Xiaofeng and his entourage traveled on the Han River for ten days and were about to arrive in Nanzheng.

At this time, Nanzheng was the territory of the Qin state, and the Qin state was set up here to be managed by local officials. Nanzheng is the real location of Hanzhong in later generations, while Hanzhong County in Chu is only the area of Xicheng and Shangyong, and does not include Nanzheng.

On the water of the South Zheng Han River, there is the Han Water Pavilion Station, the pavilion chief is the smallest official of the Qin State, and the South Zheng Han water section is led by the pavilion chief Wu Zhang to guard the waterway and check the past business travel.

Xiao Feng walked fifty miles away from Nanzheng City, stopped to discuss with Ding Hu and others, and Xiao Feng said: "I am going to bribe the Qin army, and I need to hide from the Qin people before I can do this." The people of the Qin Dynasty must check the goods before they can pass the customs. But the gold silk I carried in the ship must not be known to the Qin people. ”

Mo Fei said: "This matter can be solved by Brother Fool, and I promise that the Qin people will not be investigated." ”

Xiaofeng was overjoyed and said: "I know that Brother Mo must have a way, and besides, how can I not let the Qin people investigate?" ”

Mo Fei said: "I was originally from the Mo family, and in this Nanzheng area, there are also disciples of the Mo family. Among them, there is a person I know, named Wu Zhang, who is the head of the Hanshui Pavilion in Nanzheng, and has a good relationship with me. Xiaofeng first moored the ship here, and when the foolish brother went ashore, he saw Wu Zhang first, and told him that the goods transported were gold and silver, which were used to connect with the Qin army. ”

Xiaofeng said: "This Wu Zhang is also a hero of Liangzhou, I have heard of it." But if you tell him bluntly, if he reports to the Qin people, I am afraid that this matter will be ruined. ”

Mo Fei said with a smile: "Xiaofeng doesn't have to worry about this, my Mo family disciple, well-organized, will not be bad." Although Wu Zhang is a Qin official, if he encounters this matter, he must take the Mo family first. Otherwise, it will not be tolerated by the Mo family. ”

Qin Ying said: "The area of Nanzheng, although it is under the jurisdiction of the Qin people. However, in a remote location, there are many cases of officials taking bribes and bending the law. The foolish brother thought that if Wu Zhang secretly helped him, and then bribed the Qin people with gold and silver to guard it, he would be accommodating. ”

Xiaofeng was very happy, so according to Mo Fei's words, he stopped the boat on the shore and asked Mo Fei to go to Hanshui Pavilion to see Wu Zhang.

Mo Fei carried a pound of gold and silver ashore, walked several miles, arrived at a post station, handed over his identity documents, asked for a stagecoach, and galloped to the Hanshui Pavilion outside Nanzheng City to see Wu Zhang.

Wu Zhang was busy with official business in the Hanshu Pavilion, and suddenly the post man reported that the old man Mo Fei was visiting, Wu Zhang was slightly surprised in his heart, and hurriedly went out of the post station to greet him, seeing Mo Fei, the two of them finished their gifts, Wu Zhang asked: "Brother is in Chu State, I haven't come here for a long time, and now I will go to Nanzheng, there must be something important." And enter the post station to discuss in detail. So he invited Mo Fei into the inner room of the post station.

Mo Fei entered the inner room of the post station, Wu Zhang ordered the post guard to serve wine, went to the post guard, and asked Mo Fei: "Qin has already received Bashu, Brother Mo is here today to find out about this matter?" ”

Wu Zhang informed: "Exactly. There is an important matter, please bother my brother for convenience. ”

Wu Zhang said: "Since my brother is a disciple of the Mo family, my brother's business is my brother's business. As long as it is not very difficult, there is no reason to excuse it. Brother, what is the matter? ”

Mo Fei said: "Qin annihilated Bashu, and the king of Chu was afraid that the Qin State would plan for the Han of Chu again, so he used me to transport the gold silk from Liangzhou heroes and came to bribe the Qin army, so that the Qin army could speak well in front of the King of Qin, and don't offend my Hanzhong." He told Xiaofeng about his trip carefully, hoping that he would be accommodating and not to inspect the goods.

