Su Qin heard the report outside the tent and was worried that there would be another emergency in the coalition army. Similar to the discord between Jing Feng, the general of the Chu army, and Qu Xin, the main general, the last time he was so angry that he wanted to draw his sword and fight each other, which caused a lot of trouble.

He dressed as fast as he could, and at the same time replied to the guards outside the door, "Come in and report." ”

Only then did the guards push open the door of the Chinese army's treasure tent, and when they entered, they bowed and saluted, and reported: "Commander Qiqi, the envoy of the Qin army has arrived outside the city of Sogo, and called the door there, claiming to see the commander of the coalition army." I don't know if the manager gave in to let him in? ”

Su Qin let out a strange "oh", he even suspected that he had heard it wrong, and hesitated for a moment before realizing that he had not heard it wrong. He thought urgently for a moment, and thought: "The Qin army is so strange, the two armies are facing each other, the swords are tense, and when the war is about to start, what envoys do they send?" ”

Su Qin thought about it for a while, and felt that it was inappropriate for him not to come, as if he was afraid of the Qin people. He replied to the guards: "Pass my order, let the envoy of the Qin army come to my Chinese army tent, and I will meet him in person for a while." ”

The guard replied, "Obey!" Turning around to leave, he had already walked to the gate, and Su Qin stopped him from behind and said, "Wait a minute, don't rush to pass on the order to open the door and let people in." ”

He instructed the herald: "You go to General Zhou Shao now, and ask him to come and see me." The herald answered again and hurried to find Zhou Shao, and after a while, Zhou Shao arrived at the treasure tent of the Chinese army.

Zhou Shao heard that Su Qin had asked him to come to the Chinese army early in the morning, and guessed that Su Qin must have something very urgent. So he ran all the way, and the herald followed him, out of breath.

Zhou Shao entered the big tent and ran out of a sweaty body, still wiping the sweat on his face. Zhou Shao was originally a red face, and he looked even more red and purple. As soon as he came in, he asked non-stop: "I don't know what the prime minister called me, what are the orders?" ”

Seeing Zhou Shao's enthusiasm and sincerity, Su Qin felt sorry for him for his diligence in official business, and said, "General Zhou, don't worry, let's rest first." ”

Zhou Shao replied: "It's okay, I'm not tired." The prime minister has anything to do, just give orders. ”

Su Qin said: "Now there is an inexplicable envoy of the Qin army who has come to the west gate of Sogo City, saying that he is asking to see the commander, you go and pick him up and bring people to me." ”

When Zhou Shao heard this, a look of annoyance appeared on his face, and he replied: "What kind of envoy did the Qin army send to come, if you want to fight, why is there so much nonsense?" I also want to see the manager, and I think it's beautiful. I simply went for the prime minister and sent him away. ”

When Zhou Shao said the word "send away", his teeth were gritted. Su Qin looked at his expression, and knew that he resented the people of Qin, and the so-called "sending" was probably going to go and fight with the people who came. At the very least, it is to drive people away, and it may even be a sword to cut people down.

Su Qin smiled and said, "As the saying goes: when two countries are at war, they don't kill them. There is no reason why we should not even see the messenger of the other side out of fear or hatred. You'd better pick up the envoy of the Qin army. ”

Zhou Shao suppressed the anger in his heart and nodded at Su Qin. Su Qin then said, "I could have asked the herald to announce the meeting directly to the visitor, but I don't think it's appropriate to think about it, I'm worried that he has observed our preparations for war. Now let you go to pick up the messenger, nominally to pick up, but in fact to let you pay attention to the whereabouts and eyes of the person who comes. ”

Su Qin added: "After all, at the critical moment when the two armies are facing each other, we must not let anyone see the military situation of the combined forces. ”

Zhou Shao came up with an idea and said: "Then why don't I blindfold him and bring him into the city, why bother?" ”

Su Qin was also amused by Zhou Shao's words, and he said: "What kind of words are that, blindfolded him, doesn't it just seem that we are empty!" You just need to take him into the city, pick those small alleys where there is no army stationed, turn a few more corners, and turn him unconscious and then go to the Chinese army, and that's it. ”

When Zhou Shao heard this, he immediately replied: "Don't worry, Prime Minister, this is easy to do." It's up to me, I won't stop until I get him dizzy. ”

After Zhou Shao received the order, he rushed to pick up the envoy of the Qin army. Su Qin looked at Zhou Shao's back, smiled secretly in his heart, and said in his heart: "This Zhou Shao was originally a straightforward man who had revenge, and he suffered a lot from the Qin army, and it is estimated that this time he will not be able to spare this envoy of the Qin State." ”

Su Qin then waited for Zhou Shao to bring the envoy of the Qin army in the treasure tent of the Chinese army, and this wait was more than an hour. He couldn't stop looking at the leak next to the handsome case, watching the time pass little by little, and seeing that Zhou Shao hadn't brought anyone over, he was inevitably a little anxious. thought to himself: "This is almost enough, Zhou Shao is going to toss the coming people until when!" ”

Sure enough, when Zhou Shao brought the envoy of the Qin army, the envoy was about to faint from his torture. I saw that the man was panting heavily, and when he arrived in the big tent, he bowed to Su Qin, and after saluting, he simply bowed and gasped.

