He Rongjun suddenly turned to merge with the state, and the most surprised person was Emperor Zhang Shiyu, who really couldn't find anyone else to discuss, so he had to ignore the suspicion and come to see Xu Ji again.

"Really? Shan Yu is going to lead troops into the state early tomorrow morning? ”

In the evening, Xu Ji was having dinner with Chang Yan, nodded and said, "Shan Yu did say so. Have you eaten it? Coarse tea and light rice, let's eat some together. ”

It was the delicacies of the mountains and seas piled up in front of him, and Zhang Shiyu was not in the mood to taste it, "Did you listen to what Shan Yu said with your own ears?" ”

Xu Ji nodded.

"You can't go wrong." Zhang Shiyu was stunned for a while, "What does this mean?" I've also heard that the Tiancheng army will enter the state from the Flying Fox Pass to the north—it is likely to be a fact. ”

"That's what I've heard." Xu Ji said with a smile.

Zhang Shiyu sat opposite Xu Ji, Chang Yanzhi gave up a place a little, and continued to eat.

"But what does that mean?" Zhang Shiyu asked again.

"Shan Yu wants to occupy the state and get rid of the king of Jin, it's obvious."

Zhang Shiyu shook his head, "What do you mean to me?" Why don't I know anything? Just hide it from me, the court ...... Why didn't Huan Yan reveal it to me? ”

"You don't know anything?"

"Yes, I was kept to the core, I just heard the news, and it was even later than you."

Xu Ji put down the dishes and chopsticks and looked the emperor up and down.

Zhang Shiyu became more and more nervous, and also looked down, "What's wrong?" ”

Xu Ji smiled: "No." You are kept in the dark, in fact, it is normal, the reason for this is that you shouldn't ask me, you should ask Zhou Yuanbin Zhou to join the army. ”

"Huh?" Zhang Shiyu pondered for a while and finally understood, "Shan Yu is surrounded by the eyes and ears of King Jin, so you want me to know nothing, so as to deceive Zhou Yuanbin and others?" ”

"That's the best reason I can guess." Xu Ji picked up the dishes and chopsticks and continued to eat.

Zhang Shiyu was stunned for a while, and muttered: "I can pretend to know nothing, why do you have to hide it from me?" I am the emperor, and by doing this, I am treating Huan Yan as the lord of heaven......"

Xu Ji couldn't help but put down the dishes and chopsticks again, "If I were you, I would be more concerned about where the county lord of Huanyan gathered the army from - the Flying Fox Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the state has been deceived, and it is not easy to take it in one fell swoop." ”

"That's right, the soldiers brought by Huanyan to Yuyang are only thousands, where will the army come from in a few days? Lent to her? It's impossible, in that case, there's no point in hiding the news. ”

Chang Yanzhi couldn't help coughing, and then coughed a few times, as if he was choked, and finally said, "Remember?" Shan Yu once detached part of his forces and returned to the outside of the Seychelles. ”

Zhang Shiyu let out a long sigh, "They're back again, but what about outside the plug?" Ignore it alone? ”

Xu Ji said: "This is a bet placed by Shan Yu: the King of Jin claimed that the north out of the Saiwai is a bluff, if he was really deceived, thinking that Shan Yu would not go west to merge with the state, then he would not look north at all, and it is more likely to spread the threat to Qinzhou in the west." ”

"What if the King of Jin insists on going north?"

"Then Shan Yu has to avenge the father and elder outside the Saiwai."

"There are a lot of supporters of the Shen family, so they should be opposed, right?"

"Let's see how you deal with it, I can't speculate, and you shouldn't get involved."

"I won't wade into troubled waters, I just think it's ......"

Someone came in with the curtain lifted, and when they saw Zhang Shiyu, both of them were stunned.

