Jin Bi looked at Lord Xinling in surprise and said for a long time, "Is Lieutenant Daliang okay?"
Lord Xinling also looked at Jin Bi, nodded heavily and said, "Here!"
Jin Bi asked solemnly: "Is this the plan of Captain Daliang?"
Lord Xinling said: "Here!"
Jin Bi said: "What's the plan?"
Lord Xinling said: "Destroy the family and build the country!"
Jin Bi breathed a long sigh of relief, pondered for a moment, and said: "This is not Daliang Wei's plan, someone else must teach him."
Lord Xinling said: "This is General Mangmao's strategy."
Jin Bi said: "It's really a wise idea..."
Lord Xinling said: "Do you have any doubts, sir?"
Jin Bi said: "The words passed down by the young master must be unclear and incomplete. Is it okay for me to ask the young master to give you all the details?"
Lord Xinling said: "It's not that I don't know everything about it. It's actually very important and I can't know it all. After I enter the mansion, I'll let you gentlemen explain it in detail."
Jin Bi said: "Greetings!"
In the distance, the small town is already in sight. Soon the sentry's command came from the city: "Who is it?"
Jin Bi shouted: "General, return to the city!" The carriage changed to a slow pace fifty steps away from the city, galloped into the city, and went straight to the city lord's palace. When they arrived at the door of the mansion, Lord Xinling and Jin Bi jumped out of the car, bowed briefly in front of the door, then entered one after another and went straight to the lobby. There was a guest staying in the corridor. When he saw the two people coming to the hall, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet them. Lord Xinling said: "Please invite Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zhongyue to come to the study to discuss matters." Then they entered the study. After meeting again, Lord Xinling sat at the top and Jin Bi sat at the bottom.
Lord Xinling said: "It is not Wuji who dares to bully the doctor. In fact, the relationship is not trivial and cannot be heard."
Jin Bi immediately stood up and said, "Stop!" He went out to observe for a while, then came back, sat down again, and said, "There is no one around. You can tell me the details."
Lord Xinling put his hands on his knees, composed himself, and said: "Doctor, please note that Daliang Wei has said that the army in the middle of the court is facing the army outside the city... and wants to drive them all to fight against Qin."
Jin Bi said: "It's not my intention."
Lord Xinling said: "Young man, I have a heart full of resentment and want to put the people of Wei to death. So I discussed it with all the scholars."
Jin Bi said: "Young Master's benevolence can move heaven and earth."
Lord Xinling said: "Three strategies have been agreed upon: first, collect a hundred thousand troops outside Daliang City, and coordinate internally and externally, so that Qin will be defeated; secondly, the army should be dispersed on the spot, and everyone should return to their hometowns; secondly, move forward in a hurry to attack Qin. Slow down the fight."
Jin Bi said: "The key to the three strategies is to have enough food for the army. Therefore, the young master sent envoys to the fields to collect food for transportation to the army."
Lord Xinling said: "The doctor has an insight!"
Jin Bi said: "The garden is the king's field, it is under the control of the young man's office, and it is the source of the palace. Why should it be used by others?"
Lord Xinling said: "That's why I take the title of Gu as a pledge."
Jin Bi said: "How many times will the garden grow?"
Lord Xinling said: "Thousands of miles of farmland are cultivated by mediocre people, and they are no better than farmers. Although their number is unknown, their annual income dare not exceed several million dan. Now that the autumn harvest is coming, it is returning to the warehouse to continue, and there is no consumption."
Jin Bi said: "Young master, I don't say anything. The rice that comes from the fields, the rice that comes from the sacrifices, is not comparable to other grains. Those who have a surplus will compete with each other for the capital of the palace. How can the millet in the seal be reached?" "
Lord Xinling said: "This is not what I know."
Jin Bi said: "Young master, you should know that for five hundred thousand dan, how many cars will be needed?"
Lord Xinling said: "The chariot can carry twenty shi, but a hundred shi can't carry more than 2,000 shi per day."
Jin Bi said: "Of course. Five hundred thousand stones, although ten thousand vehicles are difficult to handle, how can it be prepared for only a thousand vehicles and a hundred thousand people."
Lord Xinling said: "Now that the doctor has said it, he must be able to teach me."
Jin Bi said: "Master, what plan do you want to take?"
Lord Xinling said: "The truth has not yet been determined."
Jin Bi said: "I hope you will decide your strategy first and then say anything else."
Lord Xinling said: "How dare you ask the doctor to help you fight alone."
