After listening to Zhang Ye's introduction to Chen Si, Lord Xinling naturally understood it and saluted: "Brother Chen, you have worked hard! There are many things in the camp, and everything is not done well. I hope you will not be guilty!"
Chen Si quickly raised his hands and said: "How dare you! The young master humiliated and killed a villain! Lords, please take note!" Chen Si's behavior was neither humble nor overbearing, which was in line with etiquette. He also took the initiative to change the topic, which was consistent with his identity. This calmness made Lord Xinling think highly of him.
Following the courtesy of Mr. Che You and Chen Si, Mr. Xinling entered the tent, followed by Daliang Wei and Jin Bi. Among Mr. Xinling's retainers, only Mr. Zhang Yue and Mr. Zhong Yue were the only ones. The other retainers, including Mr. Guo, stayed behind. Outside the account. Xiaojian also wanted to stay outside the tent, but Lord Xinling stopped him and said, "Mr. Xiao and Mr. Che are colleagues, and there are military officers who want to ask you for advice. I would like you to sit with me." Xiaojian had no choice but to follow him into the tent.
The curtain is not big, it is made of linen temporarily in the camp, and is only for Mr. Cheyou to stay at night. Six more people came in and filled the curtain. Mr. Cheyou was determined not to sit on the east side of the road, but must sit at the tent entrance. Jin Bi said: "Military etiquette does not apply to the country, and national etiquette does not apply to the army. Military etiquette must be observed in the camp. The young master is the general, and he is in the middle. Civil and military personnel are on both sides."
Jin Bi's words were echoed by everyone. Mr. Xinling sat down facing the tent, with all the guests on his left, including Mr. Cheyou. As Jin Bi's entourage, Xiao Jian sat on the right side with Daliang Wei and Jin Bi. He wanted to sit in the last seat on the right side of the car, but all the diners refused. They all said that Mr. Che would be the first seat today and pushed him to the front of Lord Xinling. Chen Si also entered the tent, but sat at the entrance.
When everyone sat down, Lord Xinling said to Mr. Cheyou: "Unlock the strategic military location. Sir, if you go deep into the tiger's den, you will surely be able to teach me."
Mr. Cheyou calmed down, pondered for a moment, and said: "When my lord heard about the unsealing order and the captain fell into unsealing, he immediately ordered Wei Shu to design a rescue plan. Wei Shu discussed with his friends and knew that the second prince was trapped in the female house, so he took the food Ship, sneak into Unsealing, and meet the Second Duke..."
Mr. Zhongyue suddenly asked: "When Qifeng first fell, who knew that the second prince was in the daughter's house?"
Mr. Cheyou replied: "We have friends in Shifang, so we know about it." Seeing that Mr. Cheyou was unwilling to say anything, Mr. Zhongyue slightly held his hand and stopped talking.
Mr. Cheyou continued: "The humble concubine met the two gentlemen and said that powerful enemies have entered the country. The family and country are in danger, and it is the time for the country to employ people. The head of the family saw Si Daliang City Guards and asked the two gentlemen to help him. When the two gentlemen heard about it, they all thought of the family and the country. For the most important thing, we don’t care about our own advancement or retreat, we are all willing to enter the dangerous city and face the national crisis together. We were planning a plan to escape from the crisis, when the young master’s army came, and God helped us, and we succeeded!"
Mr. Che You's introduction was concise and to the point. He said everything Zhang Zhuo and others knew. He didn't mention a single word of the inside story. It was watertight. Mr. Xinling felt a little unhappy, but he couldn't say anything. He could only say: "Mr. Entering the tiger's den and rescuing the two princes will benefit the country, which is a great achievement."
Mr. Che You said: "Young Master is so flattering that a humble concubine would not dare to accept it. A humble concubine entered Qifeng not alone, but thanks to the efforts of Brother Chen and his friend Zhang Lu."
Seeing Mr. Che You take the initiative to mention these two people, Lord Xinling raised his eyebrows with interest and said, "What merits and virtues do these two people have?"
Mr. Cheyou said: "But when it comes to the temple, I will consult Zhang Lu; when it comes to the market, I will leave it to Brother Chen. A humble man can succeed with his hands."
Lord Xinling said: "Brother Chen, I have seen him, and he is indeed a young hero. Who is Zhang Qing, and why is he here now?"
Mr. Cheyou said: "Zhang Lu has great talents, but he has not met many of them and is hidden in the countryside. It is really a pity."
