Chapter 505: Borrowing a Boat

Song Zhuzhu did not send anyone to see the king of Shu, he went on a trip in person.

There was a boat waiting by the river, and the Shu soldiers on the boat were taken aback when they heard that Song Zhuzhu was the envoy of King Ning, "So fast?" ”

"It's not far away, and King Ning is very anxious."

Jiangbei is now the territory of King Ning, and the Shu soldiers have no doubts, so they took Song Zhuzhu and dozens of entourages on the ship, and immediately set off and rushed back to the Shu camp.

Gan Zhao was also surprised, he had heard of Song Zhuzhu's name, and knew that this person was a Jingzhou hero, and he was not killed by King Ning, which surprised him.

Mr. Guo ...... Why didn't you come back together? Gan Zhao was particularly surprised by this.

Song Zhuzhu arched his hand and smiled: "King Ning has not seen Mr. Guo for a long time, and he stayed all night to talk, but he can't let King Shu wait for a long time, so he sent me to be the guide, and Mr. Guo will arrive later, that is, a matter of a day or two." ”

After all, Song Zhuzhu is a famous person, and most of Gan Zhao's suspicions quickly subsided, and he set up a banquet to entertain him, and asked at the banquet: "Mr. Guo has passed on all my words?" ”

"Of course, word for word." Song Zhuzhu asked about it from Guo Shifeng, and he knew it in his heart.

"King Ning...... Agreed? ”

Song Zhuzhu put down his wine glass, glanced at the other generals, and replied: "Except for Xiangyang, everything else is easy to say." ”

Gan Zhao had already prepared for this, nodded and said: "King Ning's achievements are high, and it is indeed a bit too much to ask him to give up Xiangyang. As long as King Ning is willing to give up Yiling City and Hanzhou, Xiangyang can talk again. ”

Song Zhuzhu said with a smile: "If King Ning is not very sincere, he will not send me over." To be honest, after Mr. Guo's persuasion, King Ning was a little moved, but he still had doubts. ”

Gan Zhao was overjoyed, "I have met King Ning and entered the world, and I have come out of the World Army together, what doubts does he have?" ”

"The king of Shu sits in the land of abundance, with many soldiers and generals, full of grain and grass, and ships covering the river for hundreds of miles. Although King Ning was newly victorious, there were many casualties, and Wu and Jing were not stable, so ......" Song Zhuzhu smiled.

Gan Zhao understood what he meant, "Didn't Mr. Guo explain it?" I just want to live in Yizhou in peace, I have no intention of fighting for the world, and those who ask for Yiling, Xiangyang, and Hanzhou are just using them as a gateway, and they have no greater ambitions, and - the Ning army is in urgent need of food and grass now, right? ”

"Burning eyebrows."

"Yizhou doesn't dare to say that it is rich, but it still has some surplus funds, and in order to show sincerity, I am willing to provide food for the Ning army."

Song Zhuzhu smiled and nodded, and Gan Zhao asked: "What else does King Ning want, General Song doesn't have to hide it, just say it all." ”

"Why does the King of Shu think King Ning sent me to Yizhou?"

"General Song has made many great contributions, and he is a confidant of King Ning, so it is natural to send you as an envoy." Gan Zhao actually still had some doubts in his heart, but he didn't say it.

"I have indeed made a few small achievements, and I have indeed won the trust of King Ning, but there are many generals under King Ning, and several of them, such as General Luohan Qiluo, are old acquaintances with King Shu, and King Ning does not use him but uses me, in fact, there is another reason."

"I want to hear about it." Gan Zhao was the most puzzled by this matter in his heart.

"That's the case, King Ning will lead his troops to attack Jiangling City, and then return to Wuzhou to quell the rebellion, but he is worried about the instability of the rear, so he allocated a group of soldiers of the Southern Army to me, there are 100,000 people, and ordered me to take them back to Hunan and Guangzhou, one is to stabilize the morale of the army, and the other is to explain the death of Chen Yicai to the old man."

Gan Zhao nodded again and again, not taking the number of "100,000" seriously, "When King Ning is employing people, he can return the soldiers of the Southern Army, which shows the righteousness." ”

"This move is also a last resort, one was originally agreed, King Ning could not break the contract, and the other was that the south was uncertain, and it would eventually be a legacy, rather than sending another army south in the future, it was better to let the soldiers of the southern army go back now and pacify the two states by themselves."

