After careful consideration, Zhang Lu gave up the idea of personally exploring Yidao and went all out to cross the river.

Despite all the preparations in advance, there are still many unexpected problems that arise every day, causing headaches for everyone. But no matter how arduous the process, the result was perfect: 20,000 Qin troops, together with baggage, all crossed the river from Mengjin in five days.

After crossing the river, the barracks were set up on the beach next to the ferry. The main work of Bing Cao and Gongzi Xuan became to draw up a merit book for the county where the soldiers who participated in the war, and the Gong Cao of each battalion participated in this matter collectively. From far to near, write a county, and let the county lieutenant of that county return to his hometown with the soldiers of his own county. By the time all the Qin troops had crossed the river, the soldiers of several counties had already gone.

Although the soldiers of Ye County were temporarily recruited by Hu Yang as a pro-battalion, and the pro-guards were also selected, Hu Yang is not here now, and there are no official documents for these disposals, and everyone thinks that Hu Yang's life is short, so the soldiers and guards of Ye County are not treated as pro-battalions, but they recognize their merits. Zheng Anping's merits are obvious, it is estimated that there will be at least one more official doctor, who can have a personal camp of fifty people, Wang Yi and Sima Jin both suggested that Zheng Anping choose fifty people from Hu Yang's personal guards as his own personal camp. When Zheng Anping went to recruit, most of the people in Yexian County were reluctant to leave home for a long time, and they had psychological obstacles to live in Xianyang for a long time, so they only recruited five people in the end. In fact, thinking about moving five families from Yexian County to Xianyang, Zheng Anping's head is also big.

After staying for another two days, all the civilian troops were disbanded, and the officers of each family took their respective pro-battalions and the civilian troops from various counties in Guanzhong to cross the Yinhan Road and return to Guanzhong. There are a lot of soldiers who have been described, but there are not many officers who are enough to describe, except for Zheng Anping, there are only about a dozen people, and most of them are doctors; Although Sima Jin and Wang Ji both attacked the city and won more than 1,000 heads, their subordinates also suffered casualties. - Of course, the fact that thousands of soldiers under his command can receive at least one level of merit is also a big gain. Chen Si can definitely be promoted to knighthood, but this is because his current title is not a sergeant, not an officer, and he is not according to the standard of an officer.

The reports of Gongzi Xuan and Zhang Lu had already been reported to Xianyang. When they arrived in Shaanxi County, they received an order from Xianyang, and Zhang Lu put down the crowd and returned to Xianyang as soon as possible. Everyone's hearts were tight, and they didn't know what was going on in Xianyang. Zhang Lu didn't dare to delay, took Huang Xie and Zheng Anping and others, borrowed a car from Shaanxi County, galloped into Hanguguan, took a boat to Weishui, and returned to Xianyang. After arriving in Xianyang, the envoy of the Prime Minister's Mansion was already waiting at the post station, and he asked everyone else to return to the pavilion, and Zhang Lu got in the car and galloped away.

The car stopped in front of Hu Yang's house. Zhang Lu saw that it was Hu Yang's business, and let go of most of his heart. The messenger stepped forward and knocked at the door, and someone came out and brought Zhang Lu in. In a side room, it turned out to be the confessor Wang Ji.

When Wang Ji saw Zhang Lu coming in, he got up and saluted, and took Zhang Lu to the back house to visit Hu Yang's injuries. Wang Ji came to the front of the stairs and reported: "Keqing Zhang Lu, please see you!" When he was young, a woman's voice said through the curtain: "Welcome! ”

The two of them went up the stairs and into the room. Hu Yang set up a seat under the east wall, and put a screen in front of the seat. A row of women on the west wall saw the two of them come in and saluted slightly. In front of the screen was Hu Yang's wife, who also curtsied, took Zhang and Wang to the screen, and left herself next to the screen.

