Emperor Qin Ba Shi

Chapter 571 Fan Zeng Across Jiujiang (1)

At this time, Zhao Yan had already seen Xiang Zhuang and the others approaching from a distance, knowing that they were facing Fan Zeng and his party, he waved his hand, slowed down the speed of the car, and looked at them slowly.

Zhao Yan knew in his heart how difficult and difficult this old man was to deal with.Because of this, Jiujiang Wang Yingbu sent him to meet him.

Don't hesitate to let go of a country's government affairs!
……

Of course, Zhao Yan had heard of Yafu Fan Zeng, the world-renowned Chu military adviser, and he was the only one in the world.

It can be said that Fan Zeng is the second most famous person in this world besides Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu. Neither Liaodong King Liu Ji nor Qin Emperor Hu Hai is far behind.

In front of Zhao Yan, there were no more than 300 people in this team, no banners, carts but no guard of honor, but the [-] elite guards made this team stand out.

Zhao Yan knew that this was the convoy of envoys from Western Chu. It was not customary to welcome envoys from one country to another. However, the strength of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, and the power of Fan Zeng made Jiujiang Wang Yingbu happy.

When he was in the first army, Jiujiang Wang Yingbu admired Fan Zeng very much, and he knew that Fan Zeng had made great efforts to be crowned king.

Because of this, Jiujiang Wang Yingbu attached great importance to Fan Zeng's visit this time.

So much so that Zhao Yan, the Prime Minister of the country, was sent directly to meet him.When he was nearly halfway to the arrow, Zhao Yan's eyes flashed, and he clearly saw Fan Zeng with gray beard and hair in a green shirt.

For a moment, Zhao Yan couldn't help feeling awe in his heart: an old man who has gone through hardships and has great ambitions. Facing adversity, he personally went north to unite all the countries in the world. How many people can there be in the world with this kind of spirit?

Thoughts flickered in Zhao Yan's mind, Zhao Yan jumped out of the cart while feeling emotional, and bowed his hands to Fan Zeng and his party: "Zhao Yan, the Prime Minister of Jiujiang Kingdom, welcomes the Chu army division by the king's order."

At this time, Fan Zeng looked at Zhao Yan and his party opposite, got off from the cart, and said to Zhao Yan and his party, "Fan Zeng Zeng thanked the King of Jiujiang, and thanked the Prime Minister."

After seeing the etiquette, Fan Zeng said to Zhao Yan and the others, "Come on, I will introduce to you, this Xiang Zhuang, and this is Wu She."

Fan Zeng knew in his heart that this was his first step, and he had to accomplish something brilliant. Only in this way could the world be convinced.

"National Prime Minister of Xiajiujiang, Zhao Yan, it's a pleasure to meet you!" At this moment, Zhao Yan said with a slight smile.

Zhao Yan saluted with several people one by one, and finally smiled generously
Said: "Military division, please, Zhao Yan has already arranged a banquet, singing and dancing in the mansion, to clean up the dust for the military division tonight."

As far as Zhao Yan is concerned, he has a certain understanding of Jiujiang Wang Yingbu's thinking. Similarly, he is more aware of the mission that Fan Zeng is carrying this time.

It is precisely because of this that he admires Fan Zengji very much. Wearing the seals of the kingdoms of Shandong is naturally a very honorable thing, but if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight.

If you want to wear the seal of Shandong, you must be recognized by the countries. Although Fan Zeng has enough prestige, he may not be able to achieve this great cause.

After all, in this world, not everyone is Su Qin, and Su Qin only wears the seal of the six kingdoms of Shandong. The current situation is much more complicated than before.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yan's expression became more solemn.Such a person is worthy of respect.

"Please, Prime Minister!" Fan Zeng stretched out his hand, and walked towards King Jiujiang's palace together with Zhao Yan.

After a few years, it was time for him to see if the King of Jiujiang had made any progress.Because of this, Fan Zeng looked calm, almost indifferent.

……

After Zhao Yan finished speaking, he waved his hand, and a bronze canopy chariot drove out of the horse team.He smiled slightly at Fan Zeng, and bowed to please: "Military commander, please board the car—!"

"Please--!"

Zhao Yan invited Fan Zeng to board the car, Fan Zeng knew in his heart that this is the etiquette of a country's envoys, he nodded slightly and boarded the car.

"drive--!"

With an order, Xiang Zhuang led the cavalry to open the way, Zhao Yan himself was in the rear, and the welcoming team of Jiujiang Kingdom and the escort team of Western Chu followed one another, guarding Fan Zeng's caravan and scurrying westward.

……

After a while, the group had already entered Lu'an, and since Zhao Yan held the emperor's order, there was no gate to stop him along the way.

After entering Lu'an, the post house in the east of the city was already brightly lit and full of people. Because of Fan Zeng's arrival, Jiujiang Kingdom's guards on the post house were extremely strict.

"Wow—!"

As soon as Xiang Zhuang grabbed the reins, the entire horse team stopped immediately, and a group of people came to the gate of the post house.

At this time, the postman who had been waiting for the whole afternoon came in a hurry and reported to Zhao Yan, saying: "Prime Minister, the residences and knight camps of your lords have been prepared, and you can move in immediately."

At this time, the Yiguan Yicheng didn't say that the banquet to clean up the dust was ready, because he knew that the King of Jiujiang attached great importance to Fan Zeng.

This time, it was either in the royal palace or in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but it was impossible to be in the post house, and the post office was well aware of this.

Hearing this, Zhao Yan discussed with Fan Zenglue: "Military division, first arrange guards to camp in the woods outside the post house. The military division will go to the residence to freshen and change clothes first, and then go to the mansion to hold a banquet."

"it is good!"

Nodding his head slightly, Fan Zeng agreed. He knew in his heart that Zhao Yan and Jiujiang Wang Yingbu were the masters here, and they were just passers-by.

This is a distance above the land of the Central Plains. Even though Western Chu is stronger, at this time, Fan Zeng is not hospitable and bullies the master.

……

Watching Fan Zeng and others go in, Zhao Yan left the post house and came to the Jiujiang Palace, bowed deeply to King Yingbu of Jiujiang, and said: "I pay homage to the king—!"

Jiujiang Wang Yingbu's eyes were deep, he was silent for a while, he paused every word to Zhao Yan, and said, "Minister Guo, Fan Zeng has arrived in Jiujiang?"

"Your Majesty, the Chu military division has safely arrived at the post house, and the minister is here to report to your Majesty!"

"call……"

Hearing this, Jiujiang Wang Yingbu heaved a sigh of relief, and said to Zhao Yan, "Mr. Chu's military division is over seventy years old. His safety must be guaranteed."

"My Jiujiang country can't bear the Chu army's accident in Jiujiang. You know how sharp the soldiers of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, are."

Jiujiang Wang Yingbu had to be afraid. Fan Zeng was too old, and now he was suffering from this kind of trek, and his health was very likely to go wrong.

Ying Bu, who was aware of the seriousness of the problem, discussed with Zhao Yan for a long time before Zhao Yan turned and left.

He also needed to go to the mansion to prepare a banquet, and send chariots and horses to meet Fan Zeng and others, so he didn't dare to stay longer in the palace.
