Chapter 500: Stay
"Zhonggong invites Mr. Kou to go." Zhou Yuanbin said, watching Kou Daogu leave, did not follow, he was ordered to invite one person.
"Zhonggong is like this, she has a good idea since she was a child, and even Qiangjian Shan has to obey her before she was alive, and now no one can persuade her, but she won't kill people anymore."
"Did the middle palace promise Zhou to join the army?"
"Hah, how can this kind of thing be guaranteed? I can't even mention it, but Nakanomiya sent me a bunch of tasks, indicating that he wants to use me again. Zhou Yuanbin's face was happy.
"Zhou joins the army, don't forget King Jin."
"No, no, it's just...... As Mr. Xu said, the time has not come, the time has not come. Zhou Yuanbin didn't want to talk about it, but said with a smile: "Mr. Xu has one thing to guess wrong, the middle palace didn't say that Shan Yu was assassinated, and he also ordered everyone to be forbidden to talk about it. ”
Xu Ji was thinking about something else in his heart, and said casually: "This is a plan to delay the army, the middle palace will wait until he returns to Xiangyang to summon the king of the right capital, and then 'avenges' for Shan Yu." ”
"Mr. Xu guessed wrong several times." Zhou Yuanbin reminded.
Xu Ji smiled, "The more this is the case, the more you have to continue to guess, in case you guess the big one, it is enough to make up for the previous mistakes." ”
"Isn't that a gambler?"
"Exactly, I'm going to gamble again."
"Bet on what?"
"Zhonggong will retreat and return to Saiwai."
Zhou Yuanbin shook his head, "The Middle Palace has said it very clearly, and it was said in public, and King Zuo Xian also agreed, vowing to defeat the Central Plains people here before succeeding to the throne." If Mr. Xu knew He Rongren as well as I did, he would know that Zhonggong would never dare to lie about this kind of thing. ”
"I'm going to gamble again."
"Hehe, Mr. Xu, bet with yourself, I'm busy, and there are many things to do." Zhou Yuanbin took his leave.
There was some food in the tent, and Xu Ji thought while eating.
Someone lifted the curtain and came in, Xu Ji thought it was Kou Daogu, and didn't turn his head until he heard laughter, so he looked over and immediately got up, "It turned out to be the eldest brother." ”
Liu Youzhong smiled and said: "The fourth brother is hard, he just arrived not long ago, right?" ”
"Big brother is also hard, trapped here for a long time, right?"
"Haha." Liu Youzhong walked to the opposite side, his expression became serious, and he said in a low voice: "King Jin originally wanted to take the opportunity to withdraw after the feint, but he didn't expect the strong arm to come too quickly. ”
"He led more than 10,000 troops at that time."
"Who knew at the time, as soon as I heard that Shan Yu was in person, everyone lost their fighting spirit......"
"How's the other side?"
"Didn't you hear about the fourth brother when he came?"
"He Rongren said that after Shan Yu was wounded on the battlefield, he turned into a huge black wolf, rushed into the group of heroes and tore through it, killing countless enemies."
"Hehe, no one will admit that they have lost the battle, but it is no wonder, because it is indeed a little unclear. He Rongbu was seriously injured on his side, but many people didn't know it at the time, and it was not an exaggeration to continue to fight, saying that 'countless enemies were killed'. On the other side of the group - the word "group of heroes" is no longer worthy of the name. ”
"What do you mean?"
"King Ning can always surprise, according to reliable rumors, King Ning killed dozens of leaders by the river, and also set fire to all the ships on the river, and then fought with He Rong's army - to say that although this trick is ruthless, but it is really useful, the soldiers of the Ning army fought to the death, suffered heavy casualties, but also killed many enemy soldiers. Now the two sides are facing each other, less than 20 miles apart, and there have been several small battles, but there is no winner or loser. ”
"What are King Jin's plans?"
"Shan Yu is dead, and the king of Jin wants to return to the state, but it is difficult to get permission, I heard that the fourth brother has just been summoned by the middle palace......"
"Why didn't the eldest brother go to Zhou Senjun for help?"
