I have lived forever since the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 394 A scholar dies for his confidant!

When Wei Qing heard this, his breath froze.

"Can you please say it again." He tried his best to keep his tone calm, but there was still some uncontrollable trembling, for fear that he had misheard or understood the wrong meaning.

Chen Luo smiled and repeated it exactly as it was.

Wei Qing nodded heavily, but didn't know what to say.

Needless to say what "Huaiyin Art of War" means, not to mention that the common people of the Han Dynasty understood its value. Even the detailed work sent by the Huns ranked the stolen "Huaiyin Art of War" in the top three, second only to the investigation of the imperial concubine. Horse three-piece suit and Han border defense map.

Liu Ruyi, the king of Huan of the Dai Dynasty, was inspired by the "Song Yi Stolen Book" in "The Heroes of the Late Qin Dynasty". He also used the fake "Huaiyin Art of War" and the border defense map to catch fish, which attracted the Xiongnu to attack with an army led by King Youxian. He escaped in ambush and suffered heavy losses, and this incident became a legend among the Han people.

But this triggered another chain reaction.

Seeing that "Huaiyin Art of War" was too difficult to steal, the Huns set their target on "The Heroes of the Late Qin Dynasty".

After all, King Huan of Dai had tricked them with the design inside, which proved that the theory inside was probably not bad, so they grabbed it and used it as a military book. As for how effective it was, anyway, the Han people at the border only knew about a certain incident of the Huns. The internal struggle caused the grassland to burn inexplicably, which lasted for two or three months. Later, when the Huns went south to rob the market, they could no longer rob "The Heroes of the Late Qin Dynasty".

I heard that this book was among the Huns and was even banned by the Chan Yu.

The Huaiyin Art of War, which the Huns had been craving for decades, had never been published outside.

Of course, people all over the world clearly know that there are three places.

Imperial Library, Huaiyin Marquis Mansion, Yangxia Marquis Mansion.

However, the Huns would never dare to touch these three places.

The royal library is within the palace city, and the palace city is the core of Chang'an. If this place is infiltrated by the Xiongnu, it will not be as simple as stealing books. Wang Zang's position as Lang Zhongling will probably be unsafe.

Huaiyin Marquis Mansion and Yangxia Marquis Mansion are both located in the south.

If the Huns want to send out detailed troops, there are at least three unsolvable problems. If you don't pay attention, your identity will be exposed.

First, there is a big difference in appearance between the residents of the north and the south.

Even if we are both laborers, there is indeed a big difference in appearance between being blown by wind and sand on the grassland and having our backs scorched by the scorching sun in the fields.

Secondly, there are differences in accents and vocabulary between the north and the south.

The Han Dynasty covers a vast territory, stretching thousands of miles across. There are official written texts, but it is impossible to specify a unified title and a unified accent. The Huns pretended to be common people in border counties, and they could be 80% or 90% similar, but when they went to the south, they stood out from the crowd. exists.

Thirdly, the city construction in the north and south is different, so it is not that easy to find the right place.

The streets in northern cities are straight and horizontal, as if they were carved with a knife, while the streets in southern cities are divided by waterways and mountains, showing a "broken shape". Therefore, when pointing the way, people in the two places also use different terms. Northerners People from the south talk more about the north and the south, while southerners talk more about the left and right.

Faced with such a situation, and the fact that Han Xin's name itself was a deterrent, they naturally did not dare to come and steal books.

There may be many other versions of the story, but no one can guarantee whether it is true or false.

After all, the Huns had all been tricked once, so it was inevitable that this would be some big shot's "fishing" bait.

But Wei Qing was sure that Boyu would not lie to him.

If the other party says that he has "Huaiyin Art of War" in his hand, then it must be true.

Wei Qing, who took a deep breath and regained his composure, pursed his lips and said: "Bo Yu, no reward for no merit, I haven't helped you too much, but you have given me too many favors. If you accept this thing again, I’m afraid it will be difficult to repay the friendship in this life.”

If it were given as a gift by someone else, he would have already started to think about what the other person wanted to covet from him.

But it was Boyu who helped him get rid of his status as a riding slave, and Boyu helped win the opportunity to perform meritorious service in disaster relief, and he also helped to match up the woman he liked...

Wei Qing remembered a saying he heard somewhere, which was called "A scholar will die for his confidant."

Although calling himself a "scholar" would only attract ridicule from others, he could do the latter few words.

Die for the one who knows you.

Chen Luo reached out and patted Wei Qing's shoulder gently.

After thinking for a while, he said solemnly: "I once heard my father tell the story of his early years in business. He met countless outstanding people. Each of those people had their own charm. My father learned a lot from them, and some of them were human. Since his children had flaws, my father thought about whether he could help them become better, so they supported each other. In the end, the business prospered and both achieved a good outcome.

Therefore, when I see people with outstanding talents, I will feel happy, and I will also improve myself when communicating with them. So I followed my father and tried to help some people who cannot display their talents to move to a bigger stage.

I just provided an admission ticket, and it will be like putting an awl in your pocket. In the end, the awl pierced the pocket because of its own sharpness, and talented people are famous all over the world because of their own talent. "

The reason why he was willing to provide help to Wei Qing was because Wei Qing could already reach a very high position, and he only accelerated the progress slightly.

As for what you can get from it.

It can only be said that Han Xin is a hundred years old, and he was asked by Chen Luo to write another "Huaiyin War Book". Wei Qing in the future will probably not be exempted from the same treatment.

"I understand." Wei Qing was silent for a long time, finally understanding the meaning of the conversation between him and Chen Luo in Yangxia that day.

