Su Qin looked at Pang Ci out of the account, and when he heard what he said to himself, "There will be a period later", he always felt that he had something to say. After thinking about it carefully, I couldn't figure out what he was referring to?

Su Qin had never regretted the execution of Pang Hui on the west bank of the river back then, but he was still a little uneasy when he saw his younger brother Pang Ci today. After all, Pang Ci's brother died under his own sword, and out of human nature, it was difficult for Pang Ci to be indifferent.

However, grievances and hatred are like green threads on people's heads, how can it be possible to prevent them from growing! What should come will come eventually, and you can't hide from it. Su Qin felt melancholy in his heart for a while.

When he was sitting behind the handsome case and thinking about it, Zhou Shao had already sent Pang Ci back. Zhou Shao saw that Su Qin was still sitting behind the handsome case and did not move the place, he also felt strange and asked, "Why didn't Prime Minister Su get up, is he waiting for me to come back and die?" ”

Su Qin didn't wait for Zhou Shao, but when he heard Zhou Shao's question, he also asked, "What is General Zhou's situation to tell me?" Did Pang Ci see General Ning Jun? ”

Zhou Shao was angry with grievances just now, and now that Pang Ci has left the Chinese army's treasure tent, he spoke more bluntly: "I don't think the prime minister should have promised him to go to see General Ning Jun, and directly sent Pang Ci away, and he was so polite to him." ”

Su Qin understood that Zhou Shao didn't understand the festival between himself and Pang Ci, and he had never told Zhou Shao about that past before. Su Qin thought about it and decided that it would be better to explain the situation to Zhou Shao today, so he simply told him about the rebellion of Pang Ci's brother Pang Hui and the fact that he killed him with his own hands.

After hearing this, Zhou Shao felt even more angry, and scolded: "Such a capricious villain deserves this fate." Nothing to sympathize with. If Pang Ci is not convinced, even if he comes to take revenge, we are afraid that he will not succeed! ”

Su Qin smiled bitterly, unwilling to talk more, noncommittal. He turned to ask, "Does General Ning still recognize Pang Ci?" How did they talk? ”

Zhou Shao replied: "General Ning was taken aback when he saw Pang Ci, and it took a long time to recognize him, and Pang Ci also shed tears on the spot. I saw that the two of them knew each other, and it was inconvenient to disturb them, so I hurried back. ”

Su Qin nodded. Zhou Shao then said: "Please forgive me for saying that the Qin army and the coalition army are facing each other and are about to go to war, why do I always feel that it is a little inappropriate to let a Qin person go to meet the general of our army." ”

Su Qin let out an "oh" and asked, "Then what is inappropriate for you to talk about?" ”

Zhou Shao replied: "I'm not saying that General Ning Jun will reveal the military information to Pang Ci, but what if he inadvertently leaks any information?" How can this be made clear? ”

Su Qin listened to Zhou Shao's words, and he couldn't help but be alert in his heart, but thinking about Ning Jun's personality again, he shook his head gently. Su Qin said to Zhou Shao: "I believe that with General Ning Jun's vigilance, he will not be careless, and we believe that this is just a simple reminiscence." ”

Su Qin said, beckoned to Zhou Shao again, let him get closer, and he arranged to Zhou Shao and said: "You have been watching a little bit of the movements of Chen Zhi of the Chu army during this time, this person is in collusion with Sun Yan, the great good of the Qin State, maybe there will still be a secret connection." His coming to the Michi battlefield was the most uneasy thing for me. ”

When Zhou Shao heard this, he let out an "ah" and replied: "There is still such a thing? No wonder Chen Zhi fanned the flames and always opposed us. He was punished by the prime minister's 200 military sticks, and I am afraid that he will be even more unconvinced. ”

Zhou Shao swore and said: "Prime Minister don't worry, I will send someone to keep an eye on Chen Zhen, and I will not relax for a moment, and it will be difficult for me to escape my monitoring if I forgive him." Besides, he received two hundred military sticks, and he couldn't even get out of bed for ten days and a half. ”

Zhou Shao took the order and left. Su Qin stayed alone in the big tent again, thinking about the big battle that was about to start. How to arrange the joint forces? What kind of strategy to adopt? How to command?

He still hadn't thought through these issues, but he had to think about them clearly and thoroughly before the war. The taboo of the art of war is not to fight an unprepared battle, and when the plan is not mature and the plan is not complete, Su Qin cannot rush into the army.

The Qin army and the combined coalition army were actually anxiously waiting for Su Qin's move. Of course, Sima Cuo, the commander of the Qin State, understood that the nearly 300,000 troops of the Hezong Coalition Army were stationed in Sogo City, and he would not sit idly by and watch Shangguancheng change hands, but he wanted to see how Su Qin commanded the Hezong Army to save Shangguancheng.

And the Hezong army was also stepping up drills every day, and Su Qin issued orders to the generals every morning, ordering them to train diligently.

Ning Jun, Yan Sui, Zhou Shao, Ji Ji, Qu Xin, Le Xuan, Duan Qi and other generals of the coalition army spent almost every day on the exercise ground. The tension of the eve of the Great War was pervasive in the barracks, as if it were firewood and grass that was too dry to dry, and when there was a spark, it immediately burst into flames.

