"Sir, so you are from Wen County?" Fu Su slightly said in surprise, "Our route for this march will indeed pass through this place."

Xu Qin knew that this request was related to the movement of the entire Great Wall Corps, and it was indeed not easy to answer, so he could only say: "Young master promised me that day, unconditionally agreeing to one of my requests, and I have nothing else to ask, I only hope that my hometown will not be destroyed by the flames of war. and."

Fu Su hesitated and said, "I will never go back on what I promised my husband, but it's a very important matter, and I still need to discuss it with the soldiers."

"Isn't it the son and General Meng who have the final say on the affairs of the whole army?"

Meng Tian, ​​who had been sitting beside him silently, said at this time: "At the beginning, Mr. Gao Yi exposed Zhao Gao's tricks and saved the young master from danger. I have always been deeply grateful, but if the army's marching route is changed, it will be delayed for at least one day. Itinerary, now that the war is tight, I don't agree with this matter, which involves the whole body."

"General Meng, I have already promised sir." Fusu frowned.

"There are priorities. Now is a good time for us to fight against Hu Hai's tyranny. How can we change the marching route at will because of him." Meng Tian also insisted, "We can fulfill Xu Qin's wish in other matters, and I also Special personnel can be sent to secretly take the Xu family out of Wen County."

"Why are you acting like this? You backtracked." Chen Mai stood up and said angrily, "I clearly agreed to unconditionally agree to a request of my elder brother, but now I use some excuses to prevaricate. Fortunately, I also heard that the young master Fusu Being a gentleman, I never thought that I would not even fulfill a single promise."

"Presumptuous, how did you talk to the young master?!" A guard immediately stood up and scolded.

"Go back." Fusu quickly stopped, "Don't be rude to distinguished guests."

Xu Qin also pushed Chen Mai back to his seat: "Brother Tong Yan Wuji, Wang Zi and General Haihan."

"Why would I be angry at Xiao Tong's words?" Fu Su shook his head and said, "I'm going to persuade General Meng about this matter, and I'll definitely do it for you."

But Meng Tian turned his head and replied: "I definitely won't agree."

Han Xin secretly said to Chen Mai: "Do you think these two people are acting for us? Or are they really having a dispute?"

Chen Mai was also pretending to be angry at first, and at this time he was secretly observing the expressions of Fusu and Meng Tian: "I see the expression of young master Fusu, it should be that he really wants to agree to the elder brother, and Meng Tian is really unwilling to agree to this matter, but I I feel that Meng Tian's performance is a little too fierce, not like a general who is prudently deploying the formation."

Han Xin smiled lightly and said, "I think he is just like you, pretending to be angry and wanting Xu Qin to retreat. If he doesn't retreat, I'm afraid there will be someone behind."

"I don't know if big brother can handle it." Chen Mai showed worry, ready to help at any time.

After an embarrassing silence in the big tent, Meng Tian flicked his cloak and strode out: "Your advice is harsh, if you insist on going your own way, you might as well let me invite other generals to come in and talk about their opinions on this matter."

"Wait a minute, general!" Fusu hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

If an ordinary person sees Meng Tian being so rude and arrogant to him, he will get angry and quarrel with him, then there will be a commotion in the big tent, and this matter will be revealed to the whole army, so Meng Tian can use the intention of the whole army To force Fusu to reject Xu Qin's request.

Or those who know how to advance and retreat will give a step down and promise to let other generals come in to discuss. When the time comes, there will be a lot of people, and Fusu may also change his mind based on other people's opinions.

But Xu Qin, as a modern person, does not have a strong sense of pride that "scholars can be killed but not humiliated". He came here to complete the task and ask the Soviet army to detour. In order to achieve his goal, he can thicken his skin.

Xu Qin is well aware that once things go beyond the discussion and decision between Fusu and Meng Tian, ​​there will be infinite variables. What he wants is to be safe, and what he wants is to get things done. Compared with the safety of so many people in Wen County, the method is not a problem .

"Young Master, General—" Xu Qin knelt down, put his hands under his forehead, and performed a standard kowtow. Anyway, these people are his ancestors, and it is not a loss to kneel, "Xu Qin begs you to lead the way." The army detoured through Wen County."

"What are you doing?" Fusu quickly helped him up, with deep guilt on his face, he neither wanted to disappoint Xu Qin's kindness, nor ignored Meng Tian's request and the interests of the army.

Before Xu Qin came, he expected that this time it would not be easy, so he used the Qin Dynasty road app to do his homework in advance, and then he said: "I suggest that the son's army detour to Wen County, which is also beneficial to the son's march. Wen County is located in a plain, surrounded by several large counties, and the Great Wall Legion has a large number of people. If it passes by, it is easy to be discovered by the Qin army. , there are many chariots and horses, and those who control strings and dare to fight are especially heroic of Wei Guo, and the officers and soldiers will outflank them head to tail, even General Meng, who is a genius in heaven, will not be able to retreat unscathed."

Meng Tian sarcastically said: "Sir, you really know how to brag, so what benefits can I gain by detouring Wen County?"

"A hundred miles away from Wen County, there is a hilly area with dense forests and few people. There is an unknown ancient road leading directly to the Yellow River Ferry. The general led his army to pass by. Not only can he quietly reach the river bank, but also the guards of other surrounding counties. Weak, you can cross the Yellow River without bloodshed, and go straight to Xianyang." Xu Qin replied, "The Yellow River to the south of Wen County is wide and deep, and it takes a few days to build a boat to cross the river. It is more time-consuming to detour through the mountain road in one day.”

"I won't go straight from Wen County to the Yellow River, and then march along the river bank to the ferry?"

