Chapter 254 Unsealing Order, Lieutenant
When it came to the trade between Daliang and Qifeng, Zhang Yue also found it difficult to understand. He suddenly remembered that the unsealing order, Wei was still in the army, so he said: "Why don't you ask about the unsealing order, Wei?"
Lord Xinling's eyes also lit up and he said: "Of course! You can go and invite him."
Zhang He said: "No need to ask. Just ask someone to invite him." Then he stood up and asked a guest to invite the unfinished order, Wei, who lived in the camp.
When I was young, I arrived in front of the mansion. Lord Xinling went out with a group of guests to greet him. They bowed to each other and entered the mansion. They went up the stairs to the hall and took their seats respectively.
Lord Xinling said: "Wars break out frequently. I have failed to teach you a lesson. It is a sin!"
After unsealing the order, Wei Qi bowed and said, "How dare you, my ministers!"
Lord Xinling said: "Since Qing and others entered the camp, Mr. Che You and Mr. Mang returned to the country, and the Jin Bi officials went straight to Huayang and defended the city. The troops were directed towards Qifeng."
After unsealing the order, Wei replied: "Young master uses troops like a god to help him, and I respect him with all my respect!"
Lord Xinling said: "What virtue there is, it is all the efforts of the officials and officials. The army occupied Huayang, and the Qin people invaded with ten thousand people, so the officials formed a camp to defend it. Qin attacked with many people, but could not succeed, so they did not dare to go out.
Therefore, I have to meet all the ministers."
After unsealing the order, Wei said: "All the gentlemen are wise and the officers are brave!"
Lord Xinling said: "At this moment, our army is planning to attack Qifeng. You have been in Qifeng for a long time, so you must have something to teach me!"
After unsealing the order, Wei said: "I have lost ground and fallen into the army, and we are just waiting for punishment!"
Lord Xinling said: "If you rely on your strength to unblock the seal again, there will be no redemption!"
After unsealing the order, Wei said: "I no longer know how to fight. Although I would like to offer some celestials, I still can't get them."
Lord Xinling said: "An order is an order. Your order only talks about the number of people and the amount of taxes."
Seeing that the names were directly called upon in the unsealing order, I couldn't avoid it, so I had to reply: "There are more than a thousand households in the unsealing households, all of which are merchants, and only two to three hundred households are farmers. This is a rough idea, and the detailed number will be known after the census. Although the households are
There are few people, but they call friends, relatives and relatives, and each household has ten or even dozens of people. The comings and goings are irregular. It is difficult to know the number of people. It is tens of thousands. The strong and strong people can make up half of them. The women and children do not live in deep places.
There is no comparison. His wife often leans against the door and smiles, and his children often sit on the threshold to welcome guests. There are no idle people. In terms of taxation, the gatekeepers are all in charge of the Wei. I pay 700,000 yuan a year and all of them are sent to the Shaofu. I dare not suffer any loss.
.”
The unfinished order was very eloquent, but there was no useful word, which made Lord Xinling very disappointed. He had no choice but to turn to the unfinished officer and asked: "How many soldiers do you have and how should they be defended?"
Qifeng Wei said: "Qifeng soldiers have thousands of soldiers, all of whom are recruited from the local area. They are not full of soldiers. The battalion commanders and soldiers are all old and weak military soldiers. They are divided into two battalions, water and land, each guarding according to the customs. They also collect taxes, arrest theft, and conduct inspections.
He is responsible for treachery, guarding against thieves, and keeping the people in peace. He leads one household servant to protect the land and protect the people. He is still capable of being driven; when encountering a strong enemy suddenly, he will disperse with more force, making it difficult to defeat him."
Lord Xinling said: "I heard that there is a fortified city in Qifeng that can be defended."
Qifengwei said: "In Qifeng, there is a small town on the border of Zheng. There is a small city in the Wei Dynasty. The main beam is connected to the Ji River, and the road passes outside Qifeng City. The water bank has become a commercial city. The strong ones build the city and the lining; the weak ones,
It uses thorns as a fence. There is no city wall to protect the surroundings. The so-called gates only start from the main roads to levy fees. According to the law, the soldiers will go out if they have a mission, and they will stay in the city if they have a mission. However, the soldiers all start on the left side of the home. If something happens,
Then when you have finished your work, you will go home if you have nothing to do. The camp in the city is vacant, but it is just the command and Wei Mansion."
