(Ask for collection and recommendation)

Tan was needless to be eye-catching, especially the sword at his waist, which was long enough to be used as a crutch, and he had to hold on to the hilt of the sword at all times, otherwise the end might be mopping the floor—something that would happen when he occasionally gave it up.

The two Zhuang Ding came over to feed the horses, and said with a smile from afar: "Mr. Mop got up early today." ”

Tan Wuxian was polite to Xu Ji, and he held his head up to Zhuang Ding, so Zhuang Ding liked to make fun of him even more, "Mr. Mop didn't catch up with breakfast, as the saying goes, horses have no night grass and no fat, I have some night grass here, do you want to have some?" "I still have beans here, so it's the best way to get fat."

The two Zhuang Ding couldn't stop laughing, they didn't take Tan Wusensei seriously, and they didn't care about the new guests on the side.

Tan's senseless response technique was to ignore it and say to Xu Ji: "It's noisy here, let's go talk elsewhere." ”

"Please."

The two walked away, and Zhuang Ding's laughter could be heard in the distance.

"The lamentable thing in the world is not that the horses are good, but that no one knows the horses, so that the good horses are trapped in the mud." Tan sighed meaninglessly.

The two had reached the edge of the manor, and their eyes looked over the low wall, and they could see the trees outside and the wasteland after harvesting.

Xu Ji couldn't tell for a moment whether this person was a talented person, or if he was pretending to be mysterious, and arched his hand: "How can Your Excellency recognize me?" ”

"I've seen wanted notices, and although Childe's face is not exactly the same as described above, it is roughly the same. Most of the people who come to this village are seeking wealth and nobility, so they often show off their talents, but the son is unhappy and seems to have something on his mind. Therefore, I guess it must be the seventeenth prince of the Eastern Capital. ”

"You see I'm a fugitive?" Xu Ji concluded.

Xu laughed senselessly, "That's exactly what it means." But I don't know anything. ”

"What?"

"With the ambition of the seventeenth prince and the feat of assassinating the tyrant, he should be admired by the heroes of the world, and he can dominate one side, why did he fall to this place alone?"

Along the way, Xu Ji didn't enjoy the slightest benefit of the assassin, shook his head and smiled: "Your Excellency, I am no different from a lost dog, how can I respond to every call?" ”

"Has the seventeenth prince ever 'shouted'?"

The first time the two met, Tan Wuxian asked very bluntly, as if they were familiar enough to say nothing, Xu Ji felt a little embarrassed, thought for a while, and said: "At least I know that the people who rebelled in Qinzhou and the river don't think that the assassin is so great." ”

Tan smiled meaninglessly: "I understand, the seventeenth prince has found the wrong person." ”

"Oh?"

"The people's livelihood is difficult, and what the people hate is not the emperor, but corrupt officials and corrupt officials.

"Then I don't have to bother shouting." Xu Ji said with a smile.

"Otherwise, there are people in the world who hate the emperor, not ordinary people, but heroes of the five countries, these people all have their fathers and brothers who died in a national disaster, and they are imprisoned.

"Really?"

"For example, my father and ancestors were all officials in the Liang Dynasty, and before my father died, I never forgot the great cause of restoring the country.

Tan Wuxian was much older than Xu Ji, but at this time, he bowed down and threw his hand, and the long sword dragged to the ground again.

Xu Ji hurriedly helped him up, "The assassination is a moment of righteous indignation, and I don't dare to give this big gift." ”

Tan stood up and said: "The seventeenth prince changed his mother's surname, is Ling Tang originally from Wu Guo?" ”

"Yes." The identity of Princess Wu is not known to everyone, and Xu Ji is reluctant to mention it.

"I guess it's the same, Wu Shi is sharp, and if there is revenge, he will take revenge. The seventeenth prince avenged this great revenge for the Wu State, why didn't he go to Jiangdong, but went north to merge with the state? ”

Xu Ji also asked himself about this, and the answer was very simple, and he smiled: "I don't recognize Wu Guoren, I don't recognize any of them." ”

Tan Wuxian was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "I see. In fact, it is indeed better to merge the state, it is the land of the two dynasties of Liang and Cheng, the chaotic Qinzhou in the west, the leaderless Jizhou in the east, and the Luozhou in the south, which swept down the eastern capital, and maybe there will be another rise. ”

"How long have you been here?"