"It makes sense, General Song will definitely succeed immediately if he receives this great responsibility."

Song Zhuzhu smiled bitterly: "'Success' is no problem, the problem is that it is difficult to 'get there'." ”

Gan Zhao was stunned for a moment, then woke up and said with a smile: "There is a lack of boats." ”

"King Ning's fire is really burning clean."

"If you fight against the water, you should burn it clean. I see, General Ning came to me to borrow a boat? ”

"Before the two sides formally negotiated peace, I came over and asked for a boat......

Gan Zhao laughed, and the last doubt in his heart had disappeared, "I am friends with King Ning, even if there is no peace, why is it difficult to borrow a few ships?" How many ships did General Song need? ”

"The more the merrier, and the sooner the better. Don't hide it from the King of Shu, I am from Xiangyang, but I don't have many soldiers, and the southern army under my command is all left by Chen Yao, and the longer I stay in Jiangbei, the easier it is to change in the army. ”

"Understood." Gan Zhao thought for a while, and felt that there was no loophole in Song Zhuzhu's words, "Is it okay tomorrow?" ”

Song Zhuzhu immediately arched his hand and said: "The King of Shu is very kind, Song is unforgettable." ”

The king of Shu immediately ordered the iron eagle who was drinking with him to prepare to transport the soldiers of the southern army tomorrow.

"What about our people?" Iron Eagle asked.

"Shore first."

"South Shore or North Shore?"

Gan Zhao hesitated for a moment and asked rhetorically, "Which side is convenient?" ”

"The north bank is convenient, and if you want to go on the south bank, you have to go more than ten miles, which is relatively close to Yiling City."

"Then the North Shore."

The iron eagle took the order and left, and Gan Zhao said to Song Zhu: "Is Yiling City still unwilling to surrender to King Ning?" ”

"How dare you not descend? Everything has been negotiated, but after King Ning saw Mr. Guo, he said that it would be better to ask the King of Shu to take Yiling City by himself and avoid the name of 'concession', which would be beneficial to both kings. ”

"It's still King Ning who thinks about it." Gan Zhao was also more willing to capture Yiling City by himself, so he was very happy.

"But this is just what King Ning said, everything has to wait for Mr. Guo to come back, and then talk to King Shu in detail, my words are not accurate." Song Zhuzhu showed a trace of remorse on his face.

Gan Zhao toasted again and again, and the generals also took turns to come, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

While the wine was hot, Gan Zhao whispered: "How does King Ning plan to explain Chen Aicai's death to Hunan and Guangzhou?" ”

Song Zhuzhu was already obviously drunk, and said loudly: "Simple, Chen Yicai wants to cross the river alone, abandon 100,000 southern soldiers, and the whole army knows everything, with this, can the elders of Hunan and Guang forgive him?" ”

"Well, that's right. I heard that King Ning was doing his best by the river......" Gan Zhao smiled, "General Song must be deeply favored by King Ning, so there is nothing to do." ”

Song Zhuzhu sighed, he only told Xu Ji the truth, and he had another set of rhetoric in the face of outsiders: "Who made me a native of Xiangyang?" I can't go when others go, I just wanted to fight to the death, worthy of my hometown, who would have thought that I would escape because of this. But I learned a lesson: you must never betray King Ning. ”

"I've learned the same lesson." Gan Zhaodao, continued to toast, and said words from Song Zhuzhu's mouth, trying to find out whether Ning Baoguan coveted Yizhou.

Song Zhuzhu said some things, some didn't say it, and in the end, he said it all, and Gan Zhao became more and more aware of it, and he became more and more enthusiastic about Song Zhuzhu.

"No, no, I really can't drink it...... The king of Shu prepares the ship, and I have to ...... Go back and send soldiers ......"

"General Song doesn't have to worry, I will see him off personally, and General Song will sit here and drink with peace of mind." Gan Zhao ordered the boat to sail, and the others were still drinking in the cabin.

When Song Zhuzhu finally landed on the shore, his steps staggered, his speech was slurred, he was picked up on horseback by his entourage, and he rode reluctantly, he left a few people to hand over to the king of Shu, and the rest were all taken away.

