Seeing that the battle situation was decided, all the generals gathered happily under Zhao Wuyi's handsome banner. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info saluted neatly: "Handsome, the last general will be fortunate to live up to his mission!" ”

"Well done. After the defeat of Tongguan City, our winter offensive will be successfully over," Zhao Wuji also showed a rare smile on his face, and said with a slight bow: "The reward of the old man who can be the master will be fulfilled immediately; If you can't call the shots, you have already written a request for merit, and you will be sent to Shangjing in an expedited manner for 800 miles, and I believe that Your Majesty will definitely agree. ”

When all the generals heard this, they all kowtowed and said happily: "Handsome and gracious, I will not forget it." ”

Zhao Wuji shook his head and smiled: "This is all you deserve." As he spoke, he said with a solemn face: "You and the old man go to the city." ”

"Marshal, please." The generals said in unison, then separated the left and right, and asked Yum Gong to take the first step.

Zhao Wuyi laughed, and after putting on the big hat handed by Wu Zhilong, he proudly led the crowd out of the big tent.

Looking at the Tongguan City Tower in the black hole in the heavy snow, Zhao Wuji was full of emotion in his heart, thinking back on his life as a horseman, although he had great achievements, but it was only two or three times that could be called brilliant in the annals of history. Before today, he dared to say that he was the number one general in the world, but if he wanted to compete with a military god like Bai Qi Han Xin, he still lacked three points of confidence.

However, after today, he can finally join this ranks, and face the evaluation of future generations with confidence, because he captured Tongguan and took away the last line of defense of Qin, and from then on, the general trend of the world is irreversible, and the three-thirds of the situation will definitely turn into a dominance of Qi State!

You have to rely on your own strength to decide who belongs to the famous generals in the country to be eligible for this title!

Feeling Baishenggong's excitement, Wu Zhilong said softly: "It's just that from now on, the teacher is destined to be lonely......"

If you are a person, you like to be patted on a horse, and you prefer a tasteful fart, Zhao Wuyi was happy when he heard this, and said with a reserved face: "Zhilong, don't underestimate the heroes of the world, then Qin Yutian is only a weak crown year, and there is still a chance to make a comeback." ”

Seeing the handsome man's comfortable appearance, the surrounding generals said: "No wonder the surnamed Wu can be the second-in-command, he is really good at sycophancy." Not to be outdone, they said: "As soon as this Tongguan City is passed, the Qin State barrier will be lost, what qualifications do you have to argue with us?" "That is, unless he is an immortal, he can take back Tongguan City now......"

It's really hard to say what is going on in this world, although Qin Lei is not an immortal, but in the blink of an eye, it is not difficult to take Tongguan City back.

Before the generals of Qi State spoke, the dark sky suddenly brightened as day, shining the scarred Tongguan City. Immediately afterwards, there was an earth-shattering loud noise, which turned into an invisible shock wave, cutting off the Tongguan city wall by a full three zhang, and also knocking Bai Shenggong and all the generals to the ground.

Zhao Wuyi seemed to be smacked to the ground as if he had been beaten to the chest, and he looked at the collapsed city wall, and completely lost consciousness in an instant......

Prepare for the worst at all times, this is an iron rule that is seared into Qin Lei's bones.

After entering Tongguan City, his most important thing was to build the city wall. Under his strict and perverted supervision, the soldiers and civilians in the city insisted on raising the original city wall by three feet, causing great trouble for the Qi army to attack the city.

But Qin Lei's intentions did not stop there, considering that in case the city was on the verge of collapse, there should be a trump card to change the situation. In the process of construction, he ordered Shi Meng and others to put thousands of pounds of **, and ...... Tens of thousands of pounds of flour were sealed in the city wall - turning the entire newly built city wall into a big explosion!

The reason why it was not detonated earlier was because if it was still early, it was very likely that the Qi army would regroup and make a comeback, and once again capture the city wall, which was three feet shorter. And if you choose to detonate at this time, the dark night will make the Qi army unable to deal with it, and you can only wait until dawn to make plans......

This unprecedented explosion shook the mountains, rivers and mountains, changed the color of heaven and earth, and blew up more than 10,000 officers and soldiers of the Qi State on the city wall of Tongguan!

Before the dust had settled, the long-awaited counterattack troops poured out of the houses and converged on the avenue leading to the eastern wall...... There is no need for unified command, this earth-shattering explosion is the best counteroffensive order!

