Wei Ran said: "I still think about how close Tao is, maybe he can get help from the guards, but it will only take ten days."
Zhang Lu said: "Tao Yi will be rewarded in a few days. Qin entered Wei at the same time as Liang. Although the road is short, it was close at the same time."
Wei Ran said: "Not just Liang, Anyi should also be prepared."
Huayang Jun said: "Anyi is only one river away from Qin. It rises in the morning and arrives in the evening. Compared with Tao, there are many places."
Seeing that no one supported his idea, Wei Ran could no longer insist on it, so he said: "Everyone has discussed two strategies, and all ministers should report to the king, and the king will listen. Huayang Junqi discussed the details with Zhang Qing in detail, The third son helps him. He is following the king's order." The five people stood up together and sent Wei Ran out of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Lord Huayang asked a retainer to report to Xianyang Palace: "Every department is ordered to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to listen to orders. "Go back to the Nuan Pavilion.
Several people were all administrative veterans, and it didn't take long for them to formulate a working order. Chatting while drinking water, waiting for Wei Ran to come back.
Wei Ran came back before the various lawsuits in the Qin court arrived, and conveyed the King of Qin's opinion: Diplomacy with other countries is unlikely to succeed; now the two routes are all from foreign countries, and they should be handled at the same time, as quickly as possible. The five people said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise!" Huayang Jun asked: "Is your Majesty still in Ganquan Palace?"
Wei Ran said: "Of course." Then he discussed the details of the execution with everyone. Everyone could feel the urgency of King Qin to rescue Hu Yang, and couldn't help but speed up.
After a while, various departments arrived. Lord Wu'an issued the Jiefushi and ordered Tao's army to prepare to leave the country and cover the Qin army's retreat in several cities. He ordered Anyi to reorganize the military and prepare to block the Wei army's crossing. Lord Huayang issued a talisman and ordered Dian Kefu to send travelers to Daliang and Puyang respectively to negotiate with the King of Wei and the Marquis of Wei respectively, asking the King of Wei to open the road to Nanyang; he asked the Marquis of Wei to prepare hundreds of ships to go to the fork of the Yellow River downstream. At Suxukou in front, he prepared to receive the Qin army across the river; at the same time, he sent envoys to Handan to negotiate peace with Zhao. Zhang Qing is responsible for the coordination of all actions.
It is more than a thousand miles from Xianyang, and the east-west distance from Anyi to Tao is also more than a thousand miles. Coordinating the actions of all parties over such great distances is almost impossible. Zhang Lu requested the establishment of a secret shogunate in Luoyang to shorten the distance to all parties. Zhang Lu also believed that there were not many opportunities for the Qin people to contribute in this rescue operation thousands of miles away, so he suggested inviting Chu Zuo disciple Huang Xie to use his influence to mobilize the strength of businessmen to complete the task. Zhang Lu's suggestion aroused everyone's interest. Everyone compared the distances from various places to Xianyang and Luoyang, and found that setting up an advanced command post in Luoyang was a smart choice; everyone was hesitant to invite Huang Xie, mainly because everyone felt I feel uneasy about Huang Xie's lack of knowledge and letting him get involved in such an important matter.
Zhang Lu said: "The Prince of Chu is in Xianyang, so how can Huang Xie win two hearts? Huang Xie's abilities are well known to me. The former is connected to Yi Canal, and Huang Xie's power is also there."
Zhang Lu was a guest of the King of Qin, and Huang Xie was a disciple of the Chu State. They were the hostages of the King of Qin. No one here had the right to decide on their movements, and they had to be reported to the King of Qin for approval. So Marquis Rang went to the palace again to report and let everyone discuss the relevant matters clearly. Soon Wei Ran came back and said: "The King of Qin has agreed. The King of Qin's decrees will be dealt with according to the needs, and it will be handled by each prince at his discretion." Zhang Lu reported the results of the discussion to Marquis Rang. Zhang Lu didn't have many disciples, but Zheng Anping and Chen Si happened to be back, which strengthened his strength.
Seeing that the plan was approved, Zhang Lu personally went to Huang Xie for help.
Huang Xie and the others still live in the hotel next to Xianyang Palace. After Zhang Lu arrived, he showed the festival talisman. The postman invited Zhang Lu to the courtyard and knocked on the door. The person who opened the door was a retainer from the Huang Mansion. Over the past year or so, the retainers of the Huang Mansion have changed several times, and Zhang Lu does not know the current one. Zhang Lu stepped forward, showed his talisman, and said: "Qin guest minister Zhang Lu asks to see Zuo Tu!"
