Chapter 254: Unbelief
"Why are you here?" Xu Ji behaved relatively coldly.
Galloping overnight, Xue Jinyan's face was slightly red, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, he hummed, turned to look at the winding army, and said, "I'll ask for clarification." ”
"General Cao, can't you say it clearly?" Xu Ji frowned slightly.
"He didn't say anything except to ask me to wait for your orders, where did it come from, clearly?" Xue Jinyan took the master out first, this was a matter between her and King Wu.
"You ask, and then go back as soon as possible, I don't want the Incarnation Army to be suspicious again."
"They won't." Xue Jin paused for a moment, "At least you won't be suspicious of me." ”
After meeting, a smile appeared on Xu Ji's face for the first time, "So you are the descending general." He took a handkerchief from his belt and handed it over, "Wipe your sweat." ”
"How many of these things do you have hidden on you?" Xue Jinyan took the silk handkerchief, and it was silky, she was a little reluctant to use it, wiped it lightly on her forehead, hesitated a little, and returned the silk handkerchief to her husband.
"You keep it, I do 'hide' a lot."
Xue Jinyan also showed a smile on his face, and carefully tucked the silk handkerchief into his belt, "I want to know two things, first, when will you attack?" ”
"The day after tomorrow, in the morning, you will lead the Jingzhou army out, and between half an hour and an hour, I will rush to join the battle."
"An hour at most?"
"Yes."
Xue Jin didn't squeak, and Xu Ji said, "What about one more?" ”
"One more thing...... How many people are you going to let the Incarnation die? ”
Xu Ji was stunned for a moment, "It is inevitable to die in a war, in order to lure the Jingzhou army out and firmly entangle, there will definitely be some casualties, but this is not my plan, if I have to make a plan, I hope the less the better." Since the army of the world recognizes me as the king of Wu, they are the most important soldiers under my command, and without them, I am nothing. ”
"You still have these people." Xue Jin shook his chin and pointed at the marching team.
Xu Ji said with a smile: "The Luozhou Army was originally a descended general and a descended army, but it has not yet been completely attached to me, how can it be compared with the descending army?" What's more, the number is not much, less than 30,000. ”
"But they know the art of war, they know how to fight, they know how to advance and retreat......"
"It's not them that you suspect, it's me." Xu Ji sighed lightly, "What should I do to convince you and the Descending Army that I have no selfish intentions?" ”
"I believe in you." Xue Jin shook her voice and looked away, and soon turned to her husband's face, and a large piece of tenderness suddenly welled up in her heart, which was something she used to laugh at others and had, thinking that she would never produce it, "I believe whatever you say." ”
"I just want to win this battle, repel the Jingzhou army, and immediately retreat to the eastern capital, I have no other thoughts, let alone the idea of deliberately framing some people, please believe me." Xu Ji couldn't feel his wife's tenderness, he only felt that those eyes were full of inquiry, which made him nervous, like a man's back.
"After this battle, I will take the Wu people and the Luozhou people to the east to pursue Ningbaoguan, and you will lead the army to the west to pacify Qinzhou, if you can capture Hanzhou by the way, it will be better. According to my plan, at least three months, at most half a year, our husband and wife will reunite in Xijing. At that time, half of the country has entered the hands of you and me, galloping vertically and horizontally, without any situation and no constraints, within two years, the world can be peaceful. ”
A smile appeared on Xue Jinyan's face again, and there was much less inquiry in his eyes, "Are you really going to do this?" ”
"Well, that's a plan I've been thinking about for a long time. King Liang must stay by my side, in the whole army, who can be alone except you? So you should understand that I don't want to see too many losses in the Descendants, and I still count on you to go west for me. ”
"Actually...... After this battle, I would like to hand over the title of Descended General. ”
"Why? Don't think it's majestic enough? ”
"Of course not, I just don't think I deserve to be a commander. Originally, I thought it was too simple, thinking that fighting a war was to be more brave than anyone, but after listening to General Cao's lecture on the art of war, I realized how stupid I was. I figured it out, I'd rather hand over the military power, be a female mage, and be a ...... Your wife. I may never be able to do what Niu Tiannu did, but I will try to imitate her, and it is at least easier to learn her than to learn the art of war. ”
Xu Ji didn't expect his wife to say such a thing, he was stunned for a long time, and a smile appeared on his face, "Losing a general like you, I don't know who to find to replace me, not to mention that the Descendant Army only recognizes you, and others ......."
"You can always find the right person, the more victories, the higher the prestige of King Wu, and the army will soon understand that following King Wu to win the world is the right way, as for who is the commander, it doesn't matter."
"You've made up your mind?"
"I've thought about it a long time ago."
"Well, whatever you want, you can be a female mage, be my wife, and stay with me forever. I will first find someone to lead the descending army, and when the young king grows up, I will return it to him. ”
"At that time, you have already done it, there is only the Wu army in the world, there is no descending army, what is there to pay back? Keep his title and let him live ...... That's enough for your old life. ”
In Xue Jin's eyes, the general's son must live a life of fine clothes and food, and he can take out a clean and soft silk handkerchief at any time.
"He's going to be better off than that. Will you trust me? ”
"I've always believed in you." Xue Jin shook a step forward, close to her husband, and there was a trace of strange greed in her eyes, "I have always believed in you, even your lies. ”
"Huh?"
