Chapter 437: Top Secret Documents
The Chinese military colonel came to report to Feiyi, saying that the Chinese army's big tent had been set up, and all columns were ready, waiting for the Chinese army commander to give further instructions.
Fei Yi couldn't wait for Su Qin to recover from his contemplation at this time, he reminded Su Qin: "Has Prime Minister Su finished reading the letter from the king?" ”
Su Qin heard Feiyi's voice and turned his face to Feiyi, but his thoughts were still not completely calmed and he didn't hear what he said, so he simply said "oh".
Fei Yi continued: "I don't know if the king explained to the prime minister in the letter, after I led the troops to Luoyang, the command of the whole army will be handed over to the prime minister." ”
Su Qin froze his mind, and only then did he understand Feiyi's words, and he nodded. Fei Yi said again: "Before I set off, the king also gave instructions to me to hand over the Chinese army seal letter to the prime minister. ”
Fei Yi said, beckoning to the small school next to him, and five relatives approached, some holding the seal, some holding the talisman, some holding the tiger talisman, some holding the arrow, and some holding the folded Chinese army flag, they arrived in front of Su Qin, standing side by side.
Fei Yi said: "These are all Zhao Guozhong's military order letters, and the monarch specially embroidered the prime minister's surname "Su" on the banner to show the determination of the army to hand over to the prime minister. ”
Su Qin raised his head and replied, "Okay, I'll accept the order letter." As he spoke, he beckoned to his own lieutenants to come over.
Su Qin himself respectfully and solemnly took the boss's trustworthy things from Feiyi one by one, and handed them over to the school guards, who put them away for the time being.
Su Qin immediately ordered the herald of the Chinese army, and ordered: "After the three armies set up their camps, immediately bury the pot and make rice." In the early afternoon, I arrived at the temporary training ground in the army on time and waited for my orders! ”
There were more than 20 heralds, and they ran to various columns one after another to convey the instructions of the main general Su Qin. Then, Su Qin took Feiyi's hand and walked to the Chinese army's treasure tent.
Su Qin and Fei Yi sat down, he asked about the political affairs of Zhao State, and Fei Yi answered them one by one. Su Qin found that Feiyi, as the commander of his prime minister's office, assisted in the national government affairs when he was not in Handan, and everything could be handled in an orderly manner, and he was really a rare political talent.
And Feiyi has gradually matured, trained shrewdly and capably, and the childishness when he first saw him has long been gone.
Su Qin instructed Fei Yi not to leave for China in a hurry, and it was not too late to set off the next day, because he still had something to do with him. Fei Yi didn't know what was going on, but out of respect for Su Qin, he still bowed down and said: "Take the order, follow the Prime Minister's order!" ”
Su Qin and Fei Yi had lunch hastily, and after that, he lectured to all the Zhao soldiers, and Su Qin emphasized the discipline of the three armies such as coordination, ordering, and orderly advance and retreat. After that, he encouraged the soldiers:
"Our Zhao Jun came to Michi this time, not only for South Korea, but also for ourselves, Zhao has been bullied by Qin for many years, and now it is time to take revenge."
"I hope that the soldiers will be brave and tenacious for their wives and children, for the sake of Zhao State, and sacrifice themselves for the country. The most reluctant victory must belong to the heroic Zhao army! ”
After Su Qinxun finished speaking, as soon as his voice landed, the soldiers of Zhao State, who were inspired, shouted almost in unison: "Long live Zhao State, long live the king, long live victory!" ”
Su Qin issued his own orders, and then hurried back to the mansion in Luoyang City, where he wanted to meet with his relatives and give them an explanation.
Because he didn't expect that Zhao Hou would send Fei Yi to bring a letter, when he set off to meet the Zhao army, he thought that he would have to go back to Luoyang City to rest in the evening.
Now, after reading Zhao Hou's letter, Su Qin can't settle down. Received the grace of Zhao Hou very much, and when he thought about repaying him wholeheartedly, how could he be embarrassed to stay in the house again.
Besides, he has already received the letter of the commander of the Zhao army, the three armies cannot be without a commander for a day, how dare he leave the Chinese army without permission, if there is an emergency military situation in the army, the main general is not in the Chinese army, then it must not be messed up.
Due to these considerations, Su Qin decided to return to Luoyang City in the afternoon, say a brief goodbye to his family, and then return to the Zhao army in the evening and devote himself to the upcoming military operation.
Su Qin's temporary decision was very hasty, his family was unprepared, and a pair of children were already older, and they were used to their father's perennial life outside, so they didn't show too much nostalgia and reluctance.
It was the two pregnant ladies who made Su Qin very uneasy, and he told Meng Ting and Wei Jia to pay attention to their bodies and wait for their return with peace of mind.
He waved goodbye to them at the door of the house, and turned his head, his eyes moistened uncontrollably.
Meng Ting and Wei Jia also forced their faces to be happy, trying to be relaxed and disapproving, but when they saw Su Qin boarding the car and leaving, they turned their heads and shed tears.
