Chapter Fifty-Four: The Huns Tengger! Qin's four stops!
Under the leadership of Chang Yu, Su Zai avoided the front door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but walked out of a quiet path and went directly to the back door.
Chang Yu glanced around a few times to make sure that there was no problem, so he pushed the door and welcomed Su Zheng in.
"General Su, Xiangye has been waiting in the study for a long time."
"Well, you lead the way."
As soon as Su Zai entered the door, he saw Lu Buwei sitting alone in front of the desk reading some letters.
Seeing that the Su Tribulation had arrived, Lu Buwei raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "General Su is finally here, and I have been waiting for a long time." β
Su Zai replied: "Prime Minister is not strange, there is something to do today, so I am a little late to return home, I knew that the prime minister had been invited, and I dared to let the prime minister wait for a long time, today the prime minister is invited, but the people of Zhao have already replied?" β
Lu Buwei was not polite, and nodded directly: "Wu Yingyuan has replied, at this moment, Zhao Guo has indeed taken precautions against my Great Qin, not only that, King Zhao seems to have invited the Mo family giant to be the head of the army, and these two people are both in Handan at this time, and they seem to have a plan." β
Su Zai frowned: "In this way, it is extremely difficult to rescue the proton." β
Lu Buwei said: "That's true, this Mo family is the top swordsman in the world, not to mention the Mo family's order, ordering the world's descendants, if it weren't for the plan, how could he be invited by that Zhao Dan?" β
Su Zai nodded and said: "Having said that, but the proton has to be saved, this time I went to outwit, and I won't fight with him unless I have to, I don't know how the prime minister will arrange it, and how will I go to Handan, Zhao State?" β
Seeing that Su Zheng did not hesitate and was not moved, Lu Buwei was happy for a while and said: "General Su is really a loyal and righteous person, the king will be very relieved to learn about it!" β
Su Zheng glanced at his lips and said in his heart: "Who is Yingzheng's son, I don't know yet!" β
In fact, Su Zheng also had a lot of thoughts in his previous life, whether Yingzheng was LΓΌ Buwei's son is just a possibility, and countless scholars in later generations have verified that it is not very likely, but this is not important, the important thing is that LΓΌ Buwei thinks yes at this time, just do it.
Lu Buwei suddenly said: "General Su, as Gu Wu Yingyuan said, the general is going to Handan, Zhao State, if he helps, it will be easy to sneak in, but if you want to be able to enter it, you also need to have an identity to facilitate action, I am afraid it will take a lot of effort!" β
Su Zheng couldn't help but be a little surprised, and asked puzzledly, "Why?"
LΓΌ Buwei continued: "To rescue the proton, it is not a one-time effort, if there is nothing to do in the shadows, it doesn't matter, but if you take some drastic actions, I am afraid that it will be easy to attract people's attention, and at that time, once General Su's identity is checked, I am afraid that he will be caught in the net, you know, Zhao people hate the general very much." β
Su Zheng couldn't help but nod and said, "That's true!" β
In this battle of Shangdang County, which of the six countries hates him the most?
I am afraid that he Su Zheng has already been made into a little puppet, hanging in every household of Zhao Guoguo, and being beaten every day.
"Lord Ubao has thought about it again and again, and now he has a good plan!"
"I want to hear about it!"
Lu Buwei smiled and said: "Since the beginning of Zhao Yong's Hufu cavalry, Zhao Guo has relied on cavalry war horses, and the lord of Wubao has operated a horse farm for several generations, and now he is also a nobleman of Zhao State, and he is also quite familiar with Zhao Dan, and fifty percent of the war horses in the Zhao army rely on the supply of the lord of Wubao. β
Su Zheng's expression lit up, and he said, "Could it be that the lord of Wubao wants me to be a person in his horse farm and go to Handan to send horses?" β
Lu Buwei laughed and said, "General Su is really smart!" However, not really, if this is the case, I am afraid that your identity will not be hidden for long and will still be revealed. β
Su Zheng was puzzled, "Why is this?" β
Lu Buwei said: "General Su went to the rescue, but there are many strategies, with the talent of the general, it is difficult not to be noticed!" β
"Zhao Guo, Zhao Sheng, Zhao Bao, Guo Kai, Zhao Mu and others are general? If the general is noticed by any of them, can An not check your identity? Once it is confirmed, it is in the mansion of the lord of Wubao for no reason, and then not only you, but also the lord of Wubao will be implicated. β
"This?" Su Zai was really amazed in his heart, this Lu Buwei is really a strange person, it can be said that everything is thoughtful, and it is not without reason that this person can become the prime minister of a country.
