Su Qin sighed softly, and he turned his head to ask the personal attendant in Zhou Shao's tent, "Has General Zhou woken up?" Did he have dinner? Have you ever been here? Did he take care of his wounds carefully? ”

Su Qin sent a lot of questions in a row, and his concern was overflowing. Zhou Shao's personal guards hurriedly replied one by one.

Su Qin then ordered: "Tonight, you will go to find the best healer in the army, and say that it is my order, and let him come and check General Zhou again." You too, you must take care of it, and there must be no sloppiness! ”

The school guards could see Su Qin's concern, they hurriedly nodded and said, "Order!" Rest assured, we won't miss a moment's notice. ”

The conversation between Su Qin and the school guard, Zhou Shao listened to it in his ears. He found that Su Qin cared for him sincerely, and the grievances in his heart suddenly weakened a lot, and a small part of these grievances were originally directed at Su Qin. Zhou Shao's body moved, and he slowly opened his eyes.

Su Qin was overjoyed when he found that Zhou Shao had woken up, he held Zhou Shao's body and said to him: "General Zhou is awake, how do you feel, are you feeling better?" ”

Zhou Shao nodded slightly, he was actually not feeling well, but he didn't want Su Qin to worry too much about himself, so he tried his best to make his body look like it didn't matter.

Zhou Shao replied: "Thanks to the prime minister's visit, I am physically injured and cannot give the prime minister a salute, please forgive the prime minister." ”

Su Qin hurriedly replied: "General Zhou, don't be polite, with your friendship with me, why bother with etiquette." In the future, you don't have to show any courtesy when you see me. I will never pick on you. ”

Zhou Shao moved his head with difficulty, he wanted to bow his head again, but he felt weak, so he could only blink his eyes a few more times to signal that he had heard.

Zhou Shao still wanted to speak, and unconsciously pursed his lips. Su Qin asked, "Is General Zhou thirsty?" Do you want to drink some water? He turned his head and said to his entourage, "Bring water to General Zhou." ”

The entourage hurried to find the kettle and ear cups, and poured some water into the cups. Su Qin took the ear cup into his hand, and asked them to find the spoon, and he personally fed Zhou Shao water.

Zhou Shao saw that Su Qin was so attentive and kind, he disregarded his identity and condescended to serve himself, and he naturally felt a lot better in his heart.

However, Zhou Shaoyi remembered the wretched anger he suffered in this battle, and he was inevitably angry in his heart. He was both nostalgic and angry, and tears appeared in the corners of his eyes.

Su Qin saw Zhou Shao's expression and guessed that he had grievances in his heart, Su Qin comforted: "General Zhou doesn't have to be sad, your top priority is to recuperate quietly, and everything else will wait for the injury to improve." ”

Zhou Shao himself couldn't help but say some thoughts in his heart, he said softly: "Annoying the prime minister, send the other people in the tent outside to take shelter for a while, I have something to say to the prime minister alone." ”

Su Qin let out an "oh", out of not wanting Zhou Shao to worry about military affairs anymore, he said: "If it is a matter that does not matter in the army, General Zhou will not be too late in a few days, after all, your injuries are still very serious and you can't work hard." ”

When Zhou Shao heard this, he looked very anxious, his body turned around, and he pulled the wound, and he couldn't help grinning in pain. He said: "The last general has something in his heart, and if he does not say it, it will be like a bone in his throat, and he will not vomit or be unhappy. ”

Su Qin saw that Zhou Shao was in a hurry, and he hurriedly followed Zhou Shao's proposal. He waved his hand to the guards in the camp tent and said, "You go to the camp tent for a while, and I will have a few words with General Zhou alone." ”

Listening to Su Qin's order, the school guards got up one after another and went outside the camp. Zhou Shao said again at this time: "The defeat of today's battle, the last general can't figure it out, our army originally formulated a strict and comprehensive battle plan, and the possibility of success is very great, how can it be beaten like this by the Qin army after the end!" ”

Zhou Shao's tone was very angry, and Su Qin was very sad when he heard Zhou Shao's words.

He couldn't think of how to answer Zhou Shao for a while, and after thinking for a while, Su Qin replied: "The so-called people are not as good as the heavens, although the plan is perfect, but the hundred secrets are sparse, I never thought that I would be ambushed by the Qin army in the middle." ”

Zhou Shao said: "Please forgive the general, I think the fundamental reason for today's defeat is that the Qin army has a good understanding of our combat plans, otherwise in a hurry, how could we organize such a tight ambush formation." ”

Su Qin nodded, he didn't deny this. Just imagine, if it weren't for the Qin army's strict formation, how could the Hezong army suffer such a big loss for no reason.

He only gave the battle order to the generals of the Hezong Army yesterday morning, and the news leaked so quickly that it was unbelievable that the Qin army was able to organize a large-scale ambush array in a short period of time.

The reason why Su Qin announced the battle plan one day in advance was because he considered that the combined column army was a temporary rendezvous after all, and the orders were still not uniform enough, so he left everyone time to prepare. But I didn't expect that people's hearts were difficult to prevent, and there were many people, and the announcement of the general order in advance also left a bane.

By this time, Su Qin had a deeper understanding of the weaknesses and disadvantages of the Combined Column Army. The lack of unity within the army, each with its own evil intentions and its own affairs, has always been the biggest problem in the joint army. Although it has improved through the rectification some time ago, it still refuses to be able to fundamentally eradicate it.

Su Qin thought about it: In fact, isn't the entire Hezong Alliance also like this? The dissent and disagreement within the alliance are just a portrayal of the complex relationship between the alliance itself.

Su Qin nodded, lost in thought, and did not immediately pick up Zhou Shao's words. Zhou Shao continued: "Judging by the last general, our army's battle plan has been completely revealed to the Qin people yesterday, so we have been kept in the dark and in the dark, while the Qin army is in the open, proudly watching our army fall into their trap. ”

Su Qin thought that this was not the case, he bowed his head vigorously, and agreed with Zhou Shao's judgment. He also responded: "It is not easy to lead the army, and it is all because I underestimated the difficulties that may arise, so that the right army fell into an unfavorable situation." ”

"Thanks to the sacrifice of brave soldiers like General Zhou, the army was able to get out of danger. I feel guilty now. ”

Su Qin said, he couldn't help but feel very sad in his heart, he hugged his fist at Zhou Shao, bowed his body, and thanked: "Su Qin is not talented, so that the soldiers are humiliated, I am here to thank General Zhou, and express my deep apologies." ”

Su Qin said sincerely, and his demeanor was sincere and natural enough, Zhou Shao was deeply moved, and he hurriedly replied: "How dare the last general accept this great gift, the prime minister should not be sad, how can there be no casualties in the war since ancient times." ”
