Chapter Ninety-Eight: Thou Shalt Be Convicted

In Pingzhou City, Su Mo fell into a deep sleep.

During this time, Su Mo was tired every day because he was worried about what the Qin army was coming, and he had very little time to sleep.

Last night, the Qin army attacked the city at night, and Su Mo was even more busy all night, and finally he couldn't stay up, so he fell asleep.

"Stomp, stomp!"

The sound of hurried footsteps came from far and near, and Qi Xuan strode towards Su Mo's residence, with obvious tiredness on his face, obviously the pressure was also very high during this time.

"Be quiet, the Captain has just fallen asleep, if there is no urgent military information, don't disturb the Captain."

The guards who were dutifully guarding the door saw Qi Xuan coming in a hurry, and hurriedly spoke out to stop him, not wanting Su Mo to be disturbed by others.

They are all side children of the Su family, and there is no doubt about their loyalty to Su Mo.

"It's not that there is a particularly nervous military situation, but someone in the city reported his name, saying that Nai Du Wei made friends in the world and wanted to go into the city to visit Du Wei, I don't know if it's true or not, so I didn't dare to specialize, so I came to report."

"Friends? Friends? ”

The guard at the head asked, "Has that person been named?" A certain free to follow the captain, almost all the friends of the captain. ”

Qi Xuan replied: "That person's name is Mi Hao, and he claims that the family and the Su family are also world friends. ”

When the guard at the head heard this, his eyes couldn't help but brighten, and he hurriedly said: "Yes, Du Wei did have a friend called Mi Hao, and the Mi family is indeed a family friend with the Su family where Du Wei is located. ”

"Since it is an old friend of the Du Wei who came to visit, the general (a compliment) can let him into the city, but the Du Wei has just rested for a long time, and he will not be able to entertain the old friend until he wakes up."

When Qi Xuan heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said: "Now is a critical period of war, if you put it in the city at will because of the visit of the old captain, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate, it's better to wake up the captain and listen to his thoughts." ”

When the guard at the head heard this, his face immediately sank slightly.

"These days, the captain is tired every day and night in order to level Zhou City, and his body is already exhausted, if he doesn't rest well, how can he have the spirit to resist the Qin army, if it is not an emergency military situation, he must not wake up the captain."

Qi Xuan was unhappy in his heart, but he still said: "Since this is the case, then don't let Mi Hao enter the city first, and after the Du Wei wakes up, it will be handed over to the Du Wei to decide." ”

The leader of the guards was furious when he heard this, and lowered his voice and shouted: "Mi Hao is an old friend of Du Wei, and the Mi family is good friends with the Su family, how can he snub Mi Hao?" Do you want to humiliate my lieutenant by doing this? ”

The so-called three-rank official in front of the prime minister, although Su Mo is not the prime minister, he is the most important guard in Pingzhou City, even if Qi Xuan is a deputy general, he still can't disobey Su Mo.

The commander of the personal guard in front of him, even if his official position is not high, is also the closest person to Su Mo, so he has the confidence to scold Qi Xuan.

Qi Xuan was annoyed in his heart, but after thinking about each other's identities and Su Mo's achievements not long ago, out of respect for Su Mo, he didn't want to argue with his personal guard commander, so as not to embarrass Su Mo.

It's just that Qi Xuan is still somewhat happy in his heart.

The commander of the guard, seeing Qi Xuan's gloomy face, thought that the other party had something to do with Gongzijia after all, and he didn't want to make enemies for his master after all, so he immediately softened his tone and said: "It's not wrong for the general to worry, but Mi Hao is just one person, even if he is allowed to enter the city, it won't make too many waves." ”

"If the general is worried that the Qin army will take the opportunity to attack the city, he can not open the city gate, just put down the hanging basket and pull Mi Hao to the city."

Qi Xuan thought about it, looked at the closed door again, and finally agreed with the words of the commander of the guards, and walked towards the west gate of Pingzhou.

Under the city wall, Mi Hao, who was dressed in civilian clothes, waited quietly, looking up at the majestic and tall city gate, and his face did not show the slightest impatience.

"Mi Zhuangshi, it is now a time of war, and the captain is resting again, I can't open the city gate and let your Excellency enter the city, if you don't dislike it, you can come up from the hanging basket."

Just when Mi Hao carefully looked at the city wall and the defenders on the city, he suddenly heard Qi Xuan's voice, and immediately replied loudly: "The general is cautious in defending the city, how can he not understand that he is pulled to the city wall by a hanging basket, naturally." ”

When Qi Xuan heard this, he let out a long sigh of relief, and motioned to his subordinates to slowly put the large hanging basket that could accommodate one person towards the city.

In the distance, Meng Fu, Meng Wu, and many Qin generals were staying in a hidden place, watching Mi Hao's every move.

After seeing Mi Hao being pulled into the city by the hanging basket, Meng Fu couldn't help but smile on his face, as if the haze caused by last night's defeat had also been diluted a little.

