Duan Ziqian, who returned from his mission to the Qin camp, was frightened and uncertain at first, and his words were unclear. Fortunately, Dr. Xu Jia helped to make plans and calm down his mind. Mr. Zhongyue took the opportunity to ask Duan Ziqian to prepare a statement to persuade Qin, but Duan Ziqian said it. Hu Yang, Qin's guest minister, repeatedly rebuked Wei for betraying the Qin alliance, and was determined to ask Wei for an explanation, and presented three pieces of evidence: First, the Koreans The dispatch of troops from Huayang, where the Wei army was stationed, was obviously a conspiracy between Han and Wei; secondly, the Koreans sent out in response to Wei's request to aid Wei and resist Qin. Since Wei was in alliance with Qin, it should withdraw its request for aid; thirdly, the king of Wei The three cities of Xu and Han are all in Qin!
Although there were some discrepancies with the first two, they were still true. The third one shocked everyone. How could the King of Wei promise the three cities of Qin to Han? Han won’t agree either!
Duan Zigan's answer shocked everyone: "Hu Yangyan, the three cities Wei gave to Han were among the eight cities given to Qin..."
Lord Xinling asked: "If you give eight cities to Qin, Duan Zi knows them all. If you give three cities to Han, do you know Duan Zi?"
Duan Ziqian said: "Hu Qing showed the picture, but he didn't take a close look at it, but when he looked at it, it seemed that there was no difference. This is why I can't explain it!"
Everyone fell silent again. Xu Jia said: "The eight cities of Qin and three cities of Han were left behind. They were all approved by the king. How can there be any difference?"
Only Lord Xinling knew in his heart that this was probably King Wei playing a trick and tricking himself into it, but he couldn't say it clearly, so he had to ask Dr. Xu Jia again: "If it is true, what will the general do?"
Xu Jia said: "I would like to return to the Qin camp with Duanzi and tell Marquis Rang to withdraw his troops!"
Mang Mao said: "If the song is with me, how can Marquis Rang retreat so easily?"
Xu Jia said: "If we don't cede the land, it might be difficult. If we cede the land, we can only cut eight cities. What's the point?"
Lord Xinling said: "At first we promised to cut off ten cities of Qin, but now there are only eight cities. What will happen if there are two more cities?"
Duan Ziqian said: "The king promised Qin five cities at the beginning, and later increased it to eight cities. The so-called ten cities were all pointed out by Qin, and they were not what we and Wei could do. Later Qin destroyed two cities by itself, and the king also pointed out eight cities in the border areas. All of them are places where the land is poor and the people are scarce."
Lord Xinling said: "If the king promises two more cities, will you tell Marquis Rang to withdraw his troops?"
Duan Ziqian said: "The former was in Qifeng, and also gave eight cities, so Qin is retreating. Now that we have entered the nursery, we would rather retreat with two cities!" Dr. Xu Jia also nodded silently in his heart. Only two cities were allowed, which may not be able to achieve the purpose of letting Marquis Rang retreat. .
But if more cities are ceded to Wei, it will be a nerve-wracking matter for Wei, and everyone is undecided. So things reached a deadlock.
In the silence, Chen Si, who was sitting at the bottom, suddenly spoke up and said: "There is a Mr. Che in the general's mansion who is an intelligent debater. You can consult him!"
After hearing this, Lord Xinling immediately smiled and said: "It's not what the fourth brother said, I almost forgot about it. Mr. Che went to unsealing alone. He is bolder than others, and he will definitely see something!"
Mang Mao said: "Mr. Che, you are a commoner, how dare you enter the palace gate!"
Lord Xinling said: "I don't care about you! I would like to go to your residence in person to pay my respects and go to the palace with you."
Mang Mao said: "How dare you work for the young master? I will go to recruit him personally, and the young master's order will be at my door!"
Since Mr. Cheyou was a retainer of Mang Mansion, Mang Mao wanted to pick him up in person. Lord Xinling could not insist anymore, so he had to say: "How can you feel at ease if you look down on the talented?"
Mang Mao said, "Young Master, please wait a moment!" He left Daliang Gate, got in the car and rushed home to ask for Mr. Che You. Lord Xinling thought for a while and said: "It is not the way to respect the virtuous. Waiting alone outside the door!" He stood up and went to the door to greet him. Everyone advised: "As soon as he arrives, it is enough to introduce him personally!"
