Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

A few old servants were sweeping the snow in front of the main entrance of Lord Wu'an's mansion, preparing to clear a path for horses and horses to walk and gallop.

There was a sound of horseshoes suddenly, and the old servants heard the sound and looked around, and found a tall Qin general galloping towards him, and got off his horse in front of Wu'an Jun's mansion.

These old servants in Lord Wu'an's mansion were all his own soldiers who followed Bai Qi to fight everywhere. Naturally, they were no strangers to this general, and they greeted the general one after another: "I have seen General Sima Jin."

Sima Jin nodded, and said in a low voice, "I've come to ask to see Lord Wu An. I don't know if Lord Wu An is here?"

An old servant said with a smile: "General, please wait here for a while, let someone go in and report to the king."

After a while, the old servant came out and smiled at Sima Jin, "General, your honor."

Sima Jin nodded and strode into the mansion.

It was still the gazebo where we met last time, Bai Qi sat there quietly, with a stove in front of him and a slip of paper in his hand, he didn't look like a decisive general, but rather An old man who takes care of his life.

Sima Jin didn't dare to neglect, walked up to Bai Qi in a few steps, and saluted respectfully: "Sima Jin has met Lord Wu An."

Bai Qi raised his head slightly, glanced at Sima Jin, paused for a while on Sima Jin's shoulder, and suddenly said, "Are you injured?"

Sima Jin smiled wryly and said, "Exactly."

"Why are you hurt?" Bai Qi asked.

Sima Jin said: "A few days ago, I went to expel the Yiqu people, but I didn't want to be injured by the Yiqu people's cold arrows."

"Yiqu hum!" Bai Qi pointed to another seat next to the stove: "Sit down, and tell me about the situation of Yiqu people."

Since Qin State lost in the last war and was forced to recognize Yiqu's independence, the Yiqu people under Yiqu Sheng's rule have become a major problem for Qin State.

Yiqu Sheng abolished the semi-nomadic and semi-agricultural policy that Qin had previously implemented in the Yiqu people's territory, and directly returned the Yiqu people to the era of pure nomadism.

In this way, the Yiqu people moved freely and horizontally on the plateau, their mobility was greatly improved, and the threat to the Qin State also increased.

Especially after Yiqu Sheng led the Yiqu cavalry to go north a few months ago and helped Zhao Guo win a big victory over the Huns. 2 people.

[-] cavalry, this is exactly the number that Li Mu relied on to wreak havoc in Guanzhong.

When autumn came, Yiqu Sheng led the [-] Yiqu cavalry southward almost immediately, and carried out a plunder against Qin.

Prince Qin was furious when he heard the news that the Yiqu people were going south, and ordered Sima Jin to lead [-] infantry and [-] chariots north to meet the Yiqu people.

After Sima Jin went north, he fought with Yiqu Sheng several times in a row. Although the Qin army ended in victory, because everyone in Yiqu was cavalry coming and going like the wind, the Qin army, as the winning side, could not continue to expand the results of the battle. He watched the Yiqu people walk away helplessly.

The wound on Sima Jin's shoulder was caused by the fact that after a certain victory, he wanted to lead the bodyguard cavalry to pursue the Yiqu people, but was ambushed by the Yiqu people instead.

Speaking of this, Sima Jin couldn't help but let out a hey, and after cursing a foul word, he said: "Those Yiqu bastards are really scheming, and they almost fell into their trap!"

Bai Qi put down the bamboo slips in his hand, and took a deep look at Sima Jin.

An excellent commander and an excellent monarch have one thing in common, that is, knowing people and doing their jobs well.

Bai Qi is very aware of Sima Jin's style. Sima Jin has always been known for his high strength and daring to fight. Now that the war has ended for almost two months, Sima Jin's injuries have not healed. Sima Jin understated how fierce the battle was.

Bai Qi shook his head, and said to Sima Jin: "Since you are already a general, you can't be arrogant! You must know that when the army goes out, the lives of thousands of troops depend on the general. Unless it is absolutely necessary, you must not take risks lightly. !"

