Chapter 184: An Unexpected Visitor
?
After killing Zhao Gao, Gongziying immediately ordered the transfer of 50,000 troops to the pass to assist in guarding the pass to prevent the Chu army from entering Xianyang.
At this time, Liu Bang's army had arrived at the pass of the pass and confronted the Qin army guarding the pass.
Since Xiang Yu's army slaughtered 200,000 Qin troops in Xin'an, it has encountered almost no resistance along the way, and has been 'pressing' straight towards Hangu Pass.
Xiang Ye has been thinking about what happened that night in Xin'an these days, although he did not see the massacre with his own eyes, but from the mouth of the Chu army who carried out the massacre mission, he also learned about the tragic situation of the slaughtered Qin army when he was dying.
The Chu army stopped again, and the Qin army, which was sporadically resisting on the road, didn't need Xiang Ye to 'bother' at all. As long as a few fierce generals around Xiang Yu stepped on the war horses, those Qin troops would flee in the wilderness, and along the way, they were able to move smoothly.
"General, someone is asking to see you!" As soon as Xiang Ye set up camp, Erhu ran to him and said to him with a fist.
"I don't want to see anyone!" Xiang Ye frowned, waved his hand at Erhu and said, "Let them go first, if there is really something, it's not too late to come back in a few days!" ”
"Someone said that he still had to do something very important, and if the general was gone, I am afraid that he would not have the opportunity to see him for a long time. And he also said that as long as he told the general that the old man on the bank of the Yellow River asked to see him, the general should not be gone! Erhu didn't leave, but bowed down and continued to say to Xiang Ye.
"The old man on the bank of the Yellow River?" Xiang Ye was stunned for a moment, and then said to Erhu: "Hurry up, please!" ”
When he was on the bank of the Yellow River, he was attacked by Guan Feng and was seriously injured, if it wasn't for the old man to save him, he would have become a lonely ghost, and now when he heard that he was an old man on the bank of the Yellow River, how could Xiang Ye not be 'excited'. He hurriedly straightened his clothes and armor, and led a team of personal soldiers to greet him outside the 'gate'.
Seeing the old man standing outside the 'gate', Xiang Ye was stunned at first, the person in front of him was wearing a silk deep coat, if it weren't for his face he remembered, he would definitely not believe that this was the old man who helped him and 'Meng' Su on the bank of the Yellow River back then.
"Uncle, don't come here if you don't see you for a day!" Although he was suspicious in his heart, Xiang Ye still gave the old man a deep salute and said: "The great favor of the day has not been repaid, and the last general has been haunted by it. ”
The old man stroked his beard and smiled, clasped his fists and arched his hand to Xiang Ye and said: "The general has seen the outside, Wei Yan came here today to apologize to the general, Mo Feng and I deceived the general that day, and I hope that the general Haihan!" ”
It wasn't until Wei Yu said Mo Feng's name that Xiang Ye noticed that there was a young man of his age standing behind him.
The young man was dark-skinned, and although he was dressed in splendid robes, it did not hide his toned figure.
"Mr. Mo Feng is polite!" Xiang Ye bowed to Mo Feng, and then said to the two: "Since you came to my camp today, I asked the Huotou Army to prepare some 'meat' for the two of you, the food in the army is vulgar, and I hope you don't dislike it!" ”
"Well said, well said!" Wei Ye nodded at Xiang Ye and walked side by side towards the camp with Xiang Ye.
After the servants entered the camp, 'Meng' Su heard that the old man who had helped her and Xiang Ye on the bank of the Yellow River had come, although it was inconvenient to come to meet her, he also asked the Huotou army to prepare more wine and food, and ordered that he must entertain the distinguished guests well.
In order to entertain Wei Wei and Mo Feng, Xiang Ye made a special trip to invite Wu Wei and Wei Feng and others. After the group of people sat down, the soldiers brought in the wine and food prepared by the Huotou Army.
"Mr. Wei, I am grateful to be rescued on the same day, and I am overwhelmed with 'excitement', and I will give Mr. a cup here!" The soldiers scooped out the wine from the wooden barrel and filled the cup in front of Xiang Ye, Xiang Ye raised the wine glass and said to Wei Yan: "Sir, you must drink this cup to the full!" ”
Wei Yan smiled slightly, picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
After drinking, he wiped his mouth and said with a smile to Xiang Ye: "The general did not forget the events of that day, which really surprised the old man. Today, the old man came not to catch up with the general, but to ask the general for something. ”
After saying that, he looked at the people sitting in the tent, and from his eyes, Xiang Ye could see that he wanted everyone to avoid it.
"Don't worry, sir, all of you here today are my brothers, if there is anything, sir, just say it!" Xiang Ye smiled at Wei and said to him: "As long as I, Xiang Ye, can do it, I will definitely do my best for Mr." ”
Wei Yu first groaned for a moment, and then said to Xiang Ye as if he had made a lot of determination: "I wonder if the general has heard of Zhao Tuo?" ”
"Zhao Tuo?" Xiang Ye was stunned for a moment, glanced at Wu Wei, and then shook his head at Wei Yu and said, "Forgive the end of the ignorance, may I ask sir, who is this Zhao Tuo?" ”
Xiang Ye didn't know Zhao Tuo, although there are not many records in the historical materials about this king of Nanyue, Xiang Ye still knows something. The reason why he didn't say he knew was because his identity was in the current environment, and he really shouldn't know too much.
