After introducing themselves to each other, Liang Xin said: "We are all alone. Our mission has not been achieved and it is difficult to recover. We must rely on Dr. Jia's strength to achieve this."
Everyone said, "You are so sincere! Now that Dr. Jia is here, he will definitely be able to carry out his mission and save me from the quagmire."
Liang Xindao: "This is why the doctor will not abandon us; this is why we will help the doctor. I hope you will not give up your hard work and do your best to serve him well."
The man in the middle said: "Although the doctor is asking for help, he doesn't know what to do. How do you know that you don't regard us as a piece of grass? Are you putting me in a useless place?"
Another man said: "If you are sincere, you have no regrets. But you can lose your sincerity."
The Prime Minister of Zhongrenfu said: "When the official comes from afar, he will send few envoys. If there is no other way to drive him, there must be no other reason."
Liang Xindao: "The Prime Minister's words are very meaningful. I should follow his example." Others also agreed.
Liang Xinfu said: "Among us, the oldest one is the oldest, and I would like to be the leader!" All the young people agreed. The middleman made a few remarks, but everyone refused, so they acquiesced.
Everyone waited in the room with anxiety until the sun turned west, then came out one by one and went to the backyard to visit Xu Jia.
Arriving at the steps in front of the courtyard gate, Liang Xin said loudly: "Wei Lang Liang Xin, summoned by the doctor, has gathered all the Wei envoys. I would like to return my order!"
At this time, Xu Jia and his party were preparing dinner when they heard someone calling the door. Then someone came out and said, "Who are you gentlemen?"
Liang Xin said what she just said again. This man had just heard the Zaifu mention this matter and did not dare to make the decision, so he said first: "Please wait a moment, please allow me to report." When he was young, the Zaifu led Xu Jia straight out of the courtyard and saluted on the steps. Said: "I don't know that the noble envoy has arrived, and I am really uneasy."
The man in the middle said: "When the doctor calls me, I don't dare not to come. If there is a destiny, I don't dare to say anything!"
Xu Jia said from behind: "How dare I!" He bowed and let everyone go into the courtyard, walked up the steps and went straight into the main room. Just in front of the screen, the guests and hosts were seated. Xu Jia said: "Yu each tells his mission!"
The middle man said: "I entered Korea on the 20th day of the 10th month by order of the king and grandson. At that time, the people of Qin came to us to unify the seal, and the envoys of the king of Wei went to Korea to ask for help. I went to Korea with the intention of keeping the festival, but the king of Han is ill, and the mission has not been fulfilled so far."
Xingrenfu Cheng said: "I was sent to Han by the king's order on the 19th day of the 10th month. At that time, General Mangmao entered Liang and notified the Qin people to enter the suburbs of Liang. The troops pointed at the fields. I went to Han in order to protect the country, but the king of Han was ill, so the mission has not yet been completed. Da.”
Liang Xindao: "On the seventeenth day of the tenth month, I was ordered by the king to send an envoy to Korea. At that time, Lord Xinling went to the outside of the Great Wall to fight against the Qin people. The king's envoys went to Korea to report and ask for help. I went to Korea with integrity, but the king of Han was ill, and I have not been on my mission so far. Not yet reached.”
Another man said: "I was sent to Korea on the 16th day of the tenth lunar month by the king's order. At that time, General Mangmao reported the Wei army's bad news. The king's envoy went to Korea to report and ask for help. I went to Korea with integrity, but the king of Han was ill, so far my mission Not yet reached.”
Xu Jia said: "Each envoy has to be the king's envoy at a time of national crisis. Although he is in a low position, his loyalty and righteousness are commendable. I am also entrusted by the king to reach the Han court. There are many twists and turns. I wish you all the best. Help me!"
The man in the middle said: "I have little talent and little virtue, so I have failed in my mission and have humiliated the king. Even if I die, I will not be able to redeem myself. Now that I have become a great official again, I will be attached to my tail. How dare you disobey your orders and serve your life to the death!"
Everyone said: "I am willing to do my best."
Xu Jiafu bowed and said: "If things are harmonious, all the envoys can help each other."
Everyone also bowed down and said, "I am willing to listen to the doctor's orders."
Xu Jia asked: "Are the envoys related to Han?"
Ichiro said: "My family has been in Han for several generations. Now I am a high official, in charge of guarding the city gate."
Xu Jia said: "Son of Doctor Han, I am being rude. I dare to ask for your honorific title!"
