Lord Xinling said: "Using exhausted troops to sneak up and strengthen Qin? Why is this so? Whose plan is this?"
Daliang Wei murmured: "This is what the father-in-law ordered, the ministers discussed, and it is the king's order."
Lord Xinling said: "This is no different than driving the sheep into the tiger's mouth. Why is it like this?"
Lieutenant Daliang couldn't bear it anymore and said in a voiceless voice: "I'm about to ruin this..." He couldn't say any more, but everyone in the audience changed their minds when they heard this.
Lord Xinling looked a little unkind and said: "Why is this so? Tens of thousands of people are all registered as Wei households... Why? How to discuss it in the court?"
Lieutenant Daliang's expression changed and it was difficult to speak. Zhong Yue said: "Lieutenant Daliang can't bear it, so he can't say anything. Mr. Lu is here with us, do you know the details?"
Lu Bo said, "I, brothers, are all clothed in civilian clothes. How do you know about the affairs of the temple?"
Mr. Zhongyue said: "Many businessmen travel with the rich and powerful, not just the Lu family. Brother Kuang Ling has been in the business of pearls and jade for a long time. He is either rich or noble. Mr. Xinling is not a restrained person. All of you are brave men. Regarding temple matters, Mr. But it’s okay!”
Lu Bo was silent for a moment and said: "In that case, I would like to ask you to tell me what you know. Whether it is right or wrong is up to you."
Lord Xinling saluted and said, "Mr. Lu, I only want to explain the details in order to clear up the stupidity. If the meaning is not fulfilled, I will trouble Daliang Wei to make up for it."
Captain Daliang also seemed a little surprised, but when Lord Xinling said this, he had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Lu Bo said: "On the temple, it is better to guard against the people than against thieves. The young master leads an army of one hundred thousand people, and his intentions are menacing. He is really a hundred thousand thieves. It is not appropriate to use the hands of the Qin people to suppress them!"
After hearing these unabashed words, Lord Xinling sat down slumped, his face full of sorrow.
Lu Bo said: "Use the heart of a villain to read the belly of a gentleman, and the young master will observe it."
After a long time, Lord Xinling seemed to have calmed down, and he saluted Lu Bo and said, "Thank you, Mr. Sir, for your teaching!" He turned to Daliang Wei and said, "Is there such a discussion in the temple?"
Wei Daliang also calmed down a little, and whispered: "Although no one said it clearly, the situation is inevitable. What the Wei Dynasty is worried about is Daliang and Putian. Now Qin is approaching Daliang, and disaster is imminent; outside Putian, there are hundreds of thousands of hungry people, waiting for food. , Changes in heart and mind. Although Daliang is in danger, it is like a barbarian, and Putian seems to be safe, but changes are about to occur. Therefore, I invite the young master to return to the city, and I will lead the army to seize the Qin Dynasty to understand the upcoming changes in Putian. This confidential matter is not enough to be related to Outsiders say. Now that Mr. Nailu knows the truth, I have no choice but to explain it in detail."
Lord Xinling was silent for a long time, allowing himself to calm down, and then asked: "Mang Qing, you are a wise man. You must have a plan to save him."
Daliang Wei said: "General Mang is telling me below the court that you can tell the young master about the matter in detail. The young master will definitely have a plan to save him."
Lord Xinling was surprised again and said, "Is there any way to save him?"
Daliang Wei said: "May the young master destroy his family and serve the country!"
When Lieutenant Daliang said this, he seemed to be unable to hold back his emotions and suddenly let out a loud voice that everyone in the audience could hear. A long silence followed.
In silence, Lord Xinling slowly turned around and asked Dong Xi, "What do you think, sir?"
Mr. Zhongyue said: "One hundred thousand civilian troops and more than ten thousand soldiers are exactly the strong reinforcements of Daliang. How can we abandon them and harm them!"
Daliang Wei said: "The army cannot do without food. Even if the civilian army brings ten days of food, the poor may not be able to do so. It has already passed seven or eight days. If the army cannot be supplied with food within three days, the army will be in chaos. Its power will be chaotic. Like a wildfire that spreads across the prairie fire, it cannot be extinguished without great force.”
Lord Xinling said: "When the army has been declared invincible, the solar eclipse will be halved."
Daliang Wei said: "It will only last a day or two, but we will eventually run out of food."
Lord Xinling asked Zhang Noi: "How is the food stored in the army?"
