Ren Xiaochuan floated on the Qinshui River, and Chen Xiao and Xinlingjun talked freely in the boat. Xinlingjun was humble and respectful, and raised the questions in his heart one by one; Chen Xiao was very patient, answered the questions raised by Xin Lingjun one by one, and also explained his purpose of coming east: to match the alliance between Qin and Wei and Han, and in the future, Wei and Han could "lease" the Qin army to attack the city and seize the land, and expand the territory. Even the rent was clearly real: thirty-six stone per soldier. - This is actually not much, according to the grain of thirty dollars per stone, it is more than a thousand yuan. Liang Wei Gongzi is in Daliang City, although he can hire a soldier for ten yuan, but it is not organized, there is no combat effectiveness, and it takes a lot of effort to adjust, train, and integrate, and here, it is an organized army, and it can fight and win the battle if it is pulled out! Rent a soldier for a thousand dollars, or not a loss.

Xin Lingjun felt that if he was allowed to think like this, it would be difficult to have a result, so he simply put this matter down and discussed it later, and raised another question, saying: "The friendship of the country, the envoys come and go, and they rush to the bottle, but why not storm the country and coerce it with force?" ”

Chen Xiao said: "There are also helpless people. The Qin people followed the Qin law, and the prisoners tried their best to be one year old, hoping to fight a battle to get rid of the crime; The official also wants to fight, and the actual household. Breaking the bottle, the merit is in the temple, what does it have to do with the prisoners? Therefore, the army will be in the wilderness, and then it can be. ”

When Xin Lingjun heard this, he felt that he couldn't cry or laugh, why did the country's plan call a group of prisoners to give it away? There is a war every year, and there is a war when it can be resolved peacefully, and if there is no war, the prisoners will not do it! What is this called!

Chen Xiao seemed to see through Xin Lingjun's mind and explained: "This way of strengthening the country is also difficult. The country is strong by ploughing and fighting, and the people are engaged in ploughing and warfare, and the Lord will plough and fight, and the people will be safe. The land of Qin is vast, and there are still many uncultivated people, and it is actually difficult to fight every year! Han and Wei are the eastern roads of Qin, and Qin Dongdong will fight with Han and Wei, and the rest of the country. It is inevitable. Or with Qin Lianheng, Qin fake Tao and get east, then the two are safe. ”

Xinlingjun was silent for a long time, and said abruptly: "Virtue is by all people, blessings in all directions, and this saint wishes." Expand the territory, Suiyuan Huai, this holy king's deeds are also. What does it have to do with me! ”

Chen Xiao said: "In today's troubled times, the soldiers are eliminated from the war, the people are relieved, and the saints are also; If you don't miss the agricultural time, you will have the wealth of the world, and the holy king will also. But the first to change. ”

Xinling Jun said: "Chen Gong's words, no taboo to lead!" Illness can be raised, poverty can be helped, chaos can be cured, war can be cured, this is not the behavior of a saint! But the world, the poor and sick, the war continues, and the people are hanging upside down, how difficult it is! ”

Chen Xiao said: "This sincerity is the same heart of people with lofty ideals in the world. ”

Xinling Jun said: "What do the people of the world do? ”

Chen Xiao said: "Those who are in chaos in the world are the first to fight." Therefore, the journey of the warriors is also the first to stop the war: the end of the war has not begun, and it is invisible; The end of the war has begun, and it has disappeared before the war; The two formations are opposite, and they are not killed; The killing has risen, and the salvation has survived. ”

Xinling Jun said: "Since the battle of Kaifeng today, how can Chen Gong save him?" ”

Chen Xiao said: "The battle of Kaifeng is in Qin. Qin is based on the law, and every year must fight, and it is difficult to fight. Therefore, when there was no war, diplomacy Han and Wei were said to be Lian Heng. Han said that he did not accept it, but only gave grain and straw; Wei said that he had not yet entered, and the Qin people had arrived. In the north for a while, the Wei army was lost, and the Qin people were thousands of leaders. Wanting to take advantage of the victory and win the city, General Lai Mang changed the formation at the opportunity, and Qin had no city to attack, so he attacked Kaifeng with a light army to strangle the throat of Wei. Daliang closed the city for three days, the goods were not continued, and the grain was difficult to support, so he sought peace and was able to do business. Qin people allow it. However, if Qin wants to retreat, he can't finish his valley without ten cities. — or in the ...... of 100,000"

