Chapter 311: Good and Bad News

Su Qin had broken the elite soldiers of the Qin State led by Xing Meng, beheaded the deputy general of the Qin army, forced Xing Meng to escape, and captured countless Qin troops. The victory in this battle greatly boosted the morale of the Wei army, and they smiled one by one and picked up the items left by the Qin army on the battlefield.

Su Qin and the generals discussed the gains and losses of this battle, and everyone gradually understood the mystery of the Dry Elephant Array he had arranged, and then listened to Zhang Yi's comments, and while admiring Su Qin and Zhang Yi's brothers, they were even more curious about Mr. Guigu's profound learning.

The way of warfare is unpredictable, and it is really difficult to exhaust it, and generation after generation has its own masters of the Tao, and how can a general with ordinary qualifications easily obtain the essence of his way. Ning Jun, Yan Sui, and Chen Xu all trusted Su Qin even more, and they were glad that they followed such a commander-in-chief who was familiar with the art of war and was proficient in arranging formations.

Su Qin led the generals out of Xing Meng's Chinese army tent, and found that hundreds of Qi and Wei allied soldiers had gathered outside the tent, and everyone wanted to see the demeanor of the commander-in-chief of this battle. I saw the heroic and extraordinary Su Qin himself. The soldiers raised their swords in high and shouted in unison: "Long live, victory!" ”

Su Qin was very happy to see the high morale of the soldiers, and he shouted at the soldiers as well: "Long live victory!" Long live Wei Jun! Long live the Qi army! ”

After a while, the soldiers quieted down a little, and Su Qin said loudly: "Today's battle is all thanks to the lives of the three armies, and the soldiers fought bravely to be the first, so they won a big victory over the Qin army. The Qin army was brutal and abnormal, and the fathers and elders suffered greatly from it, and it must be stopped. Otherwise, the world will be in its pocket, and the people will be slaughtered by the Qin army. ”

Su Qin encouraged the soldiers and asked, "It's my generation's responsibility to protect the family and defend the country, isn't it?" If we don't rise up to fight, do we still want our parents and children to fight against the Qin army? ”

Su Qin's words aroused the arrogance of the Wei soldiers, and everyone responded: "Fight bravely, defend the family and defend the country!" ”

Chen Xu looked at the passionate Wei soldiers, and also applauded excitedly, shouting loudly: "Defend the family and defend the country!" After that, he gave Su Qin a thumbs up, admiring Su Qin's morale-encouraging behavior in his heart.

However, in fact, Su Qin's heart at this time was not completely overwhelmed by the joy of victory. He knew very well that defeating the more than 10,000 Qin troops led by Xing Meng was only a small victory, and it was only a beginning. More than 100,000 Qin troops are still besieging Anyi City, and once those Qin troops are all engaged in a decisive battle with reinforcements, the pressure on reinforcements will double.

At present, Su Qin is still not worried about whether Zhao Hou and Zhao Yu can agree to send troops to rescue Anyi, if Zhao's reinforcements do not arrive, then the situation in Anyi is still precarious.

With both relief and apprehension, Su Qin and the others returned to Linyun City. He said goodbye to the generals, and as soon as he arrived at his Chinese army tent, he found Meng Ting waiting for him in the tent, she couldn't help but smile with joy, her lips were like peach blossoms, and her eyebrows and eyes were affectionate. It seems that he is also really happy about the victory won by Su Qin's army.

After Su Qin came back, Meng Ting greeted him and gently removed his armor for him and wiped the dust off his robe. After that, the two sat down together, and Su Qin instructed the guards to prepare the meal and rest in the tent with Meng Ting for a while.

Su Qin's joy at this time had long passed, but there was sorrow on his face, Meng Ting saw it in her eyes, she didn't know what she was worried about, and asked with concern: "I don't know what Ji Zi has on his mind, why is his face sad after winning?" ”

Su Qin looked at Meng Ting, and found that he had made his beloved woman frightened, and his heart was unbearable and moved, he reached out and took Meng Ting into his arms, and gently hugged her soft body.

Meng Ting flickered her thin thin long eyelashes, lying in Su Qin's arms, raising her eyes to look at Su Qin, her eyes full of concern. Su Qin thought for a while and replied: "Ting'er doesn't know, although we won this time, there is no fundamental damage to the Qin army, and the main force of the Qin army is still there." The outcome is still unknown. ”

Meng Ting touched Su Qin's hand, and continued to ask with some anxiety: "Then what should we do, we won't wait in Linyun City and let the Qin army attack." ”

Su Qin nodded, with approval in his eyes. He said: "Ting'er is really smart, she has the tenderness of her daughter, and she understands political and war affairs. Even I, Su Qin, a man, can't help but obey you. ”

Meng Ting was praised by the person she liked, and her heart was happy, she continued to stroke Su Qin's hand, and said modestly: "Although I know some truths, if you want to talk about the arrangement of troops and command on the battlefield, you still have to be a man like you who stands up to the sky and dares to act." It's a pity if I could help you with anything. ”

Su Qin heard that Meng Ting was willing to help him, he stared at Meng Ting's delicate and beautiful face, and wanted to say something, but he stopped talking, and let out two "um" and "ah" sounds.

