Seeing that the straw on the mat had become a small pile again, Mr. Grass. Zhang Ye once again wielded his sickle to cut grass and said, "I heard that there is a Tang family among the coachmen. Can Mr. Xiahou speak?"
Mr. Xiahou said: "The Tang family was recommended to the emperor by Mr. Mang, so I naturally fell in love with it. But the Tang family is not the only one. Among the fifty people, there are more than ten!"
Hearing this, Zhang Yu couldn't help but pluck the straw again and said, "That's weird! What are the names of the rest of them?"
Mr. Xia Hou said: "The rest are Wei, Qi, Han, Wei, Qin, Yan, Xin, Zhao, Jing, Yang, Mang, Hong, Wang, Yang, Cao and Guan, to name a few. There are still a number of common people with surnames. Qian, Jia, cattle, rice, etc. Although there are people from three or five tribes, they are not as powerful as the Tang family."
Zhang Noi stopped the sickle in his hand and pondered: "With such a huge momentum and not knowing the details, where do you start if you want to turn an enemy into a friend?"
Mr. Xiahou said: "It's better to divide it."
Zhang Zhe asked: "What's the plan?"
Mr. Xiahou said: "I think about it, these fifty people are not all enemies; even if they are all enemies, there must be differences in connections, confidants, etc. These fifty people are all strong men, as if they were summoned in the name of recruiting troops. , watch its movement and stillness, and you can get half of it."
Zhang Noi said: "I would like to hear the details."
Mr. Xiahou said: "Sir, when a war is about to break out in the army, you can recruit the best and bravest among them to die, and reward and punish them heavily. Those who respond should choose those who are good at driving in the civilian army to take charge of them. If the thing is successful, you will receive a heavy reward, and you will die in action." Then it applies to the wife. I think there should be two things: if the Tang family should all respond, and the rest should not, then the person the Tang family plans must be in the army; if the rest should respond, but the Tang family should not, then the person who should be Friends are not enemies.”
Zhang Zuo thought for a moment and said, "It's not too late. What should we do?"
Mr. Xiahou said: "There is no delay, no hurry. I will call three or five people to come and test them first to see what happens next."
Zhang Noi said: "Mr. Biyi."
Mr. Xiahou put down the stick and walked out of the backyard, while Zhang Noi continued to chop grass. Not long after, Mr. Xiahou walked into the courtyard with five people, pointed at Zhang Noi and said, "This is Mr. Zhang."
Zhang Ye put down the stone sickle, patted the grass on his hand, walked over and said politely: "A certain Zhang family, I met you at the door of Mr. Xinling."
The five people saluted in unison: "I would like to pay my respects to you, sir. Common people dare not call you by your surname, and you may be embarrassed by your humble name."
Zhang Noi said: "I am a commoner, so why not call me your family name? It's also an honorific title? It's easy to call me."
Mr. Xiahou also said: "There are many common people under Lord Xinling's family. Therefore, I call them sir."
After repeated refusals, the five people announced their families: it turned out to be the three brothers of the Qian family, who were called Qian Da, Qian Er, Qian Mo by Xing; The Cao family called himself "Bao". Zhang often replied "Mr. Cao", but refused, and finally called him "Uncle Cao".
After the courtesy was over, Zhang He said: "Just now, my brothers are leading the carriage to the tent. As I was walking, I saw that your brothers are extremely talented and must not be tossed among the oxen and horses. Therefore, I would like to meet you, Mr. Xiahou." "
All five people said: "How dare you do this!"
Zhang Ye said: "I dare to ask brothers, where is Zunxiang?"
Qian Dadao: "My ancestors lived in Pengcheng and moved to Xingyang for three generations."
Niu Erchai: "A certain native of Pu was scattered all over the world. Fortunately, his father cared for him and took him into his travels. He lived in Xingyang for five years now."
Cao Bao said: "A certain man from Lu is the ancestor of Cao Mo. He likes fencing, travels around the world, and lives in the chariot trade. He is not what he wants."
Zhang He said: "In today's troubled times, it is time for a good man to make contributions and establish a career. All brothers are strong men, how can they end up growing old in the fences and verandas. Someone is not talented, but Tian is under the sect of Lord Xinling. I have military affairs, and I hope you can help me. , I don’t know if it’s as expected!”
