As soon as Zhang Lu entered Xianyang, he caught up with King Yiqu and died in Ganquan Palace. With the help of well-intentioned people, this incident was rumored to be a peach-colored court murder case! However, King Qin did not panic, handled things in an orderly manner, and tried his best to maintain the stability of the situation. He first kept the secret of the death of the king of Yiqu, and waited for the two princes of Yiqu to enter Qin to worship without interference; Then the king of Yiqu died suddenly during the worship, and many suspicions were dispelled; Immediately announced the burial of the king of Yiqu, which was only a gesture, because the custom of Yiqu was not burial, but cremation, and there was no need for huge tombs; In the end, he sent his two younger brothers, with the assistance of Hu Yang in the middle of the line, to lead 30,000 Qin soldiers straight out of the Yiqu, in the name of helping the sacrifice, but in fact it was suppressed!

This last point was personally supervised by Wu Anjun Bai Qi, and Hu Yang was in charge of the front line command. The focus of this work was on how to ensure the logistical supply of the Qin army: Yiqu was only a few hundred thousand people, and could not afford to supply 30,000 Qin soldiers, so it had to be supplied by the Qin state. The Yiqu is far away for five or six hundred miles, all of which are mountain roads, and they must climb the slopes and cross the hurdles, and they are almost all on foot, and they cannot be opened to traffic. If you rely on the porter to send supplies, it is estimated that the burden you pick is not enough for the porter to consume on the road. Therefore, the Mi Rong plan, which is in charge of logistics, prepares 100,000 people, one round a month, each person on the road for a month (back and forth), Yiqu for a month, and Xianyang for a month. The plan is feasible, but the cost is huge.

Wang Ji served by the side of King Qin, and naturally experienced, witnessed, and heard these things, and told Zhang Lu without reservation. After Zhang Lu learned about this, a plan that he had been calculating in his heart for a long time came to mind. He asked Wang Ji to introduce himself to King Qin immediately, he had a good idea and could solve King Qin's urgent needs! Seeing that Wang Ji was not interested, Zhang Lu said: "The minister has a book with the King of Qin, and I wish to present it to you!" ”

Wang Ji said helplessly: "Sir, please submit the book." If you are not satisfied, don't blame you, sir! ”

Zhang Lu asked Wang Ji to wait for a while, asked the post official for a piece of wood and pen and ink, and wrote a few lines of words in the room: "Zhou has a stone, Song has a knot, Liang has a county quinoa, Chu has and Pu, these four are the treasures of the world, and the good work is lost." A good doctor knows the life and death of a sick person, and the Holy Lord knows what is successful or what fails. Those who speak to the truth, the ministers dare not put it in the book, and those who are shallow are not enough to listen. The minister wishes to give less to the view and see the color. One word is invalid, please be subdued. ”

The next day, Wang Ji entered the palace, and when he was on duty, he presented Zhang Lu's handwritten letter to the king of Qin, and said: "The former minister made Han Wei, and Zhang Lu, who was the widow of Wei Ye, said, 'The country of the king of Qin is in danger, and the minister is safe.'" However, it is not possible to pass it on in writing. 'The minister came. ”

King Qin glanced at Mu Mu and said, "Pretending to be big, there is no way, only to see." He must have it. Let's ask him what is going on, and when the righteous ditch is over, he will see you again. ”

Wang Ji said: "When he heard the matter of the minister's words, he seemed to feel something, so he said this!" ”

King Qin looked at Wang Ji and said, "What did you say about the righteous canal? ”

Wang Ji said: "Yes." The minister is Zhang Lu, and the great sage must have a plan. ”

King Qin said: "And recommend it to Huayang Jun, from the other side!" "Wang Ji should respond. That is, the recommendation was written in the palace, which was sealed by the king of Qin and passed out of the palace.

