Lian Po said: "Where is Young Zhao?" ”

The envoy said, "It's in the army!" If it is not supported, it will be ordered to rest in the camp and be nourished with porridge. After Lian Po asked, he waved his hand to let the military envoy retreat, and said: "His words must not be false, and he must not leave the house within a day!" The envoy departed.

After the envoy left, the four of them fell into deep thought. Pingyuan Jun asked, "Is his words true, but false?" ”

Lian Po said: "Check that his words are not false. Only what he says is not true, but it is difficult to know the truth when he hears it to young children. ”

Pingyang Jun said: "The other may have something to lose, and if the Changping army is defeated, there will be no void." ”

Pingyuan Jun said: "If Changping is defeated, Qin will enter Handan, what can I do?" ”

Yu Qing said: "The Qin people killed 400,000 Zhao people, and those who injured themselves will also be many. Both defeats were injured, and Zhao still had the strength to protect himself. If Qin attacks it, he will bring defeat on himself. ”

Lian Po said: "Don't worry about it, I have to be prepared." If the Qin people can't come, I can't be prepared. ”

Pingyang Jun said: "Changping 400,000, it is still unacceptable." What will Handan do? ”

Lian Po said: "The mouth is dangerous, you can stick to it." But he has 10,000 elite soldiers, although he has 100,000, he can't pass. ”

Pingyuan Jun said: "It's all thanks to Lian Qing." ”

Pingyang Jun said: "But guarding Handan, the party will eventually suffer." And the loss of the party, and it is said that it can guard Handan, which is not its plan. ”

Lian Po said angrily: "Rather please be peaceful? ”

Pingyuan Jun said: "What is Yu Qing's plan? ”

Yu Qing said: "War and peace, the two ends of the country, not one can be one." But today's plan is to find out the truth of the chief. ”

Pingyang Jun said: "Zhao Jin, please also retreat." Even if the Zhao army is undefeated, it will not be able to receive help, and it will also be defeated! ”

Pingyuan Jun said: "Regarding Lao Lianqing's arrangement of attack and defense, Pingyang Jun and Yu Qing will plan for peace in detail. Alone in the palace to report to the king. ”

The three of them left, and Pingyuan Jun changed his clothes and came to the palace of King Zhao.

Hearing that Pingyuan Jun asked to see him, King Zhao was cold, knowing that there was no good thing, he hurried to the front hall and greeted Pingyuan Jun in front of the steps. After the plain lord took the salute, the two entered the hall. King Zhao didn't wait to sit down, that is, he couldn't wait to ask, "What is the matter of Changping?" ”

Pingyuan Jun said: "Wang Cheng is wise, Zhao Jin came to report, the Changping army was killed, the corpse was burned for three days, and the smoke lasted for a long time!" ”

King Zhao's face turned pale and he was almost invincible. He braced his arms on several cases with all his might, keeping himself from falling, but the tremors of his whole body had exposed his heart.

Pingyuan Jun hurriedly stepped forward and supported King Zhao. Seeing that there was no one in the palace, King Zhao fell helplessly on Pingyuan Jun and sobbed in a low voice. Pingyuan Jun hugged him, stroked his shoulder, and said: "There is only Zhao Jin's report, and the minister will listen to it and report it to him!" ”

King Zhao hissed: "The widow is also guilty!" ”

Pingyuan Jun said: "Will be out of battle, not winning or returning, and dividing." Changping was defeated, including dying in battle, and reason. The king has nothing to be sad about! ”

King Zhao said: "Changping will die, and he deserves it." It's a widow ......"

