In September of the first year of Han Yuande, the autumn was high and cool, and the geese flew south.
The Han crusade army led by Yi Zong finally arrived at Xiangping, the seat of Liaodong County.
Xiangping County belongs to a strategic center in the Han Dynasty's defense line.
The so-called Xiangxiang defense line is a defense line similar to a string of pearls built by the Han family on the basis of the Great Wall from the Yang to the Xiangping generation of the Warring States and Qin dynasties.
On this line of defense, the five counties of Shanggu, Yuyang, Youbeiping, Liaoxi, and Liaodong were intertwined, and they were horns of each other, locking the gateway to the northeast of the Han Dynasty and resisting the threat from the north.
However, few people know, or remember, how the line of defense was built.
"In the twenty-eighth year of King Yan Zhao, Yan will Le Yi cut down Qi, take more than 70 cities, Yan is prosperous" righteous riding horses, jumping up a hillside, looking at Xiangping in the distance but mixed feelings, full of emotion: "Later, Yan will Qin Kai cut down Hu, but more than 1,000 miles east Hu, began to build the Great Wall, from the creation of Yang to Xiangping" Thinking of these histories in his heart, Yi Zong couldn't help but sigh: "When the Yan people built Xiangping City, it means that all Hu Chengping and defeated the enemy, but since Qin, Xiangping has been reduced to a defensive fortress until today."
And that's exactly what happened The Great Wall built by the Yan people was not so much a line of defense as a bridgehead painstakingly prepared for an attack.
During the Warring States Period, Yan was second only to Korea in the Chinese Civil War.
But it is located in the north, facing Hu on three sides.
Qin Chu, Zhao Wei and other powerful countries in the Central Plains Yan people couldn't help it.
But the surrounding Hu people Yidi, Yan Guo's father is under no pressure to crush.
They expanded more than 1,000 miles to the north and more than 2,000 miles to the east.
In essence, at least half of this Xiangxiang defense line, or the Great Wall of Yan, was snatched by the Yan people from the mouths of Donghu and other chaotic Yidi barbarians.
The Yan Kingdom built this Great Wall not for simple defense, but more for attack and to expand the territory.
After all, except for Le Yi, it will be awesome for a few years.
Hanging Qi abroad, the Yan State during the Warring States Period was a small subject that was adjusted and taught by various countries in turn.
The Yan army was even more defeated in the civil war.
It's almost a constant reparation for cutting land and sending a sister.
Under such circumstances, if Yan Guo had not found some way to make up for the deficits and losses, it was estimated that it would have been wiped out long ago.
Especially in the last years of the Warring States period, as the threat of the Qin State increased day by day.
The royal family and nobles of the Yan Kingdom were forced to be in a hurry, and constantly launched wars of conquest through the bridgehead of the Xiangxiang defense line.
Today's Han Dynasty's eastern border can continue to the banks of the Beishui River, and its influence extends into the Korean Peninsula, thanks to the desperate expansion of the Yan people after being forced into a corner.
It's just that although the Yan people have already worked hard, the Qin people have worked harder than them.
What's even more troublesome is that the Yan people worked so hard that they even took out the last coffin, and the territory that they had finally conquered could not be immediately converted into human and material resources and soldiers.
On the contrary, the power of the Yan State was used in large quantities for external expansion.
So, it's tragic.
Then the Qin State, which destroyed the Yan State, although it was famous among the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, had a good stomach and teeth, and its digestive function was unique in the world.
But in the face of such a big Yan country, even if it is a fighting commodity among foodies, the Qin people only have time to sigh, and before they can completely digest it, they are shattered by a roar from Daze Township.
Since the Han Dynasty, because of the rise of the Xiongnu.
The defense line really became a simple line of defense, and it no longer took on the task that its builders had hoped for.
At this moment, Yi Zong stood on the top of this mountain, looking out at the undulating mountains in the distance. and the Great Wall, which winds its way forward and is densely covered with beacons.
I can't help but feel a sense of witnessing history after nearly 60 years, this line of defense has once again become the bridgehead and strategic cornerstone of the Chinese army's external expansion.
At the same time, Yi Zong also has a pilgrimage-like feeling in his heart.
The idols of most soldiers in the world are either grandchildren or Sima Xiang and Wu Zi, and then Bai Qi and Li Mu.
But the idol of righteousness.
But it is not these famous figures in history, the general he admires is the founder of this Xiangping City, unknown in the history books, and the brilliance is blocked by those bright stars of the Yan people Qin Kai.
In that year, Qin Kai was a Yan general and presided over foreign conquest.
To the north, Qin Kai defeated Donghu and forced Donghu to go more than a thousand miles, and to the east, Qin Kai pushed the territory of Yan to hundreds of miles north of Xiangping, and built a city here as a fortress.
At that time, the status of Donghu on the grassland was almost the same as the status of the Xiongnu on the grassland today.
It is because of this that Yi Zong worships the general who has only left a few records in the history books.
"I want the general to be in Japan, attack Hu in the north, conquer Yi in the east, and expand the land for thousands of miles, what a hero to cover the world" Yi Zong thought silently in his heart: "Today, the boy is also indispensable, to learn from the general, to conquer the east, to expand the land for the Son of Heaven, and in the future, to go out of the expedition, take the Xiongnu single at the head, and dedicate the Han Palace" "Those who have been good at fighting since ancient times have no outstanding achievements" Yizong swore in his heart: "I would rather be thousands of years later, my descendants will be above the history and not hear my name" Although Yi Zong is young, he understands a truth: if future generations remember his name and hold him in high esteem, it will not mean that everything he has done today has finally proved to be in vain Yizong would rather be forgotten, just like his idol Qin Kai in the unknown corners of the history books, like a silent watchman, lonely to tell his story, and the territory he conquered will always be the land of China, and the enemies he defeated will disappear in smoke Yizong believes that the soldiers who have achieved this step are the real soldiers.
Righteousness rode forward, and the spirit of the whole person suddenly rose.
He seemed to feel that more than a hundred years ago, Qin Kai had also ridden a horse and led the army on this road.
Yi Zong couldn't help but turn his head and stare at the mountains and rivers behind him.

He felt that Qin Kai had also been like him, staring at the land behind him.
"I know, this is the duty of a general" Yizong suddenly had a kind of realization: "I, like Qin Kai, are loyal to my monarch and love this land deeply, so we will continue to move forward" "Playing music" shouted the righteous horses.
Hearing his order, Yu Linwei's entourage musicians played music.
"Singing" Yizong ordered again, and he himself took the lead in singing first: "How can it be said that there is no clothes and the son is the same as the king Yu Xingshi, repair my spear, and have the same hatred with the son."
The desolate and heroic Qin Feng suddenly resounded throughout this world.
In the dark, Yi Zong knew that a hundred and ten years ago, Qin Kai must have also led his soldiers to sing generous and tragic Yan songs, and marched towards the battlefield that belonged to them.
