One hundred members of the Wei delegation were collectively arranged in a post. The post was equipped with firewood and rice, but they only needed to make fires for cooking. The horses and carts brought by the Wei people were all left in Hangu, and the horses and carts provided by the Qin people were left in Hangu.

It was parked in the post house and was managed by the Wei people. The gift list had already been checked in Hangu. In the court, only the gift list was needed to complete the gift, which saved a lot of trouble and hard work.

Dianke settled down with the envoy and went back by himself, leaving only some passers-by to discuss the visit procedures with the envoy: who the envoy was going to visit, what requirements it had, etc. Duan Zigan was very surprised, because it was the custom of various countries that when envoys were on a mission,

, In addition to the monarch, which doctor or minister you want to visit depends entirely on each person's connections; if everything can be arranged by pedestrians, how difficult will it be to complete the mission? Duan Ziqian even thought that the Qin people did not intend to do anything to him.

Discount! Faced with the big pie falling from the sky, Duan Ziqian did not hesitate to ask to see Ranghou, Huayang Lord, Jingyang Lord and Gaoling Lord. The pedestrians kindly reminded him that there is currently An Guojun among the lords. Duan Ziqian

He also immediately asked to see Lord An Guo. He also asked to see Lord Wu An and guest Qing Zhang Lu. The passerby told him that Lord Wu An was currently serving as the governor of Shangjun and Zhang Qing was currently serving as governor of Hedong. They were both in office and it was inconvenient to return to Xianyang and could not arrange an interview. Duan Ziqian listened.

When Zhang Lu was said to be the governor of Hedong, he immediately remembered that Zhang Lu was from the Wei state. No wonder Hedong was very precise and ruthless in his attacks on the Wei state. But then he thought about whether it was possible to find his relatives and friends and use them... Finally, he asked to see the Queen Mother.

After receiving Duan Ziqian's request, the traveler returned to Dianke's mansion and reported the itinerary to Dianke. Dianke reported it to Marquis Rang. Marquis Rang took a look at it and said: "Duan Ziqian has a false reputation, or he may be eloquent, but he is not a messenger.

"

Dian Ke agreed and said: "There are many people with whom I have met, but the name and title is my business, not this person."

Marquis Rang said: "It's as good as you want."

The first person to arrange an interview was the old Huayang Jun. Pedestrians said that Huayang Jun had been neglecting his affairs for many days. Now that he heard that the Wei envoy was coming to court, he made an exception to meet him. Duan Ziqian then took three or five followers and rushed to Huayang by car.

Jun's Mansion.

Huayang Jun's Mansion is located on the north bank of the Weishui River, not far from Wangyi Palace. Duan Ziqian and the others, led by pedestrians, drove for an hour before arriving. Mi Rong's tomb master greeted him outside the door, saying that Huayang Jun was weak and could not survive.

When they came out to welcome them, Zhongzai bowed Duan Ziqian and his entourage to the front of the hall, and Mi Rong greeted them in front of the steps. After bowing to each other, Duan Ziqian went up to the hall. There was no singing, dancing, drumming or music in the front yard of the hall, so it seemed like it was going to be a serious conversation.

Duan Ziqian first served Huayang Junshou. Mi Rong said calmly: "I am seventy years old, there is something strange, which is rare in ancient times. When you are young, you are not a younger brother, when you are old, you have nothing to say, and when you are old, you are a thief. This is what I call you."

also."

Duan Ziqian said: "Huayang Jun's achievements are unparalleled and he is respected by the world. His views on the mountains are a model for the world."

Mi Rong said: "What merits do I have? I just help the king manage the civil affairs."

Duan Ziqian said: "When the Qin army came out, there was no shortage of food and fodder, and the soldiers and armor were well equipped. This is all due to the king."

Mi Rong said: "Qin has its own laws, but the ministers only have the appearance. Others can also do it."

Duan Ziqian said: "I am a minister of Wei, and I also know how to handle civil affairs. It is not as good as the king's words. I work hard and work hard, but I can't say enough."

Mi Rong said: "The Qin Dynasty has not been able to use its swords and soldiers for many years. The ministers are old and sick and cannot be used."

Duan Ziqian said: "Although Qin did not use swords and soldiers, but it captured the two cities of Wei, you have nothing to do with it."

Mi Rong was surprised and said: "Why are there two cities?"

