Zheng Anping went home with the villagers. Since their homes were far away, the other three decided to rest for a night before going home. The four of them agreed on the order of duty: Zheng Anping would be on duty alone for a whole day tomorrow; starting from the day after tomorrow, everyone would gather during the day

, taking turns on duty at night.

Perhaps because they had eaten meat, the villagers were in a lively mood along the way. They each described their difficulties and worries in the camp, expressed their good wishes for the coming year, and wished each other well.

The people in Donghongli had a dinner at Liangxiyi, so they came back very late, and the militiamen from the neighborhood had already returned. So when they came back, everyone who could still move around gathered in the square in front of the house to treat each other. The crowd

As soon as he arrived, he was immediately taken back by various families. Only Zheng Anping walked through the busy alleys and came to the yard alone at the end. He opened the door with a "squeak" and Zhang Lu came out of the wing. Zheng Anping

Anping went over to greet him and said, "Well, sir!"

Zhang Lu said: "Well done, sir! Please change your clothes first before talking!"

Zheng Anping followed his instructions and went back to the hall first. He hung his armor and crossbow arrows on the rack, leaned his spear on the pillar and beam, changed into regular clothes, came out, and entered Zhang Lu's wing.

As soon as he entered the wing, Zheng Anping couldn't wait to ask: "Why did the Qin people enter the pass and leave in just a few days? It took more than a month for me to recover."

Zhang Lu said: "The people of Qin do not have enough food for a long time."

Zheng Anping said: "There is a lot of food in the fields, how can there be no food?"

Zhang Lu said: "You don't know something. When the Qin people go on an expedition, they don't have cauldrons or woks to go with them. They just prepare bowls and lamps. All their grains are burned, and only three kilograms of millet can be used to get one kilogram of grain. The Qin people always carry ten kilograms of grain with them, which can last as little as ten days."

, it will take more than a month, and the food will be exhausted. The food in the fields is all rice. If it is not pounded and cooked, it will be difficult to swallow, and the people of Qin will not accept it."

Zheng Anping said: "Since the Qin people have no food, they should retreat that day. How can they invade me?"

Zhang Lu smiled and said: "This Marquis Rang wants to benefit his own interests."

Zheng Anping said: "Why do you benefit yourself?"

Zhang Lu said: "The prime minister of Qin was granted the title of Marquis Rang, and his seal was in Tao, which is the place where wealth and goods gather in the world. In the past, Duke Zhu of Tao relied on it, and he gathered and dispersed three times. However, the land of Tao changed.

Ten thousand people have nothing to defend, so it is not to consolidate the foundation, but to establish a foundation. Since Marquis Rang was granted the title of Tao, every time he wanted to expand, he must have a strong city to solidify it. Now he attacks Liang with surprise troops, and his intention is to cook jujube in the city on the edge of Liang.

, I want to achieve great pottery."

Zheng Anping was not familiar with the geography of these mountains and rivers, and asked: "How far are the pottery and boiled dates from Liang?"

Zhang Lu said: "About three hundred miles."

Zheng Anping said: "It's not that far away."

Zhang Lu said: "Wei's land is narrow. It is only a hundred miles away from Zheng, the capital of Han, and only two hundred miles away from Chen, the capital of Chu. It is five hundred miles away from Handan, the capital of Zhao, in the north. It is three hundred miles away from Tao, which is far away!"

Zheng Anping said: "How many roads are there between Qin and Liang?"

Zhang Lu said: "It is no less than a thousand miles from Daliang to Hangu, the border pass of Qin, and another five hundred miles from Hangu to Xianyang."

Zheng Anping said: "How Qin is big, but Wei is small."

Zhang Lu said: "Although Qin is large, the soil is bitter and cold, the land is thin and the people are poor, and it is located in a wilderness. Although Wei is small, there are rivers and canals everywhere, and the wilderness is thousands of miles away. The things are abundant and the people are common. Each has its shortcomings and advantages."

Zheng Anping said: "Wei and Qin share a city, and Marquis Rang obtained it with the great pottery, so the Qin troops retreated."

Zhang Ludao: "There is no big difference in what I said. But the towns given to me are not boiled dates, they are actually warm."

Zheng Anping said: "If it is built with large pottery, there is nothing wrong with it."

