Chapter 14 Directness is more beneficial
Gongsun Yan replied angrily to Wei Wei: "Su Qin Xiao'er has always wanted to escape, I sent someone to follow him for several days, he was going to escape from the military camp tonight, fortunately I found him." ”
"Is there such a thing?" Wei Wei frowned, his expression surprised.
"It's true. In the process of chasing this child, I mistakenly fell into my own trap and was stabbed by our soldiers as a sneak attacker. Gongsun Yan looked aggrieved.
"Come on, go to Su Qin's tent and see if he is still there." Wei Wei loudly gave instructions to the guards beside him.
The guards obeyed the order, turned around to check, and after a while, the guards turned back to the big tent and reported: "Su Qin is still in the camp tent and is reading under the lamp." ”
When Gongsun Yan heard this, he shook his head vigorously and said, "How is this possible, I obviously saw him sneakily running to the northwest corner of the barracks. What kind of trick is Su Qin'er playing? ”
It's no wonder, because Gongsun Yan has always been thinking in one direction, only thinking that Su Qin was going to escape, he didn't expect Su Qin to leave.
After Su Qin lured Gongsun Yan into a trap, he took advantage of the chaos of everyone to rescue Gongsun Yan, returned to his tent, and pretended to read all the time.
Gongsun Yan wanted to check it out in person, but his thigh was injured and he was unable to walk, so his relatives saw this scene and persuaded him to take a break for a while, and he did it for him.
After a while, his personal entourage returned, and the situation he reported to Gongsun Yan was the same as just now: Su Qin was indeed still in the camp.
When Wei Wei heard this, anger rose on his face, and he said unhappily: "General Gongsun doesn't even believe me?" I see that Su Qin is a weak scholar, even if he gives him ten guts, he doesn't dare to run away. ”
He glared at Gongsun Yan again, and said categorically: "Besides, the military camp arranged by my Wei Wei is not going in and out casually!" If anyone who does not obey orders goes around, he will surely suffer. ”
Wei Wei's words alluded to Gongsun Yan's failure to comply with military discipline, so he was to blame. Gongsun Yan had twelve grievances in his heart, but there was nowhere to say.
Thinking about offending Wei Wei in and out of his words, it was really boring to be self-deprecating. For a while, Gongsun Yan didn't know what to say, so he sat in his seat and got angry.
Gao Sheng saw that Wei Wei and Gongsun Yan had a disagreement, he was an outsider, and it was not good to go either way. So he simply became a peacemaker. persuaded the two of them: "It turned out to be a misunderstanding, and the two generals were discouraged. Fortunately, Su Qin did not escape, which can be regarded as a fortunate thing. ”
Wei Wei pretended to be unhappy and stopped drinking; Gongsun Yan felt that there was no need to argue anymore, it was better to think that he was unlucky. So, he said: "The last general did not intend to disobey the general of Wei, I also thought about it for everyone, and the Mo sect escaped from Su Qin." ”
After hearing this, Wei Wei's face softened a lot, and he replied: "General Gongsun is loyal to the Qin State. I am also very heartbroken when you were seriously injured by mistake today. ”
Then, Wei Wei issued an order: the first order was to immediately ask a military doctor to treat Gongsun Yan's injuries; The second order was to keep Su Qin under strict guard.
In front of Gongsun Yan and Gao Sheng, Wei Wei also ordered twenty-four soldiers to be responsible for guarding Su Qin, a group of twelve, and the two groups of personnel took turns on duty, and Su Qin was not allowed to stay away from the camp tent, nor was anyone else allowed to approach.
A dinner party was gone. After this toss, Gongsun Yan was seriously injured and had a hard time. He saw that Wei Wei personally deployed men and horses to take care of Su Qin, and it was inconvenient for him to take care of this matter anymore.
But just as Wei Wei and Gongsun Yan were competing, Su Qin began to pack up, and he put a long bag in the quilt of his bed, making it look like someone was sleeping in it.
Then, extinguishing the lights in the tent, a man slipped out of the tent and headed for the southeast corner of the barracks. He deliberately moved in the northwest of the barracks in the middle of the night, but in fact, he was deceiving Gongsun Yan, and the real target turned out to be the southeast.
Wei Wei had already given Su Qin a detailed introduction to the deployment of the military camp, especially the location of the obstacles and traps set up, and told him the password to talk to the guards at night. Therefore, Su Qin followed the map and came to the southeast corner of the camp without much effort.
He touched the ground with one foot, jumped up to the camp wall, put his hands on the upper edge of the camp wall, pressed lightly, and jumped his body, and he had already crossed the camp wall and came to the outside of the camp.
Su Qin touched the darkness, and according to Wei Wei's instructions, he quickly traveled along a small road, all the way to the west gate of Quwo City.
