"Look." Chen said that Xu Ji's words really hit his heart.

Someone brought a stool and put it on the right hand side of the bookcase, Xu Ji sat down, Chang Yanzhi guarded behind him, his knife was searched as soon as he entered the camp, and he could only act as a guard.

Although Chen Yicai was born as a civil official, his sitting posture was more upright than that of a military general, and he looked at Xu Ji coldly, waiting for him to speak.

Xu Ji also looked at Chen Yicai, smiling, and refused to speak.

"Xu Gongzi is really the envoy of Xiangyang City?"

"I have here a letter from Lord Shouleng of Xiangyang City." Xu Jidao did not unload the burden of loading letters.

"Leng Yifang?"

"Hmm." Xu Ji said vaguely, he didn't ask the name of Lord Leng at all.

"It's an acquaintance, a jinshi in the same year, and since then I have gone south as an official, and I rarely meet him, is Lord Leng okay now?"

"Trapped in Xiangyang, there is a shortage of major generals."

"So I sent you here to ask for reinforcements? Ha. Chen Yicai laughed out loud and said to the generals in the tent: "A few years ago, I had the opportunity to be transferred to Xiangyang, all thanks to Leng Zhifang, which made me drown in Lingnan. But the providence of heaven has its own arrangement, and now Xiangyang has become a place of death, and Hunan and Guangzhou have become good places, and the so-called blessing and misfortune rely on each other, which is what it means. ”

Chen Yicai and Leng Yifang actually had a holiday, and Xu Ji regretted that when he was in the Eastern Capital, he didn't know much about the inside story of officialdom.

All the generals laughed together, and Xu Ji had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "It is precisely because I am familiar with General Chen that Leng asked me to come to the rescue." ”

"Hey, Leng Yifang is hungry and has sent messengers to all sides, right? Tell me, who is going to attack Xiangyang? ”

"And the state army."

"The Shen family's merge state army?"

"Exactly."

"I heard that Shen Mushou died unclear, and Shen Tan, the fifth son of the Shen family, called himself the King of Jin, is it true?"

"King Jin is indeed Shen Tan, I don't know anything else."

"The man is small, the ambition is not small, is he going to take over the whole world?"

"The state army is to fight for the Herong people."

"He Rongjun has really occupied the three states of Qin, He, and Hebei?"

"That's right, the other states have also surrendered, and General Chen must have sent people there too, right?"

A general shouted: "General Chen, who is a loyal minister by nature, how can he surrender to the barbarians outside the Saiwai? ”

"Shan Yu claims to be a reinforcement invited by Emperor Tiancheng, and worshipping him is worshipping the emperor."

The generals reprimanded one after another, and Chen Yi waved his hand to stop it, "Xu Gongzi is really here to ask for reinforcements?" ”

"Of course."

"But listening to Xu Gongzi say this, Xiangyang City seems to have nothing to save, you might as well go back and persuade Leng Yifang to surrender the city quickly, maybe you can reward him for an official job."

Xu Ji got up and arched his hand: "Please also ask General Chen to return to Lingnan quickly, destroy the road and seal the mountain, make a self-defense plan, and then send a messenger to deliver the letter of surrender to Shan Yu, or you can get a king title because of this." ”

Listening to the envoy's disrespectful words, all the generals in the tent opened their mouths to reprimand, and only waited for Chen Ill to give an order, and they wanted to divide Xu Ji's body into pieces.

"Take him down, keep him under strict guard, and no one is allowed to talk to him." Chen Yicai ordered.

The guards stepped forward and escorted the two out.

Chang Yanzhi was used to being a captive, and he had no intention of panicking, but he was a little surprised by Xu Ji's performance, "Gongzi didn't play well today, and he didn't persuade Chen Yicai, but made him retreat." ”

"What kind of person do you think General Chen is?" Xu Ji asked.

"This ...... The first time we met, I couldn't see why. ”

"Even a glimpse can be used to speculate."