"Su Zheng admires, the prime minister is wise! I don't know what the prime minister's method is? β
"Naturally, there is a way to do this, whether this matter is successful or not, it will inevitably implicate the lord of Wubao, so how can the lord of Wubao not know? But what if you are not a retainer of the lord of Wubao, but a Xiongnu horse merchant who deceived him Wu Yingyuan? β
"Shhh...... Wonderful! "Su Zheng figured it out, all of them are human spirits!
Lu Buwei said with a smile, "General Su, exactly one month later, it is Zhao Dan's birthday, and all the guests from all over the world will go to the Handan Palace to pay their respects, and the lord of Wubao has ordered a batch of war horses from the Xiongnu Teng tribe this time, and one of them is a congratulatory gift that he is going to give to King Zhao." β
"And you just need to follow the Teng tribe and escort this group of war horses to the border of Zhao State, where the lord of Wubao is located, Daijun."
"When the time comes, Lord Wubao will justifiably take you into Handan."
Su Zai said: "The prime minister is really thoughtful, the identity of this Teng tribe, presumably the prime minister has already arranged it?" β
Lu Buwei laughed: "I know that I can't hide it from General Su!" β
Lu Buwei suddenly clapped his hands, and a voice soon came from outside the door: "Prime Minister, Tenggebu is here!" β
Su Zheng looked back, only to see a sturdy young man of twenty-seven or eighteen suddenly appear, although he spoke in the Central Plains language, but it was quite stiff.
Especially in a hufu, it is not difficult to see that he is a Hun foreigner!
LΓΌ Buwei stretched out his hand and called Tenggebu in, and then said to Su Zai: "General Su, although this person is a Huns, he is also my LΓΌ Buwei's doorman, and he can become my LΓΌ Buwei's doorman, he has his own set of extraordinary skills, Tenggebu's ability is to change his appearance!" Moreover, he is a member of the Teng tribe, and this time he will take you, and you can easily reach the Teng tribe. β
LΓΌ Buwei continued: "General Su, please rest assured, although this time we have to go north through the pass to the Teng tribe, and enter the Zhao land in the east, although the road is a little rugged, but if it goes well, you can reach Daijun in seven days, and then you hold this token, and the lord of Wubao will do his best to help." β
Su Zai nodded and said, "Since the prime minister has already arranged it, then Su Zai can go at any time!" β
Lu Buwei's expression spread, his eyes were bright, and he said: "That's good, although there is still a month before King Zhao's birthday, the sooner you go, the better you prepare, General Su thinks it's appropriate, and the prime minister listens to you." β
Although Su Zai knew that Lu Buwei was anxious, he was indeed ready for some of the previous layout and planning of this matter.
Then he said, "Then let's set off after sunset tomorrow." β
Tenggebu said: "General, tomorrow afternoon, I will go to the general's mansion to prepare for the general's disguise." β
β¦β¦
The next day, after Su Zheng had lunch, he left a letter to Wang Ji in front of the table!
"The general is on top, the last general Su Zheng is lurking to Handan in Zhao this time, because the matter is big, so I have to hide people's eyes and ears, patrol the border, please be sure to prepare early, if Lu Xiang blocks, I will hold my letter and inform me that it is about rescuing the proton, and he will ...... day."
Su Zheng carefully checked it three times, and then ordered someone to send this letter to Wang Yu's mansion.
Su Zai is so careful, and it is expected that in this Xianyang, there are a lot of eyeliner, why don't you go to see Zichu all the time, it is to give a signal to the outside world, I Su Zai has no intention of going to the court.
A moment later, a person with a figure very similar to Su Zheng appeared in front of him, followed by Tenggebu!
The former is naturally a stand-in, and after learning that Teng Gebu was good at changing his appearance yesterday, Su Zheng had the intention to find someone who was somewhat similar to himself.
β¦β¦
In the night of the day!
