Because this matter is very important, King Qin did not dare to be careless, so he called the commander of the Ouchi guards over and whispered to him to pay close attention to Gonggong Ma's every move, and not to startle the snake!

The commander answered and went out, but when he went out, Ma Gonggong was still standing in the corridor in the distance, like a sculpture, looking at the southwest sky.

King Qin looked at the generals at this time and said, "Now that the plan has been decided, you should discuss it carefully and see how to implement it." ”

The generals responded.

King Qin looked at Qu Nian and said, "You come with me!" After speaking, he didn't care whether he agreed or not, so he led him to the inner room!

Entering the inner room, the room suddenly fell silent. King Qin turned to face him and said, "What's going on? Why do you want Gonggong Ma to know about this? Haven't you always been suspicious of him?"

Qu Nian said: "I suspect him, does Ma Gonggong know?"

King Qin was stunned: "I don't know." Because there is no conclusive evidence, and I believe your words, he has not been alarmed, and it is the same as before. ”

Qu Nian said: "That's good!"

King Qin said, "Then what do you mean? Why do you want him to know?"

Qu Nian said: "I just deliberately let him know! Because this is fake news!"

King Qin exclaimed, "Fake news, are you arranging this plan fake?"

Qu Nian said: "Is my father serious?"

King Qin's eyes widened and he said, "How is this possible? You can just hold back a fake news and make me and so many generals believe it to be true? The key is that I think this idea is good." ”

Qu Nian said with a smile: "Since my father and the generals think that this idea is good, then I believe that He Zaiye will definitely believe it when he gets this news." ”

King Qin perked up and said, "Do you have a more brilliant idea?"

Qu Nian said: "I can't talk about it, but it's definitely a little better than the current idea." At present, this plan is the next step, and the risk is too great, even if he wins the war, he will still lose his troops and generals, and he will no longer have the ability to turn back to face Changhuajun and Bashu! Moreover, even if he can win this war, it will be a miserable victory, and the Qin State will definitely be greatly damaged. ”

These words entered the heart of King Qin, and King Qin hurriedly nodded and said: "Yes, yes, this is indeed the next strategy, and it is indeed a miserable victory if we win, after this battle, even if we win, the Qin State will definitely be crumbling, and then anyone can come to bully us, not to mention the Six Kingdoms of Shandong, it is estimated that the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao and Wei will be able to jump outside the Hangu Pass." But we can't think of a better way, so we can only choose the lesser of two evils! Since you have a better way, hurry up and let my father hear it, my father is in a hurry!"

Qu Nian nodded, and told him his other plan in detail.

After hearing this, King Qin's eyes lit up, patted him on the shoulder, laughed, and said, "Qu Nian, you are worthy of being the son of a widow, and you have not disappointed the widow." ”

Qu Nian smiled: "Are you praising me? or are you praising yourself?"

King Qin said with a smile: "It's all praised, it means that it is my good seed that can give birth to such an excellent son as you." After a pause, he said: "I'm worried now, if Gonggong Ma doesn't rebel, won't this fake news not reach He Zaiye's ears?"

Qu Nian said: "Father, you just put a hundred hearts, He Zaiye has been working in the court for so many years, and the power has penetrated the entire Qin State and the opposition, as far as those generals outside, at least one-third of them have taken refuge in He Zaiye, even if Ma Gonggong doesn't say it, they will say it, but there are too many people outside, I can't monitor them one by one, and it is convenient to monitor without Ma Gonggong." ”

If he had changed his mind, King Qin would have scolded him again, saying that he was too suspicious and sick, and the generals outside were all his henchmen, but now he had no confidence, his face was worried, and he said, "Is it true that so many people have rebelled?"

Qu Nian nodded and said, "It should be about the same!" So we must choose a reliable general for this operation." ”

King Qin said, "Who do you think is more reliable?"

Qu Nian said: "I'm not familiar with the people outside, I haven't said anything, how do I know that they are unreliable? But I don't seem to see Xie Changhong?

King Qin said: "I didn't let him come. Seeing him have a headache, I want to cut off his head, but it's a pity that you killed the prince, and I didn't punish you for being the murderer, and I couldn't punish him even more. ”

Qu Nian said: "Father, the crown prince has been dead for so long, don't worry about it anymore, anyway, you have so many sons, it doesn't matter if there is one more or less, at that time, you sent me to Qi State, didn't you also plan for me to die in Linzi? ”

King Qin sighed: "I know that when I sent you to Linzi, this matter was a thorn in your heart, don't you always mention it, isn't my father trying to make up for you now?"