Zhang Lu saw that King Qin recommended him to Qi Rong, and he was very unhappy. sleeved the letter of recommendation and went to visit the Wangji Mansion. Wang Ji introduced his recommendation to King Qin and King Qin's reaction to Zhang Lu, and then suggested: "Huayang Junism is a heavy matter of grain and grass, and if you have meritorious service, you will be able to move the king." If it is not satisfactory, the minister will recommend it again. It's better than sitting in a dry house. ”

Zhang Lu had no other way. Since the King of Qin ordered him to report to Mi Rong, the Natural Pavilion Station was unstoppable. Fortunately, there was nothing to pack, so the next day I took a burden, said goodbye to the post officer, and took the documents of the King of Qin with me, and reported to Mirong.

Mi Rong sits in Wangyi Palace, fifty or sixty miles away from the pavilion post, according to Qin law, you can walk for two days, and there is a pavilion post rest on the road. Zhang Lu just arrived in Xianyang, everything is inconvenient, asked all the way, while talking to people, his health is not good, he can't walk fast, and he passed Weishui at dusk, and then walked to Xianyang Palace. I found a pavilion next to Xianyang Palace, checked the festival charm, and lived in. He took the key from the postman and came out, looking for his information everywhere, and a person behind him shouted, "Is Mr. Fan ahead?" ”

Zhang Lu looked back and couldn't help but be surprised and delighted. The person who came turned out to be Huang Xie - it turned out that Prince Chu and Huang Xie lived in this pavilion, but they were first-class rooms, two courtyards with three rooms and two entrances; And Zhang Lu is just a single room. Zhang Lu hurriedly went over to salute and said, "I don't want to meet my son here." Rong Chen is safe, so come and see you! Huang Xie pointed out his courtyard and said, "The servant lives in the front yard, and there is a gentleman who lives with the servant." ”

The two said goodbye. Zhang Lu quietly looked around, and there was no one else, so he calmed down. Quickly find your room, put down your baggage, tidy up your appearance a little, and regardless of fatigue and hunger, you went to the courtyard where Huang Xie lived.

It was a retainer who opened the door, and he had already received Huang Xie's instructions to invite Zhang Lu to the school room and report it himself. When he was young, Huang Xie, Mangshen, Mr. Che You, and Mr. Hu Zhong all came out. A few people are like old acquaintances in a foreign country, and their intimacy is abnormal.

Zhang Lu hurriedly said the important thing first, and said: "In order to treat the nobles who are guilty, the minister died in the wilderness and changed his name to Zhang Lu." This car Mr. knows everything. If you haven't reported it to your son, I hope your son won't leak it. ”

Huang Xie even said that he didn't dare. Mr. Che You said: "We are also outlaws. This Shen Gongzi! ”

Zhang Lu also came to his senses and said: "I heard that the five sons of Manggong are the most virtuous, and they must be the sons of Shen!" ”

How dare Manshen even say. Everyone went to the main hall together, and Mangshen was called "Shen Gongzi", after Shen Gong; Mr. Che You was called "Mr. Right" and Mr. Hu Zhong was called "Mr. Zhong", both of whom were retainers of Duke Shen. Zhang Lu introduced his meeting with Gongzi, and was recognized, and rumors spread in the market, which had alarmed Wei Xiangfu; He was forced to be helpless, so he had to borrow the power of Qin's envoy Wang Ji to avoid the Qin State and arrive before the year. Huang Xie naturally knew that these rumors were all instructed by Mr. Che You, but it was impossible to say that he would say something, and said something "The servant is thoughtful, thoughtful, and does not intend to affect Mr." Fortunately, Mr. is talented, and he is out of the tiger's mouth alone", and glanced at Mr. Che You, as if to say, it is difficult for Mr. Fan, right!? Mr. Che You only didn't know it, and he was secretly surprised in his heart: Zhang Lu came from Wei to Qin so inconspicuously!

