Zheng Anping felt a little strange when he saw Xiaosi being so indignant and depressed: In the past, Xiaosi was the most carefree person. When did he become so worried about the country and the people?
Chen Sidao: "Fourth brother, please don't be angry. When I served as the Yi Gate Guard, I was initially serving as a military soldier. Later, when I returned to serve Brother Zheng, it was because the Yi Gate Guard informed me that the military soldier would be deposed and I would not be re-elected."
Xiao Si raised his eyebrows in surprise and said, "Did Yimen Guards know that the military soldiers were about to be abolished? I haven't visited Yimen Guards for a long time, and it's difficult to find out the results. Why did they abolish them?"
Chen Sidao: "I heard that the land in Wei is small and the people are common, and it is difficult to find land. The military soldiers have not been selected for several years. In the past, they could only make up for their old diseases. Now, they have repeatedly lost their troops. They will make up more than ten thousand people, and they need thousands of fertile fields. .Brother, what are you thinking about? There are thousands of hectares of wasteland in the territory of Wei?"
Xiao Si said: "Outside Guanyi City, there are fifty miles of wilderness, not only ten thousand hectares?"
Zheng Anping said: "The reasons for abandoning wasteland in Guan Yi are not due to lack of people's strength. Within the Great Wall, there are many people but few fields, and the talents are twenty or thirty acres. It is difficult to find food. This is because Brother Dog abandoned his hometown. Therefore, those who do not cultivate land will be divided between Han and Wei. , Don’t give in! If we resort to military force, there will be war between Han and Wei!"
Xiao Si said: "The country has no elite soldiers. Even if there are elite soldiers but there is no way to support them, this is the way to defeat."
Zheng Anping and Chen Si saw that Xiao Si was indignant about King Wei's abandonment of the soldiers, and they didn't know how to comfort them for a while. At this time, the stranger asked: "In my opinion, what should Wei do?"
Xiaosi said: "Maybe you can gather your remaining strength and fight bravely, but if you get thousands of hectares of land, you can recruit soldiers, refine them and sharpen them, and then fight them again. The number of soldiers does not need to be limited to fifty thousand. We must gather all the warriors from all over the world and march them into the middle of Wei. , he will conquer the four seas and be invincible."
When the three of them heard Xiaosi's words, they all looked at each other and smiled, and said no more. Chen Si asked more about the news in Daliang. Xiaosi had been away from Daliang for two years, and his wife's family had also moved out of Daliang. He no longer knew much about the news in Daliang. He only knew that he wanted to train the people, and the people's physical fitness was too low. Those training methods are completely useless. What is even more difficult is that most of the able-bodied people have their own livelihoods and do not have time to train; each family generally sends some old and weak people to deal with errands. Xiao Si sighed: "At that time, I only thought about Qin's harsh laws. If he were in Qin's time, he would not be trained and killed!" One sentence made the three of them laugh.
Xiaosi said: "You three sons pretended to be merchants. What's the matter with entering Luoyang? Are you going to get it and hear about it?"
These words stunned the three of them for a moment. Xiaosi said a lot frankly. Now he asked himself, if he lied, he would obviously have a hard conscience; if he told the truth, would he say that the Qin army was trapped in several places and asked for reinforcements?
After all, Zheng Anping had a quick mind and immediately thought of something to say and asked: "Did you know that Wei and Han helped Qin conquer Zhao Hu?"
Xiaosi immediately reacted and said: "You are going to attack the Zhao Qin army!"
Zheng Anping said: "Of course!"
Xiaosi immediately became interested and asked: "How is the war going?"
Zheng Anping said: "If you look at our appearance, you will know the details."
Xiao Si looked at it and said: "None of you three have fought! Although your face looks tired, you are not depressed."
Chen Sidao: "Why do you have to look dejected when fighting with you?"
Xiaosi said: "Qin fought alone against the three kingdoms, with blood flowing everywhere and corpses scattered all over the fields. How can he be as calm as the three sons?"
Zheng Anping reacted immediately and said, "What did you hear about the war?"
