Tan Wuwu moved a stool, sat down slowly, glanced at King Wu, lowered his head and pondered, and was silent for a long time.

"I'm sorry to disappoint General Tan." The biggest stone in Xu Ji's heart fell to the ground, and the whole person was fluttering, as if he had drunk too much wine, although he had not eaten a drop of wine all day.

"Not a disappointment...... One thing, in the past few days, King Wu really has a bit of an imperial posture, as if he will make a difference. ”

"General Tan was bent on finding a suitable lord, so he didn't think about self-reliance?"

"Haha." After Tan Wusensei smiled, his expression suddenly became serious, "Actually, I have tried, and I have been trying." ”

"Huh?"

"King Wu didn't see it?"

Xu Ji shook his head.

"Normal, because no one sees it, and everyone treats me as a joke."

"General Tan usually argues with people just to ......"

"In order to show talent, in order to win people's hearts."

"I saw General Tan's talent."

Tan smiled meaninglessly, "King Wu didn't think that I was also winning people's hearts?" ”

Xu Ji also smiled, "In this regard, I am as clumsy as General Tan. ”

"Wu Wang Guoqian, you are much stronger than me. I'm counterproductive, it's okay not to speak, the more I talk, the more annoying it becomes. King Wu can be regarded as a master of winning the hearts of the people, at least he started from scratch, built an army, and was able to stand out from the crowd, but he couldn't hold on. ”

"What's the problem?"

"Me? My problem is that I am too high-minded, hoping to attract a group of followers, but I look down on these people in my heart, and always feel that they are insignificant pawns - they are indeed pawns, and they are the same under everyone's hands, but the real heroes can hide the contempt in their hearts and mingle with them. ”

"Like King Jin?"

"King Jin is an unborn genius in this regard, I know that he doesn't believe in physiognomy at all, but he can get Liu Youzhong's followers, and a few times, I saw King Jin talking and laughing with ordinary pawns."

"Pleasing the soldiers, all the kings of the incarnation army can do it."

"They can, but when they meet people like King Wu, Liu Youzhong and me, the kings of the Descending Army are always a little uncomfortable, which is their disadvantage. The king of Jin is different, in terms of being close to the soldiers, he is not as good as the kings of the descending army, and in terms of handing over the princes, he is not as good as the king of Wu - maybe no one is as good as the king of Wu - but he is not weak in any of them, and together, he is the strongest among the heroes. ”

Xu Ji laughed, and didn't even argue with it.

Tan sighed meaninglessly, "Blame me for not being strong-willed for a while, and I won't be able to see King Jin in the future." ”

"If the King of Jin is really as transparent as you say, he will never blame you, let alone him leaving you in the Eastern Capital."

"King Jin begged me to come at that time."

"Please, what?"

"Please persuade King Wu not to prevent King Jin from leaving the Eastern Capital."

"King Jin doesn't believe me?"

"King Jin...... There are his shortcomings. Tan stood up uselessly, "I don't ask King Wu what he wants to do, because that has nothing to do with me, and I have to tell King Jin everything truthfully." ”

"General Tan is leaving?"

"What's the use of staying here?"

Xu Ji also stood up, "Once acquainted, I don't have anything good to give to General Tan, only a word of advice." ”

"King Wu's advice is invaluable, and I may not be able to afford it."

"Haha, if you don't say it, you don't need to use it in General Tan. Don't go to King Jin, find another master. ”

Tan frowned meaninglessly, "This is the advice that King Wu gave me?" ”

"Hmm."

"Where does King Wu think King Jin is not worthy of being called the Lord of Ming?"

"It's too exhaustive."

Tan was stunned for a moment, because this was the greatest merit of King Jin in his mind, and after thinking for a while, he laughed, "King Wu's advice is really expensive, I can't afford to use it." Say goodbye here, see you next time, we are still called brothers? ”

"Second brother, let's go." Xu Ji gave up, which is called "brotherhood".

Tan nodded with a senseless smile, didn't call him "fourth brother", and turned around to leave the account.

Xu Ji wanted to take a good nap, but no, the stone in his heart fell to the ground, but the burden on his shoulders was not lightened at all, and it may have been heavier.

Tan Wuwu is definitely going to go to the King of Jin, and Xu Ji has to unload the burden smoothly before the King of Jin wakes up.

Don't die more people because of yourself, this is Xu Ji's only request.

He stepped out of the tent and gave a series of orders to the guards outside: go to Mengjin to summon the king of Liang; The Luozhou army was divided into several teams, set off one after another, and went straight to the front, with him personally leading the first team; Release the King of Shu; Summons Sun Yalu immediately......

No one understood King Wu's intentions, and Tang Weitian thought that this was going to be a war, and he was very excited.

When Sun Yalu heard these orders, he was particularly puzzled, and trotted all the way to King Wu's horse, "King Xiangdong is infected with a cold and is unwell, I hope King Wu ......"

"Take him away."

"King Wu must ...... What did King Wu say? Sun Yalu was taken aback.

"Take the king of Xiangdong back to Yecheng."

"Now?"

"Now, but I don't provide guards."

"No, I'm bringing some people...... What is the purpose of King Wu? Sun Yalu didn't like it, but thought that King Wu was playing tricks again, and he didn't understand it at all this time.

"Just treat the king of Xiangdong as a token, go back and tell the county lord of Huanyan: I have done it myself, please ask her to do something and not do something."