Lord Xinling said: "The Qin people attacked Qifeng and burned its gates. What can they do?"
Qifeng Wei felt ashamed and said: "I was not in the city at the time, so I don't know. It is also unknown if a small number of officials hurriedly closed the city and defended it."
Lord Xinling was annoyed in his heart. What use could he do to such an ignorant official? But he did not show it on his face. He still had a serious expression and said: "If you, gentlemen, are not clear about anything, please teach me a lesson!"
"
Zhang He said: "How many mouths are there in your second mansion and your permanent residence in the city?"
The unsealing order said: "There are usually two to three hundred people in my residence, all of whom are always with my children. There are no outsiders."
Qifeng Wei said: "There are one or two hundred people in the minister's residence, all of whom are always with the children, and there are no outsiders. We also recruit a soldier from the government, with the children as uncles. What's more, they are all loyal and mature people, and there are no outsiders. There are still some in the camp.
The camp officials are all old and weak warriors, some are far away from home, or have no wives or families. They are all in poverty, but they only have food and a night's sleep."
Zhang Ye asked: "How many family members are there?"
The unsealing order said: "All my family members are in the countryside, and I have not dared to take office. The female family members are just a few concubines, and they have to prepare pillow quilts. Most of them are from good households."
Qifeng Wei said: "I am also like this."
Zhang He said: "The city has fallen, where are the children of the respected family?"
After unsealing the order, Wei Ji said: "I can't protect myself, so I can't hope for others. I want to fall into Qin's hands. There are unspeakable things."
Zhang He said: "When the Qin people come from the east, do you want to get their trust first?"
After unsealing the order, Wei said: "I haven't received his trust yet. Qin is like descending from heaven."
Wei Qifeng added: "I and other guards start from thirty miles below Honggou and end at the border of Qifeng. The west end of Wei is the territory of Wei, which is not where the guards are located. I have not heard the alarm from the guards, so I don't know."
Zhang Noi said: "Nanguan fell two days before the unsealing of the seal. Didn't your government hear about it?"
After unsealing the order, Wei Ji said: "I haven't received any customs report!"
Several other gentlemen also asked some questions, but they couldn't get the point.
Lord Xinling interrupted their questioning and asked directly: "The road to Qifeng has reached four directions, can I hear it?"
This question may have touched on a field they knew well. The two of them compared drawings and complemented each other, explaining the details of the roads inside and outside Qifeng in great detail. Lord Xinling's face became slightly brighter.
A retainer has already come to report that Mr. Guo and Mr. Jin have returned. When he unsealed the order, Wei wanted to leave, but Lord Xinling refused. He asked the retainers to ask the gentlemen to rest first and come to the house for dinner. Then in response to the unsealing order, Wei said: "
There is little food in the camp, so I would like to share it with you. I still have some questions and ask for advice, so I would like to stay for a while." The two of them didn't know why, so they had to stay.
Dinner was still very simple, just a bowl of millet porridge and a plate of dried fruits. Due to Mr. Zhongyue's special care, some salt plums were added to the porridge brought to the hall. The diners carried it to the hall one by one on small cases. Soon,
, Mr. Zhongyue arranged for Mr. Guo and Mr. Jin to dine in the hall, and the following diners only stayed in the courtyard. Mr. Zhongyue himself did not go to the hall, but sat in the courtyard to dine with ordinary diners.
After receiving the unsealing order, the two captains met with each other. Messrs. Guo and Jin sat down behind Mr. Xinling. Mr. Xinling introduced him: "Sir, Mr. Er was ordered by the doctor to explore the enemy camp at night and has not returned until now."
After unsealing the order, the generals bowed and said: "Thank you sir!"
Lord Xinling said: "Both the two princes have sealed their old officials. Sir, if you find out the feelings, you can report them briefly."
The two guests are all ready. Mr. Jin said first: "I went along the waterway to explore the grain crops of Han and Zheng. There was no obstruction. I went straight to Qifeng and the merchants carried them into the warehouse. The income from selling grain was the slips given by the merchants in Qifeng. On the slip
The writing is not seen."
After the unsealing order, the captain was surprised and said: "Han Zheng's grain is brought into unsealing?... Doesn't it mean that he is in favor of Qin?"
Mr. Jin said: "Of course."
After unsealing the order, Wei said: "Is Han not an ally of Wei? How can he support Qin and turn his back on Wei?"