Xiaosi was not secretive and said: "I heard that Han, Wei and Qin entered Zhao, and Zhao refused to fight against Wu'an. Later, taking advantage of Zhao's weakness, he went straight to Yanyu. Both Han and Wei rebelled against Zhao. Qin was attacked on three sides and fled in panic. , Yesterday we arrived at Jiyi. Jiyi was originally a Wei city, and there were many people from Wei, but some people who came out said a lot about it. Qin's camp was full of injuries and illnesses, the soldiers were hungry, and the horses were all weak, making it difficult to fight. Zhao General Lian Po was gathered Zhao's army will attack by both land and water. If there are several small towns, Zhao will surely fall into them."
Only now did Zheng Anping know how different the rumors outside were from the actual situation. He patiently explained to Xiao Si that the reason why the Qin army wanted to attack Zhao was because it was deceived by the Zhao people and wanted to take revenge. When the Qin people arrived at the outskirts of Yanhe, they found that it had nothing to do with Zhao's pain and there was no need to talk about revenge, so they started from there. Yanyu came down and approached Handan. At this time, they met Zhao Jun in Wu'an. Zhao Jun defended the wall for nearly a month, while the Qin people ate and drank in Wu'an. There is no gap for both sides to take advantage of, just like the confrontation between Huayang and Qifeng, but this time, the two sides are closer to each other. Later, the Qin army suddenly withdrew, and the Qin army launched a counterattack, protruding out of the valley and entering the suburbs of Handan. Lian Po indeed led his troops into battle and pursued them all the way to the Zhang River under the Great Wall. However, they were blocked by Wang Lu and were unable to cross the river. They secretly crossed the river from the upper reaches, but were defeated by Sima Jin in a battle. Zheng Anping proudly said to Xiao Si: "In the first battle with Sima, I personally fought with him and beheaded Zhao's army by thousands of levels! It's absolutely true!"
Xiao Si curled his lips and said: "What you said is wrong! Since Zhao blocked you from Wu'an in recent months, what can you do if you have to retreat? How can I give you a way to live? Since the Qin army has won, how can you stay in Jiye?"
These words really confused Zheng Anping. It was clear that Zhao Jun retreated. They withdrew to the mountains, probably to rescue Yan Yu. Zheng Anping said this hesitantly, which caused Xiaosi to laugh at him: "Qin discarded Yanyu like a worn shoe, while Zhao Fengzhi was like a treasure. He would rather abandon Handan than abandon Yanyu! Is this reasonable? "
Zheng Anping also retorted: "If we want to defeat it, we should retreat along the original route, how can we turn back into Handan?"
Xiaosi said: "I heard rumors from the Zhao army that the Qin army's retreat had been cut off by Zhao She, so they had no choice but to flee from Handan."
Zheng Anping said: "In this way, Zhao She's withdrawal is really intended to cut off my retreat; when I enter Handan, I hit the target."
Xiaosi put his hands on his hands and said with a smile: "This is true!"
Zheng Anping said: "The Qin army entered Zhao Shetong and rushed straight to Handan. Forced by Lian Po, they retreated to several cities! Is that possible?"
Xiaosi laughed again and said: "Yes, yes!" Everyone laughed.
Zheng Anping said: "Since Qin has entered the country, he should report to Xianyang for help!"
Xiaosi said: "Brother Zheng, I will not deceive you!"
At this time, a child came up and asked: "The fish and wine are all cooked. You should drink it in front of us or drink it in the hall."
Xiaosi said: "My friends and I want to talk all night long, but for fear of disturbing my uncles, I would like to drink in the hall."
Chen Sidao: "After the boatman has finished drinking, please make your own arrangements. We may not return until we get up in the morning."
The little boy should go away. When I was young, I brought a big cauldron, several colored fish bellies, sauce, vinegar, fruits, vegetables and other things, as well as a jar of wine and a bowl of rice. Xiao Si said: "We common people should drink it with the courtesy of common people." The four people then sat around in front of the cauldron and helped themselves to the soup and meat dishes. Xiao Si scooped out wine for them, and the wine was fragrant. , is a pure mature brew, not an ordinary sake. Each of them raised their wine and took a sip. It was sweet and refreshing. Put down the wine, drink soup, eat vegetables as you like, and eat fish belly with soy sauce and vinegar.
Xiao Si asked again: "I heard that Wei and Han rebelled against Qin and became Zhao. Is this true?"
Zheng Anping said: "There is absolutely no such thing. When Qin entered Lanyu, he felt that he could not repay Qin, so he withdrew his troops and abandoned Lanyu to Han and Wei."
