In Lord Xinling's mind, he originally thought that the Qin people would be hungry if they went deep into the tiger's den, so there should be many opportunities to sell food. If Zhang Nou said that he could set off tomorrow, he would not be surprised, and he would only feel that the manpower is tight. But Zhang Zhe's words poured cold water on his head. Not only did his mind clear up, but his whole body cooled down. He asked angrily: "Chu? Liang? Are they all under Qin?"
Zhang Noi nodded and said, "What Brother Zeng said is true."
Lord Xinling said: "What I rely on, and Qin's defeat, is long-lasting. Now even if Han is said to be backing Qin, but Qin's food supply is endless, it can last forever. What can I do?"
Mr. Cao said: "In my opinion, when the two armies confront each other, the winner will be one with courage. To reward morale, all things will stop with one drum. I am willing to lead the dead soldiers as the vanguard."
Lord Xinling said: "We all know Mr. Fan's bravery. But when he gets it, he is about to work. Does Mr. Fan have any other ideas?"
Mr. Fan usually doesn't like to speak. He only speaks when someone needs to ask for advice. Seeing Lord Xinling call him by name, he said: "As I know, if the bandits can come, I can go too. Qin opened a military market, and I will also open a military market, isn't that right?"
Mr. Zhongyue said: "Qin City is at the intersection of water and land, and the market converges. Except for Daliang, there is really no other city that can compare."
Mr. Fan said: "I think about what I want from the four villages. I have a strong and sharp ear. I will give you twice as much. Would you rather?"
Mr. Zhongyue let out a long sigh and said: "If Qin lives in the land of Qin and Wei lives in the land of Wei, they will each use their own strength to hold each other in harmony, as he said. However, Qin's current occupation of Qifeng is the heart of Wei. It will gain food for profit and harm one. Yes; I will avoid the harm with twice the benefit, which is the second harm." As he said this, he looked at Zhang Nou, who smiled knowingly.
Lord Xinling said: "To build the art of war, we can only make mistakes in many ways. Although Huayang is a small town, it is also the strategic point of Han and Wei. Although a small military city will not hinder the people of Qin, it will be a small supplement to our army."
Mr. Fan said: "Since your Majesty has spoken in many ways and misunderstood him, he will envoy Han now, and he will envoy Chu again. The King of Chu lives in Chen, and he is at the back of Qin. It will be beneficial if he can get his help."
Lord Xinling said: "Sir's words are enlightening and dull. It is better to ask Dr. Xu Jia for help." Looking at the sky, he saw that he was about to die, and then said: "The time has passed, and the day is waiting. "
Before he could finish his words, a cry of killing came. Everyone's expressions changed and they stood up. Fortunately, except for Zhang Yue and Mr. Zhongyue, everyone else was still armed, so they leaned towards Lord Xinling. When everyone came out of the hall, several guests had already left their rooms and came to the courtyard. Zhang Ye shouted: "The enemy is attacking! Get in formation!" These people immediately moved around. One went to wake everyone up, and the other ran out to wake up the diners in the barracks. When he was going out, he happened to bump into a military envoy holding a talisman. After the military envoy came in, he saw Lord Xinling standing majestically on the front steps of the hall and hurriedly reported: "The enemy attacked outside the south gate!"
Lord Xinling didn't say much and just led everyone outside the mansion. As he walked, he ordered: "Beat the drum as a warning!" The military envoy hurried out and shouted loudly: "Beat the drum as a warning~ Beat the drum as a warning~"
Huayang City was originally a small fortress designed for defense, and it was fully equipped with golden drums to respond to orders. Hearing the call, the four big drums beat together, the sound was overwhelming. Mr. Xinling waited outside the door, but the school grounds were still empty. The guests in the courtyard woke up one after another early and late. Wei Huayang also ran over in panic and asked what happened. Lord Xinling comforted him with a few words of kindness to reassure him. Zhang He arranged for the retainers who came over to go to the city to learn about the situation. He also sent retainers to invite Daliang Wei and his son, Dr. Xu Jia and his son, the two Mang brothers, and all the Wei Gongzi to the Huayang Wei Mansion for centralized protection; he also assigned manpower , Protect Dr. Xu Jia's car - this is related to the success or failure of the mission and has a key impact on the battle situation.
