Once again, it was confirmed that the Qin people were indeed full of prisoners, and they must be consumed by conquests. Therefore, there was no rest for the conquests year after year. This made Zhang Noi feel happy and worried at the same time. The happy thing was that he had grasped the weakness of the Qin people's policies, and the worried one was that the Qin people

The attack may be difficult to eliminate, unless Qin changes its tactics and reforms again.

Chen Xiaolue left after chatting for a few words, telling Zeng Ji to show Zhang Jue the situation of transporting grain to the Qin people from Zheng. The two started drinking and talking again. The wine delivered by the wine shop this time was of high standard.

The portion was plenty, but not as tasty as the soda duck in the morning, so they ate slowly until the sun went down. The two of them were really full and there was still a lot of food left. They had no choice but to come out and take a leisurely walk to eat.

All the way back to the mooring of the bamboo raft, we chatted for a while, and it became completely dark. The two of them got on the raft, and Zeng Ji rowed the raft to the intersection of Qin and Wei, and found a hidden river branch to stop, with a mysterious look on his face.

He said to Zhang Zhe: "You will see the difference in a little while."

I don't know how long it took, but I saw a fleet of boats coming down from the upper reaches, with torches on the boats, illuminating the surrounding area. Zhang Noi counted to ten before the last boat passed. When the fleet passed, Zeng Ji took the bamboo

The raft was rowed out and moved forward far behind the fleet. Along the way, they walked very carefully close to the shore, using the cover of shadows and not daring to get very close. Sometimes they could not see the fleet on the way; but Zeng Ji was obviously familiar with it.

I lost track of the direction of this fleet's movement for a while, and after two quick strokes, I could see the fleet's fire again dimly in the night.

After walking for half the night, the fleet obviously entered the opposite current and slowed down. Zeng Ji stopped rowing to follow, tied up the bamboo raft, and went ashore with Zhang Noi, walking along the river. They walked about five miles away, which was about 10 kilometers away.

From a distance, he saw that the fleet had docked. The shore was brightly lit. Zeng Ji pulled Zhang Noi's hand and said, "I don't dare to move forward for fear of a hidden whistle." After lying on the shore and observing for a while, Zhang Noi felt that there was nothing wrong.

Now that he could see it, he said to Zeng Ji, "We'll go back soon."

Zeng Jidao: "Brother, do you know him?"

Zhang He replied cautiously: "Watching movies from across the bank is just a rough idea." Zeng Ji smiled slightly, turned around and left.

When the two returned to the thatched cottage by the lake, it was already twilight. Two groups of clothes were still piled under the window. Zhang Noi changed into his old clothes and paid special attention, but found no signs of being disturbed. Regardless of being tired from running around all night, he immediately

He set off for Huayang. On the way, he was discovered by Wei Jun's secret sentry and captured. After explaining his identity, he was sent to Mr. Liang Wei and returned to Huayang City safely.

When they entered the city, the army was responding to the call. When Lord Xinling heard that Zhang Yue was coming back, he hurried over to meet him without waiting for the end of the call. After seeing the ceremony, he asked eagerly: "Sir, it is disturbing to go into danger alone. Zeng

Where is Mr. Xieyin?"

Zhang Zhe said: "Go and see Mr. Chen!"

Just one sentence shocked Mr. Xinling. He took a step closer and said, "Mr. Chen, sir, see Mr. Chen? What did Mr. Chen say?"

Zhang He said: "I have gained a lot during this trip, which is mixed with truth and falsehood. I would like to report it to you in detail."

Lord Xinling said: "Yes, yes. Sir, you have been working hard, so let's take a break until something happens in the camp. I'll see you later."

Yesterday, the Qin people also went out into battle, but the two sides did not fight. After a half-day confrontation, the Qin people withdrew their troops. There was no fighting for two days in a row, and the atmosphere in the camp became relaxed. Jin Bi did not give any more orders, and only ordered each battalion to tighten their control.

Be vigilant and don't let down your guard.

Last night, the whole army ate the pork soup bought by Zhang Zhuo. Wei Gao divided the pork into six parts, one for each. When the soldiers were distributed, they took care of the number of battalions, and generally one battalion included bones and meat.

The mixed mince can be divided into about one kilogram, and is cooked in a big cauldron in front of the camp gate. All the soldiers drink soup and eat grains in turn. As for the civilian army, it is even more miserable. Several villages drink a cauldron of broth together. Although no one

They didn't even eat meat, but they could smell the meat, which made the soldiers feel invigorated and felt that the king's kindness was great. After all, it was an era when the middle class could not eat meat more than once in their life!

