(Ask for a subscription and ask for a commuter pass.) ）

Guo Shifeng hurried into the tent, he spent a sleepless night, and the news he had just heard made him more and more nervous.

Ma Wei sat on the chair and remained silent, no matter what he was thinking, he couldn't show it in front of many generals, and constantly reminded himself that he was now the king of Liang, not the Yuefu Marquis of the Tiancheng Dynasty.

"The king heard?" Guo Shifeng asked, his gaze couldn't help but turn to Xu Ji, and immediately withdrew it.

"Well, the Jinyang army is approaching our army." Ma Wei sneered, "It is said that the coffin is carried to supervise the battle, and the sons each lead an army." ”

"The Jinyang army is strong and strong, the number of people is several times that of our army, this battle is ......" Guo Shifeng doesn't have to say any more, everyone understands this truth, the Liang army doesn't even have a city to defend, the outermost people are fleeing one after another, and the people in the army are also unstable.

The Liang army was not long after it was first established, and it had not really fought a war.

"I will not back down in this battle. The Jinyang army deliberately planted false accusations, and no matter where I retreated, I would inevitably fight. "Ma Wei actually has no way back, from the moment he passed through Mengjin, he has entered a situation where he is surrounded by enemies on all sides, there is not much room for manoeuvre, and he relies on a fragile alliance to ensure safety.

The alliance was more fragile than he expected.

"The person the Jinyang army wants is none other than me, then I'll go and confront him face to face." Xu Ji has no way out.

Ma Wei shook his head, "As soon as my brother shows up, he will be killed, and it is difficult to argue." You just stay here, don't go anywhere, the Jinyang army is full of revenge, but there are always one or two people in the Shen family who understand, if the Liang and Jin families go to war, the descending army will inevitably panic and withdraw from the coalition army, leaving the Jinyang army alone here, and it will definitely not be an opponent of officers and soldiers. ”

Ma Wei pinned his hopes on the "people who understand" of the Jinyang Army, it was very risky, Xu Ji still had to speak, Guo Shifeng preemptively said: "Although the king's truth is simple, but the Shen family is angry, they may not be able to understand, someone has to persuade it." Let me go, at least they won't kill me as soon as they meet. ”

Ma Wei looked at Guo Shifeng, "If the father killer is Shen Da, he is very likely to kill you, and if it is Shen Wu, he may kill you and Shen Da together." ”

Guo Shifeng said with a smile: "Fighting the sword with the tongue, what you want in your life, the sword is in front, how can you shrink your tongue to avoid the war?" Shen Da and Shen Wu both have the intention of killing me, and they also have the intention of keeping me, why? Whoever I point my mouth at is the murderer of my father. ”

The sons of the Shen family must be in the midst of open and secret battles at this time, Guo Shifeng is the best at seeing the wind and steering the rudder, he can choose the opportunity to take refuge in the strong and identify the weak, he has a lot of secrets, and he has the advantage of his tongue, and he is the "witness" that the strong like and need.

Xu Ji had to say something, but Ma Wei rushed ahead, "Mr. Guo is really willing to go?" ”

"If I can eliminate the military disaster and lead the two armies to the eastern capital, I will make a great contribution, if not, I will also be loyal to the king and do my best for my friends."

Guo Shifeng said impassionedly, Ma Wei laughed, stood up, held one of Xu Ji's hands, and walked together, holding Guo Shifeng's hand at the same time, "The death of Tiancheng began with three people, and this matter is known to the world." We are in line with each other, like-minded, can be an example for friends, I Ma Wei vow: never be a person who abandons friends, never hand over the younger brother to the Jinyang army, never sit back and watch Brother Guo not in the enemy camp, if the sons of the Shen family move Brother Guo's fingers, although the Liang soldiers are few, enough to fight, I will personally lead the soldiers, only death! ”

Guo Shifeng also said loudly: "I, Guo Shifeng, swear: I will never be a person who is unjust, go to the enemy camp, and if you succeed, you will repay the king of Liang, and if you lose, you will be killed. ”

The two swore that one was more poisonous than the other, and Xu Ji said: "I Xu Ji sweared: I will never be an ungrateful person, today's feelings, the sun and the moon can be seen, if it is violated, the sun and the moon will hate me, the ghosts and gods will abandon me, and everyone will kill me!" ”

The three of them laughed, and the surrounding generals were enthusiastic, and some people took the lead and shouted "King Liang" in unison.

