Chapter 270: Reward and Punishment

Zhang Yu inquired from Xu Jia that Chen Xiao was involved in the Qin and Wei peace talks, while no one from the Korean side participated, and it seems that he did not get any more information from Chen Zheng; In other words, Chen Zheng participated in this matter entirely from the position of the Qin people, not from the position of a Korean intermediary. Chen Zhen has a dual identity, he is both a lobbyist of the Qin State and a guest secretary of South Korea, it seems that the former is true and the latter is false. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but faintly worry about the meeting between Xin Lingjun and Chen Xiao: if it is South Korea, there is still the righteousness of the alliance in the end; If it was the Qin State, the two sides would have been hostile, not to mention that the Qin State was still a bottomless country, and even the King of Chu who went to the peace talks dared to suppress it.

Zhang Yu asked Xu Jia again: "Did the doctor see Gong Chen?" ”

Su Jia said: "Chen Gong is undecided, you can't see it!" It's not as talented as Mr., and you can see it when you get to Zheng. ”

Zhang Yu said: "It's not my talent, but I have to be reckless." ”

Su Jia said: "If you get Chen Gong's help, it will be beneficial to the mission." Can you get it and smell it? ”

Zhang Yu said: "I want to see it, but it's also difficult!" The doctor has a word, which can be said to me, and when I meet, I can reach it. ”

Xu Jia thought for a while and said, "Sir, the city of Wei can be dedicated to Han and Qin, but it is only necessary to retreat from the Qin soldiers." May Chen raise it. ”

Zhang Yu had a general understanding of Xu Jia's problem: his mission was originally to come to Han to ask for help, but the plan could not catch up with the changes, and after entering Zheng, Qin Wei secretly negotiated peace, which actually made Han's dispatch of troops to aid Wei meaningless; And Han also knew about it, so he put Xu Jia aside and waited for the Qin and Wei families to negotiate a result. It stands to reason that since Wei decided to negotiate peace with Qin, the decision to invite Han reinforcements should be canceled and the envoys should be summoned back, but Wei did not do so, probably to increase the bargaining chips at the negotiating table. It's just that it has suffered Wei and South Korea.

Thinking about this, he was also puzzled about Huayang's war: how should Huayang conduct the war? Originally, he wanted to unite the forces of Liang and Zheng to completely expel the Qin army, but as a result, both Liang and Zheng negotiated peace with Qin, and it was difficult to survive the blows of the Qin army with the strength of Huayang alone, not to mention the expulsion of the Qin army. What should Huayang do? Now, having lost the containment of the Great Liang, the Qin people have gradually transferred their strength to Huayang's side, and today's battle proves that Huayang does not have the strength to fight with the Qin people. How will Huayang fight in the future?

There are also the tens of thousands of people's troops, all of whom are peasants in the local areas, who were dragged out to fight because of the lack of harvest, hoping to conquer a few cities and subsidize their families, but were dragged into a defensive war. Their plan to survive the famine by plundering other countries naturally came to naught; And if they are not properly accommodated, they will be driven by hunger to plunder their own people and become thieves. What about these people? He couldn't help but think of Captain Liang's method: drive them to fight with the Qin army!

There is also the question of food: how long will Huayang prepare to fight and how much grain will be stored? The pots and pans of the Qin people are all taken from Zheng, but what about Huayang?

After being silent for a long time, he finally asked Su Jia, "What is the doctor talking about in Huayang?" ”

Su Jia seemed to be thinking about this question just now, and when he saw Zhang Yu asking himself, he replied: "Huayang can't abandon it, and it's difficult to keep it, it's really a dilemma." ”

Zhang Yu said: "If Huayang moves Han, what can it be?" ”

Su Jia said: "What will be the strategy? ”

Zhang Yu said: "Our army is 100,000, and the daily cost is thousands." If the day is a thousand gold in Zheng, what can I do? ”

Su Jia's eyes lit up and said, "Mr. Guo is a wise man, this plan is wonderful." But if you get the order of the son, the minister will do it. It will be beneficial. ”

Zhang Yu said: "I will return to Huayang to discuss this matter." Or with a doctor. ”

Thinking of this clever plan, the pressure in Zhang Yu's heart was reduced a lot. If you use the grain from the treasury to fund the Qin State, I will sweep the grain in the bazaar and supply Huayang, and when your bazaar is empty, see if you are summoned or not.

