Xi Yun has no ambition to win the world, he knows how big his ability is, and he knows the details of many children in the family, and their Xi family is destined to dominate only one side.

Even that wish will be difficult to achieve today.

Xi Yun glanced at the people in the tent and sighed, "If Xi Fu was still here, maybe he wouldn't have come to this point, he has already won Shan Yu's favor and can fight for some leeway for the Xi family......

Xi Cheng just walked in, no one else squeaked, only he dared to be a little presumptuous in front of his father, and said loudly: "If the eldest brother is here, of course it is a good thing, but it can't change anything, it is he who has won Shan Yu's favor, not our Xi family, has my father forgotten, Shan Yu wants you to visit within a month?" Can the father go? ”

Of course Xi Yun can't go, if he has three long and two short, the Xi family will be destroyed, just like the Lou family.

Xi Yun did not reprimand the second son, and sighed again, "The Lou family still has the support of Lou and Xu Ji's two sons, ......"

Xi Yan didn't like to listen to it even more, and retorted: "Xu Ji betrayed his ancestors and forgot his ancestry, not only changed his surname, but also had an inexplicable relationship with his father's death, such a son, our Xi family does not have it." As for Lou Hinder, he is treacherous to the Xi family, and he is bold and reckless to He Rongbu, and he will definitely die and die within a few months, what is there to envy? Their house has completely collapsed this time. ”

There were no outsiders present, Xi Yun was more indulgent to the second son, and after listening to him, he snorted coldly, "How about the fifth son of the Shen family?" ”

"Shen Tan? What's wrong with my father, the characters mentioned are more unbearable than the other, Shen Tan killed his father and brother, and dedicated his ancestral business to foreign races, which is really the great evil of the Shen family and the great thief of Kyushu. ”

"Do you think our Xi family is all good?"

Xi Cheng glanced at the brothers and nephews around him, "All of them are easy to say, at least the Xi family is full of loyalty and filial piety, and there are no evil sons and grandchildren." ”

"In this case, why was our Xi family attacked by the 'evil thief' Shen Tan, and instead asked the 'evil son' Xu Ji to offer a plan?"

"The world is in chaos, so the bad guys live well."

"What the Xi family lacks is the 'bad guy'."

"The chaos is only temporary, wait until the chaos is rectified......"

"The Xi family has long since died." Xi Yun said coldly and said to everyone: "You are all dressed and fed, and you don't remember the difficulties at the beginning. Xi Cheng, when Emperor Zhang Xi ruled the world, you were already twenty years old, right? Don't you remember how long the world has been in turmoil? Alas, it's not all your fault, you are lucky, you were born in the Xi family, you have never suffered since you were a child, you have only heard of chaos, but you have not experienced it. ”

Xi Yan's face was red, and he whispered: "Why haven't I experienced ......?"

"Hey, you just stayed with Wu Jun for a few days when you were a child, people treat you as a noble son, eat and drink well, and send you back well, no missing arms or legs, what kind of experience is it?"

Xi Yan's face turned even redder, and Xi Yun sighed: "I know, you were a proton for me at that time, the Xi family was prosperous, and I never forgot your credit." ”

When Xi Cheng was a teenager, he once volunteered to take his father as a hostage and went deep into the enemy country, although he did not suffer too much, but Cheng and Wu had a bad relationship, and he almost died several times, but he was also favored by his father, far more than the brothers.

More than 20 years have passed, Xi Cheng knows that he has to stand up again, "Father doesn't have to sigh, you are here to supervise the war, I will take 3,000 people to Xiangyang, Leng Yifang is obedient, if you have a different heart, I will cut off his head and send it to my father, and then defend the city, waiting for my father to bring reinforcements over." ”

Xi Yun didn't squeak.

