When I was in Qin Dynasty, I lost contact with the wave

Chapter 597 Wei Wangzeng: While eating hot pot and singing songs, suddenly the city was destroyed!

On the third day of the war between Qin and Wei, General Daliang, who was in charge of the garrison of Daliang City, suddenly received an order from Lord Anling. King Wei wanted to patrol Daliang City at night, and the city gates had to be closed an hour in advance.

It is extremely rare that Daliang City, known as the "city that never closes at night", rumbles its gates shut at dusk, and even the iron suspension bridge on the moat is raised.

Therefore, when night falls in Daliang City, it is rare that there is no river of lights connecting the inside and outside. Only the military lights on the city head flicker in the vast plain, like sparse stars in the night sky.

General Daliang stood at the top of the city, looking at the sparse lights, with his hands on the female wall at the top of the city, and couldn't help but sigh deeply.

Once upon a time, the wealth of Daliang City was unparalleled in the world, and it was known as the four largest cities in the world together with Linzi, the capital of Qi, Handan, the capital of Zhao, and Xinzheng, the capital of Han.

Among the four metropolises, if we talk about the gathering of real merchants and the smooth flow of businessmen and scholars, Daliang ranks first.

Although Linzi, the capital of Qi, which is located on the coast of the East China Sea, is more peaceful and comfortable, it is still remote. After all, most of the places where scholars, farmers, industrialists and merchants travel are in the Central Plains.

Although Handan of the Zhao State was a rising capital in the middle of the Warring States Period, it was prosperous as it prospered. However, most of the Hu merchants and Yan merchants in the north of the river and all the heroes in the world aspired to it. People from Chu and Qi rarely set foot in it, and it was flourishing. There is less of a gloomy and elegant atmosphere. People at that time said that quality is better than text. This is what people say. It goes without saying that Xianyang of the Qin State made great achievements in the world. However, due to entangled grievances with the Six Kingdoms of Shandong and strict laws, there were many restrictions on the flow of people and logistics. Therefore, it was similar to Handan, lacking some of the intoxicating civilization. Elegance and charm.

Only Daliang City, located in the heart of the Central Plains, is located in the vast plains, close to a big river and located in the heart of the world. The waterways are wide, the official roads are intertwined, the carriages, horses and boats are all fast, the food, clothing, housing and transportation are convenient, and there are many convergences. People gather together and flourish into a hub.

You must know that in the early Warring States period, before Daliang became the capital of the Wei State, it was already an important industrial and commercial town in the Central Plains. Only then would it be taken seriously by King Wei Hui, who began to shift his strategic focus from the Qin State in the west to the Central Plains, and planned to move the capital. .

After decades of expansion and the Qin State's continuous capture of Hexi, the Wei State finally officially moved its capital to Daliang.

Although he was driven from Anyi to Daliang by the Qin State, he was in a state of desolation, but when the people of the world saw the glorious and dazzling Daliang City, they could not express the embarrassment of the Wei State in moving the capital.

When Zhang Yi visited Daliang City, he once commented that "the land is flat, the princes are connected in all directions, and there are no obstacles from famous mountains and rivers... From Chen (Chu) to Liang, horses galloped and people followed, and they did not wait to get tired to reach Liang." , and many years later, Su Qin traveled to Daliang City, and left a comment that "the masses of people, the number of chariots and horses, marching day and night, are no different from the masses of the three armies."

The transportation facilities in Daliang, the capital of Wei, and the large amount of traffic shocked the scholars who stirred up the world.

As the main beam of the capital of Wei State, its uniqueness lies not only in its prosperity and convenience, but also in its unique charm. It tolerates people of all kinds and the wealth of all countries, and can provide the broadest world for any industry and enable all kinds of people to work. People are freest to choose their own way out, exuding a spirit of unrestrained publicity and free advancement and retreat unique to the Warring States Period.

In other words, being independent and free is not just a scholar's spirit, but a people's style that permeates the world and gathers in Daliang. People at that time said that Linzi said: "The family is prosperous and rich, and the ambition is high."