It's only been a few days, and Hu Yang's calves are completely black. The fever has ceased, and the breath has weakened; He was conscious, but he was very late. Seeing Zhang Lu coming in, it seemed that he wanted to pay tribute, but he couldn't raise his hand. Zhang Lu stepped forward and saluted: "Unexpectedly, I was more seriously injured!" ”

Hu Yang shook his head and said: "The subordinates are tired and cause old diseases, but fortunately, thanks to Zhang Qing, they have to return to the death table." Zhang Lu immediately understood that Hu Yang was unwilling to link his death with this expedition, and the reason he was looking for was to cause an old disease. He knowingly said: "The Qin army in Handan has all returned to their hometowns, and the merits have been completed, and there are thousands of meritorious ones. Our friends Zheng and Chen are all meritorious. Be careful to be more virtuous! ”

Hu Yang said: "Qing family Zheng and Chen, for a great achievement, unfortunately can't do it!" He waved his hand for his wife to leave, and when she came out, she called all the concubines under the west wall out of the back door, closed the door, and sat down in front of the steps, and the concubines were far away.

Hu Yang said: "The party can pass Handan." However, the road is dangerous and difficult, and this is when Zhang Qing makes contributions! ”

Zhang Lu said: "I will not dare to live up to the hope of the middle and the more!" ”

Hu Yang said: "The passage of the Qing is not only relied on by the soldiers, but also by the people. Don't ignore it. ”

Zhang Lu said: "Be careful! ”

Hu Yang said: "The minister is sick, and he will no longer see Qin Zhisheng, hate it, hate it!" I don't want to! ”

Zhang Lu said: "Don't worry about it, there will be blessings!" ”

Hu Yang said: "The minister's opinion, all the ...... is paid to the marquis" These words seem to exhaust Hu Yang's last strength, and the sound is slightly unpleasant.

Zhang Lu said: "The middle guard is in peace, and the ministers are retreating!" ”

The two withdrew, Wang Ji went to the back door to ask his wife to come back, and the two resigned and returned to the wing. Zhang Lu asked Wang Ji: "Why does the confessor stay here?" ”

Wang Ji said: "The king's order, when the middle watch rises, there may be a last word, which is the order of the person who observes it day and night, but if there is a word, it will be repaid." ”

Zhang Lu said: "This can be reported to Wang Ye." ”

Wang Ji said: "The branch should be!" The two of them were in the wing room, writing the dialogue between Hu Yang and Zhang Lu and putting it aside. Wang Ji asked Zhang Lu to rest, and Zhang Lu said: "I haven't heard of the teachings of the confessor for a long time, but now I have it, I am willing to ask for advice!" Wang Jilian said, "How dare you." The two began to gossip. Zhang Lu gave a rough introduction to the situation of rescuing the Qin army, and Wang Ji introduced the government of the Qin State in the past few days since Hu Yang returned. Suddenly, Wang Ji said: "Qin He's happy events are known to the whole country, and Duqing is in Luoyang, or it has not been heard." ”

Zhang Lu said: "He Xi? ”

Wang Ji said: "The Queen Mother gave marriage to the Prince of Chu!" ”

Zhang Lu said: "Who is the female family? ”

Wang Ji said: "It is the young daughter of King Qin!" ”

Zhang Lu didn't know anything about the family affairs of the King of Qin, and asked: "The King of Qin is over fifty years old, the prince and the prince are both long, how old is his daughter?" ”

Wang Ji said: "The king of Qin is difficult for his heirs, although he has several children, he has many children. Adults, but two men and one woman. The second man is also known. A woman, born in the king's forties, is sexually intelligent, and the king loves her very much. Now it's time to do it. The queen mother and the prince traveled, loved it very much, and ordered the king to marry him as a daughter! ”

Zhang Lu said: "Wang Qiyunzhi? ”

Wang Ji said: "Wang is very filial, the Queen Mother is personally ordered, and she is not allowed!" However, the king loves his daughter very much, and does not want her to come out, and wishes the prince to live in Qin for a long time. ”

Zhang Lu said: "The prince is allowed to do it? ”

Wang Ji said: "The prince dares to reply. The prince Fu Yan, the left disciple, his father is also stubborn, he should report it, and tell the king also! ”

Zhang Lu said: "One more word. Is there a king of Qin who marries a daughter to the prince, and the king of Chu doesn't know? ”

The two talked for a long time about the marriage of King Qin, and Zhang Lu found that it seemed that the prince and the princess had already met, and they were still very eye-to-eye with each other. This made Zhang Lu surprised. He wondered with some expectation what Huang Xie's attitude was towards this matter.

