It was already late at night, and the capitals of the other three countries on the mainland were brightly lit and crowded, but in Yongdu, the streets were nowhere to be crowded. Except for a few places, the entire capital was completely trapped in darkness. This city, which was rough but atmospheric during the day, had already sunk into the night.

In the palace city, the prince Ma Chao, who had a pale face and a sick face, was standing in front of the emperor with a radiant look at the moment.

"Most of the 100,000 border troops in the south have been controlled by Bian Wushuang, but a group of former senior generals led by Yang Zhi still refused to surrender. Moreover, these people cannot make them bow their heads, so they must be killed." Ma Chao's tone was filled with a strong murderous aura, "Bian Wushuang cannot kill the general in front of the formation, but you can."

"Father, my son is just worried that Yang Zhi has been in the border army for a long time. When he is about to fight, will the morale of the army be fluctuated?" Ma Yue was a little worried.

"Ship Li said something before he went there, do you still remember?" Ma Chao asked with a sneer.

"I wonder what my father said? Li Shuailin said a lot before he went there."

"He said that the Qin Dynasty is still the world of the Ma family, and the subjects of the world recognize it as the banner of the Ma family." Ma Chao raised his lips, "So, let it go. Kill Yang Zhi and others, and then you will command the battle on behalf of me in Zhaoying Gorge. Of course, you don't know much about war, but as long as you appear on the top of the city, it will be enough to show my attitude and let the 100,000 border troops in the south understand my intentions. Deng Hong and the others want to force me to change their generals in the battle and completely take down the Bian family. If they cross the boundary, they must be a wake-up call."

"I know how to do it." Ma Yue nodded.

"Peace in the Garden!" The emperor turned around and called to the darkness of the hall. With his call, an old man with a thin figure and a knife on his back appeared in front of the two of them like a ghost.

"Yuan Gong is with you."

"Father, Yuan Gongfeng is responsible for the security of the entire palace, and there are still a few good players under his command." Ma Chao said in surprise.

"No need, you, I, are the master." Ma Yue laughed, "I don't need protection. No one can threaten me in Yongdu City, but it's different in Zhaoying Gorge. An Ruhai is a good player at the top of the ninth level. Although we have a Bian Wushuang, it's not enough. Take the garden to worship him and let An Ruhai know that the Luoying Mountains are not his world."

"Then there will be a Laoyuan offering sacrifice." Ma Chao turned his head and bowed to the Yuanyuan offering sacrifice.

The worshipper behind the emperor bowed slightly to signal.

"I think Deng Hong will not miss this opportunity, so they will definitely take action. You must make arrangements ahead and catch all these guys with ulterior motives in one go." Ma Yue reminded.

"Son understand."

Ma Yue bent down and bowed, turned around and left with great strides. Yuan Gongfeng said nothing, followed Ma Yue tightly toward the hall.

"It's a good thing that Li Shuai killed Deng Fang." The emperor looked at the empty hall and sighed silently. Deng Fangruo was there, but I was afraid that Yongdu was already the world of Deng's family at this moment, and he could only be a ruler in the palace.

In the palace, I couldn't sleep at night. Similarly, in Yongdu City, another place represents the highest power center of Qin. Kaiping Palace was also a gathering of heroes. For Deng, this was an opportunity to completely eliminate the Bian's power and lift the Bian from the commander of the southern border army. Then almost all the soldiers and horses of Qin were put into Deng's bag. Deng could show his skills happily and completely lose his bonds.

Deng Hong was named King Kaiping and fully controlled the affairs of the Qin Dynasty. However, since he entered Yongdu, the purge of Bian clan did not go smoothly. First, he lived in the palace and seemed to be silent about political affairs suddenly took action. The prince took over the intelligence organization Sha Ant. Although Deng Hong was prepared for a long time, Dai Shulun, the former deputy commander of the Sha Ant, led some of the backbone forces of the sand ant to disappear in advance, which saved some of the intelligence forces for the Deng clan, but losing Deng Fang was still an unbearable weight for the Deng clan.

Whether it is Deng Hong or Deng Pu, they are good at military affairs and clumsy in political struggles. They often cannot see through the ghost tricks between civil servants in the court. In this war without gunpowder, they often fall into the trap of the other party. When they wake up, they are already overwhelmed. Secondly, Bian has been in Yongdu for many years and has mixed forces. From court officials to low-level butchers, a very strict net also restricts Deng's hands and feet. Although Bian has collapsed now and there are holes in this big net, it is still far from the time to collapse.

