Standing on top of the Eternal Xiongguan, stroking the rough city bricks, looking down at the plains under his feet, Qin Lei was like falling into a dream. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info muttered, "Did you really take it down?" "Even if you've been in town for a day.

"Yes, Lord Wang, no matter what, my Great Qin has finally mastered the initiative on the battlefield!" Huangfu Zhanwen said happily: "From now on, the hinterland of the Qi Kingdom will be exposed under my Great Qin Iron Cavalry, let me take what I want!" "Although he was placed in the reserve team and did not get the credit for breaking through, the significance of winning the Tiger Prison Pass was enough to make every Qin State person excited.

Yes, the military flag of the Qin State has been planted on the Tiger Prison Pass, and this dangerous pass, which the ancestors and the ancestors did not fight, was actually taken down by His Majesty Emperor Sejonglie overnight.

When the Qin army arrived at the Tiger Prison Pass, they launched a low-intensity, high-frequency attack, although the casualties were not heavy, but with this painless strength, even ten years could not break the Tiger Prison.

This situation lasted for more than a month, and at the end of July, seeing that the grain and grass were about to be unsustainable, the Qin generals finally couldn't hold it back anymore and wrote to His Majesty the Emperor one after another...... If we want to fight, let's fight seriously; If we don't fight, let's go back to the court while we are not hungry. What's the matter with grinding foreign workers here?

Emperor Zhaowu unfathomably appeased the generals and told them that the destruction of the city was just around the corner, and they would go back and wait with peace of mind. Although the generals didn't believe it, their arms couldn't twist their thighs, and they could only wait patiently.

As a result, one night the tiger prison was closed, and the sound of killing shook the sky, but all the armies were ordered by the emperor to only sleep and not to stir. At dawn, the Ouchi guards gave an order to all the troops: 'The tiger prison has been broken, and the army has entered the pass!' The generals reacted surprisingly unanimously, and they all twisted their thighs fiercely, and when they screamed in pain, they ran out of the camp and looked at the tiger prison in the morning light...... I really saw that the gate was wide open, the golden armor royal forest was all over the city, and the flagpole was replaced with His Majesty's dragon flag.

The generals hurriedly sent the vanguard battalion into the city to fight the front station, and it didn't take long for the word to come back: "The four gates in the city have been controlled by the Imperial Forest Army, and the remnants of the enemy have been cleared, and even His Majesty's Luan Yu has entered the city." The generals were completely shocked, so they ordered the ranks in a daze, and pulled out the camp and stationed in the Tiger Prison Pass.

After the generals entered the city, they were led by the Ouchi guards to the Hanyue Tower in the east of the city pass. There, they met His Majesty Emperor Sejong Yeol, who was holding back his pride, and Xu Zaiwu, who was in high spirits, and a strange military general standing by the dragon chair with low eyebrows.

'Qi people? Seeing that the general's dress was the costume of the deputy general of the Qi State, the generals understood a little in their hearts: "It turned out to be a Qi traitor......

Emperor Zhaowu's next words also proved their guess: "Come on, come and get to know your new colleagues." As he spoke, he pointed to the military general of the Qi State and said, "Cornerstone, introduce yourself, and then tell the generals the ins and outs of the matter." ”

The military general said respectfully: "Obey." As he spoke, he arched his hand to the generals and said: "The last general will raise the foundation and the grass word cornerstone, and the people of Daqin Zhongdu!" As soon as he opened his mouth, it was a thick Qin dialect, and it was slightly mixed with some unison.

