When the guards heard the footsteps, they followed the sound vigilantly, and saw King Wucheng coming with a solemn face. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info just wanted to salute, but was stopped by Qin Lei waving his hand, signaling them not to make a sound.

Qin Lei walked lightly outside the tent, and he could smell the strong smell of herbs through the door curtain. He reached out to lift the curtain, and it was obviously a piece of cotton cloth that was fluttering, but at this moment he felt a thousand pounds of weight, which was the weight of nearly a Jiazi's history.

Slowly lifting the curtain of the door, he finally saw that under the dim oil lamp, there was an old man lying stiffly, and he was gasping for breath without breathing.

Hearing movement at the door, the old man's eyes turned with difficulty, but he was so bright that he couldn't see anything clearly. After a long time, he found that a man in plainclothes with a handsome appearance and a calm bearing was already standing in front of the bed.

The old man looked up and looked at the young man who was slightly bowing his head and looking down at him. With just one glance, the identity of the other party is already self-evident.

"Are you Qin Lei?" The old man's voice was low and hoarse, as if it were torn cloth.

"Yes." Qin Lei nodded, pulled a stool and sat in front of his bed, and said in a calm voice: "This should be the second time we have met." ”

"Huh...... The old man later recalled that more than ten years ago in the Prime Minister's Mansion, he seemed to have a relationship with the prince. The old man closed his eyes slightly and recalled, "But I'm sorry, it's like the first time I saw it." "This sentence is in response to Qin Lei's secret questioning of 'you are knowingly asking'.

Hearing his quick thinking, sharp words, and not like a dying man, Qin Lei sneered: "There is a way that people are about to die, and their words are good, I think the old marshal, your life is still long." "This stiff old man is none other than the commander of the Qi-Chu coalition army, Baisheng Gong Zhao Wuyi - but it is worth mentioning that it was not the Qin army who captured him, but his guards who turned themselves in with the comatose Baisheng referendum.

At first, Qin Jun thought that it was these house slave sellers seeking glory, but the captain of the guard said that this was the eldest lord's own wish, and he hoped to see King Wucheng with his own eyes before he died.

So Qin Lei came.

Zhao Wuyi smiled dumbly and said, "Can the prince be angry with someone who returns to the light with me?" ”

Hearing him say this, Qin Lei fell silent for a long time before he sighed and said, "You have already seen it?" He had two meanings in his words, one was to ask Zhao Wuyi if he looked down on life and death? The second is to ask him whether he has completely let go of hostility?

In other words, Brother Yutian has always been a good boy who goes straight to the point, how can he speak like today with three levels and a sharp machine? It seems that in the contest between the nouveau riche and the old nobles, there is always a little lack of confidence, even if the victory and defeat have been divided and the opponent is about to die.

"The heart is like a gray wood, and the body is like a boat that is not tied." Zhao Wuji said softly: "You have destroyed everything in the old man, I just don't want to let go, and there is nothing to be nostalgic about...... It's just that there is something unclear, so I have been holding on without closing my eyes. Saying that, he smiled at Qin Lei and said, "I'm glad you can come, there is no one in this world who is more suitable to answer this question than you." ”

"Just ask." Qin Lei nodded and said, "You are my most respected opponent, and I will know everything." ”

"Thank you, it's an honor." After all, the generals were simple, and Zhao Wuyi said his questions word by word: "May I ask why I was defeated?" After speaking, he laughed and said: "Defeated again and again, defeated so much that even the Great Qi Kingdom is going to die, but I don't know where I lost, do you say that I have lived to a dog in this life?" ”

Qin Lei said a little shyly: "At first, it was a fluke, in the middle was the general trend, and in the end, I was well prepared." ”

"Fluke, momentum and preparation?" Listening to Qin Lei's straightforward answer, Zhao Wuyi chewed solemnly: "We have fought three times, and the 'initial fluke' should refer to the strong wind on the Muye Plain." ”

Qin Lei bowed his head and said, "Yes, at that time, I really smelled the breath of death. Saying that, he stroked the corner and said, "I'm not afraid of your jokes, I'm crying." ”

"But after all, I cried." Looking back on the situation at that time, the painful pain no longer exists, and Zhao Wuji only felt a burst of sighs: "This is considered to be a creation to make people, I admit it." As he spoke, he muttered, "What does the 'general trend in the middle' mean?" ”

"Think back to what it was like in your country." Qin Lei said lightly: "Although it seems to be strong, in fact, it is already full of contradictions, the people are not able to make a living, it is difficult to return, and it is weak. As he spoke, he laughed and said: "In this case, the most important thing to do is to get rid of the old evils, recuperate, and restore the vitality of the country before making other plans." However, Baisheng Gong, with a false fire, you delusionally want to directly beat my Great Qin down with your own strength, and then the problem of Qi Guo will be self-healing, isn't this putting the cart before the horse, holding on to the salary to put out the fire? ”

