"Chen Zhen?" Lord Xinling called out in surprise, "Naihe Qi entered the Han Dynasty?"
Zhang Ye said: "Han didn't say anything, Chen Zhen entered Han, and only conspired with the king. I might be Qin Dongdao, opening the way for him to advance eastward."
Lord Xinling said with a solemn face: "Guandong is united and the three Jins are one. Why can Han only kiss Qin?"
Zhang He said: "Chen Zhen is the best debater in the world. He uses his power of words to persuade the king of Han."
Lord Xinling said: "Since Han is helping Qin, how can he help me? Wei has no help from Han, so what strategy should we use to retreat from Qin?"
Zhang He said: "The king of Han was moved by his mouth and tongue, so he should move again by his mouth and tongue."
Lord Xinling asked: "Who is worthy of this responsibility?"
Zhang Noi said: "The person in charge of diplomacy in the Wei court must be Dr. Jia."
Lord Xinling said to Xu Bo'an, "Young Master Xu expressed his opinion."
Xu Bo'an, who was called by name, may have heard his father's name. He changed his usual nonchalant expression and replied very seriously: "The King of Han has been in power for twenty years, and it is beyond the power of mere words. When Chen Zhen talks about Han, he must use his words." His benefit is not limited to his words.”
Lord Xinling said: "What's the benefit?"
Xu Bo'an said: "This is not something that a humble person can know. Maybe I will know it if I ask Duke Han."
Lord Xinling asked: "What should we do to advise him?"
Sub'an said: "I heard from your Majesty that Han Bu Shen is the prince's assistant and belongs to the Prime Minister's clan. Huayang Wei is also a prince. Guarding Huayang and being close to Qin must be the king's order. If you don't apply for his assistant, why? Don't be prepared. The two clans of Wang and Xiang live in Huayang. Although Huayang is small, its plan must be big."
Zhang Ye said: "Young Master Wei's words are dangerous for me to make mistakes. If I pick him up on the road and don't complain over and over again, I will definitely have my answer."
Lord Xinling said: "After returning to the camp, I will tell you how to treat him." Then he turned to Erlu and said: "I will gain something from the journey of unsealing, and I am willing to teach me."
Lu Bo did not give in and said directly: "The Qin people invade from thousands of miles away and take food from abroad, which is a great trouble for the world. Why? If the enemy is weak and strong, the enemy will be able to leave without plundering. Today Qin uses Han as its host. , It is difficult to strengthen Qin and weaken us."
Lord Xinling said: "How can Han Nai be used by Qin? Is he being forced by Qin or is he being used by Tulia?"
Lu Bo said: "From what I can see, one is fear of being strong, and the other is seeking profit. Qin is strong and Han is weak, and cannot be defeated. If they are invincible, how can they be close to each other? The first is. Qin sells grain at high prices, and anyone with an interest in it , everyone tends to it. Second thing. Those who are in the way are those who violate the alliance's principles externally, and internally they are afraid of strong Qin and betraying its trust. Those who have Chen Zhen will go around and remove both obstacles in one fell swoop."
Lord Xinling said: "Those who use Chen Zhen have been with the princes for a long time and have risen and fallen with just one word. How can they enter Qin and be used by them?"
Mang Shen said: "Every lobbyist travels to the princes for profit. Qin will benefit Qin, and Qi will benefit Qi. How can there be others?"
Lord Xinling said: "Since the young master has said this, he must have a plan."
Mang Shen said: "According to what I have seen, the Qin people came with a light army. They are not burdened with food, fodder and baggage, so they must travel without knowing it. But if they come with heavy troops to show the situation and cut off their foreign aid, they will definitely collapse."
Lord Xinling said: "Young Master Gai said it in detail."
Mang Shen sat down, traced the ground with his finger, and used the stone as a guide, and said: "Qifeng lives in the three kingdoms of Wei, Han, and Chu. Most of the world's goods are gathered here, and most of their grains are shipped out of the beams to exchange goods from other countries. To take it. When Qin entered the Qin Dynasty, although Daliang closed the city and fortified the wall, the grain merchants still sought their own profits. Wei relied on Han to help, and Han turned over to pay for grain to finance Qin, also for profit. Today, the opposite is true. , Wei used heavy profits to keep grain in the city, and used it to make Han Han capital Qin. Wei used a large army to advance, and Han used a powerful force to come out from behind. They both had deep trenches and high fortresses, but they had no food roads and did not engage in confrontation. Qin had a light army. Ye, if the grain and crops are hard to sustain, they will have to leave. If we take advantage of its momentum and attack it, we will definitely defeat the Qin Dynasty."
