Chapter 472: Time to Wait
Su Qin was really surprised when he saw Li Qi, so he explained to him again: "In this way, you go back to the right army and go to see General Ning Jun, just saying that you will report the news and come back to reply to your life." If General Ning Jun doesn't ask, you won't say anything. If you ask about the situation of the Right Army, you can tell him again about the content of our conversation just now. ”
Li Qi let out an "oh", got up and said goodbye to Su Qin, clasped his fists and bowed: "The little one obeys the general's order, and he will go back to the right army." ”
Su Qin waved his hand to Li Qi and watched him leave. When Li Qi came out of the big tent, Qu Xin asked Su Qin again: "Could it be that the commander called me over, did he really deliberately arrange for me to go to the Right Route Army?" ”
Su Qin nodded and said, "I have this intention, if everything goes well, you may soon have to lead the Chu army to mobilize." However, for the time being, this matter should be kept secret so as not to unstabilize the morale of the military. ”
Su Qin thought for a moment and instructed Qu Xin: "Especially beware of your deputy general Chen Zhen, this person is very scheming, and he may not be holding any bad water in his stomach?" This news must not be told to him in advance. ”
Qu Xin's face was full of disdain, and he said: "Chen Zhi colluded with that Jingfeng and secretly slandered me, I have long seen that he is not used to it. If it weren't for the deputy general personally appointed by the king of Chu, I would have taken him down and sent him back to the state of Chu. Don't worry, I'm very careful with him. ”
Su Qin bowed his head again in approval. Qu Xin said again: "The relationship between this Chen Zhi and the crown prince Mi Huai is extraordinary, and the reason why he was able to get the position of deputy general this time was also inserted by the prince's envoys. ”
"It's a pity that my king's health is getting worse day by day, according to insiders, the king is already dying, and the ministers of the court and the central government have begun to slap the prince hard."
When Qu Xin said this, his face showed a sad color, and he said: "After the death of the king, how will Chen Zhi jump?" I really hope that the king can survive this period and see with my own eyes the Chu army returning victoriously from Michi, and the Chu state avenges the humiliating revenge of repeated defeats at the Qin state, and the king can be regarded as dead. ”
Su Qin listened to Qu Xin's words and felt the patriotism in his heart, as well as his dissatisfaction and hatred for the Qin State. Su Qin looked at Qu Xin with satisfaction, and his heart added more love and appreciation to this young general who dared to love and hate.
Later, Qu Xin also got up to say goodbye and leave the account. Su Qin sent him to the door of the tent and watched him leave.
After Su Qin turned around, he first loosened the strap on his arm, and this long strap was tightly wrapped around his arm, and he was uncomfortable for a long time. Finally, when there was no one else in the Chinese army's tent, Su Qin untied it and relaxed his arms.
For this conversation, Su Qin can be described as painstaking. The so-called throwing stones to ask for directions, the key is to look at Ning Jun's next reaction.
The messenger Li Qi returned to the Right Route Army, and Ning Jun, as the commander of the Right Route Army, could not help but ask him about his report to the headquarters of the coalition forces. Then, Ning Jun can always understand the details of the conversation just now.
Out of the friendship between the two, he was seriously injured, if Ning Jun thought of the friendship, of course he would come to visit in person, even if he considered the military situation and was inconvenient to come, he would definitely send someone to greet him.
Due to the military situation of the joint army, the attack of the right army was frustrated, and he needed Ning Jun's help, and he had already hinted that he was ready to let Qu Xin take over his position as the commander of the right army, and transfer him back to the left army to assist the commander. If Ning Jun still focuses on the overall situation of the joint army, then he will also consider taking the initiative to go to the headquarters of the coalition forces to discuss the military situation.
Therefore, by doing this, Su Qin was actually implicitly conveying a message to Ning Jun: that is, he hoped that Ning Jun could personally come to the headquarters of the coalition forces to rescue him. If Ning Jun is willing to take the post of commander of the right army and can come to the headquarters for a trip, then at least it can prove that his heart is still towards the alliance of the alliance, then the so-called spy will become nonsense.
Of course, Ning Jun may not have asked the messenger Li Qi about the situation at the coalition headquarters, if that situation occurred, wouldn't it just indicate that Ning Jun was absent-minded?
Su Qin was forced to come up with this plan to ask for directions, and used it on his best friend, which was really a last resort.
The huge mystery of the spies in the army weighed down Su Qin like a mountain. In order to be able to eliminate the suspicion of close friends as soon as possible, he had to make this decision.
Su Qin secretly prayed that Ning Jun would be free of distractions, and his subsequent actions and actions would prove his innocence. Once Ning Jun's suspicion was ruled out, Su Qin could take decisive measures to directly find out the spies in the army, without having to take care of a lot. When it comes to the innocence of his closest relatives and friends, Su Qin is cautious, tactful and subtle, and still wants to maintain his deep friendship with Ning Jun.
Pure friendship is meant to be a no-brainer of trust and intimacy, rather a sense of trust and intimacy that comes from the heart. But on the battlefield of your life and death, and the life and death of thousands of soldiers are at stake, how dare Su Qin be negligent?
On the day after the messenger Li Qi left, Su Qin had not yet felt the eagerness and uneasiness of waiting. He thought that Li Qi might not be able to reach Shangguan City until the evening, so he imagined that Ning Jun must be very anxious when he learned about the military situation of the coalition forces on the right, if it wasn't late, he would probably leave for the coalition headquarters at any time.
Su Qin was still full of confidence that Ning Jun would come the next day, and he thought: "With Ning Jun's friendship with himself, he won't hear that he was injured and poisoned and ignore it." Moreover, Su Qin had already revealed through Liqi that he wanted Ning Jun to be transferred back to the coalition headquarters, and he should be able to rush from Shangguan City to Xipi logically. ”
Because of his strong expectations, Su Qin's day was not easy, he had been paying attention to the movements of the lieutenants since the morning, and he always felt that they would report to him at any time the news of General Ning Jun's arrival. Therefore, Su Qin's eyes and ears seemed to be in a state of high alertness all the time, so that the slightest wind and grass could hang his heart.
However, as the time of the second day passed little by little, Su Qin's heart became more and more anxious and disappointed, because Ning Jun did not rush over as soon as he wished.
Su Qin was absent-minded all day, whether it was supervising training in the temporary training ground, or pondering the map of Michi in the big tent of the Chinese army, he seemed to be in a trance, so that the Chinese military cadet really thought that Su Qin had not gone because of body poisoning, and his mind was a little trance.
At night, Su Qin hadn't seen Ning Jun coming, his heart began to sink little by little, and he couldn't help but think: "If Ning Jun doesn't come, and there is no special and urgent reason, then he must have a subordinate in his heart." At the very least, it can show that he is dissatisfied with his arrangement, but if he is still a good friend and has dissatisfaction in his heart, he should also make it clear in front of him, instead of turning a deaf ear. ”
