Only two of the soldiers were willing to follow Tan Wuwu, and the others were too tired to stay in the camp of the Descendant Army, whose future was uncertain.

When Xu Ji caught up, the three of them had already driven more than ten miles and were stopping at an intersection to identify the direction.

Xu Ji also only led two people, one was Song Wushou and the other was Ma Jin.

Tan Wufu heard the sound of horses' hooves, and smiled at the two soldiers: "The fourth brother is chasing me." ”

"Is General Tan going to stay?" Ichibing asked.

Tan sighed meaninglessly and did not answer.

Xu Jichi approached, running too fast all the way, and he was already out of breath, "Why didn't the second brother leave without saying hello?" ”

"Save some time and avoid embarrassment, the fourth brother's pursuit has made me lose all my efforts."

"I have a way to convince Lord Yoon and the Golden Sainten-Maiden ......"

"No need, I've seen the Golden Holy Maiden, she is a heroine among women, but she is not a hero who can calm the world, as for Lord Yin, the difference is even further, I just stay, and I won't win more battles, it's not a long-term solution."

"Why did the second brother come in the first place?"

"Alas, as I said earlier, I was rash at the time, and now I regret it, I thought that the Descendant Army dared to attack the outer provinces, or there were heroes here to preside over the overall situation, but now it seems that I am thinking too much. There's nothing to say, I'd better go back to Bingzhou and ask the King of Jin for guilt, maybe I can be taken in again. ”

"The second brother is also a hero in the world, why don't you stay and be the king?"

"Haha, I have self-knowledge, Jin Shengnu and Lord Yin have won the hearts of the army, even if I lead my troops to win consecutive battles, I can't compete with these two people, and I barely claim the king, but I suffer. The fourth brother chased after him, and he felt righteous, but I won't stay. If the fourth brother has a heart, he will fight this battle according to my plan, how to boost morale, the fourth brother will figure out his own way. ”

"The second brother really wants to leave, I'm not reluctant, please let me give the second brother a ride."

"Not necessarily." Tan looked around, "Do you recognize the way?" ”

"The second brother wants to go back to the state by the same route?"

"Well, I remember it very clearly when I came, but I couldn't remember it when I left again, mainly because it was dark."

"I don't know the way either...... Can the second brother borrow a step to speak? ”

The two jumped off the horse and walked out of a distance, Xu Ji said softly: "King Jin is arrogant and suspicious, if he is going well, he may be able to reuse the second brother, but now he has been frustrated one after another, and he is trapped in the state and cannot show his ambitions, and he will not be able to trust others." The second brother ran away, and it was impossible to be forgiven, so why did he have to go back and be humiliated? ”

Tan sighed meaninglessly, "The fourth brother is right, but I have nowhere to go." Maybe the King of Jin has already defeated the King of Liang to recapture the state, and as soon as he is happy, I still have a chance to reappoint. ”

"I recommend the second brother a place to go, the road may be more difficult, and this person has not yet shown his grandeur, but looking at the world, maybe he is the only one who can make the second brother show his talents."

Tan thought for a while, "If you talk about fighting, the fourth brother is not as good as me, or when it comes to looking at people, I admit that I am not as good as the fourth brother, but ...... The fourth brother first said which hero is this person? ”

"Jingzhou Song takes bamboo."

"Who?"

"This is a heroic man in Xiangyang, known as 'Song Qianshou'."

"Oh, I have heard that he is also king?"

"Called the king of Chu, and later gave up, now he is a general under the command of King Ning, but he is in charge, and he was ordered to fight south against Hunan and Guangzhou, and when I left Yizhou, he had just captured Yiling City in Jingzhou."

"Can he calm the world?"

"I can't guarantee it, but I believe he can reuse the second brother."

"How many soldiers does he have?"

"The army was sent to Hunan and Guangzhou, and he left thousands of troops around him, and now there may be more." Xu Ji didn't lie.