Su Qin sat firmly behind the handsome case, waved his hand to the visitor, and said, "You said that you are the envoy of the Qin State, but what is there to rely on?" ”

The man raised his head, untied a small cloth pocket from his waist, and asked Zhou Shao to hand it to Su Qin. When the person raised his head, Su Qin suddenly found that this person was a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere. But looking at the human expression, he seems to have no idea of himself.

Su Qin was anxiously thinking about his acquaintances in the Qin army, and he couldn't remember what he had dealt with the people who came.

He took the small pocket, took out a silk book from it, unfolded it and read it. This silk letter turned out to be a letter written by Sima to himself.

In the letter, Sima Cuo first greeted Su Qin and said a few polite words, because after all, the two had fought side by side, and they could be regarded as acquaintances.

Next, Sima Co explained his intention in sending the envoy. He said that now it is the winter moon is approaching, and spring is coming in a blink of an eye. The two armies confronted each other at Michi, and they would certainly not be able to distinguish between victory and defeat in a short period of time. The soldiers thought about returning day and night, and it was better for the two armies to maintain their current territory and stop the army.

Sima Cuo proposed: The Qin army promised not to attack Shangguan City again, and the Hezong army also promised to withdraw from Chongguang City. In this way, each side takes a step back, leaving room for the sea and the sky.

Su Qin looked at the letter sent by the envoy of the Qin army, and felt that this was simply a big joke in the world, he thought: "How can I join the allied army and withdraw when I say that we will withdraw, you must know that we will join these troops, and it took a lot of effort, and now you Sima Co easily said a word, and we will send the princes and soldiers home." What about you Qin Jun, of course you can come if you want, and leave if you want, isn't it a matter of winning an edict? ”

Su Qin gently placed the letter on top of the handsome case, sneered contemptuously, and said to the envoy: "General Sima Cuo sent you here to deliver the letter, right?" If it's just this matter, then I'll also trouble you to give Sima a wrong word. Tell him that in order for the combined forces to withdraw, he must give up all the territory of Michi, and the Qin army will retreat to the Hangu Pass, and promise not to invade the Six Nations again in the future. ”

He sneered and said, "I expect you to bring back my words, and Sima Cuo will not agree to my conditions." So I think you've come for nothing. ”

The envoy listened to Su Qin's reply, but he was not annoyed or angry, and his face was quite calm, as if he had expected Su Qin's reply.

He bowed again at Su Qin, arched his hand and said, "I have another private matter here, I want to ask Prime Minister Su, I wonder if Prime Minister Su can be gracious and agree to me?" ”

Su Qin felt a little surprised, and he replied: "But it's okay to talk about it, I'll see what it is." ”

The envoy said: "My surname is Pang Mingci, and I am the younger brother of Pang Hui, a general under Wei Wei, and I want to meet my brother's friend General Ning Jun before his death, I wonder if the prime minister can agree?" Of course, I also know that this is the critical juncture of the war between the two arms, and you are said to be so nervous here that you will not let flies and mosquitoes fly by. If the prime minister is embarrassed, I won't bother. ”

Zhou Shao listened to the envoy's words, which meant to demean the cowardice of the Hezong Coalition Army, and he stared at the person with a pair of big eyes, as if Su Qin gave an order, he was about to rush over and beat people.

However, Su Qin didn't mean anything to reprimand. As soon as he heard the name of the messenger, he immediately remembered it. It turned out that the envoy was actually Wei Wei's former confidant and the younger brother of General Pang Hui, who later rebelled! No wonder he looked at him familiarly. On closer inspection, it really looks a little similar.

Because of Pang Hui's betrayal, Wei Wei was chased by Qin Jun Yingsi on the bank of the river after he ran to Xianyang, and Wei Wei committed suicide in grief and anger. When I think about those scenes, I still remember them vividly.

Pang Hui was finally killed by himself under Qin Jun Yingsi's car, and his helplessness when he was dying can still be clearly recalled.

Su Qin remembered the tragic past again, and he couldn't help but feel sad again, and he missed the past and his friends. He stabbed Pang Ci's brother, and when he saw his brother today, he inevitably felt strange in his heart.

Su Qin was driven by emotion, and his face showed sadness, but Pang Ci did not change his expression at all, and he seemed indifferent. You must know that Lu Dao is now facing his brother-killing enemy, but he can completely restrain himself, and his white face is still calm, as if he doesn't know about Lu Dao at all.

Su Qin was a little hesitant, out of military secrecy, of course he didn't want Pang Ci to see Ning Jun, because at this moment, a few words of conversation might reveal a big secret. However, out of human affection, he couldn't help but consider the relationship between Ning Jun and Pang Ci. Back then, Pang Hui and Ning Jun were both powerful cronies under Wei Wei, and they had a very close relationship with each other, and their relationship was extraordinary.

Su Qin thought about it, but still felt that it was better to be cautious, and he asked Pang Ci, "You proposed that Lu go to see General Ning Jun, what is the matter?" Can you give us a thorough understanding first? ”
