Guo Shifeng took a car, and brought another car loaded with treasures, and King Wu allowed him to take it at will in the official treasury of the Eastern Capital.

"Strategists use their wealth like generals and soldiers, the more the merrier, and if they can't use it up, their ability is not big enough." Before leaving, he said to King Wu, and promised him, "If I have a pearl left here, I will also ask King Wu for my guilt when I come back, and no matter how much merit I make, I can erase it." ”

Guo Shifeng threw down this unusual rhetoric, and under the escort of a hundred guards, he boarded the car and set off, deliberately bypassing the Supreme Garden, so as not to meet the Ning army heading east, but was stopped shortly after nightfall that day.

The roadblocks were more than 30 knights, wearing all kinds of armor, holding torches, looking like soldiers and bandits, Guo Shifeng didn't take it seriously, and smiled at the leader of the guards: "Your luck is better than mine, and you can make meritorious contributions before you reach Huaizhou." ”

Hundreds of guards slapped their horses to meet them, and before they could fight, they saw a large group of knights emerging in the depressions on both sides of the road, and everyone couldn't help but be shocked, and turned the horse's head, but saw that there were interceptors behind him, and Mr. Guo, who was calm and calm just now, sat in the car at this time, and did not dare to say a word.

The leader of the guards noticed that some of them looked familiar, "Hey, you guys...... You are all subordinates of King Ning, how can you ...... Got here? ”

It is better to make friends than to fight, from the leader down, all the guards restrain their horses and put down their weapons.

The other party drove over, looked back and forth, and asked coldly, "You are Wu Jun?" Liang Jun? Shu army? Jin Army? The Incarnation? ”

"The Descending Army, we are all Descending Army." The leader immediately said, everyone knows that King Ning's subordinates hate Wu Bing.

The other party's expression softened slightly, "This road is blocked, you can't walk." ”

"No problem, let's take a detour." The leader smirked.

The other party shook his head, "After you leave, the news will definitely be leaked, please come with us and let King Ning deal with it." ”

"This ...... We have urgent matters, and we will definitely not leak the news, can we be accommodating......"

"Accommodating? King Ning's order is to kill people when they see them, I see that you are the descending army, so I will show mercy to my subordinates and take you to see King Ning, how do you want to be accommodating? ”

The leader of the guards didn't dare to bargain anymore, and said with a smile: "King Ning is also from the Descending Army, seeing that he is no problem, I also toasted King Ning, my wife's third sister, married to a nephew of Niu Tiannu, everyone is a relative." ”

Guo Shifeng fell into the hands of Ning Jun like this, and his arrogance suddenly leaked seventy or eighty percent, until he saw the camp in the wilderness, he regained his self-confidence, and said secretly: With his three-inch tongue, he doesn't believe that he can't pass the level of King Ning.

The camp was very crude, but it was heavily guarded, there were sentinels ten miles away, there were no passes, no codes, all acquaintances could call each other by name.

Vehicles and horses were confiscated, Guo Shifeng and others were enclosed in the fence like livestock, and people outside came and went, all looking at them with indifferent and ruthless eyes.

After waiting for a long time, Guo Shifeng's confidence began to decline again, and the leader of the guards recalled his relationship with King Ning vigorously, hoping to save his life.

"King Ning really dares to make a dead move." The leader addressed the people.

There is no need for him to say this, King Ning just set fire to thousands of Wu soldiers not long ago, if you are ruthless, the kings are unsurpassed.

The night was getting deeper, and there were only two torches around to illuminate it, and although the deep winter had passed, the night wind was still as cold as a gust of cold, freezing everyone into a ball and shivering.

After nearly three watches, someone finally came over and said loudly: "Who is Guo Shifeng?" ”

"In Xia Guo Shifeng." Guo Shifeng walked out with his head held high, which is one of the most basic qualities of a strategist: no matter when and where he is, he must maintain a calm demeanor in danger, otherwise, no matter how good his words are, he will lose three or five points.

Guo Shifeng was taken to a large tent.

