Zhao Shinan's arrogance made Wang Yanshu staggered. It's really rare for such a temper to become a victorious general.

Maybe it's because he's too young and hasn't tasted much defeat that makes him more and more unsightly.

Wang Yanshu couldn't help but think of Yun Zhao.

In the previous situation, he didn't dare to relax a little, and only wandered away for a moment before coming back to his senses.

"The general united with the Qin State to attack the old mountain pass and did not capture it, the terrain of the gully pass is high and dangerous, and the city defense is strong, how can the general say that it can be broken at any time?" His calm eyebrows and eyes rose with a layer of ridicule, and the scholar's face had a sharpness that belonged to the battlefield, "Our army only made a slight move, and the general hurriedly returned to the defense, ignoring the allies, which shows the fear in his heart." ”

Zhao Shinan drank coldly: "Nonsense! ”

Wang Yanshu said: "Now the general has a heavy army, if the general brakes with static at this time, he can ensure that the troops in his hands are not lost, and his position will not move." His Majesty Qi asked, and he could also prevaricate on the grounds that the Chu army was harassing the border. In troubled times, the general is the most secure only by holding his strength in his hands. ”

Zhao Shinan's eyes rolled, thinking about his words in his heart.

"General Lu Han won't see me die, and the commander of the Yuyang Army is even more unlikely to abandon me, and he will lose both, why don't the general make a profit from this in order to grow?"

Zhao Shinan shouted: "Rebellion! ”

A soldier rushed in behind him, and Wang Yan looked at Zhao Shinan without looking back.

"General, in troubled times, the military power in your own hands is the most reliable. Now that there is a conflict with my Dachu, every soldier lost is the flesh and blood of the general. ”

Zhao Shinan glanced at the deputy generals and staff officers on both sides, and raised his eyebrows: "Disobedient words, escort him down!" ”

The soldiers came and escorted him, pulled his arms behind his back, and forced him to bend over. Wang Yanshu lowered his head and laughed softly.

Zhao Shinan stopped them and escorted him out, and asked with a serious face, "What are you laughing at?" ”

"I guess the food in the general's prison should be good."

Without the alliance of the Wu State, the Western Qin army no longer bites like a mad dog. Faced with the old mountain pass, which could not be attacked for a long time, they began to show their timidity. Yun Zhao led the troops to fight for another half a month, and it was far less painful than it was at the beginning.

On a gloomy day, light snow fell, flying like tidbits.

"Report!" The sentries rushed into the camp, and Yun Zhao was supervising the training. She looked over, and the little red flag was hunting in the wind and snow.

"Report to the boss! The Western Qin army retreated. ”

Everyone was attracted by the sound and stopped what they were doing.

Yun Zhao smiled and said loudly to the soldiers: "The soldiers of the Yuyang Army! The five cities in the south of Shuozhou have nothing to do with each other, and they are always reduced to other people's meat. Today, we are going to take a city for them, so that the people of Shuozhou can sleep peacefully every night! ”

Many of the soldiers here are from Shuozhou, and their parents, relatives, wives and children are all from Shuozhou.

To protect the country is to protect the family.

More than 80,000 soldiers of the Chu army drove out of the old mountain pass. To the south of the old mountain pass, it is also a wilderness, and there are more than 100 miles away from the North Gate Pass, the northern gate of Western Qin.

Yun Zhao led his army to chase after the retreating Western Qin army, and they rushed back to the North Gate Pass like crazy.

There, it was besieged by more than 30,000 Chu troops.

Gan Qing commanded the siege battle, and General Gu led more than 20,000 people from the Jizhou battalion to make a detour, and together with Yun Zhao, he surrounded more than 80,000 people of the Western Qin army on the wasteland.

On the wasteland, the Western Qin army fought hard for ten days, broke through several times to no avail, the main general was killed, and the remaining more than 70,000 people were all captured.

The siege of Beimen Pass was quickly defeated due to the lack of troops to defend the city. Gan Qing led his army to occupy the North Gate City.

