Chapter 3: The Hidden Sun

Just when Huang Xie and the others were in contact with the officials of Zhaoling, the merchants who had business dealings with Yinyang also entered Yinyang and met with the city lord and elders.

Unlike Guanyi, which only has more than 100 households, Yinyang is a large city with nearly 10,000 households. Yinyang City is not just a dirt wall, there is a city in the city and a community outside the city; The city mansion is all available. The city is built at the confluence of the Li River into the hidden water, and the river is densely covered with boats and crossings, and the city gate reflects each other.

The city is not large, the side length is less than a mile, there is no moat, and there are only about 100 households who have lived in the city for a long time. The people who can live in the city are all local people with heads and faces. Merchants were allowed to enter the city's bazaars to set up shop, but lived outside the city. The only fly in the ointment is that there is no army, and there are only a dozen strong people responsible for maintaining social order in peacetime; If there was a war, the people of the surrounding towns voluntarily went into the city to help defend it.

By the time the merchants of Chen Guo visited, the bazaar had been closed and the merchants had already left their shops and returned to their homes. Therefore, the merchants of Chen Guo first visited the business leaders who lived outside the city, and then entered the city under the recommendation of the business leaders. These merchants often traveled to and from the Hidden Sun, and many of them were very familiar to the upper echelons of the Hidden Yang people. The merchants of the Chen Kingdom told them that the prince of Chu was going to come to do a big business, and you could receive them according to the highest standard, without thinking about money; Anyone who has good goods can be on it, as long as the son sees it, he will definitely buy it at the best price, and he can also establish a long-term cooperative relationship in the future. The people of Yinyang naturally welcomed them, notified the relevant personnel, and entertained the merchants of Chen Guo who came to fight the front station. These businessmen usually don't have a big business and don't come forward much, but today they actually came to play the front station for others, and the cards in the positive corner can be imagined. All merchants are ready to meet at least once this Chu Gongzi.

The next day, fifty cars drove out of Zhaoling, and the fleet also went up the hidden water, and it took about half a day to reach Yinyang. Fifty times, five hundred people, such a scale of caravan is really amazing. The characters in the city were led by the lord of the city, and there were more than 100 people from various merchants, welcoming them out five miles away.

The leading figures welcomed Huang Xie and the others into the most luxurious local reverse journey, and the merchants went to find a place to negotiate business after the ceremony. Huang Xie said to the city lord and elders: "The value of the city is unfortunate, and it is still adjacent to the villages. If there is any disturbance, I am willing to make amends first! His subordinates brought a few rattan canes, and Huang Xie presented them to the elders one by one, saying, "May I live with the elders!" He also took out a crown and a belt, and offered it to the city lord: "I wish to be new with the city lord!" ”

These canes are unique in shape, light and durable, and the elders are full of appreciation; The city lord took the crown belt and thanked him: "We savages, how dare we be the gift of the son!" ”

Huang Xie replied one by one: "We are newly moved, and I hope that His Holiness will not be abandoned." ”

These people quickly responded: "We are very fortunate to have met a nobleman. ”

Huang Xie ordered people to bring out the wine, and each person served a bowl, and the wine was sweet and fragrant.

While everyone was drinking, suddenly a retainer came in and whispered a few words in Huang Xie's ear. Huang Xie said embarrassedly: "Old friends come to visit, don't dare not welcome it." May I say goodbye! "Resign yourself and let the retainers drink with the city lord and elders.

Out of the reverse journey, I saw a soldier in front of the door, his face was haggard, and when he saw Huang Xie coming out, he saluted: "Huang Gong'an is good!" ”

Huang Xie fixed his eyes and saw that the visitor turned out to be Mangmao. Mang Mao has been Wei Qing for more than 20 years and has been to other countries many times. He and Huang Xie have met many times during the banquet. Huang Xie bowed and said: "Why is the public here? ”

Mang Mao said: "The minister was upside down, and his life was so far, referring to the Yin clan." Hearing Huang Gongzhi, he sneaked to meet him. ”

Huang Xie said: "So, please enter the room." He took Mangmao into his lower place and said to everyone: "This hidden father, my old friend." I haven't seen you for many years, and I don't want to move here. Everyone also knelt down to greet each other, and after a few polite words, they resigned knowingly.

