Zhang Ye described in detail his meeting with Chen Zhen and the whole process of their conversation. Lord Xinling and others listened attentively, only occasionally interjecting a sentence or two, and the rest of the time they were savoring it carefully. Chen Zhen's meaning was very clear.

, the people of Qin entered Wei, not for war

To win, we need Lian Heng. Now Han has secretly promised Lian Heng, and the King of Wei seems to be tempted. So how should Huayang act in the future? So far, Huayang's actions have been to resist to the end or even defeat the Qin army.

Yes, will it continue to be the case in the future?

Everyone present was in a heavy mood. Mr. Zhongyue said: "This battle is not on the battlefield, but in the court. I think that the emperor can report back to the court to decide the big plan. The military here can only be paid to the officials and Daliang Wei."

also."

Lord Xinling said: "Let me consult with you two."

When the porridge was ready in the cauldron, everyone filled the porridge one by one and spread out to sip. Naturally, the core disciples such as Mr. Xinling, Zhang Ye, and Mr. Zhong Yue were the first to serve the porridge, and they held it in one place and talked while sipping.

Mr. Jin said: "Mr., you go down from Jishui River and turn around the chasm, which is very suitable for geography. The chasm goes out from Jishui, along the beam, down from Qifeng, and leads to the Huaihe River. Zheng Rendao and the grain road from Jishui River to Kaifeng save labor and cost.

, it is a good strategy not to be judged by Wei again."

Lord Xinling said: "What can I do to stop it?"

Mr. Jin said: "If you go deep into a distant place, it is difficult to hide your traces, and you will be harmed. Moreover, Han and Wei are allies, so it is inconvenient to capture them."

Lord Xinling said: "How can Han and Qin be invincible?"

Mr. Guo said: "We still rely on the help of Han soldiers, so how can we become enemies!"

Mr. Zhongyue said: "If Han and Wei are connected, Qin is also a friend, so why should Han Yan be alone?"

Lord Xinling said: "Mr. Chen said to me with Lian Heng, whether it is appropriate or not? I hope you can teach me."

Mr. Zhongyue said: "The friendship between all countries is based on righteousness and benefit. The Qin, Qin, and Chu dynasties have existed since ancient times. How strange is it to combine vertical and horizontal balances? It is only about benefit and righteousness."

Lord Xinling said: "What are the advantages and righteousness of it?"

Mr. Zhongyue said: "You should know what Qin wants and what Wei wants. I think I should meet Duke Chen again to hear his words and understand his meaning."

Lord Xinling said: "But what I am confused about is that the Qin Dynasty was unyielding in hundreds of battles. It sent out troops every year and campaigned year after year without a break. But what? Wei won in one battle, did not fight for three years, and was defeated in one battle.

, raising troops for ten years. How can the strength and weakness change like this?"

Mr. Zhongyue said: "Mr. Zhang found out that Qin's prisoners are all in the field, and they are all soldiers. They fight to support them, and they can be raised without fighting. How to fight. Therefore, those who conquer every year have no choice but to fight."

Zhang He said: "Both Brother Zeng and Mr. Chen have said this, so I am correct."

Lord Xinling said: "If they make an alliance, how can the Qin general support the prisoners? There will be no war?"

Zhang Ye said: "This is difficult to know."

Lord Xinling suddenly said angrily: "Qin has humiliated Wei countless times, but Wei has never retaliated. This is why I feel unjust. It is my wish to humiliate Qin by unsealing a land!"

The people around him all fell silent and stopped talking. Lord Xinling knew that he had lost his composure, so he calmed down for a while and said: "In the art of war, the master cannot raise an army in anger, and the general cannot attack in anger. There is no harm in doing so, sir.

Don’t blame me. However, if you want to see Mr. Chen, you are asking for advice on how to strengthen the army and enrich the country. It is not about connecting and balancing. This is not the case now. Qin Yaowu is in Wei territory, but Wei lowers his eyebrows and obeys his eyes. It is very difficult to calm him down!"

After the porridge was gone and everyone dispersed, Lord Xinling tried his best to calm down his emotions and said goodbye to everyone one by one. Then he said: "I would like to visit Captain Daliang, sir, and I hope you can help me."

A retainer ran to report the news, and not long after, Lieutenant Daliang came over in person. Lord Xinling led all the retainers to the door, stepped down to greet him, and said, "Gu Zheng wants to visit Lieutenant Daliang, why bother to do it in person!"

Daliang Wei said: "I hate that I can't share my worries for you, because my illness is so difficult. Now that I call you, I dare not miss you."