The Western Qin army was pushed into numerous large pits so that they could be guarded.

Yun Zhao rushed to the North Gate with thirteen stars and moons.

Gan Qing stood on the city gate and watched the little figure step on the dust and smoke and roar.

He recalled the day he laid out the battle plan.

Yun Zhao went to the most dangerous place as the commander-in-chief, and no one agreed. And the plan she said next shocked everyone. The situation she wants to seek is related to the Three Kingdoms, the territory of Great Chu, and of course, the most important thing is to involve 200,000 soldiers and civilians in the five cities of Shuozhou.

At that time, General Yu asked: "Master Hou, can this matter be reported to Your Majesty?" ”

She shook her head and said in a firm tone: "The fighter plane is fleeting, and we don't have time to wait for the capital's approval." I set the plan, and I take responsibility. I admit to taking the North Gate Pass and dismissing the official position. ”

There was light in her eyes, flames of fire, but they were so scorching.

"Shuozhou has no natural hazards, Yuyang is in the north, and it is difficult for the people of the five cities to move, and it is always man-made here. The Western Qin sent troops, which was a godsend. After capturing the North Gate Pass, the soldiers of Da Chu no longer have to block the old mountain pass with their flesh and blood, and the people of the five cities in the south of Shuozhou can also sleep peacefully every night. ”

From that day on, Yun Zhao's resolute face would always come to his mind. Her thin shoulders carried the overall situation of the safety of the southern border.

What is the average woman doing at her age? Embroidering in the boudoir, depicting Danqing and reciting poems, or entangled in the inner house?

But she has galloped across the field, protecting half of the country, with tenacity and unparalleled strategy.

He had heard his uncle mention that she had a hard time living alone in Handan, and the cold face of the powerful was more hurtful than the sharpest sword in the world. But even so, she still has such a majestic strength to love the people, and the hills and valleys in her heart can be seen.

Whenever he thought about it, he couldn't help but burst into tears. Zheng Zheng man, willing to fall for this.

On a lonely winter day, the sky was pale, and the wind finally stopped calling. The mountains in the distance were dark brown, and there was snow on the dead branches in the distance, and the air was cold and clear.

On the mountain path, a horse galloped, and the sound of horses' hooves echoed in the valley, accompanied by the woman's shout: "Drive! ”

The deep and long corridor is as high as three people on both sides of the palace wall. The walls are dark gray, and the corridor is suffocatingly dark.

A column of people passed through the corridor quietly and quickly, only the crisp voice of the armor echoed.

The majestic hall is resplendent in gold. There are eight high pillars on the left and right in the hall, and the golden coil dragon is pasted. The hall was open and about twenty people wide, and there were two rows of officials standing on each side of the column, standing solemnly.

The person sitting on the dragon chair above had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his face was dark. He wears a golden dragon robe and a golden crown hat.

A person walked in from outside the hall, drawing everyone's attention. The Emperor gave a subtle look and twisted his fingers.

Yun Zhao was dressed in a purple shirt with sleeves and no embellishments. She didn't have time to embellish the description, and she looked dusty.

Yun Zhao didn't squint, walked to the hall, and bowed respectfully: "Yun Zhao, the envoy of Great Chu, meet His Majesty Emperor Qin." ”

"Envoy? Can you bring your credentials? The old man on the right snorted coldly.

Yun Zhao raised his body and looked at him with a smile: "Ben Hou will only bring a letter of state, and that is the letter of surrender brought by the iron horse to break through Hancheng." ”

He Xiang is more than half a hundred years old, with gray hair and a pair of small round eyes that are in good spirits. At this time, he stared at Yun Zhao with round eyes and hostile eyes.

Yun Zhaowan didn't care at all that his words caused the indignation of everyone in the hall.

She looked up at the emperor: "Your Majesty, Yun Zhao came with sincerity this time to return Your Majesty's 70,000 soldiers." ”

The emperor frowned, and a man wearing a military attache uniform on the left asked, "What about your conditions?" ”

"Da Chu wants the north gate to close."