Lang said: "I, the Shen family, are not injured. I have been an official in Han for a long time, and now I am a doctor of the Youshen family."
Xu Jia said: "Han Xiangshen is not harming him, but his clan?"
Shen Wushang said: "Although they are all from the Shen clan, they are not from the same clan. Our family got its clan name from the Youshen clan."
Xu Jia said: "I have come to Han, but I don't know where the Shenmen is."
Shen Wushang said: "Zheng City was built between Wei and Qin. In the south of the city, where Wei and Qin meet, there is the Shen Gate."
Xu Jia said: "If I don't hurt him, does he have a Shenmen family?"
Shen Wushang said: "Of course! There is a Shen gate close to Weiqin and far away from the royal city. Merchants gather there and there are many rivers and lakes."
Xu Jia thought for a while and said, "Of course. I seem to have gotten something from it, but I don't know if it has a Shenmen."
Shen Wushang said: "Korean people like simplicity, and Shen has no meaning. Therefore, many Han people call it Nanjin Gate. It is far opposite to Beiqumen."
Xu Jia said: "The king of Han is ill. Does the doctor's family have any history?"
Shen Wushang said: "The position is low and the position is small. The King of Han is ill, and he has a role in our family! I only order everyone who has to transport grain to report to the market and open it. It is something he didn't have at the time."
Xu Jia said: "He is transporting grain. After reporting it to the market, what is his condition like?"
Shen Wushang said: "I don't know this."
Xu Jia said: "Is it okay to consult with your family?"
Shen Wushang said: "Let me investigate carefully."
Later, Xu Jia asked again: "I have an old relative of Han again, can I get his love?"
Xingren Fu Cheng said: "My sister returned to Korea and saw Sitao Kiln. I entered Korea and lived in Yan."
Xu Jia said: "What family?"
Xingren Fu Cheng said: "We are humble people and dare not mention our family name. Our family makes mulberry trees, so it is fake."
Xu Jia said: "The king of Han is ill, what is the reason for my brother-in-law?"
Sang Cheng said: "I haven't heard of any reason."
Xu Jia said: "Maybe something happened, like a grain transporter reporting to the market?"
Sang Cheng said: "I haven't heard of it either."
Xu Jia said: "Maybe there is an increase or decrease in a certain weapon?"
Sang Cheng said: "I heard... there may be many cauldrons and bowls, but few bottles and basins."
Xu Jia said: "I would like to know the details. What is the way?"
Sang Cheng said: "Why is it so difficult? If you consult your brother-in-law, you will definitely get it."
Xu Jia said: "When the envoys come to Korea and visit the Han court, can they visit the Korean officials?"
The middle man looked at the other three people, and they all shook their heads. The middleman then replied: "I really want to visit him, but I haven't found the way."
Xu Jia asked: "Where will the middle official live when he enters Korea?"
The middleman said: "I am temporarily staying in the post house outside Shenmen, so I can be close to Mr. Shen."
Xu Jia asked: "Do you have any history with Shen Lang?"
The middleman said: "It's not the same as before. I was late when I sent the envoy, so I heard that Mr. Shen had sent an envoy to Han before, but he still hadn't sent him back. So he went through many entrustments and reported to his door, thinking that he would respond. In order to be close to Mr. Shen, he left the near and went to live far away. There is Shenyi.”
Xu Jia said: "Liang Lang may have gained something."
Liang Xindao said: "Since I arrived in Han Dynasty, I have often seen Korean envoys coming and going in a strict manner, and they all go east. This is near Beiqumen, which leads directly to the royal city, so I can see it."
Xu Jia asked: "As an envoy to Korea from the east, will you return that day?"
Liang Xindao said: "I leave in the morning and return in the evening. I thought about it. Those who go east and leave in the morning and return in the evening are Liang. Why did Han not accept the envoys from Wei and instead sent envoys to Liang?"
Xu Jia said: "We must go to Qifeng."
The man in the middle asked in surprise: "The Korean envoys are going to Kaifeng? Are the Koreans backing Wei and Qin?" As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the audience exclaimed, "Huh?!"
Xu Jia said: "This is why the king's envoys came. There is a real reason why the envoys failed to fulfill their missions. It was due to their incompetence and wisdom."
The man in the middle trembled when he spoke, and said: "Wei wants help from South Korea, but South Korea rebels and joins Qin. So...is Wei in danger?"