Whoosh, two figures appeared from the shadows!
After several tosses, the two came to a horse farm, and beside Tenggebu, there was a dark-skinned, slightly heroic young man, dressed in a bearded suit, and the corners of his mouth looked a little cynical, but the sword at his waist was eye-catching.
"Old man, give me two horses, I've been fed grass, I'm going out of the city, this is my brother Tengger!"
Su Zheng, who turned into Tengger, glanced at the old man, and spoke in a Central Plains dialect with a plugged accent: "Ge Laozi, look at a fart, go quickly!" β
The old man scolded secretly: "If it weren't for the amount of money you gave, the old man wouldn't care about you barbarians!" β
β¦β¦
The two rode all the way to the north gate of Xianyang, and were immediately stopped by the Xianyang guards.
Tenggebu stepped forward and showed the token in his hand, "I am Prime Minister Lu Cheng's guest, entrusted by Prime Minister Lu Cheng, I went out of the city overnight to buy some goods, and opened the city gate quickly." β
The guard scrutinized the token before proceeding.
Su robbed the guards on horseback and passed by, and scolded unhappily: "Ge Laozi, it's really not long-sighted!" β
The purpose of the two of them was to go to Dingyang first, and then arrive at Xiaoguan from Dingyang, leading to the Saiwaiteng tribe.
There are four most important passes around Xianyang, the capital of Qin: Hangu Pass in the east, Wuguan Pass in the south, Sanguan Pass in the west, and Xiao Pass in the north. These four levels are indispensable and are called "the four stops of Qin".
At this time, it was Meng Wu and Meng Tian who was still a teenager who were guarding Xiao Pass!
However, Lu Buwei specially explained that for the sake of safety, they must not reveal their identities, even if they show their tokens, without the king's order, Meng Yi will not be able to let them pass through the pass.
As for how to get out of the pass, it is naturally a matter of Tenggebu.
The two chatted all the way, and when they got acquainted with each other, Tenggebu also let go of his identity as General Su Zheng.
However, the words are quite admirable, the Huns respect the strong, and they don't attach too much importance to the identity and power of the outside world.
The Xiongnu were more important than interests and did not pay attention to the covenant, which was also related to the environment in which they lived.
The so-called, the crown with the Warring States Seven, and the Three Kingdoms are on the side of the Xiongnu, these Three Kingdoms refer to Qin Zhaoyan.
At this time, the Xiongnu were far less powerful than the Han Dynasty, most of them were still tribes, the tribes were divided into large and small, the Teng tribe was located in the north of the Qin State, belonged to the middle tribe, and made a living by selling horses and salt lakes to make salt, and the Lou Fu north of the Zhao State, Lin Hu belonged to the big tribe, good at guerrillas, and caused a huge threat to the northern border of the Zhao State.
Su Zheng was a little curious, it stands to reason that the Xiongnu and Great Qin were enemies, why they were able to enter Great Qin and became Lu Xiang's doorman.
Tengge preached: "Tengger doesn't know, in fact, many people from the Xiongnu tribe will enter the Central Plains, in addition to some normal trade, naturally there are some unsightly trade!" β
Su robbed clearly, the Xiongnu is slavery, think about it, the Xiongnu Hetao area is where the Teng tribe is located, there is a huge salt lake, salt has been controlled in the Qin period, if it is private salt, when it is a huge profit, even if you risk looking at the head, there are definitely people who will risk their lives.
Su Zheng asked: "You have been in Guanzhong for a long time, and this time you suddenly returned to the tribe, and there is one more person out of thin air, will your Shan Yu doubt the identity of the general?" β
Tengge preached: "No, it's not sudden, although I'm in Guanzhong, but the caravans in the tribe often come and go, the Donghu tribe has recently invaded my Teng clan, Shan Yu has already issued an order, ordering me to wait for all the Teng men to return to defend against strong enemies, and your identity is Sange's son in the Central Plains?" β
When Su Zai heard this, he was shocked: "Donghu? Isn't the Donghu tribe outside the Yanmen Pass of Zhao State? β
Thinking of this, Su Zheng suddenly thought that this Yanmen Pass guard is the famous Li Mu, this time he went to Handan, the plot is very great, this Li Mu is a huge stumbling block for him!