Another five days passed, and in the early morning of this day, Su Qin suddenly beat drums and gathered generals, and the roaring drums echoed in the sky above Sogo City. When the generals heard the sound of the drums, they immediately put down their work and hurried to the camp of the Zhao army, which happened to be the place where the treasure tent of Su Qin's allied army was located.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the generals had gathered in the treasure tent of the Chinese army, and Su Qin sat behind the handsome case, watching the generals hurrying over, and he was very relieved. It seems that some time ago, he killed one person and punished two people, and he himself asked for punishment, which still had an immediate effect.

Where do the generals dare to be late, how dare they neglect the orders of the Chinese army, this is at the risk of losing their heads! Under strict orders, the appearance of the army was completely new.

When the generals gathered, Su Qin said to the generals: "The generals have been practicing very hard recently, and I have seen it in my eyes, so I thank you all in advance." ”

As he spoke, he arched his hands deeply at the generals under his tent, and his gratitude was overflowing. After that, Su Qin then announced his order to them:

"Raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use them for a while. The soldiers practiced diligently, precisely to defeat the tiger-like Qin army, recapture Mianchi, and drive the Qin army back to their hometown. Now the time is coming! ”

Su Qin's words were sonorous and powerful, and the generals listened to them and rubbed their hands. They have been waiting for a long time for this period of practice, and it is the time to prepare for the start, so the crowd is excited.

Su Qin then told the generals his full consideration of the battle of Michi. He was inspired by Sun Bin's strategy of encircling Wei to save Zhao, but he also used and changed it flexibly to make it more closely integrated with the special circumstances of the Battle of Michi.

Su Qin explained to the generals: He planned to divide his troops into left and right routes, and the army on the right was led by General Ning Jun, with the Korean army as the main force, supplemented by the Wei army and the Yan army, and the troops of the three countries divided their echelons and attacked to the Guancheng of Lushang. If it goes well, take Shangguan City directly, and if it doesn't go well, slow down the progress of the attack, and aim to save the lives of the soldiers, not to seek a complete victory.

The army on the left was personally led by himself, with the army of Zhao as the main force and the armies of Qi and Chu as auxiliaries, and attacked the city of Michi, where the central army of the Qin army was located. The right attack direction is the real force of the coalition army, in order to defeat the enemy and capture the city of Michi, thus opening the door to victory in the battle of Michi. Once Michi was lost, the Qin army lost its base camp in this area, and it was bound to give up the siege of Shangguancheng and retreat back to Hanguguan, so as not to be divided and encircled by the coalition forces.

Su Qin explained his plan, and the generals applauded one after another, and even the generals of the Yan State, Le Xuan, the chief general of the Wei State, Duan Qi, and other generals who originally kept a certain distance from Su Qin, also nodded yes. Everyone felt that this was probably the best battle plan that could be thought of so far.

With this wonderful and well-thought-out plan, the princes and generals were full of confidence in the battle, and everyone was in high spirits and eager to try.

Without further ado, Su Qin immediately announced that the whole army would rest for a day, and at midnight the next day, the army began to move.

The army on the right was one step ahead, and there was no need to hide when marching, although it swaggered to attract the attention of the Qin army, making them think that the goal of the coalition army was Shangguancheng. The army on the left was dispatched an hour late, trying to hide its whereabouts on the road, and by surprise, it smashed the nest of the Qin army.

Su Qin deliberately emphasized the secrecy of the combat operation, and said: "The generals must strictly order the school guards to keep secrets, this matter is very important, once the news leaks, we will inevitably be surrounded and ambushed by the Qin army, and the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

Su Qin arched his hand to the generals and said, "I am here to ask you, remember!" Remember! ”

The generals each received their orders and rushed back to their barracks to mobilize and arrange. Su Qin left Ning Jun behind again and discussed some more details with him.

Ning Jun was an expert in arranging troops, and as soon as he heard Su Qin's plan just now, he immediately understood Su Qin's intentions. At the time, I thought, "This is a brilliant plan, it's really unexpected." I, a battle-hardened general, have never come up with such a complete plan. ”

In his heart, he felt that fighting was not just about courage alone, but more about intelligence and strategy. This is what General Wei Wei admires him. As a former aristocratic son of the Wei State, Wei Wei's martial arts are commonplace, but his ability to plan for war and command the army is far better than that of ordinary generals.

After Ning Jun stayed, he first praised Su Qin: "What Ji Zi has planned, he is superior, I admire it very much!" ”

Su Qin was humble for a moment and said, "How dare you, how dare you, it's just a rush that I came up with on the battlefield." ”

Ning Jun said: "Ji Zi is too modest, it is this formation that combines the virtual and the real, even the ordinary people with ordinary qualifications can't understand it, let alone come up with it." ”

Su Qin had a smile on his face, he intended to take the exam Ning Jun, and asked, "Then General Ning, tell me, what is false and what is true?" ”

Ning Jun replied: "If my guess is right, attacking Shangguan City is false, and attacking Michi City is real." The virtual is real, so on the surface, it is enough to attack Shangguancheng; The real is imaginary, in essence, it is to take Michi City directly, but it hides the real purpose. ”
