Sometimes people are such strange creatures. They don't believe what they see openly, but they believe ten percent of what they spy on in private. And Qin Jiyan wanted to take advantage of people's psychology to dig a big hole for Bei Qi.
People jump.
On the snow-capped mountains, the secret guards were ready. They only waited for the Northern Qi people to step into Zhilingchuan to make them understand what it meant to dig a hole and bury themselves.
It was night, Gu Qiancheng was cooking broth to feed the ferrets, Qin Jiyan sat next to her, looking at her with soft eyes, and occasionally glanced at the ferret in her hand.
For a moment, Qin Jiyan was thinking, if what Gu Qiancheng was holding was not a ferret, but a child, their child, would this be considered the most beautiful and happiest scene?
It should be... because that picture, just thinking about it, made him feel full of happiness, just like before he was five years old, when his father, king, and mother were still there.
At that time, no matter how big the storm was outside, at home they were just an ordinary family of three, no different from anyone else. Even though his mother and concubine were not close to him, his father gave him the best of everything.
Qin Jiyan's thoughts drifted further and further away, and this time he changed his arms to Gu Qiancheng, holding the ferret, looking at him, guarding him...
At the foot of the snow-capped mountains, ten miles away from Zhilingchuan, the Northern Qi people and the Feng family army camped there.
The Feng family army sent people to take turns on duty, each busy with their own work, while those who rested sat around a dozen fires, grilled barbecue, and chatted. A group of people gathered together to dispel the coldness and loneliness of winter nights.
Of course, Feng Yuqian and the military advisor would not be present on such an occasion. It is not that they do not enjoy themselves with the people, but when they appear, the scene will become awkward and the atmosphere will not be so lively. Therefore, Feng Yuqian and the military advisor never
Come out and cause trouble.
Feng Yuqian and the military advisor would spend most of the night in the commander's camp, discussing business matters. Not only the Feng family army, but also the people of Northern Qi were used to this.
After cooking some simple pieces of boiled meat and arranging the guards, the camp returned to quiet, and everyone began to rest to refresh themselves and prepare for tomorrow's trip.
At night, a dark shadow came to the military counselor's camp, followed by several people. These people did not go in, but hid in the darkness.
"Military advisor, His Highness has received news that he has passed Zhilingchuan. We will successfully cross Zhilingchuan tomorrow and meet up with His Highness Neng." This was Feng Yuqian's voice.
"Your Highness is finally safe, Dashan." This was the voice of the military advisor.
"His Royal Highness sent someone to send news that there will be an ambush in Zhilingchuan from Northern Qi. He told us to be careful and not to be fooled by the Northern Qi people. It is best to go together with the Northern Qi people." Feng Yuqian continued.
"The terrain of Zhilingchuan River is unique. There are rolling snow-capped mountains on both sides. Avalanches often occur. Although the trail in the middle will not be buried, heavy snow will fall down every time an avalanche occurs, and people will be hit by snow chunks, causing countless casualties." The military advisor sighed sadly.
, both inside and outside the words are worries.
"Military advisor, don't worry. Our lives are nothing. As long as His Highness is safe, His Highness has already passed through Zhilingchuan. Even if we are in danger, it will be fine. It doesn't matter if we die to protect His Highness." Feng Yuqian
His voice rose involuntarily, and the military advisor hurriedly asked him to lower his voice.
Next, the two discussed how to march tomorrow, and never mentioned His Highness Qin's affairs.
Half an hour later, Feng Yuqian returned from the military advisor's camp. The spies followed quietly, and at the same time, someone else walked towards the other end.
Feng Yuqian returned to the camp and went to bed, but to the dismay of the Northern Qi soldiers, they couldn't sleep at all after receiving the news.
"King Qin really crossed Zhilingchuan?" How is this possible? They didn't receive any news at all.
"As early as half a month ago, we arranged for people to guard Zhilingchuan. King Qin is going to pass through Zhilingchuan. We will definitely receive the news."
"Maybe the King of Qin didn't go to Zhilingchuan, but took a detour."
"It's impossible. There are more people ambush on that road. As soon as King Qin appears, there will be only a dead end. It is impossible to leave quietly."
"Could it be that the Daqin people lied to us?"
"It is possible that Da Qin must know that we sent people to monitor him. I always feel that what they said today seems to be deliberately told to us."
The generals of the Northern Qi Dynasty did not dare to make a decision for a while, because the bloody lesson last time made them understand that whether King Qin's words were true or false could not be inferred by common sense. When they thought it could not be true, King Qin told them with actions.
What you say is true.
When they thought this might be true, they might have been sold by King Qin.
"What did the people in Zhilingchuan say?" General Zeng thought for a while and decided to ask a few more questions to avoid the situation last time and King Qin slipping away under their noses.
"Those who are buried in Zhilingchuan can be sure that King Qin has never appeared." In the corner, a man with eagle eyes said, and as soon as he finished speaking, an announcement sounded outside the door.
"Come in."
The person who came was wearing a soldier's armor, which didn't look unusual, but what he said when he came in made everyone understand that this person was no ordinary soldier.
"I just received news that there are traces of someone haunting the snowy mountains. A man and a woman. Initially, they must be King Qin."
"What? King Qin is on the snowy mountain? He has never crossed Zhilingchuan?" General Zeng repeated nervously, and the visitor nodded: "Yes."
"What a risk, I almost got cheated."
"The people of Great Qin are so cunning. They must have known that we had an ambush on Zhilingchuan, so they used a trick to make us believe that the King of Qin had passed Zhilingchuan. When the Feng family army passed by, we would definitely ambush them. When the time comes, we would have
The preparations made were exposed, and it was too late to prepare any more. King Qin only needed to sacrifice a few thousand soldiers to cross Zhilingchuan safely."
There is never a shortage of smart people in this world.
"In this way, after all our hard work, we can only kill a few soldiers in the end, but King Qin can pass safely."
"What's the news from Feng Yuqian?" As soon as General Zeng spoke, someone answered: "They must have leaked it to us on purpose so that we could be angry and use the ambush on them tomorrow."
"This is just our speculation. It is difficult to determine whether it is true or not." Someone said very rationally.
"Whether it is true or not, it is a fact that the King of Qin has not passed through Zhilingchuan yet. The arrangements we made in Zhilingchuan are just to kill the King of Qin. What's the point of killing only a few big soldiers after all the hard work."
"This is reasonable. We must not fall into Great Qin's plan and let them exchange thousands of soldiers for the life of King Qin."
The Northern Qi people talked to each other, and they all insisted that this was a conspiracy of the Qin Dynasty. The purpose was to use the Feng Family Army to lure their people buried in the dark to come out of their own accord, so as to open a way for the King of Qin, and they...
Never cooperate!
"Wait, let's wait at Zhilingchuan. I don't believe that King Qin can hide in the snowy mountains all the time, hiding from me in Northern Qi."
"This is my territory in Northern Qi. I want to see who can stop it first."
The people of Northern Qi insisted that King Qin would cross Zhilingchuan sooner or later. They would rather wait for the rabbit than throw away the watermelon and pick up sesame seeds. Compared with King Qin, the Feng family's army of several thousand people could only squeeze their teeth. If there was no news from King Qin, thousands of Phoenix would be killed.
The family army has also made a great contribution, but now...