The generals were taken aback at this time, and they were all surprised: "Since I am a soldier of Great Qin, why are I wearing the military uniform of Qi State?" ”

Looking at the dumbfounded appearance of the generals, Emperor Zhaowu felt so cool in his heart, and couldn't help but say proudly: "The cornerstone is a secret spy sent to the Eastern Qi by the first emperor, and more than 20 years have passed in a flash. ”

Yang Youji sighed when he heard this: "As Your Majesty said, the first emperor intended to attack Qi on a large scale back then, and sent a large number of secret agents into Qi, and the humble position was the ...... of the Qi State who arrived at that time" said with a gloomy face: "As a result, the creation of capable people, the first emperor's middle way collapsed, and the offensive of the Qin State was forced to be canceled, and these people lost their goals, and some people secretly returned to the country, but more people lurked like lowly duties, waiting for the next instructions of the royal family." ”

"Who knew that this wait was more than 20 years, and he had been promoted to a general in Qi State, but he never forgot his mission for a day, and looked forward to the call of the motherland day and night." Yang Youji said with a fanatical face: "Finally, in the last year, the Great Qin Royal Secret Spy regained contact with the lowly position, and helped the lowly position bribe the high-level of the Qi State, and transferred me to the west gate of the Qi State as the deputy of the Tiger Prison General. ”

Qin Lei said in his heart: "No wonder the emperor asked Heyang East to come to Luoyang last year, it turned out to be for this matter!" Through the events of this spring, he already knew that Heyang was the true confidant of Emperor Zhaowu, and his trust was far greater than that of their sons.

The rest of the matter is logical, Yang Yuji is the second-in-command in the city, and the first leader takes turns to be on duty at night, after some full preparation, last night there was no danger to open the gate, let the Shenwu army enter the city. Caught off guard, the awakened defenders blew up the battalion, unable to organize an effective defense at all, and after suffering heavy casualties, fled from the east gate to the land of Qi.

As for why he waited for more than a month, he had to wait for Zhao Wuyi's main force to withdraw from the Tiger Prison Pass before he dared to do it.

After listening to the narration, all the generals were very excited, and sincerely bowed to Emperor Zhaowu and said: "Your Majesty's temple is exhaustive, win before fighting, and wait for the five bodies to surrender!" Emperor Zhaowu was naturally so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and even said that he was the shadow of his ancestors.

The eldest prince frowned and asked, "Our Great Qin hasn't withdrawn yet, how can Zhao Wuyi be busy leaving?" ”

Na Yang Yuji said unhurriedly: "This prince, the emperor of Qi issued twelve gold medals in a row, and ordered Yum Gong to return to Beijing quickly, as for what happened, the last general does not know." ”

"The Emperor of Qi is critically ill." Emperor Zhaowu said lightly: "This is the top secret of the Qi Kingdom, and I only learned about it last night. ”

The generals looked stunned, and couldn't help but sigh: "The emperors of Qi and Chu are critically ill almost at the same time, it seems that my Great Qin is in a hurry!" "Yes, Your Majesty is the Lord of the Nation!" For a while, the rhetoric was like a tide, and Emperor Zhaowu was almost drowned.

But the eldest prince still didn't give up: "Even if Zhao Wuyi is gone, but there is still Wu Zhilong, he should be completely prepared!" ”

Emperor Zhaowu said in his heart: 'Aren't you blocking me?' He frowned slightly and said, "Cornerstone, you tell him." ”

Yang Youji hurriedly said respectfully: "Wu Zhilong and Zhao Wushu both went with Zhao Wujidong, only Xin Jiazang and Chen Liefeng stayed in the city, not to mention that the Qi army bombed the camp last night, even if Zhao Wuji is still there, there is no power to return to the sky." ”

At this time, Xu Zaiwu, who had been waiting for everyone to praise him, finally couldn't hold back and said: "Regardless of this and that, everyone can stand in the Tiger Prison Pass, and the city is full of our Great Qin's male soldiers, this is a fact that no one can change, what else is there to doubt?" Saying that, he glanced at Qin Li angrily and said, "If the Long Xiang army enters the city, I don't know if the uncle still has so many questions?" ”

Qin Li was choked by him and rolled his eyes, but it was not good to argue with the hero who broke the city, so he had to say in a muffled voice: "That's not what Lone meant. Xu Zaiwu didn't dare to offend him too much, so he snorted and stopped, but there was a victor's smile on his face.