Ning hugged Guan and sat in the middle, and there were three generals sitting on each side, all of them bowing their heads to drink wine and eat meat, all of them expressionless, as if they had just made an awkward fuss.

Guo Shifeng took a step forward, bowed deeply, and stepped forward and said, "King Wu's strategist Guo Shifeng, meet King Ning." ”

Ning Baoguan swallowed the meat in his mouth, drank the wine in the bowl, grabbed the hem of his cotton coat casually, and wiped it twice, "Have you returned to King Wu?" ”

"I have always been loyal to King Wu and served him for his life." Guo Shifeng smiled and said, "This trip is also to do something big for King Wu." ”

"Well, it should be a big deal, you have a lot of jewelry, who do you want to give it to?"

"Give it to someone who is destined, such as King Ning."

"Hey, those things can't be eaten or used, what's the use of me coming? Not as good as the horses you ride. ”

"The horses were also given to King Ning, as for the jewels...... Empress Dowager Luan may like it. Guo Shifeng took the risk to say this, immediately shut up, and carefully observed Ning Baoguan's expression.

Ning Baoguan looked away and said to the generals on both sides, "Did you hear that?" The jewels were given to the Queen Mother. ”

Among the generals, Luo Hanqi followed King Ning the longest and was the most trusted, but at this time, he showed no mercy at all, threw the bone in his hand to the ground, stood up, and said angrily: "It's just a woman, is it worth King Ning to care so much?" I'm going to cut off her head and see how much jewelry she can wear! ”

The atmosphere in the tent was suddenly tense, Guo Shifeng didn't dare to participate, and stood quietly, thinking to himself, Wang will lose peace, maybe this is his chance.

Ning Baoguan didn't get angry, didn't get up, sat there and said flatly: "If you cut off her head, I'll cut off your head, one for another, what do you think?" ”

Luo Hanqi's face turned red, "Count me as having no beads in my eyes, and I followed the wrong person!" "I didn't say goodbye, I stepped out of the account, I don't know whether to sulk, or really want to cut off the queen mother's head.

A general was afraid that the matter would be big, so he hurriedly followed out, and Ning Baoguan waved his hand and said, "Let's go." ”

The generals took their leave.

Guo Shifeng once again bowed his hand to King Ning, "King Ning has a clever plan in his heart, but unfortunately the generals don't know, and when they understand, they will apologize to King Ning and admit their mistakes." ”

Ning Baoguan sneered, nodded to the guards at the door, motioned for them to go out, and then said, "Mr. Guo, don't waste your eloquence, let me ask you, how is the situation in the Eastern Capital?" ”

"Everything is fine, King Wu is about to conquer the Quartet and pacify the world."

"What a coincidence, I also have this intention, Mr. Guo thinks that compared with King Wu, who is stronger and who is weak? In the future, who will win and who will lose? ”

"King Ning has 6,000 cavalry, King Wu has 300,000 elite soldiers, King Ning has no fixed place to live, committed to the wilderness, King Wu fights alone in the Eastern Capital, and the world is powerful, how can it be compared?"

"Hey, 300,000, with the mouths of your strategists, you can rule the world in a few words."

"King Ning also knows the importance of strategists."

"You don't have to cover up for King Wu, although I am hiding in the wilderness, the news is not closed, I have heard that the siege of the eastern capital is only slightly eased, Yecheng contacts the heroes, and will besiege the eastern capital again, this time there are more troops, even if the king of Wu has three heads and six arms, he can't hold out for long. What's more, there is a shortage of food in the city, and in a few days, King Wu will collapse without a fight. ”

"The eastern capital is short of food, and it is richer than in King Ning's camp - King Ning eats horse meat, right?"

Ning Baoguan took away a thousand horses, he has always attached importance to cavalry, to the point of eating horses, that is, the grain and grass will be exhausted.

"Tired horses, don't eat waste." Ning Baoguan suddenly raised his right index finger and motioned for Guo Shifeng to listen, and only said after a while: "Did you hear that?" ”

There was a faint scream outside the tent, Guo Shifeng's face was pale, "Those people are not Wu people......

