The crown prince and Huang Xie formed a team of fifteen people to enter Qin. For the sake of safety, thirty-five elite soldiers were selected, dressed as porters, and followed forward. I thought that fifty people was enough to streamline, but after arriving at the city where the Qin people stayed, they were repeatedly picked on by Hu Yang: first said that the house was insufficient, and then said that there could only be six people accompanying the pledge. Huang Xie explained that there were six people who accompanied the prince, another prince, a prince's mansion, and a zuo disciple, all of whom were envoys who escorted the prince; Thirty-five porters were ordered by Jingyang Jun to give gifts to the Queen Mother.

What else did Hu Yang say, Jingyang Jun said: "The Queen Mother looks at Chu and has a lot of things, and she can't ignore it." May it be accepted. ”

Hu Yang said: "The minister has taken a break from the camp, and the room where he lives is willing to live with the prince." ”

Hu Yang has an ear room in the house, and Hu Yang doesn't have many things, so he simply packed up and left. Huang Xie watched Hu Yang leave, and he had an indescribable feeling in his heart, and wanted to say a few words to him, but he didn't know where to start, so he could only stand.

After Hu Yang left, a public attendant, at the suggestion of Jingyang Jun, led the prince into the ear room of the back house where Hu Yang lived; A total of five people from the prince's mansion, the attendants and the guards slept with the prince. Huang Xie and the crown prince Fu and other "members of the delegation" shared one room with a total of nine people, and 35 porters shared one room. The box containing the king's jewels and the ten stone water chestnuts given to the queen mother were all piled up in the prince's ear room. It seems to be messy, but it is actually to protect the prince: in case something happens, the five attachés can resist for a moment with the water chestnut and buy time for the reinforcements of the Chu soldiers. Thirty-five porters lived in a side room, which was really incompatible, so they could only sleep under the porch - fortunately, the weather was still warm, and the Chu people had long been accustomed to sleeping in the open, of course, if something happened, they could quickly find out.

That night, Jingyang Jun gathered everyone and conveyed the decree that had just come from Xianyang: the mission should leave for China as soon as the Prince of Chu was stationed. After the Qin people learned from Huang Xie that the crown prince would enter Qin with the mission, they sent an urgent report to Xianyang, and this evening, the corresponding instructions arrived.

Hu Yang arranged to return to China overnight. After breakfast the next day, Qin Jun set out on the road. When the Han envoy sent him off, Jingyangjun and Hu Yang both sat in the car and said goodbye to Han Chen; Prince Chu's car followed behind. The Qin army was in good shape and marched north one after another. Jing Yangjun and the others, as well as the gifts given back by South Korea, all marched in the middle of the team. Arriving at Huayang, the new Huayang Lieutenant went out of the city to work the army, where the Qin army made the final supplies and reorganized the troops. Huang Xie also took advantage of the short break to arrange his future itinerary as much as possible.

After leaving Huayang, the process of the Qin army became cautious: Hu Yang led 500 people to the front of the avant-garde and set off half a day early; The guards escorted the passengers and the officers, and then followed. The second stop turned out to be near Guanyi. Due to the small size of the city, the army did not enter the city. Zheng Anping and others prepared a few stones of water, which can be regarded as a labor army.

The weather in Guanyi is very different now than it was six months ago: peach and plum trees have been planted on both sides of the avenue leading to the Great Wall, and the number of acres of land cultivated has doubled compared to last year – although there is still more barren land and less land. There have been business travelers here one after another, not only are the post stations full, but the counter-brigades in the city are also almost full. Hu Yang had passed here at the end of last year, although it was night, but with the vigilance of the soldiers, he was still familiar with the environment in this area. Huang Xie is also very concerned about this place, because this is a feudal town that Xinling Jun has beaten down and is full of development to develop. For this reason, he begged Huang Xie and begged King Han again.

The camp of the Chu envoy was not far from Jingyangjun. The Chu people did not have the habit of wearing a curtain, and everyone did not have this thing, so fifty people gathered around and surrounded the prince and others in the middle. Those so-called pickers actually revealed their identities on the same day, but everyone also tacitly saw through it and didn't say anything. Huang Xie, Prince Fu, and Prince Fu Cheng are the core of this team, the three of them all sit next to the prince, the attendants and guards sit relatively close to each other, which does not hinder them from talking, and the others sit farther away to play the role of vigilance. Now, Huang Xie explained to the prince the longitude and latitude of this place: Guanyi is at the junction of Wei and Han, Xinlingjun conquered this place, and the king of Wei gave this place to Xinlingjun, which is actually to include this territory in the scope of Wei, which will inevitably cause dissatisfaction in Korea; King Wei gave this piece of land to Xinlingjun, in fact, he gave this hot potato to Xinlingjun to deal with: if Xinlingjun did not handle it well and quarreled with Korea, King Wei would take a step back and lose face; If Xinlingjun handles it well and controls this land steadily, it will naturally be a strategic success for Wei! This meant that Wei's customary borders had expanded outward for dozens of miles, seriously compressing Korea's strategic space, and invisibly hindering or even cutting off Zheng's ties with Xingyang, and Han's control over Xingyang was even weaker. Huang Xie dictated and talked endlessly, for an hour, until the cook told him that the meal was ready.

When Huang Xie left Zheng Guo, he bought twenty-five stone of corn in Zheng Guo at the standard of half a stone per person, and bought a cart to tow it. Since there are densely populated places along the way, you can eat and replenish at any time, and there is no risk of running out of food. When the Chu envoy entered the sacrifice to Korea, he brought a large amount of rice with the ship, and after three or four days of consumption, there was not much left. The remaining stone or two of rice was left for Huang Xie and them. Huang Xie was afraid that the prince would not be used to eating corn, so he left all the remaining rice to the prince, and everyone else had to drink corn porridge. At first, the cooks of Chu State wanted to steam corn like rice, but Huang Xie told them that the steamed corn rice did not taste good, and it was better to cook porridge.

