After the former general arrived, some guests came into the house to report to Lord Xinling. Lord Xinling wanted to help Captain Daliang get into the car. Captain Daliang waved his hand and said, "Don't let the concubine know this." Standing next to him was Dr. Xu Jia. ——In the rush, no one noticed when he entered the house.
The diners went out first and lined up on both sides. Lord Xinling, Captain Daliang and Doctor Xujia stepped out. Although there was no opening ceremony, there was still a sense of ceremony. Seeing this etiquette, everyone in the tent couldn't help but stand up straight. The three ministers who were busy just now: Si Mang, Si Sheng and Young Master Liang Wei also stood behind Xiang Bi on the right. Lord Xinling bowed to Daliang. Wei and Dr. Xu Jia entered the tent from the back and greeted everyone, and everyone returned the greeting. Half of the retainers standing behind him were behind Lord Xinling, and the other half were behind the seats of the rear army.
After the ceremony, Lord Xinling and the other three sat down after a few words, and the others followed suit.
Lord Xinling said: "Lieutenant Daliang has been slightly ill since he entered the camp. Fortunately, he has recovered. He knows that I have won, so I am congratulated."
Lieutenant Daliang said: "Thanks to the great power of the King of Wei and all the troops working together, it is difficult for the Qin people to show their power. They peeked at our army but failed. I would like to celebrate!"
Everyone said in unison: "Here!"
Lord Xinling said: "It is necessary for the doctor Jia to send Han by the king's order. He passed through this city and was happy to hear the victory. He also celebrated together."
Dr. Xu Jia said: "Thanks to the majesty of the king and the strength of all the generals, the Qin people watched our army but failed. I would like to celebrate!"
Qi Ren said again: "Here!"
Lord Xinling said: "The Jin doctor is a despicable man. He is in front of the battle and works hard without caring about his own safety. He makes plans so that no thieves can enter. This is for merit!"
Dr. Jin Bi knelt down and said: "It is the blessing of the king, the virtue of the king, and the strength of all the generals, what contribution can I make!"
Lord Xinling said: "The virtue of a lieutenant general is to run the army in a strict and orderly manner. He is as immovable as a mountain. Thieves are brave enough to break the courage. This is meritorious service!"
The general in the middle army knelt down and said: "It is the blessing of the king, the virtue of the king, and the strength of the soldiers, what contribution can I make!"
Lord Xinling said: "Former General Ming personally commanded his army, visited his formations, commanded the troops with determination, and the soldiers served their lives well. Although the thieves advanced repeatedly, they failed. This is meritorious service!"
The general in front of the army knelt down and said: "It is the blessing of the king, the virtue of the king, and the strength of the soldiers, what contribution can I make!"
Lord Xinling said: "Those who kill the enemy and capture the flag, and those who have made contributions to others, will be rewarded in addition!"
Everyone said: "Here!"
Jin Bi said: "The rear army guards my center and prepares my food and fodder. The enemy invades but does not move. The army is really reliable. I am willing to take credit!"
The other two people didn't understand, so they said together: "Everyone wishes!"
Lord Xinling smiled and said, "Here!"
Everyone said in unison: "Here!"
After the reward was completed, Lord Xinling said: "The Qin people have not retreated even though they were defeated. What is their intention? The seal is firmly in my heart. What should I do to retreat? Please teach me!"
The former general said: "The Qin people have repeatedly attacked without success, so we must wait for their reinforcements. I should ask them to use Daliang to send troops to help, and then I will succeed."
Lord Xinling said: "Yesterday, Dr. Jin reported success and asked for help."
Jin Bi said: "The letter has been sent, but the reply has not yet arrived."
Lord Xinling said: "I sent a brief military report, but there was no reply."
Doctor Xu Jia said: "I have been ordered by the king to send Han Ling to help. There will be good news day and night."
Lord Xinling said: "That's what I sincerely hope. Fortunately, doctor!"
The general of the central army said: "I am backing the city and borrowing one. If Qin attacks us with a light army, there will be no luck. You should be calm and stop, send more scouts, and watch the enemy change."
Wei Daliang suddenly asked: "From what you have seen, how many times did the Qin people attack us?"
The former general said: "I see their flags and formations, there are about ten thousand people."
Jin Bi said: "If there is no other support, this will stop ten thousand people."
