311. Chapter 311 Good and bad news
Su Qin had defeated the elite Qin soldiers led by Xing Meng, killed the Qin army's deputy general Gongruo, forced Xing Meng to escape, and captured countless Qin army supplies. The victory of this battle greatly boosted the morale of the Wei army. They smiled one by one, picked up the items left by the Qin army on the position.
Su Qin and the generals discussed the gains and losses of this battle. Everyone gradually understood the mystery of the Qianxiang Formation he had laid out. After hearing the comments made by Zhang Yi, he admired Su Qin and Zhang Yi's brothers, and was even more curious about Mr. Guigu's profound knowledge.
The way of combat is unpredictable and it is hard to understand the ultimate. Generations have achieved great power. How can war generals with ordinary qualifications easily get the truth? Ning Jun, Yan Sui and Chen Xu all trust Su Qin more and are glad for following such a commander-in-chief who is familiar with military tactics and skilled in formation.
Su Qin led the generals out of Xing Meng's central army tent and found that there were hundreds of soldiers from Qi and Wei coalition troops gathered outside the tent. Everyone wanted to see the style of the commander-in-chief of this battle. Seeing Su Qin himself, who was radiant and elegant, the soldiers raised their weapons in their hands and shouted in unison: "Long live, victory!"
Seeing that the soldiers were full of morale, Su Qin was very happy. He also shouted to the soldiers: "Long live the victory! Long live the Wei army! Long live the Qi army!"
After a moment, the soldiers calmed down a little, and Su Qin spoke loudly: "Today's battle is entirely due to the three armies' duty. The soldiers fought bravely to win the Qin army. The Qin army is extremely cruel, and all the elders have suffered a lot and must be stopped. Otherwise, the whole world will be in its pocket and the people will be slaughtered by the Qin army."
Su Qin inspires the soldiers and asks: "It is our responsibility to defend our country, right? If we don't get up to fight, do we still need our parents and children to fight against the Qin army?"
Su Qin's words aroused the heroic spirit of the Wei army soldiers, and everyone responded: "Fight bravely and defend the country!"
Chen Qiao looked at the passionate soldiers of Wei State, and also clapped excitedly and shouted loudly: "Defend the country!" Afterwards, he gave Su Qin a thumbs up, praising Su Qin's encouraging morale in his heart.
However, Su Qin's heart was not completely overwhelmed by the joy of victory at this time. He knew very well that defeating more than 10,000 Qin troops led by Xing Meng was just a small victory, just a beginning. More than 100,000 Qin troops were still besieging Anyi City. Once the Qin troops were all involved in the decisive battle with reinforcements, the pressure on reinforcements would double.
At present, Su Qin is still worried about whether Zhao Yu, the Duke of Zhao, could agree to send troops to rescue Anyi. If Zhao's reinforcements did not arrive, the situation in Anyi will still be in danger.
With both comfort and nervousness, Su Qin and the generals returned to Linyun City. He said goodbye to the generals. As soon as he arrived at his central army tent, he found Meng Ting waiting for her in the tent. She smiled with joy on her face, her lips were like peach blossoms, and her eyebrows and eyes were filled with affection. It seemed that she was also really happy for the victory that Su Qin led her army.
After Su Qin came back, Meng Ting came up to him, gently unloaded his armor and stroked the dust on his robe. After that, the two sat down together. Su Qin ordered the guards to prepare meals and rest in the tent with Meng Ting for a while.
Su Qin's joy at this time had long passed, but there was a sorrow on his face. Meng Ting saw it, wondering what she was worried about, and asked with concern: "I don't know what Ji Zi is worried about, why did he feel sad after winning?"
Su Qin looked at Meng Ting and found that he made his beloved woman feel frightened. He felt unbearable and moved in his heart. He reached out and hugged Meng Ting in his arms and gently hugged her soft body.
Meng Ting suddenly flashed with thin long eyelashes, lay in Su Qin's arms, raised her eyes to Su Qin, her eyes full of concern. Su Qin thought for a while and replied, "Ting'er doesn't know anything. Although we won this time, Yu Qin's army has no fundamental damage. The main force of the Qin army is still there. The victory or defeat is still unknown."
Meng Ting touched Su Qin's hand and continued to ask anxiously: "What should we do? We shouldn't wait in Linyun City and let the Qin army attack."
Su Qin nodded with a compliment in his eyes. He said, "Ting'er is indeed smart, with a tender daughter, and a clear understanding of politics and war. Even I, Su Qin, a man, can't help but be convinced by you."
Meng Ting received praise from her lover and felt happy. She continued to caress Su Qin's hand and said modestly: "Although I know some truths, if you want to arrange troops and command on the battlefield, you have to be a man who stands tall and dares to act and take responsibility. Unfortunately, it would be great if I could help you."
When Su Qin heard that Meng Ting was willing to help him, he stared at Meng Ting's beautiful face and wanted to say something, but he stopped talking and made two "Hmm" and "ah".
Meng Ting is such a smart woman. When she saw Su Qin's eyes, she knew that Su Qin might be asking for something. Meng Ting said resolutely: "Ji Zi just say whatever she wants, why are hesitant? What else can't be said bluntly between us?"
