Xu Ji gave up his hand to Shan Yu's eldest wife and Zhou Yuanbin successively, and said, "Have you seen the county lord of Huanyan in the middle palace? ”

"I've never met, I've had ...... Correspondence. ”

"What about Zhou joining the army?"

Zhou Yuanbin shook his head with a smile, "I haven't seen it, I've heard of some of her deeds." ”

"I have seen it, and I know that the county lord of Huanyan is a person: if she holds the handle of the middle palace in her hand, she will never stay by her side, because the Tiancheng court is shaking, whether it is Yecheng or Yuyang, it is not safe enough, and the distance from the middle palace is close and far away, for the sake of safety, she will hide this handle by the side of the middle palace."

"You just said you were by Shan Yu's side."

"Because the middle palace has always stayed by Shan Yu's side, and Shan Yu is in a hurry to help Xiangyang, there is this brief separation, and I speculate that the handle is closer to Shan Yu, and only in this way can it be guaranteed that it can take effect at any time."

Zhou Yuanbin frowned slightly, and said to his wife: "Why did you write a letter in the first place?" Still saying so much in the letter? ”

Shan Yu's wife snorted.

Zhou Yuanbin didn't dare to say too much, and said to Xu Ji: "Everything is speculation, it's hard for us to believe your words." ”

Xu Ji smiled.

Shan Yu's eldest wife said: "Speculation is just talking, he knows it so clearly, it must have been told to him by the county lord of Huanyan." ”

Zhou Yuanbin nodded again and again, feeling reasonable, and said with a smile: "Lord Huanyan is really ...... to Xu Gongzi Trust, presumably she will also tell you whose hands the letter is. ”

Xu Ji shook his head.

"Xu Gongzi doesn't want to say it?"

"I've told everything I know, and I haven't hidden a word."

Zhou Yuanbin laughed a few times, obviously not believing it, and his wife didn't believe it either, "What do you want, or what Lord Huanyan wants, just say it, don't go too far, I can be satisfied." ”

"What Huan Yan wants, Zhonggong should be very clear."

Shan Yu's wife was silent for a while, "Emperor Tiancheng will not be replaced, and after Shan Yu pacifies Ji and merges the two states, he will not blame Yuyang, is it enough?" ”

"Hmmm......"

"Shan Yu has revealed, if the Zhang family is obedient, they can leave a few counties for them, I can ask for more, half of Jizhou is enough, right?"

Xu Ji nodded, "Lord Huanyan will not be difficult to force others, let alone make excessive demands. ”

Shan Yu's wife sneered, "What about you? ”

"I want to be a strategist of Shan Yu, and my status cannot be lower than that of Kou Daogu."

Shan Yu's wife was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "Why does Mr. Xu want to go far? If you had bowed down to Shan Yu from the beginning, you are now his confidant, and Mr. Kou cannot compare. Even now, as long as you are willing to bow your head, you can still get Shan Yu's appreciation. ”

"What I want is not appreciation, but forgiveness and trust, so I asked for it to the head of the middle palace."

"Huh?"

Zhou Yuanbin knew Xu Ji better, and interjected: "What he means is that he will say something that Shan Yu doesn't like to hear, and the middle palace has to relieve him and let Shan Yu forgive him and trust him." ”

"Thank you Zhou for joining the army." Xu Ji said with a smile.

Shan Yu's wife showed a hint of embarrassment, "This is not a thing, with Mr. Xu's 'eloquence', I'm afraid I have to solve the siege for you often, right?" If it's just too radical rhetoric, it's okay, if Mr. Xu has a ghost in his heart to deceive Shan Yu, I have no choice, even if I guarantee my life, I can't let Shan Yu let you go. ”

"Lord Huanyan and I will not be strong, I just want to save more people and persuade Shan to slaughter the city less."

Hearing this, Shan Yu's wife was a little suspicious and looked at Zhou Yuanbin.

