Doctor Xu Jia said: "When the king promised three cities, it was time for the young master to make an alliance with Qin. Qin would wait until Huayang's army dispersed before withdrawing. The king ordered his ministers to serve as two envoys. One brought a map to Han Yicheng and the other sent Hua to Hua on the king's order. Yang Minjun. Fortunately, it fulfilled its mission. Hu Yang, Qin's guest minister, came to Huayang in person. On the one hand, he supervised the dispatch of Huayang's troops, and on the other hand, he showed that he had no intention of invading. Our army gradually unsealed the seal, and Huayang surrendered to the Korean army. But why is Han holding the title of Qin's tail and falling for Qin? When General Baoyuan enters Qifeng, I have nothing to do with him. General Bao's words are unclear. It seems that Han's army came out to take the city donated by Wei and meet Qin."
Mang Mao said: "If it weren't for the greed of Han, our city would have been conquered. How could we have been defeated like this!"
Lord Xinling said: "No. From what I heard, Qin was lying under Mang Mountain. He had a plan and it was not a sudden encounter!"
Dr. Xu Jia also said: "That's what your Majesty said. Mr. Zheng personally saw that all the Qin people were hiding in the forests of Mang Mountain, and no one knew about it for a day and night. This must have been planned for a long time! If he had known that Han was going to attack!"
Lord Xinling said: "Our allies don't know about the violent general coming out of Huayang, so how can Qin know about it? How can Qin ambush and attack him even if he knows about it? There must be suspicion!"
Mang Mao complimented: "Your Majesty has two doubts, and he is right to the point. He is the best in the world! If you consult the Bao family, you will definitely know who he is."
After chatting for a long time, everyone felt it was difficult to support themselves, so they each found a corner in the palace and fell asleep. Then it was morning time.
A few people adjusted their attire slightly, reported to the court room, and chatted with the officials. It has been a long time since I saw Lord Xinling and Dr. Xu Jia. The officials were very enthusiastic and they responded enthusiastically one by one.
Mang Mao had the largest number of people around him. Everyone knew that the Qin people had invaded the country, but they still had no idea where they had gone. Mang Mao was unwilling to make the situation too serious. He only said that the Qin people were only inside and outside the Great Wall, and there were no police inside. It sounds like the Qin people haven't entered the Great Wall yet.
Long Yangjun came out to announce that King Wei was ill and the morning court was cancelled. All things done by the outsiders are under the orders of the general! After everyone greeted Mang Mao one after another, they gradually dispersed.
Liangxi's civilian army did not set off until dawn, and the military soldiers transferred back from Kaifeng had to wait until after breakfast. Even Duan Zigan had no sense of urgency. It was almost noon before he prepared ten carts of tribute and left the city for the Great Wall. Come.
After the morning court, Wei Qi presided over Duan Zigan's mission ceremony and went home to rest. Seeing that nothing happened all night, Dr. Xu Jia also went home. In the end, only Lord Xinling, who was "in charge of major affairs", and General Mangmao, who was "in charge of everything outside", were left. Lord Xinling said to Mang Mao: "I will accept the general's order!" Mang Mao even responded, "How dare you".
According to the instructions of King Wei, military affairs should be planned in Mang Mansion. But now that Lord Xinling was there, Mang Mao felt that it was not easy for Mr. Wei to go to his home in a remote alley to discuss matters, so he discussed with Lord Xinling and decided to set up a general shogunate in Daliang Gate. Please ask the servant to tell the king of Wei that a room should be cleared in the private school at Daliangmen and used as the general's office. We usually go home separately, but when we have something to discuss, we gather here together. Lord Xinling said: "I sincerely accept you!"
After Mangmao left, Lord Xinling lived in the palace and felt that there was no difference between going home and staying at Daliangmen, so he informed his elders to send a few books to the Daliangmen private school so that he could watch his own business. He also sent the meals to Daliangmen. For a time, the news that Lord Xinling was in charge of Daliang Gate spread like wildfire. When Wei Qi heard about this, he immediately rushed over to accompany him. Lord Xinling said no and asked him to go home. How could Wei Qi be willing? Not long after, the King of Wei also knew about it and sent Lord Longyang to greet him. He also gave Lord Xinling a few talismans to enter the Daliang Gate, so that Lord Xinling could recruit up to three retainers. Lord Xinling immediately expressed his infinite gratitude to the king for his special favor. With the help of the disciples, I feel more confident. Seeing that the King of Wei had granted the Lord Xinling's disciples access to Daliang Gate, Wei Qi no longer insisted on accompanying him, so he said goodbye and left.
