Chapter 297: Linzi Northern Army
King Qi felt that this was too unwavering, and he thought that Su Qin had made some strange moves. He let out an "oh", as if muttering to himself: "It's so easy, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it......"
Of course, Su Qin concealed some details, such as his promise that Chen needed to ask Zhao for help, and so on, although the King of Qi did not necessarily object to these details after hearing them, but it was better not to let him know the Tao, so that the King of Qi would inevitably feel that Su Qin was pro-Zhao and despised Qi.
Since getting the position of prime minister of Zhao State, Su Qin has traveled between different countries, shuttling diplomacy and mediating from all sides, and deeply feels that his words must be measured:
The same word should be spoken differently in different kings; The same event revealed different amounts of information from different monarchs to different levels.
This is the most fundamental rule of diplomatic liaison, forming alliances with princes, and lobbying the Quartet, and if you violate this law, I am afraid that you will not only fail to convince the princes, but you may immediately incur the disaster of death.
The matter of indulgence involves a very wide range of affairs, and the affairs are complicated, and unless you have a master who has been honed for a long time, where will you have a calm and comfortable situation. The scenery seems infinite to others, but for the people in it, there are dangers and opportunities everywhere.
However, back then, Mr. Guigu had high hopes for him and Zhang Yi'er to give him and Zhang Yi'er guidance, didn't he just want them to take advantage of the fire and achieve their achievements in life? To write a legendary life, you have to take risks that ordinary people can't bear and put in more effort.
Seeing that King Qi was a little interested, Su Qin smiled secretly in his heart, but he didn't pay attention to it, he had more important things to discuss with King Qi. Su Qin said: "In order to let Chen Xu leave, I promised to bring him to see the king at an appropriate time, and I also promised to personally lead the three thousand men and horses of the Qi State to Anyi, and he felt at ease. ”
King Qi nodded, regained some interest a little, and replied, "As long as he doesn't hold on to the widow, the widow is willing to meet this difficult man and see if he has any fresher tricks." ”
King Qi praised Su Qin again: "Su Qing's family also took a lot of effort, on the one hand, you told him that Qi was not available, and it was a refusal, and on the other hand, you gave him some sweetness and promised to go to Quwo in person." The combination of the two means, then Chen Xu naturally has nothing to say. ”
Su Qin knew that Qi Wangtian was curious, but he was not stupid, and what he said just now was also reasonable and reasonable. He hurriedly thanked King Qi: "It is within the duty of Weichen to share the worries of the king. ”
King Qi stroked the beard on his chin, thought for a moment, and said, "Then you can bring Chen Xu to see the widow tomorrow morning." The widow met him during the interval, and it was a good excuse that there was state affairs immediately after, so that he could not stay for a long time. ”
When Su Qin heard this, he pursed his lips and secretly laughed, and said in his heart: "This King of Qi is afraid that Chen Xu will be entangled to a certain extent, so he actually came up with such an idea in advance to deal with Chen Xu. But he couldn't bear to see Chen Xu, and his heart was still entangled. ”
King Qi said the way to see Chen Xu, he couldn't help but be proud of his cleverness, and then looked at Su Qin, and found that he wanted to laugh or not, King Qi couldn't help laughing out loud first, the two looked at each other for a moment, and each other couldn't help laughing.
The king of Qi remembered the matter of lending the soldiers of the Wei State, and said: "I have already issued an edict to Yan Sui yesterday, asking him to select 3,000 soldiers from the garrison north of Linzi City, and wait for the dispatch, you can go to the northern army to find him at any time." ”
When Su Qin heard this, he thought to himself: "King Qi is really positive enough, he gave the order so quickly. However, he didn't feel strange when he thought that King Qi was in a hurry to send Chen Xu away.
Su Qin replied: "Weichen thanked the king, said goodbye to the king for a while, and immediately went to Yan Sui to discuss with him about sending troops." ”
King Qi thought for a while, his face turned solemn, and he said: "Although our country sent fewer soldiers this time, we can't let it go and let it be dispatched by Wei. The safety of these people is also not assured. What is the best way for the Su Qing family to ensure their safety? ”
After hearing this, Su Qin thought that it was normal for the King of Qi to worry, because after all, these people were the people of the Qi country, and if he was killed or injured on the battlefield of Anyi, he, the monarch, would not only have an ugly face, but also how could he explain it to the people.
Su Qin had already considered this, how could he bear to let these three thousand soldiers go and never return. He replied: "The king can rest assured, Weichen and Yan Sui will not fight to the death with the Qin army like the Wei people. The ruthlessness of the Qin army, Wei Chen knows it very well. ”
In order to dispel Qi Wangtian's doubts about the frontier, Su Qin further explained: "We will deal with it with ingenuity and maneuver between Qin and Wei. If the situation is not good, withdraw to Qi in time to avoid heavy losses. ”
When the King of Qi heard Su Qin's consideration, his face softened slightly, and he said: "Su Qing's family has such an idea, so the widow is a lot more relieved, I am deeply afraid that the Wei State will finally be defeated in Anyi, and I will take the three thousand soldiers of my Qi State in vain." ”
Su Qin suddenly thought that the King of Qi was in a hurry to give Yan Sui an edict, and he guessed: The King of Qi must have instructed Yan Sui in advance, asking him to act at the right time to ensure the safety of the Qi army. However, this was no different from his own thoughts, and Su Qin didn't care.
Su Qin and the King of Qi agreed on the time to meet Chen the next day, as well as the details of sending troops into Wei, after that, he bid farewell to the King of Qi and turned to the northern army garrison outside Linzi City.
The garrison of the northern army was on a high hill less than two miles away from the city, and a wall about three zhang high was built with rammed earth, and flags were planted on it, and the flags were painted with tigers, wolves, lions, leopards, and other patterns, which were displayed in the wind. The entire military camp is located in the north of Linzi City, overlooking the entire city, symbolizing the majesty and power of the king. This is the largest military camp in Linzi City, more than double the number of people in the southern army outside the southern city.
Since ancient times, the gate of the north city is the gate for the army to enter and exit, taking the meaning of "Xuanwu" in the north. The green dragon, the red bird, and the white tiger are ranked in the east, south, and west. The Northern Army not only protects the safety of Linzi City, but also the place where Qi troops are stationed, whenever there is a war, the Northern Army is bound to mobilize elite soldiers and rush to the battlefield.
Su Qin arrived at the gate of the barracks, showed the seal of the Red Tiger handed over by Qi Wangtian, the soldiers guarding the camp opened the camp door, and Su Qin's carriage slowly marched into the camp of the Northern Army.
Su Qin specially instructed the coachman to maintain the speed of the carriage and not to hurry, because the disciplined general never forbade horses and vehicles to gallop in the camp, which would undoubtedly be a failure for the self-defeat. In military combat, steady and orderly is the primary rule.
Only when the enemy attacks the camp will there be commotion in the camp, and whether or not order in the army can be maintained in the face of chaos depends entirely on the insufficient training of the troops on weekdays. If the effort is sufficient, then it will naturally be chaotic and will not mess with itself, and the enemy will simply have no chance to take advantage of it.
