The sun and moon are not long, and spring is to seek the order of their generation.
This sentence came from Qu Yuan's Li Sao.
It meant that time passed quickly and could not stay long, and the four seasons changed regularly.
It also meant that time was fleeting, and the people and things that had passed could not be retrieved.
It had been five years since Empress Dowager Xuan passed away!
Five years was just a snap of the fingers for the land of the Nine Prefectures that had been in conflict for more than five hundred years.
However, to the Qin country and even the Ying family.
These five years were a huge turning point!
Let's talk about Qin first.
Five years ago, Prime Minister Fan Sui proposed to form an alliance with Zhao and send Qin eastward to Hangu.
The King of Qin gladly accepted this strategy and sent his son Yiren to the State of Zhao as a hostage. The State of Zhao also sent a son.
The two countries thus formed an alliance.
After pacifying Zhao, the King of Qin began to show his strength. He ordered Wang He, Duke Zhuang, Sima Ji, and the other generals to lead the army to attack Wei and Han.
In the first year, the Qin army broke through the border of Wei and quickly took down Xun, Cai, Min and other eight cities.
If it wasn't for the Wei Country gathering their troops in time to block the Qin army at the bank of the Wei River, the Qin army would have already reached the capital, Daliang.
The King of Qin also stopped while he was ahead and pointed the spearhead at the wild king of Korea, which was Shangdang.
After half a year, the Qin army had completely cut off the connection between Shangdang Prefecture and Korea.
The King of Han did not dare to be enemies with Qin, so he ordered Feng Ting, the governor of Shangdang Prefecture, to offer Shangdang Prefecture to Qin in order to stop the Qin army.
In the end, Feng Ting was unwilling to surrender. After planning with the people of Shangdang County, he decided to give Shangdang County to Zhao State, wanting to use Zhao State to resist Qin State.
Shangdang County was located between the Qin and Zhao countries.
When the King of Zhao heard this news, he was overjoyed. After discussing with his officials, he accepted Feng Ting's surrender and sent troops to take Shangdang County.
But little did he know that it was precisely this action that thoroughly infuriated the State of Qin!
The Qin country had fought so hard to obtain the territory, and they had not even had the time to enjoy it, but the Zhao country was actually going to reap the benefits.
How could there be such a cheap thing!
Just like that, Qin and Zhao completely forgot about their previous friendship. They directly shed all pretenses of cordiality and started a showdown in Shangdang!
At first, Qin and Zhao were only fighting on a small scale in Shangdang. It was more of a negotiation, and they wanted to force the other party to make concessions.
However, be it the Qin country or the Zhao country, they were not willing to give in.
Since they couldn't reach an agreement, then let's fight. We'll use our fists to decide the ownership of Shangdang!
Qin Ji seemed to understand Empress Dowager Xuan's worries. If Qin wanted to go east, they had to get rid of Zhao!
Thus, in the next three years, Qin had invested more than six hundred thousand soldiers in Shangdang.
On the other side, the State of Zhao did not show any weakness, sending 450,000 troops to Changping, the center of Shangdang.
Zhao knew that they couldn't compare to Qin in terms of military strength, so they had been under Lianpo's command for the past three years.
Lianpo was extremely good at defending cities.
No matter how ferocious the Qin army's attacks were, he could make Changping impregnable.
After a long time, both sides were tired.
Therefore, under the suggestion of Young Master Qin, he sent people to Handan to spread rumors.
He said,"Lianpo is old, he only knows how to defend the city and not go out. Not only did he do nothing, but he also consumed a lot of food and money in Zhao, shaking the foundation." It was said that Zhao Kuo, the son of Zhao She, was a natural-born Divine General. The Qin people were most afraid of Zhao Kuo. If Zhao Kuo replaced Lianpo, he would definitely defeat the Qin army.
Once the rumor appeared, it quickly spread throughout the entire country of Zhao.
In the end, even the people of Zhao thought that Zhao Kuo was a natural born general and the bane of the Qin army. They all went to the King of Zhao and asked Zhao Kuo to fight!
The King of Zhao couldn't bear the pleas of the people. At the same time, he was also dissatisfied with Lianpo's lack of defense. If this continued, the Zhao Country would be exhausted to death by the Qin army.
Not to mention, the Yan Country was still eyeing them covetously!
Left with no choice, the King of Zhao could only replace Lianpo and appoint Zhao Kuo as the general!
At the same time, the State of Qin had also made preparations.
……
Early in the morning, the sun had just risen in the distant east, and the fiery red morning glow had begun to spread across the sky.
Creak--
The door opened, and a young man walked out of the room yawning. He stretched his body towards the rising sun.
The crisp sound of bones cracking came from his body.
The young man's entire body was bathed in the sunlight, and his handsome face glowed with a mesmerizing luster under the sunlight. His slightly messy black hair fell to his waist.
The long robe he was wearing was also in a mess. His upper body was exposed, revealing pieces of firm muscles with distinct edges and corners.
However, it was precisely because of this that it gave the young man an unruly temperament.
Especially when the corner of the young man's mouth curled up slightly, his two sharp eyebrows also followed suit, making him look even more arrogant!
In short, this young man had a face that everyone envied but deserved a beating!
After enjoying the sunshine for a while, the young man twisted his neck and glanced at the halberd standing on the wall.
"It's been a long time since I last exercised.”
Immediately, the youth waved his hand at the halberd.
Immediately after, the halberd flew directly towards the youth.
The moment he held the halberd in his hand, the lazy aura on the young man's body instantly disappeared, and was replaced by a terrifying sharpness!
In the next second, the young man brandished the halberd in his hand like a flood dragon emerging from the water. The halberd made a deafening sound in the air.
It was as if the air had exploded.
He was nearly 1.8 meters tall, and it was extremely pleasing to the eye when he waved his halberd. His long hair danced in the air.
Just as the youth was practicing with all his heart, a crisp and pleasant voice suddenly came from outside the courtyard.
"Ah Xiu, are you up yet?"
(The main character's appearance is on the cover. Of course, he still has black hair.)）