Facing Bai Qi's lesson, Sima Jin naturally complied.

There was a sudden silence in the small pavilion.

After a while, Bai Qi said slowly, "You didn't come here today just to tell me about the tragic battle that day, did you?"

Sima Jin's body shook slightly when he heard the words, subconsciously straightened his body, and assumed an attitude that was close to vigilance, as if he was panicked when his mind was screamed out.

But immediately Sima Jin realized that this attitude seemed inappropriate, so he immediately resumed his previous respectful attitude, and said in a low voice: "Return to Lord Wu'an, Sima Jin is indeed entrusted to come here today."

Bai Qi looked at Sima Jin calmly: "What is entrusted to you?"

Sima Jin looked around, as if he was worried that someone might be eavesdropping.

The corner of Bai Qi's mouth twitched slightly: "Just say what you have to say."

Sima Jin nodded, took a long breath, seemed to have made up his mind, and then said to Bai Qi: "That man hopes to cooperate with Lord Wu An."

Bai Qi took a deep look at Sima Jin, and asked slowly, "Who is it?"

Sima Jin seemed a little reluctant to say it, but obviously it would be inappropriate not to say it at this time.

"Yangquan Jun Michen."

Bai Qi's eyes moved slightly, and a clear expression appeared on his face: "So that's why Sima has now taken refuge in Mi, right?"

As soon as these words were uttered, Sima Jin blushed with embarrassment, and it took a long time before he said expectantly, "Back to Mr. Wu'an, this is cooperation!"

Bai Qi sighed softly, and said: "Sima Jin, I can understand your feelings. After all, I was under house arrest by the king at that time. You and I have always been close. It is only natural to want to find a new backer."

As soon as Bai Qi said this, Sima Jin's complexion improved a little, but he still had a somewhat ashamed expression, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Wu An, alas, I am not alone in Sima's matter." It can be said."

Bai Qiqiu nodded, without any expression on his face: "So this time, are you representing Mi Chen to discuss cooperation with me?"

Sima Jin hurriedly said, "Exactly."

Sima Jin didn't seem to have any objection to Bai Qi calling Mi Chen's name directly.

Bai Qi pondered for a moment, then said, "Why does Mi Chen want to cooperate with me?"

Sima Jin Gong said: "Back to Mr. Wu'an, now that Lu Buwei and Cai Ze are fighting every step of the way, and it seems that the prince is behind him, Mr. Yangquan is already struggling and needs allies to help, so"

Bai Qi interrupted Sima Jin: "So Mi Chen is going to join forces with the old man to deal with Lu Buwei and Cai Ze?"

Sima Jin nodded, and said: "Mr. Yangquan asked me to tell you that if Lu Buwei and Cai Ze can be defeated, then Mr. Yangquan will definitely support Mr. Wu'an's opinion on military affairs in the future!"

Bai Qi fell into deep thought again.

After a while, Bai Qi sighed softly and said: "General Sima, please go back. I will not agree to what you said."

Sima Jin was shocked when he heard the words, and couldn't help but said, "Mr. Wu An, please."

Bai Qi interrupted Sima Jin again, saying: "Mi Chen wants to rebel, right?"

These words hit Sima Jin's body hard like a sledgehammer, causing his body to tremble so violently that he almost fell down.

Bai Qi looked at Sima Jin coldly, and said slowly: "After all, Mi Chen is not the prince's real uncle, and the prince has never visited the queen since he took office. The meaning of this must be quite clear to Mi Chen. So Mi Chen Chen wants to unite with me to change a prince, so he specially ordered Ru to be a lobbyist, right?"

Looking at Sima Jin's face, Bai Qi knew in his heart that he was right.

Bai Qi shook his head, looking at Sima Jin as if he was looking at an idiot: "This is a serious crime of treason. If one is not good, the Sima family will be punished by everyone. Are you really ready for this?"

Sima Jin's face was pale and he was completely speechless.
