Chapter 210: Lobbyist Xiang Bo

After being dumbfounded, Xiang Bo shouted: "Why do you say this, why do you say this!" ”

Under the premise of recovering Chu, anyone who refuses to belong to the old Chu land, they are the objects of the new Chu's extermination, Xiang admits that he has selfish intentions, but not for the sake of the new Chu!

The Xiang family felt that there was nothing excessive, which clan and which country were not established with blood, and the rise of the aristocracy had always been dependent on the monarch. How could there be no sacrifice in the restoration of Chu, and the Xiang clan, as the leader, could only rely on blood sucking if he wanted to make the Chu State stronger, and the blood of the small armed and small nobles would not be shed, where would the wealth and goods come from after the restoration of the new Chu?

Huan Chu lost his temper, and he shouldn't have said those words to Xiang Bo anyway. However, with Zhu Yu, who was transfused by Lu Zhe, he was really disgusted by the dregs of Xiang's blood-sucking.

If you really have to submit to someone, who wouldn't want to be attached to someone who is willing to give blood to the outside world? Huan Chu really wanted to meet Wu Rui and ask Wu Rui in person what he thought.

"Special envoy, if this is the only thing, please put away the knight's seal and talisman first." Huan Chu looked tired.

Xiang Bo was a little stunned, he and Huan Chu were old acquaintances, and now Huan Chu only called the envoy and not the nickname, and his attitude was cold to the extreme. He seemed to see the envoy sent by Lu Zhe to Lujiang County just now, thought about it for a while, and said, "Brother Huan, but Lu Zhe sent someone to bewitch him?" ”

Calling it by its name is disrespectful. But do you care? Even if Uncle Xiang knew that he would offend people by spreading it, he wouldn't have much scruples. He is a person who often travels in all directions, and has a real judgment of the general trend, and Lu Zhe's influence has risen sharply since he invited the leaders to send envoys to Nanjun, and there is a faint tendency to lead the south. He didn't understand, there was no prominent figure on Lu Zhezu, how could such a person be so unscrupulous and want to command the heroes!

Oh, illustrious ancestors, yes, now is the age of relying on ancestors. The ancestors have never been famous, which is a big disadvantage now. Under normal circumstances, there is no prominent clan that is always unacceptable to the aristocracy, even if that person has great talent or strength, the nobles will subconsciously look down on it. Historically, it was Liu Bang's rise from the market and his slow rise to becoming an emperor that broke this phenomenon.

"Bewitched?" Huan Chu finally looked at Uncle Xiang squarely, "People sent people to admit to attacking my rule." ”

Xiang Bo: "Ha! The ground slapped his thigh: "Sure enough! Bo was also about to tell Brother Huan about his discovery. Zhou Wenyuan fled to Nanjun, and Lu Zhe will definitely have calculations after accepting it. It seems that sending thieves to attack the county capitals of Lujiang County is the beginning, and Zhou Wen leading the troops to return to Lujiang will be the second step. Brother Huan, be careful! ”

This is also one of Huan Chu's heart diseases, he and Zhou Wen have been fighting in Lujiang County for half a year, and the grievances between them have been deep. Lu Zhe took in a lot of people who went to Nanjun, I heard that he was doing the dismantling and reorganization recently, he forced Zhou Wen to flee to Nanjun like a lost dog, it can be said that the grudge is too big, with Zhou Wen under Lu Zhe, he is afraid that Lu Zhe will arm Zhou Wen to return to Lujiang County, so he is in a hurry to occupy the territory left by Zhou Wen.

Many thieves attacked the counties of Lujiang. Huan Chu regarded this as Lu Zhe buying time for Zhou Wen, but he knew this and couldn't turn his face with Lu Zhe, after all, Lujiang County relied on trading with Lu Zhe because of the lack of food due to the war. He had 130,000 troops under his command. Except for about 20,000 weapons, the rest were all holding farm tools or wooden sticks, and more than 3,000 of the 20,000 weapons were traded with Lu Zhe, and that was only a transaction volume of less than two months.

Xiang Bo didn't speak when he saw Huan Chu. He also said: "Brother Huan, Lu Zhe deceived 20,000 soldiers, are you worried about this?" ”

"I sent 20,000 soldiers on my own initiative. It's not a scam. Huan Chu only invited Uncle Xiang to sit down now, the location was Zheng Hao's place just now, and the fruit drinks on it had not been removed. He watched Uncle Xiang swing his sleeves and sit down, and said in a low tone: "The 20,000 soldiers have been armed by Lu Shizhe, and when they are reversed, they ......."

Interrupting very rudely, Xiang Bo waved his arm exaggeratedly: "How can there be any reversal!" The soldiers were in the hands of Lu Zhe, how could he exchange them for Brother Huan? ”

Huan Chu was a little disapproving, at that time, he saw that Wu Rui borrowed troops and was armed by Lu Zhe, so he privately wrote to ask Wu Rui, and Wu Rui replied that there was no oath, which clearly explained that it was a powerful relationship. Lu Zhe borrowed troops in the past to fight, and losses would definitely be caused, so it was not a matter of borrowing as much as he wanted. In addition, borrowing troops is not without collateral, you can choose wealth, weapons, and food, and it is not a kind of empty and white-toothed borrowing, it is just a special point of transaction, and the word "borrow" is just a better look at each other's feelings.

Wealth is of little use now, but weapons and food are things that cannot be desired, and even if the soldiers who have lent out do not return, the weapons and food that are mortgaged are enough. Furthermore, Huan Chu didn't think that Lu Zhe would detain the soldiers, those who do big things cherish their credit the most, how could they lose big because of a small thing.

