Wei Qing was brought into the tent.

Wu Ming waved his hand and drove away all the personnel, and there were only two people in the big tent, he and Wei Qing.

He slowly took out the letter and handed it to Wei Qing without saying a word.

Wei Qing's eyes were staring at the letter, on the surface, it seemed that Wei Qing was reading the letter seriously, but in fact, Wei Qing didn't even read a word.

Because he doesn't have to look at all. He wrote the letter, and he was able to recite it with his eyes closed.

Wei Qing looked up.

General Wu's face was right in front of his eyes. The gray sideburns revealed that the majestic general had overdrawn his life, and the dense wrinkles at the corners of his eyes whispered to people that this was an aging man, and although he was still alive and well, his life was already approaching twilight.

If there was no war, Wu Ming might be lying peacefully on the Taishi chair now teasing his grandchildren, beside him, his son and daughter-in-law were happily busy with firewood, rice, oil and salt, and the parents were short. And now, he wants to gamble his life for Wei Qing to be a traitor.

Wei Qing decided to tell the truth. Although this may not be believeable at all, and even if he did, he would have to be executed, but he didn't want to use lies to justify himself, and the most important thing was to be worthy of his heart.

"General Wu, have you ever hunted tigers?" Wei Qing asked abruptly.

Wu Ming was stunned. He shook his head slowly: "No." ”

"I haven't hunted either, but I've seen how people hunt tigers." Wei Qing slowly began to narrate: "That time, my father and I followed Orion up the mountain to hunt a few deer, but we didn't expect the deer to be hit, but we ran into a tiger. ”

Wei Qing's eyes showed brilliance, and he couldn't help but recall the tense situation that day, "Orion will not take the initiative to attack tigers, after all, the strength of humans and tigers is too far apart. Although it is entirely possible for a person to kill a tiger if he fights hard, who would have the courage to take the initiative to attack a tiger? But the confrontation between man and tiger, the longer the time, the greater the physical exertion of the person, and only by fighting a decisive battle as soon as possible can there be hope of victory, although victory is not guaranteed, but at least there is a chance. Wei Qing said this, and asked Wu Ming again: "General Wu, if you are on the scene, what do you think is the best?" ”

Wu Ming's eyes narrowed. The answer came to his mind---- not just how to hunt tigers. "Lure the tiger to attack first, and the man will have to fight." He replied slowly.

Wei Qing nodded: "That's right." He continued, "My father threw his sword directly at the tiger, causing the tiger to be furious," and a smile appeared on his lips as he said this, "Although the hunters eventually killed the tiger, they swore that they would never go up the mountain with my father again, because Master Wei was so unkind that he actually teased the tiger to attack the hunters." It's just that they don't know that if my father hadn't done this, the chances of them being eaten by the tiger would be very high. ”

"What if the result of teasing the tiger is not the victory of the hunter, but the fact that the hunter is eaten by the tiger?" Wu Ming asked suddenly.

"So what's the loss?" Wei Qing immediately replied, "If the confrontation continues, the Orion may be eaten by ninety out of nine, and the duel will be fought immediately, and success or failure will account for half of the possibility." Hunting, like fighting, has an advantage and does not guarantee victory, but we can only do it in the way that is most likely to win, and if we fail, we can only accept it, after all, if we don't, we have a greater chance of failure. ”

After Wei Qing finished speaking, he stopped speaking.

Wu Ming was also silent.

The wind blew through the tent, making a rattling sound, and faintly, the sound of the soldiers' training trumpets could be heard outside the tent.

There was only the sound of two people breathing in the big tent.

Wu Ming understood what Wei Qing meant. Since the confrontation between the two armies could only increase the possibility of defeat of the Han army, and Wu Ming could not make up his mind to fight a decisive battle, Wei Qing decided to tease the tiger, and this letter was a bait to lure the Jin army to attack.

I have to say that Wei Qing's courage is too big, more than Wu Ming imagined. The consequence of this may make Wei Qing forever saddled with the infamy of a traitor, even if he succeeds, forcing the marshal to make the decision of a decisive battle with a junior officer is enough to kill his head.

Wei Qing, how many heads do you have and how many lives do you have?

Wu Ming thought about it for a long time.

He slowly reached out and took the letter back from Wei Qing's hand, carefully tearing it to shreds.

"Wei Qing," Wu Ming said slowly, "Since Ben Shuai said that he would protect you as a centurion, now that you have made a great contribution, Ben Shuai will do what he says, you can go back and wait for promotion and appointment." ”

Wei Qing saluted Wu Ming and turned around to leave the account.

From promoting him as a general to promoting him as a centurion, this gap is big enough, Wei Qing knew that this was Wu Ming's punishment for him so boldly, but Wei Qing was not disappointed, but was very happy. Because he didn't lose his head, not only did he lose his head, but he was also promoted, and everyone would be happy if he was replaced.

As soon as he got out of the big tent, Wei Qing traveled all the way, trotting all the way to his camp. He was thinking about Zhao Yueru in his heart, and he just wanted to go back quickly.

As soon as he entered his tent, Wei Qing heard Zhao Yueru's voice: "Brother Bai, can you pour me some water?" ”

Wei Qing stopped.

