The Grandmaster Strategist

When the leader of the Northern Han Dynasty heard that Qinzhou was defeated, he gathered heavy troops to defend Jinyang. On April 22nd, Princess Jiaping led the remaining army back to Jinyang. The people were afraid of the Yong people's revenge, so they helped the elderly and children to take refuge northward, marching thirty days a day. Here, General Long loved General Duan Wudi, who was known for his good defense. After asking for permission, he protected the people going north.

When Taizong entered the Han territory, he heard that the Han lord had retreated to Jinyang. He smiled and said that he should cut off foreign aid first and then abandon Jinyang. He took a detour to Loufan Pass and sent troops between Xin and Dai.

——"Zi Zhi Tong Jian Yong Ji III"

In the General's Mansion in Qinyuan City, in an elegant pavilion, pointing to the black and white chess pieces on the chess floor, I said seductively: "A game of chess can be roughly divided into three stages: layout, middle game and ending. Officials, if war is used as a metaphor, the layout is the process in which both sides gather overt and covert forces before the war, test each other, and deploy their troops. If there is a difference in the layout, it is equivalent to giving the enemy control. Therefore, you must be careful when playing chess. For example, this attack on the Northern Han Dynasty was initially just a battle between the Yong Zezhou Army and the Qinzhou Army of the Northern Han Dynasty. However, the Northern Han Dynasty enlisted the aid of Southern Chu to provoke internal changes in the Yong Dynasty. In addition to the Qinzhou Army, , and mobilized the Daizhou Army to launch a thunderous attack. The layout was not far-reaching, and the methods were fierce and fierce. However, the imperial court took advantage of the internal conflicts in Nanchu to cut off this foreign aid. In response to the internal chaos, it took measures to control its development. Without letting it affect the overall situation, as for the formal battle, in addition to the Zezhou Army, General Changsun was secretly dispatched to help. Our army defeated the Northern Han Dynasty in both advance calculations and the concentration of troops, so we laid the foundation for victory. Base.

As for the middle game, it is the process of strangulation between the two sides. It can be said that the outcome of most wars can be decided in the middle game. This time the battle between our army and the Northern Han Army in Qinzhou can be said to be the process of the game between the two sides. A little bit Inadvertently, we were completely defeated. Our army could be said to have lost three battles in a row in Anze, Qinyuan, and Qinshui Valley. However, due to timely intelligence and His Highness taking the lead, we were able to lure the enemy into encirclement after a bitter battle. Otherwise, it would have been like this. , I'm afraid the ambush we set will become the biggest joke.

The ending is the process of ending the battle. Now our army has controlled the overall situation, but if we don't fight for the camp step by step, there is still the possibility of failure, or the enemy will fight to the death. "

It is now April 23rd. Our army has captured Qinyuan. However, rather than capturing Qinyuan, it is better to say that the Northern Han Army took the initiative to abandon Qinyuan. On April 20th, Lin Bi took Qinyuan with him. The remnants of the Daizhou Army and the remnants of the Qinzhou Army reunited and were taken back to Qinyuan by Duan Wudi. According to the news heard by our army's spies, the leader of the Northern Han Dynasty has issued an order to let Lin Bi withdraw to Jinyang. This is also a helpless matter. Now if the Northern Han Dynasty disperses its troops, it will only result in being defeated by the enemy one by one. If By gathering heavy troops in Jinyang, we can still maintain our strength. Moreover, Jinyang was the capital of the Northern Han Dynasty and the terrain was dangerous. If Jinyang could not be captured, even if Dayong captured the city in the future, it would be difficult to defend these cities, so retreat had become the only option. But of course our army could not allow the enemy to retreat so easily, so the army began to advance step by step with the force of thunder sweeping holes. At this time, I naturally did not need to go with the army, so I stayed in Qinyuan to take charge. Of course, I was not alone. Jing Chi also stayed in Qinyuan to recuperate. This time he was seriously injured. Although he saved his life, without half a year of recuperation, it would be impossible for him to go back to battle. As for the military affairs, others would naturally take care of them. I had nothing to do, so I asked Jing Chi to play chess with me. Jing Chi has a rough temper and is not interested in Go, but I naturally have the means to make him learn obediently, and I also take the opportunity to teach him some military strategies, lest he only knows how to kill and wants to be the commander alone. He is still not good enough now. Far away.

