12. Chapter 12 Love hurts the motherland
Wei Yan listened quietly to Gongsun Yan and Gao Sheng's report. He lowered his head and looked at Su Qin on the ground. He saw that he was mentally exhausted, his clothes were in tatters and there were still traces of blood. Only his eyes still showed some unyielding look.
When Wei Xun heard that he was a disciple of Mr. Gui Gu, he thought about it, thought about it for a while, and made up his mind. He ordered his men to untie Su Qin's rope, and asked Su Qin to rest for a while.
Gongsun Yan and Gao Sheng looked at Wei Han in confusion, their eyes full of questions. Seeing that they had objections, Wei Han explained:
"As a disciple of Mr. Gui Gu, this person may be the one your Majesty wants to appoint. How can I convince him by treating him like this today? Why not treat him kindly? Maybe I can change his mind."
Gongsun Yan and Gao Sheng had issues with Su Qin and were resentful. When they heard that Wei Xian advocated treating Su Qin well, they felt unwilling to do so. Gongsun Yan, in particular, was even more dissatisfied. He stared at Su Qin without saying a word and became sulky.
However, after all, Wei Xian was the commander-in-chief and he was the deputy-general. Gongsun Yan had to listen to the commander-in-chief's opinions. Therefore, Gongsun Yan left the tent with suspicion and dissatisfaction, and Gao Sheng also came out with him.
After Gongsun Yan and Gao Sheng left, Wei Yan ordered his men to arrange for Su Qin to rest in another barracks near the Chinese army's tent. He also sent people to treat his injuries and took the initiative to send Su Qin rich food.
Without anyone to torture him, Su Qin's injuries gradually improved and he became more energetic. He was grateful to Wei Yan from the bottom of his heart.
But whenever he went out for activities outside the tent, he always found a soldier following him twenty or thirty steps away. When he stopped, the other party stopped, and when he moved, the other party followed him. When Su Qin returned to the tent, the soldier
Just watching the movement in the tent not far away.
Su Qin realized that Gongsun Yan was worried about him, so he sent someone to follow him. He said to himself: "You can follow me if you want. How can I escape when I'm like this? Besides, if I escape, Wei Han will bear the consequences."
If he bears great responsibility, why should he cause trouble to his benefactor?"
A few days later, one evening, Su Qin was closing his eyes and recuperating in his tent. Suddenly two Chinese army guards walked in from outside the tent and said to Su Qin: "General Wei Yan has invited Mr. Su to have dinner with him in the tent."
Su Qin was quite surprised after hearing this, because he had been pessimistic about his future since he became a prisoner of the Qin people. Unexpectedly, after meeting Wei Xuan, his fate took a turn for the better.
Wei Han also treated him as a distinguished guest and invited him to dinner, which was even more unexpected. Su Qin's gratitude to Wei Han was further enhanced. He quickly tidied up his clothes and followed the two guards to see Wei Han.
Entering the Chinese army's tent, Wei Yan stood up to greet Su Qin and said, "I am busy with military affairs. I have not visited Mr. Su for several days. It is quite rude."
"I am a dying person. Thanks to the general's love, I have survived till now. I have not thanked you for your kindness. How dare I bother the general to visit you." Su Qin had already been extremely grateful. Seeing Wei Xian behaving like this, he felt even more guilty and respectfully replied.
Come to Wei Xuan.
The two exchanged some pleasantries, and Wei Xian made Su Qin sit at the guest seat on the left, and he sat back at the general's seat. The Chinese guards brought food into the tent, and soon the food and wine were laid out.
Wei Xian waved his hand and ordered all his men to withdraw from the tent, leaving Su Qin alone to talk with him in the tent.
Wei Yan and Su Qin toasted to each other, wishing each other longevity, and fulfilling the opening etiquette of a scholar drinking. After that, Wei Yan said: "Mr. Su is a disciple of Senior Guigu, and he must have some understanding of the current situation. I wonder what you think of it.
current situation."
Because Su Qin was grateful for Wei Xun's kindness and admired Wei Xun's demeanor, he talked about everything.