As soon as these words came out, the temple was in an uproar.

Yun Zhao continued: "Over the years, the battle between Qin and Chu has been nine times out of ten, and because of your country, the people of Great Chu are unbearable. His Majesty gave up the North Gate, and since then the door has been closed tightly, and they have not violated each other. An inconsequential Guancheng, in exchange for 70,000 soldiers of the Western Qin, Your Majesty, this is a good deal, isn't it? ”

The Emperor stared at her indifferently. Yun Zhao calmed.

"Your Majesty, let's take her, and the southern border army of Chu State will not watch their commander being killed." The military attache said.

Yun Zhao ruthlessly punctured his stupidity, and said in a mocking and relaxed tone, "It's hard for adults to think so highly of me. Yun Zhao has a cheap life, how can it be compared to 70,000 heroic souls, and there is a closed city. ”

The military attache glared at her.

"Your Majesty, although the North Gate Pass is a border city, it is not the only pass in the northern part of the Qin State. There is no North Gate Pass, there are still Zhuyang River and Zhuyang City as the gate, and Zhuyang City Pass is extremely advantageous in terrain. And I, Chu, am only for self-protection, to protect the people in the south from being reduced to war. "She dissects the stakes and is patient.

Yun Zhao glanced at the emperor, then at the military general who had just spoken, and chuckled: "Maybe Your Majesty can also listen to the words of the lord just now and tie me up." I don't know if Your Majesty dares to bet whether the Yuyang Army will return to Beimen Pass and 70,000 soldiers, or let me live or die and set foot in Hancheng. ”

Her expression was very calm, without provocation or fear, as if to say: You see the weather is really good today.

Everyone in the hall was shocked by her so-called gamble, and she seemed to have no idea whether she lived or died.

This was clearly a risky decision.

The emperor stood up worriedly, and said with compassion: "I can't abandon the 70,000 soldiers of our army. I agreed to the envoy's conditions. ”

He pretended to be merciful and chose the last resort.

70,000 soldiers implicated most of the people of Qin, and he couldn't afford to lose this bet.

The place where Wang Yanshu was closed was a temporary prison for the firewood house reform.

The house was black, with an iron door, and the windows on both sides were surrounded by iron railings and sealed with wooden planks. It was pitch black all day in the cell. The only good thing is that you don't have to suffer from wind chill in such a cold winter.

Wang Yanshu sat in the corner, his eyes closed. He had not eaten or eaten for three days, and there was no blood on his lips. But his expression was still calm.

Suddenly, the big iron door was opened, and there was a screeching sound. The sudden influx of sunlight made him uncomfortable.

Before he could open his eyes, he was forced to stand up with his collar on his shoulder.

"You're fooling me!"

Zhao Shinan's angry voice pierced his ears, making his heart tremble violently.

Wang Yanshu opened his eyes and looked at him indifferently: "The general has no loss. ”

He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, Zhao Shinan reacted like this, it seemed that Yun Zhao's plan was going well.

He was taken back to the room where he had first arrived, and this time, it was just the two of them.

Wang Yanshu's face was pale, his eyes were green, his eyes were bloodshot, and his lips were dry and white.

He looked terrible.

Zhao Shinan stared at the weak-looking scholar, gritted his teeth and wanted to gnaw on a piece of meat.

However, what he admired was that this scholar who looked at Wenwen was weak, but he was a strong bone, and he was hungry for three days without a drop of water, and he never opened his mouth to beg for mercy.

Even if he stood here now, he felt that a gust of wind was about to blow him down, but he still looked calm and confident.

"You didn't come here to negotiate conditions at all, just to confuse General Ben and order the Yuyang Army to go from the Yaya Pass to the North Gate Pass. When you come back from a feint attack on General Hangben, you have sent someone like you as a messenger, making me think that you are just relieving the predicament of the old mountain pass. In fact, it was for the sake of the Gully Pass to send troops to Western Qin. He sneered, "What a trick." ”
