Ever since he saw the living Xu Ji, Guo Shifeng began to be restless, pondering repeatedly along the way, so he couldn't help but be shocked when he saw that the riverside was full of Song Army flags from a distance.

"Impossible, impossible." Guo Shifeng muttered, "Song Zhuzhu doesn't have the guts, Xu Ji is not so stupid, this is looking for death"

A team of knights rushed towards him, and Guo Shifeng and the guards stopped.

"Who's coming?" shouted from the other side.

"Guo Shifeng, a staff member of the King of Xianning, has come to ask to see the King of Shu, which general is your Excellency under the account of the King of Shu?" Guo Shifeng asked knowingly, he saw very clearly, the person opposite was a soldier of the Southern Army.

The number of soldiers in the southern army was larger, and Guo Shifeng and others were surrounded, and even the guards began to be nervous this time, but with their backs to King Ning, they were not too afraid.

Guo Shifeng stubbornly drove the horse forward, and said with a smile: "What does this mean, don't you believe in our identity?" ”

A young general stepped out of the crowd and bowed his hand to Guo Shifeng: "In Xiaxiangzhou Deputy General Mao Yuanti, Mr. Guo came just in time to give us a review." ”

"Huh? I'm just a staff member."

"Mr. Guo is a confidant of King Ning, and everyone knows his name, so why be humble? We were about to go to see King Ning, and since Guo Shifeng was here, he saved us a trip. ”

"General Mao, please speak." Guo Shifeng had no choice.

"The king of Shu said that he would borrow a boat to send us across the river, but as soon as the ship left the shore, he made all kinds of unreasonable demands, forced us to surrender, and returned to Yizhou with him, Mr. Guo said that this kind of thing can be endured?"

"I think I can't bear it, but I don't know what the purpose of King Shu's move is?"

"What's the point? Coerce us into surrendering. The southern army was unfavorable, and they were defeated in successive battles, and finally came under the command of King Ning, and fought a hearty victory, everyone admired and was loyal to King Ning, and there was no second heart, and the same was true for Mr. Guo, right? ”

"Of course, there are no two minds."

"So we will kill the King of Shu, imprison the Yizhou generals, and wait for the King of Ning to fall, no problem, right?"

Although Guo Shifeng had expected it, he was still taken aback when he heard that the King of Shu was killed, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, and nodded and said: "No problem, you have merit, after King Ning knows about it, he will definitely reward him." ”

"Forget about the heavy reward or something, I was ordered to pacify the township, more than half of the people have crossed the river, and they dare not return for no reason, so I asked Mr. Guo to report to King Ning on our behalf, and said that the King of Shu is dead, and the ships and Yizhou soldiers will stay on the shore, please King Ning take it by himself and decide by himself."

"Okay." Guo Shifeng blindly agreed, and he didn't dare to ask any more questions.

Mao Yuanti stepped forward on his horse, staggered with Guo Shifeng's horse's head, and threw over a burden hanging on the saddle, "Please Mr. Guo bring this to King Ning." ”

Guo Shifeng took it in his hand, his heart trembled, and he asked casually, "What is this?" ”

"The head of the King of Shu." Mao Yuanti turned his horse's head and returned to the river with his soldiers.

Guo Shifeng was stunned with the burden in his hand, and the soldiers of the Southern Army had already walked away, so he came back to his senses and handed the burden to a guard leader, "You take it." ”

The leader took the burden, his face was shocked, he was not afraid of the head, but was surprised by the audacity of the Southern Army, "They don't want to live anymore?" When King Ning heard this letter, he must have been furious and waved his troops to chase after him, and none of these people would survive. Can't Song Zhuzhu control the southern soldiers? Or is he also involved? ”

"King Ning has his own decision, let's go back to see King Ning as soon as possible."

"On the way back, I will pass by Song Zhuzhu's camp again."

"Let's take a detour."