Zhang He said: "Young Master said it is true. The key now is to approach the enemy with heavy troops and urge Han to back Qin."
Lord Xinling said: "Good. I hope you will make good plans and make no mistakes."
Zhang He said: "Your Majesty, when you are about to lead troops to unify, there is one reason. General Mang is the commander of Daliang Guards, and Mr. Cheyou is the general's buttocks. Mr. Mang is in the army, and he has two counselors to work around, and he will surely win." The soldiers of Daliang are horns, and there are two reasons. Those who speak of Korea must ask the king to ask Dr. Jia, and do not participate in business. They have the strength of Huayang, and they should get their way. The third thing. If the three are present, things will be done. It’s done.”
Lord Xinling looked at the two young masters. Young Masters Mang and Xu both saluted and said, "Your Majesty, you have an order. How dare you resign? You will do your best."
Lord Xinling saluted and said, "With the help of the two government agencies, why can't the matter be accomplished? When I returned to the camp when I was young, I made plans with the gentlemen and Bu Shen. I haven't seen Uncle Tang, so why are you here?"
Zhang He said: "Uncle Tang, Mr. Tang, and all the Tang Dynasties are still in the process of unsealing the seal. They are waiting for your Majesty's order to help our army secretly."
Lord Xinling said: "Sir, you have all the plans and plans are right."
Zhang He said: "It's not moral."
Lord Xinling said to Cao Bao again: "Sir, he is silent and seems to be thinking."
Cao Baodao said: "In my opinion, those who help Qin are not only Han, but also people from all over the country. They all pay grain to help Qin."
Zhang He said: "This is what Mr. Cao sees. When I enter Qifeng, I will be accompanied by the people of the Wei family. I will also be assisted by the knight Zeng Ji."
Lord Xinling's eyes lit up and he asked, "Xia Zeng Ji?"
Zhang He said: "Of course." Then he took out a sword from his arms, handed it to Lord Xinling, and continued: "Your Majesty, please take a look at this sword."
Lord Xinling took the sword, touched it with his hand, and tested the edge with his fingers, saying: "The sword is made of iron, thick and has a sharp edge, and the end is sharp. Is it an assassin?"
Zhang Ye said: "Zeng's origin is obscure, and I don't know why. It seems that he and Chen Zhen came in and out together, but not the same. The Wei family's transportation of grain was initiated by Han Xiang, but it was the Zeng family who did it. Only loyalty is the rule. I want to stay. The elders of Wei's family consulted him for details, and Zeng left his sword as a pledge to ask for Wei's release. Therefore, I got the sword."
Lord Xinling said: "A man of faith, how can he keep any promises?"
Zhang He said: "I also returned the sword, but the Zeng family did not accept it. But I took the elders of the Wei family and left."
Lord Xinling stroked his sword and said: "The swordsman is the body and the life; the old man is the humble minister. Once entrusted to him, he will take justice and forget the body... Hearing the words of the teacher, I yearn for it deeply. How can I meet him in person!" "
Zhang He said: "It's true that heroes cherish each other. Zeng has also heard from your Majesty for a long time that the day he took the sword was the day we met."
Lord Xinling was overjoyed and said, "Did Mrs. Zeng still come to get the sword?"
Zhang Ye said: "The sword is entrusted to me by my life. How can I bear to abandon it? I will definitely come and get it."
Lord Xinling asked, "Did the Zeng family join the army?"
Zhang He said: "I have informed you that the sword is with you. But this person has a heavy responsibility, and it is unusual for him to establish a dangerous hall."
Lord Xinling said: "Zeng is a righteous man. Although we are an enemy country, there is no danger in forming friendships."
Zhang Ye said: "If Mrs. Zeng hears what your Majesty has to say, she will be happy to visit you."
Lord Xinling said: "Wouldn't it be nice to have a drink and talk happily!"
Zhang He suddenly asked: "Do you know Zeng Ji? He is ignorant and ignorant, and he is as crazy as a man, which suppresses Chen Zhen's clan." Everyone shook their heads to express their ignorance. Zhang Noi said: "I must consult Han Busuo and then I can do it."
Lord Xinling said: "How can you know if you don't apply?"
