Erguang spoke furiously until it was almost over. He realized that he was boasting to the common people in the restaurant in Xianyang. He was not the Hu Benlang next to the mighty King of Western Chu. He felt a little lost for a moment. Fortunately, Xiang Yu was also fascinated and did not notice his disobedience. The two of them didn't speak, thinking about their own thoughts, and the room was quiet. There was no sound at all, only the rustling sound of Xiang Yu rubbing the hilt of his sword.

Xiang Yu came to his senses for a while, staring at the ball of paper on the desk, silent. Zhou Yu licked his lips nervously, and glanced at Xiang Yu timidly, not knowing whether to stay here or withdraw. Just when he was in a dilemma, there were footsteps outside the door. Ji Bu walked in with his sword, looked at Zhou Yu contemptuously, and leaned into Xiang Yu's ear and said, "King, Yafu is awake."

"Oh, Xiang Yu was stunned for a moment, took back his legs on the table, sat down again, tidied up his clothes, and asked with concern: "How is it, is Yafu more energetic?"

Ji Bu hesitated a little and was silent for a moment before saying, "The spirit is very bad."

Xiang Yu's sword eyebrows raised and he sighed silently. Fan Zeng has always regarded himself very well. The reason why he is so prestigious among his subordinates is that Xiang Yu respects him, and on the other hand, it is because he is indeed very intelligent. Others all submit to him. But today he has found that he has been used by Gongwei from beginning to end, so he will definitely feel uncomfortable.

"I went to see him, Xiang Yu stood up. Just as he was about to leave, Ji Bu pointed at Zhou Yu and said, "Father Ya wants to see him, let me take him over.

Xiang Yu was a little surprised. He turned his head and looked at Ji Bu. He looked at Zhou Yu again: "Want to see him? Isn't you going to see me?"

Ji Bu smiled awkwardly: "Everyone wants to meet, but you have to see him first.

Xiang Yu rolled his eyes, grinned, smiled silently, waved his hand at Zhou Yu, and signaled him to follow Ji Bu. He sat down again, unfolded the bamboo paper and looked carefully. The bamboo paper was covered with Fan Zeng's blood, and the handwriting became blurred. Xiang Yu carefully argued, and suddenly felt something was wrong. He put down the paper and thought about it. A sense of imperceptible anger appeared from his eyebrows.

The tone between the lines of Gongwei's letter was towards Fan Zeng, but Xiang Yu, the overlord, was not mentioned at all. Does he have no brother in his eyes, or does he have only Fan Zeng in his eyes? Xiang Yu.com felt something was wrong when he thought of this idea. He shook his head hard and wanted to throw out the idea, but this idea seemed to have a root and could no longer be shaken off.

Fan Zeng leaned against the couch, his face pale. He looked at Zhou Yu who was kneeling in front of him, gasped for a long time before speaking: "Tell me about Xi Chu, and start from his ascension to the throne. Nothing can be missed. The more detailed the speech, the better.

Zhou Yu nodded and told him softly. From the time when Gongwei ascended the throne, was appointed as a marquis and generals, modified the official system, founded the Western Chu Taixue, and conflicts with Kong Fu and others, until Zhang Liang and Lu Chen entered the pass. Gongwei went west to the end until he forced Sima Xin's brothers to surrender. In detail, whether he saw, heard, or guessed, he told Fan Zeng.

Fan Zeng listened quietly and said nothing. It was not until Zhou Yu finished speaking that he slowly spoke: "Who did Zhang Liang lead in Shu? How many soldiers did he and Gongwei say something?" Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment, searching his memory nervously, and suddenly he found that when Zhang Liang entered Guanwei and met Gongwei, he happened to be on duty.

"Isn't it on duty?" Fan Zeng's white eyebrows shook, and then he felt relieved again. Hu Benlang took a day off every five days. It was normal for him to take a break. He asked again: "What is the reason why Emperor Yi Gui Yu and Xiong Ying went to the palace to make noise?

Zhou Yu was silent for a long time before shook his head: "I don't know."

“Not worth it yet?”

"No, I was on duty, but later, "Later, Lord Yu" Lord Yu sent me to do business

Fan Zeng glanced at Zhou Yu unhappily, sat up from the couch, took a breath, and asked again: "What did Maodun and Gongwei say?"

