Chapter 420: There is a shortcut
Chapter 420 has a shortcut
After Liu Bang left from Xiao, he went directly to the barracks to find Xiang Yu.
At this time, Xiang Yu began to rest after taking a bath because he had just had a battle with crocodiles.
Father Fan Zeng walked in from outside at this time.
"Yu'er, there is news from the imperial court."
Xiang Yu immediately stood up, walked quickly in front of Fan Zeng, and asked, "What's the news from the imperial court?"
"The imperial court ordered the crown prince to build a shipyard in Panyu County, South Vietnam, this news has just been known to me, and now Xiao He has also known it." Fan Zeng said.
In fact, Fan Zeng has been paying attention to the news of the imperial court, as long as there is news from the imperial court, he will use various excuses to let the person who delivers the news take a break, and then steal the news.
He's done it so carefully so far, and no one knows about it.
Xiang Yu frowned slightly and said, "Father, you took the lead in stealing the official documents of the imperial court again? If Xiao He finds out, I'm afraid you will be punished for this, and no matter how much I plead at that time, I'm afraid it will be useless."
"Yu'er, don't worry, no one knows about this matter, even if the prince and they know, I have an excuse to say that I don't know, anyway, the news of the imperial court, no one said that it must be handed over to the prince." Fan Zeng said.
"Hey, it's better to be careful." Xiang Yu sighed.
Fan Zeng's heart warmed when he heard that Xiang Yu cared about him, and he said very happily: "Yu'er is not the time to care about this matter, but to think about the significance of the imperial court's construction of the port."
"Brother Xiang, good news, Brother Xiang, good news." A voice interrupted their conversation.
"Why is he here?" Fan Zeng frowned slightly.
Xiang Yu smiled: "I want to go back to Xianyang City to have a look, so I asked him to help me ask." Looks like there's good news."
"Do you want to go back to Xianyang City?" Fan Zeng was slightly stunned, looked at Xiang Yu and said: Why don't I know about this matter? Why didn't Yu'er tell me?
Xiang Yu didn't look at Fan Zeng, but looked outside the house, and when he saw Liu Bang coming in, he greeted him.
The person who came in was Liu Bang, and after he saw Xiang Yu, he said very excitedly, "Brother Xiang, good news, the matter of returning to Xianyang has been arranged."
Xiang Yu immediately smiled, "Great. I don't know how Lord Xiao He arranged it?"
"Originally, I was going to let you go by boat, but the port here has not yet been built, and there are no ships, so let you lead some people back first, but you can't go back empty-handed." Liu Bang deliberately sold Guan Zi and said.
Xiang Yu smiled and said, "Brother Liu, don't sell Guanzi, just say it, what do I need to bring back?"
Liu Bang smiled and said, "Of course, it is the most needed thing in Xianyang City, sugar cane and some special products, at the beginning, His Majesty wanted a crocodile, but the prince refused, I think you can take the crocodile back for a day."
"Liu Bang, don't talk nonsense." Fan Zeng said angrily at this time.
"Mr. Fan is here too." Liu Bang said, "However, you can't talk nonsense about me, whether Your Majesty wants crocodiles."
"That was not long ago, didn't the crown prince already refuse, didn't the first emperor stop mentioning this matter." Fan Zeng said, "You suddenly mention this matter now, and people who don't know think that you are asking Yu'er to talk to the First Emperor.
But that's not the case, you want Yu'er to offend the prince and make him unable to gain a foothold here."
"Father, what you said is too serious, and Brother Liu is also very kind, and he didn't say that he must take the crocodile to Xianyang City." Xiang Yu immediately spoke for Liu Bang.
Liu Bang smiled: "It's still Brother Xiang who knows me. I'm just talking about crocodiles, but sugar cane and other specialties need to be transported back to Xianyang City quickly."
"To put it nicely, it will take at least two months to travel from here to Xianyang City, and in two months, I am afraid that sugar cane or other fruits will no longer be edible." Fan Zeng said.
Xiang Yu frowned slightly, and said, "That's true, if it's me, I can reach Xianyang City within half a month."
But if you ship a lot of things, I'm afraid it won't work."
Liu Bang said: "This is not simple, Brother Xiang, you go to the land of Wu Yue first, when Wu Wangfu dug a big river, this big river leads directly to Linzi.
As long as the speed is fast enough, it will be there in ten days, and Linzi to Xianyang will be close."
"Good idea. Why haven't I noticed the river?" Xiang Yu said.
"Because Brother Xiang is a general, people who want to do great things don't need to care about these things at all." Liu Bang said with a smile.
Fan Zeng on the side said, "Then how do you know?"
Liu Bang smiled, "Of course I heard it from Xiao He."
"Impossible, such an important route, how could Xiao He reveal it, Liu Bang, you don't have to deceive us, you just tell the truth." Fan Zeng sneered.
It was a marching route, and it was difficult for the average person to know, except, of course, the locals.
But Liu Bang is not, he is just a county order in Pei County, not even a county order before, a kid from a poor rural area, can know the terrain of Baiyue Land, and no one believes it.
Liu Bang looked at Fan Zeng and smiled awkwardly, "I said, Mr. Fan, can you not look at me like this?"
Fan Zeng sneered, "I'm just looking at you like this, what are you feeling weak?"
"Weak heart? How can I have a weak heart?" Liu Bang said, and deliberately walked away, not wanting to confront Fan Zeng.
Xiang Yu said, "Father, no matter how Liu Bang got the news, I should admit his feelings.
Brother Liu, thank you, when I come back from Xianyang, I will definitely bring you what you want."
"Yu'er, what does he want?" Fan Zeng asked.
Liu Bang immediately said, "Mr. Fan, this is my personal matter, you'd better not ask."
Fan Zeng's face immediately showed a suspicious look, and said, "Yu'er, you say."
Xiang Yu said, "Father, this is Brother Liu's private matter, so don't inquire.
In addition, this time I will go to Xianyang City, and my father will not follow, I will come back as soon as possible, and at the same time take my uncle and them over."
"No, take the general over, I'm afraid the court will be suspicious of you." Fan Zeng reminded.
Liu Bang said, "Mr. Fan, this is your mistake, Brother Xiang just wants his uncle and nephew to get together, why do you want to stop him."
Oh, I'm right, Brother Xiang also has a daughter-in-law who has just married, in fact, he can also be called.
In this way, Brother Xiang's family will be reunited, and they will be happy, wouldn't it be beautiful."
"Bastard, are you telling Yu'er to be suspicious of the court?" Fan Zeng said angrily, "You get out, get out of me now, or I'll kill you now."
Fan Zeng said that he would turn his face when he turned his face, and directly took the crutch next to him and greeted Liu Bang.