Sitting on the soft couch opposite me, Jing Chi, who was pale but looked good, looked at the chessboard. Seeing that I was excited about talking, he secretly yawned. I glared at him. He smiled awkwardly and thought Wanting to deal with it perfunctorily, he asked: "Sir, how did our army end?"

I shook my head gently. A child cannot be taught. I'd better talk about the current situation. As for how much he can understand, it's up to him.

He put away the chess pieces, arranged the chess surface, and ordered Hu Yanshou to take a map of the Northern Han Dynasty and place it on the chess surface. Then he placed a few white chess pieces in Jinyang and said: "Jinyang has now gathered most of the Northern Han people." In addition to the original 100,000 defenders, there are also 50,000 troops gathered from various places. The combat strength of these armies varies, but they can still fight. Qinzhou's defeated army still has 30,000 troops, and Duan Wudi also has tens of thousands of troops in his hands. Coupled with Princess Jiaping's Daizhou Army, at least 50,000 people can be gathered back to Jinyang. So now the Northern Han Dynasty has concentrated all the power of the country on Jinyang. They hope to defend Jinyang. Jinyang has millions of soldiers and civilians, and the city The water is high and deep, and the food and grass can last for more than a year. With elite soldiers and strong generals to defend the city, we can drag our army into the territory of the Northern Han Dynasty. Jinyang is a place of hundreds of battles. If we cannot capture it, we will even capture the rest of the Northern Han Dynasty. , and cannot occupy its territory. Therefore, this final battle is not an easy task. What the court wants is a complete victory, not a loss of both sides and a loss of life and death. So now the first step for our army to close is to compress the enemy's living space. Cut off its foreign aid."

After hearing this, Jing Chi's eyes immediately fell on Daizhou, and he pointed at Yanmen and said: "Sir, didn't the Japanese military report a few days ago say that the barbarians were knocking on the pass? Is Daizhou still capable of rescuing Jinyang?"

I smiled and said: "The situation in Daizhou is very tense now. Now the eight tribes of barbarians have re-established the Khan King Wanyan Najin and stormed Yanmen Pass. The main force of Daizhou army was taken away by Lin Bi. Once Yanmen Pass is breached, the barbarians will march straight in. They looted excessively, and even occupied Daizhou, peeking at Xinzhou and Jinyang. If Daizhou could resist the barbarians, we could still let it go, but in the current situation, if Daizhou is not protected in the end, the generals and civilians will inevitably evacuate to In Xinzhou, when the Northern Han Dynasty was attacked on both sides, the Daizhou army would join forces with Jinyang. Not only would Jinyang receive strong reinforcements, but the barbarians would also be allowed to invade the country. I am afraid that it will be our army that directly faces the barbarians. , if someone from the Northern Han royal family proposes to make peace with the barbarians again, and use gold and silk land to lure the barbarians into becoming enemies of our army, our army will really be in trouble. Moreover, Princess Jiaping's military strategy is not inferior to Long Tingfei's, she is now She was elected as the commander-in-chief and led the army back to Jinyang. If she was in charge of Jinyang's military affairs, it would be impossible to capture Jinyang."

Jing Chi looked at the map for a long time and said: "Princess Jiaping will probably travel day and night to return to Daizhou after learning about the military situation in Daizhou. How can she have the heart to guard Jinyang?"

