The messenger put the written side of the bamboo piece on the ground in front of Sima Cuo, and spun it vigorously with his foot, and soon completely removed the handwriting on the bamboo piece.

After that, the messenger saluted Sima Cuo: "The lower official retires." ”

"The king's envoy is good." After Sima returned the salute, he looked at the bamboo crumbs on the ground that had just been grinded, and said to himself: "Xiang Shou, I don't have this talent." Border conflict, a good border conflict, this kind of incident ......" Sima Cuo raised his head sharply and shouted: "Someone." ”

Immediately, a guard trotted in front of Sima Cuo.

Sima Cuo asked: "Take the token of the captain and go to Beiqu, and tell Bai Hui that Wang Di and Bai Ping will stay temporarily, and in Lantian Daying and Hanguguan, Ben will select three first-class soldiers and twenty first-class hundred people to Beiqu to listen to the order." ”

"No!"

The messenger sent by Sima Cuo not only carried his own letter to Bai Hui, but also an explanation of why the Han people had started the war earlier.

That night, Sima Cuo specially set up a private banquet for Wang Yi and Bai Ping.

On the table of wine and meat, Sima Cuo asked directly without the slightest evasion: "Two, have you ever heard the term border conflict?" ”

Wang Yi and Bai Ping glanced at each other, and instantly understood what Sima Cuo meant.

Because Bai Ping was the party concerned, Bai Ping asked: "Lieutenant, but did you say the battle of Beiqu last time?" ”

Sima replied, "Yes and no." ”

Hearing this, Wang Di and Bai Ping stood up at the same time and knelt down on one knee: "The national lieutenant is above, according to Qin law, the national lieutenant will not dare to say anything as a Qin general, nor will I dare to be untruthful, but I dare not say anything about this war, and I can't say it." The layout of this battle is known to all the soldiers, but there is a royal edict, and those who say a word are killed. ”

"It has nothing to do with this battle, just ask those four words, and I can't go out." Sima Cuo emphasized again and looked at the two of them, he was waiting for an answer.

If you really want to know the layout, Sima Cuo can go to see King Qin by himself.

Sima Cuo didn't want to ask, he wanted to see how different Bai Qi and Bai Hui's arrangements were from what he imagined, he was already old, and Da Qin had no successor at the moment, and there was no one general who could handle it at all.

Wei Ran understands military affairs and can lead troops, but he is not a general, and Daqin needs a town-level general.

After Wang Yi and Bai Ping discussed for a while, Bai Ping said: "Captain, the border conflict is the meaning of the border army fighting the bloody dead, and the second general's statement in my family has two other meanings, one is to deliberately find trouble, especially the kind that can't tell who is right and who is wrong afterwards, the more you fight, the more you fight, the more troops are invested by both sides, and finally cause a big war." ”

"Hearing this, this story can be found in other countries, or it can be my Daqin."

"That's exactly what it means."

Sima Coo nodded: "Let's talk about the second meaning." ”

"Attack the north. This is the second meaning, and it can also be divided into two, one is a retaliatory attack, and Beiqu started the war in the name of this. The other kind of last general has never seen it, and he has heard the second general speak, but he doesn't understand the meaning. The second general said that it can be called a border self-defense counterattack, which means that the enemy army comes to fight our Daqin, and our Daqin has to fight. ”

Sima Cuo patted a few cases lightly: "Wonderful, wonderful." ”

Bai Ping didn't understand, but Sima Cuo completely understood, especially when Wang Zhao made up those four words, it just means that Qin's war against Wei was a war of self-defense and counterattack.

Sima Cuo asked again: "This lieutenant asked you two, how to lead Guyi to attack Persimmon Yi first?" ”

Wang Yi and Bai Ping stopped talking again, which involved the actual strategic plan, although it had nothing to do with the strategic plan formulated by Bai Qi and Bai Hui, but the identities of the two at this time were not qualified to make a plan for Guyi.

"If you have any ideas, let's hear them."

"Show the enemy to be weak, and lead the enemy to attack."

Sima Coo shook his head and asked, "How to show weakness, how to lead the enemy to attack." ”

"This ......" Wang Yi and Bai Ping couldn't come up with an effective way in a short period of time.

Sima Cuo didn't press the two of them again, but just ordered the guards to send another letter to Beiqucheng.

Beiqucheng, the first inter-country wrestling match in the history of the Warring States period is about to start.

In the stands, Bai Hui completely ignored the people from Wei State, whether it was a prince or a courtier, it was all vegetables in Bai Hui's eyes. Wei is no longer the era of Wei Wushu, they are not the opponents of Great Qin, so Bai Hui didn't even bother to give a false courtesy.

The people from Wei looked at Bai Hui, on the one hand, they were retribution, but on the other hand, they were ashamed, the Wei army was defeated by such a young man, and at this time, this young man looked at Wei people with his nostrils, not with his eyes.

An internal attendant walked up to Bai Hui's side: "Zuo Shuchang, Wang Ling, let you talk to the courtiers of Wei State, even if it's gossip." ”

Bai Hui glanced at the people from Wei State, picked up the wine and walked in front of Gongzi Qian: "Gongzi Gongzi, Foreign Minister Bai Hui is polite." ”

"Yes!" Gongzi gave Bai Hui a cold face, he discussed Bai Hui very much, and he hated Bai Hui's face when he saw it.

Cold face?

Bai Hui can say, you are a bullshit boy, you have a good father, why do you dare to throw your face in front of me, we can't fight for my father, we have to fight for my brother, my brother is white.

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, Bai Hui opened his mouth and said: "Since it is a competition, there will be winners and losers, it is better to bet on small things for fun, what does Young Master Ma think?" ”

"Bet ten gold."

Gongzi's tone was very indifferent, and he really didn't take Bai Hui in his eyes.

A small left chief, what qualifications does he have to be arrogant in front of himself.

Arrogant, Bai Hui doesn't care who you are, only Qin is the only one in the world, Bai Hui smiled coldly: "If the son doesn't dare to bet, just say it, ten gold is okay to send children, see that you are not a child anymore." If Childe wants 10 gold, I will immediately ask someone to bring 100 gold to Childe. ”

Gongzi's face changed drastically, and he turned sideways to look at Bai Hui.

The people around who heard the two of them also stopped talking and turned their eyes to Bai Hui and Gongzi.

Gongzi said in a low tone: "With the meaning of Bai Zuo's chief, how much money to bet?" ”

Gongzi bit the three words of Zuo Shu very hard, that is, he is saying that you are just a small thing that has just been considered a nobleman, pay attention to your identity.

King Qin also looked at Bai Hui with interest, he had heard Wei Ran analyze Bai Hui.

This Bai Hui belongs to the donkey, and he has to discuss it well, and if he is tough, not everyone can speak loudly in front of Bai Hui. What's more, Gongzi Qian is not a Qin person, let alone a Qin official.

Bai Hui stretched out four fingers.

Gongzi smiled and said, "Four hundred gold, bet." ”

"Ha, haha." Bai Hui's laughter was full of mockery.

Gongzi couldn't laugh anymore, and his tone became very low: "Four, four thousand gold......" Gongzi Qi gritted his teeth and nodded fiercely: "Four thousand gold, bet." ”

"Ha, haha." Bai Hui still had the same laugh just now, and this time it sounded even harsher than the last time.