Lord Xinling asked Daliang Wei to go to the hall, personally added a layer of mats, placed several cases, and said: "Please lie down to clear up the doubts."

Captain Daliang thanked him and said, "How dare you!"

They sat down on both sides. Lord Xinling said: "The people of Qin have not fought for several days and are alone, so I invite you."

Daliang Wei said: "The Qin army has ten thousand people, and we have a hundred thousand enemies. If we are not defeated, we must win. I don't think there is him."

Lord Xinling said: "Is there another plan?"

Daliang Wei said: "Is there any movement in unsealing?"

Lord Xinling said: "I haven't seen it yet."

Daliang Wei said: "Without the support of Qin Feng, there is nothing the Qin people can do."

Lord Xinling said: "What can I do?"

Daliang Wei said: "I thought that if a hundred thousand people attacked ten thousand Qin soldiers in one attack, they would be defeated, so what should I worry about? Can Qin compare one to ten?"

Lord Xinling said: "The people of Qin are good at fighting, and their soldiers are well-trained and well-trained. They are afraid that if they fail to win a battle, they will suffer disaster. If they are invincible first, they will get rid of the plan."

Daliang Wei said: "If you think about the way to eliminate the plan, the first thing is grain. What is the grain road like in Qin and Wei?"

Mr. Zhongyue said: "The food in Huayang can last for a month. I need Dr. Jia to come to South Korea and say that South Korea will help me with food and is willing to pay double the price."

Daliang Wei said: "It is very powerful to raise soldiers at double the price of Jia's grain. I would like to hear about it."

Zhang He said: "We have been holding a stalemate with Qin for several days. When the troops are ready and the formations are proficient in fighting, we can't fight with him."

Daliang Wei said: "To station troops in the field and to stalemate with the enemy consumes the most military strength. How can it be complete? What is Qin's food route like?"

When he asked the key question, no one dared to say anything. Lord Xinling had no choice but to bite the bullet and replied: "Han used the waterway to transport grain to Qifeng in order to seek huge profits!"

Lieutenant Daliang was very surprised and said: "Don't you want to be in the military market? Why?"

Lord Xinling said: "We started with a military market, then inspected Han An and opened the seal by transporting grain, fodder, and water to support the Qin Dynasty."

Daliang Wei said: "Water transport is unsealed? If so, Wei is in danger!"

Lord Xinling said: "I would like to hear the details."

Daliang Wei said: "This is easy to understand. If Wei wants to defeat Qin, it needs help from Korea. Now Han Fei stopped helping Wei and instead helped Qin. It is twice the enemy's strength, but I am half-strength and cannot defeat him. They will definitely be defeated."

"

Lord Xinling said: "What can I do?"

Daliang Wei said: "It's just a matter of cutting off the city to seek peace. However, Qin has entered the suburbs of the country, and it may be difficult for small towns in the border areas."

Lord Xinling said: "Is there no other way?"

Daliang Wei said: "The only way to have diplomatic relations with my country is through war and peace. If we can't fight, we should be able to make peace. I'd rather have him!"

Lord Xinling's face was ashen. He originally wanted to attack Qin and achieve meritorious service, but unexpectedly he was defeated before the battle was fought. He returned without any success. He couldn't help but feel discouraged.

Daliang Wei said: "I hope that the young master will go to Daliang immediately to explain this matter and urge the king to seek peace. If you delay, you will lose more!"

Lord Xinling said: "I have heard that Daliang is also doing business with Qifeng, and I am afraid that the peace talks have already been concluded. I hope that Daliang Wei will come to the court despite his illness and speak for the country, but I will only take the king's wishes into consideration and have no other concerns."

Daliang Wei said: "What are you talking about? I would like to stay in the army, and the son will enter the court."

Lord Xinling said: "You are young and ignorant, and it is difficult to do anything when you enter the court. The Qiancheng of Daliang Weiguo is mature and seeking for the country, and everyone expects it. The peace talks have been started, and the war will cease. I am as safe as a mountain alone in the army. I hope you don't worry about it."

."

Wei Daliang thought for a while and said: "I am uneasy. I went out to the battle on the king's order, and I am the son of this generation. I have not been able to do my best. I have been ill to this day, and I cannot worry about the son. Now that I have returned to the court, I have left the son in the army. This is

How can I bear it!"

Lord Xinling said: "It is really possible for Daliang Lieutenant to enter the court, protect the ancestral temple, and preserve the country. He cannot do it alone. If the military is at ease, there is no other danger. Even if it is unpredictable, there are officials and ministers to protect it.

