After hearing Mr. Zhongyue's explanation, Lord Xinling was in awe and said, "How can I know what Mr. Wei taught me?"

The guests in the seat still didn't understand, so Zhang He explained: "For the former, we discussed, but the words were with the King of Han, 'The King of Wei granted me the title of governor', and the King of Han responded, it was forced. Now, Huang Gongjiao said

To the King of Han, he said, "The King of Wei granted me the title of governor, and I will offer it to Han." Han did not accept it, so he gave it to him. Yi was forced to give it to him, and the King of Han's spirit became calm, and we became closer to each other. "

A guest asked: "Would you rather be a superior than a subordinate?"

Lord Xinling said: "Although the King of Han is an old brother and an allied king, it is not appropriate for a minister to be his subordinate! This is not to be submissive to others."

All the hangers-on and Mr. Xinling had nothing to do with each other until they talked about dinner.

On the first day of August, it was raining lightly. People attending the funeral of King Han from various countries gathered at the palace from various cities. From the north gate of Zhengcheng to King Han’s palace, awnings were set up along the way; the temporary awnings were still dripping with water.

The water was not much better than outside. However, compared to autumn, the light rain was more acceptable. People attending the funeral were generally satisfied with the weather and considered it a blessing from God.

Among the five countries that came, four stayed in the city in the north of the city, which was the correct way for the funeral of King Han. Only the city of Chu stayed in the south of the city, so they had to take a boat to the north of the city. Huang Xie took all the Chu soldiers and followers with him.

, more than a thousand people, divided into more than 20 ships, sailed up the Qin River. It was a light rain in autumn and the weather was pleasant. The prince and Huang Xie simply did not wear court clothes and only wore flax; the rest of the entourage were all in white clothes with their left sides exposed; Chu

The soldier wore armor all over his body, with only a piece of white cloth covering the armor.

The ship docked on the north bank of the city. A Korean envoy had already come to guide the Chu soldiers in their formation, and another Korean envoy led the prince and Huang Xie to the palace. The entourage was arranged to wait in the awning, and only two of them were allowed to enter the palace.

Attendant.

Chu had a long way to go and came last. When all the envoys arrived, Prime Minister Han led them to the ancestral temple to pay homage to King Han. Korean ministers were already waiting inside and outside the ancestral temple. Each envoy went to the temple and expressed their king's condolences to King Han one by one, and

Each person presented the gift. Each person only had a few official sentences, and the King of Han responded respectfully. The gift had already been clearly communicated to Yousi before entering Zheng. Now it was just a formality to present the gift list.

Afterwards, the King of Han was at the top, the envoys were in the west, and numerous leading ministers were in the east. They performed the sacrificial ceremony according to Han Ping's singing ceremony. Drums and music played in unison outside the hall, and mourning was heard everywhere. Eight selected descendants of the King of Han carried the

As the coffin was raised, mourning began again inside and outside the ancestral temple. The Han clans opened the way, and the King of Han walked in front of the coffin. Envoys from various countries and Korean officials (in fact, most of them were also Han clan) lined up on both sides of the coffin, and the ministers knelt down outside the temple.

He was carried all the way out of the palace and onto the hearse.

The ceremonial gate of the ancestral temple was opened wide, and the hearse drove out slowly. The streets in the city of Zheng had already been cleared, and no one was waiting. After sending the hearse out of the city, the envoys from various countries immediately returned to their military formations. Before and after the coffin of King Han,

Each was guarded by five thousand Korean soldiers. Behind them were the funeral processions from various countries. Wei and Zhao were brothers of Han, on the left. In addition to Wei bringing a thousand soldiers, Lord Xinling also brought a thousand guests.

, this alleviated the embarrassment of Zhao's lack of soldiers to a certain extent - perhaps the result of coordination between Han and Wei. Qin, Qi, and Chu totaled 2,500 people, listed on the right. South Korea prepared three military formations for each country.

The leather chariots were ridden by the chief and deputy envoys of each country, as well as the highest commander of the army. The drivers were all Koreans.

