This time Xu Jia did not drive Subo'an out of the house again, but left him waiting at the door, and made Han Bu'an the chief guest. Han Bushen said goodbye again and again, but refused and forced him to sit down.
In Cangcheng, there was nothing: the jujube water in a can in the early morning had already bottomed out. Xu Bo'an looked for Xinlingjun's guests again, but they were nowhere to be found. He only used this can to contain old jujubes and soaked them in water. When Han Bushen came, Subo'an scooped out a cup of the soaked jujube water and served it to him. After everyone drank, Sub'an poured another cup, placed it in front of the table, and retreated to the door.
Xu Jia bowed deeply and said straight to the point: "I have been ordered by the king to envoy the Republic of Korea. Dare you ask me, sir, to help me! Han and Wei are brothers. They help each other in emergencies and save each other in difficulties. This is righteousness. Now Wei is under Qin's rule. Difficult, deeply look to Han for help, just like looking for Ni when drought, and looking for food when hungry. I obey the king's orders and dare not make any mistakes. I hope you will teach me where to enter, what to say, and what benefits to use to obtain Korean aid. ?”
Han Bushen said: "What the doctor said is that you are relying on trees to seek fish. Although I am Han's family, my blood relationship is far away. Now I entrust you to the nobles, but I hope to prolong my life. The affairs of the temple have not been heard for a long time; the policies of the country have not been heard for a long time. It’s planned.”
Xu Jia said: "Sir, what you say is that you reject people thousands of miles away. What you, sir, the Korean aristocrats hear about day and night is nothing more than state affairs, and what you practice day and night is nothing more than planning. Now there is a rift between the brothers Wei and Han. Why would you rather make peace with each other without saying a word?"
Han Bushen said: "I have been ordered by the Lord to come to Huayang, and I have tried my best to repay my kindness with all my foolish loyalty. Things are helpless, and I have encountered many ups and downs. What can I say?"
Xu Jia said: "What did you say, Mr. Qin, to support the Qin government? The people of Qin are tigers and wolves. They raise tigers on their side and hope that there will be no patients in the house. It is unheard of. Although the king of Han is hard to explain, he must understand the truth. Is there hope in sir, sir, would you rather have no ambition? Huayang Wei, a prince, would rather have the Han ancestral temple suffer and benefit from it! This Huayang depends on sir. I hope sir will think deeply about it."
Han Bushen pondered for a moment and said: "I have never heard of the doctor's opinion. I hope the doctor will spread the word."
Xu Jia said: "It is profitable to speak in business, and it is true to speak of righteousness in the court. Today, Qin's market is in Wei, and its purchase is in Han, so it is sold to the court at a profit. How can it be profitable to get grain for sixty qian in stone?" This is why righteousness is seen in business. Isn't it contrary to this? If the government is unjust, the foundation will be shaken, and if the business is unprofitable, it will not be long. This is dangerous. Sir, do not abandon righteousness for profit, and follow the right path with Huayang. This is what you hope for. . Sir, he has no words to say.”
Han Bushen said: "It is senseless to defend the city after losing it. What else can you say if you just live in vain!"
Xu Jia said: "No. The loss of a city to Qin is a loss of the city. Wei and Han are brothers. It is not appropriate for the elder brother to be in trouble and the younger brother to help him! If the Qin people leave and the city returns to Han, how can the city guard be lost?" "
Han Bushen said: "Although I say so, there are unforeseen circumstances. It is not appropriate for Qin to leave and Wei to stay!"
Xu Jia smiled and said: "Sir, what you said is wrong. Lord Xinling's faith is spread throughout the world. He must do what he says, and he will be worth a thousand pieces of gold. Since he has kept his word, he will return to work after everything is done, so there is no doubt! Sir, you have no worries. Hua. The sun is still in Han, and sir is still in charge of the city. I hope you will make a plan."
Han Bushen said: "This city is in the hands of Lord Xinling, what can I say?"
Xu Jia said: "Although Mr. Xinling has a hundred thousand men, it is still difficult to predict if he can borrow one from the city. Huayang Wei only has a thousand men, and Mr. Xiang said he can defend it alone. Why? I have deep hope for you, Mr. Xu. That’s what I was taught.”