Lord Xinling said: "I don't want to do that! Mr. Che is a virtuous person. If you want to be taught by him, how can you be disrespectful? I am willing to treat him with sincerity!" Persevere. The two doormen and Chen Si naturally followed. The remaining people were too embarrassed to stay in the room any longer, so they had to come out together. Wei Qi ordered the guards of Daliang to light torches and spread the warning, so that no one could approach. The four most powerful people in the Wei Dynasty, plus two retainers and an alternate soldier, stood at the most solemn Daliang Gate in the Wei Kingdom with their hands lowered, waiting respectfully.
Mangmao's car came back soon. When I saw this formation outside Daliang Gate, I knew that Lord Xinling's son had lost his temper again, so I quickly stopped the car at a distance, and strode towards Daliang Gate with Mr. Che You.
Lord Xinling saw it and came forward to greet him early. When he came closer twice, Lord Xinling bowed and said, "I have not listened to Sir's teachings for a long time!"
Mr. Che You quickly stepped aside, not daring to accept the courtesy. Mang Mao saluted and said, "I have been ordered to summon the driver to arrive!"
Lord Xinling said: "Sir, you are virtuous, and I would like to enlighten you from ignorance!"
Mr. Cheyou said: "I don't dare, but I am willing to do my best to repay the Lord's kindness!"
Under Lord Xinling's bow, a group of people, headed by Mr. Che You, advanced towards Daliang Gate. Mr. Che You initially refused, but Mang Mao knew that if he upset Mr. Xinling, he would probably be unhappy that night, so he said, "I'm just following my orders!" Then Mr. Che You walked up to the front.
With such a group of people following behind, the guard at Daliang would naturally not stop them, and the group of people went straight into the private room.
The school room is not a place that pays attention to etiquette, so everyone sits down casually, but they also follow their own positions: Lord Xinling's disciples sit with Lord Xinling, Mang Mao and Mr. Che sit together, Wei Qi sits with Duan Ziqian and Xu Jia sit together.
After sitting down, Lord Xinling first paid tribute to Mang Mao, and then said to Mr. Cheyou: "I have doubts now, and I am asking for help from the wise and I am willing to learn from you!"
Mr. Che You said: "If you have little virtue and little talent, you may not be able to live up to the expectations of a young master!"
Lord Xinling signaled Duan Ziqian to introduce the situation. Duan Ziqian said: "I was envoyed to Qin by the king's order, and negotiated an alliance between the prince and Ranghou. The king presented eight cities, and the Qin army retreated. Everyone knows this. When the Qin people retreated to Mang Mountain, the Koreans pursued them, and then they Qin fell, and Han's army was completely wiped out! Qin, with the momentum of victory, entered my farmland and strangled my life. I was ordered by the king to send an envoy to Qin, accusing Qin of betraying the alliance. Qin said that it was true that Wei betrayed the alliance, not Qin. Why? So? When Han left Huayang, he was the residence of Wei, and Han and Wei conspired together for one thing; Han responded to Wei's request to attack Qin, and Han and Wei conspired for two things; Wei offered the city of Qin, and made a secret promise to Han, and Han and Wei conspired for three things. I am incompetent, I am speechless. I would like to teach you sir!"
Mr. Cheyou said hoarsely: "This is what the saying goes: a gentleman bullies others! Qin people bully their children, and they also suffer!"
Duan Ziqian was a little dissatisfied and said, "Mr. Ru, what should I say in response?"
Mr. Cheyou said: "Everything you say is false!"
Duan Ziqian asked: "The Koreans left Huayang in Wei?"
Mr. Cheyou said: "Huayang is the capital of Han Dynasty; when Wei abandoned it, Han Nai came out!"
Duan Ziqian said: "Wei and Qin are allied, why should we let Han attack Qin?"
Mr. Cheyou said: "My husband, Wei and Qin are allied with each other, and everyone in the world knows it! If Han attacks Qin, how can Wei get a plan?"
Duan Ziqian said: "How can I offer the city of Qin to Han Yan in return?"
Mr. Cheyou said: "Wei offers the city to Qin, which is an alliance! Offering the city to Han, which one? How could Wei hate the city so much?"
