Chapter 21: Contingency
Wei Wei held Su Qin's hand with a very eager expression. Su Qin also held Wei Wei's hand tightly, comforting him while telling Wei Wei the ins and outs of the matter, bit by bit.
He also deliberately described how Wei Jia's sisters and brothers cried and were very excited when they heard the news of their father.
Wei Wei listened very carefully, for fear of missing a word. After listening to this, he cried again, "woo, woo, woo", and he didn't care whether the guards outside the Chinese army's tent heard it.
Wei Wei cried while lying on the ground, kept kowtowing to Su Qin, and said, "If it weren't for Mr. Su's success this time, the old man would probably not see his relatives until he died." Please Mr. Su to bow to the old man. ”
Su Qin hurriedly stood up, picked up Wei Wei, and said, "The general's loyalty can be learned from heaven and earth, and the general's grievances are even more touching. You deserve it. How dare Su Qin be greedy. ”
Su Qin told Wei Wei about buying a music and dance class again, mixed Wei Jia's sister and brother into it, and brought them back to Qin without knowing it. When Wei Wei heard this, he patted his thighs with both hands, and even said that he would not do it.
Wei Wei's heart experienced a great joy, although he calmed down for a while, he seemed to be reborn in spirit, only to see that his whole mood was suddenly much more optimistic, and his expression was no longer as serious and cold as before.
Su Qin's trip to Quwo was far more than expected, and Wei Wei was very satisfied. However, Su Qin always concealed his acquaintance with Meng Ting, let alone the love of the two.
He felt the need to tell Wei Wei, and at the same time, it was difficult to speak, worried that Wei Wei would think he was frivolous.
Su Qin privately planned to take Meng Ting away with him while he was buying a music and dance class, and at this time, he saw that Wei Wei agreed with his idea very much, and he became more optimistic, and he had the confidence to take his beloved woman with him.
Su Qin then asked Wei Wei about Gongsun Yan's movements, and Wei Wei said angrily: "Gongsun Yan is eager to seek merit, and for several days, he has been urging me to attack Quwo, but I have rejected him on the grounds that his military situation is unknown. It seems that he has to attack Quwo before he gives up. ”
"Gongsun Yan is mean and ruthless, eager for profit, and does not cry when he sees the coffin. In this way, it is really difficult to move him. Su Qin became worried.
Wei Wei also agreed with Su Qin's opinion, and the two scolded Gongsun Yan in private. After that, Wei Wei arranged for Su Qin to return to the camp tent to rest.
Su Qin was not in the camp tent for two days, and Wei Wei, as the commander of the Qin camp, was not difficult to cover up, he ordered that no one should be allowed to get close to Su Qin's camp for half a step, and he personally went to inspect twice a day.
Before Su Qin said goodbye to Wei Wei and returned to the tent, Wei Wei ordered the soldiers who supervised Su Qin's camp to withdraw. Su Qin then quietly returned there, and everything was gone without a trace.
Wei Wei arranged two shifts of people to take care of Su Qin, obviously to take care of Su Qin, but secretly to guard against Gongsun Yan and Gao Sheng. Therefore, the two of them had no idea that Su Qin had entered Quwo City at night, and they had been kept in the dark.
In the next few days, according to Su Qin's intelligence, Wei Wei sent his own personal follower Ning Jun to quietly monitor Gongsun Yan, and ordered Ning Jun to pay special attention to whether outsiders came to visit Gongsun Yan, and report to him at any time if he found a new situation.
Ning Jun was awarded the title of the right chief of the Qin State, ranking eleventh in the twentieth grade, and he was a personal soldier brought by Wei Wei from the Wei State back then, so Wei Wei had special trust in him.
Sure enough, on the morning of the third day, a somewhat shabby dressed scholar came from outside the Qin military camp, tall and thin, with a proud expression, claiming to be the deceased of Gongsun Yan, holding a prayer note in his hand, asking to see Gongsun Yan.
After Ning Jun heard the news, he immediately went to investigate, and immediately reported to Wei Wei after verification. Wei Wei immediately ordered: If Gongsun Yan agreed to meet with the comers, the guards of the camp would let them go all the way.
Ning Jun observed the movement at the gate of the village, and found that Gongsun Yan's relatives hurriedly ran to the entrance of the village, and shouted and cheered at the visitor, and the face of the person who came was so angry that his face turned green, and he turned around and left angrily.
