The thought of assassinating Su Qin flashed, and Lu Ji naturally showed a trace of ruthlessness in his eyes. Su Qin actually faintly felt his ruthlessness, so he unconsciously returned his sword to block it.

Lu Ji's sword was blocked by Su Qin, and he also chuckled in his heart, revealing a little nervousness, he was afraid that Su Qin would see something. A sense of remorse welled up in Lu Ji's heart, feeling that he was too reckless and in a hurry.

He was thinking about how to explain what he had just done when he realized that Su Qin had taken the initiative to ask for a bamboo branch instead of a sword. Lu Ji hurriedly replied: "It's so good, in the big tent of the Chinese army, I am also very uneasy to dance with the commander and play with the sword." Just now, thanks to the prime minister's blow, I suddenly woke up. Sins, sins, please forgive the Prime Minister. ”

Su Qin kept smiling, waved his hand and said, "General Lu is too worried, the sword dance is just a fun, why apologize?" ”

Xipi is located in the mountainous area, surrounded by lush greenery, at this time the north is warm and humid, and the Michi area is a place of lush bamboo forest. It was not a problem for the lieutenants to find two neat and smooth bamboo branches, and in less than a quarter of an hour, they sent two bamboo branches of average thickness that had been cut very evenly.

Su Qin took one of the branches, waved his hand and asked the lieutenant military officer to send another one to Lu Ji. Lu Ji saw that Su Qin's attitude was very peaceful, and there was a smile on his face, as if he didn't see his dangerous intentions just now. He finally relented.

Su Qin took the bamboo branch in his hand a little and said, "General Lu will give in, and I will come first." As he spoke, the bamboo branches danced in a halo, which was very beautiful, and slowly approached Lu Ji.

Lu Ji also put the bamboo branch horizontally on his chest and swung it out, the movement was soothing and steady. Now he no longer has the slightest intention of attacking Su Qin, so his actions are extremely gentle and humble.

Duan Qi and the others had recovered from their surprise at this time, and he thought to himself: "It was so thrilling just now, watching Su Qin and Lu Ji's sword dance was like a duel, fortunately, nothing happened." It's good to replace the sword with bamboo branches, and it won't cause death. ”

Duan Qi saw that Su Qin and Lu Ji had this Yaxing, and he also led the generals of Wei to participate in the banquet to echo the sword dance of the two, applauding and praising them.

Su Qin took advantage of the fact that he was close to Lu Ji, so he winked at him, and then asked rather mysteriously: "General Lu and General Ning Jun have been together for a long time, what do you think of him?" ”

Lu Ji was taken aback, he didn't expect Su Qin to take the initiative to ask about this topic, the action in his hand slowed down, and he thought in his heart: "It seems that the anti-intermediary strategy of the Qin people has worked, and after experiencing the unfavorable operation of the combined coalition army, has Su Qin already pointed the target of his suspicion at Ning Jun?" ”

Falling into the well is exactly what Lu Ji is good at, how could he miss such an opportunity. He pretended to send the bamboo branch in his hand forward, took the opportunity to get closer to Su Qin's ear, and said: "Ning Jun has been in the Qin State for more than ten years, and it is said that he has a lot of contacts with the Qin State, and he used to have a good woman in the Qin State, and he also gave birth to a son for him. ”

Lu Ji said again: "However, I have heard of this, and I have not seen it with my own eyes, so I dare not be sure." Prime Minister Su has his own sense of proportion and proposition. ”

Su Qin pretended to have a particularly surprised look on his face, and swung the bamboo branch in his hand into the air fiercely. said in a low voice: "No wonder, so many strange things have happened in the army recently, it turns out that there is such a strange thing." ”

A hint of pride flashed on Lu Ji's face, he pretended not to understand, and asked, "By the way, I was just about to ask Prime Minister Su for advice?" Is it true that General Ning is unwilling to come to today's banquet, or is the prime minister deliberately trying to avoid him? ”

"I asked more, don't blame the prime minister. If it's inconvenient, just when I didn't say hello. Lu Ji added.

Su Qin was reluctant to answer Lu Ji's question directly, he smiled vaguely at Lu Ji, and asked rhetorically, "General Lu, guess what?" ”

Lu Ji shook his head and said, "I don't know what to do. Immediately, he laughed, apparently a self-satisfied smile after a satisfied heart.

Su Qin saw that Lu Ji was almost blinded at this time, and he didn't want to make more peace with Lu Ji, so he put the bamboo branch in his hand to his chest and said to Lu Ji: "It's really joyful and happy to dance the sword with General Lu today. In the future, the Wei army's operations will be handled by General Lao Lu. ”

Lu Jizheng couldn't ask for it, and hurriedly replied: "There is no problem at all, Prime Minister Su is ready to order at any time, and the last general is willing to share the worries of the prime minister." ”

Su Qin's banquet ended quickly, because there was only tea and no alcohol, where could these generals be interested. Only Lu Ji and Su Qin had something on their minds, so they made a fool of themselves to each other.

Lu Ji deliberately rubbed until the last one left the big tent of the Chinese army, and Su Qin sent him to the door of the tent.

