When Xu Ji woke up, the eastern capital city was turned upside down.

Xu Ji and Chang Yan went to see Ning Baoguan together, at the door of the conference hall, Xu Ji was stopped by Guo Shifeng, and Chang Yanzhi could only go in alone.

Chang Yanzhi untied his waist knife and handed it to Xu Ji, nodded his head, and walked up the steps.

Guo Shifeng looked up at the sky and said with a smile: "It seems to be snowing again." ”

"I've heard a lot of rumors."

"Let's just assume they're all real."

"King Ning has no world in his heart."

"Brother be careful, this sentence will cause you to die."

"To kill or not to kill, it's all between King Ning's thoughts, not whether others say it or not."

Guo Shifeng smiled, motioned for Xu Ji to follow him a few steps, and whispered, "King Ning is determined to guard Xiangyang." ”

"What about the Eastern Capital?"

"Brother don't think too much, there are wolves in front and tigers in the back, at this time, the only choice is to lead the wolf to attack the tiger, although King Ning ...... Looking at the world, perhaps only he is the opponent of He Rongren. ”

Xu Ji was silent, and Guo Shifeng said again: "Brother Ji doesn't want to take refuge in King Ning, but he won't regard King Ning as an enemy, right?" ”

"No, it won't."

Guo Shifeng nodded and said: "I know that the younger brother is not a willful person, so I tried my best to protect the younger brother in front of King Ning, thinking that with the wisdom of the younger brother, it would be of great use in the end." ”

Xu Ji smiled and said: "I have something I want to ask Brother Guo, I hope Brother Guo will give me the truth." ”

Guo Shifeng said with a straight face: "Brother Fundamental, such a transparent person, actually asked me for advice, which flattered me, I must tell the truth." ”

Xu Ji was silent for a while, then turned his head to look at the conference hall, "Brother Guo...... Do you believe that the strategists can calm the world? ”

"This ...... I do not quite understand. ”

"Is the advisor the king's manipulator in the shadows, or is it a subordinate for his drive? Or worse, just a slave who speaks to his master? ”

Guo Shifeng smiled and nodded, "I understand, let me think about it, I've never thought about this...... I think it's all counted, how many emperors in ancient times were controlled by eunuchs and women? Counselors are better than these people, aren't they? ”

Xu Ji sighed lightly.

Guo Shifeng said again: "I also have something to ask my younger brother for advice. ”

"Please."

"The emperor is the ruler of the world? Or are you the parents who work hard for it? Or worse, just a puppet sitting on a throne, no different from the mud fetal wood carvings in the temple? ”

Xu Ji smiled and arched his hand: "Brother Guo made me suddenly brighter. ”

"Speaking of which, I have also seen a lot of characters, from the emperor and the general, down to the peddler and pawn, there is a big difference between the noble and the lowly, but there are many similarities in what I think in my heart: when he is happy, he looks down on all living beings, and the people think that the emperor has all the opportunities, not as good as my comfort, and the emperor thinks that the people are not as good as my respect; When he was in trouble, he felt sorry for himself, the people thought that the emperor did whatever he wanted, and he would never be bullied, and the emperor thought that the people were at ease, and they would never be restrained everywhere, and they did not even have the freedom to step out of the threshold. ”

"Control each other, use each other." Xu Jidao.

"Isn't that it? Emperors can levy troops and grain, but when the army is scattered, which emperor can 'control'? A strategist like us, with an incorruptible tongue, persuades this, transfers that, and someone does what he does, so we really 'control' him? Not necessarily, if no one accepts our strategy, it will be a complete failure? Not necessarily. ”

"The ups and downs of the world."

"The ups and downs of the world, but my heart does not move, for a while you 'control' me, and for a while I 'control' you, when I am proud, I will not kill them all, and when you are proud, don't care about the old hatred."

Xu Ji laughed.

Chang Yanzhi walked out of the council chamber with a blank expression, no panic or fear.

Xu Ji stepped forward and said, "Have you seen it?" ”

Chang Yanzhi nodded, "Well, King Ning...... I want to see Childe and Mr. Guo. ”

Ning Baoguan only slept for a while, the drunkenness on his face had disappeared, and he was discussing something with several generals, when he saw two strategists coming in, he waved his hand back and walked over with his sword, "Fortunately, there are more people left in the eastern capital than I expected, at least I can help transport grain." Mr. Xu, that friend of yours wants to stay and lead troops for me, but he said he must get your permission. ”

Xu Ji was taken aback, "I don't object." ”

"Good." Ning Baoguan shouted to the guards at the door: "Tell Chang Yanzhi to go find General Huang Huaihuang." ”

The guards were on call.

Huang Huainai is the general of the Ning Army, and Chang Yanzhi should be appointed if he goes to him.

Ning Baoguan said again: "Mr. Guo told you, I decided to take the troops to Xiangyang." ”

"I told you."

"What else did he say?"

"No, we're just chatting."

"I want you to go to Yizhou."

"Yizhou? See the King of Shu? ”

"Yes, since you want to defend Xiangyang, the more soldiers the better, the king of Shu can't sit back and enjoy the benefits, and he has to send troops over."

"The Yizhou general Tie Kite is trapped in Hanzhou, and the king of Shu is probably unwilling to send troops to help defend Xiangyang."

"It's up to the two of you."

Guo Shifeng was also taken aback, and blurted out: "I'll go too?" ”

"Mr. Xu is my guest, it is not polite to let the guest go to the king of Shu to borrow troops, you are my military advisor, you must go." Ning Baoguan turned around and rummaged through the table, and found a golden seal, "It was engraved not long ago, from now on, you are my military general, as for the grade...... We'll decide later. ”

Guo Shifeng was taken aback again, and at the same time a little happy, and stretched out his hand to receive the seal, "Although I have made some small achievements, I have also made many mistakes......