Zhou Yuanbin stepped forward and said: "Xu Gongzi has always had the ambition to help the world, I think I can help him, and it is not harmful for Shan Yu to get the name of Kuanren." ”

"Just persuade Shan Yu to kill less people and slaughter the city?" Shan Yu's wife asked.

Xu Ji nodded, "The general trend of the world, I have my own decision, I can't persuade it, and others can't persuade it, I won't embarrass the Middle Palace in this kind of thing." ”

"Okay. Alas, I made a mistake in the first place...... Later, Zhou Yuanbin will send you to Xiangyang, and I will write a letter to Shan Yu, as long as you don't overdo it, you will be courteous. After seeing Shan Yu, he ...... within a day."

"It will take at least three days."

Shan Yu's eldest wife lowered her eyes and thought for a while, "Within three days, you have to find the letter and ask Zhou Yuanbin to bring it to me, I will remember your merits and ensure that you have no worries for the rest of your life." ”

"I hope that the guarantee of the middle palace can be more."

"What else do you want?" Shan Yu's wife was a little annoyed, and immediately suppressed it, "I swear by the lives of my two sons, if I betray my word, I will take revenge on Mr. Xu and Lord Huanyan afterwards, so that I can watch my two sons die and never have children again for life." ”

Shan Yu's wife's love for twins is well known, Xu Ji arched his hand and said: "From now on, the middle palace is worry-free, and I am also worry-free." ”

"Wait until you find the letter." Shan Yu's wife waved his hand, and Zhou Yuanbin came to Xu Ji, "Please come with me." ”

Outside the tent, Kou Daogu was no longer there, and Zhou Yuanbin shuddered, "It's really cold, it seems to be colder than Jinyang." ”

"When are you leaving?" Xu Ji asked.

"Xu Gongzi has been on the road all night, go to sleep for a while, let's set off in the afternoon, no one will be strong? Right? Zhou Yuanbin said with a smile.

Zhou Yuanbin sent Xu Ji to his tent, "Xu Gongzi wants to persuade Shan Yu to kill less, this is a good thing, Xu Gongzi will also say a few good words for King Jin, right?" ”

"I haven't been trusted by Shan Yu yet."

"Hehe, there is a recommendation from the Middle Palace, Mr. Xu will be reused when he goes."

"No matter how heavy it is, it can't be heavier than King Jin."

"It's not what it used to be, I'm worried that King Jin won't be able to escape this fate."

"Why?"

"Maybe I'm thinking too much, I always feel ...... Shan Yuhui put all the responsibility for the defeat of Xiangyang on the head of King Jin. ”

"Did Zhou Senjun feel that King Jin was deliberately defeated?"

"I didn't say that, it's just such a big defeat, I have to find someone to bear the charge, in short, I hope Mr. Xu can say a few kind words."

"I am sworn brothers with King Jin, of course I won't sit idly by and watch him be killed, but ......"

"If King Jin really has different intentions, and he is singled out to find evidence, it is useless for the Zhonggong relatives to intercede, and I will not force Mr. Xu."

"No one wants to be strong?"

"Haha. Mr. Xu tried to sleep as much as he could, and if he was hungry, he would open his mouth to the servants outside. ”

Zhou Yuanbin took his leave, explained a few words to the servant, and hurried back to Shan Yu's wife's tent.

It was already dawn, the camp was full of people, and a large number of soldiers were about to set off for Xiangyang after a short rest.

At the door of the tent, Zhou Yuanbin and Kou Dao who came out of it were full of arms, although the two knew each other, they had never interacted, they looked at each other, and no one said hello.

Shan Yu's eldest wife was also waiting for Zhou Yuanbin and asked, "When will you leave?" ”

"Afternoon."

"What are you waiting for?"

"I have prepared some gifts for Shan Yu and the kings, but they are not ready yet."

"Is that all you have to do?"

"It's the best trick." Zhou Yuanbin smiled, "What is he doing here?" ”

"Mr. Kou is bent on seeing Xu Ji die in pain, claiming that what Xu Ji said is all a lie, even if the county lord of Huanyan hands over the letter to someone next to Shan Yu, he will not let Xu Ji know that it is useless to leave him, and he will invite disaster."