What a smart woman Meng Ting was, as soon as she looked at Su Qin's eyes, she knew that Su Qin might have something to ask for her. Meng Ting said resolutely: "Ji Zi can say whatever he wants, why do you want to spit it out." What else can't be said between the two of us? ”

Su Qin finally made up his mind and said, "Since Ting'er doesn't give up, I, Su Qin, will also say it directly." What I'm worried about now is that Zhao's reinforcements will be delayed, and if the main force of the Qin army is transferred to Linyun City, I am afraid that the tide of the battle will be reversed. ”

Meng Ting nodded and touched Su Qin's face, she already understood what Su Qin wanted to ask for herself. She was determined to share Su Qin's worries, and said: "If I guessed correctly, Ji Zi wants me to go back to Handan to listen to the movements of Zhao's reinforcements." ”

Su Qin listened to Meng Ting's words and stared at her eyes with emotion, revealing a little affection and helplessness in his eyes. Then, Su Qin sighed and said, "I also know that it is very inappropriate for Lu Dao to do this, after all, you are sent by Zhao Hou to supervise me, this is not your business at all, and it will also make you lose trust in front of Zhao Hou." ”

Su Qin said, his face flushed, and he lowered his head in shame. Meng Ting raised Su Qin's chin with her hand, the two looked at each other, and Su Qin noticed that Meng Ting's expression was resolute.

She stared at Su Qin's face and said word by word: "Ji Zi is too worried, since I follow you, I am willing to share your worries." The current situation is so urgent, what if I go back to Handan? After all, the situation in Zhao has a great deal to do with the victory or defeat of the Battle of Anyi, and it is worth it for me to take a trip for both public and private purposes. ”

When Su Qin heard Meng Ting's words, he felt sincere and warm affection in his heart, he hugged Meng Ting more closely, and said, "Ting'er is really my beloved, where can I give up you." ”

Meng Ting was also emotional, and both of them were submerged by the waves of love and fell into a long-term love and warmth.

On the second day after the victory, the combined forces of Qi and Wei rested in Linyun City, and Su Qin ordered the generals of all walks of life to strictly supervise the training of soldiers in preparation for more difficult battles, and not allow them to delay in the joy of victory.

At the same time, he also sent Wu Jing to escort Meng Ting in the direction of Handan to urge Zhao's reinforcements. Su Qin bid farewell to Meng Ting at the east gate of Linyun City, and watched her leave, unwilling to return for a long time. It wasn't until the carriage that Meng Ting was riding disappeared without a trace that he turned back to the camp.

As soon as Su Qin approached his big tent, he saw Chen Xu rubbing his hands together, with a sad face on his face, moving around in front of the big tent of the Chinese army. When he saw Su Qin returning, he stepped forward and grabbed Su Qin's hand, and said anxiously: "It's time for Prime Minister Su Cheng, let's go into the big tent quickly, I have something important to negotiate with you." ”

Su Qin saw Chen Xu's eager expression, and knew that what he had encountered must be not small, otherwise, he had just won, how could he have to celebrate for a few days, how could he turn into sorrow in such a hurry.

Su Qin hurriedly took Chen Xu and entered the Chinese army's tent together. After Chen Xu entered, he deliberately sent away a guard who was packing up his belongings in the tent, and looked around carefully, and found that there was no one around, so he sat down and said:

"I have two news here, one good and one bad, the good news is also amazing, and the bad news is also terrifying, I don't know which one Prime Minister Su wants to listen to first?"

Su Qin tried his best to suppress his emotions and not let it fluctuate with Chen Xu's rhythm, he calmed down and said unhurriedly: "There is good news, of course I am willing to listen to it first." He deliberately put the good news in front of him to listen, but also to comfort Chen Xu, hoping to calm him down.

Chen Xu replied: "The good news is that I asked the king of my country for the credit of Prime Minister Su Cheng, and the king of my country gave Prime Minister Su 3,000 gold in order to reward the prime minister. The generals who participated in the war were rewarded with money and goods according to the size of their merits. ”

Su Qin chuckled lightly and said, "Then I thank King Wei for his generous reward, a small victory is not enough to deserve this generous reward." "Actually, Su Qin didn't care very much about this reward, after all, Zhao Hou and Zhao Yu's reward back then didn't know how many times more than this.

Seeing that the reward of the King of Wei did not move Su Qin's heart, Chen Xu went on to say another reward, saying: "The king of our country not only rewarded 3,000 gold, but also appointed Prime Minister Su Cheng as the 'guest minister' of the Wei State, which is equivalent to your reward in the Yan State. The king specially instructed that if Prime Minister Su accepted the title of 'guest minister' of Wei, he would hand over the military command of the Battle of Anyi to Prime Minister Su Cheng, and be fully responsible for the Battle of Anyi. ”

When Su Qin heard this, he let out an "ah" happily and almost jumped up. He suppressed his excitement, bowed to Chen Xu, and said: "Then I really want to thank King Wei for the gift, with this seal, I can command the troops more handy." ”

At the same time, Su Qin also secretly blamed Chen Xu in his heart, and said in his heart: "This guest seal is much heavier than the reward of three thousand gold for me, and you Chen Xu is not ignorant of the Tao, so I will talk about it later." ”

But Su Qin turned to Chen Xu's usual subtle style, and his heart was relieved. This gift came too timely, and Su Qin was worried that he would not be able to fully mobilize the defenders in Anyi City and the Wei army in Linyun City. If that happens, it will undoubtedly greatly weaken the initiative of the coalition forces in combat.
