Chapter 265: Gift

really saw King Wu, Liu Youzhong had nothing to say.

The two met outside the city, the road was muddy, each riding on a horse, bowing hands to each other, greetings, King Wu had no entourage, the people brought by Liu Youzhong stood in the distance, Meng Jin's sentry was even farther away, whispering, the rumors about King Wu and Liu Xiangshi's magic combined, making this meeting full of mystery.

For Xu Ji, this meeting was nothing special, it just saved him a rush, "What a coincidence, I was about to visit King Jin." ”

Liu Youzhong looked at King Wu carefully and said with a smile: "King Jin has always missed King Wu, and he has to say a few words every day, saying that he can't thank King Wu for his send-off in person, which is a pity." ”

"At that time, the king of Jin brought a Jizhou army into the city and was ambushed, which made our army win a great victory, which was enough to compensate for the send-off."

"Haha." Liu Youzhong laughed, not blushing at all, "It's a little meaning." I heard that King Wu won consecutive battles after that, which can be described as invincible in the world, and it won't be long before he can pacify the Henan Prefectures, and the King of Jin is waiting for him in the state......"

"I'm not going to be King Wu anymore." Xu Ji interrupted.

"King Wu...... Want to be emperor? Congratulations, the king of Jin will be the first to be a minister. ”

"Mr. Liu must have heard that I gave up the king's name, and from now on, I will only be clothed and clothed."

Liu You finally showed a look of extreme surprise, "There are rumors, but I think it was a lie made up by someone, King Wu...... You're not kidding me, are you? ”

"How can this kind of thing be a joke, you see that I am alone now, except for two horses, and there is no retinue, I should know that the rumors are true."

Liu Youzhong laughed dryly, "King Wu does things...... It's hard to guess. ”

"To be able to call 'Xu Gongzi' is full of true feelings."

The two once worshipped, and no one mentioned this matter at this time, Liu Youzhong finally said: "Young Master Xu...... Come with me to see King Jin? ”

"No need, please ask Mr. Liu to bring a message to King Jin for me."

"Okay, Xu Gongzi, please speak."

"Tell the King of Jin: Tan Wuxian is a strange person, if he can use it, there will be a big reward, if he can't use it, he will kill it, and he must not be placed in a low position for a long time, and he will be in trouble."

Liu Youzhong was stunned for a moment, he had never liked Tan Wuwu, and he didn't care about the life and death of this person, but King Jin and Xu Ji both thought that Tan Wuwu had the talent of a general, but now it was Xu Ji who suggested that King Jin "kill if he should be killed", which surprised him.

Compared with the abdication of King Wu, this was just a small accident, and Liu Youzhong smiled and said, "I must bring it." Since Xu Gongzi has removed the king name, why not go to Jinyang to live temporarily, although Jinyang is small, it is still strong and can keep Xu Gongzi safe. ”

"Maybe I will go in the future, but I'm not in a hurry now, I still have to go to Yecheng."

"Yecheng? The people of Jizhou hate you to the core. ”

"It's okay, I saved the life of the king of Xiangdong and let him go back to Jizhou, Yecheng should read this favor, right?"

Liu Youzhi nodded, "When Gongzi Xu goes to Yecheng, do you want to take refuge, or ...... Have an axe to grind? ”

"It's hard to say, it depends on Yecheng's attitude." Xu Ji thought for a while, and seemed to have something to say, but suddenly gave up his hand, "Farewell, see you in the future, I will have a long talk with Mr. Liu." ”

"Definitely." Liu Youzhong was also in a hurry to go back.

"Mr. Liu knows the world and knows all the time, can he have a true word to give him when he leaves?"

"It's hard to walk at night, Xu Gongzi is alone, be careful." Liu Youzhong didn't show off his magical powers, gave an ordinary reminder, turned around and joined his entourage, and galloped away.

Liu Youzhong ran westward, Xu Ji went east, and walked slowly, dozens of Mengjin soldiers followed not far behind.

After walking for a few miles, Xu Ji reined in his horse, turned around and said, "Don't work to send each other, please go back." ”

The sentinels looked at each other, and the leader said loudly: "King Wu is leaving, who should we follow in the future?" ”

"Are you Liang Bing?"