I smiled and said: "It's not bad that you can think of this, but now it is impossible for Lin Bi to return to Daizhou. After the emperor left Tongguan, he did not go directly to Jinyang, but went around to Loufanguan. Now Daizhou has Xinzhou and Jinyang are isolated. According to my original plan, as long as the army holds Loufan Pass, the barbarians can be blocked in Daizhou. Our army can sit back and watch the Daizhou army and the barbarians suffer both losses. After Jinyang is peaceful, we can calmly clean up the mess. , by then the barbarians must have captured Daizhou, and our army can take advantage of the situation to eliminate the eight main forces. In this way, the barbarians will not be able to recover within ten years, and Daizhou will be severely damaged, which will also facilitate future rule."

Jing Chi felt cold in his heart when he heard that, and said: "Sir, you are too cruel. If this happens, the warriors of Daizhou will die cleanly. Although I was chased to pieces by them, I still admire Princess Jiaping and Daizhou very much." Military." He was dissatisfied and his tone was a little strange. If it was normal, he would not dare to do this.

I glared at him and said, "If we don't reduce the enemy's strength, how can we fight head-on with the enemy?"

Jing Chi hesitated and did not dare to refute, but there was clear opposition in his eyes. I smiled when he saw this and said: "Don't use this expression. The emperor has already rejected my plan. The emperor has considered it more deeply. It is impossible for barbarians to do it in one fell swoop." After being eliminated, Daizhou will still be an important town to resist the barbarians in the future. If Daizhou's vitality is severely damaged, it will definitely have a great impact on the future resistance to the barbarians. Moreover, the Lin family of Daizhou has guarded the border for generations and does not pay much attention to power and wealth. The Lin family Although they had a prominent position in the Northern Han Dynasty, it was said that the family had no money left, and all their salaries, gold and silk were spent on military expenses and pensions, and they did not completely obey Jinyang's orders. Although the leader of the Northern Han Dynasty and Daizhou were related by marriage, Except for this time when the life and death of the Northern Han Dynasty was at stake, Daizhou's army never went abroad to help. Even this time it went to war not because of the in-law relationship between the two families, but because the Northern Han royal family's assistance to Daizhou over the years gave them a heart to repay their gratitude. From this point of view, the Lin family was not a loyal minister of the Northern Han Dynasty. Their loyalty was only to the people of the country, not to any court. The Lin family was a pure minister. Therefore, the emperor not only did not want to destroy the Lin family, but also wanted to preserve the power of the Lin family. The emperor said that the Lin family has contributed to the hometown of Daizhou and is the iron wall of northern Xinjiang. It cannot be easily shaken. If I follow my plan, it will not only be a pity for the Lin family and destroy the Great Wall, but also make the people of Daizhou hate me. It will not be conducive to future rule, so the emperor decided to appease the Lin family. Even the Northern Han royal family, the emperor did not want to kill them all."

Jing Chi was overjoyed when he heard this and blurted out: "What do I mean, the emperor would not adopt such a sinister strategy. In his life, the emperor loves and cherishes talents the most, and he is even more respectful to loyal people. If there is tit-for-tat confrontation on the battlefield, It wouldn't be surprising to kill every member of the Lin family, but using barbarians to deal with the Lin family is not something the emperor can do."

After saying these words, Jing Chi felt a sudden chill on the back of his neck. He immediately remembered that his words had scolded Jiang Zhe so much that he couldn't help but glance over, only to see Jiang Zhe looking like he was smiling but not smiling. He seemed to be playing with a few chess pieces in his hand nonchalantly, but no matter how he looked at it, Jing Chi felt that there was a trace of murderous intent in that smile. He moved back with some fear, and Jing Chi said nonchalantly: "Well, sir, I'm not scolding." you."

