Everyone saw that the pleasant atmosphere suddenly fell silent, and they also fell silent without knowing why. Hou Ying was silent for a while and said to everyone: "It's almost midnight, and everyone is going to sleep." Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what Hou Ying meant.

Suddenly depressed, after hearing Hou Ying's order, they did not dare to disobey, so they all saluted and left. Hou Ying sat alone in the court for a long time before leaving.

When he got up the next morning, Hou Ying asked someone to answer the orders on his behalf, gave some instructions, put on a long gown, and went out. He did not return until night. Everyone gathered around him and took out the food table to serve him. Hou Ying was a little tired, but he also

Qiang Qiang said: "You guys want to eat?" Everyone said: "Already eaten." Hou Ying said: "Wait for me to change clothes." Everyone stayed in front of the steps, Hou Ying went to the back room, half-paid and changed into ordinary warrior clothes.

He returned to the court and sat in front of the case. He was not here all day today, but everyone still left two meals for him. Now he is bringing a case. Hou Ying looked at the table and knew that it was two meals, so he greeted

He said: "We are all interested in seeing each other. Let's sit down and eat together." He also said: "Who can drink water? After running around for a day, I feel very hungry and thirsty." One man got up in a hurry, took out an urn from the east kitchen and put it in front of the case.

, poured out a cup and put it on the table. Hou Ying drank it all in one gulp, laughed and praised: "It's so refreshing! Have another bowl." The man poured out another cup, Hou Ying took a sip, and counted the grains of grains on his seat.

After eating a few mouthfuls, he asked everyone to join in, and he picked up a cup to drink water. When everyone knew that the meal was finished, they gathered around, and Hou Ying asked: "What's the order today?"

One person replied: "It's just to clear the streets and clear the streets to prepare for spies. There is no other order."

Hou Ying said: "Have you been ordered to go to the city?"

Everyone replied: "No order."

Hou Ying asked again: "Are there any visitors?"

Everyone said: "No guest."

Hou Ying said: "What are you doing today?"

Everyone said: "The Yi gate has been closed. I don't know when it will be opened. But I'm patrolling the streets and everyone has closed their doors. There's nothing else to do."

Hou Ying asked: "Which family should be dispatched today?" One person answered, "A certain family in a certain square has arrived in the city." There were many people, so they couldn't hear clearly, couldn't remember, and didn't care. Hou Ying seemed to have heard clearly.

, and don’t ask again.

After asking questions on official matters, Hou Ying said to Chen Sida: "Mr. Mipu Li, the man who took you to the unsealing ceremony, was invited to the General's Mansion at night and has not returned yet. It seems that he has been retained by the Mang Mansion."

Chen Si was surprised and said: "Mr. Li has nothing else to do, but he is just messing around."

Hou Ying said: "There must be something unknown about this. Where will the old gentleman go after we say goodbye?"

Chen Sidao: "After my husband and I left the flower shop, we didn't meet him again, so I don't know where he went."

Hou Ying said: "Sir, you didn't tell me where it came from?"

Chen Sidao: "I don't hear it."

Hou Ying said: "The old gentleman will definitely take Mr. Li's boat back again. He should not be there."

Chen Sidao: "As it should be."

Hou Ying said: "The four gates of Mang's Mansion are closed, and no outsiders are seen. There is no news from the Young Master's Mansion and the Wei's Mansion. There is no clear order. How is the traffic inside and outside the city?"

At this time, there was a knock on the door. A person quickly got up and went to take a look. He came back and said, "The guard from Daliang is here to visit."

Hou Ying quickly stood up and waved people to remove the food table. Everyone quietly returned to the side room. He straightened his clothes and saw that everyone had returned to the room, so he followed the person who opened the door and headed for the door.

The door opened, and Hou Ying bowed when he came out. Without waiting for anyone to reply, he pulled him into the door and quickly closed the door. The two of them walked quickly into the hall and sat down on their knees. Hou Ying asked anxiously: "Who is entering the palace?"

The visitor said: "The only people entering the palace today are General and Dr. Xu Jia."

Hou Ying was startled and asked hurriedly: "Are you trying to reconcile with Qin?"