Zhou Yu's sweat rolled down from his forehead one by one. Although he didn't say anything, Fan Zeng knew that he must not know. Anger surged from his chest, Fan Zeng felt his chest tightening and his throat was a little sweet. He coughed twice, and Ying Bu, who was standing beside him, saw it, hurried over to support him, put his palm on his back, and patted him gently. Fan Zeng slowly calmed down, and he also understood that since Gongqun had known that Zhou Yu was a spy, of course, he would not let Zhou Yu know the secrets. He waved helplessly, preparing to let Zhou Yu go out. When Zhou Yu walked to the door, Fan Zeng remembered something again and quickly called him.

"Cao Ping has any position?"

"Chen    Ping? Zhou Yu turned his eyes and suddenly found out in surprise that he seemed to have been unable to remember Chen Ping for a long time. He only knew that when Guanzhong was granted a marquis and a general. Chen Ping was a marquis of Tao, with a 800 households and an official position as a censor. But since the ceremony of ascension, he has disappeared.

"Absent?" Fan Zeng took a deep breath. Chen Ping was the darkest hand of Gongwei. This person had little effect in the light, but in the dark. It made people worry and worry. Now that he was missing, Fan Zeng immediately felt a strong uneasiness. He felt the vest was cold and subconsciously looked around, especially in the dark place, as if Chen Ping was hiding there.

"Who is in control of the original black ice platform of the Qin Dynasty now? Fan Zeng stroked his heart for a long time and finally calmed down a little. He turned his head and stared at Zhou Yu fiercely. It seemed that he would say something no, and he would immediately take his life.

"First it was controlled by Zuo Yin Gongziying, and later it was handed over to the Censor's Office, and it seemed that Chen Hui was in charge." Zhou Yu was sweating profusely.

"Chen Hui? Is that Huan Fu's disciple?"

"Yes, Zhou Yu thought about it and said with certainty: "Since he was involved in secret affairs, he had been engaged in secret affairs. He was responsible for the contact with Chen Ping of Xianyang at the beginning.

"Oh." Fan Zeng let out a long breath, leaned on the couch weakly, and waved his hand: "You go out, go out

.No, Zhou Yu also breathed a sigh of relief and left the door. Just as he was about to turn around, he saw a tall figure. When he looked up, Xiang Yu stood in front of him. Just as he was about to speak, Xiang Yu raised a finger to signal him to silence, then waved his hand to signal him to leave quickly. Zhou Yu did not dare to say more. He quickly retreated gently.

"Aji, come on." Fan Zeng called in the room. Xiang Yu was stunned for a moment, hesitated and entered the door, and smiled with a slight slight smile: "Father Ya, are you better?"

"Thanks to the care of the king, I can't die for the time being." Le Zeng stared at the set of glass cups on the desk and murmured. As soon as he saw this cup, he felt his face burning. At the end of the letter, Gong Wei said that Zhu Yafu's heart was as good as glass and long as Nanshan. This was clearly a joke. The light reflected by the cup under the light was like Gong Wei's cunning eyes. How could it make people angry no matter how you look at it? If Fan Zeng hadn't been able to get up by himself, he would really want to smash the cup.

Xiang Yu followed Fan Zeng's gaze and saw the set of cups. He wanted to say something, but he swallowed the words back.

"Aji, do you know why he gave me this set of glass cups?" Fan Zeng retreated his gaze and asked calmly.

"He respects Yafu. When he has good things, of course he must first respect Yafu." Xiang Yu couldn't tell whether it was the truth or the angry words. Gongwei only gave Fan Zeng a set of such a good thing, but he didn't give him it, which made him a little disappointed. According to Zhou Yu, this kind of glass cup is now the most valuable wine utensil in Xianyang. People who can own it are either rich or noble. Glaze is not a new thing. Chu State had glass for a long time, but it is usually some colored beads used as toys, like so clear and without bubbles, Xiang Yu had never seen it.

Fan Zeng looked at Xiang Yu's flashing eyes. He didn't know what he was thinking, but thought he liked this set of cups, so he said, "I can't use these. You can use them."

Xiang Yu was silent for a moment and shook his head: "How dare you take away the likes of Yafu?"

