Chapter 86: Facing the Enemy (2)

Pinyang County.

Looking at a simple topographic map made by collecting the military information of the Qin army scouts in the room, Wei Kai carefully thought about various countermeasures, but there were as many as 50,000 grassland cavalry on the side of the Luoshui River, which was far from being easily taken by the more than 10,000 Qin troops in Pinyang City.

"Alas, we still have to wait for the general's reinforcements", Wei Kai rubbed his slightly swollen head, and then muttered to himself.

After all, if the Qin army rashly attacked, not only would it not be able to defeat the enemy troops who invaded the hinterland of the Qin State, but it would also startle the snakes and let those grassland people who invaded the territory escape, and what was worse was that I am afraid that the Qin army and the people in this Pinyang City would become a killing before those grassland tribes left.

"General, General", Yujin's eager voice came from outside the door.

Wei Kai, who was thinking about countermeasures in the room soon, saw You Jin with a panicked face walking quickly and said: "General Qiqi, the sentry battalion has discovered the movement of the enemy camp by Luoshui, and they seem to be preparing to evacuate."

Wei Kai heard this, then turned his head with an ugly face, looked at the map in the room, turned his back to Youjin and said in a deep voice: "General, how many days are there to arrive?" ”。

"It takes a day and a night to go non-stop", You Jin heard Wei Kai's words, and then lowered his head and replied.

"One day and one night?" , Wei Kai heard You Jin's words, and immediately muttered to himself.

Although Chongquan and Pinyang County are only more than 100 miles apart, most of the Qin army are foot soldiers, and there are problems such as grain and grass, ordnance escort, etc., and one day and one night may be the limit.

After all, it is impossible to completely abandon the grain and grass, ordnance, and light troops, that is too risky, you must know that if the attack is unfavorable, it will be a death for the Qin army, and it is impossible to ignore the Chongquan front, in that case, I am afraid it will be even slower, but now the situation is not waiting for anyone.

Looking at Wei Kai's frowning brows, You Jin on the side could of course understand the depression in his general's heart, after all, Wei Kai has always adhered to the principle that if someone offends me, I will pay it back tenfold.

Thinking about the act of killing prisoners after the war with Wei Kai in Changchuan, You Jin was not puzzled in his heart, but until now You Jin still remembers what Wei Kai said to himself at the beginning: "I am a general of the Qin State, and I have the obligation to protect the Qin State, and if I want me to have mercy on them, then they will become Qin people first."

Now seeing that the enemy army is plundering the people of Qin State everywhere, and he still can't do anything, he is panicked in his heart, not to mention the general who has always been in front of him who has always taken safeguarding the interests of Qin State as the first priority,

So he was relieved: "General, there is no way now, we are already trying our best to rescue the people around, but the number of enemy troops is really far away for our army, and the general cannot arrive for a while."

And now the patience of the enemy army is slowly exhausted because the Wei State has not arrived for a long time, and with the more than 10,000 Qin troops in the city, it is impossible to stop the 50,000 cavalry who want to evacuate, unless someone can appease them and let them continue to wait for the Wei army by the Luoshui ...".

Wei Kai, who was in chaos in his mind at this time, heard You Jin's words, and then suddenly said, "You Jin, what did you just say?" ”

Originally, he was still thinking about how to comfort his general's You Jin, but when he heard Wei Kai's eager inquiry, he was also shocked in his heart, and thought that what he just said was even more exciting to the general in front of him, but looking at the serious expression on his Wei Kai's face, it didn't look like he was going to be angry, so he repeated what he had just said.

"No, no..., you just said something unless", Wei Kai listened to a lot of words repeated by You Jin repeatedly, then shook his head, and asked in a deep voice again to You Jin in front of him.

"Unless someone can appease them...", You Jin heard Wei Kai's inquiry again, and as soon as the words fell, You Jin immediately hurriedly said: "But now that the alliance of Wei and Liang has failed, it is impossible for the Central Plains countries to send people to contact them again, and after a long time, they will definitely be suspicious."

After listening to You Jin's words, Wei Kai also understood the current situation.

Wei contacted the grassland countries, and the grassland countries attacked our Qin army thousands of miles away, in the final analysis, it was just the two sides using each other, or to put it more explicitly, the grassland countries dared to go deep into the hinterland of the Qin State this time, but they were just relying on the arrogance of the countries.

After all, in the land of the West, the Qin State is the real overlord, and I think these so-called "Eight Grassland Kingdoms" used to be just grassland tribes crawling at the feet of the Qin State.

If the alliance forces of the Central Plains countries have not arrived for a long time, those invading enemy troops will not dare to have the courage to continue to stay in the Qin State, but it is so easy to let go of these enemy troops, Wei Xingzhong is even more unwilling, but You Jin's words reminded Wei Kai.

"No, Wei will definitely send someone to contact the enemy army by Luoshui", Wei Kai said as he looked at You Jin with a slight smile on his face.

When you heard this, her eyes widened, and she said with disbelief on her face: "The alliance of the Great Liang has failed, and the Wei State will send envoys to contact the eight countries of the grassland."

Could it be that the failure of the Great Liang Alliance is fake, the Wei State has actually secretly sent troops to attack our Qin State.

No, no, if this were the case, the army of Wei would have been discovered at the front long ago... But if it is...".