"So little." Tan Wuxian was very disappointed.

"There are many heroes, only He Rong, King Ning, Sheng, and Yizhou are the four families, and the second brother can have someone to defect?"

Tan smiled meaninglessly: "The person that the fourth brother likes will not be trapped in the shallow pool for a long time, so it doesn't hurt for me to take a look." Alas, the road to Yiling from here is even more difficult. ”

Xu Ji took out two letters from his arms, "The second brother brings it, maybe it can help, one letter to the general of the fierce army, asking him to send someone to send the second brother to Liangzhou, and one letter to the Yizhou Iron General, asking him to send the second brother to Jingzhou." ”

"It turns out that the fourth brother had already thought about it before chasing me." Tan took the letter meaninglessly, "What about Song Zhu?" Don't need a letter recommendation? ”

"I sent an entourage to accompany the second brother, his name is Song Wushou, he is the nephew of General Song, and he introduced him, and there is no need for letters. When the second brother arrived in Yizhou, he didn't say that he was going to defect to General Song, but only said that he was going to see King Ning. ”

"Understood. Hey, Song Qianshou's nephew Song Wushou - is the Song family's kinship huge? ”

"Perhaps." Xu Ji smiled, walked back to the horse with Tan Wuwu, and said to Song Wushou: "It's going to be hard for General Song again." ”

Song Wushou had already known in advance, and said with a smile: "To be able to go back to Jingzhou, how hard it is and willing, Mr. Xu and Brother Ma stay here, it is really hard." ”

Although Ma Jin is also an outsider, he has inquired about the general path and pointed out: "Go to Liangzhou here." ”

Tan Wusensei turned over and got on the horse, and sighed again, "The future of my trip is unpredictable, and the fourth brother stays here for unknown blessings and misfortunes - I hope it will meet one day, and you and I can still laugh and talk about today." Leave. ”

"Farewell, I will not send it far."

Xu Ji watched Tan Wuwu and his party go away, got on the horse and rushed back to the camp with Ma Jin.

As soon as he went, it was already dawn, and Xu Ji didn't have time to rest, so he immediately went to visit Zhang Shiqing.

As soon as the female soldier guarding the door saw Xu Ji, she said, "Fortunately, you're back, let's all say ...... Come in, just wait for you to save the princess's life. ”

Zhang Shiqing was not as exaggerated as the female soldier said, he was already able to sit up slightly against the pillow, and when he saw Xu Ji, he immediately smiled, "I knew you wouldn't run away." ”

"I'm going to chase a general who 'escaped.'"

"Who is worth chasing personally?"

"It's that Tan Wusense."

Zhang Shiqing was even more surprised, "You really treat him as a character and chase him back?" ”

"He has made up his mind to go, and I can't persuade him to come back."

Zhang Shiqing said with a smile: "People who can't even persuade you to come back must have something unique, you tell me in detail." ”

Xu Ji sat down and accompanied Zhang Shiqing to breakfast, while telling the story of his needless acquaintance with Tan.

Zhang Shiqing listened with relish, kept asking, and didn't even let go of the matter of King Jin and Liu Youzhong, and finally smiled: "You four sworn brothers are all hypocritical, and I am closer to Zhang Shisheng." ”

"It's not as good as that." Xu Ji said with a smile, "If King Jin had succeeded in capturing the Eastern Capital, our friendship would have been deeper. ”

"Did King Jin really kill his father?"

"I haven't seen it, and I don't dare to say whether it's true or not."

Zhang Shiqing sighed, moved a little with the help of Xu Ji, his face was painful, and then he let out a long breath and sighed again, "The heroes in the book are all fake, and there are only heroes and traitors in the world." ”

"If you want to calm the world, you have to go through hardships and obstacles every step, so don't be too them."

Zhang Shiqing snorted, "I'll ask something, don't be angry." ”

"I'm not angry."