Guo Shifeng was a little panicked, and the leader saw it in his eyes, and decided not to solicit opinions anymore, asked several Jingzhou soldiers for the path, and directly led everyone to detour.

After walking for several miles, Guo Shifeng suddenly shouted, all the guards were taken aback, and they all stopped their horses, and the leader looked around, but did not see the ambush, and asked, "What did Mr. Guo find?" ”

"No, I suddenly remembered something, I have to go back and ask that Mao Yuanti for an explanation, otherwise King Ning will ask, and if I can't answer, I will cause trouble."

"What then? Go back again? Fortunately, it is not far away. ”

"The incident happened suddenly, let King Ning know as soon as possible, you go to see King Ning, and I will go to find Mao Yuanti."

"I'll leave a few people for Mr. Guo"

"Not necessarily." Guo Shifeng shook his head again and again, "Looking at the situation, neither the Southern Army nor Song Zhuzhu have openly rebelled against King Ning, and it is easy for me to get out of trouble if I am alone." ”

Guo Shifeng was a well-known strategist in the army, and the leader believed him, "Okay, Mr. Guo, take care, let's hurry to return to King Ning." ”

"I'll be there later."

When the guards left, Guo Shifeng looked at their backs, saw that no one looked back, and left, not to the southern army, but galloped in the opposite direction, hoping to find a small boat from the river and send him across the river.

The river is vast, there is no shadow of a boat, but there is green smoke rising on the side of the road, Guo Shifeng galloped closer, and found that it was seven or eight soldiers roasting fire in the circle, the secret road was not good, turn around and want to run, but those people had already seen him, and said loudly: "Is it Guo Shifeng?" ”

"No, a passing caravan."

"There is chaos here, and there are even business travelers?" "And you can ride a horse?" The soldiers laughed and got on their horses unhurriedly.

Guo Shifeng hesitated for a moment, stopped in place and did not move.

The soldiers rode to the front, and one of them leaned forward to look at it for a while, and said with a smile: "Isn't this Mr. Guo?" Why don't you admit it? ”

"Do you recognize me?"

"Mr. Guo is a noble person, I am General Song's guard, and I just met Mr. Guo not long ago."

"Oh."

The soldier turned his head to his companions and said, "We are lucky, we just started a fire and received Mr. Guo." ”

"You're waiting for me here?"

"General Song said that he hadn't talked enough with Mr. Guo, so he sent a few people to wait around, just to ask Mr. Guo to go back again anyway."

Guo Shifeng smiled awkwardly, "General Song's kindness is difficult"

Everyone went on the road, and after walking not far, Guo Shifeng said: "General Song's camp doesn't seem to be here. ”

"General Song is estimated to have crossed the river at this time, let's go to the south bank to meet him."

Guo Shifeng didn't squeak anymore.

The group just in time for the last group of soldiers to cross the river, a total of thousands of people, Mao Yuanti sat on guard, waited on the boat for a while, summoned all the scattered Song soldiers, and gave the order to set off.

The person who supported the boat and rocked the oars was still a soldier of Yizhou, and when he landed on the south bank, Mao Yuanti arched his hand to the boat and said: "Thank you for your send-off, we are King Ning's subordinates, you will go to King Ning for a reward later." ”

The Yizhou soldiers had been terrified, and as soon as they were freed, they immediately went ashore, and a small number of ships sailed upstream, eager to return to Yizhou, and most of the ships still headed north to join their imprisoned companions on the shore.

There are few horses in the southern army, and Guo Shifeng can only walk with the reins, and he only arrives at the camp after nightfall.

Guo Shifeng was sent to a tent, and the food prepared was no different from that of ordinary soldiers, Guo Shifeng had no appetite at all, and kept pacing back and forth in the tent, and he did not feel sleepy for nearly midnight.

Song Zhuzhu finally came, full of alcohol, holding half a candle, and said with a smile: "I guess Mr. Guo didn't sleep." ”

"At the invitation of General Song, I don't dare to sleep." Guo Shifeng arched his hand.

