Lord Xinling looked at Zheng Anping and said, "Do you also know the affairs of the various countries?"
Zheng Anping lowered his eyes and said, "I don't know."
Lord Xinling said: "You know the Qin people came to Qifeng."
Zheng Anping said: "Qin set up a military market in Qifeng, and the people of the four villages competed to sell grain to support the Qin army."
Lord Xinling said: "Not only the people of the four villages, Zheng and Liang are also with Yan."
Zheng Anping was stunned for a moment, then said: "Is it Nai He Yan?"
Lord Xinling said: "I heard that there is a peace negotiation, but it's still not an alliance!"
Zheng Anping said: "That's right! Firstly, no living beings will be killed, and secondly, the farming season will not be missed."
Lord Xinling said: "Now I want the young master to come to Zheng and visit Dr. Xu Jia to communicate with him."
Zheng Anping thought for a while and said, "I heard that all the gentlemen came to Zheng with the doctor, but why can't they communicate with each other?"
Mr. Guo explained: "Although gentlemen come to the door, they obey the orders of Dr. Xu Jia. Without the doctor's order, it is difficult to leave."
Zheng Anping listened to Mr. Guo's introduction silently, thinking about the relationship between Xu Jia and Lord Xinling. Mr. Guo continued: "Now I want the young master to come to Zheng to get the favor of Dr. Jia, and inform Huayang and Daliang about everything to hear the doctor's opinion."
Zheng Anping said: "There is no difficulty in this. Han and Wei are allies. I am a commoner, but I take a light chariot and a talisman and drive directly down to Zheng. I enter the post to see the doctor. I will return after hearing his words. It only takes a day. day."
Mr. Guo said: "Although Han is in alliance with Wei, he secretly communicates with Qin. There are difficulties and dangers involved, young master, you should know!"
Zheng Anping said: "Take a light chariot and drive directly down to Zheng. The Russians are coming back. Even if they have treacherous plots, there is no way to start."
Mr. Guo said: "What can you do if you fall down on the road?"
Zheng Anping said: "When a light carriage comes in and a light carriage comes out, even if you want to hide, there is no way. Moreover, the road from Huayang to Zheng is straight without twists and turns; merchants come and go without stopping on the road; and there is no secluded place in the mountains and forests. You can hide, but it’s difficult to set up an ambush.”
When Mr. Guo saw that Zheng Anping's analysis was very clear, he said, "I will prepare the car and look after you the next day."
So Mr. Guo and Zheng Anping discussed tomorrow's matters in detail. Zheng Anping hoped that the carriage could be equipped with a driver and a driver, so that the carriage would always be within the sight of his own people and would not give people the chance to tamper with the carriage, making it safer. Mr. Guo asked him to find it by himself, so Zheng Anping recommended two postmen from this post.
Zheng Anping called the two postmen and asked Mr. Guo and Lord Xinling to take a look at them. Both of them had no objections. After explaining tomorrow's mission, the two postmen were a little nervous, but for Zheng Anping's sake, they accepted it. Zheng Anping told them that their mission was to stay on the carriage all the time, no matter if the sky fell, and even if they pooped and peed, they would only stay around the carriage.
After discussion, they all wore military uniforms tomorrow to publicly identify themselves, which would make them safer.
Zheng Anping's plan completely jumped out of the secret operation scenario envisioned by Lord Xinling and others, and turned into a fast-attack plan. Although it was unexpected, they all thought it was a feasible way. What's more, there are many disciples of Lord Xinling around. Zheng Anping disclosed his identity and said clearly that he was looking for Dr. Xu Jia. Without any prior explanation, he could get the help of these disciples. ——Of course only Mr. Xinling and Mr. Guo know this.
At dusk the next day, Zheng Anping and three others boarded the carriage and headed straight for Zheng in the dim morning light. Since Dr. Xu Jia lived in Guanyi outside the city, they did not need to wait for the city gate to open.