"Zhao Tuo was the general of the southern expedition back then, and now our army is advancing westward, I heard that he ordered the road to the north to be blocked, and the army was forbidden to go north to aid Qin, I don't know if what Mr. Wei said is this Zhao Tuo?" Xiang Ye said that he didn't know, but Wu Wei twisted his chin and nodded slightly in reply.
"Exactly!" Wei Yu bowed, nodded to Wu Wei, and then said to Xiang Ye: "Since General Zhao Tuo entered South Vietnam, he has worked hard to govern the land that is not 'hairy' in an orderly manner, and the South Vietnamese people don't want to fight now, they just want to live in peace, this time I came with Mo Feng to ask General Xiang for a favor!" ”
"I don't know what the relationship between Mr. and General Zhao Tuo is?" Xiang Ye frowned, he vaguely felt that what Wei Yu came to ask him for this time was not so simple to do.
"Below is General Zhao Tuo's staff, and Mo Feng is the chief of the guard in front of the general's account." After introducing Xiang Ye's identities to him and Mo Feng, Wei Yan said: "On the bank of the Yellow River that day, Mo Feng and I were also talented people to see the general, and the future is limitless before we came to the rescue. The general said that we already knew in advance that it was Miss 'Meng' who went east with the general that day, and the reason why she saved the general was precisely for today's strategy. If the general has a bad heart, Mo Feng and I will leave! ”
After listening to Wei Yan's words, Xiang Ye was stunned, and after a while, he shook his head and sighed and said, "I have always been worried that I can't repay the kindness given by Mr. that day, but I didn't expect to inadvertently jump into the pit dug by Mr. in advance. That's it, that's it, I, Xiang Ye, am not a person who doesn't repay my kindness, since Mr. did help me that day, as long as the matter is not very tricky this time, I will definitely do my best for Mr! ”
"This matter is just a trivial matter for the general!" Hearing Xiang Ye say this, Wei Yan's face 'revealed' a knowing smile, he bowed slightly and said to Xiang Ye: "General Gao Yi, I will not forget it with General Zhao, as long as this matter is promoted, if the general is sent in the future, Nanyue will definitely give all his strength to the general's drive!" ”
"Please tell me what happened to me this time!" The two sides had already made it clear, and Xiang Ye felt that there was no need to continue to be polite, so he said to Wei Yan: "What does Mr. want me to do for you, just say it!" ”
"I would like to ask the general to introduce the general of your army for us!" As soon as Wei Xuan's words came out, everyone sitting in the tent was stunned.
This matter is indeed not a difficult thing for Xiang Ye, but Xiang Ye can't do it easily. He still didn't know why Wei Yu and Mo Feng wanted to see Xiang Yu, if they were introduced, they would assassinate Xiang Yu, no matter whether they would succeed or not, Xiang Ye would not have a good life in the future.
Xiang Ye pressed one hand on his forehead and was silent for a long time without speaking.
"General, don't worry!" Seeing that Xiang Ye didn't speak, Wei Yan then said to him: "I didn't want to disadvantage the general of your army, I just wanted to talk to him about something, if he agreed, Nanyue will do his best to assist Da Chu to 'advance' towards Guanzhong!" ”
Xiang Ye shook his head and said to Wei Yan: "It's too late, if Mr. comes to the general before the Battle of Julu to put forward this condition, I'm afraid things will be much easier." Now that the Great Chu army has broken through Xianyang, is it still a matter of time before you bring this up again? ”
Wei Yu nodded and said, "What the general said is reasonable, but General Zhao also prepared a big gift for the Great Chu General!" Presumably, he would be interested in such a big gift. ”
"What gift?" As soon as Xiang Ye heard that there was a big gift, he was immediately interested, and hurriedly asked Wei Yan.
"Three or seven five hundred carts, as well as many other 'medicine' materials that are special to South Vietnam. These 'medicine' materials are extremely effective in stopping bleeding and healing wounds, and presumably General Chu will not be uninterested! Wei He smiled slightly and said to Xiang Ye: "The general was seriously injured that day, and it was Sanqi Fan who saved the general!" ”
"Something so good?" Xiang Ye held his chin in his hand, rolled his eyes a few times, and said to Wei Qi: "It's not impossible to introduce you to the general, but I have a condition, in the future, you need to sell me a hundred carts of notoginseng powder every year, well, I only need notoginseng powder, not notoginseng." ”
Wei Yan and Mo Feng glanced at each other, groaned for a moment, raised his head and said to Xiang Ye: "The general's appetite is not small, a car of notoginseng powder needs to be made from five cars of notoginseng, and Nanyue can only produce more than two hundred cars a year, you want half of our output every year!" ”
Xiang Ye shrugged his shoulders and said to Wei Yan: "No way, who wants you to just calculate that you need to ask for my help today, my condition is not excessive, as long as you agree, I will buy it from you at seventy percent of the market price every year, this must be supplied, what do you think?" ”
"Where is the general buying, it's just a robbery!" Wei Qi sighed bitterly and said: "The profit of Sanqi powder is not high, seventy percent of the market price, that is, every time we sell you a car, we will have to discount the capital by twenty percent." That's it, that's it, I'll make a decision for General Zhao, we did this business! ”~