After hearing this, Wu Zhang admitted: "This matter is not a difficult matter. Since Xu Haojie personally escorted him, how could I not help him! Brother, rest assured, this waterway is in charge of the foolish brother. The foolish brother gave Brother Mo a document today, and then instructed his subordinates to wait, and when they saw this document, they must not stop the investigation. Brother take this document, and tomorrow will be here. ”

Mo Fei took out a pound of gold and silver, put it on the table, and said to Wu Zhang: "Brother Xian does things, so you can rest assured that your brother is naturally at ease." However, the virtuous brother is an official of the Qin State, and he is not allowed to show up in person, but he is afraid that his subordinates will not be able to do anything. This gold and silver are one pound each, and it is Xu Haojie's brother Xie Xian. The golden brother can take it, and the silver is rewarded to his subordinates. ”

Wu Zhang wanted to excuse himself, but Mo Fei said: "The gold and silver sent by Xu Haojie, if the virtuous brother doesn't accept it, I'm afraid Xu Haojie will be surprised." ”

Wu Zhang was very happy, so he accepted the gold and silver, and said to Mo Fei: "Some small things, why is Xu Haojie so expensive?" Brother can tell Xu Haojie that he can rest assured that he will be here tomorrow. The Qin army has already received Bashu, and I am afraid that the division will pass through Hanzhong in the near future. Xu Haojie can treat each other at the Shiniu Road pass, and he will be able to meet. ”

Mo Fei was overjoyed, so he thanked Wu Zhang, took the paperwork given by Wu Zhang, and said goodbye. Galloped back to Xiaofeng's docking, handed over the documents to Xiaofeng, and talked about the past, Xiaofeng was also overjoyed, so he went ashore, found a family, and bought some wine and food for everyone to eat. Spend the night on the boat and cross over to Nanzheng tomorrow morning.

Wu Zhang had already instructed his subordinates not to check ships with documents. and gave a pound of silver to the guards. In the pavilions set up by the Qin Dynasty, except for the chief of the pavilion, who was a formal official, the other post guards and miscellaneous personnel were all requisitioned or temporarily recruited. These people are either to complete the official conscription, or they are just trying to pay for food and clothing, and only do what the officials tell them, and don't care about anything else. Now that he has divided the money, he will rejoice and obey.

Early the next morning, Xiaofeng set off, and arrived at the Hanshui Pavilion Pass in the afternoon, there were Qin people guarding the pass, Xiaofeng took out the documents given by Wu Zhang, as well as the identity documents of each person, etc., the Qin people guarded the personnel one by one, and saw that there were documents, so they did not check the goods, and released the ship, and they could go to Nanzheng City.

Xiaofeng bypassed the Qin people's investigation, drove the boat and drove up again, to Nanzheng City, Xiaofeng said: "The Qin army wants to be a teacher from Shiniu Road, and we still need to go up to Shiniu Road." Then he prepared to send the boatman on his way. However, the river above Nanzheng is gradually narrowed, and the river is dissatisfied during this time, and it is difficult to reach the Shiniu Road pass.

Xiaofeng then ordered the boat to dock in Nanzheng, hired a carriage and horses, unloaded more than 1,000 catties of gold silk from the ship, loaded it on the carriage, gave the boatman double the price, and told the boatman that it was okay to wait here, and he could go back by himself.

The boatman was grateful, admired Xiaofeng as a person, and was unwilling to go back by himself, so he waited by the Nanzhengcheng River, saying that he would transport Xiaofeng back for free.

Xiaofeng and Ding Hu and a group of four people escorted the carriage, and walked for another day before they arrived at the Shiniu crossing, there is a small city near here, there are about 100 families, Xiaofeng found a house as a guest house, the four of them lived, and stored the gold silk and other things in the guest house. After resting for the night, Ding Hu went to inquire about the news of the Qin army's class.

Three days later, Ding Hu returned and said to Xiaofeng: "I went to the Sword Pavilion and heard that the Qin army had already set off from Chengdu to join the class, and it was already halfway, and it was here in five or six days. ”

Xiao Feng waited here and arranged for Qin Ying to prepare to contact Qin Jun. Mo Fei said: "The Qin army squad has left the Shiniu Road and entered Hanzhong, and will definitely camp and rest. At that time, Brother Qin could disguise himself as a merchant and go to approach the Qin army. ”

Xiaofeng said: "That's very good. So the arrangements were made and the Qin army passed through here.

Since the Qin army received Bashu and returned, they were all full of joy. The Qin State rewards military merits, and those who have meritorious soldiers will be rewarded heavily, so the Qin people are good at fighting. This time he destroyed Bashu, Sima Cuo contributed the most, but Zhang Yi, Du Weimo and others also contributed a lot. But Sima Co was given the addition of the official Zuo Shuchang, but Du Weimo was only rewarded, although the official was added by one level, but it was the same as not being added. Zhang Yi is a guest and is trusted by the King of Qin, it doesn't matter, but Du Weimo is a little unhappy in his heart.