Zhongying Yingsi is still reckless. He was the first to appear in front of Huayang Wei Mansion. Lord Xinling simply explained that if there was an enemy night attack outside the south gate, defense could be arranged. When the commander received the order, he stood in front of the gate of the mansion and set up flags and drums. He did not wait for the whole battalion to be completed. If there was a complete formation, he immediately arranged tasks, either to go to the city, or to inspect, or to open the arsenal and move Get something like a torch.
The inquiring guests from the city came back one after another, and the summary was that except for the police outside the south gate, there were no abnormalities outside the other gates. The inquiring disciple from the south gate said that due to the darkness of the night, he could only vaguely tell that the direction of the Qin people's attack was probably the soldiers of the right camp outside the south city. The right battalion has just received more than a thousand soldiers from the army and has not yet been reorganized. It is estimated that the losses will be heavy.
As soon as the drums were played, fire appeared in the sky south of the city. The gentlemen in the barracks came over one after another, and almost all the soldiers lined up. Since many soldiers had been arranged to go to the city beforehand, there was only one team of soldiers left on the school grounds now, which was probably the reserve team that Si Mang planned to control. Si Mang reported to Lord Xinling that the formation of the military soldiers' camp had been completed and all had gone to the city. Lord Xinling praised with satisfaction: "Si Mang is not surprised when he changes. He is as motionless as a mountain and as moving as a stray rabbit. Although he is a famous general in ancient times, he can't do anything about it." !”
Si Mang said a few polite words and asked for orders to go to the city. Lord Xinling agreed and asked him to report anything in time. Si Mang led the last group of soldiers towards Nancheng.
As the three tongs and drums stopped, torches were lit one by one on the city wall, illuminating the whole city and making it possible to see for miles outside the city. All the camps outside the city were also in flames, and it seemed that they were all in formation. Moreover, we could faintly see the movement of firelight from the Chinese army, which must be organizing reinforcements.
Suddenly, skirmishers came running from outside the city, shouting as they ran that they were soldiers from the right camp. Si Mang ordered not to get close, otherwise he would be shot. The shouts from the city could be clearly heard throughout the city: "Don't come close, or you'll be shot! Don't come close, or you'll be shot!"
At this time, Daliang Wei and his son, Dr. Xu Jia and his son, Mang's two brothers, and all the princes of Wei all arrived. Lord Xinling was sitting in the court chatting with them, leaving only Zhang Yue, Zhong Yue and other retainers outside the house. Handle military affairs. Lieutenant Huayang was also invited to accompany him. Lieutenant Huayang was very "sensible" and brought a few boys with him, and brought out a lot of food and drinks, so that the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
Lord Xinling heard the order from the city and asked, "Why are the remaining soldiers outside the city not allowed to approach?"
Captain Daliang replied: "I'm afraid there are spies among them." Lord Xinling nodded silently and asked: "Are they going to be slaughtered all?"
Daliang Wei said: "Those who guard the pavilion lose the pavilion, those guarding the barrier lose the barrier, and those guarding the city lose the city, they will all be killed. Those who lose the troops will be beheaded by a team, and those who lose a lot will be beheaded by a tenth. Everyone will be safe in this way." Lord Xinling He nodded silently again.
A Wei Gongzi said angrily: "Young Master entrusted all the affairs to the Jin officials, but omitted to this point, which frightened the Young Master. His crime is not light!"
Lord Xinling glanced at the young master and saw that he was sleepy and probably still sleeping. He only bowed silently and did not respond. Instead, he turned to the Mang brothers and said, "I would like to pay my respects to you, general."
Mangchen quickly replied: "We sent military envoys during the day and thought they had entered the country. There will be rewards tomorrow."
Lord Xinling thought for a moment, then turned to Doctor Xu Jia and said, "I will be rewarded at night. Those who support Qin are not only Han, but also Chu." As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar at the table. A Wei young master said angrily: "Han and Wei are brothers, how can they help Qin?"
