Before the arrival of Emperor Qin Xianhuang, the chances of victory in the state of Chu were very low, because Xiang Wu's strength was so strong that people couldn't find a way. Now, Guo Luchuan thinks that there is a glimmer of vitality.

"Emperor Qin Xian is the father-killing enemy of the Shen family's scholars, and it is not a big secret that Xiang Wu was taken care of by Shen Chaoya. And he has taken care of the Shen family scholars for so many years, and the love between the two is not shallow. ”

What Guo Luchuan said made Meng Chai wonder, now that the Chu army is fighting to withdraw its troops overnight, where will they have time to wait for the arrival of the Shen family's scholars?

"Now that the Qin army has entered Lianqing, I'm afraid it only takes one day to move quickly, if Xiang Wu can still be blocked by Wang and Jiang Yu joining forces, this Emperor Star Array is absolutely impossible to stop, and if the iron hooves step on, everything will collapse. If we want to preserve our strength, we can only withdraw our troops. ”

Feng Jiang shook his head, Guo Luchuan glanced at Feng Jiang, then looked at Meng Chai, and said: "Ahem, the withdrawal of the army will naturally be withdrawn, but if our army withdraws at this season, where are the people of Lianqing?" ”

Meng Chai lowered his head, if he took care of the people, the Chu army might have to be buried here.

"And where can you retreat? Our stronghold is east of the Dark Sea, if we let the Qin army chase after us like this, after a full thirty years, will the Dark Sea be destroyed again? ”

Guo Luchuan had a little ruthlessness in his eyes, his time was running out, he had to find someone for this Chu army who could replace him to guide the direction of the Chu army.

He didn't know Shen Xiaolie, but as a military advisor of the Chu army, he knew a little about Shen Xiaolie's deeds on the battlefield in the Northern Regions in those years.

The most important thing is that Shen Xiaolie is very young. There is an infinite future.

"The Qin army won't give us time, that's Qin Xianhuang. But Xiang Wu will give us time. As long as we live and die with the people of Lianqing. ”

The crowd was puzzled.

Guo Luchuan coughed violently, and Qin Luo gently patted him on the back.

"Qin Luo, you believe in the crow...... Ahem...... Pass it to Feng Zhan and tell him about the situation here, ahem...... Tell him the truth about the Shen family's defeat and annihilation, I already know...... Tell him too...... Xiang Wuwei is in danger......"

Feng Jiang probably understood Guo Luchuan's arrangement, and said suspiciously: "The dragon general Xiang Wu is the enemy of my Great Chu, it is great if he can be used by us, but I think that he will definitely not betray the Qin State, if Mr. thinks that he can use the scholars of the Shen family to contain Xiang Wu and persuade Xiang Wu, it is really unlikely." In the battle of the law field not long ago, if Xiang Wu could be moved, I am afraid that he would not push the inn to a desperate situation. ”

Everyone nodded.

Guo Luchuan said: "Where can I use the scholar of the Shen family, no one in this world can use him." I am asking for his help, Xiang Wu's allegiance is to the Qin State, not the Qin Emperor or even any emperor, and the only one who can make Xiang Wu realize this is the scholar of the Shen family. This is the only person who can take advantage of this to give us a chance to win. ”

……

……

Guo Luchuan expected some kind of estrangement between Xiang Wu and Qin Xianhuang. In fact, it is true that Emperor Qin Xianhuang asked to send troops directly through Lianqing and set foot on Lianqing City, but Xiang Wu kept stopping him.

Throughout history, countless holders of royal power and military power have faced such a choice.

As a general, should we be loyal to our own justice, or to our masters?

There is actually no definite answer to this question, because only if one's own justice is recognized by one's own superiors, will one really choose to take sides. And there is rarely an absolute deviation between justice and royal power.

Xiang Wu has always believed that the empire is a country worthy of his life, and he admires Emperor Qin. Although that man had brought war, and although that man had ordered to kill his boss Shen Chaoya, this huge Qin State was brought by this person after all.

Deep down, he had always believed that he was the same as Emperor Qin in some ideas.

But at this moment, Xiang Wu was suspicious and shaken.

He had already prevented Emperor Qin from sending troops three times, in order to save the lives of the people of Qin. These hundreds of thousands of people were innocent in Xiang Wu's eyes, and his life was pursued for two things, to keep the territory of the Qin State and the people of the Qin State.

Of course, it is extremely important to defeat the enemy, but he cannot do it in order to defeat the enemy without ignoring the survival of the people.