I smiled and said: "I don't blame you. You see, His Highness the King of Qi and General Changsun have begun to divide their forces to attack. His Highness the King of Qi is pursuing the Qinzhou Army, and General Changsun is responsible for pacifying the four directions. Before our army can join forces in Jinyang, we must All the resistance forces in the Northern Han Dynasty were wiped out and subdued, or they were expelled to Jinyang, but you can't participate. Who made you so gullible that you let the spies of the Demon Sect of the Northern Han Dynasty get close to you, not only causing yourself serious injuries, but also Let the Northern Han army charge out fifty or sixty thousand people. When the battle is over in the future, your merits will be judged. When you first entered Huguan and attacked all the way, the killings were extremely heavy. Even if the emperor didn't mind, he would have to punish you heavily to calm the people. , Secondly, to serve as a warning to others, although you fought hard all the way from Qinyuan to Jishi, you were defeated after all. At most, you only made up for it. It is a pity that for such a great achievement as the encirclement and annihilation of the Northern Han army, you derelict in your duty because of the assassination. It seems that this time you only have hard work and no merit."

Jing Chi felt very suffocated. Listening to the words that seemed to be regretful but actually sarcastic, he became more and more depressed, but he did not dare not listen. Fortunately, Jiang Zhe quickly stopped sarcastic and started pointing at the map and continued talking. Jing Chi He felt relieved. He knew a thing or two about Jiang Zhe's temper. Since he immediately mocked him, he would no longer hold a grudge and listened with peace of mind as Jiang Zhe continued to explain how to "end things off".

I used chess pieces to mark the positions of the enemy and our armies. I pointed to the Qinzhou City Road: "Qinzhou City is the capital of Qinzhou and the location of Longting Fei Commander's Mansion. Now the Northern Han Army is reorganizing its troops here and preparing to continue to retreat. In order to force The enemy troops further divided their forces, and His Highness the King of Qi spread rumors that Yong's army was about to encounter a city and massacre it. Now the people on our army's march route are flocking to Qinzhou City. The people of Qinzhou have supported Long Tingfei and He for many years. Our army was wary when fighting, and after Long Tingfei died, they lost all confidence, so they supported the old and the young and wanted to flee north. Qinzhou City was flooded with refugees and could not be defended at all, unless Lin Bi and others People can cruelly drive the refugees out of the city. But even if the generals of the Northern Han Dynasty did such a thing, it would be difficult to appease the Qinzhou army, which was inextricably linked to the people of Qinzhou. Therefore, whether it was for the king's life or for survival, the Northern Han Dynasty The Han army has only one choice, which is to return north to Jinyang. Originally, I just hoped that the Northern Han army would lose the support of the people. I didn't expect that there are idiots. Duan Wudi has taken the initiative to stay behind. Now the refugees can only travel dozens of miles a day. He led With the headquarters of less than 20,000 people slowly cutting off, His Highness should be catching up now. By the way, do you know why the Northern Han people believe so much that our army will massacre the city? The King of Qi sent your banner to the vanguard, saying that you were just frivolous. It’s just an injury, and now he is injured and going into battle, preparing to take revenge on the city.”

Now Jing Chi's eyes widened and he looked at me aggrievedly, but I burst into laughter, and now all the anger in his tone was gone.

After a while, Governor Jing Chi muttered: "It's just me who is unlucky anyway. It would be fine if I were really asked to massacre the city, but it's just for a false reputation." The expression on my face remained unchanged, but I suppressed a smile. Although he spoke softly, I could hear him clearly. Seeing that Jing Chi was tired, I asked him to recover well, and then I returned to my study.

This study was originally used by Duan Wudi. There are still many scrolls and manuscripts in the study that Duan Wudi took away. Although he was a military commander, he was quite knowledgeable in classics and history. Looking at the notes and some manuscripts he left in the study, although The writing is a bit rough, but the artistic conception is quite profound. I took out a notebook that I hadn't finished reading yesterday, and then flipped through it. Most of it contained his experiences and some essays recorded when he was studying, as well as some words similar to notes. This is the best way to understand a person. Especially if you want to finish the game, he is one of the keys. For Jing Chi, I only talked about some military matters, and there were some things that he didn't need to know.