"I'll try." Chang Yanzhi packed up his things and sat on the bed, "Although everyone says that Chen Aicai's army is a 'southern bandit', but I see that the camp is orderly, and it is by no means comparable to robbers and bandits. ”

"Hmm." Xu Ji nodded in encouragement.

"But the Southern Army has suffered successive defeats on water and land, and it is not that I belittle it, the Southern Army seems to be false."

Xu Ji smiled and nodded.

"So I speculate that Chen is talented and talented, and I have seen this kind of person, who can arrange small things meticulously, but panic when encountering big things. What does Childe think? ”

"I think you guessed it right, you can be a teacher without apprenticeship."

Chang Yanzhi smiled and said: "I have self-knowledge, if Chen Yicai is really my kind of person, Gongzi will not come to him first, and he will not be so calm at this time." Childe must have other speculations about him. ”

"Chen has been trapped in Lingnan for a long time, and has not been allowed to move north, it stands to reason that the Tiancheng court treats him unfairly, and he should be resentful, but he played the banner of King Qin and refused to send an envoy to submit a letter of surrender to Shan Yu, indicating that he is a person with lofty ambitions."

"Ambition is big and talent is sparse, that's what I said."

"It can only be said that his intelligence is not here, he can win the hearts of the people in Hunan and Guangzhou, and there is always something outstanding."

"If I have been an official in one place for 20 years, I can also get a lot of support."

"Hmm. What Chen Aicai needs most is a general, but what he wants most is ......"

Someone came in outside, and Xu Ji immediately shut up.

A general said, "Xu Ji, follow me." ”

Chang Yanzhi got up and said, "You stay." ”

Chen Aicai summoned Xu Ji alone in the sleeping tent, took off his armor, sat on the chair, no longer kept straight, and kept changing hands to rub the sides of his neck.

There was no one else in the tent, and the general stood at the door, staring at Xu Ji's every move.

"I haven't seen Leng Yifang's letter yet." Chen said sickly.

Xu Ji had already untied his burden, put the letter in his arms, took it out at this time, and was about to step forward, but the general next to him snatched it away, handed it over by him, and then returned to its original place.

Chen Yicai opened the letter, glanced at it and looked up and said, "This letter is not written to me." ”

"Impossible?" Xu Ji looked surprised.

Chen Yicai glanced at the letter again, and this time read it from beginning to end, "This is written to Song Zhuzhu, make friends with him, and ask him to go back to help defend Xiangyang." ”

Xu Ji patted his forehead lightly, "The people around Lord Leng made a mistake in their busy schedule, and they gave the letter to the wrong person." ”

Chen Yicai picked up the envelope and glanced at it, "It clearly says 'Prince of Chu's personal revelation', don't you see it?" ”

"The letter was directly packed in the baggage, and I never read it."

"Hey, as I expected, Leng Yifang went around to rescue, not looking for me alone."

"Although the letter is wrong, the meaning has not changed, General Chen ......"

"First, I can't cross the river, second, I don't want to save Xiangyang and Leng Yifang, and third, I don't want to offend He Rongren."

"In that case, why is General Chen in a hurry to go north? He Rongshan is determined to be in the world, and General Chen's step north is a threat to him. ”

"The southern army went north to King Qin, not to save Xiangyang."

"I saw the emperor in the He Rong camp."

"You've been with He Rongren?"

"It's a long story, but I've seen the emperor anyway—General Chen knows the current emperor."

"Your Majesty." Chen Yicai corrected.

"If the truth does not exist, why seek fame?"

Chen Yicai waited for a while and didn't insist anymore, "I haven't seen Your Majesty, but I heard that Your Majesty is the son of the King of Jibei, and I have several relationships with His Royal Highness. ”

"It's just a pity that the tiger fell in Pingyang, and the current emperor is not only forced to make Shan Yu's sister the queen, but also to follow the rumor, every time he returns to the palace, he must ask for instructions in every way, and he will leave his younger brother by Shan Yu's side as an attendant."

