Chapter 3: Mangchen

A person next to him said: "Changping Zhao lost 400,000 people, and now he still has 400,000, don't be deceived?" ”

Just now, the man questioned Yu Qing repeatedly, and when Yu Qing saw that it was him again, he simply replied: "It's not a bully!" ”

Su Li said: "Zhongqing may have inconvenience, don't say anything, don't bully!" ”

The three of them all said: "Don't dare to bully!" ”

Su Li said: "What does Zhao Zhi want? ”

Yu Qing said: "It is not to sacrifice the city and get to Qin Yuye." ”

Su Li said: "I should worship Zhao Pingyuanjun, it is true that Si Yan is also!" What will it be? ”

Yu Qing said: "Wei has to be born and raised for ten years, and he has to practice two or three hundred thousand, although it is not enough to fight with Qin, he can also be a strong reinforcement!" ”

Su Li turned to the person in the middle on the opposite side again, and said politely: "In the battle of the party, Qin and Zhao are fighting, Qin is victorious and not tired, Zhao is defeated and his strength is not yielding, what will Mr. do?" ”

The man said: "King Han dedicated the party to Qin, and the minister rededicated it to Zhao, wanting to make Qin and Zhao both defeated, and the world will benefit from it." However, although the war broke out, Qin and Zhao were unharmed, and Han was small and could not do anything. But those who are confused, how 400,000 soldiers, there is no harm! The person who spoke was actually Doctor Han Feng Ting, who single-handedly provoked the Battle of Changping.

Su Li said: "The doctor is confused, may Mang Qing solve it!" ”

The man sitting at the end of the seat said: "Although 400,000 people died in Changping, only half of the Zhao people died, and half of them were Shangdang Han people." Among the Zhao people, there are 100,000 elite people in Handan! Qin ......, there are more than 100,000 soldiers, and Guan Sergeant is only 20,000 or 30,000, and the rest are from the border counties. "His person is Mangchen, the son of Mangmao.

Feng Ting said: "How does Mang Qing know? ”

Mangchen said: "Chun Shenjun raised the power of all Chu and visited March, which was his favor. ”

Seeing Mangchen say Chun Shenjun's name, everyone stopped talking. If there is any other prince here who can wrestle with the Qin State, it is only the Chu State. Therefore, the information obtained by the investigation of the Chu State cannot be questioned by others without special reasons. Hearing that the Qin people wiped out more than 400,000 Zhao troops with only more than 100,000, everyone here gasped!

Feng Ting said with some emotion: "There are more than 100,000 Qin people, and more than 400,000 Zhao people, how strong is Qin, and Zhao is weak?" ”

Mangchen said: "I heard that the land is narrow and flat, although there are many soldiers, there is nothing to do, and it is in vain to consume grain and grass ears!" ”

Yu Qing's face was pale, and he didn't say a word. He was in Zhao State during the Battle of Changping, so he naturally knew about the Battle of Changping. When King Zhao transferred troops to Changping, he also secretly applauded King Zhao's decision at that time, thinking that he wanted to give the Qin people a powerful look, but who knew that it became a joke! It's just that he can't figure out how the strong army has become the reason for defeat! But the root cause of Changping's defeat was the lack of grain and grass, which he knew.

Yu Qing was embarrassed to ask, but Mangchen didn't explain, and still said: "Chun Shenjun is willing to worship the kings, if you want to resist Qin, Chu will help him." Or send troops abroad, or go out of Yingdu, and still the king's order! ”

Mangchen's statement made everyone very excited. Su Li said: "The minister came to see Pingyuan Jun at night, and he hesitated, fearing that he would betray Qin's intentions, and he would not be the enemy. He asked again and again, what Yu Qing said, did he believe in Lingjun's intentions? Handan was soldiered, can Xinlingjun save him? The minister has to believe in the help of Lingjun, he is with Qin, and the situation is very good! Dan Richen is willing to see Pingyuan Jun again, and recommend Mangqing to Jun Ke! ”

At the moment, Su Li also introduced his meeting with Pingyuanjun, and reported the situation of the troops withdrawn by the Qin army through Luoyang last year: although there were many disabled people, their emotions were high, and they were obviously not the mental state of the tired soldiers after a long battle. Yu Qing also introduced that he was hiding in a small boat at the time, and watched the scene of the Qin army crossing the river throughout the whole process, which was orderly and neat, not the appearance of a defeated army.