It’s okay.”

Daliang Wei said: "My son, Boji, is weak but brave. Now that he is in charge of a school, he feels very uneasy. I hope you will always take care of me."

Lord Xinling said: "I will order the young master to serve Daliang Wei and return to the country..."

Daliang Wei said: "No! I have committed disloyalty by abandoning the young master and returning to my country. How dare I trap my son in the disloyal situation again? I am willing to stay in the army and die in service!"

Lord Xinling said: "How dare you disobey the orders given by Lieutenant Daliang!"

Daliang Wei said: "If you are willing to serve on the young master's side, you will be very lucky!"

Lord Xinling said: "Why is this so difficult? What do you think if I order the young master to protect all the soldiers and accept your mission?"

Daliang Wei said: "I deeply feel the kindness of the young master!"

The two agreed that it would not be too late to prepare tonight and set off tomorrow morning. Before departure, Daliang Wei asked to see Mr. Liang Wei and asked him face to face. Lord Xinling agreed and immediately sent someone to invite him into the city.

After seeing off Captain Daliang, Lord Xinling prepared his chariot and sent someone to invite Jin Bi to the city for discussion.

Suddenly, Jin Bi entered the city and after the ceremony, Lord Xinling asked: "Qin Yu and Wei Lianheng, what do you think, sir?"

Jin Bi was startled and said: "Master, how do you know? Is there any order from the king?"

Lord Xinling said: "Yesterday, Mr. Chen met secretly with Mr. Chen. Mr. Chen said this, and he also said that Han and Liang were both in agreement."

Jin Bi said: "Without the king's order, the discussion will not be completed. This important national matter is beyond the scope of ministers. I hope you will not listen."

Lord Xinling said: "I would like to hear the doctor's teachings."

Jin Bi said: "Qin and I are facing each other in the countryside. We are trapped and exhausted, and we are freezing and exhausted. The one we rely on is Qi Er. The three armies can seize the commander, but the generals cannot seize the ambition. Those who want to destroy the enemy's ambition will spread peace talks in the wind and disturb the morale of our army." Even if there is a problem, wait for it to be decided before it can be done. If the situation is not decided yet, the army will lose its morale, and even if it wants to resume the war, it will not be achieved! This cannot be said lightly and not listened to."

Lord Xinling said: "How could I know what the doctor said? What should I do now?"

Jin Bi said: "Since there is no order from the king, we are still with Qin Zhi. We are waiting for the opportunity to attack him, and there are many ways to mislead him. We can't reduce it a little. Even if there is a peace agreement, we can also increase the help of Zun Zu. I hope you will watch it!"

Lord Xinling was a little nervous and said: "I would like to invite Captain Daliang to return to his country, yes or no?"

Jin Bi asked: "What are you asking for?"

Lord Xinling said: "There is no other way, but to dedicate it to the temple for discussion."

Jin Bi said: "Although Lieutenant Daliang entered the camp, many people didn't know it; when he left, people didn't know the reason why he left. Maybe he said he had been ill for a long time and returned home, so there was no serious problem. But don't spread the word about him in the army, for fear of depressing everyone's feelings. "

Lord Xinling said: "This young man is ignorant and has learned too much from the great master's teachings. Those who are still confused now, should we make peace or fight with Qin?"

Jin Bi said: "The business of the country is nothing but war and peace. Now that Qin has entered the outskirts of Wei, the first thing to do is to talk about war. If he wins in battle, Qin will not dare to come back. If he makes peace without fighting, Qin will know what it means, and he will count on it." If we attack, how can we make peace again?"

Lord Xinling said: "If we make peace with Qin, will Qin attack again?"

Jin Bi said: "The so-called peace is not an alliance. In fact, it is ceding territory and bribing it in order to seek temporary peace. If the encounter is not satisfactory, Qin will attack him again and seek bribes. If he cannot fight, he will inevitably make peace again. Although Wei is a big country ,How many sums can there be?"

Lord Xinling said: "The doctor's wishes are very close to my heart. Now that there is no order from the king, I am stalemate with Qin in the countryside. I hope that the doctor will secretly find the gap between Qin and win the battle. This is my only wish."

Jin Bi said: "Young Master's words are true. Although Liang has a peace proposal, it has not yet been concluded. There should be no slack in the military formation. It would be better for the Young Master to send more of his followers to carefully investigate the enemy's situation in order to prepare for war and defense!"
