Chapter 473: Friendship is Deep
Su Qin was thinking wildly, lying in his clothes, his heart was messy, and he had no clue. It was his third sleepless night. It's just because of this spy in the army that he, the commander of the coalition army, has trouble sleeping. It seems that it has fulfilled the common saying: it is difficult to prevent thieves. The most terrible enemies are precisely the bad guys hiding inside!
On the morning of the third day, Su Qin woke up with his eyes open, and the first thing he thought about was whether Ning Jun had arrived in Xipi, he called out to the guard outside the door in the tent, and then asked, "Did anyone come to see me last night?" ”
The guard outside the door hurriedly replied: "Report to the boss, no!" As he replied, he thought, "Is there something wrong with our manager?" Even the birds are sleeping in the middle of the night, where will anyone come to see! ”
Still not seeing Ning Jun coming, Su Qin couldn't help but feel even more depressed in his heart. Could it be that Ning Jun was really as Zhou Shao guessed, and had a different heart.
"He is the spy who leaked the battle plan to the people of the Qin State?" When Su Qin thought of this, he suddenly felt a splitting headache. At the same time, I feel stuffy. If this is the case, how should he deal with it? Years ago, the execution of Pang Hui on the bank of the river still haunts him.
Especially Pang Hui's fear at that time, the **** of survival, and deep guilt, all of which remained deeply in Su Qin's mind, as if it happened yesterday.
When Pang Hui was executed, he was still very young and vigorous, and he didn't have a deep relationship with Pang Hui, so he had to do it. However, Ning Jun really followed Pang Hui and made a betrayal move, how could Su Qin do it!
Since the two escaped from the Qin State hand in hand on the bank of the river, they have shared weal and woe for many years, they are almost inseparable, and they have long been like brothers, who can bear to cut off their siblings? He closed his eyes, and the situation of traveling to various countries with Ning Jun came to mind, lingering.
Su Qin felt physically and mentally exhausted, he really didn't want to move, if it weren't for the fact that he was still in the army, he would be willing to go to the wilderness alone, calm down, and sort out his chaotic thoughts.
However, there was still a glimmer of expectation in Su Qin's heart, that is, Ning Jun was entangled in the military affairs of the Left Route Army and could not leave it for a while, so he was temporarily delayed. "Once he has arranged the military affairs of the Left Route Army, he will come to visit the coalition headquarters." Su Qin comforted himself.
Happiness in suffering, thinking about the good, this is the natural choice of people in helplessness. Su Qin also tried his best to comfort himself, he reluctantly struggled to get up and washed.
Su Qin had a listless day, and he had been thinking about Ning Jun's news in his heart. If Ning Jun really made a mutiny, of course Su Qin couldn't think of other combat strategies. However, in the end, he couldn't get around the hurdle of purging the moles, which was the crux of his heart disease.
As for how to deal with Ning Jun if he was really a spy, Su Qin really couldn't think about it for a while. It would be a bloody infighting in the army, and it would be annoying and a little scary to think about. He was still comforting himself: "Wait, look again, maybe Ning Jun is innocent, what if there is someone else who betrayed the information?" ”
Su Qin also waited until the evening on the third day, and after dinner, he almost didn't have any hope that Ning Jun would come, and was ready to bite the bullet and plan for the worst tonight, thinking about whether to design and lure Ning Jun from the left army.
However, just as Su Qin had just pushed away the plates on the dining table and was about to get up and leave the dining table, he heard a rush of footsteps outside the tent, the sound was very loud, and Su Qin felt for a while: "Listening to the footsteps, isn't it Ning Jun who is coming?" ”
He was ecstatic and nervous, but he was disappointed more often than he dared to trust his instincts at once.
Su Qin stayed in his seat, but pricked up his ears and listened to the movement outside the door. Sure enough, the footsteps stopped outside the tent, and with the question of the guard at the door of the tent, a rich man's voice sounded, asking, "Coach Su Qin can be in the tent?" ”
When Su Qin heard it, this voice was very familiar to him, but it was not Ning Jun, who had been with him for many years and was like a brother!
The guards also found in the dark that the person who came was General Ning Jun, the chief general of the Right Route Army and a famous general, with his prestige, no one in the army knew anyone, and he was a lieutenant who could often see General Ning Jun. With a tone of joy, the guard replied in a loud voice: "General Huining! The boss was eating in the tent. ”
Su Qin also hurriedly got up from behind the table, and while he went to the door of the tent to greet him, he responded with a sentence: "General Ning Jun, I'm in the tent, please come in quickly!" ”
At this time, as soon as the tent door opened, I saw Ning Jun coming in in with a dusty face, and his head was still sweating. Now it is the time when winter is not over, the weather is still cold, especially at night, the feeling of chills is even worse, Ning Jun is sweaty, it can be seen that he came in a hurry.