"The feud between these two is not small."

"Well, so I asked him to wait a few more days."

"Kou Dao is lonely and unwise and brave, nothing more than a reputation for a scholar, why does the Middle Palace ......"

"Hey, don't you know how important 'fame' is? There are many scholars in the Central Plains, and they are not needed when things are done, but their ability to defeat is not small. When he first entered the Central Plains, he didn't get the support of the readers, but he didn't want to be bad by them. Kou Daogu has a good reputation among scholars, and he said, 'There is a world, there is no Huayi', and he is in the middle of the single, this person is not doing anything at present, and he will become a single in the future, so I asked him to be the holy teacher of the two sons. ”

Zhou Yuanbin suddenly realized and said with a smile: "In this way, I will have to have more dealings with him in the future." ”

"Be sure to get the letter here, come back and hand it to me quickly, and I will also go on the road as soon as possible to meet Shan Yu."

"Yes, when I got the letter, I immediately sent it back in its original form. What about Xu? How to dispose of it? ”

"I swear by my two sons, of course I can't touch him."

"If so...... What about others touching him? ”

Shan Yu's eldest wife frowned, "If you get Shan Yu to be reused, who would dare to touch him?" If anyone really dares, it must not be under my control, what can I do? ”

Zhou Yuanbin arched his hand and said: "That's the reason, I went to supervise the loading, and I didn't come to say goodbye to the Middle Palace when I set off." ”

Shan Yu's eldest wife was a little tired, snorted, and admonished: "The Shen family has been defeated, you think more about our Zhou family, and don't care about other people's affairs." ”

"Yes, I understand." Zhou Yuanbin retired.

As soon as noon passed, Xu Ji was called up, ate some food, and boarded the car on the road.

Zhou Yuanbin was a businessman at heart, and he could use anything to do business at any time, and he lent money to many He Rong people, allowing them to repay them with the spoils of war in the future.

This time to raid Hanzhong City, it was many soldiers who did it, but it was Zhou Yuanbin who benefited the most, he selected valuable soft things, loaded ten carts, and each of them had a clear place to go - this was another round of capital for their Zhou family.

Along the way, Zhou Yuanbin was very polite to Xu Ji, traveling in the same car, eating at the same table, gossiping, and never mentioning the task of this trip again.

It is inconvenient to travel in winter, Zhou Yuanbin has many cars and walks more slowly, but fortunately, there are always He Rong cavalry who go to Xiangyang along the way, and there is no danger.

In the evening of that day, the convoy stopped for the night in a dilapidated post station, and it was only a day or two away from He Rong's army in front.

The post station is guarded by several He Rongren and a group of Central Plains soldiers, here is close to Xiangyang, the news is relatively fast, it seems that the single pro-conquest has a great effect, even the battle is victorious, the heroes outside the city are driven back, only a lonely city in Xiangyang is left, left to the Central Plains people who came to the follow-up to conquer.

When Shan Yu first arrived in Xiangyang, he only brought more than 10,000 cavalry, and he was still invincible, and he did not even encounter a few frontal resistance, and most of the heroes fled when they heard the news.

Xu Ji could only sigh in his heart.

Zhou Yuanbin was very happy, "Just because the battle went smoothly, while I am happy, I may not blame King Jin." ”

After the third watch, the people in the post station were already resting, and suddenly someone knocked on the door again, and when they came in, they asked if Zhou Yuanbin was there.

Zhou Yuanbin was called up by several He Rong soldiers, his face was sleepy and confused, and he asked dissatisfiedly: "Who is looking for me?" You guys...... You are ......"

Someone walked in again, lifted the hood, and the face revealed was actually Shan Yu's wife.

"Why is the middle palace here?" Zhou Yuanbin was taken aback and hurriedly got up and put on his coat.

"Someone leaked the news." Shan Yu's wife's expression was unprecedentedly harsh, "Shan Yu is going to investigate the truth personally, and Xu Ji can't stay any longer." ”
