Zhang Jue's trip to Zhengcheng went very smoothly. The man he met turned out to be an eyewitness to several major events. Zhang Jue thought that what he said was specific and detailed, and it was not like he said it after careful consideration and under the influence of alcohol.

The credibility is relatively high. Leaving a chance to meet again, he hurriedly came back to discuss the next step with everyone.

As expected, the Qin army did not come out today. Both Mr. Jin and Mr. Guo sent people back to say that they had made important discoveries, but they did not come back until further investigation was needed. I heard that Zhang Yue was back. Although Mr. Zhong Yue was still busy with business,

He also put everything down and hurried back to Huayang Wei Mansion to meet Zhang Noi.

.The few guests who were still in the courtyard naturally gathered around Lord Xinling and Zhang Ye, listening to him tell what they had seen and heard. Seeing Zhongyue coming back, Lord Xinling and everyone knelt down to greet Mr. Zhongyue.

After seeing the ceremony in a hurry, he sat down under Zhang Ye without any courtesy and asked eagerly: "What did you get?"

Zhang Ye said: "The harvest is very rich."

Lord Xinling said: "Mr. Lao, please tell me again!" Zhang Ye then started from the beginning and said: "I entered the city when I was eating, and when I got to the corner, I saw people coming in and out. Then I went into the wine shop to prepare wine and fruits, and asked the owner to invite one of the people.

The owner of the restaurant seemed to have experienced this for a long time, so he invited a man to sit down in the market. When I asked him, he quite understood what I suspected."

Mr. Zhongyue said: "When something goes wrong, there must be another reason for it. Don't be careless."

Zhang He said: "That's what you suspected, sir. So when the stranger sat down, he first asked him to drink three cups of wine to cheer him up. The gentleman was obedient and drank only three cups and asked directly, "What is the question? If you don't know what you are asking,

He dare not regain the claim. This can prove what Wang Sun said, if what the middleman said is untrue, he will be in trouble. The middleman is cautious and does not dare to make light of the incident. - It can also be inferred that what he said must be true."

Mr. Zhongyue pondered for a moment and said, "Please try to clear up your doubts. Sir, I'll say more."

Zhang He said: "I'm asking about the matter of unsealing and transporting grain. The middleman said: If you want to get a share of the family, you must do it quickly. If you slow down, there will be changes."

Mr. Zhongyue thought for a moment and said: "It doesn't sound like a hypocrite. You are here because you are the head of the family, and you want to transport food to Kaifeng, but you can't do it, so I ask you. Where can I meet you, sir?"

Zhang He said: "I met you in the attire of a retainer, and asked about the master's family. He brought out the king's jade pendant. When the man saw it, he understood the importance and wanted to see the ceremony, but I stopped him."

Mr. Zhongyue thought for a while and replied: "It doesn't seem to be a fake. Anyone who wears a jade pendant like the one worn by the emperor must be a noble person."

Zhang Wei said: "I asked again, would you like to hear the details? He was very pleased, so he said, "I must know this, and I can only know it." Then he asked again, "Do you know the speaker Chen Zhen?"

Mr. Zhongyue was surprised and said: "Why is Chen Zhen? There must be an origin. Who is this?"

Zhang Wei said: "The middle-aged man said to himself, this is not what you know. Chen Zhen is all over the world. He prospers the country with one word, destroys the country with one word, and has everyone in the world."

Zhong Yue said: "These words are sincere and not false."

Zhang He said: "The man in the middle said that it was the time of Shangsi, and the king and all the palaces went together to perform the purification. The man in the middle was holding weapons on the left and right. After hearing the report, an envoy came up and ordered the prince to go see him. The prince returned and said

The people of Qin sent Chen Zhen to persuade Han to return to Qin. He said, "What's the benefit of allying with the three Jins? If we make an alliance with Qin, and Qin goes out of Guandong, and Han is the host, we can pay double the price to Jia."

Mr. Zhongyue said: "This statement seems to be true. It is Chen Zhen's speech! Moreover, what he said is that Chen Zhen saw the king last week, which is consistent with what he said."

Zhang He said: "I said, I can't bear to betray the three Jin Dynasties, it is righteousness; what Chen Zhen said is benefit. What does the king say? In the way of human beings, the king said that food from thousands of miles away does not arrive at the same time; when the food is sent to Korea, it is only twice the price.