Duan Ziqian said: "The Qin soldiers captured the two cities of Wei Yuan and Zhi without any bloodshed. You haven't heard of it yet?"

Mi Rong seemed to have just come back to his senses and said, "This is just kidding!"

Duan Ziqian said: "What's the point of attacking a city and seizing territory?"

Mi Rong said: "Both the Yuan and the Zhi are bad at keeping orders. The children are responsible for the administration. The merchants and travelers are not disturbed, the officials are not easy to deal with, and the people are all in the business. But it is easy to keep the orders. Is there any point in attacking the city and seizing the land?"

Duan Ziqian said: "The government is returned to Qin, and Wei's orders are blocked. What else can we do but withdraw?"

Mi Rong said: "Isn't your arsenal also built on a wall? His orders have been communicated for a long time, which is no different from the story!"

Duan Ziqian said: "My arsenal was built to defend the border, but now it has been captured by Qin. What can I do?"

Mi Rong said: "The wall is close to Hedong. Hedong is the land of Qin, so it cannot be a border. Do you want to reject Qin? The arsenal is gradually filling up, and you want to use it in other places. There is nothing wrong with sending envoys to collect it. - I heard

But I got more than a hundred iron arrowheads, which is not enough."

Duan Ziqian said: "I know how to use iron and steel arrowheads, and if I offer them to the king, I will gain the master's arsenal. Now it is captured by Qin, and I will have no land in Wei. I would like to return the two cities to it, as a favor to you."

Mi Rong said: "As you know, I haven't experienced military affairs for a long time. I heard that the one who captured the land of Wei is from the east of the river, which is beyond my reach."

Duan Ziqian said: "But I am very lucky to have your Majesty's words!"

After hearing this, Mi Rong laughed out loud and said: "What do you mean by what I said? He Dongning would like to ask me for this? Zhang Lu's children originally started from me, but now they are proud of themselves."

There is not a word to say to the king...what should I say?"

When Duan Ziqian heard this, he secretly rejoiced: He finally discovered that Zhang Lu, who came from Wei, actually had many enemies in the court. If...

But he had no time to think about it at this time and could only continue the conversation on the current topic.

Duan Ziqian said: "It is unbearable for you to be looked down upon by your children. But with one word, both Zhi and Yuan returned to Wei. Not only did Wei appreciate the virtue of the king, but Zhang Lu's achievements were also in vain. Isn't it wonderful?"

"

Mi Rong laughed "hehe" again and asked: "Why should I order Hedong to return to Yuan and Zhi to Wei?"

Duanzi said: "The prince is in Liang, isn't that right?"

Mi Rong's heart was shocked, and he stopped his smiling face and said: "Is General Wei not good for the Crown Prince?"

Duan Ziqian laughed and said: "How dare you! The prince is in Liang, and he is the same as Qin. Who can harm him? I can only use it as a warning!"

Mi Rong said very seriously: "I hope Wei will not hurt the prince, Qin will definitely attack him!"

Duan Ziqian said: "It's not what he wants, it's not what he wants. But I thought he was speechless!"

Mi Rong stared at Duan Ziqian for a long time and said: "I hope it will be true as Duan Zi said. Otherwise, the world will be in chaos!"

Duan Ziqian said: "Yuan and Zhi are the great cities of Wei, and the king loves them very much. I hope that the great country will return to it, and you will help it!"

Mi Rong said: "I am a minister of Qin. Even if you can't conquer the city and seize the land, how can you dare to sacrifice the city without fighting?"

Duan Ziqian said: "You have done a lot of merit for Qin. When you attacked the city and seized the land for Qin, Zhang Zi was still breast-fed. Now that the merit is above you, do you agree with him?"

Mi Rong said: "Although I am unwilling to accept it, what can I do?"

Duan Ziqian said: "If the east of the river is returned to Wei Zhi and Yuan, why will you order your ministers?"

Mi Rong said: "Jiang and Xintian are the land of Jin. Han will occupy it. If Qin takes it and goes east of Guanghe River, Qin will conquer Wei and return to its old city."

Duan Ziqian said: "Jiang and Xintian, so Han Pingyang's old land, the ancestral hall is there, how can it be abandoned."

Mi Rong said: "Pingyang is to Han as Wei is to Anyi. Wei offers Anyi and Han offers Pingyang. Isn't that the same?"