The high temperature and air waves of the explosion swept away the snow and ice near the city wall, and the Qin soldiers successfully climbed the rubble-strewn and messy east city wall. With the exception of a few who accidentally hit their feet, the walls were recovered without any casualties and without much effort.

Seeing all this from the lookout hole of the bunker, Qin Lei breathed a long sigh of relief, and said with a strange smile: "Actually, I'm still an expert in explosives. He said proudly to Shi Kang and Shi Meng: "This is the first time I have used **, am I shameless?" The ecstasy was palpable.

This is understandable, although in the eyes of ordinary people, the battle situation is still turbulent, but as the supreme commander, Qin Lei can already say that he successfully completed the task, achieved the final victory in the defense of Tongguan, and kept the last line of defense of the Great Qin Dynasty.

However, he soon stopped laughing......

Shi Dare took off the earplugs and was about to speak, but when he saw Shi Meng's body shaking, he fell to the ground softly. Shi Dang hurriedly hugged him, and said with concern on his face: "Brother Meng, what's wrong with you?" Suddenly, his face stiffened, and he slowly raised his left hand that was pressed on his shoulder, which was already covered with dark red blood, and Shi Dang couldn't help but shout: "Are you injured?" Qin Lei's smile suddenly froze, and he walked over, squatting down to inspect Shi Meng's wound.

But it was too dark inside the bunker to see anything clearly. Frowning, Qin Lei said in a deep voice: "Lonely to the lamp, the more the better!" The black-clothed guards hurriedly lit the candles they were carrying, and each of them gathered two around Qin Lei, illuminating a small shelter.

Qin Lei first ordered someone to remove all of Shi Meng's armor, revealing the tattered purple-black cotton jacket inside. Removing the padded jacket again, Qin Lei saw that his blood-stained torso was densely covered with more than a dozen shocking new wounds!

Qin Lei's eyes turned red all of a sudden, his throat seemed to be stuck by something, and his right hand stretched out towards Shi Dang.

Fortunately, Shi Dang had a good heart, and quickly took out a cyan porcelain bottle from his back, pulled out the cork and handed it to the prince with both hands. Qin Lei took it, poured the essence of the wine on Shi Meng's wound, and used nine bottles in succession to wash away the layers of blood stains on his body, and one by one penetrating wounds, lacerations, and blunt injuries appeared, which were as deep as an inch and a foot long.

I saw that his skin and flesh were turned out, and there were white bones exposed in several places, and I really didn't know how to hold it up......

sprinkled the gold sore medicine on Shi Meng's wound, took out the needle and thread from the first aid kit, carefully stitched the muscles and skin of his injury, and finally bandaged it carefully with white gauze.

Nearly half an hour, Qin Lei finally treated Shi Meng's wound and put on a brand-new cotton robe for him, which allowed Shi Dare to carefully carry him to his residence to recuperate.

"You all go out, I'm going to be quiet." After Shi Meng left, Qin Lei said in a deep voice.

The guards saluted silently and quietly disappeared into the darkness.

In the small shelter, Qin Lei was the only one left, and he looked fixedly at the lively city wall in the distance, and the soldiers and civilians who had turned defeat into victory were pouring water on the city wall with great energy. In order to speed up, they even mobilized more than a dozen water dragons, and the scene was very spectacular.

But what Qin Lei saw was the scenes of the troops, the tragic battles, the broken corpses, the desperate faces passing in front of him, and the smoke of gunpowder was filled, everything was so cruel, so terrible, so suffocating......

He looked down at his hands, which were drenched in blood, and he quickly wiped his hands vigorously, but the more he rubbed them, the redder they became, and the more blood flowed, gradually submerging his legs, waist, shoulders, neck, mouth, nose, eyes, and the top of his head...... He struggled to breathe, couldn't break free, and finally leaned against the wall in pain, sliding limply to the ground, his throat 'ho-ho', as if he really couldn't breathe.

These were hallucinations, from negative emotions that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time. These things have been there for a long time, but they are pressed in the bottom of my heart by the weight of a thousand catties, and people can't see the clues. But there are some things that can't be suppressed, and finally on this night that can be relieved, with the help of Shi Meng's injury, it completely broke out.

But although it is a hallucination, for him, it is no different from the real scene, if you are immersed in it and cannot extricate yourself, although it will not really suffocate to death, it is very likely to go crazy and become a walking corpse......

At this moment of danger, he smelled the delicate scent of lilies, and then entered a soft embrace. Qin Lei's body stiffened, as if a tired bird was returning to its nest, he hugged the woman tightly, and his chin groped back and forth on her shoulder, making her feel painful.

