While listening to Mang Shen's narration, Huang Xie recalled Mang Mao's previous introduction. Comparing the two, he found no flaws, which must be the truth. He also thought that after the war in Huayang, the three Jin Dynasties allied with Qin at the same time, and Zhao Guo

The troops were sent out and the battle was defeated, probably some. But the defeat was not disastrous, and there were no injuries. It was only 30,000 people. In the past, Zhao was invaded by Wei and invaded the capital Handan, but nothing happened. He lost 30,000 people outside the country.

Thousands of people, it shouldn't be a big deal.

After confirming that Zhao had sent troops and suffered losses, Huang Xie had some ideas. Mang Mao suggested that Qin and Zhao should fight each other to give Han, Wei, Chu, and Qi a chance to breathe. It was not impossible to succeed. But Qin had to give up what he was talking about.

What's the reason for chewing a piece of fat meat? Huang Xie couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Mang Shen seemed to have read through his thoughts and said: "Wei has a talent for eloquence, which he left in the countryside. If he can get it at the right time, he will take off. Huang Gong may be able to use it."

Huang Xie asked with great interest: "Who is that?"

Mang Shen turned around and looked at Mr. Cheyou, who hurried over and said, "This person's name is Fan Ju, and he is from Weicheng. In the seventeenth year of King Zhao's reign, Tiandan was restored to Ju, Jimo, and all the land was restored. The following year, he reported to the king.

, the king sent the middle-ranking official Xu Jia to Qi to communicate with him, and Ju followed him. When Xu Jia came to Qi, he could not get any reward for several months. However, the King of Qi's decree instead sent people to give ten catties of gold and cattle wine. Xu Jia was sent to Qi.

Knowing this, he thought that Sui was suing Qi for Wei's secret affairs, so he reported it to Wei Qi. Qi was furious and tortured him, and he almost died. His ministers secretly sent people to rescue him and hid him in the countryside. When the king was dying, Qi

So there is no further investigation, and as of today. If Mr. Huang wants to use it, I should call him."

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

Mr. Che You said in shock: "I'm careless!"

Huang Xie said: "Qi did not reward Xu Jia, but instead gave Ju Niu wine and gold. What does it mean?"

Mr. Cheyou said: "I have thought about it over and over again but can't figure it out! If you want to do something about Ju Ju, you should visit them secretly and hide them. You should not show them off to the market and let everyone know. Maybe you want to Wei Wei.

There is internal strife and Qi has no strategy, but if Wei envoys are frustrated by Qi, what is the benefit?"

Huang Xie said: "Is it possible to learn and understand the way of debating?"

Mr. Cheyou said: "Although Ju is a scholar, he is talented in practical work. He must do everything personally and never dare to slack off. He looks at the world as if he were looking at the palm of his hand. However, his capacity is too small to accommodate others."

Huang Xie said: "Sir and Ju know each other very well!"

Mr. Cheyou said: "I and Ju were classmates in the Su family and traveled between Yan and Zhao. The Shi family died in Qi, and I and others returned home. I entered the Mang Mansion, but Ju refused to accept it and wanted to work for the king. The family was poor and had no choice.

Self-financing is the first step to recruit the great officials of the Wei Dynasty to seek advancement. The world is devastated, and fortunes and misfortunes are unpredictable. The ministers have to keep their heads, but Ju will fall into disgrace."

In the dark hall, several people could not see each other's expressions, and could only hear voices. Hearing Mr. Che You's words, his voice became excited. Huang Xie stared at Mr. Che You and said, "It's Mr. Ju's contribution to his resurrection?"

"

Mr. Cheyou said: "It is not my power. I have a friend named Hou Ying. Although he is in Yimen, he is a heroic hero and knows everything about Daliang. I invite you to Hou Ying and you will be born."

Huang Xie said: "How can Ju be born?"

Mr. Cheyou said: "Sui carefully examined his death and put a basket in the toilet. After a while, the guards asked him to abandon the dead man in the basket, and Sui came out. Zheng Anping, a man from the Wei Dynasty, took Sui's death and hid him at home. Danyan, an old minister from his hometown,

It has been several years since I came here to seek treatment for the poor and sick!"