After sending Zheng Anping away, Lord Xinling first went to Mr. Liang Wei and asked about the details of Daliang Wei. He didn't get much. He only knew that Mang Mao and Wei Qi had secretly visited Daliang Wei respectively. The conversation was extremely confidential, and everyone avoided entering the palace. Down.
During the war, Lord Xinling invited Doctor Jin Bi and introduced to him what he had learned. Doctor Jin Bi had a gloomy look on his face and didn't say much. He just said: "Without the king's order, we would only prepare for war to welcome Qin, regardless of peace negotiations."
Lord Xinling said: "If the Wei envoy is in the camp, why don't we get trapped?"
Doctor Jin Bi said: "It is a small defeat for the Qin army, why would you rather not help it?" Lord Xinling was right.
At noon, Zheng Anping drove back. As expected, the journey was uneventful. He brought back the news from Dr. Xu Jia: King Han was still ill and had not gotten up. Although Dr. Xu Jia interviewed several doctors, he could not find anything. Zheng Anping conveyed Lord Xinling's message: Wei, Han Yu and Qin Lianheng must investigate this matter. Dr. Jia simply said: "This must be Mr. Chen's plan."
News also came from Lu Bo's side that the trade routes in Daliang were wide open and the people were in peace. Except for the doubling of prices, everything was fine. According to the information obtained through merchant channels, the Wei envoy who visited Qifeng was Duan Zigan!
After Mr. Guo heard the news, he immediately asked someone to convey it to Lu Bo, and tried to find a way to get close to Duan Ziqian to find out the details of the peace agreement.
At night, Zhang Zou attracted a person, it was Zeng Ji.
Zeng Ji suddenly appeared in Huayang City, which surprised Lord Xinling. Just as he was about to pay his dues according to the rules, Zeng Ji said: "Young master, you don't have to. We are here, but I have one thing to say: The Qin people want to break Huayang, so I will prepare for you."
Lord Xinling asked hurriedly: "I would like to hear the details."
Zeng Jidao said: "The King of Wei did not want to bribe the city, and the Qin people could not recover their lives, so they wanted to attack the young master in order to move the King of Wei. Duke Chen was afraid that the young master would make mistakes, so he specially ordered his concubines to sneak in and tell him."
Mr. Xinling said: "I would like to take a break and buy some wine."
Zeng Jidao: "This matter is confidential and cannot last long. I am willing to resign."
Lord Xinling couldn't stay, so he ordered Zhang Noi to send him off. After returning, Lord Xinling asked: "Why do you want to see me?"
Zhang Ye said: "I was inspecting the city and suddenly I heard someone in the dark calling 'Brother Zhang'. I thought it was Brother Zeng."
Lord Xinling asked: "Brother Zeng, in the midst of thousands of troops, went straight into the city?"
Zhang Ye said: "Of course. I sent him off when I saw him stepping down from the city, as if walking on flat ground, patrolling normally, it is really difficult to guard against him."
Lord Xinling sighed. Then he asked again: "Brother Zeng, what do you mean by this?"
Zhang He said: "I should go to the Central Army in person, see the Jin doctor and report it. Your Majesty can summon the Third Division and Liang Wei Gongzi to report it. I would rather believe it is true, and be sure to assemble the army and be ready."
Lord Xinling said: "That's what you said, don't rely on him not to attack, just rely on me to have something that cannot be attacked."
After Zhang Zhuo left, Lord Xinling invited Mr. Liang Wei and the Third Division to tell him that the Qin people might secretly attack our army because the peace negotiation failed, and he concealed the content of Zeng Ji. The Third Division immediately strengthened its vigilance and sent out more scouts to patrol farther distances.
Soon, the Chinese military envoy sent an order to summon all the generals to discuss matters. Young Master Liang Wei and the Third Division went out of the city to listen to orders from the Chinese army.