Although it is not a parting of life and death, but on the battlefield, any unexpected thing can happen, how can a beautiful lady rest assured that her husband will go on the expedition! The bones of the soldiers who died on the battlefield may have been shattered and dilapidated by the wind and sun, but they are still the young children in the dreams of the lady who does not know the whereabouts of her husband!
Su Qin rushed back to the treasure tent of the Chinese army in Zhao overnight, he didn't sleep late at night, thought hard, and finally thought of a reply letter to Zhao Hou. So, he took a brocade box and a dozen thin pieces of smooth bamboo slips, and wrote on them.
As Su Qin wrote, he was still thinking about how to phrase it, and the letter was written extremely slowly. It wasn't until the early hours of the morning that he finished writing the last word, and then blew the ink on the bamboo slip.
He breathed a long sigh of relief, lay down, rested for half an hour, and then got up again, tied the bamboo slips with a thin cowhide rope, rolled them into a small cylinder, and put them in the brocade box.
Then, carefully remove the fire paint, bake it with the light of the lamp for a while, and when the fire paint is soft, the fire paint is applied to the seal of the brocade box, and the seal of the brocade box is completely glued.
It was only after the last that he solemnly stamped his seal on the fire paint. After all these necessary secrecy measures, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
The next morning, the first thing Su Qin did after getting up was to order him to follow the colonel to invite Feiyi to the Chinese army's treasure tent.
Su Qin finished grooming and putting on his crown, and then Fei Yi came to the tent.
Fei Yi reported the door and entered, Su Qin sat on the seat of the main general of the Chinese army, made a gesture of invitation to him, and gave Fei Yi a seat in the guest seat.
Fei Yiyan said: "Don't dare. He was about to stand in the side compartment like an ordinary general when he saw the main general, Su Qin smiled and said: "Fat Lingshi doesn't have to be formal, there are only the two of us here, you just let go of your hands and feet, just be casual." ”
Su Qin said, waved his hand to the entourage in the treasure tent of the Chinese army, and ordered them to retreat.
Fei Yi sat down and arched his hand to Su Qin and asked, "I don't know if the prime minister called me, what are your orders?" ”
Su Qin took out the brocade box under a few cases, handed him to Fei Yi, and said, "I have a top-secret letter here, and I want to entrust you to bring it back to Handan and hand it over to Zhao Hou personally." ”
Fei Yi got up and went to Su Qin's case, respectfully took the brocade box with both hands, and said: "Fei Yi received the order, and he will live up to the trust of the prime minister!" ”
Su Qin said again: "This letter is very important, you must be careful along the way." If you find that the letter is not guaranteed, you must destroy it quickly with your own hands, and do not let others take it away and leak the secret. ”
Fei Yi saw that Su Qin was serious, and repeatedly instructed. Looking at the brocade box again, I found that it was tightly sealed and extremely tight. I thought: "What kind of treasure is this, worthy of the prime minister's fear?" ”
In this letter, Su Qin not only showed his loyalty to Zhao Hou and repaid Zhao's gifts, but also wrote down the actions he would take in the future. If it falls into the hands of others, once it is leaked, it will be undone and bring serious consequences.
Fei Yi couldn't guess the specific content of the letter, but of course he could see Su Qin's attention, so he affirmed again: "Please rest assured, my Fei Yi is in the letter, and if the letter is not there, Fei Yi will not exist in the world." I will protect it with my life and reach Zhao Hou smoothly. ”
Su Qin nodded at this time, and he comforted Fei Yi and said, "I know that you are one of the most trustworthy people, so I will hand over the letter to you and you will bring it back to Handan." However, if there is an accident, you don't have to sacrifice your life to protect it, you just need to destroy it in time. ”
Fei Yi bowed down and was commanded, and said, "No! Su Qin finished explaining the letter he had entrusted, and had a brief chat with him about last night's rest, and then sent Fei Yi out of the big tent.
On the morning of the same day, Fei Yi took more than 200 personal guards and rode along the original road, passing through Shangdang in South Korea, and returned to Handan.
With the arrival of the Zhao army, the other princes were also like spring shoots that suddenly appeared after the rain, and suddenly came one after another the next day, they all heard that the Zhao army had arrived, and Su Qin was stationed in the Zhao military camp, so they came to report to Su Qin.
The Wei army was led by the general Duan Qi, who had held the city for several months in the Battle of Anyi, the Yan army was led by the general Le Xuan, and the Qi State was led by the noble-born Tian Zhang Gongzi.
The reinforcements of the princes from all walks of life outside the Zhao State were more than 40,000 and as little as just 30,000, and some of the princes were also cheating and cheating, sending some old, weak, sick and disabled people, such as Wei and Chu, among which Chu was the most excessive.
When Su Qin saw the Chu army, he found that they were free and scattered, and they were not in a queue on the march, laughing and laughing, as if they were going to a celebratory banquet!
Su Qin secretly complained at this time, thinking: "It seems that this plan to throw bricks and attract jade also has a negative side, that is, the princes think that they only need to symbolically send troops to join in the fun, so the troops sent are not elite, just bluffing." ”