Seeing that His Royal Highness couldn't get off the stage, Luo Yun hurriedly diverted the topic and said: "In any case, we have occupied this tiger prison, and this is God helping me Daqin!" First complimented the emperor and Xu Zaiwu, and then changed the conversation: "But the grain and grass of our army are already in an emergency, please Your Majesty and the two marshals make early plans for the next step." "Originally, the battle plan designated by the Taiwei Mansion didn't estimate what would happen if the Tiger Prison Pass was taken, so Luo Yun asked.

Emperor Zhaowu's face was slightly pale: "Well, it should be so." "At this point, he has infinite scenery, and it's time to think about advancing and retreating.

Li Xun and Li Hun glanced at each other, and laughed in unison: "Your Majesty is wise and martial, we are happy and convinced, and it is naturally up to you to decide." ”

Looking at the Li family brothers who were completely convinced, Emperor Zhaowu said in his heart: "It seems that in the past, my royal family was too dark, so that these things were coveted, and now that I am a blockbuster, it is natural that the evil group has retreated." Then he said with a pleasant face: "Let's discuss it, let me listen to your opinions." ”

Qin Lei glanced at Yang Yuji, who was standing silently beside the emperor, and said in his heart: "You don't pay attention to secrecy too much, right?" How could this person be allowed to listen? But he knew that Emperor Zhaowu's prejudice against himself was deep, beyond the eighteenth layer of hell, so he wouldn't be boring.

It was related to the next move, and the generals could not hide it, and they all expressed their opinions. After some debate, two opinions were finally converved...... The more conservative one is to send troops to garrison the Tiger Pass, and the army will be divided for the time being, and then make plans after the autumn harvest or next year's military rations are sufficient; The other radical faction advocated taking advantage of the critical illness of the emperor of Qi to march eastward with a large army, conquer the city, and fight until the autumn harvest because of the grain to the enemy.

His Majesty Emperor Sejong Yeol, the decision-maker, hesitated, but he also knew that the gains from this trip were enough to earn him enough prestige, perpetuate the country, and shine in the annals of history. But a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is in front of him, even if he can't hit Shangjing, he can turn the thousand-mile territory of Qi Kingdom upside down and give it a heavy blow that is difficult to heal.

Whether to take it as soon as it is good or to take it when it is good is a typical gambler's question.

His eyes roamed over everyone's faces, and Emperor Zhaowu wanted to get some information to help him make decisions, but Li Hun and Li Xun lowered their heads and muttered in a low voice: "Jane is in the emperor......'s heart" As for the others, none of them dared to say anything, lest His Majesty regret it in the future and use himself as a scapegoat.

Qin Lei sighed in his heart: "Even if you dislike people, I have to talk about it." Then he bowed his hand and said: "Father, the sons and daughters think that Qi is a behemoth, and it is counterproductive to rush for quick success, and Xu Xutu is the king." It's better to retire for the time being and wait for the next year's ......"

Emperor Zhaowu coughed unhappily, interrupted Qin Lei's words, and said in a deep voice: "Qin Lei, I found that you are very angry!" Does this sound like what a young man in his twenties should say? Without waiting for Qin Lei to answer, he turned his face to Yang Youji, and said with a pleasant face: "Cornerstone, how old are you in the Qi Kingdom, what do you think of this matter?" "Changing your face is faster than turning a book.

Yang Yuji said respectfully: "The last general will return, and he still doesn't understand the situation, how dare he get an axe?" But I can provide information for His Majesty's holy judgment. ”

"But it doesn't hurt to speak!" Emperor Zhaowu laughed.

"A hundred miles northeast of Tiger Pass, there is a city called Muye, which is an important place for Baisheng Gong to hoard grain and grass." Yang Yuji said softly: "Since a few years ago, there has been a steady stream of grain and grass from all over the country, and I am afraid that there are millions of stones. ”

Emperor Zhaowu said with a surprised face: "Is this true? ”

"Although the Qi army's westward expedition has cost a lot this time, and Zhao Wuji also has to bring some north, there is too much food in Muye City." Yang Youji knelt down on one knee and said in a deep voice: "The last general dares to use the head of the person on the item to vouch for at least one million stones of grain and rice there!" ”