Mr. Zhongyue strengthened the defense of the city, and Mr. Guo also sent out secret sentries to patrol overnight. Suddenly, the three divisions reported back, and Jin Bi's doctor made a plan. I should send more scouts and kill Qin's scouts on the way to frighten the enemy and closely monitor the Qin people's movements. After Mr. Liang Wei reported the matter, he immediately left the city and inspected the soldiers of each battalion. Each of the three divisions sent five ten-man teams to spread out to search for the Qin spies. They must go ten miles before returning; each soldier took turns and was not allowed to rest for a while.
Lord Xinling stayed up all night, and Xiao Nu and Gai Nie were also sitting by the door, keeping vigil with him.
When the rooster crows, the spies who sneaked into the rear of the Qin camp report back one after another. The Qin soldiers are all standing up, and their names are being called. Reporting later, the Qin people broke out of camp and came west. The final report showed that the Qin army coming from the west was about ten thousand people. After receiving the detective report, Zhang Ye also sent a military envoy to report the news to Doctor Jin Bi. The information discovered by other battalions was also collected one by one in the Chinese military tent.
Doctor Jin Bi was not in a hurry to prepare for battle. From the analysis of the reported situation, the Qin people seemed to want to reinforce the Qin army that was confronting Huayang City. Although the attack is fierce, it may not be able to form combat effectiveness immediately, so there is no need to form an array early and waste military power.
Early the next morning, the scouts came to report that there were enemies approaching and waiting in front of the camp. Doctor Jin Bi hurried to the front army, and saw a group of Qin troops two miles away looking over. The leader was standing on the car, and he could vaguely be seen climbing up Che Shi. Behind them, the dust rose, and a large number of troops were coming this way. Jin Bi secretly thought that something was wrong: General Qin dared to approach so closely to observe, so he must be a difficult opponent to deal with.
Jin Bi watched the Qin people slowly move from south to north along the Wei army camp. He also followed the Qin people quietly, observing where the Qin generals would stop and where they would pass by, thinking in his mind. He knew the possible plans of the Qin people and how he should deal with them.
Drums sounded normally in the Wei army camp, and all the troops came out to line up for roll call. The Qin people on the opposite side seemed to be observing Wei Jun's daily maneuvers with great interest, and they walked slower and slower. By the time the Qin people finished their patrol and turned around to leave, it was already broad daylight and the Wei army had finished their breakfast.
As a defender, one can certainly sit back and wait for work, but the downside is that it is difficult for him to adjust his deployment to deal with the ever-changing enemy situation; especially after many battles, the ditches and fortresses that have been continuously deepened and reinforced have fixed positions and are difficult to adjust.
He went through the plan in his mind again and felt confident to deal with various possible situations. So I returned to the Chinese Army with an uneasy feeling. After a quick meal, I took Mr. Xiaoma to the former army again to supervise the battle.
The front army has already beaten the war drums, and each battalion has come out to form a formation.
Once the drums are played, the formation is completed. Jin Bi ordered the middle camp to advance and personally beat the war drums in the camp. The whole battalion advanced a hundred paces, and the beat of the drums changed to that of the whole battalion, and then again the beat of the marching drums. After advancing three hundred steps, the Qin army was not seen coming out. Jin Bi, who was advancing with the flag and drum carriage, looked at the empty wilderness in front of him and shouted with all his strength: "Ha~!"
The whole battalion of soldiers also shouted "ha".
Jin Bi said loudly: "I'm here, where are you?"
The whole battalion of soldiers hit the ground with their halberds and let out a shout.
Jin Bi ordered: "Sit down!" The whole battalion of soldiers sat down together, and the flag and drum chariot standing behind the queue became taller and taller...
The Qin army did not come out. Jin Bi demonstrated for an hour and then personally raised the gold to withdraw his troops. During the retreat, he still formed his team every hundred steps and successfully brought the troops back to the camp.
All the soldiers in the army saw this scene, and a battalion of soldiers came out of the camp without fear; and returned smoothly. Everyone had a huge sense of accomplishment, and the feeling of being huddled in a hole and not daring to come forward was gone, replaced by a heroic feeling of "Who am I afraid of?" At the moment when the soldiers in the middle camp retreated into the camp, the whole army shouted in unison, and the cheers moved the ground.