Lord Xinling also said: "There is a gentleman who watches the enemy's camp at night and orders their groups. This is also what he should do."
Lieutenant Daliang said: "The enemy marches with thousands of people and strangles our hundreds of thousands. If we advance, we can't attack Qifeng, and if we retreat, we can't protect our hometown. All the people in Wei are attached to Qin, and they carry grains and plates to support the enemy. I am deep. I feel worried."
In one sentence, he completely negated the merits of the whole army's continuous fighting, and the scene immediately became deserted.
Although Lord Xinling felt that what Daliang Wei said was a bit inappropriate, he generally believed that what he said was reasonable: If the Qin army does not exceed ten thousand people, and our army can completely crush it with its superior strength, why should we still hold on? But he couldn't say this, otherwise he would offend a lot of people. Then he turned to Jin Bi and said, "The doctor is fighting with Qin today, and the people of Qin will know the truth and falsehood."
Although Jin Bi was choked up by Daliang Wei's words, he still said calmly: "The people who come out of Qin are five officials, named Lu. The mausoleum is considered the front part. Although Qin Yuan only has ten thousand people, he can only go out of Qifeng for thirty miles, and reinforcements arrive in the morning and evening. Although our army is large, it is difficult to do anything. The land I occupy is Han; the place Qin lives in is Wei. The land. Huayang is close to the capital of Han and far away from Daliang. I have the city on my back and face the wilderness. I am based in the west, while Qin lives in the east. I live upstream and face the downstream. But Qin works at sunrise, with the sun behind and the yin facing. , and when I welcome the sun, most of it is dazzling. This is a disadvantage and another advantage. However, although our army is large, it will be difficult to use it after the new defeat. Only if we have the courage to fight, we can win the battle and boost our morale, so we can use it. .”
Daliang Wei said: "The wishes of the princes are very consistent with the art of war. But it is not what you want if it lasts for a long time. What is it? Qin lives in Wei, and the sun eats Wei's grain; although Wei lives in Han, it eats Han's grain, and then it will return. That's right. One day requires two days of food. Qin takes the wealth of Wei, and Wei also takes it; Qin serves the people of Wei, and Wei also serves them. The people of Wei are twice as powerful, and they are half as powerful as the enemy. Even though I defeat them overnight, there is still nothing left. The advantage lasts for a long time! What's more, when soldiers gather in the wild, they hug tigers and drive away wolves. Changes occur overnight, and the people's disaster is worse than thieves! Therefore, it is said: Soldiers who have heard of clumsy victory will win, but they have not heard of skill for a long time. "
Jin Bi said: "But if we get three or five formations and our morale is doubled, we can fight."
Captain Daliang said: "If we win with three or five formations, our morale will be doubled. If we lose, what can we do?"
Jin Bi said: "That's why we must strictly control our formation, supervise and lead the soldiers, and strive for complete victory."
Daliang Wei said: "Even if we win a complete victory, the soldiers will eat one fight per day, and the officials will take twice as much. How many days can a hundred thousand people last?"
The former general said: "Although we are fighting, we still eat one day, so why fight for food! There are still some people in the civilian army who eat rice."
Captain Daliang said: "If this is true, I'm afraid our morale will not last long and will be depressed."
Seeing the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two sides, Lord Xinling quickly interrupted: "What do you mean by what you said about 'eating for one meal' and 'fighting for food'?"
Both sides of the debate were a little angry, and neither of them wanted to talk about these common-sense issues. They lowered their heads and remained silent. Lord Xinling had no choice but to turn his attention to the right side of the rear army sitting far away. Pi turned his eyes to the right and dodged for a few times. He saw that Lord Xinling was looking at him and could not hide away, so he had to answer in an errand: "Lü, the soldiers eat two liters. If you eat three times a day, it will be half a dou, and the officials will eat twice that." If they fight with each other, the number of soldiers will be doubled, so the soldiers will have to fight for food." He answered hastily, without saying a word, lowered his head, and said nothing.
Jin Bi recovered from his anger first and took over the topic: "When fighting, soldiers fight for food. There are hundreds of thousands of people, and the sun eclipses thousands of rocks. Huayang is ten, but only three or five eclipses. Therefore, even if we fight, the sun will be eaten. One meal. In the past, there were many soldiers and people but few chariots. If there was not enough food, we would make up for it with grains."
