The three of them all looked at Meng Shi, and Han Xin was even more strange. His instincts told him that Meng Shi's idea was definitely not a good idea.

Sure enough, Meng Shi looked Han Xin up and down with a smile, and praised him; "Boss, take a closer look at your appearance is still very good, plus you are so young and promising, there are not many women in this world who can not be moved by you, no wonder the princess used to ignore us when she was in Xianyang, but after meeting you, she loved you to death."

Han Xin was looked at by his smiling eyes, and his heart was a little hairy, and he replied angrily; "Say something quickly, let it go quickly, what do you want to say."

Montessori "hehe" laughed a few times and said; "I'm laughing boss, you obviously have treasures around you but you don't know how to use them, what is this called...... Yuanmu is begging for fish, right? ”

At this time, Zhang Er's face had already shown a sudden expression, and his eyes when he looked at Han Xin also showed a knowing smile, while Zong Ze on the side was still at a loss, looking at the two of them with a puzzled expression.

Han Xin laughed and said with a smile when he looked at him; "It's not easy for you kid to learn to use idioms."

Meng Shi raised his head a little proudly and said; "That's natural, my wife forces me to look at this and that every day, disgusted that I am uneducated, I am annoyed by her and have no choice but to watch some, and my stomach is more or less cultured."

Meng Shi was married in July last year, and he married the noble daughter of the Qin royal family, Ying Ke's distant cousin Ying Jiao. This Ying Jiao is known for her beauty in the royal family, and Meng Shi has coveted her for a long time since she was a child, but she has been suffering from success. Although he is the eldest son of the famous Meng's family, and his father and uncle are the two most trusted generals of the first emperor, the proud phoenix Yingjiao in the royal family does not look down on him at all, the second ancestor who inherited his father's honor, and he is indifferent no matter how he shows favor for half a hundred.

It wasn't until after the bitter battle in Xianyang and the thousand-mile attack on the north that Meng Shi relied on his outstanding performance on the battlefield to declare that he was greatly inspired, and Ying Jiao paid attention to this eldest young master of the Meng family who had stalked her. Since Lang You's concubine is intended, Han Xin and Ying Ke intend to promote this marriage, so that the Ying clan can integrate into the upstart represented by Han Xin. So Ying Ke canonized Ying Jiao as the princess of Jincheng as a royal deacon and married Meng Shi as his wife.

Although this Ying Jiao seems to be weak and beautiful, he is really a powerful character, not only taming Meng Shi like a wild leopard, but also forcing him to read and write every day. This became a big joke in Xianyang, and Meng Shi was not ashamed, but proud, looking complacent.

Zong Ze stared at the three of them, confused at all, and couldn't help but speak: "General Meng, what are you talking about?" How could the lower officials not understand. ”

Meng Shi laughed a few more times, looked at Han Xin and squeezed his eyes, and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't understand, it's okay if the general understands." ”

"Boss, I didn't say you, you said that you are usually a normal man, drinking and eating meat with us, riding horses and hunting, I don't see anything pretending to be serious, why are you so inked on this matter. A girl with a lot of water, tsk, I see that her eyes are watery, and she is about to squeeze out the water. is the richest man in the world again, if you want to get her, you still have to worry about what grain and grass you can't eat, her house is your inexhaustible granary. This is going to make you betray your hue, if you don't want me to go up, don't take a seat and don't do anything. ”

Speaking of this, Han Xin couldn't help but be embarrassed, and said with horizontal eyes; "What nonsense are you talking about."

"It was." Meng Shi continued matter-of-factly. "We're all men, and we all know something. You see, I'll help you calculate, from the princess's pregnancy to now, you haven't had that or that for more than a year, you usually look at you well, and you've never slept with any palace maids, I originally thought that your vision was too high. But now that such a beautiful beauty is sent to the door, you are indifferent, this is really a tyrannical thing, but it's a pity. ”

Meng Shi shook his head, with a look of pity on his face, as if he wished that he was Han Xin, and personally got on the horse and took Shangguan Zhishui to do it.

"You say that you are a strong man in the prime of life, and a resentful woman in the boudoir who has been waiting for rain for a long time. The so-called lonely yin does not grow, and the solitary yang is not born, this is exactly what King Xiang intended, the goddess is affectionate, but the boss is so incomprehensible, is it possible that you are not a man. ”

Speaking of this, Meng Shi paused, suddenly looked Fan Han Xin up and down suspiciously, opened his mouth and said; "You don't really have any hidden diseases, do you?"

As soon as the words fell, Meng Shi suddenly felt that he saw a flower, and then his forehead was cold, and the helmet on his head was cut off alive, and a few strands of broken hair fell.

The fish intestines pointed directly at Meng Shi's throat, Han Xin looked at Meng Shi with a smile and asked; "What you just said, I didn't hear clearly, say it again."

Meng Shi barely squeezed out a smile, and hurriedly closed his mouth tightly and didn't dare to say another word, so Han Xin withdrew his sword and returned it to its sheath. Meng Shi breathed a sigh of relief, reached out and touched his forehead, and said with palpitations; "Boss, can you stop doing such an exciting thing next time, in case you miss one day, then I won't die very unjustly."

