Han Bu Shen showed off his rhetoric again and spoke so eloquently that everyone in the audience changed their expressions.
The war twenty years ago made Bai Qi known as the "God of Killing", but it was an eternal pain in the hearts of Han, Wei and even the three Jin Dynasties. The 240,000 elite troops could not be replenished in a short time. The two countries fell into a situation where they were at the mercy of Qin. In a few years, Wei first cut off the east of Hedong and then cut off Hanoi. If Yan had not launched a war to destroy Qi and Le Yi personally made peace, Qin would not have known how many cities it would have occupied. Four years ago, Bai Qi led the Qin army into Chu, and the following year directly attacked Ying, the capital of Chu. The king of Chu had to move to Chen - just two hundred and fifty miles south of Daliang. I thought that after Qin conquered Chu, it would be quiet for a while, but as soon as the king of Wei came to the throne, Bai Qi brought the Qin army here last year. This year, the Qin army went directly to Daliang City.
Lord Xinling and the new King of Wei had no personal experience of what happened twenty years ago. They only saw courtiers coming in and out with serious expressions. Their father, who had just ascended the throne, was crying all day long and had no good words for anyone. The two brothers, as well as the concubines, , all cautious, not daring to breathe. At that time, the young Lord Xinling was very confused: What does it feel like to not be able to win? After all, as a prince, he had no experience of being bullied and suppressed.
Zhang Yue and Mr. Zhong Yue's understanding of the Battle of Yique was limited to hearsay, and they had no idea of its subsequent impact. After all, they were still young at that time and were still quite far away from these events. Later, although I heard some things from people who had experienced it, I didn't have a clear idea. Now when I hear Han Bushen describe the war in such a way, I have a strange feeling: Could it be that the Qin army is not a human but a god? Even if Bai Qi is the God of War, soldiers with weapons must fight with swords and guns! The Han general Bao Yuan was frightened by the Qin people, and the Wei general Mang Mao was not necessarily much better. In fact, Mang Mao was recommended by the King of Qin. He must know everything about the Battle of Yique. In this situation, how should they deal with it so that Lord Xinling can achieve unparalleled military exploits?
Xu Jia was also shocked by Han Bushen's words. Although he had not personally experienced it, he had seen heads rolling down the mountain and was frightened for a long time. But after all, he is also a person who has experienced the world. From Han Bushen's words, he understood the deep-down fear of the entire Han court towards the Qin army: The veteran has been violent for twenty years and has not yet come out of the shadow of failure; King Han Still living in fear - the King of Han and King Xianzhao of Wei came to the throne in the same year, and during the Battle of Yique, the King of Han had only been on the throne for two years; although the Prime Minister of Han had not experienced war, he probably avoided it; only with today's Wei Dynasty The prince, who is about the same age as Lord Xinling, has the same spirit as a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. Chen Zhen said to Han, but it just happened to meet him and he liked him. "It's no wonder that Wei repeatedly made Han push troops to miss the point. It turns out that King Han had long planned to betray the alliance and Qin." Xu Jia felt that his trip to the military camp was worthwhile, and the meeting with Han Bushen was worthwhile. If it hadn't been for Han Bushen's introduction , he really couldn't understand Han Ting's fear of the Qin army. But he also had some worries about his mission: How can he persuade the King of Han to send troops? How can we muster the courage to storm the kite? Also, will occupying Huayang be beneficial or harmful to the mission, and how to use it? It seems that the original plan to use alliance to persecute me has no hope of success. I have to break through from other places...
There was silence in the room for a while, before Xu Jiacai bowed in his seat and said, "Sir, I will benefit a lot from your golden words." Han Bushen quickly returned the greeting, saying "How dare you". Xu Jia said: "Xinling is temporarily borrowed from Huayang and has no intention of annexing it. However, the food in the city was originally set up to defend the enemy. Now the Wei army is short of food, so I will temporarily borrow a few stones as capital. I will thank you later!"
Han Bushen said: "I will report to my king what the doctor wants. Huayang is now in charge of the Wei army. Once the grain is supplied, the king of Wei and the king of Han will discuss it. It is not something that I can discuss."
