Chapter 6: Entering the Qin

Huang Xie listened to Mang Shen's narration, and recalled Mang Mao's previous introduction, comparing the two, he didn't find any flaws, it should be the truth. He also thought that after the Huayang War, the Three Jin Dynasty and Qin allied themselves in Yuhe at the same time, and the Zhao State sent troops and lost the battle, probably some. But the defeat was not miserable, there was no injury to the bones, only 30,000 people. In the past, Zhao was invaded by Wei into the capital Handan, and it didn't matter, and it didn't matter if he lost 30,000 people abroad.

Confirming that Zhao sent troops and suffered losses, Huang Xie had some ideas. Mang Mao suggested that Qin Zhao should be allowed to surrender his troops and give Han, Wei, Chu, and Qi a chance to breathe, which was not impossible to succeed. But what is the reason for Qin to give up the fat in his mouth and gnaw on a hard bone? Huang Xie couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Meng Shen seemed to see through his thoughts, and said: "Wei has a talent for debate, and he is left in the countryside. If the time comes, it will take off. Huang Gong may be available. ”

Huang Xie asked with great interest, "Who is it?" ”

Mang Shen looked back at Mr. Che You, Mr. Che You hurriedly came over and said, "It's Fan Ju, and he is from Weicheng." In the seventeenth year of King Zhao, Tian Dan returned to the king with Ju and Jimo. The following year, Wang Nai sent the middle doctor Su Jia to envoy Yu Qi to pass through the good also, and Ju followed. Su Jia Zhi Qi also, several months not to report; And the law of the king of Qi made people give ten catties of gold and cow wine. Jia Zhizhi thought that the affairs of the Wei State should be sued, and he should be told to Wei Xiang Wei Qi. Qi was furious, and under torture, he almost died. The minister secretly sent people to rescue him and hid in the township. On the value of Wang Xu, Qi Sui did not pursue it, as for today. If Huang Gong wants to use it, the ministers should call it. ”

Huang Xie said: "This is not the way to respect the virtuous. ”

Mr. Che You said abruptly: "The minister is careless!" ”

Huang Xie said: "Qi didn't report to Xu Jia, but gave Ju Niu wine and gold, what does it mean?" ”

Mr. Che You said: "It's the ministers who think twice and don't understand it!" If you want to do it, you should visit it secretly, hide it, and not swagger in the market, which is well known. Or if you want Wei to make internal strife, Qi has no strategy, but Wei makes Wei frustrated with Qi, what is the benefit? ”

Huang Xie said: "The way of its debate can be obtained and heard? ”

Mr. Che You said: "Although Juxue is vertical and horizontal, he is also hard-working. Everything must be done personally, and no one dares to slack off. Looking at the world is like looking at the palm of your hand. However, the amount of the instrument is too small to accommodate people. ”

Huang Xie said: "Mr. and Ju know each other well!" ”

Mr. Che You said: "The minister and the Ju classmates are in the Su family, and they swim between Yan and Zhao. The master died in Qi, and the ministers returned. The ministers entered the Mangfu, but Ju was not convinced, and wanted to do things to the king. The family is poor and cannot be self-financed, so it is the first thing that Wei Zhong's doctor must be in order to advance. The world is devastated, the blessings and disasters are unpredictable, the minister has to protect the head, and the Ju is overwhelmed. ”

In the gloomy hall, several people could not see each other's expressions, and could only hear their voices. Hearing Mr. Che You's words, his voice became agitated, Huang Xie stared at Mr. Che You, and said, "Ju's life, Mr.'s merit?" ”

Mr. Che You said: "It is not the power of the minister. The minister has a friend named Hou Huan, although he is located in Yimen, he is a reckless hero, and he knows everything about the beam. The minister invited Hou Huan, but he was born. ”

Huang Xie said: "How can Ju live? ”

Mr. Che You said: "Sui is dead, and he is put in the toilet." After a long time, the keeper asked to abandon the dead in the coffin, and the Sui came out. Zheng Anping, a Wei man, then died and hid at home. But the old minister in his hometown, poor and sick have come to vote for several years! ”

