Seeing that the pleasant atmosphere suddenly fell silent, everyone did not know the reason, and they also fell silent together. Hou Ying was silent for a while, and said to everyone: "It's almost half of the night, and everyone is going to sleep." Everyone glanced at each other, not knowing what Hou Ying meant, and suddenly depressed, hearing Hou Ying's order, they didn't dare to disobey, and they all saluted and left. Hou Ying sat alone in the court, and went for a long time.

The next morning, Hou Huan asked people to answer the order on his behalf, gave some advice, put on a long shirt, went out, and returned at night. The crowd gathered around and brought out the food table. Hou Huan was a little tired, but she also beat her spirits and said, "Are you waiting?" Everyone said, "It's eaten." Hou Huan said: "Wait for me to change my clothes." Everyone stayed in front of the steps, Hou Huan went to the back room, changed into ordinary samurai clothes and returned to the court, and sat in front of the desk. He was not there all day today, but the people still kept two meals for him, and now they brought it up as a case. Hou Huan looked at the food table and knew that it was two meals, so he beckoned: "Those who see it have a share, and they will sit and eat together." And he said, "Drink water with you!" Running all day, very hungry and thirsty. One person got up in a hurry, took out an urn from under the east kitchen, put it in front of the desk, poured out a lamp, and served it on the desk. Hou Huan drank it all, laughed and praised: "Refreshing! Another bowl. The man poured out another lamp, Hou Ying took a sip, counted the grains in front of the seat, and ate the mouth. After eating a few bites, he beckoned everyone to get started and pick up the cup to drink water by himself. Everyone knew that the catering was over, and they gathered around, and Hou Huan asked, "What is the order today?" ”

One of them replied, "It's just that the streets are cleared in case of spies, and there is no other order." ”

Hou Huan said: "Is there an order to go to the city?" ”

They replied, "No order." ”

Hou Huan asked again: "Is there a visit?" ”

Everyone said, "No guests." ”

Hou Huan said: "What are you waiting for today? ”

The crowd said: "The gate is closed, and I don't know when it will be opened." But there is nothing else to do when they patrol the neighborhoods and close their doors. ”

Hou Huan said: "Which one should be errand today?" One person responded, "A certain square and a certain family, have gone to the city", there are many people, everyone can't hear clearly, can't remember, and don't care; Hou Huan seemed to have heard it clearly, and she didn't ask anymore.

After the official question, Hou Huan said to Chen Si: "Mr. Mipu Li, who went to Kaifeng with you, has been invited to the General's Mansion at night, and has not returned yet." It seems to have been left by Mangfu. ”

Chen Si was shocked: "Mr. Li has nothing else to do, but he is in charge of the boat." ”

Hou Huan said: "There must be something unknown about this. What will happen to the old gentleman? ”

Chen Sidao: "After I left the flower shop with my husband, I did not reunite with the old gentleman, and I don't know where he went." ”

Hou Huan said: "Mr. has not shown his origin? ”

Chen Sidao: "I don't hear it." ”

Hou Huan said: "The old gentleman will return to Mr. Li's boat again." There shouldn't be him. ”

Chen Sidao: "Naturally. ”

Hou Huan said: "The four doors of Mangfu are closed, and there are no outsiders. There is no news from the Prince's Mansion and the Governor's Mansion. There is no explicit order. The traffic inside and outside the city is as good as that! ”

At this moment, there was a knock at the door. One of them hurriedly got up and looked at it, and came back and said, "The doorman of the beam is visiting." ”

Hou Huan hurriedly got up, waved his hand to remove the dining table, and everyone quietly retreated to the side room. He dressed himself up, and saw that everyone had returned to his room, so he followed the man who opened the door and went to the door.