The confessor who came to take over arrived on time, Wang Ji signaled to the confessor, and the middle guard and Zhang Qing had a brief conversation, which was recorded. The confessor nodded in agreement and asked Wang Ji to return to the palace to report. Zhang Lu also left with Wang Ji and went to the pavilion to rest.

When Zhang Lu arrived at the pavilion, the envoy sent by the Marquis was already waiting for him. Zhang Lu changed his clothes and left with the messenger.

The messenger brought Zhang Lu to Wei Xiang's mansion, and Wei Xiang's family opened the door and took Zhang Lu in. When he was young, Wei Ran came out in casual clothes. The two met and sat opposite each other.

Wei Ran first told Zhang Lu about his hard work, and then asked about the situation of the army and soldiers, and when he heard that there were thousands of meritorious personnel, he was very happy and said: "Those who I am worried about are also short of agricultural affairs. Thousands of acres of land will be recovered this spring. Then he asked: "The two sons of the Qing family went to the camp together, what is their merit?" ”

Zhang Lu replied honestly: "Chengzhong is more elevated, and each has a merit." ”

Wei Ran said: "The topographical map of mountains and rivers drawn by the Chen family of the Qing family is very conducive to the map. I will do it again. ”

Zhang Lu bowed and said: "The prince and the prince raise their love, and the ministers should thank you!" ”

Wei Ran said: "Qing Zhizhi is in the middle of the view, how long he has lived, what is his appearance?" ”

Zhang Lu said: "The middle guard is critically injured, his breath is dying, and it is difficult to get up if he is not recuperating." ”

Wei Ran said: "Wu Anjun thinks that the poisonous fire is attacking his heart, and he can't go back. Unexpectedly, after a few days of recuperation, the fever was cleared. What a blessing! ”

Zhang Lu said: "However, I look at the dying injury, the good and the bad prevail, and the evil is undecided. ”

Wei Ran said: "What Qing said is true. However, when he was critically ill, he offered his advice to the king, and said that the party had a way to lead to Handan. As he spoke, he took out a scroll and looked at it carefully, and said, "It is a repainting of the scroll drawn by Chen Zi." Pointing to the picture, he said: "Chen Zi came down from Yanhe and arrived in Handan in three days." ”

Zhang Lu said: "The minister is in Luoyang, and I also heard that the Wei army is from Nanyang. The envoy reported it for only three or two days. ”

Wei Ran said: "Han Junzhi joined the party in Nanyang; Under the Wei army, the party is from the right side of the mountain. There are two ways to get to the party. And the middle is more resigned, or said that Taiyuan Tonghandan also, also passed the party. There are three more. ”

Zhang Lu said: "The minister is willing to dig a passage road and go directly to Handan." ”

Wei Ran glanced at Zhang Lu and said: "Taoyi waterways are four reaches, and they also lead to Handan, but there are few soldiers and little strength, and it is difficult to do it." If you get the ...... of Tao Eup"

Zhang Lu said: "Taoyi, the land of merchants, the people are stubborn, not accustomed to conquest, but good at internal fighting. Even if there are 100,000, there is no way to fight. ”

Wei Ran said: "The people don't practice war, they teach it in the government!" Tao, the minister is also a feudal city, he has never practiced war, and the crime of the minister is also. Now you should be more responsible. ”

Zhang Lu said: "Sitting in Jia to do business, saving more servants, ignoring the countryside and valuing interests, his line is very different from that of the farmer, and it is difficult to learn to fight." In the past, the change of the merchant monarch was also, emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business, and it was good to do this. Tao, in the world, merchants prevail, Mo can suppress; Although the four fields are wide, there are often floods, and it is difficult to cultivate, and there are few farmers. Even if the Qin law suppresses the other, it may be difficult to do it. ”

Wei Ran said: "Zhang Qing knows one thing, but he doesn't get the other. There are many businessmen and servants, boats and cars travel thousands of miles, the body is quick and convenient, and they are elite without practice; And the eyes and ears of the world, up to the temple, down to the grass, everything is heard. If you can collect it and use it, the world is not enough to conquer! ”
