Chapter 22 Plans for further discounts
Wei Wei adopted Su Qin's suggestion, made a moderate revision of the plan, endured his dissatisfaction and resentment against Gongsun Yan, and decided to take a long-term view.
However, because of the new changes in the situation, both sides have to adjust their response strategies, and the person who can communicate between the Qin camp and the Quwo defenders is none other than Su Qin, and there is no second person to think of.
Wei Wei thought that he would let Su Qin run around and be tired, and then go to Quwo City. I knew that I had to do this, but it was difficult to say it in my mouth, which embarrassed the old general.
If it weren't for the relatives who had been "separated by life and death" for more than ten years, how could the arrogant Wei Wei be so discouraged. In desperation, Wei Wei still opened his mouth first.
"The old man here is all arranged according to Mr. Su's opinion, but the Quwo defenders are on the side, I'm afraid I will have to bother Mr. to go again and tell Chen Xu about our plan." He pleaded with Su Qin, a hint of crampedness appeared on his face.
Su Qin had already agreed with Chen Wei that he would enter Quwo City again in three days to communicate the situation between the two sides, so he agreed to Wei Wei without hesitation.
Wei Wei breathed a sigh of relief, his heart was full of joy, his confidence was greatly increased, and he swept away the troubles that had shrouded him just now. has experienced the extreme sorrows and joys of life, and now who is preventing Wei Wei from seeing his children, how can Wei Wei not fight with him!
However, Su Qin was worried about the other side. He said: "I will enter Quwo for the second time this time, and I will wait for you to send Gongsun Yan to attack the city." If it goes well, I'll be back in a few days. ”
"However, if I enter and leave the barracks twice, will Gongsun Yan, Gao Sheng and others find any clues?" Su Qin was worried again.
Wei Wei snorted and said, "Mr. Su, even if you go, the old man's means are not a problem, forgive him Gongsun Yan no matter how tricky he is, he can't get even half a step close to your tent." ”
Su Qin was worried that Ji Lu would make a mistake and expose his flaws, so he reminded him that seeing that Wei Wei was so confident, he didn't say anything more.
Wei Wei looked at Su Qin, understood Su Qin's concerns, and in order to reassure him, he swore and promised: "I will specially support the soldiers at night, go to light a lamp, decorate it, there will be no problem." ”
When Su Qin heard this, he was completely down-to-earth.
That night was when he and Chen Xu agreed to meet, and under Wei Wei's ingenious arrangement, he sneaked out of the Qin camp.
Coming to Quwo West Gate, Su Qin expected that Chen Xu should answer at the head of the city as agreed, and calmly shouted to the head of the city: "General Chen Xu, Su Qin is here." ”
Someone in the city immediately agreed, and listening to the voice, it was Chen Xu who was waiting there.
The drawbridge over the moat was lowered, the city gate was opened, and Chen needed to go down to the city to greet him. As soon as he saw Su Qin, he said anxiously: "Brother Su, something is wrong, the people we sent to lobby Gongsun Yan were rejected by him, and there was no way. How good is that! ”
Chen Xu changed his words and called Su Qin "brother" this time, and his urgency can be seen.
Su Qin was not in a hurry, he was calm, smiling, and comforted Chen Xu: "General Chen, don't worry, wait for us to think about it in the long run." ”
Su Qin meant that the two of them should not stand at the gate of the city and discuss such an important military plane in public, but Chen Xu understood that Su Qin was not in a hurry. He was a little angry.
"What are you thinking about in the long run, the fire has burned to the eyebrows, the matter has come to this, and it is difficult to collect the water, doesn't this put me on the fire to roast?" Chen Xu couldn't help but be angry.
Su Qin looked at Chen Xu's appearance and laughed in his heart. He forced back a smile, leaned over, and whispered to him, "We have a clever plan to force Gongsun Yan to submit, so General Chen doesn't need to be in a hurry." ”
Only then did Chen Xu realize his gaffe. He straightened his face, barely squeezing out a smile. took Su Qin's hand affectionately and asked Su Qin to sit in a carriage with him and go to his mansion.
Chen Xu deliberately let Su Qin to the mansion, the intention was obvious, that is, to win people's hearts, and he could also use Meng Ting to stabilize Su Qin. At this moment, Chen Xu was at a loss, lest Su Qin retreat in fear, so that he was not a human being.
When he arrived at the house, Chen Xu took Su Qin to his study. After the two of them sat down, Su Qin told Chen Xu about the plan agreed between Wei Wei and himself.
