When Bei Gongyu heard this, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, Lieutenant Zhang, this matter will be taken care of by me."

Zhang Qigong nodded, then seemed to have thought of something, and said seriously: "After you leave this time, you might as well ask Yang Ji to contact me next time. Sir Mi Rui is already suspicious of your appearance today... Hey, it's my fault too.

, I should have warned you in advance.”

『??』

Bei Gongyu looked puzzled and asked: "Master Mi Rui has suspicions?...What are you suspicious of?"

Having said this, he immediately remembered Zhang Qigong's 'warning' in that secret letter, and said puzzledly: "Speaking of this, I am really confused about this matter. Why does Zhang Duwei think that Master Mi Rui will see through your and my intentions?"

?”

"Why do you think so?"

An even more puzzled expression appeared on Zhang Qigong's face, and he frowned and said, "Don't you think that Lord Mi Rui is a woman with a delicate mind and a very deep city?"

"Huh?" Bei Gongyu opened his mouth, looked at Zhang Qigong in disbelief and asked, "Captain Zhang, why did you come to this conclusion?"

"Why did you come to this conclusion?" Zhang Qigong glanced at Bei Gongyu and told Bei Gongyu everything about when he met Mi Rui, and then added: "She has been spying on me recently.

Just like today, when she learned that you were coming to visit, she came to see you specifically to confirm your identity."

"..."

Bei Gongyu opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer the question.

After a long time, he said tactfully: "Lord Captain, Beizhi disagrees... Beizhi feels that Lord Mi Rui just came to see Beizhi and see if there is any news from her sister."

"You think too simply!" Zhang Qigong shook his head and said.

Bei Gongyu suppressed a smile and said: "No, no, I think Captain Zhang may be thinking too much..."

"You mean I guessed wrong?" Zhang Qigong was stunned when he heard this, and then said arrogantly: "Beigong, has Zhang made a wrong judgment in these years?"

"this……"

Upon hearing this, Bei Gongyu hesitated.

After all, in his eyes, the Captain Zhang in front of him was extremely ruthless in his calculations and very accurate in judging people, and he almost never made wrong judgments.

"...Could it be that I really underestimated that Lord Mi Rui?"

Thinking of this, Bei Gongyu frowned and said: "However, when he came to the humble position, Your Majesty kept calling Master Mi Rui as a silly girl."

Hearing this, Zhang Qigong shook his head helplessly and said: "That's just a term of endearment. If you don't talk about it from afar, let's just say that I, the king of the Wei Dynasty, the late king once laughed and called your majesty a 'bad son' in front of everyone, but who

Do you doubt His Majesty's great talents and strategies?...So, one claim is not enough evidence."

"Yes, is that so?"

Bei Gongyu stammered. He was originally quite confident in his evaluation of Mi Rui, but after hearing what Zhang Qigong said, he inevitably became a little doubtful.

"Think about the Empress, Master Mi Rui. She is the Empress's younger sister. Her elder sister has great plans for the city. How can her younger sister be so bad?" Zhang Qigong said confidently.

"This...what Lord Captain said does make some sense."

Bei Gongyu lost his previous confidence and nodded hesitantly.

That night, Bei Gongyu stayed overnight at the residence of Ba Man, the general of Ba State.

The next day, he left Jiangzhou with his black crows and returned to Langzhong.

After staying in Langzhong for several days, Bei Gongyu kept paying attention to the movements of the Qin army.

Just as Zhang Qigong and he had judged, because the Fan family rejected the Qin army, the Qin army could only grit its teeth and attack Jianshan, and failed repeatedly due to the terrain.

After waiting and watching for a while, Bei Gongyu felt that the Qin army had suffered so many defeats and its patience must have been worn out. So he left Langzhong under the pretext of preparing military equipment, disguised himself and went to the territory of the Xiang clan.

After preparing all the necessary items, he pretended to be an envoy from the State of Qin and asked to see Xiang Bin, the leader of the Xiang clan.

At this time, Fan Lie, the leader of the Fan clan, had already sent people to tell Xiang Bin, the leader of the Xiang clan, about the "Qin Army's entry", hoping that the latter would be more vigilant and send troops to garrison Bashan.

It's a pity that Xiang Bin doesn't care much about this.

But today, he suddenly heard that an envoy from the Qin State came to see him. Xianglin couldn't help being surprised and quickly sent someone to invite Bei Gongyu and his party into the palace.

When he met Xiang Bin, Bei Gongyu had changed his appearance and pretended that he was a minister who was relegated by Lantian Jun Ying and that he came specially from Xianyang, the capital of Qin State.

After hearing this, Xianglin asked in confusion: "Your Excellency comes from Xianyang, not your country's army?"

Of course Bei Gongyu knew which side of the Qin army Xiang Bin was referring to. Hearing this, he smiled and said: "No, no, no, it is the generals' business to lead troops to fight, but it is our business to negotiate with foreign countries. The two sides have nothing to do with it."

put one's oar in."

He spoke so eloquently that Xiang Bin would not doubt Bei Gongyu's identity.

Even the slightest suspicion before was dispelled by Bei Gongyu's description of Qin's treasures - think about it, with the close relationship between Wei and Qin in the past, Bei Gongyu, as the right captain of Tiance Mansion,

How could the second-in-command not know the situation of Qin?

