When entering the Guan territory along the river, the first thing that appears is Guanyi, where the Guan people live. Now the four doors are wide open.
Everyone entered and got into several houses. Most of the houses were empty. Only a few houses had one or two old people who were deaf and dazzled.
Wei Ran asked Hu Yang, "If Hu Qing enters the city, there will be very few people who can be known to Wei!"
Hu Yang said: "When I first entered, I saw the four gates wide open. I expected that there would be no one there. So I was able to enter. The city is full. Fortunately, there is enough excrement and urine, so no one knows about it."
Wei Ran and others climbed up to the city to take a look. They had a panoramic view of the Great Wall to the east and the abandoned city to the west. Although the other side of the river in the north had been burnt, weeds were already growing; only part of the land had been reclaimed into acres, and the grains had been harvested.
Wei Ran said to Han Ping: "This is what Wei has extended, but Han cannot reach it."
Han Ping was dissatisfied and said: "Guanyi is close to Huayang and Xingyang. If we hadn't kept our promise, we would have fallen into the Han bag long ago." Duan Ziqian only listened but could not hear.
Everyone walked around the city, but there was neither a market nor merchants. They were all houses of varying heights and sizes, and the families were poor in wealth, revealing an aura of decline. Except for Duan Zigan, all the envoys were in charge of civil affairs in various countries. Everyone felt that it would be very difficult to expand such a township to fifty miles unless extraordinary measures were taken, such as amnesty for criminals.
After turning around, everyone came out and headed straight for the abandoned city. After crossing the bridge, they unexpectedly discovered that four people dressed as warriors were standing neatly outside the south gate of the abandoned city. Although their faces were haggard, dusty, and thin, their heroic spirit was not diminished.
In order to avoid misunderstanding, Duan Ziqian hurried forward and showed Wang Jie. The leader inspected it and saluted: "Guan Ling Zheng Anping, guard Guan Yi carefully and don't dare to make any mistakes!"
Duan Ziqian was afraid that these ignorant warriors would say some ignorant words and disturb the atmosphere of the peace talks, so he ordered: "Envoys from various countries are wandering around in charge of their country's homeland, paying homage to the ancients. You can be on guard on all sides and don't disturb others." enter."
Zheng Anping replied: "Here!" He waved and the four of them dispersed, making way for the south gate. When a group of people enters, four people follow behind them at a distance of more than ten steps; sometimes two people are sent to speed up the pace to clear the way for everyone.
The performance of the four is so eye-catching that it is impossible to ignore them. Wei Ran finally couldn't help it and asked Duan Ziqian: "Are they all Wei soldiers?"
Duan Ziqian replied: "They are all soldiers of the Wei Dynasty. They were promoted to nobility due to their merit and moved to Guanyi."
Han Ping said: "If you use military soldiers as the commander of the city, Wei Qi will break the promise!"
Wei Ran and Lin Xiangru both looked at Han Ping with strange eyes. Could it be that Prime Minister Han only saw the soldiers entering Guanyi? When Han Ping saw Wei Ran staring at him, he stopped talking.
Wei Ran said: "I think Guan Ling is very virtuous, and I would like to talk to him. Can he get it?"
Duan Ziqian had no choice but to order: "Guan Ling comes to see you!" The followers around him shouted louder and louder.
Zheng Anping heard the call from inside. Although he was surprised, he did not dare to delay and trotted into the circle. The followers around shouted: "Release the troops!" Zheng Anping looked at Duan Ziqian and saw that he had no reaction, so he put down the halberd in his hand, took off the crossbow and quiver, entered with only his leather armor, saluted Duan Zi, and said : "Guan Ling Zheng Anping was ordered to appear in court!"
Duan Ziqian pointed at Wei Ran and others and said: "This is Qin's Prime Minister Ranghou, this is Qin's general Wu Anjun, this is Qin Qing, this is Zhao Shangqing, this is Han's prime minister, they are all public ministers, generals and ministers, so I can reply!"
Zheng Anping saluted everyone and said: "Zheng Anping would like to express my gratitude to all the public security officials!"
Wei Ran said: "When will the order come here?"
Zheng Anping said: "I received the order yesterday and will arrive in the city this year!"
