337. Chapter 337 Tell the truth
Gao Sheng talked about how inconvenient he had in Anyi City, so that his task was not perfect. Chu Liji said "Oh" in disappointment. He was a humble gentleman, and he was not reflected in his emotions.
He tried his best to comfort Gao Sheng calmly and said, "Doctor Gao doesn't have to be sad. We all know that this is something that cannot be done smoothly. My brother Jun and I have a premonition about it, so you just need to hand over the letter to Zhang Yi and bring the words to you, even if you succeed."
He did not dare to tell many details about Gao Sheng's meeting with Zhang Yi for many details, such as Ying Si and Prince Luliji, as this would bring too many unpredictable troubles to Zhang Yi and even to himself. Especially after Zhang Yi thought about it carefully, he returned the letter to Qin. If this details were told, it would not cause a stir!
Therefore, when Gao Sheng talked with Chu Liji about the process of seducing Zhang Yi, his words were always evasive, and the hidden feelings in them could not be told by outsiders.
Gao Sheng's tone of speech, his face was often seen by Lu Liji.
Chu Liji did not blame Gao Sheng, but was very discouraged. He thought: "Has the counter-espionage plan he carefully planned failed like this? According to human nature, how could a great man like Zhang Yi be willing to stay under others for a long time? This makes no sense."
The observation information of the Anyi coalition forces brought back from Gao Sheng just now can guess that the coalition forces' real intention is to maintain a balance of power, not to take the initiative to attack.
However, the soldiers were never tired of cheating, and at this time he had to doubt: "What if all this was just an illusion that tempted me, Qin army, and then they would pursue us, our army would relax its vigilance, and the losses would probably be even more serious."
This unimaginable consequence made Chu Liqi shudder. How could he dare to take this risk with the safety of nearly 50,000 Qin troops? However, if the information brought back by Gao Sheng was true, the Qin army had not set off for a long time to retreat, wouldn’t it have missed a rare opportunity!
How to make a decision is still an open big question. After thinking about it, Chu Liji became even more confused. He looked at the documents on several cases in a restless manner and fell into deep thoughts.
Gao Sheng felt guilty because he failed to counterattack Zhang Yi. Now he saw the expression of Chu Liji again and was even more confused. He said to himself: "Young Master Ying Ji trusts me so much, but I have the trust of him. It's really not that I can't do anything about it. I'm not going to force abduct others like I did three years ago."
He lowered his head and looked at Leji ashamed to look at Leji. Leji was speechless for a moment, and the two of them fell into a state of silence for a long time.
Because of his difficulty in calming his thoughts, he subconsciously "ah" one and two sounds came out. Gao Sheng heard his sighs and felt even more piercing.
Gao Sheng was also thinking about how to comfort Chuliji. He suddenly thought of the words Zhang Yi comforted him when he was chatting with Zhang Yi. At that time, he didn't understand. Zhang Yi said that Chuliji Young Master would understand. Gao Sheng said in his heart: "I wonder if this sentence can also comfort Chuliji Young Master as well?"
He tried hard to recall Zhang Yi's original words, and after a while he remembered that Gao Sheng did not think that this sentence was of great use in his heart. Although Zhang Yi was very firm at the time, Gao Sheng always believed that it was just a temporary consolation. Therefore, he thought of it in a helpless situation.
Gao Sheng said hesitantly: "I went to see Zhang Yi, and the two of them also talked about the situation in the battle in Anyi. But they were just chatting. I wonder if those words were useful to the young master?"
When Leliji heard this, his eyes widened. When he was puzzled, he learned the important news of Gao Sheng. How could he not be excited?
Chuliji hurriedly stared at Gao Sheng and said, "Doctor Gao and Zhang Yi are indeed intimate and can actually talk about the current situation of the battle. If Doctor Gao told me, I am very grateful."
Gao Sheng nodded shyly, trying hard to recall, and still told Leji about his chatting situation with a skeptical look.
Of course, he focused on repeating the sentence that Zhang Yi thought he was difficult to understand but could understand, as if the original words were "Since the coalition forces could not take advantage of the victory and encircle and annihilate them when they were victorious, how could they pursue them when they retreat?"
When Gao Sheng said this, his tone was not sure, but after hearing this, his eyes lit up and he patted the tables in front of him with both hands. He laughed and sighed deeply: "What a wonderful thing, what a wonderful thing is to wake up the dreamer!"
Gao Sheng was shocked by the laughter of Leji. He didn't expect that this sentence would cause such a big disturbance to Leji. It turned out that this sentence was really mysterious. No wonder Zhang Yi said at that time that I was difficult to understand, but Young Master Leji would understand!
Gao Sheng secretly scolded himself for being stupid: If he had known this sentence was so important, why didn’t he say it at the beginning? That would have made Mr. Chuliji worry all over his heart, and he would have been sad for a long time.
Thinking of this, he said to Leji openly and honestly: "When Zhang Yi said this, I didn't understand the meaning of it. When I asked him, he replied, "Young Master, you will understand."
