Chapter 11 Trading Prisoners
The night was low, and the breeze was gentle on the sky, blew Qian Xiaoxing's clothes and swung around. Qian Xiaoxing looked into the distance and fell into deep thought. It had been two days since the Hu army arrived, but except for the first time when nearly five thousand casualties were killed and killed by the Cang Xiaoling, there was no movement again. This made Qian Xiaoxing very uneasy, afraid that Sima Yiqing, a cunning guy, would use secret tricks.
If you come to attack the city openly, you will not be afraid of the Hu army too many, but it is easy to avoid hidden arrows on the open guns, and the more you don’t move, Qian Xiaoxing feels more worried. The reconnaissance soldiers come back to report, but the Hu army just set up camp and did not find any abnormalities. Qian Xiaoxing asked the reconnaissance soldiers to observe the other party’s movements more carefully and come back to report as soon as there is any situation.
Qian Xiaoxing looked at the location of the Hu army camp that the scouts drew. The Hu army camp was located on two peaks, and the camp was also stationed on the two peaks. This layout was triangular, like a big crab. If the Si army attacked, the two crabs would be surrounded immediately with their claws. It can be seen that this formation showed the old Taoist Sima Yiqing.
"Seventh brother, you are still here so late. What's the matter?" Lu Shengzhong came to the city wall and found Qian Xiaoxing and asked.
Qian Xiaoxing shook his head and said, "Why did the Hu army be afraid of going to fight and would not come to attack the city. It was really empty. By the way, how about the captives of Lin State?"
Lu Shengzhong replied: "It has been detained in Longzhan City, and I will be able to go to Panlong Pass tomorrow. Seventh brother, do you think you want to exchange and release people with Lin Guo, what are you going to change?"
"Huju Pass, I want Huju Pass." Qian Xiaoxing replied immediately.
"Are you saying that you should use these prisoners to exchange for Huju Pass?" This answer made Lu Shengzhong stunned after hearing this. Indeed, if Lin Guo agreed, he would still be threatened by Lin Guo at any time in the future. If Huju Pass was there and then re-transformed, then Lin Guo would not have to be afraid if he wanted to use strong ones, but asked in confusion: "Did Lin Guo agree?"
Qian Xiaoxing said firmly: "If you don't agree, you have to agree, otherwise the captives of Lin Guo will not be able to go back."
"Where are those ten thousand war horses to Lin Guo?" Lu Shengzhong asked again.
Qian Xiaoxing thought for a while and said, "It depends on the situation. If you have to return it unless you have to, it is a huge wealth."
"Well, it seems that this negotiation requires someone who is good at speaking. Seventh brother, who are you going to?" Lu Shengzhong asked.
Qian Xiaoxing held the city wall with both hands and stared at the sky and said, "This matter is of great importance. It seems that I am the only one who went there."
"This..." Lu Shengzhong immediately retorted: "Lin's attitude towards us is not clear yet. If you come to the death, Seventh Brother, you will undoubtedly go into the tiger's mouth. It will be too dangerous. I don't agree."
"If I don't go, I'm not at ease. If we talk, we will still have to return to Panlong Pass. We really can't bear the loss." Qian Xiaoxing said helplessly.
Lu Shengzhong suggested: "Let Ni Qiu go, he went there last time, and it will definitely be done."
Qian Xiaoxing saw that Lu Shengzhong was concerned about his safety, but was grateful. When this negotiation was held, Lin Guo’s reaction was indeed unpredictable. The risk was still very high. He thought for a while and said, “Otherwise, Ni Qiu is the messenger and I am the entourage. If I don’t reveal my identity, the danger would be much smaller.”
Seeing that he could not convince Qian Xiaoxing's trip to Lin Guo, Lu Shengzhong had to say, "Then I'll go with you!"
Qian Xiaoxing laughed and said, "You go and I go. Who will lead the Independent Brigade? Don't forget that there are 100,000 Hu troops in front of Cangqiong Pass. Don't worry, Brother Zhong, I will lead my guard company, and I will help them arm them. If Lin Guo really turns against him, they will also protect me and send me back to Si Guo."
Lu Shengzhong was still worried. If Qian Xiaoxing had a few shortcomings, he would have to protect Si Guo's stability alone. He was really unable to do so. He said helplessly: "But..."
"Don't have it, Lin Guo and Xiao Cui, I can come forward to help me when the time comes. Don't worry, Brother Zhong." Qian Xiaoxing remembered Xiao Cui. He hadn't seen her for nearly a year. How good is that cute Xiao Cui now? His thoughts suddenly dissipated.
After hearing this, Lu Shengzhong could no longer refute, so he had to say, "Seventh brother, who do you want to go here? How many people do you want? The management will pick it up, safety is the first priority."
