Although the King of Qin was pleased to be able to profit from the grassland, what really pleased him was to expand the territory and become a pioneer himself, who could go down in history. I really didn't misunderstand Xiang Shaolong, and named Xiang Shaolong as "Champion Hou".

Xiang Shaolong didn't feel much about Feng Hou, but when he learned that he was called "Champion Hou", he was overjoyed, this was Huo Quai's title. In the later competitions, the first one is called the "champion", it is not the Huns who have a fate with the runner-up, whoever wins him, who is the first, the Huns are the legendary second in ten thousand years. In the future, the Central Plains will be unified, and the Xiongnu will be vassals, and it can be suggested that they should be called "Yajun Hou".

Xiang Shaolong and Wang Jian took turns to attack, and the development of the border pass changed with each passing day.

Just when the border pass was developing step by step, King Qin suddenly summoned Xiang Shaolong back to Xianyang.

In this year (247 B.C.), Wang Di conquered the cities of Shangdang and set it up as Taiyuan County. Lü Buwei took advantage of Wei and Zhao's rivalry again, and sent Meng Yu to attack Zhao, and even took down thirty-seven cities. This prompted the eastern states to unite again, and Wei Wuji, the king of Xinling, led the alliance of Yan, Zhao, Han, Chu, and Wei to attack Qin.

Lü Buwei was anxious for quick success and wanted to continue the attack, but the military suggested holding on, and the two sides could not fight.

At this time, Xiang Shaolong's official worship of the general, swept Mobei in the past three years, and was famous, at this dilemma, King Qin remembered Xiang Shaolong.

Xiang Shaolong asked Wang Jian to control all affairs at the border and return to Xianyang day and night.

When he arrived in Xianyang, he went directly to the palace to meet the King of Qin.

On the top of the main hall, the civil and military ministers were on both sides, and they were arguing. When King Qin heard Xiang Shaolong's visit, he was overjoyed and hurriedly summoned him.

Looking at Xiang Shaolong, who was in the dust, King Qin was both happy and unbearable, and said, "Shaolong has worked hard all the way. ”

Xiang Shaolong knelt down and bowed: "Knock to see the king." ”

King Qin said: "Flat." Shaolong already knows the matter, does Shaolong support the attack or stick to it? ”

Xiang Shaolong didn't ask for the opinions of others, and said directly: "I'm the main guard." ”

Lu Buwei said loudly: "Taiyuan County, Sanchuan County, and Shangdang County are related to the rise and fall of my Great Qin hegemony. ”

General Du Bi said: "The five-nation alliance army is vigorous, if you abandon the danger of Hangu Pass and go to war in vain, once defeated, I am afraid that Hangu Pass will not be guaranteed." At that time, the coalition army was advancing for a long time, and the Great Qin Foundation was afraid that it would be destroyed in a flash, so it was really better to defend than to attack at this moment. ”

The important military minister Lu Gongdao: "Xinling Jun is a resourceful person, who once broke our army outside the HD city, and the past can be learned. ”

General Xu Xian said: "Our army has been newly defeated, and its spirit has been frustrated. ”

King Qin asked, "What about Shaolong's reason?" ”

Xiang Shaolong said: "Hangu Guanxi is based on the plateau, east of the river, south of the Qinling Mountains, north of the Yellow River, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it can be said that a husband is a pass of ten thousand people, with the ability of the Mongolian general to hold is not difficult." My Great Qin's national strength is growing day by day, but it can't do a war to determine the world, and the six eastern countries are constantly filthy, and this time it is also Wei and Zhao's bad relations that give us an opportunity. Now it has gone down to thirty-seven cities, taking advantage of it, and it is enough to stop. If we continue, we will have to face the combined forces of all countries, but it will hurt both sides, hurt the vitality of our Great Qin, and it will not be conducive to the unification of the six countries of our Great Qin. For the sake of today's plan, we still develop ourselves with peace of mind, let the six countries kill each other, and when the time is ripe, it will not be too late for our Great Qin to advance eastward. ”

Xiang Shaolong had spoken to King Qin three years earlier and had put forward a plan for "economic aggression".