Looking at You Jin's stunned face and listening to his self-talk, Wei Xingxing felt very interesting, patted the shoulder of Yu Jin, who was thinking about it, and then said: "The failure of the Great Liang Alliance, this will definitely not be fake, but those grassland tribes don't know."

When You Jin heard Wei Kai's words, his face was stunned for a moment, and he gradually said in shock: "The general is looking for a false messenger to go to the enemy camp to delay time?" However, those steppe countries are not stupid, and without identity credentials, they will not believe the so-called "envoys of the Wei State", but will startle the snake."

As soon as Yu Jin's voice fell, Wei Kai's originally slightly smiling face, slowly the smile gradually faded, and after a long time, he sighed, and then in a small box in the room, he took out a bronze token with a simple pattern, and said to You Jin in front of him: "This is the token of Gongsun Acne of the former Prime Minister of Wei State, and seeing the card in Wei State is like seeing Gongsun Acne himself."

When you heard this, her face suddenly showed a shocked look, and she took the bronze token in Wei Kai's hand, only to see that the token was engraved with the three bronze characters of "Gongsun Acne", and the pattern carved on the back was also the handsome flag pattern of Gongsun Acne at the beginning.

But now You Jin is not on this bronze token in his heart, but looks at Wei Kai with a surprised face, and then looks at the token in his hand, and his mind is full of thinking at this time why the chief in front of him will have the pocket token of Wei Xiangguo, although You Jin also knows that Wei Kai is from Wei.

"General, this...", You Jin said with a frightened face while holding the bronze token.

Wei Kai looked at You Jin's face, and sighed in his heart, of course he knew why You Jin had such a big reaction.

After all, there is a century-old feud between Qin and Wei, which is why when he met Yingquliang, he lied that he was Zhao Qi, a student of Qi, not Wei.

What's more important is the name Gongsun Acne, for the people of Qin, it can be described as thunderous, after all, Gongsun Acne has been the general of Hexi for nearly 20 years, and in the past 20 years, I don't know how many people of Qin have died tragically under his iron-armored array.

"I was originally the Duke of Wei, and the grandson of the Xiangguo of Wei, according to the blood relationship, it is not an exaggeration for me to call him a third uncle. But then something happened that caused me to be hunted down by the Wei State, and finally I was exiled to the Qin State."

When You Jin, who was in a mess in his head, heard Wei Kai's answer, he suddenly woke up in his heart, and then immediately knelt down and saluted: "The last general should die, the last general will not dare to doubt the general."

You Jin also regretted it at this time, his appearance just now was clearly a naked suspicion of Wei Kai, but if Wei Kai was disloyal to the Qin State, his people would have died tragically in the hands of the Wei army in the Battle of Shaoliang, and he would have won a big victory in the Battle of Changchuan later.

Wei Kai hurriedly helped You Jin, who was kneeling, not caring about what happened just now, and then said in a deep voice: "Now that I have the token of my husband and grandson in my hand, those grassland tribes who are not familiar with the affairs of the Central Plains will definitely not suspect it."

After hearing this, in the messy heart just now, he also secretly agreed, because there is nothing now that can be more convincing than the portable token of Gongsun Acne, and it can prove his identity as an envoy of the Wei State even more.

After all, her husband and grandson have been the prime minister of Wei for forty years, and it is no exaggeration to say that the fame of Gongsun acne among the countries is even greater than that of Wei Wang Ying today.

Because Wei Wang Ying inherited the throne only because he was the son of Wuhou, but Gongsun Acne relied on his own ability to become the strongest Wei State in all countries, and the old minister of more than 40 years. Even if he is no longer alive now, but the people of all countries mention it, who does not respect the sentence "Gongsun Xiangguo".

And because of the token in front of him just now, didn't he subconsciously doubt the general in front of him? Not to mention those who drink the blood of the steppe.

So You Jin hurriedly replied: "The last general, this will select clever soldiers in the army, go to pretend to be messengers, deceive those people in the grassland, and buy time for the general."

"No, this time I can only go in person", Wei Kai hurriedly stopped You Jin, who was about to go to arrange, and then said with a resolute face.

At this time, You Jin, who was just about to go to the arrangement, heard Wei Kai say that he was going to the enemy camp and pretended to be a messenger, and immediately said in shock: "This will never work, general...".

Without waiting for You Jin to finish speaking, Wei Kai looked at You Jin who was about to persuade and said in a deep voice: "With this bronze token, you can indeed deceive the people of the grassland." However, the envoys of Wei appeared so suddenly, just as they were about to withdraw their troops, they happened to appear, and it was inevitable that there would be suspicions in the enemy camp.

Although the enemy army does not know about the affairs of the countries, but you also do not know about the affairs of the Wei state, if someone in the enemy army talks about the affairs of the Wei court and the situation between the ministers, how should you answer?

Therefore, among the Qin army now, only I, as a prince of Wei, can be competent, and only I can convince those steppe people that the coalition army of Wei will come soon."

"No, the general...".

"From Jin, it is natural for a soldier to die on the battlefield, and no one is born to live well. Aren't you sending others to death in vain if you arrange for others now? Does he deserve to die?

If you are worried about me, then wait for the general in this city, and then annihilate these damned grassland barbarians who have committed my Qin State in one fell swoop", Wei Kai looked at You Jin, who was about to continue to persuade, and said loudly.
