Something has really happened in Kyoto. Guo Luchuan only made this inference based on his intuition as a strategist, so his strategy has been very conservative these days, not seeking to change the situation, but only to minimize losses in Xiang Wu's attack.

Because this war has been too peaceful until now.

This is the battle of Qin and Chu, it is a battle within the Qin State, he knows a little about those literati in the Qin State, if the war is allowed to continue in such a stalemate, those literati will definitely think of withdrawing some of the soldiers.

However, the troops were not withdrawn, and the imperial generals Emperor Xing General and Dragon General were sent, which had already explained its attitude towards the Chu army, and it would not be destroyed.

It's just that in today's stalemate, although the empire has paid enough attention to it, it still has a feeling that it has not done its best, and it was not only the dragon vein warriors who defeated the entire Chu State at the beginning, but the Qin State itself also has extremely strong power.

This is actually an extremely dangerous situation, if the empire really retains its strength, it is definitely not a good thing for the current Chu army.

But Guo Luchuan had a hunch. He couldn't put into words this hunch, and he had a vague feeling that maybe that hidden force would become some kind of variable. What will this war be like in the end? If it only develops according to the current situation, the state of Chu may be defeated.

There is also a turnaround, the biggest variable in the battle between Qin and Chu is the people in the rivers and lakes, but this turnaround Guo Luchuan cannot use it as a basis for victory, or it cannot be used as a life-saving straw. Because in the battle on the outskirts of Lianqing, he also saw the methods of the dragon vein warriors.

He has no confidence in the world's heroes, not even in the boatman.

However, the catastrophe of the martial arts has its own martial arts to save itself, Guo Luchuan does not worry about the martial arts, the dark sea is the catastrophe of the rivers and lakes, and Lian Qing is the battlefield of the world, and he has no heart to calculate the affairs of the rivers and lakes. He had been calculating the orchestration of the Empire. This is a very big picture.

Decades ago, Emperor Qin's martial arts were mediocre, and he was just an ordinary nobleman in the Chu State, and the Chu State was also considered to be a country and the people at that time. But in the end, in the Anhai Shoal, the royal family of Chu led the last five of the eight generals of Eastern Chu, as well as the last combat strength of the Chu army, to make the final counterattack in a decisive state, but did not want to meet the dragon vein warriors.

But the combat power that made the Chu army defeat again and again and finally forced the Chu army to a desperate situation in the dark sea is what Guo Luchuan is really afraid of.

Guo Luchuan didn't know about these things, but when Feng Ti died, he mentioned them to Guo Luchuan, and he only mentioned them to Guo Luchuan.

The biggest problem facing Guo Luchuan now is Xiang Wu.

On this battlefield, strategy doesn't make much sense, and in the face of Xiang Wu's rampage, he must find a way to stop Xiang Wu.

So he began to recall what Feng Tili had said.

"Tiankeng City is actually not an accident. For so many years, I've been searching for the true cause of the fall of the Emperor, and I've been searching for the fate of the forces that the Empire defeated us in the first place. But I never found it. ”

"But I have memories of that unit, they all have the ability not to lose to the eight generals of Dongchu or even to our royal family, such a person, any person who puts them in the rivers and lakes is enough to become a top powerhouse. As far as the military is concerned, it is also a general's talent. This is not terrible, no one in this world can say when a strong person will appear. The terrible thing is that with such a strong man, the Qin army has a whole army, hundreds of people......"

"After the battle of Qin and Chu, after my imperial brother died on the other side of the Dark Sea, that army was gone. Everyone in the world thought that the fall of the Emperor Star was a celestial phenomenon and an accident, but before that, shortly after the fall of the Chu State, I, as a fugitive, personally felt a terrifying and indescribable power. That force was far away from me, but it was inexplicably familiar. I can be sure that it is the power that has fought against me, and the next day, the Qinye Plain turned into scorched earth, and the huge Emperor Star fell. Is all this really a coincidence and celestial phenomenon? ”

Thinking back on these now, Guo Luchuan believes more and more that there is still a hidden power in the empire.

But if the Empire really had such a strong force, the outcome of the battle would be decided. But Guo Luchuan, as the think tank of the eight generals of Eastern Chu, revealed to Guo Luchuan far more than the rest of the generals.

That conversation didn't end there.

"After so many years, the lord hasn't detected the slightest vision of the empire?"

"Naturally, there is, this matter, everyone in the world is curious, and they all want to know the specific process."

"Could it be...... ...... a few years ago"

"That's right, the retreat of Emperor Qin, the rebellion of the dragon general Shen Chaoya."