Six days later, the Qin army went to Shiniu Road and entered the southern Zheng boundary of Hanzhong, and Sima Cuo ordered the army to camp and rest. At night, suddenly a man rode to the front of the Qin army's barracks and said to the sergeant: "I am a businessman, and I have sold with your army many times, and I have something to ask to see your commander Zhang Yi today." Thank you for your informative comments. So he gave the sergeant two pieces of silver.

The sergeant got the silver, so he naturally went to report, Du Weimo learned, so he came out to see the person, the person who came was Qin Ying, Du Weimo asked Qin Ying what was the matter, Qin Ying knew the rules of the Qin army in detail, guessed that Du Weimo was the general of the Qin army, and said that there was a Liangzhou hero to reward the army. Du Weimo asked who the heroes of Liangzhou were, and Qin Ying said: "Xu Xiaofeng is also, Zhang Yi is the commander of the deceased." ”

Du Weimo was suspicious, so he came to Zhang Yi's camp to inform him of the incident, Zhang Yi patted his thigh and said, "Oops! It's okay if you don't mention it, Xu Xiaofeng has a great kindness to me, and after I say that I am rich, I will repay him a hundredfold. Today he said that when he came to sacrifice the army, he must have asked for me. It is when I repay the kindness of the past, so let him in. ”

So Qin Ying came out, rode back to the resting place, and reported to Xiaofeng, who asked Mo Fei to take care of the gold and silver, and took Ding Hu and Qin Ying to the Qin military camp.

Zhang Yi invited in, Xiaofeng and Ding Hu and Qin Ying entered the Qin army camp, and went to Zhang Yi's big tent, Zhang Yi sat in the tent and treated each other, and when he saw Xiaofeng and the other three entering, he got up and stood to greet him, and said to Xiaofeng: "Could the visitor be Xiaofeng Xu Ruzihu?" ”

Xiaofeng looked at Zhang Yi, he hadn't seen her for twelve years, she was a lot older, her sideburns were gray, and she saw that Zhang Yi had now achieved wealth, power over the world, and acted very magnificently, and he was very emotional in his heart, so he saluted Zhang Yi and said: "Mr. is now famous in the sea, and I still remember it, it's really moving!" It was Xu Xiaofeng below. ”

When Zhang Yi heard this, he was full of joy and praised Xiaofeng: "It's really ambitious!" When I was poor, Xiaofeng was just a young man, but now twelve years later, I can see the face of the old man again. Xiaofeng is at a good age, Zhang is already old, and the old man is very envious of Xiaofeng's youth! ”

So he brought a seat, served wine, and invited the three of them to sit down and talk.

Xiaofeng thanked him, then sat down with Ding Hu, Qin Ying and others, and Xiaofeng said: "I am a person in the rivers and lakes, and I have never participated in the affairs of the temple. But today, entrusted by Chu Jun, there is something to ask Mr. ”

Zhang Yi said: "Xiaofeng is a young hero! At the beginning, I was gracious, Zhang was a person, and he always knew that he would repay his kindness, since he said that he would repay it a hundred times, today Xiaofeng has something, although he said it. As long as Zhang does his best, there is no reason to excuse himself! ”

So Xiaofeng conveyed the meaning of the king of Chu, saying that he would secretly dedicate a thousand gold silks to the generals of the Qin army, and ask the Qin army to return to the dynasty and speak for the king of Chu in front of the king of Qin, as long as the state of Chu does not send troops to attack Hanzhong, the king of Chu will become a brother with the state of Qin.

Zhang Yi smiled when he heard this: "What does the old man think is difficult? It turned out to be this. As long as there is no leakage of information about this matter, it will definitely be easy to handle. However, if the sergeant learns about it, he will not dare to accept it because of the laws of the Qin State. ”

Xiao Feng said: "It was transported all the way to this place, and no one knew about it, because I was afraid that the sergeant would know that the golden silk was hidden in the village pavilion." ”

Zhang Yi said: "That's it, it's easy to do." After the old man told General Sima in advance, as long as General Sima has no opinion, this matter can be done. So I asked Xiaofeng to leave the barracks first, go back and wait, and send someone to reply tomorrow.