Xu Jia naturally knew that Han Bushen was shirking responsibility, but he didn't point it out and said, "That's what you said, sir." Then they rambled about for another hour, and got a lot out of Han Bushen's words. The inside story of Han Ting was very rewarding. Han Bushen was very proud of his ability to argue, and when he said goodbye, he felt that he had not finished his words.
Zhang and Yuan sent Han Bushen back to the mansion, and returned to Huayang Wei Mansion to inform Lord Xinling about the meeting between Xu Jia and Han Bushen. Lord Xinling also treated Han Ting, especially Bao Yuan, and fell into despair after the defeat. , I feel very incomprehensible: shouldn’t I think about avenging shame after failure? Why are you so cowardly?
Zhang Ye said: "If what Bu Shen said about Han Ting's fear of war is true, then the Korean army can only be used as reinforcement but cannot rely on it."
Mr. Zhong Yue also said: "Although General Mang has not experienced any battle, he was recommended by the King of Qin after the war. It is also worrying about his fighting spirit."
Lord Xinling said: "Why do you teach me, sir?"
Zhang He said: "Two of the three armies have been eliminated. Our army is alone, with little food and weak soldiers. Its situation is in danger."
Lord Xinling said: "In the battle of Yique, I was very young when I was alone, and I was ignorant of the matter. However, the shame and pain of the former king are deeply engraved in my heart. Now that I am outnumbered, I would like to borrow one from the city and fight with courage. Please help me. Help me, sir!"
Zhang He said: "The Qin army is attacking me with all its strength, so I will be unable to reach it. Although the morale of Zheng Guo and Daliang is worrying, they will not lose their support."
Mr. Zhongyue said: "I am particularly afraid of Ji Sun's worries, not in Zhuan Yu, but within Xiao Qiang."
Lord Xinling asked, "What do you mean, sir?"
Mr. Zhongyue said: "Your Majesty commanded a large army, came to the gate of the country, made great achievements, and gained a great reputation. Do you have no worries in the palace?"
Lord Xinling said: "Sir, don't worry about it. Although Wuji is stubborn, he still knows how to serve the country. He only cares about his family, country and temple, even if he dies!"
Mr. Zhongyue said: "Although, it must not be ignored."
Lord Xinling said: "Sir, if you plan to defeat Qin, the rest will do it alone."
We talked about other things, and it was already past noon. Lord Xinling took Mr. Zhongyue to the back house, knocked on the door, and asked to see Captain Huayang. The boy who opened the door recognizes Lord Xinling. Please come to the door and go in to report. After a while, Lieutenant Huayang ran over with a big belly and bowed to the back hall. Lord Xinling informed Dr. Xu Jia that he was on a mission to South Korea and dared to ask Captain Huayang to speak with him. Captain Huayang scratched his head a little, and Lord Xinling said, "Doctor Jia has pheasants, geese and other things with him, please don't disturb him!" Only then did Captain Huayang's eyes light up and he agreed to go. Knowing that Xu Jia lived in Cangcheng, Wei Huayang firmly refused to go around the front door and pulled the two of them straight through the backyard, then came out the back door, which was directly opposite the Cangcheng gate.
As usual, Mr. Xu and his son walked ten steps away to greet him, bowed to him, entered the room, and sat down separately as guest and host. Zaoshui in front of the banquet had already asked his supervisor to replace it with a new one. Sub'an paid homage to Zaoshui and then retreated to the door.
Unlike Han Bushen who barely touched the jujube water in the morning, Huayang Wei showed a strong interest in the jujube water. He scooped a cup and placed it in front of the table, taking a sip from time to time. Xu Jia had to pretend not to see it. Seeing that the situation was not good, Sub'an quickly found a few more lamps, scooped one out for each person and placed it in front of their respective tables.
Everyone was chatting for a while. Xu Jia noticed that Captain Huayang had just finished drinking a cup of jujube water and was about to scoop another cup for himself. He said in a casual tone: "The Qin people entered Qifeng and were only a hundred miles away from Huayang. We can arrive in the morning and evening. In the border town of Huayang, there are no more than a thousand soldiers, but the young master is sitting as calm as a mountain. It can be said that he has the style of a general, and he will become a great weapon in the future."