Xu Jia said: "We must use the power of all the envoys to fight back. The Qin people knew everything about it when they entered Qifeng. The Qin people set up a military market in Qifeng and paid double the price for the market grain, fodder, and utensils, thinking that it would last long. The ignorant and stupid people in the four villages competed with each other to take advantage of it. , in order to seek huge profits. Huayang Wei also went there, but fortunately he was defeated by Lord Xinling. Now Lord Xinling has occupied Huayang and attacked from the side to unblock the seal. If the King of Han is persuaded to attack with the north and south of Liang, Qin can defeat it. But Han Han If you want huge profits, you will not only stop aiding Wei, but you will also help Qin, secretly using food and fodder to make money, which is a serious danger."
Shen Bushang suddenly said: "That's what he said. From what I can see, there are many water and food boats out of Hanyu Youshen's gate. The waterway is circuitous, and it can also be opened and closed. It's not impossible to cover it with twists and turns!"
Sang Cheng also said: "Cauldrons, lamps and other items are all ordinary utensils. If you are looking for huge profits, it is better to invest in Qin."
Everyone here felt heavy. Xu Jia said: "The transportation of grain through waterways is not as good as transportation by carts. The quantity is huge but the cost is low. Although the waterways are tortuous, it can be reached overnight. If Qin has no worries about its back-up, how can it win?"
Seeing that everyone was frustrated, Jia Fu said: "It depends on people. Although Han helped Qin, he did not turn his back on Wei. The current plan is to meet the King of Han as soon as possible, admonish him, alienate Han and Qin, and help Wei. The envoys can have their own ideas. road?"
Everyone shook their heads. The man in the middle said: "If I had found the way, I would have done it early. I have no other solution."
Xu Jia had no choice but to say: "The millet is ripe in the kitchen, but there are only a few vegetables. I would like to offer it to you, and I hope you will not say goodbye. I hope you will do what I have entrusted you to do."
Everyone said: "The great master has given me this gift, so what merit do we have? I dare not make any mistakes in my orders."
Xu Jia said: "I hope that with my mission, I can return to my hometown." He stood up and bowed, and everyone also stood up and said goodbye one by one. The zaifu behind him led him to sit down in the courtyard and wait for the meal.
Xu Jia stayed alone in the room, sighing in his heart: What can I do, what can I do!
Just as he was sighing, Lord Xinling's guest came back. Unexpectedly, he saw that these Wei envoys were also sitting there. He glanced at them a few more times, and after greeting the prime minister, they announced at the steps of the main room. Seeing that he was Lord Xinling's retainer, Xu Jia suddenly had a bright idea in his mind: if he cooperated with Lord Xinling, it might be helpful to the mission. Then he said: "Please come to the hall."
Xinlingjun's guests came up the steps, and Jiayi asked them to go indoors, and the two of them sat down. Xu Jia asked: "What's the matter?"
The guest said: "Many of the guests have old friends with Han. We have been relying on each other for a long time, and we will definitely find the way."
Xu Jia said: "I should also go straight into the gate to see it, maybe I can get one or two." After looking around, he said: "I have found out that the number of Koreans is as large as that of Qin, and there are envoys arriving in Qifeng every day. And South Water Gate There are many grain boats, going down the river, or to unsealing."
The guest said: "The doctor is wrong. The seal is opened in the north. If you go out of the south gate and go down, you are heading south. How can you open the seal?"
Xu Jia said: "It's not a mistake. The waterway is tortuous, and there is a road leading to Qifeng. Carrying food with water is not like carrying it in a cart. It is huge and fast, and it can reach more than ten thousand stones in a day and night. I hope you will be able to communicate with me sir. This matter is beyond my ability." I am arbitrary and willing to obey the orders of the young master!"
The retainer said: "It has not been a day since the doctor arrived in Korea. How can he achieve such a feat?"
Xu Jia said: "This is someone else's secret report. Even if it is not true, it is still a common man."
The retainer said: "The Korean envoys passed through to open the seal, and the water was transported to the seal. It was a huge event. The official has given the order, and he is humble and does not dare to delay. Please set off immediately."
Xu Jia said: "The millet is ripe in the kitchen, but I drink some porridge and go away."
The retainer said: "It's already getting late. If it's too late, the city will be closed, and it'll be a waste of time to build a hammer. I'll go on my way and I'll be back the next day."
Xu Jia said: "Mr. Lao Lai, how can I feel at ease!"
The guest stood up and left. Quietly avoid the crowd and leave the post in a floating manner. On the way, he only exchanged a few words with the people on the reverse journey, got out of the city before the city gate closed, and headed straight for Huayang.