Huang Xie instructed his retainers: "The hidden prince is my old friend, and he has been rare for many years. ”

Let the retainer bring out a new pot of wine, and the two of them will sit together. Drinking the three jue sweet liquor, Huang Xie said: "This place is not far from Chen, why don't you visit Chu, the king will be credited!" ”

Mang Mao sighed and said: "The minister is ominous, the teacher is humiliated, how dare you set up the court again and revisit the temple!" ”

Huang Xie said: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and it is impossible to lose and not come back." ”

Mang Mao drank the wine as soon as he drank it, and Huang Xie hurriedly added it. Mang Mao said: "Although it is undefeated, it is still impossible, let alone defeated!" ”

Huang Xie saw Mang Mao talking about the sore spot, and hurriedly toasted. Mang Mao didn't seem to be good at drinking, and his face was red. Huang Xie hesitated again and again, but couldn't help but ask: "200,000 troops, why was it suddenly defeated!" ”

Mang Mao said: "Drive the flock and fight the tiger, although the many are of any benefit!" If there is no military force, it will collapse after a few looks. ”

Huang Xie said: "Why did the King of Wei fight against Qin without brave men? ”

Mang Mao said: "Qin entered Kaifeng, and the king was deeply ashamed. Xinling Jun led the army to Tun Huayang and refused, unyielding for three months, the old ministers of Wei Zhong are all Yun Qin fearless, the former 50,000 soldiers can break 500,000 Qin army, and the situation is now! At the same time, Liang Dong was in the disaster, and the people were only half. Wang Naifa sent 150,000 hungry people and other people in Liangdong, and 15,000 soldiers as the front. The north is said to be Zhao, and the south is said to be Han, and the three kingdoms are about to advance at the same time to defeat Qin. ”

Huang Xie said: "Although the Three Jin Dynasty are allies, why are they willing to join forces if they are not beneficial? ”

Mang Mao said: "Fang is worth Qin into Kaifeng, Zhao Bawu's house, Anyang." Wang Nai used his land as a bribe and asked Zhao to send troops. ”

Huang Xie said: "The king of Wei took the two cities as a bribe...... Please send troops to ......"

Mang Mao said: "Jia Yan will have 30,000 Zhao soldiers, thinking that he is a striker. The minister pushed the army of 150,000 as the backbone, and about the king of Han raised 30,000 troops as backup. In the three Jin Dynasty, between Han and Qin Jin, there was uncertainty. Later, the violent kite came to South Korea, and it was forced. However, the Zhao and Wei soldiers gathered in Xingyang, and the grain and grass were ready, but the Han soldiers did not arrive. Then he attacked South Korea. However, Jia Yanyan said that Zhao Dan attacked Qin, and Han, brothers, and they were not righteous. Then the Wei army surrounded Huayang on all sides. -- Harvest its valley also. With the will of the ministers, when the army is exhausted, it is necessary to return to the army. Han envoys repeatedly sent envoys to urge Qin to help, but Qin Dan took more than 10,000 people from Huyang as helpers! Unexpectedly, the siege of Huayang has not been ten days, and the Qin people are out of the road; The minister lifted the siege and returned to the army to welcome him, and Wu Anjun came out of me. First conquer Huayang, and then slaughter the Han army, the name of 'human slaughter' is true. That night, the minister saw that things were not harmonious, so he sneaked out of the military camp and died in the hidden sun. ”

Huang Xie said: "Wen Gong's family disappeared overnight. It must not be as the public says, and it will be intentional when it comes to things. It will be planned for a long time. ”