He hoped that Zhao Yueru could drink more water and eat more.

The tent seemed to be pouring water, and then Zhao Yueru's voice said: "Thank you, Brother Bai." ”

"You're welcome." This was Bai Buxin's voice, "Miss Zhao, you didn't eat much today, but the food was not delicious?" ”

Wei Qing couldn't help but smile bitterly.

When he entrusted Zhao Yueru to Bai Buxin, Bai Buxin didn't know who Zhao Yueru's surname was, and now it seems that although he was only imprisoned for two days, Zhao Yueru and Bai Buxin were already familiar with each other, and listening to Zhao Yueru's voice was not so weak, it seemed that she recovered quickly.

Wei Qing slowly and slowly retreated, listening to Zhao Yueru answering Bai Buxin's question: "No, Brother Bai, the food is very good, it's just that I haven't been active for a long time and I don't have much appetite." ”

Bai Buxin's voice: "Miss Zhao, if you want to get up and move, I think it's okay, your wound has scabbed, just be careful." I'll help you. ”

Wei Qing quietly turned around and walked out of the account. He didn't dare to stand in front of the tent, for fear of being seen by Bai Buxin and Zhao Yueru, so after thinking about it, he decided to visit a few of his old friends: Hua Rong, Li Guang, and if possible, go to see Ma Chao again.

Hua Rong was overjoyed when he saw Wei Qing, he pulled Wei Qing over, and said again and again: "It's really good, you released it, it's really good!" ”

Wei Qing smiled: "What's good, it's just the same as the original." ”

"Who framed you?" Hua Rong waved his hand away from the miscellaneous people around him and immediately asked.

Wei Qing was speechless for a while. In fact, no one framed him, and he was able to return it with his whole body, and he ran into General Wu, who knew about Dali, and if he wanted to change someone, his head might have been hung in front of the camp gate to show the public.

Seeing that Wei Qing didn't answer, Hua Rong thought that Wei Qing didn't know who framed him, so he couldn't help gritting his teeth: "This matter is not over, let's investigate slowly, and if we find out, we will never let that bastard have good fruits to eat!" ”

Wei Qing had no choice but to nod. Because he really can't explain the twists and turns in the middle clearly, not to mention that Wu Ming let him go, in fact, he also took a lot of responsibility, if he leaked the truth, he didn't count himself, but also hurt General Wu, which is not good. Let Hua Rong think that there is a mysterious person who is harming him.

Hua Rong looked around, in fact, he had just driven away all the idle people, and there were only two people in the tent, he and Wei Qing, but he still habitually looked around, approached Wei Qing, and asked in a low voice, "Is it because of that girl?" ”

Wei Qing was so shocked that he almost didn't sit on the ground: "You know? ”

Hua Rong laughed hesitantly, with a strange expression on his face: "Big Brother Bai thought that he would be arrested by General Wu, so he asked me to take care of that girl, but fortunately, Big Brother Bai is fine." ”

Wei Qing smiled bitterly.

That's enough to see. He asked Bai to take care of Zhao Yueru, Bai Buxin was summoned by General Wu in the middle, and mistakenly thought that he would be arrested, so he asked Hua Rong to take care of Zhao Yueru, I don't know if Hua Rong also told others, his secret was about to be heard.

Seeing Wei Qing's expression, Hua Rong guessed Wei Qing's thoughts, and hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry, Hua's mouth is the strictest, I have never told the second person about this again, and even General Li doesn't know." ”

Wei Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Let's go see General Li together." He changed the subject, not going to dwell on these embarrassing things anymore.

"Not now." Hua Rong said, "It's General Li's turn to protect the grain today, and he hasn't come back yet." ”

"Food?" Wei Qing was surprised.

"This started the day before yesterday." Hua Rong knew that Wei Qing didn't get the news, because Wei Qing happened to be arrested at the beginning of this matter, so he explained to Wei Qing in detail: "The Jin army sent several troops to harass our grain route, and the day before yesterday robbed our grain and killed dozens of soldiers, so General Wu ordered all departments to take turns to protect the grain. Today is General Li Shen on duty, tomorrow it will be General Bai Shen, and the day after tomorrow it will be me. ”

Wei Qing understood.

This great victory not only caused heavy losses to the Jin army, but also forced the Jin army into a very difficult position, if they did not want to retreat, they must first ensure the supply of grain and grass. The problem was that it was difficult to increase the number of ships for a while, and the Jin army was forced to be in a hurry, so they had to send stragglers to grab food. In this way, as long as it can be held, it will not be long before the main force of the Jin army will either have to retreat or collapse. Therefore, Wu Ming did not go to the main force of the Jin army, but tried his best to protect the grain road and let the Jin army drag himself to death.

It's just that since Bai Buxin should be on duty to protect the grain tomorrow, Wei Qing has to go back even if he doesn't want to go back, he can't let Bai Buxin serve Zhao Yueru today and go to protect the grain tomorrow.

After sitting at Hua Rong's place for a while, Wei Qing said goodbye and slowly walked towards his tent. He really didn't want to go back, because he could guess what Zhao Yueru would be like once he saw him, but he had to go back, so he had to walk back slowly.