"Zhou Yuanbin? This person is half-hearted, and tends to be inflammatory, not worth a letter, the king of Jin asked him for help several times, but he did not get a response. ”
"It's not that Zhou Yuanbin doesn't want to help, but he really has more than enough strength to do it, but now is an opportunity, Zhou Yuanbin can get out of the predicament with his hands."
Liu Youzhong immediately gave up his hand and said: "Please ask the fourth brother for advice, the king of Jin can't come in person, but as soon as I heard that the fourth brother arrived, let me come over to visit......"
"When King Jin returns to Merge State, the first priority is to repel King Liang, right?"
"Of course."
"What about after success?"
"King Jin has accepted the lesson, he has no greater ambitions, and once the situation in the annexed state is stable, he will inevitably lead his troops to join the He Rong Department again."
Xu Ji shook his head, "If King Jin holds this kind of talk, He Rongren will definitely not believe it, and he will not let him go." ”
"What should I say?"
"If the Liang army is not completely wiped out and the army is not withdrawn, the king of Liang will flee to Yuyang, and he will attack Yuyang, and if he flees to Yecheng, he will attack Yecheng."
"In this way, you can enter Jizhou, He Rongren...... Will Nakanomiya agree? ”
"You can try, in short, King Jin hates King Liang to the bone, and all those who are allied with King Liang must be wiped out."
"Including...... Yuyang? Liu Youzhong was a little puzzled, at least on the surface, Yuyang's Tiancheng court was forced to bow to King Liang, and Shan Yu never publicly accused Yuyang Zhang before his death, but had the intention of helping.
"Especially Yuyang."
"Fourth brother, can you make it clearer?"
"The eldest brother went to ask Zhou Yuanbin, he can say what he wants, and he can't force it if he doesn't want to say it."
Kou Daogu came in from outside, and Liu Youzhong immediately smiled and said: "I see, the fourth brother has really had a hard time this way, go to my place for a drink?" ”
"I'm really tired today, let's do another day."
"In that case, don't disturb the fourth brother's rest." Liu Youzhong finally bowed his hand and nodded to Kou Daogu.
Xu Ji was indeed tired, and lay down to sleep for a while, but Kou Daogu came over and said, "Tomorrow, you and I will send King Ning." ”
"Huh?" Xu Ji sat up.
"Zhonggong ordered you and me to serve as envoys to persuade King Ning to either surrender or choose a decisive battle on a certain day, and all the knights of He Rong's department are ready."
"It's ...... Your idea? ”
Kou Daogu was already tall, but when he raised his head slightly, he looked even taller, "Isn't it appropriate?" ”
"King Ning will not surrender."
"Then the decisive battle, King Ning burned the ship and cut off the retreat, there is not much food and grass left in the army, and the decisive battle is his best choice."
"Why are you pulling me?"
"King Ning believes you, don't believe me."
"Believe me what?"
"He Rong people have the heart of decisive battle."
"But I don't believe it myself."
"Hey, do you need me to remind you? The princess is still in Xiangyang. ”
Xu Ji really almost forgot that there was another "Princess Fangde" in Xiangyang, and he stared at Kou Daogu for a while, "Okay." ”
Kou Daogu turned to leave, he had already arrived at another tent.
Xu Ji was finally able to sleep steadily.
The next morning, Xu Ji and Kou Daogu took only four guards and rode to the camp of the Ning army.
The whole camp was shrouded in a strange atmosphere, as if it was more sad than the loss of He Rongbu, everyone looked blank, rarely talked, there were dilapidated equipment and tents everywhere, the soldiers were not in good clothes, they were dragging weapons in their hands, and they walked around, and there were almost no generals in sight.
Ning Baoguan built another small camp in the big camp, which was heavily guarded by his cronies and soldiers.
Two emissaries were brought into the tent of the Chinese army.
Ning Baoguan didn't change much, he still had that cold expression, he sat on the chair without saying a word, and the generals lined up on both sides were also silent.