Chen Yicai's face changed slightly, and his body straightened up again, "It's too much to deceive people." ”

"This is just the beginning, waiting for the capture of Kyushu, the emperor must be regarded as a thorn in the side, I see what he means, first to get rid of the emperor, change the young new monarch, and then force the new monarch to take the throne."

Chen Yicai's face changed again, but this time he thought of something else, "It is rumored that you assassinated the Emperor of All Things, is this really the case?" ”

"That's right."

"And you dare to speak out about the humiliation of your majesty today?"

"I did stab, and then the current emperor sent me out of the eastern capital, in Yecheng, I had his shelter for more than a year, in the camp of Shan Yu the two of us have nothing to talk about, the emperor temporarily returned to Yuyang in the north, and I went south to find loyal ministers and good generals." Xu Ji nodded slightly, "That's all I can say." ”

Chen Yicai laughed and pondered for a long time, "What does saving Xiangyang have to do with King Qin?" ”

"The relationship is very big, He Rong people have occupied the three northern states, and the armies of the states are driven to attack the city and plunder the land, which will become a sweeping trend. Xiangyang is the gateway to Jingzhou, once it falls, Jingzhou will be owned by He Rongren, the adjacent Luozhou is in danger, the two states of Yi and Han are lonely and hanging in the west, Wu and Huai are trapped in the east corner, Kyushu is all divided into two, and they are all unable to hold out for long. This so-called trend is gone. ”

"Hunan and Guangzhou can still hold out for a while."

"Yes, and I guess that after occupying Kyushu, Shan Yu will be in a hurry to seize the emperor's position, and he will have no time to go south for a while, and it is very likely that he will use the Huairou strategy for the Sifang Sanzhou, and General Chen will show a little obedience, and it is really possible to win a king's title."

"Ha, I will never fight for the title of king from a foreigner."

Xu Ji arched his hand, "This is the reason why I came to see General Chen through many obstacles. ”

"You've heard of me?"

"I was in the General's Mansion, and I once heard people talk about General Chen." Xu Ji observed carefully, knowing that he didn't guess correctly this time, and immediately said: "Later, when I got together with Lord Fei Xun Fei and Lord Yin Fu Yin, I also talked about General Chen. ”

Chen Yicai's eyes finally lit up, "Lord Yin has talked about me?" ”

Xu Ji still has a list of names in his heart, and he doesn't need to say it now, "Well, Lord Yin praised General Chen a lot, and said to me that this is the wronged minister who governs the world, the loyal minister of the troubled times, the one who revives the heavens, or his person." ”

"I don't have much contact with Lord Yin, I can't imagine that he actually remembers me." Chen was both excited and a little skeptical.

"Lord Yin is a proud disciple of Mr. Fan Guanfan, the best at recognizing people, but he does not want to associate with people, he said, looking at people is rough, it is enough to look at people from a distance, and it is easy to be confused by them when looking closely."

Chen Yicai nodded again and again, "That makes sense." ”

Xu Ji made up a bunch of words for Yin Fu, and said: "But the world is in chaos, and Lord Yin can't sit and watch, he is now in command of a Jizhou army, retreating to the junction of Qin and Liang, waiting for an opportunity, as long as the south moves, he will respond in the north." ”

Chen Yicai was moved, "Even Lord Yin ...... You step back and rest, I have to think about this matter carefully, not to mention that there is a big river in front of me, I just want to save Xiangyang, and I can't do it for a while. ”

Xu Ji surrendered and retired, not in a hurry to persuade.

Returning to his residence, Chang Yanzhi smiled and said, "Childe succeeded?" ”

"It's only five points."

"It's already remarkable. When Childe left, he didn't finish speaking, Chen Aicai needed a general the most, but what did he want most? ”

"Fame." Xu Jidao said that all his persuasions were based on this.
