In the Chu army camp, An Ruhai sat quietly there, actually reading a book. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Except for the burning torches in the big tent, there was hardly anyone gasping for breath. All the senior generals of the Western Army of Chu were all summoned here by An Ruhai, but they didn't say anything, everyone, you look at me, I look at you, looking at each other, I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the general's gourd.

The sound of bangzi outside the big tent rang the time of the third watch, and Suqian finally couldn't help it, and coughed lightly: "General." ”

An Ruhai raised his head and looked at him.

"General!" Looking at An Ruhai's calm face, Su Qian blushed a little, feeling that he was still a little depressed, but since he had already started, he naturally would not stop.

"I have to fight tomorrow, I don't know if the general summons the last general to wait, what are your orders?" He asked.

An Ruhai put down the book, "Maybe you don't have to wait until tomorrow." ”

"What do you mean, General? Is it a night attack? Suqian raised his eyebrows, "The Qin army opposite us is not a rabble, their combat experience is much richer than ours, we are here, there is no geographical convenience at all, we can't take advantage of the night battle, so the Qin army will have a big advantage." The last general is opposed to launching an attack on the Shadow Gorge at night, maybe the Qin people are looking forward to us! ”

An Ruhai chuckled and shook his head: "That's not what I mean. What do you think of today's battle? ”

"The Qin army is indeed fierce." Su Qian thought for a while: "This is their last barrier, naturally they will not give up easily, general, their reinforcements have arrived, we want to take Zhaoying Gorge, but we are afraid that we will not be able to catch it, if there is no major turnaround, the last general suggests, stop in moderation, and consolidate our existing achievements." ”

After Suqian finished speaking, there was already a voice of echo in the tent. This time, the spring offensive launched by the Chu army was to take advantage of the death of Li Zhi of Qin, the coming to power of Deng, the fall of Bian, and the chaos of the domestic political situation, hoping to regain the strategic advantage in the Luoying Mountains and restore the situation between the two countries to the appearance of Zuo Lixing when he unified the army five years ago. As long as this strategic goal is achieved, the state of Chu will have spare strength in the west, and will no longer be led by the nose by the Qin people, thus pulling the political situation in the country, and it can also allow the imperial court to pour all its energy into the battle between the eastern front and the Qi people, in order to recover the unfavorable situation on the eastern front.

Fighting until now, the strategic goal conceived before the war has now been basically achieved, and if you fight further, that is, you will have to fight to the death with the Qin people, and the attack on Zhaoying Gorge these days has confirmed this idea, and the Qin people will not retreat again, but are ready to fight to the death with the Chu people here.

This is not what Chu Jun wants.

"General Su is right. In fact, now, we have all got what we deserved. An Ruhai patted the book lightly and said with a smile: "But people's hearts are insufficient, I always want to get something." So I'm waiting, waiting for the good news that I might get tonight, and if I really wait, it will be the luck of Dachu, the blessing of you. ”

"What are you waiting for?" Su Qian said with a smile: "Could it be that someone among the Qin people wants to abandon the darkness and turn to the light and lead us into the Zhaoying Gorge?" ”

Suqian's witty words made everyone in the big tent laugh, and the original tension was swept away.

"We have been fighting Zhaoyingxia for so long, Yang Zhi of General Mountain has not moved, but today it moved, and at the same time, Bian Wushuang also came, it can be said that the power of Zhaoyingxia has been greatly strengthened, but have you thought of it, why did Yang Zhi move today?"

"Bian Wushuang is the commander, Yang Zhi can not bird Bian Wenzhong, but Bian Wushuang has come to support, and he still does not move, I'm afraid that he can't say it, right?" Suqian Road.

"Do you think Yang Zhi will be afraid of Bian Wushuang?" An Ruhai shook his head: "If he was really afraid of Bian Wushuang, he wouldn't have abandoned the pass at Jingjing Pass and left, Yang Zhi was waiting, he was waiting for Bian Wushuang to arrive at Zhaoying Gorge." ”

The big tent slowly fell silent, and even the most sluggish general understood the meaning of An Ruhai's words.

"The 100,000 border troops in the south of the Qin State have always been under the command of Deng Pu before, and most of the generals in the army are the generals of the Deng family, and Bian Wushuang has only been in office for half a year. But Bian Wushuang is not an ordinary person, and his methods must have threatened the Deng clan in this army, so they must think of self-help, drive Bian Wushuang away, and let this army return to the Deng clan. An Ruhai explained.

"Therefore, starting from the defeat of Yang Zhi in Jingjing Pass, these people in the Qin army are preparing for today, waiting for Bian Wushuang to arrive at Zhaoying Gorge."

"Are they going to mutiny?" Suqian was suddenly overjoyed. "No wonder Yang Zhi rushed to support today, he wanted to enter the Zhaoying Gorge to launch a mutiny, so in this way, among the Qin troops inside the Zhaoying Gorge, there must be someone to support him."