Lord Xinling asked his servant to take the Festival Talisman back to his house and give it to his family elders. He also asked three gentlemen to come to Daliang Gate to help. Naturally, the family elder first informed Mr. Zhang Ye and Mr. Zhong Yue that these were Lord Xinling’s left and right arms. The third gentleman left it to Zhang and He to decide. After discussing it, the two decided to take Chen Si with them who had not yet returned home. Chen Si is young and shrewd, with outstanding abilities. It is very convenient for him to communicate things internally and externally. Several core disciples were notified to gather at Mr. Wei's house, and they would be there if anything happens.
When the three of them arrived at Daliang Gate, military intelligence arrived from the center of the city: the sentinels in the city discovered that the Qin people were not currently attacking Putian and Cangcheng; the military envoys sent by Putian arrived in the city, and the defenders of Cangcheng were insufficient. , requesting reinforcements. Lord Xinling immediately ordered him to be sent to Mang Mansion to report to the general.
When Mang Mao came to Daliang Gate, he was surprised to see three outsiders present. Zhang Yue and Mr. Zhongyue both knew each other and knew that they were the retainers of Lord Xinling. There was also a little kid. I didn’t know who it was, but since Being able to enter Daliangmen is naturally not an ordinary role. Mang Mao couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in his heart: his son was not qualified to enter Daliang Gate, let alone a retainer; but Mr. Wei's retainers, including a child, could come and go at will! He could only suppress this sadness in his heart, and did not show it on his face at all. Instead, he greeted Mr. Zhang Ye and Zhong Yue warmly, and kindly said to Chen Si that it was rare.
Chen Si naturally knew that the man in front of him was a popular big shot in Wei State, so he quickly informed him of his identity: he was a commoner on errands for the emperor.
Lord Xinling said: "Zinai was recommended by Mr. Che of General Mansion!"
Mang Mao remembered it immediately and said, "I dare you to be Fourth Brother Chen!"
Chen Si quickly responded: "I don't dare, I'm a humble Chen Si."
Mang Mao said: "Sure enough, this young man is a talented person!"
Lord Xinling brought the topic back to the topic and said, "Putian is in an emergency, what is the general's plan?"
Mang Mao said: "Cangcheng is an important place in the country, and no one else can enter it. Even if there are soldiers, they cannot be used. In my opinion, I will send my troops forward to meet the Qin people without fighting. The Qin people will not fight." If you dare to attack the city with all your strength, the city can be conquered."
Lord Xinling said: "The boy is ignorant and has little knowledge. It all depends on the general's planning."
Mang Mao went to the signing room next to him and issued the first order of the day. The slips representing the edict of King Wei were then sent to the prison by the minister.
At night, Duan Ziqian rushed back to Daliang, nervously met with Wei Qi first, and then went to Daliang Gate for business. Mang Mao and Wei Qi also came to Daliangmen to listen to Duan Ziqian's report with Lord Xinling.
The first sentence Duan Ziqian said was: "We are all trapped by Han Wei!" He choked up and lost his voice. The others looked at him, waiting for him to calm down.
Duan Ziqian calmed down for a while and said: "I went to Qin's camp, offered my sincere gift, and blamed Qin for breaking his promise. Marquis Rang scolded Wei for betraying the alliance and collaborating. There is nothing wrong with this matter. Marquis Rang said it, and the Han people said it. How can it be done? Is this a lie? Han and Wei allied to attack Qin together. Although Qin retreated, Han advanced to attack Qin. After sneaking up on Qin, he didn't want to attack Qin! Even if I say a thousand words, it's hard to argue!"
No one here expected that this would be the result: the Qin people falsely accused the Wei people of betraying the alliance, but Wei was speechless! You can’t say that Han Jun’s actions have nothing to do with you!