Seeing this, Meng Wu's face showed hesitation, and after hesitating for a while, he gritted his teeth and asked: "I Guan Su Mo is definitely not the kind of person who can be easily said to surrender, and Mi Hao's winning rate on this trip is not very large, why is my father so happy?" ”

Meng Fu first glanced at Meng Wu, then looked around and saw that almost all the generals of the Qin State also had doubts on their faces, and couldn't help but shake their heads.

"Do you really think that Ben Shuai hopes that after Mi Hao enters the city, he will be able to say that he will be able to surrender?"

Meng Wu said strangely: "Since even my father doesn't think that Mi Hao can say that he can surrender to Su Mo, why do he insist on sending the other party into the city to act as a lobbyist, and show such joy?" ”

Meng Fu stroked his beard, and suddenly said: "Do you know that in the battle of Changping in the past, why did King Zhao replace Lian Po and take Zhao Kuo as the commander of the three armies?" ”

Meng Wu said without hesitation: "Back then, Qin Guo carefully spread rumors everywhere in the territory of Zhao State, saying that the Qin army was afraid of Zhao Kuo, saying that Lian Po was afraid of war like a tiger and did not dare to fight with the Qin army. ”

Meng Fu continued to stroke his beard and said, "This is a counter-plan." ”

"Today I sent Mi Hao into the city to say that Su Mo surrendered, Su Mo agreed to surrender is naturally good, if you don't agree to surrender, this commander will send people to spread rumors in the city, pick out the relationship between Mi Hao and Su Mo and the Mi family and the Su family, and inform everyone: There are many clan elders in the Su family who are close to the Qin State, and Su Mo let Mi Hao into the city, and he also has the intention of surrendering the Qin State."

Meng Wu frowned and said, "With such a simple plan, how can the defenders in the city believe it?" ”

Meng Fu laughed and said, "Most of the things I said are true, even if they are mixed with some falsehoods, how can the defenders in the city tell the difference?" ”

"Su Mo has only commanded the defenders in the city for a few months, and his prestige has not yet been fully established, even if there is no way to get Su Mo to hand over the military power, the defenders and defenders in the city will also be defensive of Su Mo."

"The generals don't care, the soldiers don't trust, and Pingzhou City is not so impregnable."

"This time, as long as Zhao Jun lets Mi Hao into the city, this strategy has been successful for most of the time."

The generals listened to the analysis of the bones, and after experiencing the shock that had just begun, their faces showed admiration.

On this day, the Qin army did not attack the city.

Su Mo also slept very well, and he didn't wake up until noon, and he suddenly felt tired from a few days, as if he had been swept away by this rest.

"Crunch!"

After Su Mo got dressed, he opened the door and asked the leader of the guards guarding the door, "Didn't the Qin army attack the city today?" ”

Su Mo was puzzled.

Even if the Qin army loses the first battle, it still has an advantage in troops, and at this time, instead of seizing the time to attack the city, it will definitely do a hundred harms to the Qin army and delay time.

"Captain Qiyu, the Qin army did not attack the city today, what is the reason, my subordinates don't know."

"However, there is another happy event, that is, the old friend of the Du Wei Mi Hao came to visit the Du Wei, and he has been arranged by his subordinates in the county office, since the Du Wei has gotten up, why not go to meet Mi Hao?"

"Mi Hao?"

After hearing this name, Su Mo's expression, which was originally a little lazy because he had just woken up, suddenly froze on his face, first a little stunned, and then his face became extremely gloomy.

"How did Mi Hao enter the city, could it be that Qi Xuan let him in?"

The commander of the personal guard didn't seem to notice the change in Su Mo's expression, but invited Gong there and said with a smile: "Mi Hao came to visit the commander as an old friend, and his subordinates naturally refused to keep him out of the city, so he strongly persuaded General Qi Xuan to put him in the city." ”

"If not, Qi Xuan will probably wait until the Captain wakes up before he is released into the city."

"Smack!"

The more Su Mo listened, the more gloomy his face became, and when he looked at his subordinates who still wanted to invite credit, he suddenly became angry and slapped the other party in the face.

"It's so ignorant that it almost ruined me!"

After speaking, Su Mo ignored his subordinates who were a little beaten and strode towards the city tower.

On the tower of the city, Qi Xuan was still dutifully observing the movements of the Qin army, and after seeing Su Mo striding over, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Thou art guilty?"

But he didn't want to, Su Mo changed his gentle appearance in the past, and began to ask Qi Xuan directly.

Qi Xuan was stunned on the spot, and his face slowly became gloomy.

He also thought that Su Mo asked him for his guilt because he was unwilling to let his old friend Mi Hao into the city, and because he was a little angry with Su Mo's personal guard commander today, he was immediately a little annoyed.

"Defend the city and defend it dutifully, dare to ask the captain, what is Qi Xuan's crime!"

Qi Xuan raised his head and stared straight at Su Mo.

He wanted to get a definite answer, if Su Mo was really the kind of person who abolishes the public with his own interests, he would not be worthy of his respect, nor would he be worthy of Gongzijia's trust.
