In the Chu army camp, An Ruhai was sitting quietly wherever he was reading a book. In the tent, no one even took a breath except for the torches burning in Bibi. All the senior generals of the Western Army of Chu were summoned here by An Ruhai, but they didn't say anything. Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, looked at each other, wondering what the general was selling in the gourd.

The sound of the buzz outside the tent rang out the third update of the time. Suqian finally couldn't help it and coughed lightly: "General."

An Ruhai looked up at him.

"General!" Looking at An Ruhai's calm face as if it were Bubo, Suqian blushed a little, feeling that he was still a little calm, but since he had already started, he would naturally not stop.

"There will be a battle tomorrow. I wonder what instructions will the general be there for you to summon the last general?" he asked.

An Ruhai put down the book, "Maybe you don't have to wait until tomorrow."

"What does the general mean? Do you want to attack at night?" Su Qian raised his eyebrows, "The Qin army opposite us is not a mob. Their combat experience is much richer than that of us. We are here without any geographical convenience. We will not be able to gain any advantage in fighting at night, and the Qin army will have a great advantage. At the end, we will oppose the attack of Zhaoying Gorge at night. Maybe the Qin people are looking forward to us!"

An Ruhai chuckled and shook his head: "That's not what it means. What do you think about today's battle?"

"The Qin army is indeed fierce." Suqian thought for a while: "This is their last barrier, so naturally they will not give up easily. General, their reinforcements have arrived. We want to take Zhaoying Gorge, but we are afraid that we will not be able to catch our strength. If there is no major turning point, we will suggest that we should stop at the right time and consolidate the results we have already achieved."

After Suqian finished speaking, there was a voice of echoing in the tent. This time, the spring offensive launched by the Chu army was to take advantage of the death of Li Zhi of Qin, Deng's family came to power, and Bian's family was in a state of chaos. He wanted to get back his strategic advantages in the Luoying Mountains and return the situation between the two countries to the way Zuo Lixing was when he was in charge of the army five years ago. As long as this strategic goal is achieved, the Chu State will have spare energy in the west and will not be led by the Qin people, thereby pulling the domestic political situation. It can also allow the court to devote all its energy to the battles between the Eastern Front and the Qi people, in order to regain the unfavorable situation on the Eastern Front.

The strategic goal conceived before the war has been basically realized. If we fight further down, we will fight to the Qin people. Attacking Zhaoying Gorge these days has confirmed this idea. The Qin people will not retreat, but are preparing to fight to the death with the Chu people here.

This is not what Chu Jun wants.

"General Su is right. Actually, now we have everything we deserve." An Ruhai patted the book gently and said with a smile: "But people's hearts are not enough. I always want to get something else. So I am waiting for a good news that I may get tonight. If I wait really, it would be a blessing for the Great Chu and a blessing for you."

"What are the general waiting for?" Su Qian smiled and said, "Is it possible that some of the Qin people want to abandon the darkness and turn to the light and lead us into Zhaoying Gorge?"

Suqian's playful words made everyone in the tent laugh, and the original tense atmosphere was swept away.

"We have been fighting Zhaoying Gorge for so long, Yang Zhi from General Mountain has not moved, but he moved today. At the same time, Bian Wushuang has also come. It can be said that the power of Zhaoying Gorge has been greatly strengthened, but have you ever thought about why Yang Zhi moved today?"

"Bian Wushuang is the commander-in-chief. Yang Zhi can avoid Bian Wenzhong, but Bian Wushuang has come to support him, and he still can't move his troops. I'm afraid he can't make it right?" Su Qian said.

"Do you think Yang Zhi is afraid of Bian Wushuang?" An Ruhai shook his head: "If he is really afraid of Bian Wushuang, he would not have left at Jingjingguan Qiguan. Yang Zhi is waiting, and he is waiting for Bian Wushuang to arrive at Zhaoying Gorge."

The tent slowly became quiet, and even the most dull general understood the meaning of An Ruhai's dialect.

"The 100,000 border troops in the southern Qin State were always led by Deng Pu. Most of them were generals of the Deng family. Bian Wushuang took office for only half a year. Although he had many methods, it was obviously impossible to master this huge army in one breath. But Bian Wushuang is not an ordinary person. His methods must have threatened the Deng family's troops in this army. Therefore, they must find ways to save themselves, drive Bian Wushuang away, and let the army return to Deng's command." An Ruhai explained.

"So, starting from the retreat of Yang Zhi of Jingjingguan, these people in the Qin army were preparing for today, waiting for Bian Wushuang to arrive at Zhaoying Gorge."

"Are they going to launch a mutiny?" Suqian was immediately delighted. "No wonder Yang Zhi rushed to support him today. He wanted to enter Zhaoying Gorge to launch a mutiny. In this way, there must be someone in the Qin army inside Zhaoying Gorge to support him."

