When the news of Ningjun's victory came, Gan Zhao, the king of Shu, was drinking in the cabin, listening to two women playing the pipa and singing, he was shocked when he heard the news, threw the cup in his hand at the singer, and said angrily: "The slut mistook me!" Slut misunderstands me! ”

The singer escaped with the pipa in her arms, and she couldn't understand why she was offended.

Tie Yuan, Li Shengguo and other generals hurriedly ran to check the situation, but their anger was still not relieved, and they reprimanded the generals: "It's all waste, I want food and soldiers every day, and when it's really time to use you, it's all waste." ”

The generals were even more inexplicable, but they didn't dare to run, so they had to listen hard.

Gan Zhao scolded for a while, sat down in a daze, the iron eagle was not only the head of the generals, but also related to the king of Shu, so he stepped forward and hugged his fist and said: "Who angered the king of Shu?" Although we are stupid, we all have a loyal, what the king of Shu pointed out ......"

Gan Zhao shook his head and said softly: "It has nothing to do with you, it's my momentary gaffe that is angry with you." Alas, Ning Baoguan actually won, and it was a big victory......"

The iron eagle became more and more confused, "This ...... It's a good thing, I heard that Shan Yu is also dead, and He Rong's army is defeated......"

"Stupid!" Gan Zhao couldn't help but be angry again, "If the heroes defeat He Rongbu together, this is a good thing, we have been holding our troops still, and there is still time to get a piece of the pie at this time, and now it is King Ning who is the only winner, this is bad, it is bad......" Gan Zhao's face changed slightly, like many people, he was also a little afraid of Ning Baoguan in his heart, especially after hearing the news of Qunxiong's murder.

Neither the Iron Eagle nor the generals knew what to say.

"Call Guo Shifeng over." Gan Zhao said, and immediately changed his words: "Please come here." Stand back for a moment, for you will be needed in the time of war. ”

Guo Shifeng had also heard that the Ning army had won a great victory, so he was confident, and after entering the cabin, he smiled and saluted, neither humble nor arrogant.

Gan Zhao invited Guo Shifeng to sit down, ordered someone to serve tea, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Guo can make me miserable." ”

Guo Shifeng held the teacup and said in surprise: "Where did you start with this?" Guo lived in the army of the King of Shu, and he has always been cautious in his words and deeds, and he did not dare to take a step beyond Lei Chi. ”

Gan Zhao didn't get angry, and still smiled: "Mr. Guo persuaded me to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, I listen to you, now that the two tigers are fighting and one tiger wins, what should I do?" ”

Guo Shifeng showed a look of sudden realization, put down the teacup, and arched his hand: "Is it because of the victory of the Ning army?" ”

Gan Zhao nodded.

Guo Shifeng thought for a while, "What did I say when I persuaded the King of Shu to stay still for the time being?" ”

"You said that the king of Jin has besieged Xiangyang for a long time, and he has the intention of retreating, the Shu army participated in the war at this time, and the victory is attributed to the king of Jin, and the defeat is to blame. When the Jin army was defeated, you said that Shan Yu was strong and the heroes were weak, and if you participated in the war at this time, you couldn't control the battle situation, and you couldn't get Shan Yu's attention, so let me wait a few more days. After a few days, you said that the heroes were forced to a dead end, and they must fight back desperately, and when they were frustrated and sent people to ask for help, it was not too late for the Shu army to land on the shore. ”

Guo Shifeng said with a smile: "The King of Shu remembers clearly, I did say so. ”

"But now it's He Rongren who is defeated."

"The so-called plan is in the sky, no one thought that Shan Yu would die on the battlefield, but my advice remains the same."

Gan Zhao's face sank slightly, "Could it be that Mr. Guo wants me to chase me outside the plug to seek refuge with He Rongren, who has no Shan Yu?" ”

"Since the King of Shu can take refuge in Shan Yu, why can't he take refuge in King Ning? The King of Shu has never seen Shan Yu, but he has an old friendship with King Ning, isn't it obvious which is better or worse? ”

Gan Zhao pondered for a moment and shook his head, "It's not appropriate." ”

"What's wrong?"

"King Ning's great victory, it is the time when Mr. Guo called 'strong', I did not participate in the war before, what is the difference between taking refuge in King Ning at this time and taking refuge in Shan Yu at the beginning?"

