Chapter 106: Wake up at night
(Ask for a subscription and ask for a commuter pass.) )
Guo Shifeng came out and laughed: "Why is the younger brother so late? Wait another day, we'll miss it, and you'll have to go to Los Angeles to find us. ”
Xu Ji turned sideways to let the soldiers come in and out, and arched his hand: "Yingcheng...... Whose is it now? ”
"Please come in first, and then it's not too late for me to pick up the wind and wash the dust for my brother."
In a small side hall, Guo Shifeng ordered people to set up a banquet, personally poured tea and wine, and inquired about the situation in Yecheng.
Xu Ji didn't know anything, when he left, Yecheng hadn't gotten the latest news on the battle situation in Mengjin, and there was no change from when Guo Shifeng left.
Guo Shifeng sighed: "Shi Ye, fate also, if the younger brother leaves Yecheng early, he may be able to catch up with the major events here, if it is two or three days late, he may be able to usher in a turning point in Yecheng and persuade the generals of Jizhou to return to the state and merge with the state." Alas, the younger brother left neither early nor late, and just missed the opportunities on both sides. ”
"Brother Guo left early, it must be an opportunity to catch up here."
"Haha, luck is just a little bit better." Guo Shifeng told the battle of Mengjin and Ma Wei's occupation of Yingcheng, he didn't experience it, only knew about it, and finally said: "I almost missed it, but fortunately, everything is undecided, and King Liang needs to employ people." There is nothing to say, I have known King Liang for many years, and I have a deep and righteous relationship. ”
"King Liang must be very happy."
"King Liang has been too busy recently, and he has to lead his troops south tomorrow, so he really can't spare time to summon his brother, let me offer condolences on my behalf, and my brother will be blamed."
"No wonder, if Brother Guo has something, go and get busy first, I can wait."
"Strategist, busy with the future, once something happens, you will be leisurely, you can accompany your brother to drink."
The two chatted while drinking, Guo Shifeng sighed with emotion: "Tiancheng Dynasty is really hopeless, who would have thought that in just one night, the entire army would suddenly collapse?" The king of the incarnation was timid, thinking that the officers and soldiers were cheating, and he did not dare to send troops to pursue, but the Shen family saw the opportunity quickly and led the Jinyang soldiers to chase and fight fiercely and establish great achievements. ”
"The officers and soldiers have obviously won one after another, why are they shocked for no reason? There has to be a reason. ”
"The Jinyang soldiers and the descendant army captured a lot of prisoners, but they ...... The two families were a little dissatisfied with King Liang and refused to exchange news. Guo Shifeng said with a smile.
Needless to explain, Xu Ji already understood the reason, the two armies fought hard in Mengjin, but Ma Wei ran to the rear to seize the city, which would naturally annoy many people.
"What about King Wu Yue?"
Guo Shifeng shook his head, "There has been no news for a long time, it is estimated that there were no officers and soldiers in the early days of the war, it is said that he only brought a thousand cavalry, and he will not be the opponent of the officers and soldiers." ”
"The Battle of Mengjin has ended, and the King of Liang is heading south at this time...... Are you going to attack the Eastern Capital together? ”
"Haha, although the younger brother came late, he could see the situation immediately, that's right, King Liang is going to attack the Eastern Capital." Guo Shifeng put away his smile, "Don't care what the reason is, the defeat of the officers and soldiers will be like a mountain, and the heroes of all parties will swarm, whoever occupies the eastern capital first will be able to command the heroes." ”
Xu Ji smiled and just drank.
Guo Shifeng asked, "Brother Brother, have other ideas?" ”
Xu Ji shook his head, "Brother Guo has explained the situation thoroughly, I have no idea." ”
Guo Shifeng said more and ate less, Xu Ji was the opposite, said less and ate more, and in the evening, Guo Shifeng arranged a place for Xu Ji to live, said goodbye and left.
Tang Weitian entered the house with his stomach in his hand, and smirked with satisfaction, "Enough, enough." ”
"Full?" Xu Ji asked.