Zhou Yuanbin was very embarrassed, "Ah...... I'll come back later. ”

Zhang Shiyu hurriedly got up, "No need, you stay, I'll leave, I don't have anything to do, just come here......" There was not even a pot of bad wine in the tent, "Come and chat." ”

Zhang Shiyu left in a hurry, and Zhou Yuanbin immediately sat down in his place and said eagerly: "King Jin is your sworn brother, and Gongzi Xu can't die without help." ”

"I can't protect myself right now."

"But Gongzi Xu saved the Huaizhou Army."

"Don't say that, if it reaches Shan Yu's ears, it will be more difficult for me to protect myself."

"Xu Gongzi at least have an idea for me."

"You are related to Shan Yu, I am an outsider, how did I come up with an idea?"

Zhou Yuanbin changed his sitting to kneeling, and said hurriedly: "Can't I kneel for you?" ”

Xu Ji immediately knelt down, "Don't dare to be." ”

Chang Yanzhi put down the dishes and chopsticks, trying to find an excuse to leave, but in the end he just snorted twice, simply didn't say anything, and got up to leave the account.

Zhou Yuanbin sat down, "If Gongzi Xu can find a way to prevent Shan Yu from entering the west and merging the state, the king of Jin will ...... I made a promise for the king of Jin, and I would like to give you half of the state. ”

Xu Ji smiled: "Zhou Senjun really understands my preferences. ”

"Whatever you want, King Jin also has a younger sister, who has not yet married, and the country is ...... beautiful"

The more Zhou Yuanbin spoke, the more chaotic he became, and Xu Ji interrupted, "You must have persuaded Shan Yu, what did he say?" ”

"I went to see Shan Yu with dozens of adults, Chen said that Tiancheng is not credible, and He Rongbu has been friends with the Shen family for many years, but Shan Yu said that the world is big and personal relations are small, but he will not embarrass us, he will leave us in Yecheng, and the safety of the state has nothing to do with us......"

"Just what you say is reasonable, and it is more generous to you." Xu Ji praised.

Zhou Yuanbin was a little angry, "Xu Gongzi, is this going to be sincerely loyal to Shan Yu?" But he's not here......"

"If you have to find loopholes in Shan Yu's body and words from the beginning, then you are doomed to find nothing, and even if you find some clues, you will not be trusted."

"I know that Xu Gongzi knows a lot of truth, and I will definitely listen to you in the future, but now I just want a way and a clever plan to make Shan Yu change his mind."

"What about the eldest wife alone?"

"Well, don't mention it." Zhou Yuanbin really didn't want to mention the "Seventh Sister", especially since she was also surnamed Zhou, which made him feel guilty about King Jin.

Xu Ji thought for a while, "There is no persuasion in this matter at the moment, we must wait a little longer." ”

"Wait a little longer......"

Xu Ji raised his hand, indicating that he still had something to say, but he didn't speak immediately, but waited for a while, "Do you believe in King Jin?" ”

"Of course."

"Do you believe that he has the resources of an emperor and will be able to win the world in the end?"

"Uh......" Although Zhou Yuanbin was anxious, he still realized that there might be a trap hidden in this question, "The King of Jin has the resources of an emperor, but whether he can win the world depends on luck, and the most important luck comes from Shan Yu here." ”

"Well answered." Xu Ji smiled, and then straightened his expression, "If you believe that King Jin has the qualifications of an emperor, you should believe that he will not be easily deceived, and he will not be easily defeated by He Rongbu." ”

"And then?"

"Then you have to go and admonish Shan Yu again, and if the second persuasion fails, you have to persuade three times and four times until you are angry."

Zhou Yuanbin cried with a sad face, "It's useless, just before I get angry, some people want to give up, and in the end, I'm afraid that I will only be left alone." ”

"The last few remaining people are your loyal allies with the King of Jin, stay in Yecheng honestly with them, don't do anything, and wait for news. If the King of Jin is vulnerable, I advise you to give up as well, if the King of Jin can block the attack from the north and the south and bring the war to a stalemate, then you still have a chance. ”

"No...... A quick fix? Zhou Yuanbin still has a glimmer of hope.