The retainer heard that he was Qin Keqing. After inspecting the festival talisman, he asked him to go to the concierge for a while and then went in to report to Huang. At this time, it was just after breakfast, Huang Xie was giving a lecture to the prince, and people from the prince's mansion were listening. When Huang Xie heard that Zhang Lu was coming, Huang Xie asked the Prince's Mansion and his party to stay away for the time being. He hurriedly came out and bowed to the ground. The three Mang family members also came out to meet him. The Prince's Mansion and his entourage hid in the corridor and listened secretly.
Although Zhang and Huang were often seen in the court, Huang Xie rarely made irresponsible remarks about Qin Zheng, while Zhang Lu was mostly working outside, so there were not many opportunities for the two to talk in private.
When everyone came to the hall, Huang Xie served tea and asked, "If you are here in person, you will surely learn something!"
Zhang Lu did not be polite and said directly: "Qinzhong reported that Hu Yang was trapped by Zhao generals. He is now living here. Zuo Tu knows it. I am here today and want Zuo Tu to help me and pull out the Qin army!"
Huang Xie asked very sensitively: "Withdraw the Qin army, how can this military force be used by Zhang Qing? Is Zhang Qing assisting the King of Qin's military force?"
Zhang Lu said: "It's just sharing the work for the king! Let's pull out the Qin army, not fight, but make peace with Wei, Wei, and Zhao." Then he told the Wei people that they would not open the road to Nanyang.
After listening to Zhang Lu's introduction, Huang Xie pondered for a moment and said: "So, it is a lie for Han and Wei to back Qin and serve Zhao Gai!"
Zhang Lu said: "How can you see it?"
Huang Xie said: "If Wei has turned its back on Qin, it should join forces with Zhao. Now Wei is neither with Qin nor with Zhao, so it is not turning its back on us. We only have hearsay but don't know the truth. We dare not cut off our ears!"
Zhang Lu said: "What Zuo Tu saw is great!" He also told the story of the Wei army appearing at the foot of Huotai Mountain, and added: "Perhaps the Wei general, Prince Jiu, wants to take advantage of the situation and attack Anyi!"
Huang Xie said: "With only ten thousand people traveling thousands of miles, nothing can be done. But if we get one army of soldiers, we can defeat them. How can we seize Anyi?"
Zhang Lu said: "What Zuo Tu said is true!" He also told that the Korean army had not yet entered the country.
Huang Xie said: "I should congratulate the king. There is internal strife in the three Jin Dynasties, and Qin has no worries."
Zhang Lu said: "Now that Zhao can defeat Qin, Wei, and Han alone, what will the generals do?"
Huang Xie said: "The Seven Warring States were all states with thousands of vehicles. Now Qi, Chu, Han, and Wei have all been defeated, and Yan is in the north. The only ones fighting are Zhao and Qin. In the battle of Huayang, 20,000 Zhao troops sank in the river , everyone in the world thinks that Qin came out of Zhao, and Zhao alone is not equal. Now we must take victory over Qin as a merit, and avenge this hatred. Zhang Qing's mission has not been easy!"
Zhang Lu said: "That's why I asked Zuo Tu to teach me, but Zuo Tu taught me!"
Huang Xie stared at Zhang Lu, as if guessing his true intentions. Zhang Lu said: "The king has two strategies now: one is to connect Wei to Nanyang; the other is to connect Wei to Tao. What does Zuo Tu think?"
Huang Xie thought for a while and said: "Both of them are unacceptable. However, it will be for the benefit of the two monarchs. What will Qin general give him?"
Zhang Lu said: "Is it okay to send the Wei army to Anyi?"
Huang Xie said: "Although it is possible, it will take time."
Zhang Lu said: "If there is no connection between the two, Wang Yun will ask for peace with Zhao! He will definitely pull out Zhong Geng!"
When Huang Xie heard "please make peace with Zhao", he said anxiously: "No! Zhao and Qin are at war in the world. If your spirit is slightly dampened, it may be difficult to recover!"
Zhang Lu said: "I would like to hear Zuo Tu's strategy!"
Huang Xie took a breath and said, "I would like to hear about the situation between Qin and Zhao."