Although the three of them had already talked a lot when they were in the courtyard just now, they could not tell everything because they were afraid of each other, and they were only testing each other. Now with Su Li's mediation and the previous temptation, everyone gradually let down their guard, exchanged information with each other, and even took the initiative to ask for information they didn't know, and they couldn't sleep at night.

After dawn, Su Li took Mangchen to meet Pingyuan Jun again.

Seeing Su Li going and returning, Pingyuan Jun knew that there must be something big, so he hurriedly greeted him. Su Li whispered in a slow voice: "It's the son of the Mang clan, and his father has been in Daliang for a long time...... Pingyuan Jun immediately understood, and hurriedly invited the two into the hall and ordered the entourage to leave.

Seeing the salute and taking his seat, Pingyuan Jun asked: "Since Huayang, I don't know where my father is, like a dragon soaring for nine days, and its traces are unpredictable!" ”

Mangchen just said roughly: "My father avoided his guilt in Chu, and Meng Chun Shenjun did not give up, and temporarily lived in Chen." ”

Pingyuan Jun said: "Chunshen Jun has been in Chu for five years, and his father has been without a trace for more than ten years......"

Mangchen interrupted: "But lie down between the ears of the grass!" ”

Pingyuan Jun knew that Mangchen didn't want to talk in detail, and said, "When the prince is here, he must teach me." ”

Mangchen said: "The king of Chu knew that Changping was in trouble, so he rushed to investigate it and repeatedly investigated it, but he got it. May I tell you! ”

It stands to reason that Zhao was a witness to the Battle of Changping, and his understanding of the situation should be more detailed, but after the fall of Shicheng, Handan's connection with Changping was cut off, and Handan did not know the situation of the Zhao army in the last two months. Pingyuanjun sent people to inquire many times, but they were not allowed to enter, only knowing that the Zhao army was surrounded by the Qin army, and the strength and deployment of the Qin army, and even the deployment of the Zhao army, Pingyuanjun did not grasp it. Seeing that Mangchen was so confident, he arched his hand and said, "I wish to hear the teachings of the son!" But he kept an eye on it, and further added: "Victory is not a soldier, I hope that the son will analyze it in detail from beginning to end!" "Let's start with the beginning of the incident.

Mangchen smiled faintly and said: "The minister has no Changping mountain and river situation, and he is willing to use his fingers to draw it." "On the hall to pick up the soil for the mountain, the road for the beggar, starting from Feng Ting's dedication to the party, to the plain Jun into the party to reward the officials and the people, until Zhao Kuo launched the final blow, the whole story is eloquent, straight from breakfast, until dinner! In the first half of the story, Pingyuanjun is an eyewitness, although there are some discrepancies in the details, but the course of the incident is generally not bad, which makes Pingyuanjun dare not despise: Chunshenjun's intelligence work is hard. This increased Hirahara-kun's interest and confidence in listening.

Su Li didn't have such a comprehensive intelligence, and he also watched silently from the side, interjecting a few words from time to time. Su Li's insight is much higher than that of Pingyuan Jun, and he knows a lot of information, so he can naturally distinguish the value of Mangchen's information. Seeing that Su Li was also listening carefully beside him, Pingyuanjun was even more energetic.

Dinner temporarily interrupted Mangchen's introduction, and Pingyuan Jun left the two to dine at the pavilion. As a feudal monarch under Zhao Guo alone and above 10,000 people, the sumptuous dinner goes without saying. There are guests tonight, and they have added wine and meat. If it weren't for the pavilion, it is estimated that the song and dance would have been arranged. After eating dinner and not taking care of rest, Pingyuan Jun continued to listen to Mangchen finish the last story, and sighed: "Wei Gongzi, I know what I promised!" There was not a single comment.