Guo Shifeng said to leave, and when he set off, Ma Wei and Xu Ji were sent outside the camp gate to toast and make a toast.

The wine was poured into the big bowl, Guo Shifeng took it in his hand, poured a big sip, threw the bowl on the ground, said "farewell", and greeted the Jinyang army alone.

Ma Wei and Xu Ji also threw the wine bowl on the ground and watched Guo Shifeng gradually move away.

Ma Wei whispered: "No matter whether he succeeds or fails, he won't come back, the Shen family's father killer is ruthless and ambitious, and he is the person he is most willing to assist." ”

"Not necessarily, if he wants to make another great contribution, he will definitely come back to monitor King Liang's every move."

"Hey, come back then, I'm not afraid to watch."

Neither of them believed Guo Shifeng.

Ma Wei returned to the camp, arranged the guards, and ordered the general Pan Kai to lead people to inspect the whole camp back and forth to prevent the soldiers from escaping.

After the generals and colonels were ordered to go, there was no one else in the hall, Xu Ji stepped forward and said: "Ask King Liang for mercy and let me out of the camp." ”

Where does that begin? My brother is free to come and go with me, but where are you going? The sons of the Shen family have not yet torn their faces, and when the father killer feels that the time has come, he will frame the other brothers, and I will protect the younger brother, and he will probably clear your name. ”

"The distant disaster can be solved, and the near sorrow is difficult to eliminate, after I left the barracks, King Liang announced the news, which can make the Jinyang army have no excuse to enter the army."

Ma Wei shook his head, "The Jinyang army has the ambition to monopolize the eastern capital, and they hate me for seizing Yingcheng in the first place, even if the younger brother is not in my camp, they will attack." You don't have to think about it, stay with me and let me call the shots for you. ”

Ma Wei insisted on his opinion, Xu Ji didn't say anything more, and arched his hand: "Military affairs are important, King Liang is busy first, I'll go and rest for a while." ”

"Brother Brother is tired, sleep a little longer, don't think about anything, and when I break through the Eastern Capital, when I want to win the world, I have to rely on Brother Brother to give advice."

Xu Ji returned to his tent and said to Tang Weitian, who was sitting in a daze: "Pack up your things, let's go." ”

"Where are you going?"

"Eastern Capital."

"Good. There's nothing to clean up. ”

Xu Ji didn't have much money left, and the things he brought were nothing more than a few books and a few robes, "Go and ask for three days' rations." ”

"Your three days or my three days?"

The difference in appetite between the two is too great, and Xu Ji's "three-day ration" is not enough for Tang Weitian to let go of a meal.

"Your two-day ration, we probably won't have to go too long." Xu Ji said with a smile.

Tang Weitian went out to ask for food, Xu Ji put a small burden on his shoulder, and muttered: "Breaking the name and being responsible, is this a broken name?" ”

The three of them swore an oath in public, in fact, no one was sincere, in addition to appeasing each other, Ma Wei wanted to win the heart of the general, Guo Shifeng wanted to leave the Liang camp as soon as possible, and Xu Ji complied with the wishes of the two, and had already made the decision to flee at that time.

Tang Weitian came back, carrying two large bags of dry food, and he was not too heavy, "The people here are really good, give as much as you want, these are almost enough for me to eat for two days, and I can also give a little to my son." ”

The two of them went out of the camp from the side gate and found their way to Luoyang, Xu Ji still remembered the path he traveled a few months ago, so that it would not be difficult to distinguish things.

In the barracks, someone had already reported the news of Xu Ji's departure, and King Liang was so busy that he didn't have to report it until the evening, and sighed: "What did I do wrong to make Brother Ji so resolute and say goodbye?" ”

The generals all persuaded: "Xu Gongzi doesn't want to involve the king, since he is gone, we may not have to fight this battle with the Jinyang army." ”

Xu Ji, who hesitated on the road, knew that he had to go, he must not be the reason for the war between the two armies of Liang and Jin, and he also knew that Ma Wei wanted him to go, but it was hard to say.

