When Xu Jia talked with the Wei envoy who had asked for help before, he discovered that the Koreans were helping Qin deeper than he already knew. Not only did they start from Huayang, but they even needed water transportation directly from Zhengcheng. If Zhengcheng could be used as a supply

base, then the Qin people can hold on for a long time after opening the seal; but Han actually used Zheng's material resources to support Qin and asked Han to send troops to attack Qin. Isn't it like seeking skin from a tiger? After thinking about it, Xu Jia decided to report the matter to Lord Xinling, and let him

to decide next steps.

Lord Xinling's retainer arrived at the foot of Huayang City at the beginning of the day. The soldiers on patrol took him to Sikong. Sikong recognized him as Lord Xinling's retainer, informed Young Master Liang Wei, and personally took him to Huayang City.

When Lord Ling and others heard about it, they rushed out to greet him and bowed to the front of the palace hall. Since it was getting late and candlelight was inconvenient, everyone sat in a circle in the courtyard under the weak waning moon.

The retainer reported what he saw, especially because the King of Han was ill and the envoys from Wei could not get through; in particular, the reason why Dr. Xu Jia asked him to come back was to report two things: First, the envoys from Han came frequently

Qifeng; secondly, South Korea may transport grain to Qifeng through waterways.

After hearing these two pieces of news, people here were also a little confused: What is South Korea's intention to act like this? Has South Korea really completely surrendered to the Qin people? What benefits does this have for it?

Mr. Zhongyue was relatively calm and asked: "Who did you get this letter from?"

The guest said: "The doctor said that this was reported secretly by others. Even if it is not true, it is just like a common man."

Zhong Yue said: "When the doctor first came to Zheng, he must report this bad news first, that's right. The important thing now is to find out the truth." Then he turned to Mr. Guo and Mr. Jin and said: "Mr. Jin is well versed in geography.

He can know where the river crosses. Mr. Guo immediately sent people to inquire around, firstly to ask Minghan's boat to enter Kaifeng, and secondly to ask Minghan's envoy to enter Kaifeng." The two agreed and left.

Mr. Zhongyue said to the returning diners again: "Mr. Fang, please rest for now. Tomorrow we will have to work for Mr. Zheng." Mr. Fang also resigned.

Looking at the few remaining guests in the courtyard, Lord Xinling said: "When I first heard the news, I was shocked. I hope you can teach me, sir."

Mr. Zhongyue said: "Things change and things change, which is the nature of heaven. Unpredictable winds and clouds will happen from time to time. Don't worry, sir."

Lord Xinling said: "What I am concerned about is that it is difficult for the Qin people to defeat them, and the army's morale is uneasy. Changes will occur in the long run. What can be done?"

Zhang He said: "The most difficult thing is that Dr. Jia cannot enter through his door. Everything in the Han court is unclear. It is difficult to come up with strategies. If you can visit a general, a prime minister, or a great official, you can gain his trust."

, maybe it can be done.”

Lord Xinling's eyes lit up and he said: "If you want to visit a great man, Han Wangsun or Han Bushen may have a way..."

Mr. Zhongyue also smiled and said: "We have almost forgotten what your Majesty said. Your Majesty will meet with the king and his grandson. If I go to the meeting without saying anything, I will get my way." After several discussions on the details of the conversation, Mr. Zhongyue resigned.

Lord Xinling came to the backyard and called out in front of the door: "Master Wuji of Wei, I would like to pay my respects to Captain Huayang!" A voice came from inside, "Rongbao!" Soon, the courtyard door opened, and Captain Huayang hurried out to meet Xinling.

Lord Ling greets you.

Lord Xinling said: "It has been a long time since I've been hired, so I ask if Wang Sun is okay!"

Huayang Wei said: "If you dare to work, your body will remain as usual."

Lord Xinling said: "I have a leisurely time today, but I would like to spend some time with the king and my grandson. Will you get your wish?"

Wei Huayang said: "I can't get what I asked for. Whenever I see the young master working hard at war, I dare not disturb him."

