Zhang Shiqing is half a head taller than the person in Xu Ji's memory, but he is dark and thin, and his face has no original innocence, but the princess's arrogance has not changed, and her face is expressionless, as if she is looking at a stranger.

"You...... Skinny. Xu Ji said.

"Hmm." Zhang Shiqing replied coldly, "I'll ...... you"

"You know what? Colorful is still alive. ”

"Huh?" Zhang Shiqing's face was surprised, and he regained a little of his old expression in an instant.

"She pretended to be you and was captured by He Rongren and rescued by King Ning's soldiers in Xiangyang."

"Where's she?"

"I left her in the camp of General Song and Zhu."

"Who is Song Zhuzhu?"

"It was originally a heroic man in Xiangyang, known as Song Qianshou, and he was also a disciple of Fan Guan."

"Why did you leave Colorful with him?"

"I went north this time, and the road was difficult, and I couldn't take her with me."

"Is this Song Zhuzhu credible?"

……

Every time Xu Ji answered, he could always attract more questions, so he started from the beginning, from the situation in the world to the situation in Jingzhou, and then to Jiangnan, and finally said: "For a while, I couldn't find a safer place than General Song." ”

When Xu Ji spoke, Zhang Shiqing didn't squeak, and when the tirade was finished, she only cared about one thing, raised her hand and patted her heart lightly twice, "I thought that Colorful died for me, and I was sad for a long time." Zhang Shiqing smiled, and immediately turned cold again, "Why are you here?" ”

Xu Ji was still looking at her, "Aren't you going to learn from me to see the general trend?" How do you make yourself look like a pawn? ”

"Your general trend is too boring, I decided not to study it, it is more interesting to learn to fight with the Golden Holy Maiden."

"You want to learn the art of war?" Xu Ji said in surprise.

"The art of war is also boring, I am learning to ride a horse and shoot arrows, dance knives and make lances, and in the future, I will capture the flag on the battlefield."

"Huh?" Xu Ji was taken aback.

"What, you think I can't do it?" Zhang Shiqing's eyes widened, "If you go it alone, there are few people in the army who are my opponents, and the Golden Sage said that I will participate in the next battle......"

Xu Ji smiled: "I just had an accident." What did you just say about looking for me? ”

"The Golden Holy Maiden sent me back first to ask you about someone."

"She knows I'm coming?"

"Do you want to listen to me?"

"Say, who do you ask?"

"Tan is meaningless."

Xu Ji was taken aback again, "This is my sworn brother, and he is very familiar with him—the Golden Holy Maiden should also know him." ”

"Jin Shengnu said that she had met and knew each other in Dongdu, but she didn't understand, and she felt that this person was boastful, not like an honest person, but she was afraid of missing out on talents, so she wanted to ask you."

"Please invite the Golden Holy Maiden to invite him no matter what, whether this battle is won or lost is all on this person."

"He's so good?" Zhang Shiqing was a little skeptical, "There are many famous generals, why haven't I heard of any great deeds about him?" ”

"Tan is meaningless, the sword in the box, the jade in the stone, and outsiders don't know it."

"He's got a long sword, but he doesn't look like he can use it. He's really powerful? ”

"Hmm."

"Okay, that's what you said anyway, I'll just go back and say what I said."

Zhang Shiqing was about to leave, and Xu Ji said, "Wait a minute." ”

"What else is there to say?"

Xu Ji hesitated for a while, "Forget it, I'll talk about it later." ”

Zhang Shiqing pursed his lips, walked to the door and suddenly stopped, "You can't live up to the Golden Holy Maiden anymore." After saying that, he left, and didn't give Xu Ji a chance to reply.

The next morning, Zhang Shiqing and a team of female soldiers returned to the camp with Tan Wuwu, but Jin Shengnu did not accompany her, it is said that she went to Liangzhou to check the situation non-stop, and recruited Yang Mengjun to lead the troops to meet her.

Tan Wusense's appearance has not changed much, he still carries the long sword, and he walks with his head held high, which is quite eye-catching.

