After some twists and turns, the meeting that was originally held at the Babst car dealership was changed to be held on the Qinshui River.

In the cabin, Chen Xiao and Xin Lingjun sat opposite each other, Zhang Yu sat at the hatch, and Zeng Ji sat at the stern. Zeng Ji took off all his clothes, shirtless, with a short skirt around his lower body, and looked like a man.

Shinling-kun didn't seem to have any opinion on this change. After some politeness, Xin Lingjun cut directly to the topic and asked: "Chen Gong came to the west, not for Qin, nor for Jin, what is it?" ”

Chen Xiao asked with great interest, "Why did Gongzi see that I was not Qin Ye?" Talking about Han Tong Qin, saying Wei Lianheng, isn't it Qin Hu? ”

Xinling Jun said: "Trapped in the land of the four wars and unable to pull out, although Han is through Qin, Qin loses his wealth; said Wei Lianheng, and hesitated. None of them are Qin's benefit. ”

Chen Xiao smiled and said: "The son is talented, and what he has seen is outstanding. Since the Qin people changed the law by Shang Jun, they have been fighting year after year, what have they done? The punishment is harsh, and the prisoners are everywhere. If you have no military achievements, it will be difficult to get away with it. The land of Qin is barren, and there are many households needed. ”

Xinling Jun said: "It is the old Qin who will fight every year, so that the prisoners can make meritorious contributions and get rid of their crimes, so as to make up the household." ”

Chen Xiao said: "After years of fighting, there are many dead and few alive. Merchants can't do it, and traffic is cut off. Its afflictions lie thousands of miles away. The country of the Three Jin Dynasty, the traffic world, its harm is particularly serious. ”

Xinling Jun said: "However, the three Jin and Qin are connected, Qin is out of the valley and east, the first is Han, and the second is Wei. Out of Wuguan to Chu, and Chu Ying has become Qin County. As for Taiyuan and Shangdang, although they are connected with Qin, and Qin is humble and promoted, it is inconvenient; East to Zhao, no benefit. ”

Chen Xiao said: "It is the reason why the war is indispensable for Qin. And for Jin does not want. ”

Xinling Jun said: "If you don't want to, you can't do it." If you get a hundred thousand people and dominate the world, you will not be a holy king. ”

Chen Xiao said: "But although the king wants to, he can't do it? Force can't either. 100,000 people also rise, thousands of miles of food, a thousand dollars per day; Those who fight for profit for thousands of miles will jump on the general. Therefore, a hundred battles are won, and the way to die is also. Yes, everyone knows it. However, although Qin fought a hundred battles, the battle was 100,000 people, and those who were not strong and did not lack money, why not? ”

Xinling Jun said: "I can't think about it for a long time. May the Catholic Church of the! ”

Chen Xiao said: "The person he belongs to is also in prison. The prisoners have no war, and they do not work hard, but only build the city and the river; The next one is just cutting down the salary. Qin system, all prisoners are given, Chen Yuehe two stones; If the city builds a wall, half a bucket, a bucket in the evening, and a half stone in the moon. Gather as soldiers, then the moon is three stones, and the sun fights and eclipses. For the subordinates, everyone suffers; Gather troops for battle, and everyone enjoys it. Why? The city suffers endlessly, and if the war or merit, it will be restored to the people. Yu Guan, Cheng Dan and Bing, Fei Zheng and so on. Therefore, Qin's march is also concentric, and the strength is unyielding. is trapped and convicted, and Cheng is also convicted. His army is also, the soldier is the people, and the pawn is the prisoner. The cost is not more, but the benefit is many. In its battle, everyone fought bravely, fighting for the first place, although they fought naked, they did not care about it. In the art of war, hundreds of people were stabbed, and they were trapped in chaos; Thousands of people were slashed, and the enemy was captured and killed; Ten thousand people were slashed and rampant all over the world. There are 100,000 pills in Qin today, although they want to dominate the world, they can also. ”

Xinling Jun said: "Wu Zi said, let the sage be on top, and the unscrupulous will be on the bottom, and the formation will be fixed; The people are safe in their fields and houses, and they have a company, so they will stick to it; If the people are our rulers and not our neighbors, we will be victorious. But what Qin Zhi did was the opposite, and the battle was won? ”