Lord Xinling bowed to the front yard, and Captain Huayang said: "We should prepare some wine and fruit, in order to help." He asked the people behind him to go in and get some wine and fruit, and he followed Lord Xinling to the front yard. Then, several children

They arrived carrying wine and fruits, set them down in front of the courtyard, and then everyone retreated.

After each drank a few cups of wine and ate two dried fruits, Lord Xinling said: "This morning Dr. Jia is required to come to Zheng to check on the king's mission. I heard that the king of Han was ill, and all the ministers came to investigate. And the king and his grandson..."

Captain Huayang's expression changed and he said: "When did my king get sick and how severe is it?"

Lord Xinling said: "King Han is ill and his mission is blocked. Doctor Jia has to flood the post house and prevent him from advancing or retreating."

Captain Huayang thought for a while and said: "There must be no other. I feel the wind and cold in my ears! So I won't tell the foreign ministers."

Lord Xinling said: "That's what the king and grandson said. If the king is as close as the king and his grandson, he will send an envoy to tell him. If there is no envoy now, it is a minor illness of the king. However, the envoys of Wei cannot get through, and the Qin people cannot retreat. What can I do?

?”

Huayang Wei said: "The Prime Minister of Han wants to trade with Qin, so why retreat? You all know that a certain person was sent by the Prime Minister of Han and came to Huayang to help Qin, so why retreat from Qin?"

Lord Xinling said: "The people of Qin are like a needle gleaming on the body, and nothing can be removed. The people of Qin have always been unrighteous. If there is a change, they will arrive in Zheng in one day. Will Wang Ning have nothing to worry about?"

Huayang Wei said: "How can meat-eaters plan this?"

Lord Xinling said: "The general is violent and the country is in a fortress. Would you rather not have a word or two to remonstrate with me?"

Huayang Wei said: "It may happen, but don't listen."

Lord Xinling said: "Who should I consult if I want to see his court meeting?"

Huayang Wei said: "I am telling you that if you seek advice from the ministers or officials, you will not be able to do it. If you consult the middle officials secretly, you may be able to get the details."

Lord Xinling said: "The strategy of the king and grandson is very good. There may be someone close to you who should recommend one or two!"

Wei Huayang said: "Why recommend him? If he only gets three to five hundred dollars, he knows everything."

Lord Xinling said: "What do you mean?"

Huayang Wei said: "Young master, I don't know that the middle man is close to the king, but his body is the lowest. His will is difficult to calm down, so it is easy to deal with him. We call a middle man in the market - he has a physical disability, which is easy to recognize -

The price for a drink is only a few dozen dollars. If you ask any questions while drinking, they will all be answered. If you invite someone else out, the price will be several hundred dollars, depending on the person."

Lord Xinling was a little skeptical and asked, "Are his words credible?"

Huayang Wei said: "If you don't believe it, the sun will destroy it! What can you do if you get the power of food?"

Lord Xinling said: "With the money, you will definitely be able to invite people out of the palace?"

Wei Huayang smiled lewdly and said, "But it is not difficult for Wang Ji to get the money. The young master invited me to be a waiter in the court. He has ears but no heart and no position. He can only think of three to five hundred yuan."

Lord Xinling was as shocked as when he learned that Han used waterways to transport grain. He suppressed the shock in his heart and asked, "I would like to hear the details."

Wei Huayang said: "I will send one person to the market to invite a man to a restaurant to have a drink - does he know who he is?"

Lord Xinling nodded. Captain Huayang continued: "If you have a chat in the wine room, you can consult him at will. When the wine is full and your ears are warm, you can talk about everything you know. If you consult with many things, drink more wine; if there are few matters, drink less wine; if you consult with someone you don't know, you can invite

He can just agree on a date and buy a drink to meet him. What's the problem?"

Lord Xinling said: "How can I know that I am a little prince?" He persuaded the king diligently to drink. The prince and grandson ate and drank happily, and said: "How can you have fun with your female family members every day? Only when you know that you are like a young master can you have all the fun!" Lord Xinling got down from the table.