How clever is Qin's plan!"

Mr. Zhongyue said: "It's the King of Han's words. It doesn't seem to be a lie."

Zhang Ye said: "I'm asking if this matter has been decided? How can it be decided in just one word to deal with human affairs and important matters of the family and the country? However, Han has already transported grain there, so this must be a definite plan."

Mr. Zhongyue said: "This is a man. He only knows the appearance of the first meeting and does not know how to make a plan. What he said is true."

Zhang He said: "I asked again, what does it mean when slowing down will lead to changes? Is King Ning uncertain? The middleman said, with Wei? With Qin? It is difficult for the king to decide. Therefore, slowing down will lead to changes."

Mr. Zhongyue said: "As it is said, the major events have not been decided, the general trend has not been lost, and there is still something to be done! Sir, this trip is not in vain. I actually found out that King Han's heart was shaken, and he has not yet made a final plan!"

Zhang He said: "I asked again about the condition of King Han's illness. The middle man said: This is what I know. Looking at the sun in the tenth month, the king and Ji drank together under the moon. The prince came to report. The people of Qin came out of the pass and ordered Han

Prepare food in the road. When the king heard about it, the prince fell from his hand and fell suddenly.

The chest pain persists at night, and the phlegm and wheezing worsen. For ten days now, I am still sick and unable to see anything. The affairs of the court have been abandoned. If there is an urgent matter, the prince and the general will make a decision. Helping the Qin State with food is like what the prince does, like a king.

It means to destroy it. Therefore, it is said that 'slow down and there will be change'."

Mr. Zhongyue said: "If what the man said is true, the King of Han is suffering from an urgent fire attacking his heart, and his heart energy is rebellious, and that's why. This is a serious illness, and there is no way to save him. Even though King Han is ill, he is lucky."

Zhang He said: "I think this statement is consistent with the previous one: Although the King of Han is greedy for the benefits of Qin, he still admires the alliance and has difficulty making a choice. The person who plans to capitalize on Qin is the prince, the Prime Minister of Han, the general of Han, and not the King of Han.

.”

Lord Xinling struck the knot and sighed: "If it is true, then the matter can still be done. However, Prince Han, the talent among the people is soft and indecisive. Even if the plan is determined, it is not difficult to change it."

Mr. Zhongyue said: "Sir, you have regained this letter. This is a worthwhile trip."

Zhang He said: "I asked again, "Wang Fu Bing, has Chen Zhen come to see you?" The middleman said, "I don't know." I asked again where Chen Zhen lived. The middleman also said, "I don't know." However, he said, "I don't know."

If Chen Zhen comes back, he will be in the car. I left two hundred money and made an appointment to meet Chen Zhen the next day, hoping to get Chen Zhen's residence."

Mr. Zhongyue said: "It's wonderful. He knows what he knows, and he doesn't know if he doesn't know. Chen Zhen's survival depends on him. If he carries him personally in the middle of the carriage, he should be faithful. If he can find Chen Zhen's residence, sir

What's going on?"

Zhang Ye said: "I still haven't figured out the plan, so I came back and asked for advice."

The other disciples also praised Zhang Zuo for his worthwhile trip. He had discovered such hidden information, which was very helpful for decision-making. As for how to deal with Chen Wei, there were different opinions, ranging from assassination to persuasion. At the end of the discussion,

Everyone's opinions focused on persuasion, because the assassination would only stimulate the break between King Han and Wei.

Lord Xinling said: "I have always heard that the Zongheng family has learned about the world's trends and made grand discussions. Chen Zhen is the hero of Zongheng. If you get his comments, you shouldn't be happy!"

When Mr. Zhongyue heard this, he clapped his knees and exclaimed, "No one but your Majesty could do this!"

Zhang Zou still didn't understand, so he asked: "What's the plan?"

Mr. Zhongyue said: "Zongheng's family studies, traveling to and from various countries, do not have the righteousness of monarch and minister. They seek the same spirit and are in love with the same party for their own benefit. In the past, when Su Qin entered Qin, he offered Lian Heng, and when he entered Zhao, he offered He Zong. This is the same type.

Also, although today Chen Zhen said this about Han for Qin, what should he do if he said about Han for Wei?"