"It's the first time in so many years that I've eaten so much, look at my belly." Tang Weitian patted lightly twice, and his stomach made a drum-like sound.
Xu Ji was about to laugh, but Tang Weitian cried, and he felt embarrassed, so he raised his hand to wipe it, but the more he wiped it, the more tears he wiped.
"I'll feed you every meal in the future." Xu Ji still thought it was funny.
Tang Weitian shook his head, "No, I think of my dead father and mother, they didn't eat a full meal......"
Xu Ji immediately retracted, "Mourn." ”
Tang Weitian cried even harder, and only stopped after a while, desperately squeezing out a smile, "What's wrong with me?" When I was hungry in the past, I didn't even think about my father and mother, and finally had a full meal, but I was hypocritical and let my son see jokes. ”
"I don't laugh, I lost my mother myself. What's more, Cang Liao knows etiquette, and it is normal for you to think of your parents after you are full. ”
"Childe can speak, I don't know etiquette, I just feel sorry, life in the world, I have to eat a full meal and die before it's too late, from now on, I'm not afraid of death."
"It's good not to be afraid of death, but it's also ......"
There was a knock on the door outside, Tang Weitian was stunned for a while before he reacted, wiped the remaining tears on his face, turned around and opened the door, "Who are you looking for?" ”
"Is Seventeen Sons here?"
"Heh, so many sons, I haven't seen ......"
Xu Ji hurriedly greeted the door, arched his hand and smiled: "It turned out to be Zhou joined the army, please come in." ”
Zhou Yuanbin once went south from Jinyang to Yingcheng with Xu Ji, and they talked about everything on the way, and they were already very familiar.
Zhou Yuanbin entered the house, and after sitting down, Ai Aidi didn't speak much, and Xu Ji said to Tang Weitian: "You go and see our donkeys, don't let them go hungry." ”
"Yes, I am well fed, and I cannot let the animals go hungry, but I will share in the blessings." Tang Weitian hurriedly ran out.
"Where did the seventeenth prince find such a reckless boy?" Zhou Yuanbin was accustomed to seeing obedient and courteous servants, and he was quite eye-catching when he looked at Tang Weitian.
"The soldiers of the Descendant Army from Qinzhou have suffered a lot with me these days, and I am grateful to him, otherwise I would have died in the unknown mountains."
Zhou Yuanbin laughed dryly twice and said in a low voice: "The seventeenth prince came to Yingcheng, who is the one who wants to defect?" ”
Xu Ji didn't answer, and Zhou Yuanbin continued: "Although the banners of Jin and Liang were erected in this city, it was actually occupied by King Liang's treacherous schemes. Alas, it's all my fault, and I didn't notice it for a while...... The seventeenth prince came from afar, if it is the Shen family, I have something to say, if it is the king of Liang, I will leave now. ”
"Zhou joins the army, please say something."
Zhou Yuanbin was eager to win over his allies, and immediately said, "King Liang...... Hey, what kind of Liang king is he, Ma Weijiu occupies the magpie's nest, his heart is sinister, I have carefully observed, the real Liang soldiers are actually not many, less than a hundred, the others are improvised conscripted soldiers and forced people in the city. When Shen Mushou left, he left me a thousand soldiers, and I came at the first move, but I couldn't get out of the house, and I couldn't deliver orders. ”
Zhou Yuanbin casually multiplied his troops several times, but Xu Ji didn't know or care, and persuaded: "King Liang will lead his troops south tomorrow, join the armies, and enter the eastern capital." The merits will have their own public opinion when the time comes, and there is no need for Zhou to join the army and fight bravely for a while. ”
"I understand that when I arrive in Luozhou, my father-in-law will definitely ask Ma Wei for his guilt, but if I lose the city, my sin is not small, and I must make up for it......" Zhou Yuanbin was ashamed and angry, his face was red, "Shen Da also came back, but he refused to help me, but instead flattered Ma Wei, which is shameful." ”
"In my humble opinion, Zhou Xianjun might as well flatter him."
