Han Hou acknowledged the contribution of the princes' soldiers in the battle of Michi, but he was still unsure about his next move. He asked Su Qin: "The widow expects that with the current military strength of South Korea, it is almost impossible to drive away the Qin army in Mianchi. However, the eastern princes repeatedly looked on coldly and did not send reinforcements, which was not a solution after all. ”

When Su Qin heard this, he thought to himself: "This substantive problem can't be bypassed. He secretly scolded those princes for being old foxes, too calculating, and hiding far away from the things that suffered.

They were determined not to sacrifice their own armies and came to the aid of their potential adversaries. Open and covert strife was the norm among the princes, and even the alliance would never eliminate the struggle, but only outwardly bridged the conflict between the princes of the East.

The princes are in a difficult situation to settle the dispute, they are all nominally under this banner for the time being, and the princes want to lose their military power, and they are not willing to do this kind of loss-making business.

Su Qin lowered his head and pondered. Seeing that Su Qin had encountered a critical link, even he seemed difficult to answer, Shen Zhi became anxious again, and really wanted to give him a few more stimulating words!

But with the lesson of being damaged by Su Qin last time, Shen Zhi moved his lips and stopped talking. But he was not convinced, and his eyes glared at Su Qin fiercely.

Su Qin's brain was thinking rapidly at this time, thinking of various methods, and he found that Han Hou and Shen Zhi's eyes were focused on him, and he felt very uncomfortable.

So he stood up and looked out the window. At this time, it is already evening, and the afterglow of the sunset reflects the red sky in the west, and the sunset is crimson, which is very spectacular.

What a brilliant evening scene, if you can take a slow walk around Mingjian Lake at this time, breathe in the cool air, and stretch your body, how pleasant it would be. It's a pity that in the face of this infinite sunset, what he thinks about is an extremely heavy topic.

"One day, if I can get rid of myself and only enjoy the glory and beauty of this moment, I am willing to retreat to the mountains and forests from now on." Su Qin's heart became melancholy.

However, it was this moment of relaxation that a brilliant idea popped into his mind, a reverse path of thought.

Su Qin continued to think about it, the joy in his heart surged up like a tide, and he suddenly had another idea. Su Qin turned his head and looked at Han Hou and Shen Zhi, and found that they were still depressed and sad.

Su Qin didn't say what he thought immediately, he said: "Han Hou came to my mansion, it is an honor for my subjects and others, you see that we are worried, I didn't think of entertaining Han Hou." ”

Han Hou waved his hand and replied, "Su Qing's family doesn't have to be polite, I don't have any appetite at all now, and I can't eat." You don't have to worry about it. ”

Shen Zhi also echoed Han Hou and said: "This kind of trivial matter is insignificant, just let the servants do it, Prime Minister Su Cheng should hurry up and find a way." If I can think of a way to get the princes to increase their troops to relieve Michi, I would rather skip this meal. ”

Su Qin laughed, he said, "If you want to think of a way, you have to eat the rice!" Letting the guests go hungry is not my Su Qin's hospitality. ”

As he spoke, he clapped his palms, and his voice was very crisp. As the sound of applause fell, a person came up from downstairs, he was wearing a dark blue robe, slightly shorter, but very sturdy, and wearing a low flat crown made of silk on his head, this person was Wu Jing.

He saw that Su Qin was very polite to the stranger who came to visit today, and guessed that this person's identity was extraordinary, so he didn't dare to be contemptuous, so he personally waited downstairs and listened to Su Qin's orders.

Wu Jing bowed to Su Qin and asked, "Unknown Prime Minister called me, what are your orders?" ”

Su Qin said to Wu Jing: "I want to entertain distinguished guests tonight, and you arrange for the three of you to eat wine and food." Let the Oiran maids in the garden prepare and toast the guests, so that they can have a good time. ”

Wu Jing arched his hand and said, "No." Then, he retreated and went to arrange a dinner party according to Su Qin's instructions. As soon as Wu Jing left, Han Hou said: "The matter of the dinner is still exempt, how can the widow be in the mood to drink at such a time." ”

Su Qin sat down steadily and replied, "Han Hou is not in the mood now, listen to me later, I think of a good plan, and you will be in a better mood." ”

Shen Zhi had already noticed the smile on Su Qin's face just now, and seeing him calmly arranging the dinner, he sat down with a calm expression, and said in his heart: "He must have a way to deal with it, otherwise how could he be so relaxed." ”

Shen Zhi involuntarily leaned over to Su Qin, and hurriedly asked Su Qin: "We are waiting for Prime Minister Su Cheng's good plan like the stars and the moon, what good plan do you have, hurry up and say it." ”

A smile appeared on Su Qin's face, and he replied: "Before, we all thought about the problem from the perspective of asking the princes to send troops to save Michi, and the request of the princes was almost a pleading, but the fight was to no avail. This is all due to the failure to understand their psychology. ”

Han Hou sighed and asked, "In the opinion of Su Qing's family, what kind of psychology do they have?" ”

Su Qin faced Han Hou directly and said, "It depends on what you think, Han Hou, I hope you can answer my question truthfully." If Wei encounters the invasion of Qin and falls into a crisis, and may be destroyed by the Qin army at any time, Wei asks Han Hou for help, do you save it or not? ”

Han Hou said "oh", and he didn't know how to answer for a while. Out of his heart, of course, he was reluctant to send troops to save Wei, because once a large army was sent to rescue, if the defeat of Wei could not be recovered, then Korea would not only lose its troops, but also offend Qin, wouldn't that be a lose-lose situation?

