Ying Bu smiled bitterly, "It's better than Xiang Yu, where you are. I know your talents and wisdom. The reason why your official career is not good is because you offended Xiang Yu. He hates personal grudges. At this moment, your failure should be because you don't have the chance to make meritorious service, right? I know the 21st-class military title of Qin."

Lu Matong said, "So what, I can't go out to fight." Ying Bu smiled, "Don't worry, I have an idea to ensure that both of us can gain a foothold in Qin."

Lu Matong said excitedly, "You say you should take down Xingyang, tell me, that is the greatest contribution. Those who get Xingyang will be granted the title of marquis. This is the promise of the King of Qin. Ah, you don't need to be granted the title of marquis. I heard that you are the King of Huainan now." Yingbu beat the snake and followed the stick and said, "Yes, so I just brought a meeting gift. The so-called title of marquis must be your Lu Matong."

Lu Matong's family had six generations of poor peasants, and he had never even had a pavilion chief. He was very happy to be a small commander of the imperial guards. However, according to his ability, if someone promoted him, he would be more than enough to be a general. I heard that Ying Bu could make him a marquis, Lu Matong happily tied his tongue; "You said, what do you want me to help you? As long as it was not rebelling for the King of Qin."

Yingbu sighed, "It turns out that you still can't believe me. How could I, Yingbu, rebellion with the King of Qin again? I really don't mean that. I mean, I have a way to take Xingyang, but I want you to do a big favor, but it is very dangerous and may die. Wealth and honor are in danger. Brother, do you dare?"

"Dare! A real man stands between heaven and earth. If he cannot make achievements and is famous in history, what is the difference between it and plants? Even if he dies, I, Lu Matong, will do whatever he wants."

Ying Bu picked his thumb and said, "Sure enough, I read it right. I will tell you the plan. I want to let you go to Xingyang City as an insider."

Lu Matong said he didn't understand what Yingbu meant; "Let me go to Xingyang City to be an insider. I have been missing for so long. Can Tu Gangqiu trust me?" Ying Bu said; "So, this is very dangerous. Not only may he not trust you, but it is very likely that the Chu State has already known that you surrendered to the Qin Dynasty, so you are in danger of your life."

Lu Matong pondered for a moment and asked firmly, "Then, what do you want me to do?" Ying Bu said; "If you can gain Tu Gangqiu's trust, then I will attack Xingyang City from the West Gate the day after tomorrow, and you just open the city gate. This is very simple." Lu Matong knew that it was indeed very simple to gain trust, but if you don't have trust, it might be a dead end. The key is that Tu Gangqiu is not easy to deceive.

However, just as Ying Bu said that wealth and honor are in danger, who would rather be a lieutenant in life? As long as he can be a marquis, his descendants will be a gentry, and he will not have to worry about it for generations.

Lu Matong was unwilling to give up this opportunity; "But the King of Qin did not issue an order to let me leave the city." Ying preached; "It's easy. I'll go in front of the King of Qin and will come back in a while. You can prepare first, find a piece of shabby and tattered clothes to wear, dress like a refugee, and prepare to leave the city and go to Xingyang."

Lu Matong smiled bitterly, "If I could see Tu Gangqiu, I would be confident that I would be able to gain trust. I am Xiang Yu's good friend since childhood, and no one would doubt me. I am afraid that before I arrived in Xingyang, I was shot to death by the Chu soldiers." Ying Bu only said one sentence; "Leave it to fate. Everything is determined by heaven, and it is impossible to do anything. But, I wish I could say frankly, I will see your appearance and keep going, and I have some nobleness."

Although Lu Matong knew that Yingbu was comforting him, his heart was still warm. He thought that he would be able to be a marquis soon, and his muscles were pounding excitedly. Yingbu patted Lu Matong on the shoulder and told him not to panic, and then turned around to the Qin King's palace. At the door, Yingbu met Wang Ao who had just walked out. Based on the unspoken rules in the officialdom, Yingbu, who had just arrived, did not hide his thoughts from Wang Ao, and said to him first, Wang Ao said selflessly, "It's great, the King of Huainan is both wise and brave, and he will definitely make achievements this time. The king goes in and reports first, and I will come later." Yingbu nodded in his heart. Wang Ao is indeed a gentleman, unlike some people who like to steal the limelight and greedy for the achievements of heaven.

Ying Bu saw Wang Zhu and gave a great gift. Wang Zhu also accepted it calmly. As mentioned earlier, Wang Zhu will sooner or later become emperor, and he will have to distance himself from these "kings".