Huang Xie said: "What is Wei Xiangqi? ”

Mr. Che You said: "Wei Xiang or Suozhi, it is worth Wang Xu, and it is a rest." ”

Huang Xie said: "Do you want to be alone? ”

Mr. Che You said: "Ju, a native of Guwei City, his home is thousands of miles away from Daliang, and he can't ask for Ju, and Wei Xiang is not as good as it." ”

Huang Xie said: "So where is Wei Jin?" ”

Mr. Che You said: "The land where Wei Zu was first sealed is in the east of today's Hedong. In the past, the Marquis of Jin was the second army, Zhao Shu was the royal Rong, and Bi Wan was the right, in order to destroy Geng, Huo, and Wei. With Geng Feng Zhao Shu, and Wei Feng Bi Wan, as a doctor. Bu Yan is divination, saying: After Bi Wan, it will be big! 10,000, full number also; Wei, the daimyo also. Princes and peoples, the great life of this day, from the fullest, there will be many. ”

Huang Xie said: "Mr. is erudite and teachable. β€œ

Huang Xie actually wanted to ask about the details of the Battle of Huayang, but he was worried about revealing everyone's scars, so he couldn't help but ask, and asked without words: "Mr. knows Fan Juxian, and he should be recommended by Manggong." β€œ

Mr. Che You said: "His first also, the ministers voted for Manggong, and Ju Yimanggong is not a Wei person, the foundation is shallow, it is difficult to achieve great things, and he wants to do things for the King of Wei." Acting must be done by Dr. Jia as the foundation of advancement. However, his fate was staggered, and he was flogged several times. β€œ

Huang Xie said: "Doctor Sujia, he can't be cared for? Wei Xiangqi is not tolerated? But because they are given together, they will want to hurt the life of Ju? β€œ

Mr. Che You said: "Ju has eloquence, and his mouth is like a river, when he talks arbitrarily, or he loses, and he is frustrated with the doctor and the minister." However, the matter involves diplomatic relations, and no one knows the details! The ministers asked Hou Yingzhi to save each other, and also secretly guarded each other, and Ju Nai was safe. β€œ

Huang Xie said: "Mr. Baoju, does Mang know it?" β€œ

Mr. Che You said: "Chen An dares to betray Manggong." But the matter involves Wei Xiang, and all the princes don't know about it. Shen Gongzi will be Huang Gongye, and Mang Gongnai will ask Fan Ju to help Huang Gong. β€œ

Huang Xie saluted in the seat and said: "The minister deeply feels the righteousness of Manggong and the help of Mr. Now in Qin, if you can be proud, it is all given by Manggong. β€œ

Mang Shen bowed and said: "Father ordered Shen to worship Huang Gong again, but Huang Gong is driven and does not dare to resign." β€œ

Huang Xie said: "This entry into Qin is also, you have to dare to say it, judge it, but move with the camera." With the help of the son and the gentleman, it will be done. β€œ

After a night's rest and a full meal, Mr. Mangshen, Mr. Che You, and Mr. Hu Zhong gradually recovered. The merchants were out buying or selling, and for two days, Huang Xie didn't care about these trivial matters, and only gossiped with Mangshen and the other three in the hall. From time to time, they inquired about a little substance, and the three of them didn't know if they felt it or deliberately didn't hide it, so they all said it bluntly.

On the day of the scheduled departure, it was raining lightly, and Huang Xie was reluctant to change his plan and decided to brave the rain. Wancheng ordered a team of Qin guards to escort and monitor them to LΓΌyi.

LΓΌyi is the former LΓΌ State, and it was also the LΓΌ County of the Chu State. When Huang Xie and the others arrived, they saw an unbelievable scene: Qin soldiers actually handled the handover with soldiers wearing obviously Korean costumes.