After dispelling his doubts about Bei Gongyu, Xiang Bin asked about the former's reason for coming.

So Bei Gongyu said: "We, the Qin Dynasty, want to conquer the Kingdom of Shu, but the Jianshan Mountain is steep and difficult to navigate. I hope you can allow our soldiers of the Qin Dynasty to set foot in Langzhong and send troops from Langzhong to attack the Kingdom of Shu."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Bin laughed loudly and said, "Did the envoy find the wrong person? If your country wants to garrison troops in Langzhong, it should look for the Fan family, not my Xiang family."

Bei Gongyu shook his head after hearing this, and based on his understanding of the Fan family, he said in a deep voice: "The Fan family in Langzhong has rejected the goodwill of our great Qin, and even insulted her." At this point, he raised his head and looked at me.

Xiang Bin said in a deep voice: "If the leader can help me, Da Qin, capture Langzhong, I, Da Qin, are willing to help you become the king of Ba."

This sudden sentence made Xiang Bin's expression suddenly change. He frowned and asked Beigong Yudao: "I'm afraid what you said is not appropriate."

Bei Gongyu said with a smile: "I have no intention of driving a wedge between you and the Fan family. I am just stating what is needed. What's more... I, the Qin Dynasty, have also heard about the disputes within your country, so why should the leader hide it?

?" Having said this, he said seriously: "We, the Qin Dynasty, only want Langzhong. If the leader is willing to help us, the Qin Dynasty, to win Langzhong, we, the Qin Dynasty, will help the leader to become the king of Ba. We will never break his promise!"

Xiang Bin thought for a moment after hearing this.

As Zhang Qigong guessed, after receiving Chu Shuijun's promise, Xiangbin became more and more ambitious to replace Ba Shi, but he still had concerns. After all, he was not sure. Chu Shuijun and Pingyu Jun Xiong Hu,

Who is more powerful among these two people in Chu State?

Because of this, after learning that Lord Pingyu Xiong Hu had entered Jiangzhou, Xiang Bin inevitably had concerns in his heart.

Unexpectedly, Qin sent envoys to negotiate with him.

“Only Langzhong?”

After thinking for a while, Xiang Bin asked in a deep voice.

Bei Gongyu nodded and said with a smile: "As long as Langzhong!"

"good!"

Xiang Lin nodded and agreed: "But you must."

Don't think that Xiang Bin is so easy to deceive. In fact, he may not be willing to fulfill his promise in the future. He just needs to use Qin's troops to attack the Ba family and fight the army under the command of Xiong Hu, the Pingyu Lord who supports the Ba family.

According to Bei Gongyu's request, the two parties made a contract, and then Xiangbin sent an envoy to follow Bei Gongyu to Hanzhong to negotiate with the commander-in-chief of the Qin army.

During this period, Bei Gongyu deliberately sent someone to reveal the news of "Fan's collusion with the Qin army" to the Fan family, and reminded Fan Lie that Fan Bu and his son would intercept and kill him, the "Qin envoy."

As expected, Fan Lie was furious when he learned about this incident and immediately sent his son Fan Bu to intercept and kill the Qin envoy.

After that, Bei Gongyu deliberately asked Fan Bu, the general of the Black Crows, to lead Fan Bu to the soldiers of the Xiang clan who were escorting him. During the melee between the two sides, he and his Black Crows directed and performed the scene in which the Qin envoy was killed.

Before his death, Bei Gongyu handed over the contract he signed with Xiang Lin to the envoy of the Xiang clan, and asked the latter to take the contract with him and flee to the Qin army in Hanzhong, and tell the Qin army's commander about it.

.

Xiang's envoy didn't know the truth. After Bei Gongyu faked his death and escaped, he followed the instructions and fled to Hanzhong with the contract, and presented the contract to the Qin army commander, Changxinhou Wangjian.

Wang Jian felt puzzled because he had not heard that Xianyang sent envoys to negotiate with the Xiang clan.

I want to confirm it, but I can't confirm it. After all, the 'Qin envoy' has been killed by the soldiers of the Fan clan.

Although Wang Jian immediately sent people back to Xianyang to seek confirmation from Xianyang, it would take at least a few months to go back and forth. Are these few months just wasted?

After much thought, Wang Jian picked up the contract again.

Although he was still not sure whether the envoy from Xianyang really reached an agreement with the Xiang clan, after repeatedly reviewing the contract, he did not think that this move was harmful to his country of Qin.

Therefore, according to this contract, he reached an agreement with the Xiang clan and secretly sent tens of thousands of Qin troops to the territory of the Xiang clan to help the Xiang clan attack other Ba tribes.

During this period, Wang Jian also put forward his request, that is, he asked Xiang Bin to attack Langzhong first in the name of his Xiang clan.

Whether Wang Jian can be defeated or not is not required, but at the very least, he must make the Xiang clan the public enemies of the Ba Kingdom, so as to avoid being forced to cross the river and demolish the bridge.

Xiang Bin agreed to Wang Jian's additional request.

In this way, Zhang Qigong and Bei Gongyu successfully brought the Xiang clan into line with the Qin State, greatly boosting the Xiang clan's ambition to replace the Ba clan.

And once the Xiang clan attacks Ba clan, the Chu army under Pingyu Jun Xiong Hu will immediately enter the country to help Ba clan.
