Chapter 229: The Wind of Time

Guo Shifeng did not immediately enter the city to meet King Wu, but walked around the camp for a while and turned into an inconspicuous tent.

The man in the tent was writing a letter, and when he heard the noise, he looked up, did not speak, and continued to write at his desk.

Guo Shifeng was not polite, walked up to this person, watched silently, nodded for a while, hmmmm, and shook his head again.

"Mr. Sun really wants to do this?"

Sun Yalu was a strategist brought by Wang Tiemei from Jizhou, wrote the last few words, put down the pen, and replied: "This can only be done, I am entrusted by the county lord and cannot watch the king of Xiangdong be killed." ”

Guo Shifeng smiled: "I have known Mr. Sun for many years, and I have never seen Mr. Sun so loyal to one person - still a woman. ”

When Sun Yalu traveled the world in his early years, he worked with Guo Shifeng for a period of time in the Guangling Palace, admired each other, and became friends.

Sun Yalu said: "I know what Mr. Guo is thinking, but I am not that kind of person, not to mention that at this age, I have long lost that kind of mind." The county lord knows talents, and I am willing to contribute talents, that's all. ”

"Hehe, age doesn't mean anything, someone is much older than Mr. Sun, and there are a group of wives and concubines at home, and they want to get a few more."

"General?" Sun Yalu immediately guessed who it was.

Guo Shifeng smiled and nodded.

"At the chance of life and death, his nature still does not change?"

"If you don't change, you seem to be more persistent. The loneliness in the army is especially unbearable for the generals. ”

"Well, that's fine, at least we don't have to bother figuring out whether the general is worthy of assistance, and there is less trouble."

"Mr. Sun has recognized the county lord?"

The ink was dry, Sun Yalu folded the letter lightly, nodded and said, "Yes, I recognized it when I was still in Yecheng." ”

"No regrets?"

"What's there to regret?"

"If Mr. Sun had been willing to persuade Wang Tiemei to keep the appointment and join the Jin army, there would not be so much chaos now."

"Not really. I have been to Jinyang and met the father and son of the Shen family, Shen Mushou is too cautious, and Shen Wugongzi is too confident, and it is difficult to die well. ”

"The county lord is a woman, can he die well?"

"The county lord understands her weakness and does not force it, she will choose a suitable husband and show up for her."

"Lou Ji? It's just a gentleman, let him show up, it's better for the county lord to go out in person. ”

"It's not him."

Guo Shifeng was slightly stunned, "Could it be...... It's impossible, Mo said that he had become king, but when he was clothed, he refused to be at the mercy of women. ”

"Not even him."

"Who's that? I'm a little curious. ”

"The time has not yet come, I can't leak it at will, and the county lord has not yet made a final decision. Mr. Guo went to Yecheng and would see it with his own eyes sooner or later. ”

Guo Shifeng smiled and said nothing.

Sun Yalu said: "What? Mr. Guo doesn't want to go to Yecheng? ”

"It's not that I don't want to, it's just ...... Mr. Sun never considered King Wu? ”

Sun Yalu took a deep breath and thought for a moment, "King Wu will not be able to do anything. ”

"What's wrong with King Wu?"

"King Wu is wise and brave, but he is too smart, no matter how big or small, he must see through and see through."

"Isn't that good?"

"He sees through everything and sees through everything, how do his subordinates do things? The so-called water to the clear is no fish, people to observe there are no disciples, I think the king of Wu will be destroyed on the unused, even if the eastern capital is held, it will not last long. ”

Guo Shifeng snorted, "It seems to be an exaggeration to say that King Wu is unavailable." ”

"Mr. Guo intends to take refuge in King Wu?"

"I was still thinking about it, and I was hesitant, so I came to Mr. Sun to discuss."

Sun Yalu said with a smile: "Mr. Guo, who has always looked at people accurately and can go up and down with the world, even has times when he is hesitant. ”

"Haha, so it's not easy to go up and down with the world at all, it's rare, it's rare."