But she bit her lower lip tightly, didn't make a sound, and her delicate body remained relaxed, lest she alarm her husband in the nightmare.

After hugging his wife for a long time, Qin Lei's mind finally stabilized, his eyes looked ahead in confusion, and tears slowly slid down his cheeks, falling on Yunsheng's ears.

Yun Shang's heart trembled, as if a dam had been chiseled, and tears poured out, flowing down Qin Lei's neck into his arms. His Royal Highness Prince Cheng, who was in urgent need of comfort, hurriedly handed over her delicate body to her left arm, gently wiped away her tears with her right hand, and said with a wry smile: "I was entangled and uncomfortable in my heart, so I accidentally dropped two golden beans, but what are you crying about?" ”

"I feel sorry for you......" Yunshang sobbed.

Qin Lei's complexion suddenly became extremely soft, and he hugged his wife tightly again, and said softly, "I'm sorry for worrying you." ”

"It's okay," Yunshang said timidly, "They told me that you were in a bad mood, please come over and have a look, this is not a foul." Such a bold girl was so frightened by Qin Lei, it can be seen how perverted he has been these days.

With a smile full of guilt, Qin Lei slowly shook his head and said, "The ban has been lifted, there will be no more bans." ”

"Really?" Yunshang suddenly burst into tears and laughed.

"It turned out that I was too stressed, and I was too simple and rude to you; Now that I'm under no pressure, I certainly can't play tricks on you anymore. Qin Lei said in a deep voice: "In the future, we will never be separated, where I go, you will go; Where you go, I'll go too. ”

Listening to the voice of her husband who is not like love words, but better than any love words, Yunshang's heart seems to be soaked in warm sugar water, it is so soft and sweet. The grievances and helplessness of these days have disappeared without a trace, only a little discomfort remains, she thought about it, or decided to whisper: "Can you hug it lightly?" Those iron-leafed people in you. ”

Qin Lei hurriedly let go of his hand, pulled a military blanket from behind him, gently covered Yunsheng's body, and suddenly smiled: "Remember the time in the Falling Wild Goose Pagoda, we also acted like this." ”

"Yes," looking for the most comfortable position, Yunshang gently leaned on Qin Lei's arms, and said softly: "That's still in the autumn of the seventeenth year of Zhaowu, let's watch the sunset and look at the morning star together, it is a good memory for others." ”

"It's been more than two years in the blink of an eye." Qin Lei sighed: "Time flies so fast. ”

Yunshang said softly: "It's too fast, it's too slow." ”

"What do you mean?" Qin Lei smiled and asked, "Sounds quite philosophical." ”

"That's what people think." Yunshang whispered: "Don't laugh at me, I'll tell you." ”

"If you don't laugh, whoever laughs is a puppy." Qin Lei said with a straight face.

"People feel that the days when they are not by your side are very long, and it really feels like a year." Yunshang said seriously: "But as long as you are by your side, time flies, and it is like a white horse passing by." ”

Qin Lei smiled movingly, imprinted a deep kiss on her smooth forehead, and said softly: "Yunshang, let's go into hiding......"

"Okay, okay, people have been planning this for a long time." Yunshang replied casually first, but even after reacting, she raised her head in surprise, looked at him fixedly, and asked with concern, "Did something happen?" ”

"No, everything is fine." Shaking his head, Qin Lei said softly: "At this moment, we are in the past, I want to take Hangu Pass back, and then I will hand over the military power and take you to a paradise to live a happy life without fighting with the world." ”

After following him for so long, no matter what hardships and hardships he faced, Yunshang had never heard Qin Lei say a word of discouragement, how could he have such a negative idea on the eve of gaining incomparable prestige and support. She opened her mouth slightly, and said for a long time: "My husband is only twenty, so I think about Zhishi, isn't it a little early?" ”

"It's not early, it should be the right time." Qin Lei closed his eyes slightly and said, "Now that the second brother has ascended the throne, his ability is enough to deal with government affairs, and he is quite kind...... bar. Even if he is not kind, there is still a big brother, he is a guy who values love and righteousness...... Come on, I think it's okay for me to give him the military power, and he will contain the second brother and keep our whole family safe...... bar. ”

Listening to her husband's tone of both determination and hesitation, Yunshang couldn't help but smile: "It seems that the husband has not thought it through." ”

"I also made a temporary decision, so let's ask Madame's opinion first." Qin Lei smiled awkwardly, and said with a gloomy expression: "I'm really tired, and I'm really tired." When he said this, he thought of Emperor Zhaowu, who dragged the country into the abyss; Li Sanjun, who is the first in the number of advantages and disadvantages; There is also Emperor Tianyou who does not save him when he sees death, these original masters don't take the Great Qin Dynasty seriously, you say that Lao Tzu is an outsider, what is it in this wind and rain, snow and fire?

