419. Chapter 419 Joy and worry

Yan Sui argued for the generals and said what everyone thought. The reason why everyone was late was not because they were used to Su Qin's banquet at the Tingfengxuan, gathering to celebrate the achievements, singing and dancing to peace.

After hearing this, Su Qin was angry and laughing, thinking: "I treated you so well, and they all developed the habit of being lazy and slack and greedy for pleasure."

He couldn't help but chased and scolded them a few more times, but did not punish them. Ning Jun couldn't see them. He felt that if Su Qin did not take decisive measures, with such military discipline and military appearance, the soldiers would undoubtedly go to the battlefield and die.

Ning Jun's face was calm and he said, "All the generals are my colleagues. I shouldn't say much, but if we indulge in enjoyment like this for a long time, I'm afraid everyone will go to the battlefield again, let alone fight to kill the enemy bravely, they can only wait for the enemy to kill us."

"I dare to advise everyone that the Qin army is powerful and powerful, and the military discipline is strict, so we should not take it lightly. Don't be blinded by a few small victories and think that the Qin army is vulnerable, and I'm afraid it will suffer a great loss."

Ning Jun's words were also said to Su Qin. He was in the same mood as the generals and lacked due vigilance against the upcoming crisis.

After hearing what Ning Jun said, Su Qin's face turned red and white, and he couldn't hold back, but Ning Jun was his good friend, so he couldn't turn against him on the spot, so he laughed: "General Ning has been in the Qin army for many years and has rich experience. Generals should listen to his advice more."

Su Qin then explained the military situation of Mianchi in South Korea to the generals. He inspired the generals and said, "Mianchi's Qin army is just a fake news. Which general is willing to lead troops to help South Korea?"

After he finished speaking, he looked around the generals, waiting for the generals to jump out like before, rushing to establish their first achievements. However, the result of the matter was as expected.

The generals were divided into two rows in the hall on the first floor of Tingfengxuan. On the north side were Qi general Yan Sui, Wei general Lu Ji and others, and on the south side were Zhou Shao, the chief lieutenant of the Prime Minister's Office of Zhao State, Jing Feng and others. Nearly ten generals were in the hall, but no one of them was rushing to stand out from the queue.

Ning Jun, who was sitting on the side of Su Qin, saw that the generals either looked at each other or lowered their heads and kept silent. Su Qin sat there awkwardly, his face flushed with shame.

Ning Jun certainly understood: this is the inevitable consequence of living a pampered life. He had long guessed the ending today, but Su Qin was just a mystery to the authorities.

Seeing that Su Qin could not come to Taiwan, Ning Jun found a step for him and said, "Prime Minister should send a mission. The generals were hasty and did not know the inside story, so hesitated."

Su Qin was originally a smart person, so of course he understood the purpose of Ning Jun's advice. He coughed twice, concealed his unhappiness, and then issued an order:

"Zhao General Zhou Shao, Wei General Lu Ji obeyed the order: I ordered you two to lead 500 troops, Zhou Shao was the main general, and Lu Ji was the deputy general. I immediately followed the Korean doctor Shen Zhi to Han Gu's tent to obey the order and went to Mianchi to fight. No mistakes should be made."

After hearing the order, Zhou Shao immediately left the line and replied readily: "After the order of Zhou Shao, I will obey the Prime Minister's order and will never refuse."

Wei general Lu Ji was not very happy. He curled his lips to the others beside him, rubbed for a while, and then stood out of the queue. However, he was still weak and replied: "I will receive the order."

Su Qin saw Lu Ji's reluctance, but he thought: "You Wei State took a big advantage in the Battle of Anyi, and now it's time for you to do your best."

Therefore, he did not change his orders and insisted that the State of Wei follow all his more than 200 soldiers. In addition, Zhou Shao's subordinates, under the joint leadership of Zhou Shao and Lu Ji, went to the front line of Mianchi first.

Su Qin originally planned to arrange for everyone to have lunch at noon after Tingfengxuan's discussion with the generals in the morning, drink a few glasses of wine, and see them off for the generals who went to the front line of Mianchi. However, after so many unpleasant things happened, how could he have any good mood to entertain the generals?

After assigning the task, Su Qin waved his hand and said, "The military aircraft has been completed and the generals have dispersed. I must practice the troops diligently in the future. I don't want to see what happened this morning again. If you commit it again in the future, don't blame me for being polite."

The generals did not get lunch, and some people felt guilty for being late, such as Yan Sui, Zhou Shao and other generals who came along with Su Qin; some people had opinions in their hearts, believing that Su Qin was stingy, like Wei generals Lu Ji, Chu general Jing Feng and other princes who came in response.

Su Qin gave Ning Jun a wink and asked him to stay for a while. Ning Jun just sat in the seat and did not leave. Su Qin regarded him as a close friend, so when he just ordered the generals to announce the order, everyone else stood in line and obeyed the order, only Ning Jun set up a seat to entertain him.

However, Ning Jun can also be regarded as a close friend who truly cares about him. He not only delayed his marriage in Qi State, but also allowed Tian Lin to wait for another year in Linzi, but also repeatedly ignored Su Qin's disgust and made unpleasant advice, allowing him to keep a clear mind. If the two of them had not shared their lives and deaths many times, Su Qin would have had a bad view of Ning Jun.