Huang Xie said: "Is Prime Minister Wei asking for it?"

Mr. Cheyou said: "The Prime Minister of Wei may ask for it. It is the time for the king to die, so he died."

Huang Xie said: "Isn't it true that Xiangdu doesn't care about his family?"

Mr. Cheyou said: "Ju, a native of Guweicheng, his home is thousands of miles away from Daliang. He can't find Ju, and the Prime Minister of Wei is no better."

Huang Xie said: "So where is Wei now?"

Mr. Cheyou said: "The place where the ancestors of Wei first enfeoffed was in the east of today's Hedong. In the past, the Marquis of Jin served as the second army, with Zhao Su in charge of the Rong, and Bi Wan as the right, to destroy Geng, Huo, and Wei. Geng was granted the title of Zhao Su.

Wei appointed Bi Wan as a great official. Bu Yan gave his prediction and said: After Bi Wan, he will be great! Ten thousand means a full number; Wei means a great name. The princes and people are destined to be great now, so if Cong full number is reached, they will surely

There is a crowd."

Huang Xie said: "Sir, he is knowledgeable and would like to be taught."

Huang Xie actually wanted to ask about the details of the Battle of Huayang, but he was worried that it would expose everyone's scars, so he resisted asking. He just asked without saying anything: "Sir, since you know Fan Juxian, I should recommend him to Mr. Mang."

."

Mr. Che You said: "First of all, I surrendered to Mang Gong, but Ju Yi Mang Gong was not from Wei. His foundation was shallow and it was difficult to achieve great things. If he wanted to serve the king of Wei, he had to do things that Dr. Jia thought was the basis for his promotion. However, he ordered Jian.

What a slap to death."

Huang Xie said: "Is Dr. Jia intolerant? Is Prime Minister Wei intolerant? Why do you want to harm Ju's life by giving them all at once?"

Mr. Che You said: "Ju has a talent for eloquence and can speak like a river. When he talks freely, he may make mistakes and be frustrated by the officials and ministers. However, the matter involves state relations, and no one other than him knows the details! I ask Hou Yingzhi to help me.

Also, if you look after each other secretly, you will be safe."

Huang Xie said: "Mr. Bao Ju, does Mr. Mang know about it? "

Mr. Cheyou said: "I dare to betray Duke Mang. But the matter involves the Prime Minister of Wei, and none of the Mang masters know about it. Master Shen is going to serve Huang Gong, so Mang Gong ordered me to ask Fan Ju to help Huang Gong."

Huang Xie stood in his seat and said politely: "I deeply feel the righteousness of Mang Gong and the help of Mr. Mang. Now that I have entered the Qin Dynasty, if I can succeed, it is all thanks to Mang Gong."

Mang Shen bowed down and said, "My father ordered Shen to pay homage to Huang Gong again, but Huang Gong had the urge to do so and did not dare to resign."

Huang Xie said: "When we enter the Qin Dynasty, we don't dare to follow his words or judge his affairs. We can only act with the camera. Now with the help of the young master and the master, the matter will be done."

After a night's rest, Mang Shen, Che You, and Hu Zhong regained their energy. The merchants were out buying or selling, and there were still two days left. Huang Xie didn't care about these trivial matters, just waiting with Mang Shen in the hall.

The three of them chatted. From time to time, they inquired about some substantive content. The three of them did not know whether they didn't feel it or they did not want to hide it, but they all spoke frankly.

On the scheduled day of departure, it rained lightly. Huang Xie was unwilling to change his plan and decided to brave the rain. Wancheng ordered a group of Qin soldiers to escort and monitor them to Luyi.

Lu Yi is the former Lu State, and was once the Lu County of the Chu State. When Huang Xie and others arrived, they saw an incredible scene: Qin soldiers were handing over to soldiers who were obviously wearing Korean clothes.

