The elder of the Wei family was sitting on the steps in front of the posthouse. When he saw Zhang Noi coming over to ask for advice, he seemed to be scratched and said excitedly: "You can teach me! Sit down and let me talk to you!"
Zhang He bowed respectfully and knelt down at the foot of the steps, like a respectful disciple. Zhang Yue's respectful attitude was very useful to the elders of the Wei family. He looked at Zhang Yue with admiration and said: "I'm telling you, the people of Qin will plan this time before the New Year. Do you know that the people of Qin will celebrate the New Year after harvesting the grain? It is in the tenth month. After gathering the new grains, arranging the winter clothes, and offering sacrifices to the ancestors, we set off for the expedition. What day is it now? It is the fifth day after Wangwang in October. The Qin people worship their ancestors on the first day of the tenth month, and on the fifteenth day Wangri, they go out."
Zhang Ye said respectfully: "Old Wei must know where he's coming from!"
The elder of the Wei family was stunned when he heard this, and then said: "You can teach me! The army must know where it comes from, and its way is to use detours to be upright, and to use harm to gain. Who do you think is upright?"
Zhang He said: "We must also leave Han Valley, pass Luo, and go east along Mang Mountain."
When the elder of the Wei family heard this, he looked a little hesitant and said, "It's as you said."
Zhang Zou knew that he had stolen the limelight from the elder of the Wei family, so he quickly went back to make amends and said, "Young man, I heard about this, how dare you do something right?"
The elder of the Wei family relaxed slightly and said: "That's right. This is the most dangerous road in the world. Between Hulao and Hangu, the river runs across the north and the mountain wall runs to the south. The dangerous place can only accommodate one car. The Koreans occupied If you defend it, you will cut off the throat of the world."
Zhang Jue saw that although the elder of the Wei family looked arrogant, he seemed to have some knowledge, and wanted to get more things out of his mouth, so he asked: "Old Wei has a thorough understanding of the world's situation. The Koreans have occupied the throat of the world, and the Qin people have come out. Dare to defeat Han first?"
The pride returned to the heart of the Wei family elder, and he couldn't help showing a look of disdain on his face twice, and said: "Han often regards himself as the east road of Qin, do you know this?"
Zhang He said: "It's unknown. I hope Mr. Wei will tell you the details."
The elder of the Wei family laughed and said, "You don't know this. Han, Wei, and Zhao were the former ministers of the Jin Dynasty, and they became the "Three Jins" and swore to be brothers. This is known to this world. However, Han inherited Zheng Zheng and dominated the world. At the center of the war, we are surrounded by enemies from all directions, so we can only follow the strong. Qin is a strong country, but the Koreans would rather not follow!"
Zhang He said: "That's what Wei Lao said. Why did Han follow Qin?"
The elder of the Wei family smiled contemptuously again and said, "Without the help of the Koreans, the Qin people would rather stick out from Beimang and attack the Wei army?"
When Zhang Yu heard what the elder of the Wei family said, he was shocked and said with a trembling voice: "How did Mr. Wei know this?"
The elder of the Wei family glanced at Zhang Noi and said, "Why did the young master change his color?"
Zhang Ye tried his best to suppress the fear in his heart and said: "Young man is ignorant and cannot predict the power of heaven. He still wants to travel among the princes and get riches and honors with just one word. Now that I heard what the old man said, my heart is broken and my heart is filled with despair!" May Mr. Wei tell me how to know the power of the world." After saying this, he burst into tears.
An old man from the Wei family said: "This is not known to the young master. The Wei family has lived in Zheng for generations. Although Han replaced Zheng, there would rather be no Zheng people standing in the temple, and it is the Wei family's old one! So I know it. Although the young master is a nobleman, he has been in the world for a long time. How can he Know what’s going on in the temple!”
Zhang He said: "I hope Mr. Wei will explain the affairs of Qin and Han in detail and open the door to the little boy!"
The old man of the Wei family said: "I know this matter in detail. The Qin people have a guest minister named Hu Yang. He has many plans and knows the strategic points of the army. Now that we are out of Beimang, we have discovered his plans."
Zhang Ye asked: "What's the plan?"
A veteran of the Wei family said: "It is his plan to trap the Wei army in Beimang."
Zhang He said: "Isn't it the policy of Marquis Rang?"
A veteran of the Wei family said: "You talk about war, but you know Marquis Rang. How could you know that Marquis Rang is old, and Lord Wu'an has the most outstanding achievements in the world, and he is not someone who can lead troops easily. Now the king of Qin is in charge of the army, Hu Yang."