Zhang He said: "I really don't know. However, we carried three days of food out of the city. Although General Mang helped us, we were almost exhausted. You can imagine the rest."
Lord Xinling slapped his thigh hard and said bitterly: "How can things be like this!" Both Zhang Yue and Zhong Yue bowed their heads and remained silent. Lord Xinling continued: "The matter has come to this, and there is no use in resenting it, but please teach me how to resolve it."
Lieutenant Daliang said: "I am here to take charge of the army and fight to the death with Qin. I have been entrusted with the country, and I swear not to frown. I hope you will not be suspicious, sir."
Lord Xinling said: "I am not suspicious of you. Your Majesty, the city is the foundation of the country; the people are the foundation of the country. How can you risk your life by risking your life? If you can save your life for the country, please tell me."
Zhang Ye said: "I have three strategies, and I hope you will choose them. Strictly organize the troops and move the troops to Daliang as foreign aid, which is the best; send them away on the spot, everyone returns to their hometown, so that the people can survive, this is the middle; order the civilian army To put it to death and break it, this is the next level.”
Daliang Wei said: "Move the army to Daliang, where is the army's food? Dismissal on the spot, what to say in the countryside, how can the army return with it? Returning without food will not starve to death on the road, but gather together and think of it as robbery. How is it different from leading to chaos?" Although the military execution is a bad policy, it is actually appropriate for the time. Please do it."
Zhang He said: "I thought that since the farmland is close at hand and the grain has not yet been stored in the warehouse, we can provide military supplies. In this way, the best strategy is feasible."
Daliang Wei said: "Before I left, the Prime Minister earnestly told me that the farmland is the lifeline of the country and the source of its branches. The farmland was not destroyed by Qin, but was damaged by Wei. Even if I die, it will be difficult to redeem it." "
Zhang Ye said: "No. Food is to feed the people. Now that the people are in trouble, wouldn't it be appropriate to save them with water and fire?"
Captain Daliang said: "He doesn't care about the farmland and the royal family. It's not something that our ministers can comment on!"
Lord Xinling said: "In Mr. Zhang's opinion, how much money and food will it cost to disband our army?"
Zhang He said: "I am too slow and hasty to count. To put it simply... there are 10,000 or 20,000 households... no more than 1 or 2 million dan."
Lord Xinling said in surprise: "One or two million stones?... How to transport it back?"
Lu Bo said: "In the past, Duke Li once said that for a small famine, one hundred shi would be collected, for a medium famine, seventy shi, and for a major famine, thirty shi. Today in Wei, we have not heard of major disasters. In villages such as Hufu, it is just a small famine. A small famine of five hundred miles, if you get For tax exemption, one or twenty dan per household is enough, but in total, 300,000 dan is enough?"
Zhang Noi asked: "What's your plan, sir?"
Lu Bo said: "Three hundred thousand stones, although it is not a small number; I am humble and have no talent, but I can still plan."
Zhang Noi said: "I would like to hear the details!"
Lu Bo said: "On average, a man with five people can eat ninety dan per year. Now that we have received a hundred dan, we have no worries about food. What is missing is taxes, temples, and clothes. Your Majesty is exempt from tax, so I will take away one of them. Your Majesty. To help the temple, I will go to the second one; I am willing to help the third one and prepare tens of thousands of pieces of cloth, cinnabar and other items. Your Majesty will send you a letter, and I will ask you to go to the countryside to collect him."
Lord Xinling said: "Why do you want to do this?"
Lu Bo said: "But if you get the certificate of deportation, you can buy a piece of Jia cloth from the merchant. You can get it at a low price."
Lord Xinling said: "Sir, where does the price come from?"
Lu Bo said: "But I have to buy it from you!"
Lord Xinling said: "Good! Sir, as a commoner, his heart is in the temple, and he is disrespectful! I hope you will always be around, so that you can ask for advice sooner or later!"
Lu Bo said: "I am a humble commoner. I have always been attached to Ji, and I dare not ask for my ear! But if I can be served, I am sincerely willing to do it!"
Lord Xinling said: "How lucky I am to have the help of brothers from the Lu family. I'm so young!" After saying this, he bowed down deeply.
The Lu brothers hurriedly avoided the banquet and bowed to each other, saying together: "How virtuous is the Lu family that we should return to the sect of the young master? But this will be reciprocated without any hesitation!"
Lieutenant Daliang sighed during the banquet: "Young Master's righteousness is spread throughout the world. Now that the hero has come to surrender, I secretly congratulate you!"