Zhang Lu said: "No. If you want to boil dates, use a large pottery, and if you want to warm them, use a large Nanyang."

Zheng Anping asked: "What is Nanyang?"

Zhang Ludao said: "Nanyang Zhouji, the princes led the rebellion, and King Qin of Jin had merit, so he was awarded to Jin. The three families were divided into Jin, and each had its own land. They were intertwined and there was no distinction between them. In the past, Qin and Wei fought against Zhe many times. The former

, Qin made peace with Wei in Qifeng, and captured the eight cities of Nanyang from Wei, all of which were small towns on the border. After reentering the territory of Wei, he also captured Wen, the large city of Nanyang. Therefore, Qin occupied the eight border cities of Nanyang, and gained half of a huge city.

There’s a lot going on in Nanyang!”

Zheng Anping said: "I've heard that Nanyang has a thin land and poor people. Why do we fight here so many times?"

Zhang Lu said: "There is a reason for this. The Three Jin Dynasties were originally based in Shanxi, but due to the rebellion of Rong and Di, they moved to Shandong. The land of Shandong is connected to the homeland of the Three Jin Dynasties, and its path is in Nanyang. Therefore, the destruction of Nanyang is the destruction of the Three Jin Dynasties.

The key point is that if the Three Jin Dynasties occupy Nanyang, it will be difficult for Qin to leave Shandong."

Zheng Anping said: "If this is true, Qin did not conquer Tao but conquered Nanyang, and gained little?"

Zhang Ludao: "It's just like what the young master said! It's easy to cook jujube with warm temperature. It seems that it's easy to cook jujube with small things, but it actually has a lot of benefits!"

Zheng Anping said: "How can we come up with this?"

Zhang Lu said: "Cooking jujube is close to pottery, and the benefits are many. Although the temperature is great, the benefits are few. Therefore, many people in the Wei Dynasty are willing to cook jujube with warmth and ease."

Zheng Anping was a little uneasy and asked: "Qin conquered Nanyang, what is the situation like?"

Zhang Lu said: "Qin's defeat of Nanyang is the key to attacking the Three Jins. If the Three Jins break half of it, they will die!"

Zheng Anping said: "Since the country is concerned, why don't you remonstrate with me?"

Zhang Lu said: "Those who eat meat are despicable, and it will be difficult to remonstrate with others. A gentleman is a metaphor for righteousness, and a villain is a metaphor for profit. Losing the boiled dates is good for the country, but not good for the clan; losing the temperature is bad for the country, but the clan is not harmed. You are the princes, who will take what?

?”

Zheng Anping said: "How can Sir show you everything about this court matter?"

Zhang Lu said: "The Chao Tang is a vast, grassy place. It is unique in nature. If you observe its purpose, you will know it!"

Zheng Anping said: "Sir, can you tell me the details?"

Zhang Lu said: "It's easy to know! When Qin seeks the land of Wei, there must be border towns. There are few connections between Qin and Wei. They are only Nanyang and Tao'er, and their cities are only boiled dates and warm. So why is it so difficult!"

Zheng Anping said: "Sir, you can really show the world in the palm of your hand!"

Zhang Lu said: "Young master, what's going on in the camp?"

Zheng Anping said: "There is nothing like him in the camp. He just gets up early and lines up, and sleeps well at night. Now that the weather is cold, it's hard to sleep at night, so he just sits around the fire and waits for dawn."

Zhang Lu did not let it go easily and asked many details. Zheng Anping answered them one by one. Sometimes he was emotional, sometimes he was so sad that he was crying. He vented all kinds of emotions. In the end, he fell asleep in the wing without knowing it.

.

Zhang Lu tightened the belt on his chest, lay down next to Zheng Anping and fell asleep.

When he woke up the next day, Zheng Anping hurried to Liangxi Station without waiting for breakfast. The other three people got dressed, saw Zheng Anping coming, said goodbye, and went home. Zheng Anping went around each room and added lights.

oil; he went to the warehouse and counted the grain. Calculating the days, there were still three days before the customs clearance. He thought that the original post official Ma San had died in the battle, and among the remaining four, he was the oldest and most senior.

It is very possible to take over the post of post official: this means going to a higher level! From now on, not only will you have a salary, but you will also be able to eat and live in the post, and the expenses will be much less. Maybe it won’t take long to get what you have lost.