Duan Wudi is responsible for breaking up the rear this time, and he has an important hostage in his hands, namely Xuan Song. I have received news from Xiao Shunzi and Su Qing, and learned that Xuan Song is still alive, but was injured and detained. Although The person was found, but no matter how powerful Xiao Shunzi was, there was no way to rescue Xuan Song from the tight siege. Although Su Qing tried every means, Qinyuan was controlled by Duan Wudi like an iron wall, let alone rescuing Xuan Song. It took a lot of effort to contact him. Especially after Lin Bi entered Qinyuan, she couldn't even think about saving people. Xiao Shunzi and Su Qing had already given up. Who knew that after the Northern Han army retreated to Qinzhou City, Lin Bi would lead his army northward the next day. In Jinyang, after Duan Wudi resigned, he kept Xuan Song secretly. It is also a coincidence that not many people knew about Xuan Song's capture, and almost all of those who knew except Lin Bi, Xiao Tong and Duan Wudi had died in the Ji family, so after obtaining Lin Bi's acquiescence, , Xuan Song was kept as a hostage by Duan Wudi. After learning this news, I naturally guessed Duan Wudi's intention, which was just to exchange for some conditions through Xuan Song, but I thought he wouldn't go too far, and I had already made arrangements and would never give him an advantage. This time, Duan Wudi Invincible is destined to have no chance to return to Jinyang.

The overall situation on the battlefield of the Northern Han Dynasty has been decided, but the so-called ending does not only refer to this place. I sent a letter to the East China Sea a few days ago, asking them to let Qiu Yufei go. When Qiu Yufei returns to the Northern Han Dynasty, the overall situation has been decided. Determined, and I can negotiate with the Demon Sect through him. How could I not use such a good middleman? Otherwise, why would I bother to save his life in the first place? I will not put myself in a position just to cherish my talents. It's dangerous, if I don't have other uses, how can I indulge my emotions and make friends with him. Also, Dongchuan should also be pacified. Thinking of this, I walked to the remaining chess game under the window, and gently placed a chess piece on the southwest corner of the chessboard. One piece decided the world, and nothing happened in the southwest from now on. , I don’t know what it feels like for a person to fall from the highest place, so I snickered a little maliciously. Completely unaware that Hu Yanshou, who was standing guard outside the study room, shuddered and thought to himself, I wonder who else is going to be unlucky.

At this moment, in Nanzheng City, the former palace of the King of Shu and the residence of Prince Qing are now the palace of the newly "restored" King of Shu. The new King of Shu, Meng Xu, is just a little baby, playing around under the care of his mother-in-law and a group of maids and chambermaids. The current Queen Mother Qi of the King of Shu is just a young woman in her twenties. In the past, she was the maid of Mrs. Jinlian, so she had the opportunity to be favored by the King of Shu. After becoming pregnant, she has not yet been promoted to a concubine. If the Kingdom of Shu does not After death, she was at most an ordinary concubine in the harem, and her son was just a little prince with a low status. But now, she has become the banner for the restoration of the old Shu Dynasty. Regardless of whether this matter is lucky or unfortunate for her mother and son, she is just a puppet who is incompetent to make the decision. Therefore, even though she is the Queen Mother, she still looks melancholy. Only after seeing Aiko's naivety will he occasionally smile.

With the help of the palace maid, Meng Xu finally broke off a peach blossom. He ran and jumped with the peach blossom into his mother's arms. He held the flower branch high for his mother to hold. Strong joy surged in Qi's heart. Holding my beloved son tightly, I thought to myself, how much would it be if I could spend a peaceful life with my beloved son without any worries. At this moment, several muffled groans suddenly came from Qi's ears. Qi raised her head and saw the last chambermaid knocked unconscious to the ground, but the person who took action was a middle-aged man wearing a guard's uniform. With an elegant appearance and a somewhat gloomy look, Mrs. Qi exclaimed: "Gu Weiwei!"