Zhang Noi said: "What are you planning to do with Han?"
An old man from the Wei family said: "This is beyond the knowledge of ordinary people. The Qin people's move started with the Qiu Shou military conference. The Qin people awarded titles based on military merit, and those who are in power will be able to fight. Do you know this?" Seeing Zhang Yue repeatedly Nodding, his eyes full of admiration, the elder of the Wei family said with great interest: "The Qin Dynasty will have to raise troops during its reign, but how can it be continued? Therefore, Hu Yang planned that diplomacy must be achieved first. So he secretly conspired with Han, and Ming came out of Mang. , secretly came out of He, and no one knew it, so he attacked the Wei family. Since Han agreed with the plan, he was bound to get benefits, so he paid a high price for the grain, thinking it was worth it. Do you know this? "
Zhang Yue was thinking about it in his mind and praised in his mouth: "Such a clever plan, how can a stupid boy know it?"
An old man from the Wei family said: "It's just you, even though the whole world knows it, it's hard to know: the people of Qin are short of food and are forced to use the army to sell expensive goods to save their distress. How can I know their plan?"
Zhang He said: "What deep plans are difficult to hear if you are not a high-ranking person in the temple. How can I know this if you are not an old man?"
An old man from the Wei family said: "You know what you are doing when you see the slightest thing, that's what it is. Don't anticipate Han and Qin's plans; if you take advantage of the situation, there is no harm. Those who live in temples, even though they can't take it with their own bodies, would rather not use others' hands to take it?"
Zhang Ye said: "The words of Mr. Wei made me enlightened. Who is this person living in the temple?"
The elder of the Wei family shouted: "You guys should know this! Doing your job with all your heart will have its own benefits!"
Seeing that Mr. Wei's family was not fooled, Zhang Noi could only respond: "With Mr. Wei's kindness, how dare you not try your best!"
The elder of the Wei family pointed to Zhang Noi and said: "How could Zheng Zheng in the Han Dynasty control his people? Who could control the people but the Zheng family? The Wei family controls the Zheng people. Although the temple is high, it cannot be left alone. . As long as you work hard, you will be able to join the Wei family, and you will be better than thousands of princes."
Zhang Ye fell over and bowed again and said, "I'm sorry for Mr. Wei's admiration! Those who live in temples want to make profits from it. Where does the profit come from? May Mr. Wei explain his stupidity."
The elder of the Wei family had a look of disdain on his face, but he said with great interest: "This is easy to understand. If the people of Qin want to cross Han, they must bribe the king of Han. What bribe?" The elder of the Wei family stopped talking and said Looking at Zhang Ye. Zhang Ye deliberately pretended to be confused and looked back at the Wei family elder blankly. The elder of the Wei family became more and more interested and said: "Buying grain! It's really unpredictable! The Qin people crossed the border without carrying grain and grass, and traveled day and night to Qifeng. The king of Han asked people to sell grain, and the Qin people bought it at a high price. In this way, they bribed Han. Do you know?"
Zhang He said: "Without the advice of Mr. Wei, how could a stupid boy know such a clever plan? Isn't it inappropriate for both Qin and Han to do it?"
The elder of the Wei family asked: "What's wrong?"
Zhang Noi thought for a while and said: "If the Qin people are trying to rape Jia at a low price, how can Han hold back?"
A veteran of the Wei family said: "The people of Qin have no food, and the Koreans prepare food and gather in the market. Qin Ning has no money! If the price is low and the merchants are strong, who will they trade with?"
Zhang Noi thought about it again and said: "If Han is selling for a price, Qin people would rather not suffer any loss?"
A veteran of the Wei family said: "How can Han offend the powerful Qin for a mere ten thousand gold? If Qin sends out a letter, it will be better if there is bribery; without bribery, how can Han break it?"
Zhang Noi sighed and said: "Everyone has to work hard in the military, but the king relies on him to get rich, so how can love be peaceful!"
A veteran of the Wei family said: "What a fool to say! The king's city has benefited from Qin, so why don't the people lose the market? When grain is collected from all over the country, they all pay high prices. Isn't it beneficial to the king! Why bother with the war?"
Zhang He said: "A hundred thousand men, abandoning their homes and businesses, donning strong weapons, and standing on the battlefield. The fields are barren and the wives and children are miserable. It's just child's play!"
A veteran of the Wei family said: "Wei people are strong and Han can benefit from it. Isn't that the best of both worlds?"
