"Isn't there anything else the county lord can do? Always guessing my intentions. Xu Ji said flatly, trying to control the anger in his heart.

King Xiangdong frowned slightly, "She didn't just guess King Wu's intentions, in order to capture the eastern capital, she guessed everyone's intentions, she said that she couldn't go out in person, she had to think about everything...... Alas, she still failed, but she was not to blame, I was not to blame for not listening to her advice. If I hadn't recruited a general......"

"If the king of Xiangdong doesn't go to attract him, the general will also come, he was in a dilemma at that time, and the Luozhou soldiers were homesick, and he had no choice."

"That's different, my daughter said......" King Xiangdong raised his eyes and looked at King Wu, but did not continue.

Xu Ji smiled: "King Xiangdong doesn't want to say it, forget it." Sun Yalu returned to Yecheng, presumably he would soon be able to bring back the answer of the county lord, if there is no accident, the king of Xiangdong will stay with me for a while. ”

King Xiangdong's face changed slightly, "My daughter is not so vulnerable to threats. ”

"Threats? How can it be a threat? Asking the general of Xiangdong Wang Dai to take charge of the Luozhou army, at least a good intention, right? ”

King Xiangdong shook his head, "You won't succeed." ”

"Won't you succeed in convincing the king of Xiangdong? I only send out invitations, I don't persuade or force. Since the king of Xiangdong only obeys his daughter's orders, he might as well write a letter and ask for her advice. She guessed my intentions, and I guessed: Hmm...... She would definitely agree. ”

"If she agrees, I won't refuse, but King Wu don't have too much hope."

"Is the King of Xiangdong willing to write this letter?"

"Yes."

There is a ready-made pen and paper in the house, Xu Ji studied ink, and the king of Xiangdong wrote a simple letter, and he did not shy away from King Wu.

The content of the letter is very simple, wait for the ink to dry, and the king of Xiangdong folds it, "King Wu is like the sun, beware of prosperity and decline." ”

"For me, it is just the morning sun to defend the eastern capital, and it is still far from the sun." Xu Ji called the guards and ordered him to find someone to deliver a message to Yecheng.

Xu Ji was about to leave, but suddenly became a little curious, "The county lord guessed everyone's intentions?" ”

"Of course it has to be the ones who are worth guessing."

"Who is worth guessing?"

"For example, King Wu, but you are not the first person she wants to guess."

"Oh, and sorting?"

The king of Xiangdong nodded, but refused to continue.

Xu Ji smiled, turned around and left, acting that he didn't care at all, but he remembered this incident in his heart.

The invitation to the king of Xiangdong was unsuccessful, and Xu Ji was not particularly disappointed, after all, the king of Xiangdong was just a name, and what he really needed was a general, who could make good use of tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Luozhou and be in charge alone.

So he still has to win over Tan Wufu.

Tan Wuxian is relatively idle these days, hanging around with a sword every day, still likes to argue with others, commenting on the recent wars, and degrading the righteous army and King Wu to nothing, "Luck, it's all a fluke, with this you can win a momentary victory, and you can't dominate the world." ”

When the messenger of King Wu came to him, Tan Wuwu was fighting with a group of small soldiers, although the number of small soldiers was large, but they could not compete with him, then he instigated: "Old Tan, you have the ability to say this to King Wu, see if you can 'get lucky' once." ”

"What don't you dare? King Wu obeyed me, but I didn't want to tell him more, why? Because my words are like a sword unparalleled in the world, falling in your eyes, it is a joke, even if you can appreciate its benefits, you can't use it, King Wu is different, he can use it. ”

The soldiers laughed, pushed Tan to leave senselessly, and called him "fool" behind his back.

Tan Wuwei didn't feel stupid at all, chattering with the messenger on the road, and when he saw King Wu, he really shut up and just gave a salute.

The messenger was annoyed by what he said, and couldn't help but sue him in person: "King Wu, General Tan has something to say to you, he thinks that our several victories are all flukes, and it won't be long before the next battle will be defeated." ”

"I didn't use the word 'falling flowers and flowing water', with the wisdom of King Wu, even if he was defeated, he would not be defeated."