"It's not that they support him. Many of them were originally from Deng Puyi's group." Someone corrected Suqian's statement. "But Bian Wushuang is not a fool, but an extremely powerful person. I think he has a premonition and response to such things. Yang Zhi will not wait, because every day, Bian Wushuang's status will be consolidated for one day, and things will not hesitate, but there will be changes. Those generals who originally supported Yang Zhi may change their views with Bian Wushuang's means, so Yang Zhi will force the palace tonight."

"There is a possible internal strife in Zhaoying Gorge!" Suqian looked at An Ruhai: "It turns out that the general is waiting for this."

An Ruhai nodded with a smile: "The spies are watching closely all the movements inside Zhaoying Gorge. As long as the chaos arises, it is our opportunity. If we can take Zhaoying Gorge, then we will make a lot of money in this trip."

All the generals understood all this and were ecstatic. When the generals wanted to be promoted and made a fortune, the most convenient way was undoubtedly great military achievements. An Ruhai had already reached the general and no longer needed anything, but they were still eager to go further. However, the court's focus has always been in the east, and their Western army was not taken seriously. But this time, when the Eastern Front was unable to open up the situation and even was suppressed by the Qi army, most of the resources of the Western Army in China were leaning towards the Eastern Front, and instead made a major breakthrough. Taking Zhaoying Gorge and even attacking Qin's land was definitely a great victory that shocked the whole country. Not only did it wash away the shame of defeat five years ago, it was even more advanced, and greatly increased the prestige of Chu.

If the east is not bright, the west is bright, maybe the court will tilt more resources towards the Western Army.

Now in Zhaoying Gorge, Yang Zhi and Bian Wushuang's strength should be said to be similar. If there is really an internal strife, it will inevitably be an extremely cruel internal strife. For the Chu army, it will be like a pie falling from the sky, and it will be a great contribution for nothing.

How can everyone not be happy about such a good thing?

At Zhaoyingxia Camp, Ma Chao held a chess piece with his fingers, and with a slap, he landed on the chessboard. He looked at Bian Wushuang with a smile. Bian Wushuang exclaimed lightly. The black piece in his hand wanted to fall, but finally took it back. After repeated three times, he chuckled and threw the black piece in his hand into the chess box. "Your Highness's move is a magical stroke, I admit defeat. At most, there are five steps. My big dragon is about to be slaughtered."

"Bian Qing is a little absent-minded!" Ma Chao shook his head slightly. In the past, when the royal family, Bian and Deng were three-legged, he saw Bian Wushuang's face a little disgusting, but now, the Bian family must rely on the royal family to be in lingering and become a real royal thug. When he looked at this person's face, he would be much more pleasing to the eyes.

The political situation of Qin is different from other countries. The delicate balance situation formed over the years has made the Qin emperor the smallest among the four countries. The emperors of the other three countries make the decisions in one sentence, but in Qin, any decision of the royal family must be the result of the balance between the three families, which is naturally not so comfortable for the royal family.

Comparing people with others will make people angry.

If you want to gain that supreme power, Qin must make changes. The Bian family has become a loyal thug of the royal family, and the only remaining opponent is Deng family.

"Your Highness, I am not as calm as you." Bian Wushuang sighed: "There are hidden worries inside and the eyes of tigers outside. How can I calm down?"

"An Ruhai has been with Min Wei for many years and is commonplace in political struggles. He must have guessed that Zhaoying Gorge will not be calm tonight, and he must have been eyeing him. This made Wen Zhong lead his army closely on guard, and he was also worried that this person would suddenly attack?"

"Yes." Bian Wushuang nodded and looked directly at Ma Chao.

Ma Chao did not think it was offensive and slowly picked up the chess pieces one by one and it was back into the chess box. "If I can't hold the scene today, those soldiers are more loyal to the Deng family than to the royal family, what are you going to do?"

"If that's true, I will bargain with Yang Zhi, so that I can take my tribe members away from Qin and go into exile." Bian Wushuang lowered his head and said, "No matter what, I will not let the blood flow into the Zhaoying Gorge into a river. This is my bottom line."

"Very good, just for this, my Ma family must also keep you safe in Bian family. In the future, if you are facing An Ruhai here, will you have a chance of winning?"

"An Ruhai is old and can't last for many years." Bian Wushuang said: "An Ruhai, after An Ruhai, the Chu people are afraid that they will never find a general like him again. So as long as there is enough time, I am confident that I can fight back again."

"Time, we all need time. This time, I am not worried about how much storm Yang Zhi caused. What I am more worried about is how Deng's reaction will be made after he completely loses control of this army? After all, most of the Qin army is now in his hands."

"How about Xiao Qiang?"

"The grass on the wall is blowing and the wind blows on both sides. All he wants is his own interests."

As the last piece was put into the chess box, the imperial court, who had been standing quietly in the corner of the house, suddenly moved his ears, "Your Highness, it's time."

The two of them were playing chess and, sure enough, a faint noise began to come.

"The big show is on." Ma Chao stood up with a smile.