Chen Xiao said: "What is its anti-yes? Those who are good at fighting and beheading and making meritorious contributions are on top, and those who are cowardly and inmeritorious are on the bottom, and this fixed formation is also; The Qin people are convenient for the law, and they all have a division, and this is also stubborn; The Qin people are Qin and Wei are the same as the Wei people are Wei and not Qin, and this is also defeated. ”

Xinling Jun said: "Lonely Shang Jun's practice is also, blood flows like a river, the water is red, it is to kill its people, the people should regard it as an enemy, and the Qin people are still close to it, what can I do?" ”

Chen Xiao said: "I heard that Qin Zhi attacked Wei Ye, and the Wei people dispersed in a coax, yes, no?" ”

Xinling Jun said: "Yes, there is. ”

Chen Xiao said: "Before the battle to the north, the law is all killed!" Childe's line? ”

Xinling Jun said: "I can't do it." ”

Chen Xiao said: "If you enter, you will be a mortal enemy, and if you retreat, you will live, and the son still wants to give up his life?" In the art of war, if you die, you will live, and if you are lucky, you will die. The thought of the son, so that the soldiers are fortunate to be born in front of the battle, is it the desire to survive, is it the desire to die? It is the law that is also practiced by faith. The journey of Qin Law also lies in faith. Although the enemy is rewarded, meritorious service will be rewarded; Although those who are close to each other, they will be punished. In all battles, the enemy will win, the enemy will be afraid of the general's north, the enemy and the general will be weighed, and the victory will be defeated, and it will be the same. The son weighs the Qin generals, who is the soldier afraid? ”

Xinling Jun said abruptly: "It's not as good as Qin. However, I am still confused, Wu Zi loves soldiers like sons, sucks sores for pawns, and pawns do not spin their heels. The kid is not talented, and he is willing to follow his example. ”

Chen Xiao said: "Wu Zi said, the laws and regulations are unknown, the rewards and punishments are not believed, the gold is not stopped, the drums are not advanced, although there are millions, what is the benefit!" Wu Zi said, the drum Jin Duo, so Wei'er; The banner is commanding, so it is prestigious; The ban is punished, so the prestige. If the three do not stand, though they have their own kingdoms, they will be defeated by the enemy. There is a heavy reward for entering, and there is a heavy punishment for retreating, and the practice is faithful, and the trial can achieve this, and the victorious lord is also. It is the teaching of Wu Zi, and the one who does not suck sores alone and dies is also. May the prince check it. ”

Xinlingjun didn't expect that Chen Zheng was so familiar with Wu Zizhi's words, and he was ashamed, and said: "You must read every military book and then cultivate its way." Now that there is some difficulty, Qin's expedition is also, what can I do with military rations? ”

Chen Xiao said: "The battle of Qin is also, and there are no more months. Whatever is it, there is a limit to food. The husband and the army eat, the Chinese use millet, Ding cooking retort, add salt and plum, or negated. The Qin people were very simple, the millet was roasted with fire to make it dry, and the three stones of millet were made into one stone, and the salt was in it; When eating, you can soak it in water, and you can also get dry food. The pawn will do his best to bear the food, but he will get one stone, and the more will be unbearable. Therefore, the additional troops will last for more than one month. ”

Xinling Jun said: "It's easy. If Wei does it, can it? ”

Chen Xiao said: "Roasted millet is dry, not easy, too scorched, not enough." This must be subordinated to the concubine as the law to bake, and it is feasible for the priest to test it. Wei also has a concubine in the wild? Is there also a way to roast millet? ”

Xinling Jun said: "This is also the responsibility of the people. Strict punishment and strict law, a gentleman can't do it, but how can Qin rely on it to succeed? ”

Chen Xiao said: "Those who want to cherish the world with virtue should be governed by etiquette." Those who want to subdue the world with their strength should use the rule of law. Strict punishment and strict law, although you can't come from Suiyuan, you can also gather the strength of the people, and the family will rule the country and level the world. ”

Xinling Jun said: "Those who cherish the world with virtue will be the virtue of the world." Those who subdue the world will be abandoned by the world. Reason. The boy is ignorant and lies in vain, and teaches it publicly. ”