The messenger retired, and Xu Ji asked Tan to sit down meaninglessly, "Second brother thinks that the righteous army is holding the eastern capital by luck? ”

"King Wu still calls me General Tan, you call me second brother, I'm embarrassed to say that yours is not."

"Haha, okay, please General Tan know everything."

"It can't all be said to be a fluke, after all, if King Wu hadn't insisted on it for so long, luck wouldn't have fallen on you."

"Let's not talk about persistence, just luck."

"Well, is there any wine? I talked too much today and had a bit of a dry mouth. ”

Xu Ji asked Tang Weitian to find wine, and said with a smile: "I would like General Tan to say something to me often, but you don't want to." ”

"Hey, that's what I told the soldiers, they don't believe it!"

"If you will be my general, they will believe."

Tan shook his head senselessly, "My mind hasn't changed, my lord is still the king of Jin." ”

"If the King of Jin is ...... Unfortunately, I lost to He Rongbu, and I don't have a chance to be your lord again? ”

Tan pointlessly gave his hand, "If there is a second choice, I will choose King Wu." ”

"Haha, it's my luck to be so valued by General Tan."

"King Wu, don't be too happy, King Jin will never be defeated......"

Tang Weitian came in with wine, Tan interrupted it needlessly, poured himself a drink, tasted it, nodded, and asked, "The newly snatched wine from the officers and soldiers?" ”

"Well, the officers and soldiers left a lot of provisions."

"The hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, and even if Tiancheng reaches the point where the building has collapsed, the wine left behind is still better than that of the righteous army."

"Maybe this is the reason for Tiancheng's early death, the people are poor and the soldiers are rich."

"Maybe, I only know that the generals of Tiancheng don't use soldiers, they obviously have an advantage, but they always collapse for no reason, if you want to say that King Wu's luck is really good, he can always catch up with such a good thing."

"That's because everyone else is avoiding the officers and soldiers, I rose to the challenge, and the first time I did this, it was General Tan's idea."

Tan pointlessly waved his hand, indicating that it was not worth mentioning, and poured himself another full glass.

"General Tan just said that the King of Jin will never be defeated, before the King of Jin left, did you give him an idea?"

Tan shook his head senselessly, "King Jin was worried that I would leak secrets, so he didn't ask me what I had in mind, I just guessed, with my understanding of King Jin, I can guess how he will avoid the defeat of Jinyang." ”

"It's funny, everyone seems to like to guess other people's thoughts and intentions, and then judge the winner."

"The art of war is dead, people are alive, dead soldiers can learn it, and even a small lieutenant can do something about setting up camp and arranging troops as a last resort, but the living can only figure out and guess, and those who know this way are generals."

"In that case, let me also guess and see if it coincides with General Tan."

"Yes, if we guess the same, I can talk about it carefully, if we guess differently, I still drink the bar honestly, but I can't ruin King Jin's plan."

"Haha, there's a lot of wine, please drink to your heart's content. Well, I guess that the King of Jin will not wait to return to Jinyang, and will send someone to make peace with He Rongbu halfway. ”

Tan put down the wine glass meaninglessly, "This cup can't be drunk." That's right, King Wu is in line with my guess. He Rong is a border trouble in the north, and winning is not beneficial to the south, if he loses, he will lose all his capital, so no matter whether he wins or loses, this battle is not worth fighting. ”

"What's more, the Shen family has been in contact with He Rongbu for many years, and they have a good relationship, as long as King Jin is willing to give up some benefits, he should be able to satisfy He Rongbu."

"King Wu just guessed this?"

"I guessed it a long time ago."

"In that case, why did you let King Jin leave?"

"Although He Rongbu is a border trouble, if he is allowed to do so, it is inevitable that he will not enter the Central Plains in groups, and he will become a big trouble at that time. Whether it is the main battle of the King of Jin or the pursuit of peace, he can always temporarily block it and give the Central Plains a period of respite. ”

"King Wu is generous and thinks long-term, which makes me admire." Tan didn't have to give it up.

