[Wei Nie] Vertical and horizontal killing

Mentioning Canglong Qisu again made Zhang Han's brows darken, and his voice was very low, with the meaning of warning: "You used to be His Majesty's swordsman in Zhangtai, Mr. Gai will not know what to do. What should I not say?"

Gai Nie raised his sword and wanted to turn around.

Zhang Han couldn't see Gai Nie's intention for coming this time: "Mr. Gai is leaving now?"

Gai Nie tilted his head slightly and said, "I have already obtained what I want to know."

Zhang Han was stunned, his brows raised, and the two swords in his hands had already struck out: "Don't think about leaving easily."

Gai Nie had already anticipated the opponent's movement, and his toes were only a few inches away from Zhang Han's sword.

This moment seems to be dangerous, but Zhang Han knows that his sword blade is more than ten years away from cutting off the opponent's hair. Just from the experience of fighting in Tooth-eating Prison, Gai Nie's swordsmanship is compared with that in Zhangtai. When it is more pure and concise, every move and style seems to be pursuing the balance of life and death.

He is a swordsman, and even the strongest swordsman in the empire. No one knows the distance between life and death better than him.

Zhang Han withdrew his sword, not voluntarily, but because in an instant, Gai Nie had moved away from the furthest distance he could attack.Ge Nie may not be talking big - he wants to leave, no one can keep him.

Zhang Han gritted his teeth and said: "Gai Nie, you have betrayed the empire, which is a great crime; now you are fighting against the Mohists, this is an added crime. Even if His Majesty only intends to spare your life, do you think you are worthy of His Majesty's death?" Years matter?!"

Gai Nie's voice was very lonely in the night: "General Zhang, you have His Majesty's trust. This is a good deed; but because of this, the power in your hands is only relying on the emperor's mirror. Have you ever thought about it? On the day of death, what will happen to you and your shadow guards?"

Zhang Han sternly said: "Boldly rebellious! You actually said disrespectful words to His Majesty!"

Ge Nie had already turned around, and his voice sounded more distant, like the distance between empire and rebellion: "No one can survive, Ge, that's all for now."

Without further words, Ge Nie's robe fluttered slightly, and disappeared into the bushes shrouded in night.

Zhang Han looked down at his unconscious subordinate, and for the first time he gave up the idea of ​​chasing Gai Nie.He walked quickly back to the bronze wooden box, stretched out his hand to press the mechanism on it, and the armor lock opened in response——

Zhang Han breathed a sigh of relief, the contents inside seemed intact.But then, he frowned again.

Gai Nie already knew that this was a game set up to compete against a hundred schools of thought?

So, will the quicksand master enter the game again?

Mohist Gao Jianli and Big Iron Hammer lost their whereabouts after fighting with Tian Hu. Wei Zhuang traced the rut marks left near Lie Shan Hall and found that the rut marks were heading towards the tomb of Emperor Yan Liuxian.

Wei Zhuang is not active in rescuing the people of the Mohist family, and he doesn't care about it sooner or later.In contrast, he is more interested in the layout of the people.

The next evening, the two returned to the cave one after another.

Gai Nie put down his wooden sword, sat down cross-legged, and said first, "Zhang Han is indeed escorting something to Xianyang, and the stone of enchantment that the peasants are fighting is really just a blindfold."

It was still early, and the two did not light a fire.

Wei Zhuang bent his knees and propped his chin: "I have seen the traces of the ruts, which indicate that the vehicle is loaded with the weight of at least four to five adults, and the driving is slow, and the marks are clear." After finishing speaking, he looked at Gai Nie with an expression like The opponent's troublemaker.

Gai Nie did not disappoint him, he frowned and said two words: "The bait."

Wei Zhuang: "This is not bad news."

Gai Nie felt the same: "At least it proves that Xiao Gao and Big Hammer are not in danger of life." As long as the trapped prey is not caught, the bait is still valuable.

This is in line with Wei Zhuang's thinking: "If there is no use value, they would have died long ago."

Gai Nie: "It seems that someone has prepared a good show for you and me."

Wei Zhuang's expression was a bit bored: "I hope this play will be wonderful and won't disappoint me."

Gai Nie looked at the darkening sky: "Tomorrow's rescue must be very careful."

Wei Zhuang: "It's just a few mobs from the peasant family. In order to snatch the stone of Yinghuo, Tian Hu and Tian Zhong must dare to intercept the Zhu family and Situ Wanli. Tian Yan has been kept in the mourning hall and imprisoned, so he should be able to shoulder the role of escorting the Mo family. Only the head of Kui Kui hall is left." He remembered that it seemed to be a woman, the Zhu family mentioned it once or twice, and it was because of Sheng Qi.