"No, no, don't misunderstand, I will go back to urge the descending army, go out to battle with all my strength early the day after tomorrow, tightly entangle the Jingzhou army, and wait for you to lead the troops over to wipe them out. I just need you a word of promise. ”
"What guarantees?"
"Be kind to my brother."
"Of course, I've already said that, and you're ......"
"I want a word of assurance."
Xu Ji pondered for a while and said, "No matter what, I will treat the young king well." ”
There was neither an oath nor a specific content, but Xue Jinyan was very satisfied, "I'm leaving, early the day after tomorrow?" ”
"Early the day after tomorrow."
"In an hour?"
"Within."
Xue Jin strode away, and when he passed by the guards, he turned his head to Tang Weitian and said, "Tell me that your stick is a distant relative, it is not a family, and it will soon be broken for no reason." ”
Tang Weitian was taken aback, and clutched his stick tightly, "It's not far, it's not far at all, they are ......" Before he could figure out the relationship, Xue Jinyan had already walked away.
Xue Jin shook his horse, rode over, and asked loudly at the bottom of the slope: "I am your wife, everyone knows it?" ”
"The whole world knows it." Xu Ji replied.
Xue Jin shook his head and left, quickly disappearing into the marching procession.
Xu Ji stood on the top of the slope without moving and silent, Tang Weitian was just about to run over, but was pulled by Tan Wusense.
"If it's not appropriate for you to go, you must have said the wrong thing." Tan senselessly held his sword and walked towards King Wu.
"How could I be wrong? Wu Wang likes to chat with me the most. Tang Weitian was extremely unconvinced, but he didn't follow, untied the stick on his waist, and examined it carefully, afraid that it would suddenly break.
Tan Wuwu walked closer and arched his hand: "King Wu has persuaded the descended general?" ”
Xu Ji nodded.
"Then it's foolproof, and you can't let outsiders think that King Wu intends to delay, the day after tomorrow will send a thousand people to participate in the battle to boost the morale of the descending army, the longer they hold out, the easier it will be for King Wu to defeat the Jingzhou army."
"She ......" Xu Ji was a little strange, and looked at Tan Wusense, "Is General Tan giving me advice?" ”
"Sort of."
"This is really a rare thing, why did General Tan change his mind?" Xu Ji asked with a smile.
"The general trend is that King Wu defeated the Jingzhou army in this battle, which is the real relief of the siege, the Jin army and the Huai army will not dare to attack, and Yecheng will be lonely and difficult to speak, and he can only retreat and seek peace. From then on, the Wu army's westward march and southward advance were all like bamboos, and no matter how many magical powers Yecheng had, there would be nothing to be done. I can't say that King Wu has had smooth sailing since then, at least he has the resources to compete for the crown. ”
"What about King Jin?"
"I will persuade the King of Jin to submit to the King of Wu, but if the three persuasions fail, I can only give up. But there is only one thing, no matter what, I will not fight with the Jin army. ”
"The world is vast, and there is a place for General Tan to gallop."
Tan sighed meaninglessly, "Fortunately, the general is a woman." King Wu really had the foresight to make her a general and change someone...... Hehe, King Wu is afraid that it is not so easy to gain trust. ”
"She doesn't believe me." Xu Ji muttered.
Tan was stunned for a moment, "How is that possible?" Look at the appearance of the incarnated general......"
"She doesn't believe me, but she will still bring the descending army to battle and entangle the Jingzhou army for me."
Tan Wuwu was stunned again, and then smiled: "It turns out that the incarnated general is still an infatuated woman, and King Wu is really lucky." ”
"She made me feel guilty."
"Well, so what?"
"Let so many people die, General Tan...... Isn't it going to be serious? ”
"Death without benefit is called death, death and victory, this is called the art of war. Why did King Wu suddenly become sentimental? Do you want a general who cares about the lives and deaths of his soldiers? Then don't use me. The world is a chessboard, the general takes the soldiers as the chess pieces, and the emperor takes the common people as the chess pieces. ”
Tan shook his head meaninglessly and whispered, "Did I change my mind too early?" ”
Xu Ji said loudly to a little farther away: "Tang Weitian, come here!" ”
Tang Weitian ran happily, "What's the matter, the Grand Duke." ”
"Ride a horse to chase down the general."
"Yes, call her back?"
"No, tell her that the plan has not changed, but be sure to wait for my order, and don't lead the troops out of the camp without authorization."
"The Descendant General is not so obedient, is he?"
"Tell me what I say, and don't worry about anything else."
"Okay." Tang ran for the sky, turned over on his horse downhill, and went to chase the general.
Tan Wuxuan's face was full of joy, "King Wu is making a big mistake, you are not worthy of my follow, and you will kill more soldiers." ”
"I haven't changed my mind, I'm just ...... The incarnated general said she was willing, but who knows what she thinks in her heart? I had to reassure her so she wouldn't change her mind. ”
"I see." Tan smiled meaninglessly and arched his hand, "Please forgive King Wu for my rudeness just now, to appease people's hearts, especially women's hearts, I am indeed inferior to King Wu." Fortunately, there will be results the day after tomorrow, and the incarnated general should not have time to think about it. The emperor is ruthless, and King Wu has done it. ”
"The emperor is ruthless." Xu Ji didn't feel relaxed in his heart, but the burden was heavier.
If you can't pass this hurdle, why should you compete for the world? Xu Ji secretly reprimanded the weakness in his heart, looked at the direction where Xue Jinyan disappeared, and comforted himself that his wife would not be so stupid as to be willing to die.
Not......
