Rebirth of Shuangshu

Chapter 172 Negotiations
Two days later, the Qin army arrived at Xiaguan.

Beard returned to the usual way, and checked the local bulletin board every time he went to a place.This time, he saw the expected code words.

This is the code word he and Lin Xiaoxiao set, and only two of them understood the meaning.

He did not have him in this expedition with the army, but he tried his best to fight for it.

He knew that Lin Xiaoxiao could teleport to Qin Jing, so he kept paying attention to the message on the bulletin board for fear of missing it.

On the same day, Hu Zigui found Lin Xiaoxiao on the mountain.

Lin Xiaoxiao prepared tea and fruit.The two talked while eating, but it seemed quite leisurely without tension.

"I guess you will most likely be with the army, and you were waiting here two days ago."

"I also expected that you would come to me in advance."

"Stop talking nonsense, is Rui Bowan in the Qin army?"

"Now, he must go with the army, and he must wear armor when attacking Ruidu."

"Is he willing?"

"I don't think so. As far as I know, Rui Bowan didn't agree with the Qin army attacking the country of Rui, and even had a quarrel with the King of Qin in Xianyang. It's just that the arm can't hold back the thigh, and the king of Qin is determined to take down the country of Rui."

"Sure enough."

"Didn't the mountain girl know that this would happen, why did she sigh?"

"It's because I know my fate that I can't help but sigh in my heart."

"Could it be that the mountain girl is worried about Rui Bowan's future?"

"King Qin has made arrangements for him?"

"It is said that the King of Qin appreciates Rui Bowan's talent quite a lot, and invited him to drink with him for several days in a row. The King of Qin intends to keep Rui Bowan near Xianyang. It is certain that he will be reduced to a noble, but he may even get a good job."

"If Rui Bowan loses the land of Rui and gains the land of Qin, maybe it will be a blessing in disguise."

Lin Xiaoxiao nodded slightly.

"I came to see you for two things.

One is my Lai Qishan, I don't plan to help Rui Guo in this war, I hope to maintain neutrality between Qin Rui.If the State of Qin conquers the State of Rui, I, Lai Qishan, would like to submit to the King of Qin. "

"Shannu believes that King Qin can unify the world so much?"

"Yes. The world has been fighting for hundreds of years, and the people have long been miserable. Unification is the trend of the times and the people's will. Several generations of Qin Kings have worked hard to rule, and there are eight hundred miles of Qinchuan. Qin."

Hu Zigui pondered Lin Xiaoxiao's words for a long time.

"Can Gui spread Shannu's words?"

Lin Xiaoxiao nodded after a moment of thought.

"Shannu's second thing?"

"Cui Panpan's mother and son were taken hostage by Rui Jiang. She didn't know that Pingping was Rui Bowan's son, and mistakenly thought he was Tian Mu's son."

When Hu Zigui came to Laiqi Mountain last year, he knew that Cui Panpan had given birth to a child, and also knew that the child belonged to Rui Bowan, and also knew that Rui Bowan didn't know about it.

"If Rui Jiang's side proposes such a negotiation, I hope you can make a difference and save the lives of their mother and child."

"I will pay attention to this matter. Cui Panpan is not planning to tell Rui Bowan about this?"

"She hasn't decided yet. This is her private matter, so I can't say more about it."

"Speaking of which, Tian Mu's sons and daughters all died in the battle when the Koreans captured the capital of Zheng State."

Speaking of Tian Mu, he was able to escape the first battle of the Han army attacking Zheng, which was also a coincidence.At that time, Xinzheng Gong, who had just taken office, did not trust Tian Mu and transferred him away from the capital.

Tian Mu's children did not leave the capital with him, and the whole family died in the fall of the capital.

Later, Tian Mu led the remnants to defect to King Qin, who married a princess to him.Tian Mu is over forty years old, and the princess is just over twenty, and the two have no children yet.

"The grievances between Cui Panpan and Tian Mu have long been settled, and the two have long since had nothing to do with each other. Rui Bowan knows her past, so there is no need to say anything."