Xi Cheng said angrily: "What is my father hesitating about? The matter has come to this, and the Xi family has no way out. Although Xu Ji is a shameless person, what he said has three points of truth, even if the Xi family wants to bow to Shan Yu, they must first defend the entire Jingzhou, show the enemy to be strong, and then make plans. ”

"Xu Ji's words are more than three points? He has nine points of truth and one point of falsehood, he thinks he is smart, but he is a more powerful strategist than him, I have also seen, hey, he has not lived until now. ”

"What does my father think?" Xi Cheng was a little anxious.

Xi Yun didn't hesitate anymore, "There is someone in the Xi family after all." Xi Cheng, you take 5,000 troops and immediately send them to Xiangyang, find more credible dead soldiers, and when you arrive in Xiangyang, you don't care whether Leng Yifang is obedient or not, find an opportunity to kill him. Leng Yifang took advantage of the chaos to stand on her own, and she had no loyalty to our Xi family. ”

"Yes, father, I'll go and transfer troops." Xi Cheng gave up his hand to receive the order, and asked again: "What should Xu Ji do?" Sooner or later, it would be a scourge to keep him. ”

"He can harm the Xi family, and he can also harm others. You don't have to worry about it, I'll do it myself. Xi Yun wrote down the order to transfer troops, stamped it and handed it to the second son, and then asked Xi Yuan suspiciously: "Go and invite Xu Ji." ”

Xi Cheng out of the account, taking advantage of the free time of the transfer of troops, took out the letter, opened it and read it, it was indeed the handwriting of the little daughter of the king of Yidu, he had seen it, the letter wrote some nostalgia, and finally hoped that his friend could persuade her husband to provide some help to Xu Ji.

Xi Cheng sneered, crumpled the letter into a ball, felt uneasy, lit the candle, burned the letter to ashes, and muttered: "Ignorant woman, at this time to set friendship, when your family is in full swing, you don't say that you can share some benefits." ”

On the other hand, Xu Ji was passed to the Chinese army tent again, this time there were fewer people in the tent, only two children of the Xi family were guarding behind Hengguo Gong, which was regarded as a guard, and in addition, only Xi Yuan was suspicious of accompanying him.

Xi Yun said with a smile: "I have carefully thought about what Xu Gongzi said just now, and I was quite touched, so I have sent my second son Xi Cheng to lead 5,000 troops to Xiangyang." ”

"Five thousand is too little, Lord Leng will be depressed when he sees it."

"The army will arrive later, and I am willing to negotiate peace with General Chen and go to Xiangyang together."

"Kyushu is protected from misery, and the power of Hengguo Gong is also."

"Haha, Xu Gongzi said too much. And the matter of peace negotiation has to be done by Xu Gongzi, I am not strong, General Chen will take the west road, I will go the east road, the faster the troops, the better, what does Xu Gongzi think? ”

"Of course, the Southern Army needs a place to cross the river."

"I will make the decision for Yang Qinzai, west of Yiling, and allocate 500 boats for the southern army to cross the river."

"General Chen is very worried that there will be no way back after crossing the river."

"Hmm...... In that case, the five hundred ships can be left to General Chen, and he will send people to guard them, which is always okay, right? In order to negotiate peace and defend Xiangyang, there must be some mutual trust. ”

"Heng Guogong is right, I think such an arrangement is acceptable."

"Okay, Gongzi Xu will go back to see General Chen early tomorrow morning?"

"I'm going to Chuying first."

"Why?"

Xu Ji said with a smile: "The letter written by Lord Leng to Song Zhuzhu is still in my hand, but I am willing to seek the near and far, and I will first persuade General Chen and Heng Guogong, and now that I have two promises, I should send the letter." ”

"You can let someone else go."

"There are some things that are not in the letter and must be said by me. It won't be long in delay, I will set off later, and I will be able to return to the camp of the Southern Army tomorrow, and if all goes well, I hope that tomorrow night I can negotiate peace in person, and send troops the day after tomorrow. Xiangyang is in danger, and I really can't wait for a moment. ”

"Haha, Xu Gongzi is anxious and admirable, I don't know when Leng Yifang cultivated the blessings, and he can get Xu Gongzi's help?"

"I'm not for Lord Leng, but for Xiangyang and Kyushu."