Xu Ji toasted, "Why don't we continue to speculate, this time guessing other people to help the wine, how about it?" ”

Tan Wuwu glanced at a few simple side dishes on the table, and said with a smile: "Very good." Which hero is King Wu interested in? ”

"Strictly speaking, this person can't be regarded as a hero-the Huanyan County Lord of Yecheng, has General Tan guessed her?"

"Of course I guessed, the rumors said that the two kings and generals of Jizhou were arranged by her, and since then I have been thinking that this woman is not simple, but Jizhou was defeated, the boss was killed, the king of Jibei was exiled in Jingzhou, and the king of Xiangdong was trapped in the eastern capital, and I think this woman is nothing more than that. The Tiancheng Imperial Court is really unmanned, and it is even a woman to command the generals. ”

"Me too." Xu Ji reminded.

"Descended General...... It's okay. Tan said reluctantly, he needed to press it with a glass of wine, "At least there is nothing wrong with it." I have been walking in the camp these days, and I have seen that the soldiers are changing with each passing day, and if I can persevere, I can really become a strong soldier. ”

"General Tan praised falsely. But let's also talk about the county lord of Huanyan, I just met the king of Xiangdong, he said that the county lord asked him to beware of the general, instead of asking for help, he went against the will of the county lord, and caused a big defeat. ”

In this way, the county lord is still a sensible person, but she sees through the general, but she can't see through her father, and she is still responsible for this defeat. But it's not a defeat, and there is still a chance to win. ”

"What chance?"

Tan shook his head meaninglessly and smiled: "I won't say this, because the county lord would definitely not have imagined that a woman who can guard Yecheng is already very remarkable, and she definitely does not have the same strategy as me." ”

Tang Weitian stood aside and served wine, rolling his eyes.

Xu Ji didn't mean to laugh, "It is said that the county lord is also guessing the world's heroes, and I am not in the first place." ”

Tan Wuxian was slightly stunned, "Who is in first place?" ”

"The king of Xiangdong refused to say."

Tan meaninglessly brought the wine to his mouth, didn't drink it and put it down, "She really has this idea?" Impossible, never. ”

Xu Ji didn't urge, just persuaded to drink, and it didn't take long for Tan Wuxian to hold back, "I don't know what kind of woman the county lord Huanyan is, but if I am in Yecheng, when the Jizhou army was defeated last time, I have to find a way to turn defeat into victory, and the method is ready-made." ”

"It's that simple?" Xu Ji smiled, a little unconvinced.

"King Wu has occupied the eastern capital for a long time, and he may not feel anything about the siege of strong enemies from time to time, but in the eyes of the Quartet, King Wu rose too quickly and too suddenly, and he will be jealous. What's more, the eastern capital is the old capital of heaven and the place of the four wars, which everyone covets. Therefore, if I am in Yecheng, I have to contact the heroes as early as possible, if the Jizhou army wins, I will divide the group of friends, and prevent them from working together to seize the eastern capital, and if the Jizhou army is defeated - that is, the current situation, I will encourage the heroes to fight together. ”

"It's really a ruthless plan, and the heroes will be convinced?"

Tan shook his head senselessly, "It's difficult, it's not difficult to guess Yecheng's heart, nine times out of ten, the heroes are unwilling to work for her, I don't believe that Lord Huanyan really has the ability to persuade everyone to work together, so King Wu can rest assured." ”

As soon as the words fell, a guard ran in from outside, "Ruling over, General Dai Pohu Dai is back." ”

"Come in, please."

Dai Pohu was ordered to go to Jingzhou to inquire about the news, and Xu Ji was waiting for his news.

Dai Pohu came in with a dusty face, and arched his hand: "The Jingzhou soldiers are already on the way, there are about 50,000 people, there is enough food and grass, and they will be able to rush to the eastern capital in a few days." ”

Tan laughed senselessly, "If this is the first army to encircle the Eastern Capital, I really admire the county lord Huanyan, if there is no encirclement, the Xi family of Jingzhou will fight for the Eastern Capital alone, it will be sent to death, and King Wu will have another great luck." ”