These words undoubtedly confirmed Lieutenant Liang's accusation: although it was in line with the art of war to hold on and wait for the enemy to change, the food problem could not be solved, and he might not be able to survive it first.
But Jin Bi's doctor immediately said: "Although I have little food, I still have ten villages. The Qin people's light army has penetrated deeply. They have no baggage and no support, so they will not last long. Even if I eat only one day, I still have a way to win. .”
Daliang Wei said: "Although the Qin Dynasty has no scruples in my hometown, the gains will be no less. If the enemy eats one bell, it will be my twenty bells; one stone of stalks will be my twenty stones. If the enemy eats my food, the enemy will benefit. It is strong, but I am weak, how can I be worthy of it! There is no smoke for cooking in the city, and there is no firewood in the fields, and even if I drive all the Qin, what will it do to the cause?"
Jin Bi said: "The Qin people invaded repeatedly, and Wei suffered from it. If we can defeat it in one fell swoop, the Qin people will be frightened, and this is my wish. However, if the Qin Dynasty is strong, it cannot be defeated by force. It will have to wait for time and take advantage of the opportunity. I hope you will Check it out!"
Daliang Wei said: "The king regards the people as his heaven, and the people regard food as his heaven. He who can understand the heaven is so good. The people of Qin eat my food and destroy our people. This is the king's heaven. We must drive them away." I hope you will check it out!"
The two people had different opinions, so they stopped arguing and pointed their finger at Lord Xinling. Lord Xinling was speechless for a while and didn't know what to do.
Doctor Jia came out to persuade him and said: "The words of the doctor are in parallel with the policy of Daliang Wei. How can the doctor support the enemy? But take advantage of the gap and attack with a drum. But there is no gap to take advantage of, but stick to it and wait for it. Change."
Daliang Wei said: "The doctor has been sitting in the high hall for a long time and is not familiar with the affairs of the battlefield. If I borrow one from the back of the city, I still have more courage to fight; if I advance with courage, I still have a way to win. If the sun and moon pass by, the soldiers will become tired and angry. If you are depressed, the drum will not advance, and you will be defeated when you meet the enemy. How can you take advantage of the opportunity? Moreover, it is better to guard against changes in the people than to guard against thieves. Although our army today is said to be one hundred thousand, there are only ten thousand who can fight, and the rest are The people in the countryside have little practice in education and do not know the etiquette and justice. If you use it for a short time, you may gain its power; if you use it for a long time, it will change. I am afraid that the enemy will not have a gap, and our army will be in chaos without fighting! This use The subtlety of the army is beyond the reach of a high-ranking commentator!" He slapped Xu Jia directly in the face without any politeness.
Lord Xinling felt a little embarrassed when he saw that Captain Daliang didn't give him any face. He had no choice but to change the subject and said: "Sir Mang of the Hou Army Camp has a strategy to defeat the enemy. Can I hear about it?"
Daliang Wei said: "It's just a business division, how can you offer advice in a virtuous manner!"
Lord Xinling was a little hesitant and said: "General Rear Administrative Officer Si Mang is in the middle camp, and I just thought of the painting as a compliment. I would like to hear it for a while."
Lieutenant Daliang said impatiently, "I'm not telling you what I'm saying."
Si Mang was a little at a loss, but Mr. Jin behind him took out a roll of white silk from his arms, opened it in front of the banquet, and said: "I have been ordered by the emperor to explore the formations of the two armies and the terrain of the mountains and rivers, and plot them on the silk. Si Mang, and get his love."
When Si Mang faced the map, he felt much calmer. He avoided the table and bowed: "I have observed the camp layout of the two armies: our army is located in the territory of Han, while Qin is located in the territory of Wei. The camps of the two armies are opposite each other, each based on ten miles. Along the river, the camps and fortresses are guarding each other, and there is no difference. On both wings of our army, the central army comes forward to protect the wings, but the Qin people have none. I think that if we charge one wing, the thieves will break it."
Lieutenant Daliang attacked the case and said: "What a wonderful saying. The Qin people have an opportunity to take advantage of it, and they will definitely get it. Si Mang praised the painting of military aircraft, and if he can offer this strategy, he really lives up to the wisdom of the emperor!"