"Don't make a mistake on this trip to Yizhou." Ning Baoguan said sternly and put the golden seal in Guo Shifeng's hand.

The golden seal was heavy, and as soon as he fell, Guo Shifeng hurriedly said: "With Mr. Xu's help, this trip will definitely be a success." ”

Ning Baoguan looked at Xu Ji, "Since Mr. Xu is a guest, I will not make you an official, I believe that you only want to repel He Rongren, and you have no intention of being an official." ”

"Those who know me, King Ning." Xu Ji smiled.

"Whatever you need, you can mention it casually, and I will try my best to meet it."

Guo Shifeng was not polite, and immediately put forward a bunch of requirements, carriages and horses, gold and silver, cloth, how much can be wanted, Ning Baoguan mostly agreed, and finally said: "What does Mr. Xu want?" ”

"I'm going to—the Eastern Capital."

"Haha, Mr. Xu's export is extraordinary, but I can't give you this, the east must be destroyed, if it can't be destroyed, it will be burned, if it can't be burned, it will be smashed, and if it can't be smashed, it will be demolished, in short, it will make Dongdu an empty city where everyone can come and go, so that people will not be worried about it."

"If no one cares about the Eastern Capital, what will King Ning use to lure the Sheng family to withdraw from Jiangdong?"

"Hey, how does Mr. Xu know that I can't repel the Sheng family?"

"Because it is not the best strategy to repel the Sheng family, it is better to cede the eastern capital to the Sheng family - the Sheng family has coveted the eastern capital for a long time, and it will inevitably accept it, and if it is accepted, it is not far from the He Rong people, and maybe they will also send troops to help defend Xiangyang."

"It's more likely to surrender to Shan Yu, but it will become the enemy of Xiangyang. Mr. Xu doesn't need to say much, I understand what you mean, I will think about it, whether Dongdu is saved or destroyed, whether to stay or send, it is all up to me, you just go to Yizhou with Mr. Guo and borrow troops for Xiangyang. ”

Xu Ji retreated, Ning Baoguan stopped him, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xu still uses a knife?" ”

Chang Yanzhi's waist knife was still here in Xu Ji, and he almost forgot about it, "This is the treasure knife that the King of Shu gave me, I hope he still remembers." ”

"The king of Shu will give you a sword, and I will give you a sword, but the sword is not around, when you set off tomorrow, come and get it."

"Thank you."

The two strategists walked out of the council hall together, and Xu Ji saw Chang Yanzhi and others in the distance, and said goodbye to Guo Shifeng.

"Brother Ji has to taste what he wants and send a strong reinforcement to Xiangyang, it's time for King Ning to feel that he has gained, the so-called 'control' is nothing more than that."

Xu Ji nodded with a smile and walked quickly towards Chang Yanzhi.

Chang Yanzhi's face was still blank, "That...... One thing......"

"I'll talk about it later."

The two returned to the General's Mansion, and Chang Yanzhi took out a silver seal from his arms, "King Ning made me the general of the Left Guard, commanding three thousand troops, and I ......"

"You should take it."

"I, I actually don't want to lead troops anymore, especially for King Ning, let the seven clans of Jiangdong know, my reputation will be ruined. But...... But King Ning ......"

"You don't dare to refuse." Xu Jidao.

Chang Yanzhi's face turned red, and he opened his mouth to defend himself, so he immediately lowered his head and sighed.

"You don't have to be ashamed, I'm just like you."

"Huh?"

"King Ning wants to destroy the Eastern Capital, I only dare to persuade half a sentence, King Ning sent me to Yizhou to borrow troops, and I can only push it halfway."

Xu Ji's words did not make Chang Yanzhi feel better, "King Ning's murderous aura is heavier than before, before I saw him, I even had the intention of killing him, but after meeting, I didn't even dare to breathe." Alas, King Ning...... Can it really win the world? ”

"I just heard a grand argument today, and it can be used: King Ning thinks that he is in the hands of life and death, maybe this is his delusion."

"Delusion?"

"The road to the world is difficult and dangerous, most people dare not think about it, people who dare to think often give up halfway, willing to be the hero of one party, must be a person with a strong illusion, in order to persist in walking, the illusion may be life and death, may be the destiny of heaven, may be sitting on a strong army...... In short, there must be the same. ”

"Hey, my cowardice is by no means an illusion, so King Ning's life and death are in his hands...... It's probably not an illusion, Childe doesn't need to comfort me, everyone wants to save their lives, let's take one step at a time, but I can't accompany you to Yizhou. ”

"It doesn't matter."

"Gongzi doesn't want to run for King Ning, but what can he do? Gongzi has seen so many people, except for Shan Yu, who else do you think can compete with King Ning? ”

"Not yet, let's talk about it after the battle of Xiangyang is over."

"I understand what Gongzi said just now, life and death are in the hands of King Ning, the destiny of heaven belongs to King Liang, and the strong army is Shan Yu, what kind of 'illusion' should the person Gongzi wants to find have?"

Xu Ji smiled: "You asked me." ”

"Childe doesn't have no eyebrows at all, right? For example, King Jin, who is confident in his wisdom and bravery, can be regarded as an 'illusion', even I can see that he will inevitably rebel sooner or later. As for the others, they seem to be content with one side of the hero. Oh, and the county lord of Yuyang, what is her 'delusion'? Smarter than everyone else? ”

"The 'illusion' I'm looking for is all of this." Xu Jidao.