The door opened, Hou Huan went out, and without waiting for someone to reply, he pulled him into the door and quickly closed the door. The two of them walked briskly to the hall and sat down on their knees. Hou Huan asked anxiously, "Who entered the palace?" ”

Human: "The people who entered the palace today are only the general and Dr. Sujia." ”

Hou Huan was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Is it to want to be with Qin?" ”

Came to the human: "I don't know the details, I seem to want to ask for help from Han." ”

Hou Huan said: "I have been invited to Han Ting for a long time, although Han does not resign, but he pushes him forward." ”

Humane: "If Dr. Jia is required to send an envoy, can it be decided?" ”

Hou Huan said: "Doctor Sujia has made several envoys to foreign countries, although he said that he did not disgrace his mission. However, asking for help is not more than anything else, not only can you do it. …… What's the matter? ”

Humanity: "Grain and grass from all over the world are entering the city one after another. This father knows also. ”

Hou Huan said: "What is Xiangguo's order? ”

Come to the humane: "Xiangguo and the palace are all connected, and they do not go through the beam gate on a non-morning basis, and it is common to enter the palace on three or five days." ”

Hou Huan said: "The army outside the city still exists, and it is led by Xinling Jun, not the Great Liang Captain." The prince of Liang Wei has led the army to the camp of Xinling Jun to follow his father. Mangzi Shen first went out with the Great Liang Lieutenant, and now returns to China on the orders of the Emperor of Xinling. ”

Came to the human: "I don't know about it. ”

Hou Huan said: "I have a person who follows Wei Mangfu, and now I am back with Shen Gongzi, so I know it." In addition, the opening order and the lieutenant are also in the camp of Xinling Jun. ”

The visitor was shocked: "What do you mean?" ”

Hou Huan said: "Mangfu designed to pull out the two of them, but they were robbed by Xinling Jun. The Qin people are now stationed in Kaifeng and open a military city; Kaifeng ordered the lieutenant to graze his land for a long time, and he must do something, and the general came second. ”

Humane: "What should we do? ”

Hou Huan said: "When Xinling Jun sends Shen Gongzi into the country, he will conspire with the general." The discord between the brothers of the general Li Wei will make the king suspicious of Xinlingjun and not with the outside of the city. It's hard to do. However, with Xinling Jun outside, Qin must not abandon it and attack the Great Liang, and the Great Liang can not be worried. ”

came to the human: "If Xinling Jun is defeated, Daliang will not be in danger." ”

Hou Huan said: "Xinling Jun has always been known for his benevolence and righteousness, and there are many loyal, brave and resourceful people under his door, and it is difficult to defeat him. Small losses are inevitable, but the benefits of the king and the general are also being calculated. ”

Come to the humane: "If I have a word from my father, my heart will be at peace." ”

Hou Huan said: "Xinling Jun will be undefeated, and he wants to be in time for the help of Daliang." The general will be swayed by it. If you offend Xinling Jun because of this, it is not a long-term solution. ”

"This is not something we can do. But knowing that there is no war in Daliang, his heart is at peace. Resignation. ”

Hou Huan said: "The beam is safe, and it is built on the beach. Jun Qi secretly observes the changes, and tells it sooner or later, which is very fortunate. ”

Come to the human: "Dare not obey your fate." With the Father's Divine Machine, why not calculate in the temple. Why be with the old men of the alley! ”

Hou Huan said: "The temple is so high, it's dangerous!" I can't do that. May not say more. ”

The person who came to resign, Hou Huan personally sent it out of the door, and watched it disappear into the darkness.

After closing the door, Hou Huan pondered by the door for a while, returned to the east wing, and asked, "Is the fourth brother sleeping?" Chen Si hurriedly agreed: "No." "When the door opened, Chen Si came out. Hou Huan said: "You can go to the General's Mansion and worship Mr. Che." Chen Si led and asked, "What does my father have to say?" ”

Hou Huan said: "Mr. Che is a humerus stock of Mangfu, if he can be effective, he will be more than a soldier!" ”

Chen Sidao: "The boy came to his father, and he benefited a lot. How dare you resign! ”

Hou Huan said: "My brother is commensurate with my son, and I have to work for my brother." Although the brother is brave, but the wisdom is still high, and he is improvised, which is beyond the reach of others, it is not limited to a mere military soldier. It must also be the general's house, and the crowd of 10,000 people will have to show their talents in their chests. ”

Chen Sidao: "As my father said, what should a boy do?" ”

Hou Huan said: "To serve the general, you must not be close to him, but you must move with your talents." The brother is with Mr. Weiche, and Mr. said that he can. This will be known to them. Brother Qi went to explore, and he got a little bit of his tone. Deliberation. Chen Si bowed and retreated. Hou Huan turned around and walked to the back hall, sighing in her heart: "When will Dr. Sujia leave the city?" ”