Zhang Lu said: "Qin was not able to pass through the Wei road, so it lived in several towns, just like trapped beasts. Zhao general Lianpo returned to Handan to ask for help, and then asked for a boat in Li. He wanted to advance by land and water, and attacked several cities. He was almost close to Handan, and if he was allowed to do so, Because Zhao's troops are unlimited, the Qin army will surely fall. Therefore, we should save it."
Huang Xie said: "If the King of Qin does not give up, I will go to Daliang and say that the King of Wei will lead Nanyang."
Zhang Lu said: "It's impossible. Zuo Tu is from Chu. How can he speak for Qin in Daliang?"
Huang Xie said: "I held the crown prince as hostage to the Qin Dynasty, and received the king's kindness, but I have nothing to repay. Now I just use my words to argue and serve the king, which is my heart's wish."
Zhang Ludao: "Zuo Tu's argument has been heard all over the world. I should repay the king, Zuo Tu has worked hard!"
Huang Xie said: "How dare you quit your job!"
Zhang Lu chatted for a few more words and stood up to leave. Huang Xie sent him out of the house and said goodbye as a courtesy.
Back in the hall, the prince and others were waiting in front of the hall to greet him. When Huang Xie sat down, the prince said: "Zhang Qing only wants to get a word, and my father is willing to serve, so why?"
Huang Xie said: "The world is broken, and the only ones left intact are Zhao and Qin Er. If Zhao and Qin fight, the power of the world can still be restored; if Zhao and Qin are in harmony, the world can never be restored. What Zhang Qing said is that the king of Qin wants to make peace with Zhao to defeat the Qin army. This is It can't be accomplished. Therefore, I would like to go to Daliang in person to tell the king of Wei that he must pass through Nanyang to get out of the Qin army. This will cause Qin and Zhao to fight against each other. "
The prince puzzled and said: "If you want to make Qin and Zhao fight each other, how far should you suppress the Qin army? Isn't it appropriate to fight Zhao in a trapped beast? How can you help it pull out the Qin army and escape from the prison? This cannot be replicated!"
Huang Xie said: "The King of Qin is very human. If Qin has been here for a long time and the Zhao army arrives, the king will make peace with Zhao and not want to fight with him. If he cedes his land a little and humbles his words a little, he will not be harmed by Qin, and the world will be harmed. It cannot be repeated."
The prince said: "What if the Qin army is pulled out and the Qin people are unharmed and escape from the prison?"
Huang Xie said: "Hu Yang originally attacked Yanyu and appeared in Handan. There must be a way. If Hu Yang survives, he will lead the Qin army to attack Zhao again. If Hu Yang dies, the Qin people will not know his way."
Prince Fu said: "I am also very confused. I ordered you to attack Lanyu, but how can you show up outside Handan City?"
Huang Xie said: "There must be a way between Yan and Handan!" As soon as Huang Xie said this, everyone present was shocked. After a long time, Mang Shen said: "If Daolan and his troops attack Handan, the Great Wall will be nothing! Handan has mountains and water on its back to be solid. If the mountain road can be passed, Handan will be in danger!"
Huang Xie said: "What Mr. Shen said is true. At this time, the Qin army must be pulled out and returned to the country. There are rumors everywhere that Yan and Handan can be connected. Qin will use many methods to plan it, and Zhao will use all kinds of strategies to control it. If Qin and Zhao fight, the vitality of the world can be restored, and Chu can be prosperous. Therefore, we should go out. "
The prince said: "My father's concerns are very deep! May I ask what words should be used to express them?"
Huang Xie said: "What Zhang Qing said is that the Wei army may be trapped in Anyi, and I would like Master Shen to investigate its situation carefully. If you want to persuade the king of Wei, the only way to move the Wei army is in Anyi!" Mang Shen responded.
The prince said: "How can a mere remnant army attack the King of Wei?"
Huang Xie said: "Han, Wei and Qin allied forces to attack Zhao. Now the Qin people came out of Handan and the Wei people came out of Anyi. Where are the Koreans going?"
Everyone was stunned and didn't know what to say. Huang Xie said: "It will be defeated by the Zhao people! How do you know it? Lanyu is not a place where they have lived for a long time. Since the Zhao people defeated Qin in Handan, they must save Lanyu. To save Lanyu, they must fight with Han and Wei."