"That's even more admirable. Xu Gongzi needs to pass through Yiling City to go to Song Ying, so I will write a letter to avoid misunderstanding. ”

"I'm going to work Heng Guogong."

Xi Yun had already written the letter and handed it to Xi Yuansu, and suddenly said: "The letter is not as good as people, Xu Gongzi is very important now, without you, it will be difficult to negotiate peace - this is good, Yuan Yuan will accompany Xu Gongzi on a trip, no matter what, I must protect Xu Gongzi's safety." ”

"Yes." Xi Yuan bowed suspiciously and put the letter in his arms.

Xu Ji said: "Then you have to work hard to help the suspicious general." ”

"Nothing." Xi Yuan said calmly.

Xu Ji said goodbye, called Shangchang Yanzhi, and instructed the guards sent by Chen Aicai: "You go back to the camp early tomorrow morning and tell General Chen that I will go back around noon." ”

The night was deep, Xi Cheng's 5,000 soldiers and horses were gathering, and Xu Ji went out of the camp first.

Xi Yuanshu only led ten soldiers to follow, all of them rode horses, and soon arrived at the foot of Yiling City, and the city gate opened as soon as it was called.

The leader of the gate guarded his hand to Xi Yuan, looked up and saw Xu Ji, and was surprised, "You ......"

"I said I'd be back." Xu Ji said with a smile.

The leader was severely reprimanded by Yang Qinya, who was driven back, because he let Xu Ji go last time, and when he saw him again, he immediately drew his knife.

Xi Yuan shouted suspiciously: "I'm here, you dare to be rude?" ”

"But he ......"

"I'll take care of something, it has nothing to do with you, we're going to cross the river soon."

"This ...... Now it's not more than usual, if General Xi wants to cross the river, he must have an order from King Jiang. ”

Xi Yuan ignored the leader suspiciously, and said to Xu Ji: "No matter what, you have to see King Jiang." ”

"Of course, thanks to the hospitality, I have never seen the owner, and I deeply regret it."

In front of Yang's house, the suspicious soldier knocked on the door, and someone inside immediately replied: "Who?" It's the middle of the night again. ”

Xu Ji remembered this voice, it should be Yang Qinya's younger brother Yang Touching Shrimp.

"Jingzhou Senate General Xi Yuan is suspicious and asks to see King Jiang."

The gate immediately opened, and a short man walked out, looked up and smiled: "When did General Xi enter the city again?" ”

"I just entered the city and came to ask King Jiang for a warrant to cross the river. This is Xu Ji Xu Gongzi. ”

Yang touched the shrimp and was also reprimanded because of Xu Ji, turned his head to look at it, and shouted: "Good boy, finally see ......"

"The matter is urgent, please ask Second Master Yang to go to King Jiang quickly."

Yang touched the shrimp hesitantly, and finally said: "Please General Xi enter the mansion for a while." ”

"No, I'm leaving. If King Jiang is too busy, it is enough to ask him to write a warrant. ”

"Yes." Although Yang touched shrimp as King Jiang's younger brother, his status was not high, so he didn't dare to offend the Xi family, so he turned around and went back and hurriedly went to see King Jiang.

Xi Yuansu jumped off the horse and said to Xu Ji: "King Jiang has a violent temper, you should be careful when you talk to him, don't mention the matter of peace first, Hengguo Gong will discuss with him." ”

"Understood." Xu Ji also jumped off the horse and stood side by side with Xi Yuanyi.

It didn't take long for a group of people to hurriedly walk out of the house, and a slender man in front of him arched his hand before he crossed the threshold: "General Xi entered the city late at night, what's the urgency?" ”

"Send Xu Ji out of the city, after dawn, the Hengguo Guild will explain the details......"

Xu Ji suddenly said: "King Jiang be careful. ”

Yang Qinzai was stunned for a moment, stopped his steps, and looked at the ten soldiers behind Xi Yuanyi.

Xi Yuansu was also stunned, looked left and right, and didn't find anything to watch out for.