Although these Wei masters were in the camp, they never attended the daily discussions and were not interested in the war, so they didn't know many things.
Doctor Xu Jia replied: "Han's capital to Qin is not to betray the alliance, but to seek profit. The Qin people buy grain at double the price, but the Koreans squander it, which is to capitalize on it."
A Wei Gongzi said: "It is unfaithful and unjust. Since we know that Wei and Qin are at war, and Han is a brother, even if we do not help each other, we should not support Qin!"
Another Wei Gongzi said: "The bustle in the world is all for profit; the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit. Why is Han alone? Brother, don't blame me."
One of the young masters said: "The prince is in power, so I gave him a pair of jade bis as a gift. Sooner or later, when we see him, we will blame each other." He said it as if he was very close to Prince Han.
Lord Xinling saw the quarrel among these young masters and hurriedly stopped him, saying, "The doctor sent Han for this reason. Although Han is unjust for profit, he will regret it and help Wei if he hears the doctor's words. However, Chu Fei The Wei League is also a country, but Chen Su has many merchants, few righteousness and greed, so what can he do if he invests in Qin?"
Xu Jia pondered for a moment and said: "There is more than one way to defeat the enemy. The current plan is to find out why Chu supports Qin and what its intentions are, and only then can we decide on a strategy."
Lord Xinling said: "The mission to Chu depends entirely on the doctor. Don't worry about anything you need. When I return from the mission, I will still look at Huayang."
Xu Jia said: "I should reply to your Majesty. But once I leave, I won't pay you back until half a month. Your Majesty..."
Lord Xinling said: "The people of Qin want to be durable. Our army is also invincible at first and wants to be durable. There should be no serious problems within half a month."
Xu Jia bowed his head and stopped talking. Lord Xinling said: "The right camp of the rear army was attacked, and the soldiers in the confinement were injured. It is my fault. All the expenses should be paid by the Xinling Mansion." After hearing this, everyone was stunned at first, only Daliang Wei and Liang Wei The young master understood clearly that because the military soldiers in Yanzhong were privately recruited by Mr. Liang Wei, this trip to the battle was not considered an errand, and the expenses should have been paid by Liang Wei's mansion. So Lord Xinling took over this matter. Daliang Wei and his son bowed down in their seats and said, "Young Master, I dare not not remember your kindness."
Lord Xinling said: "Twenty people from Daliang Wei have come, and nine of them have died. The Mang family has returned to the country, the Lu family has returned to me, and the Xu family has returned to my father. The remaining four people cannot be harmed. Now the Qin people are arrogant and uneasy outside the camp; The young master is young and is not familiar with formation battles, so it is inconvenient for him to leave the city. I would like to temporarily return to Daliang Wei's tent as a compliment."
Daliang Wei said: "Young Master's words are kind words, which are deeply touched by my heart." All the young masters of Wei who were seated also paid their respects.
Daliang Wei said: "But the dog is not talented and must be tempered. I am willing to go to the camp."
Lord Xinling said: "You can go to the middle camp, but don't let us go out of the city, for fear of being in trouble."
Mr. Liang Wei said: "As a general, you must brave the front, beat the drums and advance forward, and die without retreating, only then can you fulfill your wish. May your Majesty make it happen!"
Lord Xinling said: "Where do you want to live, young master?"
Mr. Liang Wei said: "The right camp was attacked, and the soldiers were frightened. I would like to go to the right camp and revive their spirit."
Lord Xinling said: "Who is Youyingsi?"
Daliang Wei said: "Youying Sikong has a father-son relationship with me."
Lord Xinling said: "This makes me feel at ease. Captain Daliang can use it according to his talents."
Captain Daliang said: "You are here, how many people can you help?"
Lord Xinling said: "I'm afraid it will be used by others, so I'm sorry that I can't obey my order."
Lieutenant Daliang insisted: "We don't dare to be strong. The right camp is not in order now, and we are facing such a defeat. We have to get the help of more than ten people from the young master's sect. We can't be harmonious."
Lord Xinling said: "If you have any idea, you can tell Mr. Zhongyue and he will be dispatched."
Lieutenant Daliang said: "Thank you so much, Mr. He!"