Qu Nian spread his hands and said, "Is there such a way to make up for it? If I don't come back, I can still be free, and be a rich man on the rich side, and now that I'm back, my life is in my hands." ”

King Qin said: "Don't worry, as long as you help me win this battle this time, you will be the crown prince, and no one in the Qin Kingdom will be unconvinced." ”

Qu Nian sighed: "But I'm not interested in the position of the crown prince, but if you are really reluctant, I will make it difficult for me." ”

King Qin glared at him and said, "It's not like me at all if you get cheap and sell well." But to be honest, staying with you feels like a father and son, unlike staying with other children, which is the relationship between a monarch and a minister. ”

Qu Nian said: "That's because I don't have a tutor and don't know how to be polite." ”

King Qin sighed: "I don't blame you for this. It's good to be like you, too many etiquette will give birth!"

Qu Nian smiled and said, "Then do you plan to use Xie Changhong?"

King Qin nodded and said, "Since you are optimistic about him, then use him!" After a pause, he said, "What about the generals outside? Since your plan is fake, do you still want to implement it?"

Qu Nian nodded and said: "Yes, the troops should be transferred according to the plan, and the 300,000 soldiers and horses on the side of Hangu Pass will now order them to pull out the camp and rush over in the direction of Xianyang first, so as to paralyze He Zaiye!"

King Qin nodded and said, "That's okay!"

With that, he walked out of the inner room. The generals outside were still discussing how to transfer troops, which part to transfer, and how to defend the remaining troops after they were transferred. If this kind of thing is handed over to Qu Nian to do, it will definitely be a big head!

King Qin was in a much better mood because he saw hope, and he no longer scolded these generals for being rice buckets, but patiently discussed with them slowly!

About two hours later, the commander of the inner guard came, and the king of Qin brought him into the inner room again, and Qu Nian also followed!

As soon as he closed the door, King Qin asked, "How is it?"

The commander of the guards said: "Back to the king, Ma Gonggong is indeed suspicious, an hour ago, he secretly went back, and then sent a little eunuch out of the city, I sent someone to follow him, the little eunuch entered a remote house, and after a while, there was a blue eagle in the house rushed out of the sky and flew to the north. Because the king said that I should not be obstructed, I did not order the eagle to be shot down!"

King Qin's face was a little excited, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad, so he nodded his head and said, "You did a good job!"

The commander of the guards said, "Your Majesty, what should we do now?

King Qin turned his head to look at Qu Nian and said, "Is there still any use value for Gonggong Ma now?"

Qu Nian said: "No!"

King Qin nodded, then looked at the commander and said: "Don't move that house for the time being, so as not to startle the snake, you go and arrest Gonggong Ma and that little eunuch now, remember, you must be arrested secretly, don't let anyone know, if they resist, kill them." ”

The commander replied: "My subordinates will do it!" After speaking, he retreated and closed the door again!

King Qin sighed at this time and said: "Qu Nian, I now feel that there is no one around me who can be trusted, I feel that everyone wants to betray me, Ma Gonggong has followed me for decades, served me for decades, and is known as the master and servant, but I treat him well, he is just like my shadow, I have never treated him badly! I really didn't expect that even he would betray me, do you say that there are still people in this world that I dare to believe?"

Qu Nian said: "Father, although you say that you are not suspicious of employing people, and you don't need to be suspicious, but the heart of guarding against people is indispensable!"

King Qin sighed: "Blood is still thicker than water! Although you and my father and son have not seen each other for many years, and there is still a gap between them, I still believe in you very much, after all, you are my son!"

Qu Nian said in his heart, if you knew that I was caught on the way to escape, you probably wouldn't think like this. "That's natural!"

King Qin said: "It's just that I can't figure it out, why did Ma Gonggong betray the widow? He is a eunuch, I gave him everything he can have, what else does he want?"

Qu Nian said: "The eunuch's heart is more distorted, and it is different from normal people's thoughts, if my father can't figure it out, you can ask him when he is okay at night, and the doubts in his heart will definitely be solved!"

King Qin nodded and said, "As long as he doesn't die." I really have to ask him, or I won't be able to let go of it for the rest of my life. ”

The two walked out of the inner room again, after the fierce discussion of the generals, the troop transfer plan has basically been determined, see the king of Qin come out, a general as a representative, and they discussed the troop transfer plan to report to the king of Qin, the king of Qin listened to it very satisfied, so let them go to the implementation, and let them hurry up, tonight to pass the news to the ministry!

After these generals left, the king of Qin called another eunuch in and ordered: "Summons Xie Changhong to enter the official!"

The eunuch answered, and withdrew!