"Shen Chaoya, although this person is an imperial general, his subordinates really admire him. This person is loyal and courageous, strong in martial arts, and a benevolent general, and the trust of the heroes of the rivers and lakes, to be honest, if it were not for the rebellion, with him, it would be difficult for us to use the power of the rivers and lakes to deal with the empire. ”

"Yes, this person is the most desperate opponent as an opponent, but even I have to admit that I am inferior to him. But have you ever wondered why he rebelled? ”

"My subordinates don't know."

Recalling this, Guo Luchuan still remembers the sigh and confused look of the wind.

"I don't actually know that I haven't been in contact with Shen Chaoya, but after so many years of investigating the empire, I once met a senior in a secret vault...... And this senior told me that what I was looking for was the taboo in this world. And I mentioned Shen Chaoya because this person had been with Shen Chaoya...... Died at the hands of Emperor Qin. ”

"Relaxation...... Chi Yan Nan? ”

"That's right. Did you ever think of anything? ”

"If Chi Yannan said such a thing, then it is very likely that the dragon general Shen Chaoya knew about this so-called taboo, if Chi Yannan really knows what the lord is looking for, then the army you are exploring may be a forbidden force that should not exist. And the dragon general Shen Chaoya was almost protected by Chi Yannan for a year, which shows that Shen Chaoya's rebellion is related to this taboo. ”

Guo Luchuan continued: "Ahem...... If there is really something that can make someone like Shen Chaoya rebel, or he is not a mutiny, he is just a mutineer because he knows. Ahem, that means that this taboo is not tolerated by the world. ”

Feng Tili nodded and said, "Now that I think about it, Brother Wang actually knew it back then, and before Brother Wang fell into the Dark Sea, he once said something like this, 'One day, your Qin Kingdom will lose its most trusted subordinate because of that secret. ’”

Maybe at that time, Brother Wang vaguely sensed something. Although I don't know what it is, everything has been fulfilled, Shen Chaoya is Qin Xianhuang's most trusted subordinate, but for this secret, he killed Shen Chaoya. It also means that he can kill anyone for the sake of that secret. ”

Guo Luchuan naturally understood the meaning of these words: "Maybe the military department of the empire is not necessarily our enemy, maybe as long as we find that taboo, we can split the empire." ”

Feng Tili said, "That's right. ”

It's just that after so many years, what is that taboo, Feng Tili has not been found, Feng Tili has passed away now, Guo Luchuan is frail and sickly, and he also feels that his time is short, and his intuition when he is about to die is extremely terrifying. And intuition, for a wise man like Guo Luchuan, is a kind of prediction after highly deducing the future, and this prediction is even faster than his thinking.

The Empire may indeed hold some shocking secret, but why does it have to be revealed now?

Because the dragon vein warrior appeared, because the state of Chu had not yet perished. It's all very similar to what it was thirty years ago. Therefore, Guo Luchuan believes that the taboos and secrets that the lord has not found may appear in front of the world.

……

……

Xiang Wu stood in front of the camp at this time, looking out into the mountain belt.

He is preparing for the next attack, the Chu army that is cowering in the Lianqing Mountain belt is indeed difficult to entangle, Xiang Wu has attacked several times, although each time it is a small victory, but it is still difficult to really attack Lianqing City. If this stalemate continues, there may be variables.

Just as Guo Luchuan felt that the offensive of the Qin army was too calm, for Xiang Wu, the strategy of the Chu army's military division was too conservative.

One person's defense is as if he's masking a motive.

But he couldn't imagine it.

It was raining on this day, and the hazy rain made Xiang Wu always think of his eldest brother, the role model he thought he should treat as a role model for the rest of his life, Shen Chaoya.

He still remembered that day, and he didn't dare to forget it for so many years. So Xiang Wu's heart was not as firm as he appeared. Last summer, when the scholars of the Shen family left the empire, Xiang Wu felt the twists and turns of the future.

In just one year, he went to the battlefield in the Northern Regions, completely solved the crisis in the Northern Regions, and now came to Lianqing to face the Chu army.

Everything came so fast that the great general felt as if everything was like a wooden boat, being driven by a great wave, and he did not know what that wave was.

But he missed Shen Xiaolie a little.

He is a general, the best general, but he must admit that he is not a good friend, he did not take good care of Shen Xiaolie, did not fulfill his brother's instructions, he almost killed Shen Xiaolie, and it was also because he was always on the battlefield that Shen Xiaohunt's childhood was so tragic.

If he could, Xiang Wu would like to compensate this scholar.

But now it seems that everything is a little late, and the scholar has already become the bookkeeper of the inn. During the Northern War, Xiang Wu was rescued by the inn twice, and he also saw the potential of Chen Hui during the Fachang incident.

