Faced with Bai Qi's straightforward question, Wei Ran said: "Ru governs the east of the river, and I will govern Tao." About 10 years old, who is good? ”

Bai Qi said: "If you are not like a prince." ”

Wei Ran said: "Ruguang Hedong, Wu Guangtao, about ten years old, who is wide?" ”

Bai Qi said: "The prince has not risen. ”

Wei Ran said: "I tried it with you for about ten years, but what? ”

Bai Qi said: "The ministers really don't dare to compete with the princes. The ministers have no virtue, and the princes and princes are in the army; The ministers are ignorant, and the princes pull out the ministers to the people. The prince and prince can still swing the car in their seventies, and what can he ...... to do."

Wei Ran said: "Ru Xizhi will attack Hanoi with the east of the river? Zhang Xiang can do it, but I can't. Do you know that you can rule the princes with Qin? Zhang Xiang can do it, but I can't. Can Runing Zhiyiqu and Shu Han help Qin? Zhang Xiang can do it, but I can't. I only govern a city, attack and occupy, and wantonly do it, and have no ability to rule the world! And Zhang Xiang can do it. You look at the hegemony of Qin in the world! ”

Bai Qi said: "He is a tourist, so he is good to say, every time he says the world, there is actually no way to ......"

Wei Ran interrupted: "Zhang Xiangfei not only said, but also said that the east of the river will serve Hanoi, and it will be successful." ”

Bai Qi said: "The prince is on this trip, what do you want? ”

Wei Ran said: "I only want to govern a county, rich and rich." ”

Bai Qi said: "What should the minister do? ”

Wei Ran said: "Yizhi is a county, making it rich and rich." ”

Bai Qi said: "The minister is willing to use the power of a county to attack Fen in the north and cross Ji in the south, and do everything in Hanoi and Fenshang." The other did not dare to know. ”

Wei Ran said: "Attacking the city and pulling out the city, the king can also do it." If you cure it, you are willing to listen to it. Although he is a lieutenant, he does not have to be placed in the army, but he can govern his people. ”

Bai Qi said: "Be careful! ”

Wei Ran said: "The river wind will rise, I wish to cross it quickly." I am in Tao, and I look at you in Hanoi! ”

Bai Qi didn't dare to say more, and got up to say goodbye. Hurry to cross the Yellow River before it gets dark and the wind picks up. Wei Ran sent him out of the door, and said secretly in his heart: "Who can Wu Anjun obey?" If you can't take it, it's enough to hurt your ears! ”

The next day, the convoy will leave Chenggao and enter Xingyang. This section of the road is narrow and difficult to walk with mountains on one side and rivers on one side. Wei Ran relied on the feeling of being on the battlefield for a long time, and found that there were obviously more fishing boats on the river, and most of them were on the south bank. He felt that this should be sent by Bai Qi to protect him, so he simply climbed the tower, exposed himself, and waited until the convoy was completely passed before leaving. Cheng Gao Shou didn't know why, he accompanied Wei Ran to blow the cold wind on the city tower for a day, and it was hot that night, and Wei Ran was fine!

From the letter to the valley pass to the north, Wei Ran has walked this road many times in the past 30 years, and each time it is bloody and bloody; Nearly half of the soldiers who were brought out of the customs were difficult to return to their hometowns and became ghosts in other places; Like today, with gold and silver treasures, domestic servants and concubines passed through like a tour of the mountains and rivers, and it was the first time in his life.

I walked for two days from Chenggao to Beipi, and when I arrived in Beipi, it was late, so I camped at the foot of the mountain to rest. This is the first time since leaving the country that camping has been arranged. - Of course, Wei Ran's family of 100 still arranged to live in a reverse journey.

At night, the moonlight was bright, Wei Ran stepped out of the room, walked in the courtyard, and suddenly heard someone on the roof shouting "Junhou". Wei Ran was startled, and when he looked up, a man in black on the roof was waving at him, and then in a flash, he crossed the ridge and disappeared in the darkness of the night, and something fell in front of Wei Ran. Wei Ran picked it up, and it was a piece of silk cloth wrapped in stones, on which the word "Xilin" was written in charcoal ash.