But this time, King Qin was still moved by Lü Buwei's words, so he was defeated today.

King Qin said: "Outside the Chen Bing Pass of the coalition army, how to withdraw the troops?" ”

Xiang Shaolong said: "The soul of Hezong is Xinlingjun, and once Xinlingjun goes, the siege of the coalition army will be relieved." ”

King Qin asked, "How can I go to Lingjun?" ”

Xiang Shaolong said: "Xinlingjun has outstanding prestige and is jealous of the King of Wei, does the King of Wei really want Xinlingjun to return victorious?" He is not afraid that the day of Xinlingjun's triumph will be the time when he will be beheaded? Since the military situation is urgent, the minister is willing to send an envoy to Wei to withdraw the army for the king. ”

King Qin exclaimed: "No, now that the two countries are at war, how can Shaolong be in danger?" ”

Xiang Shaolong said: "This is the fastest way to force Xinling Jun to retreat. ”

King Qin said: "Shaolong, you are my Great Qin General, it is too dangerous for you to send an envoy to the Wei State, is there no other way?" ”

Xiang Shaolong said: "King, you have been discussing for several days, if there is another way, you don't have to wait for me to come back." Thanks to the king's attention, when this time of danger, he consulted his subordinates, and did not dare not serve the king with death. These words were beautiful, which made King Qin's heart feel hot.

Lu Buwei said: "King, what Shaolong said is reasonable. We have been discussing for many days without results, and the strategy of Shaolong is indeed the most effective way. ”

For Xiang Shaolong, Lu Buwei held a grudge in his heart. Originally, the Wu family came to Xianyang to take refuge in themselves, and the financial resources of the Wu family would be an important help for themselves. However, Xiang Shaolong crossed himself and directly hooked up with the prince, and was appreciated by the king, and got out of his control, so that he could not get help from the Wu family. In the past three years, the Wu family has not done anything for themselves. And Xiang Shaolong won the trust of the king, that is, his enemy, he proposed such a dangerous way, he pushed the boat down the river, borrowed the hand of Wei, and killed him the best, so he strongly supported Xiang Shaolong to envoy Wei.

Xiang Shaolong has been deliberately befriending the military over the years and drawing a clear line with Lü Buwei, so he has won the favor of the military, especially Xu Xian, Wang Di, and Gong Qi, so the military is all against Xiang Shaolong's envoy to Wei.

As for civil officials such as Cai Ze and Wang Juan, or the royal family, there is no opposition or approval. Sending an envoy to Wei is indeed the best way to do it at present, if you oppose Xiang Shaolong going, do you want to go for him? But it is not like Lu Buwei who wants to put Xiang Shaolong in danger.

King Qin didn't want Xiang Shaolong to be in danger, so he just shook his head.

Xiang Shaolong said: "King, if we take out some more benefits, this trip may not be certain death." ”

King Qin asked, "What kind of benefits are we going to come up with?" ”

Xiang Shaolong said: "This matter has to continue to be considered, and it cannot be decided in a hurry." ”

King Qin glanced at everyone and asked, "Do you have any other ways?" ”

The crowd was silent.

King Qin sighed secretly in his heart: "The Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, only this young dragon is not afraid of hardships and dangers, and is loyal to the country." ”

King Qin said: "Then please leave it to Shaolong." Shaolong stays, and the others retreat. ”

After everyone retreated, only King Qin and Xiang Shaolong remained.

