Queen Flower

Jiang Lan remembered Bai Qi, the leader of the four famous generals of the Warring States Period, known as the "human slaughter". In the battle of Changping, he defeated the Zhao army led by Zhao Kuo, beheaded more than 50,000 Zhao army, and captured 400,000 Zhao army soldiers. , and finally buried all the 400,000 Zhao people alive. Since then, he has become a demon in Zhao Ren's heart, and later he was also dissatisfied with King Zhao of Qin, and finally gave a sword to himself.

Bai Qi has mixed reviews in history, just because of the 400,000 prisoners of war buried alive in the Battle of Changping, it can be seen that this person is very successful. Throughout the ancient and modern wars, many people killed countless people. When the war machine is activated, in order to completely destroy the opponent's fighting spirit, it will massacre the city when it encounters stubborn resistance. For example, the Qing army entered the customs and slaughtered Yangzhou on the tenth day. In the long river, another example is the Nanjing Massacre. Of course, there are also some subjective massacres, such as the concentration camps where Hitler persecuted the Jews. These are examples of the slaughter of civilians by war, and any commander in the world who slaughtered civilians deserves a thousand cuts.

But Bai Qi was different. He killed prisoners of war, not civilians. Don't say how cruel his methods are, just say the results he caused. The reason why he killed Zhao Jun 400,000 was because he thought that Zhao people had no faith, surrendered here, and turned their backs on the other side as soon as they returned. At that time, Zhao State and Qin State were undoubtedly the two major military powers in the world. This can be seen from the fact that the four generals of the Warring States Period accounted for half of the two countries. And Bai Qi killed 400,000 Zhao people, which is the enemy's living strength and the foundation of a young and strong army. Different from the modern era of hot soldiers, in the era of cold weapons, talents are the key to combat. Without people, don't talk about anything. In fact, the decline of Zhao State began in Changping.

Looking at it now, although Yan Zhan is ruthless and invincible, he has a benevolent heart and is a general with integrity and compassion, while Xia Henqiu is a politician who plots the overall situation. Although he is ruthless, he calculates gains and losses and is the final result. . So they were all right, and the most wrong thing ever was the war itself.

Having said that, Jiang Lan herself didn't know what decision she would have made if she was in the circumstances at that time. 100,000 lives are not as simple as waving a hand and saying to kill. Unless you are born cold-blooded, you will bear a heavy psychological burden for the rest of your life. Although she can understand his intentions and helplessness, she only understands it. Therefore, Jiang Lan can't be a general, and neither can a politician.

Xia Henqiu looked at Jiang Lan and lowered his eyes, "Why do you think so?"

"If you let the prisoners withdraw together, then eventually the food and grass will run out, and they will die together. You at least preserve the strength of your country." Jiang Lan said.

Xia Henqiu smiled, "You can also say that 100,000 lives, maybe as long as they swear to surrender to Fuchen, they can be released."

"That is to let the tiger return to the mountain, who knows what will happen in the future?" Jiang Lan shook his head, "But I want to know, is it the end of the war between the Celestial Dynasty and the northern countries, and peace until now?"

Xia Henqiu's long and narrow eyes bloomed with a strange brilliance, as if the sun suddenly shone on the finely crafted diamonds, reflecting a dazzling brilliance, dazzling and dazzling, eye-catching. That beautiful, pale, and elegant face was as if a burst of vitality was suddenly injected into his face, and a kind of vividness spread across his face. crescent moon.

He nodded to confirm her question, "Then they surrendered to the imperial court to this day, but no one knows what the future will be like."

He looked at her carefully and looked at the woman in front of him with a brand-new look. Maybe she was not good-looking, maybe she was from a humble background, but she was a girl with independent thoughts, and she could stand by Chu Qingcheng's side.

Allure, he is really a lucky guy, I really envy him.

The next day, the team was ready to go abroad.

The Nanling Mountains of the Celestial Dynasty and the Nanman state are naturally separated. This is the moat, which is difficult for ordinary people to climb. Therefore, although the two countries have fought many times, they have not merged and unified in the end.

Jiang Lan finally came to the only place where he could pass. It was a trumpet-like place with a wide open mouth facing the heaven, and then there was a long and slender passage, with steep cliffs on both sides, and it was impossible to climb at all. Guan Wanfu's imposing aura. If you pass directly through this passage, as long as the opponent is ready, you can catch them all on the other side. After all, in such a place, it is not easy to move forward and backward, and it is impossible to expand the contact surface.

The army is stationed in the place where the bell mouth is the smallest. Since the war between the two countries has only recently broken out and peace talks have not been resumed, the army is still on guard and does not dare to relax. In fact, such a channel is safe if the two sides are blocked. However, for some reason, they can communicate with each other during peacetime. It is probably the reason why some aspects are mutually dependent and complementary. So politics is a very wonderful thing. The country needs independence and security, but some special materials need to be circulated, so it can only be stopped and stopped.

When the envoy team arrived at the entrance of the jurisdiction, the army was released after seeing the certificate. Jiang Lan pulled up the curtain and secretly looked back, and saw a dark horse pacing far away, and immediately a man in full armor seemed to be looking at it, and after a while, he turned the horse's head and ran away. She didn't care, maybe it was some general who was monitoring the border.

The team continues to move forward. It takes courage to walk on such a long and narrow path. Walking here feels very depressing, and there is always an illusion of death. In fact, as long as there is a block on both sides, none of the people here will try to escape. Jiang Lan looked at the cliffs on both sides with the same knife, thinking about how such a geographical feature was formed.

I don't know how long it took, but the eyes finally opened up. There was also a huge bell mouth. There was an army stationed on the side. After the official plate was checked, the team finally entered the Nanman Kingdom.

Jiang Lan was very curious, so he asked Xia Henqiu, "What kind of country is the Nanman Kingdom?"

Since the conversation last night, Jiang Lan obviously felt that Xia Henqiu treated her politely and friendly. Before, she either suspected her as a murderer, or suspected that she deliberately seduced Chu Qingcheng, and rarely spoke to her. Even when facing her, she always brought her. Wearing a mask-like smile, it seems gentle, but it is actually thousands of miles away. But now when he was in front of her, his expression was indifferent and calm, and it was no longer that smiling face forever.

Xia Henqiu put down the scroll in his hand, thought about it, and said, "Nanman is special, different from the Celestial Dynasty, maybe a woman of the Celestial Dynasty like you can't accept it, where men can marry many wives, and women can also marry many husbands. Depends on who is the best."

Jiang Lan smiled lightly, what was unacceptable to her, she had been poisoned by online novels thousands of times, but it was just a collection of male-respect society and female-respect society, and whoever was stronger would be the man and the woman. After all, what a fair country, this is much stronger than a single male-dominated society or a female-respected society. Really fair, strong women finally have a place to survive and develop, and they can live like men as they want, without having to Consider the worldly vision.

Xia Henqiu looked at the smiling Jiang Lan, slightly surprised, "You don't find it shocking at all?"

Jiang Lan shook her head, she already knew it, but just to confirm, "Don't you think it's normal?"

Xia Henqiu smiled but did not say anything. He thought that it was natural because he was used to it since he was a child, but why did she also look calm, even a natural expression, does it mean that his original idea was correct? He looked at the leisurely Jiang Lan, and pressed down the doubts and excitement in his heart. Take it slow, don't worry, he will always figure it out.