"Hehe, King Wucheng doesn't dare to agree with this." Zhao Wuji slowly shook his head and said: "If you want to talk about the bad situation in the country, let's be the eldest brother and the second brother, the emperor of your Qin State was captured at that time, and the military power was lost...... As far as I know, at that time, you were fighting in the front, and Li Hun in the back not only did not support, but even drew salary at the bottom of the kettle. ”

said with a sigh full of regret: "According to the situation at that time, my Qi Guoda had a chance to go down three levels in a row, if it weren't for Xin Jiazang's stupidity, 100,000 soldiers and horses guarded the sheep intestines and were all made dumplings; If it weren't for your miraculous rapid march, galloping down from Huguan for 800 miles, who would have stopped me from taking Tongguan? If Tongguan is won, maybe you and I will lose our positions today. ”

"What you say is the truth, but you ignore the power of the human heart." Shaking his head and smiling: "If it weren't for the fearless spirit of sacrifice that erupted from my Great Qin officers and soldiers at the critical juncture of the country's ruin, we would have been blocked in the Yangjiban, and we would have collapsed on the eight-hundred-mile rapid march, and we would not be able to withstand your day and night attack!" When he said this, what came to his mind was the scene at that time, he saw Shen Bing and Ma Kui risking their lives to rush through the pass; saw the earth-shattering, weeping ghosts and gods of the tragic march; I saw the Great Wall made of flesh and blood on the city of Tongguan.

With such a force and such a sacrifice, what difficulties cannot be overcome? What enemy can't be defeated?

"People's hearts?" Zhao Wuyi was puzzled: "Isn't it a bitch who lets the prince and the prince play with him?" ”

"Of course not!" Qin Lei raised his voice and said, "Ordinary soldiers and civilians can be fooled in many things...... Or it means that if you know that you are fooled, you can only bear it silently. But they have a bottom line, they want to live, and they want their parents, wives and children to live! If even this most basic right to life is deprived, they will not die in silence! He waved his hand and said, "I can take them to fight for the right to live, so they live and die together; You and Li Hun want to deprive them of their right to live, so they will fight with you! The hearts of the people are determined by success or failure, my Yum Gong! ”

"Well, I'll admit you have a point." After thinking for a long time, Zhao Wuyi finally nodded and said, "But according to your logic, this time it is our right to survive that is threatened, so shouldn't Qi win this time?" ”

"Because I'm well prepared." Qin Lei was a little embarrassed and said, "It took me eight years to fight this battle. ”

"It took me eighteen years to prepare for the last war." Zhao Wuyi said-for-tat: "It's not the same as losing?" ”

"Well...... this" Qin Lei squeezed his eyes and said with a dry laugh: "Haha, if the reform of the Prime Minister Shangguan is successful, it may be a different situation." ”

Seeing his embarrassed appearance, Zhao Wuyi suddenly burst into a burst of happy laughter, and then coughed violently, suffocating an old face, and it took him a long time to recover, gasping and laughing: "Why don't you admit that you made the 'thunder', and I have never seen this thing?" ”

"You know why you ask?" Qin Lei laughed and said: "Relying on advanced weapons to win, there is always a feeling of not being able to win, not happy!" ”

"The prince is hypocritical, if he wins, he wins, how can he say that he is not victorious?" Zhao Wuji shook his head and said, "If we were to turn it upside down, the old man would never say such a thing." ”

Qin Lei couldn't explain what the 'golden finger' was all about, so he had to make a haha and bypassed: "Just when I hit the big luck." ”

"I don't agree with that again." Zhao Wuji shook his head again and said: "Your army has high morale, is well-equipped, well-trained, and experienced, whether it is a single soldier or a group, it has far surpassed the seriously corroded army of my Qi country, even if there is no 'thunder', the winner of this war is none other than you, it is nothing more than heavier losses and longer periods." Saying that, he sighed, and said quietly: "And I'm also old, I can't even command the battle, what can Qi Guo do to fight you?" ”

"Flowers are not red for a hundred days, and people are not good for a thousand days, this is the law of origin." Qin Lei said softly: "I won't be able to escape in the future." ”

"Yes," Zhao Wuyi sighed again, closed his eyes tiredly, and sang softly: "Wild grass and flowers by the Vermilion Bird Bridge, the sunset at the mouth of Wuyi Alley." How many princes and princes have made earth, and of course we will not be an exception. ”

Listening to him use the word 'we' with a strong flavor of the same kind, Qin Lei not only had no plan, but his heartstrings trembled, and he said quietly: "Actually...... You're happier than me, at least you're not lonely...... Who in this world is worthy of my sword from now on? ”

"If Zhu Hongjun hears what you say," Zhao Wuji smiled dumbly: "He will scold his mother." ”

"Zhu Lie is the enemy of Marshal Bo Xiang." Qin Lei said softly: "I believe that the Zhennan Army will definitely win." ”