As soon as Ning Jun entered the big tent, he first asked Su Qin: "I heard that Ji Zi was injured by a dark arrow, and there is poison on the arrow, how are you?" Does it matter? ”
Ning Jun's tone was full of concern, and after Su Qin heard it, he was very moved and warm. At the same time, his suspicion of Ning Jun suddenly plummeted, "If you are not a close friend, how can you have such sincere concern?" ”
Su Qin also laughed and said, "A few days ago, I was attacked by that Pang Ci Xiao'er, but fortunately, there are three elixirs of Qu Xin, the young general of the Chu State, and now it is much better." ”
Ning Jun put his mind at ease and said, "That's good, that's good!" I heard that Ji Zi was injured, so I immediately rushed to Xipi non-stop, I was really worried that your arrow wound was serious, the poison was too deep, and your body was in condition. ”
Su Qin sighed, and he felt strange in his heart: "Why did that Li Qi deliver the letter?" What did he do, how could it be so late? ”
He asked, "General Ning Jun just heard the news?" ”
Ning Jun noticed Su Qin's curious expression, and he explained: "The messenger who delivered the letter, Li Qi, only returned to the army today, he was on the side of the north slash ditch near Shangguan City, and was intercepted by a general of the Qin State halfway, knocked him down, landed and pretended to be dead, and escaped. But one leg was badly wounded, and without a war horse, he limped back. ”
Su Qin glared in surprise and replied, "It turns out that there are such things, I don't know what that Qin State general looks like and what weapon he uses?" ”
Ning Jun said: "Listening to Liqi, that general is eight feet tall, with big shoulders and a round waist, and he is very vicious. He had an iron spear in his hand, and it was terrifying to move. ”
Ning Jun paused, and said hatefully: "On the way to Xipi just now, I deliberately paid attention to see if this person is still in the north sloping ditch, I really want to meet him for a while!" ”
Su Qin nodded and replied: "Listening to what General Ning said, this person should be Shi Hong, the general of the Qin State, who fled after a defeat in Xipi, and it was through the North Slope Ditch that he fled to Shangguan City. ”
Su Qin thought for a while, and figured out the strangeness in it, and he said: "This matter is not a coincidence, it may be that when the messenger Li Qi sent the letter to Xipi that day, it was the middle of the night, and it was not in the middle of winter, and Shi Hong didn't find him." However, when Li Qi returned to Shangguan City from Xipi the next day, it was in the afternoon, so Shi Hong found out. ”
Su Qin also hated Shi Hong for intercepting Li Qi, and said to Shi Hong with a mocking tone, "That Qin general Shi Hong is also a lonely ghost, he was originally going to take refuge in Gongsun Yan in Shangguan City, probably when he arrived in Shangguan City, he couldn't find any trace of Gongsun Yan, so he went around blindly!" ”
Su Qin said, remembering that he hadn't invited Ning Jun to take a seat, so he hurriedly instructed the school guard outside the door and said, "The guards listen to the order, immediately go and prepare a set of utensils, prepare some more meals, and send them to the Chinese army's big tent together." ”
At the same time, Su Qin stretched out his hand and pointed to the guest seat, motioning for Ning Jun to sit down and speak. Ning Jun did not refuse, he and Su Qin have always been very familiar, and Ning Jun called him by Su Qin's nickname. And Su Qin is also used to calling Ning Jun a general, and he has never been able to change his words. However, as long as he is a real soldier, there is no one who does not like to let others call him a general, so Ning Jun has always been happy that Su Qin will call himself a general when he opens his mouth and closes his mouth.
As soon as Su Qin saw Ning Jun's appearance, he knew that he hadn't eaten dinner yet, so he didn't ask him and directly asked someone to bring the food over. When he saw that Ning Junneng hurried to the coalition headquarters, his heart naturally brightened and brightened. He felt: "At least Ning Jun is above board, and his mind is still on the side of the army." ”
Eliminated the suspicion of his friends, so he didn't have to worry so much, Su Qinyan couldn't be happy. He had already eaten dinner, but decided to accompany Ning Jun to eat a few bites.
While the two were eating, they chatted about some military information in their respective troops. Ning Jun asked Su Qin: "I heard that Ji Zi intends to ask me to come to the Left Route Army and send Qu Xin to the Right Route Army to be the commander, but is there such a thing?" ”
Su Qin looked at Ning Jun and realized that he was not in a hurry or angry, so he nodded and replied: "Thanks to General Ning's divine might, the Qin army led by Gongsun Yan has been driven away, and the direction of Shangguan City has basically stabilized. ”
Su Qin pointed at himself and said, "And my left army here urgently needs the help of General Ning Jun in order to open the door to victory in the Battle of Michi." ”
Ning Jun listened to Su Qin's earnest words, and he was also moved in his heart, and did not raise any objections. just questioned Qu Xin's level: "That young general of the Chu State is young, is he capable of commanding a side of the joint column?" ”
Su Qin smiled and said, "General Ning, don't worry, although Qu Xin is younger and lacks a little combat experience, he is a newborn calf with strong blood and strength, and he has his own advantages. I put him there in Shangguan City, and I was also preparing to give full play to his advantages in the future and engage in a long-distance raid. ”
Ning Jun let out an "oh", he felt that since Su Qin had already considered it, he didn't need to intervene more. replied: "Although I don't know Qu Xin very well, Ji Zi trusts him so much, so be it." ”