As an iron-blooded general, Xiang Wu has also killed innocent people, and once he has determined in all his plans that the sacrifice of some people is unavoidable, he will not hesitate to kill.

The old man of Huangquan had hoped that Xiang Wu could find his inner peace. And Xiang Wu has already found inner peace.

The literati of this dynasty once had a controversial question: when the carriage came, as a coachman, under the premise that he could not stop, there were innocent people on every road, but the number was different, what to choose. This question became a well-known problem after several dynasties.

And Xiang Wu is not a philosopher, he is a soldier, and his way of answering this question is very direct.

Without hesitation, he drove the carriage and ran over the road with few people, this is Xiang Wu. He is a ruthless man, an iron-willed man.

But at the same time, he is also a man who insists on the righteousness of his heart.

He is a general, he is not confined to personal life and death, but cares about the pros and cons and the current situation.

Xiang Wu didn't understand why Qin Xianhuang had to set foot in Lianqing, why the people of Lianqing had to die, in the face of military power, the people were rarely able to decide their own positions, so this was the reason why they needed to guard.

Fourth.

Xiang Wu felt Qin Xianhuang's angry gaze.

The ground of the camp suddenly fell into a big pit, in the pit was Xiang Wu and Qin Xianhuang, Qin Xianhuang's hand pressed Xiang Wu, and said: "You are too arrogant, Xiang Wu, you are just a general under the widow, you only need to obey the widow's orders!" ”

Xiang Wu didn't speak, he just felt the powerful strength of Qin Xianhuang, and silently estimated the strength gap between himself and this founding martial artist.

"The widow gives you another chance, I haven't sent troops for so many days, I hope you can lead the army, I hope you are still the dragon general of the widow, since you once followed the widow to kill your best friend, now, just a few people, how can you not do it?"

Xiang Wu felt a pain in his heart. What Qin Xianhuang said was something he couldn't let go of in his heart.

Obey the righteousness of your own heart and submit to the kingship you serve. The two rarely diverged, but the battle outside Liankong City seventeen years ago was the first time he felt a complete divergence between the two.

For so many years, he had been questioning his choice. But he didn't know what the truth was.

So he chose to believe in the royal power, not his brother-like Shen Chaoya.

"Back then, Brother Shen, what did you do to commit treason?" Xiang Wu, who was held down by Emperor Qin, suddenly calmed down and asked such a sentence.

Qin Xianhuang raised his eyebrows: "There is no need to mention the previous things, you just need to know that he betrayed this empire." ”

Xiang Wu's gaze deepened: "Did he betray this empire, or did he betray you?" ”

Qin Xianhuang stared at Xiang Wu, and after a long time, he was sure that Xiang Wu didn't know about that after all. He let go of his hand.

"To betray me is to betray this country, my measures are only to maintain this country for a longer time, but you can't see such a far-reaching future, and you can't wait for such a far-reaching future."

Qin Xianhuang did not kill Xiang Wu in the end, although Xiang Wu, as a dragon general, disobeyed Qin Xianhuang four times.

But the power of the dragon general, even in the eyes of Emperor Qin, is extremely valuable combat power.

Xiang Wu got up slowly, and for the first time, he turned his back to Emperor Qin and said: "If it is to chase and kill the Chu army, the minister is willing to make a military order, and he will be able to break the Chu army, but if the minister wants to kill the people of Lianqing along the way, the minister can't do it, and the royal power and justice can't be unified. ”

Disarmament and repatriation.

Xiang Wu is definitely not an old general, and he has not reached the age of returning to old age at all, but at this moment he is resigning, and only he knows the helplessness in the meantime.

Qin Xianhuang was very disdainful of this stubborn will, but he still said that he couldn't give up such force as Xiang Wu.

After pondering for a long time, Emperor Qin said: "The widow does not allow you to return to old age, and you will be given two more days to choose allegiance or death." ”

Two days. Whether Xiang Wu can change within two days determines how much Qin Xianhuang understands in his heart.

He's just sorry for his talent.

For a warrior who is about to become an immortal, whether it is the Chu army or the common people, it is just the source of life for him. Xiang Wu's purpose was to defeat the Chu army and defend the territory of Qin, and in the eyes of Emperor Qin, there was no difference between those ants who did not have talent.

But Xiang Wu is different, this is a strong man who can surpass the previous generation of dragon generals. Worldly power is not so important to Qin Xianhuang, but he still hopes that someone can keep such a country for him. And Xiang Wu is undoubtedly the strongest.

