Notification on the Handling of the Incident of Yingzheng Raising Zombies

In the autumn of the 14th year of Qin Wangzheng, on the thirteenth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar, Ji Dan, the hostage of the Yan State, was overwhelmed with the anger of the dynasty and returned home with resentment. Qin Zheng ordered the closure of Hangu Pass.

On the seventeenth day of the ninth lunar month, Zhang Yuanju led five hundred Qin troops stationed in the city to evacuate Lingyun City.

On that day, a group of Qin soldiers dressed in black, wearing Xuanjia, holding long spears, carrying strong bows, and horses under their crotches, formed a long line like mighty black snakes, crossed stone bridges, narrow alleys, city gates, Tang Tang disappeared without a trace.

There are thousands of rumors in the market. There are rumors that the vitality of the Qin State was severely injured after the battle between Qin and Zhao Feixia, and that the Qin State’s snake swallowing elephant was driven back to Hangu Pass by the Sanjin Alliance.In short, the common people are all rejoicing. In such an era where as long as you don't join the army, you will live, grow old, sick and die in your hometown almost all your life. People's vision is only between a city and a pool.

For them, the tax burden is reduced, the corvee is reduced, and as long as they can eat and drink three meals a day, the reason for the Qin army's withdrawal is not important at all.The joys and sorrows of life are like the changes of nature, and they are all resigned to fate.

On the other side, the retreating Qin soldiers were also very happy.Leaving home at a young age, on a journey of dozens of years, he was lucky enough to recover his life on the battlefield.Not fighting for the time being, but being sent to a place thousands of miles away from home, guarding the pass for several years in a row, most people have almost forgotten what home looks like.

Zheng's clothes have already been patched all over, the family letter is lost somewhere, are the old parents in good health, is the elder sister married?I am most afraid that when I finally return home, there will only be mossy pots and pans left in front of the hall, and what is waiting for me is a lonely grave full of weeds among thousands of barren mountains.

When they come out to fight, how many ordinary people are there for their country and the world?All I want in my life is to have healthy limbs and a robe without scars when I am disarmed.If you are lucky enough to get one or two heads, then the whole family will be exempted from corvee for several years, and the slaves will be considered happy if they get out of slavery.However, the battlefield is full of smoke and bitterness, and no one can see clearly the vast road ahead.

Everyone has their own emotions, there are as many joys and sorrows in the world as there are sands in the Ganges River.

The saddest one was Zhang Yuanju, who rode a tall horse and was dressed in a black military uniform. Perhaps because of a hangover, he looked sluggish.He thumped, staggered, walked out of the city gate, and only then woke up like a dream, climbed off the horse and fell to the ground, grabbed a fistful of loess that had dried into gravel, and stuffed it into the small leather pocket tremblingly.

He looked at the city gate, and saw that the words "Lingyun City" were engraved with the handwriting of Lord Bianyang when Qiniang passed away more than ten years ago.

As a soldier who has climbed up from the bottom step by step with his military exploits, Zhang Yuanju cares more about his achievements today than anyone else. Even for his former benefactors, he can only take advantage of the moonlight and indulge in a drunken madness. Signals of imminent danger.In the end, he couldn't say anything, all he could do was grab a handful of loess.

What I look forward to most is not to meet you on the battlefield in the future; what I fear most is not to meet you on the battlefield in the future.

Han Tang hated Qin Jun who was stationed in the city. He grew up under their shadow since he was a child. He used up all his imagination to fantasize about his father's pain when he was bullied, as if those things happened in real life. Push yourself to grow rapidly.He doesn't want to understand Han Yuan's rational choice and his devious contest with Qin Jun. He doesn't want to recognize the real complex face of this world.

On this day, he didn't feel much happiness.In the changing situation, the child vaguely witnessed the end of an era and the arrival of another more difficult era.

Chen Chrome's window sill is like a treasure chest. Whenever he sleeps until the sun is high, he will find a small bamboo basket when he wakes up. Mao Li.

Every time he opened his eyes wide to see who had let it go, he fell asleep in a daze, as if there was a magical Thumbelina hidden somewhere in the yard.He rummaged through boxes and boots, but he couldn't find her.

Perhaps a thumb boy?If the poison doesn't kill him, it's fine if you can't find it.

At this time, the big-hearted Chen He was at his most at ease, eating hawthorn, and together with Han Tang, he secretly scrambled on the female wall at the top of the city, looking at the dust and smoke left behind by the cavalry of the Qin Army.

Han Tang's eyes were round, he turned around, and asked, "Is the 'zombie' you mentioned true or false?"

Chen Chrome threw up a fruit and wanted to catch it with his mouth, but he accidentally bumped into Han Tang face to face, making the other person's face flush.Then he smiled embarrassedly, scooped up the hawthorn with his hands, stuffed it into his mouth, and replied: "It's true, I thought everything would end after that day, but I didn't expect things to get worse instead. Anyway, thousands of years later , we are all finished, do you believe it?"

