Kou Daogu looked at the knife on Xu Ji's waist, "Will you use it?" ”

Xu Ji shook his head, "No." ”

Kou Daogu actually believed it, took two steps forward, and walked in front of Xu Ji, "The news will come soon." ”

"What's the news?"

"Hey. The news I just said. ”

"The Descendant Army and the Yizhou Army ......"

"The two armies did not measure their own strength, trying to seize the border fortress checkpoint and prevent the various departments from entering the fortress and converging with Shan Yu, but Shan Yu had prepared in advance and secretly designed with the various departments, first leading the snake out of the hole, and then attacking from both sides, so as to achieve a big victory."

"At least they tried?"

"Jin Shengnu and Yin Fu? Well, they tried, what about Xu Gongzi? What are you trying these days? ”

Xu Ji looked up at the arrogant face.

Kou Daogu understood the meaning in his gaze, and replied: "I only have the world in my heart, there is no Huayi, although Shan Yu was born outside the Saiwai, he admires the Central Plains a lot, and has appointed me as a holy teacher, specializing in teaching Shan Yu and his eldest wife's twin sons, and when they grow up, they will become a generation of Ming Jun." ”

"Teach them how to call Father?"

Kou Daogu sneered, "Is Gongzi Xu just sitting here and taking advantage of his tongue?" ”

"You don't seem to have anything to say."

"I not only bring you news, but also a persuasion, Xu Gongzi has persuaded people all his life, and he should be persuaded by others."

Xu Ji smiled, "This is unusual. ”

"Xu Gongzi is smart and knowledgeable, and he is good at figuring out what others think, so I don't hide it, let's talk about it in my favor first: I don't want Xu Gongzi to live to see Shan Yu, Shan Yu has high ambitions, although he wants you, but he may not kill you, Xu Gongzi only needs to bow his head, he can get Shan Yu's understanding and be entrusted with a heavy task."

"You're going to kill me?"

"I can't do anything to kill with my own hands, and it's going to make Shan unhappy."

"Prosthetic hands?"

"The King of Shu is a smart man, and he would rather give Xu Gongzi alive to Shan Yu than make a knife for me."

"Then the only thing left is suicide."

"Exactly."

"Let me think about it, I have a knife in my hand, I'm imprisoned, I'm going to be sent to Shan Yu soon, and if I want to save my life, I can only bow down to my subordinates - you see, it's really hard to make up my mind."

A smile appeared on Kou Daogu's face, fleeting, "What about Xiangyang?" ”

"Xiangyang?"

"The heroes of Xiangyang have gathered to fight to the death with He Rong's army - oh, I heard Xu Gongzi's hint before, but please rest assured, the King of Jin will not flee from Xiangyang, on the contrary, he will defeat the heroes with the Yizhou army and be loyal to Shan Yu."

"So I committed suicide because I was cornered?"

"Yizhou is a place of four stops, it is difficult for outsiders to enter, and it is difficult for them to get out, and the heroes of Xiangyang only need to send a small number of soldiers to guard the mouth of the gorge to block the Yizhou army. There is only one point, the heroes do not know the mind of the king of Shu, and they are defenseless against the Yizhou army, and someone must pass on the news. ”

Xu Ji already understood Kou Daogu's thoughts, and said with a smile: "If I commit suicide here, the news will reach Jingzhou, and it will definitely arouse the vigilance of the heroes." ”

"That's right."

"I'm afraid that the news won't get out."

Kou Daogu sighed softly and returned Xu Ji's previous words, "At least it's an attempt." ”

Xu Ji was silent.

"I will leave to return to Hanzhou the day after tomorrow, or bring a living person to see Shan Yu, or bring a death messenger." Kou Daogu turned and left.

Xu Ji sat for a long time, untied the knife on his waist, put it on the table, stared at it for a while, drew the knife out of the sheath, and watched carefully, this is a good knife, just holding it in his hand makes people's hearts furious.