Fan Zeng was both angry and funny: "I don't like these things. I was thinking. He gave me this because he was probably afraid that we would break his crystal trade route."

"Crystal Trading Road?" Xiang Yu also raised his spirits.

"This glass looks similar to the crystal. If it weren't for someone's words, I wouldn't be able to tell the difference." Fan Zeng raised his head and couldn't figure it out: "But why has he been transporting more and more crystals to Guanzhong recently? Crystal mining takes time and effort, and it's very valuable to transport it to Guanzhong for a long distance. Why do he need so many crystals with such beautiful glass? Is this glass more valuable than crystals? But I asked Zhou Yu, although this set of wine is expensive, it is not more expensive than crystals. If the cost of long-distance transportation of crystals is included, I'm afraid that the crystals will be more expensive."

Maybe he was crazy about being poor." Xiang Yu thought for a while and suddenly laughed: "We emptied the treasury in Xianyang. Now he can only do this. I want to make money back from us?" The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was right. Recently, bamboo paper from Guanzhong began to be sold to the six countries in Shandong. A large number of money were often transported out of the customs and the truck of money back.

"It sounds like it makes sense, but I still don't believe it." Fan Zeng glanced at Ji Bu and suddenly said, "You have traveled a lot. Are there anyone you know in Guanzhong?"

Ji Bu shook his head: "I rarely go to Guanzhong, there are no acquaintances, but my brother will be swimming there for a few years, and there should be many acquaintances."

"Oh, go and find him."

"Here." Ji Bu turned around and left.

Xiang Yu looked at all this without saying a word. There was no expression on his face, as calm as a pool of stagnant water.

"Aji. I want to discuss something with you.

” Fan Zeng said softly.

"Father Ya, please tell Xiang Yu dryly.

Guyan Mountain is the best in the courtyard.

After Maodun left Jingyang, he was thinking about a deal with Gongwei along the way. He felt that Gongwei's request was too much. In recent years, the Huns were very arrogant and thought that after the Great Wall Legion was left, the Central Plains were fighting in a melee. Yan, Zhao, and Qin, which bordered the Huns, could not have the energy to take care of the northern borders, so inside and outside the Great Wall, they were all their horse ranch farms, and it was natural to detain the Wu family. Now that Gongwei wants Touman to hand over the Wu family, he has to take out another 10,000 horses and 50,000 cattle as a benefit, and then trade again. Whether it is Touman or other kings, they will think that Gongwei is crazy. The Huns have always liked to rob and are unwilling to do equal transactions, let alone such an unequal treaty?

But Maodun was not afraid of the contract not being successful. On the contrary, he was afraid that the contract would be successful. In that case, he would have no chance. But another thing that made him embarrassed was that Gongwei also offered him a price of 5,000 horses and 20,000 cows. Where did he do these things?

He thought about it all the way, and finally came up with a solution of the best of both worlds before entering the Shanyu court.

He told the head Man Shanyu that the King of Western Chu was very arrogant. He not only wanted to get back the Wu clan for nothing, but also asked us to give him 20,000 good horses and 100,000 bulls for free, and then he would trade with us. Seeing that he was like this, he probably wouldn't even trade even if he traded.

When Touman heard this, he became angry. The day turned around: Ermo only we, the Huns, robbed the people of the Central Plains, and now there are still people who come to Lexin Guess... The Central Plains people of the Great Huns? Talk about his mother's legs. Send someone to rob them immediately!

Maodun was secretly happy when he saw it, but he still looked very worried. He exaggerated the strength of the Western Chu cavalry he saw, saying that if he really wanted to fight, the Huns might not get any advantage. Why don’t we discuss it again to see if he could let him lower his requirements? Before he finished speaking, Touman was annoyed. He was just a whip. Originally, if you could run back from Yuezhi, you were a warrior, but now you have become a coward? Get out of the way and see how I deal with this ungrateful Central Plains people.

Seeing that Shanyu was so angry that Maodun was scolded by the fire, the clan of Yan was happy and fanned the fire behind him, saying that Maodun was a brave man and was not worthy of being the prince of Shanyu. The implication was that it would be better to let her son be the prince. The people next to Shanyu had already received the benefits of the clan of Yan, so of course they would bother to speak together, which made Touman Shanyu's mind full of anger.