Xu Ji walked out of the camp and said with a smile: "Why did the second brother come here?" ”

"It's hard to put it into words, is there wine? Let's talk while we drink. ”

Xu Ji specially invited Yin Fu to introduce him in the center and drink together.

Tan Wuwu didn't notice that Xu Ji didn't drink well, and talked about his experience while drinking.

Tan Wuwu was not allowed to be reused under the account of the King of Jin, and was assigned to the border pass to guard the city, and when the King of Jin surrendered to Shan Yu, and the border pass of the state must be open to the people of He Rong, Tan Wuwei became more and more idle.

The descending army and the Yizhou army attacked the outside of the Saiwai tribes, and some of the people fled to the outside of the border of Bingzhou, they could not distinguish the difference between the people of Qinzhou and the people of Bingzhou, and they were all regarded as people from the Central Plains, and when they saw that the checkpoint was open, they rushed in, killing and plundering, claiming to be taking revenge.

The border generals did not dare to stop it, so they could only retreat into the city to protect themselves.

Tan senselessly fabricated a copy of the will of the king of Jin, mobilized thousands of soldiers, took advantage of the slackness of the tribes, sneaked up on the camp where they stored the spoils, did not take it away, burned it to the ground, and then claimed to attack the lair of the He Rong people, fled to the outside of the fortress, and lured the soldiers of the tribes to chase after him.

Only twenty or thirty people were willing to go out with him, and the group hid and ran to northern Qin.

The Qinzhou checkpoints are all in the hands of He Rongren, Tan Wuwu and the others can only continue to detour westward, suffering a lot, and losing more than half of them on the way, if it weren't for the golden saintess who went to find the way, they would probably starve to death in the desert.

Tan Wuwu took another big sip of wine, and said with emotion: "Willy, alas, I can't imagine that when I Tan Wuwu also wants to do things, if I can do it all over again, I will never do such a stupid thing again." It's good now, the king of Jin has returned to the state, but I am in the middle of nowhere, and I can't see him. ”

Yin Fu glanced at Xu Ji and asked silently: Is this person really the general you recommended?

Xu Ji said with a smile: "The matter has come to this, it is useless to regret it, the second brother arrived just in time, we will face a battle immediately, please consult the second brother for a while......"

Tan Wuwu never refused this kind of thing, nodded and said, "I heard what the Golden Holy Maiden said, why didn't you attack Liangzhou earlier, you have to wait until now?" ”

Yin Fu said: "Earlier, I was preparing to attack the Saiwai Departments, and I didn't want to cause trouble, but later, because of the fierce generals, I didn't want to force Liangzhou too much, so as not to endanger the life of the old King Liang." ”

Tan shook his head senselessly, "Mistake, very mistaken, just defeated the Saiwai Tribes, and when Yang Mengjun was there, it was the best time to attack Liangzhou, and I was soft-hearted for a while, and I couldn't regret it." ”

Yin Fu smiled: "We also have times when we are 'willful'. ”

"Well, it's a matter of course."

Xu Ji said: "The past is over, the important thing is now, does the second brother think he can still fight?" ”

"How many troops do you have? The Golden Saintess never revealed the real number to me. ”

"Barely 30,000, only 20,000 can be used."

Yin Fu didn't expect Xu Ji to tell the truth, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Twenty thousand...... What about horses? ”

"About two thousand."

"Too little." Tan senselessly drank all the wine in the bowl, and suddenly smiled: "But it's better than nothing, you can fight, but you need to use a plan." ”

Xu Ji said: "Liangzhou Yang Mengzhi joined forces with the Qiang people, and his strength increased greatly......"

Tan shook his head senselessly, "The fourth brother has the same idea as the Golden Holy Maiden, is it to break through Liangzhou first?" ”

"Second brother thinks this plan is inappropriate?"

"Striking Liangzhou is nothing more than to find a way out, a foothold, and has no impact on the real strong enemy He Rongren, and this defeat has no way out, and the winner will benefit for a while, which is very unwise. Moreover, there are few people in Liangzhou, the Yang family has been in business for several generations, and it is difficult to win the hearts of the people. ”

Yin Fu glanced at Xu Ji again.