Xu Ji practiced the knife technique for a while, although he was not proficient, he was not a stranger, he suddenly stood up and danced the knife in the open space in the house.

After a knife stroke, Xu Ji was out of breath, a layer of fine sweat appeared on his body, he sat on the chair to rest for a while, and suddenly laughed loudly.

The voice of the guard came from outside the door, "Does Mr. Xu need anything?" ”

Xu Ji walked to the door, "I have a knife from the King of Shu here, please return it to the original owner on my behalf." ”

"That's not going to work, we ......"

Xu Ji walked to the window, waved the knife and slashed a few times, cutting a gap, and then seeing that the blade was as good as new, he couldn't help but praise "good knife", and then threw the knife out of the gap.

The guards outside were a little panicked, and no one squeaked for a long time.

Xu Ji returned to his place and sat down, muttering, "You must live." ”

The cold wind outside blew in, and Xu Ji found his cloak and wrapped it tightly around his body.

It was after the second watch of the night, Gan Zhao came in person, carrying the knife he had given earlier, and the scabbard was still on the table in Xu Ji's house.

Xu Ji didn't sleep, he placed the oil lamp in the corner of the table, put the scabbard in the middle, and meditated on it.

Gan Zhao didn't bring the guards, stood at the door and waited for a while, took a few steps forward, and threw the knife on the table.

Xu Ji turned his head and said with a smile: "This is the sword of the King of Shu." ”

"Send it out and it's no longer mine."

"If you send it out, it's no longer your own, the king of Shu understands a knife, why is he confused about Yizhou?"

"Hey, I know." Gan Zhao sat opposite, "No matter what, I have to explain a few words to Mr. Xu." ”

"I understand the heart of the King of Shu."

"Mr. Xu doesn't understand, you only have Kyushu in your eyes, without me Yizhou, you don't know how chaotic the situation in Yizhou is, between the guest people and the indigenous people, and the guests from all walks of life, there are many contradictions.

"I really don't know."

"I, the king of Shu, am not stable, and it is also a mistake to marry the daughter of the king of Yidu, the Zhang family does not have many supporters in Yizhou, and marrying him has helped me very little."

"It's not my suggestion."

"I know, I'm just complaining, if Mr. Xu had followed me in the first place, maybe it would have prevented me from making mistakes, I should have married a native noblewoman, and the situation would be much better."

"There are many ways to marry, and it doesn't have to be the King of Shu himself."

"My children are young and young, and even so, they are all married, but they will have to wait a few more years before they can get married." Gan Zhao's face suddenly showed a little eagerness, "I don't ask for much, two years, three years at most...... No, no, two years is enough, I can gain a foothold in Yizhou, eradicate internal troubles, and have the spare strength to send troops to win the Central Plains. ”

"The ambition of the King of Shu is still there?"

"Although Yizhou is dangerous, it will be difficult to survive alone, I understand this truth. But don't be too risky, you have to have a foolproof strategy. ”

"Foolproof?"

"It must be a foolproof strategy, I will lead the troops out of Yizhou here, and I will relieve the siege of Hanzhong over there."

"General Iron is still holding on?"

A trace of anger flashed on Gan Zhao's face, "Tie Kite had the opportunity to return to Yizhou, but he resisted and did not obey the order, and now he is under siege. ”

Gan Zhao was bewitched by Che Quanyi and sent guest soldiers to fight, but he didn't plan to let them all come back, and when the internal strife continued, he missed this army again.

"If Shan Yu wins in Xiangyang, there will be no opponent again, how long can Yizhou be safe?"

"I only need two years, but I can't do it, and one year is enough."

"By then, Shan Yu has occupied the Central Plains, who will the King of Shu ask for?"

"Xiangyang, Dongdu, Stone City, Guangling City...... There will always be someone to block it for a while, as long as Shan Yu has not fully occupied Kyushu, Yizhou will still have a chance. ”

Xu Ji couldn't help but smile bitterly, "This is indeed a foolproof strategy." ”

"Mr. Xu thinks so too?" Gan Zhao didn't notice Xu Ji's expression.

