The world is a chessboard, and the princes and generals are twisted as chess pieces, and the next game changes the general trend and the fate of the world, this is the person who plays chess. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Those who are qualified to sit on the edge of the chessboard are already the people who stand at the pinnacle of the world...... This pinnacle not only refers to the status of dominating the world, but also has unparalleled wisdom and the mind to swallow heaven and earth. Only in this way can we see through the fog of reality and see the trend of the world clearly; In order to not care about the immediate gains and losses, to plan the future layout.

There are very few people in the world who can leave children!

Even Qin Lei, let him command when he was in China, no one could match him, but he was not qualified to play this game of chess. It was the unpredictable fate that pushed him to the cusp of life and death related to Daqin; It was his brave and fearless will that allowed him to bear the fate of the rise and fall of the empire.

At the same time as he was burdened with that heavy obligation, he also quietly had the power to play against the world!

The times make heroes, but if you want to achieve great things, pure heroes are not enough.

The outer saint and the inner king, supplemented by the power technique, this is the countermeasure that Le Buyi prescribed for Qin Lei.

Even if the medicine is bitter, even if it goes against the heart, if you want to play this game well, you must do it......

After appreciating the superb tea ceremony and taking back 50,000 taels of silver, Prince Rong was naturally overjoyed, and he was extremely pleasing to Qin Lei, and said one by one: "If there is anything you command, as long as you can do it, the Lone King is not ambiguous." ”

Seeing him like this, Qin Lei also smiled happily: "There is really something I want to bother Your Highness." As he spoke, he poured another round of tea, stretched out his hand and said, "Of course, there is no danger or difficulty, at most there is only some running and toiling." ”

Prince Rong twisted a cup of tea, put it to his lips and sipped it lightly, his eyes wandered between Qin Lei and the coffee table, and said, "Could it be that you want King Gu to escort your army out of the country?" ”

"Yes," Qin Lei said with a smile: "Although peace has been restored between the two countries, it is inevitable that the noble people will be a little hostile to our army, and there will inevitably be some unnecessary troubles along the way, which will hinder this rare diplomatic relationship." ”

"It's a reasonable request." Prince Rong muttered softly: "It's just in what name can I take this trip so as not to damage the dignity of the imperial court...... And what about the dough of the lonely king? ”

"This is simple," Qin Lei bowed slightly, "With so many Qin ** teams passing through the territory, shouldn't you send an observation group to supervise it?" "Pay attention to practical profits, not face, this is what makes Qin Lei different from the world.

"This ......" I didn't expect Qin Lei to arrange such a bright step for himself, Prince Rong's expression suddenly relaxed, and he nodded slowly: "It's also the meaning of the question." He agreed to Qin Lei's request. For a noble man like His Royal Highness, face is more important than anything else.

"And those princes and nobles who have paid the money," Qin Lei said with a smile: "You can come, as long as you get to the border, you will return all the money," said Prince Chaorong and raised his glass slightly: "The two countries should be friendly, and we people can have a good life." ”

"yes, who wants to fight!" Prince Rong deeply agreed, drank the big red robe in the cup, got up and said with a smile: "I'll go back and give the imperial brother a book!" ”

"The lonely king prepares fragrant tea and waits for good news." Qin Lei smiled faintly.

According to history, in the Qin-Qi War of Zhaowu 19, the Qi State lured the enemy into the depths, closed the door and attacked it, and locked the main force of the Qin army within the borders, intending to complete its work in one battle and destroy the strong Qin in the imperial food.

In the early days of the battle, everything was in the calculations of the commander of the Qi army, Zhao Wuyi, the Qi army was defeated first at Luoshuiyuan, then at Hugao Pass, and then at Makino City, leading the arrogant Qin army to Makino Plain, and with a successful ambush, kicked off the prelude to the strategic counteroffensive.

If the script of Yum Gong continues, the Qin army will be crushed after a great defeat, and will be blocked by the surging river, either jumping into the river to commit suicide, scattering and fleeing, or kneeling and surrendering...... But no matter which outcome it is, the fate of the 400,000 elites of the Qin army disappearing seems to be doomed. It seems that Qin's state is about to come to an abrupt end......

However, the vicissitudes of the sea are now the mainstay, and Qin Yutian was born! With an unusually tough attitude, he blocked the pursuit of the Qi army; With unimaginable personal charm, he condensed a plate of scattered routs, led them to break the cauldron and fight against the water, and launched an earth-shattering, weeping ghost and god super counterattack against the Qi army! An impossible victory was achieved!

