Chapter 203 Who came up with the bad idea?

"Lu Jun Zun, the last general heard that Xiang Kang's thief army sent an envoy. Is it this old man?"

Just as Mr. Shusun expected, Lu Qi had just nodded and admitted Mr. Shusun's identity. Ma Dalin, sent by Qin Ting, directly grabbed his chest and his eyes were red and asked fiercely: "Old man, what are you sending you to do? What are your intentions? Tell me quickly!"

Mr. Shusun, who is very good at knowing people, saw at first glance that Ma Dalin was a hardliner in the Qin army, so of course he did not dare to say anything. Then what made Mr. Shusun even more worried was that another Qin army official walked into the county magistrate's lobby without any notice and did not salute Lu Qi. He just looked at him in a cold look, but Lu Qi did not blame him for his rude behavior. It was obvious that he was also an important figure in the Qin army.

"Old man, I'm dumb? I asked you what you are here to do, why don't you speak?"

Seeing Mr. Shusun pretending to be deaf and dumb, Ma Dalin asked again. Fortunately, Lu Qi stood up and smoothed out for Mr. Shusun and said, "General Ma, the two countries are fighting each other and there is no need to make things difficult for him. Let the thieves laugh at us for being rude behind their backs. Also, is he here to persuade us to open the city and surrender for Xiang Kang's thief?"

"Surrender to Kaicheng?" Ma Dalin was stunned at first, then laughed loudly, and said with a laugh: "Xiang Kang's son had not woken up in his dream, and he actually wanted to persuade us to surrender to Kaicheng? Don't he know that our Qin army had already been ready to fight to the death with him, and just waited for him to come to Wancheng to die. He actually dared to dream of us surrendering voluntarily?"

Mr. Shusun was sweating profusely and replied timidly: "General, forgive me. Of course, the villain knows that Lu Junzun and you are both loyal to the Qin court and will never surrender to our Chu army, but our right general gave the order, and the villain had to come."

At this time, the Qin army official who followed Ma Dalin to the hall also spoke and asked Lu Qi: "County Master, does Xiang Kang have any letters? Can you let the officials see it?"

"No." Lu Qi replied casually, saying, "Xiang Kang's thief asked this thief to give me a gift, and let this thief represent the thief to persuade us to surrender."

"Why is Lu Qi lying?" Mr. Shusun was slightly stunned. When he subconsciously looked at Lu Qi's confidant Chen Hui from the corner of his eyes, he saw that Chen Hui, who had taken Xiang Kang's letter from Lu Qi before, had been empty-handed at this moment. The letter of false surrender signed by Xiang Kang was gone. Mr. Shusun also knew in his heart that Lu Qi deliberately did not want Ma Dalin and others to see Xiang Kang's letter of persuading surrender.

Because I didn't see Xiang Kang's letter on the case table in front of Lu Qi, the Qin army official said that Xiang Kang really just asked Mr. Shusun to verbally persuade Mr. Shusun to surrender, so he turned to Mr. Shusun and said, "Go back and tell Xiang Kang that he wants to attack the city. Even if he lets the horse come over, we will accompany him to the end! It's a daydream to persuade us to open the city and surrender, so don't even think about it!"

"Yes, yes, the villain will report to the right general when he returns." Mr. Shusun nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and asked carefully: "Do you dare to ask the great man's name, Gao's name, what is the official position?"

"This is our county magistrate Qiu Anqiu County magistrate in Nanyang." Chen Hui, Lu Qi's confidant, took the conversation, first introduced Qiu An's identity casually, and said with a righteous expression: "Like our county magistrate, he has made up his mind to live and die with Wancheng. Our county magistrate had just said that you would get out with Xiang Kang's gift, why didn't you get out?!"

After saying that, Chen Hui picked up the gift that Xiang Kang gave to Lu Qi from the table and threw it to Mr. Shusun. Mr. Shusun understood it, nodded and agreed, and picked up Xiang Kang's gift in a mess, held it away, and left. Lu Qi shouted at Mr. Shusun's back: "Also, tell Xiang Kang's children by the way, don't send any envoys to contact me in the future. I will never see his envoys again!"

…………

Because Lu Qi issued an order and allowed Mr. Shu Sun to leave, Mr. Shu Sun smoothly returned to the Young Marshal's Army camp, and reported to Xiang Kang truthfully before and after meeting Lu Qi, and also reported the small details of Lu Qi's secretly hiding the letter of surrender to Xiang Kang. Xiang Kang was of course quite surprised when he heard this, and said, "Lu Qi didn't want his subordinates to see my letter of surrender? Why? Could it be that Lu Qi really had the idea of ​​surrender?"