"It's been more than a year."

"Staying here all the time?"

"Shen Bingzhou probably thinks it's not time for me to gallop yet."

This person is really proud, Xu Ji said: "Forgive me for talking too much, what skills does Your Excellency have?" ”

"I have a million soldiers in my breast."

"Oh." Xu Ji didn't know what to say, it turned out that this person's pride had not been fully revealed.

Tan Wuwu didn't care about the coldness of others, but was full of interest, and leaned over and said: "I have learned the art of war since I was a child, and I have learned a lot, but unfortunately I am imprisoned and useless. ”

"For example, if this manor is attacked, do you have defensive skills?"

Tan said meaninglessly: "Kill chickens with a cattle slaughtering knife? A small manor, not worth my keeping. ”

"What about Jinyang?"

"The land of Jinyang Longxing, not a defensible city, should be all out of the crowd to expand the territory."

"Take Qinzhou in the west, attack Jidi in the east, and roll Luoyang in the south?" Xu Ji guessed.

"That's roughly what it means, but don't stick to this, soldiers, tricks, the enemy changes, I change, the enemy does not change, I also change, when to attack, where to attack first, are inconclusive, all must be improvised."

"And how many soldiers are needed?"

"Three hundred thousand."

Xu Ji was dumbfounded, if there were 300,000 troops, he felt that he could also calm the world, so he smiled and said: "Your Excellency has a lot of ambitions. Well, I still have something to do, I need to go back to my accommodation......"

Xu Ji bowed his hand and said goodbye, but Tan was useless but refused to end there, so he actually followed, and continued: "I have been in Bingzhou for more than a year, and I think that this is the best opportunity, but I don't know what Shen Jizhou is thinking, so I am reluctant to act, and when Qinzhou is pacified and Jizhou is in charge, the general trend will go." In fact, Yizhou in the southwest also has the capital to dominate, and it needs to go north to Hanzhong and Guanzhong, but it is not as convenient as the terrain of the state. There is also a chance in Wuzhou in the southeast, if the seventeenth prince goes to Wuzhou, he must remember one thing, he must first take Huaizhou, and set Jizhou in the north, and then he can map the world......"

Until the door of the grass house, Tan Wuwu was talking about the plan to annex the world, Xu Ji was listening at the beginning, but he slowly lost patience, and guarded the door: "The house is simple, I won't invite Your Excellency in." ”

Xu Ji closed the door, and Tan Wuwu stood outside the door and said: "In terms of the general trend, Wuzhou is not the first choice, but if you have the skill to plan and catch up with a little time, there is also the possibility of chasing the deer, but you must be bolder, and you can't keep the heart." There are few horses in Jiangdong, so you must go north first, if you have to ride Jizhou, the big thing can be half done......"

Xu Ji finally understood the general's feelings, at that time he frequently persuaded his father to rebel, and the general must have been tired of listening to it.

Tan said for a while, and finally said, "If the seventeenth prince goes to Jiangdong, you can take me with you." You rest first, and we'll talk tomorrow. ”

Ma Wei's life hung in the hands of Ning Bao'er, Xu Ji didn't want to waste it like this today, so he broke the remaining jewelry into a small package, and prepared to use it to bribe the steward of Zhuangzhong, no matter what, he had to send a letter to Shen Wugongzi in the city.

When he opened the door, Tan Wuwu was still there, turning his back to him, arguing with several scholars in the grass hall, although he was boastful, he had a benefit, he never got angry, even if the other party's spit was sprayed on his face, he was not annoyed, at most he took a step back and continued to tell his plans for the world.

Xu Ji walked away quickly, for fear of being entangled again.

The manor is very large, Xu Ji looked for a while before coming to the front yard, the houses here are much better, and there are more guests, and before the meal arrives, they all gather in the courtyard to argue with each other, which is more intense than the thatched house.