Emperor Zhaowu pondered for a long time when he heard this, and then said slowly: "There is a way that 'heaven gives Buddha to take, and will be blamed', and now the sky has granted me a granary and sent charcoal in the snow, and its meaning cannot be clearer!" Saying that, making a heroic appearance, Danfeng's eyes widened, and his voice was high and sharp: "It's to let the king of me go on a northern expedition and go straight to the capital of Qi!" ”

The emperor's sharp gaze swept over the generals, and said in a deep voice: "Who brought Muye City for me?!" Become the first general to enter the Qi State in twenty years? ”

"The last will go!" The generals shouted in unison. This honor can make anyone's heart flutter! Although Qin Lei knew that he had nothing to do, he didn't want to look too dazzling, so he bowed his head and petitioned.

But unexpectedly, Emperor Zhaowu called his name: "Yutian, do you dare to make a military order?" ”

"Uh......" Qin Lei was stunned and said, "Erchen still doesn't know what the situation is." ”

"It doesn't matter, I have faith in you." Emperor Zhaowu's attitude is like a moon day in the sixth, and the changes are too impermanent: "There is no need to make any military orders, the soldiers are fast, you hurry up and gather the soldiers and horses, and set off immediately." ”

"Oh...... The retainers obeyed. Qin Lei was puzzled and retreated with Yang Youji, who assisted him.

Looking at his departing back, Emperor Zhaowu said indignantly in his heart: "If you don't want to grasp the big point, how can it be your turn to make meritorious contributions?" Although right and wrong were reversed all day long, His Majesty Emperor Lie knew in his heart that from the military exercises on the Loess Plateau to the battle on the Luoshui Plain, Qin Lei had performed extremely well, and he had made great contributions every time. In addition, His Majesty the Emperor had never cared about the war before, and he didn't know the abilities of other generals, so he really didn't feel at ease with others when he encountered this kind of tough battle that went deep into the enemy's territory.

Great Qin is the Great Qin of His Majesty Emperor Sejong Lie, and it is impossible for him to get along with himself.

"Lord Wang, Xu Wei is here." Shen Bing's voice called Qin Lei back from his contemplation, he nodded, looked back at the Tiger Prison Pass, which was full of people, and said secretly: "There are 100,000 troops in the Guanzhong, and there are still 200,000 under the city outside the Guan, and indeed the immortals can't take back the Tiger Prison Pass." Then he suppressed the anxiety in his heart, walked quickly down the tower, and returned to the camp...... Although Emperor Zhaowu repeatedly urged him to go on the road, he would not set off until he found out the true situation of Makino City.

"Your Royal Highness......" As soon as he saw the prince come in, Xu Wei, who was dressed in coarse cloth, knelt down and said, "The humble position is finally waiting for you." ”

Qin Lei said in his heart: "How can you have a taste with that Yang Yuji?" Then he walked to the top and sat down and said, "You have worked hard, but Lone has no time to talk nonsense now, so I will talk about other things later." Lone comes to ask you, what is the situation in Makino City? "His main task for Xu Wei was to collect military intelligence.

"Makino Castle? It was a granary, and it was originally heavily guarded. Xu Wei said respectfully: "But after a large number of routs entered the city, the entire Muye became chaotic. ”

"How many troops are there in the city?" Qin Lei asked in a deep voice.

"There are 30,000 defenders, plus countless routs who have become frightened birds." Xu Wei said without thinking, changed his words, and lowered his voice again: "But Muye City is less than a hundred miles away from the Black Tiger Cottage, and after many years of management, there are still some relationships. ”

Looking at him fixedly, Qin Lei said faintly: "You seem to want me to attack Muye." ”

"I don't dare." Xu Wei hurriedly knelt down and said, "I just want to make meritorious contributions to the prince...... So please ask the prince to be gracious and return to China. As he spoke, he squeezed out a few tears and said: "In this ghost place of Dongqi, I can't stay for a day." ”

"Hmm......" Qin Lei nodded, agreeing with his statement: "What does it matter?" Can you buy the guards? ”

Xu Wei sneered and said: "The prince is joking, his status in the Qi State is a bandit, how can he get acquainted with the general?" ”