Jin Bi said: "It is the best strategy to drive troops into the Great Wall and approach Daliang to join forces with Qin, but the king will not allow it."
Lord Xinling said: "Why?"
Jin Bi said: "To guard against the people is like guarding against thieves. From the Great Wall to Daliang, there are villages along the way; it is also the autumn harvest, the fields are full of grain, and the treasury is full. If there are hundreds of thousands of troops, they will be the remaining thieves. This is the way to open the door and bow to the thieves. Daliang The wilderness is ruined and the foundation of the country is cut down.”
Lord Xinling said: "I believe it."
Jin Bi said: "Drive the army to guard the Qin queen, build strong walls and build strongholds, and slow down to join it. Although it is called fighting Qin, it is a fight. What does it mean? Qin people eat on Wei, and Wei people also eat on Wei; Qin people kill Wei people , the Wei people also killed the Wei people; the Qin people attacked Wei's city, and the Wei people also attacked the Wei city; the Qin people took Wei's goods, and the Wei people also took Wei's goods. Therefore, although it is called fighting Qin, it is actually a fight."
Lord Xinling was about to respond when an announcement came from outside the door: "Your Majesty Zhang Zhen/Yue Zhong has been ordered to see Lord Xinling." The two people sitting opposite each other in the room immediately stood up, walked through the lobby, went down the steps, and saluted at the bottom of the steps. Zhang He and Zhong Yue returned the greeting. The four of them met twice and went up the east stairs one by one and returned to the study. Jin Bi wanted to sit down under Lord Xinling and asked Zhang Yue and Zhong Yue to sit at the opposite table. Zhang and Yue refused. Finally Lord Xinling said: "Doctor and Mr. Xinling, please take a seat at the west table. Gu Yudong Please ask me for advice." After a few polite words, he finally sat down according to Lord Xinling's arrangement.
Lord Xinling said: "We discussed three strategies yesterday, but it was difficult to make a decision alone, so I decided to make a decision alone. I think that the upper and lower strategies are both difficult to adopt, and the middle strategy has not yet been announced."
Zhong Yue said: "I would like to hear the doctor's advice."
Jin Bi said: "To put it simply, if you take the best strategy, you will cut down the base, and if you take the wrong strategy, you will cut down the bottom. Both of them will hurt themselves."
Zhang Ye and Zhong Yue saluted together: "The doctor's insight is very pertinent! I hope the doctor can only say something about it."
Jin Bi said: "The middle policy will hurt the wealth, and the court discussion and the emergency battle will hurt the people, both of which are not calculated. The two harms are mutually beneficial, and the harm to wealth is the lightest. However, it is not easy to dispatch a hundred thousand people. If they gather together, they will become thieves. , the disaster is not small."
Zhang He said: "The Wei State sends troops for more than one day. As is the old rule, if the army returns to the country and disperses, what harm will it do?"
Jin Bi said: "Sir, you don't know something. The country is not in war and chaos when stragglers return home, and the village elders welcome them to the country. Most of the soldiers have made meritorious service and return to their hometowns with honor. Now the country is facing war, and the village elders are not here. All the troops have done nothing, and one person is making noise. Everyone will respond, and the task will be successful. Fighting in a hurry to respond to Qin will harm the peace of the world, but it will actually cause hidden worries. It is a last resort."
Hearing this, Lord Xinling and the other three fell silent. When I was young, Lord Xinling said: "Young man is ignorant and doesn't understand the current situation. I need you to give me some advice from the doctor."
Jin Bi said: "How dare I, I just tell you everything I know and wait for the king to make a clear decision."
Lord Xinling said: "I can't bear to throw hundreds of thousands of people into a place where they will die. They will definitely want to resurrect the people of Wei. I hope the doctor can plan it well!"
Jin Bi thought for a moment and said, "It's hard to save all of the 100,000 people, so what if we save the majority?"
Lord Xinling said: "The doctor must have a good plan!"
Jin Bi said: "Your Majesty, in the name of selecting an army, weed out the old and the weak, and ordered them to return to their hometowns. The old and the weak will behave well, and their strength will be weak. If they cannot protect each other, they will not be in danger. Tomorrow I will go to my father, brother, and his disciples." If you are in the army, you will not dare to cause trouble. Tomorrow, if your orphan has a family, it will not be inconvenient for him to cause trouble. There are still 120,000 or 20,000, and if there are 20,000 or 30,000, you can go to the Qin army. But in these three days, you will definitely get food."