Su Jia naturally knew that when dealing with businessmen, he not only had a good mission, but also had the potential to make a small profit. After returning home, he immediately investigated the situation of the market and began to prepare to empty the market.

The porridge in the courtyard was cooked, the wine and chickens were in order, and the whole courtyard was filled with aroma, which attracted the other merchants who lived in the courtyard to run out.

Dr. Sujia came out of the room with a smile on his face, and some merchants said, "Doctor He Qing, you have to congratulate each other with wine and meat?" ”

Doctor Su Jia pointed at Zhang Yu and said, "I have a huge Jia to help, and I have no wine and meat!" ”

Merchants and customers have their own thoughts, but they all laugh heartily.

Su Jia said: "Today, you should drink with Mr. Zhule!" ”

Those merchants also bowed their hands and said: "Disturb the doctor, get the doctor's blessing." Suja opened the urn and scooped a bowl with the merchants, but it was not sake, but sweet liquor. The merchants each drank a cup and left. Dr. Suja sang to each other with the people, and drank all the wine in the urn, and everyone's face was flushed.

Then everyone went to the front of the top with a bowl to serve porridge, and in addition to the salt and plum, each person also had a small piece of chicken dipped in the pickling.

There were chickens to eat, which made a group of coachmen very excited, they relied on the strength of the wine, and made a loud noise, while Zhang Lu and Xu Jia mixed in, talking back and forth with the people next to them, and others could not see anything special.

After the meal, Zhang Yu and the other three said goodbye, and Xu Jia also returned to the post house. In late autumn, it was dark early, and although it was still sunset, the sky was already very dark, and there were no pedestrians on the road. The three of them didn't dare to gather too closely, and each gathered five steps away, for fear that if there was any trap, it would be over. Naturally, it is impossible to talk about anything at this distance, just hurry; In order not to leave a flaw, they sometimes walked on the avenue, sometimes in the drainage ditch beside the road; Sometimes left, sometimes right, very nervous. In order to recover his strength and change his rhythm, Zhang Yu had to find a safe place to stop and rest every few miles. By the time they reached the right camp, it was already dusk.

The sentries of Fudao stopped them and sent them to Sikong layer by layer. After Liang Wei's son took over the position of commander of Liang Wei's military guards, the two battalions of the right colonel were returned to the head of the department. Sikong naturally recognized Zhang Xu, and he held Zhang Xu's hand excitedly and said, "Mr. has not returned, and it is difficult for you to sit still." ”

Zhang Yu was nervous all the way, and only when he arrived in his military camp did he settle down a little, and wanted to rest before returning to the city, so he took the initiative to ask Sikong for water to drink, and asked casually: "What is the war like today?" ”

At this question, Sikong cried and said, "Dead and wounded all over the field,...... Rivers of blood,...... It's hard to say! ”

Zhang Yu said: "But in a nutshell. ”

Sikong stabilized his emotions and said, "The two armies of the initiator are beating drums, and each is not up and down. Suddenly, the drums of the Qin people beat loudly, and the shouts of our army suddenly turned into exclamations. When he did not move, the Qin people swept from the sky, and the Wei army fled in confusion, and those who walked slowly were killed by the Qin people. The second colonel of the rear army and the right side of the army all moved their troops to 100 paces, ready to meet the enemy. Fortunately, the soldiers of the Chinese army shot their positions, and Qin Nai withdrew his troops. ”

Zhang Yu said: "What about casualties? ”

Sikong trembled all over, and said, "But seeing the headless body everywhere......" he couldn't go on.