Xiang Bo didn't know that, he looked left and right, and said mysteriously: "Lu Zhe borrowed troops because there is a big secret!" ”

"Secret?" Huan Chu looked at Uncle Xiang, who was in an exaggerated form, and couldn't help but compare Uncle Xiang with Zheng Hao, Zheng Hao rarely spoke with any body movements, and spoke slowly but loudly, "One has a brilliant atmosphere, and the other looks contrived." Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be stunned, "Why can't I help but compare the two sides?" The so-called two sides are Lu Zhe and Xiang Liang.

"Yes, save a secret!" Xiang Bo looked left and right frequently, there were only him and Huan Chu in the room, and he didn't know what it meant to do this. After a while, he said: "The reason why Lu Zhe borrowed troops is not to march into the Central Plains, but to ......" dragged a syllable from the elder, "It is to deal with the 300,000 Qin troops in Sanchuan County!" ”

His body shook for a moment, and Huan Chu had to concentrate, "Three hundred thousand Qin troops? Lu Zhe is going to war with the Qin army? ”

"Hah!" Xiang Bo had obvious smugness on his face: "Yes, it's just a few subtotals, a war of more than 600,000 people will break out next autumn." ”

I don't know why, Huan Chu was extremely disgusted when he saw Xiang Bo's expression of successful tricks. He can be regarded as reacting now, it turns out that the force that spread many rumors about Lu Zhe some time ago is really the Xiang family.

In Huan Chu's view, the eldest husband grew up in the world and did something, and it was a happy thing to fight each other in order to occupy the territory. He suddenly felt that what Zheng Hao said was right, the Xiang clan's army was full of gloom, and this gloom was different from Lu Zhe's conspiracy to seize Changsha County. Yang conspiracy is not terrible, conspiracy is not prudent, and getting close to those who are accustomed to conspiracy will be calculated and will not end.

“…… The dog jumped over the wall in a hurry to borrow troops, which was enough to see that Lu Zhe was not sure of defeating Xu Yan. Xiang Bo, who was spitting around, fell into a great excitement, so much so that he didn't notice the disgust on Huan Chu's face, "At that time, we were the fishermen who fought with the snipe and the clam for the fisherman's profit. What does Brother Huan think? ”

Huan Chu restrained the disgust on his face, "I'm afraid it's not true, right?" ”

"It must be like that!" Xiang Bo was waving his arms again, and his sleeves were scratching around on the long case, "How long has Lu Zhe been in the army?" There are no famous generals under his command. Xu Yan is the Lantian general of the Qin State, and he has trained soldiers for most of his life, which is not something that Lu Zhe can resist. My Xiang clan is different, since my ancestors have been the general of the Chu State, and the background is on par with Xu Yan, with the addition of more than 100,000 brothers Huan, 300,000 troops to attack the defeated side, how can there be any difficulty! ”

"Hmm!" Huan Chu didn't care about anything else, Xiang Bo's sentence "There is no famous general under Lu Zhe" can be regarded as listening. He stood up slowly, "Brother Xiang, Chu suddenly felt sleepy, please forgive me!" As he spoke, he turned around and entered the inner room.

Xiang Bo's face was inexplicable, and he didn't react until Huan Chu's figure disappeared.

What's going on? Isn't it a good talk, and Xiang Bo thinks that Huan Chu has obtained the title of Shangzhu State and has been awarded the rank of second general is already the second person in the New Chu military, it stands to reason that this is already a great courtesy, and there is no reason for Huan Chu to oppose it.

Didn't achieve the goal, thinking about where the wrong place Xiang Bo got out of Huan Chu's house and kept his head down, and unnoticed that he bumped into someone, "The dog is ......", as soon as the words were scolded, he looked up and saw a smiling face, a smiling face belonging to Zheng Hao.

"General Xiang, Hao is rude, rude!" Zheng Hao's apology etiquette was impeccable, and he didn't wait for Uncle Xiang to react, "Come on, bring the gift prepared for General Xiang." ”

Xiang Bo, who reacted, habitually showed a smiling face, and when he was about to speak, he felt happy when he heard the word "gift" from his bone marrow, and saw four strong men struggling to carry a box. Waiting for the box to be lifted to reveal something shining with a brilliant metallic light, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide and inhale: "Envoy Zheng, ...... is this?" ”

"Alas, Fang Caihao didn't pay attention and accidentally bumped into the envoy, this is a gift of apology." Zheng Hao's posture was very low, and he bent down to apologize again.

There are at least five hundred gold in the box, and Xiang Bo is notoriously greedy for money, even if he feels wrong, he feels distressed when he looks at Jin Cancan's belongings. However, his attitude is to be made out: "Just a gift of apologies, nothing else?" ”

"Yes!" Zheng Hao said categorically: "It's just a gift of apology." ”

"Huh?! Well, it would be rude for Nabo not to take it. Xiang Bo wanted to say more, but when he saw Zheng Hao salute again and turn around, he was stunned for a while: "What do you mean?" Isn't it to ease the relationship between the two families and want me to help say a few kind words before giving gifts? ”

Uncle Xiang, who didn't understand what the situation was, ordered the box to be carried onto the carriage, and he climbed on it and sat down with his dexterity, and immediately urged the groom to leave.

Zheng Hao hid in the corner and watched Uncle Xiang leave, and he thought to himself: "If it is really as the Lord said, Uncle Xiang will not refuse to come." He turned his head and asked the attendant next to him: "The scene just now was seen by Huan Chu's elder, right?" ”

The attendant replied, "It's very detailed." ”

Zheng Hao smiled weirdly, he waited so long to make a scene, how could he not find out? After laughing, I left in a happy mood. (To be continued......)
