Chapter 338: Ending Psychological Warfare
Zhu Li looked at Gao Sheng, and when he saw that he was confused, he said again: "What Su Qin is worried about is that our Qin army is still fighting and fighting harder, compared to their army, they are unwilling to sacrifice their lives to fight again. Imagine, in this case, as soon as the two armies engage in battle, it is not our army that has the advantage? ”
Gao Sheng understood what he was thinking, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up, and said: "The son is smart, and the old minister admires it so much, that's exactly the case." Probably, the more openly our Qin army withdrew, without hesitation and concealment, the more they were afraid and did not dare to pursue. ”
"What Dr. Gao said is extremely true, and it is the same as my thoughts. I'll give the order to evacuate right away. ”
Gao Sheng hurriedly interjected at this time, and said: "The old minister has another request, please agree to it, otherwise, I will not be able to calm my inner turmoil." ”
Zhu Li replied: "If Doctor Gao has any requests, you have made such a great contribution, we should respond to your requests." ”
Gao Sheng's face showed shame, and he said: "What the old minister wants is related to showing merit. Although I have a little meager credit, but after this trip to Anyi, I asked for information from old friends, and it was not very nice to say that I was going to go. ”
Zhu Lijian smiled secretly in his heart, thinking: "This Gao Sheng is still an honest man after all, and he can't stand the name of a spy, so why should we force him." ”
Zhu Liji hurriedly agreed, and replied: "Don't worry, Doctor Gao, I have my own sense of proportion, and I will not embarrass you." ”
Gao Sheng was down-to-earth, he really couldn't afford to betray his relatives and friends, so he didn't hesitate to give up any rewards. I hope that people in the know will not say it, and people will forget that he once went to Anyi City as soon as possible.
Sure enough, the Qin army's movements were very fast, and in the afternoon of the same day, the barracks packed up the swords, spears and instruments with great fanfare, making it gray and foggy. The defenders on the west gate of Anyi City saw the movement in the Qin camp and hurriedly reported the observed situation to the Chinese army tent in the city.
At this time, Su Qin had just inspected the garrison at the south gate, entered the Chinese army's tent and sat down, and he was about to flip through the report documents on several cases, when the guards outside reported loudly and said, "Prime Minister Chen of Wei asks to see the main general." ”
Su Qin answered in the tent. Chen Xu hurriedly walked in, he didn't wait to sit still, he said: "Jizi, the Qin army has made a move, and they suddenly packed up their ordnance, as if the army had moved. ”
Su Qin raised his head in surprise and said, "Prime Minister Chen, don't worry, sit down and speak slowly." ”
Chen Xu walked to the guest seat, took his seat, and then said in detail again: "Just now I heard the message from the Ximen guards, rushed here, and happened to meet them to report to you, so I will simply come in and talk to you myself." There is a new movement in the Qin army. ”
Su Qin looked at Chen Xu and replied, "Did they report what the Qin army intended to do, whether to retreat or to attack the city?" ”
Chen Xu shook his head and said, "The defenders couldn't guess it at all, so they hurried to report it to the city." ”
When Su Qin heard this, he couldn't sit still any longer, he stood up and said, "Let's go to the West Gate to see it in person." ”
As he spoke, he made a gesture to invite Chen Xu to go with him, and the two of them followed each other and hurried to the west gate of Anyi.
After more than half a month of peaceful days in the city of Anyi, now the market has returned to its former prosperity, and the common people have stepped out of their homes to do business and wander around the streets, a scene of ease and peace.
Su Qin urged the horse to run quickly, but it was inevitable that he would be stopped by pedestrians occasionally, he was anxious, and he felt the mood of the people's desire for a peaceful life, as long as the war stopped, people couldn't help but be busy for their livelihood.
What Su Qin is worried about is the resumption of the war in Anyi, so the prosperous market will be in a depression at this moment.
He hardly thought that the Qin army would evacuate urgently, because the reinforcements of the Qin army had not yet arrived in Anyi, how could they leave so swaggeringly? He expected that the Qin army had fewer troops and did not dare to leave the camp rashly. Now, the two sides are actually engaged in a psychological wrestling to test which side is more resilient.
When Su Qin arrived at the tower of the West Gate City, the sun was already setting in the west, but it was still full of brilliance, he covered some of the dazzling light with his hand, and stared into the Qin camp to watch. He looked at it for a long time, and then he noticed that they were busily packing up all kinds of ordnance and equipment, as if they were in the process of a complete renovation.
Su Qin felt that from this move in the Qin camp alone, he couldn't see their true intentions, which was not only like a pre-departure clean-up to evacuate, but also like a pre-war rectification.
Su Qin asked Chen Xudao, who was beside him: "I can't see the truth, I don't know what your judgment is Chen Chengxiang?" ”
Chen Xu also shook his head vigorously and said, "I don't know what to do, it's better for Ji Zi to make up your mind." ”
Su Qin pondered for a moment, and immediately issued an order, asking the defenders of the eastern, southern, western, and northern gates of Anyi City to close the city gates in advance and strengthen their vigilance, and ordered the defenders of the west gate to rotate shifts, constantly monitoring the movements of the Qin camp day and night, and reporting immediately if there was any new discovery.
Chen Xu volunteered, he was one of the most nervous people, for fear that the Qin army would come to attack at night, so he said: "I'll be on duty at the West Gate tonight, Ji Zi, you go back first, I will send someone to call you if there is a situation." ”
Su Qin saw that Chen Xu was actively preparing for war, so he saved a lot of energy, so he followed Chen Xu's suggestion and went back to the Chinese army's tent to wait for news. All night, he lay down in his clothes, and only dared to take a nap in a daze, but until dawn, he did not wait for anyone to come to report.
Seeing that the sky outside the tent was shining, Su Qin rubbed his eyes, got up and stretched, and he wondered in his heart: "Is the Qin army just cleaning the barracks?" Why is there no new movement? ”
Just as he was getting up and washing, a herald came in outside the door to report: "The Qin army has pulled up the tent, as if it is going to evacuate Anyi." ”
When Su Qin heard this, he was shocked, what he didn't expect the most happened just happened, how could the Qin army suddenly evacuate. He didn't even have time to finish washing, so he hurried out of the tent, led an unsaddled horse, and hurried to the west gate of Anyi City.
When he went up to the city tower, he saw that Chen Xu was also eagerly looking at the Qin camp, Su Qin came to his side, Chen Xu turned his head and said to Su Qin eagerly: "Ji Zi, look, it seems that the Qin army is about to evacuate." The siege of Anyi in my Wei State is completely solved. ”
However, Su Qin was not happy at this time, he knew that the Qin army had the upper hand in psychological warfare, and they dared to retreat in order, which was to show that they still did not take the coalition forces seriously.
