Chapter 506: That's right
Gan Zhao cared most about the safety of Yizhou, and his original intention was to defeat Yang Qinzai's navy on the river, and make a show for Shan Yu, so there were many ships in the army, hundreds of boats of all sizes, and only seven or eight thousand soldiers.
Seeing that the Song army came one after another, the number of people increased, although there were not 100,000 people, there were as many as 20,000 or 30,000, Gan Zhao couldn't help but feel apprehensive in his heart, and regretted his hasty decision after drinking, so he ordered the generals under his command to secretly prepare for war again, and he personally climbed to a high place to supervise the Song soldiers on board.
It wasn't until the first ships had departed, and there had been no accidents, that Gan Zhao was a little relieved, and the hangover from the previous night came to his head, and he asked his attendant to help him back to the ship to restβthe camp on the shore was improvised, and the tents were far less comfortable than the cabins.
The two maids took care of the King of Shu meticulously, and after Gan Zhao lay down, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "Like the two of you, it is worth at least five hundred taels of silver in Qinzhou, and each person, when I was a small official, it was difficult to take a look." β
The two maids both laughed, and one said, "It's only a thousand taels together, not much." β
"Hehe, you grew up in a rich family, and you don't know the hardships outside, not to mention that it was back then, and now it's more valuable."
"How much did the King of Shu spend when he bought us?"
"Haha, this is exactly what I feel: others hate troubled times, but I want to thank the troubled times, from the Qinzhou officials to the lord of Yizhou, the beauties in front of me are like clouds, and they don't cost anything."
"Who made you the king of Shu? Our sisters are lucky, become the maids of the King of Shu, eat and dress better than before, it is rare that the King of Shu is a reasonable person, do not beat or scold us, we always say in private that this is a blessing from the previous life. β
"Isn't it, we are with the king of Dingshu, one day the king of Shu is tired of us, don't sell us, stay by your side to be a rough maid, we are also satisfied."
"Don't sell, don't sell, don't sell 10,000 taels of gold." Gan Zhao was happy in his heart, closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep, with a smile on his face.
The two maids pinched the shoulders and legs of the King of Shu, and after being sure that he was indeed asleep, they quietly got out of bed, stretched their tired bodies, and complained to each other in a low voice: "Can't the person who is the king take a bath every day?" There is water, and he doesn't have to do it himself. "yes, yes, I love to drink, that smell - I don't even dare to breathe."
The two of them whispered, packed up the bed and prepared to rest, when suddenly one woman froze, her face full of panic, and the other woman hurriedly followed her gaze, also stiffened with fright.
The King of Shu, who was obviously asleep, woke up at some point and was sitting on the bed listening intently.
Thinking that the complaint just now might be heard by the King of Shu, the two maids were remorseful and were thinking about how to beg for forgiveness, when the King of Shu on the bed spoke: "What voice, did you hear it?" β
The two women shook their heads at the same time, unable to speak before they had recovered from their horror.
"There's a sound, there's definitely something outside, go and see ...... No, no, I'll see for myself. Gan Zhao got out of bed, did not put on his boots, drew a knife from the table, and walked barefoot to the door.
The two maids trembled with fright and hugged each other tightly.
As soon as the king of Shu came out of the hatch, there was a plop, and there was silence for a long time, and someone pushed the door in, and it was a general with a knife.
The two girls rarely showed their heads, and they couldn't tell which family they were from, so they hugged each other tighter.
"Yo, the King of Shu is not shallow, don't be afraid, someone else will take you back to Yizhou, you just stay here honestly, don't run around, don't scream."
The two women nodded immediately.
The sword-carrying general exited the cabin.
"There will be ...... The King of Xinshu? When she was finally able to speak, a woman asked in a low voice.
"I hope it's a clean Shu king." The other woman, although still afraid, had a new reverie in her heart.
Xu Ji stayed in the camp of the Song army, waiting for the last group to set off.
Song Zhuzhu lifted the curtain and came in, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xu is really calm, not worried at all. β
"It's up to me to plan and act in General Song, and my worries are useless at this time."
"What if I fail?"
"I will flee to King Ning."
"Haha, Mr. Xu is really sincere. No wonder you don't claim to be king, but prefer to be a strategist, which sounds safer. β
"It is indeed safer, but when everything is successful, the one who gets everything is not a counselor."
Song Zhuzhu snorted, "Guo Shifeng passed by, he was just stopped by my people, how to deal with it?" β
"Ask him to come over."
"Mr. Xu can meet someone?"
"I have to hide for a while, so I want to recommend a strategist to General Song who can stay by his side at any time."
"Guo Shifeng? He is a popular man next to King Ning, why do you want to take refuge in me? Besides, he doesn't seem to be very reliable. β
"General Song wants reliable people?"
"Of course, in troubled times, reliability is more important than ability, right?"
Xu Ji shook his head.
"Am I not right?"
Xu Ji said: "In troubled times, for the strongest, reliability is more important than ability, and for others, ability is the most important. β
"I'm definitely not the strongest one, and because of this, I feel that I need reliable people more than Ning Wang and the others."
"General Song needs it more, but General Song must understand that you can't get it now."
Song Zhuzhu was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xu's words almost ruined my ambition. β
"But General Song has one advantage."
"I've got to hear it."