Holding the knife in his hand, Han Tang raised his head suddenly, his eyes sharp, and said, "Trust!"

Chen Chrome was taken aback by him, and asked, "What are you doing?"

Han Tang gritted his teeth: "Guarding Bianyang is the responsibility passed down to me by my grandma. I will never let anything touch my Bianyang."

Chen Chrome suddenly wanted to understand something, and said, "Your grandma left you with responsibilities, uh... Did she pass her genes on to you too? Are you a demon too?"

Han Tang gritted his teeth and remained silent.

Chen Ru patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Let's just be a monster. What's so embarrassing? A monster has a longer lifespan and a stronger body than a human. Well, look, Beichen is also a monster. Isn't he too Are you doing well?"

Like a punctured balloon, Han Tang lost his temper and said, "What a simple-minded person. How can I compare with Beichen?"

Chen Chrome switched his shoulders with one hand, hugged the child in his arms, put his face against his, and said, "I know, it's really frustrating to be blinded by people for no reason. Don't say anything that makes you unhappy. Now, go back and discuss with Li Xinglan, you must be prepared to fight the zombies."

With flushed cheeks, Han Tang hurriedly pushed him away, straightened his clothes, and said, "You...really...I think you have never been wronged since you were a child. Come back!"

Chen chrome snorted, and said to himself, "Why haven't you ever been wronged?! When my brother cooks porridge, he always mixes up sugar and salt. We are from the south! Also... what kind of monster are you?"

Han Tang didn't bother to pay attention to him, Chen Rue ran forward quietly, grabbed Han Tang's neck with one hand, and squeezed his chin.Han Tang was caught off guard, as if struck by lightning, he let out a "meow" sound.

Chen Chrome: "Hahaha, I should have thought of it a long time ago!"

Han Tang: "..."

The two jogged all the way shoulder to shoulder and returned to Bianyang Junfu, just in time to meet people discussing matters in the hall.Han Tang jumped onto the roof with ease, while Chen He was still hesitating. After all, if the elder brother knew about such things as being in the corner, he would definitely ask him to do some "ideological education".

But his curiosity was really overwhelmed, and when he came back to his senses, he was already squatting beside Han Tang, while the other party skillfully lifted the tiles.

There is a square hole on the roof, and the inside of the hall can be seen at a glance.

Han Yuan, the Lord of Bianyang, sits in the middle seat, and 21 celebrities from the city line up on both sides, sitting facing each other. There is only a small porcelain cup on the table, which holds a bowl of hot water.

As we all know, although Lingyun City has always been in a state of anarchy, all animal settlements that live in groups must have their own order.For this old city, this order is their small "parliament", which is what Chen Chrome privately named.

According to Han Tang, this loose deliberative body, headed by the aristocratic Lord Bianyang, who was entrusted by Emperor Zhou himself, is represented by respected old people and young people who are the mainstay. run.

Bianyang Jun gave a general introduction to the situation, the Qin army closed Hangu Pass, withdrew troops, changed defenses, took major military actions, Zhang Yuanju did not explain the warning and so on.

There were so many things going on, rumors were flying, everyone analyzed them one by one, and discussed for a while.

At this time, a middle-aged man dressed as a wealthy businessman was speaking loudly, and said, "Withdrawing the troops is really a great thing. Those Qin soldiers have not been working all day long, and they have depended on us for support for many years. This trip, originally no one The taxes that need to be paid will naturally be canceled together, and life will be easier, and the people are so happy."

Another person echoed, saying: "What Brother Huang said is true. Although the war is about to start, Lingyun City does not belong to Qin nor Han. As long as you take care of the passing troops, you can make money at both ends. If there is no war, we will at most It’s a passing business for business travelers. Boats and carts are expensive goods, and they can’t sell much in a year. Once a war breaks out, our military vehicles, horse-drawn carriages, bows and arrows, etc. will sell well.”

An old man objected, leaning on crutches, trembling, but still courteous, said: "This is not appropriate. It is not the era of Emperor Zhou, and wars are not the same. Hundreds of years ago, only the nobles could On the battlefield, the two sides were courteous and courteous, and the war did not hurt the peace. So what now? After the Sanjin was enfeoffed, how many small countries disappeared in the flames of war? Not to mention, the Zheng State a hundred years ago has now become the capital of our country."

Hearing this, a young man with the appearance of a literati seemed to feel the same way. He stood up enthusiastically, and said, "Mr. Gongsun's advice! It is no longer the way of the Marquis of Wen and Marquis of Ai. When a city is captured, the people are still rejoicing." I am happy to live my own life, and after two days, I was bought back again, and everyone still does not know what happened. Now the country is going to be subjugated! It is going to be wiped out!"

