The headquarters of the Wei army was in a large courtyard in the center of Quwo City. When I came to the gate of the hospital, it was close to the early hours of the morning.

The guard woke up the sleepy-eyed garrison guard, and said loudly: "General Chen Zhi has something important to see, you quickly communicate to the main general, General Chen Xu." ”

The guard was very unhappy and whispered: "What kind of urgent military situation, can't you talk about it at dawn?" ”

Su Qin thought to himself: "It turns out that the name of the general guarding the city in front of me is Chen Zhi, his surname is Chen, I don't know what the relationship is with Chen Xu?" ”

I saw Chen Zhi's eyes widened, and he said angrily: "Can I tell you about any military situation?" Hurry up and get through, otherwise you will be responsible for delaying the military plane. ”

The guard saw that Chen Zhi was anxious, and his heart was stunned, so he rubbed his eyes and went into the courtyard to report. It didn't take long for him to run out, followed by a middle-aged man, of medium height, thin, and in a hurry, and his clothes were not buttoned up.

The guard came to the door and reported to Chen Zhi: "The main general has invited General Chen Zhi, and he has personally come out to greet you." This time his expression was respectful.

Chen Zhi escorted Su Qin into the courtyard, and the middle-aged man in a long robe stepped forward, held his hand, and asked warmly: "Second brother has worked hard, please come to the hall quickly." ”

As he spoke, he took Chen Zhi's hand and came to a spacious hall, where there were knives, swords, spears, halberds and other blades on both sides of the hall, and tokens and other things were placed on several cases.

Chen Zhi reported to Chen Xu: "I patrolled the city last night and caught a spy of the Qin army, and the military situation was urgent, so I took him to my brother for interrogation overnight. ”

Chen Xu patted Chen Zhi on the shoulder and praised with satisfaction: "The second brother is wise and brave, and he has worked tirelessly, and the foolish brother Xie Lu has thanked you." ”

Chen Zhi was quite proud of his "results", his expression was extremely proud, but he still said modestly: "Where, where, it's just luck." He ordered the soldiers to escort Su Qin in.

When Su Qin came to the hall, the first thing he saw was Chen Zhen's smug expression, and he smiled secretly in his heart. He seized the opportunity and said loudly: "I'm not a spy of the Qin army, I'm not even a Qin countryman, I ventured here tonight to discuss important things with General Chen Xu." ”

Chen Zhi glanced at Su Qin and shouted disdainfully, "You can have something important, but you are just a sneaky thief." I'm still pretending to be a ghost. ”

Su Qin didn't care about Chen Zhen's shouting at all, and continued to say to Chen Xu:

"The reason why I pretended to be a Qin soldier was that they wanted them to take me to see General Chen, please don't doubt it. You can remove the people around you, and I'll say a few words to you alone. ”

Chen Xu looked at Su Qin with a questioning expression. Chen Zhi couldn't hold it back, drew his sword and pointed at Su Qin, and shouted: "What tricks do you still have to play, let's withdraw the people, do you want to plot against the main general!" ”

Su Qin faced Chen Zhen's sword without fear. argued: "I am now bound up strongly, what is General Chen Xu worried about?" The reason why I want to speak to the general alone is only because this matter is so important that I have to talk to the general alone. ”

He calmly said again: "Besides, I only said three words to the general, and then I will kill and scrape, and listen to it." ”

Chen Xu looked at Chen Zhen, then looked at Su Qin, thought for a moment, he thought: "Forgive him for being bound all over, and I can't help it." ”

Chen Xu decided to give Su Qin a chance. However, he specially asked Chen Zhi to stay just in case. All other personnel will be withdrawn.

Su Qin was a little unhappy when he saw that Chen needed to leave Chen Zhi, but he thought that the two of them were brothers, and it should not be a big problem. Therefore, he calmly said: "Doesn't the general want the Wei army to give up the siege of the city without spending a single soldier? I have a brilliant plan here to make the general calmly retreat from the Qin army. ”

When Chen Xu heard Su Qin's words, he obviously couldn't believe it, and glared at him in surprise. He had been unable to sleep for several months since the Qin army besieged the city, but fortunately the strong walls of Quwo were not breached by the Qin army. Didn't he think about it day and night that the Qin army couldn't hold on and retreated first. However, will it come as easily as Su Qin said?