The visitor said: "I don't know the details, but I seem to have heard that I would like to ask for help from South Korea."

Hou Ying said: "I've been asking Han Ting for a long time. Although Han didn't refuse, he just pushed other people's affairs."

The visitor asked: "If Dr. Jia is required to send an envoy, can he decide?"

Hou Ying said: "It is necessary for Dr. Jia to send several foreign missions to foreign countries. Although he said that he did not disgrace his mission, asking for help is not more important than others. It is not just what he can do with his words... What else can be done?"

The visitor said: "Food and grass from all over the world are coming into the city one after another. This is what my father knows."

Hou Ying said: "What order does the Prime Minister have?"

The visitor said: "The Prime Minister has a close family with the palace. He does not pass through Daliang Gate unless he is in the morning. It is common to hear that he enters the palace every three or five days."

Hou Ying said: "There are still troops outside the city, led by Lord Xinling, not Daliang Wei. Young Master Liang Wei has led the army to Xinling Lord's camp to follow his father. Mang Zishen went out with Daliang Wei first, and now he has

Return to the country under the orders of Lord Xinling."

The visitor said: "This is not what I know."

Hou Ying said: "One of my soldiers is with Wei Mang Mansion, and I am back with Mr. Shen now, so I know about it. In addition, I have opened the order, and the lieutenant is also in Lord Xinling's camp."

The visitor asked in surprise: "What do you mean?"

Hou Ying said: "Mang Mansion planned to pull out two people, but unexpectedly they were robbed by Lord Xinling. The Qin people are now stationed in Qifeng and have opened a military market. Qifeng ordered the captain to pastor the land for a long time, so he must do something, and the general is second.

"

The visitor asked: "What should we do?"

Hou Ying said: "When Lord Xinling sends Young Master Shen into the country, he will definitely conspire with the general. The general's efforts to discord between the Wei brothers will make the king suspicious of Lord Xinling and not be able to cooperate with others outside the city. This is difficult to do. However, there is Xinling

While the king is away, Qin will not be able to abandon him and attack Daliang, and Daliang has nothing to worry about."

The visitor said: "If Lord Xinling is defeated, won't Daliang be in danger?"

Hou Yingdao said: "Mr.

The visitor said: "My father's words will make my heart at peace."

Hou Ying said: "The Lord Xinling must be undefeated, so he must be able to provide timely relief in Daliang. The general must use him to control him. If he offends Lord Xinling, it will not be a long-term solution."

The visitor said: "This is beyond our control. But knowing that there is no war in Daliang, I feel at ease. I am willing to resign."

Hou Ying said: "The beam is here, it is built on the beach. You will watch the changes closely and tell me sooner or later. You will be very lucky."

The visitor said: "How dare you disobey your orders? With your father's divine plan and clever calculations in the temple, why not? How can you be with the old soldiers in the back alleys!"

Hou Ying said: "The temple is so high that it is dangerous! I can't do anything about it. Please don't say anything more."

After the visitor resigned, Hou Yingqin sent him out of the door and watched him disappear into the darkness.

After closing the door, Hou Ying pondered for a moment by the door, then returned to the steps of the east chamber and asked, "Are the fourth brothers sleeping?" Chen Si quickly agreed, "No." When he was young, the door opened and Chen Si came out. Hou Ying came out.

Ying said: "You can go to the General's Mansion the next day and pay homage to Mr. Che." Chen Si led him and asked, "What do you want to say to me, father?"

Hou Ying said: "Mr. Che is the leader of Mang Mansion. If he can be effective, he will outnumber the military soldiers!"

Chen Sidao: "Young man, you have benefited a lot since you joined your father. How dare you resign?"

Hou Ying said: "Brother is worthy of my son, so I have to make plans for him. Although my brother is brave and powerful, he is also wise and resourceful. He can adapt to changes and adapt to changes. No one can match him. He is not limited to a mere soldier. He must also be the palace of the general.

Only with a large number of people can we develop our talents."

Chen Sidao: "As my father said, what should I do as a boy?"

Hou Ying said: "To serve a general, one must not be close to him, but must use his talent. Since my brother is following Mr. Wei Che, and he says he is capable, this talent must be known to him. Brother, I went to explore and get some information about him.