"Oh, Shen Wu accepted the seventeenth prince wholeheartedly, and you actually ......"
Xu Ji said with a smile: "Shen Bingzhou is determined to be in the world, and he will not care too much about the gains and losses of a city, and Jinyang is the fundamental place, and Jinyang is stable, so Shen Bingzhou has no worries." For Zhou's military plan, the best strategy is to seek the permission of King Liang, return to Jinyang as soon as possible, strengthen the garrison, and the middle strategy is to go south with the army, and spread the word between King Liang and Shen Bingzhou, and the next strategy is to fight a blow, and if you lose, you will die, and if you win, you will lose the army of King Liang, which is not conducive to attacking the eastern capital. ”
Zhou Yuanbin was stunned for a while, and said reluctantly: "I didn't think about it so much...... Well, I chose the strategy, alas, to curry favor with Mavi, what a ...... Thank you Seventeen for your advice. ”
Zhou Yuanbin said goodbye, he lived in the same courtyard, couldn't go out, borrowed wine every day to drown his sorrows, but he was not in the mood to entertain, he would only drink alone.
Tang Weitian came back, somewhat understood the rules, made the bed for Xu Ji, picked up the brocade quilt, stroked it gently, and said in surprise: "There is still such a smooth thing in the world." ”
Xu Ji slept on the bed, Tang Weitian lay on the small couch by the window, turned over and over, and soon lay on the ground with his son in his arms, "No, it's too soft on it, I'd better sleep on the ground, this quilt is good, I have to keep it." ”
It didn't take long for Tang Weitian to sit up suddenly, "It's not good, I've eaten too much, I'm going to ......" Without waiting to finish speaking, he got up and ran out.
When Xu Ji returned to the familiar environment for the first time, he felt a little uncomfortable, lying there in a daze, thinking of Guo Shifeng's words, he really missed the opportunity, and he couldn't even see Ma Wei immediately.
If a few days ago, Xu Ji would have been confused and a little annoyed, but after meeting Fan Shu, he had many new ideas, which were originally vague, but under the tempering of what he saw and heard, he gradually revealed a bit of his true face.
Xu Ji's heart is as calm as water, but he is still indecisive about what to do next, there seem to be many things to do, and every single thing is not worth doing when he thinks about it carefully, so if he waits quietly, he will quickly become a useless person......
Tang Weitian came back, fell to the ground and slew, without saying a word, soon there was a sound of snoring, and after more than half an hour, he suddenly jumped up again and ran out.
Eating too much and not adapting to the greasy, Tang Weitian had a bad stomach, and he kept getting up all night, but he had a ability, he fell asleep, almost unaffected, and the person who was tortured was Xu Ji, and every time he didn't wait for him to fall asleep, he would be awakened.
Tang Weitian came back for the fifth time, lay down for a while, did not snore, and said: "Finally relaxed, but it's a pity that the table is really a waste of good wine and meat." ”
Tang slapped himself for the sky, he really used his strength, crisp and loud.
Xu Ji didn't squeak.
After a while, Tang Weitian said again: "Childe, what are assassins for?" ”
As an assassin, Xu Ji was more sensitive to the word "assassin", and his heart moved, "Assassins are assassins in secret...... How did you remember to ask this? ”
"The Assassins turned out to be black hands, and they were not heroes. When I first returned, I heard someone talking about the Assassin and asking him what he was doing and if it would be bad. ”
Xu Ji sighed lightly, it seems that Zhou Yuanbin is not dead yet, and he still wants to assassinate Ma Wei.
"Who is Shen Bingzhou? Who did you offend? Why would anyone want to kill him? ”
Xu Ji was taken aback and sat up, "The assassin wants to kill Shen Bingzhou?" ”
"yes, that's what I heard."
"Who said that? Is it Zhou Yuanbin who came to visit when it was dark? ”
Tang Wentian thought for a while, "I can't hear it, it's too cold outside, I'm in a hurry to come back to sleep, and I only heard a few words." ”
Xu Ji also felt a hint of coldness.
