Suddenly, the shouts started again, and the rhythmic drumbeats came from afar, which seemed very calm among the violent drums. Then the violent drums stopped, and the bells rang, and then the bells became more and more urgent.

Zhang Ye finally saw groups of Qin soldiers withdrawing from the dust. It was obvious that some Qin soldiers were dragging their injured companions.

The shouts from the opposite side were getting louder and closer, and the steady drumbeats were approaching from far away. Zhang Noi's heart dropped: the Wei army's counterattack drove away the Qin army.

Rhythmic drumbeats also sounded in the Qin army. The square array that had been parked on the edge of the dust slowly advanced, and the Qin soldiers who retreated from the dust also put down their supporting companions, turned around to form formation, and marched in again with the sound of the drums.

In the dust. Then a bell rang.

People kept walking out of the dust, most of them limping and obviously injured; a few were helped or even dragged out by them. Chen Zhen looked at it quietly for a while and said: "Hundreds of people were injured."

Mr. Bao said: "I wonder if anyone was killed in battle?"

Chen Zhen said: "The Wei people collapsed at the first touch. How could they be killed in battle? The reason is that their ears were injured by arrows."

Mr. Bao said with some regret: "I wonder how many levels of head I got?"

Chen Zhen said: "The halberd warriors should be the first to pursue."

The battle line seemed to have come to a standstill. Although there were a few drums and bells ringing, it was not intense. It should be a small-scale adjustment of deployment.

Chen Zhen looked at the sky and said: "That's it for today. We will have to retreat soon. Mr. Zhang has other things to do. We can't stay here for a long time. I would like to take my leave for now."

Mr. Bao said: "I don't dare to leave the meal." At the same time, he ordered the retainers to go down and prepare the car.

I stood on the tower and watched for a while. There was no obvious change in the battlefield situation. I could only see the wounded soldiers of the Qin army sitting, lying or standing, as if they were also watching the battle ahead. When I was young, my retainers came to report that the carriages were ready.

Chen Zhen took Zeng Ji and Zhang Yu down to the city, accompanied by Mr. Bao. As soon as the carriage stopped next to the city gate, a group of Wei soldiers stood beside it. Chen Zhen and the other three got on the carriage, and Zhang Yu was still there.

After the emperor said goodbye to Mr. Bao, he drove out of the city. After leaving the city, Zhang Noi turned onto the road according to Mr. Chen Zhen's instructions and walked quickly towards Zheng.

Zhang He deliberately kept a little distance from the Korean soldiers behind him so that the conversation in the car would not be heard by others. Chen Zhen was quite satisfied with this and took the initiative to speak in the car: "It is true what you said. There are twenty thousand Qin soldiers."

He is not an enemy of one hundred thousand Wei soldiers."

Zhang Ye was very embarrassed. He could naturally see that the Wei army actually suffered a big loss in this battle, especially the civilian army, which may have suffered a large number of casualties. Although the final counterattack caused some casualties to the Qin army, they were completely equal to the casualties suffered by the Wei army.

Out of proportion, the Qin army was injured and the Wei army was killed. So he didn't say anything, just sighed.

Chen Zhen naturally saw what he was thinking and said: "Sir, don't be ashamed. Wei has thirty camps. I thought that the Qin people could defeat more than ten camps. Let's look at it now. But if they get five or six ears, it will be a big surprise."

Zhang Noi said: "How do you know how to defeat the fifth and sixth battalions, sir?"

Zeng Ji, who was on the right, smiled and said: "How many times will the army enter and how many times will it defeat the enemy? It's a certain number. How can we know it? If we break ten battalions, we can go straight into the center of the army, but now we only have one side!"

Zhang He said: "It's all thanks to Mr. Chen and Brother Zeng for their help. I dare not say thank you. I would like to meet you and express my sincerity face to face!"

Chen Zhen fell silent. Zhang Noi asked: "Mr. Chen, is there anything you can't say?"

Chen Zhen said: "There is a dilemma: I am a Korean guest now, and I am not allowed to leave the country unless I have something to do. You are a noble man, and you do not want to stand in a dangerous place. If I want to pay you a visit, where should I go?"

Seeing Chen Xun mentioning this issue, Zhang Yue was filled with joy: It seems that Chen Xun really intends to find a way to find a way out of Lord Xinling, but some technical problems are difficult to solve. He then said: "If you give me advice, sir, you will do your best.

