When Su Qin heard this, he fully understood the dilemma of the Wei army, if he tried his best to save the defenders of Anyi City, then he might lose more Wei military strength, and then Anyi could not be saved, and the loss of Wei would be even greater. After the first battle, I am afraid that even the strength of the troops to defend the territory cannot be guaranteed.

However, if the tiger and wolf army of the Qin State is allowed to eat like hungry tigers and attack the defenders of Anyi, then the city of Anyi will definitely not be able to hold it, and more than 30,000 soldiers will be swallowed by the Qin army, where will the face of the Wei State remain? So many men died in Anyi, but the Wei army watched them not save them, how could they explain to the people of Wei?

As Chen Xu spoke, tears rolled out of his eyes again, he shed tears in front of the generals, and felt that something was wrong in his heart, so he hurriedly wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve.

Su Qin saw Chen Xu's helpless expression, and thought: "This person has exhausted all methods, barely supporting the current situation, if it weren't for such a dedicated prime minister, coordinating all parties in the difficult situation, asking for help everywhere, I am afraid that the defenders in Anyi City would have been taken by the Qin State." ”

Su Qin pondered: "What the Wei army needs most at this time is not more reinforcements, but morale, because no matter how many reinforcements there are, if the main Wei State does not work hard and cannot raise its spirit, it will inevitably be defeated in the end." ”

The situation that Su Qin did not want to see was that the more troops other countries invested, it was like adding firewood to the fire little by little, which could only fuel the arrogance of the Qin army. The side led by himself followed the sluggish momentum of the Wei army and fell into the situation of being driven and encroached upon.

Su Qin had fought in the Qin army, and he had a very thorough understanding of the Qin army's tenacious military strength and intimidation tactics, and it was precisely by relying on this special advantage that they were able to be invincible and tear apart the blocking forces of any country.

If you lose the psychological opportunity and lose your heart when you hear the wind of the Qin army, even if the number of troops in the East is superior, it will only be a meal on the plate of the Qin army, and it will only be pitifully enjoyed by the Qin people.

Su Qin understood: he is now the prime minister of Zhao, Qi, and Yan, coupled with the joint force of the Wei State, the momentum of the small alliance has been formed, and the first battle is the most critical battle for the allied forces, and it is necessary to win all of them in order to boost the momentum of the Wei army.

Chen Xu elaborated on the current emergency situation of the Wei army, and then Su Qin fell into deep thought, Zhang Yi, Ning Jun, Yan Sui and others looked at Su Qin, and saw that his brows had been slightly furrowed, and they were deeply worried about him.

As soon as they heard what Chen Yu said, they all felt that the battle situation in Anyi was extraordinary, but they were afraid that they would lose more and win less, and in the end they would return empty-handed.

Su Qin thought about all kinds of plans in his heart, thought of as many emergency measures as possible, and hesitated for a long time.

In the end, he decided to avoid the demoralized Wei army, and the first battle was mainly based on the soldiers brought from the Qi state, although the Qi army was small in number, but for the first time it was engaged in the Anyi battlefield, and there was no psychological fear of the Qin army, but it could weaken the disadvantage.

Su Qin felt that he had almost thought about it, so he began to ask for everyone's opinions, and at this time, half an hour had passed since Chen Xu entered the account, which showed the torment he had experienced in his heart.

Su Qin finally spoke, and said, "I plan to take action against the Qin army as soon as possible to ease the pressure on the defenders of Anyi, I don't know what you think." ”

When Chen Xu heard Su Qin's idea, he was overjoyed, he was looking forward to the stars and the moon, didn't he just wait for the arrival of the new army and immediately put it into the battlefield of Anyi to relieve the pressure of defending the city in Anyi? Now that Su Qin has taken the initiative to fight tomorrow, how can he disagree?

Chen Xu slapped his face excitedly and exclaimed loudly: "Prime Minister Su Cheng has high eyesight, long-term planning, courage and knowledge, and he really deserves to be a hero today." Chen Xu admired it very much. Although Prime Minister Su Cheng let go of the war, I will immediately celebrate the merits of our country and ask for the title for you. ”

Su Qin smiled indifferently again, what was he thinking about "celebrating" and "please seal"? The most important thing at this moment was the deployment of the first battle, he nodded at Chen Xu disapprehantly, and turned his head to look at Zhang Yi and Ning Jun and the others, with the meaning of inquiry in his eyes.

Ning Jun has a deep grudge against the Qin State, because the main general Wei Wei, who has followed him for many years, died innocently in the Qin State, and he himself is a native of the Wei State, so of course he is eager to serve the Wei State.

Therefore, Ning Jun first asked for battle, saying: "The last general is not talented, he is willing to lead 3,000 troops, and he will fight the first battle with the Qin army tomorrow, and if he does not win the Qin army, he will never return to the camp." ”

Su Qin nodded at Ning Jun and thought, "In the first battle of the Qin army, the most suitable general is none other than Ning Jun." Because he has served in the Qin army for more than ten years, he is very familiar with the arrangement of the Qin army. He knows the weakness of the Qin army, and he has a good martial arts, so he is seventy percent sure of the Qin army's sharpness with one as ten. ”

Yan Sui is also a tiger general, he saw Ning Jun asking for battle, he was not far behind, and wanted to win glory for the Qi army that participated in the war for the first time, he also requested: "The first battle of the Qin army, the last general is also willing to be the vanguard, and work together with General Ning Jun to kill the enemy." ”

Su Qin looked at Yan Sui and smiled happily, Yan Sui was bold and heroic, it was exactly what the Qin army needed most in the first battle, and it was also very useful. With the joint efforts of these two people, even if they can't defeat the Qin army, they can still ensure that they don't lose their strength in the first battle.

