July 208 BC

The sergeants drank and chatted around the campfire, or missed the war-torn homeland, or missed the relatives who had disappeared.

The brand-new red robe, the freshly wiped silver armor, the silver mask reflecting the morning light, the chic and vigorous upright posture...... Wu Yi rode on the brown thousand-mile horse, his eyes dimmed in the intermingling of light and shadow.

I picked up a bottle of wine and walked slowly to him, hiding the reluctance and sadness in my eyes, and forced a smile: "I don't know when I will see you again today...... Please make sure you live well."

Hearing this, the corners of his mouth lifted lightly, took the bottle of wine in my hand, and smiled: "Your expression is still so easy for people to see...... It's the best farewell."

"I ...... I want you to live......" I hid my face and wept: "Wu Yi, I want you to live more than anyone else in this world......"

"I know." He said in a soft voice, raised his head and drank the bottle of wine, and said to himself: "Death and life are wide, and Zicheng said, although I can't hold your hand and grow old with you, but I promise you, I will live well for you."

The sun was very gentle this morning, and Wu Yi and I looked at each other for a long time, and finally used silence as a final goodbye.

Back at the tent, Ari was packing my parcel, and when she saw me returning, she was scrambling to stuff her things back, but she was too nervous and dropped them out.

"What are you doing?" I frowned slightly, looked at the golden hairpin that fell to the ground, my eyes narrowed slightly, and a chill spread across my face.

"Snow Maiden......" Ari fell to the ground, her body curled up in terror, tears slid down her face, she explained in a panic, "I ...... I actually ......"

"You want to leave me, right?" I squatted down across from her, picked up the golden hairpin left by my mother, and said lightly, "If you need money to leave, you might as well tell me directly, and I can give you what I have."

"Snow Maiden ......" she hid her face and sobbed: "I'm scared...... This war-torn and terrifying life when I am with you...... I've really had enough......"

"I should have known your feelings, and I took you back and forth with me. I shook her hand and smiled lightly, "Don't worry, I'll leave you behind when the team reaches a populated village."

"Sorry...... Snow Maiden ...... Sorry......"

"Why apologize?" I hugged her into my arms and said softly, "It's everyone's right to live."

The flames of war have burned, the smoke of wolves is everywhere, the soldiers have left their homes, their families have been displaced, the smoke of gunpowder and horns have covered up the beauty of the country, the pain and crying have become the only scenery, no one is wrong, because in such troubled times, many people have tried their best just to survive, and I am the same.

War is a stage for men, and on this stage, there are people who gallop on the battlefield and make achievements, and there are people who are shrouded in horse leather and defeated like a mountain, and no one will succeed forever, even those who are called heroes.

And the first to fall on this stage was Xiang Liang.

In August of the second year of Qin II, Xiang Liang led the Chu army to defeat the Qin army in Dong'e in order to save the Qi Prime Minister Guotian Rong. The Qi army came to meet and attack Zhang Han, but Tian Rong, the prime minister of Qi, refused to send troops to aid Xiang Liang, who had saved him once in Dong'e, because Chu had taken in his political rival Tian Jiao, and Zhao did not send troops to aid Xiang Liang due to civil strife, resulting in Xiang Liang's troops being lonely. In September of the second year of Qin II, Zhang Han took advantage of Xiang Liang's weakness in being paralyzed by the enemy after his small victory, and with the support of a large number of Qin troops who came to help, he launched a surprise attack, defeated the Chu army Yu Dingtao, and took the head of Xiang Liang, the king of Wuxin.

When the news came, the whole army was shocked, and the death of his uncle made Xiang Yu fall into a rage, and the whole team fell into a state of storm.

"My husband has been in a terrible mood these days, and he can't even listen to me." Yu Ji looked very worried, and specially came to the tent to find me and Changxi, hoping that Changxi could persuade Xiang Yu well.

She was just two months pregnant, and it was the most unstable moment for the fetus. I was afraid that she would be too worried that she would have a fetal gas, so I comforted her: "No matter who encounters this kind of thing, it is difficult to calm down, let alone a man like the young master, who values love and righteousness.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Changxi frowned and said: "This time Wu Xinjun's death is inseparable from the Qi State, if it weren't for Tian Rongen's revenge, the battle situation would not be so tragic.

"Tian Leave."

"Tian Jiao is the younger brother of Tian Jian, the last king of Qi, and he was made the king of Qi by Qi Min after Zhang Han killed Tian Rong's cousin and the former king of Qi, and was later defeated by Tian Rong. Changxi said helplessly: "Although Tian Rong's hatred of Tian Rong is not incomprehensible, but at this juncture, he still cares about personal grievances.

"What about Zhao Guo, why didn't Zhao Guo save it." Yu Ji was a little excited.

"Zhao Guo is in chaos, Li Liang actually launched a rebellion under the temptation of Qin generals, and they are too busy to take care of themselves." Changxi spread out the map, pointed to a small dot, and said: "Not long after the establishment of the Zhao regime, Wuchen ordered his troops to attack Li Liang to attack Taiyuan.

"That'......" Yu Ji lowered her eyes. That's really no way.Uncle's defeat this time was really beyond my expectations.He's always been cautious.How could he make a mistake this time."

"I'm afraid it's because several big battles are in a row, so I don't take it lightly." Changxi put away the map, frowned, and said: "Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, the way of survival, must not be overlooked, and the most taboo is to underestimate the enemy, victory without arrogance, defeat without resentment, this is the king's soldier."

"I don't understand your big truths, anyway, now that my uncle's death is a foregone conclusion, what to do next is the most important thing." Yu Ji put down the tea in her hand and raised her eyebrows and said: "The horn of the great war has been sounded, and this land is finally about to be completely ignited by the flames of war."