"It's not to support him, originally many of them were people from Deng Pu's family." Someone corrected Suqian's statement. "But Bian Wushuang is not a fool, but a very powerful character, I think I also have a premonition and a way to deal with such a thing, Yang Zhi will not wait, because every day of waiting, Bian Wushuang's position will be more consolidated for one day, and if there is no delay, there will be changes later, those generals who originally supported Yang Zhi are likely to change their views with Bian Wushuang's methods, and Yang Zhi will force the palace tonight."

"There may be infighting in the Shadow Gorge!" Su Qian looked at An Ruhai: "It turns out that the general is waiting for this." ”

An Ruhai smiled and nodded: "The spies are closely watching all the movements inside the Shadow Gorge at the moment, as long as there is turmoil, it will be our chance, if we can win the Shadow Gorge, then this trip, we will make a lot of money." ”

All the generals understood all this, they were overjoyed, the generals wanted to be promoted and make a fortune, the most convenient channel was undoubtedly the outstanding military exploits, An Ruhai had reached the apex of the generals, and they no longer needed anything, but they were still eager to go further. But the center of gravity of the imperial court has always been in the east, and their western army is not too important. But this time, when the eastern front could not open the situation for a long time and was even pressed by the Qi army, when most of the resources of the western army in the country were inclined to the eastern front, it made a major breakthrough instead, taking Zhaoying Gorge and even attacking the Qin state itself, which was definitely a great victory that shook the whole country. not only washed away the shame of the defeat five years ago, but also went a step further, greatly increasing the national prestige of the Chu State.

If the east is not bright and the west is bright, maybe the imperial court will tilt more resources towards the western army.

Now in the Zhaoying Gorge, the strength of Yang Zhi and Bian Wu's hands should be said to be about the same, if there is really infighting, it will inevitably be a cruel infighting, for the Chu army, it is like pie falling from the sky, picking up a big credit in vain.

How can people not like such a good thing?

Zhaoyingxia camp, Ma Chao held a chess piece between his fingers, snapped, landed on the chessboard, looked at Bian Wushuang with a smile, Bian Wushuang sighed lightly, the sunspot in his hand wanted to fall, but finally took it back, repeated it three times, he chuckled, and threw the sunspot in his hand into the chess box, "Your Highness's stroke of genius, the minister admits defeat." There are still five steps at most, and the great dragon of Chen is about to be slaughtered. ”

"Bian Qing is a little absent-minded!" Ma Chao shook his head slightly. In the past, when the royal family, the Bian family, and the Deng family were three-legged, he looked at Bian Wushuang's face a little hateful, but now that the times have changed, the Bian family must rely on the royal family to survive and become a real royal thug, and then look at this person's face, it is much more pleasing to the eye.

The political situation of Qin is different from other countries, and the delicate balance situation formed over the years has made the power of the emperor of Qin the smallest of the four countries, and the emperor of the other three countries is a decision, but in Qin, any decision of the imperial family must be the result of the balance of the three families, and it is naturally not so comfortable for the imperial family.

People are more angry than people.

If it wants to gain that supreme power, then the Qin state must make changes. The Bian family has become a loyal fighter of the royal family, and the only remaining opponent is the Deng family.

"Your Highness, the minister doesn't have the calmness of you." Bian Wushuang sighed: "There are hidden worries inside, and there are tigers outside, how can the minister calm down?" ”

An Ruhai has been by Min Wei's side for many years, and he is used to political disputes, he must have guessed that the Shadow Gorge will not be calm tonight, and he must be eyeing it. This made Wen Zhong lead the army to be on tight guard, and he was also worried about this person's sudden attack, right? ”

"Yes." Bian Wushuang nodded and looked directly at Ma Chao.

Ma Chao didn't think it was wrong, and slowly picked up the chess pieces back into the chess box one by one, "If I can't control the scene today, those soldiers are more loyal to the Deng family than to the royal family, what are you going to do?" ”

"If that's the case, the minister will bargain with Yang Zhi, so that the minister can leave the Qin State with his people and go into exile." Bian Wushuang lowered his head and said, "No matter what, I won't let the blood flow in this Zhaoying Gorge, this is my bottom line." ”

"Very good, just for you, my Ma clan also has to keep your Bian clan safe. In the future, you will face An Ruhai here, do you have a chance of winning? ”

"An Ruhai is old, and he won't last many years." Bian Wushuang said: "And after An Ruhai, the Chu people are afraid that they will never be able to find a general like him again." So as long as there is enough time, Chen is confident that he can fight back again. ”

"Time, we all need time. This time, I'm not worried about how much of a storm Yang Zhizhi will make, but I'm more worried about how the Deng clan will react after completely losing control of this army? After all, the vast majority of Qin's army is now in his hands. ”

"How is Xiao Qiang?"

"The grass on the wall, the wind blows on both sides. All he wants is his own interests. ”

As the last chess piece was put into the chess box, the ears of the Yuan worshippers, who had been standing quietly in the corner of the house, suddenly moved, "Your Highness, it begins." ”

The two people who were playing against each other listened to each other, and sure enough, the faint noise had begun to come.

"The big drama has begun." Ma Chao stood up with a smile.