Duan Ziqian asked questions step by step, and Mr. Cheyou answered them one by one without thinking. Everyone was shocked. Duan Ziqian cupped his hands and said, "Sir, you are so talented, I am not as good as me."
Mr. Cheyou said: "It's not difficult to respond with words, it's difficult to retreat from the enemy! When Qin invades Wei, how can he argue with his son about right and wrong? Is it also about seeking profit?"
Duan Ziqian said: "Qin people are greedy and greedy people. How can they know right from wrong? They must be sharp!"
Mr. Cheyou said: "What do the people of Qin benefit from?"
Duan Ziqian said: "I want to return to the country to report to the king, but I really don't know the benefits of Qin."
Mr. Cheyou said: "This is easy to know! Duanzi has entered the camp with ten carts. Now he has brought a book, prepared a book, sacrificed jade, silk and other items. When he entered the camp, he told him that the king knew that Qin was suspicious of Wei's betrayal of the alliance. Wei is willing to offer this. Don't betray it if you keep it clear! Qin will definitely take advantage of it, and Mr. Xiang will take advantage of it. Again, the request from the king is very important, and I dare not act alone. I am willing to ask the king!"
Doctor Xu Jia said: "Sir, he is a very talented man, so his strategy must be implemented!"
Lord Xinling said: "In your opinion, sir, what are the benefits to Qin?"
Mr. Cheyou said: "But if you take the earth's ear, how can you have him!"
Lord Xinling said: "I am just cutting eight cities, and I want the land of Wei. I would rather not be greedy!"
Mr. Cheyou said: "It's a pity that Qin took advantage of it! The eight towns with Qin are all small towns on the border, with poor land and few people. If you want to have a big city, you will be safe."
Lord Xinling asked very sensitively: "Sir, what do you mean by Qin?"
Mr. Cheyou said: "I have heard from the officials that when Qin attacked the violent kite, it was planned to set up an ambush, cleverly implemented strategies, and made mistakes in many ways, so that it could achieve what it wanted. How could it have been achieved without careful consideration! How could it have been achieved without being blinded by greed and covetousness? Get into trouble!"
Lord Xinling said: "The Qin people are deliberate and sincere. What do you mean by the greed of the Wei people?"
Mr. Cheyou saluted and said: "Don't blame me! Your Majesty, I am a humble concubine who speaks nonsense! It is not only Wei, but also Korea!"
Lord Xinling said: "I just wanted to hear Sir's eloquent remarks to make up for my fault, so why should I be surprised? Sir, please don't hide anything!"
Mr. Cheyou said: "To offer Qin's city to Han, is this not the greed of Wei? Knowing that Qin is retreating, still sneaking behind it in order to succeed, is it not the greed of Han? If Wei does not fail Han, Han will not By bullying Qin, how can we achieve this defeat and lose our land?"
This analysis silenced everyone present. After a moment of silence, Lord Xinling said: "Qin Jian came here, proudly approached the city, and left proudly. He would rather regard our Wei as a deserted land! Although I don't know about the violent general's sneak attack on Qin, I know it and must With Yan!"
Mr. Cheyou said: "People often don't know what they have, and seek what they don't get. This is called stupidity!" He looked at the sky and kept silent. Mang Mao winked repeatedly, but Mr. Che You didn't see him.
After waiting for a while, Lord Xinling said: "This is what you taught me. If you don't know your own shortcomings and don't know the strengths of others, how can you achieve anything by talking nonsense and avenging shame? This is called stupidity!"
After a while, when everyone was speechless, Lord Xinling said: "Sir, I can't repay you for your hard work. As soon as the war breaks down, I will go to the house to express my thanks!"
Mr. Che You said, "How dare you, a humble concubine!" He stood up and left. Seeing that Mr. Che You was also having a bad temper, Mang Mao hurriedly bowed to Lord Xinling and went out to catch up with Mr. Che You to comfort him!
Lord Xinling felt very uncomfortable when he saw Mr. Cheyou leaving rudely. Wei Qi saw Lord Xinling's embarrassment and interrupted: "What Mr. Che said is true for both jokes and officials! When I go to the Qin camp the next day, I can act as planned!"
Duan Ziqian was very dissatisfied and said: "I have disgraced my mission. I would like to be like a doctor and seek growth!"
Doctor Xu Jia said: "The discussion with Qin is all due to Duanzi. Duanzi must be able to subdue Qin's will, so what should I do!"