Mr. Guo said: "It's not just about Korea, it's also about Qin and Wei after opening up the feudal system and establishing business!"
Lord Xinling said: "What do you mean?"
Mr. Guo said angrily: "When Han grain came to Qifeng, it was not given to the people of Qin, but was paid to Qifeng shops. Doesn't it mean that shops are connected to Qin?"
Lord Xinling said: "What's the benefit of going around like this?"
Mr. Guo said: "Han can entrust the name of transporting grain to open the seal, and it is not a capital of Qin. The people of Qin can get the grain without using manpower to carry it, and they don't have to work in the warehouse; merchants can get the profit from it."
Lord Xinling said: "Three benefits can be achieved with one fell swoop. The people of Qin are good at planning."
After unsealing the order, Wei said: "If Qin retreats, its merchants will be captured and killed to serve as a warning to others."
Lord Xinling took a look and said: "Wei lost its land, how can we blame its people? What's more, it's not appropriate for merchants to pursue profit? How can we blame it!"
After unsealing the order, the lieutenant was disappointed, lowered his head and praised: "Young Master's benevolence and righteousness are beyond the reach of others."
Lord Xinling asked Mr. Guo again: "Is the Qifeng water channel open?"
Mr. Guo said: "Although the Qin people occupied Qifeng, they were not restricted from trading routes and waterways, and could enter and exit at will. Their boats traveled north and south as usual."
Lord Xinling said: "If we can sail down the river with one boat, can we attack it?"
Mr. Guo said: "Although trade routes and water routes are not blocked, the people of Qin are very guarded. If there is no clever plan, it may be difficult to succeed."
Lord Xinling said: "The unsealing of merchants and merchants in Qin can be interpreted as Wei losing its territory and merchants seeking profits. What is especially hateful is that Liang is also unsealing..." He was so excited that he could not continue to speak.
He said: "Young master, don't worry. Daliang is guarded by General Mang, and it will be as solid as gold. The Qin army is nothing to fear."
Lord Xinling said: "But those who are confused are that since Qifeng is connected with business, why not use swords and soldiers to fight against each other? Wouldn't it be better to go too far?"
The unsealing order advised: "Soldiers are deadly weapons; contenders are traitors to morality; generals are dead officers. Therefore, they should be used as a last resort. Soldiers should not be launched lightly, chaos should not be unleashed lightly, and war should be fought with caution."
Qi Fengwei also said: "The Qin people have no intention of attacking Liang. If they stick to their troops and think they are defensive, it will be useless to attack. It is better to treat them with justice and make them retreat."
Lord Xinling said: "Can Qin retreat?"
The unsealing order said: "The people of Qin live in Wei. If they can't plunder them, they will definitely return to their hometown. How can there be any doubt?"
Lord Xinling said: "What if you live in Wei for a long time?"
Qifengwei said: "Wei people live in Wei, Qin people live in Qin, and the sky is the same. Qin people live in Wei, and they must be dissatisfied with the water and soil. They are homesick and want to return home. How can they suppress it? This is different from the Wei land and the Wei people.
If we fight against each other, wouldn't we be seeking death?"
Lord Xinling sighed and sang: "The millet is separated, the seedlings of the grain are growing. I am walking with great strides, my heart is shaking..."
After unsealing the order, the lieutenant hurriedly avoided the banquet and bowed to him: "Young Master, you must not...make such a sound of ruining your country!"
Lord Xinling said: "When the Qin people enter the outskirts of our country, we cannot drive them away, but instead harmonize them. It is better not to cause worries!"
The unsealing order said: "If you win in battle, how can you win by subduing the enemy's army without fighting? I hope you will observe it!"
Lord Xinling glanced at the two of them and said: "There are mistakes. This is what the two ministers have advised. The general is in charge of the defense of Daliang City, so he must have a big plan. If you are limited by just one meeting, there will be mistakes. Your Majesty, please take a seat." The two of them.
Take your seat.
Lord Xinling saw that all the gentlemen's food tables had been prepared, and all the gentlemen in the hall had their own food, so he said: "National rites are not included in the army, and military rites are not included in the country. Everything in the camp is not prepared, so let's eat porridge as a token of respect!"
Invite me to have a meal!" Everyone came in with porridge in their hands, and the sound of sighing could be heard everywhere.
Chapter completed!