After o'clock, it was time for breakfast. The gentlemen who had no jobs entered the house together and cooked millet porridge in a corner of the courtyard. A few core guests sat around Mr. Xinling. Others who were interested sat on the outside. Those who were not interested sat on the outside.

Or just go and smell the aroma of porridge, or wander around a few places.

Mr. Xinling said urgently: "Mr. Zhang didn't come back all night yesterday, and what he gained was huge. I just want to tell you what happened."

Zhang He said: "I was ordered to go to Zheng Huizhong, but unexpectedly I met my old friend Zeng Ji on the way..."

A doorman asked: "Who is brother Zeng Ji?"

Zhang Zhuo said: "Zeng Ji is a chivalrous person. He travels all over the world and is as close as Korea."

The famous retainer said: "The Ranger will definitely do something when he settles down."

Zhang He said: "Sir, it is true. Brother Zeng entered Korea and became Duke Chen."

A retainer asked: "Who is Mr. Chen?"

Lord Xinling was annoyed and said, "But listen to what you have to say, sir!"

Zhang Noi answered the last question patiently and said: "Mr. Chen is a lobbyist. He is the one who said that Han was connected with Qin."

Qin and Han secretly communicated, and what is known so far is only at the core level. Zhang Noi suddenly said it, causing an uproar among the disciples in the outer circle. Several disciples in the inner circle turned back and stretched out their hands to silence their surprises, waiting for Zhang Noi to continue.

Zhang He said: "On the way, I met Brother Zeng sitting in the road and cut off the way. I asked the two gentlemen to return and report back, and I followed him to Zheng alone." He originally wanted to talk about his dispute with King Wen of Zeng Ji and Duke Zhou.

But thinking that the people who came were too mixed, and fearing that there would be a bad impact, he ignored it and continued: "Brother Zeng said that since the Qin Dynasty, Lord Shang changed the law, and the people of Qin were punished for minor offenses, and the remaining prisoners were three hundred thousand.

The King of Qin was worried about the lack of land. He fought every year, and he would gain military exploits and atone for the sins of others. When the minister heard this, he was shocked and asked, "Isn't it appropriate to lighten the punishment and save the punishment, but to practice benevolence and righteousness?" Brother Zeng said, "Qin will use commercial law."

It has been around for a long time, and although it has its disadvantages, it is inconvenient to abolish it.”

Someone in the outer circle said: "Since Qin came here for military exploits, what harm will he do if he abandons the small city? How can he continue to fight for so long?"

Someone immediately retorted: "Nian She is despicable, and Wei will be cut off. How can there be Wei!" The man stopped talking.

Zhang He said: "I discussed with Brother Zeng that at noon, I went to Youshenmen to see Mr. Chen. Mr. Chen hid in a wine shop and waited for the two of us to arrive. Then he came out. There were five cauldrons and four guis for a banquet."

There were murmurings all around again, as if they were envious of Zhang Jue's privilege of being given the five tripods and four guis, while he could only drink millet porridge in the wild.

Zhang He ignored everyone's sighs and said: "During the banquet, Chen Gong prepared a report about the grievances between Qin and Wei, and denounced Wei for advocating a vertical alliance and becoming Qin's enemy. He entered Qin three times, and even though he was defeated, he did not realize it. I blamed Qin for being rude.

If Qin takes more cities in Wei, Qin will lose more to Wei, but Wei will not lose to Qin. Chen Gong said, if Zhang Yi follows Zhang Yi's old example and joins forces with Qin, then the war will cease and the Qin army can retreat. I dare not act arbitrarily, but just hum in response.

.”

Lord Xinling asked: "How long will it take to meet Mr. Chen?"

Zhang Xian said: "Not long after Chen Gongyan announced his resignation, he used Han Nuo Lianheng as his excuse, and said that Brother Zeng led me to watch Zheng Liangzhou until he was unsealed."

Mr. Xinling, Mr. Guo, and Mr. Jin all said, "Sir, do you think so?"

Zhang He said: "At night, Brother Zeng led his ministers to lie down on the raft, and they saw ten boats of food going down the river. Brother Zeng followed him in the boat, and at midnight, he saw them going around the chasm and entering Qifeng. After entering the chasm,

The boat was sailing against the current, but the boat was moving slowly. Brother Zeng and his ministers abandoned the boat and landed ashore. They sneaked five miles away to take a look. They saw the boat moored in Qifeng, with bright lights on both sides. They wanted to unload the boat. They were afraid that Qin's secret sentry would notice it and not get close enough. What they saw was like this.

"

At this time, the disciples could no longer suppress their discussions: "Zheng Di", "Ten Boats", "down the river", "until the seal is unsealed", various key points were mentioned one by one. Lord Xinling did not say too much.

He was thinking about Han and Qin Tongtong's affairs, but asked: "May Sir please elaborate on Chen Gong's words."