Duan Ziqian said: "I don't dare to hear it."

After finding out each other, the two parties chatted for a few more words, and Duan Zigan resigned. The passerby told him that Marquis Rang would entertain the Wei envoys at a banquet and made a special trip to greet them. Duan Ziqian thanked each other and bid farewell to the passerby.

Compared with meeting Huayang Jun, meeting Ranghou was more important. Duan Ziqian thought about the whole set of rhetoric and thought it still had some explanatory power. He rested for a while, performed the ceremony with everyone, and the travelers arrived. All the members of the envoy set off.

, go to Ranghou Mansion.

Ranghou held a banquet at his home, and the population of Ranghou's home was sparse, so it was impossible to host any banquet, let alone a large banquet involving hundreds of people. The King of Qin specially ordered the young master to fully assist and mobilize forces from the Qin Palace to prepare the banquet. The young master was in charge of the palace.

All officials, cooks, music houses, clothing, and even mountains and rivers are responsible for them. It is almost effortless for the young master to organize a banquet.

When Duan Ziqian arrived at Ranghou Mansion, although it was only in the afternoon, because it was late winter, it was already dark, but Ranghou Mansion was brightly lit. Ranghou personally led a group of retainers and passers-by to greet him at the door, and even specially invited

The Prince of Chu and Huang Xie accompanied each other.

When Duan Ziqian got off the car a hundred steps away, elegant music sounded inside the mansion gate. This time there was no deafening drum music, only silk, bamboo and gold and stone. The song was the plaintive "Xiaowan": "The birds sing doves, and the birds fly violently to the sky.

.My heart is sad, thinking about my ancestors. I am sleepless and pregnant with two people..."

Duan Ziqian led all the members of the envoy to meet Ranghou and the Prince of Chu in a very formal manner. According to Zhou etiquette, Ranghou and the Prince of Chu bowed three times and gave way three times. They climbed the steps from east to west and entered the door. There was music and dancing in front of the atrium of the door.

Three large cauldrons were cooking three animals, and the backyard was steaming with steam. Apparently there was other food.

Amidst the singing and dancing of the birds, two groups of people walked through the courtyard and walked up to the hall. Marquis Rang sat in the east with Prince Chu and Huang Xie. Duan Ziqian brought two senior attendants, Xixi. The rest of the entourage were accompanied by passers-by, walking in the corridor or even on the steps.

Take your seat.

Amidst the singing, dancing and music, the guests and hosts exchanged greetings frequently and talked to each other about the deep friendship and lasting friendship. They only ate until the moon rose to the east.

Marquis Rang invited Duan Zigan into his Nuan Pavilion, and the two began a formal conversation.

Duan Ziqian said: "Marquis Rang entered the Qin Dynasty as the Queen Mother, served the two kings, made great achievements, granted the title of marquis and worshiped the prime minister, and his position as a minister has reached its peak. When I hear that things are at their peak, I will rebel. I am afraid that this will change in an instant. Now there is Zhang Zi

, this bitch of Daliang, attached to the tail of a nobleman, was able to ascend to the sky, command the east of the river, and conquer the two cities of Wei without a bloody blow. He has no great achievements, and he is a so-called good fighter. This unparalleled great achievement, if the Marquis Rang does not reward it, then it will be useless

What is the law of Qin? If Marquis Rang rewards him, then the merit is not inferior to Marquis Rang. Is Marquis Rang living under others? The reason for Wei's collapse today is actually due to Huayang. If the river flows eastward to Zhi and enters Nanyang, Wei cannot resist and will surely enter.

If Zhang Zi's merits are still greater than those of others. If Marquis Rang returns to Wei, then Zhang Zi's merits will be insignificant and Nanyang will not be lost. However, Wei's deeds of Ranghou will not be limited to Tao's benefit."

Marquis Rang squinted his mocking eyes at Duan Ziqian, waited quietly for him to finish, and then said: "I regard Duan Zi as a master, and he must have a great talk to teach me. Now that I hear this talk, I am deeply disappointed. If you don't

Although the concept of defeating someone in battle is the same as that of attacking, it does not have a head. Without a leader, there is no merit. How can you forget the joke? Although the prisoner can save his head, the officials have no merit, so Zhang Zi has a complaint.
