Xu Ji came to the table, personally poured tea for Ning Baoguan and his wife, and said with a smile: "I do have more ideas." ”

"It's all a harmful idea, let's say, how are you going to hurt me this time?" Ning Baoguan unceremoniously picked up the tea and drank it, and he didn't get up, and his wife Niu Tiannu stood beside King Wu, without the slightest rudeness.

"Let me ask first, if I fail to occupy the northern city, how does King Ning plan to deal with me?"

Ning Baoguan looked at King Wu coldly, ignoring his wife's eyes, "Then you have already been taken to the sky by Xue Liu'er, Weng and son-in-law reunited, looking down on the world, I will let people give you paper soldiers and paper horses to help you rebel in the sky." ”

Xu Ji laughed, "I didn't expect King Ning to tell jokes." ”

Ning Baoguan didn't smile, "Becoming a king or defeating a king, I have nothing to say, and you don't need to pretend to be a good person with rhetoric, just say it directly." My wife thought things might turn around, saying that you didn't kill me then, and you won't in the future. I don't have this thought, it's not that I don't want to live, but I think that if I accept your conditions, there is a chance that life will be worse than death. ”

"If there is a good wife in the family, the husband will not suffer misfortune. King Ning should listen more to his wife. ”

"Like you? King Wu listened to his wife's words very much, and let him do whatever he wanted, and he didn't care if he was tied to the high platform, or was this a bitter plan for you husband and wife? It's a good use. ”

Niu Tiannu pressed her husband's shoulder and said softly: "I usually don't talk much, but now I don't need to talk too much, you don't rely on your mouth to build the world." ”

"King Wu......" Ning Baoguan held back the second half of his words and nodded, "If King Wu has any requirements, please say." ”

"I'm very happy to see that King Ning's heart hasn't changed."

"Hmm." Ning Baoguan returned to his usual appearance, saying few words and his face gloomy.

"King Ning once promised Jiangdong to me, I am very grateful."

"It's a small thing."

"If you are still courteous and hurt me, I will fight back, help me, and I will repay the favor."

Ning Baoguan's expression became more and more gloomy, as to which of the two sides had the intention of harming others, they could fight for a few years.

"I plan to return Jiangdong to King Ning."

Ning hugged Guan raised his eyebrows, but did not speak, Niu Tiannu said: "Jiangdong is the land of King Wu, we dare not ask for it." ”

"Let's say it clearly, I don't really give Ning Wang Jiangdong, you go first, and I will lead the troops to fight with Ning Wang in the future. The winner wins Jiangdong, and the loser - after today, you and I have settled our grievances, and there is no need to show mercy to our subordinates. ”

"I never wanted to show mercy to your men, but it's a pity that I did it too late." Ning Baoguan's shoulder was pinched by Niu Tiannu, and his teeth were bared in pain.

"King Wu, please continue." Niu Tiannu said.

"There are more than 8,000 people in the Ning army and 3,000 horses."

"It should be more than that, after Xue Liu'er's death, many descending armies ...... Okay, King Wu will not be wrong, eight thousand people. Ning Baoguan changed his words halfway, but his wife watched it too closely.

"King Ning can take all eight thousand men, and the horses a thousand, leaving two thousand."

Ning Baoguan really couldn't say anything, because he already understood King Wu's intentions.

"Tomorrow King Ning will return to the camp, early the day after tomorrow, you will lead your troops out of the city from the east, if you want to surrender, you will surrender, if you want to fight, you will fight, but you must not turn back, and the east will not open the door for King Ning again."

"The officers and soldiers have long distrusted King Ning, and if they surrender, they will die, and King Ning and I are willing to fight to the death, or there is a way to live." Niu Tiannu replied on her behalf.

"The day after tomorrow, I will not sit and watch King Ning fight alone, after King Ning leaves the city, I will send the righteous army to King Ning for a ride."

"You want me to be a pioneer for you?" Ning Baoguan asked.

"After breaking through the encirclement of officers and soldiers, King Ning will go to Jiangdong by himself, and in a year or two, I will not compete with you for his land."