Qi looked around in panic, only to see two middle-aged guards on the left and right who had restrained all the other guards and maids. One of the two guards had a beard on his face and a powerful appearance, while the other had eagle eyes and thin lips. He had a stern and cold appearance, but I haven't seen it before. She suppressed the urge to call for help and looked at these middle-aged people with malicious intentions calmly. After the fall of Shu, she escaped from the palace on the orders of King Shu and Mrs. Jinlian, and was later betrayed by his attendants to King Qing. Although King Qing did not harm him in order to take advantage of their identities, the Qi family has also experienced disasters and is no longer what it used to be. She is an ignorant woman. She knows that calling for help will only cause the three people in front of her to be killed. Therefore, not only did she not dare to call for help, she also stretched out her hand to hold Meng Xu tightly in her arms and covered Meng Xu's mouth to prevent him from being shocked. Shout out.

The other two guards had already retreated behind Guard Gu. Mrs. Qi knew that Guard Gu was the leader of the three. She vaguely remembered that his name was Gu Ning and he had a high status. Although he had only been in the palace for a few days, among the guards, Many people hold him in high esteem. Moreover, this person was usually very polite and never showed contempt for her mother and son's status as puppets. But why did this person suddenly kill her? She looked at Gu Ning with fearful eyes and said: "Gu Wei, you want to treat me... What are you doing with Wang Er?"

Gu Ning sighed softly, pressed the hilt of the knife, walked slowly to Qi, prostrated and said: "The common people are ordered to come to take the king's life." He entered the Shu palace on Huo Jicheng's order. For convenience, he only brought Two sworn brothers, Zhang Han and He Yun, neither of them had much interest in the great cause of restoring the country. They only advanced and retreated with him out of brotherly love.

Qi's face turned pale and she said, "Did he obey King Qing's order? He shouldn't dare to kill us now."

Gu Ning was moved when he heard this, and thought to himself, even this woman knows this truth, so why doesn't the leader of the alliance know why he forced me to offend the king? Could it be that he has some trick, but no matter what, it is difficult for him to do it after all. Escape from that person's control.

He said sadly: "Your Majesty, I have no choice but to forgive you." After saying that, he stood up and drew his sword, hesitated for a moment, and then slashed with the sword.

Although Qi was unable to resist, her mother's instinct made her try her best to hold her beloved son in her arms and block the steel knife with her body. Even if she died, she would die in front of her beloved son, and she still had some hope in her heart. It can be heard from this man's tone that he does not have serious murderous intention in his heart, and he seems to be forced to do it. If this man kills himself and cannot bear it, perhaps the murderous intention will subside, and maybe his beloved son can still be alive. Get life.

The steel knife suddenly stopped, just a hair away from the Qi family. Veins popped up on Gu Ning's forehead. The knife could not strike it no matter what. He was a loyal person, how could he kill a member of the royal family, even if the Qi family Mother and son are not in this position. As a chivalrous man, how could he do this to women and children.

Seeing this, Mrs. Qi quickly knelt down on the ground and cried: "Gu Guard, please show mercy and spare the lives of my mother and son. I, my mother and my son will be forever grateful."

Gu Ning's eyes were hesitant, with a struggling look on his face. At this time, the middle-aged man with eagle eyes and thin lips said coldly: "Brother Gu, don't forget that Yan'er and Bao'er are still in Huo Yi's hands. Ying'er's life and death are even unknown. If you don't obey the orders of the alliance leader, what will happen to the children? Their mother and son are just puppets of Prince Qing, do you really think they are some kind of king or queen mother?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Qi quickly begged: "Gu Guard, I and Xu'er's identity are not false, but I dare not beg for mercy like this. I only ask Guard Gu to spare our lives for the sake of our orphans and widowed mothers. If If there is any inconvenience, as long as Xu'er's life can be spared, even if I cut my body into pieces with a thousand knives, I will not complain." She heard that Gu Ning seemed to want to take the lives of her mother and son because her nephew was forced to do so, so she tactfully Move their hearts with the affection of mother and child.