Pingyuan Jun said: "Death Sheji, fortunately!" ”

King Zhao said: "The widow poured the strength of the whole country and fought with Qin in Changping, and finally he was not exempt from defeat, and Zhao Kuo died." It's the sky that will die, Zhao Hu! ”

Pingyuan Jun said: "No. Although Qin won, many of its injured people were injured, and both were injured. May the king revive his will and fight with Qin outside Handan. The minister swore to behead the captives and be ashamed of the snow. ”

King Zhao said: "Will the plan be released?" ”

Pingyuan Jun said: "In the past, the war was in a hurry, the countryside was barren, and spies were not good. Now we should send more of them to find out their feelings, so as to obtain the truth. From Shangdang to Handan, all the troops were ordered to defend the palace, and the ministers should reorganize the armament in Lianqing to treat the Qin people! It is to order Pingyang Jun and Yu Qing, Xuan and Qin He, to wait for the time, to disperse their ambitions! ”

King Zhao said: "There are still few widows, and everything depends on you!" May the monarch take the temple community as the priority, and the widow as the light! ”

Pingyuan Jun said: "Be careful! The ministers heard that the Qin people had relapsed and the soldiers were in Changping, and they were afraid that Changping was still not lost, and Qin was about to run out. ”

King Zhao weakly broke out of Pingyuan Jun's arms and said, "Changping will die, don't leave anything to chance!" ”

Pingyang Jun and Yu Qing decided that night to send envoys to the princes to spy on the hearts of various countries. The most troublesome thing was the Qin State, and it was decided that Yu Qing would go there in person.

Yu Qing did not go to the Qin State with great fanfare, but mixed in with the merchants and secretly sneaked to Luoyang. In order to find out about Changping, Yu Qing did not take the waterway, but poured the periphery of Taihang Mountain, walked for about ten days, and arrived in Luoyang. The news heard along the way was very bad: the Qin army withdrew from Changping one by one; None of the soldiers conscripted in Hanoi fought a single battle, and they were given a knighthood in vain, causing regret from those who spent money to be exempted. When Yu Qing arrived in Wencheng, he heard that Mengjin's boats had been requisitioned, and it had been more than ten days since he crossed the river with the Qin army every day. The Mengjin section of the Yellow River is all closed, and the upstream and downstream are not accessible; All business travelers should stay ten miles away from Mengjin and are not allowed to enter. Yu Qing dressed up as a fisherman, dressed in a hat and a hat, drove a flat boat, fished in a reed, and watched the Qin army cross the river.

After several days of observation, Yu Qing was secretly frightened. Thousands to 10,000 people cross the river every day. And now that it has been a few days, how can 100,000 people have retreated? Yu Qing secretly thought, how many people did the Qin army have in Changping? If the Qin army also lost 400,000 casualties, the Qin army should have 500,000 in battle!

And what made Yu Qing even more shocked was that he saw King Qin's guard of honor! When he was in Handan, he had heard that King Qin personally went to Hanoi and requisitioned all the men over the age of fifteen in Hanoi, and he was still mentally prepared for King Qin in Hanoi, but seeing King Qin's guard of honor still made him feel a big wave in his heart: he knew that King Qin was a person of the same generation as King Zhao Wuling, and now King Zhao is already his grandchildren, and his grandchildren hid in Handan and did not go to war, but the old grandfather went to the front line in person and went on an expedition thousands of miles away, and the defeat of the Zhao army was not without reason!

Around the Qin King's guard of honor, the army was in strict order, with carts, horses, and livestock, which was obviously different from the troops who crossed the river a few days ago. This made Yu Qing sigh again in his heart: King Qin took out all the swordsmen and fought in this small place!

On the third day after the King of Qin crossed the river, Mengjin's alert was lifted, the upper and lower reaches of the Yellow River were also restored to navigation, and the retreat of the Qin army was over! Yu Qing sighed again: King Qin was the last to leave!

He changed his outfit and returned to the caravan. His caravan had more than ten carriages, loaded with furs and game collected from the Northland, and while the winter was cold, he could travel thousands of miles away and buy them at a good price.

The merchants have been waiting for several days, and finally the ban has been lifted, and everyone is in a hurry to cross the river, and everyone has their own magical powers. Yu Qing and his entourage set off in a group with Chaoge's caravan, they had a solid business network in Mengjin, and soon found tomorrow's ferries for the merchants in the caravan. Yu Qing was assigned to a large ship, and more than a dozen truckloads of goods were all available in one ship. After crossing the river, the convoy of its own cargo was transported in relay. In order not to be noticeable, Yu Qing chose to live in an inconspicuous reverse brigade outside Luoyang City. His merchants went to find their customers and contacted the business.