An old man in his forties and fifties held a tail as the host, and the scene did not get out of control further.

Xu Ji walked around, and suddenly someone grabbed his arm and dragged him to an empty room next to him.

"Seventeen sons are so bold."

"Mr. Liu, long time no see." Xu Ji was overjoyed, this person he knew, it was Liu Youzhong, a Xiangshi, who suddenly fled the Eastern Capital and came to Jinyang for a while.

"I heard that you arrived, I went out of the city early in the morning to greet you, why did the seventeenth prince come out with a swagger?"

"You know I'm coming?"

"Hehe, when Zhuangzhong receives guests, it is necessary to report to the city in time, as soon as I hear the word 'Xu Ji', I will know who it is."

"Shen Wugongzi ......"

"The seventeenth prince will go back to his residence first, and I will visit later."

The manor obviously belonged to the son-in-law of the Shen family, but he acted so sneakily, Xu Ji was quite surprised, nodded his head, and was just about to leave, when he remembered one thing, "What is the matter with that person named Tan Wusense?" ”

"Has the seventeenth prince seen him? A madman, Shen Wugongzi occasionally invited him to go over to relieve his boredom, so he stayed in the village. The seventeenth prince didn't have to pay attention to him. ”

Xu Ji smiled, pushed the door and went out of the house, still avoiding the crowd, and went back to the grass house, glad that he had saved a bag of jewelry.

Tan Wuwu was still standing outside the grass hall, but there was a change of people inside, the leader was the big man who complained about the bad food, he didn't attack with spittle, but raised his fist, waved around, and approached Tan Wuwu's door several times.

It didn't take long for Liu Youzhong to come, and he didn't knock on the door, pushed the door straight in, and said with a smile: "Let the seventeenth prince live in this kind of place, how offended, Wanwang Haihan." ”

"Tell me, what are the Shen family planning?" Xu Ji doesn't care about the quality of the room.

The room was dark, Liu You finally got used to it for a while, found a stool and sat down, "Seventeen sons first tell me how they came, we thought that the seventeen sons would not be able to come." ”

"It's hard to put into words." Xu Ji tried to tell his escape experience as briefly as possible.

Liu You's finish line, "The seventeenth prince hasn't heard the news of the Eastern Capital yet, right?" ”

"What's going on?" Xu Ji traveled all the way, there was no time to inquire about the news, and occasionally met the people, and all the talk he heard was about the riots along the river, and no one talked about the eastern capital.

"The battle of Tongguan was fought by Cao Shen, although it was a big victory, it failed to completely annihilate the rebel army, but ordered the river workers to disperse, spread in all directions, and the officers and soldiers were fighting everywhere."

"Where's the general?"

"It's still outside the Eastern Capital."

"Still there?" Xu Ji was surprised, his father handed him over to the imperial court, he had an edict in his hand, and the king of Xiangdong helped him, so he should have gone to Tongguan to take over the army a long time ago.

"The specific situation is not very clear, in short, the army of the Western Expedition is still led by Cao Shenxi, while guarding Tongguan, blocking the chaotic people in Qinzhou, and chasing down the river workers, it is very anxious."

"Even so, the imperial court doesn't let the general take charge of the army?"

"Now the situation in the eastern capital is chaotic, and the generals, Liang Taifu, Lan Sui, Xi Yun, Jibei Wang, Xiangdong Wang and others are fighting for power, which is even more chaotic than I expected. The seventeenth prince raised his hand and stabbed it, which really caused chaos in the world. ”

Liu Youzhong smiled and spoke, but Xu Ji couldn't laugh, "It's already like this, hasn't Shen Bingzhou made up his mind yet?" ”

"The determination has been made, but it is difficult to act due to the obstruction of the head of Jinyang."

"Can't you get rid of it?"

"I had this intention, but a few days ago, the imperial court sent an envoy, and on the first day, he came up with the idea to help the chief manage to collect the Jinyang soldiers, but instead trapped the father and son. Speaking of this envoy, the seventeenth prince may know him, he also studied in the Temptation Academy, his surname is Guo, and his name is Shifeng. ”