I wish you, sir, to name a person who can meet Lord Xinling with me and discuss this matter. But I have to pay homage to you, so I will have no other words."

Chen Zhen said: "Although the words come from the teacher, the heart must be sent to the young master. The young master knows what happened to me, and it is difficult for me to repay him with my body. I should not avoid hardships and dangers, and go to see him personally - but I can take advantage of it."

Zhang He asked: "Sir, you said that Han and Wei were Lianheng. I heard that I told the King of Wei that he was the only one left behind. Why?"

This straightforward question stunned both Chen and Zeng.

Chen Zhen was still experienced and took the opportunity to ask: "Young Master, have you also heard about it? How can I see you?"

Zhang He said: "Since the king came to the throne, the country has appointed all the courtiers, and the prince has only let down his hands. Now that Wei is overthrown, the prince has to stand up. Although he has unified the army and is facing a strong enemy, he really has no fixed ideas in his mind. He wants to unite and balance.

None of them have heard anything.”

Chen Zhen said: "Sir, you can tell me from the bottom of your heart, and I won't tolerate my failure to offer advice to the young master. However, as a guest, my actions are hindered, so there is nothing I can do! I thought about it, but I got the idea, so I asked Brother Zeng to speak for me.

The prince’s order.”

Zhang He said: "But with Chen Gong's promise, your Majesty will definitely get what you want. Your Majesty looks forward to Chen Gong like a hungry and thirsty man. I hope you will decide on your plan in advance and don't turn against him."

Chen Zhen said: "Who do you think you are, who dares to trouble the young master?"

The car got on the main road and went straight to Beiqumen. After thirty miles, the Han soldiers ran down all the way, all exhausted. When they saw Zheng Cheng, the leader handed over the festival talisman and waved to let the car pass. He and Chen Zhen

After saying goodbye, he led the Korean soldiers to go and clear up their business. Chen Gong asked Zhang Noi to move the car aside and said: "Brother and I say goodbye to each other, but we have some differences, so please don't ask Brother Zeng to tell us." Zhang Noi jumped out of the car and Zeng said.

Ji took the reins and led the chariot towards the palace gate. Zhang Nou did not dare to leave the city immediately, fearing that the city guards would recognize him, so he made a large circle and found an opportunity to get out of the city among a large group of people.

After leaving Beiqumen, Zhang Ye first went around to Nilv, where the hangers-on lived. The two hangers-on were indeed there. The hangers-on dressed as coachmen met with Zhang Ye. Everyone was a little excited and thought they would follow Dr. Xu Jia to Zhengzhou.

It had been four or five days since I had been here, and I couldn't go anywhere. I was very frustrated. Zhang Yu asked them where Dr. Xu Jia had been recently. They replied that they had hardly gone anywhere here, and they might have gone to the post house.

I've been to some places, but I don't know exactly where.

Zhang He asked: "Does the doctor also go on a reverse journey?"

The guests replied: "Every day when I eat, I will send my condolences. Now it is close to the meal time, or it will come soon."

Zhang He said: "When the doctor arrives, he may discuss with him for a long time. If someone asks, he only recommends the matter of deciding on a mediocre car." Everyone agreed.

Sure enough, not long after, Dr. Xu Jia and others arrived with rice and grain. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Zhang Ye dressed as a retainer, and was stunned for a moment. A guest hurriedly stepped forward and introduced him: "It's Mr. Zhang and others who want me to drive.

If you don’t dare to do it yourself, you must discuss it with the doctor.”

Dr. Jia understood and went straight over to greet Zhang Ye. The others naturally recognized Zhang Ye, but when the guest said so, they did not say anything and followed behind to greet him. The leading guest said: "I will cook food in the courtyard while the doctor waits.

Please stay indoors for a while. Food will be ready in a while, sir. Please join us for dinner."

Zhang He hurriedly took out a bunch of money from his arms and said, "Let's prepare some money for salt and plum blossoms!" The retainer wanted to refuse, but Dr. Jia also took out a bunch of money from his arms and said, "Buy a jar of wine in the restaurant."

, two chickens, drinking with Mr.

