Chapter 114
After everyone sighed at Si Mang's words, they immediately invited Mr. Xiahou to come to the court and narrate the incident in detail. After hearing this, Mr. Xiahou said, "Take a hundred chariots to the field to transport grain. I will pay attention to the details. I wish you nothing to worry about."
Then he and Si Mang went to the military camp.
Lord Xinling and the other three returned to the front of the hall, where the guests were about to finish their meal. Lord Xinling greeted everyone, ate a few bites in a hurry, and then stopped eating. Zhang Yue and Zhongyue also stopped. Lord Xinling ordered the remaining people to leave.
The food was brought to the back house to be eaten with the city lord's family. The three of them went down the steps and communicated with the guests in front of the court, learning about the situation and giving some instructions. The guests gradually dispersed.
When I was young, the young masters came to report that there was only one leather chariot in the city. Captain Daliang came from Xingyang and asked Lord Xinling to mobilize the chariot. Lord Xinling came out in person, discussed with Zhang Ye, and sent the city lord
The leather chariots in the palace were ready, and he ordered his own leather chariots to be lent to the young masters. Seeing that Lord Xinling had taken out all his chariots, the young masters did not want to make any more trouble. After finishing, they got into the car and headed for the Great Wall.
go.
Later, Lord Xinling called a shrewd retainer and told him in detail what he was going to do. He ordered him to go to the abandoned city immediately and inform Jin Bi of what he was going to do. He also asked him to send a chariot to the small town to collect grain tomorrow.
After another hour, Si Mang came to report that everything had been arranged properly. His general and ten of his confidants went to Futian. Lord Xinling went out to see him off. Si Mang and his ten confidants prepared an ox cart and set off.
Already.
As the sun rose higher and higher, it gradually became quiet in front of the mansion. Lord Xinling led dozens of guests who had no errands and walked out of the city, preparing to hunt some game. However, he saw Mr. Xiahou leading a large group of common people over.
Mr. Xiahou saw Lord Xinling and his party from a distance, so he asked the common people to go ahead, while he and another person stayed behind to wait. As Lord Xinling approached, he saw that the other person was actually the city lord.
Mr. Xia Hou said: "If the city lord and the people of the country are willing to provide chariots and horses to serve the emperor, I will order them to return home and prepare chariots. If there are no chariots and horses in the family, they will also be promised as husbands."
The little city lord stepped forward and bowed deeply and said: "Your Majesty has shown great kindness, so that the people of the city can be exempted from their sins. All the nobles and inferiors of Yucheng are grateful and are willing to die for it."
Lord Xinling didn't know what Marquis Xia had promised to the people of the city, asking the city lord and the people to be loyal, so he could only say vaguely: "But I will try my best, and I will never forget it." Seeing Lord Xinling say it himself, the city lord even shed tears of gratitude.
, thanked him again and again, and Mr. Xinling had no choice but to bow in return. Then he said to Mr. Xiahou, "Thank you for your hard work along the way, sir." Mr. Xiahou said, "It's a small matter." After chatting for a while, he said goodbye to all the guests.
Lord Xinling and others walked several miles and came to a place with dense dry grass and decided to hunt here. The disciples dispersed according to their duties. When Lord Xinling left the city, he only took one bow with him, but he found several bows in the city lord's mansion.
Several diners wore them separately. When the diners without bows dispersed, Mr. Xinling and the diners with bows also set up the strings, straightened out the arrows, and put them away. When the order was given, all the diners shouted in unison to strike the grass.
As he walked, a hare shot out. Lord Xinling raised his hand and shot an arrow, hitting it in the butt. All the disciples cheered in unison. The hare ran for a few steps with the arrow, and finally collapsed. Several disciples stepped forward and caught it.
In the midst of the commotion, I suddenly saw dust rising in the distance, and a leather cart was rushing towards me. It seemed that this cart was going to the small town, and it seemed that I also saw the dust rising here, so it came straight over. The diners around me didn't know the details.
They hurriedly gathered around Lord Xinling and drew their bows to control arrows to prevent any unexpected events.
Fifty steps away, the carriage changed from a brisk pace to a walk. The man in the carriage shouted: "I would like to see the general!"