Zhang Yu said: "What do you see? ”

Sikong said: "I know the right battalion of the former army...... The former and central two armies and civilian troops were all broken, mourning and crying, and they could not be buried, so they ordered a battalion of the rear army to go to the right to collect it. The ministers are guarded, so they can see it...... It's miserable......"

Zhang Yu said: "What are the casualties? ”

Sikong said: "But I saw corpses all over the field, no less than hundreds." The number of them is yet to be examined. …… There is no head on it, and it can't be recognized if it's not a relative. ”

Zhang Yu felt that the blow to morale in this battle far exceeded the casualties, and he was a little dissatisfied, and said: "Si Nai's rate of commanding troops, how can you raise the heart of a woman?" Dead and wounded, often fighting. What can I do if I hit Qin? ”

Sikong said: "The Qin people retreated, and all the dead and wounded were carried away, so I can't know." ”

Zhang Yu said: "The Qin people committed me, they retreated for me, and they won the battle, why be frustrated!" The Qin people may come again tomorrow, and I hope that the division will cheer up, reward morale, and persuade rewards and punishments to wait for Dan. ”

Sikong grabbed Zhang Yu and said, "May Mr. help me!" ”

At this time, the military envoy came to report, and the Jin Contempt Doctor gathered the generals to discuss the matter, and all the schools and above went to the Chinese army.

Zhang Yu was relieved and said, "I will follow you to the Chinese army." ”

Sikong said: "Mr. Great grace, although death is difficult to repay." ”

Zhang Yu said: "Si is the school rate, I don't want to be a child, and I want to be laughed at by the pawn!" ”

Sikong reluctantly wiped it on his face, wiped his face, straightened his chest, raised his head and walked out, calling "Prepare the car". Zhang Yu listened to it, and his strength was quite sufficient.

Sikong brought a praise painting to follow, and the praise painting recognized Zhang Yu and thought it was sent by Xinling Jun, so he didn't say anything. After getting into the car, Zhang Yu took the initiative to drive, leaving time for Sikong to adjust his emotions. The carriage galloped all the way into the middle camp.

Jin Wei did not arrange the meeting to be held in the tent, but let everyone sit in the open space in front of the tent. Zhang Yu and the others were surprised to see that Xin Lingjun was also sitting in front of the tent,—— which showed that this meeting was extraordinary.

There were already many people sitting in the open space, and Liang Wei Gongzi took the initiative to greet him and asked Sikong to wait. When he saw Zhang Yu, he was also very surprised, and hurriedly gave a salute. Xinlingjun also saw Zhang Yu, and slightly bowed his hand, and Zhang Yu also bowed back and sat down behind Liang Wei Gongzi.

When the open space was gradually filled, Dr. Jin stood up in the seat and said very sternly: "Today, the Qin people broke my seven battalions in two formations, in half a day, wounding more than 1,000 of our soldiers, and 300 dead!" However, when the Qin people were trapped, a battalion stood still, like a pillar in the middle, from noon to sun, Qin did not dare to commit, and there were no casualties. It's a former military officer! ”

A battalion commander of the former army stood up. Jin said disdainfully: "Why? The Qin people chased and killed, and only walked along the avenue between the camps, but the camp fence was not broken, the soldiers were not chaotic, and the Qin people did not attack! But the seven battalions are broken, why? Run away on your own, look at the wind and collapse! The Qin people also have one head and two hands, and there is no other skill, the Qin people have not yet arrived, that is, they are looking at the wind and fleeing, why not? Are you all in charge? The seven battalions were exempted from being concubines and sent back to the township; Each of the pawns was demoted by one level; All of them are impeached! ”

The former general knelt up and said, "Wow! ”

Jin said contemptively: "Si Qin is trapped in the enemy's formation, he does not move, the enemy does not dare to attack, and his loyalty and courage are commendable." Attendance is the school rate, the camp gives sheep wine, and those who have merit will be rewarded by it. ”

Si Qin avoided the table and said: "Oh! ”