Dr. Suja didn't actually put on a show. He was hurriedly recruited into the palace during the day, but in fact he did not see the king of Wei, and he was greeted by Mang Mao and Wei Qi, the generals and ministers of Wei, these two people together, basically equal to the king of Wei. After the three of them met, Wei Qi explained the reason for urgently recruiting doctors into the palace: although Wei repeatedly asked Han for help, Han pushed back; Jinxin Lingjun unexpectedly took advantage of it, occupied Huayang, and captured his lieutenant and his lieutenant Han Bushen; This can be used as an excuse to blackmail South Korea into sending troops. Therefore, he ordered Xu Jia to go to Huayang to meet Xinlingjun first, discuss the negotiation strategy, and then go to South Korea to ask for help.

Mang Mao introduced the current military situation: the Qin Dynasty had tens of thousands of people to open the seal, cut off the Liang Quartet trade route, and strangled the throat of the Liang. At present, the strength of the Liang is more than enough, and the attack is insufficient, and foreign aid must be obtained. Xinling Jun reinstated the remnants of the army, temporarily based on Huayang, thinking that it was foreign aid; However, in addition to the ruins, the grain and grass are not continued, and it is difficult to be of great use. Fortunately, Captain Liang and his son led thousands of soldiers to help, and the two joined forces, and the situation was slightly settled; However, if the relocation is delayed, it will be unpredictable. Therefore, the first army of Xinlingjun, although it is said to be foreign aid, is actually a tiger and a wolf, and it will be used by me for the time being, and it will definitely be devoured. Fang Jin's beams have been rectified, and there is no obstacle for the time being. Xinling Jun, a royal noble, should not be placed in a dangerous place, and should be aided now. When the doctor entered Huayang, he had to pull out the strategy of Xinlingjun and go to Han Ting to ask for it.

Su Jia listened obediently and naturally realized the subtle difference in the conversation between the two: Wei Qi really regarded Xinlingjun as a help, while Mang Mao regarded him as a hidden danger. "The Mang clan should not praise Xinlingjun and despise himself," Xu Jia knew in his heart that the army led by Xinlingjun was the army led by Mangmao and defeated by the Qin people. The general of the defeated army of Mangmao was not only not held accountable, but was worshiped as a general, and led the military and political affairs of the whole country. - This actually made many scholars unconvinced. In addition to the great defeat, Xinlingjun took over the rectification of the army, although he did not see the victory, but did not see the collapse, and the people who were dissatisfied with Mangmao in the court secretly promised Xinlingjun's ability in their hearts. However, Su Jia, who has been in the official way for a long time, naturally did not show these emotions in the slightest, but put on an expression of sincere admiration, and accepted the task respectfully, but asked casually: "What is the courtesy?" ”

Wei Qi said: "The former has been given away by a city in the border town, and it is a hundred miles. As he spoke, he opened the map and pointed out to Suja the castle that he had agreed to give away. Xu Jia saw that it was a border city in the territory of the Wei clan near Korea, and secretly said in his heart, "Good calculation": the Wei clan originally belonged to the Wei State, but in fact, it was at both ends of the head between Han and Wei. Now that he is giving a piece of it to Han, Yu Wei will not be damaged, and Yu Han will not make up for it, and the sincerity of this request for help can be imagined.

Su Jia pondered for a moment and said euphemistically: "It is not a gift to a city in a border town, but it is not a courtesy; However, if it is not possible to make it before, why not add it? ”

Wei Qi said: "The former envoy went to South Korea and gave it to each other with a city, and the King of Han had no words to say that the courtesy was less, but he pushed it to other things, and he didn't know where the King of Han wanted, and it didn't seem to be in the goods and land." Therefore, it should not be added. must find out what King Han wants, so that he can deal with it. ”

Mang Mao said: "Now that it has been discovered, the Qin people are in Kaifeng, and the king of Han sent people to Jia Liang in Qin to get a lot of profits, what is his meaning?" This Qin is stationed for one day, Han gets a day's benefits, and Wei suffers for a day. Therefore, it is necessary for Han to send troops as soon as possible. Now Xinling Jun has to be based on Huayang, and he clearly said that he will temporarily replace Han Shou. In this way, it may be possible to judge the calculation of the king of Han. ”