"Right General, the lower official looked at his expression carefully and found that after he heard the heartfelt words of the lower official, his expression had indeed begun to shake. If it weren't for the interruption of the Nanyang County Ma County Ma and the tyrant general of the Qin Dynasty, the lower official might have already succeeded in surrendering at that time." Mr. Shusun was not bragging casually this time, and said again: "The lower official also believed that Lu Qi might have really had the idea of ​​surrendering, but because of opposition from his subordinates and colleagues, he did not dare to make a decision casually."

Xiang Kang nodded and turned to Chen Ping next to him and asked, "Mr. Chen Ping, what do you think?"

"Two possibilities, one is that Lu Qi and his subordinates act, wanting us to feel that he has been shaken, deceive us into taking care of it, and then take the opportunity to take the opportunity to get things from it." Chen Ping replied: "As for the second thing, it should be the same as Mr. Shusun analyzed. Lu Qi has been shaken, but he is worried that his subordinates and colleagues will oppose it, and even afraid that his colleagues and subordinates who refuse to surrender will take the initiative and launch a mutiny to kill him, so he deliberately pretends to be tough in front of others."

Xiang Kang nodded again and said, "If Lu Qi was acting and wanted to deceive us into taking it lightly, this is easy to deal with. We just need to be careful and be ready to give him a trick at any time. But if he is worried about opposition from his colleagues, the matter will be even more troublesome. If he cannot suppress the opposition around him, we will not be able to succeed even if we send envoys to the city to recruit surrender. On the contrary, it may backfire and make us miss the hope of directly surrendering."

"Right General, now we should find a way to lure the tyrannical Qin army out of the city to fight as soon as possible, and severely damage the tyrannical Qin army in the field." Chen Ping suggested: "Only in this way can we help Lu Qi suppress the voices around him against surrender, and even if the surrender cannot be curbed, it will be much easier for us to attack the city."

Xiang Kang certainly knew that luring the enemy out of the city to fight the decisive battle was the best way at present, but the Qin army had long made it clear that it was a stance to lure the Qin army out of the city. It was of course not easy to lure the Qin army out of the city. No matter how Xiang Kang and Chen Ping racked their brains, they never came up with any sure trick to lure the enemy.

While thinking hard, Xiang Kang once remembered his good plan of surrender, but after this idea moved a little in his mind, Xiang Kang immediately laughed and cursed himself innocent. As for the current situation, the young generals of the military and civil and military would go to surrender to the Qin army unless they were crazy. If someone came forward to surrender, even if Lu Qi and others were three-year-old children, they knew that they were cheating and there was absolutely no possibility of success.

Fortunately, there was still plenty of time, and it didn't matter if I couldn't think of a solution for the moment, so Xiang Kang was not in a hurry. In addition to asking the young commander's soldiers to speed up the time to build a solid camp, he arranged for soldiers to cut down a large amount of wood and build various siege weapons. While trying to lure the enemy, he was also ready to attack the city by force. However, what surprised Xiang Kang was that one night had just passed after arriving in Wancheng. On the morning of the next day, a scout came outside the tent to report that Qi Ji, who was named the commander of the self-proclaimed commander, had already rushed from Li County to Wancheng from Li County to help the young commander's army attack Wancheng.

"This Qi Ji's skin is so thick that it's OK." Xiang Kang snorted coldly, "No matter whether we agree or not, we will first pull the army over and make a favourite favor. Then when we take down Wancheng, we can ask for money and food to be shared."

"General Right, you can't be polite to such shameless people." Li Shiqi said angrily: "Send someone to tell them to get out quickly and don't come to the battlefield in Wancheng to get in the way."

Of course, Xiang Kang also felt that Qi Ji was in trouble, so he immediately sent a civil servant to the north and told Qi Ji clearly that his army did not need his help and told Qi Ji not to interfere in the battlefield in Wancheng. However, after more than an hour, the civil servant sent returned to Xiang Kang with an angry face and bowed his hands and said, "The right general, Qi, is too thick-skinned. Not only does he not listen to the villain's persuasion and warning, he also said that he came for the great anti-Qin event and insisted on not stopping. Now it is only ten miles away from our camp."

"The tiger does not show its power, and bully me as a sick cat?" Xiang Kang was completely angry. He forgot that there was no cat species on the Central Plains in this era. He shouted: "Send a command to Ding Ji, asking him to lead his troops out of the camp and drive Qi Ji away directly. Qi Ji didn't listen to the greetings, and he would be beaten!"

