When Xie Changhong came to the palace, it was already dark. King Qin and Qu Nian were waiting for him in the Shuide Palace, during which Qu Nian kept staring at the sand table, secretly figuring out, and said a few words to King Qin from time to time.

Xie Changhong entered the hall and performed the courtesy of the monarch and ministers.

King Qin said: "You know everything that happened today, right?"

Xie Changhong nodded and said, "The minister heard about it, He Zaiye rebelled!"

King Qin nodded and said, "It's good to know, do you know why the widow didn't call you over today?"

Xie Changhong said: "The minister doesn't know! It may be that the minister did something wrong and made the king angry!"

King Qin said: "On the contrary, the widow will call you over to discuss matters alone because he values you and believes in you!"

After hearing these hypocritical words, Xie Changhong looked excited, hugged his fists and said: "Thank you for the king's trust, even if the minister is broken and his liver and brain are ruined, he will never live up to the king's high expectations, let alone let the traitor step into Xianyang." ”

Qu Nian felt that his father still had a set of people's hearts, obviously the most hated person, but in a blink of an eye, he became the person he trusted the most, it seems that his father is not as mediocre as he imagined.

King Qin said at this time: "Xianyang doesn't need you to guard it, Xianyang has already given up!"

Xie Changhong couldn't believe his ears, and after a long time of reminiscing, he said, "Let it go...... Gave up?"

King Qin nodded, beckoned again, and when Xie Changhong walked over, King Qin pointed to the sand table and said, "See for yourself." ”

Xie Changhong glanced at it and said, "Although they have the situation of encircling Xianyang, Xianyang can't give up! This is the foundation of the country!"

King Qin said: "Then do you have a better way?"

Xie Changhong glanced at it and said, "Since Childe is here, I believe Childe has already come up with a better way!"

King Qin said: "You seem to believe in Gongzi very much!"

Xie Changhong nodded and said, "The minister has already seen the methods of the prince in the Lechuan River Valley. ”

King Qin said: "But the idea of giving up Xianyang is from Gongzi!"

Xie Changhong was slightly stunned and said, "Since this is the idea of the son, it must have a deep meaning." ”

King Qin said: "The widow said to give up Xianyang, you said that you must not, but the son said to give up Xianyang, you said that there must be a deep meaning." It seems that in the minds of the people here, the status of the son is higher than that of the widow!"

Xie Changhong was startled, quickly knelt on the ground, and said hurriedly: "The minister never meant this." ”

King Qin smiled and said, "Get up, don't be nervous, I'm just joking with you." Qu Nian is the son of a widow, you are so optimistic about him, and the widow is also happier. ”

Xie Changhong said in his heart, when the is it? The country is almost gone, do you still have the heart to joke? Then he stood up.

Although King Qin is about to lose his country, he seems to be in a good mood, or he is usually too lonely in the palace and no one speaks, so he is happy to be a docent now, and then he told him about Qu Nian's vacation plan. After speaking, he said, "How do you feel about this plan?"

Xie Changhong's face was solemn, he frowned and thought for a while, then looked at the sand table again, and said: "Although this plan is risky, there is no way to do it, but we can also try it! As long as our speed is fast enough, after defeating He Zaiye, there should still be time to return to Xianyang!"

King Qin nodded and said, "Your analysis is correct! But this plan is fake. ”

Xie Changhong exclaimed: "Fake?"

King Qin turned to Qu Nian again and said, "You come and tell him." ”

Qu Nian nodded and said: "This plan can only be said to be half-false and half-true, the first half is true, and now the various ministries have begun to dispatch people and horses to help Xianyang, but this is just to paralyze He Zaiye, our real intention is to encircle Wei and save Zhao." ”

Xie Changhong was stunned and said: "Siege Wei to save Zhao? Zhao and Wei also joined the war?"

Qu Nian said: "I'm just making an analogy! It has nothing to do with those two countries! I mean, if He Zaiye gets our current plan, he will definitely gather his troops!" If there is no mistake, after He Zaiye gathers his troops, he will definitely station his troops and horses on the line of Dayongling, and then wait for work, and after Changhuajun and Bashu State break through the defense line, they will attack us back and forth, after all, the west and south are now empty in the defense line, as long as He Zaiye can hold out for a few days, he will win. ”

Xie Changhong said: "He Zaiye already knows about this plan?"

Qu Nian nodded and said, "There are too many traitors, and you have been betrayed, so my father called you over alone, but imagine how much he values you!"

Xie Changhong looked excited again, and said: "King Xie trusts, Xie Changhong will never let down the king!"

Qu Nian said: "Needless to say, as long as you make achievements on the battlefield, it will be the greatest reward to your father." ”

Xie Changhong nodded and said, "As long as the king gives me the opportunity to go to the battlefield, I will never let the king down!"

Qu Nian said: "Calling you over is to give you this opportunity, now let's talk about serious things." ”

Xie Changhong said: "Since this plan is already known, do you still need to transfer troops?"

