It was late at night, and in the capitals of the other three countries on the mainland, it was the time when the lights were shining brightly and the flow of people was blazing, but in Yongdu, the streets were already deserted at this time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe entire capital has been plunged into darkness except for a few places, and this city, which is rough but atmospheric in the daytime, has sunk into the night.

In the palace, His Royal Highness Ma Chao, who was still pale and sickly before, stood in front of the emperor with a bright look at the moment.

"Most of the 100,000 border troops in the south have been mastered by Bian Wushuang, but a group of original senior generals led by Yang Zhi still refuse to surrender, and these people can't make them bow down, so they must be killed." Ma Chao's tone was full of murderous aura, "Bian Wushuang can't kill the general in front of the battle, but you can." ”

"Father, the son is just worried, then Yang Zhi has been in the border army for a long time, and when he is about to fight, he will kill the general, will the army's morale fluctuate?" Ma Yue was a little worried.

"Li Dashuai said a word before he left, do you remember?" Ma Chao asked with a sneer.

"I wonder what my father said? Li Shuai said a lot before leaving. ”

"He said that this Great Qin is still the world of the Ma clan after all, and the subjects of the world recognize it as the banner of the Ma clan." Ma Chao curled the corners of his mouth, "So, let it go." Kill Yang Zhi and others, and then, you will represent me in the Zhaoying Gorge to command the battle, of course, you don't know much about fighting, but as long as you appear above the city, it is enough to show my attitude, and let the 100,000 border troops in the south understand my intentions. Deng Hong and they want to force me to change generals and completely take down the Bian family, they have crossed the line, and they must be the first to drink. ”

"Erchen knows what to do." Ma Yue nodded.

"Yuan Offering!" The Emperor turned back and called out to the shadows of the hall, and at his call, a thin old man with a knife on his back appeared in front of them like a ghost.

"The garden worship will go with you."

"Father, Yuan Feng is responsible for the security of the entire palace, and there are a few good hands under the command of the sons." Ma Chao exclaimed.

"No need, you and me, but the grandmaster." Ma Yue laughed, "I don't need protection, in Yongdu City, no one can threaten me, but in Zhaoying Gorge, it's different, An Ruhai is a good hand at the top of the ninth level, where are we Although there is a Bian Wushuang, it is not enough, bring it to the garden to worship, let that An Ruhai know that the Luoying Mountain Range is not his world." ”

"Then there will be a labor garden to worship." Ma Chao turned his head and bowed his hand to the garden.

The garden behind the emperor was enshrined, and he bowed slightly.

"I think Deng Hong will not let go of this opportunity, so they will definitely take action, you have to take the lead and arrange it, and kill these suspicious guys." Ma Yue admonished.

"My son understands."

Ma Yue bent down and saluted, turned around and strode away, Yuan Feng did not say a word, and followed Ma Yue closely to the outside of the main hall.

"It's a shame that Li Shuai killed Deng Fang." The emperor looked at the empty hall and sighed silently, if Deng Fang was there, he was afraid that Yongdu was already the world of the Deng family at this moment, and he could really only be an emperor in the palace.

In the imperial palace, I can't sleep at night, and in the same way, in Yongdu City, another place that represents the highest power center of Qin, Kaiping Palace, is also a gathering of heroes. For the Deng clan, this is an opportunity to completely cut off the Bian clan's power, and if the Bian clan is removed from the commander's position of the southern border army, almost all the soldiers and horses of Great Qin will be in the Deng clan's pocket, and the Deng clan can show their skills freely and vigorously, and there will be no fetters at all.

Deng Hong was named the king of Kaiping, and fully controlled the political affairs of Daqin, but since he entered Yongdu, the cleaning of the Bian family has not been carried out smoothly, one is deep in the palace, and it seems that the emperor who does not care about political affairs suddenly made a move, and the prince took over the intelligence organization sand ants in an all-round way, although Deng Hong had already prepared, the original deputy commander of the sand ants, Dai Shulun, led a part of the backbone of the sand ants to stealth in advance, which was regarded as keeping some intelligence strength for the Deng family, but losing Deng Fang was still an unbearable burden for the Deng family.

Whether it is Deng Hong or Deng Pu, he is good at military affairs and clumsy in political disputes, and he often can't see through the ghostly tricks between the civil officials of the imperial court. Second, the Bian family has been operating in Yongdu for many years, and the power is intertwined, from the court officials to the bottom lackey butchers, and an extremely strict net also binds the hands and feet of the Deng family.

The effect of Li Zhi killing Deng Fang before his death finally slowly appeared at this time. Although the Deng clan controlled the power, the emperor's control over the court was much stronger than before.

The emperor and the Bian family stood together without hesitation, which made Deng Hong quite constrained, and a proposal often dragged on for a long time and could not be resolved.

Only by completely knocking down the Deng clan can these tripwires be removed, which is the consensus of the Deng family.