Ge Nie shook his head: "They have Xiao Gao and a big hammer in their hands, and they set traps, you and I should not be underestimated."

Wei Zhuang was already used to Ge Nie's clichés, which were so humble that they were almost hypocritical, and he brought up the topic he hadn't continued just now: "What is Zhang Hanzheng really escorting?"

Gai Nie: "Born by gods, they have different shapes, or die or live, and only saints can understand them."

Wei Zhuang laughed playfully: "It turns out that it is to seek longevity. It is said that when the Jupiter in the sky appears in the world, there will be great wars and blood flow in the world. When the resentment of the dead has accumulated to the peak, the Tai Sui will grow in the corresponding place on the ground—no wonder , Luo Wangying’s secret guards must gather in Dongjun.”

If it's just for farmers, it seems to elevate them a bit.After all, a stone of lucidity can make the hall masters unable to bear their loneliness and reveal their ambitions to kill each other.

……

The two people in Guigu Zongheng looked at each other, and they both had calculations in their hearts.These two days seem to have returned without success, but the next step to enter and break the game has gradually become clear.

Xu time is coming to an end, and the sky is already dark.

Gai Nie withdrew his internal energy.

Swordsmanship can be tricky, but internal strength needs to be accumulated over many years, so you can't be lazy in a day.Not far from him, Wei Zhuang had just opened his eyes, and the light in his eyes was shining, which was also a manifestation of the pure and progressive internal force.

Gai Nie was about to get up to set up the hole, when Wei Zhuang asked, "What kind of person is Zhao Gao?"

Ge Nie paused for a moment, then turned to look at him.The light of the fire was already weak, and Wei Zhuang's face looked a little more gentle and harmless than usual in this night.

There is a saying in the art of war, know yourself and know your enemy.

At this moment, their biggest opponent is Luo Wang.

Gai Nie thought the same as Wei Zhuang, he slowly recalled: "Zhao Gao, originally from Zhao country."

Wei Zhuang showed an expression that was as expected.Zhao, originally the family name of Zhao Wang.Zhao Gao was born in the state of Qin, which means that Zhao Gao's paternal line goes up, and he is a descendant of Qin, the sparse family of the king of Zhao.

Gai Nie said: "In the past, the Seven Kingdoms were hostage to each other. Most of the hostages were offspring of the royal family who were not loved. They stayed in other countries for many years without favor or support. They were not allowed to return to their hometowns until they died. The lucky ones married wives and had children, and their descendants lived in the market. To be a Qin person is no different from a commoner."

Wei Zhuang is best at inferring the other party with malice: "Then he is malicious Jianqin?"

It's not that Wei Zhuang was suspicious. Su Qin died in Qi in the past, and King Min of Qi died in the turmoil is the evidence.With the power of Guigu alone, he almost wiped out the huge state of Qi.Although the country was restored, Qi has never recovered from the fall.

Gai Nie disagreed: "That's not the case."

Wei Zhuang: "Oh?"

"Zhao Gao was eager to learn when he was young. When he became an adult, he was proficient in calligraphy and knew the laws of politics. He became an official as an official. After three years of study, his academic evaluation was the best. It only took him nine short years to walk from the hidden palace school to the emperor's side."

Wei Zhuang said, "I think the order of the CRRC government should be a military post."

Gai Nie nodded: "Indeed. The CRRC Mansion Order is the ban on domestic cars in the palace. It is specially in charge of the emperor's chariots and horses. He personally drives the chariots. He is the emperor's confidant and close minister." The emperor's driver, in addition to being able to chase galloping horses, In addition to the horse-drawn carriage that runs up and down at any time, it must also be able to pull the eight-stone crossbow and shoot left and right while galloping.

This is a talent, it is rare for Wei Zhuang to evaluate a person like this.

Unfortunately, such a person is their enemy.

Wei Zhuang then asked: "What's wrong with him and Young Master Fusu?"

Gai Nie recalled: "Zhao Gao and Fusu have no quarrel. However, Zhao Gao was imprisoned for violating the laws of Qin. Meng Yi was ordered to have a trial and sentenced to the death sentence. Later, the emperor cherished talents and pardoned him as before."

Capital crime first?

Amnesty and reinstatement?

interesting.

Wei Zhuang said: "You are in Xianyang Palace, but you don't know what crime he committed?"

Gai Nie shook his head: "I was ordered to arrest the black swordsman, but I was not in Xianyang Palace."

Wei Zhuang pondered: "I'm afraid it's not that Zhao Gao really violated the laws of Qin, but that Ying Zheng wanted to warn Zhao Gao that his life and death depended entirely on the emperor's thoughts."

The original intention was to intimidate Shi En, and he wanted to win the other party's loyalty, but he didn't know that he encountered a greedy poisonous snake.