"To tell you the truth, I just brought goods back to Wen County from the south. When I passed the Yellow River, I found that because of the current war, every ferry along the Yellow River has set up strict checkpoints, and almost every pavilion has soldiers. Marching, I am afraid that every time we go not far, we will encounter attacks."

"What Mr. said is quite reasonable, so why don't we send someone to visit that mountain road, if the situation is true, then we don't need to pass through Wen County." Fu Su nodded happily.

"My lord, you always trust others so easily." Meng Tian sneered, "Do you know the details of Xu Qin? His father is the county magistrate of Wen County, and his elder brother is the county captain of Wen County. Deliberately leading us to another road, and then setting up an ambush there?"

"Are you investigating me?" Xu Qin asked in surprise, Meng Tian is indeed very careful, with him assisting Fusu, it's no wonder that the Great Wall Legion marched like a broken bamboo all the way.

"In order to ensure the safety of the young master, I always want to put an end to any possibility that may endanger the young master."

Xu Qin shook his head: "The general misunderstood me. I also know myself. It is already difficult to ask the young master to detour to Wen County. Can you still think that I can be used to lure the enemy?"

"Then how do you prove that what you said is true?"

"Just because I visited the barracks with only two people is enough to show my sincerity."

"General Meng, I'm willing to trust sir." Fusu persuaded, "As a man, if you want to deceive me, I would have died when the edict was delivered."

Han Xin watched the excitement with great interest. It seemed that the kindness that Fusu owed to Xu Qin was much greater than his own, and it even related to the secrets of the royal family. No wonder Xu Qin looked confident before leaving.

"I can accompany you to explore the road first. Whether this ancient road is really safe or not, the young master and the general will send people to find out. If there is even half a lie, you can chop off my head." Xu Xu Chin spoke righteously.

"Well, I'll take a walk with you myself." Meng Tian said, if the ancient road is true, it would be a better choice for the Great Wall Legion to bypass Wen County, of course Meng Tian would not object.

Xu Qin and Meng Tian found the ancient road after traveling for half a day. They saw it hidden among the dense green bushes and weeds in early summer. Although it was in disrepair for a long time, it should have been a main road in the Wei Dynasty. The road was very wide and used for three drivers. There is no problem driving the carriages side by side, and it is in the middle of the hills, with shelters on both sides, so marching from the middle can avoid the spies of the officers and soldiers.

"Look, I didn't lie to you, did I?" Xu Qin said proudly.

Only then did Meng Tian let go of his doubts about Xu Qin: "What about your father and elder brother?"

"I'll talk to the general." Xu Qin replied sincerely, "We don't like Hu Hai as emperor too much. Now who can sit firmly in this world depends on his own ability. If the young master takes over Xianyang in the future, I will If you sell well at this time, it will turn into a huge return at that time, it is said that businessmen value profits, and I don’t do business that loses money.”

"You're an interesting person. This is the first time I've seen someone say to their face that they want to watch the fire from the other side and reap the benefits of the fisherman."

"If I come up with some high-sounding words, the general may not believe it, so it's better to tell the truth."

Meng Tian sent his men to continue exploring along the ancient road, and he and Xu Qin returned to the camp first.From then on, Fusu solemnly promised to allow the Great Wall Army to detour through Wen County, and felt that Xu Qin was credited with proposing this unknown secret road, and rewarded him with a lot of extra things.

Therefore, when Xu Qin and the others went there, they had three horses, and when they came back, they brought a carriage full of gifts.After returning to Wen County, Xu Qin told Xu Wang and Xu Xin the good news as soon as possible, and picked out the best gifts from the gifts to distribute to his family members, and sold the rest at the bodyguard bureau.

After confirming that the Fusu army would not attack Wen County, Xu Xin let his younger brother start serving in peace, and Xu Qin became the overseer of the city wall in a serious manner.Although Fusu's army did not come to fight, but considering the troubled times ahead, Xu Qin felt that it was better to increase the height of the city wall and strengthen it.

He spent a few experience points to find some information on the construction of the city wall and other fortifications on the search engine, and applied them to the city wall in a lively and flexible way, mixing ancient and modern.

However, not long after An's birthday, Xu Qin was inspecting a section of the newly reinforced city wall that day, when he suddenly saw Chen Mai running over with his head covered in sweat.

"Why is Ah Mai in such a panic?" Xu Qin asked curiously.

"Big, something's wrong." Chen Mai was already out of breath when he ran in front of Xu Qin, he couldn't even care about breathing, so he immediately pulled Xu Qin's sleeve and said, "A group of officers and soldiers suddenly came to our county government."

"What's so strange about the official army coming?" Now most of Fusu's army has crossed the Yellow River, and it happened to be fighting with the main force of the Qin army on the vast plain south of the river. Some officers and soldiers came to the county government office to handle affairs.

"They were ordered to arrest you!" Chen Mai was in a hurry, "Xu Neg said that she would hold you back over there, so run away quickly."

"Why are they arresting me? What are the charges?" Xu Qin shook his head, "If I leave now, it will hurt my whole family instead."

"This... When Xu negative informed me, I ran in a hurry and didn't know."

"Then let's go back and have a look."

"No, it's too dangerous." Chen Mai dragged Xu Qin out of the city.

"What's the danger?" Xu Qin smiled. "The officers and soldiers don't know me. I don't say I'm Xu Qin. They know who I am?"

The author has something to say: Chen Mai: The wind is tight, run away

Xu Qin: Don't run, don't run, like in ancient portraits, ghosts can recognize me

Han Xin: Eating melons silently