Within a year or two, Ning Baoguan was sure that he had trained an invincible cavalry, and he couldn't help but be moved, and his face softened slightly.

"After this defeat, how dare King Ning compete with King Wu again?" Regardless of whether King Wu believes it or not, Niu Tiannu insists on being humble, "King Wu let King Ning rush the enemy camp first, and we are duty-bound." King Wu asked King Ning to go to Jiangdong, let's go, if we can get away with Jiangdong, we will immediately dedicate it to King Wu, and we will never dare to keep it for ourselves. ”

Xu Ji smiled slightly, "King Ning goes to Jiangdong, Mrs. Niu has to stay in the Eastern Capital for a while, and after King Ning settles Jiangdong, I will send you over." Rest assured, this is my promise, and there is nothing false about it. ”

Goddess Niu Tian's expression changed slightly, and she immediately returned to normal, "Okay, I really can't stand the pain of the bumps in the army." Since I stayed, let me keep a few of the children, who are too young to suffer. ”

Xu Ji smiled and nodded, Ning Huguan didn't say a word, this was not the first time he had separated from his wife and children, but it was the most helpless.

"After King Ning leaves the city, when he can attract Jizhou cavalry, at most half an hour, the righteous army will attack from Xicheng and fight on both sides, so that the officers and soldiers cannot take care of both."

"Well, this time King Wu won't notify the officers and soldiers in advance, so that I won't be in the battle, right?" Ning Baoguan still couldn't hold back.

"The battle of the day after tomorrow is different from yesterday. Yesterday, the officers and soldiers had the advantage, and I only wanted to be undefeated, so as to rectify the righteous army in the city and twist it into a single force. The day after tomorrow, the rebel army has the upper hand, and the rebel army has also belonged to me, I want to break the siege and win, and the small contradiction between you and me is not enough to interfere with the big plan. ”

Ning Baoguan stood up, pushed his wife away, and arched his hand: "King Wu will send King Jin to break through first, so this time, I believe you." ”

"Heaven is stiff but not dead, branches grow on all sides, and it is the greatest disaster of the righteous army. I sent the King of Jin and the King of Ning are both the same truth, first to eliminate troubles, and then to talk about heroes. The Liang and Lan families have taken the emperor hostage to Jiangdong first, and King Ning is here, breaking through is the first pass, but it is not the most difficult, and seizing Jiangdong is the real difficulty. ”

"As fate would have it, I had to go to Jiangdong to take a look at the scenery of my hometown."

Xu Ji said goodbye and couldn't help but sigh as he left.

The door closed, and Niu Tiannu immediately asked, "Is King Wu sincere?" ”

Ning Baoguan nodded.

"What did he mean by his last sigh?"

"Sigh, I won't be of use to him."

Niu Tiannu nodded and complained, "Why did you say those useless words just now? Under the eaves of people, how can you not bow your head? What's more, you are now being trampled under the feet of King Wu. ”

"If I don't show anger, King Wu won't believe me."

Niu Tiannu was stunned for a moment, understanding what her husband meant, King Ning, who was too calm, would arouse King Wu's suspicions, and couldn't help laughing, "What should I do the day after tomorrow?" Do you really want to die for King Wu? ”

"We'll talk about it then." Ning Baoguan refused to make a decision first.

There are a lot of problems when there is nothing to do, but when she is in trouble, she is more and more frustrated, this is the most important point for Niu Tiannu to her husband, and asked with a smile: "Do you still think about the Queen Mother?" ”

Ning Baoguan didn't answer.

Niu Tiannu didn't ask any more questions, knowing that in some things, she couldn't cross the line, "I stay with the child, you don't have to worry, you can do whatever you want, I will take care of the little one." ”

Xu Ji didn't want to know what Meng Shenglun was doing, so he left the camp with the guards and went to the Liang camp in Dongcheng again.

Tang Weitian was so sleepy that he yawned, but he still followed King Wu tightly and did not leave a step.

The daytime meeting was for the soldiers, and the evening visit was the real secret conversation.