Mang Mao's face turned red, as if his mind was seen through, and said, "As Huang Gong said." Since his accession to the throne, Wei Wangyu has lived in the palace, and the affairs of the court have been paid to his subordinates. The minister and Wei Xiang should not resign, but there are people who believe in the monarch of Ling, and they are quite involved in politics. Last year, the minister led the troops out of Hexi and was trapped by Qin. The ministers have many strategies, but they have nothing to do. The king of Wei did not take credit for it, and instead ordered Xinling Jun to seize our army. The Qin army was about to open the seal, the Liang was trapped, and the ministers planned to defend the city, but Qin did not dare to commit it. After the king was able to do business, his ministers and planners tried to ensure that the beam was not lost. Huang Gongqi thought about it, Kaifeng and Daliang, but thirty or fifty miles, the Qin army is coming. The four doors of the girder are wide open, showing comfort on the outside, and holding on to the inside. Among them, the sweets and bitters cannot be known unless they have experienced it. Xinling Jun led the soldiers to Huayang, with his back to South Korea, and supported the beams, thinking that he was a horn, what is the difficulty! And the credit is mine! At that time, I knew that the favor of the King of Wei had passed away, and the Wei State was not a place to live for a long time. but with his wife, he lived in Chen. As for the dispatch of troops, all the sons of the ministers followed. Only the ears of the ministers and concubines are left in the family! ”

Looking at Mang Mao's smug expression, Huang Xie shook his head secretly. The so-called ambitious and talented, pretentious, probably this kind of person is the kind of person he is talking about! But he still hid these mean thoughts in his heart, put on a concerned look, and said: "The public is subject to Wei En, and the first king believes in the prince, thinking that he is a wise man." Now that the new king is on the throne, Gongning suffers this humiliation, and there is no dispute? ”

Mang Mao said: "The minister has repeatedly entrusted him with recklessness, and he wants to count him as the king of Xinling, but his popularity and luck have been long, and he can't harm him." ”

Huang Xie said: "I heard that Gongzi Wei was assassinated, and he was saved by the Zheng family, and he did what Gong Gai did. ”

Mang Mao said: "Tell Huang Gong the truth, if you are not a single minister, even the King of Wei will also be harmed." ”

Huang Xie said: "Xinling Jun is not the brother of King Wei?" Why harm each other? ”

Mang Mao said: "Xinling Jun has few good names, and there are 3,000 guests under his door, all of whom are handsome. Up and the temple, down and reckless, everything that is done, will not be out of the palm of the king. If there is someone on the side of the monarch like this, Junning will not be able to sleep! Therefore, I want to get rid of it for a long time! ”

Huang Xie said: "The King of Wei has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and he has been a minister of the court, how can he shake the king of Xinling?" ”

Mang Mao said: "Therefore, it must be false, false to support, and secretly plotted." ”

Huang Xie said: "The public knows this meaning, and Xinling Jun is ignorant? ”

Mang Mao said: "But it's just a matter of hiding from Lingjun alone!" ”

Huang Xie knew that there was a reason, but it was inconvenient to ask. Changed the subject and said: "What do you want to do today?" ”

Mang Mao said: "It's like a lost dog, and you can't live in fear." Therefore, why not meet Huang Gong, and wish to teach him! ”

Huang Xie said: "Gong, Wei Qing has been known to the world for a long time. The loss of Huayang is also heard all over the world. Now hidden in the hidden sun, unless there is a big reason, it is not suitable to go out lightly. The public can temporarily appoint one person as an intermediary. Rong Chen returned to Chu, and Xu Yimou. If the hidden sun should be needed, the minister should accept it! ”

Mang Mao said: "Xiaoer Shen, only around the ministers, not out of the princes." May Huang Gong have mercy on him, and let him follow him. But if you are driven, you can make Shen'er pass it on briefly, and all the ministers obey the order. ”

Huang Xie thought about it, took off a copper pendant from his waist, handed it to Mangmao, and said, "Shen Gongzi can't do it with Mang's family, and he is willing to set up with Shen's family." If it cannot be with us today, it may be difficult to avoid people's eyes and ears. Dare to ask for sneak out of the country, Deng Jian, and the ministers, but after saying that after the country, he took the copper admiration as a letter. Ministers should know also. ”

Mang Mao was originally a resourceful and treacherous person, and he was overjoyed when he heard this: "Huang Gong's words are very appropriate. The minister conspired about this matter, and ordered Shen'er and the prince to meet between Sui and Deng. If it is not a lesson, the public can abandon it. ”

Huang Xie said: "The public trust will be like a dragon and a phoenix." He looked at the sky and said, "One ding, one ding, don't be suspicious." ”

Mang Mao said: "Don't dare to disturb, I am willing to resign." Huang Xie repeatedly refused to allow it, only saying that there was still a consultation during the banquet, and Mang Mao also half-pushed, so he stayed in the reverse journey and had dinner.