Song Zhuzhu placed the candle on the stool on the side, looked at Guo Shifeng, and was silent for a while.

Guo Shifeng squeezed out a smile on his face, "General Song invited me, what's the matter?" ”

"It's not an important matter, Mr. Guo promised to have a long talk with me before, remember?"

"Huh? It seems that there were. ”

Song Zhuzhu sat on the bunk and smiled at Guo Shifeng: "Mr. Guo, please take a seat." ”

There was a candle on the only stool, Guo Shifeng thought for a while, picked up the candle and held it in his hand, and then sat down.

"Let's talk at night, right?" Song Zhuzhu said with a smile.

"Hmm." Guo Shifeng tried to speak as little as possible.

"Actually, I don't have anything to talk about, let's talk about it casually, Mr. Guo thinks I will go to Hunan and Guangzhou, can everything go well?"

"It's a bit difficult and unpredictable to estimate that everything will go well, but I speculate that General Song will definitely be able to pacify the two states in the end."

"Mr. Tuo Guo Jiyan, what is the key?"

"Just these soldiers of the Southern Army under General Song, I think they are more loyal to General Song, which is a good sign."

"Just a 'sign'?"

"The officers and men of the Southern Army are anxious to return to their hometowns, and they are all about General Song, once they return to Hunan and Guangzhou, they will return to their hometowns more acutely, and there will be local officials, heroes, and elders recruiting each other, and they may have different aspirations."

"I also thought of it, so I did my best to meet the requirements of the soldiers of the Southern Army, hoping to keep their hearts."

Guo Shifeng said with a smile: "I'm afraid General Song's move is counterproductive. ”

"Please advise Mr. Guo."

"The southern army is easy to be distracted, and General Song is lenient at this time, and his heart is even more scattered."

"If they are brought to justice, I fear they will turn against it now."

"Why didn't General Song rebel when he thought the soldiers of the Southern Army were in Jiangbei?"

"Chen is dead from illness, and the Southern Army has no generals to command."

"That's all?"

"They are afraid of King Ning."

"Exactly, the farther south you go, the farther away from King Ning, the less afraid the southern army is, and incidents occur frequently, whether General Song is lenient or strict, I'm afraid that it will be useless."

"What should I do in Mr. Guo's opinion?"

"Find a strong enemy for the officers and soldiers of the Southern Army as soon as possible, so that they will be afraid again, and naturally they will not dare to leave General Song easily."

"King Ning? I don't dare to openly resist King Ning, I think it is beneficial to King Ning to kill King Shu this time. ”

"Well, King Ning will be angry, but he won't chase after him, and he can't become the enemy of the soldiers of the Southern Army, he has to be the local heroes of Hunan and Guangzhou."

"This is difficult, since it is a local hero, why is it not good for the local soldiers?"

Guo Shifeng said with a smile: "General Song is a heroic man of Xiangyang, who often walks in Kyushu, and he doesn't seem to be very familiar with the southern land. ”

"It's really unfamiliar, please give Mr. Guo more advice."

"There is a Mr. Yuliu under Chen Aicai's account who is most familiar with Hunan and Guangzhou, but unfortunately he died with the master, but I have a lot of correspondence with him and know his local customs" Guo Shifeng suddenly stopped talking.

Song Zhuzhu arched his hand and said, "Why does Mr. Guo know but not say anything? Is it my fault that I forced Mr. Guo to come here and did not set up a banquet to entertain him? ”

"I want to see Xu Ji, and after talking to him, I can decide what and how much to say to General Song."

"Haha, this matter is easy, I'll go and ask Mr. Xu to come over and meet." Song Zhuzhu got up, "I have benefited a lot from a long talk with Mr. Guo, early tomorrow morning, Mr. Guo will go if he wants to go, stay if he wants to stay, and I will not be reluctant." ”

"I, alas, I fell into the hands of Xu Ji, and I went to stay all in his words."