, whispered a few words to a guest. The guest went out immediately and came back a little later. He took a bunch of money from his sleeve and secretly handed it to Lord Xinling. Lord Xinling took it and took the opportunity of toasting to give the money to Wei Huayang.

Wei Huayang took it casually and put it directly into his arms without any concealment. He smiled and said, "Young Master, why do you have to... hahaha!"

After drinking a few more cups, Captain Huayang said: "Young Master, don't worry... I have the help of the Young Master, and I can expect to be as high as the Duke, so how can I spend just a hundred dollars..."

Lord Xinling said: "How can I be so virtuous, but for this!"

Huayang Wei said: "Young Master's virtues are spread all over the world, who doesn't know about it! I have three thousand disciples, and they are all heroes in the world. No matter what I do, I am not dissatisfied, even if I am a king, I am not as good as me. As long as I get the help of two or three young masters, I can accomplish it." , Accumulate merit and get promoted, even if you are a minister, you can expect it."

Lord Xinling said: "As long as I have a destiny, I dare not resign. If I am only talented and have little virtue, I may not be able to get what I want."

Wei Huayang said: "Young master, don't worry! If I get help from you, I will definitely have someone to help you, and I will not let you pass by in vain..."

Lord Xinling said: "In that case, Wuji thanks you!" He bowed down in his seat.

After Lieutenant Huayang bowed down in his seat, he took advantage of the wine and said, "We are in troubled times. How can we benefit if we don't have a party? What a blessing it is to be a party with the young master! You don't know, but as soon as I heard that the young master came to the city, thousands of people I can't give you a city as a gift even if I hate my job."

Lord Xinling could only say vaguely: "I will never forget this kindness!"

Huayang Wei said: "Young Master knows it. Since you entered the city, you will not dare to resign whenever you have an appointment. Don't worry, Young Master. Although Young Master is empty of Huayang... but if you get Young Master... there will be no one else!"

Lord Xinling said: "What do you mean?"

Huayang Wei said: "Young master, I don't know... The king of Han loves your master very much. Every time he points to you, all the disciples are like worms... If you know that the master is guarding Huayang, or if you give him Huayang as a gift, you don't know. Huayang is a borderline contempt." Young Master is like a dragon or a phoenix among men. He who gives up one side to get a dragon or a phoenix is ​​the wish of the King of Han... He thinks about it but cannot get it. If he is on a blind date with the Young Master, the King of Han will look at him differently. If he is close to the King on the inside, he will be like the Young Master on the outside. Isn’t it the honorable minister to ask for help?”

After the wine was finished and the food was served, Lord Xinling sent Captain Huayang back to his back house. The guests carried the wine jars and Gui cups to the door, and the boys took them in.

Mr. Zhongyue had come back a long time ago. When he saw Lord Xinling drinking with Captain Huayang, he quietly hid in the concierge until Captain Huayang entered and then came out.

Zhang Ye saw it at first sight and said, "A spy is here!" When everyone saw it, it was Mr. Zhong Yue, and they all laughed.

Mr. Zhongyue said: "Sir, how do you know?"

Zhang He said: "Hidden in the school, you will know when you return."

Mr. Zhongyue said, "We must not hide our eyes and ears from Mr. Xinling." While they were talking and laughing, Mr. Xinling and others had returned. Everyone sat down again. Mr. Xinling said, "What do you want, sir?"

Mr. Zhongyue said: "The King of Han's illness is unknown even if it is not reported. There are very capable people in his court who can be admitted. However, it is difficult to send letters, so I thought I could invite him to Zheng to help the officials."

Lord Xinling looked at everyone and saw that no one had objections, so he said: "What you said, sir, must be correct. Please consider this matter, sir."

Mr. Zhongyue said: "Here! What can Captain Huayang do if I haven't heard about it?"

Lord Xinling looked at Zhang Ye, who said: "Huayang Lieutenant intends to serve, so he said a lot." He recounted the conversation just now. Lord Xinling said with emotion: "I didn't expect the political affairs to be corrupted like this. The king's If you get close, you will have to be burdened by money and end up carrying it!"