Zhang Ye also exclaimed: "What a great plan. It is not only about turning enemies into friends, but also about turning enemies into teachers. I am willing to implement it."

Lord Xinling said: "I think of the scholars who spread all over the world. They were in the Qin Dynasty and the Chu Dynasty in the late Qin Dynasty. They are not fickle in nature. They are rejected by the king but not accepted, and accepted but not used. If you can use them, you can't do your best to repay them! So-called

A scholar who dies for a confidant shows his sincerity to the people with lofty ideals in the world. When you meet Mr. Chen, please pay your respects to him. If you meet him by chance, you should treat him as a relative and ask for his advice!"

Zhang Zhe said: "Here you go!"

Lord Xinling said: "Although Mr. Guo and Jin have not returned, they must know that Han and Qin are connected, and it is true that Han used water channels to support Qin. Although Chen's way is said, success or failure is not determined. If it is true, what will be done?"

Zhang He said: "The top ones are to eliminate the friendship between Qin and Han, and consolidate the alliance between Wei and Han. If Han and Wei join forces to attack Qin, Qin will be defeated; the ones above are not to eliminate the friendship between Qin and Han, but to consolidate the alliance between Wei and Han, and Wei and Han will be defeated."

In the battle between Qin and Qin, the victory or defeat is incalculable; those below him will not cut off the friendship between Qin and Han, but will back up the alliance of Wei and Han, and Qin and Han will attack, then Wei will be defeated. Those below him will definitely not be able to do it, and those above him will

It is not advisable, but it is possible to take it.”

Lord Xinling said: "It is not a plan to prolong our Wei Dynasty for a long time. What should we do?"

Mr. Zhongyue said: "Gou Wei has Han's help, and Han has one country to support two armies. It is difficult to sustain its strength. It is time to defeat the enemy."

Lord Xinling said: "How long will it take?"

Mr. Zhongyue thought for a moment and said, "It will only take a month."

Lord Xinling said: "It is already late autumn. If we stay together for a month, would we rather not enter winter?"

Mr. Zhongyue said: "I observe the celestial phenomena at night. The battle has turned into armor, the cold dew has turned into cold dew, and the frost has turned into frost at night. Based on this, it is the beginning of winter in one month."

Lord Xinling said: "The art of war is difficult if we leave our troops in the field for a month; it is even more difficult in the winter! What can be done?"

Mr. Zhongyue said: "If there is enough food and fodder, it might be easy."

Zhang He said: "But we can discuss it with the Jin officials and ministers."

Lord Xinling said: "Since Captain Daliang is here, I can also consult him."

Zhang Zhuo said: "Liang Wei, you are a noble person, so you will not be able to endure it. It is not easy to carry it into the country in a carriage."

Lord Xinling said: "Liang Wei went out to battle in times of danger and forgot about himself. Although Liang Wei's son was the only son, he also went out to battle and was in a dangerous place. He is not a mediocre person. If you have any questions, you will definitely be able to reduce my faults and increase my merits.

.”

After hearing this, the disciples did not argue and changed the subject. Zhang Noi said: "If we are in a stalemate with Qin, what words can we use to plan the temple, stabilize the army's morale, and boost morale?"

A guest asked: "It is unbearable to stay in the wild at night even in late autumn, but what about winter?"

Another guest said: "The weather is cold and the ground is freezing. Qin and I are the same, how can we be impatient?"

A guest said: "Qin is Xirong; the northwest is a cold land. The people there are savage and they can only eat enough. The clothes and etiquette of China are not comparable. If you are cold and hungry, you may be trapped in a fight with an animal, and it is difficult to restrain yourself."

"

Lord Xinling said: "It is not something that anyone can do against Qin. We must work together to fight against the national calamity. There must be twists and turns in the longitude and latitude of the foundation, and hardships and dangers must be prevented before they happen. Zhongyue

Mr. Zhang kept his mind silent on his heart and consulted all the ministers alone. Mr. Zhang still went to Zheng to explore the reality of Han Ting."

Zhang He said: "I went to Zheng Di and got a bite of a pig. I have ordered the right camp to carry it back to the camp. I will be rewarded that night."

Lord Xinling said: "How to get it?"

Zhang Xian said: "In the city, Jia Zhi."

Everyone laughed and started discussing how to share the food.
