On the city wall of Lingshou, Wuqiu stood still with his sword, looking at the camp of Zhao Jun not far away, like the stars in the sky, but he exuded anger, and wanted to praise, but he endured his heart.

Lingshou has been besieged for two months, and two months have really made this slave-born general become a lot more mature. He never thought that the fate of Lingshou and even Zhongshan would be in his hands, he just hoped to be able to saddle Sima before and after, as for Zhongshan, it had nothing to do with him.

But at the moment when the concubine appointed him as the chief general of Lingshou, he hesitated, but resolutely agreed to the appointment. Without him, just because Lingshou is Sima Cheng's hard work, he has been living for Sima Cheng all his life, even if he has been immortal for many years, in Wuqiu Yu's heart, he has always been alive.

"Are you worried about tonight's actions?"

Wuqiu didn't have to look back, and he knew who was coming, "Isn't Childe also waiting for this result?" ”

Sima Xi smiled faintly, and didn't blame Wuqiu for not turning around to greet him, but walked straight to his side and looked at the camp of the Zhao army outside the city with him, "Tonight's action, what does the general think the odds of victory can be?" ”

"As long as you do it with all your might, it should be around the eighth floor."

Sima Xi shook his head after hearing this, "Eighth floor? I think there are only two odds of winning. ”

"Xiangbang, it seems that he doesn't have much confidence in Zhongshan? I wonder if you also have this idea when dealing with Zhongshan government affairs? In other words, what does the position of Zhongshan Xiangbang mean to you? ”

"The general seems to have something to say?" Sima Xi glanced at Wuqiu.

"Xiangbang naturally knows what so-and-so means." Saying that, Wuqiu didn't look at Sima Xi.

Sima Xi's face darkened, and the air between the two seemed to be frozen for a long time, and Sima Xi muttered: "The eldest brother's prejudice against me is so deep. ”

The two are very close, and there is no one else around, Sima Xi's big brother really made Wuqiu a little trance-like, because this title was often shouted by Sima Xi before his death, the two were of the same age, but Wuqiu was born as a slave and was bought back by Sima Xi, and Sima Xi became childhood friends.

Since Sima Cheng's death, Wuqiu and Sima Xi have become more and more strange. Because of his identity, Wuqiu has not been treated well by the ministers, and now that Sima Cheng has died, naturally no one will look down on him, even his lieutenant generals will not listen to him. And Sima Xi was worried at home and was not allowed to engage in politics, and the King of Zhongshan also deliberately did not use him, causing the Sima family to be no longer prosperous. Speaking of the situation of the two, it is quite difficult to be brothers, but for some reason, the two no longer communicate.

But Sima Xi's "big brother" evoked the softness in Wuqiu's heart, and reminded him of a lot of times when he grew up with Sima Xi when he was a child.

"Whether it's a prejudice or not, you naturally know in your heart."

"But I don't know why my eldest brother has such a prejudice against me."

"Why? Hum! Sima Qian, a guest of Zhao Guodian, once lived in your mansion for a long time, do you think I will not know? And the relationship between you and Zhao Guo has always been unclear. Although the other ministers can't produce evidence, I have seen Sima Qian. You have deceived others, but you cannot deceive me! If I entrust this matter to the king, do you think that the one standing in front of me at this moment is still Sima Xi, the prime minister of Zhongshan? I'm afraid it's the prisoner Sima Xi! Wuqiu tried his best to keep his voice low and not let others hear the conversation between the two, but he couldn't suppress his excitement.

Sima Xi nodded, "If that's the case, of course the eldest brother can tell the king and punish me, and I have no complaints." ”

"You!" Wuqiu grabbed Sima Xi's collar and glared at him, as if in the next second, he would make him his own meal. Sima Xi, on the other hand, looked as usual, as if he was not worried.

After all, Wu Qiu still shook off Sima Xi's collar, "Zhao Jun is outside the city, killing you at this moment, I'm afraid I will lose the heart of the army." After winning this battle, I will definitely ask the king to show you to the public! ”

"If so, what if you don't win?"

"How can you not win!" Wuqiu said excitedly again, this time, it really alarmed the surrounding soldiers, they all looked at the two of them, I don't know why, the general who defended the city, actually quarreled with Xiangbang. This is too unexpected, could it be that there is any contradiction between the two?

Sima Xi looked around and motioned to Wuqiu, Wuqiu quickly returned to normal, and walked into the city tower quickly, Sima Xi also followed him in, retreated left and right, Wuqiu turned around and looked at Sima Xi fiercely: "Did you tell Zhao Guo about the sneak attack on Zhao Ying tonight?" ”

"Big brother said this, he must be not confident in himself?" Sima Xi smiled bitterly, "Now to enter and exit the city, all require your permission, even if I am a Xiangbang, I am also under your jurisdiction, in addition, what do you think I can do to contact Zhao Guo?" ”

Wuqiu Yu thought about it, and it was true, unless Sima Xi had the ability to steal the sky and change the sun, otherwise in the past two months, not even a single fly flew out of Lingshou, and naturally there was no such thing as collaborating with the enemy. "Then why do you say that there are only two odds of winning?"