The first battle of Makinohara pulled the desperate Great Qin army back from the edge of the cliff, re-giving the Great Qin Empire a chance to play the world, and forcibly twisting the history that was about to take a sharp turn in another direction. And Qin Lei, who single-handedly completed this impossible task, also gained a great reputation, and since then he has surpassed the secular system and become a legendary existence.

In addition to bringing the 200,000 Qin army out of a desperate situation, the more important reason for this legend is that he defeated Zhao Wuyi and broke the myth of the invincibility of Baisheng Gong...... At the beginning of a myth, there must always be a myth as a note of annihilation, which is an eternal truth.

On the first day of the ninth month, Qin Lei led his army to surround the capital of Qi and go to Beijing. The siege of the city for three days forced the Qi State to sign an alliance under the city, an armistice indemnity, and the remnants of the Great Qin army in distress were sent out of the country, known as the "Shangjing Peace Treaty" in history.

On the third day of the ninth month, after the delivery of the silver taels, the Qin army began to withdraw eastward, accompanied by the Qi State Observation Group headed by Prince Rong. Although there are only more than 500 people after excluding the 5,000 guards, there are more than 30 people above the earl, five people above the duke, and two people above the king! The specifications are unheard of!

For the nobles of Qi who lack fun, this trip is an autumn trip, and it is really a good conversation when talking nonsense with people in the future, and the 108,000 taels of silver are still second. They weren't worried that Qin Jun would change his face and tie up the ticket...... Because according to the agreement, they only need to send the Qin army to the Yangjiban military camp, which is the front line of the Qin and Qi battles. There are 50,000 elite Qi troops stationed in danger, are you afraid that the Qin army will set off some storms?

And the reason why Qin Lei wanted these princes to accompany him was to avoid being harassed by the people of Qi along the way, if he was disturbed day and night, restless sleep, I am afraid that after a thousand miles of travel, the troops will become an empty shelf, what combat effectiveness do you talk about?

The second is also to add a period of experience to these Qi nobles...... The enemy is the enemy after all, and Qin Lei does not have the luxury of hoping that through getting along along the way, he can turn these people into a 'pro-Qin faction'. But with this experience, the psychology of these people must quietly change. If one day the Qin army really comes to the army and surrounds the capital again, these people's will will not be so firm, and it may give Qin Lei an opportunity...... At the moment, this seems to be an idle move, but it is precisely because of this that it is impossible to see through.

'For a strong fortress, it is best to attack it from within. This is Qin Lei's creed.

"It's better to plan ahead than to sharpen your guns." This is another of Qin Lei's creeds.

Therefore, Qin Lei also entertained these people with the highest specifications, and along the way, BMW incense cars, fine wine and fragrant wine, all over the mountains, rivers and mountains of Daqi, which made the princes quite happy and forgetful.

Under such a high-grade escort, all the way to Shanghai Yanheqing, peaceful and uneventful. Half a month to travel thousands of miles, came to the foot of Taihang Mountain, Changzhi Prefecture Huguan County. It was the beginning of winter in October, and the north wind swept the ground, the vegetation withered, and the night had begun to freeze......

The army was stationed outside Huguan County for repair, preparing to embark on the last and most dangerous journey before returning to China - Huguan Grand Canyon.

Huguan Gorge is composed of Wuzhi Gorge, Longquan Gorge, Wang Mang Gorge and Zituan Mountain, and the whole process is full of cliffs. In addition to the sheep intestine trail as thin as a throat, it is a bridge plank road hanging on a steep wall, and its danger is no less difficult than Shu Road. There is a poem by Prime Minister Cao Cheng as evidence:

"Going north to Taihang Mountain, it is difficult He Cuiwei.

The sheep intestines are bent, and the wheels are destroyed.

The bridge is deep in water, and the middle road is wandering.

Confused and lost, there is no shelter in the twilight. ”

Brother Meng De, who has always been angry and looks down on the heroes of the world, led the army to the west and attacked the high-ranking cadres entrenched in the Huguan area, and unabashedly said, "My heart is so depressed, and I want to return to the east." The poem "Dongshan" makes me sad. The lament shows the danger of Huguan Canyon and the difficulty of overcoming the moat.

Now Qin Lei is also standing outside the canyon that has made the eternal heroes miserable. Years have passed, thousands of years have passed, Cao Gong and his hegemony have been swept away by wind and rain, but the steep roads, harsh environment, and even the cold climate have not changed.

