Ni Chu

After killing Zhao Gao, Gong Ziying immediately ordered [-] troops to go to Gaoguan to help guard the pass and prevent the Chu army from advancing on Xianyang.

At this time, Liu Bang's army had arrived at the Gaoguan pass, confronting the Qin army guarding the pass.

Since Xiang Yu's army slaughtered 20 Qin soldiers in Xin'an, they have encountered almost no resistance along the way, and they have been approaching Hangu Pass.

Xiang Ye has been thinking about what happened that night in Xin'an these days. Although he did not witness the massacre with his own eyes, he also learned from the mouth of the Chu army who carried out the massacre mission that the massacred Qin army was dying. the tragedy.

The Chu army stopped again. The Qin army who resisted sporadically on the road didn't need Xiang Ye to worry about it. As long as the few fierce generals around Xiang Yu got on their horses, those Qin troops would flee. This way, they marched well. smoothly.

"General, someone wants to see you," Xiang Ye said as soon as he set up camp when Er Hu ran up to him and cupped his fists.

"I don't want to see anyone." Xiang Ye frowned, waved to Erhu and said, "Let them go first. If there is really something to do, it won't be too late to see me again in a few days."

"The person who came said that he has to do a very important matter. If the general doesn't see him, he probably won't have the chance to see him for a long time. He also said that as long as he told the general that it was the old man on the bank of the Yellow River who asked to see him , the general should not be missing," Erhu did not leave, but continued to say to Xiang Ye with a bow.

"The old man on the bank of the Yellow River," Xiang Ye was taken aback for a moment, and then said to Er Hu: "Please hurry up."

Back then on the bank of the Yellow River, he was attacked by Guan Feng and was seriously injured. If it wasn't for the old man who rescued him, he would have become a lonely ghost. He straightened his armor and led a group of personal soldiers to greet him outside the gate.

Seeing the old man standing outside the gate, Xiang Ye was taken aback for a moment. The man in front of him was wearing a deep silk dress. If he didn't remember his face, he would never have believed that this was the man who helped him and Mengsu on the bank of the Yellow River back then. old man.

"Old man, I won't see you for a while, so don't come here." Although he was puzzled, Xiang Ye still bowed deeply to the old man and said, "I didn't repay the great kindness that day, and I will always keep it in my heart. Today I should meet you with a big gift. However, the armor is still on the body, so I don’t think it’s strange for the old man, "

The old man stroked his beard and laughed, clasped his fists to Xiang Ye and said, "The general is out. Wei He came here today to apologize to the general. Mo Feng and I lied to the general that day, and I hope the general is happy."

It wasn't until Wei He said Mo Feng's name that Xiang Ye noticed that there was a young man about his own age standing behind him.

This young man was dark-skinned, and even though he was wearing a beautiful robe, it could not hide his toned figure.

"Mr. Mo Feng, you are polite." Xiang Ye bowed his hands to Mo Feng, and then said to the two of them, "Since I have come to my camp today, I will ask the Huotou army to prepare some meat for you. The food in the army is vulgar. I hope you two don't dislike me, "

"It's easy to say, easy to say," Wei He nodded to Xiang Ye, and walked towards the camp with Xiang Ye side by side.

After the three of them entered the camp, Mengsu heard that the old man who had helped her and Xiang Ye on the bank of the Yellow River came. Although it was inconvenient to come to see each other, he asked the Huotou Army to prepare more food and wine, and told them to treat them well. VIP.

In order to entertain Wei He and Mo Feng, Xiang Ye sent someone to invite Wu You, Wei Feng and others over. After everyone sat down, the soldiers brought in the food and wine carefully prepared by the Huotou Army.

"Mr. Wei, I am very grateful for the rescue that day, and I will offer you a toast here at the end," the soldiers scooped out wine from the barrel and filled the glass in front of Xiang Ye. Xiang Ye raised his glass and said to Wei He : "Mister must drink this cup to the full,"

Wei He smiled slightly, picked up the wine glass and drank it down.

After drinking, he wiped his mouth and said to Xiang Ye with a smile: "The general does not forget what happened that day, which really surprised me. Today, the old man came here not to catch up with the general, but to ask the general for something."

After all, he looked at the people sitting in the tent. From his eyes, Xiang Ye could see that he wanted to make everyone avoid them.

"Sir, don't worry, everyone here today is my brother. If there is something to do, sir, just say it." Xiang Ye smiled at Weihe and said to him: "As long as I, Xiang Ye, can do it, I will do my best." Do it for Mr.

Wei He pondered for a while, and then said to Xiang Ye as if he had made up his mind: "I don't know if the general has heard of Zhao Tuo."

"Zhao Tuo," Xiang Ye was taken aback for a moment, glanced at Wu You, then shook his head at Wei He and said, "Forgive me for my ignorance, sir, who is this Zhao Tuo?"

It's not that Xiang Ye doesn't know about Zhao Tuo. Although there aren't many historical records about the King of Nanyue, Xiang Ye still knows something. The reason why he doesn't say he knows is because his identity is in the current environment. You really shouldn't know too much.

