312. Chapter 312 The Bigger the Storm
When Chen Xu saw Su Qin receive the gift from Wei Guobin, he showed a happy expression. He also felt some comfort and a little smile appeared on his face. But his relaxation did not last long. Thinking of the bad news that he was about to tell Su Qin, Chen Xu's face immediately turned solemn.
Su Qin also remembered the bad news that Chen Xu mentioned at the beginning. Chen Xu said that the news was still very scary. He asked curiously: "Prime Minister Chen has finished the good news, but I don't know what the bad news is?"
Chen Xun said with a gloomy face: "This bad news concerns the safety of more than 100,000 Wei troops. Alas, it is really beyond everyone's expectations."
When Su Qin heard this, he became nervous and thought to himself: "You can tell me what kind of news it is, why is it still hidden? Are you afraid of scaring me? If you can't escape the disaster, you have to tell me."
Su Qin looked at Chen Xu and did not continue to ask questions. He knew Chen Xu's temper very well and waited for Chen Xu to tell him about it.
Sure enough, after a while, when Chen Qiao saw that Su Qin stopped asking questions, he spoke instead, but before opening his mouth, he sighed again. He said, "There are two bad news, both of which come from the secret spies we arranged in Qin."
"One is: Qin Jun Ying Si was furious when he learned that Xing Meng led the Qin army to be defeated by Linyun City. Not only did he not withdraw the Qin army in Anyi, he decided to increase his troops by 30,000 and step up his besiege to attack Anyi."
Su Qin said "Oh", and the news really surprised him. It seemed that the defeat of Yu Linyun, Qin Jun Ying Si did not regard it as a global loss, but as a small mistake.
Chen Ying continued to tell the second bad news, saying: "The other news is that the Qin troops besieged Anyi are preparing to suspend the intensive attack on Anyi, and instead attack the Wei army in Linyun City, in order to eliminate the threat from the periphery."
This news was expected by Su Qin. He had already thought that once the Qin army lost the troops led by Xing Meng to monitor the reinforcements of Wei, it would be like a wide open door and face attacks from the outside at any time. Imagine that if the Qin army suddenly attacked an Wei reinforcement when they were besieged Anyi, they would be extremely dangerous.
Therefore, the Qin army must first clear the periphery, which is an inevitable choice and is also a common sense for military combat.
However, the first and second news of the increase of troops are now superimposed, but it is no longer a bad news. Because once the Qin State increases its troops, the main force will have more people and more military strength, and Linyun City will be in danger.
Regardless of the fact that the reinforcements of Zhao State have not arrived, even if the reinforcements of Zhao State have arrived in the future, the combined forces of Zhao, Wei and Qi may not be the opponent of the Qin army.
When Su Qin heard the bad news that Chen Xu said, he couldn't help but frown. "What should I do? The Qin army may come as soon as possible. If the advance arrangement is delayed, the ending may not be bad."
Chen Qiao saw Su Qin frowning, how could he be happy? After all, he had led troops and fought wars. Chen Qiao naturally understood the current situation in Linyun City. Because he understood, he felt even more terrible.
Su Qin fell into a long silence, thinking hard about the dangers he might face. Chen needs to accompany Su Qin to remain silent, looking at him with concern, waiting for Su Qin's inquiries and discussions.
Su Qin was silent for a long time. During this period, he kept looking around aimlessly, but in fact he didn't pay attention to wherever he looked, and what he thought in his heart was a change in the situation.
Su Qin's anxiety seemed to be relieved later, and he asked Chen Xu: "Prime Minister Chen, who was the general who was the Qin army sent to increase its troops this time?"
Chen Xu replied: "According to our tips, the most likely one is Qin Jun Ying Si's half-brother, Leliji, who was named "Yan Jun". He is resourceful and the Qin people called him "think tank". He is really an opponent that is not easy to deal with."
Su Qin nodded and said, "I have dealt with him in Qin. Although he is a royal family in Qin, he is polite, brave and resourceful. He is indeed the best among the younger generals of Qin. When this person comes to the battlefield in Anyi, he may be a blessing for the Wei army."
Chen Ying agreed with Su Qin's opinion and said: "However, the Qin State has not yet determined the candidates. I am afraid that it will take some time to recruit new troops and generals to lead the troops."
Su Qin shook his head and said, "With my understanding of Qin Jun Ying Si, he is determined to be a lie. He will not take many days to send generals and troops to reinforce Anyi."
Chen Xu revealed another message, and he said: "Of course I know a little about Qin Jun Ying Si, but it is said that after the news of the Qin army's defeat in Linyun City reached the Qin army's lord Gongsun Yan, he was quite eager to ask for battle. He had sent people to send books to Xianyang overnight to avenge his previous shame."
This message is very important. Su Qin was delighted and said "Yeah". Seeing that Su Qin was careful, Chen Ying continued to say: "Gongsun Yan is so anxious to take revenge. I am afraid that before the Qin State's increase in troops arrived, he himself led his army to Yuncheng to challenge him first."
After hearing Chen Xu's addition, Su Qin pondered for a while in his heart, and replied: "This is an opportunity to seize. It seems that whether we can take the initiative to provoke Gongsun Yan before the Qin State's troops arrived and let him fight us first is the only opportunity to take advantage of."
Chen Xu also understood what Su Qin was thinking. He was not convenient for him to make a decision for Su Qin and waited patiently for Su Qin to continue thinking deeply. Su Qin took a moment and showed a firm look on his face. He said: "If Gongsun Yan doesn't come, we can lure him to come, so that the initiative of the battle can be held in our hands."
However, Su Qin thought of Zhao's reinforcements, but it was not yet in place at this time, and it was still a fantasy to talk about this plan. He became anxious again, lowered his head and thought about his thoughts, but was not in the mood to pay attention to Chen Xu.
Seeing that Su Qin was in deep thought again, Chen Xu was not inconvenient to bother him anymore, so he stood up and said goodbye. Before leaving, Su Qin specifically instructed Chen Xu to convey orders to the Wei army again, and he must practice quickly and must not be slackened at all, because the next battle is brewing and may be about to break out at any time.
After Chen Xu left, Su Qin stood up and paced in the central army tent. He was waiting for the message of Zhao reinforcements brought back by Meng Ting, and was also thinking about every possible detail when he was confronting the Qin army led by Gongsun Yan.
The more meticulous the battle before the war, the more prepared the battle is, the more beneficial the battle will be to its own side. This is the iron law of war. Su Qin had already tasted the sweetness in the battle in Linyun, so in the face of the larger-scale decisive battle that was about to come, he was even more energetic and devoted himself to the planning of the battle strategy and details. Chen Xu saw that Su Qin was given a gift from Wei Guobin Xiang and showed a happy expression. He also felt some comfort and a smile appeared on his face. But his ease did not last long. Thinking of the bad news that he was about to tell Su Qin, Chen Xu's face immediately turned solemn.