After hearing this, Chen Xu nodded again and again, but he was always cautious, thinking, "Will I fall for the Qin army's scheme?" If Gongsun Yan is allowed to enter the city, the Qin army suddenly joins forces inside and outside and launches a fierce attack, and Quwo City will not be able to hold it. ”
Thinking of this, Chen Xu proposed to Su Qin: When Gongsun Yan came to attack the city, they would go out of the city to meet the enemy. Capture him alive outside the city.
Su Qin saw that Chen needed to calculate so carefully, and his heart was sullen. After a few exchanges, Su Qin knew a lot about Chen Xu's personality, and he knew that he was always cautious and kept a hand in interacting with others.
A few days ago, the two met for the first time, and Chen Xu had to listen to his plan, but also let Chen Zhi be on guard. It was originally a very secret matter, but Chen Zhi knew the inside story, and if he said it again, wouldn't he have leaked the secret. In this way, there may be hidden dangers in the future.
Su Qin found that Chen needed to capture Gongsun Yan alive outside the city, and his persuasion was useless, so he no longer insisted. He secretly prayed that when the time came, he would not run away from Gongsun Yan and let Ji Lu fail again.
Su Qin asked about the specific situation of the envoy sent by Wei to see Gongsun Yan, and Chen Xu talked about it, so he didn't get angry.
"The person sent by the King of Wei is named Xu Rui, a famous master of the Wei State, who lives in seclusion in the market of Daliang, and when Gongsun Yan was an official in the Wei State, the two had a very close relationship. However, I didn't expect Gongsun Yan to miss the old love at all, and he didn't even see his face. Chen Xu told Su Qin indignantly.
Su Qin replied: "I have also heard of Xu Rui. Is it the one who stopped the carriage and horse of Wei Shen, the crown prince of Wei, and advised him to give up fighting with Qi at Maling. ”
Chen Xu replied: "This is the person. He persuaded his son, Wei Shen, that he would not gain anything from the Battle of Maling, that victory would not improve his status, and that defeat would be all in vain. ”
"That Wei Shen is young and vigorous, where can he listen to it, but he was said by Xu Rui. The army was defeated by Ma Ling, captured by the Qi State, and his reputation was ruined. ”
"Poor Wei Shen, who is the prince of a country, was reduced to a prisoner and died in another country."
Su Qin sighed and said: "Wei Shengui is the crown prince, if he is not careful, he will die in another country, and he can't think about it carefully!" ”
Speaking of Xu Rui, Su Qin was very envious, and he said: "Xu Rui is really a generation of masters, and his reputation is well known to everyone in the world. ”
Chen Yu sighed and said, "But what's the use, Gongsun Yan is so determined this time that he won't even give him a chance to meet." ”
Su Qin analyzed: "It is said that Xu Rui has a very high reputation in the Wei State, and he has another encounter with Gongsun Yan, so Gongsun Yan has to meet him." But he was so resolute, I am afraid that he had already guessed Wei Guo's intentions, so he didn't give Xu Rui a chance to meet. ”
Chen Xu nodded and said, "I think it's the same." Gongsun Yan was very cunning, he saw Xu Rui's intention, and in order to avoid suspicion, he pretended not to know and sent someone to bombard Xu Rui away. Xu Rui was so angry that he was still indignant. ”
Su Qin thought about Xu Rui's embarrassed appearance and laughed. said: "Xu Ruiqing High I, today is Baoqu Wo City, put down his body and walked for a while, but he didn't want to meet a cold face, and he was very angry. However, we can arrange for him to meet Gongsun Yan under special circumstances, so that he can humiliate Gongsun Yan and let out the evil anger in his heart. ”
"That's great, Gongsun Yan got carried away, he should be taught a hard lesson." Chen Xu also laughed, and it was only then that his heart became more steady.
Chen asked Su Qin if he wanted to meet Xu Rui, and Su Qin shook his head. In fact, when he heard that Xu Rui had come to Quwo City, he also wanted to make friends, but he was afraid that too many people would know the secrets of the Dao, which would be unfavorable to his actions.
Su Qin and Chen Xu discussed for a while, and only after everything was in order did they go to sleep, and at this time, the third watch had already been handed over.
Chen Xu specially asked Su Qin if he invited Miss Meng Ting over. Su Qin's heart was itching, but because of his feelings, he was worried that Chen Xu would laugh at his impatience and fear of disturbing Meng Ting, so he waved his hand and declined.