The Chu people were accustomed to eating rice, and suddenly changed to drink millet porridge, the first day was fine, but the second day they found that the millet porridge was not as hungry as rice, and they should have supported it for a day, but they were hungry after walking for half a day, and they were even hungry after arriving at the camp. Huang Xie has been running in the north for a few years, and he has some experience, telling everyone that drinking porridge is not like eating, and it is necessary to eat until it is full. He gestured to the big bowl of Chinese eating and signaled that he wanted to eat such a big bowl.

The Chu people watched the Qin people from a distance, they didn't seem to raise fire, they carried dry food belts with them, and when they camped, they poured some corn into the dry food belt to soak in water and drink. Huang Xie didn't understand it, so he ran to ask a Qin pawn, and then he learned that the dry food of the Qin army was specially fried, and there was no need to cook, and it could be eaten by bubbles in water. The Qin pawn also kindly gave Huang Xie a handful. Huang Xie went back to the camp to soak and eat, and found that there was still salt in it! Huang Xie shared it with everyone, and everyone agreed that it is not bad to eat a little in the short term, but I am afraid that the stomach will not be able to stand it in the long term!

On the third day, he entered Xingyang, on the fourth day he entered Chenggao, and on the fifth day, he entered Gong. Cheng Gao and Gong are both unique places in the world, one husband is the key, and ten thousand people are not open. After two days in Luoyang, it was followed by Xin'an and Mianchi, which originally belonged to Zhou Wangji and are now under Korean jurisdiction. After passing the pond, he entered Shaanxi County, which is regarded as entering Qindi!

After entering Qindi, the situation was obviously different. As soon as the army entered Shaanxi, a pavilion chief came to inquire. After checking the festival charm, the pavilion chief will guide you all the way to the county seat. The county commander warmly welcomed the return of Jingyang Jun and his entourage, and then the Qin army was disbanded on the spot, and Hu Yang stayed behind to write a meritorious performance for all the soldiers; Gifts from South Korea are delivered here, and the type and quantity are counted by the county order, reported to Xianyang, and shipped to various places according to the instructions or left for personal use. Jingyangjun was alone, and took Prince Chu and other fifty people to live in the pavilion. The king of Jingyang is the marquis of Lielie (he is still the marquis of Wan), and he has the right to enjoy the highest food; And Prince Chu and others, as the entourage of Jingyang Jun, although they did not have a title, they received an official meal compared to the title of not better: a bucket of coarse grain, half a liter of sauce, and a vegetable soup; The cattle have forage, half a stone each. Although Huang Xie and the others experienced it once, they were also amazed by the strict implementation of the law by the Qin people, while those princes and his entourage who had never been to the Qin State, and even the Chu pawns, almost dropped their jaws in shock.

The prince's portion of the meal was no different from that of the others. The cook wanted to make a separate rice meal for the prince, but after the prince saw his own meal, he refused, and said: "When you enter Qin, you should eat Qin food, wear Qin clothes, and you don't dare to learn from Chu for thousands of miles." ”

Huang Xie exclaimed: "The prince sees it clearly, and the blessing of the country is also!" ”

The next day, Shaanxi County sent people to escort them along the way until the handover of Hangu Pass. Captain Hangu sent a small team to escort Jingyangjun to the Weishui River, and put everything on the boat, and fifty people marched to Xianyang in two boats first, and handed over to Hangu to escort the army, and sent the empty car to Xianyang by land.

On the day that Jingyangjun arrived in Shaanxi County, the post newspaper had already flown to Xianyang, and the itinerary of Jingyangjun and Prince Chu had been arranged clearly. When the boat arrived at the ferry, the Qin envoy was waiting at the ferry, one person welcomed Jingyang Jun into the palace, and the other guided everyone from Chu State to settle down at the pavilion. When they arrived at the pavilion and allocated the house, the Qin envoy said: "Qin system, those who enter the pledge, and six people are officially fed." Today, Chu has made fifty people, Qin Xiang has been taught, and the Chu country has traveled thousands of miles, and it is not possible to arrive at dusk; And the gift of the Queen Mother is indispensable. Chu envoy fifty, official food for three days. Three days later, it was according to the law. ”

When Huang Xie heard this, he was very embarrassed and asked: "The prince of Chu is the crown when he is young, and his knowledge is not full, so he has a little training in addition to his attendants." I don't know if it's possible! ”

Qin envoy said: "If there is no other teaching, it is not possible!" ”

Huang Xie saw that the Qin envoy had no room for manoeuvre, as long as he waited to see the king, he asked the king for an order, and if it didn't work, he would talk about it. He said to the Qin envoy: "The queen mother's water chestnut is freshly picked, crispy and delicious." If it is overtime, it will be dry and difficult to eat.

Qin envoy said: "The minister should pass the report!" "When I was young, seeing that I had settled down here, Qin Envoy left.

In the afternoon, the Qin envoy came to report that the king ordered the same day. After the rear, they went to the Ganlu Palace to pay homage to the Queen Mother. That night, Huang Xie, the prince Fu and the prince performed the ceremony all night.

The next day, Huang Xie served the prince in Chu clothes, and he also put on official clothes, left the pavilion, and went straight to Zhangtai Palace. After checking the festival charm and reporting it in, Jingyang Jun came out and took the two of them in.