Han Bushen thought for a moment and said: "In the art of war, I don't want to fight. Even if I draw the ground and defend it, the enemy will not be able to fight me. If the enemy can't fight me, just follow his own path. When Huayang is facing the underworld, the city is high and the soldiers are few. The city is high and the soldiers are small." It is difficult to attack, and there will be no danger if there are few soldiers. Therefore, although Qin passes by, it does not attack, so it is good to use this. Qin set up military cities, and my city sells grain. Qin gets its resources, and I get its benefits. Therefore, even if it draws the land and defends it, But it is as solid as gold. Now it is the residence of Wei, with one hundred thousand soldiers. The front points to open the seal. Qin loses its advantage and suffers its harm. It has to attack, and it will be destroyed if it attacks. If the country is destroyed, the army will be destroyed, and safety will be turned into danger. Here it is Huh!"
Everyone in the room fell silent for a moment as they were not prepared for Han Bushen to suddenly make such a big statement. Han Bushen seemed to be very proud of his eloquence. Seeing no one in the audience responded, he looked around and added: "This is as solid as gold, but it can easily be in danger. This is what Lord Xinling did. What can I say?"
Xu Jia worshiped and said: "Sir, you have a great opinion and you have a clear heart. I will learn from it. However, Wei inherited the difficulties of Qin, and Han took advantage of it. What is the meaning of the brothers? Lord Xinling inherited the alliance between Wei and Han brothers, and saw that Huayang was in danger. , do not avoid danger, stand firm and protect it with wings. I really don’t want Han to benefit Qin and betray the righteousness of brothers."
When Han Bushen heard this, he was very embarrassed. He blushed and argued: "Huayang Lieutenant took advantage of his market and took it in a right way. How can we regard it as betraying the alliance and abandoning righteousness!"
After hearing this, Mr. Zhongyue shouted: "If you know that Huayang is the capital of Qin, it is not like us. Even the soldiers of Wei eat meat and drink blood! I hope you won't say anything more!"
Xu Jia advised: "Sir, please calm down. If I don't say this, I will have no choice... I would like to hear about it, sir..." After saying this, he looked at Han Bushen with expectant eyes.
Han Bushen blinked again and said: "On the day of last year, Chen Zhen arrived at Han. Shang sent Qin out of Xiaoshan, and Han was the host. Han had an alliance with Jin, and it was difficult to accept it. Chen Zhen planned to use market rice to help it, and Qin Taking advantage of it, Han took advantage of it and gained two things with one fell swoop. The king of Han responded and sent his son to Huayang as a lieutenant to take charge of his affairs. However, the matter involved secrets, and the Huayang lieutenant was worried about it, so he took care of it as a minister. .”
Although Zhang Zhuo had already said when he came back that Chen Zhen had secretly visited South Korea and wanted to win an alliance with South Korea in Qin, there were many speculations and they were still half-believed. Now that it came out of Han Bushen's mouth, everyone was still shocked. Xu Jiaqiang smiled and said: "Sir, it is true that you can't help yourself, but you are ordered by the King of Han. The King of Han ordered you to invest in Qin how much. How much food can Huayang have in one city? Why should you let Qin Dongdao do it?"
As soon as the conversation started, Han Bushen poured out like water from a mountain: "Xiang Han called me and said it personally, although you are the prime minister, you are actually a lieutenant. Huayang Lieutenant is also a prince. Although he is noble, he acts Perverse. However, all the disciples have their duties, but it is difficult for this son to be granted a title without merit. Therefore, the king appoints him as Huayang, and really wants him to be granted a title for his meritorious service. You can accomplish it!"
Xu Jia praised: "How can a trivial person be so loyal and righteous as this?"
Han Bushen gave a slight salute to show his friendship, and continued: "When I arrived in Huayang, I immediately started planning this matter. I worked day and night and did not dare to take a break. I think about it, a hundred thousand Qin troops will eclipse a thousand stones a day, and if they sell rice, As for the capital, it would take more than 100,000 dan to do it. Only by gathering the food from the four villages in the city can we get 60,000 to 70,000 dan. When the chariots are opened, the number of rides is twenty-five, but it cannot be done without a thousand rides. Huayang is a small town. The oxen, carriages, and horses are all in disarray, so what can I do?"
Zhang He suddenly asked: "How much food does Huayang usually accumulate?"
Han Bushen said: "We usually have a thousand soldiers, but we only have thirty or forty thousand dan per year. We don't have enough expenses."
Zhang Zhuo said: "I am transporting grain to Qin, but what about Huayang? Isn't it dangerous if something happens to me?"
Han Bushen said: "I have been ordered, but to gain Qin's advantage is not to defend the city. The Prime Minister of Han has said that as long as the Qin army has no complaints, it will gain its merits."
Mr. Zhongyue said: "The chariots assembled in Huayang cannot carry more than a hundred vehicles a day, and the grain they carry cannot be enough for Qin to eat in one day. When will a hundred thousand stones be successful? Will Qin have no complaints?"