Standing in the camp, gazing at the reckless mountains in the distance, thinking about the unknown road ahead, Qin Lei sighed lightly and said: "Those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety, and this road ahead is also difficult!" ”

"Why should the prince worry about it." The generals around him were relieved: "There are so many princes of Qi walking with us, are you afraid that there will be any chaos?" ”

Shaking his head slowly, Qin Lei held the sword on his waist and said in a deep voice: "I received a secret report the day before yesterday that Xin Jiazang, the general of Qi State, had been ordered by Zhao Wuyi to rush to Yangjiban half a month ago and take over the command of the Qi State Canyon Front. He sighed and said, "What do you mean by this order?" ”

"If you just want to defend the gate, you just need to order the guards to defend it tightly." Yang Wenyu said softly: "Send a general over, I'm afraid it's a lot of plans." ”

"Figure what?" The eldest prince was also on the side, and he frowned and said: "Old thief Zhao is obviously a thief, and he doesn't want us to return to China so easily!" ”

"Does he not care about the lives of so many princes?" Che Yinguo was incredulous.

"Although Zhao Wuyi acted unscrupulously," Luo Yun shook his head and smiled, "But he still doesn't dare to bury Prince Rong's people." "These princes include all the wealthy lords of the Qi Kingdom, how could Zhao Wuyi be guilty together?

Nodding, Qin Lei said lightly: "The Lone King pushed the silver of the white flowers out, not to invite them to enjoy the mountains and rivers. ”

"But what if the Qi army takes a risk?" Qin Li asked in a deep voice: "The cliff plank road is by no means lacking in the dangerous places that cannot be opened!" They can ambush a strong force between Huguan and Yangjiban, and attack as soon as the observation group leaves, and still leave all our troops behind. ”

Qin Lei nodded and smiled: "Big brother is extremely worried. At the thought of being blocked on the cliff, the generals couldn't help but be frightened, and their faces became solemn one by one.

Qin Lei turned his face to the towering Taihang, looked at the blue mountains, and did not speak again.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little heavy, Qin Li waved his hand and said, "It's all gone, why should you go." Although the generals had no bottom in their hearts, they had no choice but to leave one after another.

When everyone was gone, only the two Qin brothers were left in the field.

Qin Li walked to Qin Lei's side and stood still, accompanied him to look at the distant mountains together, until his neck was sore, and then he laughed in a low voice: "Are you looking through the autumn water?" ”

Qin Lei shook his head and said, "No, Dongshui." ”

Qin Li's eyes lit up and said, "Heh, I'm starting to laugh, that is, there is a countermeasure?" ”

Glancing at him obliquely, Qin Lei said lightly: "Don't look at the 50,000 elites under his command of Xin Jiazang, and he occupies the natural danger of the canyon, but in the eyes of my brother, he is just a local chicken and a dog." ”

Unexpectedly, Qin Lei actually spoke wildly, Qin Li couldn't help but laugh and said, "I want to hear what kind of local chicken and tile dog?" ”

"Do you think I'm missing someone?" Qin Lei smiled slyly: "It's the ones who dangle in front of my eyes all day long." ”

"Looks like there are two missing." Qin Li suddenly said: "One with a cold face all day long, and the other with a long horse face, these two people don't seem to have seen each other since they left Muye City." ”

"Big brother has a good memory." Qin Lei smiled and said, "This pass will fall on these two people!" ”

Qin Li said in surprise: "Those two boys are so godly? ”

"Whether God is God or not depends on the result." Qin Lei's gaze looked at the reckless mountains again, and said softly: "The terrain is too complicated, and if you are not careful, you will be doomed." ”

Qin Li nodded in agreement, and said in a deep voice: "But this also creates the conditions for us to win by surprise. ”

That night, as soon as Qin Lei fell asleep, he listened to Shi Dang and whispered, "Shen Bing is here." ”

"Come in." Qin Lei got up in his clothes and lit the lantern on the table.

Through the dim light, he saw the savage-like Shen Dusi appear in front of his eyes.

"How's it going?" Qin Lei didn't care why Shen Bing did this, and asked bluntly, "Is there any possibility of attack?" ”

"Yes!" Shen Bing was as concise as ever: "But it is also very likely to fail." As he spoke, he detailed the situation of Yokosaka and the battle plan he had drawn up with Ma Kui.

