Su Qin was asked about the situation of getting together with Princess Yingyi, which was very unnatural, and he replied to Wei Wei in a hesitant manner:

"Oh, the two of us, we talked well, we were okay. Princess Yingyi looked very happy, she didn't want to marry Mao Du in the first place. Now that I'm free, of course I'm happy. ”

Wei Wei had no distracting thoughts in his heart, so he didn't pay attention to the difference between Su Qin and usual when answering this question. From Wei Wei's heart, in fact, he wanted to give Wei Jia to Su Qin. But Wei Wei is more steady, and he will respect Wei Jia and Su Qin's wishes, rather than forcing the two to be together.

However, how did he know that Su Qin and Ying Yi were impulsively mingled again, and how could there be any more places for Wei Jia to intervene in his heart.

Su Qin diverted the topic and asked Wei Wei about the date of the return of the Qin army, Wei Wei said that it was set for the next day, and he asked Su Qin: "Do you think it is appropriate, is there anything wrong?" ”

"I'm just asking, I don't have any opinions." Su Qin hurriedly waved his hand to deny it.

But Su Qin had a sentence in his heart, and he held it until today, and he wanted to ask Wei Wei since last night, but seeing that he was so busy, it was difficult to speak. Now, he finally made up his mind to ask.

Su Qin looked directly at Wei Wei calmly and said, "There is one thing I want to ask the general, the tens of thousands of Yiqu people who have been captured, what does the Qin State plan to do with them?" ”

Wei Wei paused for a moment, thought for a while, and replied: "I haven't thought about this problem, how else can I deal with it, probably just move them to the mainland and find a place to settle them." This matter has to be handled by Qin Jun personally, I only care about the war, and I don't bother to take care of other things. ”

When Su Qin heard this, he obviously didn't believe such an ending, he frowned deeply and said: "I think that Qin Jun Yingsi is not so kind, these tens of thousands of Yiqu people, placed in the hinterland of Qin State, how can he eat well and sleep well." How can you let the tiger be on your side under the couch? I'm worried about these captives. ”

Wei Wei's eyes widened in surprise and said, "I think Mr. Su is too worried. Last year, when the Qin State attacked Diaoyin, they released all the Wei people there and let them return to the Wei State, but they only occupied the territory. How could it be that now the bare-handed prisoners of Yiqu were killed for no reason? ”

Su Qin saw that Wei Wei was not very concerned about the topic of the disposal of prisoners, and firmly believed that Qin Jun Yingsi would arrange according to the conventions of the war, he knew that it was useless to say more at this time, so he was unwilling to argue with Wei Wei on the spot.

He put on a skeptical look and said, "That's the best, otherwise, wouldn't you and I become accomplices in the slaughter of innocent people!" ”

Wei Wei smiled, still immersed in the ecstasy after the big victory, he comforted Su Qin and said, "No, no." ”

While the two were talking, the guard outside the tent came in and reported, "General Sima Cuo has asked to see the chief general." ”

"Then ask him to come in." Wei Wei ordered quietly.

The guard went out of the tent and returned to Sima Cuo, and then Sima Cuo stepped into the tent in a heroic manner. He clasped his hands into fists, bowed down and bowed deeply, and reported loudly: "The last general will see Lord Wei." ”

Wei Wei's expression suddenly became serious when he met his subordinates, he was dealing with military affairs, especially in wartime, when he met his subordinate generals, he always had a majestic and non-offensive posture, so the generals were also a little afraid of him. is not like Su Qin, because he was in contact with Wei Wei as a guest at the beginning, there is little official meaning between the two and more personal feelings.

Wei Wei asked Sima wrongly: "I don't know what military information General Sima wants to report to me?" ”

Sima Coo glanced at Su Qin, a little concerned that Su Qin was on his side, but found that Wei Wei didn't mind, so he didn't dare to worry too much, and replied respectfully: "The last general just received a letter from the king's flying pigeon, ordering me to take 10,000 Qin troops to escort the captives and break the queen, and ask the general to lead the army to take the first step." ”

Wei Wei was a little unhappy when he heard Sima Cuo's report, and secretly blamed Qin Jun for not communicating with the main general first because he had a military order, and directly sent the order to the officer at the lower level.

However, he still thought about it: "The reason why Qin Jun gave this order is probably because he is afraid that the army will be abroad for a long time and the country will be uneasy. That's why I let myself lead a large army back to China first. ”

Wei Wei was unhappy in his heart, but his face was still as calm as usual, and he said calmly: "I know the way, then General Sima will follow the orders of the king." I will leave tomorrow with a large army, and you will leave the aftermath and escort the captives with you in two days. ”

Sima Cuo bowed with his hands together again, and shouted loudly: "The last general obeys." He said goodbye to Wei Wei and turned around and walked out of the big tent.

When Su Qin heard the news just now, his heart was even more worried, and he frowned deeply again. Seeing Su Qin's strange appearance, Wei Wei felt strange in his heart and asked, "Mr. Su is not feeling well, what's wrong with your body?" ”

Su Qin shook his head, indicating that his body was fine, and what he was worried about was the fate of the Yiqu people. And Wei Wei still didn't think much about this matter.

Su Qin then said bluntly: "I hope that the general can order the release of a group of old and weak, women and children in Yiqu, they are obviously no longer the opponents of the Qin army, it is better to let them go, so as not to be slaughtered." ”

Wei Wei pondered for a long time, he was also very conflicted, Qin Jun did not authorize him to dispose of the Yiqu prisoners, if he casually ordered the release of people, he would not be able to deal with Qin Jun Yingsi at that time. However, what Su Qin said could not be ignored, and he also took into account his friend's request very much, after all, Su Qin made the first contribution in this operation.

Wei Wei came up with a compromise solution, he gave Su Qin a general order, asking him to select some people who had no combat effectiveness and let them go, the fewer the number the better.

Su Qin received the general's order, and if he had obtained a treasure, he hurriedly got up to say goodbye and went straight to the prisoner camp. When he got there, he found that tens of thousands of Yiqu people were crowded in a cattle and sheep pen within a radius of fifty or sixty zhang, they were tied up with five flowers, their heads hung down, hungry and frozen, and their expressions were blank.

Su Qin took Wei Wei's general order and ordered the soldiers guarding to select the old, weak, women and children among the Yiqu captives and let them out of the prisoner camp. In order to release more people, Su Qin deliberately selected a lot of teenagers, even young people, and even young people, and there were only about 3,000 Yiqu people left in the prisoner camp after the last day.

Almost all of the selected Yiqu people still have relatives still in the camps, and they stand there, weeping and refusing to leave.

This made Su Qin anxious, and he shouted to them loudly in Yiqu dialect: "You guys hurry up and run for your lives, otherwise it will be too late." ”

Some of the middle-aged people who remained in the camp also shouted to their relatives, telling them to leave quickly and leave them alone. The Qin soldiers guarding the captives saw that the Yiqu people were in a commotion, so they raised their swords and threatened the captives, and the captives quieted down.

At this moment of chaos, a war horse galloped in the distance, and it was the young general Sima Cuo who was sitting upright. With an angry face, he came to the gate of the prisoner camp and shouted at the guards and soldiers: "Who told you to release the prisoners without permission, don't you all want to live!" ”