"It is as strong as Shan Yu and King Ning, and it must be single-minded to be reliable for them."
"What about the weak like me?"
"If you are not single-minded to King Ning, it can be considered reliable, please General Song does not care whether this person is loyal to you or not, just to see if he is against King Ning and disloyal to King Ning."
"There are so many of them."
"So this is General Song's advantage, and it is also the advantage of many weak among the heroes, and those who make good use of it are stronger because of it."
Song Zhuzhu lowered his head and thought for a while, "I'll go and invite Guo Shifeng." β
Guo Shifeng was stopped by Song Jun again, and he was very dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to attack on the spot, and said as he walked: "The matter is really urgent, King Ning wants me to go back today to restore my life......"
"It's just a short while, and it won't delay Mr. Guo's trip." Song Zhuzhu said with a smile, and insisted on pushing Guo Shifeng into the tent, but he did not follow.
Guo Shifeng was about to push back, but when he looked up and saw Xu Ji, he was stunned for a moment, and only squeezed out a smile after a while, "I'm really alive." β
"You may be seated." Xu Ji said with a smile.
Guo Shifeng sat on the stool, facing Xu Jimian who was sitting on the bunk, and suddenly stood up again, "Brother Ji is still alive, this is a great thing, but I ...... it."
"Brother Guo can't get out."
Guo Shifeng glanced at the door, sat down slowly, and a smile appeared on his face, "Song Zhuzhu?" Impossible, how could the younger brother choose him? No way. β
"Why?"
"Obviously, what does Song Zhuzhu have? Most of his soldiers were southerners, and as soon as they entered Hunan and Guangzhou, they would inevitably scatter and flee, and it was for this reason that King Ning sent him to the south. As for intelligence, courage, insight, and status, all of them are mediocre, and they are nothing more than a little famous in Xiangyang, but even in Xiangyang, he is not a first-class person. Guo Shifeng glanced at the door again, shook his head with a smile, "Is the younger brother coerced?" β
"Temporarily gain a foothold, in order to stay away from King Ning."
There is some truth to that. But why did my brother keep me? You must know that I am a counselor of King Ning, and I must report it truthfully when I return, and I must not hide anything. β
"King Ning is the same as Brother Guo?"
"Of course, I didn't do anything wrong."
"The person who King Ning cares about is not 'not doing anything wrong', but 'doing it right', what did Brother Guo do right in this big victory?"
"Is this a plot against me?" Guo Shifeng said with a smile, "Brother I really underestimate me. β
"I only asked two things, and then let Brother Guo leave, I don't have to worry about Brother Guo, I just want to explain things clearly."
"You ask, but I don't promise to answer truthfully." Guo Shifeng was already a little impatient.
"How did King Ning reply to King Shu?"
"There's no need to hide it, and the news will spread very quickly. King Ning's decision was to give up Yiling, Xiangyang did not let it, as for Hanzhou, the king of Shu could only occupy the two counties outside the plank road, as compensation, the king of Shu had to supply 100,000 troops with a year's grain and grass. β
"What about King Ning's actual decision?"
"Hehe, brother, this is difficult for a strong man." The negotiations with the King of Shu have not yet ended, and Guo Shifeng certainly cannot reveal the bottom line.
"Okay, let me ask the second thing: Brother Guo thinks he can please Kou Daogu?"
Guo Shifeng was displeased, got up and said, "Why should I please Kou Daogu? I have been following King Ning for a long time, and he has just been surrendered. β
"Well, I'm done."
"Farewell." Guo Shifeng arched his hand, strode out, and when he saw that Xu Ji did not stop, he stopped and turned around and said: "Inexplicably doing this dangerous move, what's wrong with Brother Ji?" β
"From the day Brother Guo recognized me, wasn't I just doing a 'dangerous trick'? Come to think of it, that's in my nature. β
Guo Shifeng laughed a few times, walked out of the tent, and arched his hand to Song Zhuzhu: "General Song has this good help, and his future is immeasurable. β
"Without a person like Mr. Guo, you won't be able to go far after all."
The two looked at each other and smiled, neither believing the other.
Song Zhuzhu sent Guo Shifeng out of the camp, and immediately rushed to see Xu Ji and asked, "Didn't it work?" Guo Shifeng will soon find out the truth. β
"If Guo Shifeng asks to see General Song and me when he returns, please kill General Song immediately."
"Huh?"
"Guo Shifeng must be treacherous, get through the tricks, and go to complain to King Ning, but he can only kill him."
"What if he takes a detour?"
"There are many scouts to monitor the intersection, and you must not let him pass, and you will kill him if you see him."
"Then he has no way to live, why let him take a look, it's better to do it here."
"If my guess is correct, once Guo Shifeng discovers the truth, he will neither come over to ask for a meeting, nor will he take a detour to see King Ning, but flee alone, and General Song will bring him back, then this person can be used."
"He didn't do anything wrong, so why did he run?"
Xu Ji showed a smile, "Guo Shifeng's sin is that he didn't do anything wrong." In short, please pay more attention to General Song. β
"Okay, please also ask Mr. Xu to prepare to leave, I can cross the river early to be sure, the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, and King Ning is ruthless, no one expected it."
Xu Ji got up and picked up the cloak on the floor, "You can go." β
