?In the early morning, the sky was gloomy, and the early morning mist shrouded the surroundings, creating a hazy scene everywhere.
In the morning, Handan, the capital of Zhao, stands on the vast land, like a monstrous beast, sleeping quietly.
Handan, the ancient capital of the State of Zhao, has a long history. It is located at the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain, which is the junction of the four modern provinces of Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong and Henan.
?It borders Liaocheng, Shandong in the east, Anyang, Henan in the south, Changzhi, Shanxi in the west, and Xingtai in the north.
The maximum longitudinal distance from north to south is 104 kilometers, and the maximum horizontal distance from east to west is 180 kilometers.
It is full of strong historical charm, rich cultural heritage, and a sense of vicissitudes that have experienced the rise and fall of the times.
The word Handan first appeared in the "Spring and Autumn Guliang Biography" ("The twenty-seventh year of Duke Xiang: so he went to Jin, weaving in Handan, and never saying anything about defense."). It was called Handan in ancient times (Zhao Handan County. Congyi, Gan Sheng. - "Shuowen".
Zhu said: "Now in Handan County, Guangping Prefecture, Zhili, there is Mount Handan in Gandhi.") The origin of the place name of Handan is now generally based on the annotations of Zhang Yan, a native of Wei during the Three Kingdoms period in "Hanshu Geography": "Handan Mountain, in Under the east city, it is single and exhausted, and the city outline follows the city, so it is added to the city."
It means that the place name of Handan comes from Handan Mountain. Under the east city of Handan, there is a mountain called Hanshan. Shan is the end of the mountain range. Yi, so Shan Pang added Yi (Úâ) to become Handan. As a place name, Handan has been used unchanged for three thousand years, which is a special case of Chinese place name culture.
? The city of Handan originated in Shang Yin.
The domain of Handan belonged to the state of Wei in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and it was the land of Jin in the Spring and Autumn Period. At that time, Handan was already a well-known city with relatively developed agriculture, handicrafts and commerce. In the twelfth year of Duke Ding of the Jin Dynasty (500 BC), Zhao Yang (Zhao Jianzi), Zhengqing of the Jin State, brought Handan into his sphere of influence. Since then, Handan has become the hereditary territory of the Zhao family. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Handan first belonged to Wei and then Jin.
? In 386 BC, Zhao Jinghou moved his capital to Handan and was the capital of Zhao State for 158 years.
However, Handan is indeed a deserted scene now, and many of the original residents have fled here, and went to further places to avoid the war.
The original bustling and bustling scene is gone forever.
At this time, less than two-thirds of the population remained in Handan City, and the originally bustling streets gradually became deserted.
At this time, a knight in Zhao Jun's armor in the distance immediately planted a flag.
The letter "Emergency Military Situation" is approaching Handan City rapidly.
"Drive!"
This knight is not very old, with a handsome face, and his delicate face is full of sweat, which is constantly dripping.
He kept waving his whip anxiously, urging the horses to move forward quickly.
At this time, the Zhao Guo garrison who was guarding the gate of the city saw him at a glance, and hurriedly shouted: "Who is here!" Fast and transparent!
Now it is the period when Qin and Zhao are at war, and all the Zhao troops are tense, and their guards are very strict to prevent the Qin army from mixing into the city.
In the past, there were many cases where the Qin army mixed into the city through this move, causing the city to fall.
"Hurry up and open the city! I have an urgent military situation to report! Don't delay!"
While speaking, the knight threw a copper token directly to the Zhao Jun defender in front.
General Zhao Jun took the token, checked it carefully, confirmed that it was correct, and immediately ordered someone to open the city: This is true, open the city quickly!
"Drive!" The knight rushed into the city of Handan again at full speed.
"Tap-tat-tat!" The loud sound of horseshoes resounded through the main road of Handan City, which was originally quiet and deserted.
A knight was galloping past on a horse with an anxious face.
The people in the nearby houses were startled by the sound, and opened their windows one after another to secretly check.
Some people who went out by the roadside also started to discuss: "Look! That knight looks so anxious, he doesn't want to think about the bad news a few times before, does it mean that our army has been defeated again?"