When parting, Lu Ji had a serious face, he pretended to be worried about the battle situation, and was willing to go to the soup for the allied army, and asked Su Qin: "The prime minister trusts the last general, I will go all out to repay the prime minister's kindness." It's just that the last general doesn't understand how to think about the next direction of our army's action. ”

"I have this question, and I also want to go back and prepare seriously, I have no other meaning, the prime minister is not strange." Lu Ji added again. He always explained his motives, and he always spoke like this, Su Qin also knew that he was weak, and secretly sneered in his heart, but there was sincerity and trust on his face.

On the night after Su Qin invited the generals of Wei to the banquet, he sent a sergeant to secretly find Ning Jun to find a big tent, and Su Qin wanted to have a secret negotiation with him. Ning Jun also knew the intention of Su Qin to invite the generals of Wei to the banquet, and he did not say a word about this matter and knew it well.

Su Qin called Ning Jun to agree with him on a roundabout battle to outflank the Qin army, and in this combat operation, he must maintain close cooperation with Ning Jun in order to lock in the overall situation.

Su Qin took out the five-foot-square map of Michi, held the lamp and candle in his hand, and arranged a few chess pieces on the map one by one, pointing out the location of Ning Jun's division of troops and joint attacks.

When he finished arranging the chess pieces, Ning Jun slapped his hands and shouted: "Ji Zi is extremely wonderful, if he can really come as expected, then the Qin army led by Sima Cuo is like a turtle in an urn, and it is impossible to escape with wings." The people of Qin are the only ones left to cry. ”

Su Qin laughed hajlenly, this battle plan was maturing little by little in his chest, and at the beginning he felt that it would be a very bold plan, and he almost couldn't believe that what he thought was true. But it wasn't until the end of the day that he figured out the deployment of men and horses and the positions of their respective battles, and he felt that it was a godsend, and his heart was quite excited about it.

Now, the suspicion of leaking secrets of his friend Ning Jun has been clarified, and the real spy has surfaced. He himself can just pretend to suspect the wrong object, but instead use the spies to fake the foolishness and stage a good show of hiding from the world.

After Ning Jun discussed with Su Qin the next battle plan, he still quietly returned to his camp. In order to make the fake play more realistic, Su Qin also deliberately asked Ning Jun to move out of the Wei army's camp and temporarily set up an inconspicuous small tent in Zhao Jun's camp.

Ning Jun is also willing to endure there for the time being for the sake of future combat operations. He almost closed the door, just to avoid the eyes and ears of Wei General Lu Ji and others.

Su Qin also secretly sent two school guards of the Chinese army's cronies that day, one named Zhuo Yi and the other named Mei Xiang, and ordered them to take turns to enter the Wei army's camp in the name of delivering letters, and get close to the camp of Wei General Lu Ji to see the abnormal behavior there.

Sure enough, early the next morning, Mei Xiang ran back to report a new news to Su Qin, and he saw with his own eyes that one of Lu Ji's personal lieutenants was carrying a kettle on his shoulder, and he ran out of the camp with a whip.

Su Qin was still having breakfast at this time, and when he heard this news, he immediately ordered him: "You rush back to the Wei army camp immediately, and if there is any new movement, come back and report immediately." ”

Mei Xiang replied, "Order!" Then he ran back with an excited face. Su Qin hurriedly found Zhuo Yi again, and told him that after breakfast, he immediately went to find Mei Xiang, and the two of them kept an eye on Lu Ji's tent, and found that Lu Ji's relatives came back with him, and came back to report him as soon as possible.

Su Qin felt strange: "What is Lu Ji doing with a kettle on his shoulder?" probably found an excuse to fetch water to leave the barracks, but in fact, he mixed out of the camp and went to report to the Qin army. ”

Su Qin Zhi said that he revealed to Lu Ji yesterday his distrust of Ning Jun and the idea of continuing to march into Michi, Lu Ji thought that this could be regarded as a big information related to the movement of the army, and he should be in a hurry to ask Sima for merit and reward, and seize the time to report the wrong information to Sima.

Su Qin didn't know what kind of way Lu Dao Lu sent to transmit information, he thought of several possibilities, such as carrier pigeons or something, but carrier pigeons are sensitive items in the army, and only messengers who are very trusted by the boss have the right to control and have access to carrier pigeons.

Su Qin also thought about whether Lu Ji would personally send the information out of the camp in the name of inspecting the military camp and place it at the joint location agreed with Sima Cuo?

Su Qin originally thought that this possibility was the greatest, but he didn't know what kind of connection it was, so he sent his cronies Zhuo Yi and Mei to reconnoitre.

However, the information brought back by Mei Xiang fully showed that the way Su Qin expected the information transmission was wrong. Lu Ji used the simplest and clearest one, that is, he directly sent the people around him to report to Sima Cuo.

Su Qin thought about it, and couldn't help but hate the root of his teeth, and he said in his heart: "It seems that this Lu Ji is not a spy alone, he probably developed many of the soldiers around him who were originally brought from the Qin State into a traitor in the Wei camp and a joint column army with a heart for the Qin State." It's a gang doing internal response. ”