The effect of Li Zhi killing Deng Fang before his death finally slowly emerged at this time. Although Deng took control of the power, the emperor's control over the court was much stronger than before.

The emperor and Bian stood together without hesitation, which made Deng Hong quite reluctant. A proposal often dragged on for a long time but could not be resolved.

Only by completely knocking down Deng’s family can these trips and ropes be removed. This is the consensus of Deng’s family.

"Prince, this is a rare opportunity." Jin Shizhao, the Minister of War, looked lit up. He was the first senior official promoted to the court after Deng Hong entered the court, and he was also the absolute iron-kick of Deng's family.

"Snatching power in front of the army is an unprecedented big move." Deng Hong hesitated, "In fact, Bian Wushuang is right, that is, he must guard Zhaoying Gorge. When the enemy is in front of him, if there is a major change in the army, he is afraid that the morale of the army will be fluctuating, which is not conducive to the war."

"Prince, if you keep breaking down, you will suffer the chaos. Bian Wushuang is a man with means. He has only been to the southern border army for half a year, but he has conquered many people. Deng's influence in the southern border army is gradually decreasing. If Bian Wushuang wins victory in Zhaoying Gorge and defends this node, his prestige in the army will increase. His prestige will increase, which means that Deng's influence in the southern border army will decrease, one by one, and one by one. Its intention is self-evident. As time goes by, Bian Wushuang stands firmly.

Heels, if the prince wants to attack again, there will be no chance." Dai Shulun advised. "You must be cruel when it should be cruel. You must not be indecisive at this time! Yang Zhi has been following General Deng for a long time and has great experience in fighting in the mountains. This time, Yang Zhi retreated without fighting at Jingjing Pass, and was under great pressure. Although he did not seek the prince's opinions before doing this and obtained the prince's consent, there is no doubt that he is loyal to the prince, and this move also forces the prince to take action."

"I just annoyed him to make his own decisions. If he was guarding Jingjing Pass, my back would be harder than the court." Deng Hong said a little angrily.

"With that being said, if Yang Zhi fights to death at Jingjing Pass, all the prince's elites will be killed, and he will hurt the prince's soldiers' hearts! At this time, Yang Zhi must be given the greatest support. As long as Yang Zhi obtains command, it is not a problem to guard Zhaoying Gorge. What matters is the result, not the process, isn't it?"

Deng Hong went back and forth in the house for several circles, and finally made up his mind, "Okay, I will write a few letters to Zhaoyingxia myself. Shulun, you go there yourself and make proper arrangements, so that the soldiers in the army can help Yang Zhi to take over, seize military power first, and then win the Battle of Zhaoyingxia, then we will take the initiative."

"The prince is a great move." Jin Shizhao said happily: "After this battle, the Bian family will never have a chance to stand out. At that time, whether in the army or in the court, the forces against the prince will be disintegrated. And we can also revive the prestige of the Great Qin under the leadership of the prince. Destroy Chu and Ming, and compete with Qi for hegemony. My Great Qin warriors are the best in the world, but they have been imprisoned in this remote and cold west for many years. It is time for us to go out and fight."

Zhaoying Gorge, the base camp of the Qin border army, is also the last bottom line of Qin demarcated by Bian Wushuang. When retreating here, the Qin army will not take a step back. On the second day after Bian Wenzhong led 20,000 aid to the Zhaoying Gorge camp and began to strengthen defense, Yang Zhi led more than 10,000 soldiers who retreated from the front line to set up a camp on the General Mountain on the right side of Zhaoying Gorge. On the surface, all these arrangements were fine. The two camps, one on the left and one on the right, were supporting each other, but in fact, both sides did not trust each other.

When Yang Zhi left Jingjing Pass, he had only seven or eight thousand people under his command. He repeatedly dispersed his troops into various military camps, and then retreated little by little. When he finally reached Zhaoyingxia Camp, his subordinates increased instead of reducing, but instead expanded to more than 10,000 people.

Just ten days after the Qin army retreated to Zhaoying Gorge, An Ruhai's Chu army arrived as scheduled. Under the tactical style formulated before the scissors left, the Chu army jumped forward, throwing one Qin army camp after another behind, interspersed, divided, and then ate. When they completed all this, the entire army naturally gathered together like the previous plan and rushed towards the last fortress of the Qin army in the Luoying Mountains.

Five years ago, the Qin army set out from here and swallowed the Western Army of Chu in one bite. Five years later, the feng shui changed, but the Chu army came back.