After sitting down, Zhang Lu said: "After the ministers entered Qin, the change of the righteous canal, the king's road was blocked. The king ordered his ministers to wait under the command of Huayang Jun. The minister then went to Wangyi Palace, but he didn't expect to meet the son! ”

Huang Xie said: "With Mr. Cai, if you go to Huayang, you will make great achievements!" ”

Zhang Lu said: "The minister has nothing to do with the military, and he goes to the army and doesn't know what to do." ”

Several people looked at each other for a moment and said: "The matter of the war, I have my own generals to lead the captain, and the gentleman's trip is also, but it is just to raise grain and straw, collect cars and people's husbands, and transport them in a steady stream." ”

Zhang Lu said: "The ministers heard it to the king, the righteous canal was to Xianyang, the mountains are high and the rivers are far away, the ravines are vertical and horizontal, the car is not good, and the people do not continue." Huayang Jun wants to take 100,000 people, rotating on a monthly basis, for half a year. ”

Huang Xie said: "The mountain road is rugged, but through pedestrians, it is self-contained. ”

Zhang Lu said: "The minister thinks that the rammed earth is the way, what can I do? ”

Huang Xie said: "What do you mean? ”

Zhang Lu said: "The minister's view of the thoroughfare, but it has been trampled on, and the soil is solid; Those who are strong will pass without a trace. The minister thinks that if the order of artificial ramming is strong, and the order of extension is wide, the car can be ridden, and there is no benefit? ”

Huang Xie said: "Something may happen...... But no one does it...... Or the cost of labor is less. ”

Zhang Lu said: "Compared with 100,000 people, it is not too much. ”

Huang Xie said: "Mr. Chenzhi, you may be able to succeed!" ”

Zhang Lu said: "The car is one step wide, the road is three steps wide, and it can run side by side." 100 steps per day, 30 steps long. 10,000 people can reach 300,000 steps a day, thousands of miles. The next day, it can be built in one day. Not counting, or even more. ”

Mr. Che You said: "It's not true." The mountain road is rugged, deep or shallow, and one step or more than ten can not be done; It's not like Litian, one step at a time. ”

Zhang Lu said: "As for the Yiqu in Xianyang, it is only five or six hundred miles. Five longitudinal and ten work, ten days will be completed! ”

Everyone can't seem to think of any loopholes to refute, so they can only nod their heads and say yes. So Zhang Lu and Mr. Che You put aside everyone and carefully calculated on the side. Huang Xie and Mangshen smiled helplessly, Huang Xie said goodbye and returned to the back house, and Mangshen and Mr. Hu Zhong also joined the discussion.

After a night of research, Zhang Lu was already full of confidence in himself when he walked out of the pavilion the next day. He was not in a hurry, and also observed the activities and mental state of Xianyang Shimin while walking. His grinning attitude contrasted sharply with the cautious attitude of the passers-by on the road.

When he arrived at Wangyi Palace, Zhang Lu showed the decree of King Qin. Huayangjun sent a waiter to arrange a lodging place for Zhang Lu and brought him to Huayangjun.

Hua Yangjun's desk is full of books and calculations, and I am busy on the desk. The squire went over and reported "see you in Zhang Lujin". After Qi Rong finished handling the document in his hand, he put it aside, knelt up, and asked Zhang Lu to sit down in front of the case. Zhang Lu saluted and sat down in front of the desk. Qi Rong said: "Lonely Shaowen, where did Mr. Unknown come from?" ”

Zhang Lu said: "The minister Zhang Lu, a native of Ben Wei, will not give up on the king, and recommend the minister to the king, which is to serve him!" ”

Qi Rong said: "If you recommend you, you will get it!" Mr. Qin Wang recommends that when he goes to Wangyi Palace, there must be advice! ”

Zhang Lu said: "When the King of Qin heard that the prince and the marquis were even more hardworking, the special minister offered a plan to solve it for the prince and marquis!" ”

Qi Rong said: "What's the plan? ”

Zhang Lu said: "The ministers are invited to spend a month to dig a road to the Yi Canal, and the cars can be passed, and the soldiers have no trouble of trekking." ”

Qi Rong said: "What do you think? ”

Zhang Lu said: "Does the prince think that his plan is good? ”

Qi Rong said: "If you succeed, you will naturally be very good." Many hardships were solved in one fell swoop. ”

Zhang Lu said: "The minister heard that the prince and the marquis levied 100,000 for the righteous canal, and the minister asked 30,000 to complete it." ”

Qi Rong said: "What do you think? ”

Zhang Lu said: "I wish to make the wrong choice for the prince and the prince, and raise it for the king!" ”