We will discuss it when we return." Chen Sijing retreated. Hou Ying then turned around and walked to the back hall, sighing in his heart: "When will Dr. Jia leave the city?"

In fact, Dr. Xu Jia was not putting on airs. He was hurriedly summoned into the palace during the day to discuss matters. In fact, he did not see the King of Wei. He was greeted by Mang Mao and Wei Qi, the generals and prime ministers of Wei. Together, these two people basically

The appointment was equal to that of King Wei. After the three met, Wei Qi explained the reason for urgently recruiting officials to the palace: Although Wei repeatedly asked for help from Han, Han refused and refused; now Lord Xinling unexpectedly got the advantage and occupied Huayang.

He captured his lieutenant and his prime minister Han Bushen; this could be used as an excuse to threaten South Korea to send troops. Therefore, Jia was ordered to go to Huayang to see Lord Xinling first to discuss the negotiation strategy, and then go to South Korea to ask for help.

Mang Mao introduced the current military situation: Qin's tens of thousands of troops were unsealed, cutting off the trade routes in all directions of Daliang, and strangling Daliang's throat. At present, Daliang's military strength is more than enough, but not enough to attack, and it will be possible to get foreign aid. Lord Xinling recovered the remaining troops,

They temporarily occupied Huayang as a foreign aid; however, after being defeated, the food and grass could not be continued, making it difficult to use it. Fortunately, Lieutenant Daliang and his sons led thousands of soldiers to help them, and the two forces joined forces, and the situation was somewhat stable; however, the move was delayed, and

Unexpected events are bound to occur. Therefore, although Lord Xinling's army is called foreign aid, it is actually a tiger and a wolf. It is for my use for a while and will surely bite back. Now that the beams have been reorganized many times, they are safe for the time being. Lord Xinling, a member of the royal family, must not be put in danger.

The land, now it is time to help. The officials should go to Huayang, discuss the strategy of Lord Xinling, and go to Hanting to ask for it.

Xu Jia listened obediently and naturally understood the subtle differences in the two people's conversations: Wei Qi really regarded Lord Xinling as a help, while Mang Mao regarded him as a hidden danger. "Mang should not praise Lord Xinling."

And you despise yourself," Xu Jia knew in his heart that the army led by Lord Xinling was led by Mangmao and was defeated by the Qin people. The general of Mangmao's defeated army not only was not held accountable, but was worshiped as a general.

Taking charge of the military and political affairs of the country. This actually made many scholar-bureaucrats dissatisfied. After the great defeat, Lord Xinling took over the task of reorganizing the army. Although there was no victory, there was no collapse. People in the court who were dissatisfied with Mangmao felt dark in their hearts.

Xu Xinling is capable. However, Xu Jia, who has been in officialdom for a long time, naturally will not show these emotions at all. Instead, he put on an expression of sincere admiration and humbly accepted the task, but he asked casually: "What's the etiquette?"

How?"

Wei Qidao said: "I have already given a border city as a gift, covering an area of ​​100 miles." As he spoke, he opened the geographical map and showed Xu Jia the city that was agreed to be donated. Xu Jia saw it and saw that it was a border city in Wei's territory adjacent to South Korea.

, secretly thinking, "It's a good idea": The Wei family originally belonged to the Wei State, but in fact it was at both ends of the spectrum between Han and Wei. Now that one of its towns is donated to Han, it will not harm Wei, nor will it help Han. This is the sincerity of asking for help.

One can imagine.

Xu Jia pondered for a moment and said tactfully: "Giving a border town and a city as a gift is certainly not a small gift; but since it is impossible to send an envoy before, why not add more?"

Wei Qidao said: "The former envoy went to Korea and gave a city as a gift. The King of Han never said anything about the lack of courtesy, but he blamed it on other things. I don't know what the King of Han meant. It doesn't seem to be about wealth or land. So it is not appropriate to add it. We must find out about the King of Han.

Whatever you want, you can easily deal with it."

Mang Mao said: "Now we have found out that the Qin people were in Qin, and the king of Han sent Jia Liang to Qin and got huge profits. What's the purpose? Qin stayed for one day, Han got one day's benefit, and Wei received one day