Zhang Yi's motherland is the Wei State, and he is naturally willing to contribute to the Wei State, he echoed and said: "Although Yi is not talented, he is also willing to fight the battlefield and save Anyi's urgency." Listen to Senior Brother Su's arrangement. ”

Su Qin proposed to seize the time to launch the first attack on the Qin army, and received the response of the generals, and his morale suddenly rose, and he knew that this was the first condition for defeating the Qin state, and he was very relieved in his heart.

However, just by relying on self-confidence and high morale, without detailed preparations, it is obvious that he will not be able to defeat the invincible Qin army. They have not tasted defeat for many years, and they have repeatedly defeated their opponents in the Eastern Theater, and they are in a period of great fighting momentum.

Fighting without careful preparation is a taboo for soldiers. Whether it is the "Taigong Art of War" or the military book left by his senior brother Sun Bin, there is a clear warning: never fight an unprepared war. Three years ago, Su Qin and Wei Wei led the Qin army to raid Yiqu and won a complete victory, relying on meticulous preparation in advance.

Therefore, after Su Qin and the generals discussed together, they immediately agreed that Chen needed to quietly go out of Linyun Town that night to reconnoiter the terrain and the military situation of the Qin army in front of the two armies.

When the sun set and the moon climbed the treetops in the east, Su Qin and Chen Xu changed into the common peasant clothes, short clothes and short brown, tied their hair with cloth belts, and took a sickle commonly used by ordinary peasants in their hands, and sneaked out of Linyun City, followed by only four personal retinues.

They were a group of six people, trying to pretend that nothing had happened, and walked slowly along the ridges. From a distance, these people looked as if they had just returned from working in the fields. To be on the safe side, Su Qin hid the Juntong crossbow in his arms.

When they reached the junction of the two armies, they stopped in a field and hid behind a pile of jute stalks. Su Qin saw the bonfire in the Qin army's camp from a distance, and observed that the Qin army's camp was also set up on a high ground, and it was simply rammed into a small siege city one mile square and one zhang high.

Su Qin asked Chen Xudao beside him, "I don't know how many Qin troops are on the other side?" What's so strange about the place where you are stationed? ”

Chen Xu replied: "The place where the Qin army was stationed was originally a village, and after the Qin army came here, they drove the people in the village to other places and requisitioned the houses in the village as camps. ”

Chen Xu is a political official, and he spoke of the suffering of the people with indignation in his tone. Su Qin listened attentively, his expression solemn, and his body remained motionless.

Chen Xu then introduced: "There are about 10,000 Qin troops stationed in the camp here, which is one of the Qin troops supporting the siege of Anyi, and their main task is to monitor the Wei army in Linyun City. ”

After hearing this, Su Qin said in his heart: "It turns out that the other party only has more than 10,000 people, and the Wei army in Linyun City still has 20,000 people, and they have an absolute advantage in terms of numbers, but they are cowering in Linyun City, and they dare not go out to save Anyi. This shows the Wei people's fear of the Qin army. It's terrified. ”

Su Qin took a closer look at the Qin army's camp and found that their walls were not only low, but also had no sharp objects such as thorns to protect them, and there were not many lookout posts set up, only about four places, distributed in the four corners of the camp.

Looking at the state of the Qin army's defense, Su Qin secretly felt that the Qin army was too confident, they probably didn't want to stay here for a long time, so they didn't even bother to build the camp barrier seriously, they just rammed the soil hastily, it looked like it, it was really perfunctory.

And the most stinging thing is that the morale of the Wei army is so low that it has reached the point of disdain for the Qin people. Just imagine: if such a camp is replaced by the Wei army, where will the Qin people leave them a chance, they must immediately go to steal the camp, take advantage of the unpreparedness, and eliminate the opponent's nest in one fell swoop.

However, the Qin army hastily set up such a simple camp under the Linyun City of 20,000 or 30,000 Wei troops, and the Qin army also blatantly operated in the village, simply not covering it, and it was not that they did not take the combat effectiveness of the Wei army to heart at all.

The meaning is obvious: "We are so careless, your Wei army has the courage to come to rob the village." We're waiting for you. ”

Su Qin sighed secretly in his heart: What the Wei army encountered in Anyi was only a crisis of city gains and losses, but a complete rout. It is the fortune of the country that is declining, and the morale of the Chinese people has fallen to the extreme.

It is a pity that Wei Wenhou was so majestic back then, destroying Zhongshan, attacking Qin in the west until the Luoshui Valley in the hinterland of Guanzhong, attacking Zhao in the north and Korea in the south.

Even though Chen Xu had suffered a prolonged siege by the Qin army at Quwo three years earlier, the morale of the Wei army had not fallen to such a slump. Chen Xu led Quwo's defenders, struggling to support, but also let the Qin army fail to make the slightest progress in the city for three months, and finally broke the siege in one fell swoop under the mediation of Su Qin and the arrangement of Wei Wei, the chief general of the Qin army.