However, for the sake of the overall situation, he could not say that he would not save himself. Just now, Su Qin also criticized the vassal states for only caring about their own small interests in the near future, and not having a view of the overall situation!

Han Hou hesitated, his eyes looking at Su Qin, wanting to see what kind of answer he wanted.

Su Qin had actually guessed Han Hou's psychological changes, he smiled slightly, and said, "If my guess is right, Han Hou must not want to save the Wei State, because he can't be sure that victory is in his hands, and the risk is extremely high." ”

"You don't have to hide it from me, I just want to get the most truthful answer, and I will never complain about Han Hou."

Han Hou Han Gu heard Su Qin's persuasion, so he nodded lightly and replied, "What Su Qing's family said is good, I will think twice before acting." ”

Su Qin continued: "As the king of a country, Han Hou must of course take the interests of South Korea as the first starting point, this is understandable, I can understand your position and suffering. ”

"However, let's look at it in a different way. When Wei and Qin were at war, Wei had already gained the upper hand, invited Korea to send troops to help, and promised to give Korea appropriate benefits. At that time, will Han Hou send troops to help it? ”

Han Hou didn't have to think about it this time, he nodded vigorously after Su Qin's voice just landed, and replied: "If the situation is as Su Qing's family said, why not do it!" ”

Shen Zhi was looking forward to Su Qin's strategy, and he listened attentively to Su Qin and Han Hou's questions and answers. At this time, Shen Zhi suddenly realized, and he interjected: "If my guess is correct, Prime Minister Su wants to empathize and take advantage of the psychology of the princes to help the rich and not help the poor, and lure them here." ”

Su Qin nodded, sighed and said, "What Doctor Shen expected is not bad at all, and I have no way to do it." In desperation, he came up with this plan to throw bricks and attract jade. Although there is a suspicion of luring and deception, it can relieve the pressure on our army. ”

By this time, Han Hou had already thoroughly understood what Su Qin was thinking, and he also felt that this trick of throwing bricks and attracting jade was perfectly suitable to be used at this time. Han Hou's heart suddenly decreased, and as soon as he was excited, he couldn't help but get up and take Su Qin's hand.

He said: "When it's time to burn your eyebrows, what do you say about luring or not, concealing or not coaxing, as long as we can bring in the princes to rescue the soldiers and save the current crisis, we might as well give it a try." ”

Su Qin was held by Han Hou's hand, and felt a little uncomfortable, because the other party was a dignified prince, if he wasn't anxious and forgetful, how could he come to get close to a subject cordially.

Su Qin thought: "Looking at Han Hou's appearance, you can know the psychology of other princes, as long as it is beneficial to our country, where does it matter whether other countries live or die." What morality, what feelings, when encountering substantial interests, have all become verbal nonsense! ”

Su Qin withdrew his hand slightly, got rid of Han Hou's palm, and then said: "So, now we are sitting here with a sad face and thinking about it, it is better to do the opposite, and pretend to be beaming, so that people think that we have won the battle of Michi and taken a big advantage." In this way, the situation is more favorable to us. ”

Han Hou retreated to his seat and responded, "That's it, that's it." The widow also deeply agrees, we should celebrate! ”

Su Qin saw that Han Hou had listened to his jade plan, and asked with a smile, "Now Han Hou and Doctor Shen are in the mood to drink two glasses of the fine wine I prepared for you, right?" ”

Shen Zhi smiled and replied: "I'm definitely interested in having a few more drinks, Prime Minister Su just arranges it, and I won't stop it." ”

Han Hou also laughed out loud and said, "No wonder Su Qing's family just said that after the widow heard about your plan, his mood will definitely improve, what you said is true, the widow is really happy at the moment." Disturb Su Qing's house tonight and drink in your house. ”

Han Hou looked at Su Qin meaningfully, and said, "Su Qing's family, don't feel sorry for the widow to eat your food and drink your wine. The widow will be recompensated to you twice as much in the future. ”

As he spoke, he thought Coke, and laughed heartily. Su Qin was also infected by Han Hou and Shen Zhi's optimism, and couldn't help but laugh with joy with them. Listening to the hall on the third floor of Fengxuan, Su Qin, Han Hou and Shen Zhi were finally relieved from the extremely gloomy atmosphere, and their loud laughter sounded in the hall.