Han Bushen said: "This is what worries me sincerely."
Mr. Zhongyue stared at Han Bushen and said, "What is Prime Minister Han's plan?"
Han Bushen sighed and said: "Prime Minister Han only pays for things with things, nothing else!"
Mr. Zhongyue said: "Sir, you are the Prime Minister of Huayang. Once you are assigned to do your job, you must have a plan!"
Han Bushen shook his head and sighed: "But if you try your best, there is no plan..."
Mr. Zhongyue said: "Otherwise. How dare the King of Han not to seek for his son?"
Han Bushen blushed and said: "...The matter is urgent, but we can lead the Qin people to take care of themselves."
Mr. Zhongyue said: "Introducing the Qin people to take it for themselves? Isn't it just buying the city? What's wrong with Huayang Wei?"
Han Bushen said: "Since the young master entered the city, I will do my best, so Huayang Wei and I will be able to escape."
The three people sitting there shook their heads secretly and sighed. Xu Jia said: "This is a very appropriate statement. When the young master enters the city, he will guard the city on behalf of Huayang Wei, and exempt Huayang from capitalizing on Qin. Both of these things will be avoided, and Huayang Wei will get the credit without any effort. - Only his Han If we have good relations with Wei, we can conspire to strengthen Qin and then go on to do so. Otherwise, Wei Huayang will lose the city and you will lose our friendship. Two merits equal two crimes."
When Han Bushen heard this, his whole body felt hot and sweat broke out on his forehead. He wiped it with his sleeve and did not dare to speak.
Mr. Zhong Yue secretly admired that Xu Jia was able to break Han Bu Shen's defenses with just a few words. He had a pleasant face, respectful words, and no aggressive attitude. He was truly a talented eloquent. He looked at Zhang Ye and added a fire, saying: "Dr. Jia is sending an envoy to Han, and he wants Han and Wei to make peace and conspire to strengthen the Qin Dynasty. I deeply hope that Mr. Yu will help him. Once Han and Wei come back, The friendship of the alliance brothers, secondly, wipes out the shame of the strong Qin and the weak Jin, and thirdly, eliminates the disaster of Huayang, which has achieved great success. Isn't it wonderful!"
Han Bu Shen whispered: "The King of Han followed Chen Zhen's plan and secretly cooperated with Qin. Now that I have defeated him, how can I have any merit? It is really a serious crime!"
Zhang He said: "Sir, do you want to avoid the crime of connecting with the Qin Dynasty, and do you want to defeat the Qin Dynasty? Huayang is relatively small, with little food and poor vehicles. You cannot escape the crime of connecting with the Qin Dynasty. How can the Huayang Wei expect that sir?" That's right! If the young master enters Huayang, the sins of Huayang will be averted; Han and Wei will unite, and Qin will be strong and broken, and you will achieve unparalleled achievements."
Xu Jia said: "Sir, if you want to resist the strong Qin, who can help you? How can Chen Zhen speak to the king of Han, and why does the prime minister of Han trust Huayang?"
This flood of questions was overwhelming, and Han Bushen composed himself and said: "The prince is young and has little experience, so he is willing to fight against Qin. The king of Han has been in danger for a long time and knows that Qin is strong and difficult to defeat, so he can only make peace with it." Chen Zhen It happened at the right time and he was in the right position, so he succeeded. Both the Prime Minister and the generals knew that the world was difficult, so they cooperated. The other ministers were undecided and undecided about war and peace, so it was difficult to make plans."
Xu Jia said: "The good relationship between Han and Wei lasted for more than one lifetime. Once the king of Han betrays it, will he feel no shame?"
Han Bushen said: "The good relationship between Han and Wei is righteous; the good relationship between Han and Qin is beneficial. Although Han has the help of the three Jins, he is unable to resist Qin, so why not seek peace with Qin?"
Zhang He said: "How can we accept that the three Jins are defeated by Qin without fighting?"
Han Bushen said: "This is easy to know. When the king of Han was first established, after the battle of Yique, Han and Wei were discouraged and allowed Qin to take advantage of it. If Leyi had not attacked Qi, it would have been inevitable. Twenty years ago, Han will still be a violent kite, while Wei The generals were not as good as Gongsun Xi, and they had strong soldiers and soldiers, but they all lost their old swords, halberds and bows. However, Qin attacked the capital of Chu and burned its mausoleums. The king of Chu looked eastward in embarrassment. Who among the countries in the Kwantung region was not disappointed. It is clear that the strong and the weak are invincible!"
