Pingjing, the imperial capital of Great Qin.

Pingjing City is located in the middle of the pass, backed by the northern vein of the Qinling Mountains, extremely prosperous of civil engineering, rich in treasures, the king is steaming, and even the appearance of the city gate is different from other ordinary cities. The city gate is exceptionally hard and thick, as if there is a dragon's groan.

Looking at this majestic city wall, it is hard to imagine that this royal capital, which is full of simplicity and heaviness, has been standing here for more than a hundred years.

In Pingjing City, it is really a piece of prosperity, the street is wide, there are restaurants and restaurants along the way, the green tile light wall, the eaves are overlapping, the trees on the road on both sides are like javelins, standing straight, quite spectacular, the figures on the street are sufficient, come and go, endlessly.

At this time, on the spacious street, there was a carriage that was slowly moving towards the palace, and ordinary people were frightened when they saw this carriage, and they lowered their heads as if they had seen a ghost to avoid the carriage, lest they were afraid that they would block the carriage.

Pingjing City is divided into the inner and outer cities, the outer city has a moat, which is a place for ordinary people to haunt, and the inner city is the residential area of those princes and nobles or high-ranking officials, and there are soldiers appointed by the Qin Emperor to guard it to prevent idle people from entering it. And inside the inner city, there is another city, which is naturally the imperial city of Emperor Liu Jian's own Qin.

Between the inner and outer cities, there are four large districts in the south, east, and west, and each district has a commander-in-chief who is responsible for assisting in the coordination of the affairs of the area under its jurisdiction.

The carriage proceeded slowly along the main street, and in a short time it came into a rather deserted street, which was not far from the Imperial City, but it could not be said that it would be there immediately.

On the street, there is a mansion every other distance, and there is a pair of stone lions squatting outside each mansion, dozens of stone lions are spread out on both sides of the long street, squatting in front of their own houses, staring at the cars and people walking by the street boredly and lazily.

As the carriage passed, it was possible to see that there seemed to be eyes looking into the chariot in the half-hidden gates of the houses, and sometimes even the eyes hidden in the cracks of the doors, and when the eyes swept over the carriage, the gate was immediately closed.

This street seems to have no end to the long street, where there are more than a dozen mansions, all of which are high-level officials, "Shangshu Mansion", "General's Mansion", "Imperial Envoy's Mansion", each mansion seems to occupy an extremely wide area

At last, the carriage slowed down slowly, until it came to a stop in front of a grand mansion, and at the door of the mansion stood more or less dozens of people, the first of whom was about fifty years old, slightly fat, with a white beard and a ruddy complexion, and at first glance he was a rich man.

The man was full of smiles, and when he saw the carriage stop, he immediately led everyone to salute respectfully: "See the general!" ”

After the carriage stopped, a person slowly walked out from above, that person was more than eight feet tall, with long black hair, a slender and straight sword eyebrows, slender black eyes that contained sharp black eyes as cold as cold stars, thin and light lips, angular outlines, slender and tall but not rough figure, like an eagle in the night, cold and arrogant but full of grandeur, and the strength of the world exuded by independence.

Needless to say, this person is the general of the Western Qin, one of the seven unique "white horse generals" Du Chong.

Only Du Chong can be called a general, and only Du Chong can be greeted by so many people.

Du Chong glanced at the person in front lightly, thought for a while, and then said, "What's the matter, Wen Shangshu, you all came to greet me, is there anything to discuss?" ”

When Wen Shangshu at the front heard this, he just nodded with his eyes and said, "General, it was the Holy Lord who asked us to enter the palace with the general, saying that there was a discussion. ”

When Du Chong heard this, he immediately sank down, his brows furrowed, he didn't know what he was thinking, and he slowly asked after half a sound: "Do you know what it is?" ”

Wen Shangshu heard this, hesitated slightly for a while, and then confided: "It seems to be ...... It was a war against Wei. ”

When Du Chong heard this, he couldn't help but "chuckle" in his heart, and only felt that he had a bad premonition.

----------------------

On the side of the Qin Palace, there is a very quiet courtyard, which is the location of the emperor's study, without the permission of the Qin Emperor, no one is allowed to enter and leave this courtyard at will, including the concubines in the Qin Palace, the same is true.