Wei Ran called a few retainers, went out, and came west, and sure enough, he saw a man with a hat on the edge of the forest. The retainers were taken aback and hurriedly protected Wei Ran in the middle. Wei Ran separated the crowd and told them not to follow, and walked towards the man alone. Walking up, Wei Ran asked, "Where is Gong Chen?" ”

The man said, "Dead! ”

Wei Ran said: "When?" ”

The man said: "Three days ago. ”

Wei Ran said: "Why did you die?" ”

The man said: "Yu Qing went out in all directions, and Chen Gong investigated it, and wanted to repay the prince." Unexpectedly, he encountered a cold and fell ill, but died. ”

Wei Ran said: "Chen Gong Sujian, He Yi died of illness. ”

The man said: "It is difficult for a healthy person to be a small problem; Those who have been ill for a long time will be drowned. ”

Wei Ran said: "I also want to follow Chen Gong and die of illness." What is the future of the gentleman? ”

The man said: "I have an old relationship with Xinlingjun, and I am willing to vote for it." ”

Wei Ran said: "Although Xinlingjun has the name of loyalty, he is actually incapable. May the gentleman give it up. The minister goes to Tao to the country, and Mr. will help him! ”

The man said: "The prince and the prince are Qin, and they have the power of a country; Why should it be sealed? ”

Wei Ran said: "Qin Xiang Zhang Jun has no power to restrain the chicken, and he is really a husband. I'm old and powerless, so let it go! ”

The man said: "If the prince is incapacitated, why invite the little man to help?" ”

Wei Ran said: "Cheng Zenggong's eyes are also! I have an appointment with Zhang, the power of Peter Hedong, the power of Taoyi, who can make a big start! Therefore, I hope that Mr. will help him. ”

The man thought for a while, took off his hat, and bowed three times on the spot. Wei Ran bowed back three times. Fifty paces behind him, the retainers looked at it, and although they didn't know what they meant, they were also relieved.

When he was young, the two of them came over, and the man had already gone to the hat, but it was Zeng Ji. I haven't seen him for a few years, Zeng Ji is obviously a lot older, but his cynical posture is still the same. The retainers brought by Wei Ran had all seen Zeng Ji and knew that he was Chen Xiao's entourage, and every time he had a confidential mission, he didn't dare to talk to him or inquire. Wei Ran said: "Mr. Zeng is temporarily with Tao, I should treat him as a guest!" "Everyone praises it. After arriving home, he changed into a set of clothes, and Zeng Ji quickly integrated with his retainers. Although Wei Ran asked to be treated politely, Zeng Ji didn't care about it at all.

The next day, after breakfast, we headed to Xingze. Xingyang Shou was already waiting there. According to Wei Ran's request, Xingyang Shou prepared hundreds of large and small ships to transport goods for Wei Ran. He didn't expect Wei Ran to have so many goods and so many people. Wei Ran comforted him, there was no need to set off all at once, just arrange a hundred ships every day. Xingyang Shou flattered in every way, and even won Wei Ran's favor.

Xingyang Shou made a gap and asked: "I heard that Qin wants to cut down Jin, but now that he has cut down Wei, what will he do?" ”

Wei Ran replied as if very casually: "The one who is killed by Qin is nothing but Han Wei. Wei has chased Wei Qi, and the seal of Mrs. He and the princess has been served. Those who are cut down today will also be Han. ”

Xingyang Shou asked again: "Where should I cut down?" ”

Wei Ran grinned and said, "Shou He asked." Now the east of the river is strong, if you don't cut down Hanoi, then cut down Fen, what to ask. ”

Xingyang Shoudao: "If it is, why should the prince go to Taoye?" ”

Wei Ran said: "Gai wants to kill Zhao Ye." Out of the letter valley, but adjacent to Han and Wei, not with Zhao, it is inconvenient to cut Zhao. If the pottery is produced, then Zhao, Qi, and Yan all have to be felled. ”

Xingyang Shoudao: "Chu and Qin's neighbors, do you have to do anything? ”

Wei Ran said: "The prince of Chu marries the daughter of Qin, the daughter of Chu returns to the monarch of Anguo, and Chu An Devaye?" ”

Xingyang Shoudao: "Although Xingyang is Korean, he is friendly with the princes, and he is willing not to cut it down." ”

Wei Ran said: "Xingyang is a land with four links, but if you have it, you must cut it down." Xingyang Shou smiled wryly, not knowing how to respond.