Xu Ji asked very seriously: "How does the second brother think this battle should be fought?" ”

"He Rongren was defeated in Jingzhou, and the troops outside the fortress were defeated by the army of the descending world, morale declined greatly, and plundered a lot in the Central Plains.

Xu Ji was silent, and Yin Fu asked in surprise: "Although He Rong's army is not as prosperous as it used to be, but with the support of the generals and soldiers of the Central Plains, there are more than 100,000 people, how to defeat it?" ”

Tan said meaninglessly: "Surround and annihilate." ”

Yin Fu was even more surprised, "Our army is at most 30,000 people, and the enemy army is more than 100,000, how can we surround it?" ”

"Prepare more flags, and the flags of the Descending Army, Liangzhou, and Kyushu must all be there."

Yin Fu was dumbfounded, "Bluff? ”

"Exactly."

"What if it is seen through by He Rongren?"

"It's just a fiasco, it's no different from sitting in the valley, and it's just an earlier defeat than attacking Liangzhou."

Yin Fu shook his head, "Our army and He Rongren have been facing each other for a long time, and they know each other well, and General Tan's move is absolutely impossible." It is still safer to attack the cold, and when the time comes, it will not be under the banner of the World Army and the Jizhou Army, and the generals of the fierce army will come forward, which should stabilize the people's hearts. ”

Xu Ji also felt that Tan's senseless strategy was too risky, "It is a clever plan to set up more flags in various states, and it can also be used to attack the cold." ”

"Liangzhou has not been defeated by the Central Plains states recently, what is the use of the tree flag?"

Xu Ji thought for a while and asked, "Second brother thinks that He Rongren will be chaotic, did he see it with his own eyes, or did he speculate selfishly?" ”

"Selfish speculation, but I will never be wrong, He Rongren's ambition is all in the strong arm alone in one person, once he dies, everyone just wants to return to the outside of the Saiwai with their belongings, and there is no longer the heart to fight to the death."

Seeing that Xu Ji seemed to be shaken, Yin Fu interjected: "The bluff flag can't deceive the people of He Rong, the mountains and valleys are deep here, and it is still difficult for Xu Gongzi to bring thousands of people, how can there be reinforcements from Kyushu?" He Rongren categorically didn't believe it, they might not want to fight to the death, but with more strikes and fewer blows, it was still no problem. ”

Tan smiled meaninglessly: "Fighter, extraordinary things, if you take the ordinary road, you will be less than many, weak and strong, you don't have to fight, compare your strength, surrender directly, and be killed." ”

Yin Fu was displeased, "Don't take the ordinary road, but you don't have to take the dangerous road of death, there is always a difference between the chance of winning one percent and the probability of winning fifty percent." ”

Tan sighed meaninglessly: "Fifty percent of the odds of winning only solve the near worries, and one of the odds of winning can get rid of the distant troubles, which is better?" ”

Yin Fu sneered, Xu Ji raised his glass to toast, played a round, and opened the topic.

The words are not speculative, Yin Fu said goodbye first, Xu Ji sent it to the gate of the camp, Yin Fu said: "Tan is meaningless, and he has no experience in leading troops, so it is not appropriate to reuse it, it is better to let him lead thousands of troops first, and then be promoted after it is effective." ”

Xu Ji arched his hand and said: "General Tan and I are both guests, so naturally we have to obey the master's arrangement." ”

Yin Fu got on the horse with the help of the guards, "It has to be Xu Gongzi himself, and when the golden saintess comes back, we will discuss it again." ”

Xu Ji returned to the tent, only to see that Tan Wuxuan had fallen asleep, smiled, turned around, hesitated in his heart, and suddenly saw Zhang Shiqing talking and laughing with a group of female soldiers in the distance, and his heart was hesitant again.

Tang Weitian held a long lance in his hand and stood opposite the female soldiers, his face was pale, as if he was going to compete.