There are two oak trees in the courtyard, which are planted diagonally in the southeast and northwest corners, standing upright in the wind.

The simple and elegant study was silent at this time, in the study, there was a person sitting on the soft collapse behind the case, two people were sitting on the side seat, and in front of the seat was the tea that the person had just sent up, which was still warm at this time, and both of them did not serve tea, but just lowered their heads and waited quietly for the person on the collapse to speak.

It was the middle of winter, and the lights were lit in the room, which was much brighter than the darkness outside, and the charcoal fire in the stove crackled like fried beans, which seemed a little abrupt in this very quiet room.

Finally, the man on the top paused and spoke.

"Do you know why the widow invited the two of you to come today?"

Wen Shangshu below first replied intently: "The Holy Lord invited Weichen and the general to come, I am afraid that it is for the front-line war." ”

When Emperor Qin heard this, he suddenly laughed loudly, like a tiger roaring, like thunder, and shook that Wen Shangshu is eardrum deaf.

"Yes, this widow called you here just to talk about the barbarian of the Wei Kingdom."

Emperor Qin said, he just drank a pot of tea on the case, and after a few sips of tea, he didn't even think about it, he just wiped his mouth with his hand, and he looked very rude.

Wen Shangshu, who was sitting in the side, inadvertently glanced at the appearance of the Qin Emperor, his face was expressionless, obviously he was not surprised by this Liu Jian's habits.

After Liu Jian wiped his mouth, he said loudly: "Our Tongguan has been captured by the barbarians of the Wei State. After finishing speaking, a pair of tiger eyes looked at the two people below, and when he saw that Wen Shangshu was suddenly frowning, he was a little funny in his heart, and when he saw that Du Chong was still a light and breezy appearance, he nodded approvingly in his heart.

Wen Shangshu was indeed quite surprised when he heard Liu Jian's words, and after thinking about it, he arched his hand to Liu Jian: "Dare to ask the Holy Lord, do you know how the Wei people captured the impregnable Tongguan of my Great Qin?" ”

When Liu Jian heard this, he smiled, turned his head to look at Du Chong, who was listening quietly on the other side, picked his eyelids, and said, "I don't know General Du, can you guess?" ”

When Du Chong heard this, he pondered for a while, and finally his eyelids blinked, and he slowly spit out two words from his mouth

"Sneak the pass."

When Liu Jian heard this, he was immediately interested, and he looked at Na Du Chong with a smile in his eyes and asked, "Oh? What's the stealing method? ”

Du Chong didn't answer immediately, but looked at the tea in front of him that was still steaming white, watched the wisps of smoke slowly rise, and finally turned into nothingness, shook his head, and said lightly after half a sound: "Walk from Heishui Mountain, turn to Tongguan Pass, and open the gate." ”

Before Liu Jian could answer, Wen Shangshu, who was listening to Du Chong's analysis, couldn't sit still, only to see that he said dumbly: "This ...... How is this possible, over the Heishui Mountain, General Du, don't make such a joke in front of Your Majesty. ”

When Du Chong heard this, he smiled faintly: "I'm just guessing like this, and I'm not completely sure, but since Tongguan was captured by the Wei people in just one night, if it wasn't for smuggling into Heishui Mountain, I really can't imagine what way the Wei people would have to take Tongguan." ”

Wen Shangshu wanted to say something, but he saw that Liu Jian, who had been silent for a while, waved his hand, and said loudly: "General Du is right, according to the news from the front, the Wei barbarians did cross the Heishui Mountain, went around the pass and opened the gate to let the Wei army enter the pass. ”

Du Chong nodded, then thought of something, and wondered: "How many Wei soldiers are there who have crossed Heishui Mountain?" ”

"Less than five hundred." Liu Jian shook his head, just sighed and said.

Du Chong nodded: "It's almost the same as what I preemptive, so dare to ask Your Majesty, do you know who led it?" ”

Liu Jian frowned, but his face sank, and he waited for a while before he said, "It seems to be ...... It's like a farmer. ”

"Farmer?" Rao is quite steady Du Chong, and when he heard this, he unconsciously lost his mind slightly.