"We used to be the Incarnation Army, and then we were assigned to the Liang King's tent, but we didn't kill the Incarnation King with him. When we heard that the Descendant Army was going west and was going back to Qinzhou, we were also a little moved. Hesitating, please show King Wu. ”

"What does Liu Xiangshi suggest?" Xu Ji guessed that these people must have asked Liu Youzhong.

"He told us not to go south, saying woe to the south."

"Do you have any family to stay in the Eastern Capital?"

"Some people do, some don't, and their relatives have already died."

"Those who have family members stay in Mengjin, wait for King Liang's arrangement, and those who don't have family members go to King Jin, please say hello to King Jin on my behalf."

"Aren't you going back to Qinzhou?"

"You say that you did not participate in the killing of the Incarnation King, and the Incarnation Army traveling west may not believe it, so instead of bothering to explain, it is better to vote for someone else."

The sentinels nodded, feeling that what King Wu said was reasonable.

"Thank you King Wu, you have done us a great favor, no matter what, you are always King Wu in our eyes."

Xu Ji smiled and returned the salute, turned around and continued to move forward, this time no one followed.

On the other end, Liu Youzhong hurriedly whipped up, returned to the Jin camp before midnight, hurriedly came to see the king of Jin, and said as soon as he entered the tent: "It's true!" It's true! ”

Shen Tan got up and motioned for several generals to take the lead and retreat, "King Wu really abdicated?" ”

Liu Youzhong gasped a few times, nodded and said, "It's true, I saw King Wu, and he was going to Yecheng alone." ”

"You saw King Wu himself?"

"Yes, outside Mengjin City, he happened to be there, alone, he was going to see King Jin, but after meeting me, he went to Yecheng instead, and asked me to bring a few words to King Jin."

"Say what?"

"It is said that the King of Jin can use Tan uselessly, and if he can't use it, he must get rid of it as soon as possible, otherwise, it will become a big disaster."

Shen Tan was also stunned, "King Wu and Tan have a deep affection, how could they say such a thing?" ”

"Tan senselessly fled back to King Jin's side, Xu Ji was probably annoyed in his heart, so he ......"

"You call him 'Xu Ji'?"

"He asked for it himself, he said that he didn't want to be the king of Wu, but just clothed Xu Ji."

"Hey. You say he's alone? ”

"Yes, one man and two horses, the King of Jin is now sending troops to attack the eastern capital, and it is still too late to be able to seize the front of Jizhou and Jingzhou."

Shen Tan was not in a hurry, and sighed, "Mr. Liu should bring King Wu here." ”

"I want to too, but he doesn't want to, thousands of soldiers from Mengjin are guarding the side, I can't ......help it" Liu Youzhong casually exaggerated the strength dozens of times, not at all weak.

"He did go to Yecheng?"

"This ...... I was in a hurry to come back and didn't see it, but he did say so, so there shouldn't be any need to lie. ”

Shen Tan immediately called in a general and ordered him to bring a hundred soldiers, bypass the Mengjin guards, and go east to chase King Wu, "It's best to bring it back alive, if King Wu is really unwilling, you can dispose of it, in short, you have to bring it back." ”

The generals obeyed the order and left.

Liu You didn't understand it, "It is the top priority to seize the eastern capital first, and since Xu Ji has abdicated, why ......"

Shen Tan sneered, "How could King Wu abdicate for no reason?" How could you go to Yecheng for no reason? It is inevitable that the eastern capital has become a hot potato, and whoever holds it in his hand will suffer from it. As for Yecheng, King Wu secretly took refuge, I'm afraid it's not a matter of a day or two. ”

Liu You finally suddenly realized, "The King of Jin thought it through, but the Jizhou army was defeated ...... that time."

"Who is the person in charge of Yecheng?"

"The Empress Dowager, the King of Xiangdong, the King of Jibei, and it is said that there is also a county lord of Huanyan, who is quite valued by the three of them and obeys her words."

"Who is the Jizhou Army?"

"It originally belonged to the Huangfu family, and was later ...... by Wang Tiemei I understand, Wang Tiemei is a border general, but he has become the master of the army. Ye Cheng was worried about raising tigers, so he wanted his soldiers, not him himself - this trick was really ruthless. In this way, Xu Ji has actually been doing things for Yecheng, so why didn't he hand over the eastern capital to Yecheng? ”

"Something must have happened in the eastern capital, so that King Wu can't do whatever he wants."