"There's a big difference. The world's Kyushu, single in has occupied Hebei, and, Qin, Han four states, the army into Jing, seize Xiangyang, this so-called sweeping trend, the king of Shu at that time defected, but is to look at the wind and fall. King Ning is different, Wuzhou is unstable, threatened by the Sheng family, in Jingzhou, there are also Xi family tigers, burning ships, then the south can not cross the river, failed to make He Rong's army annihilated, then the north is not allowed to enter Hebei, and the states. At this time, although the king of Ning is carrying the power of victory, but not only in the past, the king of Shu sent troops, then the king of Ning took refuge in this and the other, left and right, the king of Shu took refuge, then the king of Ning got the backing, going north, returning to the east, going south, all according to his will. According to this authority, the king of Shu is still worried that King Ning will not be valued? ”

Gan Zhao snorted, "In that case, why don't I choose to send troops immediately and attack it unprepared?" ”

"The Shu army can make the Ning army take care of this failure, but it can't be eliminated, the odds of winning are fifty percent, this battle can be fought, but both are defeated, the one who benefits the most is the Jiangling Xi family, followed by the Huaizhou Sheng family, and then the He Rong people in the north, and finally the King of Liang who is attacking and merging the state, what can the king of Shu get?"

"Defeat King Ning, you can go down the river, capture Jing and ask Wu."

Guo Shifeng got up and arched his hand and said: "The king of Shu has such ambitions, it is gratifying to congratulate, defeat the Ning army, capture Jiangling, ask Wuzhou, and then go north to Huai and Luo, and the soldiers refer to He Rong and the king of Liang, at least three years, more than ten years, and the king of Shu can be the lord of Kyushu." ”

Gan Zhao laughed, "Mr. Guo doesn't need to be ridiculed, I'm just talking, and I don't mean to win the world, Yizhou still has internal troubles, and I can't spare my hands." In fact, it's not that I don't want to take refuge in King Ning, it's really King Ning...... Mr. Guo understands what I mean? ”

"Understood, but please think deeply about the king of Shu, who is most likely to take advantage of the situation to dominate Kyushu?"

Gan Zhao was silent, and said for a long time: "After King Ning exterminates the heroes, he will destroy Yizhou when he turns his head." ”

"I don't dare to guarantee things that are too far away, but only for the moment, I can persuade King Ning to give up Yiling to King Shu."

"Will King Ning agree?"

"King Ning's attack on Jing is to eliminate the Xi family, Jiangling City in the east is enough, Yiling in the west is closer to Yizhou, it can be the gateway to the King of Shu, I am fully sure to persuade King Ning to let it out, there is only one."

"Mr. Guo, please speak."

"The king of Shu needs to provide some grain and grass, and Yiling City is just the place to be handed over."

Gan Zhao smiled: "This is easy to say." But the gateway to Yizhou is not only a waterway. ”

Guo Shifeng understood what he meant, "Hanzhou is not in the hands of King Ning, so it can't be conceded, but if King Shu can take Hanzhou, King Ning will not object." ”

"Xiangyang is about to fall into the hands of King Ning, right?"

Guo Shifeng was slightly embarrassed, "I don't lie, persuade King Ning to give up Xiangyang, I am only six or seven percent sure." ”

"I want Xiangyang not to peep into the Central Plains, I just hope to be able to stay with Yiling on land and water, and ask for more peace of mind. As for further things, as Mr. Guo said, no one could have predicted it, there is no need to force it, if King Ning can really dominate the world, Yizhou should obey the mandate of heaven. ”

Guo Shifeng thought for a while, "Yiling will return to Yizhou, Hanzhou will be taken by the king of Shu, and as for Xiangyang, I will strongly persuade King Ning to let it out." The Sheng clan soldiers and Stone City, King Ning is like an arrow, maybe he will agree, but I can't give the King of Shu ten percent of the guarantee. ”

"Understood, please Mr. Guo tell King Ning, he wants to be at ease, I also want to be at ease, he knows who I am, I also know who he is, I hope he can focus on the overall situation."

"Guo made a note, when can I leave?"

"Without further ado, Mr. Guo, let's go, and I'll send someone to send you to the north shore. On the hundreds of miles of the river, only I have some boats left, if King Ning wants to go straight down the river to Jiangling City, he can borrow a boat from me. ”

Guo Shifeng arched his hand and smiled: "If you fight, you will lose both, and peace will complement each other, the king of Shu understands this principle, and the king of Ning will not be confused." ”

The two of them talked a few more words, and willingly ordered people to prepare ships, horses, congratulatory gifts and other things, and wrote a letter by hand, in humble terms, asking Guo Shifeng to hand it over to King Ning.