Lin Xiaoxiao hesitated for a while, and then asked: "The country of Rui is a tiny place, why did the King of Qin send two commanders in chief and deputy?"

There is only one city in the country of Rui, and it is enough to send a general to attack it.The two generals seem redundant, and conflicts about earning merit are likely to occur.

Hu Zigui suddenly sneered and shook his head: "Shannv, do you know that there was originally only one coach for this expedition, and the other one was forced in later?"

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't expect it to be like this, and asked with interest: "Is Bai Sheng stuffed in?"

Hu Zigui gave a thumbs up: "The mountain girl's guess is really accurate."

"I've never heard of this person before. It's very surprising that he suddenly appeared and was named the coach. I heard that this person is from the same clan as Bai Qi?"

"Exactly. Hey, General Bai Qi has been at odds with the King of Qin for the past two years. I'm afraid it's not very good. Bai Sheng was brought in by the Queen Mother to ease the relationship between the King of Qin and General Bai. But, I don't think Bai Sheng Sheng is not desirable, I'm afraid things will backfire."

Bai Qi is a famous military strategist in history, but also has mixed reputation.

Lin Xiaoxiao sighed: "Bai Qi's methods are cruel, but he is for the state of Qin, and the King of Qin will kill him after all, otherwise, the King of Qin will bear the blame for what Bai Qi caused."

Hu Zigui understood the meaning of Lin Xiaoxiao's words, and his face darkened.

Lin Xiaoxiao hesitated for a long time, but still said: "Qin's army will suffer a lot when they attack Rui this time. I heard that Rui Jiang has ordered people to set up an ambush in Guxia Ridge."

"Guxia Ridge is a dangerous place. Tian Mu has already considered that there will be an ambush. This time, the Qin army will temporarily stay at Xiaguan to make a judgment on Guxia Ridge."

When Lin Xiaoxiao and Hu Zigui were talking on the mountain, there were also people talking in the gorge below the mountain.

Xiaguan camp area, in charge of camp.

A sound of quarreling came from the tent, scaring the soldiers guarding outside into silence.

After a while, Tian Mu walked out of the tent angrily, followed by several lieutenants.

It turned out that Tian Mu came to Bai Sheng early in the morning to discuss the matter of Guxia Ridge, but Bai Sheng made him wait for more than an hour and did not listen to Tian Mu's analysis at all.

The scouts sent reported that there were signs of human activity in Guxia Ridge ahead, and Tian Mu judged that the Rui people must have set up traps in Guxia Ridge.

However, Bai Sheng stubbornly believed that this was Rui people's suspicious strategy.

Bai Sheng also used the fact that Qin Jun was cheated in besieging Wei as an example.

It took a lot of effort for the Qin army to attack Wei, and they were scared back without a fight.This incident made the Qin army the laughing stock of the surrounding vassal states.

Bai Sheng compared these two things, but his words were a bit unreasonable.

Tian Mu didn't say not to attack Rui, but wanted to discuss with Bai Sheng how to deal with Rui's ambush.

Tian Mu really wanted to bring down Rui to make meritorious service.But Bai Sheng seemed to be afraid of being robbed of the credit by him, so he was very jealous and guarded against him.

As Lin Xiaoxiao and Hu Zigui said, the two generals of the Qin State had already had differences and suspicions before this battle was fought.

After seeing Hu Zigui, Lin Xiaoxiao returned to Laiqi Mountain that day.

In just two or three days, great changes have taken place in Rui Country.

Ruidu has closed the city gate.Rui Jiang ordered conscription in the name of Ji Mo.

All the shops in Chongyifang are busy handling goods, and many owners plan to clear their warehouses and quit.

Not connected to the capital, Chongyifang has no city walls, but a completely open city.

As long as the Qin army crossed Guxia Ridge, Chongyifang would be exposed to them.

As long as the Qin army came to loot, the shop owners would lose everything.

So, don't clear the warehouse at this time, and keep it to reward Qin Jun?