Kou Daogu spoke first, asking King Ning to either surrender or fight a decisive battle, and after saying that, he stood there and did not get a response for a long time.
Ning Baoguan finally came back to his senses, but his eyes were at Xu Ji, and asked, "Shan Yu is really dead?" ”
"The injury is not healed, it was yesterday." Xu Jidao.
"Got a new order?"
"Not yet, but King Zuo Xian has been designated to succeed to the throne, and the ceremony will be held after the war here is over."
"Okay, tell He Rongren that tomorrow morning the decisive battle, this time it is necessary to divide the winner and loser."
Xu Ji glanced at Kou Daogu, "I'm not going back over there." ”
Ning Baoguan sneered, "You are also a guest at He Rongren?" ”
"Prisoners, to be exact."
"Then stay, and you will participate in tomorrow's decisive battle."
"King Ning doesn't need a decisive battle, He Rong people already have the intention of retreating, and the invitation to fight is just a threat, but a strategy to advance and retreat."
"Whether He Rongren uses a trick or a decisive battle, I will fight this battle tomorrow, because He Rongren can wait, I can't wait." Ning Baoguan turned to Kou Daogu, "Then it's up to you to go back and deliver the letter." ”
"I'm going to stay too."
As soon as these words came out, Ning Baoguan and Xu Ji were both surprised, especially Xu Ji, who didn't expect Kou Daogu to say such a thing.
"You...... Why stay? Ning Baoguan asked in surprise.
"King Ning wants to take over the world, why don't you welcome the people of the world?"
Ning Baoguan was stunned again, glanced at Xu Ji, saw that he was also at a loss, and asked, "What's your name?" ”
"Kou Daogu, Fan Guan's disciple."
"It's okay if you want to stay, but I don't have a scholar's position here, seeing that you are tall, do you intend to abandon literature and martial arts?"
"If King Ning only wants to take over the world with swords and guns, I won't stay."
"Hey, if you don't rely on knives and guns, what else?"
"I have a plan to calm the world, but I don't want to be an outsider, so I can only tell King Ning alone."
Ning Baoguan laughed, "Are you an assassin?" ”
"Xu Ji knows me, King Ning can ask him."
Ning Baoguan looked over, and Xu Ji said: "I don't know if Mr. Kou has a strategy to level the world, but he is by no means an assassin. ”
Ning Baoguan thought for a while, felt interesting, and said to the generals: "You guys retreat first." ”
"King Ning should not be careless." A general persuaded.
"Do you think a scholar can kill me?"
No one dared to squeak anymore, and they came out one after another.
Kou Daogu said: "Xu Ji is also an outsider. ”
Ning Baoguan said: "You also brought other followers?" ”
The two nodded, and Ning hugged Guan and said, "Please Mr. Xu send his entourage back, tomorrow morning the decisive battle, that's it." ”
Xu Ji retired, and after going out, he first asked the four guards to go back to restore his life, standing outside the tent of the Chinese army and waiting, he couldn't guess Kou Daogu's intentions, but he didn't believe that this person would have a plan to assassinate.
Luo Hanqi, the general of the Ning army, walked over and patted Xu Ji twice on the shoulder, "You are still alive." ”
Xu Ji smiled: "General Luo...... Injured? ”
"Flesh wounds." Luo Hanqi grinned and said casually, "Do you often talk about me over there?" ”
"I'm a captive over there, and I have very little contact with others."
"And you don't understand He Rongren's strange words."
"I don't understand."
Luo Hanqi lowered his voice inexplicably, "It's me who stabbed Shan Yu with a lance." ”
"Oh." Xu Ji didn't know what to say.
"What, don't you believe it?" Luo Hanqi looked angry.
"Just because I believe it, I am not surprised."
Luo Hanqi laughed, "I'll stab Xin Shan Yu again tomorrow." ”
"General Luo will definitely succeed immediately." A person next to him interjected and bowed his hand to Xu Ji.
"General Song." Xu Ji returned the salute, he had seen Song Zhuzhu earlier, and just had the opportunity to say hello, wondering how Song Zhuzhu survived when the heroes were killed?