Lord Xinling said: "Since you have accomplished such a great feat, why not draw it out and think of it as a promotion?"
Mr. Cheyou said: "It's not what I want, so I can't ask for it."
Lord Xinling sighed: "How many wise men are there in our Wei Dynasty? They can only be used if they are not available! But if they are useful, I would like to worship you without restraint."
Mr. Che You said: "We are humble and sincere!"
The man in the banquet opposite asked while playing his flute: "Sir, I have to unblock you. May I ask how the military situation is?"
Mr. Che You was almost forced into a corner by Lord Xinling's questioning of Zhang Lu. He changed the subject when he saw Xiao Jian, feeling grateful. He straightened his posture, cupped his hands and said: "Kaifeng is bounded by a ditch, with the city wall in the east and the market square in the west. When the Qin people entered Qifeng, their troops gathered in the east and set up camps along the city. But patrol posts were left in the west square. Wherever the avenues are, They all built forts ten miles away and used strong bows and crossbows to defend themselves. Sentries and cavalry were sent out thirty miles away."
Xiao Jian asked: "How is the camp?"
Mr. Cheyou said: "Looking across the river, it is so endless that I never knew how many places there are."
Xiao Jian asked: "How is it guarded?"
Mr. Cheyou said: "Each road is set up with forts ten miles away, that's for sure! The camp on the east side of the river is as far as the eye can see, and the flags block out the sun. Sentries are set up at the bridgehead and along the river, and no one can pass without any reason."
Zhang Noi said: "Mr. Che mostly sits in his house and seldom travels. Brother Chen knows the situation of unsealing in detail."
Chen Si didn't want anyone to mention him, so he hurriedly moved inward from the opening of the account. Mr. Cheyou said: "Mr. Xiao and others are my colleagues. Whenever you ask questions, they will give you the truth." Chen Si responded.
Xiao Jian asked: "But do you know where the Qin people are?"
Xiao Jian asked Mr. Che You about unsealing the military situation. His intention was to change the topic and avoid Mr. Che You's embarrassment, so he kept talking to him. It was Chen Si's turn to ask questions without any preconditions, and to find out useful materials from Chen Si's mouth.
Chen Si pondered for a moment and said: "It's too complicated to say, but I wish I could get some silk to make it clear."
Chen Si's unexpected answer stunned everyone in the tent. Then Mr. Zhongyue stood up, bowed to Chen Si and said, "I am willing to serve Brother Chen!" He took Chen Si out of the tent, found Mr. Guo, and said, "Chen Si Brother, if you have a detailed picture of the opening of the Qin camp, you can go to the Zhongying camp and draw it on silk." Mr. Guo was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed to Chen Siyi and took him to the Zhongying camp. Zhong Yue returned to the tent and said, "I finished the drawing when I was young. Please refer to it for details." He returned to his seat and sat down.
Zhang He said: "The Qin people set up a military market in Qifeng to buy grain and fodder from all directions, thinking it would last forever. General Mang is in charge of the defense of Daliang City, what plan will he use to defeat it?"
The person on the right side of the car was unexpectedly asked a sharp question again, and he said perfunctorily: "This is a major matter for the family and the country, which is beyond the reach of a humble common man."
Zhang Ye said: "Otherwise, if the general has doubts, he should consult the gentleman. The gentleman would rather have no plan!"
Mr. Cheyou was silent for a moment and said: "We are a humble man and we don't have any plans."
Zhang He said: "Daliang is where the ancestral temple is, so it cannot be lost. Although Mr. Che is in the Mang Mansion, in this national crisis, it is appropriate to work together with the princes and cannot have two minds."
After being told so clearly by Zhang Ye, Mr. Che You couldn't find any excuse to shirk it, so he secretly glanced at Xiao Jian, who was sitting upright and not looking this way. Mr. Cheyou could only say: "The Qin people set up a military market in the place where we are close. It is a real trouble for our inner circle, so we have to attack it in various ways. From the perspective of a humble commoner, there are only a few strategies: attack it with a large army, intercept it with a partial army, Use scattered troops to disturb them. If a large army approaches, the king and princes will come out. This is unnatural! If the kings and princes approach and open the seal, the market will not be completed, and the Qin people will retreat. If they use partial troops to intercept them, they will be defeated by three or five. There are hundreds of troops in each group, and they are sent out to intercept the grain. In three to five days, there will be no one left in the countryside to be able to survive. Those who disturb the scattered troops will go out with strong ones, perhaps dozens, or more than a hundred, and go straight to Qifeng, or kill Qin. If someone robs the enemy of grain and fodder, sets fire to it, or disturbs them, the enemy will be disturbed, and the market will be dispersed."