Hearing this, Xin Lingjun didn't know whether he was frightened or frightened, he only felt that his hands and feet were cold, his whole body trembled, and he was a little trembling when he spoke, and said: "The harm of Qin Law, why should Wei bear it!" …… If you want 100,000 heads, you can get them from Huayang! ……”

Chen Xiao smiled, took out a gourd from under the bilge, and said, "A gourd of liquor, how can the son drink it?" Don't worry about its poison! My life is in the hands of Mr. Zhang, how dare I disadvantage my son in the cabin? ”

Xin Lingjun recovered from his anger and looked at Zhang Yu. Zhang Yu was sitting in the hatch, probably out of nervousness, his left hand tightly grasped the scabbard at his waist, his right hand grasped his right knee, his body leaned forward, staring at the tiger, it was indeed a posture that he could draw his sword at any time. Hearing Chen Xiao's ridicule, and seeing Xin Lingjun looking over, Zhang Yu also woke up from the shock, and found that his posture was indeed disrespectful, so he hurriedly bowed and saluted: "The kid is formless!" Intentions follow the public's words, and the heart is relaxed, and he dares to collide with Chen Gong! ”

Chen Xiao said: "Naturally, there is no doubt! I am not bad for my son, and my husband is not good for me! Childe's heart is shaken, and it may be difficult to hold himself. May it be calmed down with a drink! He shook his gourd again, and there was the sound of gurgling water in it.

Xin Lingjun took the gourd with both hands, put it in front of his knees, and said: "The kid is rude to Chen Gong, Chen Gong is not to blame." He saluted Zhang Yu and said, "May Mr. untie the sword!" ”

Zhang Yu was stunned for a moment, but then took out the sword from his waist and handed it to Xin Lingjun. Shin Lingjun took it and put it in front of his knees. He took out two dusty bowls from the side, soaked them in the river water, put them in front of his knees, pulled off the wooden stopper, poured half a bowl of wine into the two bowls respectively, picked up one bowl, and put his hands on Chen Xiao, and said: "Chen Gong's words, if you are angry, you have never heard of it, and you don't feel that your heart is fluttering, and you are suddenly lost, and you are sweating." Gaffe and disrespect, capital crime capital crime! ”

Chen Xiao took the wine, took a sip, and held it in his arms. Xin Lingjun picked up the other bowl in front of his lap and took a sip as well. The two of them lifted the bowl at the same time and drank it all.

Chen Xiao said: "I have read a lot of people, but I have not seen a good scholar like Gongzimin." Gongzi reads the book of sages and sages, and has not heard of the way of the king. Shang Jun martingale was born in Wei, but he actually started in Wei, and he was the concubine of Wei Xianggong's grandson. On his deathbed, he recommended the martingale to the king, saying that if it could not be used, he would be killed, and not used by the princes. If he regrets it, he will tell him to die. Martingale said, the king can not use the words of the king to appoint his ministers, and can he use the words of the king to kill the ministers? So it didn't work, but it was thrown into Qin. The study of martingale also runs through ancient and modern, and the emperor's hegemony is all passable, and it is suitable for the times to control it. It is also in Qin, and it is strictly punished and ruled by law, and it is known that Wei does not believe in loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness! The essentials just change at any time. ”

Xinling Jun said: "The public is omniscient, and the kid understands it deeply but does not understand it." Now Qin started the war, occupied my Kaifeng, and forced ten cities. The kid lives in Huayang, and Chen Gong knows that there are 100,000 heads. If the idea is to stop the war, what should it be? ”