In the midst of embarrassment, the minister came back and received the reply from Doctor Jin Bi: The center of the village is only thirty miles away from the garden, and the closest to the Qin camp is only twenty miles. If the general needs to attack Qin, I will send troops immediately - but not Moving camp is close!
This makes Mang Mao even more embarrassed...
Lord Xinling sent his assistant away and quickly interrupted: "Wei's diplomacy has been entrusted with Doctor Xu Jia many times. Now that Duanzi has been reinstated, it's hard to do anything between people. You can ask Doctor Xu Jia for advice!"
Lord Xinling's suggestion was approved by everyone, including Duan Ziqian. So he sent for Dr. Xu Jia.
When Dr. Xu Jia arrived, he asked Duan Ziqian about his mission, and then said: "Qin is greedy. Having captured the Korean army, it wants to return to Wei City. It is a false threat in order to gain profit. Why did Duan Ziqian return?"
Duan Ziqian said: "I will report my words to the king!"
Dr. Xu Jia said: "If Duanzi comes back, you can tell Marquis Rang. If Marquis Rang is suspicious, the king will sacrifice jade and silk to release it! But you can see what he wants."
Duan Ziqian said: "The king has not sacrificed anything, so how dare I say anything!"
Dr. Xu Jia secretly shook his head and said: "If you say that you will sacrifice jade and silk, Qin will not allow it and will double it. If you take advantage of the situation and blame it, what does it have to do with the king!"
Everyone was impressed by this clever negotiation skill and smiled knowingly.
Mr. Zhongyue said in the midst of laughter: "Now that the misfortune of Duanzi has been solved, we can prepare plans for Qin's affairs!"
Duan Ziqian completely relaxed this time and felt that his mission had not failed. He no longer felt frustrated and had confidence, so he naturally organized his memory to the advantageous aspect and said: "I entered the Qin camp with ten carts. He is the envoy of the King of Wei. After inspecting the festival talisman, he will be led to the central army to meet Marquis Rang."
Mr. Zhongyue asked further: "Is Hu Yang on his side?"
Duan Ziqian said: "Marquis Rang and Hu Qing met together. Hu Qing said, I and Qin all know Duan Zi as a gentleman. He must be true to his word, so he promised to make an alliance. How can he break his promise and destroy the alliance? I replied, those who destroy the alliance are not Wei Ye, who entered the Wei territory, why not Qin? We swore an alliance in the front and invaded the territory behind, how could it be done by a gentleman! Hu Qing said, Wei secretly ambushed the Han army in Huayang, but we did not notice it. If it were not for Marquis Rang's insight, He was almost harmed. There are still 40,000 Han-level soldiers here, so what else can I say? When I heard this, I sweated like rain and couldn't answer."
Xu Jia said: "It can be said that Huayang is the city of Han, and Wei temporarily took over to garrison troops. Now that the soldiers have dispersed, Huayang has returned to Han. It is not something Wei can know."
Duanzi said: "I also said that Han's advance was not known to Wei, so how can we blame it on Wei? Hu Qing said clearly, how could Duanzi deceive him! The reason for the Han army's attack was not due to Wei's repeated request for help! Qin and Wei's In peace, Wei still refuses to retreat from Korean reinforcements. It is an alliance between the Ming Dynasty and Qin Dynasty, and secretly attacks with troops - this is a breach of trust! I have nothing to say in reply."
Wei Qi said bitterly: "If Han listens to Wei's words and retreats, why should he bother Dr. Jia to go back and forth? King Wei will lose three more cities!"
Dr. Xu Jia said: "Zi Keyan, Wei and Han's aid is in front of the alliance. When a big country commits a crime, a small country has to sue its neighboring countries for help. When a big country surrenders to an alliance, a small country is happy to avoid death, so Promise an alliance. Neighboring countries do not care about small countries, and it is beyond the power of small countries!"
Duan Ziqian said: "I also said that Wei also made an alliance with Han and the three cities to express gratitude and help, not to seek Qin. Hu Qing suddenly changed his color and said, I will give Han three cities all the territory of Qin, how dare you argue?"
At this time, the three people present were shocked and said in unison: "What do you mean?"