Gan Zhao stood on the boat and watched the guests go away.

The iron eagle has already arranged the boat, and the Shu soldiers will be able to land tonight, transport the Song army tomorrow, and come to the king of Shu and say: "The king of Shu is careful to be fooled." ”

"If it's Guo Shifeng, I'll be extra careful, it's okay for Song to take the bamboo, he is in a hurry to cross the river to ask King Ning for credit, there is no problem."

"Song takes bamboo to cross the river, echoing with King Ning, and will become a pincer attack."

"As long as the ship is in our hands, what are you afraid of him doing? In short, King Ning did not let Yiling and Hanzhou, and I did not agree to negotiate peace. Gan Zhao's face suddenly became stern, "The iron kite has returned to Yizhou and is rushing to see me." The sins he committed were too great to be forgiven. ”

Tie Yuan's face was red, "Our Tie family does not ask for forgiveness, but only asks the King of Shu to spare my brother's life." ”

"The iron kite was reduced to a commoner and thrown into prison. If you can capture Hanzhou, you can release your brother from prison and allow him to make meritorious service for himself. ”

Tie Eagle's face turned even redder, and he said angrily: "I guarantee the life of the whole family and swear to seize Hanzhou for the King of Shu, and I will never be deceived by traitors." ”

"It is said that Xu Ji has been killed, you should be careful to beware of all strategists and scholars in the future, it's not that they are useless, but that you won't use them, but you will suffer from them."

"If I meet this kind of person again, I won't listen to a word, and I'll send them all to the King of Shu."

Gan Zhao smiled and nodded, and sighed casually, "Xu Ji is too proud to be used, but unfortunately when he meets King Ning, he doesn't have that mouth after all." ”

When Ning Zhuzhu returned to the barracks, it was already dark, and he immediately ordered the whole army to pull out the camp and march towards the river.

He didn't lie to the King of Shu, and now most of the soldiers under his command are indeed southerners, not as many as 100,000, but there are quite a few.

After the first group of people set off, Song Zhuzhu found a place to vomit, and after sobering up for a few minutes, he went to see Xu Ji.

Xu Ji's name is now "Yu Zhan", except for a very few people such as Song Zhuzhu and Dai Pohu, no one knows the truth.

Song Zhuzhu briefly explained the situation, "The king of Shu led the army to land, and I will lead the troops to kill people and seize the ship early tomorrow morning." ”

"The king of Shu can be killed, and others can not be killed as much as possible." Xu Jidao.

"What's the matter, Mr. Xu misses the old feelings and can't bear it?" Song Zhuzhu said with a smile.

"General Song's command is mostly southern soldiers, and they have not yet crossed the river to kill people and seize ships, which is no different from King Ning, and the southern soldiers are happy when they get the boat, and when they return to Hunan and Guangzhou, they will have doubts."

"Okay, but it's going to be a problem. In today's world, if you want to compete with King Ning, you must be a person like King Ning. ”

"General Song is not King Ning."

Song Zhuzhu was a little stunned, and then smiled: "Since it is Mr. Xu's plan, Mr. Xu said that if he doesn't kill, he won't kill." And then what to do? Those southern soldiers may not be willing to follow me into Yizhou. ”

"Can't go to Yizhou?"

"Huh?"

"Yizhou is rich and stuffed, and it is difficult for General Song to come out after he enters."

"But ......," Song Zhuzhu was surprised, "then why should I fall out with the King of Shu?" ”

"Willing to seek stability, after taking refuge in King Ning, he will not dare to make a difference, but after his death, there is a chance that the Tie family will be in power, and in order to avenge this, he will be entangled with King Ning."

"The Iron Family's revenge is also coming at me, right?"

So after General Song killed the king of Shu, he immediately sent someone to send the body to King Ning, and after crossing the river, the boats were also left to King Ning. King Ning had no intention of cutting off the city to negotiate peace, and he was already dissatisfied with Guo Shifeng, and when he got the news of General Song, he would definitely be overjoyed, and he would take credit for himself, and he would also take the hatred on himself. ”

Song Zhuzhu laughed twice, "This plan is very good, I still have to make some preparations, the King of Shu wants to die, but he can't die in my hands." ”