Liu You finally said angrily: "I'll go again, this time I will go straight to the Eastern Capital, I must find out, and then come back to see King Jin." ”

Shen Tan smiled: "Without Mr. Liu, I really don't know what to do, like a brother." ”

"It's a big regret for me that I can't charge for King Jin, it's always okay to run errands. Please wait for my news, it will only take three days to go back and forth. ”

"Hard work Mr. Liu. It's late today, Mr. Liu will go to rest first, and it's not too late to leave tomorrow morning. ”

Liu Youzhong is old and can't stand the toss overnight, so he really needs to rest for a while, so he said goodbye and reminded: "Tan is useless......"

"If you take King Wu's words too seriously, you will be in a scheme."

Liu Youzhong didn't say anything more, returned to his tent, and after entering, he saw that the candles inside were bright, warm as midsummer, and two thinly dressed women were chatting on the bed, and they smiled when they saw him.

Liu Youzhong finally recognized one of them as a beauty that he hadn't had time to enjoy, but the other girl was a stranger, with a more gorgeous appearance and a more charming smile.

"It's ...... Who sent you here? Liu Youzhong asked while undressing.

"King Jin ordered me to serve Mr. Liu well."

Liu Youzhong was ecstatic, "Those who know me, the king of Jin, follow such a lord, what more can a husband ask for?" Xu Ji wasted his hands and feet, and it won't be a big deal after all......"

Shen Tan appeased Liu Youzhong, and ordered someone to summon Tan Wuzhong, and he couldn't be indifferent to King Wu's words.

Tan Wuxuan was summoned in the middle of the night, and he was happy in his heart, "King Jin has decided?" I only need 10,000 ......."

"King Wu did abdicate, but I don't plan to attack the eastern capital."

"Why?"

"General Tan has always been ambitious, think about it more, and don't have to be obsessed with the eastern capital."

"If you take the Eastern Capital, you can occupy the entire Luozhou ......" Tan Wuwu still thought about it, "He Rongbu? ”

"Well, He Rongbu is a borrowed soldier, and it is a borrowed soldier with the help of Yecheng, the Jin army is now capturing the eastern capital, and the credit must be distributed to He Rongbu, and it will fall into the hands of Yecheng, and the Jin army will be busy in vain."

"Will He Rongbu be so loyal to Yecheng?"

"If it weren't for that, would King Wu go to Yecheng alone? Alas, my brother-in-law Zhou Yuanbin's association with He Rongbu for generations is not as good as a marriage between the sons of the king of Jibei. ”

"I am often by King Wu's side, and when I hear some things, Yecheng's ideas seem to be the work of Lord Huanyan."

"Well, of course it's her, it's always been her. Even if King Ning is lustful, King Wu is also ...... It's unexpected. ”

Tan nodded senselessly.

Shen Tan looked at Tan Wusense, "The so-called invitation to God is easy and difficult to send God, I want to go back to Jinyang, but the tens of thousands of He Rongbu cavalry in the army don't know what to do, does General Tan have an idea?" ”

"Let them attack the eastern capital, defeat it, the king of Jin will share the merits, if it can't be defeated, the loss is also theirs."

"It's a brilliant plan." Shen Tan said with a smile, "He Rong's soldiers are unruly, I don't know if General Tan is willing to take charge of the troops on my behalf?" ”

"Yes." Tan was unnecessarily overjoyed.

"Okay, tomorrow General Tan will lead his troops south, and I will lead the army back to the north - Lord Huanyan and King Wu are both scheming people, the more I attract everyone to the Eastern Capital, the more I want to return to Jinyang."

"King Jin has thought it through."

Shen Tan nodded, whether he should reuse or kill Tan Wuwu, with the help of this command, he could make a decision.

"I have sent someone to chase after King Wu, and I may be able to chase him back." Shen Tan said casually, it depends on Tan's senseless reaction.

Tan Wuxuan was slightly stunned, "Since King Wu has abdicated, there should be no threat...... The king of Jin is in charge, I will go to capture the eastern capital, even if I can't leave it behind, I must take this opportunity to fight for a few cities for the king of Jin as compensation. ”

"It's all up to General Tan."

"King Wu...... Can you bring it back alive? ”

"It's hard to say."

Tan Wuwu's expression darkened, and Shen Tan's heart moved.
