(Ask for a subscription and ask for a commuter pass.) ）

With a word of discord, the leaders of the small surnames walked away, the leaders of the seven clans were a little panicked, Xu Ji looked at it in his eyes, and asked: "With the help of the Jingzhou righteous army, our army is nearly 20,000, how many people are on the other side?" ”

Exaggeration will soon become a habit, even in the face of his own people who know, Xu Ji will increase the number of people by a thousand, and everyone doesn't care about it, what makes them afraid are those "little surnames".

Wang Dian said: "There are at least 50,000 people, and now they are not complete." ”

"Why don't you take advantage of its unstable foothold and rush straight over?"

The people around all shook their heads, and Wang Dian said, "Horses are scarce, how can you rush?" What's more, the 10th battalion with the surname has never been too far away, and the rest of the people must be not far behind. ”

Most of the rebels carry their families, and they often retreat in fear of difficulties, unwilling to fight to the death with the enemy, for fear that if they are disabled or dead, a large family will lose protection.

Whoever dares to rush hard will inevitably win, but Xu Ji is facing a group of people, not one person, and it is impossible to stir up fighting spirit with a few words, so he has to find another way.

"What kind of person is that King Wu?" Xu Ji asked.

The people around were stunned for a moment, and Wang Dian said: "He claims to be the grandson of Emperor Xu, but in fact, his origin is unknown, it is said that he used to be a fisherman by the river, and he was selected by a small surname, and he didn't even know how to speak, so he dared to call himself the king." Hey. ”

Speaking of "King Wu", Wang Dian and others scoffed.

"A child?"

"Fourteen or fifteen years old, I am considered an adult, but I have no tutor since I was a child, I am afraid of life, my speech is slurred, and I dare not speak when I see people."

"In this way, King Wu is just a puppet, and there is another person in charge among the leaders of the small surname."

Everyone looked at each other, and Meng Seng Lun said: "It is because there is no one in charge that they will choose an ignorant young man to be the king of Wu." ”

"It's ridiculous to say that these people with small surnames want to rebel, and they are afraid that the court will be protected by the gods, and finally blame them, so they find a puppet and accept the punishment of God on their behalf." Wang Dian had vaguely understood Xu Ji's intentions, and continued: "There is a golden knife Liu who is brave and short-tempered, there is a thousand catties of scales with the best popularity, and he is supported by the small surname, and there is a river dragon, King Wu was found by him, and the fishermen in the camp are more obedient to him. ”

Others added, uttering twelve or thirteen eccentric names in a row, each with its own characteristics and supporters.

Xu Ji roughly understood, felt that it was feasible, and was about to speak, when a soldier ran over in a panic, "The little surname is coming!" ”

The crowd immediately panicked, and even showed an obvious intention to flee.

Xu Ji said loudly: "Don't worry, this move of the little surname must be a temptation, and it will stop soon!" ”

Everyone didn't believe it, Meng Shenglun and Wang Dian shouted loudly, barely suppressed the soldiers, Xu Ji called the leaders of Jingzhou to his side, these people had just merged into the Wu army, they were not familiar with the place, and they trusted Xu Gongzi who brought them over, and they arrived as soon as they called.

If the fight really starts, once the seven clans are scattered, the people of Jingzhou will definitely fall and scatter, Xu Ji knows this, and said to Meng Seng Lun: "Please ask General Meng to find me a stick more than three feet long, and hold it easily, if there are ribbons, gold and silver threads, decorate them at both ends." ”

"What's the use of it?"

"We'll talk about that later." Xu Ji didn't have time to explain.

Meng Shenglun immediately went to prepare, and Xu Ji led more than 20 leaders of Jingzhou to the gate of the camp.

In fact, the seven clans of Jiangdong are the same as the small surname, there are many leaders, and there is no real leader, Meng Shenglun, Wang Dian, and Song Xingju pay more attention to Xu Ji's identity, so they are willing to come forward to receive it.

As for the camp, it was because the boats on the river were lined up, and everyone had to be close to their own boats, so that they were more regular, and once they were far away from the boats, they were set up at will.

Wang Dian said to the leader of the Seven Clans: "Gongzi Xu just said that he would descend to Runan City, who can compare with this merit?" You can't go wrong with following him. ”

The leaders muttered in a low voice that Runan City had surrendered, but they were not allowed to enter, which was not very convincing.

Wang Dian said again: "The characters of the Wu Kingdom are all in the Seven Clans, if we are timid at this time, the face of the entire Wu Kingdom will be lost, why should we recover the homeland and compete with the heroes in the future?" ”

The Wu people have a good face, especially the children of the Seven Clans, who can't stand the contempt of others the most, and they are excited by Wang Dian, and they are finally willing to step forward to keep up with Xu Ji.

The leader was in front, and the soldiers under his command gathered one after another, although they were not in a queue, and from a distance, they were also a large number of people who were pressed by the black.

Meng Senglun squeezed through the crowd and handed over a stick, more than three feet, tied with a strip of red silk cloth at one end, and two silver necklaces wrapped around the other.

Xu Ji took it in his hand, nodded in thanks, and his eyes were still looking into the distance, the tenth battalion with the surname was indeed more numerous, and it was also dominated by infantry, and only a few dozen leaders rode in front of them, gradually approaching.

The people on the other side must stop, otherwise, Xu Ji can only lead people to turn around and ask for help from Runan City, Bao Dun surrendered not long ago, whether he can accept these people, it is really unknown, Xu Ji is even more reluctant to take this risk.