Ying Bu stood up and said, "Master, the last general has already thought of a plan to defeat the enemy, so he will report back and forth the king."

Wang Zhu was very happy: "I thought of a solution so soon. It's great. Xiang Yu's army has left Pengcheng and will arrive in a few days. I have ordered King Peng Yue of Liang to try to intercept him for three or five days. We only have ten days in total. I was still anxious about this just now."

Ying Bu said the plan he discussed with Lu Matong. Wang Zhu nodded repeatedly: "It's indeed a good game of chess, and it's hard to think of it for you, but it's very dangerous." Wang Zhu was worried that Yu Ji would not agree, but he didn't say it. Anyway, Lu Matong recommended herself, and it had nothing to do with him if she died.

Ying preached; "Lu Matong and Tu Gangqiu have a characteristic of being a person, being loyal and honest. They were once close friends and had known each other for a long time longer than other generals of Chu. If there was no news leaked, they would definitely defeat the enemy this time." I thought to myself, just don't be hacked to death by the rioters halfway.

Wang Zhu said; "If this happens, let him set off immediately, when do you plan to attack?" Ying said; "In order to avoid the long night and dreams, in the night three days later, one battle can be determined by a battle." Wang Zhu said; "Okay, tell Lu Matong that after the matter is completed, he will be the Marquis of Boyang."

Ying Bu was overjoyed and thought to himself that the King of Qin was really a generous boss. If Xiang Yu had never been so happy.

Ying Bu didn't understand the trick here. Due to his life experience, Xiang Yu lived a very poor life since childhood, so he hated the rich and was a little stingy, and refused to let go with gold and silver. However, whether it was Qin Ershi Ying Hu Hai or the leader's son Wang Zhu, they were all from rich families. They were idle all day long, and they spent money like soil. They never took any gold and silver seriously. They were naturally much more enjoyable than Xiang Yu.

Yingbu walked out and turned back. Wang Zhu put down the bamboo slips and asked strangely, "Why are you back?" Yingbu pondered for a moment, but said, "Big King, this-" he looked up at Wang Zhu who was tall and above. "My general thinks it is better for the king to not let Yu Ji and Xiang Yu meet."

Wang Zhu didn't expect that he suddenly put forward this sentence and asked hurriedly, "You have met Yu Ji." After thinking again, he saw Lu Matong, of course he had met Yu Ji, so what's the point of asking about this?

Ying preached, "I've seen it, and I've said something. I'm sorry, I'm not suitable to see Xiang Yu again. Xiang Yu's temper is the most understandable. What he can't tolerate the most is betrayal. If his subordinates betray him, he will kill them all, and kill them, let alone his own concubines. He will definitely kill them and destroy them."

Wang Zhu never thought about this, but he had already had an idea. When he agreed to Yu Ji, he had his own ideas. Instead of letting Yu Ji sleep with him and have different dreams, it would be better to let him completely give up on Xiang Yu. As for Xiang Yu to take Yu Ji's life, there is no need to worry. Don't we still have bulletproof vests?

Wang Zhu said lightly, "This is the Empress's personal matter, and I can't ask about it. Since she must meet, then go and meet her. After seeing this, she will give up." Ying Bu was anxious and wanted to say something, but Wang Zhu had already closed the bamboo slips and picked up the teacup.

This is clearly expelling guests. After so many years of being in the officialdom, how could Ying Bu not see this? He said nervously; "Then, Mo Jiang will surrender, and Mo will take Lu Matong out of the city." Wang Zhu nodded slightly; "Tell him to be careful. I heard that Chu General Tu Gangqiu is a delicate person."

Ying preached; "Don't worry, the last words will definitely be brought to you."

Ying Bu returned to Yu Ji's place, and Lu Matong was already anxious and impatient. As soon as Ying Bu entered the door, he went over and held Ying Bu's hand and said, "King of Huainan, what's going on."

Ying Bu said arrogantly with a tone of being kind to Lu Matong, "It's done, you can go out of the city now. Aren't you asking you to change your clothes? Why is it still a brocade robe and jade belt?" Lu Matong said; "I've searched for it again. In half an hour, I will definitely go out of the city."

Ying preached; "The king said, please be careful about Tu Gangqiu, that man is a fine person." Lu Matong's eyes turned red; "Thank you for me, and I said, "I, Lu Matong, have recorded it."

Ying Bu followed Lu Matong out of the south gate of the city, watched his back disappear from sight, and then turned back. He immediately went to see Chenggao's guard Fan Kuai, and mobilized 30,000 infantry and 20,000 cavalry to him, preparing to attack the city in three days. Fan Kuai was puzzled by this, but the king issued an order and he had to provide it.