The halberd is replaced.

Thinking of this, he had an idea: take the initiative to report the death of Ma San to Ximen Wei's Mansion and apply for a special case next month. The thought came together and he couldn't suppress it. He couldn't even wait to install the handhalberd, only the sword on the handhalberd.

After tightening the clothes, he straightened his clothes, closed the door, held the festival talisman in his arms, and headed to the west gate with the "hand gun" in hand.

Zheng Anping thought that he had not been able to run as much as he wanted in some days. Now that the weather was not cold yet and he was in good spirits, he might as well go for a run. He trotted all the way towards the beam.

Although Lieutenant Ximen did not have many troops, he was an official at the level of the school leader. He did not usually go to his post. Sometimes, he usually reported to the Western Guards. When Zheng Anping arrived at Ximen, the soldiers guarding the city naturally recognized him, so he stopped and asked.

Zheng Anping said: "Brother Ma was killed in battle, so I came here to report the damage and to report that the food supply was exhausted!"

The soldiers guarding the city took Zheng Anping to the city gate and reported the incident. Naturally, Shi Chang had nothing else to say and asked him to report to the west gate guard post.

The west gate is the main entrance of Daliang. Once you enter, you are directly opposite Daliang Gate, with no other buildings in the middle. The west gate guard station can only be pitifully next to the northwest gate high gate guard station.

Walking towards Gaomen along the city wall, the first person who saw him was the Gaomen guard. They met each other, asked about the situation, and pointed Zheng Anping to the Ximen Guards Station. In a large courtyard, the Ximen Guards said seriously

After receiving Zheng Anping and asking about the situation, Ximen Wei said: "Liangxi Post has been requisitioned by Wei Gongzi Xinlingjun, and the tiger talisman has not been returned. I should go to the prince to report his death and collect grain and fodder!"

Hearing this news, Zheng Anping felt as if a basin of cold water was poured down his head, and his whole body became cold: Do you want to find Lord Xinling? Just yourself? Lord Xinling came to Guanyi to offer sacrifices, but at that time he could invite Xinling

Will you return the tiger talisman and allocate food and fodder? Now? How to find it?

Ximen Wei said: "I heard that Lord Xinling is still opening a mansion in Daliangmen. Brother, I might be able to meet him if he comes to visit!"

How dare Zheng Anping! He just said thank you and came out. If Lord Xinling didn't return the tiger talisman, his brothers would not even be able to keep their status as military soldiers. He wanted to take the opportunity to go one step further and become a post.

Where are the officials!

Dejected, he returned to the west gate and told the soldiers about the unfair treatment. At that moment, some soldiers encouraged Zheng Anping to go to Daliang Gate to find Lord Xinling, but Zheng Anping did not dare to kill him. In the end, he still grew up.

He came up with an idea and said: "Doctor Jin Bi will have to pass through Daliang Gate when he returns home today. Brother, he stopped the car to complain, maybe he has a point!"

When Zheng Anping heard this, he thought that although this method was a bit risky, it was more reliable than trying to break into Daliang Gate. He said gratefully: "I would like to watch the doctor's return from the gate tower. If my head is saved one day, there will be a reward!"

Shi Chang smiled and went upstairs with Zheng Anping.

Around noon, I saw a band of dust coming towards the west gate from a distance. Shi Chang said: "The doctor has arrived, brother, let's go!"

Zheng Anping hurriedly got off the tower and waited outside the city gate. Soon, as expected, a motorcade came and stopped at a hundred paces. He took the car and drove fifty paces before stopping. He got off the car on the right and headed towards the city gate.

Coming. Zheng Anping recognized that this person was Mr. Xiao Jian, and rushed out quickly: "Sir, save me, sir, save me!"

Xiao Jian was startled. Why did he meet someone asking for help just after he arrived? He looked closely and saw that it was Zheng Anping, so he hurriedly asked: "What's the matter, Master?"

Zheng Anping said: "The humble ones are the soldiers of the Liangxi post. They were recruited by the emperor again and followed him around. Now that he has returned to the post, he is going to Ximen to report the death of the third brother Ma, and to deal with the grain and fodder division, etc. Do you mean that the tiger talisman is still with you?