"Zhao Tuo was the general who conquered the South back then. Now our army is marching westward. I heard that he ordered the road to the north to be blocked and the army was forbidden to go north to aid Qin. I don't know if Mr. Wei is talking about this Zhao Tuo. "Xiang Ye said he didn't know him, but Wu You replied with a slight nod, twisting his chin.

"Exactly," Wei He bowed, nodded to Wu You, and then said to Xiang Ye: "Since General Zhao Tuo entered South Vietnam, he has worked hard to manage the barren land in an orderly manner. The South Vietnamese people don't want to fight now. I just want to live a peaceful life, this time Mo Feng and I came here just to ask General Xiang for a favor, "

"I don't know what the relationship between Mr. Zhao and General Zhao Tuo is." Xiang Ye frowned, he vaguely felt that Wei He came to beg him this time, and it was not so easy to do.

"I am the staff under General Zhao Tuo's tent, and Mo Feng is the head of the personal guard in front of the general's tent," Wei He said after introducing his and Mo Feng's identities to Xiang Ye: "On the bank of the Yellow River that day, Mo Feng and I were also the same. Seeing that the general is a talented person with a bright future, he came to the rescue. To be honest with the general, we knew in advance that the person who went eastward with the general that day was Miss Meng. The reason why the general was rescued was for today's plan. If there is a grudge, Mo Feng and I will leave now."

After hearing Wei He's words, Xiang Ye was stunned for a while, then shook his head and sighed and said: "I have always been concerned that the kindness that Mr. In the pit dug in advance, that's all, that's all, I, Xiang Ye, am not a person who does not repay my favor, since the husband did help me that day, as long as the matter is not very difficult this time, I will definitely do my best for him, "

"This matter is just a trivial matter for the general." Hearing what Xiang Ye said, a knowing smile appeared on Wei He's face. General Zhao will never forget that as long as this is done, Nanyue will definitely give his all to the general in the future whenever the general is dispatched."

"Mister, please tell me why you came to see me this time." The two parties have already made it clear, and Xiang Ye felt that there was no need to continue the politeness, so he said to Wei He: "What exactly do you want me to do for you, sir? Just say it."

"I would like to ask the general to introduce the general of your army for us," Wei He said, and everyone sitting in the tent was stunned.

This matter is really not difficult for Xiang Ye, but Xiang Ye can't do it easily. He still doesn't know why Wei He and Mo Feng want to see Xiang Yu. If they are recommended, they are going to assassinate Xiang Yu, whether they will or not If it succeeds, Xiang Ye will not have a good life in the future.

Xiang Ye put one hand on his forehead and remained silent for a long time without speaking.

"Don't worry, general." Seeing that Xiang Ye didn't speak, Wei He then said to him: "I didn't come here to harm the general of your army, but just wanted to talk to him about something. If he agrees, Nanyue will I will do my best to assist Da Chu to advance to Guanzhong."

Xiang Ye shook his head, and said to Wei He: "It's too late, if sir, if you came to the general to raise this condition before the Battle of Julu, I'm afraid things will be much easier. It's only a matter of time before the Great Chu army breaks through Xianyang. Is there any point in bringing this up again?”

Wei He nodded and said, "What the general said is reasonable, but General Zhao also prepared a big gift for Great General Chu. Presumably, he will be interested in such a big gift."

"What's the big gift?" Xiang Ye immediately became interested when he heard about the big gift, and asked Wei He quickly.

"Three, seven, five hundred carts, and many other special medicinal materials in South Vietnam. These medicinal materials are extremely effective in stopping bleeding and healing wounds. I think the Great General Chu will not be uninterested." Wei He smiled slightly and said to Xiang Ye: "The general was seriously injured that day. , it was notoginseng powder that saved the general,"

"There are such good things," Xiang Ye propped his chin on his hand, rolled his eyes a few times, and said to Wei He: "It's not impossible to recommend you to the general, but I have a condition, you have to sell it to me every year in the future. One hundred cars of notoginseng powder, um, I only want notoginseng powder, not panax notoginseng, "

Wei He and Mo Feng glanced at each other, pondered for a moment, then raised their heads and said to Xiang Ye: "The general has a big appetite, one cart of sanqi powder takes five carts of sanqi powder, and Nanyue can only produce two carts a year." More than a hundred cars, you are asking for half of our production every year, "

Xiang Ye shrugged his shoulders and said to Wei He: "There is no way, who asked you to ask me for help today only after calculating, my condition is not too much, as long as you agree, I will pay you at the market price every year." [-]% of the price to buy from you, this must be supplied, what do you think, "

"General, this isn't a purchase, it's an open robbery," Wei He sighed bitterly and said, "The profit of panax notoginseng powder is not high in the first place, [-]% of the market price, that is, every time we sell you a car, we charge [-]% off the cost, that's all, that's all, I'll make a decision for General Zhao, we've done this business, "