Wei Ran said: "I'm one year old now. Where are all the people in charge now?"
Zheng Anping said: "Although all the people have entered the city, the ministers who stayed behind are on the lookout!"
Wei Ran said: "When will the people in charge enter the city?"
Zheng Anping said: "About the end of September, when the Zhao army entered Xingyang, they were ordered to move all the people in charge into the city."
Wei Ran did the math and said: "There is something strange in February!"
Zheng Anping said: "Lying in the wilderness, I don't know the years."
Hu Yang said: "Do you want to do all the work in February in Guanyi?"
Zheng Anping said: "Don't dare to slack off!"
Hu Yang said: "Did you know that the Qin army entered the capital?"
Zheng Anping said: "Of course. Yu Chen reported to the city guards."
Hu Yang said: "How do you know?"
Zheng Anping said: "More than ten days ago, I heard that a large army was rolling towards the ground at night. I was startled and looked at it. I saw that they had all entered Guanyi, and there were about ten thousand people. They pulled out all the troops the next night and marched north. I and others found out the truth. , then went to the Great Wall and reported to the guard."
Hu Yang said: "It's night, where are you hiding?"
Zheng Anping said: "The Qin people were searching very urgently, so they hid in no fixed place and moved according to their feelings."
Bai Qi said: "What a good man! On the day of the night battle, where is your order?"
Zheng Anping said: "Here he is too. He kept shouting and wailing all night, and he couldn't win!"
Bai Qi asked, "Have any defeated troops arrived?"
Zheng Anping said: "The city is surrounded by a river, and there are no broken troops."
Everyone climbed up and looked far away, and they saw that the city was surrounded by two rivers, and there were not many corpses in the wilderness in the distance. Wei Ran slightly realized that this area is generally within the scope of the Qin camp. If anyone escapes, they should go to Nanguan. There will be almost no broken troops to meet the Qin camp. Despite this, he still had a good impression of the current soldiers who witnessed the brutality of the fierce battle that day but still fought to the death. You know, fear can crush people to death!
Everyone walked around and saw that the city was still green and lush, but the several official residences built were also very solemn. Wei Ran said to several envoys: "The time is almost over, let's go to the post house and tell you!"
Everyone didn't know what Wei Ran meant, but they all agreed. Zheng Anping was not asked to step down and followed everyone to the post house.
Entering the main hall of the post house, there are no seats or tables. Everyone called Zheng Anping, and Zheng Anping said: "When Guan Yi was founded, he was unprepared for everything. If you dare, please use mosses to do it."
After getting permission, Zheng Anping went out and asked several soldiers to bring straw and spread it one by one for these people: naturally there were all the envoys in the hall, the three people from Qin were the hosts, the envoys from the three Jin Dynasties sat on the west table, and in the courtyard were the entourage. They were seated in four carriages and brought out forty people. Although they appeared harmonious, they all kept a close eye on each other, fearing that they would be tampered with without even catching a glance. Han Ping ordered people to bring in all the wine and meat from the baggage, and divided them evenly in the courtyard. There was a cauldron in the post house, and he lit a fire in the courtyard. Instead of using river water, he used the clean water he brought and added salt, plums, sage and ginger. Waiting for food, the meat is cooked hot. There were two people from each side in the four directions, busy beside the cauldron. Watch each other's cooking, dividing, and serving actions vigilantly, not giving anyone an opportunity to take advantage of them. Finally, it was served, and everyone tasted the soup tacitly to show that it was not poisonous.
The people of the three Jin Dynasties had one set of utensils for each person, but only the people of Qin had three sets of utensils for each person. The people of Qin wanted to change the table to a larger table, but the three Jin Dynasties did not agree. However, the two people of Qin could not serve three dishes at once. The Qin people temporarily added one person, and the three Jins did not allow it. The Qin people decided to serve the food in two times, but the Qin people firmly disagreed. In the end, it was Zhao Hao from the State of Zhao who came out to smooth things over and asked Zheng Anping to submit a case. Because Zheng Anping was neither a native of Qin nor a governor, he was not among the envoys. Finally everyone agreed.
So here, six people entered the hall with three cases and put them down on the Jin side; on the other side, three people held three cases, one of whom was a soldier of Wei Wu, and put them down on the Qin side.
