Zhaoguan, two cliffs facing each other on the west side of Yanshan Mountain, one man can guard the pass and ten thousand can not open it. Because the pass was built to protect it, it has since become a battleground for military strategists. A long time ago, it was the border between Chu and Wu. There is a legend.
The story is about Wu Zixu who passed Zhaoguan and became worried all night long.
The State of Wu has long been submerged in the torrent of history. Although Zhaoguan is not as prominent as it once was as a military center, there is no doubt that the State of Chu has also set up a strong garrison here.
Now, Long Zhan led 15,000 horsemen to chase after Xingye, but they were still one step behind. When they came, they only saw chaos and the tragic scene of Zhaoguan with ten rooms and nine empty rooms.
He ordered his soldiers to clean up the mess first, and he held the gun tightly in his hand and cursed: "Yue people, you really deserve to die! You poisoned another city! The Yue people have been hiding in the mountains for more than ten years, and this woman Nan Yan has never been
How can you know so much about the situation in our country of Chu if you haven’t heard about it?”
Feng Tu was already impatient with this kind of chasing after others, so he urged Long Zhan: "If we continue to chase their traces like this, it will be in vain. General Long, you are the commander, do you have any plans?"
?”
Long Zhan thought carefully for a long time, watching the gangsters who caused chaos due to lack of order being whipped and driven away by the soldiers, and he had an idea in his mind.
"Don't these remnants of Baiyue want to avenge the former Yue people? Okay~ Then I'll give them a chance." He summoned messengers with a wave of his hand, "Pass this order to my general and send people to each city to guard Yue.
The slaves gathered together and spread the news that if Nan Yan does not come to Zhaoguan to surrender, I will kill a thousand or ten thousand people until all the people in the Chu Kingdom are killed!"
Feng Tu clapped his hands and exclaimed, "The general has a good plan. Nan Yan wants to avenge his Yue comrades, so I will kill her openly and openly. I don't believe she can remain indifferent."
Following Long Zhan's order, the remaining Yue people on this land were captured and sent to Zhaoguan regardless of the reason. Among the soldiers who were transferred to transport grain, a large number of Yue people were also forcibly transferred. The Chu people in Zhaoguan
The army increased its troops by nearly 30,000 and guarded nearly 10,000 Yue people.
The terrain of Zhaoguan was taken advantage of by Long Zhan. He ordered his people to set up a large pot at the top of the two cliffs. After releasing the news, he threw the Yue people in and cooked them one by one. Quan Dang surrendered himself to Nanyan.
It used to be a way to kill time every day.
"Chief, I'm going to cut up Long Zhan! I'm going to kill all the Long clan!"
"Chief, let us go, our Yue compatriots cannot die in vain~"
"Ah~Dragon War~"
All the Yue people couldn't bear it and wanted to return to Zhaoguan, but Nan Yan, as the leader, remained silent.
"Chief, what are you talking about? Are we just going to sit back and watch Long Zhan and that beast cook and kill our compatriots one by one?"
Buxie couldn't help it any longer. He rushed forward with both hands and wanted to grab Yan Lingji and question her, but Huang Jie's scabbard blocked his hand twice.
Huang Jie shouted sternly: "Shut up! We are all Yue people, and it will not be easy for anyone. Long Zhan has arranged everything in Zhaoguan, and is waiting for us to die."
Without hesitation, he pointed at Yan Lingji and screamed with a trembling voice, "It is better to die than to watch your compatriots die! Nan Yan, speak up!"
Wu Zhong, Yinhuan and others were all silent, but they all hoped that Nan Yan would come up with a solution instead of everyone being helpless in such a manic and sad atmosphere.
Yan Lingji scanned everyone's expressions one by one, and finally her eyes rested on Buxie, "This is the choice you must learn to face when you step into the Central Plains. You should have such an awareness from the moment you step out of the mountains and forests.
If the Dragon War Zone is forced to do anything, everyone will be confused and lose their bearings, and we won't be able to go far."
"It's just? You said this is just... the lives of nearly ten thousand compatriots, what are you saying - ah~"
While Buxie was retorting with red eyes, Yan Lingji held it with one hand, and Buxie's body was tied up with a match rope, and it was so hot that it emitted green smoke.
She slowly withdrew her hand. The other person's clothes were burned to tatters, and the injured part of the skin was scorched yellow. Although the flames were gone, the whole person still couldn't curl up, gasping for air.
"Thank you, thank you, chief, for sparing my life..." In the endless pain, Buxie's mind finally remembered how cruel Nan Yan was before he became the leader.
Yan Lingji ignored him and asked the others: "The lives of the nearly ten thousand Yue people who are struggling to survive in the humble state of Chu, and those of us who bear the hope of the tribe, which one is more important?"
Huang Jie's expression changed, and he stumbled in disbelief and said, "Chief, are we really, really going to give up on them?"
"It is unwise to do something you know cannot be done."
No one responded to Yan Lingji's words.
"Long Zhan uses these methods to force us into a trap. We, two thousand people, want to break through the current Zhaoguan Pass, but we can't even fill a single trench with our lives. So, what can we do?"
"I understand, leader..." Huang Jie responded sadly, barely breaking the silence.
When Yan Lingji saw that the fire was about to get close, her eyes finally turned fierce and she stood up with great momentum, "When you know you can't do something but do it, you have enough courage. We must go to Zhaoguan."
"What?! Chief, are you serious!"
"Go to Zhaoguan?!"
"Seriously want to go?!"
All the leaders blurted out in surprise, looking at her with bright eyes.
"Actually, you all know that this is a dead end, but your anger and hatred drive you to get into it even if it is a dead end. As the leader of the Yue people, this is unqualified.
Anger and hatred may give us strength, but they can blind us and cause greater pain."
Her lesson made several leaders feel ashamed, and they knew how to reflect on what would be the final outcome if they really rushed to Zhaoguan so recklessly...
Yan Lingji began to reveal her plan, "Do you still remember that I asked you to keep the Qu family alive? The meaning of their survival is to cope with the current situation."
Huang Jie's eyes lit up, "Are those trashes to cope with this situation?"
Yinhuan looked at her with incredible admiration, "Chief, have you expected that the enemy would have such a method?"
"We are elite guerrillas, and we are only dedicated to revenge and killing. If the enemy wants to encircle and suppress us, we can only lure and annihilate them. Such methods are not unusual at all in the war in the Central Plains."
Yan Lingji just told the story normally, which made Yue people deeply moved.
"No wonder people from the Central Plains are always said to be sinister and vicious. This kind of method is just, hiss~"
As soon as the atmosphere improved, she quickly poured down a basin of ice water, "Let me explain in advance, we cannot save the Yue compatriots who were used as bait. The gap in strength between the enemy and ourselves is too great. If we go to attack Zhaoguan, it will be meaningless.
Die."
"Then what else are we going to do in Zhaoguan?"
"Yeah, if we can't save people, we still go..."
The air became scorching, and Yan Lingji's eyes began to reveal burning flames. The fire bird's wings rose into the sky, her sword pointed at Zhaoguan, and her voice shook the night sky: "In a deadlock, pick up the broken dignity of Yue people."
, this is the meaning of our going to Zhaoguan. To tell all the Yue people that they still have hope; to tell all those who bully the Yue people that their nightmare is coming!"