"Big brother, isn't the current situation obvious? Although Lingshou has endured for two months, the city has already been renovated, and many places cannot withstand the repeated attacks of the Zhao army. And although the grain and grass in the city are rich, the population of Lingshou is no longer a minority, so you can't give up the people of Lingshou and just use it for officials and soldiers, right? ”

"The most important thing is that although the eldest brother's strategy was unexpected, with Zhao Jun's vigilance, I am afraid it is not suitable for a successful sneak attack." Sima Xi said, "And the number of the Zhao army, how can it be disrupted by a mere five thousand cavalry? Unless you can go straight to the middle tent and capture the head of King Zhao. ”

"How do you know it doesn't have to be? The heart of a villain is just a mouse's eye. ”

Sima Xi was gloomy: "Why should the eldest brother deceive himself? If there is really an eight-layer chance of winning, the eldest brother doesn't have to scatter all his family wealth, leaving only the old slave and his wife and children. ”

Wuqiu's body was shocked, and he said slowly: "Your news is really well-informed." Indeed, he did do these things, he thought he was doing it seamlessly, but he didn't expect to be discovered by Sima Xi.

"What about you? Up and down this Lingshou City, officials of all sizes are vying to arrange the future. Some people have ghosts in their hearts and think about how to befriend King Zhao; Some people decided to live and die with the king, disperse their wealth early, and arrange their wives and children. Hehe, sure enough, the disaster is coming, everyone has a choice. ”

Wuqiu turned his head and looked at Sima Xi, "You're here to persuade him to surrender." ”

"Sort it out." Sima Xi generously admitted, "Of course, it is purely a kind of persuasion, not persuasion. ”

"Do you think so-and-so will say yes?"

"Naturally, no, otherwise, you wouldn't be my hill duck either."

"Why bother here?"

"Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven. After all, you and I are brothers, and some things have to be done after all. ”

"Now that you know my intentions, please go back."

"Farewell."

Since the two of them spread out their cards, they had nothing to hide, and ended the meeting very happily.

"Wait." Wuqiu suddenly called out to Sima Xi.

"Big brother." Sima Xi turned around and looked at Wu Qiu.

"I have never understood, why Xiangbang is dedicated to assisting the king in making achievements, but you want to ruin the future of Zhongshan? Zhongshan has never treated you badly? ”

Sima Xi was silent for a while, and returned lightly: "Maybe, because I'm Sima Xi." So saying, he saluted him again and left the tower.

"Yes, because you are Sima Xi, you think Zhongshan is too small for you to display your ambitions. Xiangbang said that you are a Zhongshan wolf, maybe, even he looked away. ”

Wu Qiu said, looking to the east again, when the sun rises, he can announce the future of himself and Zhongshan. Now, time is running out.

"These people seem to be Zhongshan cavalry." The adjutant whispered.

"Naturally, yes. Who else could there be? Qiu Li smiled happily and watched the other party march cautiously, neither lighting a torch nor wearing an iron cloak. Just groping your way forward. However, they still forgot the most important point, which is that the sound of the horse's hooves cannot be hidden. It was through the sound of horses' hooves that Qiu Liquid discovered their traces.

"Captain, what should I do?"

Qiu Liquid took advantage of the moonlight to count the number of people, and there were five or six thousand people. If these five or six thousand people sneak up on their own camp, they will cry and mourn. After rejoicing in his mistake, he ordered: "Everyone, keep up with this cavalry unit and see what he thinks." Don't alarm them, just follow them. When to attack, listen to me! ”

"No!"

As Qiu Li's order passed down, there was another tail behind this Zhongshan cavalry, but it was obvious that they didn't realize it. It's about going as usual. Qiu Li's troops followed behind and followed for a long time, and the more Qiu Li walked, the more doubts he felt in his heart, "Strange, isn't this team heading towards itself?" Why make such a big detour? ”

"The captain clearly observed that the target of these people does not seem to be our large camp along the river. Otherwise, just inserted directly from here, you will be able to directly attack the location of our army's camp. Further on, it is Lingshou. ”

"Lingshou?" Qiu Li's eyes lit up, "Damn, I understand, these people are sneaky here, and they are ready to attack our army's camp besieging Lingshou at night!" It must have been united with the defenders of the city, and when they attacked at night, the city gate was also opened, and the Lingshou camp was encircled. ”

The more Qiu Ye thought about it, the more frightened he became, and quickly ordered to catch up with this sneak attack force, and be sure to take it before they attacked the Zhao army's camp, otherwise the failure of the Zhao army to destroy Zhongshan would be small, and it would be bad if Zhao Yong suffered an accident.

"Hurry forward, destroy the enemy army, kill!"