"Lord Wang, this is a rare and good opportunity." Jin Shizhao, the secretary of the military department, had his eyes shining, he was the first senior official of the ministry after Deng Hong entered the court, and he was also the absolute hardcore of the Deng family.

"The seizure of power before the army is an unprecedented large-scale move." Deng Hong hesitated a little, "Actually, Bian Wushuang is right about one thing, that is, we must stick to Zhaoying Gorge, the enemy is current, if there is a big change in the army, I am afraid that the army's heart will fluctuate, which is not conducive to the big war." ”

"Lord Wang, when the judgment continues, it will be chaotic. Bian Wushuang is a person with means, he went to the southern border army for more than half a year, but he has already ambushed a lot of people, Deng's influence in the southern border army is decreasing step by step, and if he doesn't make a move, I'm afraid it will be too late, if Bian Wushuang wins in Zhaoyingxia and holds this node, then his prestige in the army will rise, and his prestige will rise, which represents the reduction of Deng's influence in the southern border army. Then there is not a glimmer of chance. Dai Shulun persuaded. When you should be ruthless, you must be ruthless, and you must not be indecisive at this time! Yang Zhi has followed General Deng for a long time, and he has a lot of experience in mountain warfare, this time Yang Zhi retreated without a fight at Jingjing Pass, and he was already under great pressure, although he did not seek the opinion of the prince before doing this, and obtained the consent of the prince, but there is no doubt that he is loyal to the prince, and this move is also to force the prince to make a move. ”

"I'm just annoyed that he's doing it on his own. If he guards the well pass, the king will be harder in the court. Deng Hong said with some annoyance.

"That being said, if Yang Zhi fights to the death in Jingjing Pass, the people who die will be the elite of the prince, and it will hurt the hearts of the prince's soldiers! At this time, Yang Zhi must be given the greatest support, as long as Yang Zhi is allowed to take command, then it is not a problem to hold the Shadow Gorge, what matters is the result, not the process, isn't it? ”

Deng Hong went back and forth in the house several times, and finally made up his mind, "Okay, I will personally write a few letters to Zhaoyingxia, Shulun, you go over in person, make proper arrangements, and make sure that you succeed in one fell swoop, so that the officers and soldiers in the army can coax Yang Zhi to take the position, seize the military power first, and then win the battle of Zhaoyingxia, then we will take the initiative." ”

"The prince's move is very good." Jin Shizhao said happily: "After this battle, the Bian clan will have no future, and at that time, whether in the army or in the court, the forces against the prince will collapse, and we, under the leadership of the prince, will revitalize the prestige of the Great Qin." Destroying Chu and Ming, competing for hegemony with the Qi country, I am a great Qin warrior, and I am the best in the world, but I have been imprisoned in this remote west for many years, it is time for us to go out and fight. ”

Zhaoying Gorge, the base camp of the border army of the Qin State, is also the last bottom line of the Qin State demarcated by Bian Wushuang, and if you retreat here, the Qin army will not take another step back. On the second day when Bian Wenzhong led 20,000 reinforcements to arrive at the Zhaoying Gorge camp and began to strengthen the defense, Yang Zhi led more than 10,000 soldiers who had returned from the front line and set up a large camp on the General Mountain on the right side of the Zhaoying Gorge.

When Yang Zhi left Jingjing Pass, there were only seven or eight thousand people under his command, and the army was repeatedly dispersed into various military villages, and then retreated little by little, and finally when it reached the Zhaoyingxia camp, his subordinates did not decrease but increased, but expanded to more than 10,000 people.

Just ten days after the Qin army retreated to Zhaoying Gorge, An Ruhai's Chu army arrived as scheduled, under the tactical play formulated before the scissors left, the Chu army frog jumped forward, leaving one Qin army fortress after another, interspersed, divided, and then eaten, when they did all this, the entire army was like the previous plan, naturally gathered together, and pounced on the last fortress of the Qin army in the Luoying Mountains.

Five years ago, the Qin army set out from here and swallowed the western army of Chu in one bite, and five years later, the feng shui took turns, but the Chu army came back.

This kind of combat technique of scissors is not uncommon for Yang Zhi, because he has been fighting against the Chu army in the Luoying Mountains for many years, and he has long known it. But Bian Wushuang did not have this kind of experience, when he took office, he set up a military village in the Luoying Mountains, which seemed to be fortified layer by layer, but in fact there was no defense everywhere, but Yang Zhi did not say a word, and the war was together, he knew that it was bound to be the end of defeat, so he resisted a little, and then retreated. And Yang Zhi knew that Bian Wushuang's tactics would fail but did not say a word, naturally because of the result of the struggle between the two factions, if Bian Wushuang did not step down, Yang Zhi would have no possibility of coming to power. Someone will inevitably take responsibility for the fiasco, and there is no doubt that only the coach will be responsible for this responsibility.