Chen Xiao said: "The people, the foundation of the country, is also unshakable. Although Qin kills people, he believes in the law. The law is believed and practiced, and there is no unheard of murder, but the punishment is left behind. If you have made meritorious contributions and are exempted from sin, you are still a good citizen. Isn't it merciful to serve as an army with the remnants of the torture, and not to want to kill or wound them, but to save them with peace? The time is also, the momentum is also, it is appropriate to dedicate the city! ”

Xinling Jun said: "Those I am confused by, my land is limited, and Qin's desire is endless. How can you fill the infinite desires of a limited land? Ten cities today, ten cities tomorrow, all in Weidi! ”

Chen Xiao said: "Childe's words are very appropriate! If we think about it, we can't do it, but with Qin Lianheng, we can slow down the battle a little. ”

Xinling Jun said: "Lian Heng has to suspend his difficulties, the war is not in Wei, but in other countries, it is not a strategy to stop the war." Other countries are exhausted, and Wei still deserves it. ”

Chen Xiao said: "In the past ten years, there may be other changes. Things are easy to change, and they are not puzzled! ”

Xinling Jun said: "What do you mean? ”

Chen Xiao said: "In the past, King Wu of Qin entered Luo and peeked at Jiuding, and the world is not dominated by Qin generals!" Ran Wu Wang died in one dynasty, when Qin Wangji was still in Yan, and Huiwen wanted to establish a strong son. It is known that King Wuling of Zhao ascended the throne with soldiers to protect Ji, and Wei Ran responded to it, so he established Yan, and has been in office for thirty and three years. Wang Zhili also, with Mi Bazi as the queen mother, Wei Ran as the general, and after chasing Wei, the alliance Chu Huai Wang Yu Huangthorn. It's time, everyone is called the combination of Qin and Chu, and half the world is gone, who can compete with it! How could it be that the prince of Chu killed people and returned, and the king of Chu was captured by Qin when he met the alliance, and the Qin-Chu alliance was defeated, and the princes rose up to attack it. At that time, Qin was lonely and helpless, and he was in danger! And Wu Anjun also rose up, with tens of thousands of people to kill the coalition army of 240,000, Qin Sui turned stronger, and forced the three Jins. It is also the time, the king of Qin is the emperor of the west, the king of Qi is the emperor of the east, and the hero of the first generation of Gu is also. And together, Qin was shattered; And the king of Qi destroyed the Song Dynasty, causing disaster to himself. The five-nation alliance army went straight into the Qi country, and Qi was wiped out in a few days, and it was only two cities. Unintentionally Yan Wangxue, Le Yi ran to Zhao, and Qi Nai recovered his country with two cities. The world is unpredictable, and it is here! Childe thinks about ten years later, and he doesn't know what will happen in the world ten years later! ”

Xinling Jun said: "If the king does not offer ten cities, will he sacrifice Huayang?" ”

Chen Xiao said: "The son is the master Huayang, first of all, he is invincible. The good of the good, too. Qin enters the heart of Wei, and he will be rewarded, and he can get out. Qin is a prisoner, Wei is a rush, and it is not difficult to distinguish between gains and losses. Can the son last, but can the farming time be mistaken? Wei will be from Qin Yiye. Chen Xiao said very affirmatively.

When it came to the issue of agricultural time, Xin Lingjun could only be silent. The war continues, not only the front line of Daliang-Kaifeng is not allowed to farm, including the townships such as Huqi where troops are dispatched, agricultural affairs will also be affected, and if it is not good, next year will be another hungry year, and they will come out to fight. - Xinlingjun discovered that Wei, like Qin, had a reason why they had to fight: famine. In the year of hunger, the harvest was not enough to die, so the peasants could only be organized to come out to fight and steal other people's grain for the New Year. At the time, alms were thought to lead to the idea of dependence among the people, and were not recognized; Instead, it is preferable to go out and rob in an organized manner.

But if you want to grab the farm, you have to meet all the requirements of the Qin people......

The Qin people did not have such concerns, because those who came out to fight were wars, and those who farmed at home did not interfere with each other...... Moreover, the battlefield is on someone else's land! ……

Or there was a better way to force the Qin people to retreat...... For example, the water and soil are not adapted......