Lieutenant Huayang said while ladling jujube water: "What a moral thing! The people of Qin rely on me to provide food and fodder, so why attack them! Although Huayang is small, it is as peaceful as Mount Tai."
Xu Jia said: "Having said that, Qin Ning won't attack if the food supply is no longer available?"
Huayang Wei said: "It doesn't matter. First, there is Wushen's plan for the transportation of grain and fodder. It was recommended by the Prime Minister of Han, so it must be incompetent; secondly, if Chen Zhen is in the court and Qin attacks Huayang, Chen Zhen will definitely blame him. "Thirdly, when Qin entered Qifeng, it had no food and fodder, so it relied entirely on Han. If it attacked Huayang, it would also be an attack on Han. The king of Han would not marry him, and the Qin army would be defeated."
Xu Jia said: "Young master can understand the king's words and stick to them accurately. This is truly a gift from heaven."
Wei Huayang said proudly: "Before departure, the prince summoned me and gave me my three or five instructions. How can I forget them!"
Xu Jia said: "That's why the king entrusts the young master with important tasks. It's time for the young master to flourish!"
Huayang Wei said: "The king said that if Huayang's deeds come true, he will be crowned the king. After brother Wuji was crowned the king, he recruited talents from all over the world and treated them with loyalty. Although my younger brother is less capable, I admire him with my heart. When I was young, I still wanted to be the king. Ask Brother Wuji for advice."
Lord Xinling was not careful when Captain Huayang suddenly mentioned him. He looked embarrassed and responded: "With what my brother is capable of, how can my younger brother be as good as him?"
Wei Huayang said: "Han and Wei are brothers. We should behave as brothers. The elder brother is the younger brother, and it is right for the brothers to be worthy of each other."
Lord Xinling felt helpless, but he smiled and said, "That's it, Wuji dares not to obey his orders."
Lieutenant Huayang said: "In this way, when the day comes when my brother becomes the king, I will recommend his most capable disciples to him. I will provide him with food and clothing, and don't dare to be independent."
Mr. Zhongyue said: "Your Majesty said, 'Wei and Han are brothers.' That's very true. But Qin attacks Wei, and Han invests in Qin. This is not a brotherhood."
Wei Huayang suddenly said: "...Although, the alliance between Wei and Han is still there....Han is capitalizing on Qin's grain and fodder, not to capitalize on it, but to make profit. I and Shi Liang will be doubled by Qin. Over time, they will be weakened. It’s Qin!”
Mr. Zhongyue said: "If you take more food directly, it will weaken Qin for a long time? Who proposes this strategy to the emperor?"
Wei Huayang murmured: "It was not planned by others, but was given by the king."
Mr. Zhongyue said: "With the wisdom of the King of Han, his plan must be very profound. I would like to hear the details."
Wei Huayang thought for a while and said: "In my humble opinion, if you take the things in the world directly, you will benefit both sides; if you don't take them directly, you will gain one thing and lose the other. Qin took twice as many grains and fodder from Han directly, so Han It will benefit twice as much, but Qin will suffer from it. Even if Qin gains millions of grains, it will also suffer the consequences. Although relief is urgent for the moment, it will actually take the loss in the future."
Mr. Zhongyue said: "Who can explain this to your Majesty?"
Huayang Wei said: "If there is no one else, I will be content with myself."
Zhongyue bowed deeply and said, "I would like to accept your offer!"
Xu Jia stroked his palms and smiled and said: "If you understand this, you are learning the way of a merchant. In the future, when you become the king, your palace will be full of gold and jade, your warehouse will be full of money and grain, and you will enjoy wealth and honor."
Wei Huayang said: "I really don't dare to be called a doctor. I just want to say that the wealth and honor I enjoy are deeply in my heart. In these troubled times, swords and wars are everywhere. But I have enough food and clothing, and my head is preserved for the rest of my life. How lucky is it!"
