Chapter 295: Moving the Rescuers
The Meng sisters and Zhou Shao had just woken up, and everyone was hazy and sleepy, and they saw Su Qin in full bloom. Meng Ting couldn't help complaining: "Have you eaten tiger blood deer antlers, your spirit is so good, and you don't let people sleep peacefully early in the morning." You rested well last night. ”
Su Qin saw Meng Ting's pretty face and gentle eyes, although it was a word of resentment, but when she said it, it implied concern. Meng Ting has been concentrating on herself for a while, Su Qin has been friends with her for many years, but she has never seen her so affectionate towards her, and she feels a sense of happiness in her heart at the moment.
Su Qin replied: "Of course I want to sleep a little longer, but the matter is urgent, and I can't sleep well." He looked at Meng Ting with eyes that were a little bloodshot from too much thought, and explained.
Meng Ting glanced at Su Qin tenderly, and asked with concern: "Didn't you just become the guest secretary of Qi State, what can you worry about, no matter how tired you are, you have to pay attention to your body." ”
Su Qin smiled helplessly, looked around, and said, "I brought you here to discuss, Qin and Wei are stuck in the battle of Anyi, and I want to hear your opinions." ”
Zhou Shao and the Meng sisters heard that Su Qin had something to discuss, so they listened attentively. Su Qin continued: "In the battle of Anyi, the defeat of the Wei State has appeared, and the Qin people have fought hard and will not give up, I am afraid that Anyi will soon be transferred to the hands of the Qin people." ”
Meng Ting nodded, she was a smart woman and had rich experience, Wei and Qin both had their own personal experience, and their knowledge was naturally extraordinary, she interjected: "No wonder Chen Xu came to Qi State, he must have come to move the rescue troops, right?" ”
Su Qin praised Meng Ting and said, "Sure enough, Ting'er Bingxue is smart, so you can guess it." Chen asked for help from Qi, and the king of Qi, under my persuasion, was ready to borrow 3,000 troops to Wei. ”
Su Qin felt that Meng Ting was smart and cute, so he couldn't help but call her "Ting'er", just like when she was in Quwo City. Meng Ting didn't feel anything out of the ordinary, probably because the two of them had been like this before. But for Meng Di, she felt the intimate relationship between Su Qin and Meng Ting.
Meng Di couldn't help but feel sad, she also admired Su Qin's talent and strategy, and liked to talk and socialize with him, but as an older sister, she felt that it was time for her to withdraw from the two of them.
Zhou Shao is a military general, he doesn't care about the relationship between Su Qin and the Meng sisters at all, he just thinks that Qi Guo took out 3,000 soldiers and horses to save Wei State, which is like child's play.
Therefore, he sneered and said: "The Qi State only borrowed such a small number of men and horses and threw them into the battlefield of hundreds of thousands of people, and it was not a drop of water into the river that disappeared in an instant. Could it be that the King of Qi really thought that the Qi army was a heavenly soldier and a heavenly general, a hundred of them who resisted other countries. ”
Su Qin was also amused by Zhou Shao's words, and he said with a smile: "Of course King Qi is not a fool, he is also dealing with the Wei State by doing this, making a false shot, and selling personal favors." ”
Su Qin's face turned grim again, and said: "But the safety of Anyi of Wei State is actually very related to Zhao State of our country, you imagine that if Anyi falls into the hands of the Qin people, can Jinyang of Zhao State be saved?" ”
When Zhou Shao heard this, he immediately understood Su Qin's worries, and he echoed: "The Qin State and the Zhao State have been at war for many years in the Lishi north of Anyi, but fortunately, thanks to the blockage of the river, the Lishi Fang of the Zhao State can be completed. If Anyi was broken by Qin, Qin would advance northward, and Zhao would be lost. ”
Su Qin nodded and said: "What General Zhou said is true, Hedong County of Wei is the southern barrier of my Zhao State, and the focus of Qin's attack in the past ten years has been concentrated here, and the endless competition with Wei State is to open the passage to the east. Now, how can we sit idly by and watch it fall into the hands of the Qin people! ”
The Meng sisters also heard the seriousness of the situation, Meng Di restrained her thoughts, she was anxious, and then interjected: "Then how do you arrange Prime Minister Su to prevent Qin Guoshun from occupying Anyi?" ”
Su Qin said: "I thought about it for a long time last night, and drafted a letter to Zhao Hou overnight, persuading him to raise 20,000 troops and go to Anyi to support the Wei army. I summoned you here today to discuss, how to give the letter to Zhao Hou? I have decided to go to Anyi immediately, and this time it is difficult to return to Zhao to move troops, and I really lack skills. ”
The Meng sisters looked at each other, they were all sent by Zhao Hou to follow Su Qin, and they were responsible for secretly reporting some information to Zhao Hou.
Clear-eyed people don't need to prompt much, my sister Meng Di took the initiative to speak: "This matter is urgent, I want to go back to Handan in person and persuade my brother-in-law to send troops to save Wei, I don't know what Prime Minister Su thinks?" ”
Meng Di's intention was to find out that her sister Meng Ting and Su Qin had a deep relationship, and she stayed in the embassy and was in an awkward situation, so she deliberately avoided it, so as not to have a dislike between her sisters. Moreover, the task at the moment is very tight, and one of their sisters must report back to Zhao State.
Since you have to leave someone, why don't you take the initiative as a sister?
Su Qin heard Meng Di's reply and looked at her gratefully, he felt that the Meng sisters could understand the righteousness in the interests of the Zhao State and not be constrained by their own interests. Zhao has such sisters to help, which is also a blessing for the country.
He replied movingly, "Very well." Then there's Miss Lao Mengdi, but I'm still not worried about your safety. Su Qin turned to look at Zhou Shao again and said, "Captain Zhou Shao obeys orders. ”
Zhou Shao left the seat, knelt on the ground, and replied: "The last general Zhou Shao is here, please give the prime minister his life." The salute he performed was the etiquette in the army, which can be seen in Zhou Shao's heart, and there is not much difference between this moment and the moment of battle.
Su Qin knew that the situation was pressing, and he had to change his state as soon as possible, and he also ordered in the tone of a military order: "You take a team of people and go back to Handan with Miss Meng Di to protect her safety, and there must be no mistakes." ”
Zhou Shaokou said: "Respect for orders. Su Qin instructed them again: "What we are discussing today is very secret, and we must not leak the slightest rumor." Otherwise, if the Qin State gets this information, not only will the previous achievements be wasted, but even the safety of the soldiers of the Zhao State will be hanging by a thread. ”
The Meng sisters and Zhou Shao both became nervous, and couldn't help but be alert to their surroundings, remembering Su Qin's words.
Due to the urgency of time, Su Qin immediately ordered Zhou Shao to sort out five carriages, take more than 20 soldiers from Zhao Guo to protect Miss Meng Di, and immediately set off to return to Handan.
Su Qin had just arranged for Zhou Shao and the others to set off, and when they returned to the courtyard where they lived with Meng Ting, they found that Chen Xu was already waiting there. Su Qinxin said: "You are really enough to pester, you have found it again so early." ”
Then he thought again: "Isn't it, at this moment, Chen Xu is like a hundred claws scratching his heart, and he is one of the most anxious people in the world." ”