"After all, I'm not nothing." Xu Ji said loudly.

"yes, with these two bags of dry food, I think I can go to the edge of the sky."

In the chaos in Luozhou, most of the people hid in the city, the houses on the side of the road were empty, and the next morning, there were gradually fleeing pedestrians on the road, no one knew where to go, just followed the crowd.

Xu Ji sat on the side of the road guarding his luggage, and sent Tang Weitian to inquire about the surrounding situation.

Tang Weitian came back soon with a smile on his face, "Go all the way south, there is an army that descends to the world." ”

"Which one?"

"The man couldn't tell, but he knew what kind of king he was."

Xu Ji got up, Tang Weitian carried dry food on his back, and the master and servant looked for a way south, and met a group of people on the way, who were also going to join the World Army, so they walked together.

A total of thirteen people, not very old, similar to Xu Ji, claiming to be a local hero, has long had the heart of rebellion, heard that the descendant army is coming, they first go to check the situation, if the other party is a real hero, go back to the countryside to attract relatives and friends.

"Don't look at the fact that we only have more than ten people, we can bring thousands of people in our hometown!"

The common characteristic of these people is that they can brag, Xu Ji is used to it, no longer feel embarrassed, declare that he is the messenger of the incarnation king, meet officers and soldiers on the road, and disperse with his entourage, there is only one person left around, recommended by him, everyone will be reused.

The two sides had a good chat.

Tang Weitian turned a deaf ear, only cared about the dry food in the baggage, he had already eaten a lot, and calculated how to distribute the rest of the journey.

Thanks to these "local heroes" leading the way, they bypassed the town, evaded a patrol of soldiers, and finally arrived at the camp of the Descendant Army two days later.

This army occupies a small city, controls the passage from the south to Luoyang, the camp extends from the city to the outside of the city, the periphery is mixed, quite has the characteristics of the army of the world, after two or three miles, the camp suddenly becomes regular, the fence is isolated from the periphery, although the tents are various, but they are clearly divided, leaving a wide enough passage in the middle, the soldiers are dressed differently, but they can always maintain the formation, regardless of the number of people.

The thirteen heroes fell in love at first sight, and immediately paid a little more respect to Xu Ji.

Xu Ji came to the camp and said to the guards: "Please inform King Wu Yue, the old Xu Ji came to ask for a meeting." ”

As soon as he saw the style of the camp, Xu Ji guessed that this must be King Wu Yue's team, but he was wondering in his heart, why did Ning Baoguan go south? And why don't you get in touch with the other incarnations so that there is no news of him in the north at all?

Soon, Xu Ji was allowed to enter the city, and at the gate of the city, he met Luo Hanqi, who was standing with a lance.

Luo Hanqi changed into a suit of armor, his face was injured, but he did not have the slightest decline, and said with a smile: "The little white face has become a little black face, it seems that you have also suffered a lot." ”

Xu Ji arched his hand and smiled: "No matter how much hardship you have, it can't compare to General Luo's courage to kill the enemy." ”

"Hehe, I didn't kill much, only more than twenty, but I was stabbed twice, ashamed, ashamed."

More than a dozen young heroes originally thought very highly of themselves, but when they saw the appearance of the barracks, and then heard General Luo's words, they couldn't help but be short of breath, and obediently followed behind Xu Ji, not daring to squeak.

Ning Baoguan is used to meditating alone, and there are often no guards left around, and this time it is the same, seeing Xu Ji coming in, he said lightly: "You are not dead?" ”

"Not dead."

"Brought back the Jizhou soldiers?"

"Nope."

"Good." Ning Baoguan has never supported the recruitment of Jizhou troops, and agreed that Xu Ji would send an envoy to Yecheng, just to observe the situation, "Shen Zhi was killed by you?" ”

Ning Baoguan did not communicate with the north, but he understood the movements of the armies.

Xu Ji has been walking, not running the rumors, shaking his head and saying, "No." ”

"Well, you stay, I plan to accept the imperial court's recruitment, and I can just use you."