Zhang Xian said: "The Prime Minister of Han is planning his affairs. If you don't complain, you will be ignorant? I just rely on you to listen to me."
Lord Xinling had a deep look on his face, he thought for a moment and said, "I will get it if I am alone!"
Lu Bo came closer and lowered his voice and said: "Your Majesty has a humble life and is waiting to raise food. I am incompetent and have not received any grain."
Lord Xinling glanced at Lu Bo and said, "I know all about Sir's work. Now that the matter has come to this, Sir must be able to teach me."
Lu Bo said: "The humble original intention was to open the seal and have food, which can be continued. Suddenly it was obtained by Qin. One will fade and the other will grow. You must have a long-term strategy, and you will get what you want."
Mang Shen said: "I thought that all the grain from the unsealing of the seal would be obtained in the four fields of Daliang. Qin opened a military market, and it was in vain for the emperor to gain it? Those who competed with each other first to bring grain to Qin were seeking to benefit it. I will double it to benefit. All their food is with me. The king of Han is the east road of Qin. He is firstly afraid of its power and secondly greedy for its benefits. If he wants to gain the benefits, he is also afraid of the power of our army. How can Han An not abandon Qin and go to Wei? After meeting him happily, he understands The crisis of grain and fodder can once again strangle the throats of the Qin people, and achieve two goals with one fell swoop."
Lord Xinling said: "If you talk about Han, then it's important. In my opinion, if we open a military market, how many days will we get food?"
Lu Bo hesitated and said: "When we open the market, we will start with three stones and two stones, and then one by two. To supply a large army, we have to do it with hundreds of vehicles. It will be difficult to supply military needs within three to five days."
Mang Shen said: "Cut off the grain road between Han and Han. If it capitalizes on Qin, seize it; if it doesn't capitalize on it, Qin will be weakened and Qin and Han will be separated."
Sub'an said: "If you want to double the price of Jia's grain, where will the money come from?"
Lord Xinling said: "Qin people don't travel with money, so how can they carry food?"
Zhang Ye said: "This shows how far-reaching his plan is. When I saw the Wei family and even the Han family, they all got rulers and tablets to write down the amount of money and food, as a proof. In the future, merchants will pay according to the price."
Lord Xinling said: "What should the merchants pay? Qin people buy grain, but what about the merchants?"
Zhang Ye said: "It's hard to understand. As far as I know, the Wei family and even Huayang have all obtained the rulers and tablets. There is no truth in it, but everyone is very happy with it. I am puzzled and want to get it from the Wei family. But it was blocked by the Zeng family. If you don't ask for advice, you will get it."
Lord Xinling said: "What Fang Qi did when he was young, how could he not do this!"
Lu Bo said: "I am among the merchants, and if I keep my word, I can pledge it as a pledge if I get a piece of it. But Qin is a country that values agriculture and neglects business, so what can I do?"
Lord Xinling said: "With Gu's trust, can he be trusted among merchants?"
Lu Bo said: "If I am doing business, your words will be worth a thousand pieces of gold."
Lord Xinling asked: "What do others mean?"
Lu Bo said: "Do you believe that your Majesty wants to imitate Qin?"
Lord Xinling said: "How is Gu Zhixin better than Qin? Can I get food if I write a letter with my own hand?"
Everyone fell silent for a moment, knowing that it would be extremely difficult to accomplish this in a short period of time. Credit cannot be used immediately when needed, it must be accumulated in normal times. Although Lord Xinling is famous all over the world and is loyal and loyal, he is limited to scholars, knights, and strangers, and has no contacts in the business world. It takes a lot of effort to get businessmen to recognize Lord Xinling's credibility, even if they just believe that Lord Xinling will not bully others. It can also be seen from this that the Qin people's coming out was different from the past. They had made a lot of preparations in advance, but the Wei government knew nothing about it.
After a moment of silence, Lu Bo took the lead to break the silence and said: "I have a good reputation in business, and Lu's business is spread all over the world. I am willing to do my best to serve the emperor."
Xu Bo'an also followed suit and said: "The Xu family has also been in business, and can be regarded as a mediocre king."
Zhang Jue changed his perspective and said: "Our army's territory is Kaifeng in the east, which was invaded by Qin; Huayang in the west, owned by Han; Daliang in the north, and Huaichu in the south, all of which are beyond the reach of merchants. . Although the Lu and Xu families have experience in business, what can they do?"