Seeing Zheng Anping come in again, Bai Qi asked casually: "Dare you ask Guanling He's family?"
Zheng Anping said: "Your Majesty Zheng Anping."
Duan Ziqian and Han Ping asked at the same time: "Who is Gai Zheng?"
Zheng Anping said: "Of course."
Bai Qi said: "How rare it is for a Zheng man to achieve such great stature as being in charge of an order!"
Han Ping asked: "Where do you go home?"
Zheng Anping said: "The Prime Minister of Han must not know about Zheng's partial town."
After all the followers had retired, Wei Ran raised his chopsticks and said: "Inheriting the great virtues of Prime Minister Han and the kindness of Duanzi, we all gathered together to take charge of it. The person who wants to take charge of the lord is the son of King Wen, and the brother of King Wu will die and the country will be destroyed. I would rather not be sad." ! In the world, there are two out of seventy feudal states. Where are they now? But Beiyan and Wei'er! The king of Zhou moved eastward. Although he had many tyrants, it was difficult to prosper. Now he divides the east and the west and attacks from his own direction. These are all in the world. The power is from its beginning, who knows its end. When the emperor moved eastward, he made an appointment with Qin Xianggong and said: The Rong has no way and invades our Qi and Feng lands. If Qin can attack and drive away the Rong, he will have the land. Five hundred More than a year has passed. At that time, Qin's army was no more than a thousand, and the land was no more than a hundred miles. In only twenty years, he drove away the Rong, and got his own land. What a blessing! When he arrived at Duke Mu, he welcomed his wife to Jin, and got concubines. Baili Xi and Uncle Jian; Duke Hui of Jin Yiwu and Duke Wen of Jin Chong'er were all established by Qin, and their wives were pregnant with their son Yu. Qin and Jin were fond of each other. Afterwards, both Qin and Jin were in chaos, and Jin was divided into three. Yesterday's Looking at the present, how can it be regarded as true? Chaos is unpredictable, and grievances and hatreds change. Now I wish to use the story of Duke Mu to be in harmony with Jin, to rule the world together, and to share peace."
After hearing Wei Ran's long speech, the three of them held chopsticks in their hands, not knowing how to respond, and were stunned for a moment.
Lin Xiangru said: "In the past, the King of Qin's pledge was to Yan Ye. When King Wu died, the Qin State was in chaos. Our former king helped the King of Qin to establish himself, and then decided the government of Qin. This is known to everyone. The King of Qin invited He's Bi Ye with fifteen cities, and the King of Zhao He bathed and fasted for three days before sending him off, but the King of Qin took it lightly and passed it on to the harem to show the woman that she had no intention of dedicating the city. You must not be deceived! Now the King of Qin has used Ranghou again to seek peace with Jin. How could Jin know that King Qin Is it sincerity, not deception?"
After hearing what Lin Xiangru said, the others felt a little worried and looked at Wei Ran. Unexpectedly, Wei Ran was not annoyed, but smiled slightly and said: "What you said, I know personally, is not what you said. When the king heard that Zhao Dehe's jade was brought to Chu, he admired it very much, and was willing to give it to him. Fifteen cities were changed. Why? The Empress Dowager loved her. The Empress Dowager, a native of Chu, admired the name of He's Bi for a long time, but could not see it. Perhaps she asked the King of Chu to give it to him, but the King of Chu rebuked her and refused. Chu refused to give to Qin but gave to Zhao. Qin knew that his virtue was weak and could not trust Chu, so he regained the trust of Zhao, so he was willing to change it with fifteen cities. When the minister arrived with his jade, the king sent it to the harem to show that the queen mother was not the queen. Dare to take it lightly. However, Shangqing got angry and returned with the jade, which really deceived my king. Wang Nian did not gain your trust and wanted to cultivate his virtue. He met with King Zhao again in Mianchi. Shangqing pressed him again and again. , pointed the sword at my king again, and all the ministers here were indignant. My king never said a word to blame. He made an alliance with the king of Zhao and returned. My king is well aware of his weak virtues, and he must reflect on himself and repair his virtues. This is the meaning of it. Your Majesty still thinks that the king is a deceiver and a sincere thief."