When Chu Liji heard this again, he was even more happy. He pulled the documents on several cases and said, "Zhang Yi is a wonderful person, worthy of being Guiguzi's apprentice, so scheming."
At this time, Gao Sheng still didn't understand the profound meaning of this sentence, and could not see Zhang Yi's scheming. He asked in confusion: "The old minister is stupid and can't really hear anything special. I dare to ask the young master, why is this sentence so important?"
Chuliji smiled and replied, "Doctor Gao is focused on martial arts and disdains military affairs, so he is naturally not sensitive to this sentence. Zhang Yi's sentence implies that there are inconsistencies within the coalition itself and it is difficult to tie together, so he will never rashly pursue the Qin army."
Gao Sheng said "Oh" and immediately understood. He thought to himself: "It seems that people are specialized. I haven't figured out the deep meaning of this sentence. Fortunately, I remembered it today and reposted it to Mr. Yu Liji. Otherwise, I would have made a big mistake."
Leliji was grateful for the crucial message brought by Gao Sheng. Seeing that Gao Sheng was still unable to understand it completely, he explained a few more words.
He said: "We have both failed two battles before, and have paid too much attention to the strength of the coalition forces and made the mistake of being afraid of the enemy. In fact, if we look at the coalition forces in reverse, we will find that they also have weaknesses: that is, the temporary team formed, lacking stability and unity."
"When a crisis comes, everyone will naturally strive for the first place in order to protect themselves. However, when the crisis is resolved, they should be brave enough to take advantage of the situation and expand the results of the battle, and they will be in trouble and even lose the previous fruit of victory."
After hearing the further details of Chuliji, Gao Sheng truly understood the mystery. He kept nodding and sighed: "Yes, why didn't I think of this level?"
Chuliji replied: "There are of course differences in human knowledge. Besides, Zhang Yi is in the coalition, so he understands this better. However, this sentence alone is enough to see his unique talents. This person really deserves to be recruited into our Qin State for our use."
The words of Chuliji turned back to the original intention of tempting Zhang Yi, and there were regrets that they were both out of the words. Gao Sheng did not persuade Zhang Yi to come to Qin, and he was embarrassed to take on the words of Chuliji.
Lu Ji was immersed in his joy and excitement. He then said, "You Su Qin, you are so scheming. You can't attack the Qin army. You also sent someone to send a threatening letter, hoping to transform the slight advantage on the battlefield into a real gain of land. We were all scared by you. The 50,000 troops were outside and could not advance or retreat."
With Zhang Yi's words, Chuliji had already seen through Su Qin's true intentions. How could he not be happy! But Gao Sheng heard this sentence, he still felt ashamed of himself. This time he felt ashamed of his in-law Su Qin. He thought to himself: "This wishful thinking of his in-laws seems to have failed."
Gao Sheng felt guilty, but he quickly persuaded himself and thought it was easier. He went to Anyi to persuade Zhang Yi to seduce Zhang Yi. He was just fulfilling the obligations that a Qin man should fulfill.
Gao Sheng thought for a while and felt that what the saying goes is reasonable: Man's calculation is not as good as God's calculation. He went to Anyi City and the task he should have completed was not completed, but the sentence he brought back accidentally made everything clear.
When Chuliji saw Gao Sheng's face was unstable, he thought Gao Sheng was still worried about not completing the task of seducing Zhang Yi. Therefore, Chuliji comforted Gao Sheng again and said, "Doctor Gao has made a great contribution this time. After I return to China, I will report to you to the emperor and be promoted."
Gao Sheng asked absent-mindedly: "The old minister didn't persuade Zhang Yi to return to Qin, how dare he express his merits."
But Chuliji walked over, sat beside Gao Sheng, bowed to him solemnly, and said, "Doctor Gao brought back is worth more than a thousand gold. This sentence saved the Qin army's dangerous situation, and we can return to the country in a swagger today. If the soldiers heard this news, they might be so happy."
Gao Sheng said "Huh" and asked, "Have you made up your mind to lead the Qin army back to China?"
Leriji held Gao Sheng's hand and said firmly: "No, I'll order to pack my bags today and I can leave tomorrow afternoon."
Gao Sheng heard that the Qin army would start to retreat tomorrow. He felt that the decision was coming quickly, so he didn't have time to react, so he asked again: "Why is the young master so urgent? Will it be late to leave in the afternoon? If Wei and Zhao coalition forces are chasing us in the night?..."
Le Liji smiled and said without pretentiously: "Our army just wants to leave clearly without covering up, so that the coalition forces in Anyi City can watch us pack our luggage and leave with great swagger." Gao Sheng said how inconvenient he was in Anyi City, so that the task was not perfect. Le Liji said "Oh" in disappointment. He was a humble gentleman, and he was not indifferent to his emotions.
He tried his best to comfort Gao Sheng calmly and said, "Doctor Gao doesn't have to be sad. We all know that this is something that cannot be done smoothly. My brother Jun and I have a premonition about it, so you just need to hand over the letter to Zhang Yi and bring the words to you, even if you succeed."