The right to life or death is a tempting poison.

That kind of taste, as long as you try it once, you will never forget it.

"Maybe." Ge Nie had many guesses, but they were just guesses after all.He wouldn't easily mention it to others, but for Wei Zhuang, he didn't have to hide it.Because Wei Zhuang has enough ability to find the truth.

The corner of Wei Zhuang's mouth curved into a cold arc: "It's a pity that Ying Zheng didn't expect that the same method will bring about the opposite result for a certain kind of people-people like Zhao Gao will only desire power and status even more."

Gai Nie: "The Meng family was originally the emperor's help in cultivating the successor."

Wei Zhuang has roughly deduced: "However, because Zhao Gao was judged as Meng Yi, he regarded the Meng family as hostile. He judged the situation and couldn't resist the emperor for the time being, so he wanted to find a scapegoat. Unfortunately, he must reuse the Meng family The young master helped Su, and became Zhao Gao's stumbling block."

Gai Nie was silent for a while, and agreed with this statement: "What's more, before I left Xianyang, Zhao Gao had already been ordered to teach calligraphy for the eighteenth son Hu Hai."

Wei Zhuang lay down, propping the back of his head with one hand: "Either you die, or I live, isn't it interesting?"

Gai Nie didn't answer Wei Zhuang's words, he got up to set up the trap at the entrance of the cave, and finished the rest.

Wei Zhuang watched Gai Nie's every move in the dark.

Just the smell of entitlement is enough to drive many people crazy.However, Gai Nie left Xianyang Palace, just like leaving Ghost Valley, without hesitation.

Gai Nie thought of Xianyang Palace, the dead and the living.

Zhao Gao's desire is destined to cause many people to lose their right to live.

In the dark, Wei Zhuang said slowly: "Qin destroyed South Korea and established Yingchuan County. Koreans are obsessed with their homeland and refused to submit to Qin. Qin State split South Korea, and Shangdang County would rather Zhao State than submit to Qin State. In the battle of Changping between Qin State and Zhao State, 40 Zhao people were killed by Bai Qi. Your Zhao State has never recovered.”

Gai Nie was silent, thinking of the ups and downs when he was young.

After the Battle of Changping, he lost his homeland and relatives, and finally went to Ghost Valley.There, he met Wei Zhuang, who was born in a Korean aristocrat, and became his senior brother.

Zhao Guo no longer exists.

The demise of South Korea is only the starting point of the fall of the six countries.

They are all people who have lost their homeland.

The author has something to say: Su Qin is a capable man, and he almost destroyed Qi State by himself.In The Rise of the Great Qin Empire, which is currently being played in full swing, this period of four years is described.Face-to-face, it described Su Qin as a lover, because the husband and son of the concubine of Yan State whom he admired were all killed by Qi people, and they wanted to avenge him.

Take a look at the details, excerpted from Du Niang:

Su Qin has only one loyal object from beginning to end, and that is King Yan.

His strategy for King Yan was to send him as an envoy to Qi to encourage Qi to expand abroad and create unfavorable international relations for Qi in order to achieve the strategic goal of conspiring to attack Qi.

And the most important role in this plan is Zhao Guo.Zhao State was one of the most powerful countries adjacent to Qi State at that time, and also bordered Yan State, so the most important thing is to make Zhao State willing to attack Qi State.

The first step of Su Qin's plan is to assist Qi to attack Song and gain the trust of Qi.

But after the attack on the Song Dynasty, a faction appeared in Zhao State who wanted to unite Qi State.If Qi and Zhao are united, it will be difficult for Yan State to weaken Qi State.So Su Qin is going to drive a wedge between Qi and Zhao next.

But after alienating the relationship between Qi and Zhao, Qin State took this opportunity to unite with Qi State to attack Zhao State.And if you want to use Zhao Guo, you can't let it be weakened too much.So Su Qin divorced the relationship between Qi and Qin again, and conspired to attack Qin vertically. This is the pinnacle of Su Qin's life recorded in "Historical Records".

After defeating Qin, Qi and Qin began to unite again, and Su Qin entered Wei at this time, trying to persuade King Wei to continue fighting against Qin.Because Qi and Qin were still united at that time, if the five countries jointly attacked Qi and Qin wanted to rescue Qi, it had to go through Wei.Therefore, Wei State not falling to Qin State is an important condition for Qin State to not interfere with Qi State's plan.

Su Qin's persuasion here failed, but it did not affect the follow-up plan.Because after Qin State acquired Anyi, it turned around and tore up the peace treaty with Qi State, turning its face and attacking Qi State.

Then, under the leadership of Le Yi, they attacked Qi and won a big victory.