The voices of the guests gradually became lowered, and everyone was listening to Zhang Ye's narration. Zhang Ye said: "Brother Zeng led the ministers to the wine shop and said, Mr. Chen is coming, brother, please wait for him! Unexpectedly, Mr. Chen in the compartment said: 'I

It’s time.’ After singing and singing, Duke Chen said, ‘I’ve heard the name of the young master for a long time, but I haven’t had a chance to meet him.’ The minister said, ‘Young Master also heard about the reputation of Duke Chen, and he was very attracted to it!’ Duke Chen said, ‘The minister and the young master

We have the same mind. Yesterday I heard that the young master was visiting my subordinates. I didn't dare to hide myself, so I invited him to meet him. We met in a wine shop to comfort our lifelong hope!'"

Lord Xinling said: "Why did Mr. Chen know that he wanted to know where he was?"

Zhang He said: "I went to Zheng to meet the man, and I thought that the matter was a secret, but it was all in the eyes of Duke Chen. Brother Zeng said that half of Zheng is his eyes and ears. Although it is not true, the difference is similar."

Lord Xinling said: "When I heard that Mr. Zeng was invited by Brother Zeng, Mr. Zhongyue invited his old colleague to sneak into Zheng to meet the people in the middle. The people in the middle told me that Mr. Chen's residence was unfixed and would change in a few days.

, I don’t do it all the time. Sometimes I stay in the palace, and the king offers a beautiful woman to recommend a pillow to wait for me. Suddenly, I am sighing, sir, I am actually meeting Chen Gonggong, how can I be happy!"

Zhang He said: "I said, 'Young master, I heard that the boy was disturbing Mr. Chen, and I felt very uneasy. But if you ever meet me, you will bow to me again and again to show your sincerity!' He avoided the table and bowed three times to show his respect. Mr. Chen returned to his seat and paid homage.

The minister said, Wei Wei offended Duke Chen and was punished by heaven. If it can be forgiven, I would like to forgive him! Duke Chen said: "Qin had no choice but to attack Wei. In the past, Wu Zi guarded the Xihe River and invaded Qin after many battles.

Entering Xianyang. Since the time when the princes were prime ministers, Xi was the first to create a unified vertical, uniting the world to attack Qin. Zhang Yi joined forces with Heng to make peace with the world, and wanted to bring peace. Wei dismissed him as prime minister and formed a unified vertical. Although he was defeated repeatedly in battles, he did not

Why did he change his policy? In the 20th year of King Qin's reign, the Five Kingdoms attacked Qin again, and Qin ceded the land in the hope of peace. King Qi destroyed Song Dynasty, and the whole world was fighting for it. Qin was the first righteous, and Wei was plotting against Qin. Why did Qin and Wei suffer, and should they deserve this punishment?

'"

Lord Xinling said: "This is the advantage of a eloquent debater!"

Zhang He said: "I replied: 'When Chen Gong talked about the prime ministers of the five kingdoms, the boy was young and not as good as him. In the 20th year of King Qin's reign, Qin captured dozens of cities in Wei. Wei had no choice but to unite and protect each other.

.The King of Qin restored the land of the six kingdoms, and the six kingdoms naturally withdrew their troops. Why cede the land? When the king first came to the throne, Qin attacked our border. It has only been two years since he reached the outskirts of the country. Therefore, Qin defeated Wei more, but Wei did not lose to Qin!'

"

Lord Xinling also praised: "My master's sharp tongue is no less powerful than Mr. Chen!"

Zhang He said: "Chen Gong said: 'Qin entered the suburbs of Wei, not to attack Wei, but to protect itself. Which one? When Qin leaves Guandong, it must pass through Han and Wei, and Han is the east road, but Wei does not allow it, so it cannot go east.

.Wouldn’t it be a wonderful thing if we can achieve the balance and the world will be at peace?" The minister said: "Qin wants to connect the balance, so it should send its envoys to achieve the king's wishes. But why use troops to join forces, rather than alliance under the city?" Chen Gong said

:'No. The soldiers of Qin joined Kaifeng in order to impress the king's ears and eyes and express his wishes to the king of Wei. Now, thanks to the favor of the king of Wei, Qin is ordered to eat at Kaifeng. Both Daliang and Zheng have provided food and fodder, and they have not been idle.'"

At this time, everyone was shocked: "Daliang and Zheng, both contributed food and fodder?" "Aren't you slacking off?"...

Lord Xinling asked: "What does it mean?"

Zhang He said: "I also asked Chen Gong this question, and Chen Gong replied: 'Brother Zhang was ignorant of the current situation. Brother Zeng took a look at it and informed the young master to decide the big plan!' The minister said: 'What is the big plan?'