Lord Xinling hurriedly stepped forward and said loudly: "Wuji, I would like to teach you!" The diners on the left and right recognized that the person in the car was Jin Bi, and they also put away their bows and arrows, whistled, and sent the diners away.
They gather.
The carriage stopped ten steps away, and Jin Bi jumped out of the car. The man on the right side of the carriage who was leading the carriage was actually a retainer who came to deliver a message. When he arrived in front of Lord Xinling, the retainer said politely: "Doctor Jin Bi has heard of the general's order.
If something comes back, I would like to see the general in person."
Lord Xinling said: "Wuji accepts it with care!"
Jin Bi took a step forward and bowed: "I will be punished by death for disturbing the young master's leisure!"
Lord Xinling paid his respects and said: "The doctor has taught me, and I respect you. I am a young man who is careless and indulges in entertainment. I dare you to go back to your house and talk to me."
Jin Bi said: "The matter is urgent. Please help the young master drive the chariot."
Lord Xinling saw that Jin Bi's face was covered with sweat. He didn't know what had happened, so he turned around and said to all the guests: "I will go back to the house with the doctor. After you have gathered together, we will go back to the house together." All the guests behind him responded.
Lord Ling and Jin Bi walked towards the carriage together.
When the driver saw the two people approaching, he was about to get out of the car and give up the driver's seat. Jin Bi stretched out his hand to stop him and said: "If the matter is urgent, there is no need to change seats." He gave up Lord Xinling to the left side of the car, and he took the right position. He stood still.
The driver shook the reins and started, looking towards the small town. A cloud of smoke and dust rose up behind the car.
Lord Xinling said: "What's important? Has the military situation changed?"
Jin Bi said: "Yes and no. I heard that the young master wants to send people to the envoy fields to transport grain to help the army. Yes, no?"
Lord Xinling said: "That's right. I can't see one hundred thousand Wei people living in a place of death."
Jin Bi said: "Young Master's benevolence is felt by heaven and earth. But it is not the right time."
Lord Xinling said: "What do you mean?"
Jin Bi said: "Young Master has raised an army of 100,000 people. How long will it last?"
Lord Xinling said: "First of all, I will take five hundred thousand stones as pledge. How long do you think it can be raised?"
Jin Bi said: "An army of one hundred thousand will cost thousands of dan per day; half a million dan will last for many years. What do you want me to do with you? Will we support it next year?"
Lord Xinling was at a loss for words for a moment and said, "Young man, I hope you will teach me!"
Jin Bi said: "The people do their best, and the land makes the best use of it, and the government is governed. If a hundred thousand people abandon their homeland, they are conquering the country. If they are left in a useless place, they are abandoning the people's power. The people,
The foundation of a country is that if the power of the people is abandoned, the foundation will be weak. How can the country be strong? The current plan must be used by hundreds of thousands of people. It is a waste of money and food, and a waste of time. Although it is said to preserve the people, it is actually the same as the remnant people, which is not a plan.
Got it."
Lord Xinling said: "When you are an old man, when you are planning for a country, there is nothing he can do that is not as good as yours. I hope that you will think about it, what should you do now?"
Jin Bi said: "Daliang Lieutenant must have a plan when he comes here. Is Daliang Lieutenant speechless?"
Lord Xinling said: "Daliang Lieutenant fell seriously ill during the journey. His body cannot move, his mouth cannot speak, and he cannot hear his plan."
Jin Bi asked: "What is the king's order?"
Lord Xinling said: "If the rules are consistent, Wuji should leave the army of his own accord. However, Captain Daliang is seriously ill and cannot bear to leave his ears, so he will temporarily take him."
Jin Bi said: "Young master, the king's younger brother. Why should I replace him in less than ten days? I will definitely go deep into the tiger's den and escape death. Therefore, I will save him, and the king will fight Qin urgently."
Lord Xinling glanced at Jin Bi and said, "What a doctor says must have its basis?"
Jin Bi said: "That's not true. I just watched Wei Daliang's actions and guessed it myself. Wei Daliang is always in good health. How can he not be so sick? Is he escaping to a place where he will die?"