After a moment of silence, Pingyuan Jun said: "Chunshen Jun has made the prince arrive, and he will be taught!" ”

Mangchen said: "Although Changping is north, although the party is lost, and Zhao is not damaged at all, Qin Fei will not win if the whole country comes to fight." Chunshen Jun ordered to repay the king, stick to Handan, the world will change, and the king will treat it! ”

Pingyuan Jun said: "Zhao and Qin Yu, if they are not empty, in fact, they can't fight!" ”

After a night of discussion, Mangchen was confident and said: "If Zhao does not cut the land and dedicate the city, only with Wei Qi as the head, it will be difficult to marry Qin, and Qin will return!" May Zhao ascend and shout, and Chu will follow. ”

Pingyuan Jun said: "In the past, in Changping, Zhao envoy Anping Jun made Yu Chu alone, and Chun Shenjun stayed in Chen, and there was no single soldier grain into Handan. Anping Junxue, Zhao who was sent by Chu but did not return, why not? ”

Mangchen didn't go around in circles, and replied frankly: "When Changping is in peace, those who don't help Zhao will be injured." An Pingjun is Zhao, the right is also, and it is not real. Buried in the fiefdom of Anping, the ceremony is also, and the wish is also. ”

Pingyuan Jun didn't expect Mangchen to answer so frankly, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, so he said for a long time: "The heart of the Chu people can be described as dangerous!" ”

Mangchen said: "The heart of the Chu people is dangerous, if Qin is in Handan, King Zhao is not supported, Chu will save him!" ”

Pingyuan Jun said: "What is the price?" ”

Mangchen said: "But it's just a big city!" ”

Pingyuan Jun said: "Qin Suo Zhao Liucheng, Chu Suo Zhao Yicheng, there are no less!" ”

Mangchen said: "Qin and Zhao fight, Qin has Zhao one city, Qin Yi and Zhao has declined, and it is two cities." Chu and Zhao Shanchuan are blocked, there is no fighting, Zhao has a city, only one city, Chu is not strong enough, Zhao is not weak. And Handan is not in danger, Zhao does not have to be saved, the Chu soldiers are not out, and the city has nothing to offer. ”

Pingyuan Jun pondered for a while, and said: "The words of the prince are to the point, and they are very heartfelt. May the spring Shenjun be overturned, the good Zhao of the king, and the king will be grateful! ”

Mangchen opened and honestly explained Chu's intentions clearly: I hope you will fight with the Qin State for another three hundred rounds, and it is best to lose both, but if you lose, give me a big city, and I will come to save you. The meaning has been conveyed, and it is useless to say more, Su Li and Mangchen got up and resigned. Pingyuan Jun sent it to the bottom of the stairs, looking at the backs of the two of them in the distance, Pingyuan felt that the future of Zhao State was dark: it was terrifying enough to fight Qin State directly; But even if you win, you will have to face endless blackmail and threats from the princes!

We must not devote all our strength to fighting Qin, we must leave room for Qin! Pingyuan-kun came to such a conclusion in his mind. But how do you do it just right?

Su Li and Mangchen left the pavilion and got into the car together, and Su Li personally drove Mangchen back to his house. After a few steps of driving, Su Li saw that there was no one around, so under the cover of the sound of wheels and horses' hooves, he quietly said to Mangchen: "The son is sharp, and the real Mang's son is also." ”

Mangchen said: "The kid has no form, but he knows one answer and one answer, and he doesn't dare to have him!" If there is a gaffe, may the gentleman teach it! ”

Su Li said: "What I said is very appropriate, I can't do it." However, those who are confused, Chu Yan knows the details of Changping? ”

Mangchen said: "The Qin army has a Chu people, so they know the details. ”

Su Li said: "What does Wu Anjun think? ”

Mangchen said: "See." Wu Anjun, the elder, is strong and strong, and has extraordinary bravery. ”

Su Li said: "Where does it live? ”

Mangchen said: "It is to live in Chuying, see it day and night, and know it in detail!" ”