"If you want to be King Wu's subordinate, you have to put together what you think in your heart, and even so, you may not be able to get King Wu's trust. Is Mr. Guo really going to reveal everything? ”

"I just have a headache about this matter, King Wu has seen that some of the kings have secretly sent officers and soldiers, and ordered me to investigate, and I will give him a letter before the evening."

Sun Yalu put the letter into the letter, "If Mr. Guo is really assisting King Wu, it is best to tell the truth, otherwise, he will definitely be able to see that you are lying." ”

"Alas, King Wu is also a strategist, it's really hard to deceive. Isn't the county lord so strict with Mr. Sun? ”

"I give advice to the county lord, and the county lord does what he says, for example, now, I can decide how to deal with the general on my own, without waiting for her orders. Rightly or wrongly, I know I won't be blamed by the county lord. ”

"The county lord wouldn't be so gullible to everyone, would he?"

"The lord will give you two chances: the first time you were deceived, she said that she was at fault, and she did not do things properly, so that the Magi had two hearts. The second time she was deceived, she said that the fault was on both sides. The third time, she'll kill you. ”

"Haha, two times is too little for me. How many times has Mr. Sun used the opportunity? ”

"Haven't used it once."

"It's enviable to trust each other and trust each other." Guo Shifeng pointed to the letter in Sun Yalu's hand, "Do you really plan to give up the Eastern Capital and lead your troops back to Yecheng?" ”

"The eastern capital has become a chicken rib, if Yecheng can be recaptured in one fell swoop a few days ago, it can still rely on this to order the world, and now there is no benefit, it can't be taken down, the loss of troops and the generals, take it down, and make a wedding dress for others. It is better to go back and keep the troops in order to last a long time. ”

"What is the longevity of Yecheng?"

"Huai and Wu in the south, He Rong in the north, annex the state in the west, and then watch the world in the future."

"Huaizhou has the Sheng family, Wuzhou has Liang and Lan, all of them are fierce rivals, how can Yecheng connect with them?"

"Liang and Lan are incompetent, there is nothing to be afraid of, the two will inevitably fight for power, and if they are a little separated, they can break their momentum without blood. At the beginning of the Sheng family, he had to throw himself into Jiangdong, or he would be disappointed in a short time, and Yecheng would reward him with great consolation, and he would win his heart. ”

"Maybe the Sheng clan will also set up their own king."

Sun Yalu smiled: "If that's the case, it's not too late to find a way." ”

Guo Shifeng thought for a while, "He Rong married the king of Jibei, so he supported Yecheng, and the county lord 'north of He Rong', that is, to keep the king of Jibei?" ”

"The king of Xiangdong and Jibei are not water and fire, they can coexist." Sun Yalu paused for a moment, "At least we can coexist now." ”

"Well, I see. But the little prince died, who does Yecheng plan to use to inherit the unification? Are you really looking for an illegitimate prince of the Emperor of All Things? ”

"The county lord has thought of this question for a long time, and he already has an idea, forgive me for not divulging it, if Mr. Guo is willing to go back to Yecheng with me, he can ask him face to face, and the county lord will definitely answer truthfully."

"Let me think about it a little longer."

"Mr. Guo can think about it for as long as he wants, there is only one thing, your reputation is not very good, if you want to defect to Yecheng, you have to be sincere, and you can't repeat it."

"I thought I had two chances too." Guo Shifeng said with a smile.

"You do have two chances, but the first chance has been used on too many people, and there is only one left when you get to the county lord."

Guo Shifeng nodded with a smile, bowed his hand, and turned around when he was about to reach the door: "The general wants to make a mutiny, kill the king of Xiangdong first, and then kill Wang Tiemei, and send Lou Ji to seize Yecheng in the name of mourning." Mr. Sun has decided to retire from the army, and he doesn't need me to remind him, but he wants to do it as soon as possible, just in case he has too many dreams at night. Please also greet the county lord on my behalf, saying that I am very concerned about this only one chance left, and I will not use it unless necessary. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Guo. Please also greet King Wu on my behalf, Yecheng's attack on the eastern capital is in line with the times, and there is no personal enmity in it. Now that the situation has changed, Yecheng has withdrawn, and King Wu can rest assured. The Quartet is disturbed, and the eastern capital is the first to bear the brunt, if King Wu needs help in the future, as long as the conditions are right, Yecheng will not refuse. ”

"Noted down. What should Wang Tiemei do? Is he willing to retire? ”

Sun Yalu let out a long hum, "He has used up all his opportunities. ”

Guo Shifeng didn't say anything more, went back to his tent, and also wrote a letter, found a familiar military slave, bribed him with money, and asked him to go out of the camp at night, and be sure to deliver the letter to the King of Jin with his own hands.