Ma Wei changed into a distinctive armor, welcomed King Wu into the hall, and said with a smile: "I guess King Wu will come, what's the matter, there is a way to break the enemy?" ”

The officers and soldiers were still outside, and Ma Wei could not relax for a moment.

"Hmm. Did Brother Ma bring his family here? ”

Ma Wei was originally a marquis of Yuefu, and his wife and children all lived in the eastern capital, but since he entered the city, he has never mentioned it.

"It's a war, and the lives of the soldiers are hard to protect, why should I bring my family here? They can't help. It is enough for me to send someone to protect it. ”

"The rebels all bring their families, and Brother Ma doesn't have to be too difficult for himself."

Ma Wei smiled, "King Wu is right, I will bring my wife and children tomorrow." It seems that King Wu has really come up with a clever plan to break the enemy. ”

"It's not a good idea, but it's worth a try." Xu Ji roughly told him how he saw Ning Baoguan.

Ma Wei was very surprised, "King Wu...... This is the return of the tiger to the mountain. ”

"If King Ning is not a tiger, I will not let him go. I don't hide it from Brother Ma, my ambition is to pacify the world, not to monopolize a city in the eastern capital. But now I have only one city, less than one percent of the world. There are two kings and the empress dowager in Jizhou, Liang and Lan and the emperor in Wuzhou, a general in Hanzhou, and Xi in Jingzhou...... If you don't let a few tigers go out, how can you have a chance to compete for the world? ”

"King Wu has been thinking for a long time, it's good if you think it's right."

"It's Brother Ma, I'll have to let it out soon."

Ma Wei's face changed, and he immediately smiled: "King Jin and King Ning are real tigers, I'm not, I'd rather stay by King Wu's side, be a hunting dog, and go on an expedition with King Wu." ”

"King Jin and King Ning are evil tigers, they will fight back sooner or later, and they will have a battle with me. Brother Ma is a friendly tiger, without you being alone, how can I rest assured. ”

Ma Wei Dayue arched his hand and said: "In public and private, in love and righteousness, I will never live up to the trust of King Wu." ”

The two opened their hearts and chatted freely, Ma Wei invited himself to go west, captured Han and Jing for King Wu, and did not forget to remind: "Beware of Gan Zhao, he is a deep and ambitious person, and he will never live under others for a long time." ”

"Gan Zhao is indeed ambitious, but his strength is insufficient, and he will not cause trouble for the time being. After repelling the officers and soldiers, I will let him go to Yizhou and open a passage for Brother Ma's westward expedition. ”

Ma Wei said angrily: "The world is turbulent, who can calm down if it is not King Wu?" When Guo Shifeng comes back, I will count him well, he claims to be knowledgeable, but he is actually blind. ”

It was already the second half of the night when Xu Ji said goodbye, and it was not until the end that he told Ma Wei: "The so-called sound of the east and the west, is what I said to Ning Baoguan, Brother Ma gathered the whole army, and the day after tomorrow I gave the order, the righteous army may also follow Ning Wang to the east." ”

Ma Wei nodded again and again, "Ning Baoguan is not credible, King Wu should make many preparations." Liang Jun didn't say, where did King Wu point to it. ”

Ma Wei is weak and lonely, willing to forbear, and wants the land of Yizhou, Xu Ji does not have much suspicion about these two people at present.

All the kings have to leave sooner or later, although Wu will be loyal, but it is useless, Xu Ji began to think about the selection of people, and when the officers and soldiers are repulsed, he has to quickly promote a group of generals, and the people have been decided.

There will definitely be a flat river ahead, but Xu Ji is not worried, he has gone through the most difficult part of the road and is full of confidence in the future.

Back in the camp, a group of people greeted him, and the leader was Meng Shenglun.

Xu Ji was slightly angry in his heart, he gave a step, and Meng Shenglun also promised to do well, but he didn't act according to the plan when it came to the end.

Meng Seng Lun should have led his troops out of the city to die, knowing that King Wu was dissatisfied, he said as soon as he arrived in front of him: "Something happened, General Song was assassinated, and there are officers and soldiers hiding in the city." ”