It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, whoever you love will go! Qin Lei thought to himself: "I won't give you Qin Lao Er's grind." Maybe that's what he really thinks...... Although he never concealed his desire for the throne, when his second brother sat on that seat, he repeatedly asked himself if he really had the ruthlessness to pull the emperor off the dragon chair.

In fact, he has always been like this, just like when Emperor Zhaowu was in power, he was aggrieved everywhere, deflated everywhere, full of complaints, but he never acted wrongly, he was a dead eye living in his own limited frame.

For the Dead Eye, once he decides on a certain rule, he will not violate it even if he dies.

The so-called human road in the world, monarchs, fathers, sons and brothers, the biggest rule is nothing more than that!

Qin Lei knew very well that a careerist who was not black enough was not a qualified usurper, but he just couldn't convince himself to be black.

But his self-respecting stinky temper has been proven countless times that he is not suitable for being a courtier at all, and of course he is even more unsuitable for being a courtier.

So he thought about quitting, no longer playing this game of power competition, and learning from Tao Yuanming, picking chrysanthemums under the east fence and leisurely seeing Nanshan, which also sounds good.

Touching her husband's bearded, emaciated and haggard face distressedly, Yunshang asked softly: "The concubine is a woman, I don't know so many big truths, I only know that the husband sings the woman's life is the biggest truth in the world, husband, even if you don't ask me whether I agree or not, I will live and die." But now that you ask, the concubine also has to ask, have you really thought it through and will never regret it? ”

Have you thought it through? Never regret it?

The two questions suddenly pulled Qin Lei back from wishful thinking, closed his eyes and muttered, "Have I thought it through?" I could have given up my career, but what about those who put their trust in me with all their hearts and put all their hopes in me? I can not fight with the second child, I can give up the army to the boss, but how can I guarantee that they will let me go? I can just leave, but in case a Tuofei person, the country is different, and Zhao Wuyi destroys my Great Qin, can there still be a paradise of my Qin Yutian in this world? ”

A series of self-questions, he could not answer any of them in the affirmative. Qin Lei finally realized that his strength must be supported by equally powerful power, and if he gave up his power, it would be tantamount to abandoning his martial arts and becoming a fish.

Tao Yuanming can hide, but he Qin Yutian can't hide. Because Tao Qian is just a crazy child, except for the family, there is no other responsibility; And he, Qin Yutian, is not, if he hides, who do the thousands of wounded soldiers on the Invalides Farm count on? Who do the tens of thousands of orphans and widows who have fallen in battle count on? Who did the gentry of the two southern provinces count on to go? And who do the people of the two southern provinces expect?

Not to mention Shi Kang, Shi Meng, Shi Yong, Shen Bing, Tie Ying, Shen Qing, who else can you expect from the brothers who share weal and woe with you?

You don't see the eternal country, there are only countless kings and defeats, but there are no princes who withdraw and enjoy the rest of their lives in style, not because they are reluctant, but because they can't!

"It turns out that I have no way out...... "After a long time, Qin Lei sighed and said, "Then what should I do?" You've always heard that the cunning rabbit dies and the lackeys cook; An allusion to Asuka and a good bow, right? Those who have been high in the arts since ancient times have either replaced them or have been killed! ”

"Kefujun, are you a lackey and a good bow?" Yunshang flashed her beautiful big eyes, and said coquettishly: "You are a big hero, a big hero admired by the whole world, who dares to touch you!" As he spoke, he clenched his pink little fist tightly and gestured as if demonstrating.

"But the emperor is not me, but my second brother." Shaking his head, Qin Lei finally said the entanglement buried in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "I can't learn Tang Taizong, what do you think I should do?" ”

Yunshang was also dumbfounded, and said with a smile: "Husband is the smartest person in the world, there will definitely be a way." ”

"If there was a way, I wouldn't have to cry in a hurry. Qin Lei rolled his eyes, looked at the still busy crowd in the distance, and said with a wry smile: "Resign yourself to fate." ”
