amazing person. The commercial base established by the Bai Family Trading Company was spread all over the world. Anyone who had something to do with Bai Zi would benefit, and even the General Office of the China Banking Industry could not be immune to it. Bai Zi said that if the people in the world were safe, they would get food and money, and they would raise troops without any trouble, and they would spend nothing. National strength is not the patronage of all people, but the sorrow in the boudoir. Especially the last two new poems, "I feel sorry for the bones by the Wei River, but I am still the man in the deep boudoir." Ah. Our army and the Qin army fought for three days and nights. I wonder how many good men from Shu have become bones by the river and become dreamers? Mr. Du is a Confucian scholar and has also traveled around the world. He is a person who has seen big scenes. Do you think Bai Zi is right? Is this inexplicable war really necessary for Shu?"
Du Wenbu was speechless for a long time. After a while, he said: "If we abandon the view of national differences, Xi can only agree with Bai Zi. There are hundreds of schools of thought in China, and there is a Sichuan Middle School School in Shu. Which one is not going to prescribe a good way to govern the world and safeguard the people? But whether it is Confucianism or Mohism, no matter how beautiful it is, it can never avoid the words "money" and "grain". What is governing the world and safeguarding the people? Let the world be rich and the people are happy! Bai Zi of Qin has great means to create Quyuan Pear, set up a silver standard, connect the laws of various countries, and submit to the Western Rong outside. These are truly practical means to govern the world and safeguard the people. If the Shu Kingdom in China can take the economy first, and have mutual communication with impermanence and friendship, why do you need to start a war?"
"Sir, you said it well." Shi Zhong sighed and looked at Du Xi for a long time.
"So what if you say it well? You and I are ministers of Shu after all. Can you still betray the king? What's more, Shu is bordering Qin, and there is no king angering the Emperor of Zhou. I'm afraid that Qin will also plot against us, and we will live and die. Even if Bai Zi is a master, he will still be the enemy of my Shu people!"
Among the two countries, Ba and Shu are pro-China, but Shu is different from China for many years, but it is no better than Shandong countries or even Chu Yue. Although Du Xi is brilliant, he has not yet surpassed the level of ignoring the country and nation. There is no suspense about how to choose.
Shi Zhong nodded slightly when he heard this: "Mr. Du finally did not disappoint me, otherwise the sword in Zhong's hand would be cut off your head. Please draft a military order immediately to inform the entire army, but those who pick up the Qin people's paper books must be handed over immediately. Those who have read the text must not be spread. Those who violate the order shall be killed!"
***
In fact, even if Shi Zhong did not issue this military order, the soldiers of Shu Kingdom probably didn't have much time to discuss the content of the Qin people's paper books. This night was filled with blood, fire, wine and meat, and finally a romantic scene of flying lights all over the sky passed quickly. When the sun had not yet appeared completely on the horizon, the Qin army's crossbows pressed on the city like dark clouds. Accompanied by the thunderous marching drums, a total of thirty Qin army 100 teams appeared under the city of Shu Army. The soldiers charged in the front had taken off their heavy armor and climbed along the ladder along the cloud ladder, just like a group of evil wolves who could not fear death for victory!
The Qin army's attack was extremely fierce, and in just half a day, two hundred-man teams were damaged. The Shu army was casualties not even under the Qin army that was sieging the city. However, it stopped quickly and did not fight overnight like the last time. However, it used the shortest time to show the cruelest side of the war in front of the Shu army.
After the truce, Shi Zhong did not reward the army, but walked into the wounded barracks to comfort the wounded soldiers one by one. When talking to the wounded soldiers, his voice was always low. He looked at each injured soldier carefully. These soldiers still respectfully called him a general. Those who were not seriously injured had to stand up and salute him. However, he saw some changes and differences from these soldiers. What a powerful Sun Bin and Bai Dong. Even if he could use military orders to suppress them in time, some of the paper books were hidden privately last night. The content recorded on the paper books was still secretly spread among the soldiers. Shi Zhong suddenly felt powerless because he knew very well that some emotions could not be suppressed by military law and killing, such as the desire for peace, the nostalgia for family, and the distant look for hometown.
"The king may have been wrong from the beginning. If the Xiguo defenders did not rotate frequently but sent a large army to stay for many years. When the soldiers stationed in the garrison recognized the land and regarded it as their hometown, I am afraid that even if the Qin people had thousands of means, it would be difficult for the Qin people to disrupt our army's morale? But with the suspicious character of the king, would he be willing to hand over such an important Xiguo to a general for a long time?" Shi Zhong shook his head. Maybe he shouldn't think about this too much? As a Shu minister, he is loyal to the country and the family.
After walking out of the wounded barracks, the personal army had already brought him hot broth and noodles. Shi Zhong nodded and took it. No matter what tomorrow would be, the rice would always be eaten. But before he could drink the meat, he heard the dense gongs coming from the city. When he looked up, he saw white shadows above him, and countless flying lights flew to the head of the Shu army again!
The lamp was taken apart by Shi Zhong yesterday. I heard from the craftsmen in the army that the Qin people used the principle of steaming heat to make the lamp fly in the sky. The idea was really clever. Moreover, the Qin people seemed to have calculated the wind direction, wind power and distance. Every time these flying lamps came to the top of Shu City, it just happened to be used up to fall down. The paper book used to convey the chaos of the morale of the army was the most convenient, but it was simply unsolvable.