"Right General, calm down." Zhou Zeng, a good temper, spoke to stop him and advised Xiang Kang: "Although Qi Ji is shameless, he is also an anti-Qin Yishi, and is a wealthy family in Nanyang. He has deep roots in Nanyang and has extensive friendships. Now he comes over under the banner of helping us siege the city, but we meet them and spread them. It will only damage our reputation and be detrimental to us to buy the hearts of the people in Nanyang."

"Then you can't watch him come over and want to take advantage of it, right?"

Xiang Kang was still angry, but then Xiang Kang felt a little moved and quickly changed his words and ordered: "Go Ding Ji to order him to command his troops to go out of the camp and prepare for fighting with Qi Ji. But if Qi Ji doesn't do it first, don't start a war with him."

After saying that, Xiang Kang pointed to the messenger who had contacted Qi Ji before and ordered: "After a while, Qi Ji Ji got nearby. You can go and tell Qi Ji Ji that since he insisted on coming to help us attack the city, then set up a camp for me outside the Ximen City of Wancheng and set up a camp far away from our camp. He also knew that this was the mobile phone I gave him. If he missed it, it would be too late to regret it in the future."

The messenger agreed immediately, but Zhou Zeng was extremely confused and said in confusion: "General Right, what's wrong with you today? Isn't this your usual style? If we do this, it will easily lead to conflicts with friendly forces?"

Xiang Kang laughed and said, "Uncle Ya, who would it be beneficial to us if we had conflicts with friendly forces?"

"Who will it be beneficial?" Zhou Zeng was stunned at first, then immediately woke up, bowed to Xiang Kang and smiled, "Shame, after following the Right General for so long, I still haven't made much progress. I have completely forgotten that what the Right General did will definitely not be aimless."

It's time to see what Qi Ji is doing. While he was brazen to go south, Qi Ji was still thinking about using some sweet words to deceive the famous fool boy to agree to join forces with his mobs to attack the city. However, after coming to the camp of the Young Marshal's Army, Qi Ji and the mobs under him were shocked to see that a well-equipped young man had already been ready outside the camp and was ready to fight with them.

Then, the envoy sent by Xiang Kang came to Qi Ji again and forced Qi Ji to set up a camp outside the west gate of Wancheng. Qi Ji was so angry that he turned around and left. The envoy of the Young General added, saying, "Vice Duwei, our right general said, this is the opportunity he gave you. If you miss it, it will be too late to regret it in the future."

Qi Ji's face twitched, and none of his subordinates were not black. The young commander's army envoy urged: "Emperor Qi, go and set up a camp quickly. Our right general is already asking someone to prepare a banquet. When you have established a camp, you will also invite you to drink with him and discuss major events."

As he said that, the young commander's army envoy took a step forward and handed a small bun to Qi Ji. When Qi Ji took it and opened it, he saw a line of small characters written on the silk cloth - don't say it, I will show it to the tyrant Qin army to help me do things. After the matter is completed, I will thank Xiang Kang.

It was also after seeing the random letters written by Xiang Kang that Qi Ji, who was not stupid, vaguely understood what Xiang Kang meant. He first pinched the letters in his hand, and then shouted: "Go to the west gate of Wancheng to establish a camp!"

"Brother!" Qi Si was furious and said, "Since Xiang Kang's son looked down on us so much, why not leave."

"Stop talking nonsense, we can't go for a waste." Qi Ji scolded loudly, insisting on ordering the army to set up a camp outside the west gate of Wancheng.

Since Qi Ji was so persistent, the generals of Qi's army had no choice but to drive out of the west gate of Wancheng. What made the generals of Qi's army even more angry was that after they drove west, the young commander's army outside the camp actually followed again, monitoring the Qi's army away from the young commander's camp, and sent people early to designate a position outside the west gate of Wancheng to order the Qi's army to set up a camp there.

Seeing this, the soldiers of Qi army were of course talking, and they were all very puzzled. Why did the Young Marshal treat friendly forces with such a rough attitude? Qi Min, who had been following his father since Qi Ji started to run around since Qi Ji raised his army, also saw something wrong. The Qi army had just arrived at the designated location and started to set up a camp under the surveillance of the Young Marshal. Qi Min jumped out of the carriage and ran to Qi Ji and asked worriedly: "Ah Weng, what happened? Why does the Chu army seem to have to go to war with us at any time?"

"Don't worry, it's okay." Qi Ji patted his daughter's black hair to comfort her, calmed down and did not explain the truth to her daughter.