When the military formations of various countries began to move on, the Korean army's vanguard had passed through the pontoon bridge erected overnight on the Mishui River ten miles away, crossed to the west bank of Mishui, and entered a low mountain area. After the Korean army's rearguard crossed the river, there was a golden roar from the troops of various countries.

, the troops stopped in front of the pontoon bridge: the river boundary is equivalent to the Yin and Yang boundary, and the funeral guests stopped here. After the armies of various countries watched the Korean defenders enter the mountains according to etiquette, they were led by the Korean envoys in their cars, and each returned to the city. The Han envoys

The king thanked him again and again and left. The Chu army was special and only sent them to the ship before saying goodbye to the Han envoy.

After boarding the boat, the prince and Huang Xie changed out of their rain-soaked linen and put on their light Ge clothes. They stood on the bow of the boat, facing the drizzle, and took the boat back down the river.

When they returned to the city, the retainers who stayed behind reported: "Master Shen and his party have arrived!"

Huang Xie was startled, but then he felt that the timing they had seized was very clever: South Korea's attention was all on the north city. Relatively speaking, if there was no big trouble in the south of the city, ordinary activities would not attract attention.

Huang Xie said, "Young Master, I'll pay you a visit soon." He sent the prince into the room, settled down, let the prince drink scented tea, and let him take a lunch break. Then he came out and was led by the retainer to the room of the three Mang clans.

Huang Xie arrived at the door of the room and knocked on the door to announce. Mang Shen and others immediately welcomed him out and went down the steps to worship. Huang Xie also went down the steps to return the greeting and said: "Master Shen, there are many people in the audience!"

Mang Shen said: "My father ordered me to serve Huang Gong as a king and a minister, so I dare not disobey him."

The three of them entered the room. Huang Xie said: "Those who dare to urgently invite Mr. Shen and Mr. Shen, in order to obtain the king's order, will serve as hostages for the Qin Dynasty."

All three of them had followed Huang Xie to the state of Qin, so they naturally knew about the diplomatic alliance held a month ago, in which Qin and Chu formed an alliance and took the prince of Chu as a hostage. But when Huang Xie met Zhang Lu on the bank of Jishui River, he only said:

When he went to Korea to assist the funeral, he did not say that after the funeral, he would send the prince to Qin. Mr. Che You asked in surprise: "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Huang Xie said: "I am afraid that the attack on Chu will be carried out, so I have to rush to do it."

Mang Shen said: "Huang Gong entered Qin, so why not make an alliance? How can we attack Chu?"

Huang Xie said: "The prince has not entered, the alliance has not been fulfilled, and there are politicians who want to defeat the alliance."

Mang Shen said: "Is the government of Qin also in conflict?"

Huang Xie said: "It is normal for political affairs to be at odds with each other. In diplomacy with other countries, some people want peace or want war; they may make war first and then make peace, or they may make peace first and then go to war. This is true for all countries, and there is no difference. When I look at Hu Yang,

It starts at the end of the day, erupts like thunder, and the energy is suppressed for a long time and cannot be extended. Once it is extended, you will definitely want to fight. Now I am sent to Korea with Lord Jingyang, so we must be on guard against it."

Mr. Hu Zhong said: "What Huang Gong said is true. If you don't rely on him, you can't attack, and if you rely on me, you can't attack. Now that Huang Gong has made the prince hostage to Qin, Qin will no longer discuss attacking Chu and eat his words."

Huang Xie said: "How is Mr. Fan doing?"

Mr. Che You said: "Fan is a talented person of Wang Zuo. Although he is good at Huang Gong, he is not his master."

Huang Xie was silent for half a minute and said: "The King of Qin is the hero of the world. With Fan's help, he will definitely achieve great achievements!"

Mr. Cheyou said: "No! Fan is a truly wise man. If he helps Qin, he may be in danger."

Huang Xie said: "The Fan family's plan is consistent with mine. Even if it involves Qin, it will be harmless."

Mr. Cheyou asked: "How about the plan?"