His plan was on the stick in his hand, not a real scuffle.

More than three miles apart, they could already see each other clearly, and Xu Ji clearly felt the tension of everyone behind him.

He was also nervous, but he couldn't show it, but instead raised his stick high and made a decisive posture, and the Jingzhou leaders around him shouted wildly, adding momentum to him.

The small surname Ten Battalions really stopped, confused by the reaction of the Seven Clansmen.

Xu Ji turned around and said: "I will go to negotiate with King Wu, and I must persuade the leader of the small surname to be convinced, and I will not work for you to use knives and guns." ”

Everyone was shocked, one was shocked that this Xu Gongzi was too bold, and the day after he came, he had only met the leader of the small surname once, and he actually wanted to persuade the other party to "be convinced", and the second was shocked that if Xu Gongzi was killed, they would not have the opportunity to take refuge in the city.

Wang Dian immediately said: "Xu Gongzi can't take risks, if you want to negotiate, they will come ......."

The people of the Seven Clans hesitated, Xu Ji didn't want to explain more, and said: "It must be me who goes, just ask one person to go with me and introduce me to me." ”

Wang Dian didn't dare to squeak, the others looked left and right, and the people of Jingzhou couldn't bear the role of introduction, so they condemned the leaders of the seven clans with their eyes.

Meng Shenglun stood up, gritted his teeth and said: "I accompanied Xu Gongzi for a while, the jack scale owes me a favor, with him, others dare not really kill him." ”

"There's General Lao Meng."

The two of them did not ride horses, Xu Ji held the stick, Meng Seng Lun was equipped with a knife, and strode towards the opposite side side by side.

"Xu Gongzi really has a plan, right?" Meng Shenglun had to ask.

"Don't worry, it's all in my chest." Xu Ji does have a small plan, but he doesn't know if he can succeed in his heart, but he is forced to do this, and it is better to do more than he thinks.

The small surname Ten Battalions and the Seven Clans and Nine Battalions are all from Jiangdong, looking at one side and knowing the other side, Xu Ji's confidence comes from this.

Meng Shenglun breathed a sigh of relief, "Xu Gongzi's courage is quite a legacy of Lingtang. ”

Xu Ji smiled, judging from the rumors he had heard, his mother was indeed very courageous.

The small surname Shiying just wanted to enter the city to grab the property, and he didn't really want to fight with the Seven Clans, so seeing that the other party refused to retreat, they had to stop, and when they were confused, they saw the two of them coming, and relieved each other: "There are many of us, the children of the Seven Clans are timid, and the new Xu Gongzi is the same, do you see?" They are here to sue for peace, and they don't even have to leave the big head to Xu Gongzi later. ”

The small surname said that it was ten battalions, but there were more than 30 big and small leaders, some on horseback, some on foot, all gathered together at this time, all with their heads held high, shaking their weapons lightly, and wanting to give the guests a dismount.

"Let me speak later, and when you see King Wu, you will quietly give me a signal." Xu Ji admonished.

Meng Seng Lun was right, he really didn't want to speak.

Xu Ji came to the leaders of the small surname, and he also held his head high, his eyes scanned, and he refused to salute.

Someone on the other side asked, "General Meng, what do you mean by this?" ”

Meng Seng Lun just smiled and refused to answer.

Xu Ji said: "Which one is King Wu?" ”

Immediately, someone shouted: "King Wu is something you can see?" ”

Xu Ji slowly raised the stick with both hands, "Who recognizes this?" ”

It was an ordinary stick, with a slight crack on its surface, and its value was all in the red silk and necklace at both ends.

Everyone was puzzled, but seeing Xu Ji's solemn demeanor, they didn't dare to belittle it immediately, and after a while, someone whispered: "I heard that the king of the world seems to have a magic rod......

Xu Ji was a little tired with his arms raised, and finally heard this sentence, and immediately continued: "That's right, the incarnation king has a 'Kill the Emperor and Destroy the Emperor Stick through the Heavens and the Earth', which is given by Maitreya Buddha himself, and the mana is boundless. ”

Everyone was shocked, believing or doubting, and some people said, "Is this the root?" How did it get into your hands? ”

Xu Ji put down his arm, still holding the stick, "This is not the stick of the incarnation king, but one of the four magic rods created by the incarnation king with the mana of killing the emperor and destroying the emperor......

The more Xu Ji spoke, the more exaggerated it became, and the listeners did not change color, although they did not believe it all, they did not dare to question it immediately.

Meng Shenglun lightly touched Xu Ji's waist, Xu Ji turned around slightly, and saw a pale young man among several leaders.

The boy had stood behind the crowd and now showed a face, obviously more frightened than the others, staring at the stick as if he had been beaten by it.

Xu Ji's hands trembled, gradually intense, as if he couldn't control the stick in his hand, his face changed, and he said sharply: "This stick can't see false people, there must be false people among you, it's still too late to bow down at this time, if it's a little later......"

The end of the stick broke away from Xu Ji's left hand, and directly opposite the people, and the leader of the small surname was so frightened that they retreated.

The stick stopped, pointing right at the boy.

The boy knelt down and kowtowed, "I'm fake, I'm fake......"

Xu Ji's arm gradually stopped trembling, and then he withdrew the stick with great difficulty, "The magic stick reads your first offense, and you sincerely confess your sin, and you don't have the same knowledge as you." ”

The young man collapsed to the ground, and Xu Ji said to the leaders: "You have to choose a new king, the real king of Wu, if you do false things again, Maitreya will condemn the crime, and no one will be forgiven." ”