Guo Shifeng couldn't see which mountain was high, so he had to worship each mountain.

But at the moment, he felt that King Wu was a little taller, at least inside and outside the Eastern Capital, stronger than others, and he had to observe this assertion again.

Guo Shifeng had made up his mind, went out of the camp in the dark, rode to the eastern capital alone, and did not go to the west gate, which he often walked, but went straight to the north gate.

The north gate was originally guarded by the king of Ning, and now it has been replaced by the king of Shu.

Guo Shifeng came to call the door, claiming that he was a scout sent by the righteous army, and there was news that he wanted to meet the king of Shu.

The city gate opened a crack, Guo Shifeng led the horse in, his dress did not look like a scout at all, but the general who opened the door did not ask any questions, held a torch to look at him, led the way, and took him to the residence of the king of Shu.

It was still early, Gan Zhao did not sleep, and discussed military affairs with a group of generals, and when he heard the report, he asked the generals to continue the discussion, and left by himself to meet the envoy in another room.

"I've been waiting for Mr. Guo, and when I heard that you went to see King Wu during the day, I thought it was ......" Gan Zhao smiled.

Guo Shifeng arched his hand and said: "Seeing King Wu is a business matter, just passing words on both sides, and seeing King Shu is my original intention." ”

"You may be seated. I don't know what King Xiangdong thinks, but it is true, King Wu himself guessed that there were ambushes, and no one leaked secrets. Moreover, it was because of the visit of Mr. Guo and Mr. Fei that King Wu became suspicious. ”

"King Wu is too smart, and sooner or later he will reap the consequences. The king of Shu is content and happy, but he lasts for a long time. ”

"It's not my intention to rebel and call the king, but unfortunately the court has no way, so that the loyal ministers and officials have nowhere to stay. Happy to meet the rise of Yecheng, who in the world does not yearn for it? ”

"Yecheng was defeated, and the King of Shu doesn't regret it?"

Gan Zhao shook his head, "The year is cold, and then I know that the pine and cypress will wither, and I chose to return to Yecheng at this time, precisely for this reason." ”

"Well, the king of Xiangdong admires the loyalty of the king of Shu very much, so he has to bear a heavy burden, and hopes that the king of Shu will work hard and make meritorious deeds."

"Mr. Guo, please say that the day before yesterday was unsuccessful, and I deeply regret it, and this time it must be successful."

"That's the case, the general wants to betray Yecheng and unite with King Wu."

"They are father and son." Gan Zhao nodded, not surprised at all.

"I spread the word between their father and son, and it seemed like it would work out nine times out of ten. If King Wu reverts to his old surname, Yecheng will be in danger, and the kings of the righteous army will not be able to escape. ”

"I understand this truth, what does King Xiangdong want me to do?"

"Find a way to make the Lou family father and son turn against each other."

Gan Zhao thought for a moment, "What a coincidence, a ready-made opportunity is in front of you." King Wu didn't know what to think, he wanted to force a general to cut himself, and very few people knew about this matter, and I also learned about it by chance. ”

"What does this have to do with the Great General?"

"This general was originally from Wu, and he hated the general so much that he was forced to cut himself, and he must be willing to do something before he died."

"He can't reach the general."

"But he can be the general's wife."

Guo Shifeng smiled and nodded, "Okay, then I can calmly go to see King Wu, once Mrs. Lan dies, there is no possibility of reconciliation between the father and son of the Lou family." ”

"The general really cares about Lady Lan, right?"

"He doesn't care, what he cares about is women, there is more than one woman in the General's Mansion, if you can let that general kill a few more before cutting himself, he will definitely anger Lou Wen."