When all the generals came out of Tingfeng Xuan, Ning Jun said, "I see that Wei general Lu Ji looked very reluctant. Why did Ji Zi still let him go?"

Su Qin told Ning Jun what he had just thought of asking Wei State to do his best, but Ning Jun had a different view. He said: "What Ji Zi thought was certainly in line with the principle of balance, but if things were urgent, these people would not play any role at all."

Su Qin smiled and said, "It is precisely because of this that I sent them. I guess there will be no major war on the front line of Mianchi. It is already late winter. Spring will come in another month, and the Qin army will soon withdraw to Hangu Pass."

Ning Jun shook his head and looked very worried. He persuaded: "I think I'd better call Zhou Shao back and tell him a few words. Otherwise, he would not know what to do with the critical situation that occurred."

Su Qin looked at Ning Jun and found that Ning Jun was particularly worried. In order to appease Ning Jun, he asked the in-person school in charge of the order to chase Zhou Shao and called him back to discuss matters.

As soon as Zhou Shao walked to the door of Mingjian Garden, he received Su Qin's instructions to answer Feng Xuan. He turned around and came back with doubt.

Su Qin ordered his subordinates to prepare lunch for three people. He, Ning Jun and Zhou Shao, so he had lunch while discussing military information.

Su Qin instructed Zhou Shao: "When you arrive in Mianchi, you must pay close attention to the development of the frontline war. Your main task is to observe military information, not participate in the war."

Zhou Shao bowed and held his fists to answer the order. Ning Jun was not relieved of his future, so he specifically reminded him: "Once you realize that the situation may be out of control, send someone to send a message to Luoyang immediately. Don't delay the matter." Zhou Shao also agreed.

Zhou Shao and Wei general Lu Ji were taken by Han Shenzhi to Mianchi to help. At this afternoon, Han Hou had already assembled nearly 100,000 troops, led by Han Taiwei Xu Mu, and arrived at Chongguang City outside Mianchi.

When Zhou Shaogang met with Xu Mu, he heard good news from the front line of Mianchi: Li Qi, the guard general of Shangguan City in South Korea, led the military and civilians in the city to defeat the tenth attack of Qin. Qin had no decent siege within five days.

Zhou Shao immediately sent someone to pass the good news back to Su Qin's mansion in Luoyang City. After Su Qin heard the news, he was happy. He specially called Ning Jun to let him read the letter written by Zhou Shao. Although Ning Jun was a little suspicious, he was also happy about it: After all, if there was no war in Mianchi, it would be excellent news for the princes of the East.

Han Gu also received good news from Xu Muchuan's return to Xinzheng. He learned that Li Qi from Shangguan City was good at guarding the city and specially rewarded 100 gold coins, plus ten pieces of silk and one hundred stones of rice. The other Shangguan City soldiers who made contributions promised to reward them according to their contributions in the future.

Because Shangguan City was surrounded, Han Hou could not deliver the rewarded property to Li Qi, so he sent officials to deliver the property to Li Qi's home and handed it to his parents, wife and children.

Han Hou ordered Xu Mu to try to deliver the reward news to Shangguan City. After Xu Mu discussed with his confidant general, he came up with a plan.

He sent a small team of ten people to put on the armor of Qin soldiers, dressed in the Qin army, and secretly mingled under Shangguan City. Later, he chose the opportunity to join the defenders in the city and sneaked into Shangguan City while the night was dark.

Li Qi was overjoyed when he saw the squad sent by Xu Mu. He immediately summoned the soldiers and announced to everyone the order of Han Hou's commendation. The soldiers shouted: "Long live! Long live the lord!" The morale of the army was motivated by the commendation and his morale was greatly boosted.

However, at night, Li Qi secretly called the leader of the team to the inner room of the central army's tent. Li Qi had already restrained his joyful face and turned to worry.

He told the team leader the actual situation in the city: they were almost cut off food and grass, because they were confidential, there were still few people who knew about the city guarding the city, but because the rationing has been reduced in recent days, more and more people have guessed the inside story.

Once the food and grass are completely exhausted in the future, I am afraid that the soldiers and civilians in Shangguan City will starve to death without waiting for the enemy to attack. At that time, it would be a empty talk to talk about defending the city.

Li Qi asked the team to still wear the Qin army's conquest clothes, and under the cover of the night, to report the actual situation in the city to Han Gu and the Grand Marshal Xu Mu, and ask them to organize troops to come to rescue within one month. Otherwise, Shangguan City would not be able to protect it.

The leader of the team was commissioned by Li Qi and followed the original method again, disguised himself and brought back the news from Shangguancheng front line.

Because it was not easy to travel back and forth in the Qin camp, it was not easy to cover people's eyes and ears, so by the time the team brought back the news, more than ten days had passed.

When Han Hou Han Gu and Taiwei Xu Mu received the news brought back by the team, they were stunned. They were too optimistic about the situation. It seemed that Qin had adopted a new strategy for Shangguan City: they surrounded but did not attack, not retreating because they feared difficulties. Yan Sui argued for the generals, and he said what everyone was thinking. The reason why everyone was late was not because they were used to Su Qin's banquet at the Tingfengxuan, gathering to celebrate the achievements, and singing and dancing to peace.

After hearing this, Su Qin was angry and laughing, thinking: "I treated you so well, and they all developed the habit of being lazy and slack and greedy for pleasure."