At this time, Xiang Kang had sent an envoy to contact Qi Ji and asked Qi Ji to go to the Shaomai military camp to meet him immediately. Qi Min, Qi Si and others were worried about Qi Ji's safety, so they advised Qi Ji not to take risks. Qi Feng volunteered to contact Xiang Kang on behalf of Qi Ji. Qi Ji was first curious about Xiang Kang's real intention, and secondly, they knew that if Xiang Kang really wanted to be unfavorable to him, there was no need to trick him into the Shaomai military camp to take action. Just by monitoring the young army that was establishing a camp, they could easily deal with his own group of mobs. After dissuasion by everyone, they arranged the camp matters, and immediately followed the young army envoys to the Shaomai military camp to meet Xiang Kang.

After Qi Ji left, Qi Si, Qi Feng and others were of course extremely worried, for fear that the young marshals outside the camp would suddenly attack as the opportunity of the army without a leader, and to take the blame for Qi Jun who was still standing in the camp. As a woman, Qi Min naturally hung his heart in his throat. He was extremely afraid that the young marshals with a arrogant attitude would be detrimental to Qi Ji. He was always restless and always looked at the direction of the young marshals' camp in the distance.

Fortunately, Qi Jun's camp had just taken shape, and the young commander outside the camp had already retreated on his own and did not do anything to take advantage of the situation. When it was dark, Qi Ji also returned from the young commander's camp with alcohol. Qi Min received the news and was overjoyed and came to the Central Army's tent to meet Qi Ji. Unfortunately, Qi Ji was busy discussing things with Qi Si and several other confidants, and ordered Qi Min: "Good daughter, go back to your military tent first to rest. Ah Weng will see you later. There are still important things to tell you."

Seeing that his father had returned safely, Qi Min's heart was hanging in his throat and returned to his stomach. He obediently followed Qi Ji's instructions and honestly returned to his tent to wait. Then after a while, Qi Ji really entered Qi Min's tent with a smile and said with a smile: "Good daughter, Ah Weng is here, are you sleepy?"

"If you are not sleepy, Ahon quickly sit down."

Qi Min, who was quite virtuous, hurriedly helped Qi Ji Ji down. Qi Ji Ji was straight to the point and said with a smile: "Min'er, even if you are sleepy tonight, you must listen to Ah Weng finish what he said. Ah Weng has a very important thing that you want to do for me personally tomorrow, and you can't refuse."

"What is Ahweng going to do if his daughter wants to do?" Qi Min asked in confusion.

"At noon tomorrow, you will take a few followers to the northeast of our camp to practice dancing." Qi Ji ordered: "Then the right general of Chu State Xiang Kang will pass by there and will snatch you away, you want..."

"Snatch me away?" Qi Min was so scared by his father's words that he asked in surprise: "Aweng, do you want me to be snatched away by the right general of Chu?"

"Of course it's a fake robbery. How could Ah Weng be willing to let my good daughter rob me of another man?" Qi Ji laughed and said quickly: "But you must pretend to be particularly scared. You must not let the entourage you brought with you know that you are pretending to be robbed. Then as long as you go to the camp of the Right General, even if the matter is over, the Right General will never do anything to you. Ah Weng will also take you back as soon as possible."

After a lot of effort, Qi Ji finished the whole story of the matter to Qi Min, and the reason and purpose of Xiang Kang deliberately snatching Qi Min away. Qi Min was so amused and laughed and said, "Aweng, who came up with the bad idea? He actually used his daughter to do such a thing?"

"Don't worry about anyone's idea. In short, you must help Ah Weng." Qi Ji refused to answer the person who came up with this bad idea and said, "Ah Weng will definitely reward you heavily after the matter is done. Whether we and the Right General can successfully take Wancheng depends on your performance tomorrow."

Qi Min wanted to refuse, but his father had to listen to his words, so after hesitating for a long time, Qi Min could only ask with great concern: "Aweng, will that right general of Chu take away his daughter? "

"Haha, don't worry, the Right General is a gentleman and will never do anything randomly. I am your Ahon, how could he be willing to let you take risks?" Qi Ji laughed loudly and added to his heart, "Good daughter, you can really rest assured. In fact, the Right General is worried about his reputation and is unwilling to pretend to steal you away."

The father's promise was just to make Qi Min feel a little relieved, but when he thought that he would be snatched away by an ugly, short, black man, and faced a pile of walking fat meat, with a very thick lips and saliva on the corners of his mouth, Qi Min couldn't help but chill, his weak body trembled slightly, and he couldn't help but begged: "Ah Weng, don't let your daughter do this, okay?"