Zhang He couldn't laugh or cry. He was a retainer who came to Yongche. He was a stranger. Whenever he met, he wanted to "drink together". He quickly said: "How dare you bother the doctor to give him wine if you are a lowly man?"

Xu Jia immediately understood that he had lost his temper, but he immediately made up for it and said: "We are all brothers in the four seas. Brothers don't care about cars, so we are brothers. How dare we distinguish ourselves from others!" The retainer asked the two of them into a room. In the small room, that is where they discuss secret matters. It is separated from the surroundings and no one can eavesdrop.

As soon as he entered the door, Dr. Xu Jia whispered: "Why did Mr. Zhang come here?"

Zhang Ye still looked around alertly, walked in the middle of the room, pulled out two straw mats, the two sat down, and then whispered: "Go to Zheng to visit Mr. Chen!"

The word "Mr. Chen" startled Xu Jia again. He asked Zhang Noi urgently: "Can I see Mr. Chen?"

Zhang Ye said: "See it!"

Xu Jia sat back with a frustrated look on his face and said, "Although I know where it is, I still can't see it."

Zhang He said: "The doctor's mission has made you very worried. So I sent Han Bu to help me, but I haven't received any news yet. I sent Mr. Zheng to inquire again, but I can't find the key. I don't know what the progress is."

Xu Jia said: "It's very difficult! The King of Han, the Crown Prince, the Prime Minister of Han, and the general have all given excuses and disappeared. So far, the mission has not been fulfilled. If I don't come, I can see the two officials. Although they have heard from each other, they still can't see me." "

Zhang He said: "Wei and Han exchange appointments and inquires. Why does Wei's envoy arrive but Han does not arrive?"

Xu Jia sighed and said: "There is a big reason for this! Its origin lies in Chen Gong."

Zhang Noi said: "I would like to hear the details."

Xu Jia said: "Instead of announcing my first arrival, I would still like to pay a visit to the DPRK as an envoy, so I went to the Korean Prime Minister's Gate with a festival to tell me that I was in the DPRK, but I couldn't see you. I parked my car on the long street to wait, but I couldn't. When I got to the house, I asked again. He still didn't return, but he couldn't. The next day, he went to see General Bao's Mansion, and he was also at court, but he couldn't come back. So he went to the court, followed Xingren's house to pay a visit, and told him that government affairs were busy, and ordered him to wait in the post. He asked to see the prince again, and he replied. , the prince supervises the country and does not manage state affairs. When the Wei envoy arrived, he did not receive the king's order and did not dare to appear in court. He repeatedly ran into obstacles and everything did not go smoothly, and he has been wasting his time so far. Later, he made no remarks and secretly visited the officials, but he still couldn't find the way. I will keep the rules in the long street to attract people's attention; if I don't attract the Wei envoys to secretly visit the officials, they may be able to get through."

Zhang Zhuo asked: "Don't you invite the Wei envoy to visit the doctor?"

Xu Jia said: "Wei's envoys are blocked, so they are not independent ministers. Three of the king's orders to send Han to ask for help are blocked. These three are of low status and low power. They just follow the orders of others. If they fail to fulfill their mission, they cannot return to their country to resume their duties. Conspire with me to achieve the mission together."

Zhang Ye asked: "What's the gain?"

Xu Jia said: "We know about the communication between Qin and Han. This is what Chen Gongzhen said. But Zhen not only talked about Han, but also wanted to talk about Wei. Chen Gong said that Wei and Qin, and Wei said that Han resisted Qin. Han could not resist Qin, nor could he. and Wei, so we don't have access to Wei envoys, just to wait for the time."

Zhang He said: "Is it necessary to make peace between Wei and Qin, so that Nai can achieve peace? What do you mean? If the peace between Qin and Wei has been completed, what are the reinforcements for?"

Xu Jia said: "This is exactly what I meant. Wei Die asked Han to help Wei to fight Qin, but Qin wanted to make peace with Wei. Han knew that Qin and Wei were at peace, so he had to fight against Qin. The current situation is absurd, and this is the case."

Zhang Ye asked: "What can we do about the peace talks?"

Xu Jia said: "The peace talks between Qin and Wei were all discussed in Qifeng. No one in the Zheng Dynasty heard about it, but Duke Chen knew about it."

Zhang He said: "Mr. Chen is not a guest of Han Dynasty, so how can he discuss it with Qin and Wei?"