"There was a bloody bitter admonition in the history books, in order to persuade the Lord to change his mind and dare to sacrifice his body, can Zhou join the army do it?"

"Can ......" Zhou Yuanbin looked embarrassed.

"Even if it can, it may not be easy to use, and there are many exaggerations and untruths in the book."

"Then what did Xu Gongzi say?"

"If Zhou joins the army and only wants to be worthy of the King of Jin, don't care whether it is good or not, just give advice, if you want to do something practical, just listen to my advice, and wait, when the King of Jin is worth saving, Shan Yu will think of you again. One is famous, the other is true: for the famous, the effect is immediate, the king of Jin is killed on the battlefield, and others will also say that you Zhou Yuanbin is a loyal minister; For the truth, but to risk the risk of ruining the reputation, the king of Jin is defeated, you have no chance to advise Shan Yu, then everyone will be afraid of you and retreat, and refuse to savior at the moment of crisis. ”

Zhou Yuanbin hesitated for a long time, "Then I'll still listen to Xu Gongzi, and then persuade Shan Yu, but it really won't work, just wait in Yecheng for a while." ”

Zhou Yuanbin got up, "No matter what happens in the end, I have to thank Xu Gongzi." ”

"You're welcome, if things are successful, it is the friendship that your Zhou family has accumulated over the years that is useful, not my strength."

"No, no, without Xu Gongzi's guidance, I won't use any more friendship." Zhou Yuanbin took his leave.

As soon as Zhou Yuanbin went out, Chang Yanzhi flashed in and whispered: "I can hear it, this Zhou Yuanbin is uneasy and kind." ”

"Did you hear that?"

"Well, I'm standing in the doorway, I can't hear clearly, but I understand the meaning. Zhou Yuanbin took a 'Xu Gongzi's method', and it will be done in the future, all of which is his own credit, once he fails, he will push it on Gongzi and claim that he was mistaken by you. ”

"You can see it clearly, this is also one of the disadvantages of persuasion: persuasion may not be successful, and if you fail to persuade you, you will be blamed."

"Childe must know better than me, but you still 'want to persuade'."

"I see that you haven't touched a knife for a long time, and you feel that how much kung fu is left?"

"Huh? This one...... I can't tell, it's definitely not as good as before. ”

Xu Ji pointed to his mouth, "It's the same, if you don't practice often, you will become clumsy, so you have to persuade people often, and whether you can succeed or not is second." ”

Chang Yanzhi laughed, "It turns out that the son is practicing his mouth, just don't make trouble with the practice." ”

For the rest of the day, no one came to Xu Ji for help, and Shan Yu didn't summon him, so he was busy dispatching troops.

Early the next morning, He Rongjun pulled out the camp and marched straight to Bingzhou, setting up camps along the way to ensure the supply of grain and grass.

He Rongjun entered Bingzhou from the south, passing through Mengjin on the way, only to see that the small city in the north was in ruins, and the bridge connecting the south bank was nowhere to be seen, but in a few days, the Liang army cut off this main road, not only to stop the enemy army, but also to show that he had no intention of going north to participate in the chaos of Bingzhou.

Shan Yu paused here, looked at the ruins and the south bank on horseback, and smiled at the people on the left and right: "The people of the Central Plains are so timid, God-given opportunity, let me He Rong Department enter Kyushu, you should work hard to forge ahead, it will take three years at most, I and you drink the wine of the Quartet, enjoy the beauties of the world, and gather the treasures of the world!" ”

The cheers came and went, and Xu Ji, who was following far behind, could also hear it, and couldn't help but sigh lightly, and whispered to Chang Yanzhi: "With the size of Kyushu, isn't there a real hero who takes advantage of the time?" I don't know how much longer I'll have to wait. ”