"Divine soldiers have descended from heaven." Qin Lei smiled and said, "If you succeed, your Shen Bing's name will be known to the world." ”

"If it fails," Shen Bing said softly, "I also ask the prince to take care of my mother on my behalf." ”

Nodding solemnly, Qin Lei said in a deep voice: "There is no need to ask for this. ”

In the early morning of the next day, before the mist cleared, the Qin army pulled out of camp and entered the mountain. Qin Lei set up the Shuai camp in the rear army, and the Qi State Observation Group was naturally with him.

200,000 troops and 60,000 people marched in a row, waiting until the sun rose in the middle of the sky, and Qin Lei's rear army entered the mountain.

As soon as he entered the mountain, he saw a mountain peak, shaped like an outstretched five-finger, Qin Lei smiled and asked Prince Rong beside him: "This mountain can be called Five-Finger Peak?" ”

Prince Rong once inspected here, and when he heard this, he stretched out his thumb and said: "Brother guessed well, this mountain is called Wuzhi Peak, and even Wuzhi Gorge is named after this peak." Said like a number of treasures: "The five-fingered peak is majestic, strange, dangerous, secluded, beautiful, not only the cliff that is cut by the knife and the axe, but also the mountains and rocks of various forms." As the saying goes: 'Five precipices open with five fingers, slim and jade stand without dust, the waves suddenly rise clear spring water, whether the clouds and rain come.' ’”

"Good writing." The surrounding princes of Qi applauded and praised: "What a scene! ”

But there are also people who regret and say: "It's just that the time is not right, if you come in spring and summer, the mountains are full of greenery, flowing water, birds and flowers, fresh and pleasant, wouldn't it be happy?" "I made an appointment to meet next year, and as soon as the May Festival passed, I came here to find a secluded escape from the summer...... It's really a tourist.

Walking through the Wuzhi Gorge, the mountain road narrows abruptly, and gradually there is no natural road, but you have to rely on the ancient plank road carved on the steep cliff to move forward slowly.

These plank roads were less than a zhang wide, winding and stretching, and everyone got off the carriage and horses, and walked forward cautiously, making Qin Lei tremble...... If an ambush soldier comes out, the gods can't save it.

The princes of Qi were very interested, and in order to listen to the echoes in the valley, some even screamed a few times from time to time.

Walk along the ancient plank road for several miles, cross a few mountain bridges, and enter Longquan Gorge. There is an ancient pass on Longquan Gorge, called Dahe Pass. Legend has it that during the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao chased and killed Gao Gan, and it was from then on that he broke through and entered Taihang Mountain. Although thousands of years have passed, the outline of the three words 'Daheguan' can still be seen, and the traces of the ancient pass, the ancient bridge and the ancient plank road can also be seen.

When the princes of Qi were reminiscing about the past and feeling a lot of emotion, the sound of horses' hooves sounded outside the pass, and in a blink of an eye, a scout came in, turned over and dismounted and reported: "Lord Qi, the former army has been ambushed by the Qi State, and His Royal Highness is already organizing a counterattack." And please go to the prince! ”

As soon as these words came out, the soldiers of the Qin State drew their swords one after another, angrily surrounding the princes and guards of the Qi State.

Although the princes of Qi hid behind the guards, their faces were still as pale as earth, obviously frightened.

"I want an explanation." Looking at Prince Rong, who was colorless, Qin Lei said lightly.

Prince Rong had been by Qin Lei's side all the time, and the two sides suddenly became tense, and he didn't even have time to escape, he was tightly grabbed by Qin Lei's wrist. couldn't help but cry out in pain: "I don't know either!" This was pure nonsense, he didn't expect Qin Lei to listen to it at all.

Who would have thought that Qin Lei would really let go of him, and said in a deep voice: "You really don't know? ”

"That's a lot of energy." Rubbing his wrists, Prince Rong smiled bitterly: "What kind of characters are we?" Although I don't dare to say anything, I never tell a lie. "He is still very satisfied with Qin Lei's attitude.

"What's going on?" Qin Lei said angrily: "Could it be that Zhao Wuyi is bold enough to let you bury the lonely king?" ”

The princes of Qi immediately believed this, and they couldn't help but greet the 'wanton' and 'ruthless' Baisheng Gong a hundred times in their hearts.

"What do you mean?" Seeing Qin Lei's uncertain expression, Prince Rong whispered tentatively. The princes were also cautiously waiting for Qin Lei's answer, they were very worried that Qin Lei would use them as human shields to open the way.

Looking at everyone with flickering eyes, Qin Lei suddenly laughed and said, "Afraid that King Gu will take you as a hostage?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare......," everyone sneered, their eyes full of begging looks.