Ning Jun reported the situation to Wei Wei, and Wei Wei said in his heart: "The big thing is not good, Gongsun Yan can't be set, how can this be good?" ”
The situation changed, Wei Wei was anxious, and he ordered Ning Jun to immediately summon Su Qin to come to the Chinese army's big tent.
Su Qin hurriedly came to the big tent of the Chinese army, and when he saw Wei Wei's face was pale, he had already guessed that things were not going well. Gongsun Yan was by no means an incompetent person to deal with, and he and Wei Wei had been too optimistic before.
At this moment, Wei Wei can be said to be so anxious that he burns like fire. Ever since he learned that his children were in Quwo City, he had seen that his children's mood was extremely urgent, and their behavior and demeanor could not be as calm as before.
Seeing Su Qin's arrival, Wei Wei opened Ning Jun, grabbed Su Qin's hand and asked him to sit down. told Su Qin: "I didn't expect Gongsun Yan to attack Quwo this time and make a contribution to Qin Jun." The friend sent by the Wei State, he never saw him back, and scolded his friend and ran away. ”
When Su Qin first came back, he heard Wei Wei say that Gongsun Yan was eager to attack the city, and he had vaguely guessed this situation, and now it has come true. He is not an all-powerful God, and there is nothing he can do about it.
He stabilized his mind and comforted Wei Wei: "General, don't worry, let me think of a way to see how to make Gongsun Yan comply." ”
"If Gongsun Yan can't take the bait, the next step of the plan will not be able to continue. Is there any way for Mr. Su to make Gongsun Yan obedient, otherwise, everything will be over. ”
Su Qin didn't have a clue, and both of them fell into silence. After a while, Wei Wei raised his eyes and looked into the distance, his eyes were fierce, and said, "Gongsun Yan is so uninteresting, it seems that we have to give him an unusual trick." ”
Su Qin noticed Wei Wei's gaze, feeling that he was like a different person, and he hurriedly asked, "General Wei has any tricks to make Gongsun Yan obedient." ”
"No poison, no husband, Gongsun Yan is in the way like this, let's make a plan and get rid of him." Wei Wei said word by word, revealing a ruthlessness.
Su Qin sensed Wei Wei's determination and asked uneasily, "I don't know what the plan is, can the general tell me?" ”
Wei Wei found that his words had frightened Su Qin, and he restrained his expression a little, and his tone softened a little. said: "Actually, it's very simple, isn't Gongsun Yan in a hurry to attack Quwo City?" I let him attack, lay down the assassin in the shadows, and kill the fang in one fell swoop. completely broke his dream of meritorious service. ”
Su Qin completely understood Wei Wei's plan, and could see that Wei Wei was really anxious, and even scolding words like "this fang" could come out of his mouth, changing his steadiness in the past.
Su Qin felt that this was not a bad idea. However, he thought again: "Just by killing Gongsun Yan, can Qin Jun order the army to be stopped?" Wouldn't he send another lieutenant general to replace Gongsun Yan? If things get to that point, I'm afraid it's even harder. ”
Thinking of this, Su Qin said: "The general's plan is indeed effective. But can we be a little more thoughtful? ”
Wei Wei stared at Su Qin, saw that he was considerate, and asked, "Sir must have thought of a better way, let's hear it." ”
Su Qin replied: "We might as well keep Gongsun Yan alive and force him to join him." It is still based on the general's plan, coupled with the cooperation of the Quwo defenders, this matter will definitely succeed. ”
Wei Wei craned his ears, eager to hear Su Qin's proposition. From beginning to end, Su Qin told Wei Wei about his plan:
Su Qin suggested that he send Gongsun Yan to attack the city because of the situation, but he did something to the men and horses and the weapons assigned to him, so that he was defeated.
If the defenders in Quwo City also gave strength, they lured Gongsun Yan to the city, captured him alive, forced him to sign a withdrawal agreement on the one hand, and gave him some money on the other hand, so soft and hard, how could he not be obedient!
Wei Wei listened to Su Qin's words, stretched out his thumb, and praised Su Qin's first-class adaptability.
"I'm just perfecting your strategy, general, or the general is wise." Su Qin didn't dare to be greedy.
However, there is still a hidden worry, that is, will Quwo's defenders be able to catch Gongsun Yan by then?
