21. Chapter 21 Strain(1/2)
Wei Han held Su Qin's hand with a very anxious expression. Su Qin also held Wei Han's hand tightly, comforting him and telling Wei Han the whole story bit by bit.
He also specifically described how the Wei Jia siblings cried bitterly and were extremely excited when they heard the news about their father.
Wei Xun listened very carefully, for fear of missing a word. After listening, he started crying "woo, woo, woo" again, not caring whether the guards outside the Chinese army tent heard it.
Wei Xun was crying, lying on the ground, kowtowing to Su Qin, and said: "If Mr. Su hadn't made it happen this time, I might not have seen my relatives until my death. Please accept me, Mr. Su, to pay my respects."
Su Qin hurriedly stood up, helped Wei Xuan up, and said: "The general's loyalty is a lesson to heaven and earth, and the general's injustice is even more touching to God. You deserve this. How dare Su Qin be greedy for credit?"
Su Qin also told Wei Xun about buying a music and dance class, mixed Wei Jia and his sister into it, and brought them back to Qin State without anyone noticing. When Wei Xun heard this, he clapped his thighs with both hands and refused.
Wei Xuan's heart experienced a great joy. Although he calmed down for a while, he seemed to be mentally reborn. His whole mood suddenly became much more optimistic, and his expression was no longer as serious and cold as before.
Su Qin's trip to Quwo was more fruitful than expected, and Wei Xuan was very satisfied. However, Su Qin concealed his acquaintance with Meng Ting from beginning to end, let alone their love affair with each other.
He felt there was no need to tell Wei Xuan, and at the same time it was difficult for him to do so, fearing that Wei Xuan would think him frivolous.
Su Qin secretly planned to take Meng Ting away while buying a music and dance class. At this time, he saw that Wei Xuan agreed with his idea, and he became more optimistic and confident to take his beloved woman with him.
Su Qin then asked Wei Yan about Gongsun Yan's movements. Wei Yan said angrily: "Gongsun Yan is very eager to win. In recent days, he has been urging me to attack Quwo, but I have always refused him because I don't know the military situation. It seems that he insists on attacking.
It took Quwo a while to give up."
"Gongsun Yan is mean and ruthless, eager for profit, and will not shed tears until he sees the coffin. From this point of view, it is really difficult to persuade him." Su Qin became worried.
Wei Xun also agreed with Su Qin's view, and the two cursed Gongsun Yan privately. After that, Wei Xun arranged for Su Qin to return to the camp to rest.
Su Qin was not in the camp for two days. As the commander of Qin's camp, it was not difficult for Wei Xun to cover it up. He ordered that no one should be allowed to get even half a step closer to Su Qin's camp, and he personally inspected it twice a day.
Before Su Qin bid farewell to Wei Yan and returned to his tent, Wei Yan sent an order to the soldiers supervising Su Qin's camp to withdraw. Su Qin then quietly returned there without leaving any trace.
Wei Xuan arranged for two teams of people to guard Su Qin, obviously to guard Su Qin, but secretly to guard against Gongsun Yan and Gao Sheng. Therefore, the two of them had no idea that Su Qin entered Quwo City at night, and they were kept in the dark.
In the next few days, based on Su Qin's intelligence, Wei Yan sent his own personal follower Ning Jun to quietly monitor Gongsun Yan, and ordered Ning Jun to pay special attention to whether any outsiders came to visit Gongsun Yan, and to report to him any new situation he discovered.
Ning Jun was awarded the title of Right Concubine of the Qin State, ranking eleventh among the twenty ranks. He was the personal soldier that Wei Han brought from the Wei State, so Wei Han had special trust in him.
Sure enough, on the morning of the third day, a scholar with a somewhat shabby dress came outside the Qin army camp. He was tall, thin and had an arrogant expression. He claimed to be an old friend of Gongsun Yan. He held a greeting card in his hand and asked to see Gongsun Yan.
After Ning Jun heard the news, he immediately went to investigate, and after verification, he immediately reported it to Wei Yan. Wei Yan immediately ordered that if Gongsun Yan agreed to meet the visitor, the guards of the camp would let him go.
Ning Jun was observing the movement at the entrance of the village, and found that Gongsun Yan's personal entourage hurried to the entrance of the village, shouting and drinking at the visitors. The visitors turned green with anger, turned around and left angrily.
Ning Jun reported the situation to Wei Han, who said in his heart: "It's a big deal. Gongsun Yan can't fall for it. What should we do?"