Xiaosi asked doubtfully: "Perhaps the attack by the Zhao army was actually caused by the Han and Wei armies?"
Zheng Anping said: "Is the Wei army entering the country?"
Xiaosi said: "I haven't heard of it. Or maybe they are Xinling's army, entering their country and Daliang doesn't know about it?"
Zheng Anping said: "Did the Korean army enter the country?"
Xiaosi said: "I haven't heard of it either!"
Zheng Anping said: "Three Kingdoms Alliance, Qin is the most advanced?"
Xiaosi said: "But when I heard about the movements of the Qin army, others didn't hear about it. Maybe he was the one who led the Wei army, so he was Si Mang in the middle camp of Huayang!"
Zheng Anping said: "Isn't it a blessing to miss him in person? Since Qin arrived first and the soldiers of Han and Wei did not return, Zhao will definitely be defeated."
Xiaosi said: "Maybe we can join forces with Zhao She to attack Qin together!"
Zheng Anping said: "It's unreasonable!"
Zheng Anping was focused on fighting a lawsuit with Xiao Si, while Chen Si and Young Master Yiren listened carefully and judged secretly in their hearts. Occasionally, Chen Si would insert a sentence or two to guide Xiao Si's conversation. Xiaosi was originally like meeting an old friend in a foreign land, unable to hold his tongue. Now that he had drunk wine, he started talking even more freely, whether it was true or false, about his family, his country, in the temple, or by the ditch. Come up. Zheng Anping was surprised: Xiaosi seemed to have changed!
Xiaosi repeatedly held up a cup to encourage people to drink, but no one could keep up with his drinking rhythm. Zheng Anping smiled and said: "In the past, my colleagues have never seen the fourth brother's words as powerful as this!"
Xiaosi took a sip of wine, put down the cup and said: "In the past, I was burdened by fame and fame, and I was often afraid of losing my words! Brother Zheng left here, and my friends were scattered. I settled down in Fuzhou, and I know that wealth and fame are like clouds. . Let go in your heart, and you will be quick to speak. What should you do if the words come from your heart and flow into your mouth? I would like to ask my brothers about the affairs of the Qin army and the important affairs of our army and country. What does my concubine do? However, what comes from my heart is to ask about it. There are no taboos in the mouth. It comes out of your mouth and enters my ears, and others are ignorant! As for the temple above, within the plan, whether it is successful or not, it has nothing to do with me!"
After hearing this, Zheng Anping and others were secretly wary: Maybe Xiaosi didn't have any ill intentions, but he couldn't stop him from talking nonsense; if it fell into the ears of someone with a heart, something might happen!
Everyone talked until midnight. The three of them were pregnant with evil intentions. Most of them just listened to the mistress's talk. They didn't dare to say anything more. They just responded casually, drank to their heart's content, and everyone slept peacefully.
The boatman was naturally satisfied with a meal of meat and a glass of wine, so he came out early and slept on the boat. This is a boat village, so there are naturally many places for mooring. But a large boat among a sea of small fishing boats also stood out.
The next day the rooster crows, the three of them get up early, and Xiaosi is still drunk. The three of them didn't wake him up, they just said goodbye to his father-in-law and returned to the boat. Not far away, the wind and waves on the river gradually subsided, and the boatman woke up and prepared to set sail. Seeing the three people coming back, they each said thank you! They cooked a quick meal beside the boat and finished their breakfast quickly. When the weather calmed down, the three of them rocked the boat to the river and waited. After a while, the boats came from the lower reaches and headed upstream to Luoyang together.
Along the way, Zheng Anping did not dare to show off anymore and sat quietly in the cabin. Chen Si still sat outside the cabin, watching the beautiful scenery. Sometimes the young master is in the cabin, sometimes he runs out, and he is bored.
It wasn't until the afternoon that Chen Si whispered: "Beimang has arrived!" Zheng Anping got out of the cabin and looked at the familiar Beimang Mountain, with ups and downs in his heart.
Once the boat passes Beimang, it will enter Luoyang. Luoyang has a special status in China. It is among the world, the place of the emperor, and the sacred place that the scholars of the world yearn for! The prosperity of Luoyang is far from being summed up by a prosperous business.