Luoyang has produced a famous man who shocked the world, Su Qin. Su Qin was a Han scholar, and finally hung the seal of the six countries and became the pride of his hometown. Most of the Su clan people are engaged in vertical and horizontal lobbyists. Yu Qing came this time to find Su Li, the most talented lobbyist of the Su family's generation.

Lobbyists generally wander among the princes, selling their ideas, winning the favor of their employers, and seeking a position and a half-job. But Su Li was different, he seemed to have persuaded the king of Zhou to serve the king of Zhou and live in his own home. In fact, the king of Zhou is called the Son of Heaven, the land is only 700 miles, and there are no more than 1,000 soldiers, but there are hundreds of thousands of households, which are completely supported by the merchant world. There is a field outside Luoyang City, and there is a tomb on the Beibi Mountain, which is the dream of countless people. Su Li not only has land in Luoyang, but also has shops in the city, and he goes in and out of the gate of the princes and the Son of Heaven, and he is also a famous family in Luoyang.

Yu Qing visited through Zhao Guo's secret channel, and Su Li naturally greeted him, and the two of them held a banquet in the Su family's mansion outside the city.

After the idle talk, Su Li asked: "In the battle of Changping, the Zhao army was killed, and when you come, there will be a success." ”

Yu Qing said: "The battle is not won, but it is just peace!" ”

Su Li said: "What will Qing say to advance?" ”

Yu Qing said: "Zhao Chu was defeated, Handan was shaken, if he appeared in Xianyang, he would be captured!" That's why there's no way to do it. ”

Su Li said: "Although Zhao is defeated, Qin is also embarrassed. Occasionally, you will be able to enter. ”

Yu Qing said: "That's why it's entrusted to Li Qing!" ”

Su Li was a little surprised, and said, "Yu Chen? ……”

Yu Qing said: "Qin and Zhao are fighting, and it is difficult to get through. But if you solve it in the middle, you will get it. ”

After pondering for a moment, Su Li asked, "What's the value?" ”

Yu Qing said: "100 gold." ”

Su Li said: "Three hundred gold." ”

Yu Qing said: "Two hundred." ”

Su Li laughed and said: "Zhao was broken by Qin, and all the princes in the world trembled. Qin Jian pointed to Handan, he will get great profits, but he will also get a concubine. ”

Yu Qing said: "No. Although Qin defeated Zhao, there were many injuries. Now I want peace but I can't do it. If you go to it, it will be done. ”

Su Li said: "Rudao Qin Li is damaged? Definitely! At the beginning, Qin conquered Bashu and got 40,000; Levy in Nanjun, get 20,000. These numbers are not Qin's land, but are used by Qin. Later, he regained the armies of Beidi, Shangjun, and Guanzhong, and Zhao wanted to refuse to Changping, and Qin only had more than 100,000 people! ”

Yu Qing was shocked and said, "Is this true? ”

Su Li said: "If you don't believe it, you can count Qin Zao!" ”

Yu Qing said: "Qin is cold food, what a stove!" ”

Su Li smiled: "I laughed at Qing!" Although he has no stove, he can also know how many camps. The Qin army is only more than 20 battalions, and it must be false! ”

Yu Qing said: "Qin has more than 100,000 soldiers, how can I Zhao 450,000 people?" ”

Su Li said: "Although Qin is only 100,000, there are many people who carry it. Guanzhong transports grain, as for Hedong; Hedong men are burdened, women are fried, and they are over the years! There is a salt pond to the east of the river. Qin has exchanged salt for grain for several years, and has accumulated countless grains. Today, the warehouses are empty. All things considered, the crowd is better than Zhao Duo! Zhao Yunliang Handan, only one or two years old. Changping Zhao pawn, often half eaten. In September, those who were not allowed to enter the grain millet were not allowed to enter for more than ten days, and Zhao Zhong collapsed. Non-war crimes also. ”

Yu Qing said: "Weiqing's words, how can the minister know!" However, Zhao Si and Qin Ren are one, and they hit it with a drum, and they are unbreakable? ”

Su Li said: "Changping Road is narrow, even if there are 100,000, it is not victorious, and there are 400,000 people. Zhao doesn't know the soldiers, but he knows that the more is the victory, and he doesn't know the use of the outnumbered. ”