"It is a foolproof strategy for the single thing, and it is a sure death policy for the king of Shu."

Gan Zhao's face was displeased, "Mr. Xu only wants to repel He Rongbu, and he doesn't care whether others live or die, Tie Kite and Lou Wei listened to you, what is the result?" Xiangyang Qunxiong also listened to you, what was the result? Mr. Xu's 'general trend' is inseparable, why do you want to buck the trend? ”

"Going with the flow is bound to die, going against the trend or living."

"Hey, I've heard that 'those who go along with it prosper, and those who go against it perish.'"

"Alone in the prosperity, the death of the heroes."

"There is no Shanyu, there is also this king and that king, what is the difference? If Shan Yu really conquers all the states in the world, I can only obey the mandate of heaven and leave the name of the king of Shu, which is enough. ”

"Shan Yu is not only to occupy the states, but also to divide the world. The people of the Central Plains are dense and dense, if they can work together, He Rongbu is definitely not an opponent, Shan Yu knows this very well, so he will never be a peaceful prince, he will always drive the states to fight each other......"

"Everyone obeys the mandate of heaven like King Jin and me, and there is no excuse for fighting alone."

"For example, if Yizhou is a local guest, if you want to intervene, what should the king of Shu do? Is it to comply with the mandate of heaven and lure the wolf into the house, or to refuse to 'help' and give Shan Yu an excuse to fight? ”

Gan Zhao didn't answer.

"The Central Plains people are outstanding people, there are always people who are unwilling to 'obey the mandate of heaven', today the heroes are gone, and there are new heroes rising."

Gan Zhao got up, put the knife into the sheath, and held it in his hand, "Since Mr. Xu doesn't want it, I'll take it back." I came to visit tonight, I wanted to hear Mr. Xu's high opinions, but Mr. Xu blindly just wanted to persuade me to take risks - in the past, I had no place to stand, and there were only a thousand soldiers under my command, and I felt that Mr. Xu's words were reasonable, but now I can't, as long as I can solve the civil strife in Yizhou, I can ensure stability for at least ten years, and I won't do risky things. Thinking about it carefully, Mr. Xu seems to be only useful when he is in crisis, he can survive in a desperate situation, and he can't go further. ”

Xu Ji got up to stop him, held his knife willingly, and said coldly: "My words have been finished." ”

"When will the Shu army leave the gorge?"

Gan Zhao pondered for a while, "Mr. Kou will take you on the road the day after tomorrow, and the Shu army will also board the ship and set off on the same day." ”

"How many days can you get to Jingzhou?"

"Going down the river, two days at most, and in winter, the water is shallow and dangerous, so it takes one more day."

"The King of Shu and the King of Jin have already engraved the date?"

"On the set date, I will attack on the same day as King Jin."

"King Shu waits one more day."

"Huh?"

"It only takes one day, just after the fact, and say, 'The winter water is shallow and dangerous.'"

"There's no need for that, since it's ......"

"I am thinking about the king of Shu, because I know that the king of Jin will definitely stand still that day, leaving the Shu army to fight alone, He Rong's army will not be able to rush to support for a while and a half, the Shu army will be defeated, and the king of Shu will also become the enemy of Kyushu."

"King Jin doesn't have the guts, Shan Yu looks at him very closely."

"If I say it wrong, the King of Jin will start on schedule and contain the heroes in Xiangyang, and it will be beneficial for the King of Shu to wait for one more day."

Gan Zhao was silent, "One day...... After the Shu army goes out of the gorge, it will directly attack Yiling City, Yiling and Xiangyang are at least three days away, and it will take a day and a night to whip up the horse, I am one day late, the King of Jin will not know, the King of Jin will not move, and I will not know immediately. What exactly does this day mean? ”

"At least there is no harm to the King of Shu, it can be regarded as the last time I will speak to the King of Shu."

Gan Zhao thought for a while, pushed Xu Ji away, and walked out of the room without giving any answer.