He didn't say any words of thanks, but he made a silent promise in his heart.

I will die for the one who knows me.

Whoever becomes Boyu's enemy in the future will be my Wei Qing's enemy.

"I didn't usually realize that Bo Yuqian actually had such an ideal. It's so touching." Li Xu, who was sitting next to him, suddenly spoke. He scratched his head, "I'll give you the cost of repairing the threshold."

"Oh? That's great."

The corner of Chen Luo's mouth just raised, but he heard Li Xu add, "I still have to treat you to that meal."

Because Wei Qing was here, Chen Luo resisted the urge to roll his eyes and complained helplessly: "Is your touch worth three copper coins?"

"That's right." Li Xu rubbed his chin, "I'll pay one-third of the meal."

Before Chen Luo answered, Wei Qing spoke first: "How about I take care of the rest? This disaster relief work was done well. Marquis Pingyang gave me a lot of money and food."

"That's impossible." Li Xu quickly waved his hand and refused repeatedly, "I was just joking with Boyu, how can I let you spend money?"

Chen Luo smiled and explained to Wei Qing: "Brother Li, he is not really greedy for this meal, it's just that we haven't seen each other for a long time, we joked with each other to get acquainted with each other again."

Wei Qing suddenly realized, and said a little embarrassedly: "I see, I was presumptuous."

"But if we want to have this meal another day, I'll ask you to come together. It's just the three of us, so don't be formal." Chen Luo answered.

After hearing the previous invitation, Wei Qing wanted to refuse, but after learning that it was just a small gathering and not a large banquet, he agreed.

He didn't have many friends in Chang'an City, so he seldom socialized with them on weekdays. There was no need to miss the opportunity to go out this time, and Li Xu was a descendant of the Mohist family, which gave Wei Qing a natural sense of closeness.

At this time, the attendant brought several plates of snacks and made a pot of tea.

After a few simple bites, Chen Luo brought the topic back on track: "By the way, Wei Qing, let's get down to business." "Huh?" Wei Qing didn't know what he meant, but nodded and swallowed the food in his mouth first.

Could it be that Boyu needs my help for something?

After all, in his opinion, lending "Huaiyin Art of War" to him was already a good result. Boyu didn't even ask that he must come to Chen's house to read it, and that copying was prohibited.

Chen Luo said calmly: "I have a few volumes of "Huaiyin Art of War" brought from Yangxiahou Mansion. You can take them back today and read them first. As for the "Huaiyin Art of War" I mentioned before ", Huaiyin Hou is probably still working on it, and it will take at least half a year to complete.

I will wait for the book of war to be delivered to you so that you can take a look. As for what insights and thoughts you have after reading the book of war, you can write it down on paper and send it to me. I can send it to the Marquis of Huaiyin and let him discuss it with you. discuss. "

The words fell.

The only thing left in the house was the whirring sound of the swaying lanterns made by the cold wind.

Even Li Xu, who loved to make jokes and interrupt people after work, was also shocked and speechless.

This is almost equivalent to talking about the Tao with the Marquis of Huaiyin.

From the perspective of a Mohist disciple, Mo Zi came to life. Not only did he create a special edition of the classics for you, but he also taught you step by step how to make the tools in the classics.

Turning his head stiffly and looking at Wei Qing, Li Xu suddenly felt the difference in the world.

"I'm probably dreaming." After an unknown amount of time, Wei Qing was heard murmuring in a low voice.

You must know that you have never dreamed of such an outrageous thing.

The content of his dream before was that he became a Fang Chehou and had minced meat added to the white porridge he drank for breakfast every day!

Then I woke up from hunger.

As for the opportunity to communicate with someone like the Marquis of Huaiyin, this is a situation that even in dreams would not occur.

"I wonder if you are willing?" Even though the other party seemed a little rude, Chen Luo still maintained a gentle smile on his face.

After receiving an exclusive version of "Huaiyin Art of War" and the opportunity to exchange letters with Han Xin, few in the Han Dynasty could remain calm.

As if waking up from a dream, Wei Qing nodded repeatedly and said: "I do, of course I do."

After saying this, he secretly pinched himself with his right hand hidden in his cuff.

Not dreaming.

Although such an opportunity comes like a dream, there is no need to doubt its authenticity.

The last person to use Huaiyin's name and "Huaiyin Art of War" to deceive people was King Dai Huan.

As for the object of his deception, it was King Youxian of the Huns.

Wei Qing thought to himself that he was not qualified to enjoy the same treatment as King Youxian of the Xiongnu.

Seeing that the other party agreed, Chen Luo nodded with a smile and let out a breath of fresh air.

All plans were completed, everything was as expected, and there were no surprises.

He and Wei Qing "divided" Han Xin's fortune.

Chen Luo gained prestige, relying on Han Xin's praise to win the support of the Han family in Huaiyin and the respect of Liu Che.

This would be a great obstacle to his future efforts to form a Taixue team and gain a firm foothold in the court.

In a short period of time, Wei Qing could only "hide behind the scenes" and had no way to have the status of Han Xin's named disciple, but he could get tangible benefits.

Han Xin's reputation is a help, but the knowledge related to military strategy in his mind is the real wealth.

If Wei Qing could learn Han Xin's military strategy, the help it would bring to him would not be less than the false reputation.

After all, Chen Luo has the identity of a descendant of the Chen family in Yangxia, so to gain the support of the Han family in Huaiyin is to let nature take its course, which can have the effect of one plus one being greater than two.

But Wei Qing has this kind of background, which is actually a burden to him now, and he is easily burdened by fame.

Therefore, the current arrangement is the most reasonable and can maximize benefits.