The merchants retorted, and what they said was justified: "When a person lives, eats, drinks, and scatter, he must know the time and know the destiny. Qin's iron hoof, where can you and I compete? It is better to eat three meals a day and wear warmth. I don’t know what the general trend of the world is, the people depend on food.”

Scholars have another opinion, citing scriptures: "Han Zi wrote "Five Moths", saying that famous merchants "accumulate twice as much agriculture, and pay homage to those who are more than farming and fighting, but there are few honest people, and there are many high-priced people." Don't you To do production, to accumulate wealth, is to give up the basics and chase after the last. Now, not to mention a little integrity, even dignity can be bought and sold."

Lord Bianyang comforted everyone, and sighed: "Mr. Gongsun is right. In the first battle of Changping, Lord Qin Wu'an killed 40 people overnight. Today's battles are endless. The population of Qin is millions, and there are several acres of Susukina in the border area outside the Great Wall. , How to support their own people? They want to send troops to the Central Plains, definitely not for the sake of one city and one pool, 'If you are not of my race, your heart must be different', Qin will not leave us a way to survive."

Everyone has their own class interests and visions, and everyone quarrels with each other.Although Chen Chrome didn't have any complicated thoughts, the bystanders clearly counted the factions that emerged in this discussion.

The first faction is dominated by ordinary people and advocates that there is no need to defend.This small group of people is the most pragmatic, thinking that Lingyun City was ceded to Qin State long ago, but because of some historical reasons, the handover failed.Now he just made some concessions and surrendered to Qin, so the threat of war can naturally be avoided.

The second faction is dominated by businessmen and advocates passive defense.Merchants want to make money and war money, and they don't want to submit to any side. Both Qin and Han want to eat.At the same time, they had a very optimistic view of war. They wandered around all the year round, and when the people of Qin came to call, they would pack up their treasures and leave.

The third faction, represented by the old man, advocates moderate defense.They have come from the war years, and they still believe in the great unity of the world during the time of Emperor Zhou. Although their thoughts can change with the times, the concept of family and country is very important.Most of them still believe that Bianyang is a territory of South Korea, and believe that South Korea will still have the strength to resist Qin after Lianheng Zhao and Wei. The battle of Feixia this year is the best proof.It is proposed that fortifications against Qin should be built, ask for help from the capital, and return to South Korea.

The fourth faction is mainly young and middle-aged people, who either study or practice martial arts, and belong to the radical defensive faction.They have clear thinking and good vision. They know that the Qin State is unstoppable, and they also understand that Zhao Weihan is in danger.However, no matter which side you belong to, if you have no ability to protect yourself, you are just floating duckweed in troubled times.

In the era of war, life is not long, and people mature early. Although these people are young and middle-aged, most of them are only in their twenties and thirties.

In his heart, Chen He agreed with the young people's proposition, but he still understood intellectually that Qin's unification of the six countries was an irresistible historical trend.It started from the era of Qin Xiaogong, grew in the hands of Qin Huiwang, and by the time of Zhaoxiang King, the overall situation was settled.Nowadays, it cannot be said that Qin Zheng's "strengthening the six dynasties and developing strategies in the universe" is inevitable, but it is the inevitable result of countless accidental events.

Compared to Chen Chrome who was completely useless and had nothing to do, Li Xinglan had an in-depth conversation with Bianyang Jun in the study early this morning.Soon, he gained the trust of Lord Bianyang, and at this moment he was sitting in the last seat in the row of long seats on the right.

The crowd was so noisy, Li Xinglan got up silently and went out, stood in the middle of the hall, and performed the most common peer salute with everyone, as calm as ordering a bowl of bean curd for breakfast in a snack street.

Li Xinglan spoke with a gentle voice and a flat tone, and said: "The matter is urgent, and I hope you will bear with me if I am rude. Close two important military sites. After reorganizing and changing defenses, they will be assigned to the border defense lines of Qin Han, Qin Zhao, Qin Wei, and Qin Chu, and officers and soldiers will also be stationed at Maojindu in Yuncheng on the waterway.”

Seeing his strange description, everyone was inevitably curious, so someone asked: "Who are you? You hide your head and show your tail, why don't you show your true face?"

Mr. Bianyang explained: "Mr. Li is my guest, a Yin-Yang family. His face was burned by fire, which may frighten others, so he covered his face with a black veil."

What the hell is the Yin Yang family?

Chen Chrome complained frantically in his heart, patted Han Tang and said, "What's wrong with others wearing a hood? I hate it."

Han Tang was so annoyed by him that he squatted and moved four or five steps to the side before asking, "Mr. Li, isn't it the Yin Yang family?"

Chen Chrome: "Of course not. He used to be the head of the Third Regiment. He must be a party member. He has no beliefs other than the Communist Party."

Han Tang: "Always say inexplicable things, don't make noise."