So he repeatedly tolerated Xiang Wu.

But at the same time, it gave Chu Jun time to breathe.

The Chu army did not leave Lianqing, but only went to the southern suburbs of Lianqing, and now the Chu army and the Qin army are no longer separated by the battlefield, but Lianqing City. Guo Luchuan expected that Xiang Wu would not agree to slaughter the people, and the best defense should have been to retreat to Lianqing City, but in the end, Guo Luchuan persuaded Feng Jiang and the rest of the eight generals of Eastern Chu to retreat outside Lianqing City. Neither left Lianqingcheng too far, nor did he rely on Lianqingcheng.

Guo Luchuan did all this to let Xiang Wu know. The Chu army will not use Lianqing's people as their shield, and they will not abandon Lianqing's people.

Xiang Wu also saw all this.

His heart had already begun to struggle, and for the first time in his life, the dragon general did not know whether the person he was going to be loyal to was worthy of his allegiance.

In this world, there are many different reasons for loyalty, the weak will be loyal to the king, this is a rule and hereditary. Emperor Qin Xianhuang created this country, so no matter how incompetent his heirs are in the future, they are worthy of allegiance, how can there be the strongest in the world? If the strong cannot be loyal to the weak, then the world is already in conflict.

So Xiang Wu has always understood what he should do. He was also receptive. What's more, the first emperor and the little emperor have their own strengths, and they are both worthy of allegiance.

He thought so for a long time, but in the end, at this moment, Xiang Wu began to question it.

He couldn't make up his mind after all.

……

……

Flying birds are Qin Luo's means of transmitting messages, and Feng Zhan has been in the Chu army's camp for a while, and has a good relationship with the little girl Qin Luo, and Qin Luo also found a letter crow specifically for Feng Zhan.

Therefore, it is very quick to send a message to Feng Zhan to explain the current situation.

After Feng Zhan saw the letter, he didn't hesitate much, and told the scholar everything.

The scholar and the public who were originally waiting for the shopkeeper to arrive, after reading the contents of the letter, also left the dark sea without much hesitation.

The scholar explained a lot of things and foresaw a certain situation.

The Dragon Vein Warrior may have very powerful subordinates, and after building momentum for so long, the three-month appointment is enough time for the world's heroes to gather here, so the scholar believes that perhaps the Dragon Vein Warrior had hoped that this duel would attract onlookers from all over the world. There may be some secret hidden in it.

All this, he can only tell the cook and Ah Xiu, and let the two be careful not to act rashly.

Then the scholar and the bronze bird beast that the public lost Liuli rode began to move towards Lianqing.

The scholar really wants to see the shopkeeper save the world, or save the shopkeeper himself.

Of course, he knew why the shopkeeper had left the inn for so long, and of course he knew why he wanted to face such an existence as the Dragon Vein Martial Artist.

Because of that man, he killed the person closest and respected by the treasurer.

This is the fate of the shopkeeper.

But he also has his own destiny.

There was also a person back then, who killed the person he was closest to and respected, and even ...... Extremely horrible things were done to the whole family, just to cover up a secret. For so many years, he couldn't find that person and he couldn't find that secret.

But he never gave up. It's like the shopkeeper can't find the whereabouts of the master, but he never stops searching.

It's the same with scholars.

The last building inn takes the world as the road, and he also wants to go to the world to ask about the world, and then find out the secret of the year.

And now, that enemy has finally appeared. There is no reason for scholars not to go.

Guo Luchuan of the Chu army wrote it himself, although he had not seen this Chu army military advisor, but the scholar could feel the wisdom of the other party, this person did not mean to hide it, and bluntly said the interests of the inn and the Chu army. also frankly admitted that he hoped that the scholar could persuade Xiang Wu, it had nothing to do with righteousness, but everyone had the same purpose.

Any attempt to cover it up will only be seen through by scholars, so Guo Luchuan has nothing to cover up.

The scholar also gladly accepted the invitation.

There is indeed a lot to say between him and the dragon general, and there is indeed a lot to say between him and that Qin Xianhuang. No matter how he faced Emperor Qin Xian, he wanted to know what kind of death situation he would never be able to survive in the face of two hundred emperor stars.

It was also at this moment that he completely understood the mood of the shopkeeper. I know why a person who always says that he can wait for a good thing to live would do something that seems to be equivalent to death. If he knew that Ding Qiliang, whom he had advised, was also facing an invincible enemy at the moment, he would not be surprised.

They are people in the rivers and lakes, people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes, there are some things that must be done, and they must die.