Zhang Ye said: "In your opinion, sir, how many days will each of them take?"
Mr. Che You thought about it for a moment and said: "The Qin people came from afar and depended on their neighbors for food and fodder. But if they were deprived of food and fodder, they would collapse within a few days."
Zhang Ye said: "That's what you think, sir. Since you have led a large army, you are willing to serve as a barrier for the Liang Dynasty and the general's minions. You will reward the three armies and go straight to the Qin camp. I only hope that the general will be your backing, but the food and fodder will not be exhausted, and the enemy will be destroyed." Qin Biye."
Mr. Cheyou's heart trembled, his face looked a little hesitant, but he didn't know how to respond. Jin Bi then said: "We have agreed with your Majesty that the army will go straight out of Huayang. The other armies will occupy Nanguan and act as the horns. They will advance one by one. They will be invincible first and then wait until Qin can win. Sir, when you see the general, you will be good at it. It is stated that we must make the people inside and outside Daliang cooperate to attack the Qin army."
Mr. Cheyou was grateful that Jin Ji was able to get rid of his troubles. He immediately saluted at the table and said: "I am a humble man, but when I see my lord, I will tell you the virtues of the king and the policies of the great officials, which will surely bring harmony to the inside and outside."
Seeing Jin Bi helping Mr. Che You at the critical moment, Lord Xinling felt a little unhappy, but his expression remained unchanged and said: "Although the doctor's plan has been determined, the general's plan has not yet been determined. I don't know what the general will do, but I can make Gu and Liang Lieutenants and officials will help him. Since the general has been ordered by the king to guard Daliang City, he will listen to it even though he is alone. I am willing to hear the general's order!"
Mr. Che You was a little flustered: when he was in Daliang, Mangmao only deployed the defense of Daliang, and the harassment work outside the city was handed over to Mr. Liang Wei; he didn't know that the Qin army was setting up a military city in Qifeng, and he was not ready for a long-term fight with the Qin army. There is no way to fight; as for the army controlled by Lord Xinling, the plan is to prepare to fight with the Qin people. But how could such a strategy be made public? He secretly looked at Daliang Wei, Jin Bi and Xiao Jian in turn. None of the three gave any hint. Jin Bi, who had just rescued him, also lowered his head and remained silent. Mr. Che You could only hesitate and said: "When we are out of the city, my lord has not yet made a plan...but I ordered the soldiers and civilians to prepare their weapons and go to the city in turn..." He glanced at Daliang Wei again and felt that he had to talk about Mr. Liang Wei's affairs. , then further said: "The eldest son of the Mang family and the young master Liang Wei have left the city, each bringing in civilian troops and soldiers as foreign aid!"
As a result, as soon as these words came out, the tent immediately became unstable. Almost everyone, including Xiao Jian, knelt down and stood up. Mr. Che You was so shocked that he also knelt down and held his hands in front of his chest, deeply regretting his mistake.
Lieutenant Daliang said with a trembling voice: "Where is Quanzi... today? What is the leader? Who is the counselor?..."
Mr. Cheyou lowered his head and said: "When the young master left the city, he had already left Daliang. I really don't know what happened. ... I heard that Mr. Wei had killed him."
Captain Daliang asked: "Where is his army? Where is Mang Dazi's army?"
Mr. Che You lowered his head and said, "I don't know, I am a common man."
Xiao Jian said: "Don't worry, Lieutenant Daliang. Most of the civilian troops in the west of the city are gathered in the confines. If Mang's eldest son is in charge of the civilian army, he will know where they are and can pass on the news."
Lieutenant Daliang lost his voice and said: "I am old and only have a son. I am weak and sick. How can I bear the burden of military service? I am already confused. I am afraid that I will miss important things for you. I am willing to resign!"
Lord Xinling said: "Don't worry, Lieutenant Daliang. When the young master goes out of the city, he will be guarded by his family members. He will be able to behave in a mature and prudent manner. I forgive him for nothing else. Mr. Mang is now in the camp. You can ask him to go to the confinement with Mr. Che You to explore. We will definitely find it." Find out the truth and then make a plan.”