"They just didn't come at the right time."

Guo Shifeng's face turned even paler, "King Ning...... Do you want to take advantage of the fire? ”

"Haha, smart people understand quickly. So you're willing to tell me the real situation in the Eastern Capital? My men could only watch from afar, and did not dare to enter the city. ”

Guo Shifeng swallowed his saliva, Ning Baoguan was another kind of person, he was a little uncertain, "The situation in the eastern capital is critical, there is the Jingzhou army in the south, the army of Jizhou, Bingzhou and He Rongbu in the north, and the Shengjia army in the east......"

"Are you going east to persuade the Sheng family?"

"Persuade the Sheng family to throw themselves to King Wu, at least the two will not help each other."

"What are King Wu's plans?"

"He sent the king of Liang to guard Mengjin, the general of the world to meet the Jingzhou army, and also sent envoys to Qinzhou and Hanzhou to recruit the ...... of the world."

"Far water does not quench the thirst of the near. Wu Wang Danfan is still a little wise, he should take advantage of the opportunity that the enemy forces have not yet converged, and lead the whole army to break through Jingzhou first, if the south is defeated, the north will naturally not dare to approach. ”

"I don't know what King Wu thinks, when I left, he was still in the city." Guo Shifeng didn't dare to lie.

Ning Baoguan thought for a while, "King Wu will definitely go all out to meet the Jingzhou army, and he sent you to Huaizhou, not to win over the Sheng family, but to confuse the Sheng family and make them think that King Wu would take the defensive." ”

"King Ning."

"But King Wu doesn't know that I'll hide nearby, and when he leaves, I'll go to his lair, what do you think?"

"Clever plan."

"I won't be as soft-hearted as King Wu, after taking the city, I will immediately distribute it to all the soldiers, and no one will complain about me rescuing the Queen Mother."

"I see, I thought King Ning had another plan to take the Queen Mother away."

"Really? Tell me what you think is a clever plan, and I can compare it. ”

There were still screams outside, Guo Shifeng calmed himself down, and said: "Emperor Tiancheng was taken to Jiangdong Stone City by the Liang and Lan families, although he is not supported by the county, at least he has an orthodox name. The Queen Mother is the emperor's biological mother, and I thought that King Ning took away the Queen Mother for this reason and wanted to conquer Jiangdong in her name. ”

"When the emperor ran away, he didn't bring his own mother, and he was held hostage by his foreign surname, but at this time, he would care about the life and death of the queen mother? Jiangdong County doesn't even accept the emperor, can you serve the emperor's mother? ”

Guo Shifeng was anxious to save his life, and said with a smile: "Why didn't King Ning return the Queen Mother, and use this as a name along the way to pacify Jiangdong County for Emperor Zhang?" ”

"Why should I do it for ......" Ning Baoguan suddenly realized, with only thousands of river workers, if you want to conquer Jiangdong, it will be even more difficult, and it is lucky to be able to rush to Jiangdong.

He needs a "name", and the Queen Mother is an excellent choice, and more importantly, the hijacking of the Queen Mother suddenly becomes a clever plan, rather than trying to be quick for a while, which can alleviate the dissatisfaction of the generals.

"Wouldn't I be a minister of heaven? Bullied by the Liang and Lan families? ”

"Liang and Lan can hold the emperor hostage, with the wisdom and courage of King Ning, why can't they hold two families hostage?"

Ning Baoguan stared at Guo Shifeng and thought for a long time, "It seems that I really need a strategist - okay, I will take the Queen Mother to Jiangdong, 'return' her to Emperor Zhang, and give him a godfather by the way." ”

Guo Shifeng breathed a sigh of relief, "If King Ning wants to go to Jiangdong, it should be sooner rather than ......later."

"Don't worry, wait for two more days, if King Wu leads his troops out of the city early, I still have a chance to seize the eastern capital, and it's not too late to add some supplies and go to Jiangdong."

Guo Shifeng smiled and nodded, not knowing how to remind King Wu that there was a strong enemy hidden in the elbow of the eastern capital.