"I can do it, I will start preparing tomorrow." Qian Xiaoxing thought that although the guard company has extraordinary martial arts skills, he still has to arm them. Like modern special forces, he is almost the same as one blocking ten.
Thinking of this, Qian Xiaoxing sent a military newspaper and sent it from Cangkong Pass through the light teleportation station to Guanduzhong, asking Yang Sishi, the head of the arsenal, to come immediately.
Taking advantage of this time, Qian Xiaoxing also drew a few pictures. Modern special forces have abundant weapons, and the grenades thrown include incendiary bombs, smoke bombs, poison gas bombs, flash bombs, etc. There are currently incendiary bombs. Qian Xiaoxing wants smoke bombs and makes them according to modern smoke bombs, which requires a lot of yellow phosphorus. Qian Xiaoxing has no time to develop this, and only requires that as much smoke as possible.
For poison gas bombs, there is no way to make it without poison gas raw materials, and the technical content is too high. Qian Xiaoxing suddenly thought of using chili powder and lime powder instead. As long as these dust can float away, the enemy's combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
With poison gas bombs, our side may of course be subject to control, so gas masks must be equipped. With glass as eyepieces, other locations are wrapped with leather, and the breathing pipes are filtered with cotton yarn.
There is also the spitting gun. The Thunderbolt car is too large and it is not convenient to carry. Qian Xiaoxing considered designing a small pressure device. Although the distance is not much, it is also very deterrent.
It was already midnight after drawing these drawings, and Yang Sishi was almost over from Guandu.
Qian Xiaoxing saw Yang Sishi who was exhausted and said, "Thank you for your hard work this time, I'll call you from afar."
Yang Sishi immediately replied: "The Chief of Staff called me late at night, so there must be something important. It is rare to have the Chief of Staff's instructions, and I will come no matter how hard I work."
Qian Xiaoxing nodded and handed the drawn drawings to Yang Sishi. He explained the drawings again. After Yang Sishi confirmed that there was no problem, he said: "I expect that in three days, I will go to Linguo. These things must be handed over to me in three days."
"No problem," although Yang Sishi felt that time was a little tight, no matter how tight it was, he had to make the things.
"Well, that's not too late. You can go back overnight, it's a blessing." Qian Xiaoxing ordered.
Yang Sishi bowed his fists and said, "Chief of Staff, you are polite. You have devoted yourself to the State of Si and do not care about your fatigue. What else can we say about fatigue? I'll go back now."
Qian Xiaoxing looked at Yang Sishi and turned away. It was nearly a hundred miles away. It was difficult to walk at night. Thank you so much for your hard work.
Early the next morning, Qian Xiaoxing asked Lu Shengzhong to station in Cangkong Pass. He came to Longzhan City and escorted Lin's prisoners to Panlong Pass. The reason for the replacement was that Qian Xiaoxing wanted to get some information about Lin's country from Ma Hua.
Lin's prisoners were trapped with ropes, and they were strung together with another rope. Otherwise, so many prisoners would be difficult to guard. Qian Xiaoxing rode his horse to the edge of Ma Hua and said, "General Ma, don't be safe."
Ma Hua tied his hands behind his back and glanced at Qian Xiaoxing and said, "What, are you here to ridicule me?"
"No, no," Qian Xiaoxing saw that the Mahua attitude was unfriendly, so he got off the Mahua side by side and said, "It was beyond my expectation that Lin Guo actually agreed to Hu Guo to attack Si Guo."
Ma Hua said angrily: "If you hadn't delayed the wedding period repeatedly and despised my country of Lin, we wouldn't have sent troops to fight!"
So that's it. Qian Xiaoxing immediately understood when he heard this. It seemed that delaying Si Yingying's engagement still annoyed Lin Guo. But now it's okay. Since they have turned against each other, they don't have to go to Lin Guo to discuss the divorce.
Qian Xiaoxing replied: "The country of Lin is rich and the people are strong, and the soldiers are strong. If you want to bully our country of Si, you will fight as soon as you want. However, Si is so weak. Lin also sent 10,000 cavalry. It's really a matter of Cheese. But maybe these 10,000 cavalry are the worst troops in Lin."
Ma Hua suddenly got angry one day, his eyes widened and he replied loudly: "Although we were captured by you, you cannot slander us. We are the best main cavalry in the Dalin Kingdom."
Qian Xiaoxing took the opportunity to say, "It's still the main cavalry. Could it be that you still have many cavalry units?"
"Of course! Among the 30,000 cavalry, we are the most powerful and have the most military achievements." Ma Hua said proudly.
Qian Xiaoxing smiled after hearing this. He learned the value of their troops from the conversation between Ma Hua just now. It seems that it is indeed very promising to use them to exchange for Huju Pass.