Guo Shifeng changed the boat and went on the road, and Gan Zhao immediately recruited the generals and asked them to send scouts from afar to prepare for the war, "If King Ning can accept all my conditions, it would be better, I don't care if I am half a head lower than him, let him go to fight with the heroes, and we will stick to Yizhou." It is difficult to say this person who is King Kening, but I know one thing, if he does not agree, he will never bargain back and forth, but concentrate all his strength to raid our army, you must not be on guard, Yizhou's safety is at this time. ”

Tie Fei and the others were all born in the Descending Army, and they knew Ning Baoguan quite well, so they all thought deeply of King Shu's words.

Guo Shifeng is "like an arrow", he was trapped in the Shu army, failed to participate in the victory of the Ning army, and was eager to return to King Ning and make a great contribution.

He promised King Ning that he could leave Yiling, but in fact, the city was still in the hands of others.

Yang Qinzai died in Jiangbei, but most of his naval army remained in Yiling City, did not surrender to King Ning, because the ships were destroyed, the two sides looked at each other across the water, and no one could do anything.

Guo Shifeng sailed along the north shore by boat, abandoned the ship and landed in the afternoon of the same day, and rushed to the camp with more than 100 soldiers of the Ning army - the scouts of the Shu army had already inquired about the rough location of the camp.

In the evening, Guo Shifeng looked at the military camp, which was closer than he expected, he didn't think too much, ran in a hurry, and said loudly to the oncoming soldiers: "I am Guo Shifeng, I have something urgent to see King Ning immediately!" ”

The soldiers went in to report, and soon someone opened the camp gate and invited the group in.

Guo Shifeng left his guards behind and walked quickly to the Chinese military tent, only to notice that this did not seem to be King Ning's tent until he reached the door.

"King Ning here?" Guo Shifeng asked the leader.

"King Ning is not here, General Song is here."

Guo Shifeng was stunned, "Which General Song?" ”

"It's that General Song, who else could it be?"

"Song Weichen? Song takes bamboo? ”

Song Weichen was the old department of King Ning, and Song Zhuzhu was one of the heroes who joined later.

"The latter." The soldier who led the way replied, and gave a gentle push, "Go in, don't let General Song wait for a long time." ”

Guo Shifeng had no choice but to enter the account, wondering in his heart, it is said that King Ning killed all the heroes, why could this Song Zhuzhu live alone?

Song Zhuzhu left his seat to greet him and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, I actually met Mr. Guo here." ”

"Ahh Guo Shifeng arched his hand and said, "Where is King Ning?" ”

"King Ning's camp is dozens of miles away."

"Misunderstanding, I came from the King of Shu, I have something extremely important, I must see King Ning as soon as possible, and ask General Song to send someone to give me a ride."

"It's a coincidence just now, but it's not a coincidence in a blink of an eye, I finally met Mr. Guo, there are many things I want to ask for, why do I have to leave?"

"It's really urgent, I'll definitely come back to visit in the future."

"No matter how urgent you are, you can have a drink?"

Guo Shifeng's face sank slightly, "General Song, you don't like you are a minister of King Ning. ”

Song Zhuzhu sighed, "Just because he is the minister of King Ning, I don't worry about letting Mr. Guo go over." ”

"What do you mean?"

"Mr. Guo is from the King of Shu?"

"I just said that."

"There are rumors that the King of Shu is going to send someone to assassinate King Ning."

Guo Shifeng smiled bitterly and said: "The King of Shu has no such intentions, he is eager to make peace with King Ning, so he has evil intentions, and he will not send me as an assassin." ”

Song Zhuzhu still didn't believe it, Guo Shifeng had to tell the general situation, "General Song is really not at ease, let me go to see King Ning alone, and the guards brought by me will stay with you, is it okay?" In fact, the guards are also subordinates of King Ning, but it doesn't hurt for General Song to be cautious. ”

"Okay." Song reluctantly agreed, summoned a general, and ordered him to lead his troops to send Mr. Guo to King Ning's camp.

Song Zhuzhu sent the guests to the gate of the camp, turned around and entered another tent, and said to Xu Ji: "If Mr. is as expected, the King of Shu wants to negotiate peace." ”

"Don't miss the opportunity." Xu Ji got up, "General Song will send someone to see the King of Shu, and he will definitely seize Yizhou before King Ning." ”