Zhang Shiqing thought for a while, "Why are you so demanding of the Emperor of All Things?" ”

Xu Ji didn't expect her to ask about this, and couldn't help but be stunned, and found that it was really difficult to answer.

"You don't need to explain, think about it carefully, even from the most undemanding eyes, the Emperor of All Things has overdone, if he doesn't die, the world will only be more chaotic."

"Maybe I'm just anxious to see chaos in the world." Xu Ji said with a smile.

A female soldier came in, "Mr. Xu, General Yin asks to see you." ”

Zhang Shiqing said: "You go, I'm much better, I don't need you to stay here all the time." ”

Xu Ji took his leave.

Yin Fu heard about Tan's senseless departure, "This General Tan is so impatient, he will leave if he doesn't agree with him." ”

"There's really no place for him here."

"Since you have to leave, it is useless to force you to stay. But after I went back, I thought about it carefully for a while, and then knocked on the side of the generals in the army, everyone didn't seem to be so afraid of He Rongren, Tan's senseless bluff might really succeed, but as soon as he left, ......"

"If Lord Yin has this guts, there is no need for Tan to deploy troops here."

"Alas, I'm not afraid of He Rongren, I'm afraid of Yizhou people."

"What do you say, Lord Yin?"

"Losing to He Rongren is just a death, when I left Yecheng, I didn't have a fluke heart, but what is the crime of communicating with my Yizhou soldiers, you have to accompany me to death? If this army dies, I will die and I will not have the face to face the Yizhou fathers. ”

"I thought Master Yin had already discovered the truth."

"Haha, I also think that I have broken through, and when it comes to the end, I still look ahead and look backwards. No wonder Mr. Fan refused to go out to the post until he died, no wonder he valued people like Mr. Xu in his last few years, and always said that we were trapped by fame. ”

"Lord Yin may have made up his mind?"

Yin Fu could see that when he really wanted to do it, he still hesitated, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "If the Golden Holy Maiden agrees to this plan, I will not object." ”

"It's enough to have Lord Yin's words."

Yin Fu is old, and he has no ambition to compete for the world, so he can't take on the big responsibility after all.

In the afternoon of the next day, Yang Mengjun returned, but Xue Jinyan did not accompany him, claiming that he would go deep into Liangzhou, and ordered the descending army to be managed by Yang Mengjun.

Yang Mengjun first aided the Descending Army and the Yizhou Army, and then continued to provide grain and grass, which was very kind, and he was in charge of the whole army, no one objected, but it was strange that the Golden Saintess did not use her husband Xu Ji.

Xu Ji would not object, invited Yin Fu, had a deep talk with Yang Mengjun, and said to the right of the second watch hall before Yang Mengjun made a decision: "Long pain is better than short pain, there will be a decisive battle with He Rongren sooner or later, this is it." Why did Mr. Xu let General Tan leave? Wouldn't it be better to keep him in command of the whole army? ”

"Tan is irretrievably useless, not to mention that he is an outsider, he is a newcomer, it is difficult to convince the public, even if he is here, he is just giving advice, and the one who can command the whole army is none other than the general of the fierce army."

Yang Mengjun hesitated for a moment, and then said angrily: "This place is close to Liangzhou, I have the responsibility of a landlord, and I have to be valued by Lord Yin and Mr. Xu-it is incumbent." ”

The three chatted until late at night, Yin Fu said goodbye, Yang Mengjun and Xu Ji saw them off, and after coming back, Yang Mengjun said: "The golden saint girl deliberately avoided it, please Mr. Xu is not strange." ”

"I came recklessly, how could I blame her?"

"The Golden Lady asked me to tell Mr. Xu that the letter had been received, and she ......" Yang Mengjun took out a letter from his bosom and handed it over with both hands.

Xu Ji opened the letter, glanced at it, and smiled, "The general of the fierce army knows the content of the letter?" ”

Yang Mengjun shook his head.

Xu Ji changed his mind when he said this, and put away the letter, "Let's talk about it after this battle." ”