Chen Xu shook his head. However, what Su Qin said was too tempting, and Chen couldn't help but wonder what Su Qin's plan was.

Therefore, he tried to appear understated, and replied: "What I think about day and night is to force the Qin army back, what plan can Mr. have, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Su Qin saw that his words had whetted Chen Xu's appetite, and smiled with satisfaction, this was the key first step to convince others, and he had to raise the other party's interest before he could do it.

He continued unhurriedly: "I was invited here by Wei Weizhi, the commander of the Qin army. Wei Wei has a deep affection for his ancestral country and is unwilling to attack Quwo again. ”

When Chen Xu heard that Wei Wei intended to give up the siege, he let out an "ah" in surprise, and his spirits were lifted.

Su Qin's tone became solemn again, and then said: "Wei Wei is afraid that the deputy general Gongsun Yan will not agree to withdraw the troops, and Gongsun Yan is greedy, so if Wei is willing to spend a lot of money to buy him, and the main general and deputy general of the Qin army agree to withdraw the troops, won't the siege of Quwo be lifted?" ”

Chen Zhi felt that Su Qin's words were a little out of bounds, how could such a difficult crisis be resolved so easily.

He sneered: "You are sent by the Qin State to confuse us, let's bribe the generals of the Qin State, if you still do not withdraw your troops in the future, won't the Wei State lose money and lose the city." The Qin army killed two birds with one stone. ”

Chen Xu's eyes lit up, he obviously had something else in mind, and said, "Sir, who are you, why did you take the risk to come to help our Wei State?" ”

Su Qin was very dissatisfied with Chen Zhen's stubbornness, and said in his heart: If everyone doesn't think deeply like you, then what else can it do? He has a good impression of the elegant Chen Xu.

Su Qin continued: "I am from Luoyang, Eastern Zhou, surnamed Su Qin, it is a coincidence that I came here this time, it is a long story, I will talk about it in detail in the future." What I said just now is absolutely true, and I ask General Chen not to be suspicious and miss the opportune moment. ”

He said firmly: "Even if this matter is not successful, what Wei has lost is only a little money; If you succeed and General Chen makes a miraculous achievement, won't King Wei want to reward you again? ”

Chen Zhi still shook his head, but his brother Chen Xu seemed to see the spark of hope in the dark night. He stepped forward to hold Su Qin's arm and said, "It turned out to be Mr. Guigu's high-footed brother Su Qin, I have heard people talk about you a long time ago, I am really rude." ”

Chen Zhi was still questioning, sneering in his mouth as a sign of cynicism. Chen Xu turned around and waved at him, signaling him to stop making trouble.

Su Qin didn't expect Chen Xu to know his name, he was a little surprised, and he was overjoyed. Chen Xu personally untied Su Qin and invited him to sit on the seat.

Su Qin sat down unceremoniously, Chen Zhi squinted at Su Qin's grinning appearance, very dissatisfied, and sat down angrily, and said in his heart: "What are you proud of being a prisoner, or my brother is credulous to you, can you survive today?" ”

Chen Zhi had already seen Chen Zhi's anger, but there was another hidden meaning in this matter, Chen Zhi didn't know that at this moment, he already had an idea in his heart. He then chatted with Su Qin about gossip, and then said that Su Qin and Chen Zhi had worked hard all night and needed to rest as soon as possible.

Chen needed to settle Su Qin and Chen Zhi to rest in the two wings of the Chinese army compound, but Chen Zhi did not want to stay here longer, so he said goodbye and returned to his residence.

Su Qinke did as he pleased, and his heart was steady, and at this time, the sky was already dark. When Su Qin arrived in the wing, he fell asleep on the bed, and slept until noon.