After leaving Chenggao, Lu Matong quickly crossed the river and came to the outskirts of Xingyang City. The Chu army defending by the river almost shot him to death. Fortunately, Lu Matong opened his mouth and spoke fluently with a "bird song". The Chu army released the guy who was tattered, scratched and bloody.

When Lu Matong came, he deliberately didn't eat. When he arrived on the other side of the river, he had already had three meals and had no food. He was so hungry that he looked like stars on his chest and his back. In addition, he was rowing in the river, and his energy was exhausted. His legs and arms all softened into noodles. As soon as he got ashore, he knelt on the ground and couldn't get up.

The soldier guarding the river greeted his butt with his heels wearing combat boots and said loudly, "Beggar, why are you here? What are you here? Is it a spy from the Qin army? Tell me quickly, or you will be stabbed to death with a spear." Dozens of soldiers came over immediately with a grin and surrounded the falling Lu Matong in the middle. In an instant, they were hit by dozens of kicks in the front and back of their chests and backs. Lu Matong could only make a connection; "Don't beat, don't beat, I'm from Wuzhong, I'm from Chu, brothers, do you have Wujun here? I'm from the eight thousand soldiers!"

The eight thousand soldiers are a well-known name among the Chu army. Everyone knows that these eight thousand people are the lifeblood of Xiang Yu, the king of Chu, and the real elite troops of the ace. These people eat and use better than ordinary Chu army, have higher status, and are extremely powerful in combat. They are the leaders in the entire corps, and no one can afford to offend them.

"You said you are a Chu soldier?" One soldier heard that Lu Matong was indeed a Wuzhong accent, and hurriedly dispersed the soldiers who were beating Lu Matong, lowered his head and said, "Give him some water."

After drinking the water, Lu Matong seemed to have recovered some of his mind and said unhappily, "Are there any brothers from eight thousand soldiers here? They all recognize me. My name is Lu Matong!" In order to look a little embarrassed, Lu Matong applied blood and mud on his face, dirty, unkempt, and unable to see his appearance.

"Ma Tong, Ma Tong, it's really you--" A fellow Wu Zhong who rushed over after hearing the news finally recognized Lu Ma Tong.

Lu Matong was stunned for a moment and shouted, "Little Russian, it's you, I am Lu Matong, I am Lu Matong, it's great to see you."

The little Russian was obviously a small officer in this team, probably a sergeant. He went over to support Lu Matong's shoulders, turned around and roared at the rude soldiers just now, "Damn it, you dare to fight, brothers of the overlord, you have grown a few heads, and they will all jump into the river and commit suicide."

When the soldiers heard that they had caused trouble, they were very scared and hurriedly knelt on the ground to plead with mercy. Lu Matong thought to himself, it would be better to have less trouble than to have more things. I am not here to show off my power. "Forget it, forget it, I can't blame all brothers for this matter. They are also loyal to their duties. I heard that General Tu Gangqiu is here, right? I want to see him."

The little Russian said, "Ma Tong, you have been there for so long. Has the Overlord sent you out to find out what news? Why are you so embarrassed?" Lu Ma Tong made a painful expression that was hard to describe and sighed. The little Russian shouted immediately, "Go quickly, get wine and meat, feed him first."

Lu Matong had eaten and drank enough, recovered some strength, sat for a while, and felt that he could speak, so he pulled the little Russian and said, "Brother, it's really, really, it's hard to describe it. Let's find a place where no one talks. This matter is quite confidential."

The little Russian thought that Lu Matong must have been sent out by Xiang Yu to inquire about some information. Of course, he did not dare to let these soldiers hear it, so he followed Lu Matong to his tent.

At first, Lu Matong told him the truth, saying that the Chu King sent him to attack him in Xianyang. What he was going to do, he said, this must not be said. The little Russian dared not ask. Lu Matong was sure that no one knew about Xiang Yu's sending him to kill Yu Ji. Even if someone knew, it was nothing more than a father. Not to mention a little Russian, even Tu Gangqiu would know nothing. Then Lu Matong fabricated some of the sufferings he suffered when he was a spy in Xianyang City. He made up the nose and eyes, which made the little Russian sad and teased him up, and then he talked about how he went through so much hardship, begging for food all the way, and returned to Xingyang, and finally added another sentence.

"Is General Tu Gangqiu here? I found out the top secret information of a Qin army and needed to meet the general immediately."

The little Russian said, "I will go and say to the general immediately, "You drink, eat meat and sleep first, and when you wake up, I will come back too."