Huang Xie arrived at Yi Ling's mansion, checked the festival talisman, and confirmed that Yi Ling was indeed from Qin. After settling down in Guanyi, he walked around and found that the residents here were dressed in Korean clothes, some in Chu clothes, and some in Qin clothes.

They all live together in clans and do not mix with each other. Suddenly, so many people wearing Chu clothes came to the town. Those old Chu people took the initiative to come up to greet them and felt very cordial. Huang Xie and others also responded one by one, camera

Inquire about some local conditions. It turns out that a month ago, South Korea transferred Lu Yi to the Qin State. However, the soldiers in Lu Yi were all local sons and it was impossible to leave and directly become Qin soldiers. These soldiers used to wear Korean clothes and became Qin soldiers.

After Qin Bing, he couldn't change his clothes for a while, so he still wore Korean clothes. Seeing that South Korea peacefully handed over such a huge city to Qin, Huang Xie felt uneasy in his heart: It seems that he wants to negotiate peace with Qin, and the price is small.

No!

After setting off the next day, the rain stopped. Lu Yi also sent a team of more than ten people to escort the caravan across several rivers and entered the mountains. At the entrance of the mountain, there was a small border town called Xiyi.

.This was once a battlefield between Qin and Chu, but since the battle of Lantian, there have been no weapons here for a long time, and all the people in the city are Qin people.

After sending the caravan here, Lu Yi's soldiers returned. The caravan rested for the night and entered the mountains. It turned into a valley, where was Danxi, the birthplace of Chu. Without the interference of the Qin people, Huang Xie took

Several people paid homage to the ancestors of the King of Chu. There were many cities in the Danxi land, but because the Qin people despised merchants, almost no merchants passed through this road. When the people saw such a huge caravan, they began to think it was a thief somewhere, and they rang the police everywhere.

Fortunately, this is the hometown of the Chu State, and everyone can still communicate and discuss. After Huang Xie explained that he was the prince of Chu and showed the emblem of the Chu royal family, the people of the city opened the city gate. The caravan chose one of the larger ones to live in.

.Although this city is relatively large in the surrounding areas, the conditions for traveling against the city are much worse than those in the plains. Not only are the buildings low and damp, they also leak wind from all sides and the roof leaks; the food is not comprehensive, and other services are even worse.

It was out of the question. The businessmen and family members had no choice but to take matters into their own hands, purchasing grain and condiments, and lighting fires to cook.

In the next few days, everyone walked in the mountains, which consumed a lot of physical energy. They walked not far every day. When they saw a larger city, they contacted them to stay. Convenience, inconvenience, and attentive service were not considered.

After a few days like this, everyone entered the Danshui Valley, and the Wuguan Pass built on the mountain was clearly in sight.

Although the land along the way is the land of Qin, only when you enter Wuguan can you truly enter the land of Qin. Before, you could only count it as the Chu land of Qin. After the Qin people occupied the Chu land, they generally followed the customs of the Chu land.

The characteristics of the country were not obvious yet, so the journey was finally smooth. After seeing Wuguan in the distance, everyone became really nervous.

The commercial activities of the Qin people were relatively underdeveloped. In addition to the impact of Shang Yang's reforms, the terrain of Qin's four fortresses also hindered its communication with the outside world. The caravan of 500 people led by Huang Xie drove 50

Cars, whether they are leather carts or baggage carts, suffer heavy losses when bumpy on mountain roads. The goods on the cart must be shock-proof, such as pottery and jewelry, which are difficult to transport. It is also very inconvenient to transport liquid goods that need to be canned.

, and the losses along the way were huge. The merchants were originally very motivated 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 the defense center of the Danshui Valley. It is stationed with a large number of Qin troops and has complete administrative agencies. The Danshui Valley is historically known as the "Land of Shang Yu". Although the land of Shang Yu is

It is an important transportation thoroughfare, but the farming conditions are not very good. The fields are mainly distributed on the hillside. Farming and soil and water conservation are very inconvenient. There are not many villages and the population is not prosperous.