Cao Bao said: "Sir, you can't say enough. Now that I'm here to help you, let me tell you what you need. Otherwise, how can we know?"
Zhang He looked around at the other four people and saw that they had no reaction, so he said: "Brother Cao is right to blame. But this matter is extraordinary and there is concern for one's life. If you succeed, you will have a lifetime of fame, if you fail, your body and reputation will be destroyed. So not Ye Yan Ye."
Qian Dadao: "We all have families and young children to drag us down, so we don't dare to listen to your husband's words."
Zhang Noi said: "In this case, I hope that the third brother will speak carefully."
The three Qian brothers said, "What's this? I dare you to say such nonsense. You won't dare to talk too much!" They were about to leave. Zhang Yuzhi said: "Three brothers don't want to, so I dare not invite you again. I hope that I can recommend two or three people who are willing to go, so that I can succeed!" Qian Daodao: "This matter involves secrets, and I can't help it!" Zhang He said: "I just want Mr. Zhang from Lord Xinling's sect to recruit people." Qian Dadao said: "I hope Mr. Zhang will allow us to discuss it." Zhang He said: "That's what it should be." The three of them resigned just now.
Zhang Ye asked again: "What do you think, Brother Niu?"
What's wrong with the two cars? "The car actually belongs to the dealer, not someone else. What if it's damaged?"
Zhang Ye said: "Brother Niu, don't worry about this. Mo Yan has his own support in the army. Even if all the oxen and carts are lost, I think this contribution will be worth it."
Niu Erchao: "Although I am alone here, I rely on my father Che a lot. My father Che has the kindness to rebuild me, and I am the same father as Yi. If my father is here, my righteousness will not be in danger."
Zhang Ye said: "I know it. So I hope that my brother can recommend two or three people who are willing to go."
Niu Ercai said: "Let me think about it." He also said goodbye and left.
Zhang He said to the only remaining Cao Bao: "Everyone is resigning, but Uncle Cao is here. How can you do that?"
Cao Bao said: "But if you talk about it in detail, you can do it if you can."
Zhang He said: "It's not because I have something to hide, but the real stakes are very important, so we can't be careless. If Uncle Cao hears it, he will have no regrets!"
Cao Bao said: "If it is possible, do it; if it is not possible, then die. I have always admired the name of Lord Xinling, and if I am close to him, I will have no regrets even if I die."
Zhang Ye said: "If that's the case, why not just respond?"
Cao Bao said: "Although I admire his name, I have never seen his actions. Righteousness or unjustness depends on the heart, and I dare not lie to others."
Zhang Yu said: "What a strong man! You are a righteous man! Being trapped between servants, we are disrespectful!" He bowed to Mr. Xiahou in both directions. Cao Bao stepped aside and said sideways: "Sir, I really don't deserve this courtesy. I hope you can tell me the truth."
Zhang He said: "I don't know this is actually entrusted by your Majesty. I have great righteousness, and your Majesty must have something to say, so I have to respect it. I moved to another place in order to keep it secret!"
Cao Bao said: "A man is upright and aboveboard, how can he have any selfishness! This is not what I dare to hear."
Zhang Ye said: "Don't you hear that 'if the king is not secretive, his ministers will lose their secrets, and if their ministers are not secretive, they will lose their virginity'?" How can a gentleman gain anything from not being secretive in his actions, and how can he lose his integrity?"
Mr. Xiahou said: "Practice is of great importance. It cannot be achieved unless this is done."
Cao Bao said: "I called five people here and four people came back. What secret can I tell you? If you believe someone, you will return to your old place; if you don't believe it, you will stop talking about it."
Zhang He and Xia Hou said together: "Uncle Cao is a righteous man. How dare he disobey orders! I also hope that Uncle Cao can recommend someone who is so loyal and righteous."
Cao Bao said: "How can I be honest? Uncle Tang is a loyal and righteous man."
Mr. Xia Hou asked: "There are many people of Tang family among Che Lao, who is Uncle Tang?"
Cao Bao said: "I'm going to attract him."
Zhang Noi said: "Uncle Cao is so quick, he's done the work!"