Han Xin squinted at him and said; "Don't worry, I've always been very confident in my swordsmanship, if you don't want to die, remember not to shrink your head, otherwise don't blame me for the deviation." But even if you lose and kill you, I will let Ying Jiao and the child in her belly take good care of her. ”

Speaking the last sentence, Han Xin's face was full of malicious smiles, Meng Shi shivered, couldn't help but stand upside down, and didn't dare to make fun of Han Xin anymore.

Zhang Er on the side kept smiling and watching the two of them joke, and suddenly interjected; "General, there is a word in your ears, I don't know whether to say it or not."

He was still a little polite to Zhang Er Hanxin, so he stretched out his hand and signaled; "Zhang Sima has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

Zhang Er nodded, and said after a moment of silence; "Although General Meng's words just now are mostly jokes, they are not unreasonable. The Tao family is a century-old family, the richest man in the world, and they are in the grain business. On the other hand, if the Tao family is unwilling to help, then it will be difficult for us to get so much food from other places. ”

Han Xin had a thoughtful look on his face, and only said after a while; "It's not that I haven't thought about what you said, it's just that the Tao family is no longer what it used to be, and most of the materials were taken by Liu Bang, or they couldn't be transported out of the hinterland of Qi State. Moreover, the internal situation of their family is also very complicated, the Long family, who originally cooperated closely with their Tao family, took refuge in the Chu State, and most of their family members also advocated returning to the Chu State. Submission to our Great Qin was decided by Miss Shangguan alone, but the opposition in the family is not small, if we treat the Tao family as a warehouse for arbitrary giving, it will inevitably provoke the rejection of the Tao family, and many of our plans in the Qi country still have to rely on their cooperation to complete, if there is no help from them, it is indeed quite tricky. ”

Zhang Er thoughtfully opened his mouth and suggested; "Why don't we reward their family. Reward them with the corresponding titles, as a way to appease the suspicious hearts of the Tao family. ”

Han Xin shook his head, "No, the military merit title system set by the Shang monarch is the foundation of the Qin State, and it has always been the tradition of the Qin State that non-military merit people are not allowed to be awarded. If this case is set a precedent, it is inevitable that there will be no second or third case in the future, so Shang Jun's law must not be changed lightly, and if it changes, it will affect the whole body. ”

"So what?" Zhang Er asked.

Han Xin pondered for a while, and then said; "Let's talk about it for the time being, I'll go see Miss Shangguan and see if she has any good suggestions."

…….

"That's probably the case, I don't know if Miss Shangguan has any good strategies for me to refer to." Han Xin briefly explained the general situation, then looked at Shangguan Zhishui and spread his hands, and said helplessly.

Shangguan Zhishui Bingxue was smart, how could he not hear the meaning of Han Xin's words, and his face was a little gloomy. He bowed his head, his eyelashes trembling slightly. originally thought that taking refuge in Han Xin was to get a confidant and be able to show what he had learned in life, but now it seems that Han Xin and Liu Bang are actually all the way, just trying to squeeze the interests of these businessmen.

Shangguan Zhishui did not raise his head, but lowered his head and whispered; "Does the general mean that he wants our Tao family to provide your army's military rations?"

Han Xin's smile was a little dry, he felt Shangguan Zhishui's smile slowly becoming cold, so he opened his mouth to explain: "Miss Shangguan, please don't misunderstand, I didn't mean to force you, I just want to hear your opinion." If the Tao family is really rich, I am willing to buy a large amount of grain at a high price. If you need to pay your debt with food, I will give double it in the coming year. ”

Han Xin said a lot to himself, but Shangguan Zhishui just listened quietly on the side, looking at Han Xin with eyes like autumn water, and did not say a word. Han Xin swept over, and when he saw her looking straight at him, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his heart, thinking that she wouldn't really think of herself as the kind of person who crossed the river and demolished the bridge.

He spread his hands and said with a smile; "Miss Shangguan, I also know that it is difficult for the Tao family to come up with the grain deposit now, and I just have the mentality of giving it a try, if I really don't have it, it doesn't matter, I think of another way. I just think that you are a Qi person, and you know the customs of Qi country very well, so I came to ask your opinion and want to learn some experience from you. ”

Shangguan Zhishui suddenly covered his mouth and smiled lightly, this smile was like an iceberg melting and everything returning to spring, and Han Xin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Laughing at something." Han Xin touched his head a little inexplicably.

Gently pulling his hair in a bun, Shangguan Zhishui smiled lightly: "General, you are too worried, I just think your appearance just now is a little funny." ”

It's funny in my heart, it turns out that this famous and world-famous general of the Qin State is a big boy in his heart, which is also an interesting discovery,

Han Xin laughed a few times with a "hehe", thinking that women are really boring,

Then he said tentatively; "Then may I ask Miss, did you say yes or what?"

Shangguan Zhishui pondered for a moment and narrated; "Although our Tao family has suffered heavy losses, there is still a lot of grain in various places, and it is impossible for Liu Bang to find all of them. I think if I think of a way, I should be able to gather 60,000 or 70,000 stone of food. ”

"But there is a precondition, that is, we must be able to pass freely through the Qi country, and even if the Buddha has food, it cannot be transported."

Han Xin lowered his head and calculated, sixty or seventy thousand stones were enough for the army to eat for more than ten days, but it could also solve the urgent need.

With a mind in his mind, he nodded; "Then let's do it, I'll immediately contact the people of the Mo family, let them start the matter immediately, and bother Miss Shangguan, you can also go on a trip, so that your people there can also join them."

"I'll go now, the general can rest assured."