Huang Xie went to the Yi Ling Mansion, checked the festival symbols, and confirmed that the Yi Ling was indeed a Qin person. When I went to the pavilion and settled down, I went around and found that the residents here have Korean costumes, Chu costumes, and Qin costumes, and they live together with each other and do not mix with each other. Seeing that so many people dressed in Chu clothes suddenly came to the city, those old Chu people took the initiative to come up to salute and felt very cordial. Huang Xie and the others also answered one by one, and the camera inquired about some local conditions. It turned out that a month earlier, Korea had transferred LΓΌyi to Qin. But Lu Yi's soldiers were all local disciples, and it was impossible for them to leave, so they directly turned into Qin soldiers. These soldiers used to wear Hanbok, but after they turned into Qin soldiers, they couldn't change their outfits for a while, so they still wore Hanbok. Seeing that Korea had peacefully handed over such a huge city to the Qin State, uneasiness swelled in Huang Xie's heart: It seems that if you want to negotiate peace with Qin, the price will not be small!

After the departure on the second day, the weather stops raining from time to time. Lu Yi also sent a team of more than ten people to escort the caravan across several rivers in a row and enter the mountains. At the entrance to the mountain is a small border town. This was once a battlefield where Qin and Chu fought, but since the battle of Lantian, there have been no swords and soldiers here for a long time, and the people of Yi are all Qin people.

After sending the caravan here, LΓΌyi's soldiers returned. The caravan rested for the night and entered the mountain. Turning into a valley, there is Danxi, the birthplace of Chu. Without the interference of the Qin people, Huang Xie led a few people to hang the ancestors of the King of Chu. There were many cities in the land of Danxi, but due to the Qin people's depreciation of merchants, almost no merchants passed through this road. When the people of Yi saw such a huge caravan, they began to think that it was a thief somewhere, and they called the police everywhere. Fortunately, this is the hometown of Chu State, and everyone can still communicate and discuss. Huang Xie explained that he was the prince of Chu, and after showing the ornaments of the Chu royal family, the people of Yi opened the city gate. The caravan chose the larger of them to live in. Although this city is relatively large in the surrounding area, the conditions of the counter-brigade are much worse than those in the plains. Not to mention that the house is low and damp, and there is air leakage on all sides, and the roof leaks rain; The food was not well prepared, not to mention the other services. The merchants and their families had to do it themselves, shopping for food and condiments, and cooking on fires.

In the next few days, everyone walked in the mountains, the physical exertion was very large, and they walked not far every day, and when they saw a slightly larger city, they went to contact the accommodation, and the inconvenience and whether the service was thoughtful were no longer considered. After a few days, everyone entered the Danshui Valley, and the Wuguan built on the mountain was impressive.

Although all the way forward, it is all the land of Qin, but only when you enter Wuguan can you really enter the land of Qin, and before you can only be counted as the land of Chu of Qin. After the Qin people occupied Chu, they generally followed the customs of Chu, and the characteristics of Qin were not obvious, and the journey was finally smooth. After seeing Wuguan from afar, everyone's mood really became nervous.

The commercial activities of the Qin people were relatively underdeveloped, and in addition to the influence of the Shang Dynasty reform, the topography of the Qin land also hindered its communication with the outside of the Guan. The caravan of 500 people led by Huang Xie drove 50 chariots, bumpy on the mountain road, whether it was a leather cart or a chariot, the wear and tear was particularly large, and the goods on the car had to be shockproof, such as pottery, jewelry, etc., which were difficult to transport; Liquid goods that need to be canned are also very inconvenient to transport, and the loss on the way is great. The merchants were originally very eager to open up a trade route between Chu and Qin, but when they saw this situation, they could only shake their heads and sigh.

Wuguan is an important pass for the defense of the Qin army, and it is the defense center of the Danshui Valley, where a large number of Qin troops are stationed and has a complete administrative organization. The Danshui Valley is known as "the land of business" in history. Although the land is a major transportation route, the cultivation conditions are not very good, the fields are mainly distributed on the hillside, cultivation and soil and water conservation are very inconvenient, the countryside is not very large, and the population is not luxuriant.

On the winding mountain road, a huge team suddenly appeared, which naturally aroused the vigilance of the Qin army in Guan. The merchant was still ten miles away, and he could hear the sound of the alarm drum.