Su Qin finally made up his mind and said, "Since Ting'er does not abandon me, I, Su Qin, will just say it. What I am worried about now is that the reinforcements from Zhao State will not be delayed, and if the main force of the Qin army turns to Linyun City, the situation of the war may be reversed."
Meng Ting nodded and touched Su Qin's face. She already understood what Su Qin wanted to ask for her. She was determined to share Su Qin's worries and said, "If I'm not wrong, Ji Zi wants me to go back to Handan to find out the news of Zhao's reinforcements."
After hearing Meng Ting's words, Su Qin stared at her eyes with emotion, with a little affection and helplessness in her eyes. Then, Su Qin sighed and said, "I know it's inappropriate to do this. After all, you were sent by Mr. Zhao to supervise me. This is not your duty at all, and it will also make you lose your trust in front of Mr. Zhao."
Su Qin said, his face flushed and lowered his head in shame. Meng Ting raised Su Qin's jaw with his hand. The two looked at each other, and Su Qin found that Meng Ting looked resolute.
She stared at Su Qin's face and said word by word: "Ji Zi is too worried. Since I am following you, I will be willing to share your worries. The current situation is so urgent, so what should I do if I go back to Handan? After all, the situation in Zhao State has a great relationship with the victory or defeat of the Battle of Anyi. It is worth it for me to go there for public or private."
When Su Qin heard Meng Ting's words, he felt a sincere and warm affection in his heart. He hugged Meng Ting even more closely and said, "Ting'er is really my beloved, how can I bear to give up on you?"
Meng Ting was also moved for a moment, and both of them were overwhelmed by the waves of love and fell into the tenderness of long-term love.
The second day after the victory, Qi and Wei coalition forces rested in Linyun City. Su Qin ordered generals from all walks of life to strictly supervise the training of soldiers in preparation for a more arduous battle, and they would not be delayed in the joy of victory.
At the same time, he also sent Wu Jing to escort Meng Ting and headed towards Handan to urge Zhao's reinforcements. Su Qin bid farewell to Meng Ting at the east gate of Linyun City, watching her leave, and was reluctant to return for a long time. It was not 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 Qi rubbing his hands, his face frowning, and he was wandering around in front of the big tent of the Central Army. When he saw Su Qin returning, he stepped forward and grabbed Su Qin's hand and said anxiously: "It's up to Prime Minister Su. Let's quickly enter the big tent. I have something important to negotiate with you."
When Su Qin saw Chen Xu's anxious expression, he knew that what he had encountered must be quite a bit. Otherwise, if he had just won, he would have to celebrate for a few days, so how could he turn into sorrow so quickly?
Su Qin hurriedly brought Chen Xu to the Central Army tent together. After Chen Xu entered, he sent away a guard who was packing his belongings in the tent. He looked around carefully and found that there was no one around, so he sat down and said:
"I have two news here, one is good and the other is bad. The good news is amazing, and the bad news is terrifying. I wonder which one Prime Minister Su wants to listen to first?"
Su Qin tried his best to suppress his emotions and prevent it from fluctuating with Chen Xu's rhythm. He calmed down and said slowly: "There is good news, of course I would like to listen to it first." He deliberately put the good news in front and wanted to comfort Chen Xu, hoping to calm him down.
Chen Xu replied: "The good news is that I would like to ask our king for Prime Minister Su. In order to commend the prime minister, our king specially awarded Prime Minister Su three thousand gold to show praise. The generals participating in the war all rewarded property according to their merits."
Su Qin chuckled and said, "Then I thank King Wei for his generous reward. A mere victory is not enough to give him a generous reward." In fact, Su Qin did not care much about this reward. After all, Zhao Hou Zhao Yu's reward was many times more than this.
Seeing that the King of Wei's reward did not make Su Qin excited, Chen Xun said another reward, saying: "The king of our country not only rewarded three thousand golds, but also appointed Prime Minister Su as the 'bin prime minister' of Wei, which is equivalent to your 'bin prime minister' in Yan State. The king specifically ordered that if Prime Minister Su accepts the 'bin prime minister' of Wei State', he would hand over the military command of the Battle of Anyi to Prime Minister Su, and he would be fully responsible for the Battle of Anyi."
When Su Qin heard this, he said "ah" happily and almost jumped up. He pressed his excitement, bowed and bowed to Chen Xu, and said, "Then I really want to thank the King of Wei for his conferred gift. With this conferred order, I will be more comfortable in commanding the troops."
At the same time, Su Qin also secretly blamed Chen Xu in his heart and said to me: "This gift of guest and Xiang is much heavier than the reward of the three thousand golds. It's not that Chen Xu doesn't know, but it's just that it's put it later."
But Su Qin turned to Chen Xu's usual implicit style, and felt relieved. This seal came too timely, and Su Qin was worried that he could not fully mobilize the defenders in Anyi City and the Wei army in Linyun City. If that were the case, it would undoubtedly greatly weaken the initiative of the coalition forces in combat. Su Qin had defeated the elite Qin troops led by Xing Meng, killed the Qin army's deputy general Gongruo, forced Xing Meng to escape, and captured countless Qin army supplies. The victory of this battle greatly boosted the morale of the Wei army. They smiled one by one, picked up the items left by the Qin army on the position.