King Qin said: "Shaolong has expanded his land for thousands of miles in northern Xinjiang, and his martial arts are world-famous. Now even the task of envoying Wei has to rely on Shaolong, and the widow is ashamed of Shaolong! ”

Xiang Shaolong said: "King, Xiang Shaolong has the trust of the king, and there is nothing to repay, not to mention that the matter of the envoy was proposed by me, how can I let others get into danger?" ”

King Qin said: "The Manchu Dynasty has been arguing for many days, and it may be Shaolong who can solve the worries of the widows!" Shaolong, do you have a plan in mind? Will the king of Wei (An Luo) be tricked? ”

Xiang Shaolong said: "King, this is not a plan, but it is really possible, we are just stabbing it." If we don't say it, won't King Wei think so? ”

King Qin said: "How does Shaolong plan to convince King Wei?" ”

Xiang Shaolong said: "I haven't thought about it yet, I can only improvise when the time comes, this time I will definitely sacrifice some economic interests, please give me the right to arbitrary." ”

King Qin said: "Since Shaolong entered my Great Qin, he has been loyal and dedicated to the country, if Shaolong is not credible, how can there be a credible person." Okay, Shaolong will decide everything on his own when he goes to Wei, and he can report it when he comes back. ”

Xiang Shaolong said: "King Xie, I will live up to the king's trust." ”

King Qin said: "Go and see the prince, you have not been in Xianyang in the past few years, and the prince often complains that the widow sent you to the northern frontier." ”

Xiang Shaolong said: "Yes." I have been in correspondence with the Prince, and I am also very concerned about it. ”

King Qin smiled: "I'm afraid that it's not just the crown prince, but also the prince who has been communicating with the prince." ”

Xiang Shaolong smiled awkwardly.

King Qin continued: "Taifu Qin is the first talented woman in my Great Qin, and she is not worthy of ordinary people. Shaolong's character and talent are in my Daqin, and even looking at the world, they are all top-notch, but the widow is willing to match, it depends on Shaolong's ability. ”

Xiang Shaolong was overjoyed and bowed: "King Xie." ”

King Qin said: "Go ahead, Taifu Qin should be giving a lesson to the prince now." ”

Xiang Shaolong retired.

I haven't seen her for three years, but the goddess of the piano is still beautiful, and it seems that the bookish atmosphere is stronger; And Prince Zheng is even taller, with an angular face, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a high nose bridge, and thick lips, no longer like the simplicity of a peasant boy, and already has a momentum that shocks the world.

Seeing Xiang Shaolong coming, the two of them looked surprised, stopped lecturing, and greeted them together.

Xiang Shaolong greeted first, hugged his fists, and said, "I've seen the prince." Mrs. Qin is polite. ”

Prince Zheng said happily: "No need to be polite. Mrs. Xiang, you are back, you have not fulfilled the duties of Mrs. Xiang over the years, so you don't have to go back this time. ”

Qin Qing also said: "Mrs. Xiang is polite! In the past three years, Xiang Taifu has been shocked in Mobei, and he has become a general, which is gratifying. ”

Xiang Shaolong said: "I am about to send an envoy to Wei to relieve the siege of the front line. ”

Prince Zheng exclaimed: "The two countries are at war, isn't it too dangerous to send an envoy to the Wei State?" Who came up with the idea to let Mrs. Xiang go to the enemy country? ”

Xiang Shaolong said: "I proposed it myself, everyone has discussed it for several days without any result, the front line is urgent, and we can't wait any longer." The king has given me the right to arbitrary, and I should be able to get out of it with my whole body. ”

Prince Zheng said: "How can Mrs. Xiang put himself in danger. Lü Buwei originally advocated sending troops, but now that the army is defeated, he wants Xiang Taifu to solve the problem, why didn't he send his own envoy? ”

Xiang Shaolong said: "Sending troops and envoys are both national affairs, how can they be so clearly distinguished?" What's more, we have also gained from this dispatch. ”

Qin Qing admired Xiang Shaolong's single-minded attitude, but he was also worried: "When will Mrs. Xiang leave?" Is there anything that Qinqing can help? ”

Xiang Shaolong said: "When I return to Xianyang, I will go directly to the palace to see the king, time is pressing, and I will go back and prepare for the envoy." If Mrs. Lao Qin is concerned, Mrs. Qin will teach the prince with peace of mind. Shaolong came here to visit the prince and the prince of Qin, he hadn't seen him for three years, and he missed it in his heart, and the second was to resign. ”