Huang Xie pondered and said: "Sir, I heard that Prime Minister Wei is very anxious to ask for Fan's family. Is that true?"

Mr. Cheyou said: "Of course."

Huang Xie said: "Sir, a secret messenger spread the word in the market that Fan Ju and Huang Gong were seen at the bank of Wei River. Is this acceptable?"

Mr. Cheyou said: "This is an easy thing to do, but it is wonderful! I would like to hear the next one."

Huang Xie said: "That's it for now, there is nothing else. In a few months, Qin will definitely entrust Wei to Wei. Fan's great talent will definitely come out; if he can't come out, it is not his talent."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Cheyou changed his expression and said, "I would like to take the lead. I would like to stay here to help him."

Huang Xie said: "If Mr. Fan knew that Mr. Fan was here, he would have known that it was not appropriate for him to sell to him." The expressions of the three of them changed, they were speechless and could not say anything. They were living alone, without any external assistance.

, it is absolutely impossible to run from Wei to Qin; and this is Huang Xie's minimum standard for employing people! "If he can't work, it's not his talent"! It's like a whip hitting the faces of three people...

As expected, Mr. Che You only went out for half a day and then came back. When Mr. Che You went out to do business, the Prince of Chu Fu, the Prince's Chancellor, two attendants, two guards, and two cooks, a total of eight people, escorted Qin with a gift.

The Queen Mother's gifts and the Prince's daily necessities arrived by boat. Huang Xie immediately sent his retainers to visit Jingyang Jun, saying that the Prince was ready and could enter Qin at any time, and asked for a date to move into the Qin camp.

Lord Jingyang was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately ordered two rooms to be vacated for the Prince of Chu and his entourage to live in. He also made an appointment to move tomorrow.

Huang Xie did not dare to neglect, and immediately arranged the relevant matters. Thousands of Chu soldiers returned in the original boat. Only two of Huang Xie's retainers were left; the three Mang family members were still the sons of Shen and their two servants, and accompanied them in the name of Huang Xie's concubine.

.Prince Guotong, a total of fifteen people, is the entire team that entered Xianyang.

Huang Xie heard from Lord Jingyang that the best way to bring gifts to the Qin Dynasty was to pick them up, so he chose thirty-five loyal and brave Chu soldiers.

, and went with the team. They also bought a leather chariot and an An chariot in Zhengcheng for the prince's use, but only two horses were used.

He didn't sleep all night. The next day, the prince and Huang Xie saw off the Chu soldiers and members of the envoy. The remaining fifty people were ready. The prince got into the car, the prince Fu was the chariot, and the prince's prime minister was on the right side of the car, and drove forward.

Huang Xie led An Che and followed behind. Mang Shen took the pseudonym Shen Gongzi and accompanied him in the name of his concubine. The other members were scattered around. Only the three people in the car did not carry their luggage, and the rest, including Huang Xie, carried their own bags.

Carrying their own luggage. The formation of thirty porters was the largest, walking at the back. The porters were taken care of by three young masters, and the people in the Prince's Mansion were taken care of by Huang Xie's retainers.

Instead of taking another boat, the group entered the city gate in a mighty manner, passed through the city, went out of the north gate, and arrived at the city where the Qin people were staying.

The announcement came in, and the call was "Please". The group of people followed a public official into the city and entered the mansion. Jingyang Jun and Hu Yang came out to welcome the prince and his entourage, and frowned and said, "What can you do about such a person?"

Huang Xie reported: "There are eight people in the prince's residence, five people from the left disciple, including the prince and the left disciple, a total of fifteen people. In addition, under the order of Lord Jingyang, there are thirty-five porters, totaling fifty people."

Hu Yang said: "In a city with a hundred households, if Zuo Tu enters fifty people, where can the people of Qin live?"

When Huang Xie heard this, he knew something was wrong and said, "I don't dare to disturb Qin, but I can live under the eaves."

Hu Yang said: "Qin Law, the person who takes the hostage is sent six people. The rest don't dare to ask."