The situation changed, and Wei Yan was extremely worried. He ordered Ning Jun to summon Su Qin to the Chinese army's tent immediately.
Su Qin hurried to the Chinese army's tent and saw Wei Han's face turned pale, guessing that things were not going well. Gongsun Yan was by no means an incompetent person who was easy to deal with. Both he and Wei Han had been too optimistic before.
At this moment, Wei Yan could be said to be burning with anxiety. Ever since he learned that his children were in Quwo City, he had seen that his children were in an extremely anxious mood, and their behavior and demeanor could not be as calm as before.
Seeing Su Qin's arrival, Wei Yan pushed Ning Jun away, took Su Qin's hand, and asked him to sit down. He told Su Qin: "I didn't expect that Gongsun Yan was determined to attack Quwo this time and make a contribution to the Qin Lord. Wei Guo
He refused to see the friends who were sent to him, and even scolded his friends and ran away."
When Su Qin just came back, he heard Wei Xian talk about Gongsun Yan's eagerness to attack the city, and he had vaguely guessed this situation, and now it has come true. He is not an almighty god, and there is nothing he can do at the moment.
He calmed down and comforted Wei Xian, saying: "General, don't be anxious. Let me think of another way to make Gongsun Yan submit."
"If Gongsun Yan doesn't take the bait, the next step of the plan will not go forward. Is there any way Mr. Su can make Gongsun Yan obey? Otherwise, everything will be over."
Su Qin had no idea, and both of them fell into silence. After a while, Wei Xuan raised his eyes and looked into the distance, his eyes fierce, and said: "Gongsun Yan is so ignorant, it seems we have to give him something unusual."
Tricks.”
Su Qin noticed Wei Yan's gaze and felt that he seemed to be a different person. He hurriedly asked: "What tricks does General Wei have to make Gongsun Yan obey his orders?"
"No one is poisonous and no husband. Gongsun Yan is blocking the way. Let's use a trick to get rid of him." Wei Xun said word by word, showing a fierceness.
Su Qin noticed Wei Xuan's determination and asked uneasily: "I don't know what the plan is. Can the general tell me?"
Wei Yan realized that his words had frightened Su Qin, so he calmed down a little and softened his tone. He said: "Actually, it's very simple. Isn't Gongsun Yan eager to attack Quwo City? I will let him attack and ambush the assassin in secret.
, killing this beast in one fell swoop, completely ending his dream of meritorious service."
Su Qin fully understood Wei Xun's plan, and could see that Wei Xun was really impatient. He could even say curse words like "this pig" out of his mouth, which changed his usual calmness.
Su Qin felt that this was a good strategy. However, he thought: "Just by killing Gongsun Yan, can Lord Qin order the withdrawal of troops? Wouldn't he send another deputy general to replace Gongsun Yan? If things come to that.
The situation is probably even more difficult to deal with."
Thinking of this, Su Qin said: "The general's plan is indeed effective. However, can we be more thoughtful?"
Wei Yan stared at Su Qin and saw that he was thinking about it, so he asked, "Sir, you must have thought of a better way. Let's talk about it."
Su Qin replied: "We might as well spare Gongsun Yan's life and force him into the trap. If we still focus on the general's plan, and with the cooperation of Quwo's defenders, this matter will definitely succeed."
Wei Yan pricked up his ears, eager to hear Su Qin's proposal. Su Qin told Wei Yan his plan from beginning to end:
Su Qin suggested taking advantage of the situation and sent Gongsun Yan to attack the city. However, he did something wrong with the troops and weapons assigned to him, causing him to be completely defeated.
If the defenders in Quwo City were more aggressive, they would lure Gongsun Yan into the city and capture him alive. On the one hand, they would force him to sign a withdrawal agreement, and on the other hand, they would give him some money. Such a combination of soft and hard tactics, how could he not be obedient!
After listening to Su Qin's words, Wei Yan raised his thumb and praised Su Qin for his first-class adaptability.
"I'm just improving your strategy, General. The general is still wise." Su Qin did not dare to take credit.
However, there is still a hidden worry, that is, will Quwo's defenders be able to capture Gongsun Yan? Wei Han held Su Qin's hand with a very anxious look. Su Qin also held Wei Han's hand tightly while comforting him.

He also specifically described how the Wei Jia siblings cried bitterly and were extremely excited when they heard the news about their father.