When Gu Ning heard this, he finally let out a long sigh, put down the steel knife, and said sadly: "Let's not ignore that this child is the flesh and blood of the late king, and just talk about the morality of the world, can I, Gu, save my own flesh and blood by killing other people's mother and son? Well, brothers, I have decided to leave the Splendid Alliance. The alliance leader is surly and will kill us one by one sooner or later. If you are willing, please leave with me and protect their mother and son. Both King Qing and the alliance leader are cruel and ruthless. I can't bear to see the late king die in the hands of those ambitious people."

The two middle-aged men looked at each other, and the bearded man asked: "Brother, what should we do with these children?"

Gu Ning said painfully: "The alliance leader's methods are cruel, I can only try to save them. You take the king, mother and son and leave first. I will go to the dispersal and find a way to rescue Yan'er and Bao'er. As for Ying'er, I'm afraid It’s impossible to save him.”

The middle-aged man with eagle eyes and thin lips sighed: "I stayed in the Jinxiu Alliance because of the brotherhood with my eldest brother. Otherwise, how could Huo Jicheng, despite his powerful methods, motivate me? Since my eldest brother has decided to join the Jinxiu Alliance. Naturally, I have no objection to the end of all ties. Are you willing to leave with us?" The last sentence was to ask Ms. Qi. Ms. Qi felt uneasy. Although these people originally wanted to kill her, it seemed that they were not evil people. In fact, She had no confidence in Prince Qing, and if she didn't agree, she was afraid that this seemingly ruthless man would kill her mother and son, so Qi quickly nodded and said, "I'll leave my mother and son to a few knights."

The big man with the beard said: "Brother, you and I will go to break up the customs. Let Lao Zhang take their mother and son away first." Gu Ning was grateful in his heart. Among the three of them, this big man was the most skilled in terms of martial arts. He was the best among the Splendid Alliance. As one of the top masters, with him by his side, the chances of rescuing a few children are much greater.

The middle-aged man with eagle eyes and thin lips frowned and said: "Brother, although the third brother is good at martial arts, he has a rough temper. He needs to rely on scheming and means to save people. It's better for me to do it. Moreover, many brothers in the alliance have been taught by my brother. Grace, brother can ask them to hide the news first, so we still have a good chance of rescuing a few nephews."

Gu Ning knew that although his second brother Zhang Han was a little bit vicious, he was also very scheming and resourceful. If he hadn't been the only one in his eyes, with his talent, he would have been reused by Huo Jicheng, and his plan would be inevitable. It has a higher chance of success, so he bowed to the ground and said: "Thank you brother for helping me." Zhang Han smiled and said: "Thank you for nothing. If it weren't for the elder brother who saved my life, I'm afraid there would be no such person as Zhang Han in the world." , and to be honest, I am tired of this kind of life. Being able to live in seclusion in the countryside is better than being precarious. I built a secret village two years ago. This time we will go there to farm and hunt, so we can live a leisurely life. Is it very good?"

Gu Ning sighed: "Just by looking at King Qing's behavior, we know that he is not sincere in helping us to restore the Shu Kingdom. Leader Huo is ambitious and has no hope of restoring the country. However, we can save the blood of the former king and make the ancestors worship the ancestors." You have fulfilled your duty of loyalty.”

When Mrs. Qi heard this, she really felt relieved. She was a woman who knew how to advance and retreat. It was not her intention to become a puppet supported by others. If she could live in seclusion in the countryside with her son, she would be satisfied, but she still had feelings for these people. He had doubts and did not dare to reveal what he was thinking, so he remained silent. At that moment, He Yun took Qi's mother and son and escaped from the palace with the help of several close disciples and Jinxiu League disciples who didn't know the truth, while Gu Ning and Zhang Han went straight to Sanguan. In fact, although these three people tried hard to cover it up, how could such a big thing be hidden from so many eyes and ears? However, after the three people left, there were naturally people who helped them erase the traces and conceal the news, but these were not what the three people could know. .