He first hid in a forest by the moat and looked out towards the city. I saw that the city wall of Quwo was high and towering, and it was black in the night, like a sleeping lion. There was no one on the city, and there was silence.
Su Qin was thinking about how to enter the city in the dark, and he thought of a few ways:
The first way is to simply find out your identity to call the door, which is the safest, but this requires the soldiers defending the city to communicate to the guards, going back and forth, it takes a lot of time, and if you don't get it, it will alarm the Qin army.
The second way is that he can pretend to be a soldier who surrenders to Cheng, but even if he surrenders, the people of Wei may not believe him casually, and it will still take a lot of trouble.
Su Qin thought about it for a while, and felt that these two methods were not straightforward enough, and he suddenly had an idea, and a clever plan came to his heart. After he had thought about it, he took the risk of appearing directly and walked straight to the west gate of Quwo City.
Su Qin came to the drawbridge by the moat outside the west gate, he took a deep breath, took a few steps back, ran quickly with his feet, jumped forward, grabbed the rope hanging the drawbridge in the air, and then quickly slid along the rope to the other side of the drawbridge.
However, before his feet could hit the ground, someone in the city had already shouted: "Bold thieves, dare to come and attack in the middle of the night." When we really didn't find you! With a shout, a burst of feathered arrows came at him.
Su Qin complained bitterly in his heart. He secretly thought: "It turns out that the silence at the head of the city is faked, and there are actually many people in ambush in secret, and they regard themselves as live targets. ”
Su Qin hurriedly lowered his body and rushed forward vigorously, while drawing the sword on his body and striking the feather arrow in front of him.
Su Qin's feet were as fast as a galloping horse, and he quickly ran towards the city gate. Then, he slipped away under the doorway. The Wei army on the tower of the city watched the comers hide under the doorway, and found that the arrow attack was ineffective. So, the generals defending the city gave an order: stop firing arrows and observe for a while.
After a long time, the guard saw that there was no movement below, and then ordered a part of the Wei army to keep an eye on the drawbridge, and if anyone climbed to help, immediately shoot arrows. The other part of the people, along with themselves, was vigilant about the people hiding under the city gates.
After another half an hour, there was no movement on the drawbridge, and there was no sound from the people under the city. The guard was full of suspicions, unable to guess the intentions of the visitor, and he felt that it was not a way to wait, so he decided to go down to the city to find out.
Therefore, the guard arranged the archers to stand guard at the head of the city, and he took more than a dozen soldiers who were proficient in martial arts to go down the city from the city with hanging ropes.
Su Qin, who was in the city, took advantage of the faint starlight at night to find that someone was coming down from the city, and he deliberately moved his body so that people could find out. Sure enough, the general defending the city led people to pounce, and the swords in their hands stabbed at Su Qin.
Su Qin held the sword in his hand, and recited in his heart the "Keeping the Word" of the Martial Arts Sutra, "Seeing the move to split, the stress disintegrates, the secret guard is strictly guarded, and it is invulnerable". The sword takes the defensive position, blocks left and right, and pushes away the blade that attacks you.
In the faint light, everyone fought together, and the cold light of the sword flashed. Su Qin didn't want to delay too much time, he saw an opportunity, jumped out of the encirclement, deliberately missed the sword and fell to the ground, and his body fell to the ground. Mouth shouted: "Not good! I lost. ”
The guard took advantage of the situation to put the sword in his hand on Su Qin's neck, and asked sharply, "Who are you, why did you come to our Quwo City alone in the middle of the night?" ”
Su Qin spread out his hands, looked like he had disarmed and surrendered, and replied: "I am not from Qin, and I came here late at night because I had important information to report to Mr. Chen Xu, the chief general of Wei. ”
"Do I believe you with a few words from you? I think you are a spy of the Qin State, and you want to find out about our country's military situation. I don't want to be caught by us. The guard sneered and refuted Su Qin.
Su Qin also stopped talking, pretending to be very scared, and waited for the city defenders to deal with it. Sure enough, the guard general said again: "You still want to find out about our military situation, hmph, this time I will try you as a spy of the Qin State." Someone came, tied him up, and went to see General Chen Xu immediately. ”
The soldiers under his command tied up Su Qin firmly, and the defenders who responded inside opened the city gate, and a group of people escorted Su Qin, and rushed to the main general of the Wei army in the city overnight.
Su Qin became a prisoner of the Wei army, but he was secretly happy in his heart: the other party really fell into the trap. He originally wanted the Wei army to capture him and ask for merit and reward as soon as possible, but he met the chief general of the Wei army in the fastest way.
This is risky, of course, but it is also the most straightforward way to do it.