In fact, it is called Daliang!
Therefore, after nearly a hundred years of three generations of Wei Hui, Wei Xiang, and Wei Zhao, even though the law of Wei was severely damaged, Daliang has always been the first choice for business travelers and workers in the world, a sacred temple for scholars to study, and the largest battlefield for diplomatic relations in the world.

Countless celebrities from the Warring States Period, those who did not study in the Wei State and became famous are almost as rare as white crows.

The flow of people and logistics gathered together, which greatly stimulated Daliang's industrial and commercial industries. At that time, Daliang was lined with merchants and workshops, famous scholars and academies abounded, wine shops and inns were everywhere, jewels, furs, salt, iron, weapons, silks, carriages and horses were everywhere, the right time and place, people and tools came together, and Daliang did not even have time to reflect carefully, and it became the world. Most of the coveted richest men. On the cold street, the guards of Wei State walked forward surrounded by two figures sitting on the chariot.

Different from the various luxury chariots most commonly seen in Wei, the chariot guarded by the imperial guards in the center is an open-air chariot. Two figures, an old man and a young man, hold the chariot's shaft and patrol side by side. This bustling city at night.

"It's shining with splendor and brilliant beams." Wei Wangzeng couldn't help but exclaimed as he looked at the wine shops and markets that were still bustling and noisy at night even if the city gates were closed in advance. It seemed that they were not affected by the war between Qin and Wei. He expressed his heartfelt emotion, "Daliang Jincheng Tangchi, what can the people of Qin do?"

"Uncle, Wei will not be defeated, right?"

King Zeng of Wei looked at Lord Anling next to him. As the youngest brother of King Anxi of Wei, Lord Anling was actually still in his prime. He had just reached the age of knowing destiny this year. However, since his elder brother Xinling Lord and Queen Mother Leling passed away one after another, he had already been The pressure on An Lingjun, who was forced to go to work, almost overwhelmed him.

He was originally just an idle feudal lord with fifty miles of Anling fiefdom. Precisely because he did not want to participate in the political struggle in the temple, and did not want to get involved in the disputes among the countries in the world, he stayed away from Daliang in his fiefdom, company with the mountains, rivers, flowers and birds, and The Confucian scholars managed the classics together, and even the management of the fiefdom was left to the confidant Tang Ju, who had full responsibility, but he did not want to become a well-known "elder" in the world, that is, a person of high moral character and respect.

In fact, Lord Anling is talented, and both King Anxi and Lord Xinling of Wei, as well as Queen Mother Leling, know this. However, with them around in the past, it doesn't matter if Lord Anling really cares about the mountains and rivers.

But when the three of them were gone, the Wei state fell into decline and lost the elders who could support the next generation to move forward. King Anxi of Wei had to force Lord Anling out of the mountains and rivers in his edict.

However, Lord Anling, who had this ability and prestige, had not participated in the governance of Wei for many years. If his confidant Tang Ju had not assisted him, he would have been much better than the young King of Wei. Even so, Lord Anling was still exhausted.

Who would have thought that Anlingjun, who used to be in his forties and looked as young as his thirties when he was devoted to landscapes, now looks like a seventy-year-old man at the age of knowing his destiny.

"Your Majesty, please be at ease. Qin will send troops to attack me, and neither Chu nor Yan will stand idly by."

Although he was very tired, Lord Anling still had to take time to take the young King Wei to visit the capital, so that the King of Wei could see the impregnable Daliang City, and give the young King Wei more sense of security.

"What my uncle said is true. How could the Qin State of tigers and wolves..."

Before Wei Wangzeng finished speaking, the gate of the East City suddenly opened, and several sentry riders who had already verified their identities hurried over.

"Pingqiu City was breached by the Qin Army!"

King Zeng of Wei, who had been lamenting that a large number of people were impregnable and that Wei would surely defeat the Qin army in this battle, was stunned.

No, while I was eating hot pot and singing songs, the Pingqiu Fortress, which was three hundred miles away from the eastern border of Qin and Wei and only three hundred miles away from Daliang, was breached? ? ?

This is the night of the third day of the war!