"Huh? This is...... What do you mean? ”

"The county lord will understand." Xu Ji smiled and slapped the horse out of the camp.

Sun Yalu stood in place, and it was not until the figure of King Wu disappeared into the night that he came to his senses and hurriedly ran to see King Xiangdong.

King Xiangdong refused to leave, "This must be a conspiracy, King Wu wanted to kill me, and he let me go, just to give me a charge of fleeing." ”

"I don't think King Wu is hypocritical, and if he wants to kill His Highness, he doesn't need such an excuse."

"You promise?"

Sun Yalu smiled bitterly, he was not even a subordinate of King Wu, so he couldn't make any guarantees, so he had to reluctantly say: "I promise, please ask Your Highness to go on the road immediately, so as not to have too many dreams at night." King Wu is a little abnormal......"

"That's right, King Wu is abnormal, so ......"

"I pledge with my life, please hurry up and get on your way."

The king of Xiangdong got up and went out of the tent until he turned over and got on his horse, still guessing what King Wu thought, and asked Sun Yalu to ensure his safety.

Xu Ji led thousands of people on the road overnight, and no longer sent scouts to prevent the news from leaking.

At the third watch, the team stopped to rest and feed the horses, and the king of Shu, who had just been released, caught up from behind.

Nominally, Gan Zhao is not a prisoner, but he can't leave the tent at will, and there are always more than ten guards around him.

After the guards dispersed, Gan Zhao was also confused, and like the king of Xiangdong, he thought that this was a sign of King Wu's murder, so he stayed in the tent for a while and did not dare to go out, and when he finally confirmed that he had regained his freedom, he immediately rode a horse to chase after King Wu.

Gan Zhao ran in a hurry, panting, and was brought to King Wu by the guards, and arched his hand: "Can you say a few words to King Wu?" ”

Xu Ji nodded and ordered the guards to retreat, "I can't stay here for too long." ”

"I'm just a few words." Gan Zhaodao.

"Please."

"The road to the emperor is too difficult, and the more I experience, the more I feel that I don't have the ability, so ...... will secretly take refuge in the officers and soldiers, and just want to go to Yizhou to be a county official. For King Wu, I have always admired and thanked Dade, and there is absolutely no malice. ”

"Understood."

"I don't know what King Wu is going to do, and I am not qualified to ask, I am only here to thank you, and at the same time I have to ask: What does King Wu want me to do?"

Xu Ji smiled, knowing very well in his heart, most of Ganzhao's cronies and subordinates were in Mengjin, and less were under Xue Jin's tent, and he was useless now, so he specially came to visit, and he had to ask clearly.

"Let's go to Yizhou." Xu Ji said, this is the direction he pointed out to Gan Zhao at the beginning, and it has not changed.

"How to get there?"

"The King of Shu has to figure out his own way, don't see the competition for the crown as seizing the world, just try to save your life, maybe your heart will be easier."

Xu Ji beckoned to call the guards, got on his horse and prepared to set off, and added to Gan Zhao: "The road of the emperor is certainly difficult and dangerous, and it may be even more difficult to leave this road. ”

Gan Zhao led the horse to stand on the side of the road, and watched King Wu leave with his troops, the more he thought about it, the more confused he became, and finally muttered: "I want to go to Yizhou, even if I die, I will die on the way to Yizhou." If the heavens help me, let the soldiers of the Shu army return to my account, if not, I will also accept my fate. ”

Leading thousands of people, Xu Ji was still too slow, handed over the team to others, and galloped forward with more than 100 guards.

In the camp in front, Xue Jinyan had made all the preparations, and after she came back, she summoned the generals and announced that King Wu had led all the soldiers to rush to support, "With more strikes and fewer blows, this battle will be won, even if we win not enough to be simple, we will become a laughing stock, and everyone will say in the future, 'The commander of the army is not only a woman, but also a woman'." In the event that we are defeated, there will be no guards left in the eastern capital, and it will fall into the hands of others, and the wives, children, gold, silver and treasures that you left in the city will be taken away, and there will be no one left. ”

Once it was believed that King Wu had not set a trap, the fighting spirit of the descending army was aroused again, shouting that the war would start that night, but Xue Jinyan had to wait for King Wu's order.

She believed that this order would come, that it would put an end to the last shackles in her heart, and that she could fight happily, for herself, for King Wu, or for nothing.

Death can also be demagogic, and it uses the vast unknown and the never-ending fall to attract the living who are tired of what is happening around them, and trick them into taking a leap to solve all their problems.

Hearing that King Wu was coming, Xue Jinyan was more surprised than anyone else.

Xu Ji was dusty, his body was shrouded in a heavy cold air, but his expression was calmer than ever, he withdrew from the generals, leaving only the descending general and Cao Shenxi.

"You...... What to do? Once the news spreads, the Jingzhou army will be alert. Cao Shenxi spoke first, as a veteran, he especially couldn't understand King Wu's approach.

"Let them be vigilant, I have changed my mind, I want to scare off the people of Jingzhou, not annihilate them."

"Scared off? The Jingzhou army will not run too far, they will soon make a comeback again, and the northern armies will attack the eastern capital, when the time comes, what will King Wu take to 'scare' again? ”

"Maybe it won't get to that point." Xu Ji smiled.

Cao Shenxi was speechless and looked at Xue Jinyao, "Do you understand what King Wu is talking about?" ”

"Hmm." Xue Jinyan understood, and she understood as soon as she saw King Wu.