"No, I'll hurry up and buy more food, prepare it, and let the family hide at home honestly, hey! In this world, what's going on with our army, what a waste!"
Some people started to discuss it. It seems that they were frightened by the fiasco of Zhao Jun these few times, they became worried, and they didn't have much confidence in Zhao's army.
This is the Zhao Palace in the center of Handan City, where a court meeting is being held.
A man wearing a crown and royal clothes was roaring angrily at the civil and military officials below.
This is the current King Zhao of the State of Zhao. He is pale and handsome. His eyes are dim, and it looks like he is drinking too much, and his ambition is too weak.?? look.
"What are you people doing for food! You let the Qin army attack near Handan, why didn't you find out in advance that this is what our army is like? The annual military expenditure is to support these wastes!"
"Your Majesty, calm down. It's not our army's waste. It's the Qin army who took advantage of the development of our country and Yan State to attack the southern border. Our army was unprepared and this led to the current situation. Please rest assured, our army is now prepared. , can definitely turn the situation around.¡±
An old minister said tremblingly.
The rest of the civil and military also quickly echoed.
Want to extinguish King Zhao's anger.
While they were discussing matters, an old eunuch guarding the door saw the young general walking anxiously and quickly stopped him: "What's the matter with you? Your Majesty is discussing matters now, we can talk about things later. "
The young knight quickly and respectfully said to the eunuch: "Reporting to the eunuch, there will be an urgent military situation to report at the end. Regarding the Qin army, the Qin army has conquered Pingyang and wiped out 100,000 of our army. The general of our army died in battle."
While talking, the young general handed him the information and asked him to present it to the king.
After the eunuch finished monitoring, his expression was startled, and he immediately felt the seriousness of the matter. He took the military report and asked him to step back, while he immediately walked into the hall anxiously to report to King Zhao.
When everyone in the hall saw him coming in, they fell silent.
"What's the matter with you?"
When Zhao Wang saw the eunuch, his expression eased. It turned out that this eunuch had been with Zhao Wang for many years and was his confidant.
King Zhao knew that he must have something important to report, so he broke into the hall.
The eunuch quickly stepped forward, came to King Zhao, whispered something in his ear, and handed him the Yifeng cloth, and then slowly retreated to King Zhao's side, bowing his head , silent.
King Zhao listened to his words, while looking at the military newspaper, his face became more and more ugly, like a chameleon, very funny.
But none of the civil and military people present felt amused, and they rushed to feel palpitations. Something big must have happened, otherwise their king would not be like this.
Sure enough, King Zhao was furious.
He swept everything on the table to the ground, kicked the table over, and shouted loudly: "Bastard, damn it! Waste, you are all waste! One hundred thousand troops, just like that The words are gone! They can¡¯t even defend a small Pingyang, what are they doing for food! Hmm! They were attacked by the Qin army by detour across the river. Execute to justice!"
A civil servant asked cautiously: "What's the matter with your majesty coming out?"
When Zhao Wang heard what he said, he was so angry that he put the cloth on his face directly and let him see for himself.
All the ministers had no choice but to gather around and read the military newspaper carefully.
So after people read it, they were all silent, and the scene was silent for a while.
"Say it! Talk! What you said just now is very pleasant. What you said can turn the situation around soon. Now? This is what you said to turn the situation around! It's ridiculous! It's ridiculous! You are a bunch of trash! You should be pulled out and killed Already!"
Seeing their reaction, King Zhao became even angrier, saying that the situation would be reversed quickly, which was extremely ridiculous.
The ministers below did not dare to answer, so they could only shrink their heads and let the king vent his anger.
They fell to their knees one after another: "The minister is guilty, please appease the king!"
King Zhao ignored them at all, and kept yelling and cursing at them. He was still on the main seat, walking up and down, very irritable.
In the end, King Zhao's mouth was dry and he felt tired, so he calmed down and slowly returned to his original position.
The ministers below were also very uncomfortable with the constant bombing by King Zhao, but they didn't dare to show it, so they had to hold on.
It was suddenly seeing that the king had calmed down, and everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, feeling that their official positions and wealth had finally been preserved.