Tianji Pavilion is gone, but the terrifying degree of the Future Inn is far above that of Tianji Pavilion. Feng Zhan is the son of Feng Tili, the general of the Chu army, so how will the inn be chosen? If this battle is to be stalemate, will it be......

Will he be on the battlefield, facing his brother's son?

The parting words have not been forgotten to this day, this is the case for Shen Chaoya, and the same is true for Shen Xiaolie. He still remembered Shen Xiaolie's promise that in the future, the help that the Molou Inn could play would definitely be better than any Emperor Star General, but after just one year, the empire seemed to be unable to get the friendship of the inn.

Xiang Wu's expression was still resolute, and some regret was revealed in the depths of his eyes.

He naturally didn't want to see this scene on the battlefield, but the world was unpredictable, and what Xiang Wu didn't expect was that he would personally write a letter to ask the scholar to come here.

……

……

In the last few days of the stalemate in the battle between Qin and Chu, Xiang Wu was still constantly attacking. On this day, the mountain rain was gone, the sky was clear, and although the winter was a little cold, the blood of all the warriors was hot.

Guo Luchuan's formation is still very delicate and difficult to break, and Xiang Wu's strong attack is still leaving the Chu army helpless.

In this battle, Xiang Wu showed more powerful courage than before, in order to achieve a quick victory.

And the Chu army also showed stronger resistance than before.

The two armies competed, but the victory or defeat depended on the duel with the dragon general.

Feng Jiang relied on his good realm speed to fight with Xiang Wu inseparably, and the heavenly waterfall and flowing clouds behind him were the swords given to Feng Jiang by Ye Chou City, not so much a sword as a knife.

Extreme Intention Realm, Imperial Bloodline, and Peerless Divine Soldiers, Feng Jiang is still lagging behind in such a situation, if it weren't for Jiang Yu, the strongest of the eight generals of Eastern Chu, who is constantly covering with his powerful palm power.

Among the ten thousand people, Xiang Wu is almost invincible.

Wang Hongxi and Zuo Yue were all restrained by the Emperor Star General.

Everyone thought that this battle would probably be the same as the previous battle, the Qin army relied on Xiang Wu's strong, arrogant and unreasonable martial arts to achieve a small victory, but it was only a small victory.

When Guo Luchuan was preparing to withdraw his troops, and Xiang Wu was also preparing to stop continuing to penetrate into the enemy's belly.

Di Yueluo was originally fighting against Wang Hongxi, the vanguard general of the Chu army, and Zuo Yue's entanglement knife never left Di Yundu and Di Xiaoyu.

The war was coming to an end, as always, but at this moment before the end, it was as if the tide had suddenly surged, and all the wooden boats had no direction at this moment.

An extremely powerful momentum suddenly came as unstoppable as a volcano erupting rice.

Xiang Wu turned his head in surprise, and finally revealed his flaws, but Jiang Yu and Feng Jiang didn't make another move, but stared at the north in the same way.

There didn't seem to be anything unusual in the north, and after the arrival of that powerful aura, everything in sight seemed quiet, or ...... It's stiff.

Then, suddenly, the ground began to be full of cracks, and the trees that were growing slanted were broken for no reason. The mountains in the distance to the north also seemed to tremble slightly.

The birds in the sky suddenly let out a terrible wail and fell rapidly from the sky.

No one has ever seen such a vision, it is obviously the destruction of the heavens and the earth, but everything seems a little quiet, quietly sinking, only Xiang Wu and Feng Jiang can see a vague breath, shrouded in the entire heaven and earth in the north.

Everything in that breath was crumbling and sinking.

And Wang Hongxi and Zuo Yue, who were fighting with Emperor Yue Luo Di Yun Du Emperor Xiao Yu, were also shocked to find out......

The three of them did not move, as if they had lost their souls, and their eyes were blank.

They looked fixedly into the distance, their eyes were empty, and their bodies began to relax, and their whole bodies were full of flaws.

Xiang Wu looked at this scene and had an extremely bad premonition in his heart, but he couldn't explain it, he just felt ......

The breath of the northern strand is so strong that it is suffocating, it is so familiar.

(It's really tiring, it's seven o'clock, I'm still in a hurry, the plan is 8,000 words, but I really am, when I write more than 1,000 words, I'm sleepy, I'm too tired, I owe it.) I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll make up for sleep first, wake up in the middle of the night and continue to catch up. Only push the plot a little faster. It is planned to be completed this month. And then about the title of this chapter, because I'm really too lazy to think about the title, and after this chapter is excessive, the later chapters are all kinds of decisive battles, so I use the chapter before the finale. ）