Qu Nian said: "The ministries will immediately receive an order to rush to Xianyang overnight, and tomorrow morning, He Zaiye should get this news." ”

Xie Changhong said: "Since He Zaiye knows about this plan, he will indeed gather his troops and wait for work." If at this time, we let the 300,000 soldiers and horses of Hangu Pass not come to Xianyang, if we let them turn around and march north, He Zaiye is a rebellion after all, or mainly attack, not to mention that they have gathered soldiers and horses, there are so many passes on Dayong Ridge, he can't defend them, we can easily pass through their defense line, go around to their rear, and then attack with the defenders of Xianyang, He Zaiye will be defeated. ”

Qu Nian said: "You only guessed half right, if you can think of this, He Zaiye will definitely be able to think of it." He Zaiye's soldiers and horses stationed in Dayongling are only his vanguard, and there are reinforcements behind him, if you go around to his rear, his reinforcements rush up, just wrapping you in dumplings, and you march thousands of miles, and people are waiting for work, you may be ambushed by others. ”

Xie Changhong hesitated: "What does that son mean?"

Qu Nian said: "Now I am ready to let you be the commander of the 300,000 soldiers and horses in Hangu Pass, they are now on the way to Xianyang, you can intercept them halfway, after intercepting them, you will turn around, after passing through the Dayong Mountains, all the way to the north, Xianyang is gone, Qin is not wanted, all the way to the north!"

Xie Changhong was confused when he heard this, and said: "All the way to the north, where is that going? Luochuan is in the northwest direction!"

Qu Nian said: "You guess?"

Xie Changhong thought about it, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed, his face showed joy, and said: "I know, no wonder the prince said that this is to save Zhao from Wei Wei, what a clever plan! He Zaiye will definitely not think of it!"

Qu Nian said: "Even if he can think of it, he can't control the situation." ”

Xie Changhong nodded and said, "That's right! Gongzi alone can be worth the name of a million army, and he really deserves his reputation!"

Qu Nian hurriedly humbled himself and said, "It's not yet a victory! It's a bit too early to praise me now." ”

Xie Changhong said: "I have seen the dawn of victory. ”

Qu Nian smiled, changed his words, and said, "What do you think of this person in Wanting?"

Xie Changhong was slightly stunned and said: "Brainless! I have worked with him and have been on the battlefield together, and I still have the ability, but I am a tendon, and I don't like to speak, but I don't speak very likable, so the two of us are quite able to talk sometimes." ”

Qu Nian smiled: "Hurt each other?"

Xie Changhong smiled and said, "Almost!"

Qu Nian said: "As long as you don't hate each other, I'm going to let Wan Ting be the coach of the main attack direction, and you are responsible for the roundabout side attack, so before you leave Xianyang, you have to have a good chat with him, communicate with him, and then there will be a tacit understanding on the battlefield." ”

Xie Changhong said: "We still have a tacit understanding on the battlefield, so I will go to his house later and communicate with him well." ”

At this time, King Qin picked up a brocade box on the side of the sand table, handed it to him, and said, "This is the talisman of the 300,000 soldiers and horses in Hangu Pass, you take it first!"

Xie Changhong hurriedly knelt on the ground, with a solemn face, took the brocade box with both hands, and said, "The minister takes the order!"

King Qin said: "Now that Great Qin's hopes are placed on you alone, don't let the widow down!"

Xie Changhong said: "Please rest assured, as long as the minister still has a breath of air, he will ensure that not an inch of land is lost in the Great Qin River and Mountain!"

King Qin said: "I'm not asking you to keep a breath, but I want you to return triumphantly, you carry the hope of a country, and the widow will not allow you to fail." ”

Xie Changhong said: "The minister will never fail!"

King Qin said: "Okay, then you go to Wan Ting now, have a good chat with him, and call him into the palace by the way, don't be busy walking, come over together, and Qu Nian will agree on a detailed plan with you." Qu Nian has never led troops, and he can only provide you with some ideas if he doesn't know how to arrange troops, so it depends on the two of you to really fight. When everything is finalized, you work hard and set off overnight. ”

Xie Changhong said: "Be loyal to the country, don't say hard." ”

King Qin waved his hand and said, "Then you go." The widow is waiting for you here. ”

Xie Changhong answered and retreated!

King Qin turned his head to look at Qu Nian at this time and said, "You should have called Wan Ting over at that time, and now you have to wait for them for half a day." ”

Qu Nian said: "Wanting's popularity is not good, I want to make sure that Xie Changhong has any opinions on him, if he has opinions, he looks disgusting to each other, then these two people can't cooperate." ”

King Qin nodded and said, "What you said also makes some sense. Shall we have dinner now?"

Qu Nian said: "Don't you want to go and see Ma Gonggong? It's okay now, why don't you go and take a look? You can also determine the content of the letter he wrote." ”

King Qin nodded and said, "Okay!"