Some time ago in Yunmeng Mountain, he heard Mr. Guigu and Sun Binzong discussing the general situation of the world, and benefited a lot. So he recounted what he heard, and of course added his own understanding.
Wei Xuan listened patiently, took pictures of several cases, and repeatedly praised his wisdom and wisdom. Su Qin felt somewhat smug about it, and was glad that he had received guidance from a wise master.
Wei Yan praised him, but then sighed a few times. Seeing this, Su Qin was puzzled and asked Wei Yan why he was sighing.
Wei Xuan replied: "As the chief general of Qin, I defeated 50,000 Wei troops a month ago, killed Wei general Long Shen, and crossed the river to besiege Quwo. Although I did great service to Qin, I also avenged the king of Wei who killed my relatives.
Hatred. However, Wei is my ancestral country after all. How can I bear to be defeated by me today?"
As Wei Xuan spoke, there were tears in his eyes. He was the son of the royal family of the Wei State, so it was naturally difficult for him to let go of his family affection for the Wei State. When he spoke, he was conflicted and tangled in his heart, which turned over and over again, making him depressed.
Seeing this, Su Qin couldn't help but be moved, and also felt a trace of sadness.
Wei Xuan raised his cup and took a sip, stood up suddenly, pulled out his sword, and danced several times in the tent. While dancing with the sword, he sang Wei's ballad:
"There are peaches in the garden, which are really delicious food. I am worried, so I sing and ballad. Those who don't know me say that my scholars are arrogant. That's what they say, Master said. Why is it? My heart is worried. Who knows it! Who knows it?
!Don’t even think about it!”
This ballad was widely circulated in the Wei Dynasty. The general idea is that a scholar has longing in his heart, his body is broken, and he ignores others. People only know his appearance, but who can understand his inner thoughts.
Wei Yan sang and danced with great emotion, and it was obvious that his mood at this moment was the same as that of the scholar in the ballad.
After a song and dance, Wei Xian stood leaning on his sword, with tears streaming down his face. Su Qin advised: "The general's reputation spreads far and wide, and your grievances are known to everyone. Today, the general has avenged his grievances. He should be happy. Why bother looking for him again?"
trouble?"
Wei Yan wiped his tears, sat down at the banquet, and said: "The world only knows my empty name, but they don't know that I am sad in my heart. Now Quwo is right in front of me. If we capture Quwo, Wei will lose the center of gravity in the west. I have to do it."
It would be unbearable to take it.
"Qin Jun sent Gongsun Yan to help in the battle, but he actually supervised my attack on Quwo. I was riding a tiger and couldn't get off, so I was in trouble. I heard Mr. Su's words today and I know that you are an extraordinary person. I wonder if you have a clever plan to solve my difficulties?"
Su Qin was moved by Wei Xuan's feelings for his ancestral country, "The general has treated me with as much kindness as a mountain, and Su Qin is so heartbroken that he has nothing to repay. I am willing to serve the general." Su Qin replied sincerely.
He thought hard, hoping to find a good solution, but the solution did not come out all at once. While he was thinking, he talked to Wei Xuan to relieve his depression at the moment.
"If the general is willing to withdraw his troops, what is there to worry about?" Su Qin asked tentatively.
Wei Han hesitated for a moment, and finally made up his mind to tell the truth. After all, Su Qin was from the Eastern princes. At this time, in the Qin camp, he was the only one who could help him. Wei Han cleared his throat and said solemnly: "I can write a letter to request Qin.
I want you to withdraw your troops, but I am afraid that Qin Jun will not only not withdraw your troops, but will also doubt me."
He paused and then added: "If the deputy general Gongsun Yan and I wrote the letter together, and the generals and the deputy generals agreed, then the matter would be much easier to handle."
Su Qin became interested, and he followed Wei Xuan's thinking and analyzed: "Gongsun Yan is cunning, and he has just been rewarded by Lord Qin. He is eager to perform meritorious services, so it may be difficult for him to agree. However, people always have weaknesses. The key is
Can you seize the weakness and use it for me?"