Wei Ran didn't give up, and said very kindly: "Guarding what you know?" He used to be Wei Shouyi, and now he is Qin Shouyi, and his Shouyi is also, how difficult is it! ”

Xingyang Shou had to say: "Thank you, Marquis!" ”

Not only the goods had to be taken away, but also the cattle and the vehicles had to be put into the pottery. Therefore, after the goods were transported onto the ship, the coachmen also marched to Tao by land in batches under the escort of the pro-battalion. It wasn't until the third day that all the goods were on board and set sail, and Wei Ran and a group of retainers and relatives set sail in a car. Everyone persuaded Wei Ran to take a boat, but Wei Ran disagreed, and he must take a car. With no women or goods, the lightly loaded carts traveled as fast as the speed of the boats. The cities along the way are still ushered in, very respectful; When crossing the Great Wall, the king of Wei actually sent his uncle to the ferry to greet and see him off, and it was a toast and a gift, and the etiquette was very thoughtful, and it was completely impossible to see that Wei Ran was the sworn enemy of Wei, and had besieged Daliang several times, but like a friend for many years.

The last big city in Wei Jing on the edge of Jishui was Jiyang. After leaving Jiyang, he left the Wei realm, which was still more than a hundred miles away from Tao. Zeng Ji asked Wei Ran to get on the ship, saying that because this area was located on the border of various vassal states, thieves were rampant, and the marquis was on the ship to facilitate protection.

Wei Ran said: "It is inconvenient to rotate on the boat, but the carriage and horses are smart!" "Stick to the ride. At the same time restrain the flotilla and convoy, remain vigilant, and wind up the crossbow.

Along the way, except for the floods, there are no people on both sides of the river, and there are only occasional dilapidated ruins, which record the prosperity and wealth of this place. Wei Ran asked Zeng Ji puzzled: "There is abundant water here, why is there no one to cultivate it?" ”

Zeng Ji said: "It is the land, there are no mountains and rivers to defend each other, the city is dependent on each other, and the people have nothing to protect, so although the water is abundant, although the land is beautiful, it can be the ears of jackals." ”

Wei Ran looked around, and sure enough, there were wild beasts from time to time. He asked, "Is there a jackal?" ”

Zeng Ji said: "There may be less during the day, but more at night." I have many cattle and horses, and I will be strictly guarded at night, and I will be fine. ”

Wei Ran nodded and said: "If you start acres of land here and gather people, you can get 100,000 people." ”

Zeng Ji said: "Although, the car rode back and forth, and died overnight. ”

Wei Ran said: "The matter is man-made, if you get the law, you will get rich." ”

Zeng Ji said: "May the prince show his might, and Ze will be the world." ”

Wei Ran looked at the ruins that occasionally flashed by, and fell into deep thought for a moment.

Suddenly, many of the horses neighed, and some even stopped. Zeng Ji said: "There may be wolves before, and Ma Prophet is also." ”

Wei Ran laughed and said: "In this wilderness, the chariots and horses gallop together, and chase the rabbits and wolves, it is very happy!" "Take the bow in hand, give the order, and prepare for the hunt.

He asked the infantry to guard the ox cart and walk slowly. Fifty chariot soldiers lined up, and with an order, they rode their horses and drove forward. Before long, hordes of wild beasts rose from the grass. The bowstrings of the carts sounded repeatedly, and from time to time wild beasts fell with arrows. After galloping for two or three miles, sure enough, a group of wolves were startled, and they did not panic like other beasts, but retreated slightly to the side, observing Wei Ran's movements. Wei Ran was amazed and couldn't help but feel competitive. He adjusted his formation, determined to wipe out the wolves.