Maodun was not in a hurry, but instead advised him that he could not go to war with the people of Western Chu. Once the war started, he would be defeated. Touman was so angry that he kicked him a big shot and left without looking back. That night he issued an urgent order to summon the army of various tribes to prepare to invade Beidi County. The Shanyuting was very lively for a while.

Just as Touman was waiting for the expedition. Before it snowed, King Aries sent news: He was attacked by the Western Chu people and was defeated in one battle. Only half of the people were left to retreat to Fuping City. The tribe, cattle and sheep were all taken away by the Western Chu people. Shanyu was shocked and had not yet figured out what was going on. The news about King Loufan came again. King Aries was eaten by the King of Western Chu people in Fuping. The 30,000 army escaped only a few thousand cavalry. The others were all dead. King Aries' head was also cut off by the Western Chu people as a urinal.

The entire Shanyuting was shocked. The strength of the Aries King was rank-up among the various divisions of the Huns. Everyone knew the combat power of his 30,000 cavalry. The people of Western Chu had only 20,000 cavalry, and 20,000 people ate 30,000. Even if they started to attack and took advantage of it, it took them more than an hour to capture Fuping City, and they didn’t even have time to pick up the support of Loufan. This was too terrifying, right?

What's even more terrifying is still behind.

King Lou Fan soon sent another message. After the Western Chu killed the King of Aries, the 100,000 troops went to Shangjun in a fierce manner. He could not resist, so he had to take his tribe to Hedong. He is now robbing Hedong to compensate for the losses. He told the Shanyu that the incident of the King of Aries being attacked was very coincidental. King Aries was nearly a thousand miles away from the Qin people's Great Wall. He hid in Qingshan Gorge and did not lean on the straight road. Logically, the people of Western Chu should not know where he was, and it was even more impossible to go out from the Great Wall, rushing thousands of miles, and hit it with one blow. They seemed to know that the King of Aries was hiding in Qingshan Gorge, but if they had known for a long time, why hadn't taken action before, but the Huns had just negotiated with them? King Lou Fan was bluntly suspicious and Maodun revealed the situation of King of Aries to the people of Western Chu.

There were also several soldiers of the Aries King who came with the envoy. They escaped from the camp of the Western Chu people after they were defeated and captured. They understood a few words of the Qin people, and they only learned about this situation when they heard the soldiers of the Western Chu people laughing in the camp.

These few words pushed Maodun to the forefront.

Maodun looked at the Aries King soldier who wanted to bite him into a bite of meat, smiled faintly, and looked at the people who were looking at Xiaojian with contempt. Seeing that he looked calm, Touman Shanyu was a little confused.

"You can't understand such a simple thing?" Maodun snorted from his nose: "Things are so coincidental? Those Western Chu soldiers were talking about these things next to you. If this happened, the King of Western Chu would let several soldiers know? If I told King of Western Chu about the situation of King Aries, how could I keep King Lou Fan to cause trouble for me? It would seem easier for King of Western Chu to attack King Lou Fan."

Everyone was stunned and speechless.

"Then," why can the people of Western Chu attack thousands of miles and hit it with one blow?" Touman said with some difficulty.

"Don't forget, when Meng Tian was in Shangjun, the northern part was taken down by the Qin people. They knew the terrain there as well as the Wu people. Their Great Wall was built until the Yinshan Mountains, and their straight roads came out of Yunyang to Jiuyuan for only one day and one night. The Qin people had written words, and they could draw maps. Will they leave maps here? Gongwei accepted Guanzhong, and of course they also received those maps. What's impossible with the Qingshan Gorge? You can think about it and know that where is Beidi County more suitable for Yin than Qingshan Gorge?

Hunt?" Maodun calmly and talked happily: "When I went on a mission to pass Qingshan Gorge, I warned King Aries not to think that Qingshan Gorge is thousands of miles away from the Great Wall. It is safe. A thousand miles away. It may be a long distance for the Qin army with infantry, but if the other party is full of cavalry, then they will be like us. It is also a matter of time. Don't think that if the people of Western Chu are not on the edge of the straight road, the people of Western Chu can do nothing to him." "Wait, do you mean that the people of Western Chu are all cavalry?" Touman was surprised.