Chen Xiao said: "The words of the son are also taught by the sages." The words of the saint are also as good as they are and as good as they are beautiful. and those who have done evil are to be punished by the law. Qin Zhi's actions are also different. The Dharma is guided by good, and it also cuts off evil. Although it cannot be perfect, it is not exhaustive, and it is inexhaustible to eliminate evil. However, its deeds are also evident, and its effect is also outstanding, and the people are virtuous. Therefore, although Qin has strict punishments and harsh laws, the people are convenient. Who? Although if you retreat, you will die, and if you advance, you will be rewarded. If you cut a poem, you will be promoted to a knight, a country of a thousand times, who can do it? And Qin is also alone. The first level of the lord is one hectare of Yitian, nine acres of Yizhai, except for one concubine, who has to enter the army. Over the past hundred years, Duqin has not slackened. Therefore, the people are convenient, and they want to be rewarded. ”

Xinling Jun said: "It is also the right way in the world? ”

Chen Xiao said: "Shang Jun's entry into Qin Ye, first enter the Qin Duke with the emperor's road, then the royal road, and the domineering, Qin Gong is not used, what?" The way of the emperor is more than three generations, and the sage and his body are famous in the world, can they stay for dozens of years to become an emperor? Therefore, Shang Jun said it with the art of strengthening the country. As a last resort. With Qin's weakness, it cannot be removed by non-Jun medicine. Therefore, killing people is full of wilderness, saying that the water is red, and the people will eventually do it. ”

Xinling Jun said: "Strict punishment and strict law are also the way to strengthen the country?" “

Chen Xiao said: "Yes." However, it is difficult to compare virtue with Yin Zhou. “

Xinling Jun said: "Qin has this way to strengthen the country and dominate the world. Why rely on Chen Gongzhidong? There must be. “

Chen Xiao said: "The son is suspicious, so he understands it." It's not hidden. Qin practiced harsh laws, and the prisoners were everywhere, but there were few who could do it. The walls are built with soil, and all the places are built. And the prisoner's food is still offered. Every battle, one city and two cities, it is still difficult to respond. Who? If the prisoner is sentenced to 100,000 stones, he shall be given two stones per month, and he shall receive 200,000 stones, and two million and 400,000 stones per year. The household tax tithe is only 15 stones, and the prisoner is 100,000, and the non-160,000 households are not allowed to give it. One city and two cities, the number of households is only 350,000, which is not enough. Non-ten cities are hard to come by. And today, the ground is raging, the walls are strong, and the weapons of war and defense are all ready. With a crowd of 100,000, how can you get ten cities? Last year, Wei was killed, only two cities were taken, and the households were not more than 10,000. Come back this year, and want to reap the benefits. “

Xin Lingjun was about to be laughed at angrily, and said: "Qin has two cities, his heart is still insufficient, and he wants to get my ten cities?" “

Chen Xiao was unmoved, and still said in a friendly manner: "Gongzi is a 100,000 division today, and it is difficult to give him food." Qin often raised hundreds of thousands of disciples, and he was in trouble. Some guests said that Jin and Qin Lianheng, Qin fake Jin soldiers to open up territory, Jin and Qin grain to give prisoners, not a penny! Therefore, the minister came to the east and really wanted to promote these two things. It is not only Qin, nor is it Jin. “

When Xin Lingjun heard such news, he was completely unexpected. At the beginning, I was tempted: if I could only produce some food, I could get an elite army, attack the city, and expand the territory, which seemed to be a very cost-effective thing. If you think about it, if this army runs rampant on its own soil, it will be bad! Thinking about it again, isn't it the same thing for countries to help each other? For a while, my mind was confused, and I couldn't figure it out.

Seeing that Xinlingjun was in deep thought, Chen Xiao was also silent for a moment, and then took the initiative to break the silence and said, "The strength of the Qin soldiers is also known to the world. and there is not much food needed. Died in January, three stones of grain. The first soldier was given thirty-six stone of grain. Nothing to fool. There are 10,000 soldiers, and the cost is 360,000 stones. “

Zhang Yu sat in the hatch, although he did not participate in the conversation, but he also had to listen, and he felt that his heart fluctuated and he could not help himself. He didn't expect that behind this war, there would be such a background, such layers of cause and effect, forming a densely woven web that would put everyone into it.
